Chapter 648 New Artist
The next day, Da Tiantian didn't mention what she said last night, which made Gu Wei feel relieved.
After the two reluctantly parted, Jing Tian rushed to another crew to continue filming the next play.
Gu Wei did not return to Beijing, but flew to Zhejiang Province to participate in the recording of an episode of "Longing for Life" as a flying guest.
There is still a month before the release of "Super Time Cohabitation", and Gu Wei's main job in the near future is to appear on some variety shows to help the movie increase its popularity.
"The launch time of "Ashes of Love" is set on August 2, and Lizhi TV and several online broadcasting platforms are optimistic about the broadcast effect of this drama."
On the way, Yang Dan reported to Gu Wei about the latest situation of the company's business.
The copyright of "Ashes of Love" was successfully traded some time ago. The first round of broadcast rights of local satellite TV was bought by Lizhi TV, and the online broadcast rights were jointly funded by iQiyi, Tencent Video and Youku.
This 63-episode ancient costume fairy drama sold a total of 756 million copyright fees, an average of 12 million per episode.
This price is already quite high, even higher than last year's "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and "Princess Agents".
It has to be said that the current TV series that want to sell at a high price must be ancient idol dramas.
Both TV stations and video platforms are willing to spend money.
For so many years, everyone has recognized a rule that ancient idol dramas are easy to produce hits.
To say that the copyright of "Ashes of Love" can be sold at such a high price, in addition to Yang Zi's rise to the top because of the explosion of "Go Go Squid!", there is another unexpected reason.
Zhu Yilong, who plays the second male lead "Runyu" in "Ashes of Love", became popular because of the recently popular BL web drama "Soul of the Town".
From an unknown little actor to a popular male star, he can be considered a top-tier star.
In this way, the top female star Yang Zi, plus Li Xian, who has secured a second-tier traffic because of "Princess Agents", and Zhu Yilong, who has become popular, the blessing of three popular stars also made all parties very optimistic about "Ashes of Love", so there was a copyright transaction price of more than 700 million.
Gu Wei nodded to show that he understood.
He has no doubt about the future performance of "Ashes of Love". The quality of this TV series is good. Yang Zi and Li Xian also have a sense of couple. Zhu Yilong will definitely perform better than Luo Yunxi in the original version.
Not only is his image better, but he is the future Golden Rooster Award winner and his acting skills are far superior.
After the domestic copyright is sold, the company does not need to worry about the follow-up matters. Lizhi TV and the three major platforms will naturally do a good job of publicity and broadcasting.
This TV series that has been suppressed for two years is about to be launched, and Gu Wei is a little worried about the male lead Li Xian.
The original "Ashes of Love" was a hit, and Deng Lun and Luo Yunxi became famous. The character of the second male lead "Runyu" is indeed very good, so if the show is a hit, the second male lead can also eat at the table. There are even many die-hard fans of "Runyu" who are dragging down the male lead on the Internet, thinking that the character "Runyu" in "Ashes of Love" is more suitable to be the male lead.
Now the story has not changed, but the actor who plays "Runyu" has become Zhu Yilong, who is better than Luo Yunxi in both appearance and acting skills. After the TV series is broadcast in the future, there will inevitably be some debate about who is more popular between the male lead and the second male lead.
"How is the casting for [The Untamed] going? Has the other leading actor been decided?"
"It has been decided. Director Zheng originally had his eyes on a male artist from Lehua, but he was deeply tied to his original company and was unwilling to terminate the contract.
Later, Director Zheng chose a man named Zeng Shunxi from a group of young new actors.
This person debuted as a trainee, and his previous agency contract was signed under Shang Wenjie Studio.
After passing the audition, Manager Yang talked to him, and Zeng Shunxi immediately agreed to sign the contract, as long as we could help him get his original company.
It seems that he was not very happy in Shang Wenjie Studio, and he had planned to jump out long ago.
It's just that the contract period is still long, and he himself is not famous, so he can only be at the mercy of the company"
"Zeng Shunxi?" Gu Wei heard the name a little familiar.
"Is he in the "Fighter of the Destiny" that Nazha and Lu Han filmed before?"
"Yes, he plays the second male lead in it"
Gu Wei nodded.
"Has Mr. Yang dealt with the contract?"
"It has been resolved. After I agreed, the company took the initiative to contact Shang Wenjie's studio.
They were reluctant at first, but later Mr. Yang promised to give them some film and television resources and paid part of the liquidated damages. Zeng Shunxi successfully terminated the contract and signed with our company."
The two male protagonists of "The Untamed" have been confirmed, so Gu Wei doesn't need to worry about anything in the future. The crew can just start filming normally.
The original director, script, and Xiao Zhan's "Wei Wuxian" will not affect the final effect even if "Lan Wangji" is replaced.
It is impossible for this drama to be broadcast on TV as a BL drama. In terms of production, "Wei Ming Tianxia" has brought in Tengxun Video, so the TV series will definitely be broadcast on Tengxun in the future, and the online broadcast channel has also been determined.
After landing in Hangzhou, Gu Wei met Liu Yifei who also arrived. After the two were ready, they got on the crew's car and drove all the way to [Mushroom House].
"Just arrived today?"
"I arrived yesterday and rested for a night to adjust to the time difference."
"I didn't expect you to come?"
"Do you think I won't come back?
As the lead actor, I must contribute to the promotion before the movie is released."
Gu Wei shook his head.
"I'm not talking about this. I mean I didn't expect you to be on a variety show with me.
I remember that you rarely appear on variety shows."
“It’s really rare. To be honest, I’m not very interested in variety shows.
I’ve been on some variety shows after filming movies in the early years, but most of them were interview shows like [A Date with Lu Yu] and [Kefan Listens]”
“What about this time? [Longing for Life] is not an interview show.”
“I’ve seen this variety show on TV. I just stayed there for one night and had a meal and chatted with Teacher He Jiong and the others. I think it’s pretty good.
Besides, don’t you still have me?”
Liu Yifei pursed her lips and smiled softly, looking at Gu Wei with her beautiful eyes.
They both sat in the back row. She was wearing blue tight jeans, a white shirt and a denim top, looking very casual.
“Haha, you’re right. I will definitely protect you!” Gu Wei patted his chest to guarantee.
Liu Yifei smiled, took out a hairband from her pocket, straightened her waist and shook her head, stretched her hands behind her head and tied up her originally scattered hair with the hairband, revealing her fair and beautiful face, making her look more dashing.
"Why are you looking at me?" When she was tying her hair, she found Gu Wei looking at her.
"I feel like you've lost weight, Xixi"
"Your eyes are quite accurate, you have indeed lost a few pounds."
"The training before the start of the filming must be very hard, right?"
"It's okay, the amount of exercise in the training is relatively large, mainly to familiarize myself with the various routines for future filming, which is not a difficult task for me.
You know, I'm very good at fighting." Liu Yifei raised her little fist and gestured in front of Gu Wei.
"Yes, yes, Xixi, you are a fighting girl"
The vehicle drove forward along the road, the road became narrower and narrower, surrounded by woodlands and fields, and they were getting closer and closer to the [Mushroom House].
