Chapter 134: Meeting Ancient Song
Although the women's group training class was promoted by Tang Song, Tang Song did not plan to participate in the usual training except for Wang Yang and Chen Fei, mainly because he was afraid of having feelings with the students, and he would not be able to open his mouth when he eliminated others in the future. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis reason is very legitimate, and Tang Song really can't help, so the other three teachers don't have any opinions.
After settling down the training class of the women's group, Tang Song's life is back on track again, because "Langya Bang" has ended, Tang and Song have more spare time, but Tang Song has not been idle, just took advantage of this time to learn music theory with Wang Yang, he knows a few musical instruments, especially the piano level is quite high, so music theory is very fast, and he quickly mastered the basic knowledge of music theory, and it takes a long time to accumulate if he wants to further improve.
"Teacher Tang, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Gu Ge appeared in front of Tang Song with a mask and big sunglasses.
"Gu Ge?" because he had been contacted by phone before, although Gu Ge was very tightly packaged, Tang Song still reacted immediately, "Let's talk in another place." ”
There are many students near Jiangnan University, and once Gu Ge's identity is exposed, it will inevitably cause big trouble, so Tang Song simply took Gu Ge and his agent back to his dormitory.
"Just sit down, the dormitory is messy, please don't mind. Tang Song poured a cup of boiling water for the two of them, "I don't like to drink tea very much, so I don't have boiled water at home, and the hospitality is not good!"
"Teacher Tang, you're welcome, let's just talk to boiled water. Gu Ge took off his mask and sunglasses, took the initiative to take the water cup handed over by Tang Song, and then said, "This time Tang suddenly came, mainly to buy the film and television adaptation rights of the novel "Langya Bang" from Mr. Tang, I don't know what you think about it, Mr. Tang?"
Gu Ge set up his own film and television studio last year, and then invested in two TV series, the ratings were very bad, which made him lose a lot of money, this time he plans to adapt Tang and Song's "Langya Bang", in addition to the novel itself really makes him like it, but also has the mentality of fighting to the death and fighting a turnaround, otherwise he would not have personally come to talk about copyright acquisition.
"I don't know what kind of price you offer?" Tang Song asked with a smile.
"The price of the film and television adaptation rights of the novel is generally related to the IP, that is to say, the more well-known the novel, the more valuable it is, and the IP ...... of "Langya Bang" Gu Ge smiled awkwardly.
""Langya Bang" really doesn't have many readers, so there's nothing taboo about this. Tang Song smiled and shook his head.
The price of film and television adaptation rights of novels fluctuates greatly, with cheap tens of thousands and tens of millions of expensive novels, and the price is mainly related to the popularity of the novel and the number of readers.
"Mr. Tang, in fact, this time, I also want to ask you to be the screenwriter, for which our studio is willing to pay 5,000 yuan per episode, I don't know what Mr. Tang thinks?"
The salary of 5,000 yuan per episode is considered an upper-middle price in the screenwriter circle, "Langya Bang" has a total of 54 episodes, and Tang and Song can get 270,000 yuan according to 5,000 yuan per episode, if Tang and Song are fully invested, they can get it within a month, and this remuneration is still very attractive to Tang and Song.
"Langya Bang" was a great success in the previous life, but in this world, whether it can still be as popular as the previous life when it is filmed by the studio of Gu Ge, Tang and Song have no score in their hearts, after all, "Langya Bang" is pounced on in this world and can no longer be pounced.
"I would venture to ask, how much money are you going to invest in filming this TV series?" Tang Song asked.
The investment of Gu Ge determines the quality of the filming of the TV series, if it is a big investment, then it doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss in the copyright transfer fee, at least it will not bury the novel, if the investment is too small, then even if Tang Song is given a higher remuneration, Tang Song will definitely not agree.
"Mr. Tang, to be honest, the current economic situation of our studio is very unsatisfactory, and we can only come up with four million. Gu Ge was slightly embarrassed, and when he saw Tang Song frowning, he immediately added, "However, we have contacted eight film and television companies to participate in the investment, and we are confident that we can raise 30 million shooting funds." ”
In the previous life, "Langya Bang" invested 110 million yuan, and finally sold it at a price of 6 million per episode, which not only recovered the cost, but also made a lot of money. Tang Song didn't expect Guge Studio to invest 110 million yuan to shoot this TV series, but the investment of 30 million still made Tang Song slightly disappointed.
"This novel is adapted into a TV series of about 50 episodes, if it is an investment of 30 million, the average is only 600,000 yuan per episode, and to be honest, this money can barely pay your salary. Tang Song smiled and shook his head.
Gu Ge's current salary is about 550,000 yuan per episode, which is a well-known price in the industry, he wants to play the male protagonist Mei Changsu, and the investment of 30 million yuan is enough for his salary. Coupled with other actors and crew members, the investment of 30 million is not enough to even open the salary, let alone make a TV series.
"Mr. Tang, our film and television studio is currently in a very bad situation, to be honest, if it fails again this time, the studio will go bankrupt and dissolve!" Gu Ge said with a wry smile, "This is the last fight of our studio, my salary will be added as the investment of our studio, if you consider my salary, then the investment of our studio is as high as about 35 million, plus the investment of other film and television companies, the investment of the entire TV series is as high as 60 million!"
After Gu Ge's explanation, Tang and Song finally understood that if Gu Ge Film and Television Studio only invested four million, then no matter how much money this TV series could earn in the end, Gu Ge Film and Television Studio would also get one-tenth, but if Gu Ge's salary is also counted as an investment, Gu Ge Film and Television Studio will account for more than 50% of the entire TV series, playing a leading role, and it is good for the stars to be investors and make movies.
"If that's the case, it's pretty much the same. Tang Song nodded, if the investment of 30 million does not include the salary of Gu Ge, then the operability of the TV series is still very strong.
"Because it is a costume drama, it may cost a lot of money in the layout of props and scenes, and I am afraid that most of the investment of 30 million yuan will be invested in the production of costumes and props, how do you think about the remuneration of other actors?" Tang Song asked again.
"The funds are limited, so I can only use newcomers, and I will also use my connections to find some friends to make cameos, and the salaries of other actors should not be too high. "Gu Ge has obviously seriously considered this aspect.
Tang Song asked a few more detailed questions, and Gu Ge was very well prepared, and although the answers given could not make Tang Song completely satisfied, they were barely acceptable.
"In principle, I agree to cooperate with you, but I would like to mention a few other conditions......
