1979 Golden Age

Photo studio.

It was arranged into a single dormitory for girls.

In addition to the pink decoration, some cute clothes and dolls, there is also a poster of Bruce Lee on the wall. There is a nunchuck on the table below the poster, and there are footballs and basketballs on the ground... which shows that the owner Unusual hobbies.

Li Saifeng was wearing a vest and shorts, exposing her strong thighs, and was lying on the bed as if sleeping.

Liang Jiahui is dressed in Qing Dynasty official uniform.

In the setting of the original version of "Happy Ghost", Zhu Xiucai was a down-and-out scholar who stole an official uniform and hanged himself. Then he bragged in front of the girl and said that he was the second best. This is very illogical. Did he just steal the official uniform casually? !

Chen Qi changed it. When he first appeared on the scene, he was dressed in rags. In order to avoid embarrassment, he used magic to change into an official uniform.

Liang Jiahui played the role of emperor in mainland China, so he shaved his head, which was convenient for styling.

He is very thin now, and when he puts on his clothes, he looks like a scholar.

I saw him standing in the room. He first saw the sleeping Li Saifeng, her exposed waist and thighs, and quickly covered his eyes: "Oh, see no evil! See no evil! This woman is wearing revealing clothes and does not know how to behave. Could it be from somewhere? Brothel?"

Then I looked around again, saw a poster of Bruce Lee, and learned some postures from it.

When a ghost from the Qing Dynasty comes to modern times, he is traveling through time! It's a very interesting setting, but it's a pity that the original version of "Happy Ghost" didn't show this element, so Chen Qi added some.

Liang Jiahui searched around and found the place strange, so he turned to Li Saifeng and woke him up.

"Girl, this young man is so polite!"

"ah!!!"

"Girl, please don't scream!"

"Girl, Xiaosheng just wants to ask something!"

"Don't come over here!"

A beautiful girl saw a guy wearing Qing Dynasty official uniform in her room in the middle of the night. Of course she screamed at the top of her lungs. She jumped out of bed and picked up her nunchucks: "Who are you? I'm warning you, I have practiced kung fu, my master is Bruce Lee!”

As he said that, he hummed and played with the nunchucks.

And her character is that of a half-assed sports girl, who is not good at anything she practices, hits her head with a bang, and screams ouch ouch.

"Girl, are you okay? Do you want to take a rest?"

Liang Jiahui had a very greasy voice that deserved a beating, but his face was serious, so he became more and more worthy of a beating.

"Click!"

"OK!"

Lin Lingdong shouted stop and couldn't help but nodded. This actor is really good.

Zhu Xiucai's comedy style is not very exaggerated, and Liang Jiahui is very precise in his acting. When he plays comedies, he can be very crazy, such as "East and West", or very restrained, such as "92 Black Rose".

Anyway, it’s handy.

Among Hong Kong's first-line male stars, the ones who are most unrestrained when filming comedies are Andy Lau and Lai Ming. Jacky Cheung and Tony Leung are both very open-minded.

The shoot went well.

During lunch, Chen Qi called Liang Jiahui over and asked, "How is Director Li doing there?"

"Fortunately, he is planning something big."

"What's the big deal?"

Liang Jiahui looked around and whispered: "Director Li spent hundreds of thousands to build the Old Summer Palace Flood. The staff at Beijing Film Studio were very excited. Little did they know that Director Li built this just to burn it down."

"Wow, then he will definitely be reported!" Chen Qi said with a smile.

"I think too..."

Liang Jiahui responded, then felt something was wrong and said, "I mean, I have been filming in the mainland for a few months, and I feel that the staff there are very strict and serious in their thinking."

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with it."

Chen Qi smiled and said, "I'll let Lin Lingdong focus on filming your scenes, and he can go back in half a month."

"Well, I'm fine!"

Liang Jiahui was borrowed for a total of two months, not two consecutive months. He had to leave after filming and would come back after Tsui Hark finished "Tai Chi 3" and "Shanghai Nights".

Just as he was talking, Xiao Mo suddenly came over and said, "Brother Qi, the belt for Meiling has arrived."

"good!"

Chen Qi and Liang Jiahui waved their hands and left the studio first.

…………

Chen Qi requested that it be completed in one month, but now more than 20 days have passed, and it is still less than a month.

He watched it first, and then ran to ATV to find Li Zhuanglie. Li Zhuanglie was surprised that he had brought an episode of cartoons, but Qiu Degen had given instructions first, so he had no choice but to watch it.

There is no opening or ending, and it is 2 and a half minutes long.

"Dear children and adults, how are you? My name is YY, I am a robot... I am the host of the Idiom Action Gallery!"

"YY, who did you say was the host just now?"

Dr. Panda comes out.

These two figures have basically no movement. The robot doesn't even have a mouth, only the two antennas on its head move around.

"Ah, doctor, of course it's you!"

"Hee hee, does this count as a fake show of force?"

This episode is about the power of a fox pretending to be a tiger, a very rough tiger and a very rough fox. The background is motionless, and Barabala mainly relies on dubbing.

But Li Zhuanglie took it in and took it seriously.

In just 2 and a half minutes, the idiom of a fox pretending to be a tiger is powerful was expressed very completely and interestingly. At the end, Dr. Panda also summarized it.

"We use the metaphor of relying on the power of others to dominate, or cheating... So we must not be like this..."

The quality is not bad. The key is that the meaning is clear and the culture is correct. If you show it to children, even parents won’t say anything. Maybe the relevant parent organization will give it a commendation...

Li Zhuanglie had a good idea and asked: "How many episodes do you have?"

"How many episodes do you want? There are endless idioms. You can do whatever you want. How about a hundred episodes?"

"No, no, I can't order so many at once. Can I order 15 episodes first?"

"Alright!"

"What about the price?"

"If you don't want the copyright, it's 6,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode! But I can share the copyright with you. It's 8,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode. You're responsible for distributing it overseas, and we'll share the proceeds equally."

Li Zhuanglie quickly settled his accounts.

No copyright required, 15 episodes will cost 90,000 Hong Kong dollars, and 100 episodes will cost 600,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Copyright sharing costs 800,000 Hong Kong dollars for 100 episodes, but the TV station has a long-term program that can show 2 episodes a day for 50 days. It can charge GG fees, and it will be a net profit if it is distributed overseas.

This kind of cartoon has no political consciousness, and Chinese TV stations including Taiwan are all potential audiences.

TV stations rely on GG to make money.

At present, the average cost per episode for ATV and TVB to produce TV series is around 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and a 20-episode drama costs 2 million. The ratings may be poor and cut in half midway.

Every year, there are a few hit movies, a few that are mediocre, and a few that hit the blockbuster. The blockbuster movies are a waste of money, but they have to be made because the TV station needs to have enough programs.

Because of this, Li Zhuanglie feels that "Idiom Moving Gallery" is very cost-effective.

"I choose the second option!"

"Okay, but making animations is very troublesome. We will send them over as soon as we finish 15 episodes. Your TV station is not in a hurry to broadcast cartoons, so there is no need to set a deadline."

Li Zhuanglie thought for a while and said, "Okay!"

…

After the negotiation was completed, Chen Qi immediately went back and called the branch staff stationed in Dongchang.

"You go to Meiying in person and inform us of the order. You will do 15 episodes first, and it will be completed within four months! You will be paid on a piece-rate basis. If you complete it on time, the remuneration will be doubled. If you finish it one month in advance, the remuneration will be doubled!"

"I went to Zheng Yuanjie for the script. With his ability, he can write 50 episodes a day."

"Go to Shangyi for Mandarin dubbing, and go to Pearl Film Studio for Cantonese dubbing. Don't concentrate on Shangmei Film."

"clear!"

Chen Qi commissioned the movie for 4,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode and made at least double the profit when it was resold.

Cheap labor in the mainland is the key to his ability to do this. It is also the basic factor for him to take work from Hong Kong and overseas and subcontract it to the mainland.

This is a bit of a waste of content, and giving it 4 months is already considering the various restrictions imposed by Meiying, so it is extra tolerant. According to mature assembly line operations, 10 episodes can be produced in a month, and 10 episodes only last about 20 minutes.

Chen Qi knew that Mark Xuan and Wang Borong were in trouble, but in the face of absolute salary, he believed in people's intelligence more.

(There will be more tonight...)
