Chapter 228: The Voice of China Movie?
It is not a good script that restricts the scarcity of the production of excellent TV dramas with large investment every year, after all, there are not a few excellent screenwriters and novelists who love to 'make up stories'. ≥ ≥ ≥ Xiao ≥ said,
is also not a good actor, there are countless newcomers in the entertainment industry every year, there is no shortage of overnight explosions, no lack of accumulation, and no shortage of veteran actors.
Naturally, it is not because of investment, after all, there are not a few local tyrants in Huaxia who are eager to squeeze into the entertainment industry to make a fortune.
It's because the number of TV stations with a high ratings base is limited, and the prime-time time slots provided are too small!
There are only about two prime time slots for a TV station in the same time period, which are the weekend prime time of Friday and Saturday nights, and the ordinary prime time of other time periods, and a few TV stations will divide it into three parts, which can broadcast three TV series with good quality at the same time.
Nowadays, the TV drama system in China is more inclined to be 'long-form', but whenever a work is widely loved by the audience, it will try its best to lengthen the episode while ensuring the quality, if the ratings decline needless to say, directly cut in half, if it can ensure that the audience has always loved it, a small number of high-quality works will be stretched to about 1oo episodes.
The pros and cons of such a situation are not considered for the time being, in fact, this has little to do with Chu Shi, who is now in the entrepreneurial period, but the final result is also guided, under normal circumstances, a TV station's two-month prime time can only supply three TV series for broadcasting, even if there is no interruption throughout the year, there is only a share of 18 TV series.
As of now, there are only eight TV stations with a relatively large ratings base and can obtain the qualification to broadcast TV dramas with large investments, that is. Without considering the brainless money thrown by a few wayward local tyrants, only about 144 large-scale investment works can be born in Huaxia every year!
And these 144 'big investment TV drama qualifications'. With the passage of time, it has long been carved up by major entertainment companies. If it weren't for Chu Shi and Fan Bingling's great luck and the crisis of Mango Channel, I am afraid that they would not even be able to grab the ordinary prime time of a slightly inferior TV station, let alone the weekend prime time!
And the current situation that Chu Shi is facing is that in order to avoid risks and prevent the betrayal of the four companies such as Huangtian Entertainment before the regeneration, it is impossible to cooperate only with Chu Shi and Fan Bingling, and in the end, Chu Shi will definitely not get too much quota.
I want to create my own TV drama production company and expand it. In addition to Mango Terrace, we need to find other strong partners to get more 'quotas'!
It is precisely for this reason that Chu Shicai mentioned this matter, although the main business of Tang Dynasty Entertainment Company is film production, it also has good strength in TV drama production, as far as Chu Shi knows, Tang Dynasty Entertainment has the 'prime time quota' of several TV stations in its hands, Chu Shi's purpose. That is, to get one or two places, so that their future company can create more works.
To put it mildly, as long as you hold this 'quota', even if Chu Shi lacks investment and actors. All can be obtained lightly!
However, although the main business is not TV drama production, all companies including Tang Dynasty Entertainment Company. They all attach great importance to this 'quota', and it is not an exaggeration to call it the foundation of the company. Even if he directly cuts off and cuts off the entertainment variety show system of the Tang Dynasty, Cai Honglei will never betray even a single place!
It is very likely that there is such a lack of such a place. Let the company lose a popular TV series, the TV station will reduce this quota year by year, and over time, Tang Dynasty Entertainment will also decline in terms of TV drama production, and other companies are desperately fighting for places, even if the price is high, Cai Honglei will never agree.
Cai Honglei's expression was firm, and he had already made up his mind to refuse Chu Shi's rude request, but after thinking about it, in this way, what he said before, the argument that let Chu Shi and Fan Bingling concentrate on variety shows and TV dramas is no longer valid.
If Chu Shi and the two plan to get involved in the film industry, then Tang Dynasty Entertainment will lose a work that can be made into a series and made into a company label, which is also a huge blow, and its loss is even better than giving Chu Shi a 'place'.
Looking at Chu Shi and Fan Bingling, who were harmless to humans and animals with a sad face, Cai Honglei felt a burst of irritability for no reason, and knew in his heart that if he did not agree to one of Chu Shi's requests, he would definitely not be able to get the movie copyright of the second season of the movie version of "Where Are You Going, Dad"!
"Chu Shi, this kid, doesn't plan to enter the film industry with "Where Are You Going, Dad", but just wants to sell at a price and get more resources, so as to better show the industry in variety shows and TV dramas!"
Cai Honglei clearly understands in his heart, but he also knows that there is no other choice except to meet Chu Shi's requirements - the movie version of "Where Are You Going, Dad" is a tempting big cake, everyone wants to get it, and even as long as Chu Shi nods, I am afraid that even the friendship entertainment company that has a bad relationship with Chu Shi will turn their rivalry into jade silk because of this, just to get this work.
"I thought that you kid was a genius but after all, he was young and vigorous, and Fan Bingling would come forward during the negotiation, and made a detailed analysis of Fan Bingling's personality and behavior in advance, but I didn't expect that your kid was even more difficult than Fan Bingling!"
Finally, Cai Honglei sighed helplessly, and could only accept Chu Shi's blackmail, "It seems that if I don't agree to one of your requests today, you will definitely not let go!" Let's talk about it, variety shows and TV series, how much benefit do you want to get before you give up - don't play with me, just tell me the real price! ”
"Uncle Cai is bold!"
It can be seen that Cai Honglei was just a little unhappy, and he didn't hate the two of them because of this, Chu Shi and Fan Bingling instantly put away the sadness on their faces, and gave Cai Honglei a thumbs up with a smile, but Chu Shi didn't answer positively, "Before I make an offer, I still want to ask Uncle Cai, what you want from our Ice World Entertainment Company is just the movie version of "Where Are You Going, Dad"?" ”
Cai Honglei's pupils shrank, "What do you mean?" ”
"From Uncle Cai's slip of the tongue just now, I think you want to get other things in addition to winning the movie copyright of "Where Are You Going, Dad", thinking of our own situation in Ice World Entertainment, I'm afraid you still plan to win the film copyright of "Voice of China", right?"
Ice World Entertainment Company only has these two works, and thinking of the highest-grossing variety shows in China today, "The Law of Survival" and "Where Are You Going, Dad" are both produced by Tang Dynasty Entertainment, it is not difficult to guess that they have taken a fancy to the movie version of "The Voice of China"!
"However, this time, in addition to winning the copyright of several future films of "Where Are You Going, Dad", we also plan to win the film adaptation rights of "Voice of China"! In fact, our company has already written a screenwriter who has written a script about a musical dream, which is very suitable for the movie version of "The Voice of China"! ”
Seeing that Chu Shi had already guessed, Cai Honglei no longer concealed it, and said his thoughts straightforwardly, looking at Chu Shi's eyes with more appreciation, he also looked forward to Chu Shi's offer.
Chu Shi and Fan Bingling want to do their best to establish the status of 'Chinese variety show leader', why doesn't Cai Honglei have the heart to forge ahead? Although he has given up variety shows in his heart, he is eager to establish the identity of 'variety show film leader' in the film industry.
The prosperity of a work is full of too many uncertainties, and novel and chic works may not be exclusive to large companies, it is very likely that some small and medium-sized companies have produced some popular variety shows, just like the Ice World Entertainment Company back then.
If Tang Dynasty Entertainment has established its status as the 'leader of variety show films', there will be small companies producing excellent variety shows in the future, and when they plan to adapt movies, Tang Dynasty Entertainment will become their first choice, which will benefit them a lot.
Cai Honglei's plan is impossible to say to Chu Shi, but this does not prevent his strong desire for the film adaptation rights of "Where Are You Going, Dad" and "Voice of China".
"As long as Chu Shi's request is not excessive, even if it costs a little more, we Tang Dynasty Entertainment are willing!"
Cai Honglei was firm in his heart, but Chu Shi and Fan Bingling on the side were silent, glanced at each other, and quickly said sorry to Cai Honglei, and ran to the side to discuss - the two guessed in advance that Cai Honglei might want to win the film copyright of several future "Where Are You Going, Dad", and they did a lot of discussions and plans, and the conditions just listed a full sheet of paper, and the follow-up bargaining was already planned, but they didn't expect that the other party even wanted to win the movie version of "Voice of China", which was really unexpected!
"Chu Shi, you should already have an idea in your heart, right?"
"I do have some ideas, but I still want to ask Sister Bingbing's opinion!"
"I want you to make up your mind about this matter!"
Fan Bingling shook her head, "The film copyright of "Where Are You Going, Dad" is in our company, and it is precisely for this reason that when we discussed the specific details before, it was mainly based on the interests of Ice World Entertainment Company, which is understandable, but the copyright of "Voice of China" is in your hands and has nothing to do with the company, so you don't need to think too much, as long as you can strive for more benefits to the greatest extent!" ”
After Fan Bingling persuaded Chu Shi to take himself as the starting point, he still made a kind reminder, "But I think that the movie version of "Where Are You Going, Dad" is just a 'variety show', if you are worried about problems in the future, you can draw a line with it as much as possible when talking about cooperation, but "Voice of China" is different!" ”
"This is a music talent show, if you want to adapt it into a movie, you must have a complete story, about youth, about music dreams, it should not be much different from ordinary movies, Cai Honglei just wants to borrow the name of "The Voice of China"!"
"If you think this work can be popular, try your best to strive for long-term cooperation, on the contrary, if you think this work is difficult to sell, just make a profit and withdraw, I am full of confidence in your vision, if you want to lose money, not everyone can do it!" (To be continued!)
