"Qiande Brothers Pictures?"
That night, when Lu Chen returned home, he called Chen Fei 'er and told him what had happened today.
"Autumn in My Heart" was first declined by Zhu Minghe of Baolong Pictures, and then the people of Qiande Brothers Pictures took the initiative to come to him. The twists and turns were similar to the story of a novel, so he naturally had to talk to the heroine.
Chen Fei 'er knew the name as soon as she heard the other party's name. "The company opened by Zhang Qian and Zhang De. I've seen them at a cocktail party before. I heard that the two brothers are very loyal and have a good reputation in the circle. If the conditions can be negotiated, it's okay to let Qiande do it."
Lu Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I'll ask your agent to come and talk with us."
The TV series "Autumn in My Heart" did not involve many special effects, so the production cost was not high, but Chen Fei 'er's salary was a problem.
The salary of TV actors had always been a big problem. If it were written into a paper, it would at least be a thick stack.
In the 80s and 90s, the salary of actors was very low. A few hundred yuan per episode, and even a few thousand yuan was a big shot.
Nowadays, with the rapid development of the entertainment industry, the cake of the film and TV series market was getting bigger and bigger, and the salary of actors was naturally rising. Popular idols with appeal could easily be paid hundreds of thousands of yuan per episode, and it was not easy to hire them.
For example, the big film and TV stars Gao Ge and Su Yumeng were quoted more than a million yuan to the public, and the actual contract price was also very shocking. It was normal for a long TV series to be shot with a total salary of millions or even tens of millions.
Calculating the total cost of a TV series, it was not strange that the actor's salary exceeded the cost of shooting, post-production, and publicity. Everyone was used to it.
Especially for weekend TV series, the actor's salary was even more important, often occupying most of the budget.
Of course, it was also possible to hire a newcomer, and the salary could be reduced very low, but how could the ratings be guaranteed? Who would be willing to buy it?
Therefore, Lu Chen could only ask for a newcomer's price for "Autumn in My Heart". Converted into investment shares, the proportion was basically insignificant, but Chen Fei 'er was different.
Her status was too high, but she had never shot a TV series, so the calculation of the salary was very complicated.
Although Chen Fei 'er did not lack money, he would be laughed at if he gave too much discount. He could not afford to lose face.
If it was too high, the partners would definitely have objections, so they had to negotiate and come up with a reasonable distribution plan.
Of course, the joint investment of Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er was more than enough. However, filming a TV series was not something that could be easily done by a film and TV series production company. There were many aspects involved.
For example, the approval of the content of the script, the approval of the shooting permit, as well as the production and post-processing. If the film and television company only wanted to "process the materials", those with the ability would basically not do it, and those without the ability would just mess around.
Therefore, it was necessary to split the profits and let everyone benefit equally in order to ensure the smooth completion of the project.
Otherwise, even if a film company accepted Lu Chen's work, even if they signed a contract, they could play some tricks during the filming process and increase the budget. In the end, the gains would not make up for the losses.
Nowadays, most of the movies and TV series had attracted investments from many parties, sharing risks and profits, and had long established a very mature process system.
As a newcomer who had just entered the film and television industry, Lu Chen had no intention of challenging this set of rules.
Not to mention him, even Chen Fei'er could not act on his own, unless he opened his own film and television company.
In this way, the partners were very important.
Chen Fei'er said, "I originally had a good impression of Baolong Pictures. Since they don't know how to cherish it … Humph!"
The elder sister was obviously a little unhappy.
She asked her friend to connect Lu Chen with Baolong Pictures, but she did not expect that the latter would refuse to cooperate.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "They also have concerns. After all, the theme is different from the mainstream. If I didn't pull you out, I guess Qiande may not be willing. Fei'er, your name is loud enough!"
"What name is loud enough …"
Chen Fei'er spat and said angrily, "I'm not a Jianghu heroine. Hurry up and write the rest of the script!"
So far, Lu Chen had only written the first four episodes of the script, and according to the plan, there were still 16 episodes.
Chen Fei'er had a script manuscript, and she was not satisfied with it.
In fact, Lu Chen's speed was already very fast. Every morning, he had to go to the Borui Club to practice martial arts and keep fit. He also had to go to Beijing Conservatory of Music to attend classes and study. He also had to find time to write the script. Every day, his schedule was full.
For this reason, Lu Xi helped Lu Chen to push off a lot of announcements and made a lot less money.
That is, he opened his own studio and was independent. Otherwise, if he signed with an entertainment agency, how could he get permission? He would have been crushed to death by all kinds of money-making work.
Lu Chen scratched his head: "I'll try to speed up."
Chen Fei'er said with a smile, "I'm just saying. Don't take it seriously. Don't tire yourself too much, especially don't work too late at night. It doesn't matter if you're late."
Lu Chen felt warm in his heart.
It's just that Chen Fei'er could afford to wait, but some people couldn't wait.
The next morning, Qiande Brothers Pictures sent people to Lu Chen Studio to discuss cooperation.
In addition to Lu Yi, whom Lu Chen already knew, Qiande Pictures also sent a vice president and a director, fully showing the importance they attached to this TV series.
However, Lu Chen basically didn't care about this kind of business negotiation, and left it all to his sister to handle.
Now the studio was running well, and Lu Xi's accumulated experience was getting richer and richer, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Chen Fei'er also sent his agent, and the representatives of the three parties sat down and began formal negotiations.
There were some rumors in the entertainment industry, which had always been spread very quickly.
And the rumors were confirmed by a blog post posted by Lu Chen in the Waves blog on November 10th, the eve of the so-called "Singles' Day".
In this blog post, Lu Chen revealed a major piece of news to everyone, that is, a TV series he created and starred in would start shooting in the near future.
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples!
Since crowdfunding to help leukemia patients, Lu Chen has been very quiet. Except for the daily updates of his blog posts, he basically didn't make any news, which made his fans a little depressed.
Even if it's just a scandal! There's always a topic to talk about.
Now Lu Chen finally provided a topic.
The response of fans was extremely enthusiastic, and the number of clicks and comments on the blog post kept rising.
Relying on the two things of "Hero Saving the Beauty" and "Helping Fans", the number of Lu Chen's fans on the Waves blog has long exceeded the ten million mark. As a newcomer singer who has just debuted, his move to develop into the film and television industry is really impressive, and naturally caused a heated discussion.
"Wow, Lu Chen is going to shoot a TV series. It's great!"
"I've long said that our Lu Chen can rely on his face to make a living. Now the opportunity has finally come!"
"Support, support, hurry up and shoot it!"
"Weakly asking, who is the heroine? Has anyone chosen? "
"Compared to the heroine, I'm more concerned about the script written by Lu Chen himself. Can you give me a spoiler?"
"I have a hunch that this is a tragedy of dog abuse!"
"Haha, tomorrow is Singles' Day. I wish everyone a happy holiday in advance!"
"I'm also asking who the heroine is …"
On the evening of November 11th, Lu Chen updated his blog again and answered the few questions that his fans were most concerned about.
First of all, the TV series he created is an urban romance theme, a youth idol genre.
Second, the name of the TV series is "Autumn in My Heart". Starting tomorrow, the blog will continue to update part of the story in the form of a novel. In the future, after the filming is over, the official book will be released.
Finally, the heroine of "Autumn in My Heart" is confirmed to be Chen Fei 'er.
If the news of Lu Chen shooting a TV series was said to have caused a heated discussion, then this spoiler blog post has undoubtedly caused a great sensation both inside and outside the industry!
The reason is very simple, the music queen Chen Fei 'er will make her first appearance in a TV series as the heroine.
There is no doubt about the authenticity of the news, because Lu Chen Chen Fei 'er at the end of the blog post. The latter replied after only ten minutes: I'm looking forward to it!
Plus a smiley face emoji.
Of course, Lu Chen didn't post these two blog posts on a whim, but it was a planned publicity warm-up.
After the efforts of the three parties, the agreement to shoot "Autumn in My Heart" was basically reached. The script outline has been sent to the relevant departments for review in advance. Once it is approved, they can start shooting immediately.
Due to the addition of Chen Fei 'er, Qiande Brothers Pictures attached great importance to this project. Not only did they make a lot of concessions on the agreement, but they also gathered elite personnel to form a shooting crew. Many staff members went to Jinling in advance.
90% of the shooting locations and scenes of "Autumn in My Heart" were completed in Jinling and Jinling Film City.
Of course, Qiande Brothers Pictures did not have no requirements. One of them was that they hoped that Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er would use their respective channels to promote in advance and attract powerful TV stations and video websites to compete for the premiere rights.
This was not a crooked way, but a conventional method of film and television marketing.
Many movies and TV series were sold off before they could even start filming, and they recouped all their costs.
It was just that many single people were abused miserably because of this.
"What the f * ck, is this a public show of affection? Oh my goddess, my heart is broken! "
"Hahaha, I originally guessed that the heroine would be Chen Fei 'er, and I guessed it right!"
"Chen Fei 'er? I really didn't expect it. "
"It seems that the previous scandal between the two may be true. What do you think?"
"I'm really speechless. Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er have a very good relationship. They are brother and sister. Don't you know?"
"Chen Fei 'er as the heroine, is it a sibling love?"
"Sibling love + 1!"
Public opinion was like a tide, and "Autumn in My Heart" soon became a hot search term on Waves blog!
