Chapter 690: We Won’t Sell Unless You Knock Us Out

Xu Rong, the second male deputy captain of the special operations team, is played by Gu Zhixin.

The second female military doctor Yin Yuner is played by Wang Likun.

In the play, Chen Xiang plays the role of classmate Xiao Li, a young doctor from a famous family.

The remaining roles are all selected by veteran actors. In the field of TV dramas, the audience feels familiar with them as long as they see them.

Nowadays, a very obvious feature of all film and television dramas is to invite good friends to come and make guest appearances. If a film and television drama does not have a few stars to support it, the audience will lack interest. "The Hunting Ground" was originally a very good subject, but it was edited poorly for various reasons. The tense pace of the first four or five episodes and the procrastinating and boring plot afterwards seemed to be completely produced by two directors. It feels like the first two seasons of an American TV series. It was shot by Spielberg, but the later episodes were shot by non-professional directors who came out of nowhere, wasting so many supporting guest stars.

The "Descendants of the Sun" company has also made some invitations. At that time, one person will come to Greece to help with some guest roles. The skeleton-level personnel have been fixed. All cast and crew members gathered together and it was held in Yanjing in a very low-key manner. After a chat to get to know each other, we went into the studio to start the final makeup of all the characters.

As for the makeup of the characters, it is actually all about fine-tuning. As early as when the script was released, Chen Hao came with a sketch. The first and second male characters are basically in military uniforms. The first and third male characters and a supporting role are mostly dressed in white. The second female lead also wears a military uniform. The most important thing is how the actor looks in these looks and whether they are suitable.

There are no problems with the male actors. They basically fit the roles. What we are looking at now is the styling design of Yang Mi and Wang Likun.

Female characters in idol dramas must present a beautiful posture, and even be superior to the handsomeness of men to some extent. Wang Likun is tall, wearing military uniform, and the design of medium-long hair does not break her. Bottom line, Chen Hao was very satisfied with the overall look.

Chen Hao was a little worried about Yang Mi at first. He always felt that the damage to her temperament in recent years was too serious. Three Lives, Three Lives and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms was a turnaround, but Chen Hao still felt that she was a little bit behind. Meaning, even to be honest, the aura of her character in the drama is really not as good as Dilraba's Feng Jiu. That is to say, her opponent's character is too facial, which makes her character pretty good.

To put it in the most sincere way, Da Mi Mi should shoot fashion blockbuster advertisements. That is the most suitable place for her and the best place to show her charm.

Today, classmate Da Mi Mi subverted Chen Hao's perception of her. It can be said that Jiang Hanyan gave Chen Hao a big surprise with her fixed makeup look. She cut her long hair shorter and tied it into a ponytail to make her look more capable. Some of them can be put on the shoulders when it is necessary to wear them loosely, and they can be put up slightly to create a different look. They are wearing white coats and standard doctor uniforms. There are no high heels on the feet anymore, soft cloth-soled shoes, and baggy pants. , there are not many opportunities to show off the figure when the character appears, what matters is the overall feeling.

It’s great. There is a comparison in Chen Hao’s mind. The version of Song Hye Kyo in his mind. When he first watched the first episode, Song Hye Kyo’s appearance did not give people much amazing feeling. On the contrary, it was quite a embryo of an idol drama. The heroine always looks a bit like an ugly duckling when she first appears, but later on, she slowly transforms as the scene, environment, shooting techniques, and her own identity change.

In this drama, Yang Mi's appearance as a doctor in a white coat is no worse than Song Hye Kyo's first appearance. The existence of the terrifying bun line and big forehead was slightly improved under the arrangement of the stylist this time. The decoration is mainly capable, and in the overall impression, she is dressed in a doctor's outfit and looks much taller than the Song Hye Kyo version. The latter obviously conceals her height more seriously. In terms of real body shape, Yang Mi still occupies the leading position. Advantage.

The funds for this drama are as abundant as ever, and Chen Hao's crew has never been short of money. Taking advantage of the success of "Charlotte Trouble", Jing Tianlin set an investment amount that is not too high. Those who wanted to follow along also entered the venue one after another under his screening. His original words were simple: "I know you want to work hard for the movie, but you also know that even if I don't say this, you have to enter the venue." It’s early, the TV series will make more money, at least you will be in the show.”

Brother Tian, ​​Kuang Zhonghai and others are already familiar with it. They have prepared the funds very early. The advance funds that can be entered into the market are entered into the account. Finally, the account is sealed, with 80 million investment funds for filming and 20 million reserve funds. , follow-up investment or post-shooting promotion will be carried out according to the shooting situation. 100 million is used to produce a modern love idol drama with only 20 episodes. Even for large-scale movie promotion, this fund is slightly too much, but after Chen Hao and many investments In people's minds, this price is not expensive at all.

After the entire crew set their makeup, they set off the next day. Domestic scenes were not filmed for the time being. When they arrived at the airport the next day, a piece of good news came. This was also the time after the investment was confirmed, and when this drama and "Dream of the Stars" After the mutual publicity had achieved results, Brother Tian started the sales negotiations.

In terms of the production of this drama, due to the filming involving foreign countries, the current cast and crew of Happy Reunion Era are still lacking in background. In addition, Jing Tianlin and others controlled the investment so as not to be too dazzling. In the end, after everyone's discussion, Huayi was accepted. The brothers injected capital. In this capital injection, Jing Tianlin came forward and specifically tested the sincerity of Huayi Brothers.

Basic information, investment amount, Huayi Brothers, you put out 30 million, which can only account for 15% of the amount, and there will be a floating index of 10 million in the later stage. Once the shooting cost or publicity cost exceeds the limit, it will be floated proportionally according to the current investment amount.

The conditions are very harsh. Although Huayi gave a reply the next day, you should know that the meeting that night was held until late at night. Do you want to come in and play? Chen Hao's body was painted with some mysterious luster. Is this thing hyped up or does he really have such talent? Huayi did not have an accurate answer. One hundred million to produce a TV series with only 20 episodes, this is a big joke. We recognize the value of you Chen Hao and Yang Mi. Your current popularity and brand are worth a TV series of 100 million, but that is a costume drama, and it must be at least 60 episodes. In this way, we can recover the cost and even make a profit in the first round of broadcasting rights in the future, but this 20-episode TV series, one episode sold at least 8 million to make a profit, and the second and third rounds of network broadcasts in the later stage are added together to be a normal profitable project.

Before boarding the plane, a piece of good news came to the crew, which gave all the actors confidence and gave them enough motivation to feel that they were participating in a big production that was destined to be popular.

"One hundred and twenty million per episode."

A TV station offered one hundred and twenty million per episode to get the first round of exclusive broadcast of "Descendants of the Sun". This news gave everyone confidence and also gave investors confidence. Chen Hao had already known another piece of news.

The company rejected this proposal. When the news came out, not only the actors in the crew were shocked, but also the outside world was dumbfounded. You, Huya and Huayi, are really confident and dare to play like this? Are you really so confident in Chen Hao?

Yes, in everyone's perception, this drama can get such a price, mostly because of Chen Hao's appeal, and his confrontation with "Star Dream". Both sides won in the early publicity. The outside world is confident that the drama is so hyped, no matter what the quality is, at least the audience's attention before the first round of broadcast is very high, and it doesn't matter if a high price is given. With high attention, the price of advertising will also rise. In addition, the increase in star pay and production costs is also a measure for advertisers.

Giving 12 million is not enough? How big is your ambition?

At the airport, everyone's eyes are focused on Chen Hao, waiting for him to give everyone an answer. 12 million, this is not enough. This number is purely based on what they think in their hearts, and they are already very satisfied. Why did the company reject it so readily?

Chen Hao did not deliberately hide it, nor did he exaggerate and brag. He was confident that he would get good results from publicity to the broadcast of the drama, so that this value can be further improved.

He didn't think he could spend the 100 million yuan investment, but in order to keep improving, of course, the more fully prepared the better.

"We want to talk about cooperation, or a number that can stun us."

Twelve million was flatly rejected. What number could stun them, double it?

With such doubts, everyone got on the plane. While they had confidence in their hearts, they also derived certain pressure. A production with such a large investment amount must have a strong publicity offensive. It can be said that success and failure are all due to Xiao He. Once the filming fails, it may not be able to turn around within a year or two, and it will be difficult for you to find an important role in a big production.

Shoot it well.

Beliefs are contagious. After getting on the plane, the actors looked at each other and felt something similar to what they thought in their hearts. Shoot it well.

Yang Mi was sitting next to Chen Hao. She looked at the man who was always calm and composed. As the head of her own studio, she also had a hand in making some film and television investments. To be honest, she was tempted by the price of 12 million just now. She felt that it was in line with or even exceeded the estimated value of a single episode of this drama. Why did she look so unmoved?

"Sister, a beautiful tough guy with a soft heart, a popular profession like military and medicine. Just don't hate me too much during the filming, and don't thank me too much after the TV show."

"Who are you calling sister?"

"Ah, sister, spare me, don't pinch me."
