Li Ruotong has experience in producing and distributing film and television dramas.
Although they are all failed experiences.
After all, Li Ruotong is a business wizard who opened and closed the company.
Now that he is about to start a new project, Li Ruotong feels a little guilty.
However, both Yue Guan and Mo Xiangwan expressed their support and were willing to invest more. Li Ruotong could not find a reason to refuse.
She looked at Mo Xiangwan and started to work: "Xiangwan, if you want to film this drama, how much do you estimate the total investment will be?"
"Excluding the star salary, the investment will not be much. This drama focuses on creativity and emotion. It is actually a romance drama with a time-travel theme. The antagonist scenes are concentrated among several protagonists, and there are almost no war scenes. I will control the crew We will strive to control costs below 10 million."
Yue Guan: "... awesome."
Those high-reputation and high-quality film and television dramas before his time travel all pursued the exquisiteness of persuasion, but Mo Xiangwan obviously did not pursue this, otherwise their small company would definitely not be able to withstand the investment.
Yue Guan didn't have any objections, as long as it was about the same, the key to whether a film or television drama was good or bad was the script, and Fu Hua Dao came second. There are many film and television dramas with exquisite service, but the filming is a piece of shit, such as "A Dream of Red Mansions", "Kiuzhou Muyun Ji"...
With limited funds, one cannot ask for too much. Yue Guan is not a perfectionist.
Li Ruotong also read the script of "Love Through Time" and nodded after hearing Mo Xiangwan's words: "The key point is the actors' remuneration. With our existing funds, I'm afraid we can't afford to hire big-name actors. Let's talk about it." Can you add a lot of funds?"
Mo Xiangwan coughed lightly: "I can add up to five million more, and there will be no more."
Although she is a gold medal agent, she was just a part-time worker before, and she is only 30 years old this year. She is already very impressive for being able to accumulate so much assets.
Li Ruotong looked at Yueguan.
Yue Guan felt no pressure: "I can add as much as I want, but I personally feel that there is no need to hire big-name actors. Really big-name stars will definitely look down on a grassroots team like ours."
Although Yue Guan and Li Ruotong and Mo Xiangwan boasted about being the strongest entertainment company in the Dragon Kingdom, they could brag freely, but they had to be down-to-earth when actually doing things.
The reality is that the current Miracle Media, under the leadership of Li Ruotong, has not had any successful investment experience. Although the company is small and has all the internal organs, it has been losing money.
Yue Guan is also a singer who has been banned for three years and has no appeal in the film and television industry.
The only person with charisma is Mo Xiangwan, but the agent has no big-name stars, so he is just an empty shell and cannot fool anyone.
Li Ruotong also knows this, but she is worried about one thing: "If we don't find some well-known celebrities to participate in the show, how will we publicize it? Isn't it possible to rely on the smell of wine to be afraid of the alley?"
This is how she used to play.
Then he suffered a terrible loss.
This is indeed a problem.
No matter how much Yue Guan is optimistic about the time-travel drama, he cannot really wait for it to become popular on its own.
The success of "Palace" and "Bu Bu Jing Xin" back then was partly due to the blessings of Big Power and Liu Shishi's fame.
Mo Xiangwan put forward an opinion: "Look for stars who were once popular but are now outdated. Such stars are well-known, but have low pay and few requirements. They cherish opportunities and have no shortage of publicity points."
Yue Guan gave Mo Xiangwan a thumbs up.
A professional is a professional.
"I agree. I'll leave it to Sister Xiang Wan to find the specific candidate."
Mo Xiangwan nodded: "I will make a list as soon as possible, and then we will discuss the selection together."
He knows how to advance and retreat, knows how to measure, has extremely strong business ability, and the most important thing is that he is very beautiful.
Yue Guan was very emotional. Li Ruotong was better. Silly Baitian was easy to deceive. If he married Mo Xiangwan, it would be difficult to lie.
Since Mo Xiangwan was so awesome, Yue Guan naturally had nothing to say. He just added: "Try to choose actors according to the character settings written in the script, and don't be too far behind."
Mo Xiangwan nodded, and then asked Yue Guan: "Do you want to play Zhu Yunwen or Zhu Di?"
this is a problem.
As a time-travel drama, "Love Through Time" actually has four starring roles, Zhu Yunwen, Xiao Wanzi, Zhu Di, and Zhang Chuchu.
In summary, the plot is that the little thief sneaked into the Xiangcheng Convention and Exhibition Center in an attempt to steal a cultural relic called "Dream Dream Pillow", but was interrupted by the policewoman Zhang Chuchu. During the fight between the two, an astronomical spectacle occurred only once in a century - Thirteen planets aligned in a straight line at midnight, and at that moment the two disappeared out of thin air. When he woke up again, the little boy had arrived at the palace of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago. On the other hand, Zhang Chuchu also traveled to the Ming Dynasty but fell into the folk.
In order to return to the future, the little kid must get the Dream Pillow from Zhu Yunwen. To do this, she does not hesitate to take advantage of Zhu Yunwen's feelings for her. However, after a life and death disaster, the little kid finds that she has fallen in love with Zhu Yunwen.
On the other side, Zhang Chuchu, who suffered amnesia after hitting her head while traveling through time and space, mistook Zhu Di for her boyfriend Zhu Di in the 21st century, and fell in love with Zhu Di during the experience of sharing weal and woe with Zhu Di.
There is an undercurrent of power struggle in the palace. Although Zhu Yunwen is Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite grandson, the ambitious Zhu Di has always coveted the throne. Xiaowanzi and Zhang Chuchu wanted to reverse history, but in the end they were unable to do so.
The ending is that Zhang Chuchu stayed in the Ming Dynasty to accompany Zhu Di, while Xiao Wanzi and Zhu Yunwen all returned to modern times.
In terms of position, Zhu Yunwen is naturally the leading actor. This role was played by Xu Zheng in the previous life. It is definitely not Xu Zheng's classic role, but it does not hold him back. As long as he plays it well, he can easily attract fans.
But Zhu Di's role has richer layers and allows him to experience an actor's acting skills better.
The character Zhu Yunwen actually doesn't have much room for performance in terms of performance. He is mainly kind and infatuated, and basically nothing else.
Zhu Di is different. In the play, his love for Zhang Chuchu, his ambition for the throne, his affection for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen, his dissatisfaction, regret, entanglement, kindness... This character has many layers, and it will definitely be more enjoyable to play.
Li Ruotong was puzzled: "With Yue Guan's age, he must play Zhu Yunwen."
Mo Xiangwan shook his head: "Age doesn't matter, just put on makeup."
"Zhu Yunwen has a lot of roles, right?" Li Ruotong frowned.
"It can be changed. Yue Guan plays Zhu Di. Zhu Di will naturally have more roles than Zhu Yunwen." Mo Xiangwan was very domineering.
Li Ruotong was speechless.
Both women looked at Yue Guan: "Yue Guan, you can make up your own mind."
The question Yue Guan considered was very practical: "Sister Xiang Wan, do you think it is easier for Zhu Yunwen, who is silly but sweet but dedicated and infatuated, to attract fans, or Zhu Di, who loves beauty more than country?"
