The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 103 Close-up
In the 80s, mainland TV dramas were in their infancy and exploration stage, and actors' remuneration was more like a performance subsidy.

In the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", the highest paid for the show are producer Ren Dahui and director Wang Fulin, at 70 yuan per episode.

And Baoyu, Daiyu, and Baochai starred in 60 yuan per episode.

The filming cycle of the 88 version of "Journey to the West" lasted for six years, but the salary of Teacher Liu, who is the absolute leading actor, was only 70 yuan per episode.

The salary of 70 yuan per episode was already the worth of a first-line male star back then.

Entering the 90s, the remuneration of TV drama actors went from rising to soaring.

In the 94 edition of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when Zhuge Pifu talked about the filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the media, he joked that everyone was [-].

At that time, the salary of a producer and director was about 250 yuan.

The main actors Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, etc. all have the same salary standard, which is basically 225 yuan.

By the middle of the 90s, the value of first-line actors had risen enough to make them a million-dollar household every episode.

At the same time, based on the market appeal and the optimism of mainland investors, artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan began to test the waters of mainland nuggets.

Since 96, the leaders of the private film and television industry have begun to invite stars from Hong Kong Island to film in the mainland.

Including Tang Zhenzong, Zhang Min, Wen Bixia, Li Zi, etc.

Their pay is basically based on the pay for filming on Hong Kong Island.

Tao Dayu's asking price when filming "The Wind and Cloud Years" was 12 per episode, and Wen Bixia's 6 per episode.

Second-tier Hong Kong and Taiwan artists average about 2 per episode.

Entering the new century, the remuneration of mainland actors has risen all the way.

After 2003, for the first time, the value of mainland actors surpassed that of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.

At that time, the flu was raging, the financial crisis came, and inflation was serious.

Artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan not only did not raise their prices, but even lowered their salaries.

After Su Youpeng became popular in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", the salary should have been increased to about [-] to [-] per episode, but it was reduced to [-] to [-] at that time.

First-line beauties like Zhu Yin and Li Zi come to mainland China to film dramas, and the asking price is only [-] to [-] per episode.

On the contrary, the salaries of local artists in mainland China are generally bullish, which is about 20% higher than that of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists of the same level.

The sharp shrinkage of the entertainment market in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the vigorous development of the film and television market in mainland China accounted for the main reason.

Entering 07, the quotations of mainland TV drama actors now reach 18 for a single episode, among which Chen Baoguo and Chen Dao are the most famous.

The remuneration of first-line actors has usually reached 15 yuan per episode, and the single-episode salary of individual second-tier actors is also close to 10 yuan.

Popular niche actors such as Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao also pay 6 yuan and 8 yuan per episode.

Because it is the first time to act as a leading role, and this drama is fully invested by the company.

Therefore, Huayi intentionally raised Lu Yuan's worth, and this time he offered him 2 yuan for a single episode.

Compared with the previous episode of 5000-8000, the salary has increased greatly.

However, considering the signing share, in fact, not many are obtained.

After the makeup is set, the next step is to start the machine and worship God.

After the ceremony was over, the red envelopes were distributed, and the crew officially started work.

This is Tian Youliang's first time as a TV drama director, so there were many small problems in the initial shooting.

For example, it was discovered that the camera was placed in the wrong position after the shooting started, or the detailed discussion with the actors was not in place.

Fortunately, with the help of producer Li Bo, there were no major problems.

Since deciding to enter the feature-length film and television drama track, Huayi has signed three TV drama production studios in the past two years.

One of them is Li Bo's second studio.

The other two are Zhang Jizhong's First Studio and Kang Honglei's Tianyi Film and Television.

The investment of "The Difficult Love of the Diamond King and the Fifth" is entirely led by Li Bo.

This person is still Che Xiao's nobleman, and the reason why the other party was able to hook up with Huayi was because of his behind-the-scenes efforts.

Today I filmed the scene where Lin Yuxin and Meng Hao met for the first time.

Lin Yuxin was knocked down by a pedestrian on the way to school by bicycle.

The bicycle accidentally scratched the sports car parked by the side of the road.

The owner of this car is Meng Hao.

Pedestrians ran away in a panic, but Lin Yuxin did not leave immediately, but wiped the scratches carefully.

This scene happened to be seen by Meng Hao, who arrived just in time. He sat at the open-air tea stand by the street and quietly watched the other party's next move.

Lin Yuxin waited for a long time but did not wait for the owner of the car.

Because she was in a hurry to go to class, she had to leave a note of apology in the car and write down her phone number before riding away.

Meng Hao witnessed the whole accident from beginning to end, and Lin Yuxin's innocence and openness made him feel good.

"The audience is quiet."

"Action!"

With a white shirt on his upper body, black suit pants on his lower body, and sunglasses, Lu Yuan walked slowly towards the car with figure eight steps.

After taking two steps, he stopped suddenly, took off his sunglasses, and looked in the direction of the sports car in surprise.

He parked on the side of the road, don't touch me, I was rubbed, and the girl looked like she was still a college student.

Wearing a ponytail, carrying a lavender backpack, rustic, lying in front of the car and constantly cleaning.

Lu Yuan stopped, folded his arms and looked around.

It was not a problem to stand all the time, so he simply pulled over the chair of the tea stall and sat down, staring at the other party with great interest.

At first, Che Xiao was not satisfied with his style.

A white shirt with a purple schoolbag looks old-fashioned.

Her appearance is not too prominent in the circle.

At first glance, it seems dull, but the temperament is cold, in other words, it is very stylish.

But considering the heroine's status as a college student, she had no choice but to accept it.

The arena is still going on.

Seeing that the girl was still hovering in front of the car, Lu Yuan stood up and planned to walk over to listen to her explanation.

At this time, a middle-aged wage earner in a suit and leather shoes passed by, and Lin Yuxin, played by Che Xiao, mistakenly thought that the other party was the owner of the car.

She quickly waved her hand, but unfortunately she was ignored.

Seeing this scene under the parasol, Lu Yuan suddenly touched his chin.

His fingers were very slender, and with the meaningful smile on his face, Marysu got up instantly.

Tian Youliang, who was sitting behind the monitor, saw Lu Yuan's expression clearly, and was stunned for a while.

He suddenly picked up the loudspeaker at his feet and shouted, "Ka."

His voice was so abrupt that even the assistant director Yi Han beside him didn't react.

Not only Lu Yuan was stunned, but even Che Xiao who was cleaning the car surface straightened up.

What's the situation, why did you suddenly stop?
Tian Youliang clapped his hands and signaled, "Adjust the position of the camera. Later, when Lu Yuan touches his chin again, the machine will push forward for a close-up."

The head of the photography team was dissatisfied. Who in the crew didn't know that the director had just changed careers, and he knew shitty photography!
There are specialties in the art industry, and the most taboo thing on the set is to pretend to understand and direct blindly.

He perfunctorily said, "Director, are you just adding a close-up?"

Tian Youliang glanced at him, nodded, "Yes!"

This is also the reason why he insisted on proposing Deng Chao as the hero.

He knew in his heart that he might not be able to hold back these old sticklers on the set.

After all, they are all from Li Bo's studio and belong to Huayi's internal personnel.

If the male lead is of one mind with him, then his situation will be much better.

unfortunately
Thinking of this, he glanced at Lu Yuan indifferently.

Producer Li Bo was very clear about this matter.

He nodded lightly to the photography team leader: "Move the machine quickly!"

The photography team leader immediately nodded and walked away.

"Okay, let's continue shooting!"
