Ever since the news came out that Li Hyuk was interested in taking on a TV series project, countless scripts came to his door immediately. Li Hyuk has read it. Unfortunately, most of them are so-called sweet pet dramas of youth idols. There is one "A Smiling Smile Is Allure"
He even offered a salary of 120 million yuan, trying to invite Li Hyuk to star with a high salary.
It’s a joke, for a popular actor, it’s too cheap to star in a youth idol drama. Without thinking much, Li He asked Qian Duoduo to reject the offer.
The producers of "A Smile Is Beautiful" immediately received the news of Li Hyuk's rejection and immediately launched a backup plan to invite Yang Yang to play the male lead.
"Director, Yang Yang also refused..." The assistant hung up the phone.
"What? Why?" The director looked confused.
"Well, he said he was going to audition for "Want to Meet You", but he probably didn't have the time to star in our drama," the assistant said.
The editor-in-chief looked helpless and said: "Then let's activate Plan No. 3 and invite Zhang Han to star."
After a while, the assistant hung up the phone again and said: "Director, Zhang Han is not available either. He also has to audition for "Want to Meet You"."
"Are everyone crazy? Is a movie adaptation project worth so many people competing for?" The director was furious, but calmed down after a moment and said: "There is no way, let's activate Plan No. 4 and No. 5..."
"Want to See You" is indeed a popular project in the city. It is adapted from the movie version and is produced by Li Hyuk and Da Mi Mi. It has the potential to be a hit drama.
As soon as the news came out, Huali Film and Television not only gathered agents, but also advertisers. The production cost of the movie version was only 90 million, but the production cost of the TV series Huali Film and Television was 250 million, Liu Shishi's salary
As high as 80 million, it can be seen that TV drama actors do earn more than movie actors who simply get paid.
Although the production cost of TV dramas is high, actors’ remuneration accounts for the majority. There is no way, the current market situation is like this, actors’ salaries are very high. Fortunately, the project has not even started yet, and the advertising revenue alone has recovered most of the investment in the TV series.
.
However, this project has little to do with Li Hyuk. He has two films released this year, "The Martian" and "The Secret of the Dragon" both at the end of the year, so he did not receive any good projects during this period. Most of Li Hyuk
Time is spent attending various business events.
In addition, after several months of preparations, Li He opened a restaurant by himself. It was not the restaurant he had invested in before. This restaurant purely satisfied his own food fantasies. He wore a chef's hat and cooked in the kitchen and felt like a top chef.
.
Of course, because they don’t rely on their own fame to make money, the prices at Li Hyuk’s restaurant, which is named after his daughter, are very reasonable. It’s not as outrageous as some other celebrity restaurants with sideline businesses. A bowl of noodles can even cost 300 yuan.
many.
However, this pricing strategy has been unanimously praised by diners. It tastes delicious and is reasonably priced, making Lemon Snack Shop always crowded even on weekdays. In addition, Li He appears in Lemon Snack Shop from time to time to cook the dishes himself, making this restaurant located in Beijing's fifth
Kesong's snack shop instantly became a famous internet celebrity check-in spot in Beijing.
Especially Li Hyuk’s fans, some of them even fly thousands of miles away just to have a bowl of rice noodles from Lemon Snack Shop. If you are lucky, you might even be able to see Li Hyuk cooking in person and eat the food cooked by Li Hyuk.
What does the food taste like when it comes out?
Many netizens strongly requested to open branches in other places, but Li He only wanted to satisfy his dream of being a chef and had no idea of opening a branch.
Just like he has always liked painting, but he has no idea of opening a gallery. Because of his fame, Li He's paintings have actually increased in value. At a recent charity auction, a painting donated by Li He was sold by two people.
The competition among rich women has caused the price to soar from 50,000 yuan to 800,000 yuan. If these professional painters knew about this, they would probably not be in a good mood.
However, there was a big power participating in the auction. Since she was present, of course she would not let others take the painting away, so she generously paid two million and took it home.
When Li He saw that the painting was back, he couldn't help but ask Da Mi Mi: "Didn't my painting be auctioned?"
"Yes, I took pictures again." Da Mi Mi admired the paintings, looked at the paintings that Li He gave to him every year on his birthday, and wondered where to hang these words.
Li He raised his eyebrows and said, "If you want to paint, I can just paint another one for you. Why do you need to pay so much for painting?"
"You don't understand. It's okay if I'm not here, but if I don't bring the words back here, what will others think?" Da Mi Mi said.
"Well, how much did it cost you?"
"Two million..."
"It's so high. I'm afraid the paintings of those big painters are not as high as mine. This is too exaggerated." Li He said in surprise.
Da Mi Mi shook his head and said: "My husband's paintings are priceless treasures in my eyes. No matter how high the price is, it doesn't matter."
Li He shook his head and said nothing. He sat on the sofa and read the script he had just received. After hanging up the paintings, he sat next to Li He, rested his head on Li He's shoulder and said, "Your birthday is coming soon.
What are the arrangements?"
"I don't know, I'm still waiting for you to surprise me." Li He said.
"Why don't we go on a trip? I've always wanted to go to Italy and there happened to be no paparazzi there yet." Da Mi Mi suggested.
Li He nodded, looked at the script intently and said, "Okay, I'll just follow your arrangements..."
"Oh, did you listen to me carefully?" Da Mi Mi grabbed the script and read it: "In the name of the people? Is it a new drama?"
"Yes, it's a pretty good script. The producer wanted to invite me to play the male lead, but the role of the male lead is a bit too majestic and upright. I don't like it very much. I want to challenge other roles." Li Hyuk said.
Da Mi Mi took a brief look at the script and said: "But according to the setting, the only role suitable for you is the male lead, and you can't play the others. After all, the age gap is there and it cannot be made up for by your acting skills."
"I know this, that's why I hesitated to accept this drama." Li Hyuk said.
In fact, what he most wants to play is the villain Qi Tongwei, and Li Dakang. The complexity and multi-faceted nature of these two characters seem to remind him of himself who was involved in officialdom in his previous life. They are completely true to themselves and must be very touching.
But as Da Mi Mi said, age is a problem, this body is too young.
"I definitely have to take it. After all, with the support of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the quality of the film must be good. As for what role to play, you can still communicate with the producer!" Da Mi Mi suggested.
Li He nodded and said: "Then let's make contact first. They are also making preparations. Don't worry."
Da Mi Mi tilted his head and thought for a while: "If there is no suitable one, you can also write another TV series."
"Do you think script writing is that easy, and it's an original script?" Li He scolded with a smile.
But something moved in his mind. Indeed, if there is no good drama, just create a good drama by yourself. Anyway, people from Blue Star can't come to Earth to sue him for copyright infringement. After a while, Li He had a general idea in his mind.
Da Mi Mi continued: "And now online novels can also be adapted into TV series. Last time you saw that novel called "Guanju Yipin", I think it can also be made into a TV series."
"It's hard to say. After all, it's a time-travel novel. Whether the audience will buy it or not will be a matter of time." Li Hyuk is very doubtful about the prospect of adapting this drama into a TV series.
"Just because of your face, the audience is buying it. Moreover, we are filming a serious drama. We need to find a few capable actors to star in it. For example, we can just invite the starring cast of "The Ming Dynasty 1566". It will be absolutely wonderful.
"Da Mi Mi is proud of his own idea.
"I can't tell, but you still have ideas." Li He looked at Da Mi Mi with admiration. He had never trusted Da Mi Mi with his eye for drama, and he didn't expect that he could say something insightful.
It seems that people will always grow and progress, but some people are fast, some are slow, and some need to be pushed forward by others.
