Chen Wei doesn't know who the old Luo in Lu'an's mouth is, but he can also guess that it should be the screenwriter of the TV play Lu'an is going to shoot. Moreover, listening to this meaning, it seems that something has happened to Lao Luo and he is probably gone.
Sure enough, Lin Shuqian explained to him, "Lao Luo is the author of this green mountain does not change, green water flows forever. His name is Luo Chaohui. He is also a little famous. Oh, by the way, he is the screenwriter of that" Hello youth ". We have known him for many years and have a good relationship with him. Last year, Lao Luo checked out cancer. He created this film with illness "Green mountains don't change, green water flows forever". On his deathbed, he transferred the copyright of the play to us free of charge and asked us to help him shoot the play. In this way, he can smile. "
Lian Yingying was moved again, and her eyes turned red again.
Chen Wei just nodded slightly, but he was not as moved as Lian Yingying.
Life and death have a destiny. Chen Wei doesn't know this Luo Chaohui. Naturally, he can't be moved casually.
Besides, although what Lin Shuqian said is very touching, who knows how true and false it is here.
Lin Shuqian may have been an actress for a long time, so that Chen Wei always feels that this woman is not very real, as if she has been wearing a mask.
Of course, Chen Wei will not reject or dislike Lin Shuqian because of this. After all, he has just met Lin Shuqian. Naturally, Lin Shuqian can't take his heart and lungs out like Lu an.
In fact, people like Lin Shuqian are common in society, and people like Lu an are really rare.
It is for this reason that Chen Weicai has a good feeling for Lu an.
"I don't know much about your industry, so I take the liberty to ask, how much does it cost to make such a TV play?"
Chen Wei pondered and asked.
Lin Shuqian is still hesitant to answer. After all, she is not sure yet. Chen Wei asked casually just because of curiosity, or did he really have this investment intention.
In addition, she still doesn't know Chen Wei's real identity and how much money Chen Wei can take out.
It's really hard to say about making TV dramas. There are 10 million shooting methods for 10 million, and there are 100 million shooting methods for 100 million. Apart from others, just the actor's pay can be thousands of miles away.
Ordinary actors may get a pay of 1.8 million for a TV play, which is very good.
The top actors in China are basically ten million.
Not to mention the investment in production, publicity and distribution.
If Chen Wei only inquired about this out of curiosity, Lin Shuqian didn't have to say it in detail. It's probably enough.
But if Chen Wei had this intention, Lin Shuqian would have to introduce him.
Lin Shuqian was hesitating, and Lu an said: "it's really impossible to say. There are millions less, hundreds of millions more, and even some large-scale productions abroad, with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. This film" green mountains do not change, green water flows forever " , I'm going to make 40 episodes. If the minimum investment is 200000 per episode, it will cost at least 8 million. This can't be lower. If it's lower, you can't watch the shot at all. Think about it, for an episode of TV series, there are at least ten actors who go abroad. According to the current actor market, even a newcomer who has just started his career and is not famous , on average, it costs thousands of yuan for an episode, but if you have some strength, even if you are not very famous, the commonly known third-line actors will get tens of thousands of yuan for this episode. In addition, the remuneration of other staff, equipment, props, venue rent, later editing, production, publicity and distribution, and so on, twenty thousand episodes really can't be repeated It's too low. My wife is still going to play the female number one. Otherwise, if I find another female number one, I won't even think about it. I even think that if I really can't get the investment, I'll sell my house, throw out my old face and find a way to borrow some money. Then I'll play the male number one myself. I can save money by announcing that I can save money anyway , I must shoot the play. "
After listening to this, Chen Wei just nodded his head gently without any clear indication.
To tell you the truth, the investment in this episode is a little beyond Chen Wei's imagination.
Now the Internet is constantly popping up. So and so actors pay tens of millions of dollars, and so and so actors pay billions of dollars. Chen Wei thought that investing in a TV play would cost tens of millions or more.
Unexpectedly, a minimum of 200000 can be made for one episode, and a total investment of less than 10 million for 40 episodes of TV dramas.
Moreover, listening to Lu an's words, it seems that you can shoot less before, but you can't see what you shoot.
Chen Wei felt some emotion.
With an investment of only $8 million, it is difficult for Lu an and his wife to do so.
Lu an even shaved his hair and beard.
It's not that eight million is less, but in Chen Wei's impression, those who mix the film and television entertainment industry like Lu an are not bad for money.
If you shoot an ad or a variety show, you'll earn millions.
Lu an, in particular, is a well-known director in the drama circle. Lin Shuqian is also a well-known actor. Shouldn't he even be unable to get $8 million?
In fact, this is what Chen Wei doesn't know.
Domestic dramatists really don't make money.
For example, Lin Shuqian is already a first-class drama actress. She doesn't say anything about her acting skills, but after a hard year, her income will be $3.5 million.
It's not as good as those film and television actors making a TV series.
Lu an's income is not as high as his wife's.
Both of them are arrogant people. They simply disdain to go out to pick up private jobs such as business shows. Occasionally, film and television plays come to them. The couple are extremely picky about the script. If they could have found him and his wife, it would not be a good play. Naturally, it goes without saying.
It's strange that the couple can save money only from drama and in places like Kyoto.
Lu an is almost 40 years old. He just saved enough down payment two years ago and bought a small house in the Fifth Ring Road of Kyoto.
Eight million is really not a small number for the couple.
Lian Yingying was also slightly surprised and asked, "do you need eight million to make a TV play?"
Lian Yingying's words mean that it only takes eight million to make a TV play, which is too little. Like Chen Wei, she thinks that a TV play should be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
Lu an and Lin Shuqian misunderstood Lian Yingying's meaning and thought that Lian Yingying said that it would cost $8 million to make a TV play?
Lu an didn't know how to explain for a moment. He stared at Chen Wei and Lian Yingying.
Lin Shuqian frowned slightly.
It seems that in the eyes of Miss Lian, eight million is not a small amount.
This made Lin Shuqian slightly disappointed.
