On July 25, the modern urban romantic comedy "My Love from the Star" jointly produced by Chenfei Media, Beijing Satellite TV, Zhejiang East Satellite TV and other units held a launch ceremony at the Shangri-La Hotel in Beijing.
It is said to be a launch ceremony, but it is actually a meeting between the main creative staff and the media. Since "My Love from the Star" is extremely popular on the Internet, this meeting attracted hundreds of media from all over the country, large and small, and dispatched
The conference hall on the top floor of the Shangri-La Hotel was packed with reporters.
Witnessed by reporters from these media, Lu Xi, the general manager of Chenfei Media, announced that "My Love from the Star" was officially launched, and together with several important figures personally lifted the red cloth covering the camera.
In addition to Chen Fei Media's Lu Xi, Lu Chen, Chen Fei'er and others, there were also senior executives from two major TV stations, as well as director Fang Hui and more than a dozen actors attending the opening ceremony.
After the simple but solemn ceremony, Lu Chen, as the core character of this TV series, was immediately surrounded by reporters from all walks of life. He was almost drowned out by interview microphones with logos.
Lu Chen, who "missed" in the media some time ago, answered their questions patiently with a smile.
"Mr. Lu Chen, how long is the filming of "My Love from the Star" expected to take?"
The first question comes from a reporter from Entertainment Weekly.
Lu Chen replied without hesitation: "It is expected to be completed in two to three months. This TV series is different from the two previous ones I made. It involves a lot of special effects, so the investment is very high and the shooting cycle is also very long."
It will be longer."
The other party asked: "Then the domestic audience will not be able to see it until October?"
"No…"
Lu Chen smiled and shook his head and said: "If the filming goes well, the audience will watch the first episode of "My Love from the Star" around August 15th at the earliest. We will use the method of filming and broadcasting to broadcast to the country."
TV audiences welcome this new series!”
"My Love from the Star" is a weekly drama!
This is undoubtedly a big highlight, especially for the vast number of TV viewers. It is definitely good news.
Because they don't need to wait until the filming of "My Love from the Star" is completed, they can take a sneak peek!
Weekly dramas were first popular in European and American countries. The concept of "weekly dramas" is not just a definition of the broadcast cycle. From shooting, promotion to broadcast cycle, a series of processes are completely different from daily dramas.
It is easy for people to simply understand weekly dramas as TV dramas that are "broadcast on a weekly basis". In fact, this is not the case. "Broadcasting while filming" is the key feature of "weekly dramas".
Influenced by European and American dramas, domestic TV dramas have also launched "weekly dramas". However, many of the "weekly dramas" launched in the mainland have only learned "weekly drama" in terms of "broadcasting cycle", which is actually misleading.
Dog Meat was also aired after filming was completed, but the airing cycle was deliberately lengthened.
Making a real weekly drama requires more energy and effort on the part of the other party. During the broadcast, you must always pay attention to market trends and the opinions of the audience. The plot arrangement must cater to the needs of the audience, and every episode must avoid
The phenomenon of "watering" appears.
In fact, the viewing habits of domestic audiences are changing now. Weekly dramas have grown from scratch, and more and more people dare to try them. This will undoubtedly be the trend of Chinese dramas in the future.
But for now, filming weekly dramas requires not only strength, but more importantly, confidence and courage.
If someone else said they were filming a weekly drama, reporters might be skeptical, but they would definitely believe Lu Chen's words because Lu Chen's first TV series "Blue Life and Death" was a weekly drama.
At that time, he was ridiculed by many people in the industry because of this, and was considered to be ignorant of the heights of the world.
As a result, my face was swollen!
On the contrary, for the second "Full House", Lu Chen adopted the traditional shooting mode and broadcasted after filming.
Now that "My Love from the Star" is back on the air as a weekly drama, this news will undoubtedly cheer up his fans!
A reporter holding the microphone of "Tian Tian Kuai Bao" asked: "Mr. Lu Chen, can you tell us how much you were paid for starring in "Star You"?"
This question made all the reporters present prick up their ears.
As the most popular new artist in the domestic entertainment circle, Lu Chen's net worth has always been one of the hotly discussed topics among insiders.
Net worth represents celebrity status, but Lu Chen's situation is different from most people. He writes the songs he sings, edits the TV series and movies he shoots, and even invests himself.
The only things he can clearly price are the copyright of original songs and advertising endorsement fees. The former is 1 million per song, and the latter starts at 5 million.
As for commercial performances, Lu Chen basically doesn't do announcements or commercial performances now, and he hasn't even held a solo concert yet.
His salary is even more confusing. Although the two TV series and one movie are both big, his salary has not been announced to the public. Although many media have speculated, I am afraid only Lu Chen himself knows whether it is reliable or not.
I believe many people are interested in this.
Regarding this rather sensitive question, Lu Chen thought for a moment and answered: "I can tell you this frankly. Ms. Filia Chen and I both received 1 million for an episode of "Star You"."
1 million episodes!
The total number of episodes of "My Love from the Star" is 35. This has been announced on the official v. Everyone knows it.
Although the remuneration for the number of episodes is not equal to the total number of episodes, and there is another calculation method, according to the usual ratio, the remuneration received by Lu Chen and Filia Chen through "Star You" will be between 25 million and 30 million.
Between ten thousand!
The combined salary of the two people is almost half of the investment budget of this TV series!
It sounds amazing, but no one thinks it is too high, because considering the current fame of Lu Chen and Filia Chen, as well as the ratings of the first two TV series, such a salary is not high at all.
You know, the highest-paid actors in China are currently priced in the hundreds of millions for a TV series. Although there is a considerable amount of moisture, in fact it is undoubtedly more than two people.
But in terms of ratings, who dares to compare with "My Love from the Star" which has not yet been filmed?
This TV series must be popular, it's just a matter of how popular it is.
And Lu Chen also said: "50% of the remuneration of Miss Filia Chen and I will be converted into investment to ensure the quality!"
Actors using their remuneration to invest in shares is also a very popular method in the TV drama industry. However, it is not very popular with producers, but the producers of "My Love from the Star" obviously will not object -
