Chapter 186 Final Makeup Photos (24)

In fact, Tang Ren's recent revenue situation is not very good. "Legend of Heaven and Earth Lotus Lantern" has started high but declined...

Otherwise, we wouldn’t have made three dramas in one year, "The Unparalleled", "West Street Boy" and "Dandelion"...

The revenue of "The Unparalleled" is not bad, after all, Zhang Weijian is currently popular;

"West Street Boy" made a small profit, this is a customized drama of Sanli Channel;

"Dandelion" lost so much blood that it couldn't be sold at all!

What's even worse is that even the DVD rights can't be sold - the starring brother Hu is not famous!

By the way, the failure of "Legend of Heaven and Earth Lotus Lantern" made Tang Ren temporarily give up the idea of ​​"Seven Fairies"...

Originally I was planning to make a trilogy - "The Legend of Heaven and Earth: The Fish Mermaid", "Lotus Lantern", "Seven Fairies"...

Of course, later "Sword of Immortals" became a hit, and the story of "Seven Fairies" was rearranged, starring Hu Ge, and was still filmed - "Flying Fairies"...

Let’s talk about “Dandelion”…

It was because the lead actor was not famous and could not be sold, so she was very hesitant.

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Liu Yifei is very famous. She is Wang Yuyanai in "Dragon Movie"!"

Cai Yinong frowned: "...I'm afraid one of hers won't be enough!"

Shen Xudong simply told the truth: "The most important thing is quality. Our company has a good relationship with BJ station... It can be premiered on BJ station... As long as the quality is passed, you don't have to worry too much about distribution!"

"Didn't you say that games are not allowed above..."

"It can be broadcast on local stations. There are hundreds of local stations across the country. And as long as the quality is decisive, the audio and video copyright alone will be enough to recoup the cost!"

"...Are you so confident in "Sword of Immortal"?"

Shen Xudong smiled: "If I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't invest in this drama!"

Hearing Shen Xudong's affirmation, Brother Hu glanced at him gratefully. Cai Yinong thought for a moment and then made the final decision: "Then I will use Brother Hu!"

"Li Xiaoyao has made the selection... can we almost start filming?"

"Well, the exterior scene is almost done. Wait a few days for them to arrive. We will take a final makeup photo and start filming on the 27th!"

As she spoke, Cai Yinong stood up and prepared to leave. She probably had other things to do. Before leaving, she told Brother Hu: "This is our screenwriter. Talk to him more about Li Xiaoyao!"

Brother Hu quickly agreed...

…

Shen Xudong vs. Hu Ge...

It's not admiration, just a slight affection.

He is not Pepper!

In his opinion, Brother Hu is an actor with relatively high professionalism and doesn't have so many troubles...

Let’s be honest, don’t scold the drama “County Party Committee Courtyard” by saying that its bad plot and bad setting are not up to the standards of a major drama.

You guys are so ignorant. Is this drama dedicated to you?

Ahem...

Shen Xudong chatted with him for a while and determined that Li Xiaoyao's background was youthful and chivalrous. Of course, he was not chivalrous enough when he first appeared on the scene and was just a careless little gangster - Li Xiaoyao was the young master of the inn, that is, It is very important to say that he has no worries about food and clothing!

Li Xiaoyao can walk the cat and play with the dog all day long, go out to play when he wakes up, and go home to eat when he is hungry. I also have to help take care of the inn, but even if I don't help, it doesn't matter.

"The entire Fairy Sword is the process of Li Xiaoyao's gradual growth, a process of physical and mental maturity. Whether it is the gradual establishment of three views, the gradual maturity of behavior, or the gradual stability of his behavior, it is all transformation and a process of growing up."

"You should slowly experience it...I can't tell!"

After a brief chat, Shen Xudong went upstairs...

Brother Hu returned to his room feeling anxious.

…

How was the sales of "Sword of Immortal"?

Let's put it this way, Shanghai Media and Television Center is optimistic about the appeal of this drama among game users, and hopes to use the influence of the game to drive the TV series' ratings, so it bought the rights to broadcast the drama in Shanghai for 15 consecutive years.

15 years!

It must have been earned.

Otherwise, after "Sword of Immortal", Tang Ren would not be able to film "Young General of the Yang Family" and "The Condor Shooting"...

Moreover, "The First Sword" is a series that has been replayed many times and is an old classic. I heard that in 2021, it will still receive a copyright share of 3 million...

How valuable is the classic old drama? Let’s put it this way. The copyright of “Bright Sword” on Station B expired, and then Toutiao bought it and broadcast it on Xigua Video. How much do you think it cost?

In fact, Shen Xudong's style doesn't match Tang Ren's...

Tang Ren's dramas belong to ancient puppets, costume idol dramas.

After all, it’s still an idol drama!

Although Shen Xudong doesn't mind writing plots for some idol dramas, he still has some resistance in his heart...

Evil girl, rotten egg; Cai Ya, pig woman...

This is too motorcycle...

Therefore, after "Sword and Fairy", there should be no more collaborations!

…

The casting is confirmed, and the next step is to set an accurate start time...

Make sure there are schedules for the actors to come in and so on.

After all, several actors are very busy...

There is not much difference between TV drama shooting and movie shooting. Both need to dismantle basic elements such as scenes, locations, actors, and shooting equipment one by one according to the requirements of the script...

You are not the only crew in Hengdian, the same scene is made by using time...

When the crew of "Sword of Immortality" was preparing, Shen Xudong knew that dramas such as "The Emperor of the Song Dynasty", "Seven Swordsman", "Zhenguan Long Song", "Yangmen Tiger General" and other dramas were being filmed!

By the way, he also heard that the crew of "The Promise" rented the Qin Palace...

He was talking nonsense to Aunt Liu: "The filming of "The Promise" requires the entire process to be kept secret. I heard that the local armed police force may be used."

"...Who did you listen to?"

"The newspaper, look at it!"

Shen Xudong took out the newspaper, and the title was "The crew of "The Promise" arrived in Hengdian for filming and the confidentiality measures have been comprehensively upgraded"...

Aunt Liu looked through it: "After all, it is the work of a great director!"

“…”

Shen Xudong didn't really want to answer the call...

He has nothing good to say about "The Promise"!

It's just based on the defense - shit is shit, no matter how many years you leave it, it won't turn into gold.

Alas, "House of Flying Daggers", "The Promise" and "The Banquet" formed a three-hit combo, which directly caused many people to lose interest in domestic movies, and even did not bother to pirate them...

In fact, Shen Xudong knew it without reading the newspaper...

The entire Qin Palace is already a restricted area for tourists!

In addition, the slightly higher places around the royal city have been boarded up with wooden boards to prevent filming!

What's even more exaggerated is that on a hill to the west of the Qin Palace, there is actually a wooden wall about a hundred meters long made to prevent sneak shots...

This is too exaggerated...

By the way, Liu Yifei took over the filming of "Sword and Fairy" and was paid 8,000 yuan per episode, while Hu Ge was even lower, 6,000 yuan per episode...

What a bargain!

"Auntie, why don't you go and take a look?"

Aunt Liu is here with Liu Yifei, and she will take makeup photos today.

"...I'm not going. They're taking makeup photos, so why should I go..."

"Go and take some photos, I'll take them for you!"

Aunt Liu looked at Shen Xudong in surprise: "Do you know photography?"

"Of course~"

This is not necessary. Combining the memories of later generations, he still has strong confidence in photography technology - after all, who in later generations is not a photographer...
