Chapter 188 I want the income from the original soundtrack album
Well, although it is a bit arrogant but respectful, it is not shabby to make money.
After confirming that Wu Mu really planned to invest in their project, Yang Rongfa's attitude immediately became enthusiastic.
At this time, their company really needs someone to take over this project.
The current situation of their company can be said to be very bad.
Originally, they lost all their money on their last movie and owed a large amount of money. They used the reason that their company was going to make a profitable drama next and reluctantly persuaded the debtors to give them a period of grace. .
In the end, I didn’t expect that their new project would encounter such a weird thing.
Li Hu was caught, and the promised investment was undoubtedly ruined, and no other investors were willing to make up for it.
If this continues, their project will really fail. All the preliminary preparations and costs invested during this period will be wasted.
That will undoubtedly make their company’s already bad situation worse.
Now that someone is finally willing to take over and invest, we must seize the opportunity.
Yang Rongfa immediately forgot about the previous unhappiness and introduced Wu Mu enthusiastically:
"We now need about 50 million investment, Li Hu and Phantom Entertainment They have all withdrawn from investment. Based on the previous investment amount, the funding gap is about 70 million, but we have cut some project expenditures, so we can reduce the gap to 50 million. "
Fifty million?
After Wu Mu thought about it, he asked: "How much is Zhou Yu's salary?"
Zhou Yu's salary?
Why is this person asking this?
After Yang Rongfa was stunned, he felt something bad in his heart, but he still hesitated and replied: "The package price of his salary is 22 million."
The package price is 2,000. Two million?
The price is quite conscientious.
Wu Mu was surprised.
There are two main ways to calculate remuneration in the industry. One is to package the remuneration, read the project script, and give a total price after an overall evaluation.
Another one is to calculate based on the number of episodes. You will be paid according to the number of episodes you appear in the series.
Although he didn’t know the specific salary figure for a top film and television star like Zhou Yu, he was certain that it would never be less than 1.8 million per episode.
For an ordinary TV series with forty or fifty episodes, the salary alone is almost 100 million.
Although Paiyang Rongfa's project cannot be said to be a salary reduction, it is definitely a more conscientious price.
Zhou Yu and the others are really conscientious in their price offer. The main reason is that their purpose is not to make money. Zhou Yu and the others intend to use this drama directed by Wang Ren to consolidate their quality as a top-notch film and television star. The public image is gone.
As long as the project has a good reputation and can bring about an increase in reputation, it doesn't matter if you make less money.
It’s a pity that they hit the dead end.
Wu Mu said directly, "Replace Zhou Yu and I will act."
Alas, I knew it.
Yang Rongfa sighed in his heart. When he heard Wu Mu asking about Zhou Yu's salary, he roughly guessed Wu Mu's request.
But.
Yang Rongfa shook his head, "He can't be replaced."
Wu Mu looked at him doubtfully, "What should I say?" Yang Rongfa thought. After thinking about it, I spoke:
"We invited Zhou Yu to come to our project for two main purposes. One is to let him carry traffic and attract fans and audiences. With his popularity, we can also make bids to film and television platforms."
“The second one is that Zhou Yu’s company has the resources of Penguin. Their company agreed to let Zhou Yu star in this project, and Penguin could give us a bargain price to buy the film. "
Yang Rongfa naturally knows that the outside world is not very optimistic about their project, although he himself is confident, otherwise he would not shoot it.
But they also know how to find insurance for their projects.
The penguin behind Zhou Yu is the insurance they found for themselves. If they sell it at that price, even if they lose money, they won't lose too much.
Wu Mu didn’t expect that there was such an inside story, but thinking about it, this kind of thing is actually quite common in the industry. The company behind Zhou Yu has Penguin’s investment, so Penguin will definitely be biased. Yu buys Zhou Yu's movies, which is equivalent to putting part of the money from the left pocket to the right pocket.
Seeing that Yang Rongfa clearly didn’t want to replace Zhou Yu, he shook his head and said, "It seems that there is no chance of cooperation. If we can't replace him, then I won't invest."< br>
Yang Rongfa was undoubtedly feeling very sad. They really lacked this kind of life-saving money now, but really replacing Zhou Yu with Wu Mu seemed to him like drinking poison to quench his thirst.
Not only is the insurance behind it gone, it may also affect the quality of their drama series.
Their series requires a certain level of acting skills.
Wu Mu’s acting skills are well known in the circle and are recognized as facial paralysis acting skills.
In terms of popularity, they also need Zhou Yu’s popularity to negotiate prices with other film and television platforms.
A top film and TV star like Zhou Yu, who has a good reputation among fans and passers-by, can help them push up the price.
As for Wu Mu, let’s not mention that he still hasn’t figured out whether there is a fan or not. He seems to be in a quantum superposition state. Even the reputation of passers-by is definitely not good.
Now if you ask in the industry who is the celebrity with the most fans, there will definitely be different opinions, but if you ask who is the celebrity with the most dislikes in the industry, a certain star will definitely rank first.
Yang Rongfa tried to convince Wu Mu. He didn’t talk about popularity and resources, but started from the drama itself:
“Teacher Wu Mu, it’s not that we don’t want to invite you, but This role is really not suitable for you. This role requires a more outgoing and lively type, and it will be very difficult for you to perform."
But as soon as he said this, Wu Mu didn't reply.
Wang Ren, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "We can change the script and make Wang Chuang's character more like Wu Mu."
Yang Rongfa frowned and looked at Wang Ren, wanting to ask where this person was from.
And change the script? Directly modifying the character's personality will make a good story completely different. Isn't it worth the loss?
Wang Ren had his own ideas. He said seriously: "I think the character Wang Chuang is too persuasive. The image he presents is not enough to convince everyone. The heroine Lin Mo will like it. Such a person.”
“His character has no essence of his own in many aspects. It is just that the plot requires his existence. There are many scenes of this character, but in terms of performance, But there’s not much that stands out.”
Wu Mu looked at Wang Ren unexpectedly. He actually noticed that the character’s personality was a bit inappropriate, but he originally planned to cheat by relying on the system’s lottery. Unexpectedly, Wang Ren would go a step further and be willing to directly change the script.
He recalled the content of the script he had read before, and he could roughly understand what Wang Ren meant.
In general, the role of the second male lead, Wang Chuang, is a bit too instrumental. The plot requires the heroine to like him, so the heroine falls in love with him. The overall character is a little unconvincing.
It would be a good thing to change the script.
Seeing that Yang Rongfa still didn’t agree with it and wanted to persuade him, Wu Mu said directly: “Mr. Yang, it is a necessary condition for me to play this role. If I can’t do it, then I won’t Investment. "
"In addition, the composition must be handled by me, and all the proceeds from the soundtrack album shall be mine." Wu Mu made his second request.
