In Xiao Yunhai's previous life, there were six or seven versions of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'. In his heart, Huang Rihua and Weng Meiling's version was the most classic.
Especially Huang Rong, who was played by Weng Meiling. No other version of Huang Rong could emulate her intelligence and eccentricity.
It could be said that Guo Jing and Huang Rong's choice was the key to the success of the movie.
Lee Hoon was very impressed with Xiao Yunhai's attitude. He said, "Yunhai, why don't you give the role of Guo Jing to me?"
Xiao Yunhai was stunned. He looked at Lee Hoon from head to toe.
Xiao Yunhai didn't notice it before, but after careful observation, he suddenly realized that his senior's facial features were similar to Huang Rihua's in his previous life.
Lee Hoon's skin was a little dark. Although he was in his forties, he looked like he was in his thirties. When the time came, he only needed to put on a little makeup and his appearance should be good enough.
With Lee Hoon's acting skills, it wouldn't be a problem for him to get the role of Guo Jing.
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "No wonder senior is here. So you want to play Guo Jing."
Lee Hoon asked, "Don't talk nonsense. Just answer me. What do you think?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "If there's no problem with the makeup, then there's no problem."
Lee Hoon snapped his fingers and took out a photo from his pocket. He said, "What do you think?"
Xiao Yunhai looked at it and couldn't help but laugh. He pointed at the photo and said, "Senior, it's really you? I couldn't tell that you looked twenty years younger after dressing up like this. Haha, okay. There's no problem with the role of Guo Jing. What about Huang Rong? "
Du Hongtai said, "It's not easy to find the role of Huang Rong. In today's entertainment industry, I haven't found anyone who is similar to the Huang Rong in my heart. Therefore, I want to organize a large-scale talent show to find an actress who is similar to Huang Rong. When the time comes, she only needs to act as herself. What do you think? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course. However, Director Du, let's put the ugly words out there first. If you still can't pass the test in the end, then I won't make do with it just because you spent so much effort. "
Du Hongtai chuckled, "Don't worry. Even if you want to make do, I won't agree. Old Wu filmed 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' so well. No matter what, I cannot lose to him. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then I'm relieved."
Lee Hoon asked, "Yunhai, if you find a satisfactory Huang Rong, how much are you going to invest? Let me tell you, you can't just give me 300 to 500 million yuan. I'm taking on this show for an average viewership rating of more than 10%. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Senior Brother, why don't you go and ask around? Your Junior Brother, no matter if I'm acting on my own or hiring someone to act on my behalf, when have I ever let the production crew worry about funding?"
Du Hongtai's eyes lit up. "How much investment are you going to prepare for me?"
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' has a much bigger scene than 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'. Back then, Director Wu used about 800 million yuan. How about this, Director Du, I'll give you an upper limit of 1.2 billion yuan. As long as it doesn't exceed this number, then there won't be any problems. "
"As a director, what I'm most afraid of is the investors strangling me. During the filming process, I'll only send a few finance staff to manage the accounts. However, they'll only be in charge of the cashiers and have no other rights. How the show is filmed and how the money is spent will be completely up to you. I won't restrict you in any way. "
Du Hongtai laughed when he heard that and said, "If I still can't make a classic with this, then I'll just find a place to kill myself. Haha, no wonder Old Wu said that the easiest show he's ever filmed in his life was' The Smiling, Proud Wanderer 'with you. However, after filming,' The Smiling, Proud Wanderer 'was also the one with the most pressure. "
Xiao Yunhai asked in confusion, "Why?"
Du Hongtai said, "You trust us so much. If the final viewership rating isn't ideal and we let you suffer a loss, how can we face you in the future? I truly feel that way now. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Actually, there's no need to feel any pressure. 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' has more than 50 million fans. They alone are enough to support the viewership rating of this TV series. "
Lee Hoon said, "However, success and failure are all because of the same person. If this show doesn't go well with them, I'm afraid Director Du and I will drown in the fans' saliva. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's true. Alright, we're done talking about business. Let's hurry up and serve the dishes. I'm starving now. "
Du Hongtai slapped his head and said, "Look at me. I'm so happy that I forgot to eat."
Both the guests and the host enjoyed the meal to their hearts' content.
Before leaving, Xiao Yunhai even signed a few autographs for Du Hongtai's daughter.
Just as he returned to the villa, Zhao Zhen called and said that he wanted to treat him to a meal.
Xiao Yunhai knew that this kid was definitely preparing to film 'iPartment 2' and was asking him for money.
Therefore, Xiao Yunhai said, "Forget about the meal. Tell me, how much does' iPartment 2 'cost? "
Zhao Zhen chuckled and said, "Since we're all second-tier and above celebrities now, we're not cheap. So, it'll cost about 55 million. Senior, I'll show you the list later. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "No need. I'll give you 65 million. We're all classmates. Don't let anyone lose out."
Xiao Yunhai knew very well that after the first 'iPartment' went viral online, the actors in it became popular as well. Lin Lu was needless to say. For example, Zhao Ke, who played Hu Yifei, was almost an A-list celebrity.
Therefore, when Zhao Zhen asked them to film another show, it wouldn't be as simple as a package price of tens of thousands. It would be calculated by episode.
According to Xiao Yunhai's original calculations, this movie would require about 70 million to be filmed, but he didn't expect that Zhao Zhen's offer would only be 55 million. This made Xiao Yunhai somewhat uncertain in his heart, so he added another 10 million to his offer.
In fact, Xiao Yunhai didn't think about it. Other directors had always been very careful with their spending when filming, wishing that they could split one yuan into two. However, he was the complete opposite when filming. He didn't care about money at all. Naturally, the numbers he calculated were worlds apart from Zhao Zhen's.
Zhao Zhen laughed when he heard Xiao Yunhai adding another 10 million.
His senior was really interesting. Other investors were trying their best to save money, but his senior was afraid that he wouldn't have enough and wanted to give him another 10 million.
How much trust did he have in him?
Thinking of that, Zhao Zhen suddenly felt a little touched and said, "Senior Xiao, we don't need so much money."
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "It's okay. Just send the rest back to me. Zhao Zhen, this show will be completely directed by you. Whether it's good or bad, it'll depend on your ability. Do your best. I'll be waiting for you at Hanhai. "
Zhao Zhen said, "Senior Xiao, don't worry. I definitely won't let you down."
The two talked about the filming crew for a while more before hanging up.
