Chapter 328: The TV station came to buy the broadcast rights
Just when Money Day was in a hurry to contact Glorious Film and Television, Jiang Hui and He Ling were running a company and drinking coffee slowly.
"I said, are we almost on the line, anyway, the anger is out," He Ling said to Jiang Hui.
"Why do you have to be almost on the line, Guanghui Group has always been adhering to the principle of harmony and wealth development, but it does not mean that we have to swallow our anger when we encounter anything. Besides, Money Day treats you like that, as your man, can I bear it", Jiang Hui said.
"Actually, he didn't do anything to me, he just had a cheap mouth," He Ling said.
"It's not good to be the cheapest, and there is a price to pay for talking nonsense," Jiang Hui said.
"Whatever you want, I just don't want to get you in trouble because of me," He Ling said. Although she said so, He Ling was still very moved and happy in her heart that Jiang Hui cared about her so much, and felt that she had not seen the wrong person.
On the fourth day of its launch, "Old Boy" exceeded 25 million hits. This number is already higher than the click-through rate of the second to tenth, and even the second to the hundredth movie click-through rate, which completely stunned everyone on the Internet and in the entertainment industry.
Guanghui Film and Zhao Gang, as well as everyone in the Dream Band, quickly became well-known in the film and television industry with one work. Invitations to various commercial performances and catwalks have been given to the Dream Band, but except for a few high-grade activities, the Dream Band basically declined.
The happiest is Zhao Gang, before that, he was just a newcomer in the director circle, not even a third-line director. But after "Old Boy" became popular, his fame increased rapidly, and many first-line film and television companies said that they were cooperating with him, but Zhao Gang refused.
Why did "Old Boy" succeed? People outside thought it was the credit of Zhao Gang and the Dream Band. But Zhao Gang knew very well in his heart that Jiang Hui was the biggest hero behind the scenes. The script of this play, the scenery and precautions of each link, the key points of editing and network promotion, are all planned by Jiang Hui. So although Jiang Hui only has the title of producer and screenwriter in the crew, he is actually the chief director.
In the current film environment of the Celestial Empire, film is the art of the director. A screenwriter is simply a staff member who assists the director in completing the film. A good director in any country will attach importance to the role of screenwriters. But in the domestic environment, the screenwriter does not play a decisive role in the final form of the film.
This is because the filming of film and television dramas in the Celestial Empire implements a director-centered system. The screenwriter has no status in the crew, and the creation of the script is reduced to writing a "proposition composition". The script was changed at will, the development of the industry was deformed, the gunman was bullied, the mediocre screenwriters were able to eat, the income difference was polarized, and the top screenwriters were far inferior to the first-line stars.
The director-centered system establishes a system of creative teams with the director as the core in the whole process of film production. In the film crew, the director has the leadership and command power of artistic creation, and the director has the final ruling power in case of disagreement. The screenwriter-centered system is a production model implemented in the film and television industries of Europe, America and South Korea, that is, in the film and television production process, the screenwriter is the dominant position. The screenwriter-centered system can improve the status quo of low status and low remuneration of screenwriters, but it is still a controversial topic in the film and television industry of the Celestial Empire. This is also the reason why although Jiang Hui is the title of screenwriter in the crew, he is not valued by everyone.
"Jiang Dong, my old leader came to me and said that Imperial Capital TV was interested in buying the broadcast rights of "Old Boy", how do you think I can reply to him", Zhao Gang said.
Satellite TV's purchase of movie copyrights or broadcast rights has always been more optimistic about many people in the industry, especially since online video has only become popular this year, and its influence on the film and television industry has not yet been shown.
Some people in the film industry believe that Satellite TV's purchase of film copyrights has at least made a continuation of the film distribution, and in addition to broadcasting in theaters, there is more space and possibilities.
In fact, foreign TV stations have long done this, like the movie "The Sound of Music", American TV stations will keep repeating it and broadcasting it, and it will be broadcast for decades.
Some people even feel that popular new movies are becoming an important direction for powerful satellite TV film and television procurement, and many TV stations may follow suit in the next step, and then there may be satellite TV and international film companies to try to cooperate in solo broadcasting.
Jiang Hui remembered that a very famous movie "Your Name" in the island country in the later world was once sold for one billion yen of television broadcasting rights, which can be said to have set a new record for television stations to purchase movie broadcasting rights.
"'Old Boy' is just a micro-film, and some TV stations want to buy it?
"There are many ways to buy the copyright directly or buy the broadcast rights, and the broadcast rights can only buy the premiere rights or buy out the broadcast rights for many years," Zhao Gang said.
"The copyright is definitely not for sale, and the right to broadcast can be negotiated, but the authorization cannot be too long, and it is better not to authorize exclusively, preferring to make a little less money," Jiang Hui said.
"Okay, then I'll make an appointment with my colleagues from the marketing and legal departments to meet with them," Zhao said.
"I forgot to mention that one of the preconditions for us to agree to sell the broadcast rights is that Imperial TV cannot make any deletions to the film, and must broadcast it in its entirety, which must be written into the contract," Jiang Hui said.
Now is the time to disgust the modern imperial capital, and Jiang Hui doesn't want to give in for no reason. Although Jiang Hui also knows that as a key enterprise in the imperial city, if "Old Boy" really has an impact on Hyundai's sales, there will definitely be someone from the city government who will come forward, but it is not at this time to compromise.
"Okay, I understand," Zhao Gang said. At the same time, he was also thinking in his heart: It's better not to offend Jiang Hui in the future, although Jiang Hui usually looks very good at talking, but it is also very powerful to remember hatred. However, Jiang Hui's approach of standing up for his company's employees, Zhao Gang recognizes it, and this kind of boss is worth following.
Guanghui Film and Television became an instant hit, in order to let the company continue to attract the attention and joining of industry insiders, Jiang Hui wanted to continue to make a few micro-films. After that, take classic TV series such as "Struggle" and "Imperial Capital Love Story" to shoot, basically Tudou has a charging model to test the waters or expand its advertising business. The choice depends on the situation.
Guanghui Film and Television can start to expand its staff and sign some potential artists, Jiang Hui should be the best at this. Which people can be popular and which people can't, Jiang Hui knows best.
