Chapter 503: The Wild Era of Domestic Web Dramas
"Oh, what kind of cooperation do they have?" Han Li said with interest.
Seeing that Han Li was interested, Du Juan said with a smile: "They know that the film and television copyrights of these books are in your hands, and they also know your plans for this." Therefore, these film and television companies approached us and wanted to cooperate with us to jointly develop these IP plans. ”
"Co-development?" Not only Han Li, but others were also a little puzzled by this.
Du Juan nodded and said to everyone: "Yes, cooperation can be made."
Many people have asked Mr. Han about the sale of the film and television rights of these books before, but he has never let go. So after these film and television companies hit a wall, they originally wanted to give up, but considering the huge value of these IPs. So they wanted to go around and find our film and television and special effects studios, and wanted to seek the development of film and television rights for these films through us. ”
Han Li shook his head when he heard Du Juan's words and said with a smile: "There are many people who have come to contact me and want to buy the film and television rights of these books." The main reason why I haven't sold it is because I want to stay and use it for the growth of the company.
However, we don't have the ability to develop the film and television copyrights of these books by ourselves, so if the other party is sincere and the conditions are okay, cooperation is also possible. ”
"This time, these companies are still very sincere, and one of them proposed that we can take out the film and television rights to invest in the production of TV series and movies. As for the other company, they will work with us to make these books.
Another is that they directly bring related crews into the stock and co-shoot and produce with us. ”
"Oh, it looks like these books are quite popular." Han Li said with a smile.
Hehehehe...... Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Du Juan said with a smile: "Of your books, the most popular among film and television companies is naturally the first "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which is most suitable for film and television adaptation. Although the other two have good results, it is more difficult to adapt them to film and television, so there are fewer companies that are interested in it.
However, after seeing us adapt "Age of War" into an animated film, some directors and film and television companies approached us, thinking that this could have been adapted into a web series in the form of an animated film. ”
"Web drama?"
"At present, there doesn't seem to be an online drama specifically for the Internet in China, right?"
"It seems that there are some online short dramas produced by various video websites, which should also be considered online dramas."
……
In the face of the discussion of everyone below, Du Juan said with a smile: "Everyone is right, there is indeed no drama series specifically for the Internet in China at present.
However, with the rise of the domestic network, especially the online video industry. Various TV dramas and variety shows, especially those with high ratings and popular TV series and variety shows, are more favored by major video websites, and their prices are also rising.
From the initial 40-episode TV series network copyright only sold for more than 100,000 yuan, to the recently traded TV series network broadcast copyright, which has risen to hundreds of thousands per episode, basically exceeding the secondary broadcast copyright of various TV stations.
And now the competition on various video websites is fierce, and the demand for good dramas, especially popular good dramas, is rising, and the competition is particularly fierce, and it is estimated that the price will rise. Therefore, I think that we are now involved in this field, and it is still very promising. ”
After listening to Du Juan's introduction, Han Li thought for a while and then said to her: "Then do you think you are more inclined to cooperate with these methods." ”
"Of course, it was a co-investment and a co-shooting."
Du Juan didn't even think about it and replied casually: "The reason why we cooperate with them is because we don't understand this industry and haven't explored it yet." When we figure it out, why share these resources with them.
So I suggest that we choose a film and television company first, cooperate with them, and then arrange for someone to go in and learn the whole series or movie shooting process. After these are clarified, we can set up our own team of professionals to shoot the rest of the IP by ourselves. ”
Seeing that Du Juan answered so quickly, it could be seen that she had been thinking about this matter for a long time, and she did not bring it up impulsively or randomly.
Therefore, Han Li also thought about it seriously.
Indeed, at present, domestic online dramas are still in the most exploratory stage, and there is no decent work yet. And movies and TV series adapted on the Internet, or popularity, have just begun.
Although Han Li knows that this is indeed the direction of the development of movies and dramas in the future, he also has to consider the current situation and risks.
You must know that the real development of domestic online dramas has improved, and it will be a year or five later. A year or five years ago, there were some online dramas that had good results, but they were all phenomenal, and they stood out from the crowd and could not be used for reference.
As for the films, they are also making preliminary attempts, and there are already some experimental low-budget films for these adaptations. It's just that the real big production is also a year or five later.
Han Li's books all involve war and battle plots, and the plots are relatively grand. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that some of the battle scenes in it, if you make a movie, with the current capabilities of film and television and special effects studios, I am afraid that it will still be difficult in terms of special effects production. Even if it is made, it is estimated that the effect is still not ideal.
Of course, this is only in terms of movies. Because the movie is a big screen, every detail will be magnified, so the control of details is stricter. At present, there are relatively few film projects received by special effects studios, and it will take time to practice before they can be used.
But it's not good for movies, but if you want to make a TV series, it's completely competent. After all, the special effects studio has taken on so many TV series projects, and it still has a lot of experience in this area.
In fact, according to the current level of special effects of some domestic films, their film and television special effects and special effects pictures produced by post-production studios are definitely much better than these. If he wants, he can also take on the production of special effects for these movies now.
But what Han Li values most is the good reputation that their company has always created in the hearts of the audience, even if such a movie is made, even if it can rely on the attraction of IP, the appeal of movie stars, and the company's past reputation to earn some box office.
But in the end, what is lost or consumed is the audience's trust in Han Li, which is very detrimental to their future development.
And with the audience's habitual understanding of domestic movies and domestic Wumao special effects. I'm afraid that the box office performance of such a movie will not be much higher, and there is even the possibility of losing money.
Therefore, without complete certainty, Han Li will not come to move this piece. However, although movies are not good, TV series can test the waters.
