Chapter 370: Friends
The costume idol drama market entered the era of "100 million" yuan, which was after the explosion of "Flower Thousand Bone" and "Langya Bang" in 2015.
Although it claims to have invested 300 million or 500 million, 70% of it was spent on actors' salaries.
In 2013 and 2014, the TV drama market did not change much.
"The Legend of the Ancient Sword" claims to have invested more than 100 million yuan, but industry insiders know that it is nonsense, and the production cost is about 30 million according to the costumes, scenes, and special effects.
Half of them are actors' salaries, and the ones spent on special effects are about four or five million.
Therefore, when hot money has not yet poured into the ancient puppet drama market, finding investment is still a troublesome thing for film and television companies.
It's not that they lack tens of millions, it's that they don't want to take that risk.
It seems that the vast majority of actors are willing to take a salary, rather than using the salary to offset the investment.
What if you lose it?
They will think so.
Therefore, people like Zhou Jin who like to use their net worth to invest in projects are generally called gamblers, or live two hundred and five.
The bald brother wanted to scold him for being two hundred and five now, but he couldn't help it, who made the family the boss.
"I will contact Huanrui Century as soon as possible and try to keep the investment as low as possible...... Sisi is no worse than Yang Mi, so he doesn't need to press it all up. ”
According to Zhou Jin's idea, throw in 10 million, and don't interfere in the production, the only requirement is to stuff Liu Sisi into it.
- Sensei said that Liu Sisi, it's no problem to plug the slats and blue roots in.
It's also too extravagant.
Zhou Jin didn't bother to explain, and patted him on the shoulder, "I can only tell you, even if you invest 10 million in it, you will definitely not lose, and you will understand when the time comes." ”
The bald brother had a bitter face, "It's not a question of whether we will lose money, the main thing is that we can't get our funds back, you forgot that you have to snipe Ahri Pictures next year......"
"Don't worry, I have my own measure on this," Zhou Jin chuckled, and then left in style.
By the way, he glanced at the corner of his eye and found that the bald brother looked at him differently.
Sure enough, as the boss, you still have to maintain a sense of mystery and can't let others guess it.
With this sense of mystery, Zhou Jin went to a small bar.
The circle of domestic independent films is actually very small and very united, which actors are cheap and easy to use, and which film bosses are easier to talk to, and there will be exchanges between them.
Xin Yukun relied on a script to flicker around in the embroidered spring knife bar to invest 3 million, and it spread to the circle, which has evolved into a good story.
So there are many desperate little directors who have nothing to do and carry the script to embroider spring knives to try their luck.
However, he thought that the consumption of embroidered spring knives was high, so he had to wander around the door, hoping that he had an outstanding temperament and could be seen by the gold owner.
For this kind of person, Zhou Jin is quite contemptuous, not only does not create turnover for him, but also affects his business, which is shameless.
But he didn't expect that there would be even more shameless.
"I'll tell you, if you want to mix in the film and television industry, it's not enough to be beautiful, you have to have eyes, as soon as I see the two of you, I feel very cordial, very fateful, come, drink one with my brother." ”
In the private room on the second floor, a big bald head was courteous to the two girls.
The girl was both surprised and nervous when she saw this kind of big star for the first time, "It's the first time we've met, it's not good." ”
"Hey, what's this," Xu Zheng stood up, turned around and sat down again, "Look, isn't this the second time we have met." ”
The two girls sneered, but they couldn't shirk it, so they had to raise their glasses and touch him.
The girl on the left estimated that the amount of alcohol was better, so she went straight to the end.
"Beautiful, sister is really, I have nothing to say, drink another ......" Xu Zheng continued to complain.
Zhou Jin stood at the door and looked at him, with a black line on his head, is this a flirtatious girl on my territory?
"Lao Xu, why are you drinking again," Zhou Jin hurriedly ran in, "Sister-in-law told me, you just finished kidney dialysis, can't you drink......"
"Who, who's on kidney dialysis, I'm very good," Xu Zheng stopped Zhou Jin and said to the two sisters: "Hey, I'll introduce you, this is my friend, the big boss behind the bar, today's drink, let him give you free orders!"
Talking about being more heroic.
The two girls quickly stood up and said, "What's so embarrassing, in fact, we are students of Nortel, and we also study acting." ”
The long-haired black clothes on the left looked beautiful and handsome, and said: "Brother Jin, my name is Zhang Pengpeng (peng, second voice)." ”
The one on the right said, "My name is Girl B." ”
"Okay, you guys keep playing, we still have something to do, let's go first. ”
"Okay, then I won't bother you," it was obvious that Xu Zheng ran into the private room of the two of them, but they were honestly afraid.
"Hey, my wine glass, and my wine," Lao Xu was still struggling, and Zhou Jin directly dragged him outside.
"Don't want that little wine, I'll send you a brick when I get back. ”
"What are you doing with hair bricks?"
"So that you can see the beautiful girl, and you can directly stun and drag it away, so as to save the wine. ”
"What's the point of being stunned, lying there motionless, I still have to serve her, tell you, what I want is to be slightly drunk, half push and half ......"
This guy imparted experience, and Zhou Jin had a dark face and silently remembered it in his heart.
The two of them walked to the end of the corridor and entered the last box, where Huang Bo and Ning Hao were already sitting.
"I said, he's so prodigal now, you don't care?" Zhou Jin sued first.
Ning Hao said: "It's in charge, this guy always eats alone, this can't be done." ”
Xu Zheng said: "I'm not eating alone, your image is not good, it's easy to scare the little girl away." ”
Huang Bo swallowed melon seeds, "What about me? You won't take me with you." ”
Xu Zheng said: "You are the same, young, handsome, and golden, what kind of do you have?"
Zhou Jin said: "That master is considered to have taken it all, and he just spent more than 10 million yuan." ”
"Heh, are you picking up girls like this?"
"Nonsense, you don't pay your sister-in-law?"
"Don't mention her to me," Xu Zheng waved his hand, "It's good that the two of us are playing each other now." ”
At this point, it basically stopped.
The four of them are close, because they get along well at work, but they basically don't ask about family and private matters.
Since "Thai Embarrassment", this is the first time they have gathered, Ning Hao's point of the game, after the cold scene, the three of them all looked at him.
Ning Hao coughed, "Okay, then let's get down to business first." ”
"The income of "Thai Embarrassment" came out, and we will be able to return the money immediately, calculate the accounts, just the four of us, we have earned more than 100 million, this is not a small amount, we have to use it. ”
Xu Zheng said: "If you have an idea, just say it, don't ink." ”
Ning Hao continued: "Actually, we are not familiar with capital, I only learned the word leverage some time ago, 100 million income, can leverage 300 million funds, Zhou Jin made a movie "I Can Say" before, enough to make ten films." ”
"So we have to cooperate, we can't go it alone, and the production cost will only get higher and higher in the future, so I have an idea to make the good monkey platform. ”
Zhou Jin took the lead and said: "I support, it is best to achieve the integration of network marketing and publicity." ”
Huang Bo kicked him at the bottom and asked Ning Hao: "What are you going to do about this?"
"It's also simple, script selection, director training, preparation for shooting, post-production, publicity and distribution, I plan to get a one-stop out. ”
"I used to just pick scripts, so why don't I organize them to write scripts? Tell them my experience how to write a good script. ”
"There are still many young directors who can't even use the camera, so I just set up a training camp, and get hands-on with the lens, lighting, and video, and if I want to make a movie, I will go in first and come out for a month. ”
"As for the preparation, isn't there no chance for young directors? all of them are sent to the First Film Festival, the script is good, the shots are used well, the money is given to people, and after the filming, they come back to judge the award and find a distributor. ”
“......”
Ning Hao said a lot, it seems that he really thought about it a lot.
To be honest, the things he thinks about belong to the infrastructure problems of the film and television industry, but the strange thing is that there are really not many companies in China doing this.
Even if there were, it was a small fight, and there was no dragon.
So the forces were dispersed and did not form a scale.
Ning Hao dared to put forward these ideas, in addition to making money, it is estimated that there is also official support behind it.
Xu Zheng was thoughtful, Huang Bo was hesitant, but Zhou Jin was very excited.
"I would like to add that when it comes to online publicity, we must have our own film self-media. ”
"We can't always let film critics and trolls lead us by the nose, we have to control the right to speak by ourselves. ”
Ning Hao said: "I called you over, isn't it just brainstorming, if you have ideas, say more." ”
Huang Bo and Xu Zheng looked at him together.
The two of them are middle-aged, have families and businesses, are no more ambitious than Ning Hao, nor younger than Zhou Jin, and think more about everything.
They are not very interested in the infrastructure problems that Ning Hao said about losing money and making money.
At their level, are they afraid that they won't be able to find a good director and use their own training?
But it's different to engage in movie self-media.
As actors-turned-directors, they understand the importance of online media all too well.
The box office of "Thai Embarrassment" can soar so high, it can be said that network marketing is the first contribution.
Zhou Jin actually hasn't been engaged in self-media, but he has never eaten pork, he has always seen pigs running, thought about it, and took a pen and paper out.
"WeChat public account, headlines, Douban, forced to press, Weibo, Hupu, Youku, iQiyi, Tencent Video, all have to be put on our account, and the ultimate goal is to make your own APP. ”
"Regarding the form, in the community, it is mainly text and pictures, and on the video website, it is mainly based on movie commentary and short videos, well, you can also go to YouTube to download videos. ”
"Regarding the content, first go to Douban and Rotten Tomatoes to copy a bunch of movie reviews and come back, find out the movies that young people like to watch, with commentary, share a few every day, and then link to the resources, so that users can share to download, so that you can quickly drain the ......"
"Hey, wait a minute," Huang Bo suddenly stopped, "Aren't you engaged in piracy?"
"Yes, it has to be like this at the beginning, otherwise why would people listen to us beep, of course, you can't do it in the later stage. ”
Since becoming a successful person, Zhou Jin has found that his discipline is getting lower and lower.
Many things that were filled with righteous indignation in the previous life, are very calm in this life.
There is no other reason than to make him profitable.
Huang Bo stopped talking, and Xu Zheng said slowly: "I understand what you mean, but you can't just do movie news, gossip news, and breaking the news." ”
There's no way, the people who eat melons love to watch these.
"Then, what is this number called?" Ning Hao had already agreed with Zhou Jin's idea.
"Look at gossip every day?" this is Huang Bo.
"Huahua Entertainment?" this is Xu Zheng.
"Phew, that's ugly," this is Zhou Jin.
"It's ugly, you don't have a bad one," this is Ning Hao.
Zhou Jin thought about it for a while, and finally wrote four small words on the paper: orange image.
