Chapter 174 Everything is going well

Nami Miyazaki's first thought was that Chu Shi was worried that the two executive directors would passively slacken in their work because they did not receive the full salary, and completing the salary only allowed employees to burst out all their enthusiasm.

But if you think about it carefully, the executive director's job is to replace director Jiang Beichuan to complete the shot he wants. If he fails, Jiang Beichuan will have to deny it again until he shoots a qualified shot. Passively slacking off work is just an increase in his workload. No one will be so stupid.

Naturally, Miyazaki Nami concluded that Chu Shi was very confident in his TV series and was determined to be popular. He had already prepared to recruit the behind-the-scenes workers of the independent TV series that Jiangbeichuan had raised!

The TV series is booming, and its production team will enjoy such glory together. They will increasingly agree with Chu Shi and Jiang Beichuan. Even if they like a more free working environment, they can hold a strong thigh and have a worry-free future. Who doesn’t like it?

Thinking of this, a hint of flush appeared on Miyazaki Nami's face, intoxicated by Chu Shi. "Even though she restrained herself and showed a lot of humility, she could not hide her confidence and arrogance in her bones!"

"There are no other problems except the three points I mentioned. Director Jiang and Nami, you can prepare the contract as soon as possible, and our TV series production team can be completely formed!"

After getting something done, Chu Shi picked up several documents submitted by Miyazaki Nami. After all, Chu Shi’s most important job is to produce TV series. Miyazaki Nami and Jiangkikawa are also devoted to this, and the documents are also some small trivial matters related to it.

"The location of the TV series has been completed? Foreign, domestic, beaches, and villas have been prepared. Nami, you are also worried! This extra team is also very good, and the overall age is not very young. It is relatively 'young', and it is suitable for our movie!"

"The budget is so detailed? Haha. With Nami's help, it's indeed a blessing for me, Chu Shi!"

Nami Miyazaki handled many trivial matters properly. Chu Shi was quite satisfied, but looking at the detailed budget table she made, Chu Shi became more and more happy.

The table not only contains the investment budget for the new TV series, but also has analysis and argumentation in various aspects.

The Chinese TV drama industry is developing rapidly, with countless works of various types. A model TV drama with a relatively ordinary investment scale will have an investment of between 600,000 and 700,000 yuan per episode.

The "ordinary model" TV series mentioned here mainly refers to the fact that the investment budget is not very high, and because major cinemas have experience in shooting many of the same types of works, whether it is personnel, props, costumes, or experience, they can shoot the desired effect at the lowest cost.

The expenses are naturally much smaller.

Taking Qing Palace Drama as an example, various costumes and props are expensive and can be rented to dozens of crews to shoot TV series, so the rent will naturally not be very high.

If it is a work with a slightly larger investment, the requirements for cast, props and costumes are higher, and the investment in each episode will be about 1 million.

Of course, this is just an average situation, and some individual cases are not included.

For example, a company or a TV station's annual drama has not been seen for two or three million episodes. Or an investment of only one million episodes but boasts about 10 million episodes, and there is no way to do so. There is also a relatively unique "sitting comedy". Although many people like to watch it, the overall ratings are pretty good. However, compared to ordinary TV series, the cost is very small, because the number is really small, so naturally it is not included in it.

Among all TV series, the investment is relatively high.

Chu Shi’s positioning of his new work is a “wealthy fashion drama”. The word “wealthy” represents the luxury cars, villas, and food and clothing. The word “wealthy” even shows that in this TV series, there will definitely be no missing brand-name clothing!

Even if it is just a single word "wealthy family" or "fashion", if you want to make a TV series of excellent quality, the investment will not be less than 1.2 million per episode. The two are superimposed together, and Chu Shi requires that the entire TV series be extremely well-made, and the scene does not need to be shocking, but at least it cannot be trivial, and it cannot be made into a bad drama in which the entire TV series is filmed in the same villa.

At the same time, even the details in TV series, such as watches and antiques, have to borrow genuine products instead of fakes in order to achieve authenticity. Just the "rent" requires a lot of money.

Chu Shi thought that the investment in each episode should be around 2 million, and as long as it does not exceed 2.2 million, it is not considered a sucker and is acceptable.

The detailed information listed by Miyazaki Nami directly saved Chu Shi a lot of money!

"Although our new TV series is definitely very large due to the type and Chu Jun's requirements, the investment will be very large, but the cast is not luxurious and can save a lot of investment. During this period, I have also actively contacted old friends and barely rented more than 80% of the luxury goods in the TV series at a relatively low price. There are so many things that can save a lot of money!"

"If the TV series only shoots 30 episodes, the average investment in each episode will be about 1.7 million, totaling about 50 million, and the up and down will not be too large. After that, for every 15 episodes increase, the average investment budget for each episode will drop by 100,000 again!"

"If you want to minimize the cost, you need to shoot a TV series with a total of 60 episodes. The investment of about 1.5 million per episode is only 90 million. Even if it exceeds slightly, it will definitely not exceed 100 million. I think with Chu Jun, your financial resources, you should be able to support it easily!"

"I do have some savings on hand, and I don't have other investment projects. I will make every effort to provide our new TV series, so there is no problem!"

Chu Shi nodded with satisfaction and breathed a sigh of relief. With the help of Miyazaki Nami, he saved 500,000 yuan in investment in each episode of the new TV series, which was a considerable amount of money together.

"For financial issues, you will have to worry about Nami for the time being. I have a lot of things on hand and cannot cover everything. I also want you to guarantee that if my TV series is lucky enough to become a senior figure in the TV series industry, you will also become a senior company!"

After Chu Shi gave Miyazaki Nami a promise that she could let go, she also turned her attention to the last document, which was the most important thing in Chu Shi's opinion.

The role choice for the new drama!

Actors who are not suitable or have poor skills cannot perfectly express the script and director's ideas, and the blow to the work itself is also fatal. After all, the actors are the most critical part of any film and television work. Many public casting activities that have caused sensation in the industry every year are also held.

Chu Shi handed over the choice of all the characters except the protagonist to Jiangbeikawa, and asked him to discuss with Miyazaki Nami to use people without doubt, and it was also because there was no one at hand. The choice of two protagonists except himself, the choice of one man and one woman except him took Chu Shi a lot of time, and he was thinking about it all but not caught.

After all, Chu Shi is not famous in the TV series circle now, and cannot respond to the call, nor can he call the actors to participate in the audition. He can only invite them one by one. It is too troublesome, so it is better to leave it to Jiang Beichuan to complete it.

After all, he is an experienced old director. Without Chu Shi’s ability to make up for his god-level brains, he has seen countless actors acting. After learning a role thoroughly, the figures of suitable actors can also appear in his mind.

It really didn't disappoint Chu Shi!

Looking through the list of actors listed by Jiang Beichuan as carefully as ever, Chu Shi's eyes flashed with joy, and a hint of praise was also raised in his eyes when he looked up at Jiang Beichuan.

This is why Chu Shiganggang did not criticize Jiang Beichuan for being too high a makeup artist. Although his reputation is not obvious, Jiang Beichuan's professional ability is really strong!

From important supporting roles, such as the parents and brothers of the No. 1 male protagonist Chu Shi in the TV series, to an actor with only a few lines, during this period, Jiang Beichuan listed several suitable actors.

Four to six important supporting roles, two or three small supporting roles, but without exception, they are all very suitable for this role. Even if they cannot achieve perfection, it is already quite difficult.

Most of the actor lists listed by Jiang Beichuan are not very famous second- and third-tier actors, and a few first-tier actors are also professional supporting roles. First of all, in terms of pay and invitation difficulty, it is very suitable for Chu Shi's debut work.

And during this short period of time, Ekigakawa and Miyazaki Nami also contacted major famous agents and brokerage companies through friends in the circle. Without relevant professional departments, they gave a very detailed summary of the recent details of the actors listed on the list.

Some people are filming, some are idle at home, some are busy with other things and cannot free up the current episode, and some people express their willingness to put down the work at hand and can come here at will, just for a more important role in the TV series.

Each actor also made detailed additions, and Chu Shi also understood it at a glance.

After a while, Chu Shicai handed back the actor list to Jiang Beichuan and nodded with satisfaction, "Overall, it is very good. You can see how professional director Jiang is. In this way, I can also entrust all the relevant work of the cast and crew to you to complete!"

"Mr. Chu means..."

"Since Director Jiang knows everything about the cast and crew and I also agree with this list very much, Director Jiang can invite the actors you like, and I have no problem here!"

"real?!"

Jiang Beichuan exclaimed, thinking that at least three or five of the cast members he listed would be replaced, and it would be delayed for a few days, but he didn't expect that Chu Shi nodded and agreed so happily.

"So, the TV series crew can be officially established in less than three or five days?" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
