Chapter 145: The Legend of Ryazan
Because according to the normal situation, Yanjing Satellite TV is the largest TV station in China, as long as they come forward to buy the copyright, ordinary writers will be willing to choose to cooperate with Yanjing Satellite TV.
And the most talked about by the two sides is the price issue, Shao Hua was already ready to talk about it with Xiao Ran, but he didn't expect Xiao Ran to ask a question of who was responsible.
So Shao Hua said: "I haven't been notified of this yet, but this period drama should be a very famous TV drama director in charge." ”
It turns out that Yanjing Satellite TV's TV drama production method is not as simple as ordinary TV stations, but simply buys ready-made TV series that have been filmed with film and television production companies, but some are like TVB TV stations in Xiao Ran's previous life, and they are more keen to buy the copyright to shoot by themselves.
So the TV station also signed a lot of TV drama directors, and Xiao Ran just wanted to ask clearly, which director will be handed over to shoot, he has watched a lot of TV series in this world now, and he still has some understanding of some TV drama directors, and he doesn't want "Dragon Babu" to be handed over to an unqualified director to operate because of his own negligence.
After hearing that Shao Hua didn't know, Xiao Ran put forward his opinion: "Actually, I have also watched a lot of TV series produced by your TV station, to be honest, I think there is a director named Li Shengtian who is not bad, I have watched his "Iron and Blood Dart Game" and "Yihai Madness", if I can, I hope that "Dragon Babu" will be handed over to this director to be responsible, if this problem Yanjing Satellite TV can agree, we will talk about the price of buying the copyright." ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ran no longer talked to Shao Hua about related issues. Instead, they chatted about some more personal topics with each other, although the two had known each other for a relatively shallow time. But Xiao Ran is still optimistic about the host's ability.
Soon, Shao Hua communicated with the senior management of the TV station through his mobile phone, and then said to Xiao Ran: "No problem." Just now, the leader told me on the phone that the original idea was also to be handed over to director Li Shengtian! You're really heroes. ”
"That's great."
At this time, Xiao Ran's fame was already extraordinary, so although it was only the first novel adapted into a TV series, the final copyright fee was not low, as many as seven figures.
And the director Li Shengtian enabled by Yanjing Satellite TV is also Xiao Ran's most recognized TV drama director in the world, in the ranks of the filming directors of the entire TV series, his status is similar to Xu Guangwen in the film industry, if "Dragon Babu" is handed over to him to shoot, it will definitely make those audiences who don't read martial arts novels also like the plot of this book and like the characters in the book. This is why Xiao Ran is so insistent.
……
After negotiating the filming of the TV series "Dragon Babu", Xiao Ran had another income, although for the time being, this cash flow income is no longer in Xiao Ran's eyes.
You must know that Xiao Ran is now a real six-star music creator!
On the night of the finals of The Voice of China alone, after Wu Zhen and the other three mentors sang his work, the number of paid downloads skyrocketed by more than 20 million, and the director Xiao Ran got as much as seventy percent of it at once, more than 70 million!
Moreover, Xiao Ran himself has become a six-star singer, and the number of paid downloads of his works has already reached more than 200 million, which means the income of Tianlai.com alone. It's already close to 200 million.
Now, in addition to the continuous strengthening of his position in the film industry, the amount of investment that Xiao Ran can use is also increasing, which is why Xiao Ran began to set up Zhengying Film Company.
Because he is qualified enough to be independent of the Yida Group, and now Lu Yuesheng needs to think about how to appease Xiao Ran. And it's not like before, even if Xiao Ran is disobedient, he can have a way to suppress Xiao Ran. made him unable to get along in the film industry.
Now Xiao Ran's pace is getting faster and faster, and it is becoming more and more stable. Approaching the end of November, "The Legend of Ip Man" was finally released. The total box office is more than 37 million, although it is not as good as "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but it is just like Tang Jie, a fan of Xiao Jiaban, analyzed, because although the publicity of the two dramas is about the same, "The Legend of Ip Man" still lacks actors with more box office appeal.
Although Xiao Yuanshan acted very well, before this he was just a dragon and tiger martial artist debut, and only recently played a supporting role in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", although it was well received, but his influence was always limited, so it is normal that he can't pull the box office.
However, through the success of "The Legend of Ip Man", at least Xiao Yuanshan can join the ranks of first-class action actors, although he is over forty years old, but because of proper maintenance, coupled with the actor's acting lifespan, it is now Xiao Yuanshan's spring, in fact, it has just begun.
As for Liu Kui, the fourth senior brother who played the role of translator Li Zhao in the movie, he was also sought after by many fans because of his great role, and now he is already one of the actors who are recognized as the Golden Dragon Award of the Golden Year and the most powerful to compete with Xiao Yuanshan for Best Supporting Actor.
So this movie also made the members of the Xiao family class gain a lot, the investment in the whole drama is more than 80 million, after deducting the share with the theater party, the take-home profit is more than 170 million, and after deducting the overall investment, there is only less than 90 million, and among these 90 million, Xiao Ran has no capital investment, and he can already get nearly 40 million dividends!
This is nearly 40 million shares, even for the current Xiao Ran, it is not a small amount, and the box office of "Mr. Zombie" is estimated to be nearly 200 million, and the investment in the whole drama is only 30 million, that is to say, Xiao Ran can get nearly 30 million in the future!
And in addition to the monetary share, these two dramas also let Wu Zhengying take the position, and can already set up his own film company, which is independently invested by Xiao Ran, Wu Zhengying accounts for a small part of the equity, but the biggest investor and beneficiary is still Xiao Ran.
In addition, his father Xiao Yuanshan, the fourth senior brother Liu Kui, and the seventh senior brother Yaoyang have now begun to accumulate some hardcore fans, and now it can be said that the day is not far from the throne!
This is already a fabulous growth rate in the film industry, and Xiao Ran's expansion will go faster and faster, in addition to Zhengying Film Company, Xiao Ran is also ready to once again bring out other brothers who can cooperate with him, open a new film company independently, accelerate the accumulation of chips in their hands, and have a dialogue with Yida Group at the same level!
After a year's accumulation, Xiao Ran's total net worth now has more than 300 million, which is enough to start making new movies independently, and at this time, good news also came from the struggle film company, and the "Legend of Ryazan" handed over to the eighth master has finally been filmed, and the premiere will be held in two days.
This movie Xiao Ran was originally based on a kung fu movie "The Loser" in his previous life, which mainly told Wing Chun, as the story prototype, because this drama mainly tells the story of a generation of grandmaster Mr. Ryazan, so in order to echo Xu Guangwen's "The Legend of Ip Man", Xiao Ran changed it to this new name.
Moreover, there is also a reason that in this world, among the representatives of Wing Chun, the most prominent is Mr. Ryazan from Foshan, so this title can attract some kung fu lovers at all.
As the screenwriter and producer of "The Legend of Ryazan", Xiao Ran is also very responsible, and has drawn all the action scenes into storyboard scripts, and has been to the crew to watch them several times, just to grasp the overall trend and context.
THEN AS THE EDITOR AND SCREENWRITER, XIAO RAN STILL HAS TO ATTEND THE PREMIERE OF THE MOVIE "THE LEGEND OF RYAZAN", THE TOTAL INVESTMENT OF THIS FILM IS STILL MORE THAN 70 MILLION, IN ADDITION TO THE SHOOTING COST, MORE MONEY IS SPENT ON PUBLICITY, AND BECAUSE OF "KUNG FU STYLE" AND XIAO RAN DEMONSTRATED THE WING CHUN ON THE "SHAO HUA APPOINTMENT" PROGRAM, THE AUDIENCE IS ALREADY FULL OF EXPECTATIONS FOR THE RELATED WING CHUN MOVIES.
And "The Legend of Ip Man", which is also based on Wing Chun, has already been screened and has been widely praised by the audience and critics, so now fans are beginning to look forward to the new Wing Chun movie, and the launch of this "Legend of Ryazan" happens to be the best opportunity.
And Xiao Ran also learned a new publicity technique from the origin Chinese network, that is, a bet similar to the ring, of course, the bet is on whether "The Legend of Ryazan" can break the final box office record of "The Legend of Ip Man".
This time the bet on Xiao Ran was directly arranged on the Star Art City's own website, of course, the release time was ten days before the release of the movie, and the deadline was the day of the premiere, and this time the bet activity Xiao Ran played more handy than the original Chinese online!
Because of the monthly pass war on the origin Chinese network, to put it bluntly, it is only tens of thousands of monthly tickets at most, if you exchange tips for monthly tickets, as long as you tip millions, you can already get 10,000 monthly tickets, and minutes can affect the overall situation.
Therefore, the origin of the noon online bet, must be limited in amount, otherwise the bet on the reader will easily reach a consensus in private, so as to manipulate the result, although the website can get a certain publicity role, but it will suffer a great loss.
But the bet on the two movies is not so easy to operate, because "The Legend of Ip Man" alone has accumulated more than 37 million box office, such a number is not something that a few fans can control privately after betting on it, so even if they can mobilize some people to boycott "The Legend of Ryazan", so as to bet on the victory of "The Legend of Ip Man", it is difficult to affect the final result.
The reason why such a betting action can be launched, in fact, the most important thing is that Yida Group itself has the gaming industry qualification certificate granted by the Chinese government, so the number of gambling does not reach the standard of more than 20,000 yuan per person, and you can directly launch gambling activities on your own website.
But Xiao Ran does not expect such betting activities to make money, but at least the publicity effect should be strong, and the origin Chinese network is already a successful example. (To be continued......)
