Xiazhu Pavilion.
“King Zhou, what happened today is my fault!”
Director Yang picked up the teacup, and said with tea instead of wine, “I don’t know anyone, so I’m causing you trouble! Don’t worry, I’ll give you a satisfactory explanation later!”
Zhou Hao nodded and said with a smile, “Director Yang is serious!”
After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to change the subject and said, “Did Director Yang bring the script? Let me see what the main content of our play is.”
Hearing this, Director Yang quickly took out a beautifully bound script from his bag and handed it to Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao took it with a smile, and then buried himself in a careful look.
Director Yang sat upright at the side, not daring to make the slightest movement.
An hour later, Zhou Hao finally finished reading the last page.
He closed the script and said with a long sigh: “Wonderful, really wonderful!”
After finishing speaking, Zhou Hao asked Director Yang curiously: “Director Yang, which scriptwriter did this script come from?”
Hearing this, Director Yang smiled and said, “This script was edited by Mr. Sun Hui, the original author of “The Great Qin Empire”!”
Hearing this, Zhou Hao gave a thumbs up and said, “Amazing, this script is amazing!”
After finishing speaking, Zhou Hao said curiously: “Director Yang, judging from the outline of the script, there should be several parts in this drama, right?”
Director Yang nodded and explained: “A total of four films are expected to be filmed, and the total production cost exceeds one billion!”
After Zhou Hao heard it, he couldn’t help saying: “What a great handwriting!”
After Zhou Hao finished filming “The Hangover”, he can be regarded as stepping into the film and television industry.
As one of the five major investors of this drama, Zhou Hao participated in the preparation of the whole crew.
The cost of the crew includes two categories: one is the production cost, and the other is the publicity cost!
The production cost includes a lot of content, including actors’ remuneration, equipment rental, props production, drama staff salary, and various daily expenses!
The publicity cost is the sum of all channel publicity costs!
With the advent of the era of commercialization of the film and television drama market, the role of publicity is becoming more and more important!
Generally speaking, the ratio of production cost to publicity cost is one to one.
For some wealthy crews, this ratio can even reach three to seven!
The production cost is three, and the publicity cost is seven!
Publicity is more important than production!
Hype is better than content!
This is also the most important reason why the older generation of directors are dissatisfied with the status quo of the film and television industry!
However, the audience doesn’t care about these!
The era when the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys has passed!
Now it’s a consumer market, and the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys!
Take the crew of “Host” as an example, the total cost does not exceed five million!
Of the five million, the production cost is only one million, and the remaining four million are all used for publicity!
Of course, the reason why the crew cost of “The Host” is so low is because Jackie Chan, Hua Tsai, Zhou Hao and the others don’t want any pay!
Otherwise, even for the lowest-priced Wang Zulan, the five hundred is not enough for his salary!
Director Yang is a mature director of commercial films, it is impossible for him not to know the role of publicity!
The production cost of “The Great Qin Empire” is 1 billion, which means that at least 1 billion has been prepared for the equivalent announcement!
Zhou Hao can only use two words to describe this kind of boldness!
Awesome!
Director Yang looked at the admiration on Zhou Hao’s face, and immediately understood what he was thinking.
He smiled wryly, and said, “You’ve misunderstood, the total investment for this movie is only 1 billion!”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Hao was stunned!
“So, you are not planning to promote this play?”
Speaking of this, Zhou Hao couldn’t help frowning: “Isn’t it too risky for you to do this?”
Director Yang smiled wryly and said, “When I saw this script for the first time, I had the same reaction as you. I thought this script was really wonderful!”
After finishing speaking, he said helplessly: “So, let’s shoot as soon as we shoot! The investment of 200 million yuan for the first film has been spent, and the film has just been shot! The rest of the money is only It’s enough for post-production, but when it’s announced and released, there’s really no money left!”
Hearing this, Zhou Hao’s eyes widened.
He said strangely: “Since the crew has no money, why do you still look for me? Don’t you know that my price is very expensive?”
When Director Yang heard this, a sly look flashed in his eyes: “Of course I know your price is high, but it’s worth it!”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhou Hao and said sternly: “To be honest, before making this decision, I have carefully studied your market performance since your debut! In the end, I unexpectedly discovered that it turns out that asking you to write songs is the most efficient way. and alsoThe most cost-effective means of publicity! ”
Hearing this, Zhou Hao couldn’t help raising his brows: “Even if you praise me so much, I won’t ask for less copyright fees!”
“That’s for sure!” Director Yang said seriously, “Don’t worry, I will never let you down regarding copyright fees!”
Zhou Hao nodded, and then asked, “Do you have any thoughts on the theme song?”
Director Yang obviously considered this issue long ago.. 0
Hearing Zhou Hao’s words, he said without hesitation: “I like that you can focus on the first emperor! Although the plot of “The Great Qin Empire” started with Shang Yang’s reform, the first emperor is the core of this drama. ! So, I hope that the theme song will be centered on Emperor Shihuang!”
Zhou Hao looked at Director Yang and suddenly realized.
He said with a strange expression: “Director Yang, you are planning to use only one theme song for the four plays, right?”
Director Yang nodded with a smirk, and said, “I have no other choice! The rest of the investment is only enough to make a movie, and I really have no money to exchange for the theme song!”
Hearing this, Zhou Hao couldn’t help baring his teeth and said, “You have quite confidence in me!”
After finishing speaking, he asked Director Yang in a deep voice: “Director Yang, you are the chief director of this play. What is your deepest impression on His Majesty the First Emperor?”
Hearing this, Director Yang’s expression suddenly became solemn.
“The life of Emperor Shihuang can be described in one word, that is greatness!”
“His Majesty the First Emperor has made seven major achievements in his life: unifying the six countries, establishing autocratic and centralized rule, unifying the written currency and weights and measures, seizing the Hetao area, developing the Yue area, building chi roads, and private ownership of land!”
“One emperor through the ages, well deserved!”
Zhou Hao nodded, and asked again: “What do you think is the greatest regret of His Majesty the First Emperor?”
When Director Yang heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he joked, “There is a joke on the Internet, saying that His Majesty the First Emperor has two biggest regrets in his life!”
“First, the Qin Dynasty did not have a world map.”
“Secondly, His Majesty the First Emperor’s lifespan is too short!”
“There are still a lot of hypotheses on the Internet, and I don’t dare to expect that the elderly and parents will live forever, but if His Majesty the First Emperor can live another fifty years, the history of this world will definitely be completely rewritten!”
Zhou Hao blinked, and tentatively said, “What if His Majesty the Emperor lived another five hundred years?”
Hearing this, Director Yang immediately said proudly.
“Then we must have started interstellar colonization now!”
