Chapter 368: Cast a wide net and catch more fish
First of all, it was naturally Ye Qiu's old friend, Wang Dong of Deep Blue TV, and then CCTV also expressed interest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the TV stations are all interested in the TV movie that Ye Qiu and Feng Gang collaborated, in fact, most people in the film industry are not very interested in this TV micro-movie.
The reason is very simple, according to the TV movie made by Ye Qiu and Feng Gang, the whole film is often equivalent to an episode of a TV series, and now Huaguo's TV station buys TV episodes, and the highest episode is currently more than one million.
So even if Ye Qiu and Feng Gang's TV micro-movie, even if it is doubled, it will actually not make much money.
Even if this film is directed by Director Feng Da, even if this is the screen debut of creative master Ye Qiu, even if there are many big-name cameos, this still can't change anything.
Ye Qiu has always been small and big in the past, and he has always been able to create miracles, but this time, neither people in the film industry nor the media are so optimistic about the so-called TV micro-films.
Not to mention the media, even Feng Gang himself just regards this as Ye Qiu's one-time play, after all, don't watch the entire TV micro-movie, the cost is only about two million, but this does not include Feng Gang's director's salary and Ye Qiu's own salary, as well as the script and publicity.
"Three million, plus director Feng Gangda, plus star cameos, at least a small-budget theatrical movie can be made, even if the box office is not ideal after release, but it is definitely more cost-effective than making this so-called TV micro-movie now, it can only be said that Ye Qiu is finally willful. -- Movie Spectacular.
"Ye Qiu has obtained a net worth achievement that others can't get in several lifetimes at the age of a weak crown, the creative master, the king of advertising, he already has too many titles, people can't help but ignore it, in fact, our creative master, the king of advertising, is only 21 years old this year, maybe this time the ticket work is the way to match Ye Qiu's age. - Southern Metropolis Daily.
"Ye Qiu's previous works and investments have a strong sense of purpose, often unexpected, this time, whether he can also make the impossible possible, surprises, or maybe he has finally returned to normal. - Kyoto Entertainment News.
In fact, the cost of this film was not so high, but Ye Qiu, a newcomer, wasted too much time, so the cost of the film increased a lot.
However, there are also people who have a heart to calculate an account for Ye Qiu.
This TV micro-movie, calculated according to the purchase mode of the TV series, will be broadcast in the first round, according to the highest price of the current TV series production, the premium is 50%, then the premiere of this TV micro-film may be able to recover the cost, of course, this does not include the cost of publicity, and other potential value like Feng Gang's director's salary, Ye Qiu's salary, and the friendship cameos of big-name stars.
And if the ratings of TV micro-movies are considerable, then there is still a lot of room for profit.
Of course, the premise is that there are TV stations willing to pay that price, if they follow the CCTV movie channel's film purchase model, then Feng Gang and Ye Qiu's TV micro-film will have limited profit margins.
However, no matter what, this time the TV micro-movie still aroused the watch-and-see of many people, after all, if Ye Qiu can succeed this time, then it may also be a new channel for movies.
There are many films produced in China every year, but in fact, less than half of the films can be screened in theaters.
If this TV micro-film by Ye Qiu and Feng Gang can succeed this time, it will undoubtedly show them a way.
Wang Dong contacted Ye Qiu first.
Wang Dong's original intention was that Deep Blue and Ye Qiu had cooperated for so long, and they had made a lot of money, this time, Ye Qiu and Feng Gang's TV micro-movie was regarded as selling Ye Qiu's favor, and the price could be opened a little higher.
"Teacher Ye, I'm Wang Dong, how about it, that TV micro-movie, give it directly to Deep Blue, don't worry, we have worked together for so long, and we will definitely not let you down." Wang Dong said on the phone with a smile.
"Director Wang has such confidence in me?" Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"This is natural, how about eight million? Brother is interesting enough, right?" Wang Dong said with a smile.
Ye Qiu believes that no matter which TV station may be willing to spend so much money to buy out that film, after all, it is only a 45-minute micro-movie, however, for Wang Dong, there is no pressure, after all, in the past year, the cooperation between Ye Qiu and Deep Blue has made Deep Blue one of the few TV stations in China, and its influence has caught up with Tomato TV.
"Director Wang's kindness is understood, but I plan to operate this film in a different way, and I don't plan to sell it directly at once. Ye Qiu said.
"Oh, Mr. Ye, it seems that there is a new idea again, how about revealing a little?" Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Ye Qiu to refuse so easily.
"This micro-movie, in the first round, I don't plan to sell it, I will broadcast it directly to your TV station for free, what does Director Wang think?" Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"Free?" Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, he still didn't understand at first, could it be that Ye Qiu was really just playing with tickets, or was he not confident in this micro-movie?
But then Wang Dong understood, Ye Qiu said that it would be broadcast for Shenlan for free, but he didn't say that it was only for Shenlan's family.
"Teacher Ye, are you planning to cast a wide net to catch more fish?" asked Wang Dong in surprise.
"Director Wang guessed right, I think if it is broadcast to the TV station for free, everyone should be interested, right?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
"Tsk, Mr. Ye, it deserves to be Mr. Ye, it seems that Mr. Ye is very confident in this film?" Wang Dong said with emotion.
"I don't dare to say with confidence, but after all, this is my screen debut, so I can't be too shabby, right?" Ye Qiu said embarrassedly.
Wang Dong didn't think that Ye Qiu was really worried that the first film he starred in would not be good for ratings and lose face, looking at what Ye Qiu had done in the past, every time it was a stroke of genius.
Wang Dong thought about it and understood that although it seems that the first round of free TV stations will be broadcast, because it is free, there will definitely be a large number of TV stations interested, so this coverage is very wide, even if a TV station has a rating of 1 point, 20 points, it will add up to 20 points.
So this method, it seems that Ye Qiu suffers a loss, but in fact, after the first round of broadcasting, if the ratings are good, then Wang Dong believes that Ye Qiu will definitely not be free anymore.
In fact, many people ignore one thing, that is, although there are not many implants in this film, Ye Qiu and the sponsor signed a contract to increase the sponsorship fee according to the ratings, even if the second round of Ye Qiu is still free, the sponsorship fee is definitely not a small amount.
Compared with the audience who buys tickets to enter the theater, this free model of casting a wide net and catching more fish is actually more and wider in audience.
