Chapter 28 Demon Zhonglou and the male protagonist of the new drama [Please follow up]
The ratings of "The Best of Us" are increasing day by day.
By the time it was aired in the middle and late stages, the regional average ratings had successfully exceeded 6, with a market share of over 35%, ranking first in the province in ratings for the same period.
Magic City TV has confirmed that "The Best of Us" will be on the air. Unfortunately, it coincides with the beginning of the new year, so it has to give way to the new year drama. The official broadcast is expected to be in late January.
But then again, the broadcast time is scheduled to coincide with the winter vacation.
For "The Best of Us", which has a large audience of students, this is not a bad thing.
However, I just don’t know if it can be ranked in the prime time slot. After all, the competition during the winter vacation is fierce, and Shanghai TV may not necessarily let the small-budget drama "The Best of Us" take the lead.
If you arrange it during the day or during the sub-prime time after 10pm, the effect will definitely be worse.
However, this did not cause Wei Yang too much anxiety. As long as he went to the stars, everything else was just a cloud.
Wei Yang was in a good mood. As the drama became popular, he became famous as well. Even when he went downstairs to eat, the landlady and customers recognized him.
My script has a bright future!
Wei Yang smiled at the two girls, declined their spoiler inquiries, drank the last two mouthfuls of porridge, and happily strolled to Tangren Film and Television Company.
Now that Hu Ge has officially come back and is in good condition, Blue Whale, who is preparing to increase investment in the second film, naturally sets his sights on this most popular youngster in Shanghai.
Although he deliberately stretched himself in private, when meeting Cai Yinong in person, Wei Yang still kept his attitude low and apologized repeatedly.
Cai Yinong congratulated him, but he understood why Wei Yang suddenly mentioned this. He was showing off his strength.
"Hey, I can't say this, but you are not an outsider. "The Best of Us" has been confirmed to be released on the stars. The benefits for all parties are considerable. Mr. Xia and Mr. Zheng are very satisfied and asked me to make a sequel.
's book."
Speaking of this, Cai Yinong, who has always been unfazed by Wei Yang, once again made a big deal: "Unless you are willing to sign a contract with Tang Dynasty, then not only this drama, but I will also promise to create a drama tailor-made for you."
Hu Ge was targeted during the preparation stage of "The Best of Us", but at that time he was recovering from a car accident and had no schedule.
"Jingtian has already cast Hu Ge, and Xu Changqing has to cast an actor from Taiwan Province."
"I want to play the male lead."
This is to give yourself a sweet treat!
Wei Yang did not show any overly surprised expression, but instead asked: "What about Jingtian and Xu Changqing?"
Wei Yang saw Cai Yinong, who was stunned, and followed his lead: "You must also know the popularity of Yu Huai and Lu Xinghe. They are particularly good at attracting fans. Hu Ge has always acted in ancient costumes. Let's break through his image in a campus youth drama. It will give him a good impression."
There are definitely benefits to a career.”
Cai Yinong laughed in anger, but Wei Yang didn't care and continued to talk: "Think about it, I got a male lead, Hu Ge also got a male lead, and the sequel of "The Best of Us" is also very popular.
You will never suffer a loss."
I have another sponsor, so I can’t only cooperate with Tang people!
Now that things have happened, Tsai Yinong no longer needs to hide it. The first male and second male actors must have a Taiwanese actor, and the rest has been decided by Hu Ge.
Wei Yang was confused and postponed it twice with excuses. It wasn't until "The Best of Us" topped the provincial ranking and was confirmed to be a star that he Shi Shiran came to Tangren.
Cai Yinong's original dissatisfaction was relieved by Wei Yang's apology, and she was keenly aware of the message in his words.
But if it was Mo Zunzunlou, he felt that he could fight for his own interests on the other hand.
"Lu Xinghe!"
But if Hu Ge can "fight" for a male protagonist of the same type, it would be nice to give Wei Yang some sweetness.
Cai Yinong's eyes suddenly became sharp. Wei Yang looked at her without fear. For a moment, Cai Yinong took the initiative to calm down his eyes.
"Hello, it's me."
"Congratulations then."
"impossible!"
If Wei Yang was not moved by this small favor, he made his request very clear.
After taking down Jingtian and Xu Changqing, he can still make concessions.
"What if I can make Hu Ge become the male protagonist of the sequel to "The Best of Us"."
"Then I won't sell it."
Cai Yinong was a little tempted, but he was not led around: "The new script can also be played by Hu Ge."
After all, "The Best of Us" ranks first in the province's ratings and is currently one of the most popular TV series in the Magic City. Wei Yang's face is no stranger to many people.
If Hu Ge hadn't been the first brother, I'd probably have to carry the sedan chair for a Taiwanese actor.
"Don't worry, I have some cooperation with Tang Ren. Mr. Cai still wants to give me some face. He didn't say anything to death. He plans to think about it..."
Even for Wei Yang, who already has works that are expected to become stars, this price is not low. It is obvious that Cai Yinong is deliberately trying to win people's hearts.
Cai Yinong complained in her heart, but she was really thinking about Wei Yang's words. She had always wanted to leave the male lead in the new script to Hu Ge.
"It's impossible for Tang Dynasty to give up the leading actor of a project that he spent money on to someone else..."
"Leave this matter to me. Hey, what about public relations fees? My family won't talk about this. Okay, just wait for my news..."
"I may not have suffered a loss, but you must have taken advantage of it."
The three male demons respect Lou, which is the greatest sincerity she can give to Wei Yang.
In fact, sometimes I think about it, it’s not bad not to sign this guy, it’s too difficult to decide, and if she signs him in, she’s afraid that one day Wei Yang will lead the Tang artists to rebel...
Maybe they don't know Wei Yang's name, but they will definitely shout out in surprise.
"Scoundrel!"
Cai Yinong: "..."
Under such circumstances, Cai Yinong did not have many cards to play, but this did not satisfy Wei Yang.
Therefore, Wei Yang did not choose to directly talk to Cai Yinong about the role of Mo Zunzunlou, but instead talked about the script that he had been talking about before.
Wei Yang smiled harmlessly: "To tell you the truth, Blue Whale is actually also interested in this book, but the funds are not available. If it doesn't work, I can wait."
In fact, it was not beyond Wei Yang's expectation. As he got to know the Tang people better during this period, he became more aware of the current pursuit of Taiwanese actors within the Tang people.
…
Cai Yinong readily agreed to win the new script at a price of 5,000 per episode, which was nearly five times higher than the original price.
Cai Yinong had some concerns in his mind, but he did not let go immediately. Instead, he said that he would discuss it with other senior officials. Wei Yang also knew not to push too hard.
"Mr. Xia, the blue whale, has something to do with you."
From beginning to end, although Wei Yang was keen to participate in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", a future hit drama, he was even more passionate about his own script.
After all, this guy's talent as a screenwriter is very outstanding. There may be opportunities for cooperation between Tang Ren and others in the future, so we need to build a good relationship.
Cai Yinong, who always pays attention to "The Best of Us", contacted Wei Yang as early as when the show first became popular.
So, he did not continue to pester, and instead picked up what he had just left behind.
"Any clues?"
""Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" will be launched next year. The role of Mo Zunzhenglou is still available. Are you interested?"
About two hours later, Wei Yang came out of Tangren's office and called Xia Cong in the car.
"My words still carry some weight over the Blue Whale."
After thinking about the results of "The Best of Us" and the reputation she saw online, Cai Yinong had the answer.
"Hey, Mr. Xia, I just finished chatting with Mr. Cai from Tangren. Hu Ge's schedule is a bit tight..."
"Well, the outline of the script is almost the same as the previous episodes. Mr. Xia is quite satisfied and has already made preparations."
"By the way, you just said that you wanted me to play the role of Demon Zunzunlou. I'm very interested. When will we sign the contract?"
"Mr. Cai, I'm really sorry for the first two times. These days there are interviews again, and Mr. Xia from Blue Whale has something to do with me again. I really can't get away."
As a screenwriter, Wei Yang had a good relationship with the Tang people, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to come over to help.
Use the two scripts as leverage to leverage the two companies and give Hu Ge the drama Blue Whale cannot produce on its own, and then use this as a condition to win the male lead in the new drama produced by Tang Dynasty.
Some people may say that this is called a white wolf with two hands, but Wei Yang prefers to call it resource allocation and win-win cooperation.
Well, the Tang Dynasty and the Blue Whale each won once, and he won twice...
