Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 70 Everything You Need

"Brother Hu, why doesn't Xuan Ye find an actor to play the role? I think the character design is very appealing."

Guo Hu said excitedly on the other end of the phone, "You don't have many scenes. You'll have to travel back and forth between Dunhuang and Hengdian. Only five people auditioned, and I'm not satisfied with any of them. Anyway, Xuan Ye is Ying Yuan's father, so it's reasonable that he looks the same. I'll definitely make your look more handsome, with white hair and black armor, and a red rune between your eyebrows. The stylist over there has almost finished the original painting."

The same goes for directors and actors.

The better the show is broadcast, the more bonuses you will get, and your status, voice and remuneration in the circle will be higher.

Xu Yien smiled: "Okay."

"Agarwood Like Crumbs" was scheduled to be released after October and was filmed until mid-January, which took almost two and a half months.

So Xu Yien has also been reading scripts these days, but they are all ancient idol dramas, or modern idol dramas, which requires him to be on the crew all year round. Having a lot of inventory is also good for the actors' continued exposure.

Domestic drama. How to say it?

Nowadays, idol dramas are all country-made and difficult to evaluate, but they are marketed as China's own Korean dramas.

It's so ugly when you open it, and I don't have much of a fan base now.

There are only a few good contemporary idol dramas released in a year. Dramas like the Zhenhua Trilogy and Twinkle Twinkle Star don't even make it into the top 40 of the authoritative domestic viewing volume rankings.

Word of mouth is word of mouth, but popularity is really not good enough. Low-cost shared-revenue dramas can never be compared with big productions.

Overseas exports still have to focus on ancient idol dramas, such as "Agarwood Like Crumbs", which is the key project of the annual national cultural export and the only TV series among the 115 overseas export projects. In fact, it is mainly because the styling of "Star Han Canlan" is a bit Japanese, and "The Legend of Cang Lan" is too European.

Although "Agarwood Like Crumbs" is not that popular, it is at least purely Chinese and more suitable for export. However, in China, this drama is still not as popular as the other two dramas. But as long as it is effectively broadcast and has actual results, it is fine.

It doesn't have to explode.

As long as it's a hit, the manufacturer doesn't lose money and can even make money, which is already better than too many actors. Twinkle Twinkle Star shared 1.1 million yuan, while Yunhe's playback volume was only 1600 million and the production cost was 6000 million yuan. If it were a first-line actor, they would be ridiculed for this result, but they still went ahead and made a movie version, not to mention other dramas. As long as the investment is not too big and the show doesn't flop too badly, the platform can make money.

A drama starring a popular actor, if it can be considered mediocre in the eyes of fans, is actually a hit in the eyes of the general public. If there is no reason to say it is a flop, then the only thing to say is that it is a failure. If all the data are up to standard, then the haters can only say it is a mediocre one.

Non-traffic actors' performances are much better than those of popular actors, but they can be touted as hidden gems, word-of-mouth dramas, and all kinds of praises, and even be touted as hit dramas. The audience has always been very tolerant of these people. As long as they don't fail miserably, they can be touted as hit dramas or even explosions.

All I can say is that they will never make it to the big team.

Because for the platform, they just don't make money. Xiaobai, who doesn't have much traffic but has good audience appeal and every drama is a hit, is the best choice. He started with an average of 5700 million per episode, and the cost was not high, so the income is naturally not the same. He is now focusing on both serious dramas and ancient costume dramas, and both sides have high-quality resources, which is a different route from general traffic.

Zhang Wanyi's resources for serious dramas are better than his, but her resources for ancient costume dramas are far inferior, and she doesn't have as many commercial endorsements. Simply put, she can't earn as much money as Xiaobai, nor can she get a top-notch ancient costume drama team.

After he reaped the benefits of Chang Xiangsi, he became more and more fond of ancient costume dramas.

The feeling of popularity brought by ancient idol dramas is really wonderful!

But he's not in a rush. He recently accepted the second male lead role in the drama "Children of the Qiao Family," starring the ascended Bai Yu. After wrapping up that period drama, he can continue filming period dramas. "Hungry, you lose your energy! Have a Snickers!" Today's shoot was for a Snickers commercial. Xu Yien, wearing a red jacket, tossed the Snickers bar, and the commercial officially ended. This was Xu Yien's 11th endorsement deal, worth 1250 million yuan a year.

In addition to Snickers, Xu Yien's 12th endorsement was provided by Kiwi Fruit. She is the global spokesperson for Kiwi TV and earns 800 million yuan a year. The combined net income of these two endorsements is 1189 million yuan for Xu Yien.

If he takes on a few more endorsements, Xu Yien will be worth billions. The deposit for "Agarwood Like Crumbs" has also been paid, and the payment is made in a 4:3:3 ratio, 40% as a deposit, 30% during the filming period, and 30% after the completion of the filming. The total salary here is 928 million after tax.

Now Xu Yien has truly achieved financial freedom. Even if he is banned, the money he has now is enough to live for several lifetimes.

There are already more than 84 million in the account, which is enough to live anywhere.

After having lunch with the brand sponsor at noon, Xu Yien rushed to his next trip.

Fu Liting looked at the itinerary recorded on his phone and said, "Next up is the Marie Claire magazine shoot, which is for Burberry's promotion and the November cover."

After saying that, Fu Liting smiled and said, "Dior bought Deng Wei two second-tier magazines for the golden September and silver October period, namely Fengdu Menus and Figaro Homme. Their combined value is not as high as your one of the top five women's magazines."

Xu Yien smiled, shook his head slightly and said, "It's useless to compare with him. It doesn't matter. I don't care anyway."

Fu Liting was also confused, but said, "The industry values ​​it. I don't know why. It's a cycle now. Everyone values ​​it and scrambles for resources, while the magazines reap the benefits. Hahaha. Mainly, I don't understand why second-tier magazines also have the saying "Golden September and Silver October." This saying is only used by the five major women's magazines. I can only say that they are just bragging and don't abide by the Basic Law."

"Did you find out Dior gave him the title?"

"I don't know yet. Let's see what happens next. Anyway, you are a Burberry spokesperson. Burberry doesn't have the title of global spokesperson, but I see that the fashion press releases Burberry bought for you all say that you are a global spokesperson."

Xu Yien chuckled: "I know this. The business contact said at the time that the Burberry title has no regional restrictions. No regional restrictions means it is global."

Next, all of Burberry's Kris advertising will be removed and replaced with Xu Yien, and LV will also remove the rest of the advertising to be replaced with Kris.

Everyone has a bright future, at least in the eyes of the public.

But Xu Yien is a prophet, he will go to jail sooner or later.

The press release that Burberry bought for Xu Yien boasted that she was the first Chinese global brand spokesperson. Previously, Kris's press release said that she was the first non-British global spokesperson. In short, as long as the qualifier is added, everyone is the first, but this first place does have its value, especially when there are so few high-end luxury spokespersons nowadays.

At least it is much more valuable than other high-end wholesale friends or wholesale ambassadors.

For example, Chanel and Dior both have the highest title ambassadors, so it is ridiculous that many fans use their own high-end luxury spokespersons to attack the other side's high-end luxury ambassadors, because they have the highest title and their status is also very high.

The reason why Xu Yien signed with Burberry is because Burberry provides sufficient resources, including global broadcasting and magazines. This alone is much better than the average resources of other high-end wholesale brands.

High-end luxury doesn’t just depend on the title, it also depends on the treatment.

　PS: Do you really have no female friends who watch dramas? My friend is currently watching Yun Zhi Yu and is obsessed with Gong Zi Yu.
