Chapter 684: Friendship Price

After the filming of "Underground Transportation Station", after a little editing, Guo Dalu handed it over to the assistants of Tianxi Film and Television and asked them to go to radio and television for review.

Ma Cheng, who got the news, was about to pop out of surprise, "Filmed so fast? This is more than 20 episodes, and it will be filmed in a month? This is almost one episode a day! Guo Ye will not be distracted because of small investment." ”

The filming cost of this drama is scary, and the total cost is less than five million.

You must know that the production cost of each episode of an ordinary TV series is about 8.9 million, and the production cost of a TV series with slightly higher requirements is more than 1 million per episode.

The filming of TV dramas is getting more and more expensive, and high-quality TV dramas all start at 200 million, with an investment of 500 million or 600 million, and people are so rich now.

But Guo Dalu's sitcom turned out to be only five million, which really surprised Ma Cheng, if it was in the hands of other directors, five million would be able to make a small short film.

In this TV series, except for the cameo stars, the rest are little-known actors, and director Guo Dalu appeared on the camera this time, just for casual fun, and did not pay himself.

As for the celebrities who made cameos, who is embarrassed to ask Guo Dalu for money, even if Guo Dalu gives them money, they are embarrassed to ask for it, you must know that most of the actors are popular with Guo Dalu, they just show a few minutes of footage inside, delaying a day at most, if they dare to collect Guo Dalu's money, it is simply crazy.

Such a good thing sold to Guo Dalu's favor, many people can't ask for it.

Therefore, the people who really get paid are all third- and fourth-rate young actors like Yu Deshui who are not well-known or very famous, and the salaries of these actors are not high, and after the whole drama is filmed, one person can share 100,000 yuan at most, and then counting the cost to the crew, five million can't be spent at all, and four million is enough.

Of course, this is not counting Guo Dalu's salary, if Guo Dalu is counted, this film will not be able to get 100 million, because Guo Dalu's current salary is 100 million, and this is still the salary in his own works, when the director outside invited him to play the leading role in the film, the price was 150 million, and Guo Dalu ignored them.

But as long as Guo Dalu is not counted, this TV series only has an investment of five million, which is estimated to be the least investment in the film and television industry today.

It stands to reason that when Guo Dalu's current status is reached, with an investment of less than tens of millions, he will not be moved at all, but this time this "small TV" with an investment of several millions, Guo Dalu is very happy.

This drama was originally a comedy, it was filmed very easily, and the actors were also very relaxed, except for Yu Deshui, the rest of the actors were all from professional backgrounds, and the roles they played were not too complicated, so it was naturally very easy.

After this drama was submitted for review, it was quickly approved, and when it was about to be broadcast on Tianxi Satellite TV, the drama was promoted on the Internet.

In fact, there is no need to vigorously promote it at all, as long as Guo Dalu's name is taken out, this is the best publicity for this play, not to mention that in this play, there is a popular actor in each episode to play a cameo role, just rush this, which is enough to attract the attention of the audience.

Therefore, after the news that "Guo Dalu has a new TV series work released" was released on the Internet, it directly attracted the attention of netizens.

"Nima, why is it a TV series? Or is it an anti-Japanese TV series? Isn't Guo Ye a sci-fi horror movie?"

"Yes, I'm ready to watch Guo Ye's new movie, and now my pants are off, can you show me this?"

"I don't watch anti-Japanese movies anymore now, just like I said before, I won't watch the palace drama in the future, but the oath of not watching the palace drama was broken by Guo Ye, and I don't want this oath not to watch anti-Japanese dramas to be broken by Guo Ye!"

"If this is a real anti-Japanese drama, not an anti-Japanese drama, I think I will be very happy to support Guo Ye, but if even Guo Ye starts filming anti-Japanese dramas, I think our country's film and television industry has collapsed. ”

"You guys are too underestimating Guo Ye, just with his attainments in literature and film and television, will he make an anti-Japanese drama? However, what does this anti-Japanese sitcom written on the Internet mean? Anti-Japanese dramas and comedies?"

"Damn, anti-Japanese comedy, Guo Ye always doesn't play cards according to the routine!"

"As long as it's not a crotch hidden thunder and a devil tearing up, I will contribute to my ratings!"

"Actually, comedy is very good, anti-Japanese dramas are either nonsense or bloody and scary, but the form of comedy is more acceptable to today's audiences. ”

"Good guys, so many celebrities and big names are making cameos in this drama, just to watch fresh, I also have to contribute to the ratings!"

In the discussion of a large number of netizens, this drama was officially broadcast on Tianxi Satellite TV at 8 o'clock in the evening on a certain day, during prime time.

At this time, "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" had just finished broadcasting from Tianxi Satellite TV, and the ratings of a set began to decline significantly, and the script "Bao Qingtian" given to them by Guo Da had just been filmed, and they didn't know when they would get it after filming and broadcasting.

At this time, Guo Dalu's "Underground Traffic Station" just solved their urgent need.

For Guo Dalu's works, now no one in the entire film and television industry dares to underestimate them, not to mention movies, the movies made by this guy have no box office of less than one billion yuan, even if it is a TV series, after each one is filmed, the benefit will be two or three hundred million, because it involves commercial operations such as advertisements on major TV stations, and it can also be exported abroad and sold to several surrounding countries, and the copyright is not cheap.

Overall, the income from filming TV series is definitely not as good as that of movies, but there is no problem for a TV series to make a net profit of two or three billion. This is already a great success, especially since every TV series sells so much, and Guo Dalu's nickname of "Golden Hand in Film and Television" has been confirmed.

Just like Tianxi Satellite TV, which has just finished broadcasting and is now being broadcast on other TV stations, "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", just sold to various TV stations for the broadcast rights, has earned 300 million yuan, not counting the cost of advertising.

A popular TV series, although it is not as good as a good movie's ability to attract money, but the value it creates should not be underestimated, otherwise no investor would rather spend five or six billion yuan to shoot a TV series. If they don't make money, how can they invest so much? How many rich people are fools?

Now that Guo Dalu's "Underground Traffic Station" has invested so little, it is already a sure thing that he will make a profit in the future. Although this TV series was co-filmed by Guo Dalu and Tianxi Film and Television Company, and Tianxi Film and Television Company and Tianxi Satellite TV both belong to Tianxi Group, but their two independent departments are also financially independent, so this drama can also be sold to Tianxi Satellite TV in a way that is preferentially sold, if the price offered by Tianxi Satellite TV is less than Guo Dalu's psychological expectations, then this film will be sold to other TV stations.

For this situation, Tianxi Satellite TV naturally did not dare to offer a low price to Guo Dalu, although it knew that the shooting cost was less than 5 million, but it still offered a price of 25 million and bought the copyright of this drama.

In fact, with Guo Dalu's current fame and the quality of this film, Guo Dalu still feels that the sale is low, which can only be regarded as a friendship price.

You must know that his previous "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" sold for 300 million. Although this sitcom is not as good as "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", it should be no problem to sell 30 million.
