Chapter 453: Production Cost of 18.2 Million



Is the character established?

It's not just Geng Xiao. If you think about it carefully, it's really the case.

In this drama, Xiaomeng's parents are really petty people.

Xiaomeng's best friend is carefree and a little confused.

The male protagonist is an elite rich young man, and every word and action of his is convincing.

There is also the image of a wealthy grandfather.

Xiao Meng is the girl next door that you can see everywhere. She is a little smart and pretty. Most of the time she knows she needs to work hard, but occasionally she wants to be lazy and daydreams about getting something for nothing. When Li Mengjiao was filming this drama, she had not yet secured the endorsement contract with the dairy group. She did not have the popularity she has today, and she did not have a strong star quality. It was natural for her to play the girl next door.

Each character is not original, and similar characters have appeared in previous TV dramas, but the plot layout, the arrangement of lines, and even the character's every move are designed to be very consistent with the character... This is not something that ordinary idol dramas can do.

As for idol dramas, you only need to focus on the male and female protagonists, and at most add a affectionate male supporting role. The other characters are just tools. Since they are tools, neither the screenwriter nor the director will waste too much energy on them. They just need to give them some roles to advance the plot.

But how can a drama be considered a good drama if it only has the male and female protagonists?

A good drama should not only be impressive because of the main character.

Geng Xiao subconsciously analyzes the hidden plot, which shows the success of the first three episodes. The characters are well-established and the plot is convincing!

Wang Jun rubbed his hands together. "I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean this drama has a future?"

Xie Qian nodded: "Uncle Wang, you should have an idea of ​​whether it will work or not!"

Wang Shuang's IQ is not equal to Wang Jun's IQ.

No businessman who can start a business from scratch is stupid.

The real fool is Yu Wenhao. He can't keep his wealth even if he gets rich by luck. His family fortune comes quickly and goes away even faster.

Wang Jun chuckled and said modestly, "Look at what you said. I dare not draw any conclusions. I'll know after watching a few more episodes."

If a drama is liked by young people and accepted by middle-aged people, especially middle-aged men, then the quality cannot be too bad.

Yuan Fenghui has set his sights on Xie Qian.

Xie Qian's analysis is spot-on. Such talent...

Yuan Fenghui secretly asked Wen Ying: "I want Xie Qian to come to Tianjiao to work part-time. Do you think Xie Qian will agree?"

Wen Ying looked wary. "I don't know how much salary you plan to offer Xie Qian. Don't even think about 3,000 yuan a month. Xie Qian might not agree to 30,000 yuan a month either."

It is OK to give Wang Shuang a basic salary of 2,000 yuan or 3,000 yuan.

They wanted to invite Xie Qian to work part-time with the same salary. Xie Qian agreed, but Wen Ying still disagreed.

——Xie Qian’s brain shouldn’t be sold so cheaply!

Wen Ying's attitude left Yuan Fenghui speechless.

"You don't ask for a raise for yourself, but you're worried that Xie Qian will suffer a loss!"

But Yuan Fenghui was just talking casually.

Xie Qian not only has a good family background, but also has no ambition in this field, otherwise Yuan Fenghui would have brought Xie Qian in to work part-time long ago.

Soon, the second viewing session began.

This time, both Qin Xianming and Wang Jun put aside their prejudices and watched the company's hard work carefully, an "idol drama" that was very much not like an idol drama.

The second screening was over before we knew it.

On that day, each preview session lasted two hours, and Yuan Fenghui screened a total of four shows.

People like Qin Xianming and Wang Jun are both very busy. After noon, they kept receiving phone calls inviting them to appointments. At first, they would go to the corridor to say a few perfunctory words, but later they simply turned off their phones and stopped answering the calls.

No one left early.

After all four preview sessions were over, Yang Xi felt a little unsatisfied: "How many episodes are left? How about two more?"

How rare, Sister Xi actually wants to watch TV series!

Wen Ying felt that the drama was a sure thing, as Yuan Fenghui fulfilled his promise to treat everyone to a big dinner.

"If you want to watch it, come back tomorrow. If you don't have time tomorrow, just wait for Jiaojiao's first drama to be broadcast on TV!"

Tomorrow is the college entrance examination holiday, so Wang Shuang will definitely come. Geng Xiao and Tang Yifeng also said they would come.

Wang Shuang certainly knew that Li Mengjiao had been taking acting classes and had even followed many film crews as an intern producer.

In fact, TV dramas are not as fun as most people imagine. Many shots have to be shot many times before they are passed, and there are so many people surrounding the crew that Wang Shuang is completely unable to immerse himself in the plot.

But the post-produced episodes are different.

The plot has been edited to be coherent.

The picture is more beautiful after processing.

It is so pleasing to the eye when handsome men and beautiful women are in the same frame.

Coupled with the background of the music, it really can bring people into the plot.

To be honest, Li Mengjiao performed really well as a newcomer. "Xiao Meng" and Li Mengjiao herself have similarities and differences. Li Mengjiao is worthy of Tianjiao Film and Television's investment.

And Yun Chen also acted well.

With the character in the play, Yun Chen’s charm is magnified!

After dinner, Li's mother held her husband Li Zhentao's hand and said with deep emotion: "Jiaojiao is really destined to work in this industry. Look how well she acts. Fortunately, we didn't stop her and didn't become her stumbling block."

It is such a pity that a daughter who had the opportunity to shine did not choose the field she is best at because of her parents' opposition!

Li Zhentao was very clear-headed: "Jiaojiao has talent, but talent alone is not enough. For example, this TV series is not her own achievement. Her talent can only be fully utilized when she meets reliable partners. Just look at how many people have worked hard for her!"

Yuan Fenghui, Wen Ying.

Director, filming crew and original screenwriter Zhang Guangzhen.

Yun Chen and other actors.

Wang Shuang and the post-production of the series.

Without any of them, the film would not be completed as it is now. Even if the lighting technician was replaced, the effect would not be as good.

There will be an additional preview on the second day.

After the 28-episode TV series was broadcast, the entire conference room burst into applause.

Wen Ying secretly said to Xie Qian: "Now I have a bottom line in my heart. I will definitely not lose the 500,000 yuan."

It's more than just no loss.

This drama is of high quality and has the popularity of the heroine Li Mengjiao, so it will definitely sell for a good price.

The first choice is of course to sell it to Hunan Satellite TV, because Hunan Satellite TV's talent show attracts a large number of viewers, and the broadcast of the series can be promoted in conjunction with Li Mengjiao's endorsement advertisements, and the ratings effect will definitely be the best.

Of course, if the price offered by Hunan Satellite TV is too low, Yuan Fenghui will not agree.

When doing business, you can never set a fixed goal. If things get tough in one place, there are always other ways.

At present, the production cost of a modern drama is about 400,000 per episode. Tianjiao spared no expense in its first drama, with the production cost of a single episode reaching 650,000. The whole drama has 28 episodes, and the total production cost is as high as 18.2 million. Among them, Wen Ying invested 500,000, Xie Qian invested 3 million, Tianjiao invested 8.7 million, and also borrowed 6 million from the bank!
