Chapter 761: Soldier Assault (6/176)

The shadow of a person's famous tree, being famous is undoubtedly a very interesting thing for a person. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

is like the current Ye Leiyang, although he is still not very famous in front of the public, full of mystery. But in the film and television industry, his name has already made many people thunderous.

And the two people who came to the door this time, according to Yu Wanrou, were attracted by Ye Leiyang's fame.

"A director, a screenwriter?" Ye Leiyang asked Yu Wanrou inexplicably.

At this time, the two of them had returned to the dinner table, and Sun Xiaoying was very happy after learning that she could participate in Ye Leiyang's new play, for a girl like her who dreamed of stardom, even if she could only play a small supporting role, she was already very happy.

Wang Meiyu was very excited, and kept asking about the plot of Ye Leiyang's new play, but Ye Leiyang diverted the topic.

Yu Wanrou nodded: "The director's surname is Kang, and it seems that he used to be in Inner Mongolia." The screenwriter's surname is Lan, and he doesn't seem to have any masterpieces. Neither of them is very famous anyway. ”

Ye Leiyang was stunned: "Two newcomers? ”

If you are a new director and screenwriter, it will be too inexplicable to find yourself.

Yu Wanrou shook her head: "It's not a newcomer, and the time in this circle is not short." I asked someone about it, and the two of them had a decent reputation, but they both belonged to the kind of stubborn tempers. ”

Ye Leiyang showed a thoughtful expression, he always felt that the surnames of these two people were a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard their surnames.

"What's the name of these two people?"

Ye Leiyang thought about it and asked Yu Wanrou.

Yu Wanrou frowned slightly, recalled it, and looked at Wang Meiyu: "I forgot a little, do you remember?" ”

Wang Meiyu tilted her head and thought about it and said: "The director's name is Kang Honglei, the screenwriter's name is Lan, what is Lan......"

Obviously, neither of them paid much attention to this matter, and even forgot each other's names a little.

But at this time, Ye Leiyang's mind seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt, and with a flash of inspiration, he blurted out: "Is it called Lan Xiaolong?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! That's the name. Wang Meiyu nodded again and again: "It's this person, it's him." ”

After speaking, she looked at Ye Leiyang strangely: "Brother, how do you know this person?" ”

Ye Leiyang smiled, did not answer Wang Meiyu's words, but his heart was shocked.

It's actually the golden pair of Lan Xiaolong and Kang Honglei!

So in other words, the TV series they want to invest in is "Soldier Assault"?

Thinking of this, Ye Leiyang felt as if he had caught something, he felt that his luck had been particularly good recently, and it seemed that God was too bored to see him, so he specially found a bunch of things to do for himself.

Regarding the TV series "Soldier Assault", Ye Leiyang is most impressed by Xu Sanduo played by Wang Baoqiang, the silly image finally completed the transformation in the barracks, I have to say that the success of this TV series is that many people see their shortcomings and see the lack of masculinity in this era.

What's more, "Soldier Assault" is an underrated TV series, no one thought that a military-themed TV series that premiered on local TV stations could rely on word-of-mouth to become the "drama king" that swept the small screen in 2007.

A TV series that can be called the "king of dramas" needs not only word of mouth, but also ratings, and an astounding return on investment.

In the final analysis, if a TV series wants to succeed, it is not only necessary to have super high ratings, but also to allow investors to get a return on their investment.

And "Soldier Assault" is precisely such a work.

Historically, the investors of "Soldier Assault" did not make much money, the cost of a single episode of "Soldier Assault" is 400,000 yuan, and 30 episodes are 12 million, compared to many investments of tens of millions of yuan, it is not a big production, and it is only a medium-scale domestic military-themed drama. But this also made the director rack his brains for financing. Because "Soldier Assault" does not have star casts, bizarre stories, male and female ****, grand scenes, palace grievances and other "commercial elements", so initially "Soldier Assault" made some investors quite hesitant. Later, Huayi Tianyi Film and Television Company thought that the film had a novel narrative angle, broke through the previous military theme, and portrayed a real ordinary soldier, so it signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Bayi Studio, invested one-third of the funds for the film, and Bayi Factory undertook nearly 70% of the investment share, so that "Soldier Assault" could meet the public.

And according to the data presented by various TV stations, the ratings of "Soldier Assault" are not high. You must know that "Soldier Assault" is more likely to attract people with high education, high income, and high social status to watch, such people are the target audience of advertising, but because the ratings statistics of Huaxia at this stage are still relatively extensive, this kind of people are basically not among the sample users, and this part of the people is more accustomed to watching TV from the Internet. A famous director even bluntly said that the current ratings statistics are only based on 300 sample households, and most of these sample households are low- and middle-income groups, which cannot fully reflect the ratings.

Because this drama does not have "commercial elements", the TV station did not give it much attention. In the end, most of the TV stations signed broadcast contracts, the minimum is only 2,000 yuan per episode, and there are many local TV stations that resolutely do not buy it.

The popularity of "Soldier Assault" was largely achieved through the spread of the Internet. After having a good reputation and audience on the Internet, the craze is fed back to TV. Later, various TV stations rebroadcast "Soldier Assault" on a large scale, and some stations even edited it into 40 episodes, and the advertising fees made the TV stations make a lot of money, but the producers could not make any profit from it.

Ye Leiyang also understands that there are deep reasons why investing in TV dramas does not make money. In China, the distribution of TV dramas is generally a one-time buyout of the broadcast rights for one to two years. The number of broadcasts and the income from broadcasts during the agreement period have nothing to do with the producer. In addition, now the buyers of TV dramas are only CCTV and provincial and municipal TV stations, which have a high degree of monopoly, and various provinces have set up radio and television groups to limit prices in a unified manner, and the monopoly is even stronger. In Europe and the United States, the distribution of film and television works generally implements a royalty system, and as long as it is broadcast once, it has to be paid once.

"Contact them!" Ye Leiyang said softly to Yu Wanrou. No matter what reason Lan Xiaolong and Kang Honglei didn't start filming "Soldier Assault", but since they found themselves, Ye Leiyang couldn't let go of this piece of fat no matter what. (To be continued.) )
