Chapter 329 Determination of the role
Sixty million is not enough, more more?
In the office, everyone looked at Li Youwei with a shocked look.
Especially those colleagues in the Film and Television Department.
They really want to say, where do we get the money to add some more?
The headquarters only approved 50 million for them, and the additional 10 million was Li Youwei paid for it himself. If there was more, it would be gone...
On the contrary, Chen Ming stroked his chin thoughtfully and thought for a moment.
"I really need to add more!"
Really add?!
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned from Li Youwei to Chen Ming. This was 60 million, not 6,000 yuan. Even if it was filming a TV series, it should be completely enough.
At this moment, Zheng Rong felt that he should say something.
Then, Zheng Rong coughed a few times and asked softly: "Chen Ming, how many episodes do you plan to film this "Legend of Sword and Fairy"?"
Chen Ming did not hesitate at all: "It is expected to be episode 34."
To be honest, Chen Ming wanted to modify the tragic ending of Xian Jianyi, but after thinking about it for a long time, he found that his imagination was limited and he could not think of a better ending, so he simply did not change it, and planned to use the ending of the original drama.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Rong thought for a moment and said, "For episodes 34, it will take a one-hour basis for each episode, and it shouldn't take 60 million yuan of funds."
Zheng Rong has never had much contact with the film and television industry, so he doesn't know much about the costs.
Seeing this, Li Youwei explained: "The scene arrangement and actor pay for each episode are calculated separately. It will be settled once after filming one episode. Moreover, for this kind of fairy tale drama, special effects rendering will be basically used in each episode. We have not many special effects teams in Zhongzhou, so we need to ask from Dongzhou. This money is not cheap."
Among the people present, only Li Youwei and his colleagues from the Film and Television Department probably know the funds that each episode needs to be spent.
Frankly speaking,
The proportion of scene arrangement in funds is the lowest.
The actors' pay and special effects rendering are the most expensive places for this fairy tale drama.
Especially,
Chen Ming plans to invite some big-name star lineup this time, so the pay of these actors will definitely not be low.
Li Youwei also thought of this and asked more if he wanted to increase the money.
If it is an ordinary urban TV series, then 60 million is definitely enough, and you can even make a lot of wealth.
But ancient costume fantasy and ancient costume fairy tale are definitely not enough!
After reading the script,
Li Youwei had no idea of changing the script.
Just from the plot of the first ten episodes, we can see that Chen Ming is planning an extremely huge world of fairy tales. Once this world is structured, it can be completely filmed at the back.
The first part is just the beginning!
In this world,
Each character's growth path can be taken out separately and carefully photographed.
No wonder!
No wonder Chen Ming planned to make a series of TV series from the beginning.
It turned out that he had already made plans in his heart.
Li Youwei looked at Chen Ming: "My suggestion is to try the photos internally first to see the effect. What do you mean by Chen Ming?"
In the first ten episodes of Xian Jianyi, most important characters of Xian Jianyi appeared. In the first four episodes, Li Xiaoyao and Ling'er played a lot.
In the second episode, Anu appeared and Jiu Jianxian appeared.
Episode 4: Meet the top scholar and Liu Jinyuan by chance.
In the fifth episode, Lin Yueru, an important female supporting role, appears.
In episode 6, Elder Shi appears.
In the seventh episode, Tang Yu Xiaobao appears.
At this point,
Basically all the positive characters in the play appear. Of course, there is another one that is the most impressive of Xianjian No. 1, which is our "scientist", the leader of the Moon Worshiping Sect.
In other words, in the first ten episodes written by Chen Ming, we can basically start preparing for the role agreement.
Chen Ming nodded: "There is no problem with the test shot. You can start when the character is confirmed."
"You are the screenwriter. Do you have any ideas about the choice of the character?"
Li Youwei asked.
In a moment,
Many people present stared at Chen Ming.
Xiao Xuan and Xiao Fan are both here for this TV series, and they definitely hope to play some roles with more roles.
There are not many female characters in the play.
at least,
At present, it seems that there are only three female characters, Ling'er, Lin Yueru and Anu.
Chen Ming thought for a while and looked at Jia Mi: "You try the character Anu."
At the beginning,
When Chen Ming first saw Jia Mi, this thought flashed through his mind.
Jiami and Anu are so similar!
originally,
In Chen Ming's plan, the shooting of Xian Jianyi was even further backwards, but after seeing Jia Mi, Chen Ming began to try to shoot Xian Jianyi in advance.
Upon hearing this, Jia Mi nodded excitedly.
This comes from Chen Ming’s affirmation!
"Xiao Xuan and Xiao Fan are both suitable for Lin Yueru's role. I can't decide. You two will discuss with Minister Li at that time."
Xiao Xuan's external image is better than Xiao Fan.
But Xiao Fan's personality is very similar to Lin Yueru.
Audiences of the Party’s appearance prefer Xiao Xuan; audiences of the Party’s original work prefer Xiao Fan.
certainly,
There is no original work of Xian Jianyi in this world, so without reference samples, Chen Ming is actually more inclined to choose Xiao Xuan.
As for Sun Qingxuan, Chen Ming reserved a role for her.
That is Ling'er's mother, the last descendant of Nuwa.
There is also a female snake demon character in the middle and late stages.
then,
Jiang Ming, the most talented disciple of Shushan Sword Sect, fell in love with a fox demon during his experience in the process of going down the mountain and brought the fox demon back to Shushan.
The shemale is a different path!
What's more, Jiang Ming is responsible for the position of the future head of Shushan, and has the hope of becoming an immortal.
In helpless,
Jiang Ming hid in the Demon Locking Tower with the Fox Demon.
This plot is very shocking. Chen Ming is very clear about this plot and does not need to think about it carefully.
Let’s see who finally got Lin Yueru’s role.
The remaining one can let her try out the role of this snake demon.
The roles of Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru are naturally played by Chen Ming and Su Rou.
Don't say anything else,
Chen Ming and Su Rou's acting skills are worthy of recognition.
Chen Ming has no idea about other characters for the time being.
As for casting, it is left to Li Youwei to take charge.
Li Youwei nodded: "Okay, I'll go and screen the appropriate list of actors. If you don't have time for an interview, I'll be responsible for the whole process."
Chen Ming had no comment.
at last,
A group of people chatted about the shooting again, and Chen Ming left Xingyu Entertainment alone.
tomorrow,
Chen Ming also wants to participate in the "One Show of Singing Singing" competition.
so,
Just let others worry about the rest of the matter, he needs to take good care of the variety show in front of him first.
If nothing unexpected happens, the test shooting of Xian Jianyi will begin in August.
At that time,
Chapter completed!
