Reborn as the richest man in India
Chapter 124 Film and Television Company
Qiao Ge took action in person, and there was no hesitation on Dalka's part, so he immediately agreed.
Then it was time to select the actors, and of course Dalka was responsible for this part.
However, Qiao Ge also put forward his own requirements. The leading actors and other related actors do not need to be very famous, but they must ensure their acting skills.
Moreover, all actors who appear must sign a contract with their own agency.
Qiao Ge knew very well that this TV series would definitely become popular. If it became popular and these actors escaped, wouldn't he benefit others in vain?
He didn't want to be taken advantage of like this.
Therefore, you must have your own brokerage company and sign corresponding contracts, and the cost of breach of contract must be high.
The main reason for choosing actors who are not well-known is that they don't have much bargaining power now. As long as they are given a chance, they can agree to any conditions.
If it is some well-known celebrities, one is that they often have a contract with a brokerage company, and the other is that they are unlikely to agree to some of their contract conditions.
"Ramayana" is destined to make the actors and actresses famous, even if they were unknowns before, they can become well-known stars.
Therefore, there is no need to look for famous actors. It is most appropriate to choose from talented but undiscovered actors.
There is no shortage of actors in Bollywood, and there are many actors who are capable but have no chance. They need connections everywhere, and all they need is a Bole.
Qiaogo directly acquired the film and television company where Fuli worked. Since it was a small company, Qiaogo spent 15 million rupees to acquire it.
Then Gupta Film and Television Company will be established, and all actors who will join next will be signed to this company.
In the future, the company will not only produce TV series, but also films.
After learning that Jogo was going to make a TV series adaptation of Ramayana, Darka was very interested.
He is not worried about the plot. He believes that there will be no problems on his side. The most important thing is the technical issues.
When he learned that Qiao Ge had invited a foreign special effects team, he was overjoyed and full of expectations for this TV series.
Only now did he realize that Qiao Ge’s investment of 300,000 yuan per episode was not just talk, it was real money invested.
This is very different from investors in the film industry. Many guys boast of investing tens of millions, but in the end, only half of them are actually invested.
The classic "Ramayana" tells the story of Rama, the prince of the ancient Ayodha king, and his wife Sita.
Taking the joys and sorrows of Rama and Sita as the main line of the story, supplemented by brotherhood, it shows the struggle within the ancient Indian court and among various countries.
There are many Indian myths and legends interspersed in the text, and there are grand battle scenes, all of which require special effects to support.
Qiao Ge asked Fuli to play the heroine. As for Tapu, he asked Dalka to think of a suitable role, such as a little maid or something.
Qiao Ge felt that he could create gods, so it would be much easier to create stars.
"Ramayana" and "Mahabharata" should be able to create several nationally famous stars. I can't say anything about the supporting roles. I believe that Fuli, who is already a little famous, will definitely reach a higher level.
The main filming location was in a warehouse, which was originally used to store cooking oil, on the outskirts of Navi Mumbai.
Now vacant, the place is large enough with enough indoor space to build interior sets.
This kind of mythological drama requires various indoor scenes.
As for other exterior scenes, let’s choose a location. After all, there is still Bollywood as a movie base, so there is no problem with the location at all.
Dalka began to recruit personnel, and there were various types of staff in the crew. However, Qiao Ge had very high requirements for this TV series, so the demand for personnel was also great.
At the same time, Dalka knew that Qiaogo was also preparing for making movies in the future.
With these people, it will even be possible to shoot multiple movies at once.
It was different to have the support of a powerful financial backer. He found that his confidence was suddenly sufficient.
In the past, when making movies, the budget was withheld, so I could save money in various ways.
In order to build momentum, Qiao Ge also decided to let major news newspapers start reporting on the preparations for a TV series, such as the TV series with the largest investment in history. This is a good gimmick.
Then they would place advertisements in newspapers and open casting calls, hoping that actors would sign up, and even ordinary people could come and audition. Maybe they would become stars one day and heat up the topic.
Qiao Han and the others soon learned about Qiao Ge’s activities.
"That kid also made "Ramayana"?" Doralo Chauhan threw the big news newspaper on the table and laughed, "He really dares to think about it."
The Big News is now the top local newspaper in Mumbai and most people subscribe to it.
In fact, coupled with the publication in several other major cities, the big news newspaper is now well-known throughout the country.
Qiaogo also promised News that as long as he had enough funds, he would support him in continuing to expand the newspaper business and acquire more newspapers as branches to expand the influence of Big News.
"Darka is good, but he has only made a few movies. Can he switch to TV dramas all at once?" Doralo continued.
Ramonand Sagar remained silent, picked up the newspaper and read it carefully.
The above information is not too much. The main gimmick is the large investment in large production, such as how much each episode costs, and the preferential treatment of actors and staff.
"It's interesting." After a while, Ramonand chuckled.
"Isn't he looking for death?" Doraro said, "Brother, with your level, you can't just crush him casually?"
Ramonand nodded and said, "Don't be careless. If that guy really wants to invest so much, we may have to increase our budget."
"Is it necessary?" Doraro asked.
"If it is a different type of TV series, then there is no need. Now that the subject matter is the same and the other party's investment is three times ours, then we are too few. I think we have to double it no matter what."
"200,000 an episode?" Doralo was shocked. "Brother, you said you plan to shoot more than 50 episodes, right? That's 10 million rupees, which is a big investment for a movie. By then the TV station Can the purchase price go up over there? Otherwise, it will definitely be a loss."
He will definitely not make a loss-making transaction. He is an investor and needs to pay back.
He still knew the purchase price from the TV station. The cost of 200,000 per episode would definitely be a loss. It was impossible for the TV station to pay such a high price for the acquisition, even if the quality of the drama was guaranteed.
Ramonand was silent. He also knew that the budget was far higher than expected, and the acquisition price of the TV station was indeed a problem.
"At least another fifty thousand per episode," Ramonand said.
Doralo thought about it for a while, and realized that he could barely make a profit at this price. It was completely acceptable to let that kid lose 100 million just to snipe that kid.
"We also look for newspapers." Dorara said loudly, "If an episode costs 300,000 yuan, let's say 500,000 yuan an episode. The same is true for Ramayana."
Ramonand originally wanted to persuade him, but he thought it would be good to build momentum like this, which would actually increase the popularity of his TV series.
And he didn't think he would lose.
Qiao Ge looked at the newspaper handed over by Tapu and was stunned for a while.
"Ramonand Sagar is a famous director, what should we do?" Tapu's little face was full of anxiety.
She didn't expect that she would be involved in a TV series. She chose "Ramayana". How could it be such a coincidence?
Compared to Dhaka, Ramonand is much more famous.
Therefore, when the people in the crew saw this news, they were very nervous.
Even Darka felt a little scared.
This is the real fighting arena.
In the past, competitions between movies had different themes. It was normal to lose and win. No one could say who was better.
But now the subject matter is exactly the same, which is a very good test standard.
Ramonand's fame put a lot of psychological pressure on Dhaka, who is a veteran Bollywood director.
"500,000 per episode? Huh, Director Dalka, do you think this is possible?" Qiao Ge asked with a cold snort.
Dalka immediately nodded in denial. How could it be 500,000 per episode? Qiao Ge already felt that 300,000 per episode was very outrageous.
"I think their 200,000 yuan per episode is the most. And with the cost of 200,000 per episode, even if the TV station is acquiring it, they will definitely still lose money." Darka thought for a while and said, "Dora Rohan, this guy, I I still know a little bit about it, I won’t do loss-making business, I am very smart..."
At this point, Dalka couldn't speak any more.
Because an episode worth 200,000 yuan is a loss, let alone an episode worth 300,000 yuan for Qiao Ge.
Judging from the current investment, Qiao Ge is really the real deal, not fake.
If you say Doraluo is smart, wouldn't it mean to say Qiaogo is stupid?
This made him feel a little emotional. It was rumored that Qiao Ge filmed the TV series to praise his little girlfriend. It seemed that it was really for Fuli.
Otherwise, who would do such a loss-making business?
"Then what's there to be afraid of? Our investment is greater than theirs, the special effects team is better than theirs, how can the director, actors, and crew members be any worse than them? Don't you have any confidence in yourself?"
After hearing Qiao Ge's words, everyone felt a little ashamed.
That's right, I still have a lot of advantages here. What does it matter if the other party has the upper hand?
"It seems I'm too conservative." Darka smiled bitterly and said, "What a great Bollywood director, let me try his level this time."
"That's right." Qiao Ge smiled, "Tapu, are you still worried?"
Tapu smiled and nodded: "That must be no problem."
Fuli was touching up her makeup not far away, and when she heard Tapu's words, she secretly sighed in her heart.
It seems that the relationship between my younger sister and Qiao Ge is indeed not an ordinary classmate relationship.
Regarding this kind of thing, she found that she couldn't persuade her.
If it weren't for Tapu, if she hadn't met Qiao Ge, she still wouldn't know what the outcome would be.
Either accept the various rules of Bollywood or quit the film and television industry.
"Come on, come on, everyone, keep going, hurry up, we have to get results before each other. We have to work overtime and shoot all night these days." Dalka suddenly became very motivated.
Everyone shouted loudly, as if they had been given blood.
It has been a few days since the filming of the TV series, and it has generally gone smoothly. After the previous few days of running in, everyone is now in very good condition.
Tapu plays a small supporting role in the play, that is, her sister's maid. She has a small role, but not too much.
However, his little maid is still indispensable, and many plots still need her to promote. After all, she is a character between the male and female protagonists and should not be underestimated.
Generally speaking, Qiao Ge also wants Tapu to get some training. The future 'most beautiful inspector general' can have other titles.
Since there was no scene for Tapu today, Qiao Ge took her back to the city, feeling very happy in his heart.
Tapu didn't have a role, but Fuli did. As a heroine, she was quite busy, and she had to stay up all night filming with everyone.
what does that mean?
There is no one else at home.
