Chapter 56: Grievances (1/5)

"I took "Do You Know"..."

"It's a good thing, Kong Sheng's team is very good at making costume dramas!"

“… I heard that "Daughter Country" is on casting?"

"You go and try it, it should be fine!"

Since Zhang Junsheng made it public, Liu Sisi's status has risen immediately, to what extent... Well, even Guo Xiaoting is inexplicably a bunch of people add her > obviously, the curve saves the country!

It's like after Gan Wei married Jia Yueting, it turned out that she was just a little transparent in the circle, and then suddenly there were a bunch of good girlfriends...

Many times, people take the initiative to make friends with you, and you can't refuse...

What's more, Liu Sisi is not the kind of person who is particularly good at hypocrisy and wrongdoing!

However, she has always had a good relationship with Zhao Liying, although she is not a best friend, but she can definitely talk, mainly because the direction of development between these two is not the same...

Liu Sisi suddenly spoke: "No, I heard that you are going to take "The Legend of Chu Qiao"?"

“… I took it, and halfway through the play left!"

"Why?"

"Sister Mei said, the crew cheated people, and the script prepared was a yin and yang script!"

“… Oh, I see, Sister Mei definitely can't accept it!"

Yin and Yang script, the new unspoken rule in the circle, is that in the early stage of the project, find two teams, one is responsible for the initial script, and the other team is responsible for "water injection"...

Generally, what is handed over to the big actors is the initial script, and the script is shot after the water is injected...

There's no way, TV stations buy dramas based on the number of episodes!

According to the original script, the plot is too tight, and it will end soon, and the show will lose one-third of the money it makes now.

In the original "Fairy Sword One", in order to prolong the episodes, several screenwriters added about three episodes of Tang Yu Xiaobao and Anu scenes...

Gather 25 episodes.

In today's costume dramas, I'm embarrassed to come out to meet people without sixty or seventy episodes!

Of course, the water injection set can be stuffed with newcomers, and it can also pull sponsorship...

In the end, it's all about money!

There are not many actors in the circle who have the courage to say no to the yin and yang scripts, after all, most actors take on a play just to make a living...

Even if you find out that the script has changed, the salary will not change anyway...

"I feel a little sorry for Director Wu..."

“… It's not your fault, the producer is shameless, who is the producer?"

"Ciwen Media and Mitao Pictures..."

Zhang Junsheng walked down with Brother Song, and Brother Song spoke: "Don't blame Sister Mei for letting you refuse halfway, it's really a congenital deficiency in "The Legend of Chu Qiao"!"

Liu Sisi was curious: "What do you say?"

"There are two producers of "The Legend of Chu Qiao", Ciwen Media and Hua Tsekton. To be exact, it's Ciwen's Mitao Pictures and Keton's Syndicate. It should be a few years ago, Ciwen and the syndicate teamed up to set up a company called Cijia Film and Television. The project "The Biography of Chu Qiao" was originally in the hands of Cijia. In April last year, Liu Miao, general manager of Cijia Film and Television, led the team to join Ciwen. Later, Ciwen established Mitao Pictures, Liu Miao served as the general manager, and "The Legend of Chu Qiao" was also brought into Mitao..."

"Isn't this normal, "Pan Jinlian" was also brought into Dongyang Media by Du Yang!"

Brother Song smiled: "Don't worry, the next thing is very exciting!"

Wang Songyao, one of Cijia's shareholders, said that she had no idea that the project "The Legend of Chu Qiao" had been taken away. Subsequently, she put Ciwen, Keton, Syndicate, Mitao, Liu Miao...... I sent a lawyer's letter in one go! I even went to court!"

"In other words, "The Biography of Chu Qiao" is a typical case of a major shareholder hurting a small shareholder!"

“… This can't be said that "Chu Qiao" must be a bad movie!"

Zhang Junsheng glanced at Brother Song, who continued: "I'm going to talk about this word again: gambling agreement!"

"In 2015, Ciwen went public through the backdoor listing of Hexin shares and signed the "Profit Forecast Compensation Agreement", which is what we often call a VAM agreement. Ciwen promises: net profit in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 will not be less than 188 million yuan, 243 million yuan, 302 million yuan and 322 million yuan. Ciwen's net profit in 2012 and 2013 was only 67 million and 71 million respectively. This means that within two or three years, it must make 2-3 times more money!"

"Fortunately, with God's favor, in 2015, just the drama "Flower Thousand Bone" brought Ciwen an income of 60 million!"

"Isn't that our drama?"

"Ciwen is also involved!"

Zhang Junsheng shook his head: "... I don't know... The TV series has always been in charge of Brother Song..."

"No way, the Media Group asked for it!"

Liu Sisi said: "Go on!"

Brother Song coughed: "In the past few years, the combination of 'big IP + first-line small students + small flowers who can make money' has become popular in the circle, and in Ciwen's eyes, "The Legend of Chu Qiao" belongs to this type! So Ciwen signed an agreement with Keton to invest 120 million, accounting for 60% of the investment in "The Legend of Chu Qiao", and became the main controller of the project. The project is in hand, but the problem also comes: Cijia and Mitao are both new companies, and they have never done TV dramas before...Liu Miao, the producer of "The Legend of Chu Qiao", was a director of film purchase at a TV station before he took up his post at Keton, and he has no experience in TV drama production. So to a certain extent, compared with the professional TV drama production team, "The Legend of Chu Qiao" is not only a grass stage team, but also similar to a novice testing the waters. ”

“… Why is such an important project for novices?"

Brother Song didn't reveal much: "Don't ask why, I can tell you that this drama has been sold at the beginning of the project! And the premiere time is stipulated, if it can't be screened in time, the TV station will definitely withdraw its fund... So, the three teams took turns to shoot, non-stop..."

Zhao Liying also reacted: "... I said, why is it so urgent, I didn't even have time to memorize the script, so I let it shoot!"

Brother Song shrugged: "After Sister Mei knew about this situation, she directly found me, and then we fished you out together!"

Liu Sisi was quite interested: "... Who did they go to?"

"I don't know, it's probably Liang Fan or Tang Tianbao!"

"I said how they hacked us!"

Zhang Junsheng pursed his lips disdainfully...

Half a year ago, "The Wandering Earth" was hacked, including Ciwen Media, at that time, Zhang Junsheng still thought that Ciwen Media was mainly engaged in TV series, and there was no contradiction with Yuehua...

"Hey, hey... Recently scolded "Lonely Fang Doesn't Appreciate Yourself", Keton is also the producer. ”

Brother Song smiled very thief...

"Isn't that a project of Great Aim of the People's Republic of China?"

“… Watts Keton, a new company jointly funded by Great Aim and Ketton!"

"I heard that when I was filming this scene, Tang Tianbao was pregnant? Is it true?"

"Is it true that 80 million is paid?"

Zhang Junsheng couldn't help it: "... Why are you gossiping so much?" turned his head and looked at Brother Song: "Is it true?"

"Ahem... It's true, it's 80 million, it's not a lot!"
