Chapter 009: Negotiating a Proposal

In fact, for the adaptation of struggle, Zhou Zihang himself thinks it is a bit big, but it must be done. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just when the two were relatively silent, Zhao Baogang suddenly slapped his palm, causing the three of them to look at him at the same time.

"The script is very good, old man, did you just say that you won't give them the copyright? This is a great opportunity! ”

Shi Kang was very puzzled by his words and asked, "Good opportunity?" What do you mean by that? ”

"You think, after so many years of struggle, the popularity has long been gone, if this TV series comes out, it will drive the progress of your novel, and the second struggle can be considered."

For the idea of the second part of the struggle, in fact, the two have had it for a long time, but for one reason or another, it has been stranded.

The original cast is a big problem.

After the person who starred in the struggle became popular, his value doubled. If you want to spend the same price, it is basically impossible to shoot the second part.

If it weren't for the original shift, it might be difficult to invest and the rate of return would not be optimistic, so there would be no need to shoot.

After thinking about it carefully, Shi Kang immediately understood what Zhao Baogang meant.

"Xiao Zhou, if you can promise me one condition, copyright is not an issue."

When Zhou Zihang heard Zhao Baogang's words just now, he knew that there was a drama in this matter, so he hurriedly said: "You say, I will try my best to be satisfied." ”

"When you sign an actor, you need to add a clause in the contract, and the actor has to use the original price point to shoot the sequel."

"This..."

For this, it is indeed difficult.

You must know that if there are such conditions, the actors will probably have concerns, unless they use newcomers.

Newcomers want to have more opportunities, and for them, money is secondary.

However, according to Zhou Zihang's idea, there is no preparation for newcomers in the protagonist, which does not meet his requirements.

But now Shi Kang has made this request, and he has to agree, otherwise you will have no copyright, a dilemma.

Zhou Zihang thought for a while, looked at Zhao Baogang again, and thought of an idea.

"Otherwise, let's get a cooperation. If you want. ”

"Tell me, what kind of cooperation law?"

Regarding what Zhou Zihang said, Zhao Baogang was very interested.

"The two of you are one side, I don't care how much the joint venture is, and my side is 20 million. We set up a struggle project, including two parts. ”

As soon as Zhou Zihang finished speaking, Zhao Baogang frowned and said, "Xiao Zhou, what do you mean, do you mean that although we are in the same project, we are working separately?" ”

When Zhou Zihang heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, the actors sign together, and they sign two films." We pay half of the salary, they appear in the first part of the script, which is the script you see, and I don't care about the next one, we just hand over the actors, and the profits are not in conflict. ”

"No, no, no, Xiao Zhou's plan is absolutely not good."

Zhou Zihang had just finished speaking, but Zhao Baogang hurriedly refused.

He also said: "Xiao Zhou, the first point is that we don't know how the market reaction to this part you filmed, and according to your plan, the second part will definitely continue the style of the first part, which is unacceptable to me." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zihang was very strange and asked: "Director Zhao, what do you mean, is it to use the actors I use to shoot the sequel to your director's struggle?" ”

Zhao Baogang spread his hands, glanced at Shi Kang and said: "That's it, we can maximize the cost reduction in exchange for enough profit margins, I believe this is also the condition for my old fellow to give you the copyright." ”

"Are you sure? Teacher Shi Kang? ”

Shi Kang looked at Zhou Zihang and nodded, agreeing with Zhao Baogang's statement.

Zhou Zihang suddenly laughed and said, "Two teachers, I have to remind you that this idea is too dangerous. ”

Regardless of the incomprehension of the two, Zhou Zihang asked Luo Jiale instead: "Jiale, if you see the struggle we filmed, and think it looks good, then watch the second part of Director Zhao and them, what is the first reaction?" ”

Luo Jiale was suddenly asked by Zhou Zihang, and he didn't understand what he meant at all, but he still said what he thought in his heart.

"It's definitely not adaptable, because it's not a style in the first place, and a lot of values have changed, but the characters are about the same. Then I'll go back and watch the first part of the struggle, but it's not these people anymore. ”

Zhou Zihang nodded, and then asked: "So if you are a fan of the first part of the struggle, what is the first feeling when you see the struggle we filmed?" ”

"Of course they'll feel like they're messing around, but I can guarantee they'll be interested in watching it and then they'll love it."

Zhou Zihang asked again: "So under this premise, after watching our struggle, what will it be like to watch the second part of the struggle?" ”

Hearing this, if Luo Jiale didn't know what Zhou Zihang meant, he wouldn't be a classmate who had lived together for 4 years.

"Of course, in terms of style and staffing, it creates a very weird feeling. With the same plot direction and different values, many people will choose to give up. At most, I will review the first part, but at this time it comes back to that issue, the actors are different. ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhao Baogang and Shi Kang saw surprise in each other's eyes, to be honest, they didn't think about it so much.

The crux of the problem lies in Zhou Zihang's adaptation of struggle is too large.

Zhao Baogang was silent, and so was Shi Kang.

At this time, Zhou Zihang said: "Actually, this is easier to solve, just use our plan just now, Luo Jiale and I will be responsible for the script of the second part." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Baogang still shook his head and said: "I can't accept this plan, because I don't know how you will react in the market." And the most important point, you just said that you are going to broadcast on an online platform, and we are definitely going to be on the stars, which is not a little different, and it can't be confused. ”

At this point, Zhou Zihang looked very confident and said: "If there is a problem, we will negotiate to solve it, didn't we have two different views just now?" Now it's just a little bit left. ”

Zhao Baogang agreed with this statement, so he said: "Then I want to know first, what do you think about this?" ”

"It's actually very simple, the platform problem is not a problem. If we achieve good results on the online platform, and the second part of the struggle is broadcast on the online platform, won't the profit be less than that of the stars? ”

Zhao Baogang didn't think so, and said: "You can't say that, when you broadcast on the stars, we can talk about millions or even millions of episodes, but what about online platforms? Can't reach the price, right? ”

"My pricing is a reserve price of three million, otherwise I wouldn't have started this project rashly."

Hearing Zhou Zihang's offer, Zhao Baogang was very surprised.

You must know that 3 million episodes and 32 episodes of struggle can sell for 96 million, make a profit of 56 million, and achieve a return rate of more than 100%, which should be a miracle in the industry.

"Young man, are you crazy? I can guarantee that no one will pay for you, note that I'm talking about anyone. ”

Hearing this, Shi Kang said suddenly.

Zhou Zihang smiled slightly and said, "This depends on the timing, and it is definitely not accidental." There's a great opportunity to do that. ”

"As far as I know, there are basically four online platforms at present, iStrange, Letv, Youku, and Mango TV, and the rest are not very competitive, and they will not buy your drama at such a high price."

Zhao Baogang is not the boss of the company, and he still has a certain understanding of the market.

Zhou Zihang said at this time: "Director Zhao, you are right, these four are the most competitive. iQiwei is an old website, Levy has recently risen, Youku has a strong capital, and Mango TV has exclusive resources. It looks flawless, but there's one thing in it, I don't know if you've noticed it. ”

"Oh? I want to hear about it! ”

Zhao Baogang does have a certain understanding of these, but he is just a boss with a basic understanding of the market.

As for Zhou Zihang, he has been studying this for 2 years, and he must have certain ideas.

"iStrange has a lot of resources and has its own production department. And Leshi self-control is also catching up, after Youku annexed Tufu, the integration of resources is superior. Mango TV is the only one, which mainly relies on some exclusive resources of Mango Satellite TV, which other websites do not have. ”

Of course, Zhao Baogang knew this, and said: "This is just an expansion of what you just said, can it explain anything?" ”

Zhou Zihang smiled slightly and said: "Of course you can, Mango TV relies on the exclusive resources of Mango Satellite TV, and it is exclusive to variety shows." Because TV series are generally broadcast on the whole network. However, in recent years, the development of Mango Satellite TV's variety shows and Mango TV's exclusive broadcast strategy have limited its development from another aspect. ”
