Chapter 067: Tencent Pictures' Great Expansion

On February 28, it is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and the strong flavor of the New Year has spread across the land of China. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The premiere of "Cohabitation Blog" has officially entered the countdown.

Tencent Pictures, which has inflated like a balloon, has begun to enter the stage of consolidating its foundation while aggressively recruiting film and television talents from all walks of life.

For example, at a time when Huangliang Performing Arts is becoming more and more prosperous, how should Tencent Pictures adjust the relationship between the two parties......

In the imperial capital, the smog is striking again.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a huge capital city was shrouded in smog and visibility did not exceed ten meters.

In the busy streets, the headlights of each car are like two bowl-sized red eyeballs, flashing and flashing, blocking the road, and from time to time there is an impatient roar, and the horn sounds come and go.

A ray of sunlight pierces through the haze, faintly refracting colors in the water vapor in the air.

One of the buildings where Tencent Pictures is located has entered a working state at some point, and the vehicles coming in and out have put the security personnel into overload.

The building is seven stories high, and the artists who have signed contracts one after another have moved in, occupying the upper four floors.

The lower three floors have become the office areas of Tencent Pictures' studios and various departments of Tencent Pictures, except for the two large conference rooms and three offices on the fourth floor, which are the only office areas on the upper four floors.

Two large conference rooms, one of which is usually used for internal meetings and the other for external negotiations, cooperation and exchanges.

There are three offices, one of which is Mr. Bai's office, and the other is the finance department.

The remaining one has been vacant for a long time, in fact, it is the temporary office of Brother Xiao Ma of the Tencent Empire, when Tencent Pictures opened in the imperial capital in a high-profile manner, Brother Xiao Ma came in person, and used this office as a place to meet guests, and it was retained after leaving.

However, in the studios owned by Tencent Pictures, in addition to the staff of the studio, artists often choose to return to their residences.

After all, it is easy to have been in the entertainment industry for so many years and have your own house in the emperor.

Of course, like Hu Bingtian, Chen Tingni, Zhang Huiwen, and some prospective artists who have just signed contracts and graduated from the three major colleges and universities, do not have the financial ability and can only live on the fourth floor of the building.

Even so, Tencent Pictures is still recruiting new ones.

Because of the signing of an exclusive strategic agreement with China Literature, two TV series and one movie will be ready to be established after the year, and there is too little new actors.

When Tencent Pictures finds a long-term contracted residential community in the imperial capital, the upper four floors of the building will also be vacated one after another.

The pre-production of film and television works can be carried out in various places, but the post-production needs to be carried out in a separate area of the headquarters, and this is also the positioning of Tencent Pictures on the top four floors of the building.

Special effects, background music, editing, and dubbing in post-production, posters, trailers, and shooting footages in publicity and distribution matters, as well as pre-script projects for film and television works and post-production submissions, all need to occupy a huge office area.

Unlike several other film and television giants, Tencent Pictures' core positioning is to create a large number of excellent film and television works based on scripts created by original novels.

It is positioned as a comprehensive film and television production company, rather than a professional actor and artist agency.

Therefore, other performing arts companies can be outsourced to professional studios to do the post-production, and Tencent Pictures is ready to include all of them, and after a series of film and television works are run in the whole system, it can form an organic circulation system.

Not only that, but the studios run by Tencent Pictures and well-known actors in the industry have always been open.

As long as they agree with the concept of Tencent Pictures and sincerely hope to contribute to excellent film and television works, film and television artists and behind-the-scenes professionals can join the big family of Tencent Pictures.

If you have any concerns, you can also sign a two-year short-term contract, cooperate in the form of a ministry contract, and adopt a dual-core investment model of companies and individuals to create film and television works.

It's just that the post-production and publicity of film and television works need to be handled by the company's professional post-production department, and when they can't reach the state of the work they want, they can be outsourced to other professional studios in the industry for post-production.

Zhou Xun, Xu Jinglei, Chen Daoshu, Xia Yu, Sun Honglei, Huang Bo and other well-known artists who have opened studios have adopted this model and signed a contract for five to ten years.

Wang Gang, Huang Haibo, Che Xiao, Chen Baoguo, Hu Jun, Chen Kun and other powerful actors are also based on their own judgment, and they signed a contract with the head of the department.

Hu Bingtian, Chen Tingni and other well-known star artists signed brokerage contracts.

As for Tencent Pictures' recruitment of a large number of new actors, it is a ten-year full contract for new actors recruited from the three major film and television schools, which can be described as a 'staff', but according to the development status of newcomers, there is an opportunity to adjust the terms of the contract once every three years.

And Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop has become the most special studio under Tencent Pictures.

Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop is one of the oldest studios in Tencent Pictures, in addition to the three professional online drama production studios affiliated to Tencent Video website.

Unlike the studios of other well-known artists under Tencent Pictures, which operate around core artists and never sign contracts with other artists, Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop is basically a small film and television integrated company, in addition to post-production must be outsourced, from the perspective of screenwriting, production, filming, signing and other functions of film and television production companies, Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop maintains basic independence, although it joins under Tencent Pictures, it can always maintain a state of dissociation.

Tencent Pictures can't intervene, Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop operates independently externally, and the signatories are all extras from Hengdu Film and Television City.

Although at this stage, they are mainly film and television works produced with Tang Nian as the core, but the actors under the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop still maintain full coverage in the various crews of Hengdu Film and Television City, and the main supporting roles are more than four CD Sad Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop has been monopolized, and the remaining sixty percent are occupied by several other studios similar to performing arts studios established by other groups, and the two sides compete from time to time, but all the extras in Hengdu Film and Television City have been mobilized, so that the crews who come to Hengdu Film and Television City to film have gained a lot of benefits.

The enthusiasm of the extras is very high, and for the crew, it is not only the acceleration of the filming process, but also the significant reduction of the shooting cost.

In this process, the extras of Hengdu Film and Television City have obtained more performance opportunities, as long as they are willing to work hard, the studio will look at them, and they will find these extras whenever they have the opportunity to appear and participate.

If you're lucky, a few anti-Japanese dramas or online dramas have become big and small.

For example, after the contracted extras under the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop become famous, regular film and television production companies and major video websites will come to the door.

With the filming of one online drama after another, there are more and more popular actors who are familiar with each other in the eyes of the audience, and in Hengdu Film and Television City, more and more extras have found channels and ways to rise, and their enthusiasm for acting has been greatly stimulated.

In just half a year, because of this more effective incentive state, Hengdu Film and Television City has produced more than double the number of film and television dramas compared with previous years.

In February, Hengdu Film and Television City jumped to the No. 1 film and television base in China.

The whole film and television city, with a positive and high-spirited outlook, has made more and more crews come to Hengdu Film and Television City to film, and on average, a new drama is held in Hengdu Film and Television City every half a month.

Even the second phase of Hengdu Film and Television City, which has just been completed and entered the later stage of renovation, has to speed up the progress, and some areas that have just been delivered have crews stationed the next day......

In this good situation, Tencent Pictures had to pay attention to Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop again, and even held a special meeting because of this, recruiting the entire studio of Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop to the imperial capital and holding a closed-door meeting.

For Tencent Pictures, although the profits brought to the company by other studios and powerful actors signed by it are very high, the risks in the process are also very large.

These powerful actors have their own way of doing things and social circles, and the film and television works they starred in either made huge profits to the company or suffered big losses, which made the company's capital chain tight for a certain period of time.

But Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop is different, excluding the factor of the Tang Dynasty, the Performing Arts Workshop is a vibrant fruit tree, which cannot bring gold and silver to the company at one time, but it has a continuous supply of energy and output, bringing stable profits, and the accumulation cannot be underestimated.

It belongs to the kind of high-performing stocks with high return on investment, which is stable and long-term.

The efficiency of input and output is also very high.

Take the upcoming "Cohabitation Blog" tonight as an example, at the promotion meeting not long ago, several satellite TVs competed, but Dragon TV got the first round of exclusive broadcast rights at a guaranteed price of 1 million per episode.

It stands to reason that the pre-shooting and post-production of "Cohabitation Blog" has an investment of 40 million, and the purchase cost of 1 million per episode is not high, and the total of 36 episodes is only 36 million, which is still a little short of recovering the investment.

However, "Cohabitation Blog" got the exclusive copyright of 1.5 million per episode on the Tencent video website, and recovered all the investment at once, and got an additional return of nearly 10 million.

And this drama is the result of the investment of Tang Nian + Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop, although the company is responsible for the review and post-production, but it can't get more from the follow-up returns of this TV series, and can only extract 10% of the profit from the investment in Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop.

According to the accounting of the company's investment and production department, according to the super high popularity and expectation brought by the online publicity of "Cohabitation Blog" because of Tang Nian, this drama is definitely a hit drama during the Spring Festival.

Because according to the data fed back from the background of Tencent Video website, which bought out the exclusive copyright of "Living Together Blog" online broadcast, a week's publicity has attracted more than 500,000 member subscriptions, which is enough to prove the excellence of this drama......

Bai Yiji had to admit that Tang Nian's vision was unique and quite standard.

The more this is the case, the more Bai Yizhen is worried that Huangliang Performing Arts will part ways with Tencent Pictures after the foundation is thick, which is what Xiao Ma doesn't want to see, and what Bai Yizhen doesn't want to see.

But Bai Yiji couldn't make up his mind for a long time, because when Tang Nian was banned by the rivers and lakes, Tencent Pictures did not play a due role in protecting Tang Nian and Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop...... Although Tencent Pictures will still participate in the end, Bai Yiji has never been able to find a suitable opportunity to open this mouth, until this time he made up his mind to pull the whole performing arts workshop to the imperial capital for a special meeting, which was officially proposed.

However, the thematic meeting was divided on investment and returns, and reached an impasse.

"Mr. Bai, you also know that the foundation of the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop is in the extras, in Hengdu Film and Television City, let us suddenly move to the imperial capital headquarters, this is not appropriate!"

"Neither of us was fully prepared for this special meeting, and it was really difficult to reach a mutually satisfactory cooperation under such circumstances......

"However, this special meeting cannot be said to be fruitless, at least we both know each other's demands and concerns...... I think Tencent Pictures is kind to the growth of the performing arts studio, and if we can stay in Tencent Pictures all the time, we are all very willing! ”

Since the filming of "Meng Jiangnu", the performing arts workshop has almost entered a state of continuous rotation, from "The First Chaos in History" to "The White Fox Cover of the Coffin Opener at Midnight", and then to "Cohabitation Blog", the performing arts studio has not had a good rest. It just so happens that "Cohabitation Blog" was launched during the Spring Festival, and we also took this opportunity to take a good rest, after the Spring Festival, we will continue this special meeting, and strive to reach cooperation and work together in the future. ”

In the conference room on the fourth floor, it was Tang Nian who finally broke the silence.

"It's okay, I was presumptuous before, and I didn't do the job in advance, so ...... We are scheduled to continue this meeting after the fifteenth day of the first month, that is, on the twenty-second day of March? ”

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

“……”

The whole Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop agreed to Mr. Bai's suggestion, and the tense atmosphere in the entire conference room was finally completely relieved.

"There are ten more hours, at eight o'clock in the evening, "Cohabitation Blog" will be broadcast on Dragon TV, everyone take a look, this is the first pure love TV series adapted from an online novel in the past two years to be broadcast on the stars, support it!"

Tang Nian looked at the time and took the opportunity to liven up the atmosphere and said.

"Definitely!"

"A must, be sure to see it!"

"Take the opportunity to watch and see this pure love TV series that the audience is most looking forward to......"

"Dragon TV has been advertising for a week, and every prime-time trailer will be broadcast, and it is finally about to start......"

“……”

In the conference room, everyone chatted about "Living Together Blog" casually, but Tang Nian's heart became nervous for no reason.

Certain...... To succeed!
