Starting from Summoning Su Shi to Build an Entertainment Empire

Chapter 133 Business

In less than 5 minutes, Xiao Zhenyang sent back a message, telling Lu Weizhou that he had contacted him.

Lu Weizhou was not polite at the moment, he just picked up the phone and called.

The other party answered the phone very quickly.

"Hello." A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone quickly.

"Hello, Mr. Fang, I'm Lu Weizhou from Spring and Autumn Entertainment."

"Hello Mr. Lu, hello, I've heard of you for a long time." Fang Dong said with a smile.

"Mr. Fang, Director Xiao should have called you just now, right?" Lu Weizhou was not polite, he came here to discuss business, so there was no need to exchange pleasantries.

"Yes, Mr. Lu, don't worry, all the crews we take over from the beginning of the drama will definitely complete it with the most serious attitude." Fang Dong said seriously.

"That's good, let me talk about our requirements first." Lu Weizhou smiled.

"Mr. Lu, please tell me, we want to shoot a historical TV series with about 60 episodes, mainly in Shenzhou Film and Television City. This drama is our first TV series for Spring and Autumn Entertainment, so theoretically speaking, our investment scale will be very large. Big." Lu Weizhou said seriously.

"Mr. Lu, this is not a problem. We have worked with China Central Television to shoot large-scale historical dramas. We have experience in filming such dramas. Mr. Lu can send someone to the company to discuss the specific cost and price."

"No problem, then I will let people from our company go there tomorrow." Lu Weizhou agreed very simply.

"Yes." Fang Dong also directly agreed.

It is impossible for the two parties to negotiate a deal over the phone, but Lu Weizhou has roughly estimated the comprehensive cost of "Langya Bang in Tang Dynasty", Lu Weizhou and the others have calculated that the price is about 600 million per episode, and the total is about 60. Set, the total cost is about 3.6 million.

This investment is nothing in the Han and Tang Dynasties. The cost of a single episode of Han and Tang TV series is close to 6000 million. It can be said that one episode is the production cost of a movie.

Of course, there are not only special effects, but also the remuneration of many big-name actors.

And the remuneration of "Langya Bang in Tang Dynasty" is almost not much, even the main actors, because it is his own company's play, such as Su Shi playing the protagonist Mei Changsu, if it wasn't for Lu Weizhou who insisted on giving money, he would even want it for free Participate.

Not to mention Li Shimin and the others, in the end, Li Shimin and his main actors only settled at a unified price of 50 per episode, while other important supporting roles, that is, Li Shimin's friends, were all paid at 10 per episode.

In this case, the salary cost of "Langya Bang in Tang Dynasty" is not high at all, and the reason why its budget is still pulled to 600 million is that it contains a lot of props, costumes, etc. are selected from the best, and special effects The price, of course, because the special effects are [-]% off, so it can't cost so much, but the external price is indeed so much.

The huge cost is also a selling point of the publicity, so of course Lu Weizhou will not miss it.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Weizhou transferred the call to Yang Qin, who will be responsible for these matters.

"Brother Huo, you are watching a movie here, I'll go out and tell them about the crew." Lu Weizhou greeted Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing looked at it seriously, but he just waved his hand to Lu Weizhou, without averting his gaze at all.

Coming out of the room, Li Shimin and the others had almost finished their discussion.

"Everyone, I have also found a drama management company here. Our crew should be set up soon, but do you know more about costumes and props?" Lu Weizhou looked at them and asked.

Although these are screenwriters, since they wrote the scripts, they must be very familiar with the props, especially the costumes and so on.

"Of course, as screenwriters, you must be familiar with these things. It can be said that they are very familiar with these props and costumes." Li Shimin smiled and nodded.

"That's great. I don't know who is willing to follow along to find some manufacturers of costumes and props to finalize the contract. Of course, it's okay if you are willing to be responsible for this aspect, and the treatment will definitely not be bad." Lu Weizhou said immediately.

During this period of time, he has always seen the work attitude of these people. It can be said that the work attitude and efficiency are really nothing to say, and since these people are all friends of Li Shimin, of course they can be trusted. If there is a position that can be filled, it is natural to use one's own people directly.

"I'll go. I've met Mr. Lu. My name is Xiao Yu." A 37-year-old man stood up from the crowd, smiled and cupped his hands at Lu Weizhou.

"Okay, then I will trouble you, Screenwriter Xiao, with this matter." Seeing that no one else objected, Lu Weizhou obviously had confidence in Xiao Yu's ability.

"Sure, Mr. Lu pays us wages, this is what we should do." Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Everyone else smiled too.

"Since this is the case, it is estimated that Vice President Yang may have to negotiate a contract with Qidian's production staff tomorrow. Is there any one of you who is willing to go with you? After all, there is a person who is familiar with the production team and has some problems, so we can discuss it on the spot." Lu Weizhou Looking at the expressions of these people, it seems that they are very familiar with these things, which is really great.

With so many people, since they can be used, Lu Weizhou really doesn't mind giving them another salary.

"Let Keming go, he is good at negotiating." Li Shimin said with a smile.

A man who was also about 38 and nine years old came out from the crowd, smiled and cupped his hands at Lu Weizhou and said, "If Mr. Lu is at ease, then Mr. Du will go with Mr. Yang."

"Then I will trouble you sir." Lu Weizhou also smiled and cupped his hands at the other party.This person is Du Ruhui, whose name is Keming. I still remember their names, Lu Weizhou.

"President Lu, don't worry, if Keming makes a move, the negotiation will definitely go well." Fang Xuanling who was beside him said with a smile.

"Then Mr. Lu, since we have already decided to form a crew, it is better to hit the sun if we choose a date. We can simply set a time for internal auditions, and our crew will be able to operate by then. In addition, they also have some knowledge about management. With experience, they should all have something to help in setting up the crew." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Brother Li, you know them better. How about you arrange their work then? As for the audition, how about we do it tomorrow?" Lu Weizhou thought for a while and decided.

Mei Yueting's album is on sale today. Although it is said that the follow-up Spring and Autumn Entertainment will definitely follow up, but in fact Spring and Autumn Entertainment really does not have much work in this regard, and Mei Yueting is not the kind of style that is used to publicity. Just leave it to Qi Hong.

Tomorrow, Lu Weizhou and the others actually have nothing to do. As for funds, with the contract with Penguin, Lu Weizhou has no shortage of funds now.
