I didn't want to be an actor

Zhang Ruoyun…

Before “Joy of Life”, he was only a little-known actor.

Although he has started to play the leading role in “Forensic Qin Ming” and “Nine Continents Sky City”, he still has to be inferior to the real traffic - he played the second male lead in “Sparrow”…

In the variety show, there is also the third season of “Flowers and Youth”…

So, if you want to replace him, you have to rely on acting skills and looks!

It’s hard to say about his acting skills, but in terms of looks, Shen Liang can be said to be a typical handsome man. According to the book: Fan Xian is handsome and unparalleled, especially better than women…

And he has a huge advantage - the right age!

Fan Xian is 22 years old!

Shen Liang is also exactly 22!

And most importantly, Shen Liang told Ma Hao: "By the way, if the investment is not enough, I can invest a little..."

"What's wrong? You want to bring money into the group again?"

"No? I like this play!"

"...Okay, okay," Ma Hao was a little speechless: "Your acting career is really, you debuted for half a year, filmed two plays, didn't make a penny, and invested 40 million!"

"Who said you didn't make money? Didn't "Time and Space Cohabitation" pay me 500,000 yuan?"

"Didn't you convert it into 5% of the production cost?"

"...Ah? Did I convert it?"

"Xu Zheng asked me to sign a contract... 500,000 yuan for the film is converted into 5% of the investment cost!"

Shen Liang silently calculated that if the 500,000 yuan for the film is converted into 5%, the total cost is 10 million...

The production cost of "Time and Space Cohabitation" is definitely more than 10 million...

Obviously, Xu Zheng gave in!

Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the shrewd Director Xu to give in...

"He said he was very grateful for your sacrifice for the movie..." Ma Hao was curious: "What did you sacrifice?"

"Not yet..."

However, Shen Liang was ready to sacrifice hundreds of millions of elite soldiers!

So it was this compensation...

Not really, the other party is Jing Tian, ​​not really...

"I asked around," Ma Hao returned to the topic: "Celebrating Yu Nian" is going to be filmed in seasons, and the cost of the first season is 160 million!"

Shen Liang was surprised: "That's it?"

"Well, it's definitely a little less..."

The current actor pay is very expensive, a bunch of big dramas with a cost of 400 to 500 million, "Military Advisors Alliance", "Win the World", "No Flowers Bloom in the Year of the Moon", "Chaoge", etc., mainly the actors are valuable!

160 million...

It looks like a lot, but after deducting the salaries of the actors and staff, how much is left for filming?

Shen Liang was a little speechless: "Why is Tengxun so stingy?"

"Well... there's nothing I can do. I heard from them that the failure of "Battle Through the Heavens" and "Martial Universe" made them dare not spend money on male-oriented adaptations..."

"Then why did "Ever Night" cost as much as 400 million?"

Ma Hao rolled his eyes and told the truth: "They are supporting the son of a famous director. Who told you that you don't have a father who is an international director!"

Shen Liang immediately retorted: "My father... my father is not bad either..."

"Oh?"

"I am so handsome, all thanks to my father's genes!"

...

In fact, there have been news of adaptations of "Celebrating More Than Years". In 2014, the value of online literature copyrights was the hottest period of development, and the copyrights of novels of many well-known online writers were sold.

In March of the same year, the TV series "Celebrating More Than Years" was suddenly officially announced to be produced by Yu Zheng's studio. It is currently in preparation, and the male lead Fan Xian is expected to be played by Chen Xiao.

Of course, it has not taken shape.

In 2015, it was reported online that the copyright of "Joy of Life" had been transferred to Xinli and Tangren, and they were currently preparing to co-produce the drama, but then nothing happened...

Later, it was still Tengxun who stepped in to acquire the copyright and confirmed that filming would start in 2018.

In the original time and space, the filming of "Joy of Life" was indeed not well funded!

It's similar to what Ma Hao said - the adaptation effect of the male-oriented hit IP is not satisfactory, and it can even be said that it has basically failed.

"The Legend of Chusen", "Fighter of the Destiny" and "The Prince of Night" are all adapted to the tastes of female audiences, including the male protagonist becoming loyal and the harem being disbanded in various forms;

"Failure" is the mainstream fate of male-oriented dramas...

"Fighter of the Destiny" has a Douban score of 4.2 points. It is broadcast on Mango TV and the ratings are hovering around 1%, which is average. Few people have watched it. The most popular thing about this drama should be "During the outdoor shooting of "Fighter of the Destiny", the weather was too hot and the young actors couldn't stand it. After discussion, the program team installed six air conditioners at the shooting site to cool down..."

"Martial Universe" is similar. The most popular thing is the sentence posted by the lead actor Yang Yang on Weibo, "A pair of martial arts hands of a literary actor!" and the rumor of modeling;

"Martial Universe" was broadcast on satellite TV in the first season, and the ratings were as low as 0.28% at one time, and the highest was less than 0.7%. The second season was simply not broadcast on satellite TV.

As for "Battle Through the Heavens"...

The average rating of 0.6% is higher than "Martial Universe", but it is broadcast on Mango TV, which is low compared to other dramas on the platform.

These are all top IPs!

Especially the adaptation of "Battle Through the Heavens", which even has a famous stalk: Dou Qi turns into a horse, go! Dare the Dou Emperor in front dismount to fight!

Capital is not stupid, there have been failed cases before, of course, they will not continue to bet.

Of course, as a man with memory, Shen Liang knows how popular "Joy of Life" is.

——"Celebrating More Than Years" directly made screenwriter Wang Juan famous. Many IP-based TV drama projects are queuing up to invite Wang. There are so many projects that they can't be taken on, and the schedule has been scheduled to the point where they don't know when...

Not only the screenwriters, but also the directors and starring actors have skyrocketed in popularity!

"Celebrating More Than Years" proved that Zhang Ruoyun can handle dramas, and then a number of high-quality projects came to her doorstep, such as "Spy in the Deep", "Swordsman in the Snow", "Police Honor"...

There is a vague sense of the younger generation taking charge!

Especially after several competitors of the same type have been inferior...

Shen Liang really didn't dislike him, it was just that there were some things that he couldn't let go!

Please Xu Zheng, please introduce director Sun Hao...

Sun Hao had filmed "A Man Gets Married" back then, and he has always kept in touch with Xu Zheng...

In the original time and space, Han Haolin, who plays Xiao Fan Xian, was recommended by Xu Zheng - Han Haolin has acted in the "Win the Championship" unit in "My Homeland and Me" and the "Last Lesson" unit in "My Hometown and Me". The directors of these two units are Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng listened to Shen Liang's request: "Do you want to act in "Celebrating More Than Years"?"

"right!"

"Sun Hao told me several years ago that he wanted to film a drama... "Celebrating More Than Years", right?"

"Then I don't know..."

"...please tell me briefly about the story of "Celebrating More Than Years"..."

Shen Liang thought for a moment and said, "It's just the three words of the title, 'Rejoice in the extra life.' It's a story about a modern man who traveled to a different world, and then worked step by step towards the pinnacle of life!"

"...That's it?"

"The protagonist shows the collision of modern ideas and ancient systems..."

Xu Zheng shook his head: "This is not enough... You have to talk about your understanding of the character. If you perform the interpretation, which aspect will you focus on... Also, if you have read the original work, talk about the character logic and plot logic..."

"Let's talk as soon as we come up?"

"Directors are very busy, so we must discuss it as soon as possible!"
