"The Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family", an 80-episode urban romance idol drama. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The script Mai Xiaoyu had already "copied" and lay quietly in the safe in the office.

When Mai Xiaoyu first chose the script for Zhao Liying and Shu Chang, he gave too much thought to youth idol dramas, and even considered the full sinicization of Japanese and Korean campus idol dramas. It wasn't until he saw Tang Yan today that he thought of this drama.

This drama was originally prepared by him for Tang Yan.

Now starring Huo Jianhua, Tang Yan, Zhao Liying, and Shu Chang, it is very suitable. And the length of 80 episodes should be enough to dispel the brand of "Love Apartment" on Zhao Liying.

Once the script is settled, the rest is easier.

The next day, he handed over the script of "The Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family" to Liu Xiaoli, and contacted Sun Yaxing again, suggesting that Huo Jianhua play "strict", Tang Yan play "Xia Mei", Zhao Liying play "Xia Zhenzhen", and Shu Chang play "Xia Youyou".

His suggestions, the company generally no one stops, especially in the production of film and television dramas, the selection of actors, his suggestions have basically never changed.

The rest of the matter is for Liu Xiaoli to select the executive producer, and work with Sun Yaxing to formulate the project schedule and prepare for the crew. Then, according to the project schedule, contact the agents of Huo Jianhua, Tang Yan, Zhao Liying, and Shu Chang to finalize the final schedule.

Sun Yaxing's "Du Lala's Promotion", the premiere rights were sold before the start, and it was broadcast four-star during the summer vacation, including Dolphin Satellite TV. At the moment he has nothing to do.,I'm picking out a book.。

Because of the success of "Flight Attendant", his worth has jumped up a lot, and the salary for a single episode has gone straight to six figures. As for Li Hui, the godfather-level director of domestic idol dramas, the salary for a single episode has long exceeded six figures.

"Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family" is 80 episodes long, and Sun Yaxing's pre-tax salary is as high as more than 6 million.

Of course, there are not so many of them, his studio is affiliated with Moeren, and he still has to pay taxes.

Even so, compared with him who used to make TV series for local tyrants, he is now unimaginable in terms of fame, social status, and personal income.

After getting the script, he directly gave Mai Xiaoyu a warm hug: "Mr. Mai, I know that you are my nobleman! Don't worry, I promise to shoot this TV series well." ”

Sun Yaxing rushed away, returned to his studio, and gathered people to prepare for the preparation of "Xia Family".

Liu Xiaoli asked: "Wheat, don't you arrange for Li Ya to star? She has just debuted and needs to take on a few more dramas." ”

She ...... I told her agent, Zhao Chupeng, and asked him to help Tong Liya take on more costume dramas, and let the urban dramas be released for the time being. ”

In the hit pure love drama "Flight Attendant", Tong Liya starred in the second female "Lele".

Tong Liya performed well in the play, performing the hot character of "Lele" who values love and righteousness. Coupled with her appearance: big eyes, high nose, melon seed face, two small dimples, and faintly visible little tiger teeth, she has won a lot of praise and a lot of fans.

However, she failed to achieve the effect expected by Mai Xiaoyu, at most, it can only be said that many viewers have recognized and remembered her, a beautiful Xibe girl, and has gained a certain degree of attention, which is not popular.

Referring to the experience in the strange dream, Mai Xiaoyu decided to let her go the road of the most beautiful costume drama first, and then try to transform into an urban drama after she became popular.

"Is there any difficulty on Xiao Zhao's side, he is also a new agent, I am worried that he does not have enough resources and contacts on hand. ”

"It's okay, I said hello to Xiaoxue. ”

"That's good, you've always been thoughtful. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xiaoli paused and opened her mouth, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.

Mai Xiaoyu asked, "What's the matter, Aunt Liu?"

Liu Xiaoli hesitated for a moment and sighed lightly: "Wheat, the drama "Xia Family", I'm afraid the investment will not be less than 50 million. ”

"That's for sure, if it's less than 50 million, you can't shoot. ”

"Do you have any ideas for suddenly increasing investment in film and television dramas this year?"

"No, I just think that the company is too rich, and now that the market is going to shoot a big production. Aunt Liu, what do you want to say?"

Liu Xiaoli smiled bitterly: "If the two movies on the American side are negotiated, our cute people will not be so rich in terms of funds." Coupled with next year's "Xia Family", 50 million will be invested, and the company's funds may be tight. ”

The 80-episode TV series, with a total investment of more than 50 million, is really not high. That is, "Xia Family" is an urban romance idol drama, try it as a costume war drama, not to mention how much money is burned for a war scene, just because the crew is huge, and the cost of eating horses and chewing every day is not a small amount.

For example, "Three Kingdoms", which is rumored to be remade now, cannot be filmed without more than 100 million.

There is also a new version of "Dream of Red Mansions" that is planned to be launched around May this year through the "Dream of Red Mansions" draft last year, and the budget will not be less than 100 million.

"Xia Family" is fortunately, it is an urban romance idol drama, and it can recover part of the investment cost through advertising placement. However, the advertising sponsorship fee is not a one-time payment, and it is paid in installments, just like the final payment of the TV station.

If the agreement in the contract is not met, the final payment may be lost.

The budget of more than 50 million yuan of "Xia Family" will not become the last straw that crushes the cute people, but it can let the cute people taste the hidden disease of all film and television companies - lack of money.

Since the reform of the separation of production and broadcasting, a large number of people in the television system have gone to the sea. Create a film and television company, produce TV dramas, and sell them to TV stations. However, most people lack original capital accumulation, and the production cost of a TV series requires millions of yuan, so they can only rely on external financing.

With the development of the market, over the years, the production cost of a single TV series has been tens of millions of yuan, or even hundreds of millions of yuan, and almost all film and television companies' own working capital is difficult to support the huge capital demand.

The film and television industry is also an asset-light industry, and it is difficult to use financing leverage, and the "lack of money" of film and television companies has become the norm.

What's more unfortunate is that the capital turnover rate of film and television dramas is very low.

A TV series often goes through a cycle of up to 1.5 to 2 years from development, production, broadcasting, and payment collection.

And for a movie, it will take half a year after it goes offline for the production company to see the money. As for the time for pre-preparation, shooting, post-editing, publicity and distribution, and waiting for the release...... Let's put it this way, Xiao Xing has begun to prepare for the filming of "Inception", but if the movie is to be released, there is no hope for next year.

Zhang Xiaoquan's "Love Call Transfer 2", the scene and scale are not as big as "Inception", and there is no need for modeling, scenery painting, and green screen magic horses, there are not many special effects shots, and the production cycle will be shortened a lot.

However, all this is still based on the ready-made script, saving the time of discussing the script and revising the script, otherwise the production cycle will be longer.

Based on this phenomenon, even the huge listed ones can't bear a large number of accounts receivable. When filming film and television dramas, in addition to self-financing, they will also raise funds from all parties to reduce the risk of operating cash flow.

This is why there are many investment channels for hot money, as well as one of the rumored unspoken rules in the entertainment industry - the actor who brings money into the group is bullish.

Mengren's previous film and television dramas were almost all small productions, with little investment and high returns. Although it also suffered from the TV station paying the balance in installments and extending the payment period, resulting in some funds being occupied, the overall operating cash flow was good and the capital flow was abundant.

At the beginning of this year, however, the situation has changed.

The copyright fees of "Xian 3" and "Flight Attendant" are less than 40%; the box office share of "Love Call Transfer" will not be until early next year; and the largest source of income is "This Man from Earth", and the box office share will only arrive later than "Love Call Transfer".

And Mengren invested $10 million to shoot "Twilight" this year, and he has to prepare 80 million to $100 million to prepare for "The Wizard of Wonderland" and "Alice in Wonderland".

In addition, projects such as "Inception", "Love 2", "Xia Family", and "Mythology" have invested a huge amount of money.

Fortunately, the cute family has a thick foundation, and there is the artist's salary sharing, the year-end dividends of companies such as Blue Sky Real Estate Development, Wheat Leaf Special Effects, MLGB Records, Film and Television Peripheral Product Sales, and Mai Xiaoyu earned hundreds of millions in the secondary market in the first half of the year, which can barely maintain the normal operation of the company's cash flow next year.

Liu Xiaoli's reminder is not groundless, any company's capital chain is broken, it is fatal, and it may lead to the company's "sudden death", and Meng Ren is no exception.

What's more, there are foreign enemies in the cuteness, and the tiger is on the side.

In the second half of the year, there was no movement on Ning Shirong's side, that is, the TV series "The Past Love" and "Flight Attendant" produced by Qingtian Film and Television competed against each other at the same time, which can be regarded as normal competition. However, Mai Xiaoyu can't take it lightly, and dogs that bite people often don't bark.

"I know, next year will be mainly these projects. If there is a new project, we will raise funds externally. I really can't do it, I still have a lot of money in my hand, and I can use it to turn over to the company first. ”

Mai Xiaoyu chuckled and said that he had considered this aspect of the problem.

The pressure brought by the increase in investment to the company's capital chain, Mai Xiaoyu is not worried, his personal assets are quite rich.

The large amount of real estate hoarded in his hands has now doubled in value, and there are all kinds of high income brought by the four doppelgangers, royalties, manuscript fees, copyright fees, remuneration, etc., and his personal assets have easily exceeded 100 million.

Since the beginning of this year, the company has suddenly increased the number of projects and increased the amount of investment in each project, because the time is gradually ripe and he is ready to achieve his small goals.

Achieving small goals requires money, a lot of money.

He just wants to complete the final ammunition preparation in the next two or three years through the high returns brought by many projects, and then deliver a fatal blow, OVER!

No matter what bad tricks Ning Shirong has been holding back in recent months, Mai Xiaoyu is ready to take away Qingtian and Ning Shirong in waves to achieve his small goal.

Ning Shirong didn't know the small goal in Mai Xiaoyu's heart, and even if he knew, he wouldn't believe it.

As a giant cheap, how can he be swallowed by a middle-class cute person?

He also prepared a fatal blow for Mai Xiaoyu, ready to thoroughly understand the grievances between the two.

After cultivating for several months, he also endured for many months, and seeing that it was already the end of the year, he was preparing for activities. While testing Mai Xiaoyu's vigilance, he continued to paralyze Mai Xiaoyu and prepare for a fatal blow in the future.

Since it was for paralysis, this time he decided not to brush up on existence like before, but to hide Qingtian behind the scenes and find another "gun".

In the spacious office, Ning Shirong sat on the sofa with a red wine.

Zhang Ruilin, Pei Pengbing, Tian Ye and Liu Lei sat around, and Liu Lei was still taking cigars for him.

"Rong Shao, the cigar is baked. ”

Liu Lei handed the cigar to Ning Shirong with a sneer on his face and lit it for him.

Ning Shirong put down his wine glass, took a puff of his cigar, and asked: "Recently, the momentum of cute people is good, I heard that they are still negotiating cooperation with Disney, and a grass company is getting bigger and bigger." ”

Liu Lei flattered: "If you become bigger, it is also a grass company, it is a grassroots, how can it be compared with Rong Shao? As long as Rong Shao is willing, he can be crushed to death with one finger at any time." ”

"Don't pat me on the back, I need someone who can do things. Ning Shirong glanced at him with a cold face and asked Zhang Ruilin, "Have you finished researching the cute artist contract?"

Zhang Ruilin said succinctly: "I have found someone to study it, there are loopholes in the contract, and there is a certain chance of winning if you sue." ”

Ning Shirong nodded, and asked Pei Pengbing again, "How are you arranging over there?"

"It's arranged. They have been in contact with Deng Chao and his agent many times, calculate the time, and the cute people should also receive the film contract, it depends on how the cute people react. ”

Ning Shirong looked at director Tian Ye again: "Your idea is good this time." ”

Tian Ye smiled humbly: "The main reason is that I have been filming a lot over the years, and I am used to seeing similar things in the crew." ”

Ning Shirong nodded in affirmation, ""The Love in the Past is a good shot, I have already said hello to Mr. Huang, as long as you get a good book in the future, the resources on his side will be tilted towards you first." Didn't you say that Mai Xiaoyu slapped you in the face, then you should work harder and strive to make a TV series as soon as possible, overpower him, and slap him in the face. ”

Huang is always the CEO of Qingtian Film and Television, and he is also a person from Ning Zhiyuan's faction. With Ning Shirong's greeting, Tian Ye has a completely different status among several TV series directors under Qingtian Film and Television.

He can get this treatment, not because the ratings of "The Love in the Past" are good, but because he gave Ning Shirong an idea - the correct posture of poaching cute artists was recognized by Ning Shirong.

"Alright, go get busy. ”

Pei Pengbing, Tian Ye, and Liu Lei turned around and left the office, Zhang Ruilin hesitated, and then got up, wanting to leave.

Ning Shirong sensed that Zhang Ruilin had something to say and stopped him.

"Rong Shao, what other instructions?"

"Do you have something to say?"

"No, no. ”

Ning Shirong was silent and looked at him expressionlessly.

After a while, Zhang Ruilin said: "I don't think there's any point in doing this. ”

What idea did the field come up with?
