173 In-depth cooperation with Tang people, "Step by Step Shocking" and web dramas

Baoshan, Blue Whale Film and Television Company

This is the first time Cai Yinong has come here, so he looked at it curiously and sighed.

"Yes, it's bigger than I thought, but the location is a bit out of the way."

"It's a small business, and I'll move when I have money."

Wei Yang poured a cup of tea for Cai Yinong and Li Guoqing: "Taste, a good friend gave it to me, eight or nine thousand one taels." ”

"Good tea!"

The two of them tasted it, and they didn't understand it, but at this price, it must be good tea.

"You're still running a small business? "Hello, Old Times" is not to mention tens of millions of dollars, and our company's cash is estimated to be less than yours now, right? ”

As the boss of the company, "From the Stars" is certainly awesome, but a project like "Hello, Old Times" with a small cost and big income is the most enviable.

She had tasted the sweetness of the project "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star" before, and she knew too well how cool this kind of project was.

"Be modest, if I blow too much, you should say I'm floating again."

Wei Yang made a joke and teased Cai Yinong, with a straight look.

"Let's get down to business, I invite you two to come over today, one is to settle "This Life is the First Time", and the other is to talk about follow-up cooperation."

Speaking of this, Wei Yang looked at Cai Yinong: "Sister Cai, I have talked so many times before, you know what I am, and we have also cooperated, so I don't have much to say, it is still the same sentence, cooperation is mutually beneficial." ”

Cai Yinong and Li Guoqing glanced at each other, and the latter took the initiative to speak: "Wei... Mr. Wei, we came here today to talk to you about the specific charter. ”

"The articles of association are very simple, exchange shares or something, Sister Cai has concerns, and it may not be convenient for me to do so, so let's go according to the project, just like "This Life is the First Time", both sides invest together, and everyone shares the money."

Wei Yang was kind and seductive, and frantically painted cakes: "Now the film and television company here in the magic capital, the Tang people are the most famous, and our blue whale has the strongest upward momentum. ”

"Want to be the boss of the magic capital? Where did you put Orange Sky, Ciwen, Keton, Shangshi, and Tianyu? Not to mention the upper shadow. ”

Cai Yinong was not deceived by the pie, and the above companies put aside the special situation of the giant Shangying and Tianyu, which is backed by Hunan Provincial TV Station.

The strength of the other companies is not weak, even stronger than Tang and Blue Whale.

It's just that it focuses more on film and television production, the development of artist agency is limited, and there are few hits, so its reputation is not obvious.

In particular, Orange Sky was a big company that had a hard time with Huayi, although its own development focus was mostly in Beijing and Xiangjiang, but its headquarters was still in the magic capital, which can also be regarded as a magic company.

With so many strong enemies in the way, it is not easy for Tang and Blue Whale to catch up.

"Orange Sky is already going downhill, Wang Jinhua is running away with a bucket, who still compares it with Huayi now?"

Wei Yang's words are not crazy, he knows the fate of Orange Sky, and he really doesn't take this company seriously, at the moment Orange Sky is just dying and struggling, barely trying to support it.

When the "Taiping Wheel", which had high hopes in return, overturned, it was basically completely cool.

In my impression, Wei Yang seems to have seen a report more than ten years later in his previous life, and the total market value of Orange Sky at that time was 250 million ~ 300 million, and it was still Hong Kong dollars.........

On the contrary, Ciwen, Shang Shi, and Keton, who have not yet fully gained momentum, have developed well later, and even far surpassed the Tang people.

However, these companies have their own capital behind them, and they have not yet reached the explosive period. Although Wei Yang can also cooperate with him, the benefits are not as good as the current Tang people.

"Sister Cai, don't be presumptuous, although these are powerful, but our two are not weak, join forces, do a few big votes, you can't be the boss, and others don't dare to underestimate us."

Although Cai Yinong felt that Wei Yang had blown a little too much, he was also a little tempted, and finally relented.

"Our company will focus on two projects in the back, "Step by Step" and "Xuanyuan Sword", we can come up with a cooperation, you choose ......"

Wei Yang did not hesitate: "Step by Step". ”

Cai Yinong was not surprised, after all, the two sides had been in contact a few times before, and Wei Yang's mind was not difficult to guess.

As a costume court drama, the investment in "Step by Step" is not high, and the budget given by the Tang people is no more than 30 million.

Boss Wei was very refreshing: "No problem, just according to this price, how much share you give out, how much I will eat." ”

Cai Yinong and Li Guoqing glanced at each other and gave the answer, since the Tang side was responsible for the production, the blue whale paid 15 million and took a 45% share.

Wei Yang had no opinion on this price, and nodded after a little hesitation, but also made a few requests.

First, the heroine must be Liu Shishi!

This is actually nonsense, the Tang people must praise their own sister, Wei Yang emphasized again, and he is also brushing his daughter-in-law's sense of existence.

Second, Blue Whale stuffed several supporting roles, such as Blue Whale's newcomer Lin Gengxin, who to play can be discussed, but the role must not be less.

As an important financier, this request is not too much, and Cai Yinong readily agreed.

Third, the male protagonist Wei Yang recommended Qiao Zhenyu to play.

This request made Cai Yinong and the others frown, and Lao Cai asked in a low voice.

"You signed him?"

"Nope."

Wei Yang shook his head, but said: "But the contact is almost over, it is a little troublesome for him to terminate the contract there, if it goes well, there should be no problem next year." ”

When he was filming "You from the Stars" before, Wei Yang had a good impression of Qiao Zhenyu.

Quiet personality, no moths, good business level, ancient costumes, ready-to-wear, relative Buddhism, sometimes willing to be green leaves.

Lin Gengxin is too young, and he is not very suitable for ancient costumes, so Wei Yang has been in contact with Qiao Zhenyu, wanting to take him to supplement the territory of the Blue Whale artist.

"You from the Star" has a good personal relationship, and the latter became popular once, which can be regarded as owing Wei Yang to some extent.

Therefore, in the face of Wei Yang's digging of the wall, in terms of his future, personal relationships, resources, etc., Qiao Zhenyu finally chose to switch to the Blue Whale.

Of course, due to the former owner, the two parties are currently in the contact period, and the official signing will have to wait, but the guarantees that should have been determined have been determined, otherwise Wei Yang would not give him the resource of "Step by Step".

Although Boss Wei is not a last-ditch way to do business, as a first-hand witness, he will never be prostituted for nothing like the Tang people.

"The female protagonist has already given it to you, and the male protagonist ......"

Cai Yinong groaned and was about to speak, but before he finished speaking, Boss Wei stopped him: "Let me emphasize, Shi Shi is an artist of your company." ”

“……”

Cai Yinong's words were blocked, the two families probably invested equally, one side out of the female lead, and one side out of the male lead, which is still very fair.

It's just that Liu Shishi is Wei Yang's girlfriend, so it always makes people feel that he has taken advantage of double shares.

It's hard to talk about the share, but Li Guoqing didn't give up, but talked about coffee position and influence.

"The male protagonist, we are going to find Wu Qilong of the Little Tiger Team, he is more famous and good for the TV series......"

"The Little Tigers are out of gas."

Wei Yang waited quietly for him to finish, and then said very simply: "Director Li, don't think that they are popular again because of a Spring Festival Gala program, Su Youpeng is okay, and the other two are just like that, just eat some of the old bottoms of the year." ”

So far, Wei Yang didn't say anything, but just emphasized: "This drama is invested by our two families, and the priority should be our two artists." ”

One of the big problems of the Tang people is that many high-level executives are from Hong Kong and Taiwan, even if the project does not have a Taiwanese background, they habitually like to use Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.

Wu Qilong, the original version of "Step by Step", is just that, he is well-known, and he has also cooperated with "Liao Zhaiqi Woman" before.

But the second male Zheng Jiaying, whose popularity in the mainland was really limited at that time, was stunned by the fact that Yuan Hong played a supporting role in the thirteenth and let him play more roles.

Maybe there may have been some agreement on the mainland brokerage contract at that time, but I didn't hear any movement in the follow-up.

And after the people became popular, they immediately returned to the Hong Kong circle, without giving the Tang people the face of the benefactor at all, and finally did not appear in "Step by Step" because of the price negotiation.

This TM's injustice!

Therefore, Wei Yang directly named him when he cooperated, mainland actors are the mainstay, and Hong Kong and Taiwan actors can use them, but there is no need to give such a big role, unless there are enough benefits.

"The reason is very clear, no matter how popular these artists are, we can't share a dime, so even if there are slight disadvantages, as long as they are their own people, these disadvantages can be ignored."

Whether it is Wu Qilong or Zheng Jiaying, it is not irreplaceable, and even in terms of current popularity, Qiao Zhenyu, who became popular after "You from the Star", may be stronger than two people.

At Wei Yang's insistence, although Cai and Li did not directly agree, they also said that they would go back and consider it carefully.

To be able to say that, it's basically pretty much the same, but it's just a little bit of respect.

Wei Yang did not continue to be aggressive, but threw a bomb at the Tang people, and Lao Cai was stunned.

"Web drama?"

Wei Yang introduced: "I have two projects in my hands, one is called "Mao Liar", which is based on a small cost online drama and is improved and remade, and the other is called "Soul Ferry", which is relatively supernatural, I plan to let Hu Ge play it, and the price is easy to say." ”

The online drama is now in the stage of testing the waters, and there is no need for Wei Yang to charge into battle by himself, unless the platform nods and smashes the sky-high price.

But Wei Yang can't just watch it, at the moment, major companies don't pay attention to online dramas, it is the time for Blue Whale to open the market first, make friends with major platforms, and accumulate audience fame.

Wei Yang didn't come forward, blue whales such as Li Jiahang could be auctioned, but the key was not to sell at a high price.

The income from webcasting is already small, and there is no star on top, whether it is product placement or sales price, it is difficult to negotiate.

Hu Ge is one of the hottest male stars at the moment, and if he can be the starring role, it will be very beneficial to Blue Whale's online drama project.

Of course, Hu Ge is now bent on the film market, although it is not smooth, but it is not easy to let him make an online drama, it must be to let the Tang people impress the other party.

Wei Yang is still somewhat sure of this, the main advertising dramas created by the Tang people have been filmed several times, as long as the benefits and returns are sufficient, they don't have so many concerns.

In recent years, online dramas have not yet had the so-called discrimination chain, because they are still in the initial stage, and in the eyes of some people, they are not much different from advertising dramas.

Wei Yang blew on these two scripts, and then gave a very attractive price, and also pulled out the next family to fool Tang people to invest.

However, Lao Cai was still hesitant about this project, although he was tempted, he did not completely relax: "I have to ask Lao Hu what he means......"

A few hours later, Wei Yang personally took the Blue Whale senior management to arrange a banquet to entertain Cai Yinong and the two, which was also to celebrate the beginning of the in-depth cooperation between the two companies.

Today alone, the two sides have roughly agreed on three projects.

"Step by Step" is co-produced by both parties!

One of the two online drama projects, Tang Ren only made a small investment out of prudence, plus supported behind-the-scenes production, and considered sending a brother to join.

Finally, the two sides are also preparing to cooperate on a modern idol drama together, but it is expected to start filming next year.

The in-depth cooperation with the Tang people has benefited the blue whale a lot.

not only has attracted a strong reinforcement, but can participate in the high-quality projects of the Tang people, and take advantage of the popular artists of the Tang people.

The most important thing is that with the cooperation with the Tang people, the slow development speed of the Blue Whale due to the lack of manpower in the team has continued.

The excess funds can be chased into Tang projects to avoid idleness, and they can also borrow people from Tang people to shoot their own projects and buy time for the training of their own team.

When Blue Whale cultivates enough team to support the company's project layout, internal artists have also begun to become popular and famous, without the need to rely on the momentum of other artists.

Boss Wei may still cooperate with the Tang people, but many conditions are not the same.

The goal is to be the boss of the magic capital in the entertainment industry, Wei Yang did not deceive Cai Yinong, but he never wanted to join forces with the Tang people to dominate, but planned to dominate the family.........
