Chapter 52 Investment and Return
After the project is found, things still have to be done.
If you want to make a novel into a TV series, the first thing you need to do is contact the author to buy the copyright.
This is a blessing from heaven for any novel author.
Chen Pingsheng contacted the author of Hua Qiangu through the novel publishing platform and learned that his work was about to be adapted into a TV series.
The human author is even more confused than he is.
I almost missed it.
I was so happy that I didn’t dare to ask the price, for fear that I would be rejected if the price was too high.
Actually, novel writers are still quite miserable.
Only one in a million can achieve results, while failure to achieve results is the norm.
If something like this can be adapted into a TV series, it's even more like Destiny's Child.
Once the drama becomes popular, the author's other novels will attract attention from the drama circle.
It can be said that he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.
Chen Pingsheng asked her to come to Beijing for a direct interview. Since the return on investment was so high, price was not an issue.
Secondly, I want to adapt the novel, which involves a lot of expertise.
With the author himself as the screenwriter, Chen Pingsheng feels that he can better ensure the originality of the script.
Zhao Liying felt relieved after hearing that he had contacted her.
Anyway, she is very optimistic about this script and plays the role of Hua Qiangu.
There is also a vacancy in the market.
After this kind of adaptation is released, there is a high probability that it will become popular, but she did not expect it to become so popular.
"Liying, I'm going to invest 100 million in this drama. After Lu Zhen is finished filming, you can just shoot this."
One hundred million, that's an S+ project.
It is a top resource in the industry, but he is the heroine, and other roles have not yet been decided.
Just wait until Yang Jiancheng and the novel author arrive, and then the three of them will choose the roles together.
There are so many female characters in it, Chen Pingsheng secretly thought, if he wanted to hide the rules.
I guess I can sleep from the beginning to the end of the year.
From when the yang energy is strong, sleep to when the yin energy is at its peak.
If you have money in the entertainment industry, you can really sleep whenever you want.
Unfortunately, he is not here for this, all his purpose is to make money.
If Tengying does a good job, it may be able to be listed on the market in the future.
If he were the ancestor of a listed company, it would feel very good.
It’s just that after he spends the 100 million, the balance will be only over 30 million, and he will definitely not be able to invest in big projects.
You can also participate in several small projects.
Chen Pingsheng prepared the contract and asked Zhao Liying to sign it first.
His Tengying Entertainment also officially has its first artist.
At noon, the two of them went to the Guomao downstairs for dinner together.
After Yang Jiancheng came, he told him about investing in Hua Qiangu. Yang Jiancheng was the director he was most familiar with. Of course, when it comes to such a good project, he should first consider his acquaintances.
An investment project worth hundreds of millions is not at the same level as the previous two dramas.
It will be very challenging, if this is successful.
He is completely established in the director world.
Chen Pingsheng still did not participate in any creation or filming of the script.
Professional matters should only be left to professionals.
On the first day Tengying opened its doors, apart from signing Zhao Liying.
By the way, Yang Jiancheng was also signed over.
We already have directors and artists, and we need a more capable manager and operations team behind us.
These are not urgent matters. Agents are usually responsible for finding projects, endorsements, and various resources for artists.
Tengying takes selfies, so there is no need for it yet.
As for the operation team, let’s wait until Xiao Zhao becomes really popular.
Behind a big star there must be a group of people serving him.
From making makeup to controlling public opinion, there are dedicated people responsible for everything.
The meal between the three of them officially determined Tengying's future development direction in the entertainment industry. It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that Chen Pingsheng finally finished his work for the day.
He also spent an hour cleaning, which seemed impossible without hiring a secretary who specialized in cleaning.
On the way back, he turned on the ride again.
I don’t know if it was luck or something, but I picked up Bai Xin again. The first thing this girl said when she got in the car was.
"Uncle, are you waiting for me on purpose?"
"What are you thinking about? I just happened to come home from get off work to pick up an order."
"Uncle, you got off work very early. Ah."
Bai Xin's face is still a little dirty. A young actress like her doesn't need a professional makeup artist.
When she got to the set, it would be nice to have someone to give her a few casual visits.
"If you don't get off work early, how can you enjoy life!" Chen Pingsheng laughed.
Bai Xin's phone rang, and someone sent a video.
"Sister Dancing."
"Bai Xin, you took a taxi home. There is a play playing a brothel girl tomorrow, shall we go together?"
" Brothel? Isn’t that a sex act?”
"What are you thinking about? The two of us are worthy enough to show off. Wearing a pair of bellybands and appearing on the stage, we were kicked out. Will you come in four hundred days?"
Bai Xin's eyes lit up, " Come on, save a seat for me."
The two agreed quickly. It was obvious that the other party was also a bit player, but the voice sounded a bit familiar.
Chen Pingsheng asked: "If you call Sister Wu, her surname is not Song, right?"
"How do you know?"
Bai Xin asked curiously: "Song Wu is my senior sister. I met her when we were playing small roles together. Uncle, don't you know her too?"
It's not just acquaintance, isn't this my sister-in-law?
After Song Yanxi bought her a BMW, she basically didn’t care about it anymore.
Song Wu used to be as proud as an old hen.
He didn't care about it after he entered the entertainment industry. Now that he has opened Tengying Entertainment, she doesn't even know the news.
"Let's just say we know each other."
"What do you mean, uncle, do you have a lot of connections?"
"Haha, I used to work as a sidekick, and I know a few extras. It’s not normal.”
“Have you ever been a part-timer?”
Bai Xin immediately became interested and leaned over to ask him.
These girls in the entertainment industry are really young, and their beauty is only a little less beautiful than his wife.
Chen Pingsheng told her some things from the past, when Zhao Liying was just a sidekick.
Just very dedicated.
There are two recognized inspirational idols in the entertainment industry, one is Baoqiang.
This is really grassroots.
Another one is the current Liying, she is not really famous yet.
However, he has also become the idol of many supporting actors.
Bai Xin also lives in Shijingshan. When she got off the bus, she asked: "Uncle, are you going to the Second Ring Road tomorrow?"
"Yes."
< br>"Then let's add WeChat and contact you when I go."
"Okay!"
It's an hour's journey, so it would be nice to pick up a young girl.
Chen Pingsheng exchanged WeChat messages with her, and his WeChat name has not been changed for a long time.
Please work hard for the rest of your life. The avatar is a family of three.
Happy and warm.
"Uncle, so you are married?"
"Why, do you still have ideas if you don't get married?"
"Bah, I will be a big star in the future. Uncle, you are so kind. Okay."
"Tch..." Chen Pingsheng left with a chuckle, and Bai Xin also left with a groan. The little girl was still quite optimistic.
