Chapter 531, a big IP partnership!
"Dada......"
The sound was not the blue light Gatling, but the speedboat that finally left Ezhou Island, the motor rumbled, and Li Zhifan and the others laughed and shouted happily.
Looking at the PD who followed behind, Li Zhifan shouted at them: "Hey, let's compare, who will arrive first!"
"You're shameless!"
Zhou Shilei smiled, "We set off before others, haha, but I like it!"
The boat that followed the PDs was not only far away, but the motors of the two boats were also loud, and Li Zhifan's shouts could not be heard at all, only his waving posture could be seen.
It was only a few minutes before the six of them finally approached the ship.
There were already people waiting on the boat, although they didn't expect Li Zhifan and the six of them to come over so quickly, but they still pulled them up when they should have been on the boat.
"It's finally up!"
As soon as Wang Yue got on the boat, he began to search, "Where is Huang Tianhai?"
"Director Huang is not on the ship!"
The staff replied truthfully, "He is waiting for us on the other side!"
"What an old fox!"
Wang Yue said, his eyes rolled around, and asked, "What about the food prepared for us?"
"Eat?" Several crew members looked at each other, not understanding what he was saying.
Wang Yue pretended to be very angry and said, "Don't pretend! Director Huang said that as long as we get on the boat, there will be a delicious meal for us to enjoy, why was it swallowed by you alone?"
"No, no!"
The crew waved their hands again and again, "We definitely didn't have it alone!"
"Where did you go?" Zhou Shilei also got on the boat at this time, and came over to question.
Several crew members looked innocent and said: "Director Huang didn't tell us to arrange any big meal at all, we still have some drinks and fruits now, if you want to eat something, we can arrange a chef to make it for you." ”
"That's fine!"
Zhou Shilei said directly, "Serve drinks and fruits first, and then call your chef over, and we will order." ”
As he spoke, Wang Yue took out the money he had earned from performing on the island just now - there were only five hundred left.
He handed the money to a few crew members and said, "Let's pay the deposit first, and the rest will be on the shore in a while, you ask Huang Dao, by the way, don't drive the boat yet, let's enjoy the beautiful scenery on the river!"
"Okay, let's go this way!"
These crew members are all from the shipping company, but they are not from the program team, so they naturally don't know the secrets between the program team and the six members of the men's gang, and if they were replaced by the staff of the program team, they would definitely not treat them like this.
And Li Zhifan and the others thought they were from the program group at first, but when they learned their true identities, their attitudes towards them naturally changed a lot, plus they served the six people politely and tremblingly, and they were really embarrassed to ask for anything.
While everyone was eating and drinking, Wang Yue suddenly asked a question: "A few people, there are no outsiders now, let's talk! How did you sign your contract?"
"Contract?"
Fu Biao smiled, "Isn't it a normal variety show contract?" But in terms of price, I am definitely not as high as a few brothers." ”
"I didn't mean that!"
Wang Yue said, "You have all read the details of the contract, right? I am talking about the responsibility of the program team, we want to make a movie, you all know it, right?"
"I know!" Zhou Shilei immediately said, "I have carefully read the content of the contract, it seems that in addition to recording the show, there is also a bundle project, that is, what variety show movie do we want to make with them!
"Isn't it true that the program team will shoot after recording?"
Sun Youbin said, "My agent asked, it seems that filming will not start until the end of the year." ”
The proposal for variety show movies was put forward by Li Zhifan, in this world, there is no such thing as a variety show movie, although the hosting team of some programs has collectively participated in the shooting of some movies, but they are not the leading actors, and the movie names are not close to their programs, so naturally they cannot be called variety show movies.
Li Zhifan felt that the variety show movie of the original "Extreme Challenge" was very bad, so although he put forward this opinion, he did not think of copying the original "Extreme Challenge: Royal Treasure", but chose another movie.
It's just that Mango Channel's attention is not high, in their opinion, this variety show movie is like a 120-minute "Extreme Challenge" drama, although it is not a problem to be on the big screen, but the distance from the "movie" is actually very far.
"I've got some insiders!"
Li Zhifan opened his mouth and said, "Do you want to hear it?"
"Of course, hurry up!"
"That's it, what do you know? Don't sell it!"
Seeing everyone's eagerness, Li Zhifan smiled and said: "Before I say it, I'll lay the groundwork first, brothers, you are all the leading figures in China's performance industry, when it comes to acting skills, you won't be bad, then when it comes to taking the script, you will definitely investigate it, right?"
"That's for sure!"
Wang Yue said confidently, "I won't shoot bad movies, and no matter how much money I give, I won't shoot them!"
"Don't talk about bad movies, I take on one movie and TV series every year, and I won't accept scripts that are a little lower!"
Zhou Shilei is even more bullish, and the tone in which he said this is also very indifferent, which is completely different from the giggling when he recorded the show before.
"That's right!"
Li Zhifan patted his knees, but frowned again, "But the variety shows bundled in our contract are different from the films we usually shoot, according to director Li Rui, the station just wants to plan a challenge task together, and then we will complete it, which is equivalent to a variety show, but in the end it was made into a movie." ”
"This is quite fresh!" Zhou Shilei did not resist, perhaps because he had been recording the show in the past few days, he had become accustomed to this atmosphere, "I haven't heard of the name variety show yet." ”
"Zhifan, when you say that, I understand a little!"
Wang Yue disagreed, "You mean to make a variety show into a movie and release it in theaters? Isn't this messing? Movies are an art of lens language, and reality shows are TV art, how can they be mixed up?"
"What's not to do then!"
Zhou Shilei retorted, "If you haven't filmed it, do you know it's not suitable? You haven't even read the script given by the station, and you know that it can't work? What if we are innovating? What if this is done, and in the end, we will shoot a series like the American Jason Taman heroes?"
"Although American blockbusters are technologically advanced, the artistic content of those hero films is not necessarily high, it is completely the success of the technocratic and technological schools, do those CG movies need acting skills? I won't shoot them anyway!"
“……”
Seeing that the two almost quarreled, and even Sun Youbin, Wang Ye and Fu Biao didn't dare to say anything, Li Zhifan stood up and interrupted the two: "Two brothers, okay! I'll say something here, if you really hand over this movie to Mango TV to shoot, you will definitely regret what you shoot, and netizens will also complain and scold, do you believe it or not?"
Wang Yue said: "I believe!"
Zhou Shilei pouted: "Not necessarily!"
Li Zhifan said step by step: "Then I won't discuss this first, let's talk about my thoughts, this contract has been signed, this big movie must be made, and if you don't shoot it, it's a breach of contract, right?"
Wang Yue and Zhou Shilei nodded at the same time, and even Sun Youbin and the three followed.
Li Zhifan said in passing: "In this case, we might as well talk to them, leave this case to us ourselves, we will produce our own scripts, build our own crew, and even attract investment by ourselves, and we will share the box office by ourselves at that time, how about it?"
"This ......"
The five of them glanced at each other, then looked at Li Zhifan in unison, and asked in unison, "Do you have an idea?"
"Yes!"
Li Zhifan said truthfully, "After these few days of recording, I have a story in my mind, according to this story, I want to make an all-man play, and I plan to write it when I go back, Brother Ye is the screenwriter, please help correct it when the time comes, and then ask a few people to give advice, if it is feasible, we will start filming, how about it?"
The five looked at each other again, and then looked at Li Zhifan together, waiting for him to continue.
Li Zhifan picked up a drink, stood up and said like a commander-in-chief: "Now doing film and television dramas, they are all doing it with IP, and if the IP of "Extreme Challenge" is done well, many things can be derived, but the core is still the six of us. If there is a good story that can attract investment, then the six of us can set up a company together with Mango Channel, specializing in the IP film and television of "Extremely Picky", and when we make money, we will go through the company's account. Raise financing in the early stage, start filming when you have enough money, and even we can take variety shows and absorb them into the company, make more money, and produce more series of derivative works. ”
In fact, variety shows derive movies, which are very good IP projects, just like American superhero series, etc., which can be a huge system or a separate side story.
The film and television market is Vanity Fair, making money or gaining fame, are the two things that people who enter this Vanity Fair are most eager for.
Li Zhifan's idea seems to have been shared a lot of his own interests, but once the IP project is established, it is money, and the assets that are integrated belong to this IP, in other words, it belongs to them, and the appeal of one person is definitely not as good as the appeal of six people.
Wang Yue and others are not easy to satisfy, and they are very ambitious.
After listening to Li Zhifan's plan, he stood up and said: "In this way, each of us can tell a story under the IP of "Extreme Challenge", and all six of us can be directors and starring actors, right?"
"Of course!"
Li Zhifan said, "In this way, we are a collective, we make full use of this IP, and we can do more things we want to do within the IP!"
"Then the IP belongs to Mango Channel?"
Zhou Shilei worried, "What if he doesn't cooperate with us?"
Li Zhifan said with a smile: "This IP not only belongs to Mango Channel, our timeline is also in this project, but it stands 60% of the timeline, and it is not a secret, the director Li Rui is the person of our timeline." ”
After hearing this, the five people were all stunned, and looked at Li Zhifan incredulously.
"So...... This show is equivalent to you?"
"Then don't you know what we do?"
"Then I'm better, you can cooperate with Mango TV to develop this IP, why do you want to pull the five of us into the game?"
"Yes, aren't you sacrificing yourself, or are you having some kind of conspiracy?"
“……”
A bunch of questions came to him, but Li Zhifan smiled and said: "After listening, I will explain to you slowly, first of all, this show is run by Timeline and Mango Channel, I am just a facilitator, but I don't participate in any production in the early stage, I only participate in the recording, so I don't know what challenges the program team designed!"
"Second, as I said before, the six of us are the core of this show, after a few days of getting along, although there is not much time, I believe that we are not only the best brothers, but also the best Partners, and we will work together to maximize the benefits of this IP, isn't it?"
"As for what sacrifice, in fact, it may not be, if it is listed in the future, it will also absorb a large number of shareholders, and it may not be possible to get more benefits than holding it in my hands alone. ”
After listening to Li Zhifan's words, the five of them all ignited a fire.
Undoubtedly, the big cake painted by Li Zhifan is very tempting to them.
But they also have concerns, what if it folds?
A lot of IPs are made in the front, and then they fall, and good IPs are also rotten.
They didn't want the "Extreme Challenge" sign to be like this.
Li Zhifan saw their hesitation, so he asked: "Don't you even have the courage to try it?" It doesn't cost much money to set up a company, and our investment is just a movie to test the waters in the early stage.
After pondering for a while, Sun Youbin was the first to stand up and support Li Zhifan: "I'm following, anyway, I'm a comedian, what the future looks like, I sometimes can't see clearly, it's better to follow Zhifan's Idea, at least I won't regret it in the future!"
Fu Biao also followed: "I'm young, I have time to fall to get up and start over, and I follow!"
Wang Yue, Wang Ye and Zhou Shilei glanced at each other, and Wang Ye said first: "You two say it first, let me think about it again, the main thing is that I don't have much money now, if it is broken, what will happen to my wife and children? Alas! When a man reaches my age, he really has to think about it." ”
Zhou Shilei said frankly: "I also followed, I have invested in a lot of projects over the years, and I have lost a lot, Zhifan has said, try the water first, and didn't let us gamble our lives, right?"
"Then I'll follow!"
Wang Yue said, "Zhifan, let's make an agreement when we go back, and you can talk to them over there at Mango Terrace! I'll find someone to set up a company, by the way, let's come up with a name? What is the name of the company?"
"I've thought about it a long time ago!" Li Zhifan said with a smile, "How about a man!"
"Men help, men help ......"
Wang Yue muttered a few times, nodded and said, "Yes, eh? This name won't be what you thought of for the program team, right?"
"Haha, I was seen through by Brother Yue!"
Li Zhifan smiled and said, "So the man helps the intellectual property rights of this trademark, and in my place, you can rest assured and boldly use him to set up a company!"
