China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 35: Repay Lu Langjun if you are kind

The three settings correspond in turn to the sense of tension (one hundred days), the sense of expectation (kissing), and the forced suppression of the protagonist (returning to the main line of love).

Combining the settings and previous story outlines, He Ran thought about it and figured out the plot of dozens of episodes.

A woman chases a man. The man knows that he is about to leave Blue Star and rejects the woman's love. Then, during the contact, the man slowly falls in love with the woman and is about to respond to her.

The woman backed down.

In this way, the ambiguous period between the two can be extended indefinitely, and the ambiguous period is also the easiest place for idol dramas to attract ratings.

Just like a strategy game, you are most motivated before you get it, but once you get it, the excitement immediately drops by half.

In addition, between the male and female protagonists, they can occasionally give out small benefits.

For example, the male protagonist uses the superpower of stopping time to secretly kiss the female protagonist.

After the benefits are distributed, hand over the knife immediately!
Because of the setting, every time the male protagonist kisses the female protagonist, he does so at the risk of his life.

Respond to love with life, a high-quality plot!

Boom!
Boom!
At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Outside, Liu Yan pushed open the glass door and walked in with two folders.

"President Lu, here are the documents you want."

"Sorry, Mr. Liu."

Lu Yuan took the documents and pushed one in front of He Ran. Printed inside was the synopsis of the story of "My Love from the Star".

Or rather the details.

Just like the album production route, Lu Yuan's first TV series must of course be a blockbuster drama.

In the field of idol dramas, "Star You" is definitely one of the classics.

Although Lu Yuan cannot restore it one to one, as long as he grasps the key points and then slowly refines the script, it is not difficult to reach a level similar to the original version, not to mention surpassing the original version.

The success of "Star You" is due to several reasons.

First, the character design is outstanding and lovable. It is not the stereotyped combination of rich boy + gray princess, or poor boy + rich daughter.

Second, the setting is novel enough, and all superpowers serve love.

There is a saying in Journey to the West, 'The man I love is an unparalleled hero. One day he will come to marry me wearing golden armor and holy clothes and riding colorful auspicious clouds.'

In a sense, the male protagonist of "Star You" is this kind of character. Whenever the heroine is in danger, the male protagonist will use his superpowers to save the situation.

This alone can ignite the female drama-seeking community.

Third, the plot structure is cleverly designed, including suspense parts and sugar-spreading parts. Of course, there is also a knife.

Suspenseful, sadistic, and sweet, it is full of classic elements of Korean dramas.

If this drama was filmed in advance and brought to the present, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would be a blow to the dimensionality reduction.

The sniping "Let's Watch Thunderstorm" was just incidental. Lu Yuan invested in filming this drama. The main purpose was to launch Star Media's first shot into the film and television industry!
After filming this TV series, Lu Yuan will start filming his first movie non-stop.

The release date of the movie will naturally be scheduled after the TV series is broadcast, and the male and female protagonists of the movie will still use the male and female protagonists of "Star You".

You still have to rub in the heat that needs to be rubbed in.

Just rub it, what happened?
The male protagonist of "Star You" must be Lu Yuan, and the selection of the female protagonist must follow the principle of not leaving the money to outsiders.

We must also follow the bottom line of repaying kindness.

Therefore, ex-girlfriend Zeng Li is the best choice.

How could Lu Yuan, a generous person like him, repay the 'great kindness' of getting the first pot of gold by simply giving away hundreds of billions.

A gift from your ex-girlfriend is a real gift.

In addition, Zeng Li's acting skills and age are more in line with the heroine's setting. The heroine of "Star You" definitely cannot be a girl in her early twenties.

Match, no.

Zeng Li, 31, is just right.

After a moment, He Ran looked up and sighed. "Mr. Lu, I can't find any other words to describe this book other than awesome!"

The detailed outline given by Lu Yuan is very complete, and the context of the plot is clearly visible. All that is needed is to fill it with flesh and blood.

For a mature screenwriter, this job is not too difficult.

Lu Yuan smiled, stood up and said.

"Then happy cooperation?"

"Happy cooperation!"

During the conversation, the two people's hands were tightly held together.

"Next, please take care of Teacher He!"

After the cooperation was agreed upon, Lu Yuan discussed the details of the script with He Ran. During the process, he did not forget to draw a pie for He Ran.

"About the specific plots of the first few episodes, this is what I think..."

……

"Mr. He, our budget is 100 million for a single episode. This is definitely the most expensive idol drama in the Mainland!"

……

"We at Star Media have invested so much to make this drama a benchmark!"

"In the future, whenever others see idol dramas, they will definitely think of Star Media and "My Love from the Star"!"

“That’s what this show is about!”

After hearing these words, He Ran decisively ate the cake. At this moment, there was only one sentence left in his mind.

[The production cost of a single episode is 100 million! 】

Among all TV types, modern dramas are recognized as having low production costs, with the average production cost per episode ranging from 20 to 40.

The average cost of a single episode of the most expensive costume drama is only between 50 and 80.

Investing millions in a single episode of the idol drama really shocked He Ran.

You get what you pay for, the same plot, the same production team, the quality of a movie shot with 50 yuan is definitely not as good as the quality of a movie with 100 million yuan.

With a production cost of one million + excellent plot + groundbreaking setting + popular Wang Luyuan, this drama is bound to be a hit!
And it's not an ordinary fire!
Thinking of this, He Ran was really fired up, and there was a sense of excitement in his heart that was the first of its kind!
The door to a new world is slowly opening to him!

Seeing He Ran's flushed face, Lu Yuan nodded secretly. In fact, the production cost of one million per episode was not all a cakewalk.

The original version of "Star You" has a total of 21 episodes, each episode is about 60 minutes.

A single episode of one hour is undoubtedly not suitable for the domestic broadcast system, so Lu Yuan split the plot to a certain extent, from the original 21 episodes to 28 episodes.

Or water after water, it can be filled up to 30 episodes, which is not impossible. After all, TV stations purchase episodes and pay according to the number of episodes.

The million per episode he mentioned was calculated based on 21 episodes.

In other words, the total investment in "Star You" is 2100 million, and it is controlled by Star Media, with a minimum share of 70-80%.

"Star You" is expected to start filming at the end of this year. At that time, with the popularity of the first album, it should not be difficult to get some sponsorship.

Generally speaking, under the premise of ensuring quality, the production cost is reduced to less than 2000 million, which is not a big problem.

In August, Lu Yuan's personal account is about to receive 8 million. Of this money, he will only keep 5000 million, and the remaining money will be handed over to his cousin Lu Jing for operation.

Lu Yuan is not greedy. He will be very satisfied if he can get two or three times the return.

Half of the 1000 million left was used for company operations, mainly to hoard copyrights, and the remaining 500 million was used as start-up capital for TV series.

After the filming of "Star You" officially started, it was almost the end of the year. With Lu Yuan's ability to attract money, he could earn between 2000 and [-] million in half a year without any pressure at all.

Even if the money doesn't arrive in time, he can use his future expectations as collateral to get a loan for filming.

Loans are also a skill.

Lu Yuan does not reject loans. A reasonable limit of debt will not bring down the company, but will accelerate its expansion.
