Chapter 85: Big Rewards in the TV Series
Fang Siyi became a little interested, and asked with a smile, "How much?"
"Three million costs, I can sell this number!" stretched out his hand and raised two fingers.
Fang Siyi was stunned, a little surprised.
"Two million soft girl coins, tsk, it's really a lot. ”
Don't think that a TV series costs five million and sells two million is a loss, you know, this is just a premiere!
In this era, the premiere TV series is the least valuable, but if the ratings and word-of-mouth explode, then the replay can definitely sell an astronomical amount!
Let's just say that "Wulin Gaiden", the investment in the entire TV series is less than 3 million, but how much has been sold in total?
A conservative estimate is more than 50 million!
What is the return on investment?
More than ten times!
Obviously, this money is earned from selling replays!
"Two million soft girl coins? Director Shen smiled and said with some disdain: "It's two million American knives!"
"Multi-...... How much?" Fang Siyi was a little confused, "No...... Impossible, right?"
At the current exchange rate, two million US dollars is equivalent to soft sister coins, which is 16 million!
Isn't that a joke?
I have also experienced this period of time in my dreams, but none of the TV series is said to be so profitable?
However, when Director Shen said something more specific, Fang Siyi completely understood the reason.
"Siyi, you are not an outsider, Brother Shen will have a relationship with you. Director Shen thought for a while and asked seriously: "I heard that you participated in the on-site filming of "Wulin Gaiden" before?"
"Well, I was fortunate to be an assistant to the director and studied with Director Shang for a while. "It's not a secret, so Fang Siyi has nothing to hide.
"That's easy to say, you see, Director Shang, although he is very famous in the industry, but in fact, he is limited by his own identity, so he has almost no honor on his body, you know this, right?"
"Hmm. ”
"And I'm different. Shen Yan pointed to himself and said with a smile: "Anyway, brother, I am also a double top ten director, this award may not be very famous, but in terms of professionalism, this award is recognized in the industry! What does that mean? It means that if I really want to make a fortune and leave now, a five-million-dollar TV series, just with my name Shen Yan, can be sold for 10 million even with the first broadcast and replay! If you pull in a few more acting schools and use some favors or something, at least it will start with fifteen million! How much does it cost? The cost is only one-third! ”
Fang Siyi gasped.
Indeed, in terms of frequency, expressiveness or cycle, TV series are indeed not as fast as movies, but in fact, an artist's income, or the main income, is not the salary, the salary only accounts for a part, but the real majority is advertising revenue!
But......
What if a director is known as a "fast gunman"?
In Fang Siyi's memory, there seems to be such a special director.
People don't care what their works are shooting, and the pod score is also five or six points of Yishui, but the key is that people shoot fast!
How fast is it?
Four films can be made in a year!
And none of them are said to have lost money!
You must know that even if the difficulty of filming a TV series is relatively low, the speed of shooting a TV series in an average of three months is ......
The whole crew is like a continuous rotation, and when they enter the crew, the hero and heroine don't react, and their roles are finished.
It's ......
However, because of this, this director is also nicknamed the "king of bad dramas" in the mainland.
However, almost all of the people used by people are newcomers, and in just ten years, a full ten popular Xiaohuadan and Xiaosheng have been delivered to the entire circle!
It is conceivable that people are very popular!
It's just that every work is basically accompanied by controversy, accompanied by topicality, and is also a god man.
Movies are indeed very profitable, this is true, but in today's era, even if you make a movie, you can't find a theater to release it!
What the?
Cinemas?
Theaters are all battlefields for those big directors, and the only thing newcomers can fight for is some non-famous schedules.
For example, today's Spring Festival stalls, such as today's April.
Now is not the time when a hundred flowers bloom in later generations, in this era, people's habit of the Spring Festival every year is to sit in front of the TV and eat a reunion dinner to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
But TV stations are different.
China has a vast territory, not to mention the first- and second-tier cities, but what about the third- and fourth-tier cities?
These cities also have television stations.
And with a TV station, there is naturally a demand for broadcasting.
But in this era, although there is not as much attention to copyright as later generations, most of the third- and fourth-tier cities that want to broadcast TV series are the kind of TV series that have been broadcast for a long time I don't know how many years ago.
For example, Fang Siyi still remembers that in 04, he was able to see "Addictive" on the local TV station in Langfang.
You know, it was a TV series that premiered at the end of 92!
It's still being replayed after 12 years!
Although it only has eight episodes, its influence has endured.
"But what about ......" Director Shen said with a smile: "It's really in my current position, what ratings, what interests are floating clouds, what really makes me care is fame! Fortunately, my first work has a good response, and it can be regarded as a good start, but it is difficult to continue!"
"So Director Shen took a fancy to my novel?" Fang Siyi asked with a smile.
"That's right, although I'm also very curious, why you, a writer who obviously writes pure love romance essays, would write such realistic works, but the novel is yours, and I naturally came to you. ”
"That'...... When is Director Shen going to shoot?" Fang Siyi asked a more practical question.
Speaking of this, Shen Yan was a little embarrassed.
"What's the matter?" Fang Siyi was a little surprised.
"That...... I recently received a notebook.,So...... This TV series of yours, no matter how fast I am, I will have to wait until the end of the year. ”
"Year-end?" Fang Siyi's brows furrowed, "Can't you advance it?"
"You have been an assistant director, you should know that a TV series is probably composed of three periods, pre-production, shooting and post-production, of course, in our China, there is still a review, only after these four procedures, it can be released, and plus the schedule or something, even if it is the fastest, it will have to wait until the end of the year. Shen Yan explained helplessly.
"That's it......" hesitated a little, but Fang Siyi didn't want to ask much.
Although I really want to know what the drama is, it is obvious that this is not suitable to ask.
Since it can't be released in a short period of time, Fang Siyi naturally won't stay for long.
As soon as he got home in the evening, Ma Sichun called in person.
