In fact, Gu Long's copyright for "The Two Proud Ones" was originally part of Jiang Yan's plan. He originally wanted to acquire "The Two Proud Ones" first and keep it, and then if he had time, he would film it according to Jimmy Lin's version. After all, this is
This version is still more classic than "Little Fish and Flowers".
However, he acted too late after all, so he could only be taken away first.
The one who took the lead was a familiar person: Cai Yinong, Chairman of Tangren.
Tangren Film and Television had just been established in 1998, and Cai Yinong was only 25 years old. "The Two Prides" was her first film.
However, due to her strength, she was unable to complete a large-scale production alone, so she brought director Li Guoli and a company from Wanwan to co-produce it. The two parties shared the copyright, which was a deep binding.
At the same time, considering the issues of funding and market, we approached Jingcheng Jin Yingma Film and Television to cooperate.
Jin Yingma Film and Television in Beijing is not a well-known company, but the TV series it later produced are quite famous, such as Chen Daomin's "Black Hole" and Zhao Wenzhuo's version of "The Wind and Cloud".
In the original time and space, these three companies produced it together, and finally found Zhejiang ATV to distribute it. Zhejiang ATV is Lantai.
As a result, this time and space is still like this, so this project naturally came to Jiang Yan.
So when people come to your door, you have to find a way to invest.
Just like the previous TV series, it is best to invest money to gain progress, and this series will not lose money.
However, after the others arrived, Jiang Yan found that the film crew seemed a little confused about the situation.
...
"The Greatest Love" has two protagonists. Since there are investors from the Mainland and Wanwan, the needs of both parties must be taken into consideration when casting, so Xiaoyuer cast Jimmy Lin from Wanwan. This is Wanwan's film direction.
No one had any objections to the request.
As a result, Hua Wuque would have to choose mainland stars as her first choice.
This is also the idea of Kyung Seong Kim Young Ma and Chae Ye Nong.
However, Wanwan wants to promote Su Youpeng. After all, Su Youpeng is very popular now because of his role as the fifth elder brother in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".
Moreover, Su Youpen was also a member of the Little Tigers before, so his fan base is quite large.
In addition, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are naturally superior to others in the mainland in this era. To be honest, with such competitiveness, there is really no youngster in the mainland who can surpass him.
Mr. Teng, the Jin Yingma boss in Beijing, was not happy when he heard this.
We in the Mainland still have Jiang Yan. In terms of fan base, Jiang Yan was already regarded as the default king before he went to the Spring Festival Gala. After attending the Spring Festival Gala, his national popularity reached its peak again, and he is definitely No. 1 in the Mainland.
In addition, Jiang Yan himself should be a movie star in a strict sense, which is a level above TV dramas.
The most important thing is that he is handsome!
No matter how handsome Su Youpen is, can he be more handsome than Jiang Yan?
Moreover, Jiang Yan's acting skills are very good. If you don't say anything else, just say that he is Chen Daomin's apprentice. How can his acting skills be so bad?
Therefore, Jin Yingma in the capital highly praised Jiang Yan.
The same goes for Cai Yinong. She was also very optimistic about Jiang Yan and originally wanted to sign him, but after getting some information from acquaintances, she gave up the idea.
But even if you don't sign it, just from a market perspective, it's definitely better to go to Jiang Yan than Su Youpen. After all, this is her pioneering work. How can it be stable?
But Wanwan's attitude is very firm.
People have good reasons. They say Jiang Yan is great, but he has to consider the Wanwan market. Jiang Yan sings very well, but there is no data in Wanwan.
In addition, in terms of acting, Jiang Yan is well-known in the film industry, but that is just a screenwriter. The only other movies he has actually starred in are a young version of Chen Yongren, a small role, and the others are also soy sauce in mainland TV dramas.
In terms of group acting, can it compare with Su Youpen?
Su Youpen is the fifth elder brother in "Returning the Pearl"!
When Mr. Teng of Jin Yingma heard this, he also had a bad temper and said directly, let’s not say whether you meant to belittle or not. If you act like this, this drama will be all about Wanwan stars. Are you sorry?
This is also true. Although "The Two Prouds" in the original time and space was jointly invested by the Mainland and Wanwan, except for a few Hong Kong stars, the other important roles in the show were all from Wanwan, so the audience thought that this movie was
Chunwanwan's film.
And why did Mr. Teng from Jin Yingma have the confidence to argue with reason?
On the one hand, Jiang Yan himself is extremely popular, which is an absolute fact.
On the other hand, if "The Two Prodigies" is to be produced in the mainland, Han Sanpin cannot be avoided. What is the relationship between Jiang Yan and this person? How can Jin Ying and Ma Teng, who is a small but well-informed company, not consider it?
So you know.
So after several discussions, Wanwan finally relented.
He said we could have a chat.
So a few people came to Jiang Yan's set in Hengdian.
The two parties met at Warehouse No. 1. After a brief introduction, Jiang Yan’s attention had not returned to Cai Yinong. The representative of Wanwan’s film studio asked directly:
"Mr. Jiang, we would like to ask you to play the role of Jiang Yulang."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jin Yingma's boss Teng and Cai Yinong immediately changed their expressions.
They both looked at Wanwan Pianfang, the doubts and annoyance in their eyes clearly visible.
We agreed to find Jiang Yan to play the lead role of Hua Wuque. What the hell are you doing with Jiang Yulang as a supporting actor?
But before they could say anything, Jiang Yan asked:
"Didn't you say Hua Wuque? Why did you become Jiang Yulang again?"
The Wanwan representative replied: "We got to know you on the way here. We know that you don't have high requirements for roles and are willing to challenge any role, so we think you must be interested in the role of Jiang Yulang."
It's really challenging.
Jiang·Tenri·Yulang, that sentence "I have been here for ten days in a row without taking a break. I am really tired."
Jiang Yan felt excited just thinking about it.
So...how can I pick it up?
Even if I agree to it myself, fans won’t agree, and readers won’t agree either!
So Jiang Yan smiled and waved his hands and said: "Putting aside the roles for now, let's talk about investment first. Can I invest and how much can I invest?"
The Wanwan representative adjusted his glasses and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, our investment amount is now full."
"Don't accept investment? 10% is fine."
"Sorry, it's really full."
"Forget it." Jiang Yan suddenly lost interest.
All he cares about is the amount of investment. Only with the amount of investment can the script be considered his own. Otherwise, everything he plays will only be 0.01%, and it will be meaningless.
Hearing Jiang Yan's refusal, Cai Yinong on the side interjected: "Mr. Jiang, would you consider it if it were Hua Wuque?"
Jiang Yan replied seriously: "I'm very optimistic about this project, so if you can let me invest, I'll be willing to do it even if it's just an extra."
Cai Yinong was very happy when she heard this, but before she could say anything, the representative of Nawanwan refused: "Sorry, we already have a candidate for Hua Wuque."
With that said, he looked at Jiang Yan and said, "Please think again. The role of Jiang Yulang is really suitable for you. We can give you a salary of 20,000 per episode."
It's okay if this guy didn't say this. When he said 20,000, Jiang Yan laughed directly.
According to his current market price, he cannot submit any project with a quotation of less than 50,000 yuan.
Zhang Guoli's "Kangxi 2" only had a guest appearance in one episode, and everyone quoted him 60,000 yuan, and "Married the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair" also offered 80,000 yuan per episode.
Therefore, the quotation made by the representative of Wanwan is either because he does not know Jiang Yan's current situation at all, or it is intentional.
If it's the former, it can be interpreted as being unprofessional. If it's the latter, it's a big problem. After all, it involves discrimination.
