World-class directors in the entertainment industry

November 5, 2011.

[My Love from the Star] TV series has officially started filming.

The first plot is the scene of the male lead at home.

This place is two connected houses that Qin Dong asked Mimi to buy a few months ago.

Speaking of which, this TV series, which was decided at the beginning of the year, has been delayed again and again, but the result is still okay, because after such a long delay, Qin Dong's fame has skyrocketed, and he has become famous internationally beyond the country.

On the contrary, this made the advertising fee for this TV series very high.

It can be regarded as a lost thing, a harvest of mulberry trees, a drink and a peck, it has its own destiny.

This TV series may be the only TV series Qin Dong has shot in his life, so Qin Dong wants to strive for excellence and select as many experienced actors as possible in addition to starring.

...

Starring the male lead Do Minjun and Xu Wenfeng, the new generation leader of Daqin Empire Entertainment Company.

The female lead Qian Songyi is played by Mimi, the major shareholder of the subsidiary [Yuefu Media].

Speaking of which, Qian Hedu, these two surnames have a history of thousands of years in China.

They are all surnames originating from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

China has a long history, and ordinary people know very little about many things. They have almost forgotten the origins of their ancestors. As a result, they are not as well-known as outsiders. It is very unfilial to talk about it.

...

The second female lead Liu Shimei, the best friend of the first female lead Qian Songyi, played by Lin Yuner of the Bangziguo branch of the Daqin Empire.

This girl is a member of the idol group Girls' Generation, so her acting skills are immature. Unfortunately, she is Qin Dong's woman, so no matter how good her acting skills are, she must be selected.

And Qin Dong can be trained well.

...

The second male lead, Lee Hwi Kyung, is the suitor of the female lead, Cheon Song Yi. This role needs to be played by someone with a similar age gap to the male lead and the female lead.

The role is very important. Sheng Yilun, an artist from the Qin Empire, was chosen to play the role.

This person only has a high school education. After graduating from high school, he came to Kyoto to work as a model. Somehow, he was attracted by Xu Li from the company's agency department and signed into the company.

His acting skills are very immature and Qin Dong doesn't want him, even if he is an artist from his own company.

But Xu Li argued hard, and for the past six months, she had hired professional teachers to train her strictly according to the script. It was a first-come-first-served basis, and Qin Dong finally nodded.

The head of the agency department worked very hard for the company's artists. For this, Qin Dong had to give face.

What's more, if the artist really supports him, his company will also make money.

..

The third female lead, Qian Songyi's mother, a first-class actor in the National Drama Theater and a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, is played by Zhang Kaili.

This person's acting skills are impeccable, or in other words, the people who come out of the play are all seasoned actors, there is no doubt about it.

...

The third male lead, Lee Jae-kyung, is played by Geng Lelai, the biological brother of the second male lead, Lee Hui-kyung, and Wang Hua's 18th company.

This graduate of the Central Academy of Fine Arts started starring in TV series in 1994. He is an experienced actor and his acting skills are second to none.

The key thing is that his height, 179cm, is similar to that of the second male lead, 180cm.

Plus the male size is also 180, a perfect tall man.

This way the picture looks good and you don’t need to put your feet on a bench while filming.

...

The fourth female lead, Han Yoo-ra, is played by Cheon Song-yi's opponent Liu Yan from the Dark Line Company. This is to give face to the Dark Line Company.

There are not many roles, but Liu Yan, who is a former host, can still act well.

In addition, this girl's car lights are luxurious, her appearance is also very beautiful, and she is very tempting. She plays the role of an entertainment actress who hooks up with a rich man and wants to climb into the wealthy family. It is a perfect fit, so Qin Dong agreed.

...

For the remaining roles, the second male lead and the third male lead, the father roles of the two brothers, Mr. Li Xuejian will make a guest appearance.

There is nothing to say about Teacher Li Xuejian, Vice Chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Chairman and Honorary Chairman of the China Film Association, and a first-class actor at the National Theater of China.

This is the pinnacle representative of an actor.

...

The classmate and student of the male lead Do Minjun is played by teacher Han Tongsheng.

This person is not simple either. He graduated from the National Theater and is a national first-class actor. He has been awarded the title of expert from the Ministry of Culture and enjoys government subsidies from the State Council.

With this series of titles, do I still need to ask about my acting skills?

...

The role of the younger brother of the female lead Qian Songyi was played by Wang Hua's son Dong Zijian. He was young and suitable, and he could sell it to Wang Hua to save face. After all, Qin Dong also had one-third of the shares of this company.

...

The role of the female lead Qian Songyi as a child, which the Beijing circle is ready to support, is played by Guan Xiaotong.

This kid who was born in 1997 and is only 14 years old now is already an experienced actor.

Why do I say "old actor"? This little kid started to be an actor in 2001 when he was just four years old. Now he is 14 years old and has already played roles in 39 TV series and movies.

What's the concept of 39 movies, so it's totally fine to call me an old drama guru.

Although they are all minor roles, playing the role of a child, there are many people who can't stand it.

...

Other roles are also chosen from the acting schools of Wang Hua's 18th Company, Darkline Media, and Bona Pictures.

With Qin Dong's current reputation, basically most of the actors are willing to cooperate. Even if the role is small, they are willing to come and support him and give him face.

Why not do it as the icing on the cake?

...

[My Love from the Star] Although this drama does not have many episodes, it has many characters.

Qin Dong chose some well-known acting schools. Although the supporting roles were low-priced, they could not support the many roles of actors, resulting in high costs.

The total salary of the actors alone is more than 30 million.

In addition to the TV series' special effects and various gorgeous arrangements, the entire script's cost budget is as high as 70 million.

However, in view of Qin Dong's fame bonus, the advertising sponsorship fee was 240 million yuan, so even though the cost was high, the TV series had already made a profit of 170 million yuan before filming started.

Qin Dong's Great Qin Empire did not announce the advertising sponsorship fees to the outside world, but these sponsoring companies would not remain silent.

Then the outside world suddenly became turbulent.

...

Online, newspapers, magazines, and TV stations began to report on Qin Dong’s first TV series:

"According to the president of the Asia-Pacific region of Don't Touch Me, Director Qin's first TV series [My Love from the Star], which involved car advertising sponsorship, was acquired by Don't Touch Me at a price of 60 million yuan."

"According to Apple's official website in the Asia-Pacific region, director Qin's first TV series [My Love from the Star], which included advertising sponsorship for mobile phones, was purchased by Apple for the 4S model at a price of 45 million yuan."

"According to the announcement on the official website of Haier Brothers, Haier Brothers has won the advertising sponsorship of kitchen props including refrigerators in the drama "My Love from the Star" at a high price of 25 million yuan."

"Bosideng, Hongdou, Jinba Men's Wear, and Gloria Women's Wear, four companies have joined forces to win advertising sponsorship for the costumes of the characters in "My Love from the Star" at a price of 60 million yuan."

"Quanyou Home Furnishing Co., Ltd. paid a whopping RMB 25 million for advertising sponsorship of sofas, beds and other furniture in the drama "My Love from the Star"."

"It is reported that other small sponsorships in the drama [My Love from the Star], such as milk tea, bicycles, coffee, fried chicken, beer, etc., also sold a total of 25 million yuan in advertising fees."

"According to the official website of Daqin Empire, the production cost of Director Qin's first TV series, [My Love from the Star], is as high as 70 million yuan."

"Using many first-line actors, many veteran actors, and excellent acting skills, although the production cost is comparable to the cost of a mid-range movie, 240 million in advertising sponsorships have been sold before the filming of the TV series has started."

"The TV series has already made a profit of 170 million yuan before it was even filmed."

"Looking at the country, and then looking at the world, how many directors are there who have such ability?"

"Director Qin, his status as the number one director in China is unquestionable."

"In the future, whether China's film industry can go beyond the country depends on the performance of Director Qin Dong and Qin."

"So, even if I hate the idea of ​​inserting too many advertisements in TV series, if it is a TV series directed by Director Qin, I will insert them casually and still maintain a 100% expectation and wait for the release of this TV series."
