"The investment of "Wulin Gaiden" is 15 million, the cost of "Soldier Assault" is 15 million, the budget of "Palace Scheming" is 20 million, and the three TV series have a combined expenditure of 50 million yuan!" Zhuang Liqi said.

Among the three TV series, "Palace Scheming" was written by Chen Hao and Xing Aina with the company's screenwriting team specifically for Yaya, after all, it is still a costume drama that can best show Yaya's beauty.

And unlike "Golden Branches", the total investment is only 8 million, and the investment in "Palace Scheming" this time has reached 20 million, which can at least raise a level in terms of serving the Tao, and it will not look like a shabby TVB court drama!

As for "Wulin Gaiden" and "Soldier Assault", they are all investments that others take the initiative to pull into.

With the blossoming of Haotian Film and Television in movies and TV series, they have achieved good performance, and they were shortlisted for the 2004 "Huaxia 500 Most Valuable Brands" together with Huayi.

These have made Haotian Film and Television a well-known golden signboard in the field of film and television drama production, and Haotian Film and Television is even more humble and recruits talents, so there are not a few people who come to Haotian Film and Television to cast scripts and attract investment!

"Soldier Assault" is the project selected by Zhuang Liqi, and "Wulin Gaiden" is the project requested by Chen Hao.

The total investment of "Soldier Assault" is actually 23 million yuan, Haotian Film and Television invested 15 million, and the remaining 8 million is the money from Bayi Film Studio.

The book of "Soldier Assault" has actually been written for 3 years, and screenwriter Lan Xiaolong created the drama "Erna Assault" in 2002.

Later, he combined "Soldier" to create the script of the TV series "Soldier Assault", but unfortunately no one has been willing to invest.

Later, Kang Honglei saw the drama "Erna Assault" during the performance, and had the idea of adapting it, but it turned out that Lan Xiaolong had already written the script of the TV series "Soldier Assault".

Subsequently, Kang Honglei pulled an investment of 8 million from Bayi Studio, but it was not enough, so he was ready to invest in Huayi and Haotianla.

It happened that Haotian was filming the military anti-Japanese war drama "Bright Sword" at the time, which made Kang Honglei feel that Haotian should be interested in this military-themed script, so he first came to Haotian.

Then Zhuang Liqi, who likes the theme of military war, took a fancy to him and immediately agreed to invest.

If Kang Honglei had gone to Huayi first, it is estimated that "Soldier Assault" would not have been Haotian's turn!

As for "Wulin Gaiden", he directly found Haotian, but Zhuang Liqi, like many other companies, did not pay attention to it, and it was the pearl that Chen Hao found when he checked and filled in the gaps.

How popular "Wulin Gaiden" is, Chen Hao is clear, when the finale was broadcast in his previous life, he almost stole the limelight of the Spring Festival Gala, because it happened to be the finale in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and many viewers were waiting to watch.

In addition to the hot ratings, the development of the copyright peripheral of "Wulin Gaiden" can be called a major milestone in the mainland, with comics, animations, movies, games, toys, pendants and so on.

"Wulin Gaiden" was adapted into a game, and it was also the first TV series in the history of the mainland to be adapted into a game, and created a record of 500,000 people online at the same time, which recovered the cost that year, and earned 100 million in the following 2 years.

The game has also entered the best-selling list when it is transmitted abroad, and the anime has been sold to the island country as a full-fledged agent, with a movie cost of tens of millions and a box office of over 100 million!

In short, the peripheral development of "Wulin Gaiden" can be said to be profitable, and it also makes the industry peers breathtaking!

"The screenwriter of "Soldier Assault" is Lan Xiaolong, and the director is Kang Honglei, right?" asked Chen Hao.

"That's right. Zhuang Liqi nodded.

"Is it possible to sign in to the company?" asked Chen Hao.

Good screenwriters and directors are scarce resources, and if you want to get high-quality resources, these talents are essential.

"They all have their own units for the time being, but they should be able to give it a try in the future. Zhuang Liqi said.

Lan Xiaolong can write "Soldier Assault", and Kang Honglei has directed "The Years of Burning Passion", which is indeed worth wooing.

However, at present, both of them have their own units, just like Uncle Ge, it is not easy to sign directly for the time being.

"How's the acquisition of Kim Young-ma?" Chen Hao asked.

Zhuang Liqi shook his head when he heard this, "It's still talking." ”

Chen Hao said, "After the year, the company will have professionals in this area to join, and we will continue to follow up with you when the time comes!"

Zhuang Liqi nodded when he heard this.

"Mr. Xing!" Chen Hao signaled.

The previous ones were all Haotian Film and Television business, and the next is Haotian Holdings' other subsidiaries.

"Haotian Copyright spent a total of 3.4 million last year to buy film and television adaptation copyrights for "Ball Lightning", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", games, and comics.

In terms of revenue, it was zero last year. Xing Aina said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, it's normal if he doesn't make money, what is currently sold is "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Bright Sword", one is still on the air, the other has not yet been broadcast, even if there is copyright authorization, there is no business contact.

Anyway, it is a large number of hoarding IPs now, leaving it to show off after the explosion of the entertainment industry in the future.

As for Xing Aina, she will no longer be responsible for this aspect in the future, so she can lead the screenwriting team with peace of mind and be a producer!

"Let me talk about the development of Qidian Chinese Network last year!

First, in June 2004, Qidian Chinese Network ranked 100th in the world ALEXA, becoming the first domestic original literature portal to be among the world's top 100.

Second, on December 18, 2004, the "2004 Original Literature Tour" was held in the magic capital, creating a grand occasion of the annual meeting of domestic online literature!

Third, the remuneration income of dozens of works is between 20-40 yuan per thousand words, and the cumulative remuneration of Qidian has been nearly 100,000 yuan, and the VIP author remuneration champion in March alone has received a monthly income of more than 4,000 yuan.

The highest number of subscriptions for the work exceeded 6,000, and for the first time, an author paid more than 10,000 yuan in a single month!

Fourth, whether it is in terms of traffic or the number of VIP members, Qidian has far widened the gap with other websites, and due to the Matthew effect, it is getting farther and farther away. Wu Wenshen said.

Qidian has indeed ushered in great progress in the last year, both high-quality authors and VIP members are far ahead, but it is not without adversity.

In May 2004, Qidian's new book list was occupied by a large group of online games, and finally Qidian found out that most of these new online game books were signed by Skyhawk and Crawling, and then under their guidance, Qidian hit the list!

The most direct consequence is that Qidian only pulled less than 10 VIP works in three months.

In order to compete with Skyhawk for the new VIP, Qidian had to repeatedly lower the audit standards of VIPs, resulting in the overall quality of VIPs declining, and even the quality of strong promotions has deteriorated.

In order to win over these authors, Qidian also opened an online game column after climbing in the Sky Eagle, and increased the proportion of online game works in the strong promotion.

On the other hand, the two sides began to go all out to remove the book reviews on each other's websites, and the war between the two sides continued to escalate and spread to other websites.

Later, almost all websites completely deleted the book reviews, and the relationship between the websites dropped to a freezing point.

In the end, Qidian found that it couldn't go on like this, because Skyhawk could pull VIP when the new work was less than 10,000 words, which Qidian couldn't do anyway.

As a last resort, Qidian had no choice but to adopt a lose-lose approach, and after launching the new book recommendation list in the Sanjiang Pavilion review method, the original new book list was canceled to protect its own book source.

And the VIP of the Sky Eagle has achieved tremendous development, quickly surpassing the Phantom Sword Book Alliance and approaching the starting point.

At this time, the legend of one person, one book to save a website was staged.

The blood-red "Shenglong Road" was born, "as soon as the dragon comes out, who will compete for the peak". Since the day Thang Long was put on the shelves, it has been constantly refreshing the records of the starting point VIP.

The maximum subscription rose from 3,000 to more than 5,000 in one month, and the author's monthly remuneration exceeded 10,000 for the first time.

Qidian also took advantage of this to get through this difficulty, and with the gradual improvement of various systems, the excavation of new VIP works has also begun to get back on track.

Just when everyone thought that the online literature landscape was almost stable, a movement descended on the literary website, making the online literature landscape make waves again!
