Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

Chapter 450: Little Star with Black Fans 14

Holy City Story is a TV series.

Let me first explain how TV dramas make money——

The biggest part is selling TV series to TV stations or video websites; the second is relying on advertising placement; and finally, it is relying on small bits and pieces like derivative products or selling the copyrights of certain character stories.

With the development of the film and television industry, the selling price of TV series is becoming more and more expensive.

It’s expensive, with one episode costing up to 10 or 20 million.

And "The Holy City Story" came at the right time.

The IP+true story adaptation coincides with the official promotion and just meets the appetite of this group of TV drama main forces. It is exciting enough and real enough, and several powerful and well-known actors have joined.

It would be unacceptable if it didn't explode.

If Shu Jiao invests 10 million and gets one cent, she can at least make it ten times as much.

The key is that from beginning to end, she doesn't have to worry about anything. She just pays the money, and the main producer provides people to supervise, directors and actors shoot and produce, and there is a professional distribution company for the sales process.

If I don't make this money, I'll wake up in the middle of the night and slap myself.

"Director Deng."

As soon as she got out of the car, Shu Jiao smiled and said, "Long time no see. The last time we met was when I went to Director Deng's audition, and you rejected me."

Director Deng: …

Isn't this embarrassing?

The last time we met, you were still an actor that I could choose. This time, you became my investor.

Who would have thought of this!

"Haha~"

Director Deng smiled awkwardly, "It seems that Mr. Shu and I are destined to work together. God wants me to work with Mr. Shu for once."

"It was my fault for not choosing me. It shows that you are responsible for the crew."

Shu Jiao praised him in a roundabout way.

Hearing this, Director Deng relaxed immediately.

He is actually over 40 years old and has been working in the field of TV dramas. Seeing a new generation of directors slowly emerging, he also wants to get an award to win some fame and applause.

"The Holy City Story" is a script he carefully selected.

He felt it would definitely explode.

But the subject matter is indeed...and it's very expensive to shoot this thing.

He didn't know how much alcohol he drank and how many investors he approached, but in the end, most of them said they would think about it, and only a small number of them invested money.

When I add it all up, it’s still a little short.

When Director Deng heard that Shu Jiao was interested, he organized the drinking party without saying a word.

"You've read the script before."

Director Deng paused and continued, "This time, I plan to invite several veteran actors, as well as the new generation Zhao xx, Zhang xx, Lin x and others. The budget for their salaries is relatively high..."

He is straightforward.

After two glasses of wine, without even having time to exchange pleasantries, he told Shu Jiao about the script and his plans.

Shu Jiao listened patiently.

After a few minutes, she asked, "How much more?"

"At least 20 million. It's not that I, Old Deng, am greedy. To be honest, Mr. Shu, the current pay for a film is... Oh~"

Director Deng sighed, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

I miss the enlightenment period of the domestic film and television industry. At that time, actors only made a little money from acting, and it was good enough to have a role to play. What about now?

"Twenty million, no problem."

Shu Jiao responded.

seriously?

Director Deng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you serious?"

Shu Jiao winked at Zhang Wan, who was standing beside her. Zhang Wan quickly handed over the contract that he had prepared in advance, along with an open pen.

"Is twenty million enough?"

Shu Jiao asked calmly.

Upon hearing this, Director Deng knew he had caught a big fat fish.

"That's enough. Thank you Mr. Shu for your care."

Director Deng raised his glass in a flattering manner, "Of course, if Mr. Shu is willing to invest a little more, the result will definitely be better."

This is not mandatory.

As for the filming funds, the more the better. Then he won't have to be so stingy and calculate how much he spends.

"Oh?"

Shu Jiao chuckled, picked up a pen, wrote a string of numbers on the contract, and handed it to Director Deng.

Director Deng looked down.

25,000,000!

What the hell!

Director Deng felt overwhelmed by the extra five million yuan in the budget. He immediately smiled and said, "No more words to say. I toast to President Shu. I will make this drama well and will not let you down."

"By the way, are you interested in this play?"

Do you want to take on a role and show up?

Or should we arrange for someone to come and take on a role?

Shu Jiao understood the subtext as soon as she heard it, and then shook her head slightly, "I won't get involved. You are an expert in this area, so I will follow your arrangements."

As she spoke, she raised her glass and clinked it with his. "Director Deng is too polite when he said 'toast'. I'm counting on Director Deng to make money for me, so I should toast you."

"But this kind of greeting is too formal, so I wish our film a big hit and bring us both fame and fortune in advance."

The wine glasses clinked gently, without producing any foam, but in the pervasive aroma of wine, it seemed as if the moment of success had already been foreseen.

After a few glasses of wine, Zhang Wan skillfully blocked the remaining wine for Shu Jiao.

The game didn't end until after nine o'clock.

Shu Jiao sat in the back, pinching her nose lightly. "I won't go to the Legend of the Great Tang Dynasty. Let Lao Lin negotiate. The base price is 25 million. Xingmang can give me an 85% discount. I want more profit..."

"Okay, Mr. Shu."

Zhang Wan listened to Shu Jiao's arrangements and then conveyed them.

Shu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly, stretched her hand out of the car window to feel the passing wind (don’t do this in real life!!!), and seemed a little sleepy.

hmm~

It seems like I haven’t cared about her “good friend” for a long time~

She took out her cell phone and dialed Jiang Qingan's video call, half drunk and half awake, feeling lazy and wanton.

"Sister Shu?"

The video was quickly connected, and Jiang Qingan's face appeared on the phone screen. Her makeup had been removed, and she looked fresh and clean, as if she had just washed her hair, with fluffy black hair draped over her shoulders.

And what about Shu Jiao?

The dim light, the slightly open chest, the faint smile at the corners of the lips, the delicate face seems to hide a secret that is difficult to see, with a fatal attraction.

Jiang Qingan was stunned for a moment before asking, "Sister Shu, you haven't gone home yet?"

Sister Shu?

What Sister Shu? ! !

Ji Qiyan, who was about to leave, heard these two words. His already slow steps stopped and he turned his head sharply to look.

Who is it?

Not the person he thought he was, right?

He signaled Jiang Qing'an with his eyes.

Jiang Qing'an didn't even look at him, which made Ji Qiyan nervous in an instant. He walked back very quietly as if he was a thief.

As soon as he saw the face on Jiang Qingan's phone screen, his heart almost broke.

"No."

Shu Jiao said softly: "I just drank a little wine, and suddenly I thought of you."

Jiang Qingan: Ah?
