Chapter 1948: Explanation
Although these people still want to continue chatting for a while, of course, they want to see Li Menglong's embarrassment, but at this time, Li Menglong's speech is generally effective, after all, he still holds the power of life and death to work overtime, and if he doesn't announce it at this moment, everyone will not dare to offend him in death.
So the originally noisy space suddenly quieted down, ordinary people may not be used to it, but for SW these people are all daily, indulge when playing, and as a price, it is natural to devote yourself to work, quite a good habit!
But there are always two who like to desert, why the girls are not willing to come with Li Menglong, it is because they can't sit still on the second floor, and when everyone is working, only they are twisting in the seats, which is very discordant.
Xu Xian is relatively not too good at adapting, and it can even be said that there is no so-called adaptation period at all, of course, this kind of monster newcomer in the workplace will not always appear, Xu Xian can adapt so well here, of course, it is inseparable from her own efforts, but external factors are equally important!
Not every newcomer will have the boss of the company come to work every day, and not every newcomer has a pleasing face and a star halo, and of course, not every newcomer has the affinity that Xu Xian has honed for many years.
It can be said that Seo Hyun has debuted for so many years, in addition to music-related studies, what he has learned the most is how to get in touch with people, or to be precise, how to leave a good enough impression on strangers in the shortest possible time.
If you think about it, this is also a necessary skill for idols, but it's a pity that there is not much of this kind of thing that can be taught in the outside world, the key is to rely on personal comprehension, and there is no doubt that Xu Xian is a talented kind of child, in short, it is very likable.
In this case, the boss in an office and the people below like a newcomer, so it would be strange if this newcomer is not adaptable, but Xu Xian today is a little restless, although she wants to settle her heart, but she is not the kind of child who can hide her thoughts, especially in the face of Li Menglong.
"I definitely don't feel sorry for that ballpoint pen, but thrift and not wasting are also promoted virtues, so can you stop scribbling?" Li Menglong said to Xu Xian with a smile, he was afraid that he would laugh when he saw the excitement again.
Xu Xian didn't know that her every move was noticed by Li Menglong, but she also blushed a little after seeing the messy handwriting on the notebook, but she didn't want to admit it: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, I'm painting!"
"I don't read much, don't lie to me, this is painting?" Li Menglong stood up and leaned over to take a closer look, this doesn't look like a painting, could it be that the painting is a top view of a ball of wool?
"You don't know art, abstract painting!" Xu Xian closed the notebook as he spoke, this was what made him more comfortable, but he didn't dare to look at Li Menglong's eyes, she knew that the other party must be laughing at her now.
But it's also a busy time to learn from the girls for so many years.,Ostrich psychology is still learned.,So keep paralyzing yourself.,As long as she doesn't care.,This thing can be treated as if it didn't happen.,Is it okay to change the topic?
So it was quite natural for Xu Xian to ask the question that had puzzled him all along: "OPPA, let's talk about advertising again, I'm a little curious!"
Li Menglong really admired the little girl a little this time, this was because he was afraid that Li Menglong would not be injured enough, didn't he? Do you have to step on him Li Menglong's self-esteem? Fortunately, after thinking about it carefully, it seems that his self-esteem is worthless in front of Xu Xian, since this is the case, let's talk about it, of course, it is more likely that he knows that Xu Xian does not mean this.
"It's okay to talk about it, but why are you curious about this?" Li Menglong looked the little girl up and down, no matter how she looked at it, this girl didn't look like a greedy person: "Anyway, the company will have special people to deal with this aspect, basically we don't have to talk about it ourselves, so do you have any questions?"
"Don't you have to go by yourself?" Xu Xian was relieved after repeating a sentence, she was still a little nervous when she thought of those occasions, but for the responsibility on her shoulders, she could still go out, of course, it didn't have to be the best: "What about the money, will there be a lot?"
Xu Xiandu asked so bluntly, Li Menglong naturally wouldn't simply think that this little girl was greedy for money, and after thinking about it carefully, it was easy to find out what the problem was, and the advertising fee was nothing more than an inducement, which made this little girl start to face up to the most important criterion for a successful TV series for the first time - profit!
That's right, there are many criteria for evaluating a TV series, and different people will have completely different evaluations according to their corresponding identities, but as directors and production companies, Xu Xian and her sisters should use more utilitarian and fair standards to evaluate, although it is a little ugly, but this is the real society.
Xu Xian hasn't realized this and doesn't blame her, it's entirely because Li Menglong and SW have created a particularly good environment for her, basically this drama has been out of the category of losing money, or even if it loses money, at least it can make a shout, unlike some dramas that can't even see a sound, that's a miserable!
It stands to reason that this is part of the compromise that directors must compromise, even the most idealistic directors must consider the issue of profit, otherwise no one will invest at all, but Xu Xian has not been exposed to this aspect until now!
"I'm worried about the money, right? I'm afraid that you have to master too many things for the first time, so I haven't told you, if you are curious enough to talk about, where do we Director Xu Xian want to start listening?" Li Menglong said gently, he couldn't be worthy of the title of Xu Xian's life mentor.
Xu Xian was also temporary, so he was a little embarrassed for a while, but in the end, he asked quite directly: "Will my TV series lose money?
If the girls hear this, they may be able to educate Xu Xian, they have spent so many years cultivating and protecting Xu Xian, isn't it just to let her live a "fairy tale", don't be affected by the utilitarian factor of money, but now that they are talking about money, it will make them feel that their education is a failure!
However, in Li Menglong's view, it is a manifestation of Xu Xian's growth, talking about money does not necessarily mean tacky, but also represents responsibility, which means that Xu Xian realizes how many people's hopes he is carrying, it can be said that as a director, she carries the entire crew on her back, and once she can't make a profit, she is definitely not the only one who is disappointed.
"You can't lose it, but how much you make depends on the effect of your final film!" Li Menglong explained to Xu Xian here, in fact, the source of income for a TV series is relatively simple, and the biggest one is naturally the broadcast copyright purchased by the TV station.
However, because this drama is a relationship with MBC's in-depth cooperation, this part of the money is only symbolically given, and the corresponding advertising share before and after has increased a lot, which is equivalent to MBC evenly sharing the investment and risks of this drama, which is also the reason why Li Menglong dares to come to this conclusion.
As for the product placement advertisements and possible overseas copyrights that are being talked about now, they can even be regarded as additional gains, and they can even be said to be a large part of the net profits, so if these big advertisements can be discussed, then Xu Xian's drama can be sure that it has made a profit even if it has not started filming yet, and it is not a particularly small one.
I have to say that the society is still not so fair, but Li Menglong does not have such a loving heart to help outsiders, one Xu Xian made him spend a lot of effort, but after seeing Xu Xian's satisfied smile, he felt that everything was still worth it, how could he not see enough of Xu Xian's smile for so many years?
Although he is very confident in his charm, it is still a little shy to be stared at by Li Menglong so directly occasionally, Xu Xian first waved his hand in front of him, and after seeing no effect, he stepped heavily on him under the table to make him sober up: "OPPA can work, and your movie is going to be a big hit!"
If Xu Xian's smile was still an angel just now, there was a tendency to evolve to a little devil in this second, Li Menglong just analyzed her from the bottom of his heart, this has no merit and hard work, but in a blink of an eye, the little girl came over to mock herself, which is a bit excessive!
"Hey Yigu, how could I mock oppa? I'm sincere!" Xu Xian showed a straight face that I was very serious at the moment, but the words needed to be considered: "As a well-known director, there must be a lot of brands that come to you to sponsor, and you don't have to wait for the release to pay back, right?" Then the box office of tens of millions of moviegoers is your pure profit!"
Xu Xian recalled that Li Menglong's words were forcibly flickering here, but it was as if the tea seller had met a pyramid scheme master, and it was all Li Menglong's words, how could he believe it, but I have to say that what Xu Xian said is still possible, but it is not Li Menglong.
The kind of projects that have recovered their investment costs before the movie is released are all opportunities that can be encountered but not sought, not to mention small-budget films, they are all the result of luck, and other projects like this kind of early recovery of costs are super-large commercial film projects.
Among them, the stars are bright, the scene is grand, and it must be the kind with a huge cost in the past, of course, it will be said when it is promoted, but there are a lot of insiders, the most basic is like the salary of stars, and the propaganda says that it is tens of millions, so is it really tens of millions? That's real money, can it be earned?
Therefore, the remuneration component of the actors in a movie like this kind of big cast is very complicated, there must be a part of the cash, but it is normal to pay in installments and deferred payments, and it is normal to drag on for two or three years, and the other part will have some box office incentive rules, such as how much will be given when the box office arrives.
This kind of thing is still within the rules, and some of the more part-of-the-road ones are weird, for example, how much money is required for the actor to buy at the box office, which is generally in the millions, and for example, the brand manufacturer behind the star is required to bear a part, after all, the brand endorsement effect is better after the actor is popular.
As a result, the actors' salaries are reduced to a very low standard by various means, and then the appeal of these stars is used to attract various investments and sponsorships, which can basically cover the pre-shooting costs, which is quite a bit of an empty glove white wolf.
It's just that there are still hidden dangers in this way, because even if you still owe a lot of money, once you lose it, won't you lose all your money? It's naïve to think like this, although the box office is the most important source of income for the movie, but it is only one of the sources.
Have you ever thought about the entertainment company behind a big movie? How much will a commercial movie with such a super-large cast increase the company's stock price? The cashing out of the stock market alone is quite considerable, and in addition, the film market itself is the most suitable for money laundering.
However, all aspects involved in these are quite complicated, at least Li Menglong only dares to say that he has a rough understanding, he will never be able to operate it himself, this is also the role of Li Enxi's existence, don't look at her day by day She seems to be late and leave early, but such a high salary is really not given in vain, otherwise even if Li Menglong can see the past, the people below will have gossip.
In short, film can be regarded as an art, but the film industry is a complete capital game, there is no trace of beauty in it, and there are some profiteers waving money in it, how many of them are for the so-called art?
Inexplicably, I feel that Li Menglong is a little melancholy, Xu Xian doesn't think it's because of himself, I guess he thought of something unhappy again, since that's the case, I cheered him up, patted him on the shoulder in the past, and then said angrily: "Li Menglong, you have to come on!"
This rather formal title stunned Li Menglong for a moment, but then reacted and pushed the little girl's shoulder with his fingers: "Li Menglong is also called oppa!"
"Cut, you know how to bully me! Ernie and they just call you by your name, why don't you say them?"
"Don't say that they don't care about them!" Li Menglong explained very casually here: "Besides, those people are all irreparable, and in the future, I will not compare with them, and I will lower my lower limit in vain!"
"Why is it irretrievable?
When Li Menglong was educating Xu Xian, because his vision was blocked, he didn't find that there was a person standing behind Xu Xian, so when he heard Xu Xian's rebuttal, Li Menglong was still very surprised, but although his voice was also crisp, it didn't seem quite right: "What did you just say? Say it again?"
"I said what's wrong with us, we don't welcome you like this, if there is anything we want to say, we will seriously reflect on ourselves!" Kim Taeyeon pushed away Seo Hyun in front of him, and the whole person stood up with anger on his face, he heard Li Menglong say bad things about them just after he came in, can he bear it?
"Shhhh When did you come here? Just to listen to this?"
