Li Chuan: [We are an e-commerce and Internet celebrity company, not a film and television company, what do we do when we set up a TV series and film department? 】

Yang Mi: [It's not a film and television company, but you can also do film and television business.] 】

Li Chuan: [Yes, we can do it, but we don't have experience.] 】

Yang Mi: [Film and television are not as difficult as you think, as long as you have money. 】

Li Chuan: ... 】

Yang Mi: [What I said is true, as long as you have money, the crew, actors, and directors can be found from outside, you just need to be a producer or producer with peace of mind. 】

Li Chuan couldn't help but pout.

He felt that Yang Mi had said a word of nonsense.

Of course, he knows that the crew, actors, and directors can all be found from outside, but is it useful to know these?

Knowing this, can you make a popular TV series or movie?

It's definitely impossible.

If it's so easy to do film and television, then everyone will do it, how can it be his turn.

Also, Yang Mi said before that "film and television are not so difficult, as long as you have money", it is also nonsense.

Now in a commercial society, what industry is not rich enough?

Even those high-tech industries oriented to scientific research are also made with money.

In modern society, no matter what industry, as long as you have money, you can do it, if you can't do it, it means that money is not enough.

Therefore, what Yang Mi said was nonsense and did not make any sense.

Li Chuan had also considered "investing in TV series and movies" before, but the result of his consideration was not very reliable.

There are three main reasons for this:

1. The risk is too great.

As we all know, movies and TV series are never a good investment product.

Let's take movies as an example, there are about 500 domestic films released in 2018, and only about 20 can make a profit, accounting for 5%; is not profitable or loss-making, which is almost the same number...... This means that 90% of domestic films are loss-making.

This ratio is indeed a bit exaggerated.

Judging from the data alone, it is too unwise to invest in movies, and with this money, it is better to use it to speculate in stocks.

2. The return cycle of film and television works is too long.

A movie or TV series, from the script to the project, from shooting to release, takes at least a few years.

And after the release, you can't get the money quickly, and if you want to get the first payment, it will be a few months at least or a few years at most.

This adds up to a lot of time.

3. In the next few years, the development prospects of the film and television industry are not very good.

Not surprisingly, the epidemic is set to break out at the end of this year.

After the outbreak of the epidemic, the film and television industry was one of the first and hardest hit industries.

The cold winter is coming, and most people can't run if they want to.

In view of the above three points, Li Chuan feels that "investing in film and television" is not very reliable.

Of course, he only analyzes it from a purely business point of view, and does not involve his own actual situation.

If it involves its own actual situation, the film and television industry can still invest.

Why?

Because he is born again!

Although the investment in the film and television industry is risky, the return cycle is long, and the development prospects in the next few years are not very good, but because he is reborn and has the advantage of foresight, he can completely break the existing market rules and find business opportunities from it.

What is the business opportunity?

Of course, it is those popular TV series or movies in later generations.

In the next few years, the film and television industry will enter a cold winter, and there will be fewer popular TV series or movies, but there are still some exceptions.

For example, TV series or online dramas such as "The Hidden Corner", "Thirty Only", "Mountains and Seas", "The Beginning"; There are also movies such as "Changjin Lake", "Hello, Li Huanying", "Detective Chinatown 3".

These popular film and television projects must be profitable, and the amount of profit is not small.

If encountered, Li Chuan is still willing to invest.

If nothing else, just to make money.

He feels that he does not have the ability to engage in film and television work for a long time, so it is likely that he will not set up a special film and television department within the company, or set up a separate film and television company to lead the development and production of a film and television project.

But he can invest.

Investing is not the same as dominating.

Investment is to follow others to make money, the project is led by others, he only needs to invest money, and nothing else has to be done; The dominant is to take others to make money, choose directors, recruit actors, make budgets and shooting plans, they all have to do it, they have to worry about it.

Li Chuan can't do this, and he doesn't want to worry about it, so he just wants to invest and doesn't want to dominate.

For the investment in film and television, he has briefly analyzed it before, but he has not thought about it carefully, because his main focus is on the company and live broadcasting, and he has no time to think about these unrelated things.

However, Yang Mi's words gave him a wake-up call.

Now that he thought about it, he had some thoughts in his heart.

Among the TV series, online dramas, and movies in later generations, he is most interested in "Hello, Li Huanying".

It's not because he likes this movie, in fact, he hasn't seen this movie, but he has just swiped some videos on Douyin, and he can't talk about whether he likes it or not.

The reason why he is interested is because in his opinion, "Hello, Li Huanying" is the film and television project with the highest return on investment in the next few years.

Why?

Because "Hello, Li Huanying" is really small and big, creating a box office miracle.

In contrast, although TV series or online dramas such as "The Hidden Corner", "Thirty Only", "Mountains and Seas", and "The Beginning" are popular, they are limited by the platform, and their return on investment is not high.

TV dramas or online dramas can only rely on platform buyouts, advertising fees, copyrights and other ways to make money, and the market volume is limited, so it is difficult to make too much money.

Movies are different, movies can make money at the box office.

The market potential of the box office is much greater than that of TV stations and online video platforms.

A movie, released in the cinema, although the risk is relatively large, but the launch is extremely high, once it is popular, it can earn a lot of money.

However, movies such as "Changjin Lake" and "Detective Chinatown 3" are all big investment projects, although their box office is very high, but because their own investment volume is too large, the final rate of return is not particularly ideal.

"Hello, Li Huanying" is different, this is a small investment movie, the production cost does not exceed 100 million, plus publicity, it may have to be doubled several times, but it will not be too much, and the total investment is not expected to exceed 300 million.

A movie that costs no more than 300 million yuan ends up with a box office of more than 5 billion, what is the return on investment?

Li Chuan doesn't know the profit mechanism of the film and the specific contract details, so he can't calculate the exact value, but from his personal feeling, the project "Hello, Li Huanying", if it is operated well, the return on investment will definitely not be low, and overall, it is very worth the investment.

"Hello, Li Huanying" seems to have been released in 2021, and now it's 2019, so this movie shouldn't have started filming yet. ’

'If you don't start shooting, it's easy to invest, but if you start shooting, you may not be able to invest in it. ’

Li Chuan said secretly, and immediately typed to Yang Mi and asked: [Do you know Jia Ling? 】

Yang Mi: [Jia Ling? Acquaintance, what's wrong? 】

Li Chuan: [Is she making a movie now?] 】

Yang Mi: [It seems to be.] 】

Li Chuan: [Like? 】

Yang Mi: [I don't know her very well, I don't know what she's busy with, it's like I've heard someone else's talk. 】

Li Chuan: [Oh, do you have her WeChat? 】

Yang Mi: [Yes, what do you want to do? 】

Li Chuan: [Push her over WeChat, I'll add it.] 】

Yang Mi: [What do you want to do? 】

Li Chuan: [Cast her movie.] 】

Yang Mi: [Huh? 】

Li Chuan: [I haven't decided whether to vote or not, so let's ask about the situation first.] 】

Yang Mi: [Why did you suddenly remember to vote for her movie? ] 】

Li Chuan: [I was reminded by you, if you don't say it, I can't remember it.] 】

Yang Mi: [??? What did I say? 】

Li Chuan: [You asked me to invest in TV series and movies. 】

Yang Mi: [I'm asking you to set up a film and television department to invest and produce by yourself, not asking you to invest in other people's movies. 】

Li Chuan: [There is no need to set up a film and television department, our company does not have this business. 】

Yang Mi: [Can be expanded...... If you expand it, you will have it. 】

Li Chuan: [Why should I expand it? Our company is engaged in e-commerce and live broadcasting, and film and television have nothing to do with our main business, and it is useless to do it. 】

Yang Mi: [??? It can help you make money! 】

Li Chuan: [I can make money by doing e-commerce and live broadcasting, and I earn no less than film and television...... What we need to do now is to focus on one or two points to break through and build the relevant industrial chain and moat...... When Miki Network becomes the absolute leader in the live broadcast e-commerce industry, we will consider expanding other businesses. 】

Yang Mi: [I can't say that, many bosses will invest in film and television when they make money. 】

Li Chuan: [They are them, I am me, and I have different ideas. 】

Yang Mi: [Aren't you interested in film and television? 】

Li Chuan: [Not much interest. 】

Yang Mi: [Then why did you make "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary"? 】

Li Chuan: [Didn't I say it before, in order to increase Wu Jinyan's fans. 】

Yang Mi: [Just because of this? 】

Li Chuan: [That's right. 】

Yang Mi: [Then why do you still want to be an actor? ] Play that what Wan Sen, the chairman. 】

Li Chuan: [They forced me. 】

Yang Mi: [Forcing you? 】

Li Chuan: [They wanted me to act, but I couldn't help it, so I drove the ducks to the shelves, so I went. 】

Yang Mi: [... 】

Li Chuan: [Actually, "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary" has little to do with me, I am only responsible for giving money and acting, and the rest is done by the people below. 】

Yang Mi: [Okay, I thought you liked film and television and wanted to be an actor. 】

Li Chuan: [What kind of actor am I, my acting skills are a mess, if I become an actor, I am afraid I will starve to death.] 】

Yang Mi: [No, I see you're doing pretty well.] 】

Li Chuan: [That was the beginning, look back, you will know. 】

Yang Mi: [Did you perform poorly later? ] 】

Li Chuan: [I can't say it's bad, it's not very good anyway.] 】

Yang Mi: [Okay, I see. 】

Li Chuan: [Push Jia Ling's WeChat over.] 】

Yang Mi: [Why did you vote for her movie? ] 】

Li Chuan: [Make money. 】

Yang Mi: [How do you know that her movies can make money? 】

Li Chuan's face stiffened, and he suddenly realized that he had leaked his mouth, his eyes rolled slightly, and then replied: [I don't know, guess. 】

Yang Mi: [Guess? 】

Li Chuan: [Hmm. 】

Yang Mi: [How do I feel, you seem to have already decided.] 】

Li Chuan: [What do you think, her movie hasn't been made yet, how can I be sure?] 】

Yang Mi: [Oh, too. 】

Li Chuan: [Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and push her over WeChat.] 】

Yang Mi: [Wait a minute! 】

Li Chuan: [What are you waiting for?] 】

Yang Mi: [I pushed her WeChat to you, and you went to talk to her and ignored me. 】

Li Chuan: [??? 】

Yang Mi: [I know you very well now, you are this kind of person! ] 】

Li Chuan: [Fart! 】

Yang Mi: [You dare to say that it is not? 】

Li Chuan was silent.

Yang Mi: [Look, it's a tacit acquiescence.] 】

Li Chuan: [Let's talk any day, you give me WeChat first.] 】

Yang Mi: [No! I'm bored right now, you can't run! 】

Li Chuan: [What's the matter with you? Menopause committed? 】

Yang Mi: [You're just menopausal! 】

Li Chuan: [I'm too lazy to quarrel with you, hurry up and give me WeChat!] 】

Yang Mi: [Don't give! Unless you're happy with me. 】

Li Chuan: [What the hell do you want to do?!] 】

Yang Mi: [You play two games with me first.] 】

Li Chuan: [What? 】

Yang Mi: [If you accompany me to play two games, I will give you WeChat.] 】

Li Chuan: [Why are you still holding you hostage? 】

Yang Mi: [For you, you have to use this method! ] 】

Li Chuan: [Hehe, do you think that without you, I won't be able to find Jia Ling's WeChat? 】

Yang Mi was silent for a while.

Li Chuan didn't bother to deal with it, so he immediately exited the chat interface and began to look for people in the address book who might have a relationship with Jia Ling.

However, before he could find it, Yang Mi's WeChat was sent again.

Yang Mi: [You promised me before. 】

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and typed: [What did I promise you? Promised to play games with you? 】

Yang Mi: [Yes, that night, when we were in Changsha, we said okay, we will play games together in the future. 】

Li Chuan: [Is there such a thing? 】

Yang Mi: [Scumbag! 】

Li Chuan frowned, thought about it carefully, and seemed to really have such a thing.

Yang Mi: [Hmph, I don't believe in my words!] I misjudged you, you big scumbag! 】

Li Chuan's face was a little ugly, and he typed: [What do you say, don't you just play a game, it's a big fart, are you there? ] 】

Yang Mi: [No, you're coming.] 】

Li Chuan: [Come on, come on, you say, what are you fighting?] 】

Yang Mi: [King. 】

Li Chuan: [Glory of the King? 】

Yang Mi: [Nonsense! 】

Li Chuan: [Wait a minute, I'll play the next game first.] 】

Yang Mi: [You haven't played the game yet? 】

Li Chuan: [Hmm. 】

Yang Mi: [Didn't you say before, you play the king? 】

Li Chuan: [I played it before, but I haven't played it for a long time, and now I have changed my phone and haven't downloaded it. 】

Yang Mi: [How long have you not played? 】

Li Chuan: [It's been almost a year. 】

Yang Mi: [Then will you still play?] 】

Li Chuan: [You can get started, but the skills are not very good, aren't you a god, just take me to play.] 】

Yang Mi: [I won't take you, you specify that you are a pit goods!] 】

Li Chuan: ... 】

Yang Mi: [You haven't played for a year, how can you fight? ] 】

Li Chuan: [Then what do you mean...... Stopped playing? 】

Yang Mi: [Play! 】

Li Chuan: [Then what nonsense are you talking about!] 】

Yang Mi: [I just want you to know that you are a pit goods, and I am a god who can bring flying pit goods! ] 】

Li Chuan: ... 】
