"You mean to shoot a TV series with them first?" Du Juan looked at Han Li and asked.

Han Li nodded and said: "Yes, the time to shoot a movie is not ripe enough, and our special effects studio can't support the special effects production of those big scenes." Of course, we can also use foreign special effects teams to force the launch, but for us, the gains outweigh the losses.

Anyway, the copyright is in our hands, and it's not up to us to decide when to shoot.

At the moment, our most important task is development, not only the development of the special effects and post-production teams. In addition, we will use the cooperation period with other film and television companies to find out the situation, and gradually cultivate our own film and television drama shooting and production talents.

Of course, since we participated in the production, this film naturally has the characteristics and quality of our photosynthetic zhige. Therefore, this drama can be filmed and produced in the form of foreign European and American dramas. ”

"But the average domestic TV series is basically more than 40 episodes, not to mention the current large-scale TV series with 60 or 70 episodes, or even 70 or 80 episodes. If we follow the shooting and production methods in Europe and the United States, I am afraid that the investment is not what we can bear.

And as soon as we came up, we invested in the production of such a large-scale TV series, I am afraid we will not be able to bear it. Du Juan said worriedly.

Han Li shook his head and said, "You can't shoot long and short." ”

"But if you shoot a section, you may lose money. The reason why those TV series are relatively long is because they are sold according to the number of episodes. Therefore, the longer the accumulation, the higher the price.

As for TV stations, they also need this kind of long drama to retain audiences, so as to increase ratings and obtain advertising revenue. If the gathering is too short, the TV station will not necessarily buy it. Du Juan explained to Han Li.

Han Li smiled and waved his hand and said, "Then let's shoot a drama that can take care of both the TV station and the Internet." To put it simply, it is longer than the foreign dramas introduced by some video websites now, but shorter than ordinary TV dramas, about 30 episodes.

Isn't it true that some TV stations have opened up weekend theaters now, and this drama can go to them. ”

"Weekend theater, that's an idea. Du Juan nodded and said. The so-called weekend theater is actually a theater set up by some TV stations during prime time on weekends to broadcast some well-made television.

Two days a week, two episodes are updated every day, and four episodes are alive. In fact, the form is similar to the variety shows broadcast by some TV stations on weekends every week, the purpose is to attract more viewers during the peak ratings of these two days on weekends.

In fact, this is also specially designed according to the viewing habits of domestic TV viewers. Usually everyone is at work, and basically rarely watch TV dramas. It is only watched on weekends off, so these two days are also the most watched on TV and the highest in ratings.

The TV station, which smelled the business opportunity, set up a weekend theater by separating the two days. In this way, the weekend theater advertisement can be separated from the other time advertisements and become a separate weekend theater advertisement. And because the prime time of such advertisements is short on weekends, the price is naturally much higher than that of ordinary advertisements.

"Then I'll go back and get in touch with these film and television companies to see if they are interested in this."

Du Juan nodded, then suddenly thought of something, and then said to him: "By the way, there is something I almost forgot."

Isn't this the new movie we invested in that will be released in November, and now it has entered the promotion stage. However, there is news from the crew that there may be a lack of funds for publicity, and I hope we can add some more. ”

"Oh, did you tell us specifically, or did you tell it to several investors." Han Li was a little surprised when he heard this.

Du Juan replied: "I have told several investors, but they seem to be more optimistic about Lao Mouzi's new film and several big productions in preparation, and they are not interested in additional investment in this film."

So now the crew has approached us and wants us to add some more. ”

"These grandsons, it is clear that they want us to take more risks, they are really old foxes." Shen Chi scolded angrily when he heard this.

Zhu Zhengyang on the side smiled bitterly: "No way, who let us just enter this industry not long ago, people are bullying." ”

Hehe, Han Li smiled, and then asked Du Juan: "How much is needed, and how to calculate this money, whether it is a shareholder or a temporary loan." ”

"It probably costs more than two million, in addition to some advertising, including the national roadshow of the starring team, and some other expenses. Naturally, they hope that our money will be counted as shares, so that the risk will be a little less for them. After all, this is a small-budget movie, and everyone is not very optimistic. Du Juan said to Han Li.

Well, Han Li nodded, thought for a while, and then said, "Tell them that we have covered the publicity costs of more than two million yuan." However, this money must be included in the overall shareholding amount, and it must be explained clearly to them and the relevant documents must be signed to avoid future incidents due to this matter. ”

Hearing Han Li's promise so happily, Shen Chi was a little surprised and said, "What, you are very optimistic about this movie?" ”

Hearing Shen Chi's words, Han Li shook his head with a smile. He naturally knows that this movie is the dark horse of this year's box office, and it is also a classic case of small and big.

It's just that I didn't expect that before it was released, these investors were so optimistic about it, but went to watch those so-called big productions.

However, before the results came out, Han Li naturally couldn't say to the end that he was infinitely optimistic about this film, so he could only be secretly happy.

So in the face of Shen Chi's words, Han Li could only smile and shake his head: "The script is good, I like it a lot." But I don't know if the audience likes it or not, and whether they are willing to buy tickets to go to the cinema.

These two million are mine, and I will pay them myself. ”

"Then how can it be done, there is a risk that everyone should bear together." Shen Chi hurriedly persuaded Han Li.

"That's right, Mr. Han, it's a loss."

"Maybe I'll make a lot of money."

……

"Mr. Han, this is not in accordance with the rules. Now that the film and television investment studio has money in its account, then it should use the money in the studio. Whether you lose or make money, the profit and loss of the film and television studio has nothing to do with you personally, and you don't have to bear any responsibility. Du Juan said to Han Li.

Han Li shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, how could it be so difficult to make some money privately. Although he knew that everyone was kind and didn't want him to pay for the risk himself, Han Li still looked helpless.

However, this helplessness was seen as moved by everyone, which made everyone smile.

In the face of everyone's persuasion, Han Li definitely couldn't hold on any longer. Otherwise, if he really makes money in the future, what will everyone think of him and how will they think of him.

So he sighed and said to Du Juan: "Okay, then you can start it as soon as possible, I am still quite confident in this movie." ”
