Chapter 538: The Excellence of Chinese TV Dramas (Ask for Subscription)
Now Hirayama Narisho and Kojima Mori Shigeru are afraid that Daito Saburo will contact Xuluo in private, and then directly buy the copyright of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at a high price, leaving them no chance at all.
It is said that the price is high, but in fact, it is only relative.
Xuluo has vaguely revealed the price range to them before, which is about 300-5 million US dollars, which must be a bit expensive as an outsourced drama.
But when they came to Wuxi, saw the Three Kingdoms City here, and watched the actors and various preparations here, the two of them didn't think the price was expensive at all, but felt that it was definitely worth the money...... No, it's great value for money.
Huaguo's film and television institutions and filmmakers are very short of money, and they all know this.
Because they are very short of money, once there is a suitable enough price, Huaxia TV will definitely sell the copyright directly, which they also know by heart.
So if Daito Saburo gives 4 million or 5 million, even if there are two competitors next to him, maybe people will sell it directly.
In the past two days, when the three of them were eating and resting, Hirayama Narisho and Kojima Mori Shigeru had been probing Daito Saburo's tone, but Daito Saburo always talked about him left and right and did not tell them the truth.
The most anxious nature is Shigeru Kojima.
If this time because of his hesitation, he was rushed to curry favor with Xuluo by Daito Saburo, then all the goodwill accumulated by TV Tokyo before would be swept away in front of Xuluo.
It's going to be fun.
Maybe Xuluo will directly take his script, creativity and people, and turn to TV Asahi.
Because the contract of the Tokyo branch of the Bobu Stitching Monster is formulated in the way of Mikoku, their programs and TV series can be re-selected after the completion of one season and the second season.
Although most of the Miguo companies will not change their doors halfway, if the relationship breaks down, Xuluo will definitely do it.
I've fallen out with you, what do I care about you?
Especially when there is a family waiting to take over, people's revenge will be more unscrupulous.
In fact, Daito Saburo did come to find Xuluo.
And on the night when Xuluo arrived in Wuxi.
He was very smart, took a cigarette to the crew of the crew, and through the message, asked Xuluo to take a walk next to Taihu Lake.
It's almost April now, and the weather is getting warmer.
Spring in the south of the Yangtze River is the most flavorful, the cool breeze blows at night, on the edge of Taihu Lake, looking at the lights near and far, listening to the shouts of the boats that have come back from fishing, the breath of life emerges at once.
You can't see such a scene in Japan.
You can't find such a big and beautiful lake.
There are more than 100 mountains in Taihu Lake alone.
So Daito Saburo is quite energetic.
While watching, he said to Xuluo, "Mr. Xu, although Japan is now much more developed than China, with high technology and living standards far surpassing China, this kind of heavy historical heritage cannot be compared...... Huaguo has great rivers and mountains, so enviable! ”
Xuluo didn't want to talk to him about this.
Dare to love our Huaguo is too good, so you want to take it for yourself, right?
The young man smiled and changed the subject: "If you want to say that the historical background is very deep, that's of course!" How about it, in the Three Kingdoms City these days, what you have seen must be better than that of Japan, right? ”
When he talks about the affairs of China with foreigners, he will never be weak in heart and will not lack confidence.
Good is good, don't be presumptuous.
Daito Saburo didn't lie either, nodded and said, "Indeed!" To build a city for a TV series, tens of thousands of troops were dispatched, and the right people were carefully selected from thousands of actors...... Such a big project, we can't do it. There is no other country than China that can do it. ”
"Speaking of which, the most important thing in a TV series is the story and the interpretation of the actors, needless to say, the story must be good." Xuluo asked him, "In terms of actors, do you think they can attract Japanese audiences?" ”
"Yes!"
Dadong Saburo nodded seriously, still a little excited, "I met the actors of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it is really exactly the same as the three Taoyuan brothers in my dreams!" Especially Guan Yu, Qi Yu Xuanang, worthy of being a martial saint!
In addition, Mr. Tang Guiqiang, who plays Zhuge Liang, as soon as his appearance comes out, we can't take our eyes off it at all! Such an elegant and handsome man, isn't he the Zhuge Wuhou of our dreams?!
and Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhongying, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Benchu who came later...... All of them come to life, like characters coming out of a book! Your casting is amazing! Director Wang deserves to be one of the best directors in China!
”
Hearing him say this, Xuluo was very satisfied.
To be honest, the first time he saw the makeup scene of these people, Xuluo was also stunned.
Indeed, as Daito Saburo said, it is just like the characters of the Three Kingdoms in a dream, indescribably suitable and appropriate.
"Compared to your Japanese spoof of classical literature, we are still very detailed." Xuluo said with a smile, "Speaking of which, if it weren't for the original filming of "Journey to the West" and using an actress to play Tang Seng, the artists on our side would not have been filled with righteous indignation, thus opening the door to the filming of "Journey to the West", one of the four major classical literary TV series in China!" ”
Daito Saburo sneered.
However, he still defended: "Miss Masako Natsume is still very beautiful, and the men's clothes are also very good-looking." ”
It is rare for Xuluo to refute him, Master Xuanzang is such a holy monk, you make it a woman, not to mention that we Chinese people are not satisfied, don't the masters of your various sects of Buddhism also scold?
"Mr. Dadong, you must have come here this time to see more than just this, right?" Xuluo said slowly, "How is it?" Are you ready to join the fray? ”
Daito Saburo hesitated for a moment, followed Xuluo for a short distance, and did not speak.
After a while, he asked uncertainly: "Mr. Xu, I don't know what the psychological price of the crew is?" ”
Xuluo said: "Naturally, the more the better!" You also know that we are all poor, and the cost of the entire crew is 100 million yuan...... What is the concept of 100 million yuan in China now, you must know! These costs are huge, and we certainly hope to make up for some of them through overseas copyrights! Otherwise, there is no money to pay the actors' salaries! ”
The salary of Chinese actors is low, which Daito Saburo knows.
The shooting cost of Huaguo movies and TV series is not low, which is also known to Daito Saburo.
To be honest, he admires Huaguo's film and television drama production very much, and uses all the money where it should be used, instead of spending a lot of money to invite big stars to star.
This can only be done by the current Huaguo, otherwise it is impossible for the Japanese film and television industry, which is all handed over to the market.
For example, the most popular female star in Japan - Honami Suzuki, before last year's "Tokyo Love Story", her salary for an episode of idol dramas was 300,000 yen, but after "Tokyo Love Story", her salary for an episode of idol dramas quickly skyrocketed to 1.5 million.
The stars of Japanese benzene do not make money from their salaries, they rely on various advertising endorsements.
And Honami Suzuki's advertising endorsement has skyrocketed from 6 million yen to 50 million! And it was 9 in one go!
What about Huaguo?
Dadong Saburo asked, Bao Guoan, who played Cao Cao, took 250 yuan for an episode, and Tang Guiqiang, who played Zhuge Liang, also got 250 yuan for an episode...... The whole thing is only one or two thousand.
】
With a salary of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, it will take them two or three years to perform, how noble this is!
Thinking of this, Daito Saburo said: "Xiangjiang's Asia TV spent about 1.6 million US dollars to buy the copyright of Xiangjiang, which is already very good in terms of the size of Xiangjiang!" Of course, our Japanese benzene economy is strong, the population is large, and the price is not the same! I heard that Mr. Xu, what you talked about before seems to be 50,000 dollars per episode? ”
Xuluo looked at him in surprise, "50,000 in an episode?" $4.2 million for 84 episodes? That's not as much as the production cost of "Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book" that we're going to release this month, right? ”
"That's different." Daito Saburo smiled bitterly, "Your understanding of the Japanese film and television industry is not inferior to mine at all!" You also know how much money it costs to do things in Japan! The two can't be compared! ”
The production of Japanese TV dramas is, of course, very expensive.
For example, NHK's Taiga drama generally costs 50 million to 70 million yen per episode, which is the highest among all dramas.
That's right.
Dahe dramas are generally historical dramas of Japanese benzene, and you can watch them as TV dramas such as the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, and Warring States.
That is, Xuluo said before that with dozens of hundreds of people, he dared to pretend to be a TV series of tens of thousands of people.
Then if it is an idol drama production, it is generally about 20 million to 50 million, and the more exquisite the TV series, the more funds are needed.
In this way, a TV series with a standard of ten episodes can reach a production cost of almost 300-5 million US dollars.
Isn't this higher than the purchase cost of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?
Of course, as Saburo Daito said, the two cannot be compared.
But Xuluo also had something to say: "When you buy American dramas, you don't give prices like this!" Some time ago, when TV Tokyo came to discuss the purchase of my "Friends", it gave a price of $100,000 per episode, but my general manager thought it was too low according to the market and didn't sell it to them! ”
Actually, it's not like Xuluo said.
TV Tokyo has a very good cooperative relationship with Bubu Stitching Monster, and secondly, the Japanese Benzen people worship Miguo madly, and they like Miguo TV dramas very much.
Therefore, it is impossible for TV Tokyo to give low prices.
It's just that they quoted according to the initial contract between NBC and Boob Stitch Monster - $300,000 per episode in the first season.
Usually, one-third of the price of the first broadcast in the local area of Miguo is the market price.
But the problem is that "Friends" finally got $1 million per episode, and Chen Xiyue hopes to collect it at the price of at least $300,000 per episode.
This is inevitably a bit expensive, which is equivalent to a TV series produced by Nippon TV, and you are still a sitcom.
So the price code is still being negotiated continuously.
