Chapter 191: Separation of Production and Broadcasting

Xiao Ran is also very humble and said: "I personally feel very honored to be able to cooperate with Yanjing TV, and I myself am also known to the audience through your station's Voice of China program, on this issue, I have to thank your station, and the reason why this "Dragon Babu" is so good is also the credit of director Li Shengtian......"

"If it weren't for Mr. Xiao's martial arts novels being well written, then it would be difficult for us to support them well, and you are still too humble on this point, but since Mr. Xiao thinks that "Dragon Babu" will be filmed to your satisfaction, then whether we can cooperate again next, I believe that many audiences are still waiting for Mr. Xiao's new martial arts drama to be launched, and we can talk ......about the copyright fee again."

This is the first reason why Li Xianyan made an appointment with Xiao Ran: he wanted to talk about the adaptation of martial arts novels.

And the reason why Xiao Ran has been reluctant to sell the copyright of other martial arts novels is that in addition to Li Shengtian no longer having time to shoot new dramas, he actually has other ideas.

At this time, Xiao Ran also said directly: "Mr. Li, in fact, a novel is like the author's child, no matter who is handed over to shoot it, if you can't control it, you still feel a little uneasy......

Hearing Xiao Ran say this, Li Xianyan took the opportunity to say: "What does Mr. Xiao mean that he wants to be the director of martial arts dramas?" To be honest, I just watched "Huang Feihong: Lingyun Ambition" directed by Mr. Xiao recently, which shows your strength, so if you are willing to join our TV station, you are naturally welcome. ”

Xiao Ran didn't expect Li Xianyan to actually propose to solicit, and he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, but with his current fame. There is a cooperation with the TV station, but it is not too much. So you don't have to be too scrupulous when you talk: "Mr. Li misunderstood, I mean that the current TV drama production of Yanjing TV is in the form of zuò." Most of them are made by TV stations, but it seems that a few of them are imported from outside, right? ”

Li Xianyan didn't understand what Xiao Ran meant by this, so he could only nod and say, "That's true, I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to be quite clear about the situation of our TV station." ”

Xiao Ran not only knew that in fact, when he came, he had already watched a few jù, don't look at the ratings of "Dragon Babu", but it relied on the popularity accumulated by Xiao Ran's martial arts novels!

This is also the reason why Li Xianyan was the first to talk about this topic today, perhaps in his opinion. Buying the right to adapt Xiao Ran's novel is far more important than inviting Xiao Ran to The Voice of China as a mentor, especially if Xiao Ran can be recruited, it will be even more perfect.

Of course, this is just his wishful thinking, with Xiao Ran's status that he can sell tens of millions of dollars for any script he writes now, it is naturally impossible to take a break to shoot a TV series, but Xiao Ran has another plan, that is, a self-made TV series on Yanjing TV, and many ratings are not good. On the contrary, the ratings of new dramas introduced from outside are better, so there have always been various different voices in the TV station.

That is, I hope to achieve the separation of production and broadcasting!

In other words, outsourcing the filming of TV dramas to an outside independent production company will reduce the fixed salary of so many actors in the TV station, and reduce the burden on the operation of the TV station!

Although the real boss behind the TV station is the Huaxia government. But as the largest TV station in the country, if it keeps losing money, it doesn't look good.

And Xiao Ran saw Li Xianyan talking about this issue. simply said: "In fact, Mr. Li also knows that the separation of production and broadcasting is an inevitable need for the development of the global radio and television industry, and I have also seen that Yanjing TV is also making similar changes." So I hope that the new martial arts drama will be produced independently by us Xiao Shi, and then it can be premiered on Yanjing TV when the time comes......"

Li Xianyan didn't expect Xiao Ran to ask such a question: "But as far as I know." Mr. Xiao's three film companies don't have so many actors to support you in filming TV series, after all, TV series are different from filming movies, and the number of actors will be more, for example, there are more than 100 characters in "Dragon Babu"! ”

Actor resources are also one of the biggest problems in Xiao Ran's filming of TV series now, Xiao Ran has a lot of scripts in his head, but actor Xiao Ran can't just go to the street and pull someone to act.

However, Xiao Ran has his thoughts on this point: "Mr. Li is reasonable, as far as I know, you have always provided actors to the film companies under the Encyclopedia Cinema Line, because the actors of Yanjing TV have signed long-term contracts, and in the whole process of cooperation, you can get a cut of the actors' salaries, which is also a good thing for you, I hope to be able to give us the same cooperation treatment as Xiao Shi......"

This is also the reason why Xiao Ran asked to shoot the TV series independently, the purpose is to ask for the actor resources under Yanjing TV.

You must know that the operation of Yanjing TV is still a traditional TV station model, that is, new students are signed from major film and television schools, and then signed in the form of contracts and put them in the TV station, starting from ordinary tricks, and one by one has enough time to hone their acting skills, so Yanjing TV is also the most actor resources.

This is also a point that Xiao Ran values, that is, he hopes to establish a certain amount of cooperation and be able to turn Yanjing TV into a place for actors.

For example, when Xiao Ran is filming a movie now, there should be such a situation, he still has the resources of the director and the main actors, Xiao Jiaban himself is a big treasure trove, and now after the name is made, there are also other dragon and tiger martial artists and actors who have joined Xiao Jiaban, and they can train actors by themselves.

But the development time required is relatively long, and the actors who join the Xiao family are generally older, because the young resources are all in the TV station, and Xiao Ran does not have time to dig people out of the film and television academy like a TV station and then slowly cultivate.

Although this is a very necessary practice in the long run, it cannot change the current shortage of actors, especially Xiao Ran's speed of making movies is too fast......

Because young actors can play older roles through guò makeup, which is easier for the audience to accept, but older actors play younger roles, and there is a feeling of old cucumbers painted green, which will only disgust the audience!

Seeing that Li Xianyan was still thinking about it, Xiao Ran continued to add: "The actor's contract is still in the hands of the TV station, you can use the business methods of the brokerage company to turn the contracted actor who originally caused the burden into a money-making resource, not only the actor, but even the director of the TV station can also operate in the same way......"

The directors in Yanjing TV, such as Li Shengtian and Qi Xinyi, have signed contracts with TV stations, but they don't have long-term contracts with actors who can often be as long as ten years.

Li Xianyan nodded and said: "I personally agree with your point of view, the separation of production and broadcasting can strengthen the freshness of the drama from a certain point of view, as well as improve the audience's enthusiasm for watching." ”

After all, the works produced by different film and television production companies are naturally different, and it is a problem to be able to give the audience a sense of freshness, and the most exciting thing for Li Xianyan is that since the production and broadcasting are separated, the TV station does not have to pay for the adaptation, and the burden of actors and directors who have signed too many contracts at present can also be divided into a part, it can be said that in terms of interests, it is also very beneficial to Yanjing TV, and there is only one problem left.

"So Mr. Leigh agrees with me?"

"I personally agree, but I am not the sole proprietor of the entire TV station, I can hold a meeting with other high-level leaders to make a decision, but there is a problem, that is, if the production and broadcasting are separated, then if the TV series purchased is not rated enough, who will be responsible for the loss of our TV station?"

Xiao Ran smiled confidently: "If Mr. Li is not worried about Xiao Ran's ability, then he can change to settle according to the ratings of each episode when it is broadcast, that is to say, if the ratings are high, the fee paid by your station to the independent zuò company will be higher, if it is low, it can be relatively less, and if the ratings are as low as a level, it can even be without money!" ”

Xiao Ran has a lot of classic TV series in his previous life, plus he can also adapt the martial arts novels he has at hand, so he has a certain confidence in the ratings, so he will propose such a cooperation method!

"If that's the case, I'm sure it's not a big problem to convince the other high-ups, and I'll do my best to give you news."

Although Xiao Ran could not be recruited, and Xiao Ran's martial arts novel adaptation rights were not bought, the current cooperation can be regarded as a reform test plan for Yanjing TV, and the two sides have reached a preliminary consensus.

At this time, Li Xianyan also picked up the wine glass and said: "I believe that with Mr. Xiao's current reputation, the probability of this plan being successful is very high, I wish our cooperation is successful and have a toast first!" ”

Xiao Ran picked up the wine glass and touched it, and then drank it all.

This arrogance of drinking also made Li Xianyan have to admire, this young man has actually been paying attention to him since he was a good voice in China!

At that time, Xiao Ran kept writing new songs, and he was also able to write very popular serialized martial arts novels on "Minbao", which made people can't help but praise him for being a young man who is a genius.

And now when he can talk about cooperation with TV stations, these cooperation plans come up with, coupled with the fact that the three film companies at hand are well managed, and even the huge Yida Group can't beat his idea, Xiao Ran has already shown the demeanor of a mature businessman, this level appears in the body of a nineteen-year-old boy, it can only be said that God is too partial to him.

Li Xianyan, who admired Xiao Ran very much, also put forward the second reason why he came to find Xiao Ran at this moment.

"Mr. Xiao, in fact, I came to you today, and I want another thing, that is, on behalf of the program team of Yanjing TV Huaxia Good Voice, I invite you to be the mentor of the second session, I don't know if you can agree to me?" (To be continued......)
