Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 67-Da Tiantian’s investment, I want to be the heroine!

"Huace, Guangxian, Huayi, Tianyu, Huanrui, and Hesong"

Looking at the company names that Lin Wan had sorted out.

These days, Lin Wan also had brief contact with these companies.

At first, after hearing that there was a script, the other party was willing to talk.

Although Bai Ye hasn’t had any hit dramas yet, he is at least not a complete newcomer.

What's more, there might be cooperation in the future, and many people actually approached us with the intention of signing a contract with Bai Ye Studio.

However, he ran away after hearing Bai Ye say that he had no intention of joining the company for the time being.

Or they knew that Bai Ye would not allow actors to be randomly inserted and they did not have much right to interfere, so they ended up returning in disappointment.

In other words, if you choose to invest in Bai Ye, at most you will just have to pay money and then arrange some small characters to play a role.

Who can agree to this?!

And it's a campus drama.
Campus dramas can currently be regarded as a black hole in the industry.

"We encountered obstacles before filming even started!"

Bai Ye frowned. It seemed that he had underestimated the entertainment industry. It was basically impossible for a newcomer like him to fully control a project.

"It's not a complete failure. At least I see that Guangguang and Huace are still interested.

Huayi’s requirement is that they will not interfere with anything you do, help you make up all the missing funds, and even let their big names make guest appearances to promote and enhance your fame.

But in return, they have to sign a ten-year contract with White Night Studios and will provide you with resources within the company in the future.

Then there are Tianyu, Huanrui, and Hesong, which are all similar, but their signing requirements are not that strict, and they don’t force you to sign.

However, they want to bring in their own actors. The male lead won't change, but the female lead must listen to them. They also have their own screenwriter to follow, and the script may be changed later.

Finally, there are Guangguang and Huace. Guangguang currently has no artist business, but both companies want to be deeply involved in the project and have a bet against each other.

At present, it is not an easy task to obtain investment from these capitals.

The conditions offered by these old foxes are all pretty much the same. In a nutshell, if you want to invest, you must compromise and pay something.

"Actually, if you're confident in the TV series, I think you could try a bet. However, if you lose, not only will you lose all the money you earned this year, but also all the money you'll earn in the next one or two years."

Lin Wan reminded.

Betting seems to be the best option at the moment.

Companies like Huace and Guangguang are deeply involved, so as long as they don't change the script or replace the male and female leads, it's actually acceptable.

As for those mentioned above by Huayi, either Bai Ye must sign a contract with the company, or their people must be arranged to go in.

From this perspective, each company has made some demands to a greater or lesser extent.

"Or"

Before Bai Ye could finish his words, Lin Wan's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Sorry, I'll take a call first."

A hint of apology flashed in Lin Wan's eyes. She picked up the phone and looked at the number on it, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

unknown number.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Wan still answered the call.

"Hello? Hello, who is this?"

"Is it Miss Lin Wan?"

"I am, are you?"

This is a work number.

Lin Wan was wondering if there were other film and television companies that could call out her name?
They have been in contact with entertainment companies so frequently recently, so it is natural that it will attract a lot of attention.

"My name is Lu Zheng, from Starlight Pictures."

Starry Pictures! ?
Lin Wan narrowed her eyes and began to recall the name of the company in her mind.

The impression was not very deep, but she did remember the name.

and many more! ?
Isn't this the company that's been rumored in the industry?!

She was still wondering which company to go to when she suddenly remembered a rumor in the circle.

That is, Starry Pictures was opened for someone, and everything is for her service.

Now that the other party came to her, Lin Wan suddenly had some ideas in her mind.

just
Have you submitted your own manuscripts to them?

It seems that there really is.
So the other party wants to invest or something?
It seems that Starry Pictures is also involved in investment?

"Hello, Mr. Lu, nice to meet you. What can I do for you?!"

"We at Starry Pictures have invested in this drama, The Best. We only have one request, and that is to let Miss Jing Tian be the female lead. We will not interfere with anything else.

Of course, if there's anything you need, such as contacting the TV station or the crew, we can help you out. It's just the one request I mentioned earlier!"

Lu Zheng didn't waste any time talking to Lin Wan.

He directly stated the purpose of his visit to Lin Wan, and then added, "The conditions I offer are probably impossible for any company you have contacted before, right?!
We at Starlight Pictures are wealthy, and we don't mind losing a small amount. The main thing is that Miss Jing Tian likes the script. As long as we give her the female lead, we'll take your word for everything else!"

shit
Is this a wealthy man?!
Bai Ye was also secretly shocked when he heard this. What's the difference between this and a coal boss?!
This instantly made Bai Ye's original desire to find Tan Songyun less intense.

If it's just a school drama, then you don't need to have superb acting skills.
This means that all the money is given to you in a package, and you don’t even have to sign a contract, and they don’t interfere with your creation. He is simply the God of Wealth.

"Wait a moment, let me ask Bai Ye."

"Okay, you guys can chat first, and then just call me at this number!"

"Ok."

After Lin Wan finished speaking, she hung up the phone and looked at Bai Ye.

Obviously, she was a little tempted at this time, but the final decision was in Bai Ye's hands.

In fact, she really thought that finding Jingtian was the right choice.

Not to mention that this time the investment can be obtained directly, if we can connect with Starry Pictures, we will never be short of investment in the future.

"what do you think?"

"I'm a bit conflicted. Do you think Jing Tian's acting skills will ruin this TV series?"

Bai Ye has high hopes for the best of us, so if he finds an actor who is not very suitable, it doesn't seem to be a good idea.

"Take a look at her information first. I suggest you agree to it. After all, they offer too much!"

Lin Wan also knew what Bai Ye was worried about.

But there is no way.
Who told Jing Tian to give so much? She really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Why refuse in this situation? If I had to refuse, of course I would just agree!
But it was useless for her to be anxious. The key was what Bai Ye thought.

"Okay, I think she's the one to choose. After all, she's pretty good-looking, and I don't have any other ideas about the investment. I just want to cast a female lead, so let her be the female lead. At worst, we can just tweak her acting skills later!"

This is simply an angel investor.

After looking at Jing Tian's photo, Bai Ye felt that he had no reason to refuse.

First of all, they pay money and only want a female lead, and then they don't interfere with anything else, and they can even provide various conveniences in the later stages.

In Bai Ye's opinion, the resources they provide are definitely higher than those of the original heroine Tan Songyun.

No matter what you say, first of all, Tan Songyun’s best performance in Us was several years later.

Her acting skills now probably can’t reach the level she will have in a few years, but her condition is definitely better than a few years later, after all, she is still young.

In addition, when it comes to investment and TV stations, Tan Songyun basically has no way to provide himself with convenience.

But this is what Bai Ye wants now.

Because I am a newcomer and have no connections or background in the circle, if I want to be in a TV series, I must agree to the conditions of those big companies.

The conditions offered by Starry Pictures are the most acceptable to Bai Ye.

That is to say, change the heroine.

And after reading Jing Tian's information, he felt that it was okay, not too bad, and it was not like arranging for someone like Aunt Ximen to come in.

If it was the type of person like Aunt Ximen, he would just pick up the bucket and run away.

"Tiantian, why would you choose a campus script when there are so many big-name productions out there?!"

Starry Films.

Lu Zheng looked at Jing Tian helplessly. After hanging up the phone, he was actually a little unhappy.

After all, he had already offered such good conditions, but seeing that Bai Ye was still hesitating, he felt a little unhappy.

The other party gave this book to Lu Zheng, but he didn't even want to look at it.

After all, it was handed over by an unknown small company.

But Jing Tian happened to see it, and she suddenly became interested in this TV series and wanted to try it.

"Uncle Lu, this shouldn't affect anything, right? Didn't they say they'd start filming in December? After we finish this, we'll go film my beautiful boss. I don't have any other scenes to shoot lately anyway."

Jing Tian chuckled. She has no resources recently.

After reading the script of The Best of Us, Jing Tian felt pretty good about it.

Although the production cost is not high, the story is quite attractive.

"Alas, it would be best if you debuted in a big production. This will easily drag you down. Your current benchmark is Liu Yifei."

Lu Zheng said helplessly.

In his opinion, Jing Tian's debut model is actually a copy of Liu Yifei.

In the early stages, they invested money to acquire resources and cooperate with big brands to quickly build up popularity.

Isn’t that what Liu Yifei is like?! She made her debut in The Golden Age, then starred in The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1, and later became the leading actress in major productions like The Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Because of this series of operations, Liu Yifei was directly promoted to a first-line star after The Return of the Condor Heroes, and later starred in The Forbidden Kingdom with Jackie Chan.

Liu Yifei's resources are envied by all female stars in the circle.

Since debuting, everything has been going so smoothly.

Therefore, Lu Zheng also used Liu Yifei as a template, wanting Jing Tian to follow the path of a resourceful person.

The early stage was a big production, and then we collaborated with various big-name actors to pave the way for Jing Tian.

But he didn't expect that Jing Tian would choose a script from such a new studio.

He had some understanding of this Bai Ye before he came into contact with him.

After appearing in a few TV series, he had no one behind him, so he set up a studio and started filming on his own.

This guy, if you say he is inspiring, he is indeed inspiring.

But in Lu Zheng's opinion, it's still a bit crazy.

"Uncle Lu, I know. Isn't this a good time to take some photos? Didn't you say I need to gain experience now?"

Jing Tian did not refute Lu Zheng's words.

There are three reasons why she wants to take the best picture of us.

First, there are no movies lately, so you can give it a try.

Second, the script was really good. She liked the character Geng Geng very much, so she wanted to play the role.

Third, she needs to hone her acting skills. After all, she will be working with big names in the future, and she doesn’t want to be just a vase.

"Okay, that depends on the other party. Forget it, if you really like it, we can spend money to make the other party agree."

In Lu Zheng's opinion, there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved with money. If it cannot be solved, it means that there is not enough money!
As long as Jing Tian really wants to star in this TV series, just give him the money. He doesn't believe that the other party will disagree.

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in his hand rang. The number was Lin Wan's.

connected.

Lu Zheng asked directly: "What have you considered?"

"Mr. Lu, I'm Bai Ye. We agree to your request and let Miss Jing Tian play the leading female role. However, I also have a request. If Miss Jing Tian performs poorly in any way,

The director or I will point it out directly. Maybe sometimes the words may be a little harsh, but that is only in terms of acting. Is Miss Jing Tian okay with that?!"

Bai Ye thought of this after discussing it with Lin Wan.

Generally speaking, directors will support people with resources like Jing Tian.

But this TV series is very important to me.

So if the other party can accept his corrections, he feels that there won't be much of a problem.

If you can't accept it, you have to pay more!

"This"

Lu Zheng originally thought that Bai Ye was going to ask for more money.

After all, in Lu Zheng's view, they have always been paving the way with money, so it is inevitable that they will encounter the other party's request for more money.

However, what Lu Zheng didn't expect was that Bai Ye actually said that he wanted to adjust Jing Tian's acting skills on the set?

"Sure, sure, promise him. My acting is very good. Several directors I've worked with have said that my acting is good!"

"."

How can you be so confident?!
Lu Zheng curled the corners of his mouth. After hearing Jing Tian's words, he instantly felt unwell.

He also watched Jing Tian's acting, and he couldn't say it was good, he could only say it was very bad.
Then why do people say your acting is good?!

Isn’t it because they were paid?!

They have received the money, and you are the investor who brought capital into the team, so you must be praised a lot.

But Bai Ye now made such a request, which inevitably made Lu Zheng a little embarrassed.

After all, Jing Tian has no acting skills, and the girl doesn't even know it.

If Bai Ye and the director scolded him later, wouldn't that undermine Jing Tian's self-confidence? !

How about changing the conditions and asking Bai Ye to pay a little more?

"Do you think Miss Jing Tian's acting is not good?!"

Lu Zheng frowned. He said this in the hope that Bai Ye could understand the meaning of his words.

But it's a pity.

Bai Ye didn't seem to understand at all, he just kept talking to himself: "No, it's just that we have to see how she performs on the set. After all, Miss Jing Tian has never played this type of role before.

If someone helps to look after it, the subsequent results will definitely be better!"

This guy.
I didn't understand what I meant at all.

Lu Zheng frowned, but Jing Tian next to him instantly felt something after hearing Bai Ye's words.

She felt that what Bai Ye said was not wrong.

I have indeed never played this type of role before, and I don’t know if I can grasp it.

If it is really as Bai Ye said, it seems that this matter is indeed worth considering.

"Uncle Lu, don't worry, I can do it!"

Seeing that Lu Zheng hadn't said anything, Jing Tian became a little anxious and repeatedly assured herself that there was nothing wrong.

After all, I didn't encounter any problems when filming before, so it should be the same this time, right?!

"That's okay!"

Lu Zheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed.

Although I don’t know how to describe Jing Tian’s overflowing confidence.

But since Jing Tian has already said so, there seems to be no point in refusing.

So he agreed directly.

"Bai Ye, we at Starlight Pictures are investing in this. What's your budget?!"

Lu Zheng didn't waste any words.

It can be seen that Jing Tian really likes it, so let's talk to him about the investment and finalize it quickly.

Although I don’t know why Bai Ye took so much time out to shoot now.

But he didn't ask about the preparation time required by the crew or any subsequent contacts, and he could help with all that.

"This drama has a total of 24 episodes. I roughly calculated that one episode will cost about 500,000 yuan, so the total investment is 12 million yuan. We will invest 4 million yuan, and the rest..."

The maximum amount Bai Ye can take out without affecting the operation of the studio is four million.

There is still a gap of eight million.

After hearing Bai Ye's words, Lu Zheng waved his hand and said directly: "We will invest the remaining eight million. We don't calculate the profit sharing ratio based on the investment amount. We will take 55%, and the rest will be all yours."

shit
This is really a case of someone with great resources bringing money into the group.

God of Wealth, who are you?!
They invested two-thirds but only took away 55%. Logically, they should have taken away 66.7%.

And we still need their help in the later stage, such as setting up the crew, and usually they will have to negotiate some conditions with you and take 70% or 75%!
As a result, it only costs 55%.

"This. Are you sure?!"

Although Bai Ye felt that he had gotten a great bargain, he still couldn't help but ask.

"Just think of it as making friends. Besides, we'll directly arrange for someone to come in and give you some benefits. As long as this drama can make Miss Jing Tian famous, there will be no shortage of investment and cooperation opportunities in the future!"

In Lu Zheng's opinion, this amount of money was not particularly much, and he didn't want a penny of it.

Just treat it as making friends. He had inquired before and found out that Bai Ye had his own ideas and the male and female protagonists had already been arranged.

Although he gave the investment, it was considered as some of the money that was arranged for Jing Tian to be given to Bai Ye.

Besides, Bai Ye is a very honest person.

Many people come up to you and give you a cup, straw hat or something worth hundreds of dollars.

Isn't this just pure rip-off?!
Bai Ye is fine. He has invested the budget of 500,000 per episode himself. So, it seems that he will not skimp on money in other aspects.

Besides, it’s just a campus drama.

In Lu Zheng's opinion, the extra 10% profit is not much, and it won't sell for much anyway.

But if he can really become famous with this drama, then the investment is worth it, and he can also be connected with Bai Ye. In the future, when he has resources, he can think of him, a wealthy man.

This is how Lu Zheng entered the entertainment industry.

That means using money to pave the way and using money to make friends.

Few people can resist my style of play.

"Okay, I wish us a pleasant cooperation. I will come to you if I have any questions later!"

"can!"

After Lu Zheng and Bai Ye hung up the phone, he turned to look at Jing Tian and said, "I got it. You can get ready now. They should send the complete script soon.

During this time, think carefully about the script!"

This time the director will not indulge Jing Tian. Bai Ye has already said the ugly words in advance.

So he could only hope that Jing Tian would really take this matter to heart.

"Yeah, Uncle Lu, don't worry, I will definitely perform well!"

Jing Tian nodded and said seriously.

This drama feels like it really suits me. We're all students, so I shouldn't be too bad at acting, right?!
