Chapter 220: What's going on with filming TV

[NEW](.)

"Tang Wan!" Wang Yi thought about it for a while and said, "If we can't do this drama, we will shoot it ourselves, what do you think?" I thought about it for a moment. But being controlled by others, I'm afraid there will be twists and turns in filming! ”

Wang Yi didn't dare to say this before, but now that he is rich, he is also willful.

"Don't take the operation of a TV series as simplistic!" Tang Wan smiled bitterly and said: "It's not easy for a TV series to operate and make money, we still have too thin foundations and not enough interpersonal relationships!" ”

Tang Wan saw that Wang Yi was somewhat unconvinced, so she began to give Wang Yi the operation of the popular science TV series.

The operation process of TV dramas is from A to B to C, and as far as the operation of TV dramas is concerned, from script creation to pre- and post-production to distribution and broadcasting.

In this process, film and television companies, TV stations, and film and television bureaus will be involved. It will also involve producers, writers, screenwriters, directors, production directors, TV station procurement directors and other personnel related to the operation of TV dramas, and there should be hundreds of people before and after.

Whether in terms of the number of personnel, the length of time, or the scale of funding, the operation of a TV series can be described as a difficult task. But even this does not mean that it will be successful in the end.

In 2011, 15,000 episodes of TV dramas were produced, but only more than 6,000 episodes were finally broadcast, with a mortality rate of 60%, which means that more than half of the TV dramas did not survive after a difficult operation process, and all the hard work was in vain.

Mortality rate 60%! It can be used as a warning about the operation of the TV series and posted in the producer's office. Or save it as a phone screensaver to remind yourself at all times.

In the brewing stage of the TV series, the script is finalized, the funds are implemented, the partners are selected, the director is determined, the filming permit is handled, and the time for the start of filming is planned.

We make distribution forecasts and negotiate cooperation with TV stations, and determine the size of the production plate.

At this time, the feedback of the TV station's opinions is particularly important, whether you are optimistic and willing to invest? How much are you willing to pay for it when it is released in the future? Who do you want the actor to use? At this time, the opinions of the TV station have been more specific and clear. According to the opinions of the TV station, the size of the investment plate can be basically determined.

If the first-line satellite TV is not interested, and the second-line satellite TV says it does, then it means that the production cost should be controlled at about 1 million, not 1.5 million.

Once the size of the plate is determined, the funds are secured. And at the same time began to determine the director, actors, assistant directors and production directors. Understand the situation of the actors you need as quickly as possible, the schedule, and the price.

Huaxia TV broadcasts 240 TV dramas with less than 7,200 episodes every year, and the current production volume in China is about 15,000 episodes, which means that 50% of TV dramas have to lose money.

Every year, about 500 screenwriters start filming, but only about 240 are broadcast.

Similarly, about 500 directors start filming every year, but only about 240 are broadcast.

About 500 crews start filming every year, and only half of them are broadcast in the end!

The domestic copyright of the TV series is four years, and more than four years are basically broadcast for free. There are two possibilities why there are only DVDs for many good-looking TV series, one is that the plot involves themes strictly managed by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and TV stations dare not or are unwilling to buy them, so the producer can only release the disc.

The other is that there is a problem with the distribution of the production company, such as the asking price is too high or something, and the TV station does not buy it. In both cases, the production company must be facing huge losses.

Generally, if the TV series cannot recover the cost when the first round of satellite TV is broadcast, it will not be easy for the TV series to make money.

The distribution of TV dramas is a game between the producer, the buyer and the TV audience. However, in the process of the game, the film buyer represented by the TV station occupies a certain monopoly position and also bears certain risks. On the one hand, the buyer holds the power of life and death of the TV series, and even determines the profit of the TV series. In the TV series that are broadcast, only about 20% of the profits are made, and about half of them are lost.

The producer takes the risk, the TV station spends 70% of the money to buy 100% of the work and repeatedly defaults on the payment; At the same time, there is a lack of planning and management for the entire production group, the entry threshold is low, and the speculative component is large.

The wealthy boss only knows that he can film with money, and this part of the "one-hammer" transaction is overexploited by the existing creative resources, "The famous screenwriter has no time to think about creation, so he can only write with a group of gunmen in his hand."

Why are actors in their 40s still 'thriving'? Because they don't dare to use new resources, they only know that these familiar faces are easy to sell films, but many big-name films on the market are selling poorly, that is, there are problems with the script and production links.

After listening to Tang Wan's words, Wang Yi knew that the pit of the TV series was not ordinarily deep! If you want to make money by making TV series, it is undoubtedly a wrong choice to invest yourself, Wang Yi finally knows why actors, directors, and production companies must invest in filming.

There are too many factors that can affect whether the project makes money or not. suddenly thought of the earth, this "Soldier Assault" is also full of disasters. It almost became half of the TV series that couldn't be broadcast.

Looking at Wang Yi, who was a little depressed, Tang Wan smiled and said: "Let's not be so pessimistic, we just gave the script to CCTV, and there are many more, we can try it." Without Zhang Butcher, we don't eat hairy pigs! ”

Wang Yi smiled and said, "I'm fine, it's me who has thought things simple!" I didn't expect to shoot a TV series, there are so many ways! ”

"Our preliminary preparations still can't be stopped!" Tang Wan said: "I'll listen to CCTV's statement again, I think this Chen Chen may be making his own claims, wanting to make money for himself through this project!" ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Yi asked.

"He's a producer, that is, he's in charge of investment, and then he's pulling a group of people to shoot," Tang Wan said: "Not to mention the quality, the funds in it, but he has the final say!" ”

Wang Yi suddenly wanted to say that the city routine is deep, and I want to go back to the countryside. Why can't these people make money well? This circle is what they spoiled!

At this time, the office door opened, and Shao Jinghan walked in.

"Are you alright?" Shao Jinghan asked Wang Yi, "Why didn't you rest at home for a few days?" ”

"I'm not that vulnerable!" Wang Yi smiled and said, "Go home and help me say thank you to the old man!" Thanks to him this time! Otherwise, I won't be able to wash it even if I jump into the Yellow River! ”

Shao Jinghan smiled and said, "What did you say just now?" When to start shooting! ”

Tang Wan smiled bitterly and said, "The conversation has collapsed, do you still remember that Chen Chen?" He's actually here to be a producer! Do you want to be good? ”

"Huh?" Shao Jinghan said with a depressed face: "Why is he!" Is he still messing around with CCTV now? Didn't you say you went out early? ”

Tang Wan was stunned when she heard this, and said, "What did you say?" Got out of the stage early? ”

Shao Jinghan said: "Yes! When I was just in college, I heard that I was kicked out because of taking bribes, so why are I still here? ”

Tang Wan seemed to have an understanding, hehe sneered, and said, "It seems to be a bit of a doorway here!" ”r
