    ,

    "Come on, Yuan Hua, let me introduce you. This is Frank. He plays the big villain Big Daddy."

    As soon as Wu Jing finished speaking, the burly middle-aged man stretched out his hand:

    "Hi, I'm frank.grillo, nice to meet you!"

    This actor is still a little famous, even before he starred in "Wolf Warrior 2", he was already a little famous.

    Frank played the role of the villain Crossbones in the movie "Captain America 2" in 2014, making him gradually familiar to mainland audiences.

    Yuan Hua shook hands with him, then naturally switched to English and said:

    "Nice to meet you, Frank. I'm Yuan Hua, you can call me Edward (Edward)."

    Frank nodded and said, "Cool! Edward, you speak English really well. Besides, I heard that you are very famous in Asia, isn't it?"

    If a compatriot asked this question, Yuan Hua would of course say where

    However, Westerners don't like this, so Yuan Hua admitted shamelessly:

    "That's right. But in fact, you are also very famous in our country. The crossbones (crossbones) you starred in before are impressive, and you have many fans in our country."

    Frank nodded and smiled and said: "Wow, Crossbones, this is indeed my most famous role! I am honored to be able to play him"

    The two exchanged a few simple greetings, and then Crossbones went to change clothes

    When the crossbones walked away, Wu Jing suddenly turned to look at Yuan Hua and said:

    "I didn't see it, you speak English pretty well!"

    Yuan Hua couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Did you forget that I made my debut in Korea? Our whole team can speak English more or less, and several of them are even as fluent as their mother tongue"

    After all, the Korean group has always insisted on taking the route of international groups, trying to squeeze into the European and American markets. How could the members not learn English?

    Yuan Hua's English is quite good. When interviewed by foreign media during the tour, he mostly acted as a spokesperson and translator.

    After all, as the face of the group, he himself is far ahead in the number of interviews by foreign media reporters, and he already has needs and motivations in this regard.

    In fact, long before their debut, the company hired foreign teachers to teach them how to speak English, and the English name Edward was also chosen at the request of the company at that time

    Moreover, Yuan Hua himself is very talented in language, otherwise he would not be able to earn extra money as a voice actor in his previous life

    "Brother Jing, your English name is Jason? I just heard Frank call you that"

    Wu Jingjing nodded and said: "Yes, Jason Wu. No matter how hard these foreigners teach me, they always mispronounce my name, so they can only pick one to deal with"

    "That's true"

    At this time another actor came in from the outside, Wu Jing was about to introduce the two of them, Yuan Hua reached out to stop him, then walked a few steps forward and stretched out his hand and said:

    "Teacher Wu Gang, long time no see!"

    Wu Gang also said quite kindly: "Haha, it's good, we meet again here again."

    Wu Jing waited for them to exchange pleasantries and said curiously, "You guys knew each other before?"

    Wu Gang took over the topic and said: "Isn't I still filming "In the Name of the People" before I came? This drama Yuan Hua is our great benefactor!

    If it wasn't for his generosity, our production crew would have almost gone bankrupt"

    Yuan Hua waved his hand and said, "Hey, Mr. Wu Gang's words are serious. I'm just optimistic about this drama. It's purely commercial, and it's not worth mentioning!"

    Speaking of "In the Name of the People", this drama is quite interesting, don't look at it as the highest-checked product¡ª¡ª

    In the previous life, director Li Lu took this Shangfang sword and went out to find money. The actors were willing to give three points, but the capital didn't quite buy it.

    At first, dozens of investors were interested in investing, and some even signed the contract, but in the end, they were worried that the risk of anti-corruption was too high and the scale was too large, so they directly tore up the contract and refused to pay.

    Screenwriter Zhou Meisen once said in an interview that there was an investor who was very interested in it at the beginning. He was instructed by an "expert" in the officialdom, saying that it would be very risky to avoid such things, and he finally chose to withdraw his investment.

    In the end, those who really dared to invest in this drama were a few small-scale private companies, and they were all newcomers to the industry.

    For these companies, they can't smell the top resources in the circle, so they can only take a risk.

    Until the filming started, the funding gap was still 20 million.  In the end, it was still up to the director Li Lu to put on an old face, and to borrow money from a few old acquaintances."Forcibly"the last sum of money was not received until more than ten days after filming.

    "In the Name of the People" has no small fresh meat to support the show, no top stars to carry the show, the leading actors are all old drama talents and acting schools, and even the youngest among the leading actors, Lu Yi, is 38 years old.

    It is said that the total remuneration of all the actors in the whole crew is only 48 million yuan, and as the lead actor, Lu Yi got the highest 20 million yuan.

    This is a 52-episode TV series. If Yuan Hua is invited to act, the money is not enough for him alone

    After all, Yuan Hua played "Zhu Xian" before, and his salary was calculated at 1 million per episode

    This is because this drama was cast and filmed by the company itself. If it is accepted by an outside drama, it must be more than this price.

    Later, "In the Name of the People" became a big hit. When Lu Yi was interviewed, he told reporters frankly that when he was first approached for the show, he refused because the pay was too low!

    It's a pity that if Yuan Hua was asked to act in this play, Yuan Hua would definitely not refuse, but the key point is that he really couldn't play Hou Liangping at his age.

    Just kidding, the 26 or 7-year-old Director of the Investigation Division of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office and the Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, don't check others first, check yourself first!

    Since he can't play the leading role, the other roles are not very interesting. At Yuan Hua's age, the only role he can play is Huang Mao (Zheng Shengli), the leader of the navy.

    However, Huang Mao is an extremely unpleasant character. After it went online, it caused huge controversy, and it is also a weakness that cannot be removed. Netizens agreed that there is no reason to add drama and just want to fast forward, which can be called the biggest failure of the show.

    Good guy, playing such a role will become a target of complaints after it goes online, unless Yuan Hua is out of his mind

    Not to mention the other roles, the roles are basically pitiful and lack the sense of presence, and there is no difference between participating or not

    Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Yuan Hua did not participate in the filming of this drama in the end, but only participated as an investor.

    The total investment of this play is 120 million, Yuan Hua personally invested 60 million, and received half of the investment, making him the largest investor in the whole play.

    This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Yuan Hua signed an exclusive sales contract with the crew afterwards.  Won the five-year exclusive TV station distribution rights and network exclusive distribution rights for 200 million and 150 million respectively.

    In fact, in the previous life, anti-corruption dramas were not very popular before the broadcast, so the crew of "In the Name of the People" also sold all the broadcasting rights and webcasting rights at a one-off price.

    Mango Channel bought out the five-year TV distribution rights for 220 million yuan, and pptv bought out the five-year webcast distribution rights for 200 million yuan.

    Special mark, this is a complete buyout of the distribution rights, unlike the previous "Zhu Xian" that only sold the first round, the second round, and the third round can continue to be sold for money, and online copyrights can also continue to be sold (although the big  Probability no one will buy)

    This is a one-off deal. After the sale, any deal within five years will have nothing to do with the crew!

    Mango Satellite TV can continue to sell to other TV stations for two or three rounds, pptv can also act as a second-hand dealer, and then resell it to other online platforms, as long as someone is willing to pay, but all these proceeds have nothing to do with the original crew

    The reason why Yuan Hua's price is lower than the price in his previous life is that the timing of signing the underwriting contract is different.

    In the previous life, Mango TV and pptv both made bids after watching the finished TV series after filming, but now Yuan Hua directly signed the underwriting contract when the project was just set up and started filming

    The latter is obviously much more risky, and of course the price will be cheaper

    The production cost of this script is only 120 million, which means that it has just started, and Taiwan + Internet directly recorded 350 million.

    The production crew not only paid back their capital immediately, but also made a net profit of more than 200 million yuan. Of course, the other party has no reason to disagree

    Although it is a buyout price, after all, the anti-corruption script is not favored in the first place. Whether it can be successfully released in the future has to be a big question mark It is good enough to make a lot of money, what more bike?

    Of course, for Yuan Hua, even though it cost 350 million, but because he is the largest investor, 350 million minus the cost of 120 million leaves 220 million.  Only more than 200 million were paid out

    You must know that this show has been the king of the show for 17 years. When the time comes to run it well, the copyright income can start at a billion yuan

    Therefore, this investment will surely become another highlight of Yuan Hua's legendary career?
