While the filming of Zhang Hong's two movies was in full swing, the post-production of "Rich Detective" led by Li Hua and Lin Chuan was also coming to an end.
I have to say that this is probably the most expensive TV series besides "Mobile Suit" produced by Zhang Hong Company.
There are countless expensive clothes, watches, and luxury cars inside.
Calculated, the cost is definitely hundreds of millions.
But this is relatively inexpensive for Zhang Hong Company to shoot a TV series, with a total of only four million.
There is no way, luxury cars and so on are all "voluntarily" provided by Lin Chuan's private company.
In the past, he was criticized by Zhang Hong every day for being out of touch with the masses.
Everyone rides a small electric donkey, and the best one is to drive a car that costs more than 100,000 yuan.
Aren't you ashamed that you are the only one driving a seven- or even eight-figure car?
You must know that even the boss Zhang Hong can ride a little sheep e-donkey.
But now Lin Chuan has finally accepted his fate and rides Zhang Hong's same little sheep around every day.
After not driving, he suddenly discovered that in the city, a small sheep is indeed more useful than a four-wheeled vehicle.
Riding on his beloved little sheep, he rushed from the villa by the Luo River to the two-story building.
The entire team was taken to Hengdian for filming. He and Li Hua just came back a few days ago, and now the two-story building seems a little deserted.
No one ate snacks and watched movies, and no one played games with game consoles.
But Lin Chuan's mind was not on these things, and he quickly found Li Hua in the conference room.
He is showing the finished samples.
Seeing Lin Chuan coming, he quickly asked Lin Chuan to sit down and said, "Let's see how the movie goes!"
Li Huate was excited.
Almost more excited than when he saw the samples in the past.
Maybe it can only be compared when I was filming a TV series for the first time.
It was also the first time that Lin Chuan appreciated his heroic appearance.
After watching the first episode, he was surprised: "Is this me?"
The man in the film is arrogant and domineering, with a cold face and few words, but every move and action shows one thing, "I am rich"!
This is not in line with Lin Chuan's own personality.
His personality should be that of a very down-to-earth rich second generation.
Of course, it doesn’t mean the same thing as their “100 million small goal”, but really like an ordinary person.
At best, it's just a bit more expensive.
This kind of rich second generation in the TV series is usually beaten and played by him when we meet.
But let’s not talk about it, overall this first episode is quite interesting.
In the past, criminal investigation dramas basically involved various searches and then solving the case based on clues.
This time is different, either fishing for law enforcement, using all kinds of weird props, or relying on throwing money...
For example, in a burglary case, the suspect stole property worth half a million yuan.
After being caught, the male lead played by Lin Chuan directly put one million in his card, and then the suspect confessed honestly.
It's just such nonsense.
But Lin Chuan found it quite interesting when he saw it.
Is this possible in reality?
It's definitely not possible in China anyway.
There are certainly rich second generations who work as police officers, but these super rich second generations become police officers and use their background and money to solve crimes.
Definitely not.
Not only does it not exist in reality, but it has also never been seen in movies or TV shows.
Then why does Lin Chuan find it interesting?
Because this just hits the two g-spots of melon-eating people.
A policeman and a rich second generation.
Both of these can arouse people's curiosity, and then combine the two together...
This drama is not popular, God cannot tolerate it!
Lin Chuan sighed: "Old Li, your photography is better."
Li Hua pretended to be reserved, "No, no, no, Ah Chuan, you are the best at the role!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Then they stopped talking at the same time and said in unison: "Brother Hong wrote the script well!"
Looking at each other again, "Wow hahahaha!!!"
After the fun was over, a new problem came again.
"Is this film going to be a star or will it be sold to a video website?"
If it gets a star, that's great. After it gets a star, it can be sold to video websites, but the price won't be that high.
After all, this is not a film invested in by a video website.
If you sell it directly to video websites, the price will be fine, but it won’t matter if it’s the same as the stars.
Li Hua scratched his face, "What did Brother Hong say?"
Lin Chuandao: "He said it's best to put it on the stars first and then sell it to video websites. I asked my sister for the contact information of several TV stations. If you think it's okay, I'll contact them."
"Brother Hong is right." Li Hua nodded, "First go to the stars and become famous, and then sell it to a video website to keep it forever and recover some of the cost. We only spent four million on this drama
, the cost can be recovered easily.”
Lin Chuan: "..."
The eldest son of the Lin family, who not only had no pay, but also spent nine figures on luxury goods, picked up the phone and silently contacted those TV stations.
"Hello, who are you?"
""Rich Detective"? Sorry, our station has no plans to buy TV series recently. I will contact you if necessary."
"What?! You said it was written by Director Zhang? How many episodes? Twenty episodes? How about one million per episode?"
"No! For the sake of us being fellow villagers, just give us Heluo Terrace!"
"Wait a moment! I'll be right away! I'll be there within three hours!"
The phone was hung up and the two of them looked at each other.
"Brother Hong's name is so useful?"
At first, people said they were no longer interested, but when they heard it was written by Zhang Hong, they immediately sent money to the screenwriter without even thinking about it.
One million episodes, twenty episodes is 20 million.
And this is the first time I've quoted a price. From what I heard later, it's definitely going to increase.
"What should we do now? How about selling it directly?"
After Li Hua asked, Lin Chuan rejected his suggestion, "No, we still have to wait."
He rubbed his chin, thoughtfully, "Actually, I don't think we need to sell it to a TV station."
In other words, there is no need to be so anxious.
Li Hua became interested, "Oh? How do you say this?"
"Look, what's the most important thing when we make this movie? Is it to make money?"
Lin Chuan talked to himself, and first eliminated one correct answer, "That's definitely not the case! If it's to make money, then Brother Hong can just shoot it himself."
Li Hua thought thoughtfully, "So Brother Hong's purpose is to gain fame?"
"That's necessary!" Lin Chuan said with a smile, "You can tell by looking at Brother Hong's past films. When has he ever found a famous actor? It can't be because famous actors are paid more, right?
I have always felt that Brother Hong is a very ambitious person, so his goal is to become a person with more than ten thousand people in the film and television industry, so he basically does not look for investment from film and television investment companies in those circles.
The investors he found were all laymen, or they invested their own money and made the films themselves.”
Li Hua recalled everything he saw after joining the company, as well as the deeds he heard about before joining the company.
He felt that he had been convinced, "No wonder all the colleagues in the company were recruited by Brother Hong himself."
This logic makes sense.
He raised his head and said, "What should we do specifically?"
Lin Chuan snapped his fingers and said confidently, "If CCTV also wants this film, sell it to them at a low price. Then after they finish showing it, sell it to the largest video website at a similar price."
Anyway, no matter how I sell it, I will never get back the nine-digit assets I spent.
What else can you say?
Li Hua gave a thumbs up with a look of admiration, "You are indeed Brother Hong's right-hand man! Ah Chuan, you are just like the tapeworm in Brother Hong's belly!"
Lin Chuan said to himself: "It won't work anywhere."
............
Zhang Hong, who was filming a movie, suddenly sneezed twice in a row.
Moreover, he suddenly felt sad, as if he felt that something very important was leaving him.
Rubbing his nose, he murmured: "Is there another unscrupulous person who wants to harm me?"
ps: I couldn’t bear it anymore and fell asleep while sitting in front of the computer. Sorry.
