Chapter 152 Wei Xiaofan's Plan (First Update! Please Subscribe! Please Ask for a Monthly Pass!)

After sending off Huang Xizhao and the three of them to leave, Yin Jun did not leave with him, but returned to another box on the second floor.

After waiting for a short time, Wei Xiaofan pushed the door open and walked in.

"What do you mean by the weather in Xiangjiang? It's already October, and it's still so hot." Wei Xiaofan said while drinking tea while sitting, "The weather in Xiangjiang is what I'm least used to. Huajing is better... …Well, everything is good except being a little poorer.”

"Thirty years later, Huajing will develop better than Xiangjiang." Yin Jun said with a smile, "At that time, Xiangjiang people should go to Huajing."

"Hehe, are you kidding me?" Wei Xiaofan thought Yin Jun was joking.

But 30 years later, it will be 2008. At the moment of the opening of the Olympic Games, the whole world can see Huajing's simplicity, solemnity and modern prosperity.

Although at that time, Huajing was still inferior to Xiangjiang in some places, but in terms of development potential, it was ten times stronger than Xiangjiang.

Yin Jun didn't bother to explain. Anyway, Wei Xiaofan was only in his sixties at that time, and he could fully see how Huajing and even the entire mainland developed.

"Brother Wei, I heard that someone from Treasure Island is coming and wants to ask you to film "Legend of Bao Zheng"?" Yin Jun continued to refill him tea.

"Yes, won't "Bao Qingtian" end at the end of November? The CTV in Baodao here is very active and enthusiastic. They have already communicated with Jiashi and want to find me, saying that they will pay me 3,000 Hong Kong dollars for an episode. .” Wei Xiaofan said with a smile.

Huashi of Baodao, the TV station that cooperates with Jiashi to broadcast "Bao Qingtian", is one of the three major TV stations in Baodao.

The TV drama market in Taiwan is also very hot, and they are also full of enthusiasm for making TV dramas.

Seeing that "Bao Qingtian" will finish broadcasting around the Spring Festival at the most, CTV certainly wants to continue this miracle and keep its ratings stable.

People in Baodao are very fond of and tolerant of long-form TV dramas.

Not to mention that the puppet shows in the 1970s often had five or six hundred episodes, even in the original version of "Bao Qingtian" in 1993, there were also 41 units, a total of 236 episodes.

And after 2000, they are also like this. For example, the "Nianjia", which was broadcast on Baodao in 2008 and introduced to the mainland after 2010, also has 415 episodes.

In contrast, in the 76 episodes of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", being scolded for elongating and defrauding money is simply aggrieved.

So they planned to make a "Legend of Bao Zheng" with more than 300 episodes, and they asked Wei Xiaofan and Hui Tianci to do it by name. Among them, Wei Xiaofan had 3,000 episodes, and Hui Tianci also had 2,600 episodes.

In the whole "Bao Qingtian", that is, the two of them are the most prosperous, so as long as the two of them are invited at a high price, there are many other actors in Baodao.

Because "Bao Qingtian" aired about 100 episodes, it still maintained an average ratings of 70%, so it is a well-deserved trump card of Jiashi.

For such a crew, of course, Jiashi kept giving red envelopes and rewards.

Wei Xiaofan's contract has been changed several times now, plus all the income, he can get 2,000 per episode, which is the same as Zheng Shaoqiu's "Chu Liuxiang" episode, but the minimum guaranteed annual salary is much less than Zheng Shaoqiu. ...Well, in fact, "Chu Liuxiang" is already so popular, and "Li's" has already raised Zheng Shaoqiu's salary, and he can get 3000 per episode.

For this reason, Shao Yifu called Huang Xizhao and scolded him bloody.

Just half a year ago, apart from a few pillars, TVB only paid 200 yuan per episode for first-line actors, 250 for Lily, and 300 for Jiashi at most.

But now?

The salaries of Li's and Jiashi's actors have risen reversibly, and the price increase has more than doubled!

Li's and Jiashi are backed by big-selling TV dramas in other cities, one of which costs 30-40 million yuan. Of course, they have the money to give bonuses to the stars, but TVB doesn't. 100,000 episodes, usually 30,000 to 50,000 episodes.

Coupled with Shao Yifu's stinginess, who is willing to give these first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate actors a raise?

Not to mention them, just a few pillars, they didn't get much, but wireless can give them more opportunities, and they can also make money in other ways, so they stayed.

In fact, Zheng Shaoqiu left TVB for a large part because of his salary.

Jiashi was the first to offer a high price, and then Li's followed suit. Naturally, TVB couldn't sit still. Their actors have already started to complain. Why do others raise their wages, but we still have so few? If it doesn't work, I'm going to quit!

Faced with such a situation, both Liang Shuyi, who was scolded before, and Huang Xizhao, who was scolded now, were secretly happy.

There are a lot of wireless talents, both in front of and behind the scenes.

If you can recruit more talents because of this, your own TV station will develop better in the future.

Leave this matter aside.

Compared with Zheng Shaoqiu who is so popular now, Wei Xiaofan is actually very popular.

After more than three months of broadcasting, "Bao Qingtian" has already become popular in the entire Asian region. Even Japan and South Korea like "Bao Qingtian" very much, like Mr. Bao and Zhan Huwei. One can imagine how big its influence is. .

As the soul of "Bao Qingtian", Wei Xiaofan was highly praised by the housewives with his unique performance and increasingly excellent control of the role, which naturally became a guarantee of ratings.

CTS made this "Legend of Bao Zheng", which has never appeared in history, and it was willing to spend a lot of money. The salary of the first-class local TV drama star in Baodao is two to three hundred and one episodes. They raised the price of Wei Xiaofan to the mainland. Ten times as much as an actor, Wei Xiaofan will be paid almost 1 million yuan for one film, which does not include Wei Xiaofan's food and other expenses, which are all borne by CTS.

Hui Tianci's side is also about 1 million.

The two actors basically cost them 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and the production cost of 300 episodes is almost 15 million or more. Such a TV series can be ranked in Xiangjiang, let alone the relatively cheap production cost of a film and television like Baodao. a little place.

"Their bid is really high." Yin Jun sighed, "Brother Wei, have you decided, to go or not?"

"Go! Why don't you go?" Wei Xiaofan said without hesitation, "In addition to the salary, there are some red envelopes and so on. 1 million Hong Kong dollars is all right. After acting in this TV series, I can almost go back to my hometown!"

One million Hong Kong dollars is now converted into RMB, and the official exchange rate is 2.9, which means it can be exchanged for almost 345,000 RMB.

At present, when the per capita monthly income in China does not exceed 30 yuan, this amount of money is almost 11,000 monthly income, which is the income in 916.

But everyone knows that the official exchange rate is completely inconsistent with the actual consumption at this time, which is called serious underestimation.

Not to mention in the eastern part of Guangdong, even in Huajing, there are quite a few dealers who specialize in exchanging foreign currency, including the current Hong Kong dollar.

The dealer's exchange rate is much higher than the official exchange rate, at least about 40% higher, that is to say, 1 million Hong Kong dollars can be exchanged for 480,000 yuan.

As long as Wei Xiaofan takes so much money to go home, repair the house for his family, and start a small business, he won't have to worry about it for the rest of his life.

He really thought so. After being out for so long, he hasn't seen his parents, younger brothers and sisters for so many years. The landscape and people in his hometown are also thinking about it. It's time to go back.

And there is no shame in going back now, it is definitely a homecoming.

But Yin Jun felt that Wei Xiaofan's future shouldn't be so dull. He had already prepared Ouyang Zhenhua's famous classic for him, but he left without acting, which is really depressing.

"Brother Wei, you should go back and rest for two years. After all, you have been out for so long." Yin Jun murmured, "How about this, let's talk about it first. The filming on your Baodao side will take about half a year. , and then you go back to Huajing, so that my uncle and aunt can see that you are returning home in fine clothes, and by the way, you will find a good partner, and you will also stay together. Take a look, if it is suitable, you will get married and have children. If it is not suitable, there is no rush.

In this way, you will come back around the beginning of 1982. By that time, I will definitely have my own business. Whether it is filming or management, I will need trustworthy people to help me. With your talent, Brother Wei, it would be a waste to stay in the Mainland before it has fully developed. Why don’t you help me for a few more years and return to the Mainland around 1990, then it will be more convenient for you to do what you want to do. "

"What talent do I have? Don't just say good things." Wei Xiaofan laughed, "Brother Wei, I can also sing. Regarding company management, I can't even keep up with one-tenth of Xiaole. Come here to help you do it." What? I won't do it!...Okay, don't be coy there, my ID card is still from Xiangjiang, when I miss you, I will come over to play for a while with my wife and children, and you will entertain Brother Wei's family is playing...you want to come to Huajing with Xiaoguan, Brother Wei is the landlord, and he will definitely take you to play around, it must be much more spacious than Xiangjiang."

Don't look at Wei Xiaofan's carelessness on weekdays, but Yin Jun knows that he is a very principled person, and once he decides something, he usually won't change it.

If he hadn't given him the opportunity to "Bao Qingtian", he would have worked hard in Xiangjiang for another two or three years, singing opera and working hard together, and he would go home after saving 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

Wei Xiaofan didn't care about material things at all, the money was prepared by him for his family.

"Okay, let's do this first." Yin Jun could only say helplessly.

Originally, Yin Jun prepared several famous works of Ouyang Zhenhua for Wei Xiaofan, but it seems that it will not work in the short term.

He made up his mind to persuade Wei Xiaofan when he had time later, or he could point out a few ways for Wei Xiaofan to make a fortune first, so that he could have confidence in Huajing.

Among other things, if you start buying land, buying houses, and doing some trade work related to Xiangjiang from now on, your assets will definitely increase by turns.

Wei Xiaofan is a smart person, although he understands that Yin Jun wants to take care of himself, and letting him return to Xiangjiang, the working conditions must be much better than now.

But he felt that after so many years outside, he was also a little tired. Going home to marry and have children, take care of the elderly, and be comfortable is a good way of life.

As for the fame that is now in full swing, as well as the filming salary, advertising fees, etc., it is not a matter that can be given up at any time.

"Oh, by the way, Jun, when I want to go home next year, you have to help me negotiate the contract. We can pay some money, after all, I broke the contract first." Wei Xiaofan urged, "I think Xiao Le is a nice girl. She has a sharp tongue and knows how to measure. Let her represent me to talk to Jiashi."

Wei Xiaofan signed a contract with Jiashi for three years. This time, CTV also had direct contact with Wei Xiaofan through Jiashi.

At the end of next year at the latest, Wei Xiaofan is going to return to Huajing, and the contract still has more than a year left. Jiashi is definitely not willing to let his cash cow go.

If nothing else, the audience will buy another 100 episodes of "Bao Qingtian".

At this time, someone needs to help communicate.

Yin Jun is undoubtedly the best middleman.

"good!"

Yin Jun agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Not to mention that when Wei Xiaofan first signed the contract with Jiashi, the compensation was not set high. Now even if the salary and liquidated damages have been increased several times in a row, the liquidated damages are only about 500,000. No matter how high the compensation is, Can you not help your big brother?

Speaking of which, Jiashi has told Wei Xiaofan more than once that he wants to increase the contract period and give him more treatment-the underlying meaning is that the breach of contract compensation should also be increased, otherwise the mere 500,000, how could it stop others from wanting to pay? Poaching thoughts?

But Wei Xiaofan never agreed.

He is already ready to go home, so what is he doing restraining himself?

It is perfectly possible for Wei Xiaofan to pay liquidated damages and leave directly, but he is an old-fashioned Huajing person who does not want to offend others when it is not necessary. It's good to solve it.

Otherwise, not to mention Wei Xiaofan's huge salary of 1 million yuan for his upcoming performance in "Legend of Bao Zheng", the 5 commercials he has received recently add up to 200,000 yuan, which is already enough to pay liquidated damages.

What Huajing people pay attention to is a decent appearance.

It can even be said that old Huajing people, you rarely see people who are so bad that they bleed, because they care about decency and face, and they don't want to be poked in the back.

Wei Xiaofan's character is very good, and he is an out-and-out Huajing person, so naturally he is even more so.

After talking about the business, Wei Xiaofan brought up the second purpose of asking Yin Jun to drink tea today.

"Jun, you said that there are so many dramas on Jiashi recently, and the few dramas you are planning to give Li recently, are there any suitable roles?" Wei Xiaofan said without looking outside: "Xiaohong is not too old I’m too young, if there’s a chance, I should let her show it off. And Panpan, she didn’t get her turn in several roles, she won’t say anything, but I can’t help to ask. These two girls are nice, In the future, I will definitely be able to help you a lot like Xiaowei and Xiaohai, a good man needs three helpers, don't you think so?"

From Wei Xiaofan's point of view, Yin Jun, Hui Yinghong, and Yang Yulong are all his own people, so it's easier to talk a little bit, and anyone who can help can help.

More critical is the latter sentence.

Wei Xiaofan will leave Xiangjiang soon, he and Yin Jun are like brothers, Yin Jun knows to think of him, how could he not think about the future for his little brother?

In his opinion, Dong Wei and Meng Hai are very trustworthy, and their expertise is also good. In the future, they can help Yin Jun do some film and television work.

Then there are these two girls. Although they are only stars, girls who know martial arts are indispensable in movies and TV shows, so if they can also gather around Yin Jun, it will definitely be beneficial to Yin Jun's future career. helpful.

This is the most reliable candidate that Wei Xiaofan tried his best to win over Yin Jun.

Yin Jun naturally knew it well, and said with his jaw: "Although the filming of "Shen Shengyi" is in a hurry, the heroine has not been selected. If Sister Panpan is willing, I can recommend her to give it a try. After all, she is also a member of Jiashi, so it is easier to enter. As for Sister Hong, she is suitable for a heroic role, let me see what role she is suitable for in the script I gave Lidi."

"Okay." Wei Xiaofan said with a smile, "Actually, there's no need to give them the protagonist at the beginning, it's good to let them hone their skills."

This is a polite remark, of course Yin Jun won't take it seriously.

Yang Yulong has played several leading roles, although he has not been able to become popular, but can he really let her be the second or third female lead?

On Huiyinghong's side, there are several movie roles, and they are all good No. 2 and No. 3 characters. When you come to TV dramas, you can't treat them badly, right?

If the roles given are not good, then it is better not to let them come.

Yin Jun didn't think much of it either, only if they help him make money in the future can he help them.

The two young ladies are people they know and have eaten together several times. If they can help, they are definitely willing to help.

However, thinking of Hui Yinghong's bold move last time, Yin Jun felt a little apprehensive.

This sister is really a ruthless person, in order to achieve her goal, she can do anything.

The key point is that Huiyinghong is beautiful, has a good figure, and is still unmarried as Yunying. For a little boy like Yin Jun who has never been in contact with a woman, it is undoubtedly a huge lethal force. If she wants to come here more A few times, Yin Jun was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

This is the "sorrow" of the little boy. If Yin Jun was the one who went through the flowers, he would naturally laugh at the situation.

"And Ayu." Wei Xiaofan's words interrupted Yin Jun's thoughts, "She performed very well in "Wulin Biography", but this has something to do with her first performance, no scruples, and her willingness to go all out. .In fact, she lacks basic skills. If possible, let her study acting in the past two years. In terms of roles, important supporting roles are enough. It is better for her to polish it now."

"I know."

Yin Jun nodded.

The filming of "Wulin Biography" ended almost a month earlier than "Bao Qingtian".

In fact, Yin Jun had already agreed with Liu Tianci that after Wen Bixia finished filming, she would go to Jiashi's training class to study for half a year, during which time she would take on some small roles, and after two or three years, she would gradually start to play the leading role.

Although Wen Bixia is a girl who is born capable of acting, Yin Jun wants her to go further than her previous life and become a real Huadan star!
