Zhang Hongzhen...

I just wanted Mango TV and Lay's to add money, but I didn't expect the other party to react so violently...

Zhang Hongzhen: "I lost more than 200 million back and forth!"

Lu Xiaoran frowned: "That's Mango Channel, didn't you talk to the film buying department?"

Zhang Hongzhen's expression was a little embarrassed...

It was clear that he contacted other TV stations behind Mango Channel's back, or other TV stations took the initiative to contact him...

"This is "The Hunting Ground", the project of the king of the drama is booked!"

If it had been changed to another TV series, maybe it would have been like that...

The king of drama...

Let's put it this way, in 2018, the online copyright of the drama king "Pekingese and the New Yorker" was sold for 15 million yuan, with a total of 80 episodes of 1.2 billion yuan, and the TV copyright was 25 million yuan per episode, totaling 2 billion yuan

A total of 3.2 billion yuan of TV and network copyrights were sold.

This is two years later, there is no comparison, so let's take a look at the announcement issued by Ciwen Media last month: In September 2016, Ciwen Media announced that it sold the first round of TV exclusive broadcast rights of a contemporary-themed urban drama to Mango Channel, and the price was as high as 3.84 yuan - "Liangsheng, Can We Not Be Sad"...

But webcast copyright, the three major video websites, has set a single episode of 15 million!

384 million + 800 million close to 1.2 billion...

In the past two years, with the over-reliance of video websites on head content and the successful exploration of the membership payment model, the online price of head content has begun to soar, ten times or even dozens of times that of before, and the most sensational event at that time was the 5 million single episode of "Lao Jiumen", which is considered to be a landmark event of the online drama payment model and network copyright.

Once the wild horse is unleashed, it can no longer be contained.

Since then, the competition of video websites has begun to compete for price, to see who has the most strength to offer the highest price - the copyright of a single episode of "Lonely Fang Doesn't Appreciate Yourself" exceeded 10 million!

That's right, it's "Cutout is not self-appreciating" of 'The cold winter wax moon is lonely and fragrant, and the flowers on the other side are fragrant!'...

The cards in "Hunting Ground" are no worse than "Cutout"!

Of course, Zhang Hongzhen felt that he had lost...

“… In fact, you can just sue Lay's, they really don't have any money... Mango Terrace, it's better not to mess with..."

"I know in my heart... By the way, "The Great Wall" was released in the United States first, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Why was it released in the U.S. first?"

"Disney has raised the file first, and if it is released as originally planned, it will lose at least half of the box office worldwide..."

"I don't know anything about movies, but you must have your reasons for doing this!"

Lu Xiaoran diverted the topic: "... Brother Zhang, I actually like the 'Yan Shuangying' series!"

Zhang Hongzhen smiled bitterly: "... But Yanqiu and Zijian don't want to play anymore,"

Zhang Zijian, Liang Guanhua, Qian Yanqiu, the trio created the trilogy of "Detective Di Renjie" and the six-part trilogy of "Yan Shuangying"...

I'm tired of playing crookedly!

Zhang Hongzhen sighed: "It's not easy to shoot anti-Japanese dramas now!"

"Yes, people are becoming more and more intolerant of not using realistic methods to represent the war of resistance. Art, it doesn't have to be a true reflection of history. It's okay to use romantic, humorous and witty techniques..."

"The main thing is that there are too many thunder dramas during this time..."

Yan Shuangying series, in a sense, is also a thunder drama, but... As long as you watch it, you will feel good!

The ubiquitous desire to promote and suppress the pretense, the most extreme pretending, the purest enjoyment...

Zhang Hongzhen: "Okay, I'll just complain to you, you're also very busy, go first!"

“… Brother Zhang, let me introduce you to Lao Zeng, he is quite familiar with several high-level executives of Mango Terrace, let him help tie the string and build the bridge..."

Zhang Hongzhen looked at Lu Xiaoran seriously: "Thank you!"

“… You're welcome!"

……

In fact, the entertainment industry is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and those who make theatrical movies can't look down on the Internet!

In the same way, those who make movies don't necessarily look like they make TV series.

Zhang Hongzhen's Dongyang Qingyu has basically relied on Qian Yanqiu's "Yan Shuangying" in recent years, Jiang Wei's cycle is too slow, Lu Xiaoran is already a world-renowned director, and he still only has two or three works...

Anyway, he's not in a hurry, he has work to do!

The producer of "Beijing Meets Seattle" is him...

Therefore, "The Hunting Ground" can be sold at the beginning of filming!

This matter has little to do with Lu Xiaoran, "Hunting Ground", "Orange" did not participate in the investment, Zhang Hongzhen probably couldn't think of a way, and made an appointment with Lu Xiaoran...

Lao Lu is very grateful to Zhang Hongzhen!

In "Latent" that year, Zhang Hongzhen especially trusted him and let a novice in his twenties serve as the assistant director, screenwriter, and starring of the crew!

Although the two sides have almost broken off contact in recent years, there is still a friendship...

So, this favor, he helped...

This thing is very easy to do, as long as Mango TV does not pursue it, a simple crumbling Lay's video can't help Zhang Hongzhen at all...

Lu Xiaoran introduced Zeng Guangxian to Zhang Hongzhen, which actually meant to help...

……

Zhang Hongzhen left, and Lu Xiaoran looked at the "Dingfeng Bo, Mo Listen to the Sound of the Forest Hitting the Leaves" hanging on the wall of the Rain Pavilion: Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not chant and walk slowly. Bamboo canes and shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid?

It's quite touching!

Who is afraid?

During this time, there have been many rumors in the industry about "The Great Wall", most of which are down-"Warcraft" has failed miserably, and "The Great Wall" can still stir up the storm?

Playing Sino-American co-production, Huayi is actually the first, "The King of Kung Fu"...

Although Hua Yi did not lose money, "The King of Kung Fu" can be regarded as ending the living space of Chinese kung fu stars in North America...

Li Lianjie + Cheng Long + Rob Minkoff, none of them met expectations...

Rob Minkoff, a well-known Hollywood... Animation director, directed "The Lion King", "Elf Mouse Brother"...

This time in "Warcraft", Huayi is also deeply involved.

So, they'd love to see The Great Wall fail!

Other companies in the industry...

is basically happy to see the failure of "The Great Wall" - the orange family is dominant, which has long been dissatisfied!

It's best to make "The Wall" an orange's Waterloo...

'The old king defeated Dama City, and Lu Xiaoran dreamed of breaking the Great Wall'...

It's quite a rhyme!

These people pay more attention to the word-of-mouth and box office of "The Great Wall" than Lu Xiaoran...

On Rotten Tomatoes, "The Great Wall" currently has a freshness of 72%, a professional average score of 6.910, and an average audience score of 3.95.

IMDb rating, "The Great Wall" has a rating of 7.310, while on the professional rating website MTC, "The Great Wall" has a rating of 58100...

On the whole, it is a popcorn movie of the upper middle level!

As for how much box office it can get...

The day isn't over yet, no one knows for sure!

But many self-media have already said that '"The Great Wall" may fail', and made up a bunch of reasons, such as: the October market has never been very high, Americans don't care about "The Great Wall", and even talked about "Detective Jack"...

I want to be the Emperor of Prophecy!

But how about you check the information - Tom Cruise is not the heartthrob of the year in North America, of course, the opening theaters of "Detective Jack 2" are the highest in the same period: 3760, and the opening theaters of "The Great Wall" are 3260...
