Future Pictures, in the big conference room, several executives gathered here.

Production director Zhao Jun couldn't help but ask Du Yang, "Mr. Du, what is the matter with Director Li, who is in such a hurry to have a meeting?"

"I don't know, I just said everyone is here. Du Yang shook her head, and she was also confused at this time.

"I guess there's something big about it," Zhong Shuai, who is in charge of artist management, said that in the company, the most non-existent of various departments, and the lowest contribution is the artist agency department, except for Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang, there are only three or two kittens.

"Wait, there should be something announced, some time ago the two sessions were held, and Li Daogang met with Penguin and Ah Li, there may be something to do with it. Zhong Lifang said.

Distribution director Zhang Hao said with a smile, "Director Li really persuaded the two Ma Dong, if this is announced, they will appear in person, which is at least worth 20 million publicity money." ”

Huang Yandao, director of publicity and marketing, said, "Not to mention 20 million, it's worth doubling it, the two Ma Dong starred in person, and those companies under Penguin and Ah Liv are not allowed to accompany the publicity, just rush these two faces, and most young audiences will be curious to walk into the cinema." ”

"If you can invite these two to star in person, we will be Director Li in China. ”

"That's right, Ma Qingyang is okay, he likes to be in the limelight, but Ma Huaqian is very low-key. ”

"However, they agreed so easily, will there be other conditions? ”

"What conditions can there be, can you let Director Li help them shoot an autobiography and spread it through the ages?"

"The autobiography should not be, maybe it is to help them promote it. ”

....

They didn't have to wait long, and half an hour later, Li Qian walked in with a notebook.

"Director Li. ”

Everyone hurriedly got up.

"Sit down, let's talk to you about something today. ”

Li Qian waved his hand, sat down at the top of the table, and opened the notebook in front of him.

"Director Li, why are you in such a hurry to have a meeting?" Du Yang asked.

"It's not a big deal, it's about the future development direction of the film and television industry. ”

Li Qian told everyone about Chen Wu's big entertainment industry chain plan.

The amount of information is relatively large, and after digesting it, Du Yang hesitated a little and said, "In this way, Penguin plans to enter the film and television industry in an all-round way?"

Li Qian nodded, "This should mean it, they established Penguin Animation last year, and it can be said that the film and television industry is now short of it, and they will be able to complete the closed loop of the big entertainment industry in their mouth." ”

Penguin's idea is nothing more than subversive for them traditional filmmakers.

With the game and animation IP that has a certain reputation in itself, to reduce the threshold and difficulty of the film and television industry.

With these IPs with their own attention, the demand for big-name stars and famous directors will be much lower, and when the time comes, whether it is penguins or other capital, they will not only stand at the door waving checks, they will be able to stride in directly.

The most affected must be the traditional film and television companies, and it is estimated that the monopoly of several major companies in the industry is no longer possible.

Everyone was thinking, no one said anything, Li Qian also continued, "This is definitely a huge change for the industry, as long as this model is proved feasible in the next two or three years, it will definitely be a huge impact on traditional film and television companies, and our pressure will be great." ”

"But!"

Li Qian's words changed, "This will also accelerate the development of the film and television industry, and while facing the impact, the film and television market will quickly come to unprecedented prosperity, which will definitely move forward for the development of the entire industry." ”

Du Yang said, "Using well-known IP to replace the fame of big directors and big stars can indeed solve the problem of few famous directors and big stars in the industry.

However, if Penguin completes the so-called closed loop, coupled with the traffic and publicity capabilities of QQ and WeChat, then Penguin itself will be a complete small film and television circle behind closed doors, and all movies and TV series can be adapted through games, animation, or reverse.

The penguins can play their own games behind closed doors, and it's almost the same as a monopoly. ”

Hearing Du Yang say this, everyone looked sideways, "Penguin's ambition is so big?"

Li Qian shook his head, "It's not going to get to that point, no matter what, the penguins can't control the playback terminal, more than half of the theaters are state-owned, and they are controlled by China Film and provincial film companies, not to mention TV stations."

In the final analysis, in fact, the competition will be greater in the future, and it will face the competition of a large number of IP film and television dramas, but the choice of the film and television industry is in the hands of the audience after all. ”

"What about the TV series?" Zhang Jun couldn't help but ask.

"TV series doesn't cost money, but if it's not good-looking, just change the channel, the remote control is in the hands of the audience, even if it is played online, it is the same, and in the end, you still have to fight for quality. ”

Li Qian turned to smile and said, "Even if you can attract people by relying on IP alone, you mainly have to rely on the quality of the film and television drama itself to retain the audience, if you want to rely on IP to fool the audience, ignore the quality, and make a lot of bad movies adapted from IP for the audience to pay, then unless all movie theaters, TV stations, and video websites are all these bad movies adapted, it is impossible." ”

After thinking about it for a few days, Li Qian also thought it through, even if a generation of amateur-level film and television dramas in his mind really appeared as expected in a few years, it would only be a period of pain.

As long as the audience can distinguish the good from the bad, those bad movies will be eliminated by the market, and the choice is all in the hands of the audience.

Unless the market is full of bad movies, the overall level is lowered, and the audience has no choice, and it is different to see which one.

.......

I held a morning meeting and discussed the pros and cons of the big entertainment industry plan in an all-round way, and finally decided to cooperate with Penguin.

Li Qian announced the decision, "In that case, the company will set up a new development department to evaluate valuable games, anime, and various reverse adaptations that are suitable for film and television adaptations."

The production department was internally reorganized into the production department, the production department, and the production finance department, and Lao Zhang continued to serve as the director, and the heads of the three departments could be promoted or recruited internally.

The project evaluated by the development department will be handed over to Mr. Du for review, sent to the production department for adaptation, handed over to the production finance department for cost accounting, and then submitted to the company's finance department for review, which will be supervised by the producer and the production department, and produced by the production department. ”

Systems and procedures are a must for any company of a certain size, even if it is a little troublesome.

Compared to many large companies, this program is simplified enough, but it seems a little cumbersome.

A project goes through five departments, but in fact, compared to the original production and finance, there is only one more development department, but the adapted project has to go through the development department.

The production, production, and production finance departments that have been experienced in the middle are all within the production department, but the affairs of one department are subdivided into three.

"No problem Director Li!" Zhao Jun responded with excitement on his face, in this way, he, the production director, will have a rising status in the company.

"If you don't have any opinions, the general direction is like this, the specific details can be changed, or the production department can be changed to the planning department, otherwise there is another production department under the production department, which is weird. Li Qian said with a smile.

"If this is the case, the company's production team will be greatly understaffed, and it will not be able to produce such a project at the same time, so do you need to pull up several teams?" Du Yang asked.

Li Qian thought for a while and shook his head, "No, it's enough for the production team to be able to start four or five projects at the same time, and those adapted projects should cooperate with other TV stations and production companies as much as possible, and we will be responsible for investing, supervising, and handing over to them to produce." ”

"It's fine. Du Yang nodded.

"Strike while the iron is hot, the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Exquisite Ancient City" can start production, the company is not too good at TV drama production, go and ask Shanying if there is any intention, use second- and third-tier actors as much as possible, this kind of TV series is not long, and the cost of a single episode is also high, find some cheap and powerful actors, I don't care about fame. ”

"If you say "Ghost Blows the Lantern", it will not be easy to pass the trial on the stars, right?" Du Yang hesitated.

"The mountain shadow itself is in the physique, they are sure in their hearts, the title of the film is "Exquisite Ancient City" instead of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", adhere to materialism, increase the color of archaeology and science, and change things like zongzi in a way, everything can be explained scientifically, the plot design legalizes tomb robbing, and pay attention to all the income to be handed over to the state. ”

The review of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is not bad, at least there is a roughly obvious line there.

Tomb robbery is illegal, too terrifying, zongzi, mainly these.

Avoid them all, and the problem should not be big.

No way, follow the rules.

......

For the time being, I will make a drama first, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the movie version of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" that is being prepared.

After talking to the penguins, Shanying was also willing to join in, and also pulled Jiangning Satellite TV.

In the future, the film industry will release the copyright and part of the funds, Penguin will provide network publicity and part of the funds, Shanying will produce the production team and a small part of the funds, and Jiangning Satellite TV will also provide publicity resources and funds.

In general, in the future, the film will be controlled, the four parties will cooperate, and even Shangxing TV will have it.

The cost of a single episode is expected to reach 3 million, setting a record for the largest number of domestic TV dramas.

The previous phenomenal "The Legend of Zhen Huan", TV station and network copyright, several rounds together, a single episode is 4 million.

That was more than a year ago, and the price will continue to rise next year, but the cost of three million is estimated to be less than 30 levels in total, and the whole drama will not make tens of millions at most.

Another thing that has no money is that quality must be guaranteed, and Li Qian has taken the lead in making bad movies, so you can imagine other companies.

Once the cooperation was finalized, a press conference was held.

The audience is looking forward to such a TV series about tomb robbery, and at the same time shouting at Li Qian for not doing his job, urging him to make a new film quickly.

A TV series of such specifications shocked the entire industry.

A single episode is three million, which is much more expensive than costume dramas, and at the same time, it is also confusing, Li Qian's movie is so profitable, and he is full to make such a TV series.

What surprised the industry even more was that Future Pictures sold 17.7% of Grava's shares to Ahri at a premium price of 410 million.

The valuation of Grava in the last round of financing was only 1 billion, and it has only been a year, and according to the purchase price of Ahri, it is 2.3 billion.

The premium is serious, but it is absolutely not a loss, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is estimated that this price will not be available after half a year.

The last round of financing of 150 million burned, Grava's market share reached 60%, and Meituan, which won the battle of a thousand regiments, could not defeat Grava.

Tengxun's QQ movies, micro-tickets, and Ah Li's treasure digging movies don't add up.

Originally, Li Qian wanted to sell to penguins, but they planned to be their own platform, so they looked for a raccoon, anyway, in order to drain the treasure, they were not afraid of spending money at all, and they were not bad at all, what is the premium of 100 million.

Selling Grava's shares, which were lying down to make money, made the entire industry more and more unable to understand Li Qian's plan.

For a while, Huang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, and Wang Changtian all suspected that Li Qian's brain burned out from time to time.

However, immediately after Future Pictures announced that its future movie ticketing platform APP was officially launched, they understood.

"This Li Qian is too greedy!" Huang Zhongjun's face was full of disdain, the second largest shareholder after the founder was not satisfied, and he also tried to re-establish a company when Penguin and Ah Liv joined, wanting to eat alone.

In the industry, they almost all have the same idea, and they feel that Li Qian is too greedy.

However, Liu Yong of Grava was very angry at Li Qian's silent sale of his shares, even if he did not agree with Li Qian's idea of giving up services in order to seize the market, and deliberately reduced Li Qian's subsequent financing share.

......

"Mr. Liu, that's it, I still have something. ”

Li Qian didn't have time to talk nonsense with Liu Yong, so he hung up the phone.

Doing business is business, capital is not a playhouse, and the founder of the salary wave, who was in the limelight for a while, was not a businessman and was forced away by shareholders.

Li Qian didn't find a way to get rid of him, and it was okay for the dove to occupy the magpie's nest, but after that, individual management would change jobs one after another.

In terms of the ticketing platform, Li Qian is not worried, the platform sells tickets, tickets for popular movies, and he has a large number of popular movies in his hands, which is his biggest advantage.

During this time, the messy things including financing, "Detective Chinatown", new business and other messes are almost over, and Li Qian can focus all his energy on the creation of "Rejuvenation".

The whole film is special effects, and it is complicated, hurry up to finish writing the script, writing storyboards, and drawing storyboards, and then the main thing is the matter.

The script as a whole is based on the structure of the original version, plus some major events since the founding of New China, interspersed with it, for the male protagonist to experience.

The timeline is a problem, in fact, if it weren't for this aspect, Li Qian's own assumption was that the actor was born on October 1, 1949.

Born on the National Day, a story of the same age of the republic, growing up with the republic.

That would be perfect.

But in this case, you will not be able to experience the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, nor will you be able to experience the manufacture of the atomic bomb, after all, the most suitable way is to be stationed in the Gobi Desert as soldiers returning from the Beibang battlefield.

This is the plot in "Born Out of the Sky", Li Xuejian plays the general of the Beibang battlefield, and after the triumph, he led the troops into the Gobi Desert.

But when he was born in 49, the Northern Bat War broke out immediately, and the time was not right.

Therefore, it was changed to 45 years, when the Anti-Japanese War was won.

Born in his 70s, at the end of 50, Huaguo participated in the war, and after five or six years, he looked seventy years old, and it was definitely not possible to join the army.

went to sea with a fishing boat, encountered wind and waves, drifted to the shore, was rescued by a team of volunteers, insisted on joining, and the military situation was urgent, and he was temporarily assigned to the cooking class?

It seems a bit far-fetched...

Li Qian thought about it, but he still brainstormed and found more people to discuss the setting.
