Chapter Twenty-Six: Making Television?
"Aren't you my agent?"
"I'm not a professional agent, and I can't make up my mind about many things, since you're an actor, you still need a professional team to take care of it..."
"There's no hurry," Lu Xiaoran waved his hand: "Even if you give me the best brokerage team now, it's useless, after all, my popularity is here." ”
"The top priority at the moment is to find a channel to get money, and it is too difficult to support a company with my little rent!"
Although there are only three people in this company...
Zeng Guangxian sat down and put on a long posture: "Since you have talked about it here, boss, I want to ask, why do you want to make a movie?"
"Because... The movie is there!"
"Seriously!"
Lu Xiaoran also became serious: "I want to be popular, whether it is acting or being a director, the ultimate goal is to make me popular!"
"It's too uncomfortable not to be popular, you should also know that the projects that have been negotiated and the contracts have been signed, and if you are told to get out, you have to get out, there is no need to negotiate!"
Zeng Guangxian smiled: "And then?"
“... And then?"
"What about after you're red?"
"After it's red?"
Lu Xiaoran didn't expect what would happen after he became popular...
Everything he does now is for the sake of red.
“... Engaging in the acting career, if you have enough opportunities, it is easy to harvest money that is difficult for ordinary people to earn in a lifetime. But most of them get lost after making money, such as Liu Xiaoqing..."
"Don't worry, I don't have the guts to break the law!"
"Think about it. ”
Picking up the teacup, Zeng Guangxian took a sip, and then said: "Doing film and television investment, either making movies or TV series, now making movies is too risky, so I'm not very optimistic about you making movies, but you don't use the company's money, and I didn't say anything." ”
“... I'm not stupid!"
"Border Storm", there are now four investors, and the initial estimated production budget of 5 million has now increased to 8 million - Zhang Guoli + Sun Honglei + Huang Bo, such a combination is going for 20 million...
(Some people question Sun Honglei's box office appeal, yes, his box office appeal is very poor, "Border Storm", "Witnessed by the Whole People", "Drug War" box office is not very good, but they all return to the basics, and "Drug War" also sold Korean copyrights, "Full Name Witness", Sun Honglei presses Guo Fucheng, "Drug War", Sun Honglei presses Gu Tianluo, although he is a marginal figure in the Beijing circle, it is also a first-line level... )
"Why don't you make a TV series?"
“... Huh?"
"Compared with movies, as long as the script of a TV series is good, it can bring in a few partners, I remember that Pony used to make TV series..."
"You think too simply, the water in the TV drama circle is too deep..."
Making a drama is a little more complicated than making a movie, not in terms of the production process, but about the rules that are light or dark.
There are usually four profit models for TV dramas: first-round broadcasting rights, second-round broadcasting rights, audio-visual network broadcasting rights, and overseas broadcasting rights.
In the entire industrial chain, TV stations are in an absolutely strong position, with CCTV as the most, followed by Shangxing Satellite TV, and then local stations.
Moreover, each TV station has its own stable partners, and it is extremely difficult for newcomers to get a piece of the pie.
Even if the TV station buys your drama, it may not be broadcast, even if it is broadcast, it may not be finished, and even if it is broadcast, it may not be in prime time, and ratings are the whole basis.
Thousands of TV series are produced in China every year, and less than one-tenth of them can be released in the end.
"It's okay to you, Xiaoma has it, Zhang Guoli has it, you can come up with a few episodes that they are interested in!"
“... How can it be so easy... Wait, you let me think about it. ”
......
Night.
Shanghai, Hotel.
Sugar Candy is blogging...
It's her habit!
In the era of traditional media, celebrities have to ask reporters for help if they want to maintain exposure or make some bullshit statements.
Make an appointment in advance, you pretend to do things, and people squat in the corner of the wall, click and pat, which is considered to take what they need.
In 2005, that is, since the beginning of blogs, the entertainment industry has slowly moved towards the era of self-explosion and self-blackening, and it is all about creativity.
In the past, celebrities pretended to be cold to death, for fear of being scolded by others;
Later, the gang of goods who pretended to be cold were all down-to-earth again, for fear of being scolded for pretending to be forced to do so.
The rest are the really cold guys...
The blog is very popular, especially after celebrities such as Xu Jinglei and Han Shao joined, it became a new profit and loss point for Za Lang.
Countless celebrities have started blogging...
Tangtang writes a blog, which was originally arranged by a brokerage company - her previous brokerage company was called STAR-KING, which was later acquired by Chengtian and naturally transferred to Chengtian...
Then, she slowly got used to documenting her life...
It doesn't matter if anyone is watching or not.
""Modern Beauty" will be finished tomorrow, and then "Prairie Spring Comes Early", I'm so tired of being an actor!"
"Prairie Spring Comes Early", a CCTV customized drama, she can be in that play, all thanks to the company's promotion...
Only a few minutes after it was released, Lu Xiaoran's call came: "... Why don't you discuss it with me before you take over the play?"
“... This is the mission drama that Sister Li said, are you angry?"
"No... I'm going to Berlin in a while, do you have time?"
"Berlin, do you want to go to the film festival?"
“... Right. ”
"I asked Sister Li. ”
"Sister Li?"
"Sister Li is my former agent, Mr. Yu has been transferred to another department, and we are back under the management of Sister Li, Sister Li is very powerful, and she has a very good relationship with Director Wang Jing!"
“... Xu Li?"
"You know her?"
“... You know, hyping you and Qi Ji CP is her idea, right?"
Xu Li, who single-handedly became popular with Nie Yuan, is also a well-known agent in the circle.
"I have nothing to do with Brother Qi, it's not that you don't know!"
“... You go to the agent to discuss, I'm busy first, I'll call me later. ”
"What are you busy with?"
"Write the script..."
Leaving the next sentence, Lu Xiaoran hung up the phone...
'Doot toot...'
Tangtang looked at her phone suspiciously, isn't the script of "Border Storm" already completed?
Regardless of him, Sugar Candy dialed the agent's number.
Lu Xiaoran is indeed writing a script, or an outline of the script, including the relationship between the characters and the fishbone diagram of the event - "Snow Leopard".
That's right, he decided to do two blossoms - the movie to do, and the TV series to do it!
There is no way, we have to find a profitable channel for the company...
He is going to cooperate with Yu Rongguang, and he is going to Yunnan to survey the scenery, and he is bound to worship the wharf, Yu Rongguang is a big man in the Yunnan entertainment industry, and there is no one more familiar with Yunnan Film and Television Base.
A drama like "Snow Leopard", he must like it!
By the way, Yu Rongguang is the director of 'Fighting Horses'...
He has filmed "Wolf Poison Flower", and he has no resistance to such a script with the attributes of a divine drama.
Why not find a pony?
Lu Xiaoran is not stupid, where will Pony Bento lack scripts - Lan Xiaolong, Liu Heng, Lu Wei, and Shu Huan are all its contracted screenwriters!
The most important thing is that this person has a good character and is very famous in the circle...
