Chapter 264: Seahorses and Seahorses
Wang Shuo's daughter-in-law carried the child into the back room, and the idlers and others also withdrew, leaving only six or seven writers plus Zheng Xiaolong and Xu Fei.
He spoke in a hurry, Lao Ma exchanged glances with a few people, and continued to ask: "Then do you think there is a way out for movies now?"
"By case. In terms of the general environment, domestic unified sales and purchasing, actors can earn some, screenwriters can earn some, and directors can earn some, but film studios can't make money. The producer of a film can't make money, it has to be filmed, because there are indicators.
Such a system, which may have worked in the past, is now outdated. So from a commercial point of view, there is no future at all for making movies.
But from an artistic point of view, the rise of the fifth generation and the popularity of art films are just a good time. Several of them are everyone in the literary world, and Teacher Mo Yan is in front of him, so he can try it. ”
He didn't say it directly, but everyone understands that the movie is famous and international.
"Then what do you think of the TV drama environment?" asked Liu Zhenyun.
"Thriving, definitely better than the movie. ”
"This is interesting, TV series don't sell tickets, how can it be better than movies?" Wei Ren asked.
"The form of communication is not the same......"
This involves the scope of the media, and he tries to make it as easy to understand as possible, "Although TV dramas do not sell tickets, the number of TV sets is increasing exponentially, and it is said that there are tens of millions of units now, and it may exceed 100 million in the future." And the coverage area is large, with one million city Taiwan, 10 million provincial Taiwan, and 1.1 billion CCTV.
At the same time, the domestic economy is growing, the number of enterprises is increasing, and the competitive environment is fierce. If you want to get ahead, you have to be well-known.
Therefore, there is a bridge between TV stations and enterprises, which is advertising, which is determined by the nature and needs of both. 24 hours a day, the effect of the ad is different at different times.
When companies realize that a big hit drama can have an unimaginable impact, they will hold the money to let you film. Because during this time period, the advertising effect is definitely the strongest. ”
“......”
His words made everyone ponder, and Zheng Xiaolong said: "But there is a prerequisite, your work must be excellent, so that the company has confidence." ”
"That's right, the alley is just the beginning ......"
Xu Fei made a comparison, Zheng Xiaolong understood, that means: "Sixteen Years of Longing" has this potential, and the theme has the widest audience.
After a while, Ma Weidu asked Wang Shuo, "How is it?"
"Yes, this kid is the best I've ever seen. ”
He asked Mo Yan again, "How is it?"
"I think it's good. ”
Lao Ma asked one by one, reached an agreement, and then said: "Didn't you say I asked you for help just now?" That's the case, a few of us are going to set up a creation center to specialize in film and television. There are currently 12 of them, all of them in the literary world.
We belong to the cross-industry, except for Shuo Ye, who has a little experience, no one else understands. You and Xiaolong have a unit, and it's not easy to join, so please be a consultant and give guidance. ”
That's a shame.
There are all bigwigs here, and he is a descendant in his twenties, and he says to guide and guide.
“......”
Xu Fei looked at Zheng Xiaolong first, and then reacted, since the other party was present, it was equivalent to acquiescence. He thought for a while and said, "A few teachers talk about this creation center, can I get to know it first?"
So the old horse began to explain.
This idea was conceived by Kan Dashan, and Wang Shuo and Ma Wei both took the lead, wanting to create a creative group with the nature of a literary salon. The name is all set, it's called Haima Film and Television Creation Center.
There are also Liu Yiran, Wu Bin, Su Lei, Ge Xiaogang, etc., a total of 12 people. Wang Shuo is the legal person and chairman, and Ma Weidu is the secretary general.
Xu Fei listened to the pain and asked, "Are you a company or an industry association?"
"Civil society. It is inconvenient and constrained to engage in companies and industries. ”
"Do you invest in it yourself?"
"Let's see, it's just a little bit dark, that's why I invited you two here. ”
Get!
Xu Fei listened to two words: play ticket.
It is a sense of accomplishment to turn a story into a lead letter, and to turn a lead word into a video is another sense of accomplishment. These people are just fresh and fun, so they made such an organization.
"I'll tell you the truth, but when a group of people get together to tinker with something, in addition to being like-minded, they definitely want to make some money.
Now there is a shortage of scripts, movies and TV series, and the teachers are everyone, so there must be an advantage in writing.
The movie doesn't say much, the system is there. In terms of TV series, it is better for us to set a precedent. Market-oriented production, according to quality and demand to sell out scripts. ”
"Let's be specific. Su Tong said.
"For example, if we think that the audience will definitely like this theme, then take the initiative to contact the TV station. The negotiation is settled, we produce the script, and they give the money.
In other words, if the TV station wants to make a drama, but there is a lack of good scripts, we can also take this job.
How much is per episode, according to the quality of the price. It is even possible to add up the companies and start the negotiation directly from the sponsorship link, so that all parties can benefit. ”
In fact, now TV stations are filming, and they also follow this path. The key is quality and demand, so many writers in one piece, inherently influential, and initiative is also key.
At the beginning of the establishment of Seahorse, it was very loose and purely playful. After the broadcast of "Desire", everyone saw that the TV series was capped, and the hot money of the enterprise also came, which burst out of enthusiasm.
From 12 people, it has grown to more than 40 people at its peak.
However, it was later disbanded, mainly because the return of income was too slow, such as 300 yuan per episode, which was not given until it was broadcast, and it had to wait for a year or two.
There are also writers with great personalities, and it is good to write alone, but it is easy to have contradictions and difficult to reconcile when they cooperate.
Xu Fei thinks it's a pity, if the seahorse is really developed, the status of domestic screenwriters will not be so low.
No one knew what he was thinking, but he listened to it. Earn money, who hates a lot of money?
"Well, that's it. ”
Ma Weidu slapped his thigh, "14 people, two nominal consultants, will open in a few days to pick up customers." ”
"Vulgar, that's called inverted welcome. ”
"Shaojie Bao is poor, I'm hungry, Ma Ye has a treat, rub it again?" Wang Shuo said.
"Cheng, walking, walking. ”
As soon as the old horse looked at his watch, he unconsciously knew that it was evening, beckoned everyone to get up, and found another restaurant.
The place is generous and the prices are amazing.
Good wine and good food, eating and drinking, and another meal. Writers and writers are not the same, some can speak like Wang Shuo, and some are subtle like Liu Heng, so they just listened with their heads bored.
Xu Fei kept looking at his watch, and suddenly beckoned: "Boss, can the TV be turned on?"
"Yes, you want to see it...... Ouch!"
The boss hurriedly transferred to Jingtai, "I almost forgot, I'll broadcast the alley today." ”
"Hutong?oh, the second part of "Hutong People?" Liu Zhenyun said.
"This drama is good, and the days are good. Liu Heng said something rarely.
"Is it a double happiness?" asked Su Tong.
"Count, absolutely!"
A group of people had been drinking for a long time, and just wanted to rest, so they turned to the TV.
(And ...... )
