Chapter 230 of the main text volume squeezes out the surplus value

Next chapter

In an office building in the distant capital, the beast is holding a meeting with the main creators and investors of the crew.

On the table of the conference room, there are a lot of materials on the floor, all of which are all kinds of unexpected numbers in this episode.

The number of clicks, the number of fans, and likes have all broken far from the record, and the number of fans on Weibo has also exceeded 8 million, breaking through various records of a single episode of the current online drama. Even the number of episodes alone is much higher than the combined number of many online dramas in the entire season.

"So I think now is the best time to invest in filming a big movie that you can't think of, take advantage of the hot iron, take advantage of the enthusiasm of the current fans, shoot as much as possible, and you can also catch up with the summer broadcast." And the beast said with confidence.

On either side of the conference table sat two groups of people, the beast and the crew sat on one side, and on the opposite side were representatives of the three investors.

Hearing the Beast raise the topic of investing in movies, the three representatives made eye contact with each other, and the middle-aged female representative sitting in the middle said: "Calling the Beast, we appreciate your passion very much. However, after discussion, our investors still unanimously feel that it is safer to continue to do online dramas at present. ”、

The beast's expression froze suddenly, and he asked a little incredulously, "Why?" ”

He had received information from other sources before the meeting, and the investors were likely to discuss making a big movie at the meeting by killing the unexpected fire. Therefore, before the meeting, the beast did a lot of preparation and preliminary work, and discussed the investment details with the representatives of the investor in detail, and even brought a friend who is quite famous in the industry to help.

Unexpectedly, the investor didn't think about it at all, and didn't even give him room for bargaining, and directly refused.

The female representative looked at the stunned beast and said calmly, "Call the beast." Your energy is limited, we hope you can devote yourself to the production of unexpected online dramas, and focus on doing one thing well. ”

Without hesitation, the beast said, "I can fully spare enough energy to take care of both aspects." ”

Several people from the investor side looked at each other again, and the female representative spoke: "Of course we believe in your ability." But I also hope you can understand whether making a big movie can make money or not. None of us are sure, but on the contrary, we can't imagine that online dramas are so hot at the moment, as long as we continue to do it hard and ensure that the quality does not decline, we will definitely make money. In the face of an uncertain outcome, we prefer the former. ”

"That ......" has no investors, so the beast has passion. Nothing can be done, since the investor insisted, the beast had to give in, and asked in a consultative tone: "Then, when this season is finished, before the end of the year, what about shooting a big movie?" ”

The representative of the investor hesitated for a moment and said, "What do I mean." It's at least one more season......"

Next to the beast sat an emaciated young man with a sighing stubble, but not very old. With an indescribable faint smile on his lips all the time, he hugged his arms. He is not a member of the crew, he just has a good personal relationship with the beast, and sometimes he helps change the script, and today he was pulled to the platform by the beast, so from the beginning of the meeting to the present. He listened quietly and didn't speak.

It wasn't until he heard the representative of the investor say this that he raised his eyebrows and interjected: "I don't really understand what you're thinking, I didn't expect this kind of online drama to die." Life cycles are finite. Call the beast, don't mind, I'll tell you the truth, no matter how hard you try, you will be popular for three or four years at most. If you don't invest in making movies at the hottest time now, do you have to wait until fans start to lose in the future? ”

Although this emaciated young man had never had any sense of zài, the people present seemed to attach great importance to his words, and as soon as he spoke, almost everyone put down the information in hand and looked at him in unison.

After listening to this, the representative of the investor on the opposite side explained with a smile: "What you said makes sense, and it is basically the same as our idea. But there's one thing you don't seem to have taken into account, we think it's unthinkable now, it's not the hottest time yet, and there must be a lot of room for upside after that. ”

She said as she tapped her finger at the information on the table, "This result is indeed beyond everyone's expectations, so why is there such a result?" ”

There is no need to answer this question at all, everyone knows that it must not be because the beast suddenly became smarter and more handsome, but because it was stained with the light of Yangchuan Zoo.

Without the animals participating in the show, and without the Daisheng Distillery, the level of this episode would not be much better than the original.

"yes, that's what we think too." The representative of the production party turned his gaze to the beast and said: "Since it is connected with the animal eyes of Yangchuan City, and the audience loves to watch animal performances, and the later ones can't be imagined, you might as well add animal elements, and we will give them what the audience likes." If you can take the production team to the zoo again, and the next few episodes of the web series also add animal elements, then we can increase the investment. ”

The beast understood that this time the unexpected fire did not make the investors willing to take the money to make a movie, as he imagined, but instead led the investors to continue to squeeze and kill the value of the unexpected online drama.

Now the domestic film and television entertainment industry is very much like the golden age of entertainment in Xiangjiang in the 10s. found that a subject matter could make money and be popular, and capital flocked to it, and tried desperately to shoot it without restraint, until the subject matter was filmed on the bad street, squeezing all the value, and making the audience disgusted.

For investors, the first to enter the market will definitely be able to make a steady profit. But for the subject matter itself, it is a blow to the mière.

If you keep filming online dramas about animals, the audience's reaction will gradually become rational and dull from the novel enthusiasm at the beginning, and even boredom in the end.

At that time, the investor makes money, pats his ass and leaves, and then invests in other themes. The mess and infamy that can be left behind will be left to the crew and the zoo to bear.

The capital of all evils, from the moment it comes to the world, carries blood in every pore! The beast scolded in his heart, it seems that the matter of making a movie will be out of action in a short period of time.

He had a feeling of broken dreams and muttered, "What about my movie......

"Hehe, there will be a movie, and when we shoot another season or two of online dramas, we can still discuss." The words of the representative of the investor are obviously a bit coping.

I know with my ass that if I shoot another season or two, if it can continue to be popular, the investor will definitely ask to continue filming until the value of the online series is squeezed out. On the contrary, if it can't be popular, then investing in making a big movie is risky, and it is even more difficult to find investors to ask for money.

The meeting ended quickly, and the investors came today, mainly to convey the spirit of the instructions: let the beast continue to do animal-themed web dramas, as for the big movie, it's just wishful thinking on the part of the beast.

The beast sat on a chair, looking depressed and bowing its head, very lonely.

The beast wants to make money, but he is also a literary and artistic youth, and like all secondary goods, literary and artistic young people have their own dreams in their hearts. The reason why the beast gave up his job and came to the capital alone, working hard day and night, was because there was always a dream buried deep in his heart.

ihaveadream！

The web drama is just a springboard for the beast, and the real dream of the beast is to become a real director and make movies!

Although he had dreams before, he never had the opportunity. At this time, one by one living opportunities slipped away from him.

The cruelest thing in the world is not that there is no hope, but that it gives you hope and takes away hope again.

The room was empty, except for the beast and the young man he had invited to the platform.

The young man walked over, patted the beast on the shoulder, and persuaded: "Dreams are such a thing as dreams, but sometimes, dreams are also a heavy burden. If you put it down for a while, you may be able to live a little easier. ”

The beast raised its head and said a little confused, "You say, am I deceiving myself?" Perhaps, my dream is not to make a movie, but I have always told myself that this is my dream, so I have taken it seriously. ”

The young man shrugged indifferently: "Does it matter?" ”

"Doesn't it matter?"

"It doesn't matter if it's heavy, it's not important." The young man said: "The environment of Yangchuan Zoo is very good, I think you can go to the zoo to live for a while, you can't think of it, and you can rest and rest by the way, so you should go on vacation." ”

Immediately after, he grinned: "I also happened to be blessed by you to go play for a few days." ”

"You're going too?" The beast was slightly stunned.

……

On the zoo's side, Shen Yan's company only took a week to develop the software system of the online live broadcast platform, which was so fast that Su Ming was surprised.

He has some basic understanding of software development, a project, to go through a lot of processes such as project establishment, requirements, modeling, programming, testing, etc., each step consumes a lot of time and energy.

"I heard that you were in a hurry, so I took a few people from the company's project team to work overtime, and they were in the company for a week, and they finally rushed out." Shen Yan looked tired.

Su Ming mentioned it to Shen Yan that day, saying that he hoped to do his best to do a good job, he had already released Nangong's two pigeons, just waiting for the platform to be developed and launched first, he temporarily left his work at the zoo, went to Xiangjiang with Nangong to play for a while, and came back to broadcast live on the operating platform. Unexpectedly, when he said casually at that time, Shen Yan fell in love.

"Great work! After the acceptance, I asked the accountant to send you the money. Su Ming patted Shen Yan's shoulder.

Shen Yan took the technicians to the server to deploy the software, and after the zoo checked and accepted the online live broadcast platform internally and confirmed that it met the requirements, Su Ming was ready to send a notice on Weibo to start an online platform.

Before Shen Yan's subordinates were finished, the mobile phone rang, and when he saw it, it was a call from the beast.

"Huh? Yes?! I'll go! You're at the door?! ”
