Chapter 46 "Hegemony"

"Fuck!"

"It's scary. Who would dare to think about making a TV series with 6 million yuan?"

"What's the highest record in the country?"

"Is this news true or false? Hype?"

"Many movies don't have such a big investment, and they feel like pure hype."

"false promotion?"

"Excellent, what kind of filming will be made with so much money? Looking forward to the second season of Dragon Snake."

The Internet was full of discussions. Apart from netizens, a large group of directors and stars also exploded, and some of them even had the same status as Zhou Chuan.

A guide post.

"The second season of The Romance of the Dragon and Snake was shot with as much as 6 million yuan? What kind of concept is this? The highest investment in domestic recorded TV dramas seems to be more than 2 million yuan. It caused a sensation at the time, but now it has tripled suddenly? To be honest , I don’t believe this news, I feel it’s hype, and I’m looking forward to Xuanyu’s official response.”

"A TV series needs 6 million filming funds? Some companies also need to have a certain degree of publicity. It is useless to blindly exaggerate. It is better to focus on the quality of the series."

"Supreme" set.

A few days ago, Beast Fist finally finished the finale of the last episode. The data was bleak and far from ideal. There was a lot of scolding on the Internet, and the rating website only gave a score of 3.8.

With the support of his father, Zhou Quan started shooting a new product again.

This is "Hegemony".

It is also a movie about martial arts, with some plot and love scenes mixed in the middle.

Because of Zhou Chuan, the crew recruited a young actor who has become popular recently to play the leading role, and several movie stars joined the cast. They also attracted investment from Ai Gua, and now they have entered the filming stage.

Having just finished filming a scene, Zhou Quan was a little tired, so he wiped a handful on his face and prepared to sit down and rest.

The set is very stuffy, and the crew is constantly busy, preparing the equipment needed for the next scene.

"Dad, Second Uncle, Uncle Tian."

As soon as Zhou Quan sat down and took a sip of water, he saw his father leading his second uncle Zhou Tao and an elder from Aigua over, and quickly stood up to greet him.

Zhou Chuan waved his hand to say hello, indicating that he didn't have to get up, and walked up to him and asked concerned: "How is it? Is there anything wrong?"

Several movie stars joined in for his sake. He was afraid that his son would not be able to suppress them and would come to the set to suppress the show when they had time.

"No problem, the seniors are pretty good, but the leading actor's acting skills are not good enough."

Recalling the situation during the filming, Zhou Quan reported in a low voice.

The young Xianrou who played the leading role was sitting not far away, he didn't dare to speak loudly for fear of being heard by the other party.

"It's okay, it's almost fine." Zhou Chuan found a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "He is still young, and his acting skills are almost normal. However, this person has a lot of traffic and many fans, so he was recruited as the leading actor That's what I'm looking at, it doesn't matter if my acting skills are almost or almost."

The male protagonist of this drama is the champion of Ai Gua's talent show. He is handsome, can sing and dance, and has a very large fan base online. He has tens of millions of followers on his Guangbo account. Zhou Chuan specially asked his friend Ai Gua to recruit him. Yes, just so that the drama of Hegemony can get some light.

So he thinks it's okay if his acting skills are close to nothing. Anyway, it's enough for someone with traffic to be handsome, and many female audiences like this.

The heroine is also a similar candidate. She is also a new star in the industry. She has acted in several costume dramas. She is a good example of a sweet voice but poor acting skills.

With this pair, the broadcast volume of Hegemony Future will not be less.

Zhou Quan nodded to express his understanding, without saying anything more, and asked instead: "What's the news from Zhang Yang?"

"I asked your second uncle to investigate these few days, you can ask him, I will take your Uncle Tian for a stroll."

Aigua has invested 5000 million in Hegemony, and there will always be someone to watch over it.

Tian Wen is the person sent by Aigua, and he has a good relationship with Zhou Chuan, and they have been in contact with each other on weekdays.

The two walked away talking and laughing.

When the two walked away, Zhou Tao sat down and unscrewed a bottle of water, grinning and said: "Don't worry, I just got the news that there are two characters in the second season of Dragon Snake who can't find suitable actors." , I heard that you are worrying."

Hearing this news, Zhou Quan frowned and asked in doubt: "Huh? No way? He relies on Douyin, so resources must be indispensable. Why can't he find a suitable actor?"

"Then I don't know." Zhou Tao shook his head: "Anyway, that's what I heard."

Is that right?

Zhou Quan was a little puzzled.

What kind of actors are not available in the industry and can't find two suitable ones?

He took out his mobile phone and searched for relevant information on the Internet, but he did not find any traces.

Flipping through it, I saw the news that Dragon Snake invested 6 million in the second season.

During this period of time, he has been busy filming and rarely looked at his mobile phone, so he didn't even know about the news about Dragon Snake.

Seeing it at this moment, he was startled, picked up his phone and pointed it to Zhou Tao: "Second Uncle, read this news."

"What?" Zhou Tao took a look at the phone, his eyes widened like copper bells, and he couldn't help muttering to himself: "6 million for a TV series? It's too much."

Putting down his phone, after a while, Zhou Tao took a few deep breaths and said, "Is it possible that this is fake news? There are many examples of deliberately exaggerated propaganda in the industry."

"I don't know." Zhou Quan shook his head, his face was a little ugly: "There are not a few people who doubt it, and there are also people who think it is true."

Not to mention others, anyway, he was really a little scared.

The expression on his face was constantly changing, and the hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

How much did you vote for Hegemony?
Aigua 5000 million, Guangguang Culture invested 2700 million, Zhou’s family invested 1500 million, his old investors partnered to invest 3000 million, his father pulled 6000 million, and several actors from the crew joined forces to invest 2000 million , plus a few odds and ends, the total is almost 1000 million, and the total is just over 2 million.

This time, because it was related to the bet, no one dared to reach out, which meant that this was a real 2 million, all of which was used for filming.

In addition to counting the main actors, he didn't get a high salary for his father's face. After deducting these, there are at least 80% of the production funds. batch of TV shows.

Originally, he was still very confident. With such a huge amount of funds, how can the second season of Dragon Snake compare with Hegemony?
In the end, Zhang Yang invested 6 million yuan?

With such a large sum of money, what kind of TV series will be produced?

He was a little scared just thinking about it.

Hearing the worries in his heart, Zhou Tao was obviously a little scared, but he still insisted: "It must be fake, there are a lot of similar things in the circle, and there are quite a few people who obviously invested 1 million and boasted 2 million. He snapped his fingers and recalled: "Like last year's movie, it was advertised that it cost 3 million yuan, but how much did it actually cost?"

"And the TV series from the year before last"

After counting several of them in detail, the more he talked about it, the more he felt more relaxed. Finally, he comforted him: "It must be fake. In fact, there may not be half of them. Don't worry."
