Chapter 138: Make a fuss about investment!
Before their ambitions could unfold, a slap from reality slammed down on their heads!
"Above Ling Tian" has been decided that Kang Daisa will play the role of the second female lead! The director will be Chen Yilai!
And "Above Ling Tian" is the main person in charge of their company's business negotiations, that is, Wang Dengliang, who personally gave up the project, because he couldn't stand the high price of 14 million and the full copyright price of more than 60 million.
Then, they turned around and went to contact Lianzong, and purchased the head book IP of Lianzong, that is, "The Legend of the Embroidered Spring Knife", which has just arrived at the boutique line.
Facts have proved that compared with "Above Ling Tian", "The Legend of the Embroidered Spring Knife" is indeed cheap to death, and the full copyright only needs 5.4 million.
However, the author Ah Yuan knows and can get his hands on 1.2 million.
In other words, this price is infinitely less than the price paid for the purchase of the copyright of "Above the Sky".
But the people led by Wang Dengliang and a large number of Jiale film and television executives are very glad for their choice.
Because in their hearts, the IP they spent money on is nothing more than just buying an initial script for their own company with its own traffic.
What should happen next, the most important thing is not to see how their screenwriters should change? Otherwise, are the things of those online authors qualified to be directly put on the screen?
No, they don't deserve it.
And, the most important thing is that it still depends on the operation of the crew, the director, and the actors?
These are the ideas and thinking logic of the people here at Jiale Film and Television.
They did exactly that, and before the copyright was bought, they had already contacted the most professional screenwriter in the company, and then directly took the whole book and prepared for the screenwriter to make a big change.
However, not long after their screenwriter received the script, he sent the news directly and sent it back.
Because according to him, he has almost understood the general framework of the story and the basic plot direction, and next, he will directly start the large-scale adaptation of the entire script.
According to the results of the unanimous discussion between the screenwriters, directors, and leadership of Jiale Film and Television, although "The Legend of the Embroidered Spring Knife" undoubtedly belongs to the fantasy category.
But to change, they didn't plan to shoot it directly according to the old genre fantasy.
First of all, funding is one thing, although Jiale Film and Television itself claims to have invested more than 800 million yuan in this drama, it does have to invest more than 800 million yuan.
But if you want to shoot fantasy, you need a lot of special effects, and special effects have always been a very expensive thing in the Chinese film and television market, very expensive, ridiculously expensive.
Therefore, according to the idea of Jiale Film and Television, the legend of the embroidered spring knife should be directly changed into a martial arts film!
After all, the script was originally going to be a big move, and since there was too much dross in the original book, why not change it a little more? After changing it to martial arts, there is no need for so many special effects, compared with fantasy special effects, martial arts will save a lot of money.
Moreover, the audience in the film and television industry, there is another common characteristic that if it is a simple commercial film or a film such as fantasy or Xianxia, their requirements for special effects will be extremely high.
But once it is changed to a film other than martial arts or fantasy Xianxia, their needs and requirements for special effects will directly drop by many levels!
Therefore, Jiale Film and Television's confidence in "The Legend of the Embroidered Spring Knife" is very large, and they are full of confidence, and they have never worried about who will win in the battle with "Ling Tian".
Because in their eyes, the facts are already very clear, and now in the era of traffic, the original fans of "Ling Tian" are many times more than "The Legend of the Embroidered Spring Knife", so what?
If it is to be adapted into a film and television work, then in the final analysis, it is not a matter of the film and television industry? Now is the era of traffic, what can a small author decide?
However, at this moment, after Jiale Film and Television confidently launched all the projects and matters related to "The Legend of the Embroidered Spring Knife", it was originally planning to directly start with "Ling Tian".
Suddenly, it was rumored that Kang Daisa would sign a contract with the crew of "Above Ling Tian" and partner with Chen Yi.
This directly made Jiale Film and Television confused, and at the same time panicked, so they directly set up a working group meeting as quickly as possible.
At this time, in the conference room of Jiale Film and Television, as a single-handedly abandonment of "Above Ling Tian", a quarrel with the origin, and the transfer of the existence of "The Legend of the Embroidered Spring Knife" on the vertical network, Wang Dengliang couldn't help but pat the conference table violently in anger, and his tone was a little angry and gritted his teeth: "Bastard thing, when is this news?"
"Mr. Wang, it's the news just now...."
The assistant director of the crew at the bottom smiled bitterly: "Kang Daisha, this pressure is really a bit big." ”
Since the debut of the righteous girl, she has risen all the way, the queen of the Golden Horse Award, the queen of the Hundred Flowers Award and the Golden Phoenix Award.
With the blessing of these many honors, they are no longer at the same level as them.
If you look at it according to a very famous stalk in Chen Yin's book that has become popular, that is, the emperor-level powerhouses are terrifying, and they are the little shrimps in the first stage, who can be destroyed by raising their hands and dare not speak loudly at all.
Moreover, why did such a movie star come to act in a TV series? ?
They really can't figure it out, and their hearts are confused.
But now, if the news can reach them, it means that it is absolutely true.
Wang Dengliang was the most angry here: "I remember that your public relations department didn't try to contact these actors? Kang Daisha, you must have also contacted them, right?"
"Yes, there was contact. A small clerk replied with sweat on his head: "But I didn't promise us at all, and the salary is too high, it costs 270 million to shoot a TV series, and the company doesn't dare to let us agree to this proportion of salary." ”
"270 million. Wang Dengliang breathed for a moment: "Isn't this Yuejin Film and Television said to be about to go bankrupt? Can this still come up with so much money to invite Kang Daisha? And isn't their investment just more than 300 million? Where did the money come from?"
Don't.....
At this time, Wang Dengliang thought of a possibility.
"Could it be that they jumped over the wall in a hurry, and when they saw that they couldn't suppress us, they thought of such extreme ideas and took most of the investment to Cornesa?"
Although it is unlikely, it is only this statement that can be explained.
"Mr. Wang, what should we do?" asked a crew member with a wry smile.
Kang Daisha, it's helpless to think about it, this coffee is too big.
Wang Dengliang took a deep breath and thought of the incident just now: "Contact the person in charge of promotion and public opinion, let's try to make a fuss from the other party's investment." ”
