Chapter 62 Making money is a pain in the ass
There are three types of bad actors. One is to train them and watch them. At least they have a good attitude and the crew like them. The other is to have a high opinion of themselves and bring me a kind of mentality to you.
Qiao Mei is the third type, with poor acting skills, but good vision...
The works she starred in either have a good reputation or are supported by a great director.
Excellent drama selection ability!
Otherwise, I would not volunteer to star in "Rose Red Lotus"...
Her status is obviously beyond the entire crew.
Although Xu Zheng is a new director, he doesn't buy her account. In the days when the filming started, the two often made the crew tense, thanks to Chen Mengxi's mediation...
Work hard and labor!
To be honest, Chen Mengxi doesn't really want to do such things either.
All reborn, still have to serve others?
There is no question of serving others, just that Qiao Mei is not very willing to be obedient. If you ask her to add more emotions, she still has the same expression, and she is very striking, "My understanding of the character, Balabara"...
You are awesome!
Chen Mengxi simply let her play. If she really can't do it, she will do more non-close-up shots in the later stage...
In fact, it is easy to solve.
When Xijie Media asked Chen Mengxi for his opinion, he asked who he wanted to hire as a director. If he said that he would find Jin Zhiyun, there would be so many troubles!
Kim Chi-yun, a banner of Korean horror and thriller films, is internationally renowned. Well, it should be said to be famous in Asia. In the early years, the movie "Three Updates" was found in South Korea, Thailand and Hong Kong, three directors who are good at horror films. The representative of South Korea is Kim Chi-yun...
In recent years, Kim Chi-yun has worked with top Korean actors such as Lee Byung-hun, Song Kang-ho, and Choi Min-sik.
And he is also the original director of "Rose Red Lotus"...
If he really comes to direct, will Qiao Mei dare to play a big shot with him?
Wait for boycott by the Korean film industry!
The problem is that if you look for him, there will be nothing wrong with Chen Mengxi!
The most Baidu information is one more line - the screenwriter of "Rose Red Lotus"...
He also supervised a yarn!
If you want capital to know that you are capable, you cannot find a more capable concise you.
So, this is all we can do!
...
After the day of shooting, Chen Mengxi and Xu Zheng took a bus back to the hotel.
On the way, they were talking about horror movie routines:
"Compared with male evil ghosts, female ghosts are even more scary!"
"Also, in daily life, compared to men, women's stereotypes are weak, docile, and lack of aggressiveness. However, once they become evil spirits, the anti-expected violations will have a more severe impact on our nerves! What the horror thriller type wants is to break the audience's expectations. Tension and anti-expected violations. Once these two key points are mastered, your movie will be successful!"
"So, the horror type is mostly the image of a female ghost or the image of a child. This is the case with "The Curse" and "Sadako"!"
"Then Hollywood movies..."
"Hollywood uses another kind. They don't believe in ghosts and other things. This is related to their religious beliefs, but they will wear masks on the murderer, which will cause people to be oppressed and nervous. However, in recent years, the American version of "Midnight Bell", "Grudge" and "Ghost Water Talk" have also been sold well in the United States!"
When we talk about ghosts, we usually think that they are evil ghosts and evil ghosts, but when the West mentions ghosts, it is more translated as ghosts...
Although both are supernatural civilizations, ghosts just feel a little kinder than ghosts!
After a pause, Chen Mengxidao said, "What I can't stand the most is not these."
"What is that?"
"Dolls and clowns... I was scared when I saw these two things..."
"Haha, are you afraid of these two things?"
"What's there, everyone has something that they can't accept..."
We chatted all the way, arrived at the hotel, and then went back to our rooms.
In the past half month of contact, Chen Mengxi felt that Xu Zheng was not bad. In addition to his stubborn personality, he still had talent and ability.
Most importantly, very obedient!
He is a good tool guy and should work together in the future.
This trip to Korea is still very valuable. "The Temptation of Wife" was sold successfully and formed a good relationship with Xijie Entertainment. They also bought the Korean distribution rights of "Painted Skin" for US$2 million...
I also met a good tool guy.
In a word, SBS bought "The Temptation of Wife", and the offer was not high. It was 16 million won per episode, which was equivalent to nearly 120,000 yuan...
Based on this price, the Chen Mengxi screenwriter team didn’t make much money this time…
The account is not calculated like this. SBS bought a 100-episode script. Once the effect is good after it is broadcast, the number of episodes will definitely be added in the future, so the price will be different. In addition, Chen Mengxi himself wants to use the influence of South Korea to raise the price of "The Temptation of Going Home"...
Moreover, 13 million won per episode is considered a very good price in the field of Korean screenwriters!
Korean screenwriters, especially TV drama writers, have great power - the three major Korean TV stations all adopt the screenwriter-centered system!
But their value is just that. Novice screenwriters generally only have 10,000 to 100,000 yuan per episode. Of course, the top ones are also 500,000 yuan per episode...
The screenwriter of "Dae Jang Geum" Kim Young-hyun received 600,000 yuan per episode, which is the highest screenwriter fee recorded in recent years!
The reason why Chen Mengxi can give 120,000 episodes is because he has the basis of "Rose Red Lotus".
Therefore, making money is never an easy thing, even a reborn person.
...
Someone knocked on the door, and Chen Mengxi came to open the door. It was Chen Liming!
"…Fatty, why haven't you returned to China yet?"
He entered the room and sat on the sofa: "I'll go back tomorrow!"
"Don't be happy about Shu, the mainland is our base!"
"…I know, but the young lady here has too long legs!"
"It looks the same!"
"You care if she has plastic surgery or not, just look good!"
Chen Mengxi complained: "Your heart is so big..."
Then he thought: "No, where is Sister Nan? You have handed over all this public grain. Sister Nan must not scold you to death?"
Chen Liming sighed: "She is very busy now. I originally meant to find an acting training teacher for Zhang Hanyun... Teacher Feng Yuanzheng, do you know?"
"I know, what's wrong?"
"Teacher Feng learned the Grotovsky school of performance, which is different from the performances Nan Nan learned... It was originally for Zhang Hanyun to learn, but she started learning, and she was busy preparing lessons and writing things every day, and she had no time to pay attention to me!"
“…”
Chen Liming changed the topic: "By the way, why did I hear that Yang Mi, who was Rong Xingda, auditioned for the role of the monster catcher?"
"No?"
"It's not impossible. We are incompatible with Rongxingda?"
Chen Mengxi: "Who told you that the power is incompatible? They are all in Beijing, and they are all employed in the entertainment industry. They look down and see each other without looking up. Do you think that good and evil are incompatible?"
Chen Liming is a little embarrassed...
"…And Yang Mi is quite good. Her appearance is very consistent with the taste of the Japanese people. "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was exported to Japanese people. The cover of the pictorial was that she rode a red horse, and "Painted Skin" had to be released by Japanese people..."
Chen Mengxi poured him a glass of ice water and asked, "Why do you have this expression?"
"No...nothing..."
