Chapter 793 'Prime Minister Liu Luoguo' and 'Enjoyment' (4100+ chapters~)
The next day, Wu Jianye received a call from Wen Miaoling. She agreed to go to Yanjing for development, but because there were still some things to finish in Shanghai, she had to go later.
"Okay, you can pack up here first. When you're done, just come to Yanjing!" Wu Jianye had no objection to this. After all, it was not easy to go through the resignation procedures at this time.
Wu Jianye did not stay in Shanghai for long. In the afternoon, he flew back to Yanjing with everyone.
After arriving in Yanjing, Wu Jianye rested at home for a day and then went back to work.
Li Baotian, Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, Deng Jie, Zhang Zi'en and Han Gang came to Tangting Culture.
At this time, they were in the conference room of Tangting Culture.
Zhang Guoli, Deng Jie and Wang Gang are contracted actors with Tangting Culture, while Zhang Zien and Han Gang are contracted directors with Tangting Culture. Only Li Baotian has nothing to do with Tangting Culture, but he has already negotiated with Wu Jianye and will star in the film.
TV series of Tang Ting Culture.
This time Wu Jianye called these six people to Tangting Culture, naturally for the classic "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo"!
In the previous life, everyone only knew that the actors in "Prime Minister Liu Luo Guo" were Li Baotian and others, but they didn't know that the director of this TV series was co-directed by Zhang Zi'en and Han Gang.
Zhang Zi'en was originally the director of Xi Film Studio, but with Wu Tianming's departure, Xi Film Studio was no longer what it used to be, so Wu Jianye asked Li Xiaowan to sign Zhang Zi'en to Tangting Culture.
Zhang Zi'en not only directed "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", but also directed the later classic "Wrong Sedan and Marry the Right Man", and Zhao Wei's version of "Beijing Smoke and Clouds" was also directed by him.
As for Han Gang, although he is not as famous as Zhang Zi'en, he has also directed many TV series.
He had just finished cooperating with Li Baotian on the film "Mr. Ge", which has been shortlisted for the best film of the first Spring City Film Festival created this year.
"Han Gang, Baotian, before I have time to congratulate you, you have been shortlisted for the Spring City Film Festival for the first time together!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Han Gang and Li Baotian smiled, and Han Gang said with a smile: "Director Wu, we listened to what others said. If you say that, you are insulting us!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "How could it be that you are so humble? I sincerely congratulate you!"
Wang Gang is not an unknown person at this time. He has already hosted three CCTV Spring Festival Galas in 1986, 1987, and 1988. At the same time, last year's host of "Harbin under the Night" was selected as the "National Audience Favorite Show" by the China Radio and Television Society.
artist'.
Now Wang Gang is in a relationship with his second wife Cheng Fangyuan.
It's Cheng Fangyuan who sings.
"Everyone has already read the script of the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", so I'm going to trouble you this time!" Wu Jianye said to everyone with a smile.
Before Wu Jianye left Yanjing, he had asked Li Na to send the script of the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" to everyone. He called them here this time to practice it for them!
In another time and space, the shooting locations of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" include the studio of Beijing Film Studio, the "Couple Garden" of Xiaoqiaoxin Lane in the northeast of Suzhou, the Forbidden City, a Ming and Qing street in Yanjing, and the Summer Resort in Rehe
etc.
However, there are much fewer places to go this time. The Ming and Qing Palaces over Hengdian have already been completed, and most of the scenes will be completed there.
By the way, if you are qualified, you can check out the original version of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo". There are many surprises hidden in it!
"Director Wu, the company is so supportive of us this time, we will definitely not let the company down!" Zhang Zien said with a smile.
The production cost of this TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luo Guo" is as high as 8 million, which is already a very high production cost in China.
As prices soar, the cost of filming TV series is also increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Of course I believe everyone. I called you here this time because I hope you can work together to prepare for this TV series. When you go to Hengdian Film and Television City to shoot next month, the company will
You practice it!”
Although the script has been given to everyone, Zhang Zien definitely still needs some preparation time, including setting up his own behind-the-scenes team, designing costumes, shooting plans, and a series of other things.
Fortunately, Zhang Zi'en and Han Gang's filming team were all familiar with them, and the costume design was handled by Gu Guang Props. There were not too many problems. One month of preparation time was enough!
At this time, Li Xiaowan also walked in!
Now Li Xiaowan is the head of the Tangting Culture Television Department and the chief producer of this TV series.
At this time, Li Xiaowan was no longer an unknown person. Because Tangting Culture continued to output excellent TV series, many provincial and municipal TV stations now asked about cooperation with Tangting Culture.
And Li Xiaowan is responsible for almost all of this.
"Director Wu, Director Zhao and the others are here too!"
When Zhang Zien and others heard that Wu Jianye had a visitor, they naturally said goodbye.
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Okay then, just go ahead and make preparations. If you have any questions, just contact Mr. Li directly!"
Li Xiaowan smiled and shook hands with Zhang Zi'en and said: "Director Zhang, we will have a happy cooperation from now on. I will be responsible for the logistics of the crew. I still have to trouble you with filming issues!"
Zhang Zien said with a smile: "This condition makes all the directors outside envious!"
When other companies or TV stations produce TV series, producers always like to put forward various opinions. Many people complain about this kind of thing, but there are only a handful of companies like Tangting Culture that give full rights to directors.
Of course, if you are a director like Wang Fulin, there will definitely be no problem!
At this time, Li Na also brought Zhao Baogang, Wang Zhiwen, Jiang Shan, and Liu Bei into the conference room of Tangting Culture.
Wang Zhiwen and Zhang Guoli said hello at the door of the conference room and left with Zhang Zi'en and others.
"Teacher Wu, I've picked up all the people, and I've chosen Jiang Shan as the female lead. What do you think?" After Zhao Baogang came in, he and Wu Jianye had been looking at each other for more than ten years, so naturally they wouldn't be too polite.
.
Wang Zhiwen and Jiang Shan are also actors who have collaborated with Wu Jianye, so they appear to be more casual than Zhang Zien and others just now.
Only Liu Bei was meeting Wu Jianye for the first time and seemed a little nervous.
"By the way, this is Liu Bei, the second female lead in "Enjoyable"!" Zhao Baogang introduced Liu Beidao to Wu Jianye.
At this time, Liu Bei was just 25 years old, which was the best age for a woman.
"Director Wu!" Liu Bei said a little nervously.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a scourge, but I heard from Feng Pants and others that you are a hero among women!"
Liu Bei is good friends with Feng Pengtong, Wang Shuo and others. She was born into a family of performers. Her father is the director of Yanjing TV Station and her mother is a drama actress.
Liu Bei herself graduated from the Yanjing Opera School and studied Peking Opera. She first studied the Mei School with teacher Huang Shixiang, who was born in Fuliancheng, and later studied the Cheng School with teacher Li Wenmin, a disciple of Cheng School artist Mr. Zhao Rongchen.
Tsing Yi.
In 1985, Liu Bei graduated from the Peking Opera Department of the Yanjing Vocational College of Opera Arts and was assigned to be an actor in the Youth Theater Troupe of the Yanjing Peking Opera Theater. In 1986, she resigned and became an "individual actor".
Individual actors are a special term for the actor group in this era, which is equivalent to actors in later generations who do not have agencies and work on their own.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Bei has greater freedom. Coupled with her background, she has become good friends with Feng Pants, Wang Shuo, Zheng Xiaolong and others.
As for Liu Bei being said to be a hero among girls, it is because Liu Bei drinks a lot and ordinary men are no match for her. Feng Pengteng once bluntly said that he is no match for Liu Bei when it comes to drinking.
Liu Bei smiled shyly and said, "It's all Feng Pants's fault!"
Then Wu Jianye said hello to Jiang Shan and Wang Zhiwen.
This time I called them over. The TV series "Enjoyed" was also about to start filming. Wu Jianye was there to encourage them.
The TV series "Enjoyable" only has eight episodes, and the investment per episode is only 100,000, which is much cheaper than "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo".
But in terms of fame, it is not inferior to "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" at all!
"How are the preparations for the TV series going?" Wu Jianye asked Zhao Baogang.
Zhao Baogang smiled and said: "The filming will officially start next week. Would you like to come over and take a look?"
Wu Jianye said ambiguously: "Let's talk about it then!"
It's not that Wu Jianye doesn't want to go, Wu Jianye is currently working hard on conceiving his new movie script, and he doesn't have much free time because he has to check various materials.
Zhao Baogang said carelessly: "That's it, I'll call you when the time comes!"
Wu Jianye smiled: "Don't worry, I know the strength of all of you. I believe in you for this TV series!"
Due to Wu Jianye's support, Zhao Baogang in this time and space is much more famous than Zhao Baogang in another time and space at the same time. The eight episodes of "Enjoyment" are not a difficult task for Zhao Baogang at all.
Zhao Baogang smiled and said: "It would be great if you wrote this script!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "You have to believe in your own ability. If I didn't write the script, why wouldn't you shoot it?"
Wu Jianye only provided Zhao Baogang with an outline of the story, and then gave Zhao Baogang the right to adapt Wang Shuo's novel, and he would find the screenwriter himself, so that's why Zhao Baogang said this now.
Zhao Baogang smiled and said: "I know how to shoot!"
Wu Jianye was afraid and patted Zhao Baogang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's shoot well. I have already read the script of this TV series. It is very good. It will definitely cause a sensation!"
Zhao Baogang nodded seriously. Although Zhao Baogang has become famous now, no one will dislike his growing fame.
The current domestic TV drama industry is exactly the opposite of the film industry. With the decline of the film industry, the TV drama industry is like the rising sun.
And Zhao Baogang has also found his own direction of effort. He wants to become one of the best TV drama directors in China.
After encouraging Zhao Baogang and others, Wu Jianye also asked Li Xiaowan to allocate funds for Zhao Baogang and others to have a crew gathering in the evening.
This has become a habit of Tangting culture. There will be a party before the TV series or movie starts, and there will also be a party when the filming is completed.
After Zhao Baogang and others left happily, Li Xiaowan stayed.
"The two TV series "Enjoyment" and "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" have already been negotiated with Yanjing TV, Shanghai TV, and Qilu TV. After filming is completed, they will be broadcast on these three TV stations!"
The prosperity of TV dramas also marks the gradual transformation of TV stations from poor households to wealthy households. Although the advertising revenue is not as amazing as in later generations, it is enough to support the TV stations!
Nowadays, the TV series produced by Tangting Culture is a golden brand. During the preparation of the series, it has attracted many TV stations to come to negotiate.
However, because both TV series had some Beijing flavor, Li Xiaowan finally decided to sell these two TV series to Yanjing TV. As for Shanghai TV, it was because Huhai TV had always had a good cooperative relationship with Tangting Culture, and
Qilu TV is also a very influential TV station in China now, and there is no way to compare it with what it was 25 years later.
Wu Jianye asked: "How much does each episode cost?"
"The first-round broadcast rights are RMB 50,000 per episode for "Enjoyable" and RMB 80,000 per episode for "Prime Minister Liu Luo Guo"!" Li Xiaowan replied.
Now Wang Shuo is the largest IP in the domestic film and television industry. The price of TV series adapted from his novels will be higher. The reason why the price of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" is so high is because of the screenwriter of this TV series.
It's Wu Jianye.
"The Legend of White Snake" established Wu Jianye's position in the domestic TV drama circle. Although the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" is not an adaptation of a masterpiece, it already has enough ratings with Wu Jianye and Li Baotian.
Strong!
Li Baotian's main achievement now is still in movies. Now that he is starring in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", it is a dimensionality reduction attack, and his appeal is naturally stronger.
If it were 25 years later, an actor like Li Baotian would not be able to compare with Xiao Xianrou.
Wu Jianye nodded. This is already a very good price at this time. The recovery cost of TV series is different from that of movies. TV series like "Enjoyed" and "Prime Minister Liu Luo Guo" can recover their costs in the first round.
There are not many TV series, and more companies will only recover their costs when they get the second round of broadcast rights.
Of course, this does not include the advertising benefits of the two TV series.
Compared with the period drama "Prime Minister Liu Luo Guo", the modern drama "Enjoyed" will have higher advertising revenue.
To put it simply, the TV series "Enjoyable" will definitely surpass "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" in terms of single-episode revenue!
However, the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" also has an advantage over "Enjoyment", that is, the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" will be broadcast on ATV, and ATV also has to pay the acquisition price.
To really wait for TV dramas to be bought at a good price on TV stations, we have to wait until CCTV launches the advertising standard king. At that time, various TV stations can truly see the power of advertising.
At that time, various TV stations introduced new advertising policies one after another, which directly led to a sharp increase in the TV station's income, and the purchase price of TV series also increased.
