Chapter 816 He Jiong’s purpose of coming
Manager Sun's Regal Hotel is a four-star hotel. Although it looks like a four-star hotel, the decoration is quite luxurious. The carpet under your feet is Afghan carpet, full of exotic style. Looking up, you can see the crystal from Germany. The chandelier's dazzling light freely swayed in the magnificent hall, adding an air of majesty out of thin air. Climbing up the stairs, the Indonesian mahogany handrails exude the fragrance of original mahogany.
This is the second year of the new century, and everyone's standards for star-rated hotels are still relatively strict. If it is based on later Chinese standards, the Regal Hotel will be rated as a super five-star hotel, at least five stars. A hotel of this level is within reach.
Manager Sun was still very satisfied with his hotel. At this time, he said with some show off: "Mr. Ye, my hotel lobby was designed by experts from home and abroad. The design fee alone is over one million. , look, what’s the difference between this hotel and those big hotels abroad?”
Manager Sun naturally meant that my hotel is not inferior to hotels abroad. But Ye Ming looked at it, thought about it and said, "I would like to ask Manager Sun, what is the positioning of your hotel? Is it a high-end foreign-related hotel, or just a high-end hotel?"
Manager Sun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Is there any difference between this?"
Ye Ming nodded very definitely and said: "Of course there is a difference. The difference in this matter is that in such a situation, the layout of the hotel, especially the lobby, is the first impression given to guests. If If you don't leave a good feeling for guests when entering the lobby, it basically proves that the hotel's decoration has failed.
If you are positioning yourself as a high-end hotel, that is, to receive domestic rich and wealthy people, then remove the oriental-style layout in the lobby and replace it with a Western one, such as Baroque style, Bohemian style, etc. In the previous paragraph, the masterpieces of Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh and others are hung up. They don’t ask people to understand them, but let people see them as high-end and classy. It is the enjoyment of Western royal nobles. It is best to have a harp in a corner of the hall. , with the blonde beauty playing on time.
If it's about foreign affairs, then get one with an oriental style, very Chinese style, a few works by Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian, I think it won't be difficult for Manager Sun to do it.
In the middle, there is the huge screen of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", which makes people feel bright and refreshed, and makes them feel like they have traveled through five thousand years of China. Then get a guzheng on one foot, and the beauty in Hanfu will play on time.
Only if you have your own style can it attract people. At this time, the lobby manager interjected and said: "Why do foreigners use Chinese style, while entertaining domestic people use Western style?" "
Ye Ming patiently explained: "When Westerners come to China, they see Chinese-style things. When you go to the United States, instead of seeing the Statue of Liberty, do you go to Chinatown to buy souvenirs from Yiwu Commodity City? If you want to deal with foreign affairs, you should have a stronger Chinese style. .
As for entertaining the rich, as long as it is high-end and classy, they don't understand the Western style. The more they don't understand, the more high-end it is. "
Manager Sun glared at the lobby manager and said, "Shut up, you can question Mr. Ye, so get out of here."
Manager Sun knew very well that Ye Ming could say that because of Wang Zhicai, not Wang Zhicai's friend. Ye Ming was too lazy to talk about these things. Therefore, in such a situation, one of his lobby managers dared to question Ye Ming , which is an impolite behavior in itself. Even if he meant to ask, it would be Manager Sun who asked him.
Ye Ming waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let me just say that, and you will just listen to it. Don't take it too seriously."
Because it was not lunch time yet, Ye Ming was arranged in the presidential suite at this time, and Teacher He Jiong naturally followed him.
The two of them brewed a pot of green tea. Teacher He Jiong said: "Mr. Ye, there is actually a reason for inviting everyone here this time. The leaders in the station are interested in starting the filming of the third part of My Fair Princess. I don't know. What does Mr. Ye think of this matter? Are you, a star who is used to big movies, interested in coming back and filming a TV series again?"
Ye Ming is the most difficult star to invite. Ye Ming's fame has already reached the big screen. Therefore, it is not easy to invite Ye Ming to participate in the filming of a TV series at this time.
Moreover, if Ye Ming is not invited, it will be difficult to tell the other starring roles of Huanzhugege. Speaking of which, it is still a matter of Ye Ming's appeal. As long as Ye Ming is invited to participate in the filming of the TV series, it will probably be easier for the remaining people to negotiate.
Ye Ming pondered for a moment and said, "It's not a matter of whether I am willing to participate or not. The key thing here is the price. I never avoid the issue of price. At the beginning, Zhao Wei and I were both worth It was 3,000 yuan per episode. In the second part, although there was a slight increase, it was not a big increase. But now, the price is naturally different.
The second series has more than 40 episodes, and the third one should probably be around this number as well. According to Zhao Wei and Lin Xinru's net worth, they should have 60,000 by now. Even if it is a friendship price, it is around 50,000. It won't be too low, otherwise Lin Xinru's score and Huayi Brothers wouldn't agree.
The net worth of these two people is four million. The first Huanzhugege back then had a total investment of only three million. This is a huge difference.
Price, this is the key factor. The key is to see how much money Aunt Qiongyao is willing to spend to film this TV series. If it's too low, we probably won't be able to reach an agreement.
As for myself, as far as I am concerned, in fact, my price, anyway, I heard that many people approached me to shoot a TV series with an episode of 120,000 yuan a year ago, but I was blocked by Sister Fang Fang. I didn’t even know the script. None were seen.
Do you know why? My price for Meteor Garden is 150,000, and I am the main investor in Meteor Garden. If it were Princess Huanzhu, even if I were willing to agree, it probably wouldn't be too cheap. Otherwise, even if I agree, my colleagues will not agree. "
The gap, this is the gap. At that time, Fan Binbin's price was only 15,000 yuan per episode, while Zhao Wei and Lin Xinru, as the leading actors of Huanzhugege, had 60,000 yuan as the starting price. The leading actors have the influence of the leading actors. The price is like this. Su Youpeng's price actually hovers between this number.
As a superstar in the Asia-Pacific region, Ye Ming's current influence in movies is beyond the reach of many actors.
The South Korean film "My Sassy Girl" has become a hit among people in almost the entire Asia-Pacific region and is regarded as a bible for chasing girls. This is a movie star with huge influence, and as an unspoken rule, the status of movie stars is higher than that of TV stars, and the status of TV stars is higher than that of variety stars.
If you want Ye Ming to return to star in TV series, you must at least give him a more appropriate price. It is too low. Even his peers say that Ye Ming has broken the rules.
If Ye Ming promised 60,000 yuan to star in Princess Huanzhu, then how can you ask Zhao Wei and the others to ask for remuneration? If Ye Ming promised 60,000 yuan, then Zhao Wei and the others would only get 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. As a person in the entertainment industry, no star would do that without a good reason.
Ye Ming obviously would not offend his friends and colleagues because of this.
He Jiong thought for a while and said: "This is indeed a difficult problem. I can't say how much Baodao and our station want to invest in filming the third part of Princess Fairy the Princess. But in such a situation, according to the The price you mentioned is probably unlikely. I think we still need to discuss this carefully to see if we can find a suitable solution."
In fact, Ye Ming himself knew very well that He Jiong's arrival was just a test. It was a small test and not a formal negotiation at all.
If it were a formal negotiation, the people who came out should be He Xiuqiong, Ouyang Yang and others. He Jiong tested Ye Ming's bottom line on this matter, and told Director Ou Yang after returning. At this time, everyone was at least aware of the basic attitude.
In this case, even if He Jiong and Ye Ming fail to achieve any results, it is harmless and there is room for change.
Sure enough, after He Jiong returned to the TV station, he told Director Ouyang what Ye Ming meant. At this time, Director Ouyang said with some embarrassment: "To be honest, this time, the investment in the third part of My Fair Princess" , it is indeed very large, but our total investment is only 20 million, Baodao's 13 million, and ours 7 million.
But if it is like what Ye Ming said, just talking about the salary of the four of them, half of the investment will be gone. If you add the salary of other actors, the remaining funds will be about 700 yuan, four More than ten episodes.
And looking at this posture, it is obvious that Qiong Yao will not make small fuss in the third part. He hopes to shoot more gorgeous scenes. It is simply impossible to support this financially. Therefore, what Ye Ming said is correct, it is difficult, this matter is not that easy to do. "
If it were not filmed by the original cast of Huanzhugege, then the third part would be a bit of a pity. But in terms of price, this is always an issue that no one can avoid. For Ye Ming, four million is the minimum. This is still a friendly price. Don’t think it’s too much. It’s not a return to the princess. Four million is enough for Ye Ming. Not for viewing.
As for Qiong Yao, to be honest, Qiong Yao's character is also very stubborn and will not compromise easily. Therefore, Director Ouyang Yang has some bad premonitions in his heart. This time, the third part of "Huan Zhuge Ge" wants to If the shooting is successful, it is not an easy task. (To be continued)
