Chapter 590: The Conscience of the Capitalists
Zhang Chu has not paid attention to the film and television industry for a long time, and now he is completely unfamiliar with these companies, even if he is a veteran of gossip in the entertainment industry, he pays attention to most of the stars and works, and rarely pays attention to film and television companies.
After all, everyone watches a TV series, and they rarely pay attention to who made the TV series!
Among so many companies, Zhang Chu is more familiar with the Tang people, so he asked: "How is the Tang people, I seem to remember that the company is not bad." ”
It's time to expose his age, Zhang Chu was a loyal fan of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" on the earth, and when the plot is good, he also met an actor with such a high appearance, of course he has to be a fan!
In addition to this TV series, there are also costume TV series such as "Flying Immortals Outside the Sky", "Young Yang Jiajiang", "Strange Man Yizhimei", etc., which are burned into classics in the hearts of a generation of children.
To this day, he is still active in the tear-jerking videos of memories mixed with all kinds of rice for a long time, so Zhang Chu subconsciously asked.
However, Ye Shumei's words made him a little surprised, "Now the Tang people are no longer the Tang people they used to be, they are not in a state at all, and all the works in recent years have poor reviews, and they don't even have a sense of existence." I don't know, I thought their company wouldn't make TV series anymore!"
"In this way, we have actually entered a development dilemma. ”
Zhang Chu still has some regrets, if such a company that accompanied his adolescent growth goes bankrupt, maybe everyone will miss it at station B in the future.
Ye Shumei did a detailed investigation before calling, and there was clear data on her computer showing the average ratings and Douban ratings of the TV series produced by these film and television companies in the past five years, which can be seen clearly in the most direct way.
"The Tang people can only be said to be emaciated camels, their reputation has declined very obviously, the excellent line score of Douban domestic TV dramas is generally based on 8 points, in recent years, the Tang people have started a ten-meter diving platform-like rapid diving, most of the repertoire is below 7 points, and some even fell to 4 points, and the ratings also followed the dive. ”
"This really doesn't seem like a good choice, so which one is the most suitable for your survey?"
Zhang Chu is too lazy to use his brain, it's enough to worry about "The Da Vinci Code" now, and there is no need to add more things to it!
"Now the more reliable is Ciwen, the ratings of their hit dramas are quite good, and the reputation is still online. "Sou Shen Ji" is a fantasy drama, and it must have sufficient financial support, although Noon Sunshine has a good reputation, it is impossible for all the funds to be smashed into a TV series. ”
Ye Shumei added at this time: "At the same time, Ciwen is also the first batch of film and television companies to hoard IP copyrights, so the price they gave was 15 million to buy for 5 years. ”
"This price is a bit low, they are now selling TV series to TV stations, and they can sell one or two million yuan per episode, not to mention the right to broadcast online. My copyright fee is not as much as their money for an episode of the TV series, so it's a little unreasonable!" Zhang Chu poked the dishes on the plate with chopsticks, feeling as if he had been neglected!
"Whether it's 15 million yuan, you can still enjoy 5% of the income from the first round of broadcasting rights, and now these film and television companies know that you will not directly use cash transactions, and most of them have taken out income dividends as incentives. ”
Zhang Chu has also been in contact with many different companies now, and couldn't help but laugh after hearing the income dividends, "Sister Ye, you must not fall into their pit." How much of this income is not the film and television company's own accounting, these bastards can make the income negative in minutes, and when the TV series becomes popular, I may have to put the money into it!"
"This shouldn't be enough, but Ciwen is also a listed company, if you really dare to do this financial statement, those shareholders and shareholders will not have an opinion?"
"Don't think too highly of the conscience of the capitalists. In this way, Sister Ye, you first terminate with these companies and see what kind of conditions they can give. I don't have high requirements for copyright fees, but I must have veto power over the cast and crew, and I don't want any cutout actors in the TV series. ”
Nowadays, there are not many domestic TV dramas, and the actors obviously have acting skills, but they are basically dedicated to variety shows or award ceremonies, and they are rarely used in TV dramas.
"Sou Shen Ji" is an excellent work, Zhang Chu can tolerate the appearance of some actors who go through the back door, but the premise is that these actors must have qualified acting skills and appropriate appearance!
If there is any ordinary actor to play the peerless beauty, it is obviously not good.
Female characters are an important support in "Sou Shen Ji", and Tuoba Ye and Qiao Chiyou must find popular traffic students to play in the eyes of investors, which is conducive to the early publicity and ratings of the TV series.
It is difficult for Zhang Chu to control the decision-making power, and it is still possible to work hard for the veto power and the right to suggest!
If none of these companies can come up with the right conditions, then he would rather put them aside than let them become bad dramas!
Ye Shumei was worried that most of the company was a little idle now, and now she was full of motivation, so she took the initiative to ask: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely communicate well with these companies." ”
"Then I'll leave it to you, if you have something, you can send me a WeChat or email, and I will take the time to reply after I see it. ”
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Chu looked at the plate in front of him that had been cooled in a daze, this cold food is difficult to swallow, but it seems to be a bit too wasteful to take it and pour it out.
After some ideological struggle, he decided to walk to the bucket with the plate, there was no need to wronged himself, this kind of thing didn't happen on purpose!
The canteen was already overcrowded at this time, Zhang Chu didn't have the heart to buy food anymore, he walked towards the outside of the canteen with a bag on his shoulder, ready to go to the supermarket to buy milk and bread.
A few minutes later, Zhang Chu sat on the green bench with bread in his hand and began to eat, thinking about the TV series of "Sou Shen Ji" while eating him.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that I can't easily hand over the work, and many TV series producers continue to compress the production time in order to achieve the return of funds as soon as possible!
Not only did it speed up during shooting, but it was also in a hurry during post-production, and there were a lot of situations, such as some actors who played rival scenes but didn't see each other, and magical editing and stand-ins plus cutouts completed this.
For fantasy TV series, shooting and production are life, and if you don't have enough time, the visual effects are estimated to be not even five cents!
Think about the huge world of "Sou Shen Ji", it is estimated that it is really enough to change it into several films, which must be done by a really powerful screenwriter.
The current TV drama script is like an assembly line, as if it is very deliberately purposeful drama setting, and that kind of simple energy is gone.
Screenwriters, directors, and producers all want to find resonance with today's young people, but today's young people are not as easy to fool as they were in the nineties or zeros of the last century!
These young people are very advanced and mature, and if you can't find it, it will be funny. The beginning of many dramas is so messy that the audience can't wait for the good parts to abandon the show.
Childish, young, not good-looking, bloody, exaggerated production This is the audience's bad impression of domestic TV series, Zhang Chu wants to make his TV series more careful.
"It's difficult, the environment is broken. ”
After suddenly sighing with such a sentence, Zhang Chu took another bite of bread, and his whole face was sad.
Where is the future of "Sou Shen Ji", he has no bottom in his heart!
……
The news about the TV series did not spread, and now the media is most curious about the filming site of "Farewell My Concubine" and the cast of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
The paparazzi tried all kinds of ways to infiltrate the crew, some disguised as food delivery, some bribed the staff, some had relationships with extras, and some media even applied directly to the crew to visit the class.
But these were intercepted by experienced drama managers, Xu Ji didn't give anyone face at this time, and devoted himself to the filming of the movie, and even deprived the actor of the right to post Weibo, for fear of leaking the crew's affairs!
Obviously, the plot of the movie has been completely exposed by Zhang Chu's name, but the film crew's fully closed approach has not changed at all.
This has made countless media itch their hearts!
The more you can't see it, the more you want to see it.
On the side of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Yida Pictures' phone calls were about to be blown up by the media, and director Wu Ershan and the three actors' agencies were also very busy.
Due to time constraints, the actors' schedules will not be coordinated until next week, and now the crew is just perfecting the set and props, and they are also annoyed by the mosquito-like buzzing reporters.
The three actors have a lot of ordinary passers-by, and most of them don't have too many black spots, so it's quite harmonious in terms of online public opinion!
It's better to invite them to play than to invite young fresh meat who have returned to China or those young people who can only dye their hair and take selfies.
Whether it is age, acting skills, appearance or popularity, Audio-Technica is basically the best choice that can be given at the moment!
This should actually be regarded as a hot potato, Zhang Chu's works are actually not easy to adapt, the original readership is very large, if the adaptation is not good, the original fans will easily affect the reputation and box office of the movie if they make trouble on the Internet.
There have been several movies that have suffered losses and have been deceived, just because the original fans boycotted, and they were stunned that the movies that the producer had high hopes for were lost or had a small loss.
Many scenes of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" had to be filmed on the spot, and the film crew inspected many places during the summer vacation.
The actual shooting consumes a lot of money, and a crew shoots from south to north, from east to west, which costs all the money in vain!
******************
Recently, I feel that my time schedule is so tight, I go to the gym after taking a lazy nap in the morning, and I plan to take a nap in the afternoon, but the weather is too hot to turn on the air conditioner, and then sleep from half past one to seven o'clock(╥_╥)at night
Now I just got up to catch up with the full attendance, and the coolness of the air conditioner in the summer made me forget how expensive the electricity bill is, and the sin is sinful.
Xiaobao made a grand wish: Next, we must code words well, go up every day, and strive to update!
