After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 6 Yang Mi is very expensive

"That's all?" Manager Qiao said with a lingering look.

"And that's all."

"It's a great shot! I didn't expect Mr. Li, at such a young age, to be so skilled in this field. He captured the essence of the shot without being too explicit." Manager Qiao said excitedly, slapping his thigh.

Seeing that Manager Qiao was very optimistic about the Diaosi man, Li Mingyang struck while the iron was hot and asked for money.

Manager Qiao hesitated for a long time and offered a production fee of 10,000 yuan per episode, with each episode not less than 20 minutes.

Li Mingyang smiled slightly, turned off the computer and left.

"Mr. Li, what do you mean? If the price is not right, we can negotiate again."

"You've seen the sample film. This kind of web series won't be too long. Each episode is only about ten minutes long. Each episode has six or seven stories, lots of laughs, and clever ideas. The screenwriter fee alone is 10,000 per episode. I think we should just forget about it. I'll go talk to Sohu and LeTV."

Manager Qiao hesitated for a moment but did not try to stop him. He could see that this young man who had just started out had a big appetite.

Although Youku's next major direction is to produce its own dramas and purchase copyrights to completely eliminate piracy.

But the general direction is the general direction. Currently, domestic video websites cannot do without zero-cost pirated traffic.

Manager Qiao can still accept a self-produced drama if the price is within 100,000 yuan, but if it is higher, he dare not make the decision.

After all, doing nothing is not bad, but doing more is more wrong...

He didn't need to risk his career for a student.

……

"Tudou and Youku are the same. Poor!" Li Mingyang looked back at the building where Youku's headquarters is located and complained.

Let’s go to the next one, LeTV.

LeTV is not just a video website, its business scope is very broad, covering film and television production and distribution, e-commerce, and communication technology.

Lao Jia is a legendary businessman.

Never cheat the poor.

Li Mingyang went to LeTV with full confidence and told the front desk that he was the director of Goodbye Jinhua Station. Soon someone came to receive him.

The two sides exchanged greetings for a while, and Li Mingyang showed the other party a sample film.

The other party was more professional than Manager Qiao of Youku and recognized Yang Mi at a glance.

"These actors are all very well chosen, and the plot is interesting. We will keep the original cast and shoot the film. If you make an offer and it's reasonable, we will sign the contract today."

"Yang Mi is very expensive. If the cooperation is reached, I hope your company will be responsible for her salary."

"can."

After getting the other party's promise, Li Mingyang opened the budget plan of the Diaosi Man.

The first season has ten episodes, each episode is about fifteen minutes long, and each episode has six or seven stories.

Venue rental fees, equipment rental fees, actor salaries, behind-the-scenes salaries, scene construction fees, costume fees, props fees, screenwriter fees, accommodation fees, food and beverage fees... and various miscellaneous fees.

The total budget is 1.3 million.

"This price...we need to hold a meeting to discuss it."

Li Mingyang heard the hidden meaning and thought that there was something to talk about, but there was not much hope.

I just think it’s too expensive.

Although the budget is indeed expensive, he can make a small profit of one million from it.

But he can produce good, genuine stuff.

It's much better than those projects that took tens of millions of dollars, did nothing, shot a few episodes of material, and then the producer ran away.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of keeping him, Li Mingyang was about to pack up his notebook and leave.

The other party asked if they could keep a copy of the sample for use in the meeting.

Li Mingyang chuckled, ignored the other party, put the notebook into his bag, and left.

In the next ten days, Li Mingyang visited Sohu Video, PPTV, Ku56, .com...

Every company is interested in producing its own dramas, but none of them are willing to invest too much.

The highest bidder was LeTV, which wanted to copy. It was 300,000 for ten episodes, and Yang Mi's fee was not included.

With this little money, Li Mingyang could only get a fixed salary and no other benefits, so he chose to lie down.

In a blink of an eye, the Beijing Film Academy was about to have its summer vacation, and the three roommates all found jobs, some doing odd jobs on the crew, some shooting for magazines, and some being models. Li Mingyang was the only one left in the dormitory, lying flat on his back.

It was noon when Li Mingyang was awakened by the heat.

He lit a cigarette to sober himself up, walked to the window and pushed it open.

The sky is blue today and the weather is hot.

"There's still more than a month left... We'll have a chance once the filming of Chinese Paladin 3 starts."

These days, others think he is a nobody, but he is actually thinking about how to make his first pot of gold.

After much thought, he decided to target Liu Shishi.

There are not many simple female stars in the entertainment industry. Liu Shishi is one of the relatively simple ones. Even after her divorce and comeback, she is still a bit simple, all thanks to Yang Mi's help.

Peach blossom eyes have a miraculous effect on Liu Shishi!
At this time in 08, Liu Shishi had already filmed many movies, accepted many endorsements, and shot many commercials, so she should have had quite a bit of money in her piggy bank.

It should be one million, right?
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have it.

When the nightshade turns red, there will be more money in Liu Shishi’s small treasury!
Li Mingyang was recalling his several encounters with Liu Shishi when his cell phone suddenly rang.

When I took it out, it turned out to be Manager Qiao from Youku.

"Hey."

"Mr. Li, are you free now?"

"how?"

"We want to discuss cooperation with you about Diaosi Men."

"alright."

“Remember to bring swatches and a budget.”

……

Since he had nothing to do anyway, Li Mingyang accepted Manager Qiao's invitation and came to Youku headquarters again.

In this negotiation, in addition to Manager Qiao, there was also a strange middle-aged man.

His surname is Dong, he is about 1.6 meters tall, not very good-looking, and is a producer who was hired by Youku at a huge price.

This person is a professional. He watches movies very slowly, pausing often to comment on the plot, actors, and rhythm.

After watching the sample film, you have to look at the budget plan.

After a long while, Producer Dong took off his glasses and said, "Your price is too high."

"Let's be frank. I have visited many video companies these days. You are all aware of the conditions offered by other companies, right?" Li Mingyang said.

Manager Qiao nodded. Producer Dong said nothing, but squinted his eyes and looked at Li Mingyang.

"The budget is here. If you think it's expensive, you can go shoot it yourself! You've seen the samples, and you can definitely shoot better than me."

"Mr. Li, don't say such angry words. We are here to talk to you because we trust you. So... according to LeTV's conditions, we will take care of Yang Mi's salary. In addition, we will provide the venue, accommodation, and clothing. Forty thousand per episode, a total of four hundred thousand, what do you think?"

"Forty is unlucky."

"How much do you think is appropriate?"

"It's not what I think, but what you think. If the budget is sufficient, there are sufficient ways to shoot, and if the budget is insufficient, there are insufficient ways to shoot. Producer Dong should be clear about this, right?"

Producer Dong was silent for a while and left the room.

After a while, Manager Qiao received a call and went out. Before leaving, he asked Li Mingyang to wait a little longer.

I waited for half a day and finished half a pack of cigarettes before Manager Qiao came back.

"Mr. Li, let us package the entire project for you, a total of 880,000 yuan, it's very auspicious."

Li Mingyang was delighted, but he still pretended to bargain for a while. When he saw that the price couldn't be higher, he reluctantly agreed.

When signing the contract, Li Mingyang saw a clause and frowned slightly, "You want to send a producer?"

"As an investor, don't you have this little bit of power?"

"I feel like Producer Dong and I don't get along well."

"Haha, don't worry, the producer is not him, but a beautiful lady."
