"…I've only been married for half a year, and my husband's business has collapsed…Look, she's old and ugly, and she still has to sell her looks just to earn a living for her family…"

Before he could finish his words, Fan Xiaopang, with tears in his eyes and an expression of humiliation and shame, could not help but hit him.

Afterwards, Jiang Wu went upstairs to drink chicken soup and make big promises, and two cameras were always capturing Fan Xiaopang's reaction.

Fan Xiaopang had a look of grievance and stubbornness on his face. He let out a light breath and two tears slid down his face. He looked so pitiful that it broke anyone's heart.

There was no drama in this scene. Wei Yang, who had been watching the monitor, couldn't help but pump his fists excitedly.

The scene just now had actually been almost shot, except for the beauty crying. Wei Yang was still not satisfied and asked Fan Xiaopang to try again and again.

So just now everyone was just playing supporting roles, and the main focus was on Fan Xiaopang’s face.

Director Wei called cut, but Fatty Fan hadn't gotten out of the character yet. Jiang Wu had just been acting with her specifically to help her build up her emotions and get into the character to the greatest extent possible.

After a few minutes, Fat Fan ran to the monitor to look at the finished product, and he was a little surprised.

"Well, your crying was not in vain, was it? Your crying was beautiful, but it had no soul."

When a beautiful woman cries, it is not because of her beauty, but because of her crying. This is a display of weakness. Her crying should make people feel distressed, her crying should have a story to tell, and there should be a sense of brokenness that makes people want to protect her. This is the most touching.

Wei Yang liked this shot very much. He admired it repeatedly and even boasted about it.

"Just this shot, it will be indispensable when you look at beautiful women crying in the future. Even if you are banned, people will still remember you."

"Can you please hope that I'll be fine?"

Fat Fan rolled his eyes at him, but he couldn't let go of this shot.

If we were to edit and list all her stunning looks, it would take hours to finish.

But such shots that are beautiful, elegant, revealing acting skills, and visually shocking are indeed very rare.

Just like Michelle Reis wearing the queen's costume in "Drunken Master", Brigitte Lin emerging from the water to drink in "Swordsman", Zhang Min looking back on horseback in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", and Athena Chu blinking in "A Chinese Odyssey", their beauty is very distinctive and impressive.

It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is the best shot in his entire career, but Fan Xiaopang thinks it is definitely a strong contender.

The other main creators were also amazed after watching the replay, and Fatty Wang couldn't help but praise them.

"Mr. Wei is really good at photographing beauties. He deserves the credit for producing so many Wei girls."

"Director Wang, you are too kind. You are an expert. Crystal Girls are well-known in the industry."

"No, no, the disciple is better than the master, the younger generation is formidable."

"Thank you for the compliment. I still need to learn more from my predecessors."

“…”

As the two of them were bragging about their business, other people looked at each other in bewilderment. Instead of thinking that they were bragging, they thought that they were stating the facts.

There is no need to say much about Boss Wei. Miss Wei has been very popular in recent years, and although Fatty Wang is a bit shabby now, he was also a well-known promoter during the heyday of Hong Kong films.

Qiu Shuzhen, Zhang Min, Weng Hong, Shu Dazui, and even Zhu Yin were once considered Crystal Girls with remarkable achievements.

…

After filming this scene, Director Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This part of the plot is very crucial, as it reveals the plight of most characters, ties them together on a boat, and combined with other scenes, it also brings about a transformation for these characters.

For example, the character of Fan Xiaopang was previously a smart and beautiful vase actress.

After this scene, everyone knows that beneath her glamorous appearance, she actually has a very difficult life. As a woman who has suffered an unjust accusation and has to support the livelihood of her entire family, every step of the way is difficult.

So from the perspective of the plot, the scene of the beautiful woman crying, apart from the visual impact, also enhances the characterization of the plot and characters.

Now that the filming is over, Boss Wei is in a relaxed mood. There is no rehearsal in the evening, so he lets Fat Fan wear his costume and combine work and rest with him.

After the exercise, the two chatted. Fan Xiaopang had a strong feeling for the role of the vase actress and even put himself in the role a little.

Suffering from the jealousy and murder of villains and being caught up in controversial public opinion, a weak woman carried the hopes of her entire family on her back, struggling hard in the circle, swallowing her anger, like a white lotus growing in the mud without being stained.

Wei Yang: “…”

All right, he'll just treat this woman as if she's into the show...

However, no matter how shameless Fan Xiaopang was, she still knew that some plots did not suit her, such as marrying into a wealthy family, her husband going bankrupt, and being forced to go out to make money.

"You're not writing about Liu Tao, are you?"

"She's not the only one who went bankrupt. If you read more old news about the film industry in the Republic of China and Hong Kong, you'll know that this kind of thing is very common."

Nothing lasts forever, and bankruptcies among the rich are common. Some female celebrities who married into wealthy families are unlucky enough to suffer such fate.

Their looks and fame are gone, and some are bound by their children and families, and cannot easily find new jobs. In order to make a living, they can only go back to their old jobs, but the circle changes so quickly, and it is difficult to achieve success again if they have not shown up for a long time and are out of date.

Fatty Fan also felt a little sad when he heard this: "That's why I said, it's better to be a rich man yourself than to marry into a rich family."

Being a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family is not easy! She has to respect her parents-in-law, take care of her children, and love her husband, turning a blind eye to some philandering behaviors.

It would be fine if they just gave money to enjoy more, but some "rich families" are very stingy and are particularly mean when giving money. Some even take money from their daughters-in-law.

For someone like Fan Xiaopang, who already has a career and is financially well-off, although her statement of not marrying into a wealthy family is just hype, she really looks down on ordinary "wealthy families".

Of course, if it was Wei Yang, she could still accept it. The prospects were bright, and most importantly, he was a likable person.

"I heard that Boss Wei has become rich again recently?"

Fat Fan couldn't help but ask, billionaires are very valuable these days, but to be called a wealthy family, one must have at least ten digits.

"Where did you see the rumor?"

"News and gossip, isn't Joy of Life going to be sold? I heard that several TV stations are scrambling to get it, and the price is several hundred million."

"You believe that, too."

Wei Yang couldn't help but complain that these tabloid reporters were exaggerating. In the current market, a TV series can sell for hundreds of millions. He didn't even dare to dream about this when he went to bed at night.

"That won't be too low. How about 150 million?"

Read the original text at Liu#9@书/吧!

Fan Xiaopang probably understands the market situation. A few hundred million is pure nonsense, but according to the current market situation and the momentum of "Joy of Life", it is not impossible to make 3.5 million+ per episode.

The key is that there are too many TV stations competing for the spot, and they are bidding against each other, and sometimes the price is unstoppable.

Wei Yang did not deny: "About the same."

"Is there really so much?"

Fat Fan’s eyes widened. Speculations are just speculations, and facts are facts.

The previous price ceiling was only 2 to 2.5 million per episode. Now, the price of a single episode of "Joy of Life" has increased by 1 million. Isn't money money?

Fan Xiaopang is right, money is really not money! The current market is changing too fast, the actor's salary and the price of TV series are like a rocket taking off.

Market changes are not calculated on an annual basis, but on a quarterly or even monthly basis.

Three years ago, the ceiling price for a single episode of most TV dramas was one million. Many first-line celebrities could not necessarily get 200,000 per episode, and the price per episode for online broadcast rights did not even break six figures.

But now, most of the popular TV series cost more than 2 million per episode, and the pay of first-line actors is generally around 300,000 to 400,000 per episode.

Moreover, top-tier popular young actresses like Da Mimi and Liu Shishi not only have higher pay outside, but the key is that they are simply impossible to hire.

The price of online broadcast copyright has increased to an outrageous level, from tens of thousands per episode a few years ago to hundreds of thousands per episode now, more than dozens of times.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Wei Yang. Several of his dramas have repeatedly refreshed the website's bottom line for purchasing dramas, and the entire market has begun to prosper.

After all, film and television companies are not fools. You spent 35 million to buy "Eastern Palace", but you only spent a few million to buy our drama. It's like sending beggars away.

So in this regard, all film and television companies have to thank Wei Yang. In contrast, the platform has a love-hate relationship with him.

Although Wei Yang is expensive, the key drama has good popularity data, and every website benefits from it.

So the heads of major websites cursed at each other while praising Wei Yang for his work. They cursed at each other, but as soon as Wei Yang released a new drama, they would immediately wave their money to grab it.

"Joy of Life" is no exception this time, and it is very likely to break the record of one million for a single episode of online broadcast copyright.

Long before, Penguin Video offered a sky-high price of 50 million, which translates to 1.25 million per episode.

But now it seems that this price is simply unattainable. It is said that someone offered a price of nearly 1.5 million for "Palace 2" directed by Si Yatou, and "Joy of Life" cannot be lower than that.

The first round of broadcasting rights cost 150 million, and the minimum online copyright price is over 50 million, which means it’s over 200 million in one go.

Fan Xiaopang felt that this price was simply unreasonable, but Wei Yang was very calm as he vaguely remembered it.

After "The Legend of Zhen Huan" became a hit in her previous life, Empress Sun's new drama "Hot Mom" ​​had a total cumulative sales of 200 million for online and television copyrights. If there were no second or third rounds involved, a single episode would have sold for more than 5.2 million.

You have to know that "Hot Mom" ​​is just an urban emotional drama with extremely limited costs, and the most outstanding cast member is Sun Niangniang. Zhang Ze was not considered a first-line star at that time.

A movie like "Hot Mom" ​​which has limited conditions in all aspects can sell so well.

It is conceivable how popular "Joy of Life" starring Wei Yang, Chen Baoguo, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan and other stars will be. If Wei Yang sells less, he would be betraying his "conscience".

"That's 200 million less, and there's still room for negotiation later. Add in other copyrights, and maybe 300 million. The trilogy will be 1 billion. Come on, let's get the marriage certificate. I'll even let you raise your child."

Fat Fan counted on his fingers, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he wished he could tie Wei Yang up and take him to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

This is not a diamond bachelor, this is a diamond mine bachelor!

Wei Yang ignored her. Not to mention that her calculations were too general, even if the trilogy really made 1 billion, he still had to deduct various shares, taxes, and costs, and what remained in his hands would be only a few hundred million, not even a "medium amount".

However, he was very happy to be coaxed by Fan Xiaopang, who revealed a way to make money.

"Take advantage of now and hurry up to buy up online literature copyrights at a bargain price, otherwise the price will go up soon."

Fat Fan was stunned, then quickly got off Wei Yang, took out her cell phone and called her mother and agent.

She said that this dog man brought good luck to her. He made tens of millions last time and his popularity soared. This time, before the movie was released, he made a fortune by sleeping...
