538.The Art of Conversation(1/4)
"How about it, is it okay?"
At the door of the study, after hearing this, Xu Xin said without raising his head:
"Well, it's very beautiful."
"..."
Yang Mi, whose nose was wrinkled, muttered a few vague words.
I have no choice but to say it out loud.
Otherwise it will be "beep beep beep".
After the scolding, she felt relieved, patted her butt and left.
Just by listening to the rustling sounds, you can tell that he is drafting the storyboards.
Don't bother him anymore.
All the way downstairs, she snapped her fingers at Su Meng, who had become her assistant in place of Tingting who was resting for the past two days:
"Snapped."
"Mengmeng, let's go!"
"Okay, sister."
Su Meng quickly followed.
Yang Mi is going to see Lin Yufen tonight.
Lin Yufen has already reported the script budget for "Step by Step".
Production cost: 21 million.
Parentheses: Excludes actor pay.
The price is actually pretty good and not too high.
The production cost of "Zhen Huan", not counting the film remuneration, including services, location labor, etc., has reached 35 million.
Under normal circumstances, the share of production costs and remuneration for a TV series starts at RMB 64.
Because of the time span and the large number of people involved, the production cost of TV series is higher.
So Yang Mi estimates that the final investment for this drama should be around 40 million.
If you include Xuanfa... maybe 4,500 to 5,000.
Okay.
So she didn't worry too much about production costs.
On the contrary, she gave Lin Yufen full freedom.
After all, Director Lin took good care of himself during the "Sword and Sword III" period. And now this matter still concerns Shishi.
This is what everyone is going to talk about at dinner tonight.
Su Meng planned the route. Although there was some traffic, she was not late at least.
It was almost 8 o'clock when Yang Mi finally saw her in the box.
"Mimi."
"Hey, Director Lin, long time no see~~"
Yang Mi intimately hugged Lin Yufen, who had short hair and dyed yellow hair and looked quite fashionable.
Lin Yufen came alone without an assistant.
Seeing this, Yang Mi waved to Su Meng:
"Mengmeng, you can make arrangements for yourself, and I won't worry about it."
"Okay, sister."
Su Meng left quickly.
There were only two people left in the box.
Lin Yufen started the conversation during the ordering process by saying, "How was the filming of Wulin Gaiden?"
Two people, six dishes, and a bottle of red wine.
It won't be easy to talk today without wine.
Chatting while eating.
When all the dishes were served, the waiter left.
Yang Mi then personally took the decanter and gave Lin Yufen a glass of wine.
"Director Lin, there is basically no problem with the production cost of this play. When do you want to start working on it?"
"It's a bit troublesome to prepare."
Although she often comes to the mainland, Lin Yufen's accent is still Hong Kong and Taiwanese.
Holding the wine glass, she shook her head:
"I calculated the preparation work, it will take at least three or four months. So...it is the blessing of Bodhisattva that we can start filming before New Year's Day."
"Oh, that's really late."
Yang Mi calculated the time:
"Hey, it's my fault too. The script has been given to you a long time ago. The main reason is that I've been too busy this year and haven't been able to take care of the work on "Bu Bu Jing Xin"."
"Haha~"
Lin Yufen definitely didn't dare to blame her, she just smiled and shook her head:
"Even if you want to do it earlier, I'm afraid it won't be my turn. Just a month ago, the company was focusing on another drama."
Although Yang Mi knew exactly what the show was about, she still asked:
"Which one?"
"Well……"
Lin Yufen thought about it and didn't hide it:
"It was called "Gong Lock Heart Jade", but I don't know why it didn't come to fruition in the end."
"Ah? That one? That drama is also with me now."
"...?"
Looking at the surprised Yang Mi, Lin Yufen was stunned:
"Where...where?"
"Here I am."
Yang Mi looked dumbfounded:
"Or to be precise, this drama is now in Tianyu. Tianyu has reached a cooperation with my company starting from this year. And this drama is the starting point for our cooperation..."
"You want to pick up?"
"No, I have no plans to take on a TV series at the moment. I've left it to my ladies."
"That Angela..."
"Yes. That's her..."
Hearing this, Lin Yufen was a little surprised:
"Have you started cooperating with Hunan TV?"
"They have been looking for me for a long time. But as you know, I have been focusing on movies since "The Sword". They have been looking for me for a long time, but I couldn't push it away. Later, we talked and decided to start with
The most superficial cooperation begins.”
"Wow, TV drama cooperation is still called the shallowest level?"
"I didn't mean that. It makes me look down on TV series..."
Yang Mi quickly shook her head, but immediately added:
"But, my good Director Lin, you also know... There are only two or three cats and dogs in my company. I am talking about the lowest level, not the lowest level of Tianyu, but my side. Think about it,
What do we have in our company? Director? Yes, my husband. One movie or TV series a year? I can’t let him film it. The cycle is so long. I can’t stand it if he leaves me for ten days and a half. What if he leaves?
How many months do I have to go crazy?"
"Hahahaha~"
Lin Yufen seemed to have lost her mind and smiled very happily:
"You two are so sweet~"
"Hehe~"
