In the dim study, Dai Zhuoqing's eyes suddenly lit up and he became excited instantly.
It seemed as if Ye Wan’s bold idea had a great chance of becoming a reality.
Dai Zhuoqing took a sip of strong tea to calm his rapid heartbeat, "You say!"
“Can I ask a question first?”
"ask!"
"Can you let me know the cost estimate of Liang Gong Ci? 50 million, or... 80 million?"
Dai Zhuoqing's eyes fell on the densely written notebook on the desk.
56 million.
There was silence on the phone, but I could vaguely hear the rustling sound of the pen tip sliding across paper.
Ye Wan calculated and muttered: "With my only Golden Deer Actress award, the salary you offer me should be 200,000 per episode. 68 episodes is... 13.6 million."
"... minus this part, the cost of shooting this drama is 50 million. The last TV drama that actress Lin starred in was a 76-episode family drama, and I heard that her salary was 1 million per episode. After that, she went to Hollywood to develop her career, and now her salary must be at least 1.5 million. So let's calculate it as 2 million per episode..."
2 million per episode, for a 68-episode large-scale costume TV series, Lin Ying’s pay alone was 136 million.
No wonder Dai Zhuoqing said that even if she used all the original filming costs to hire Lin Ying, she might not necessarily accept the job.
There was no sound at the other end of the line.
Dai Zhuoqing smiled bitterly, "Forget it, I'll just pretend you never said it, and I never heard it. Just go to bed!"
“Don’t…”
Ye Wan threw away his pen with a snap and said in a bright voice, "Director Dai, I'll invest 200 million, plus your original filming cost, how about we go all in?"
!!!
Dai Zhuoqing sat in his chair in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.
After a long while, Dai Dai spoke, "Ye...Ye Wan, you, do you know what you are saying?"
I'm looking for you to play the second female lead, not to be an investor!
Or don't turn on.
It takes several years to start eating.
After filming five, six, seven or eight movies and TV series in her lifetime, she can start her retirement mode leisurely, right? Is it necessary to work so hard? "My motto in life is, either don't do it, or do it to the extreme!"
In the darkness, the girl's voice sounded particularly bright and powerful. "We have a good script! We also have a good director! Now all we need is good investors and good actors!"
"Director Dai, you don't want your hard work to be called a money-making, right? Let's roll up our sleeves and work hard to make a great drama to watch while eating, and then we can lie down and count the money!"
???
Why did she seem to be able to achieve something that seemed impossible a second ago? Dai Zhuoqing: "...Ye Wan, it's a pity that you don't do MLM!"
“…”
Ye Wan smiled, "I'll take that as a compliment! Do you think my idea is feasible?"
“It must be!”
Dai Zhuoqing took a deep breath and stood up. "Is your 200 million investment reliable?"
Glancing at Lu Changchuan, who was reading a book but listening attentively with his ears perked up, Ye Wan smiled with great joy, "Must be reliable. Am I the kind of person who is unreliable?"
That's true! Dai Zhuoqing exhaled and nodded, "You've been in the capital recently, right? I'll go and test Lin Ying's attitude tomorrow, and then I'll go to the capital to meet with you. Once we've reached an agreement, sign the contract quickly to avoid any more trouble. As it happens, tonight is the chance for you to regret it!"
Beep beep beep.
Hearing the call being hung up, Ye Wan put down his phone and closed his computer, then walked towards Lu Changchuan who had put down his book with a smile, "Mr. Lu, can I discuss something with you?"
"What good is it for me?"
"How about...paying it with your body?"
"Day and night?"
"Lu Changchuan, you bastard... um..."
