After voting for "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" and getting the qualification, the next day, Han Lie signed a contract with Huace and acquired the film and television copyright of "Wei Wei".

The price was 40 million yuan, which was paid out of Shiji Xinyi's company account. As expected, there was no experience.

Investing in movies and TV series as an individual is not a right path. Not to mention anything else, the 45% individual tax that an individual subject has to pay in the end is an unbearable burden.

Han Lie did not intend to open his company in Horgos to make money from the policy loopholes, but he was not so honest that he would continue to engage in heavy asset investment as an individual.

Others will suspect that he is mentally abnormal.

After getting the copyright, it was Lao Su’s job next.

Lemon, which was just established, immediately took action and started preparing projects.

Su Xiao personally served as the producer and immediately recruited Gu Man to work on the script.

The scripts of film and television dramas must be adapted from the original text of the novel. After all, they are two completely different presentation arts.

Text is more suitable for stimulating imagination, while appropriate picture transformation is to constrain, trim and fill in details of this imagination.

This kind of transformation is actually more difficult than many people imagine. Most of the classic male videos are shot to pieces, which is a reflection of its difficulty.

For example, the often-complained character Dou Qi turns into a horse, and the screenwriter felt aggrieved: If not a horse, what would I turn into?

Really do large-scale light wing special effects?

Good guy, if you spend 80 million, you can only get a relatively average effect. Then the pollution caused by the light wings will make the long shots basically unusable, the close shots are particularly fake, and the difficulty of shooting will make the director lose his hair like crazy.

And if we don’t ride horses, is it realistic to ask dozens of non-professional martial arts actors to collectively fight against each other in real scenes such as snowy mountains?

An accident can cost investors their money.

Some people may think that in the final analysis it is just the producer who is reluctant to spend money.

Okay, according to the standards of top American dramas, all the actors are hanging wires in front of a green screen, and the background is all made of special effects. A single episode, 30 episodes per season, a total of 3 billion, maybe it can be a bit interesting.

The question is, how do you make back the investment?

Therefore, all domestic fairy tale dramas are love idol dramas that emphasize plot and light special effects. They are not prepared for male audiences at all.

You can blow the words however you want, pull the coffin with nine dragons, destroy the galaxy with a single palm, open your eyes and annihilate countless timelines...

When converting images, you have to follow basic methods. If you can't shoot it, you have to change it.

As a love idol drama, "Wei Wei" is not that difficult to adapt, but the details are still very annoying.

Gu Man still had to work on "Why", so she didn't have enough time, so Lao Su found a few experienced but unknown lower-level colleagues to help her and create a collective work.

The script started to move forward with a hesitation.

As for the director, Su Xiao tricked Cai Yinong and brought Lin Yufen over.

Lin Yufen is the director of "Sword and Sword III" and "Step by Step". She has been cooperating with Tang Dynasty for a long time, but she is not a contracted director of Tang Ren.

But at the moment she was thinking about Tang Dynasty's new drama "Bu Bu Jing Qing". They were talking about it and just had to sign the contract, but Su Xiao stopped her halfway...

"Well done!"

Han Lie gave Su Xiao a thumbs up, and Su Xiao laughed and felt quite pleased with himself.

Lin Yufen is almost the best director that the "Wei Wei" project can find. Currently, there are only two directors who often cooperate with the Shanghai film and television industry and are good at romantic idol dramas, one is her and the other is Zhu Ruibin.

However, Zhu Ruibin's filming was obviously a bit greasy. Lakes filled with water often happened, and the language of the scenes was very difficult to describe.

The difference is quite obvious.

If Su Xiao and Peng Hu hadn't come forward together and found the vice president of ATV in Xiangjiang, Director Lin really wouldn't have been able to invite him. After all, he and Tang Ren worked so happily together.

This is the ability of a professional boss. If Han Lie relied on himself, he wouldn't even know who to invite, let alone the Tang Dynasty people who could try to gain leverage.

After the director's contract was finalized, no one else did much, and Wu Qilong was paralyzed.

He was confused, and repeatedly confirmed with Cai Yinong: "What? The director our crew has appointed has been kidnapped, and the filming has to be postponed?! Damn it, who did this?!"

Brother Long, I have such a bad temper...ah?! Han Lie?!

That's okay.

Brother Long endured it, but made a special phone call, complaining to Han Lie in a faint and resentful voice: "Teacher Han, that is a key project for Shishi and I to reunite! You just messed it up for us with your words...

"

It was originally a crappy drama to make money. The plot and lines were simply unreadable. It’s just pornographic...

With his heart churning, Han Lie laughed and said, "Isn't that just right? You two should seize the time to get married, get together in bed, and stop spreading shit on the screen!"

Lao Wu was choked to silence and retreated in defeat.

Mr. Cai, on the other hand, did not say anything. She knew that "Wei Wei" was prepared for Nazha, so she was particularly conflicted.

It would be too late if Shishi didn't hurry up and squeeze out the oil, but it was also important to promote the development of Zezhan and take over as soon as possible. The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh, so she had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Three times five times two times, the production, directing team, script, and female protagonist are all OK. The only big problem left is the male protagonist.

Su Xiao did not make the decision on his own, but invited Han Lie, Director Lin, Zha Zha and other main creatives together for a small meeting.

When Zhazha followed Han Lie to Lemon, he was timid, like a timid rabbit.

"Don't be afraid."

Han Lie comforted her softly: "This is our home field. The project was established for you. The director and producer combined are not as big as you."

Brother Lie is not bragging.

The estimated production cost of "Wei Wei" is 60 million, including the 40 million for the script, a total investment of 100 million.

Century New Idea will obtain 80% of the overall revenue with copyright + 50 million in cash.

Lemon will fully assume production, distribution, sales and other responsibilities, and will invest 10 million in cash and receive 20% of the income.

What Su Xiao received was a friendly price, which was not much compared to the workload.

But Han Lie also gave Lemon a chance with a real and super high investment. Otherwise, how could a start-up company have the opportunity to handle a project of such a scale?

At the level of power in the crew, Producer Su and Director Lin always stick to their word.

But Zhazha is the boss lady of Century New Idea, the investor representative, and the core of the project's existence. No one needs to be cowardly.

"But I'm just a newcomer..."

Zhazha is still a little weak. She is very aware of her own level and can't be tough no matter what.

Han Lie was so good at comforting people that he taught her a trick on the spot.

"Think about it, other female celebrities are so awesome when they bring money to join the group, what's your current state?

Fully owned representative, the boss lady comes down to play!

In this way, you can chat with them normally later. If you don’t understand something, just act coquettishly with me on the spot: Husband, what does that mean?

I promise to cooperate well..."

"Pfft!"

Zha Zha's humor has never been very good, so he was teased by Han Lie on the spot.

"How could you do this? You just want to see me embarrassed, right?"

Gou Lie smirked: "You must always remember your position below me..."

"Pooh!"

Zhazha understood, and his voice instantly became greasy: "You are so annoying!"

Gou Lie almost knocked her down in the elevator. After having fun for a while, he was no longer nervous.

…

When the small meeting started, Gu Man looked at Han Lie and it was obvious that something was wrong.

It's hard to use words to describe the kind of entanglement, he hesitates to speak, he is half confused and half numb... Anyway, it is very complicated.

From now on, when I write about scumbags, I have a top reference...

But she was smarter than Mo Bao, and she quickly reacted, quietly giving a thumbs up to Brother Lie, and mouthing the highest praise: Niubi!

Why does Han Liezhao care about me?

If you spend 40 million to buy my copyright, you will be my real father!

Director Lin even opened his mouth to praise: "Wow, our Weiwei is so beautiful! With such a heroine, what kind of filter should I add?"

Zhazha immediately showed his soft and cute aura, and waved his hands in embarrassment: "No, no... Hello, Director Lin, I am Guna Zhazha."

Gu Man smiled and said: "When I wrote it, I actually based it on the school beauties of our Nanjing session, and added some artistic processing, but I didn't dare to think that there are really girls who can be so beautiful - among all the female stars I have seen,

Zhazha is really one of the best, so beautiful that she shines!"

Su Xiao said: "With strong soldiers and a great heroine, there is no reason why our project will not succeed. I think, Mr. Han, you can prepare a celebration banquet in advance!"

A circle of flattery was filmed, it was lively and the atmosphere was very good.

It is true that Han Lie is not familiar with the entertainment industry, but it is no problem for him to have enough money.

Director Lin and her directing team are not arrogant at all, they are proactive and provide suggestions.
