Chapter 263: Isn’t This Investment Worth Hundreds of Millions?

After hearing this, Chu Yunxuan actually had some considerations.

What if it is revealed that he is the author of "Zhu Xian", and then he stars in "Zhu Xian".

Will anyone say that he opened a back door for himself and gained privileges?

Forget it.

Anyway, he didn't intend to influence Lu Sheng's thoughts.

If you are yourself, then you are yourself. If you are not yourself, then it does not matter.

Lu Sheng then said: "Nothing else, three teachers, now we need you to wear the costumes and hair accessories we customized according to the description of the author of "Zhu Xian", our makeup teacher will give you the fastest The makeup was done as quickly as possible.”

"OK."

Then Chu Yunxuan and the others walked into the dressing room.

"Do we still need customized costumes? Can't we use martial arts ones?"

Xu Yue asked curiously.

Lu Sheng said: "Because "Zhu Xian" is a fairy novel, and it is the first time that fairy novels have appeared in the public eye. Most of the ones on the market are inappropriate. I also specially asked the author of "Zhu Xian" to draw the painting. At first I didn’t pay much attention to some of the clothes he imagined people wearing in that era, but suddenly I realized there were too many details in them.”

"The clothes of the sect disciples, the clothes of the male disciples, the clothes of the female disciples, the clothes of the senior brothers and sisters, the clothes of the inner disciples, as well as the elders, headmasters, etc. Everyone's clothes are different."

In fact, when it comes to this, it is enough to see how thoughtful Lu Sheng is.

Lu Sheng actually had a headache.

But he never expected that the hand-drawn drawings of different styles and clothes worn by people of different status given to him by the author of "Zhu Xian" would be so detailed. The art team of his crew were shocked when they saw his hand-drawn drawings.

They all felt that the author of "Zhu Xian" must be an art student.

This also saves him a lot of things. He only needs to customize the clothes as shown in the picture.

"Doesn't that mean that after the filming of "Zhu Xian", it will also be the first fairy tale drama in the history of TV dramas?"

Lu Sheng nodded: "That's of course, because the book "Zhu Xian" created the theme of Xianxia, ​​which has led to the entire Internet following suit. Nowadays, Xianxia seems to have become the most popular category."

"Director Lu seems to be paying attention to the novel industry." Xu Yue said.

"I am a director and also a screenwriter. For me, many times the scripts for TV series are adapted from novels, so I often read some novels. Some novels are really good. There are so many novel authors, so many It will really make a screenwriter's eyes shine, and it will also be a great help to my own creation."

Then he continued: "It's just that the ones I shot before were all about urban themes, mostly criminal investigation, and other things were not easy to shoot at all. When I saw "Zhu Xian", I immediately wanted to shoot it. idea.”

"It's really good. I never read novels, but since "Zhu Xian" was on the hot search, I went to read it. The world view in it is eye-catching." Xu Yue said.

Lu Sheng nodded: "Yes, I have a hunch that in the future, our TV drama industry will definitely produce a large number of fairy-themed scripts. Xianxia has its unique advantages, that is, its world is grander and more shocking. It’s more exciting. Compared with martial arts, it’s so easy to excite the audience. No wonder this book “Zhu Xian” has become such a hit.”

Lin Miaomiao said: "I have been following "Zhu Xian". Many of the descriptions in it are very powerful, such as flying in the air, walking with swords, etc. Doesn't that mean that Director Lu has to invest a lot in the special effects? few?"

Lu Sheng nodded; "Before I conceived it, I had no idea that if I wanted to realize the scenes in "Zhu Xian", the fifty-two episodes of my TV series would probably cost more to produce special effects than all other expenses."

Hearing this, everyone showed surprised expressions.

"Then it shouldn't exceed 100 million?"

Lu Sheng smiled bitterly: "It's hundreds of millions."

Xu Yue; "..."

Lin Miaomiao: "..."

"But if I want to shoot, I have to shoot it well. Although the investment is high, I am still very confident."

They also nodded.

To be honest, isn't this Lu Sheng's bold attempt and a desperate move?

In fact, he didn't need to make "Zhu Xian".

Including the special effects, he didn't consider it at the beginning.

But tens of millions of royalties have been spent. If it doesn't work well, he will feel uncomfortable.

To do it, you have to do your best.

He knew that this was a big gamble!

If the bet is won, the TV series "Zhu Xian" will become a legend in the history of TV dramas, and it will definitely be a milestone.

He was born on land, and he filmed ten TV series, not as good as this one!

As far as this one is concerned, once it is completed, Lu Sheng has a chance to become a top famous director in the country.

As for money, his own family property has hundreds of millions.

On the investor side, it is now a difficult problem.

He was pretty confident at first.

However, once the major interested investors heard that the special effects would cost hundreds of millions, no one voted.

Xu Yue said: "However, light special effects require hundreds of millions to produce. Isn't it difficult for Director Lu to find investors? After all, a TV series spends hundreds of millions to achieve special effects. This is simply the scale of top foreign blockbusters."

Lu Sheng sighed: "Why is our domestic entertainment industry underdeveloped? We obviously have so many people and so many talents at home, but we can't compare with foreign countries? It's because of these capitals that they would rather spend money on traffic stars than on traffic stars. If you’re willing to spend more money to produce special effects, it’s weird that you can’t compare.”

"So, it's not that easy for me to find investors now, but it doesn't matter. The worst I can do is reduce the budget a little bit. Of course, that's when there is really no other way. I believe there will still be people in China who are discerning."

While chatting, the first Shi Wenping came out.

"Wow!"

When he came out, many girls from Jingying couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

It's not that he is so handsome, but the way he dresses is really stunning.

It's not like they haven't seen ancient costumes before, including historical dramas, including martial arts dramas, and some people even go out wearing ancient costumes.

However, the clothes in front of them, which are considered ancient costumes in their eyes, are full of a special feeling.

The whole dress is blue and white, with simple patterns on it.

It feels like a dashing hero in a martial arts TV series, but with a bit more decency that seems to be... refreshing?

"The feeling is coming."

Director Lu Sheng looked at Shi Wenping who came out and nodded with satisfaction.

Although he had little experience, when he saw this outfit, he imagined that it would be matched with special effects...

It seems like the feeling described in the novel "Zhu Xian" I read.

"Not bad! That's how it feels." Lu Sheng said with satisfaction.

Then Shi Wenping bowed in a decent manner.

And Lin Miaomiao began to look forward to Chu Yunxuan.
