243 Ambition of the Dimension Wall
Xu Xing directly rejected Baidi. When Tan Huiquan asked the reason, Xu Xing asked back: "What is your budget for this TV series?"
Tan Huiquan was stunned and then said proudly: "It is expected to be about 200 million."
Now it is only 2015, and the cost of TV series production has not soared year by year as in previous lives, so it is already a big investment to have 200 million yuan.
"So what are the value of the talented boys who you want to invite Hu Yifei?"
"The specific performance price has to be established before we can negotiate."
"I think you should be very clear about the price they need to ask for. Hu Yifei's previous TV series was 50 million, and if he participated in Changgexing, he would definitely not be less than 50 million." Xu Xing used TX to check it out and all of them came out.
"This is true, but Hu Yifei has a high traffic now. With him in his TV series, he will naturally have a large number of fans and audiences."
"Haha, the male lead costs 50 million yuan, and the female lead is also a top-tier domestic actress. In addition, the supporting roles, it will cost more than 100 million yuan in the actors. In addition, the costumes, props, staff salaries, and food expenses, I don't know how much money you can spend on TV series production?" Xu Xing looked at director Kong Wei, and saw that the rich middle-aged man had no smile on his face, but he agreed with Xu Xing's words.
Kong Wei is a well-known director. Of course, he knows that spending too much money on actors will naturally shrink, but he has no choice but to believe in the combination of traffic stars increasing their IPs. A director he just dug up obviously has no say.
"What do Mr. Xu want?" Tan Huiquan asked carefully.
"Don't have traffic stars, just choose the acting school, so I agree to hand over Changgexing to you." Xu Xing said firmly.
Tan Huiquan hesitated. He was just a small manager. He was not the turn of this kind of thing to decide. So he said embarrassedly: "Mr. Xu, please allow me to call me and ask for instructions on the leader."
Xu Xing spread his hands and said, "Please give me some advice."
Seeing Tan Huiquan walk out of the office to make a phone call, Director Kong Wei leaned over and whispered: "Mr. Xu's idea really coincides with me. The current traffic stars are too expensive and their acting skills are poor. They can't command their nostrils at all. Spending money on them is a waste."
"I am just an outsider and can't do anything about the chaos in the entertainment industry. The only thing I can do is to prevent the works I have worked hard to become victims." Xu Xing said bluntly.
"Yes, it's so heartbreaking to see my hard-working work ruined in their hands." As he said that, Kong Wei leaned closer again and said in a thin voice like a mosquito and flies: "Baidi Company will definitely not give up on using traffic stars. If Mr. Xu really wants to shoot a long song, I suggest you can go to my original company Risheng. This is the phone number of the boss Shen Yongliang."
After saying that, he quietly stuffed a small note into Xu Xing's hand.
Xu Xing looked at the middle-aged man's eyes and could tell that he still had a lot of feelings for the old company Risheng, and he was willing to attract customers from Risheng in his opponent company.
"Why did Director Kong choose to jump to Baidi?" Xu Xing couldn't help but ask curiously.
Kong Wei sighed and smiled bitterly: "Sometimes, a penny stumps the hero. I won't mention it anymore. Manager Tan has finished asking, so he will come and discuss it with you."
Xu Xing looked up, and sure enough, Tan Huiquan had finished calling and walked in.
"Mr. Xu is embarrassed. Our leader said that traffic stars are necessary and investors want them." Tan Huiquan didn't sit down and just stood up and spoke. Obviously he knew that the cooperation was probably impossible to continue.
After sending off Baidi's people, Xu Xing searched the Internet for information about Risheng and Shen Yongliang.
Risheng Film and Television Company was founded in 2011. It can only be considered new in a lot of large companies in the entertainment industry, but the producers and directors in the company are not new, and they are all old directors with quality assurance.
Risheng is not like other large entertainment companies, movies, TV series and variety shows artists are contracted by themselves. They only produce TV series, and everything else has nothing to do with them. It is precisely because of this focus that most of the TV series produced by their company are high-quality products.
They have a guideline for filming TV series, and only look for suitable actors and other celebrities who are not suitable for them.
Xu Xing called Shen Yongliang's private phone number. Shen Yongliang turned out to be a director. Before Risheng was founded, he was already a top director in the TV series circle. However, since Risheng started, he has gradually faded out of the ranks of directors.
"Hey, who are you?"
"Hello, is it Mr. Shen? I am Xu Xing, Xingtian Company."
The other side of the phone hesitated for a moment before he realized: "It turns out it's Mr. Xu. Is there anything wrong with Mr. Xu asking me for?"
"That's right. Director Kong Weikong just came with Baidi Entertainment and wanted to buy the TV series adaptation rights of Changgexing." Xu Xing did not hide it, and directly told Kong Wei about it.
Shen Yongliang, opposite the phone, sighed: "If Lao Kong hadn't had an accident at home and needed money urgently, I believe he would have walked with us at Risheng. However, since Lao Kong handed over my phone number to you, his meaning is obvious. Will Mr. Xu be willing to hand over the Changgexing to us for production?"
Xu Xing said: "I don't want my hard work to be made into bad movies, so I rejected Baidi. Risheng Company's works have quality assurance. I can rest assured to hand over Changgexing to you."
"Mr. Xu, we will spend most of our investments on production, and we will not disappoint you. I just don't know how much the price of the adaptation rights of Changgexing Store?"
"The offer from Baidi is five million, but if you guys, I only have five hundred thousand."
Shen Yongliang, who was opposite the phone, was shocked. He had never even touched the phone for the first time, and he was willing to sell it to them at a low price. He is worthy of being the number one company in the animation industry, and his courage is indeed great.
But Xu Xing saw the shadow of a company in Risheng Company in his previous life, the high-quality TV series manufacturer at noon sunshine.
Anyway, Xu Xing is not short of these millions now, and giving it to Risheng is also an attempt to expand Xing Tian’s influence to the third dimension.
Although Xing Tian is famous now, his fan group is still the two-dimensional otaku. He successfully entered the social circle of middle-aged and elderly people because of the animation conference. He has some fans, but not many. Middle-aged and elderly people just know about such a company.
Middle-aged and elderly people have strong consumption power and absolute voice. They are the main audience of TV series. Although many of them only watch the Republic of China dramas and anti-Japanese dramas, if it is the noon sunshine in their previous lives, then any theme can be killed in all ages.
