The closing banquet of "Heartbeat" was over, and Lin Qingyuan took a flight back to the imperial capital the next day.
However, he did not come back for a vacation, but to prepare for the next work.
Yan Jun came to the door with a lot of documents and wanted to discuss specific details with Lin Qingyuan face to face.
The TV series "Unnatural Death" starring Satomi Ishihara was playing in the living room, and Yan Jun on the sofa took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase.
"The company-produced drama you asked for is here."
Lin Qingyuan first saw a script with "Honey Stewed Squid" written on the cover.
He couldn't help but look up at Yan Jun: "Didn't you say that the male lead of this drama has been decided?"
Lin Qingyuan still remembers how the company declined him before: You are too young to play the role of a mature man in his thirties. Standing next to Yang Zi in the same frame will be very awkward. Waiting for the TV series
After it is broadcast, it is easy for opponents to take this opportunity to get angry.
Well, what Lin Qingyuan said about taking advantage of others does make sense, but it’s hard enough for him to be unable to act in a popular drama because of his age...
"Originally, it was almost settled, but the male actor wanted to act in a drama more, so the company made some changes to the script, adjusted the male lead's age by a few years and re-sent it to you," Yan Jun explained.
: "Or you can play the second male lead who is more suitable for your age, and the company will go to the market to find an older actor to play the male lead."
"However, if this male lead is played this time, it is said that the company will arrange resources for a male-led drama as compensation in the future. The adapted IP is from the same series, but the male and female protagonists of the story have changed."
Lin Qingyuan knew that Yan Jun was referring to the second part of "Dear Beloved", "Dear Beloved".
There's not much to say about this drama, it's completely muddled...
Naturally, Lin Qingyuan would not fall for Cehua's buy-one-get-one-free offer and be fooled by them twice in a row...
"Huh? There is a male lead who doesn't want to play the lead role but plays the second male lead. The company wants me to be a supporting actor in an idol drama? Do you think I'm stupid?" Lin Qingyuan was speechless. He didn't want to get the same thing as Hu Yitian from the original time and space.
treatment.
Cehua can also use male artists from his own company to praise male artists from other companies.
"Actually, I don't want you to play the second male lead. It would delay development and reduce the price too much. However, because it is required by the company, the process still has to go through." Yan Jun continued: "So you still want to play the role.
The male protagonist after the revised script, right?"
"The script hasn't been significantly changed..." Lin Qingyuan was worried that the script would be ruined because of the changes he made, so the gain would outweigh the loss.
"Just adjust the male protagonist's age by three years."
Lin Qingyuan pretended to flip through the script, then raised his head and said, "That's good, let's take it."
"Honey Braised Squid" won!
Then, he saw another script.
"A Senior Girl's First Love".
Yan Jun opened his mouth to explain: "This is an S-level project within the company. The male and female protagonists have not yet been decided. It is tentatively scheduled to start filming in the second half of this year. The shooting period will be two and a half months. It is scheduled to produce 40 episodes, and then they will start filming for you."
The salary per episode is 800,000 yuan after tax."
This is actually much higher than Lin Qingyuan's current TV series market price of 500,000 per episode.
"It adds up to more than 30 million..." Lin Qingyuan couldn't help but sigh at how much money actors in domestic entertainment make now.
However, he also knew that the offer of nearly 30 million was actually exaggerated because it was an internally produced drama produced by the company, so Cehua was willing to pay his own artists higher than the market price.
After all, no matter how high the salary is, our own artists are still cheaper than male artists from other companies. It’s not just that the salary is low, but that our own artists take a cut of the commission when they take on self-produced dramas, so the salary is equivalent to being much cheaper.
"The company also wants you to take on more self-produced dramas, because in this way, when you develop, they can reduce a lot of costs spent on actors' remuneration."
"I'd better read the script first."
To put it simply, it is a love story between a single woman in her early thirties and a company intern.
A combination of an older girl and a younger boy may be able to get a good response in the market, but of course the premise is that the director must film the TV series well and the actors must play the roles well.
"The company thinks that your age and image and temperament are very suitable for the male lead of this drama, so it has sent you an invitation to be the male lead without an audition. The company also told me thoroughly that they have already decided on the candidate for the female lead.
I have a preliminary intention.”
"Who?" Lin Qingyuan was curious whether the actor who played the heroine He Fanxing would be Song Qian from the original time and space.
"Yangmi."
"Yang Mi?" Lin Qingyuan was stunned because he heard a name that he had never thought of before.
He really didn't expect that the company would directly arrange for an in-house entertainment evergreen to play with him this time and help him raise his profile. This wave of resources was indeed very comfortable.
Moreover, the heroine in the play is 32 years old, and Yang Mi happens to be 32 years old this year, so she can really match her...
Lin Qingyuan is already looking forward to how much traffic this comprehensively upgraded TV series can bring to him.
"She was in contact with the film project "Assassination of Novelists" that the company is expected to launch at the end of this year. She needed this resource very much, so the company took the opportunity to include the drama as a bundled clause in the contract."
"So she really agreed?"
"The contract of intent has been signed."
Lin Qingyuan put down the script in his hand and leaned back on the sofa with a contented look on his face: "As long as the heroine is Yang Mi, then we should have nothing to hesitate about."
"Having said that, the quality of the script is also very important. The quality of a drama cannot be determined simply by salary and casting." Yan Jun is worried that Lin Qingyuan will go astray and accept scripts only based on the casting of co-stars.
"I know, otherwise I wouldn't have taken on "The Wandering Earth" which took more than three months to shoot and only paid 500,000 yuan."
"Okay, let's decide on the script for the second half of the year, and then it's your turn to arrange work for this week." Yan Jun took out another stack of documents from his briefcase.
"During this time before the year before, we mainly focused on magazine shooting and endorsement advertising work."
"We have obtained the covers of "Harper's Bazaar" and "Fashionable Men", and we are also contacting elle at the same time to help you obtain the cover resources of "ellemen". Of course, if you can also obtain the cover of "elle",
Then we will make a lot of money.”
The ten-issue Grand Slam is actually the top five women's magazines and the five top men's magazines combined. Of the four fashion magazines Yan Jun mentioned, the first three are all men's magazines, and only the last one, "elle", is a women's magazine, and
The content is higher than the three men's magazines above.
"Are they all single covers?" Lin Qingyuan wanted the cover resources he got to be more valuable.
"It's all men's magazines, but if Elle asks you to shoot a double cover, I think you can take it."
"Yes, I know." Lin Qingyuan nodded. If they could really get the cover of Elle as they wished, then together with the Harper's Bazaar in front of them, Lin Qingyuan would have collected five issues at once. This speed is also ridiculous.
...
However, this kind of thing becomes more difficult the further you go, especially the book "Vogue".
"Finally, you will be able to add a new endorsement brand of digital cameras in a while."
"which brand?"
"Nikon, their new d850 launched this year needs young and popular celebrities to endorse it."
"So they chose me?" Lin Qingyuan doesn't think his current traffic is comparable to those of the top streamers.
Yan Jun glanced at Lin Qingyuan and continued: "They also hired a spokesperson, Dilmurat Dilraba, this time."
Lin Qingyuan smiled awkwardly: "I'm just adding to the co-authorship! Her popularity is much higher than mine now..."
"You are just starting out now, and endorsement fees are very cheap, so they hired two spokespersons at once. Frankly speaking, this is more cost-effective than having Wang Lihong alone to endorse the product."
