But the TV series of 200 million......

In this era when the average TV series is only 30 or 40 million, it can't be sold if it is made!

What can't be sold is garbage!

Unless......

Mao Yi touched his chin and looked at Cai Yinong.

"Boss?" Cai Yinong's heart moved, although he was a little unsure that Mao Yi could think of it, but Mao Yi had always created many "miracles", so Cai Yinong was still very curious.

She really wants to know how Mao Yi can sell 200 million TV series.

"Is the copyright of "Sword and Fairy III" a play or a ......"

"Uh-this is usually the deadline?" wait!" Cai Yinong suddenly thought of something, incredulously but asked, "Boss, do you want to ...... Shoot separately?"

"Yes. Mao Yi smiled and nodded.

"Yes...... There's no need. Cai Yinong asked puzzledly: "Isn't it okay to shoot together?" I saw it, that is, the boss you added something is more expensive, you can reduce it appropriately, anyway, the effect is about the same......

"Nope. Mao Yi shook his head and said seriously: "I'm going to make a super web drama." ”

"Super web drama?"

"To be precise, it's a network and station union. Mao Yi said with a smile.

Cai Yinong's mind flashed with inspiration, and he asked tentatively: "The advanced version of the mode of "Hit"?"

"Bingo!" Mao Yi explained with a smile: "I can make a drama into five stages to shoot, so that it will not exceed the budget too much, and each stage will be one season, and five seasons will broadcast all the episodes." ”

"Yes...... That's completely unnecessary. Cai Yinong said puzzled.

"Who said that?" Mao Yi asked with a smile: "You know American dramas, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Then do you know the production cost of American dramas?" Mao Yi asked with a smile.

"This ...... Quite a lot. "Cai Yinong vaguely guessed something?

"Actually, American dramas are this model. Mao Yi explained with a smile: "After establishing a project, I will take the lead in producing a complete script, and then divide the script into several stages, and then expand the plot of each stage, which gives me the illusion that American dramas are basically high-quality products." ”

In fact, there are examples of this model in China.

But this example......

But six years later.

The costume fairy drama invested and produced by the fourth master's company, Straw Bear, - "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan War".

Among them, the fourth master is the husband of 644, and the heroine Yu Wuxin is the round-faced chick Yingbao that Mao Yi met by chance before.

That drama is the backstage of the first network, and the time span is from September of 15 years to February of 16 years.

The broadcast platform is naturally iQiyi.

iQIYI broadcasts a few episodes every month, and the TV station's winter vacation file conducts 1.5 rounds of follow-up broadcasts in the form of daily broadcasts, and then iQIYI opens free broadcast permissions with the broadcast progress of satellite TV.

The online version and the TV version will be different in terms of the position, method, technique, suspense setting, and even the music of the editing.

Of course, that drama is not comparable to Mao Yi's current play.

After all, it's a martial arts drama, and there aren't many special effects.

So the total investment is only 150 million.

And Mao Yi is 200 million in 09!

Considering inflation, that's more than twice as much as the show!

"But like this...... There is no precedent. Cai Yinong was a little dazed.

That's 200 million!

Nowadays, when the vast majority of TV series are only 30 million, and the movie budget is only about 100 million, Mao Yi has to spend 200 million to make a TV series?

And listening to what he meant, how can there be a sense that it seems to be possible?

"There was no concept of online dramas before, but now there are them?" Mao Yi asked with a smile.

Cai Yinong was speechless.

Thinking of a way, Mao Yi was not in a hurry.

Although I can't remember the specific operation anymore.

But......

It's not difficult, it's ......

How to convince the TV station to buy this drama.

Divide a TV series into five parts, shoot it with a budget of 40 million for each part, and release it, so that you can earn five parts.

He's a clever little ghost.

Cai Yinong really smiled bitterly.

Why is it that when you come to Mao Yi, it won't be a problem?

Originally, I wanted to see Mao Yi's jokes.

After all, it is a joke to want to shoot a TV series with a budget of more than 200 million this year.

But now......

"Such an expensive TV series...... Do you want to split it into two TV stations to sell it?" Cai Yinong asked with a wry smile.

"No, for the sake of integrity, it will only be sold to one. ”

"But this is a real budget of 200 million, even if it is impossible to sell so much in the finished film, but ......" Cai Yinong stopped when he wanted to speak.

Even if there is a rich TV station, it will not directly take out 200 million yuan to take this risk!

Therefore, the transaction price of the first round is probably only 50 million.

Yes, it is possible to sell and broadcast at the same time, but ......

In this way, the quality of the episodes ......

slapped his forehead, Cai Yinong realized that this was the most unnecessary point to worry about.

First of all, this drama is a ninety-fifty restoration of the original game, and there will be fans of the original book who like it.

Secondly, 40 million is equivalent to the money of someone else's entire TV series to shoot some episodes, even if there are many episodes of this super web drama, after being divided into five parts, each part will not exceed 20 episodes.

So......

Can the quality of 40 million and 20 episodes be the same as that of 40 million and 30 episodes of TV series?

Even this number of episodes could be reduced a bit.

If you spend 40 million to shoot ten episodes......

Four million episodes?

This is the standard for American dramas at this time, right?

Cai Yinong had some toothache.

"Actually......" Mao Yi said with a smile: "I hope that the TV station can only buy a part, so that I can sell it to several TV stations." ”

When Cai Yinong heard this sentence at first glance, he didn't think too much.

But when she returned to the office, she was shocked into a cold sweat!

When a play is divided into five or six parts......

Then there must be TV series that play in a different order.

I'm afraid what you're seeing today is the first part.

But the next day, I saw the fifth part.

And also on other TV stations.

So......

What will the audience think?

Very angry!

Very angry!

The reputation of the TV station is bad.

Then at this time, people found that on iQiyi, the full version can be seen......

Poison!

It's so poisonous!

This is equivalent to using the popularity and reputation of other TV stations to advertise for iQiyi!

And it's the kind of ad that makes people desperate!

So what if the TV station doesn't buy it?

That's not good.

Everyone else has it, you don't have it, who still looks at you?

The production cost of four million episodes, such a big gimmick, Cai Yinong doesn't believe that the company's propaganda department is a fool!

Even if you are a fool, then this news will not be broken?

No!

Don't talk about others, even if it's Cai Yinong, he will take the initiative to explode!

A TV series with a production cost of 4 million episodes!

The grade is comparable to American dramas!

How high should the quality be?

How beneficial is that to the participating artists?
