Everyone listened to Tan Mowanwan's story.
It seems that there really is such a world where danger and opportunity coexist.
There really is such a story.
There really is a group of people who, despite having an astonishing lifespan, are also in danger of death at any time.
It makes people yearn for it, but also makes people afraid.
I want to experience the thrill of flying a sword in the world of martial arts, but I also think that the prosperity and peace of this human world is not as good.
After Tan Mo finished speaking, Tan Jinqi took the stage.
"Boss Wei told me earlier that he wanted to create a seasonal drama model," Tan Jinqi said. "This coincides with my idea."
"My original, immature plan was to shoot 20 episodes. But CEO Wei said we should keep the number of episodes to 10 to 15. It's not impossible. We can speed up the pace, build up enough suspense in the season finale, and carry over any unfinished episodes to the second season," Tan Jinqi said. "The important thing is that this will improve the quality of each episode, rather than just cramming in extra scenes for the sake of viewership, airing period, or to promote certain actors."
Kefeng CEO Xu Dashi was also there, and he spoke up at this moment, "Director Tan, as far as I know, you've never filmed a movie independently before. You've only assisted with director Hou Yuehai and director Liu Runlin on set."
"Yes," Tan Jinqi said frankly, "This is the first time I've directed a drama independently."
"I remember Director Liu and Director Hou said that when you were filming your first drama, they would be nominal assistant directors and would visit the crew from time to time to keep an eye on things?" Wei Zhiqian spoke again.
"Oh?" Xu Dashi became interested.
Although Director Hou and Director Liu only said that they were going to calm things down, it was probably to prevent some actors from bullying Tan Jinqi because he was a newcomer and causing trouble on the set.
But when the two of them go, they will definitely discuss some things about the filming with Tan Jinqi.
If there is anything wrong with Tan Jinqi's filming, shouldn't the two of them point it out?
Although they did not direct it themselves.
But they were personally instructed by two people.
This play is co-directed by three directors, two of whom are top domestic directors!
And the kind that doesn’t charge money!
Normally speaking, let alone not charging money, even paying money wouldn't necessarily mean we could gather two great directors to co-direct a play.
Don't be fooled by the good relationship between the two.
But that's a personal relationship.
Once it becomes a public matter, who has the final say?
No one can submit to anyone else.
Even if we can really come up with a final say.
These two great directors are not cheap, and we need to get them together to shoot together.
The cost of the drama is too high.
The estimated cost of 600 million yuan by Tan Jinqi only covers expenses; even the actors' salaries have been compressed as much as possible.
As for his own expenses, they are also calculated according to that of a new director.
If Director Liu and Director Hou were added, even if it was just one of them, the cost would increase significantly.
Xu Dashi immediately felt that he had made a profit.
"I will definitely ask Director Hou and Director Liu for advice. But I will still direct it independently, and they will not interfere. Once there is a disagreement, my opinion will prevail." Tan Jinqi explained.
This is also to prevent the film from being completed and performing well, as everyone would think it was all directed by Director Hou and Director Liu, and he was just a figurehead.
Although he directed the film himself, people mistakenly believed that he was incompetent and was taking advantage of two great directors.
Xu Dashi nodded, "I understand what you mean."
But this is still pretty good.
This should ensure the quality of the series, at least it won't become a bad show.
As long as it can maintain a above-average standard, and considering the production cost, I think it won’t be bad either.
Today's audiences have watched too many poorly produced TV dramas.
Occasionally, a drama comes out with a good plot and a decent pace. Even if the production is not very good, the audience can tolerate it and call it a conscientious drama.
It can be seen how much the audience has been abused by these current film and television companies that only care about making money regardless of quality.
Moreover, once a topic becomes popular, many similar topics will immediately flood the market.
There aren’t many themes for the audience to choose from.
There are only a few types of shows over and over again, and the audience has to watch them even if they don’t want to.
Anyway, if you don't watch it, there will be no other type to watch.
It is precisely because of this phenomenon in the current market that Ke Feng wants to take the opportunity to stand out.
It is inevitable that there will be more imitations in the future.
But since they are the first, the benefits they can get will definitely be the greatest.
In the general direction, we still need to participate in the market trends.
Set up another unit to specialize in producing high-quality dramas like this and build a good reputation.
It will surely amaze the audience.
Xu Dashi couldn't change the director either.
After all, the screenwriter is Tan Jinqi's sister.
Tan Jinqi is not some poor little guy without any support.
Didn’t you see Wei Zhiqian staring at you here with a fierce look in his eyes?
There are also two great directors, Hou Yuehai and Liu Runlin.
Who dares to play dirty tricks on Tan Jinqi?
Xu Dashi looked at Wei Zhiqian.
Wei Zhiqian smiled faintly, "You don't have to look at me, make your own decision."
Having said that, how could I not consider Wei Zhiqian's intentions?
Wei Zhiqian obviously wanted to use Tan Jinqi.
There is no problem with the script.
In fact, using Tan Jinqi is not a big problem, after all, Director Hou and Director Liu are there to guarantee it.
Xu Dashi said, "We need all the relevant departments to make an estimate. Then, we can have a meeting to discuss the investment amount, the scriptwriting process, and other issues."
This is how things are done. Tan Jinqi nodded and said, "Look forward to it."
Ke Feng has to make various estimates.
But no matter whether he will cooperate with Kefeng in the end.
Tan Jinqi is definitely going to film this drama.
So Tan Mo continued writing.
I’m just not in such a hurry to write. I write a little bit every day and then make revisions.
A few days later, Ke Feng also got the result and asked Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo to go to a meeting.
This time, Wei Zhiqian did not follow.
He also has his own work to do.
Without Wei Zhiqian, the conference room was filled with managers and employees from various departments of Kefeng TV Drama Division, and everyone felt a lot more relaxed.
"Our department prioritizes the quality of the drama, not the fame of the actors. We've compiled a list of actors with good acting skills, all earning between 50,000 and 100,000 yuan per episode. You can look among these actors to see if there's a suitable candidate. If you have another suitable candidate who's not on the list, please list them and we'll be in touch," said Manager Guo of the Performing Arts Department. "However, it's best to keep the pay within this range. We'll use all the expenses on production."
Tan Jinqi nodded and glanced at the list of actors.
It can be seen that Ke Feng is very concerned about this, and all the names he has preset in his mind are included.
There was no need for him to mention it separately.
"I'll study this list and send it to you," Tan Jinqi said. "Then let the actors audition."
