Chapter 55: Saving the Country with a Curve

He is surrounded by a director, or rather, a pre-director, whose project "Dart in the World" has received a special investment from the movie channel.

Many people see the station logo of the movie channel saying CCTV6, thinking that they are the sixth elder brother, but in fact, they are on an equal footing with CCTV and directly under the General Administration of Optoelectronics!

The full name is Huaying Group Movie Channel!

It's just that the satellite program is broadcast on CCTV and uses the channel number of CCTV.

The movie channel was launched in 1996, when the output of domestic films was too small, and foreign films could not be imported in large quantities because of high copyright fees.

Also, the films before the return of Xiangjiang, including the previous Taiwan films, are considered foreign films, and only co-productions are considered domestic.

It's too expensive to buy copyrights!

But you can't play the same movie every day on a movie channel, right?

Moreover, a state-owned unit cannot release pirated content, so it adopts a method learned from abroad, which is to shoot films by itself, and then broadcast them mainly on its own platform, in order to supplement the film library of the movie channel.

So, in 1999, the first TV movie on the movie channel aired.

Because of the low investment in TV and movies, their own people-friendly content soon became the main part of the movie channel program, and the TV and film department under the movie channel is responsible for the approval, project approval and investment of TV and film.

Equivalent to the current homemade film!

Television movies are movies that are shot specifically for television broadcasting, and they use the language and narrative of the film, but they are not shown in cinemas.

HBO has shot a large number of TV movies, the famous "Detective Hunter" is actually a TV movie series, "Youth Musical" seems to be the first two in the form of TV movies, which were very popular after the broadcast, and Disney saw that it was a good start, so it filmed the third part and released it in theaters, and then made a lot of money.

Where will the production money come from?

Hehe, in its heyday, the ratings of the movie channel far exceeded that of other TV stations, and it was among the top five in the country!

The top four advertisements are basically more than 4 billion, and the movie channel is not phenomenal, so how can the annual income reach 1.5 billion!

However, these revenues have to be paid to the public...

Funds will then be allocated by the upper hand to maintain the daily operation of the movie channel.

The creative funding of the TV and film department is also from the state, and the investment in a TV movie is about 1 million, at most 5 million, and the shooting cycle is usually one week...

Of course, you can also invest yourself, do a good job, sell to movie channels, control the budget, and the possibility of losing money is not very likely - this good budget means that the budget cannot exceed one million!

Movie channels buy copyrights, of course, they will pay more than one million in copyright fees, but these are aimed at blockbusters screened in theaters.

Around "Darts in the World", he is ready to be his own director!

It's a pity that investors don't look down on him, including the movie channel, they clearly told him that if they can find a director in Xiangjiang, they will give an investment of 1 million, but if he becomes a director himself, this investment can only be halved...

There is no way, in the past few years, the film and television industry has been particularly serious in pursuing Hong Kong and Taiwan, not to mention superstars, that is, third-rate stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan to mainland crews can be superior!

Even more than ten years later, the Heavenly Court Banquet has neither appeal nor acting skills, but the movies are one after another, and they are all starring...

Are you angry?

He wants to find Yuehua Media to invest, after all, Zhang Junsheng is a famous person who is stupid and has a lot of money, and the people over Yuehua made it clear that they are not interested in TV movies!

I want to fight for it again!

He watched that issue of "The Birth of an Actor", and with the director's unique vision, he could see that Zhang Junsheng liked Zhao Liying very much!

How to convince investors to invest?

A: The best thing to do is to convince their pillow person!

So, I found Zhao Liying around...

……

"What's the use of you telling me, I'm a newcomer..."

Although Baozi is not deeply involved in the world, she also knows that this matter has nothing to do with her, so it is better not to take it all over.

"As long as you hand over the script to Zhang Junsheng and say that you want to act, I believe he will definitely invest!"

“… I'm a newcomer, and I never had a chance to meet Mr. Zhang!"

"Plop!"

Kneeling directly around...

"What are you doing, you get up!"

Zhao Liying hurriedly wanted to reach out and pull him, but unfortunately, with a weight of 300 pounds, how could she pull it up like this?

The magnitude is clearly different!

"Just help me, I really can't help it..."

"No, I'm really not familiar with Zhang Junsheng, I don't even have his phone, how can I help you?"

Zhao Liying was also anxious, she didn't understand why this fat man was entangled with herself?

There were a lot of people around the side, all watching the excitement...

"That's it, Mr. Zhang will go to the company tomorrow, you beg me to go directly to him. ”

Baozi really couldn't help it, so he gave him an idea...

……

Yuehua Media, its six major departments, Zhao Liying is just a new small role in the brokerage department, except for her agent, few people pay attention to her at all.

Although they knew that she was very valued by Zhang Junsheng, the company was all veterans, and they felt that Zhang Junsheng had probably eaten enough of the delicacies of the mountains and seas and wanted to change the taste, so they were interested in this tunhua.

Can there be professionals in the draft?

Last year's vigorous "Voice of Huaguo Dream", the top 10 selected, are popular and make a lot of money, but they have not been recognized by professionals!

Not to mention the actors selected in the draft!

A young actor who hasn't even started acting!

Therefore, few people know what happened to Zhao Liying in the talent training class, except for her agent...

Cheng Lu, Wang Shumei brought it out, and the actors she signed under her include Wang Bo, Wang Kai and Zhao Liying.

Baozi is the only female brand in her hand, and when she learned that she was harassed, Cheng Lu immediately reported it to Wang Shumei, who told Zhang Junsheng, who was editing in the post-production.

"TV movies?"

The Son of the Plane had never thought about TV movies before.

That thing is too low...

However, the profitability of recent domestic films is too low.

The head of the film department has been thinking of ways to recoup the profits.

It's better to cooperate with a movie channel!

Let's say a micro-film...

immediately dialed Tang Ningyu's phone: "Is it possible for us to cooperate with the movie channel to develop TV movies?"

“… This, it should work!"

Tang Ningyu's eyes lit up.

How could he not have thought of it!

In cooperation with the movie channel, there is one more risk sharing party, not to mention one more profit channel!

The audio-visual copyright sales of "Feast" were 12 million yuan, the copyright transaction of the movie channel was 4 million yuan, and the advertising revenue was close to 20 million yuan...

These ensure the return of the Feast.

Of course, it is impossible for TV movies to make a lot of money, but a TV movie can still guarantee profits, and the most important thing is that it can allow new directors to practice their skills.

"You mentioned to them that in this year's Micro Film Competition, the top 10 can be sold exclusively to movie channels. ”

“…”

Tang Ningyu really wanted to scold, profiteer!

I actually want to sell the micro-film to the TV station...

"By the way, there is a series called "Darts in the World", you go to talk to the movie channel, and say that the first two are filmed in the quality of TV movies, and the last few are going to be made into theatrical movies, and see how much money they will make. ”
