Chapter 780 Sky-High Performance Fee
On January 5th, Li Qian hosted a dinner at the hotel, graciously entertaining all members of the crew of "Youth Bao Qingtian" - this drama, on January 3rd, finally officially wrapped up.
This is the first play that Zhao He came to Minghu Culture to direct himself.
This is also Xu Mengshan's second leading role after his success in "Princess Returning the Pearl". In the current domestic TV drama actor circle, he is the freshest and hottest fried chicken.
Then, on January 8th, Li Qian rushed to the airport in person and saw off Jin Han and his group.
In 2001, Jin Han finished the filming of "Full House" and completed the post-production, then began the intense preparations for "Peacock".
This is his second film since he helped Liao Liao and He Runqing shoot the MV and started to get close to the Minghu Culture group, and later became the film and television director of Minghu Culture.
"On the Road" fluttered, regardless of word of mouth, awards or box office, basically nothing. Although at the box office, it can barely be regarded as a breakeven, but at the time when Li Qian's wife Wang Jinglu was exposed, the film's ability to recoup the cost should be credited to the heroine Wang Jinglu.
So, although it was agreed at the beginning that he helped Li Qian make a TV series, Li Qian invested in a movie for him, and so far, he has completed "Meteor Garden" and "Full House" quite beautifully, but For him, "Peacock" is still a play that cannot be missed.
Although Li Qian can't say anything, as long as he continues to help him make commercial TV dramas, it is absolutely cost-effective to spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year to test his inner thoughts, but for Jin Han himself, He casually takes a script from Li Qian, and if it’s a TV series, it will always hit the air. As a result, the art work he worked so hard on is always ignored—this is fatal to his self-confidence. hit!
So during the preparation, he had secretly made up his mind, if this "Peacock" still didn't work, then he would simply give up in the future and start filming the script that Li Qian threw over!
Even if the box office still doesn't make it, at least...he should get an award or something, right?
Although Li Qian bought the adaptation rights with his help, from the beginning of the script, to the preparation of the crew, to the selection of actors and locations, he created everything by himself. This time, even Li Qian's most valued actor signed a contract with him in a completely conniving attitude, and Zou Wenhuai did not give any mandatory requirements, such as requiring the male and female protagonists to be used to sign with Minghu Culture and so on. of.
It can be said that from the beginning of the preparatory period, this drama has been advancing completely according to his wishes. In his view, this is an opportunity that cannot be failed to prove his strength!
Then, Li Qian sent off Jin Han and the crew of "Peacock" on the front foot, and on January 11, that is, three days later, he sent off Han Shunzhang and his crew of "Deep Love and Rain".
The former took away the relatively high-end behind-the-scenes team within Minghu Culture, and the latter packed up the rest of the staff. For this reason, Minghu Culture’s two-line parallel plan for film and television production took a short break of one or two months. After that, it soon started to full power again-even though the Spring Festival is still a month away.
The just-concluded "Youth Bao Qingtian" is starring Xu Mengshan, who is famous in "Princess Returning the Pearl", and the "Love is Deep and Rainy" that Han Shunzhang is going to shoot is "Little Swallow" and "Ziwei". selling point.
When "Peacock" will be filmed, it's really hard to predict, because Jin Han is also a very willful person, and the person in charge of acting as the producer for him was promoted in a hurry, and the experience is really not rich. Bin—I only hope that his performance can be better than Huang Wenjuan, after all, he is a graduate of Shuncheon Film Academy. Although Li Qian didn't expect him to be able to suppress Jin Han.
However, the filming cycle of "Deep Love and Rain" is predictable. The film will start in mid-January, and then wrap up in mid-March. Originally, the filming of TV dramas is better controlled than movies. What's more, Lao Han is a very rigorous person!
Although this movie is the first movie he officially directed in name, with his experience as an executive director in "Princess Returning the Pearl" and his experience as a producer of so many previous movies, Li Qian For him, it is 10,000 reassurances - he can not only suppress the play, but also shock the actors, and he can also control the expenses.
According to the plan, after filming "Deep Love in the Rain", Han Shunzhang and his crew only have about a week to rest. Next, he will not directly enter the later stage of the film, but will be like 01 Like Li Qian in the summer and autumn of each year, one drama is finished, and the next drama will be opened directly.
That is, "Princess Returning the Pearl Part Two".
That play was still on the shoulders of his director and producer.
From late March to late May is the filming period reserved for him. Then, he will be responsible for the post-production of "Princess Returning the Pearl Part 2" first, and this film cannot be delayed in Hunan at the end of August. The launch of Satellite TV will free up hands to do the later stage of "Deep Love and Rain".
Look, how busy it is!
Basically, before October next year, Han Shunzhang will not touch the ground.
Of course, he took on two plays on one shoulder, which is currently second only to Jin Han in the Minghu culture. He is too happy, so why would he be tired?
What's more, it can be seen from the attitude that among the current batch of directors and producers within Minghu Culture, Li Qian is the most let go of him. In terms of trust, it even surpasses Jin Han!
Because Li Qian is sure that Han Shunzhang can carry everything alone!
So, a director like Lao Han, who understands art and can restrain himself, can play transfers, hold actors, and manage the camera, and also works hard, is really too little!
But the problem is that in the art circle, there are more stubborn asses like Jin Han and Ming Xiaojing!
After sending off the two filming teams, Li Qian finally got a little leisure, took a short rest for a day to recuperate, and seized the time to continue recording the new album - in three days, he won the last two songs and finally completed the album completely. recording of the album.
In the later stage, it will be handed over to Cao Zhan and Wang Huaiyu to watch, and will strive to be officially listed at the end of January!
Although the entire production time was limited from preparation to production to recording to post-production, Li Qian, Cao Zhan, and Yu Bojun were all very busy people during the period, and there were always various delays. Today he is not in a good state. , could not be recorded, the day after tomorrow Li Qian had a small voice problem, and could not record, and so on, but this album was finished in a hurry, even if it hadn’t been sent to post-processing, a few people sat down and listened to it from beginning to end , but they are all very satisfied and very proud.
Because, well, everyone thinks, this album is really awesome!
Then, the Chinese New Year was about to come, and a somewhat scary incident happened inside the domestic entertainment circle - it was not a big deal, and probably wouldn't spread to the outside world, but inside the entertainment circle, it was really shocking.
For the seventh consecutive year, Huaxia TV invited Liao Liao and other Minghu singers to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, but Liao Liao, Zhou Mo and He Runqing refused again without hesitation.
It is currently confirmed that Zhou Ye will sing together for one minute, Wang Nanhao will also be one minute, Wang Jingxue will be solo this year, and Xie Bing will not be able to.
On the side of Minghu Culture, in fact, they hope to send a group of newcomers to the company, but Huaxia TV is unwilling to always help Minghu Culture to promote newcomers, especially for the few people who came out of "Super Girl". They are not welcome, so seeing that the Spring Festival is almost here, they are still seeing each other.
Then, at this moment, Hunan Satellite TV suddenly sent more than a dozen invitations in one go.
HUNAN Satellite TV is going to hold a program called "Spring Festival Gala New Year's Eve Song Concert". It will be broadcast live, and the invitations received are all asking for two songs for one person, and the quotation is very scary.
Liao Liao, ten million! One Chinese song and one English song are required.
Zhou Mo, six million! If Li Shesheng is on stage together with Li Shesheng, it will be 12 million!
Well, in terms of subtraction, the appearance fee of Li Shesheng, who is under one year old, is worth six million!
He Runqing, six million!
But because Miss Li Cha hadn't been exposed yet, the other party didn't ask for anything else.
Then, Xie Bing five million! Wang Jingxue five million!
Bai Yujing and Zhu Qiang are a couple, five million!
He Yingyu and Zhou Zhiyu count as a couple, six million!
Liu Yan and Zhao Qing are a couple, five million!
In addition, Zhou Ye, Zhuang Meiyue, Gerileng, Zhao Yuan, and Wang Nanhao also received offers!
As for the top three of the past two "Super Girls", because they all debuted from HUNAN Satellite TV, and so far, their performance contracts are still under the name of the performance company jointly controlled by Minghu Culture and HUNAN Satellite TV. It's not high, but it's normal.
Of course, none of them cost as much as the Big Four beauties—twelve million!
In addition, the other party also gave an optional plan. If Li Qian is willing to appear on the stage with Zhou Mo at the same time, and the two of them hold the eldest prince of the Li family, then the three of them are worth 20 million yuan!
In other words, HUNAN Satellite TV wants to catch all the performance capabilities of Minghu Culture!
And for this, they actually plan to spend as much as 70 to 80 million performance fees!
This is really scary!
These domestic singers and popular film and television stars, although they do like to go to the Spring Festival Gala of major TV stations to show their faces during the Chinese New Year, but the appearance fee, even if it is Liao Liao, is the highest. It's about three million yuan, and most other ordinary singers and movie stars are under one or two million yuan.
But this time, HUNAN Satellite TV went crazy!
Or it can be said that the repeated increase in the past two consecutive years has caused the advertising fees of HUNAN Satellite TV to rise again and again, and their income has risen sharply for two consecutive years-they have plenty of money!
Although Li Qian was also surprised, he didn't bother to call Tan Dezhang, so Qi Jie made the call. Tan Dezhang laughed when he received the call.
He said: "Anyway, the sponsors are responsible for paying the big bucks. We are going to play a little bigger this time! The Spring Festival Gala has been prestige for 20 or 30 years, and it is time to accept a little challenge! Besides... I know, Qianer must be angry with me Otherwise, you won’t be able to make this call. You tell him that I already know about his wedding. Those celebrities in the company can be regarded as my elder brother. I apologize to him and gave him a bride price in advance. In addition, please tell him for me that I am in charge of a TV station after all, and I have to pay for it. Considering the interests of the TV station!"
The call was made in Li Qian's office, and Qi Jie was still on the speakerphone. These words fell into Li Qian's ears clearly without repeating them.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Jie looked at Li Qian helplessly.
He spoke so sincerely and bowed to the end like this, what else could Li Qian say?
Yes, although the top management of Minghu Culture has some opinions on HUNAN Satellite TV and Tan Dezhang as a whole, although Li Qian knew the inevitability of this matter, he began to subconsciously downplay his connection with Tan Dezhang, but if you think about it carefully, Tan Dezhang From his personal point of view, from the point of view of Hunan Satellite TV, there is really nothing wrong with what he did - if Li Qian were him, he would definitely do the same!
No TV station is willing to be controlled by others!
What's more, Tan Dezhang is such a proud and ambitious person!
Besides, before HUNAN Satellite TV quietly prepared "Happy Boys", although they relied on Minghu Culture's one drama a year to compete with China TV, they have always been actively investing and producing their own. TV series!
It's just that for the matter of "Happy Boys", eating and drinking will look a little ugly!
So, well, if you like it or not, that's the only way.
This favor, since it was delivered by others, and it is not a pure favor, it is really a matter of mutual benefit, so it is disrespectful.
Of course, Li Qian would not go, nor would the Four Great Beauties, nor would Liao Liao, Zhou Mo, He Runqing, and Xie Bing, let alone the eldest son of the Li family, Li Shesheng.
So, let the invitation letter go on, collect opinions internally, who wants to go and who doesn't want to go, then get together, discuss the specific process with the other party, and go!
There is money to be made, why not go!
Fly there one day in advance, go to explore the museum the next morning, familiarize yourself with the venue, and sing two songs on stage in the evening. If you add up to eight and ten minutes, you will get several million. This money is too good to earn!
So, as soon as the small meeting started, there was a small commotion inside Minghu Culture.
Those who have no other arrangements at present and have received invitations, none of them refuse!
Even Zhou Ye was a little tempted, and almost wanted to skip the Spring Festival Gala for a minute, and go to Hunan Satellite TV to make a fortune - although his price is not high, but it has been opened to three million!
To put it bluntly, how much can you earn if you put up a concert with all kinds of pressure and exhaustion?
As a matter of fact, when the news that HUNAN Satellite TV was throwing money at people quickly spread on the same day, judging from the quotations they gave to artists from other companies, Zhou Ye's price was really high!
The Flying Band is only worth three million!
Zhen Zhen only had three million!
Zhao Xinfu, Zheng Guofeng, and Huang Yuqing were the most popular and powerful factions in the domestic music scene in the past few years, and their quotations only ranged from 4.5 million to 4 million!
Therefore, it can be seen from this that Tan Dezhang's so-called "betrothal gift" and "apology" are really true! Otherwise, it would be impossible to quote so much higher prices for the Minghu Culture series with the same coffee rank! This is purely sending money!
Of course, Tan Dezhang may have already guessed before sending out the invitation. Anyway, the few people who offer the highest price and break the market balance are unlikely to go, so, bid higher!
As for the quotations they gave to all the celebrities this time, they all meant to break the market balance—what he wanted was a sensational effect! The more sensational the better! The more surprised the better!
Then, um, Jiang Yiyi was ignored again, her name was not included in the invitees, so of course she was very unhappy again.
