Chapter 521 What?The sitcom Actually Needs Five Million?
The reason why "Growing Pains" attracted people's attention at the beginning.
Not for anything else, just because the script of "The Trouble of Becoming a Talent" is too exciting, Ding Li has made some improvements on the basis of the original script.
He set the male protagonist in the script as a Chinese, with a woman, a man and two children, the woman is big and the man is small. The heroine, that is, the stepmother character, Ding Li set it as a person from the United States, also with a son.
The plot after that is basically a detailed description of the daily life of the family after the two get married, but this description is different from the trivial things in other sitcoms, whether it is the content conception, or the plot, or the character building, all of them are unexpected, but unexpectedly, there is an inexplicable truth.
To put it bluntly, it is close to life, which makes everyone who watches have a kind of resonance with the script.
In other words, the viewer brings themselves into that scene.
Dozens of minutes later, after all these people had finished reading the script, Ding Li asked them, "Everyone, you have read the script, what do you think?" ”
"It's a sitcom. After Niu Niu said this, she paused, and then changed her tone and expressed her support for Dongshen TV's filming of the sitcom, "I think it was going to be filmed, who let it be proposed by our big station director himself." ”
"Yes, yes, sitcoms should be filmed, and they should be prepared now. ”
"Director Ding, how much do you plan to invest in this "Growing Pains" sitcom?" asked, the director of Dongshen TV Station in charge of finance, "Our financial department can also make financial budgets." ”
Ding Li pretended to be mysterious and raised five fingers.
He meant five million dollars.
As a result, the financial director misunderstood Ding Li's meaning, and he thought that this sitcom called "Growing Pains" needed 500,000 US dollars.
You must know that the entire American country, whether it is a big TV station or a small TV station, the cost of their investment in sitcoms will not exceed 500,000 US dollars.
The only difference is in the number of episodes.
The big TV stations are well-made, the number of sitcom episodes is small, the short ones are more than ten episodes, the long ones are more than 20 episodes, and if the ratings are good and the audience responds well, they will continue to invest 500,000 US dollars to shoot sitcoms with similar themes.
Small TV stations are just the opposite of big TV stations, their sitcoms are crudely produced, and the number of episodes is large, more than 50 short episodes, 70 or 80 long episodes, and even more than 100 episodes.
Like big TV, if the sitcom has a good response and the audience likes it, they will continue to invest in filming.
If the response hits the street and the audience doesn't like it, they will shoot sitcoms with other themes.
Since the cost of investing in sitcoms for both big and small TV stations does not exceed 500,000 US dollars, the sitcoms of the United States also have the nickname of 500,000 US dollar TV series.
Perhaps it is because this is not a law that the financial director of Dongshen TV will realize that Ding Li is wrong.
The financial director blurted out without thinking: "Director Ding, don't worry, I will ask people to allocate the 500,000 US dollars of shooting funds tomorrow and transfer them to your specially set up account." ”
"Not enough. ”
"That's 600,000 dollars. Hearing that Ding Li said not enough words, the financial director thought twice and added another 100,000 US dollars.
After all, it was something that the director decided to shoot, so he added an extra 100,000 US dollars to the budget, but he didn't expect Ding Li to still shake his head after listening to his answer, and said not enough words, this time he added a return word in front, "It's not enough." ”
Hearing that Ding Li's budget of 600,000 US dollars was not enough, those people present were stunned.
In their hearts, a sitcom with 500,000 US dollars is the sky, because other TV stations do this, it's just a few episodes.
didn't expect Ding Li to ......
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Ding Li simply stopped selling Guanzi, he slowly gave the number in his mind, "Okay, don't be funny with you, the number I just said is not 500,000 US dollars, nor 600,000 US dollars, but 5 million US dollars." "Growing Pains" is a sitcom, and I decided to invest 5 million US dollars to shoot it. ”
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
But everyone in the house who heard Ding Li's words was stunned to bring a fryer.
What the?
Five million dollars?
Why did the sitcom, which originally only needed to invest 500,000 US dollars, actually invest 5 million US dollars this time?
You can't be so bad if you have money.
Besides, Dongshen TV has no money, and the naming fee of 100 million and 100 million US dollars delivered by Jinluo Ham and Sausage Company has been almost spent.
Now there are almost more than 10 million dollars in the account.
The money will be held on until next month.
"Director Ding, aren't you kidding?" Niuniu is the backbone of everyone in the house, and in the face of Ding Li's five million dollars to shoot a sitcom, she was the first to ask: "Five million dollars can shoot a good TV series." ”
"Do you think I'm joking?" Ding Li asked rhetorically.
"Director Ding, the investment in filming sitcoms in a big country in the United States has never exceeded 500,000 US dollars, and we are now investing 5 million US dollars to shoot sitcoms, is it ......?"
"Alright, that's it. As the boss, Ding Li was rare and domineering, and he gave this matter as the boss of Dongshen TV.
There are no secrets in the entertainment industry.
So when the Dongshen TV sitcom program was established, it was known to those entertainment reporters who had a keen sense of smell.
Immediately after that, these reporters opened their minds and reported on the incident according to their own imagination.
