Chapter 111: End of the Year
Ahri invested in "The Ferryman", focusing on Wang Jiawei, which is a typical market mistake!
The filmmaker thought that Wang Jiawei, Liang Chaowei's fan base and Li Yifeng's fan base were a group of people...
That is, the brain is miserable...
In fact, there are really few good works supervised by Lao Wang!
In the early years, Lao Wang's routine was to make a good film and win awards by himself, but he couldn't earn any box office, so that investors would lose money, and then hang the name of a producer and find Liu Zhenwei to make a film with a similar lineup to earn the money back!
It's just that Liu Zhenwei hasn't worked well all these years, so the king of sunglasses has found Zhang Jiajia, so it's completely understandable how bad the film is...
People can't live without touching the ground, no matter how literary and artistic they are, they have to start work and eat, the departments are losing money, how can anyone dare to invest, and they can't start work!
originally thought that Lao Wang should be a person who cherished feathers, until he spoke out for "The Ferryman", it felt like watching a new clothes of the entertainment industry version of the emperor, what kind of quality is this film, how can the king of sunglasses not be clear, he spoke first, and then a circle of stars succumbed to the capital power behind them, standing in line for a piece of Xiang, it's really funny...
Could it be that he is approaching sixty and knows the destiny of heaven?
A group of characters who are also heads and faces in the entertainment industry, who have certain resources and the right to speak, do not focus on improving their acting skills and artistic taste, do not judge heroes by the quality of the film, but are good at standing in line, and are busy touting a piece of Xiang in order to please the capital power behind it, really treat the audience as fools?
……
The end of the year is approaching, and it is time for the awards of each David TV.
Xiaobai is more sad, for a whole year, he has no works on the market - "Wulin Gaiden" belongs to the work of 2017, not this year...
However, all David TV still welcomed him very much, and sent invitations one after another, inviting him to present the award, even if it was to show up...
After all, the professional ethics of the actors discussed on the Internet some time ago, and the creator of the topic is Xiaobai.
In addition, "Wulin Gaiden" is in the limelight, and the starring actors in the play have various blog layouts, and the hot search on Weibo is the daily life of several leading actors in addition to "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and Da Mi Mi, Tang Xiaoyu @ Sun Xiaoxiao, can make fans excited for a long time...
This is probably the charm of hot dramas!
On the contrary, Xiaobai is low-key, in addition to posting some shooting tidbits every day, at most he interacts with netizens.
Even "The Ferryman" did not participate in such a thing as standing in line, a clear stream in the entertainment industry!
Although he didn't show his attitude, when answering a fan's question, he said two words 'tsk...' and was immediately quoted by a bunch of people...
Xiao Bai is different from Wang Chuanjun in the original time and space, Xiao Wang at that time was just a small character who was famous for "Love Apartment", he clearly said 'I don't like it', and he can be praised by a bunch of netizens for picking up the emperor's new clothes, Xiaobai's status now is not just a little director.
The popularity of "Wulin Gaiden" is already national, and the director and screenwriter of "Wulin Gaiden" have been created single-handedly, and Xiaobai's popularity has naturally risen several steps.
His every move is noticed!
Netizens asked him to comment on the 'celebrity standing in line', and he said the word 'tsk', and he was immediately written into the article by a bunch of public accounts, of course, he is a positive character!
Positive characters are not good, Douban comments, all 'tsk...'
Damn, there's no possibility of cooperating with Ahri...
It didn't matter, anyway, he had thought about what project he wanted to cooperate with Ahri.
……
For the studio, this year's harvest is really huge!
Although the final payment of "Wulin Gaiden" has not yet arrived, "Riding the Wind and Waves" has not yet been released, and 120 million yuan was invested by Xiaobai Blind Ji Ba - "In the Name of the People", "I Am Not the God of Medicine", "Living Together in Time and Space", the latter, Xiaobai voted 18 million...
However, Tang Xiaoyu and Sun Xiaoxiao are red!
Moreover, the studio is truly independent!
By the way, Chen Baolian suggested that Xiaobai change the name of the studio, such as Tsing Yi Media or something, but he refused.
Bai Xiaofei's studio is low-key when it sounds, which is in line with his character...
Let's take stock of your income and expenditure.
Judging from the books alone, Bai Xiaofei's studio is losing money this year, and the loss is not light, in addition to endorsement fees and sporadic income from commercial performances, the bulk is the first premiere fee paid by the TV station of "Wulin Gaiden", Xihong Satellite TV is very generous, except for the final payment, all the other parts of the payment are in place!
It's not easy!
Many people don't know, in fact, it is a common thing for TV stations to owe debts.
The current collection rate of domestic dramas is not even 50%, Haiyu Film and Television, the total amount owed over the years is as high as 420 million yuan, and the arrears of Great Aim are also as high as 300 million yuan!
According to the film purchase contract, the TV station generally pays the film payment at different nodes such as contracting, tape, and broadcasting, and pays the balance after 20 to 30 working days after the TV series is broadcast.
However, there are only a few TV stations in the country that can implement the contract and make timely payments, and most TV stations will receive at most 50% of the payment, and the rest of the final payment will not be paid until two years later.
Some second-tier satellite TV payments, that is, pay a little when you have money, or when you buy the next movie, you will pay off the money for the previous film...
Drag it out without the next play...
What can you do with him?
Therefore, many film and television companies are willing to cooperate with Mango Channel, because the final payment is paid very quickly!
Of course, if the ratings of the TV series are particularly high and bring tangible benefits to the TV station, no TV station will intentionally default...
This amount is about 50 million, and Xiaobai's personal income accounts for one-third.
Hey, so, filming a TV series is still not as happy as a movie, at least it won't be so troublesome for people to pay for the share!
The studio's income this year is less than 80 million, but the expenditure is almost 150 million, in addition to those investments, there are also contacts, publicity drafts...
"Fortunately, we only have two actors, if there are too many people, we really can't afford to raise them!"
After the account details were completed, Chen Baolian looked at it and sighed slightly.
"Didn't you say you were going to recruit new people?"
"Recruiting new people? Recruited you to make a movie with him? ”
“… There are no such plans for the time being. ”
"Then why am I recruiting new people? Talent pool? ”
“… Didn't Huang Liang always want to make a TV series, you can let him take it! ”
Huang Liang has always been Xiaobai's assistant director, of course, he has recently begun to turn regular, and he is preparing his first work, it is difficult to get along with Nie Yuan, and the face is an online drama - no way, Nie Yuan is a bad artist, and it is impossible to be on the prime time of mainstream satellite TV...
"Hey, it's another big expense next year..."
Chen Baolian squinted and looked at Xiaobai.
"Don't worry, "Riding the Wind and Waves" will not disappoint you!"
"The day after tomorrow is a media screening, will you go?"
“… Go ahead, it's okay anyway. ”
