Chapter 265: Continue to expand the scale of Tongji Entertainment

"How can these professional chess players be so confident in Xu Ji's new drama?"

"They all came out to support and help forward the Weite set by "Chess Soul"?"

Kiwifruit, since Congzhu took over the task of launching new dramas this quarter, he will pay special attention to the news of several other new dramas.

This time, the news that Station G suddenly launched a new drama of Xu Ji Company was naturally treated very cautiously from Zhu.

She knows Xu Ji's ability, even if it is a niche subject like Go.

But from the perspective of the bamboo assistant's cognition, it is like a drama involving his own professional field, and those viewers will generally pick on it.

How did you get to Xu Ji, it's different here.

Why did most of the professional chess players express their support before watching the show?

Congzhu also frowned, obviously thinking about what was going on.

"Zhou Yang, the champion of the Fengyun Cup, also forwarded Weite."

"It seems that the professional riders in China are very unanimous."

The assistant added again.

And at this time, Congzhu suddenly understood.

"Perhaps, the reason why they are so friendly to this drama is that in addition to the official background, they all hope to expand the influence of Go through this drama."

This is the best explanation that can be thought of from bamboo.

The official background may allow some people to help promote it, but it is obviously unrealistic for such a large number of players to speak in unison.

Unless these professional Go riders know that after the show is broadcast, it will be able to bring benefits to themselves.

That is, to be able to expand the influence of the sport of Go.

At least after the drama "Chess Soul" was announced, Go did suddenly become a lot more popular.

As for the quality of the episodes of "Chess Soul" itself, it is actually secondary.

As long as it can bring publicity and do not discredit the sport of Go, professional chess players probably have no reluctance.

In addition, the official can help publicize it, which means that there is no problem with the drama itself.

Don't worry, because this drama will have a negative impact on Go.

I'm afraid that the Chinese Go Association has also asked the Chinese chess players to cooperate with the publicity.

......

"Mr. Chi, the number of reservations for "Chess Soul" has exceeded 700,000!"

"At present, the trailer released has also exceeded two million views on station G."

Station G, with the official finalization of "Chess Soul", the progress is also smoother than Chi Jiang expected.

originally thought that this drama would not have a high degree of attention, but with the help of the official, it was hung on Weite's hot search for a whole day.

Such a start is definitely a pretty good start for Chi Jiang.

Of course, Chi Jiang also noticed that Kiwi and Penguin Video, as well as Tudou Video, also officially announced new dramas that started in the third quarter.

July is nearing the end, and the summer vacation is more than halfway through, except for station g, a website with no new drama resources.

The three major video websites will basically put their new dramas with high hopes for their summer files in this time period.

Although there is no official time yet, the possibility of a collision with "Chess Soul" cannot be ruled out.

This will be a very difficult challenge for Station G.

And although everything seems to be going well at the moment, Chi Jiang always feels a little worried in his heart.

I just hope that the data after the follow-up official broadcast will not be too bad.

The investment in this drama is not very large, and it is not very difficult for Station G to recover the copyright.

......

As Chi Jiang expected, after the announcement of "Chess Soul", it didn't take long for Kiwifruit, Penguin Video, and Potato Video to officially announce their new dramas in August.

And judging from the current lineup and investment of the drama, "Chess Soul" can only be compared with the youth campus-themed drama of Tudou Video.

Penguin Video's main drama on the website in August is an urban romance drama with fantasy colors, called "Urban Strange Tales".

The male and female protagonists in it are all first-line popular stars.

In terms of popularity and traffic, it is even above Ji Yiyang and Ran Bai.

After all, Ji Yiyang and Ran Bai basically haven't managed their fan groups well.

In terms of fans' hard work to publicize, it can't be compared at all.

As for Kiwi, it came up with a self-made drama of its own, and the lineup invited Shidike millions, super first-line to star in online dramas, and Kiwi is also willing to spend money.

No matter how you look at it, Station G relies on a niche "Chess Soul" here, and there is not much chance of winning.

Of course, after all, the reputation accumulated by Tongji Entertainment in the past can still attract a lot of die-hard fans.

Some audiences' choices to chase dramas actually have nothing to do with investment, casting, or anything.

What is more important is the behind-the-scenes roles such as screenwriters and directors.

It's just that such an audience is a minority after all.

In the end, the competition is still the effort of publicity.

"Chess Soul" has official help in publicity, but it has not lost a lot.

But compared to investing money in this area, it is still the penguin who has the most money.

Not only did the Weite hot search buy it for a few days in a row, but even some other software of the Penguin Group also had a lot of promotional resources to support.

For a while, the limelight became the most popular among the new dramas in August.

......

Penguin Video and Kiwi have obviously been scared by Tongji Entertainment.

Therefore, this time the new drama of G War is particularly important.

If the producer of Station G's new drama is not Xu Ji's company, they may not regard it as an opponent.

But Xu Ji is really a little too godly, and he can always create miracles that others can't understand.

Bi Feihong knew that he couldn't overturn this time, otherwise the opportunity given by Xu Sheng to atone for his sins would be gone.

Whether or not you can stay in Penguin Video is a question.

At this time, I naturally took out all my energy to deal with it.

As for the kiwi fruit, Congzhu also has a reason why he can't fail.

If this season's new drama can make Kiwi Fruit surpass Penguin in all aspects of statistics to become the number one, then she will be able to get her share of the rights back.

If she can't do it, then she can only be Hu Lei's scapegoat.

In fact, the most relaxed is the company CEO of Xu Ji, the producer.

But Tongji Entertainment really doesn't have anything to worry about.

The copyrights have also been sold, and although "Chess Soul" did not make much money this time, it was already a sure thing to recover the cost.

Even if it doesn't catch fire, the quality of the show itself is there, and it is unlikely to ruin its reputation.

Even You Man only cooperated with the promotion of Station G, and his mood did not fluctuate much.

On the contrary, it was something else that made You Man feel a little irritable.

That's Tongji Entertainment's next plan.

"Chess Soul" is about to be broadcast, and "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" has also been submitted for review, and it is estimated that it will be launched soon.

The biggest possibility is to be able to seamlessly connect with "Chess Soul".

Xu Ji's "Wushuang" as the director did quite well at the box office, greatly exceeding the initial expectations.

Tongji Entertainment now has enough cash in the company's account, but You Man did not dare to use it easily.

Last time, Xu Ji carried out three projects at one time, which really made her a little unexpected.

At that time, although there was still not much trouble in terms of funds, it still brought a lot of pressure.

Who knew that Xu Ji would set up several projects at once this time.

Many of the current directors under Tongji Entertainment are actually quite capable.

Everyone wants to be favored by Xu Ji and direct their own works like Yang Anran and Pang Er.

You Man asked Xu Ji before, and Xu Ji said that it was not yet confirmed, but it was very likely that Yang Anran and Pang Er would not be idle.

Coupled with Xu Ji himself, it means that Tongji Entertainment still needs a lot of financial support in the future.

Sure enough, it was the right decision not to agree to build a company building before.

As for Xu Ji, at this time he was still in the stage where the salted fish wanted to have a good rest.

Although Yang Anran and Pang Er have asked a few times, and even the actor Wei Yifa is also asking about the new project of Tongji Entertainment, Xu Ji has been perfunctory.

Tongji Entertainment's stall is getting bigger and bigger, and although Xu Ji has always been the shopkeeper, it is inevitable that he is still a lot busier than at the beginning.

Fortunately, Tongji Entertainment is currently mainly based on film and television projects, and the attributes of the brokerage company are not very strong.

Except for some artists that Xu Ji promised before, others did not sign some other newcomers.

And the most important thing is that Xu Ji always felt that he was still a little too petty before.

Although Tongji Entertainment has a lot more people than in the past two years, and the scale is also a lot larger, it is actually much different from the three major such as Phoenix Entertainment.

In addition, when Xu Ji talked to Duan Shengyu about the broadcast of "Chess Soul" on the official TV station before, the other party specially reminded him to be careful of the people of the three major entertainments.

Although it was not specified, Xu Ji also knew that there were obviously people among the three who were deliberately targeting Tongji Entertainment and himself.

Although there was some friction before, because Tongji Entertainment was still too small, the conflict between the two sides did not look so formal.

Although Phoenix Entertainment has been banned, in the final analysis, it still hasn't done much to take it seriously, just verbally.

But this time, the number of films in "Wushuang" is so small, Xu Ji feels that something is wrong.

It seems that he can't hide if he wants to, and Xu Ji doesn't plan to hide.

Even if it was the big three, Xu Ji didn't feel how invincible.

Mainly because the current Tongji Entertainment is one of the few in the entertainment industry, and it is not limited to the three major companies.

I just hope that the three major people don't really blatantly beat his idea, otherwise Xu Ji won't mind following suit.

For now, Xu Ji wants to continue to expand the company.

is similar to what You Man guessed, and it may be that the next investment in Tongji Entertainment will be the largest in history.

......

In the capital, in a dusty office, a group of big people are cleaning hotly.

After such a long time of shooting, Song Ideal was finally completed.

This time it was even more difficult than Song Ideal had expected.

His perfectionist flaw turned out to be repeated.

got such a good script given by Xu Ji, and he naturally wanted to do his best.

Many of the shots that were originally intended to be taken over and over again.

is really this "My Captain, My Group", in his opinion, if he doesn't shoot it well, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

I don't even think about whether the company can still support it.

If it weren't for Xu Ji's initiative to propose that Tongji Entertainment also participate in the investment of this drama, it is estimated that it would not be able to support it at all by relying on the financial situation of Song Ideal Company.

Not to mention the loans that are still owed by the bank.

If this drama can't succeed this time, it is estimated that the follow-up company will officially declare bankruptcy.

Fortunately, after the shooting, Song Ideal was quite satisfied with the material, and he planned to devote himself to the post-production as soon as he returned enthusiastically.

"Director Song, do you need us to contact the TV station and video website in advance?"

Song Ideal's vice president of the company, who is also one of the producers of his crew, asked.

It's not because he doesn't have faith in the show.

It's really because I've failed too many times before, and now I'm a little psychological.

Song Ideal and the people in the company were as ambitious as they are now, but after filming, the copyright of the new drama could not be sold at all.

finally negotiated a cooperation with Penguin Video, and even changed from the original star TV series to an online drama, and in the follow-up gambling agreement, the company's new drama data is not very ideal.

The cost could not be recovered at all, and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

That is, relying on Song Ideal's identity as a first-line director and the accumulated contacts, he barely made up the last chance to fight.

In the end, Song Li chose the young Xu Ji, in fact, he was still a little worried.

But after reading the script, I felt that Song Ideal's decision was quite correct.

The script given by Xu Ji is indeed quite excellent.

"You go to contact first."

"It's better to be on the safe side."

Song Ideal originally wanted to wave his hand to say that it was unnecessary.

But after hesitating for a while, I still couldn't be so confident.

After all, when it comes to the life and death of your own company, you naturally need to be cautious.

The investment in this drama this time is not small, even if Tongji Entertainment participates in the investment, but if you want to recover the cost, it is estimated that the copyright negotiations will take a long time.

"By the way, inform Tongji Entertainment of this matter."

"After all, it's a drama that the two of us invested and produced together."

Song Li thought about it and added.

"Also, the release of Xu Ji is the matter of the screenwriter of our new drama."

"There is also the news that Tongji Entertainment is one of the producers will also be released!"

Although Xu Ji's Tongji Entertainment has not been established as long as Song Ideal's company, its influence in the industry is still quite good.

Relying on Xu Ji's name, he should be able to increase the interest of these people in this drama.

"Xu Ji said that we should be responsible."

"They'll send someone over there to help."

Hearing the assistant director's answer, Song Ideal was stunned for a moment.

This is a sign of trust in oneself.

But after thinking about it, although this drama is the key to life and death for his company.

But for Tongji Entertainment, there is really no need to be so cautious.

He knows the news, Xu Ji's latest "Wushuang" has already made the other party make a lot of money.

Even if this drama really can't sell the copyright, or if it pounces, it is within the range of affordability.

It is indeed him who should be in a hurry.

It's just that to Song Ideal's surprise, within two days of the news that he let him go, he immediately received quite a huge response from all sides.
