Huang Lei likes the script of crazy stone very much. In his opinion, this book feels better than I believe, and he is willing to follow.
However, when asked about the schedule, Mengren film and television plans to start up in March
He just took over a TV play and started it at the end of March. The schedule can''t be wrong!
Unless Mai Xiaoyu can wait for him for about two months and wait until his TV series is finished, he can take out his hand to direct crazy stone.
This is obviously impossible.
Crazy stone was launched in March, and Mai Xiaoyu was attacking the summer box office market.
Wait for two months, the cauliflower is cold.
The second cooperation between the two sides was stranded because Huang Lei had no schedule.
Although he couldn''t cooperate, he was happy to discuss the script with Mai Xiaoyu because he saw that the screenwriter of the book was ah Zheng.
"Wheat, where is this ah Zheng sacred? This book has a strong sense of vision. He should be an old hand. Why haven''t I heard of it before?"
Mai Xiaoyu smiled: "what veteran did you come from? He only made his debut last year."
"It''s impossible. He specially marked out the places where advertisements can be implanted in the book. Can this be a newcomer?"
Advertising implantation is very important for film and television plays, which means advertising sponsorship.
cattle × Before the release of the film, the investment can be recovered through advertising sponsorship.
When shooting "I believe", for various reasons, it is difficult to get some kind of advertising sponsorship. Coupled with the time constraints and limited manpower at that time, Mai Xiaoyu didn''t spend that time.
It''s different now.
Crazy stone is Meng Ren''s second film. With the "unexpected" success of I believe, Meng Ren has accumulated some capital and can talk about advertising implantation and sponsorship with businesses.
Mai Xiaoyu won''t miss such a good opportunity to make money. At the preparatory meeting of the crew, he has given yuan Haozhou a list to make a plan, lead the staff of the star exploration department to contact businesses, and discuss advertising implantation, sponsorship and other matters.
Advertising sponsorship is not so easy.
The brands involved in the script, such as cigarettes, beer and roast duck, are good to say. If there are no big brands, you can pull small and medium-sized brands. Anyway, there are many brands to choose from. The problem lies in big companies such as Coca Cola, BMW and Nokia.
Can crazy stone, a small budget film with a budget of 3 million, show enough attraction to impress these large companies and make them willing to implant advertisements?
Instead of talking about screenwriter ah Zheng, they discussed the way of advertising implantation in the film and the precautions when soliciting sponsorship. Later, they simply discussed the choice of actors.
Huang Lei doesn''t suggest that all characters should be selected from cute members like I believe.
The film has no songs of little fish and a Zheng''s spacewalk. It lacks two major selling points and must work hard on actors. At least the protagonist "Bao Shihong", who supports the framework of the whole play, must be played by professional actors, preferably with a certain reputation.
Guo Tao!
This is Mai Xiaoyu''s choice.
Huang Lei agreed.
The same people in the entertainment circle are all mixing in the capital. Huang Lei has a certain understanding of Guo Tao.
He made his debut in seven or eight years and has taken over many film and television dramas. Although no more films have been made in the past two years, there are not many TV dramas, and the main energy is focused on drama performance, but the acting skills are solid, the absolute strength is an actor, and has a certain reputation, and the image is also in line with the role of "Bao Shihong".
The most important thing is that his film salary will not be high. For the small-cost production of crazy stone, the actor''s cost performance is very high.
They forgot the time when they started chatting. Sun Li reminded them that it was already more than five o''clock in the afternoon.
"Sorry to bother you and your sister-in-law all afternoon. I''ll go back first."
"When you come back, eat with me. I asked your sister-in-law to go to the supermarket to buy some mutton and vegetables and have instant boiled mutton in the evening. I just called my students and introduced them to you."
Sun Li put on his coat and went to the supermarket to buy.
When Huang Lei finished calling, Mai Xiaoyu asked, "are your students from Yanjing?"
"No, her family belongs to Jinling."
"Isn''t it? It''s Spring Festival in ten or twenty days. Don''t you go home for the new year?"
Huang Lei smiled bitterly and sighed, "I''m not busy running the crew while I''m almost old."
In the entertainment industry, people with professional background have aura bonus, but this aura is not the protagonist''s aura, which can not help them open up a smooth road and have a smooth flow in the entertainment industry.
Before graduation, there are few professional students who have become famous in the entertainment industry. Most of them still have to work slowly. The female student of Huang Lei is one of them.
Near niangen, he is still running around the capital. He recommends himself
Mai Xiaoyu was dumb. A moment later, he said, "OK, she''s the heroine of the play."
"You can say it yourself. Do you have a heroine in this book!" Huang Lei smiled and scolded, and said seriously, "thank you."
"What do you say? Thank you. I owe your boss a favor."
"This is not my favor."
"What do you want? Do you want me to praise her?"
"You are always full of confidence." Huang Lei sighed. "She is very good. She studies hard and has solid acting skills. Unfortunately, she lacks luck. If you have conditions in the future, give her some opportunities appropriately."
"Then pay and join our company. If she is as good as you say, maybe our company will sign her."
When it comes to signing, Huang Lei''s expression becomes serious again.
"Wheat, I have a sentence that you may not like to hear, but I also want to say. Your company is not suitable to sign new people now..."
For entertainment companies, new agents mean throwing money inside. To put it bluntly, it is called losing money.
Signing a contract is the first step, followed by training, modeling, positioning, drama reception, publicity, media exposure... Which can leave money?
Take the reception of a play as an example. In order to help their artists receive a play, they need to have a relationship. It is likely that more than a dozen public relations people only want to talk to the director.
Public relations... Don''t you have to spend money?
But the price of newcomers is limited. Even if they take the play, the film pay is very low and they can''t make ends meet!
All three artists of Mengren film and television are newcomers.
Liu Tao''s experience is a wonderful work. Thanks to Mai Xiaoyu''s "unique" technique, he surrounded Su Youpeng. It can be said that the two big plays that helped her win the film appointment depended on Su Youpeng''s relationship.
Huang Bo and Deng Chao are difficult.
In order to pick up the play for the two, Liu Xiaoli and Li Xue ran to the crew and invited guests to dinner. It was so easy to help Deng Chao get the male number three of fake drama.
Huang Lei''s suggestion is that Mengren''s top priority now is to concentrate all resources to train the existing three newcomers. If you have to sign artists, you''d better sign those artists who have made their debut for several years and accumulated a certain popularity and fame.
This suggestion is similar to that of Liu Xiaoli. Mai Xiaoyu is noncommittal about it. His ideas are always different from the traditional ideas in the entertainment industry!
"Lao Huang, be careful that you don''t let me sign her. She''ll complain about you later!"
