Chapter 194: Director

When filming the Legend of Sword and Fairy before, the studio was relatively happy to cooperate with Xu Xiaofu. So this time, people hate Shui Changdong's shooting, and the studio still plans to invite her to be the director again, as for Mo Yang, although he is the studio's own person and the only director in the studio, his ability, how to say, is still not proven, or whether he has the real strength to be a little stronger, it can't be proved after all. So for his arrangement, it is the assistant director who hates Shui Changdong this time.

Mo Yang himself has no opinion on this kind of result, what he is good at is urban drama after all, just like the previous two love apartments, uh, well, this is an indoor sitcom, the shooting is relatively very simple, and it can't test a person's directing ability. However, the idol drama in the studio where he was the director and filmed was still an urban drama. At least he hasn't filmed a costume drama yet, so he can be regarded as self-aware. I don't have to be a director.

In addition, it should be said that the idol drama filmed by Mo Yang as the director and He Chen as the protagonist has now been sold, but the price is not too high, sixty episodes of long-form idol dramas, the price of the first round of broadcast rights is only just 1.5 million, and this is because Mo Yang used to be the director of two love apartments. Otherwise, this guy might be even lower.

However, there are a total of 60 episodes of this idol drama, and one episode is 1.5 million, so if all of them are added up, this drama will probably sell 90 million. Overall, it's not a small amount of money. However, the total investment of the studio in this drama is more than 100 million, after all, it is a long game of 60 episodes, so just the first round of broadcast rights has not actually been able to bring any income to the studio, on the contrary, it is a lot of losses.

Of course, TV dramas are not only sold for the first round of broadcast rights, but also for the second and third rounds, as well as the copyright of online TV, etc., but it is not necessarily how much money can be sold later. At least you have to judge it according to the results of the TV series, such as the ratings of the first round of broadcasts.

But no matter what, this drama will definitely not really lose money, although it may bring too many benefits to the studio, but it is impossible to lose money. So in general, this drama is probably the kind that doesn't lose money or make money. Well, there may be a little profit, but compared to Ouyang Xu, the difference is really too much.

This is also one of the reasons why when Mo Yang was asked to be the assistant director of Shui Changdong, Mo Yang did not refuse. After all, although the idol drama he directed did not lose money, it was not able to make much money for the studio. So the confidence seems to be a little insufficient.

In fact, Moyang can bring such results, which is already good, after all, in the entertainment industry, there are not no TV series that lose money, and there are even a lot of them every day, and this time Moyang can be said to be completely relying on his own ability to film, without the help of Ouyang Xu's popularity, it is not easy to be able to not lose money.

But in fact, in the case of Moyang, it is a normal phenomenon in the entertainment industry, and it is a normal situation.

A newcomer, a newcomer director, a newly established studio, it is impossible to make money at the beginning, almost all of them are rushing to accompany a little less, only after laying the foundation, it will take at least two or three years to start making money, and even develop in a better direction.

Where is it like a studio that eats with its face, just after it was established, the first drama had already earned so much, and in the following year, it made hundreds of millions of dollars, although it paid a lot of taxes.

This is also why there are always people who want to dig into the corner of the studio, want to win over Ouyang Xu, even a group as big as Brother Entertainment wants to poach Ouyang Xu. After all, it can almost be said that the reason why the studio can make so much money is almost entirely dependent on Ouyang Xu.

"To be honest, in fact, I am not too willing to cooperate with an actor like Ouyang Xu, because with an actor like Ouyang Xu, although the ratings are guaranteed, others often see Ouyang Xu's existence, so that they will ignore the director's ability and credit." Xu Xiaofu sat on the side of the face-to-face eating studio, looked at Ouyang Xu, shook her head and said to Xie Manya.

"You can't say that, the success of the Legend of Sword and Fairy will make a lot of difference to Director Xu's qualifications." Xie Manya said with a smile.

"I'm not just looking at my qualifications, or rather, I'm ambitious, and the work I want to shoot is simply my Xu Xiaofu's work in the eyes of others, rather than being seen by others as the reason why I have this kind of achievement is entirely because of a certain actor. This is undoubtedly a denial of me as a director. Xu Xiaofu shook her head.

Probably young, or something, Xu Xiaofu, as a director, doesn't care much about whether her works make money, etc., what she cares about is her name. If she is asked to make a movie, there are two options, one is a movie that can be a big hit at the box office but the reputation is not very good, and the other is a work with a good reputation but a poor box office, but it can win awards at the film festival. Xu Xiaofu's words would probably choose the latter.

This kind of person, whether it's emotional, or individual, or even Wenqing or something, it's casual. Even, in fact, there are actually a lot of such directors, especially in the group of directors who have just entered the beginning of the 21st century, almost all of them are like this bear, they don't care whether the subject matter they shoot will be popular, or even whether they will pass the review of the relevant departments, just shoot it on their own, and then they may go abroad to participate in the film industry, and in the end, even if they can get some kind of award, they will end up being banned by China.

Xu Xiaofu has not reached this level, but there are still a lot of similarities in essence.

"But anyway, you're already planning to be the director of this show, aren't you?" Ouyang Xu said lazily, Xu Xiaofu doesn't care what attitude she has, no matter how Ouyang Xu is, anyway, it's good that she can be a director, even if she has an opinion in her heart, with her seriousness about TV series and movies, she will do her best to shoot, so she doesn't need to worry about the quality of this drama.
