Chapter 263: The Unreasonable Market, the Wealthy Wei Family

Studio, stairs

Jiang Wu held a pipe and spoke to Fan Xiaopang in a sarcastic tone, each word hurtful.

"... I've been married for only half a year, and my husband's business has collapsed... Look, this person is old and has to sell her face just to earn a living for the family..."

Before he finished speaking, Fan Xiaopang, with tears in his eyes and a face full of humiliation and anger, couldn't help but hit him.

Afterwards, Jiang Wu went upstairs to drink chicken soup and paint a big picture, and two cameras kept capturing Fan Xiaopang's reaction.

Fan Xiaopang's face was aggrieved and stubborn, and he exhaled lightly, and two tears slid across his face, like a pear blossom in the rain, and I felt pity for it, which broke the heart of the people watching.

There was no scene for this part, and Wei Yang, who had been staying in front of the monitor, couldn't help but punched excitedly.

The scene just now was actually almost shot, but it was the beauty crying, and Wei Yang was still not satisfied, so he asked Fan Xiaopang to try again and again.

So everyone just played supporting roles, and the main focus was on Fan Xiaopang's face.

Director Wei called "Cut", but Fan Xiaopang still hadn't stepped out of the character. Jiang Wu just acted with her to help her get into the character as much as possible.

After a few minutes, Fan Xiaopang ran to the monitor to watch the finished product, and was a little surprised.

"How is it? It's not in vain. You cried beautifully before, but you didn't have a soul."

The beauty's crying is not about beauty, but crying. This is to show a kind of weakness. The crying should make people feel distressed, the crying has a story, and the broken feeling that makes people can't help but care for it is the most emotional.

Wei Yang likes this shot very much, appreciates it repeatedly, and even boasts.

"Just this shot, it will be indispensable in the inventory of beauties crying in the future. Even if you are banned, someone will still remember you."

"Can you hope for me to do it better?"

Fan Xiaopang rolled his eyes at him, but he couldn't let go of this shot.

If you edit and inventory her divine face, it will take several hours to broadcast.

But this kind of beautiful, temperament, acting skills and visual shocking shots are indeed very rare.

Just like Li Jiaxin wearing the queen's dress in "Drunken Master", Lin Qingxia drinking out of the water in "Swordsman", Zhang Min riding a horse and looking back in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", and Zhu Yin blinking in "A Chinese Odyssey", the beauty is very distinctive and impressive.

It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is the best shot in the entire career, but Fan Xiaopang thinks it is definitely a strong contender.

The other main creators were also amazed after watching the playback, and Wang Pangzi couldn't help but praise him.

"Mr. Wei is really good at taking pictures of beauties. He deserves to have produced so many Wei girls."

"Director Wang, you are too flattering. You are an expert. Jing girls are well-known in the industry."

"No, no, the younger generation is better than the older generation."

"Thank you for the compliment. I still need to learn more from my predecessors."

"..."

The two of them were bragging about each other in business, and the others looked at each other. Instead, they didn't think they were bragging, but were telling the truth.

There is no need to say much about Boss Wei. Wei girls have been very popular in recent years, and although Wang Pangzi is a little lame now, he was also a famous person in the peak era of Hong Kong films.

Qiu Shuzhen, Zhang Min, Weng Hong, Shu Dazui, and even Zhu Yin were all considered Crystal Girls, with great achievements.

…

After this scene was filmed, Director Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This plot is still very critical. It reveals the plight of most characters and puts them on the same boat. Combined with other scenes, these characters have also undergone a transformation.

For example, the character of Fan Xiaopang was previously a relatively smart and beautiful vase actress.

After this scene, everyone knows that under the glamorous appearance, she is actually not easy. A woman who suffers an unjust accusation and has to bear the rice bowl of the whole family is difficult.

So from the perspective of the plot, the picture of a beautiful woman crying, apart from the visual impact, also has a better sublimation of the plot and character creation.

Now that the filming is over, Boss Wei is in a relaxed mood. There is no rehearsal at night, so he lets Fan Xiaopang wear the costume to combine work and rest.

After the exercise, the two chatted. Fan Xiaopang felt very much about the role of the vase actress, and even substituted himself a little.

Suffering from the jealousy and murder of villains, and deeply involved in controversial public opinion, a weak woman carried the hopes of the whole family on her back, struggling in the circle, swallowing her broken teeth, like a white lotus growing in the mud without being stained.

Wei Yang: "..."

Okay, he will just treat this woman as if she is into the play...

However, no matter how shameless Fan Xiaopang is, he still knows that some plots don't match her, such as marrying into a wealthy family, her husband went bankrupt, and she was forced to come out to make money.

"Are you writing about Liu Tao?"

"She is not the only one who went bankrupt. If you read more old news about the film industry in the Republic of China and Hong Kong, you will know that this example is very common."

Flowers don't last forever, and there are many cases of rich people going bankrupt. Some female stars who married into "rich families" are unlucky.

Their appearance and fame are no longer there, and some are still bound by their children and families, and they can't easily find a new job. In order to make a living, they can only come out to do their old jobs, but the circle is updated so quickly, and it is difficult to make achievements again if they don't show up for a long time.

Fatty Fan also felt a little sad when he heard this: "That's why I said, it's better to be a rich man yourself than marrying into a rich family."

It's not easy to be a daughter-in-law of a rich family!

You have to respect your parents-in-law, take care of your children, love your husband, and turn a blind eye to some philandering behaviors.

Just these, it's fine to give money and enjoy more, but some "rich families" are very stingy and are particularly stingy when giving money. Some even take money from their daughters-in-law.

It is better to find an ordinary person to live with than to marry into such a wealthy family.

For someone like Fan Xiaopang who already has a career and is financially well-off, although not marrying into a wealthy family is just a hype, she really doesn't like ordinary "wealthy families".

Of course, if it is Wei Yang, she can still accept it. He has a bright future and the most important thing is that he is a pleasing person.

"I heard that Boss Wei has made a fortune again recently?"

Fan Xiaopang couldn't help asking. Billionaires are very valuable these days, but to be called a wealthy family, at least they have to be in the tens of digits.

"Where did you read the rumor?"

"News and gossip. Isn't "Celebrating Yu Nian" going to be sold? I heard that several TV stations are scrambling for it and offering hundreds of millions."

"You believe this too."

Wei Yang couldn't help complaining. These tabloid reporters are making a fuss. In the current market, a TV series can be sold for hundreds of millions. He doesn't even dare to dream about this when he goes to bed at night.

"That won't be too low. How about 150 million?"

Fan Xiaopang probably knows the market. A few hundred million is pure nonsense, but according to the current market and the momentum of "Joy of Life", it is not impossible to get 3.5 million+ per episode.

The key is that there are too many TV stations competing for it. When they raise the price, sometimes the price can't be stopped.

Wei Yang did not deny it: "It's about the same."

"Is it really that much?"

Fan Xiaopang's eyes widened. Speculation is speculation, and facts are facts.

The ceiling of the unit price before was only 2 to 2.5 million per episode. Now "Joy of Life" has increased by 1 million per episode. Isn't money money?

Fan Xiaopang is right. Money is really not money!

The current market changes too fast. The actor's pay and the price of TV series are like a rocket taking off.

Market changes are not calculated by year, but by season, or even by month.

Three years ago, the price of most TV series was only one million per episode, and many first-line big names could not necessarily get 200,000 per episode, and the price of online broadcast copyright per episode did not even break six figures.

But now, most popular TV series cost more than 2 million per episode, and the pay of first-line actors is generally around 300,000 to 400,000 per episode.

Moreover, popular young actresses like Da Mimi and Liu Shishi not only have higher pay outside, but the key is that they can't be hired at all.

The price of online broadcast copyright has risen to an outrageous level, from tens of thousands per episode a few years ago to hundreds of thousands per episode now, which has increased by more than dozens of times.

Of course, this is also closely related to Wei Yang. His several dramas have repeatedly refreshed the bottom line of website purchases, and the entire market has also begun to prosper.

After all, film and television companies are not fools. You bought "Eastern Palace" for 35 million, but you only spent a few million to buy our dramas, which is like sending beggars.

So in this regard, all film and television companies should thank Wei Yang. In contrast, the platform side loves and hates him.

Because although Wei Yang's sales are expensive, the key is that the drama is popular and the data is good, and every website benefits from it.

So the heads of major websites cursed and cursed at the same time, but as long as Wei Yang released a new drama, they would immediately wave money to grab it.

"Celebrating More Than Years" is no exception this time, and it is very likely to break the record of one million per episode for online broadcast rights.

Long before, Penguin Video offered a sky-high price of 50 million, which is equivalent to 1.25 million per episode.

But now it seems that this price is simply unstoppable. It is said that someone offered a price of nearly 1.5 million for "Palace 2" by Dead Girl, and "Celebrating More Than Years" could not be lower than it.

The first round of broadcast rights is 150 million, and the minimum online copyright is more than 50 million, which is more than 200 million in one go.

Fan Xiaopang felt that this price was simply unreasonable, but Wei Yang was very calm, and he vaguely remembered it.

In the previous life, after the hit of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the new drama "Hot Mom" ​​by Sun Niangniang, the total sales of online and TV copyrights were 200 million. If there were no second or third rounds involved, the single episode was sold for more than 5.2 million.

You should know that "Hot Mom" ​​is just an urban emotional drama with extremely limited costs. The cast is the best of Sun Niangniang, and Zhang Ze was not even a first-line star at that time.

"Hot Mom" ​​with limited conditions in all aspects can sell so well.

It is conceivable that "Celebrating Yu Nian" with stars such as Chen Baoguo, Liu Shishi, and Tang Yan will be more popular. If it sells less, Wei Yang will feel sorry for his "conscience".

"This is 200 million less, and there is still room for negotiation later. With other copyrights, it may be 300 million, and the trilogy will be 1 billion. Come on, let's get the marriage certificate. I will accept your raising a child."

Fan Xiaopang counted on his fingers, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. He wanted to tie Wei Yang to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

This is not a diamond bachelor, this is a diamond mine bachelor!

Wei Yang ignored her. Not to mention that her calculations were too general, even if the trilogy really made 1 billion, he still had to deduct the miscellaneous shares, taxes, and costs, and he would only have a few hundred million in his hands, not even [average].

However, he was very happy to be coaxed by Fan Xiaopang, who revealed a way to make money.

"Take advantage of now, hurry up and buy up the online copyright, otherwise the price will increase immediately."

Fan Xiaopang was stunned, got off Wei Yang quickly, took out his mobile phone and called her mother and agent.

She said that this dog man was good for her. He made tens of millions last time and his popularity soared. This time, the movie hasn't been released yet, but he has made a fortune by sleeping...
