Chapter 569: Déjà vu reincarnation
Hou Hongliang's first intention did not exceed Li Mo's expectations.
Regarding the cooperation between the two sides in the production of TV series, in a sense, the mentality of Hou Hongliang's team is actually more anxious than Li Mo.
Speaking of which, it is necessary to explain once again the cooperation agreement signed by Molong Media and Hou Hongliang's team.
Molong Media invested in the capital, Hou Hongliang's team invested in the shooting team, and the two sides jointly established Noon Sunshine Film and Television Co., Ltd.
In the early days of its establishment, Molong Media's shareholding ratio was 65 percent, while Hou Hongliang's team held 35 percent of the shares, and the profits of the two parties in the course of operation were distributed according to this proportion.
After five years of cooperation between the two parties or the production of seven TV dramas, Hou Hongliang's team can choose to activate the share repurchase clause and purchase shares from Molon Media according to the amount of capital contribution of Molon Media at the time of the establishment of the company, but after activating this clause, if there is no external financing, the proportion of Molon Media's shares in the company shall not be less than 15%.
In the event of external financing, Molong Media can give priority to expanding its shareholding in Noon Sunshine through financing according to the valuation at the time of financing......
That is to say, as the big financier of the company when it was established, at least until Hou Hongliang's team got the company's leadership and carried out the first financing, Noon Sunshine would always be under the control of Molong Media, and enjoy most of the benefits during this period.
For this situation, Hou Hongliang's team, which is ambitious and wants to come out to fight the world by himself, will naturally not be reconciled.
Even with the level of meticulous work they did when they made the TV series, five years is enough time to toss at least ten works, so why do they have to wait for the end of the five-year contract period?
Wouldn't it be better to shoot seven works early?
It's a pity that Zong Shuai, such an old and cunning guy, had already prepared enough pits for the other party when he signed the contract.
The original contract stipulated that within five years, if Hou Hongliang's team self-financed and wanted to start shooting film and television works, Molong would not be restricted, but the works they self-financed were not included in the seven works stipulated in the contract......
…… So when Hou Hongliang said that the two sides would continue to cooperate with each other, Li Mo had almost guessed that the other party was not willing to delay the time until the end of the contract, but planned to actively fulfill the contract and strive to take back the company's dominance as soon as possible.
As for what he said about playing for the others......
This one seems to be ...... We'll talk about that later.
I just don't know what kind of good book can make these people come to the door in such a hurry.
Under Li Mo's inquiring gaze, Hou Hongliang exchanged glances with Li and Kong, and finally he opened his mouth stubbornly.
"That's right, in the process of filming "Langya Bang", Lao Kong and their people read the original work of "Langya Bang" in order to better grasp the basic spirit and characteristics of the characters, so they have a certain understanding of this aspect of the Internet......"
Hearing this, Li Mo was not surprised.
With the professionalism of Kong Sheng and Li Hao, it would be strange if they did not have any preparation for the original work before filming.
It's just that...... Listening to what they mean, it seems that they have taken a fancy to a certain network.
It's a bit of a hassle.
Of course, the so-called trouble here does not refer to funds or actors or anything, even if Molong Media is currently blooming on multiple lines, it is still easy to get the money to invest in a TV series.
Li Mo is worried about the problem of the broadcast platform.
Because of the network in these years, the scale is generally a bit ...... Big.
It's not 2018 that has experienced many 'rectification' movements, today's online literature industry is really mixed, mud and sand, if some popular works are calculated according to the starting scale, in 2018 it is basically a chapter kneeling, although I don't know which Hou Hongliang they fell into, now Li Mo only hopes that it will not be the kind of heavy taste that is so bad......
"I don't know which work Director Li and Director Kong have fallen in love with?"
"It's about adventure, called "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". ”
Hehe...... When he heard this name, Li Mo really didn't know whether to praise Hou Hongliang and others for their unique vision or to sigh at the wonder of fate.
In the original time and space, the noon sun produced countless good dramas, and the limelight was unrivaled for a while, but a company, where can it always be smooth sailing?
As one of the few surreal works involving adventure themes, the production of the seasonal drama series of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series is one of the few missed by Noon Sunshine.
The missed hand here is not to say that the quality of the dramas they produced is not good and the response is too bad, in fact, among all the adaptations and derivatives related to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" produced by Noon Sunshine can even be said to be the best quality.
The occasional reading miss here actually refers to a problem in the marketing of the series.
The main initiator of the project "Ghost Blows the Lantern to the Exquisite Ancient City" (note: hereinafter referred to as the Exquisite Ancient City) is actually Penguin Video.
After acquiring Zero Point Chinese Network, Penguin Video successfully obtained the copyright of all the online drama adaptations of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series.
In order to enrich the drama library of its own website, Penguin Video naturally thought of the big I that could be held in its hands - the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series.
However, although Penguin Video has a lot of money, it can only be regarded as a novice when it comes to content production.
In order to ensure quality, Penguin Video found Noon Sunshine, which had already produced high-scoring dramas such as "The Pretender" and "Langya Bang" at that time, and vaguely had the reputation of "the conscience of national dramas", at the expense of the broadcast rights of the TV platform, in exchange for cooperation between the two parties.
At that time, the noon sun was in high spirits, and Li Hao, Kong Sheng and others naturally did not find such a task difficult.
So, Penguin Video took the lead, and Noon Sunshine contributed, summoning Jin Dong, Chen Qiaoen, Zhao Da, Yue Yang and others to go to the desert of Western Xinjiang, gnawing the sand for 3 months, and finally completed this work.
The work is completed, the actors' acting skills are in place, the test screening has a good reputation, and as the project initiator of the series, Penguin Video was first broadcast on its own website.
Within 24 hours of broadcasting, the number of webcasts exceeded 1.7 billion;
In the first 16 days of broadcasting, the number of webcasts exceeded 1.1 billion;
More than half of the plot is played, and the number of webcasts is close to 1.6 billion......
No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that a classic work is rising, and Noon Sunshine has even communicated with Modu Satellite TV, waiting for it to be broadcast on the stars......
As a result, at the last moment before the star, the original author Tianxia Ba Sing stopped the broadcast of "Exquisite Ancient City" on the grounds that Penguin Video only purchased the copyright of the online adaptation......
As a result, the unlucky Noon Sunshine can only watch Penguin Video make a lot of money with advertising revenue on the online platform, while they can only 'take the gold and ask for food'......
Anyway, until Li Mo crossed over, this confused lawsuit was still there......
The confused lawsuit in the original time and space is naturally not within Li Mo's control, he just wants to know now, why did Hou Hongliang and others suddenly remember to adapt "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"?
Is there some force at work behind this?
