487 Boutique drama and Liu Shishi's film debut
Although there is an episode of Zhao Liying, on the whole, Wei Yang is still quite satisfied.
Last year's summary was also mentioned in the previous meeting, so it is just a brief mention, and today's meeting is more about the projects that are being carried out and about to be carried out.
In 2015, the blue whale had a PPTV base, and the action was bigger than last year.
Especially in TV dramas and variety shows, Blue Whale has shouted out the slogan that from the second half of this year, new works will continue to be filed.
That is to say, every month, at least one TV series or web series produced by Blue Whale is launched on PPTV.
There are relatively few variety shows, because after all, the broadcast cycle is long, one episode a week, and theoretically more than a dozen episodes of the last season can be broadcast for several months.
However, Blue Whale United PPTV still plans to produce 6~10 variety shows next year.
These include sequels to popular variety shows such as "Run", "Sister Over Flowers", "Dad is Back", and "Happy Comedian", and some new variety shows are also being planned.
In addition, most of the above are quarterly broadcasts, and PPTV also intends to test the waters of "Happy Camp" and "Kangxi is Coming" as a variety show that is broadcast weekly throughout the year.
These variety shows all have a certain investment scale and publicity resources, and there are also some PPTV self-made small columns and small programs that are not counted.
Compared with variety shows, the broadcast cycle of TV dramas is much shorter.
Even though weekly broadcasts have begun to become popular, and the plot has been injected with a lot of water, and the number of episodes has skyrocketed, the broadcast cycle rarely exceeds two months.
Therefore, the new works of the Blue Whale TV series or online dramas are guaranteed to be one per month, like some relatively high-quality schedules, and the output will be increased, and it is expected that the minimum number of dramas produced throughout the year will be more than 15.
The relevant responsible executives are full of confidence and believe that the output of the blue whale will be higher and higher in the next step.
Ideally, all Blue Whale TV series are seamlessly connected on PPTV, like a TV station, one broadcast and the next one will start broadcasting.
And at the same time, there are at least three or more new Blue Whale works, one of which is the main hit, and the other two are counterproductive.
If it goes well, only these episodes, Blue Whale can earn 80~12 billion revenue every year, and if the results are good enough, the revenue will increase.
But this majestic plan was pressed by Wei Yang!
The plan is too radical, the output is too high, and it is very likely that there will be a waste of resources, and the whole market is so big, not that the more dramas you broadcast, the more profitable you will be.
Wei Yang's acquisition of PPTV was indeed because the development of Blue Whale was about to fall into a bottleneck and wanted to raise the ceiling, but it could not expand arbitrarily.
If you do this like the above, it will be a big burden on both Blue Whale and PPTV, and if something happens again, both companies may damage their vitality.
And PPTV is not a drama that just buys blue whales.
Other companies, such as Noon Sunshine, will also buy and focus on publicity if they have any good projects.
After all, if PPTV is dominated by the Blue Whale project, it will force these good projects to flow to other websites, which is equivalent to a capital enemy.
Therefore, Wei Yang did not rush for quick success, but still maintained a steady and steady attitude.
At present, it is good to have new works launched every month, and the next step is to achieve seamless connection, focus on the output of key schedules, and then judge how to increase the output according to the specific situation, to ensure that the best effect is achieved at the best cost.
At the same time, no matter how good the self-made drama is, always give a part of the share of high-quality purchased dramas, which can also weaken competitors.
The goal of annual revenue of 12 billion dramas alone may not be a fantasy, but it is by no means a luxury that can be hoped for at the moment.
Wei Yang flipped through the project catalog, and there are still a lot of high-quality dramas in 2015~2016 of Blue Whale.
I won't talk about his own "Langya Bang".
Liu Shishi and Zhang Ruoyun are "The Legend of Dance and Music", and the next step is to work with the Tang people to make a spy war theme of the Republic of China.
Zhao Liying and Li Jiahang are "Ming Palace Raiders".
Tang Yan, Da Mi Mi and Hu Ge are "Ode to Joy" and "Golden Jade Relationship".
Da Mimi herself also has a "Dear Translator".
Fan Xiaopang is preparing to shoot "The First Half of My Life"
Wang Kai's "Big River".
Lu Han's "Together Through the Window".
Zhang Ruoyun is most valued, in addition to cooperating with him, Ermei of Xinjiang Province also partnered with him this year, on the one hand, he and Nazha are preparing to shoot "Tomb Robbery Notes", and at the same time, they are basically scheduled to act in "A Smile is Alluring" with Rouba.
These dramas alone are enough for PPTV to show off their might.
Not to mention that there are still a considerable number of projects still in the pipeline, and there are some other high-quality outsourced dramas that have been circled by Boss Wei early and sent to the relevant person in charge, and they can grab as much as they can.
Wei Yang is more pleased, at least in terms of dramas, Blue Whale and PPTV are still very stable this year and next.
In terms of variety shows, although it has not yet reached the strength of TV dramas and online dramas, it is also one of the two giants in the industry, and it continues to fight with Hunan Provincial Taiwan.
What makes Wei Yang pay the most attention is the movie, the film project he invested in is good, but the key is that the interaction with Blue Whale and Coral Entertainment is insufficient.
Whether it is to produce or invest in movies, you can't just make money, you must open up the industrial chain, drive artist agents, and feed each other, preferably like TV dramas, one-on-one tailor-made movies for artists.
In the face of Boss Wei's instructions, although the relevant person in charge was a little bitter, he still nodded again and again.
Wei Yang also knew that his request was a bit embarrassing.
Movie coffee is not something that can be praised, other projects and directors also have their own favorite objects, and the character plots have to be broken, the artists dislike the scenes less, and the more scenes may affect the plot.
Even if it is tailor-made, the TV series has popularity and traffic, and the movie has to spend money to buy tickets, and whether the audience buys it or not is two different things.
This is not something that Boss Wei can directly solve with two words, so he just said it, but did not make specific requirements.
It's best to have some positive effects, and if he really can't do it, he won't be too harsh.
At the end of the meeting, most of the executives dispersed, and a few core executives discussed the division of the company's personnel and financial resources.
Zhao Liying wanted to stay, but after thinking about her level, she slipped away, and then quietly sent a text message.
[Can't go home at night? 】
Wei Yang: [I still have to go to the animation company to see, there is also a job at Station P, I'm not sure]
[Okay, I'll go to Auntie's place to eat, and you're going to come back to Yunhua Mansion]
Wei Yang: [OK]
Putting away his phone, Wei Yang held another hour of meetings, and finally got it done, and after looking at the time, the animation company was about to get off work.
In the past, I would definitely have to work overtime, so I simply made an appointment with the person in charge for tomorrow.
The animation company was acquired by Wei Yang the year before last, and its name is [Pink Jellyfish], and it is currently mainly producing anime and animation movies.
At present, there are two animations that have been mainly operated, one is the animated version of "Celebrating More Than Years", and the other is "The Legend of Mortal Immortals".
It was originally broadcast on station B, and it also began to be serialized on PPTV last year, and it was broadcast on two stations in a row.
However, due to the relatively strong animation atmosphere on station B and a considerable audience base, PPTV's animation strategy is not very impressive.
You know,Guoman looks inconspicuous now,In the future, it is an important subcategory of video websites,The market is still considerable,Boss Wei has a lot of copyrights in his hands,The sooner you lay out,The sooner you will benefit。
This also makes Wei Yang ready to take some measures, although he is also a major shareholder at Station B, but PPTV is his own son.
The contract has been signed, and the relationship is here, so it is impossible for him to withdraw the two anime from station B, so he can only develop new anime.
Under his instructions, the Pink Jellyfish Animation Company has won the animation copyright of "Douluo Continent" and "Breaking the Sky" with a lot of money, which is currently in production, and Wei Yang plans to take a look and give comments on the modeling.
After all, whether it is Bibi Dong or Medusa, he is quite familiar with it and can guide and guide.
These two anime characters were quite popular in their last life, and now they are in his hands, don't give them a beat.
Canceled the plan temporarily, just arrived at the parking lot, Wei Yang wanted to call Zhao Liying, and Liu Shishi's call came first.
This little lady was busy with Wei Yang for the New Year, so she simply took her parents to travel abroad, and it took more than a month to come back, and she let Wei Yang take over as soon as she arrived in the magic capital.
What can Wei Yang say, he drove to a private restaurant he frequented and ordered a few dishes to nourish his yang and strengthen his kidneys.
I have to take a good breath today!
As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he found that there was something wrong with his plan, because Liu Shishi's family was not only an artist, but Cai Yinong and her team were also at her house.
"Yo, the logistics are here, what is delicious, I'll take a look."
The others saw Wei Yang greet him honestly, and Lao Cai was bold and came up to eat.
Boss Wei quietly pushed the lunch box he was carrying to the back: "This is for my daughter-in-law to eat, and yours is behind." ”
Just kidding, you can't die on the spot when you take out this dish.
The most terrifying thing is who knows what these people will associate with, Wei Yang is just helping to entertain, and these people suspect that his body is not good, how will he go to the Tang people in the future.
put the food in the bedroom, called Wei Fei and asked him to bring some more food, and then came over as if nothing happened.
"Your company doesn't have a conference room, what are you doing at our house?"
"It's so comfortable to have a meeting here, there are drinks, fruits, and people to eat and drink."
Lao Cai was straightforward, Wei Yang was too lazy to break with him, swallowed half of the apple piece in Liu Shishi's hand, took a folder and glanced at it.
"The movie hasn't been decided yet?"
"How can it be so easy, this is Shi Shi's debut."
Lao Cai looked embarrassed, and now, although Liu Shishi's focus is still on TV series, he can't always turn a blind eye to movies.
Since last year, Tang people have been thinking about Liu Shishi's film debut.
In combination with Wei Yang's proposal and the professional evaluation of the Tang people, as well as fully considering Liu Shishi's personal ideas, he is currently inclined to two themes.
One is the action theme, and there are two projects that are currently more optimistic.
The first is the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series that has been in contact with Liu Shishi before.
The first part of this movie has been released, and the box office is mediocre, but the reputation is good, so the director planned to make a sequel, and found Liu Shishi again.
Maybe I heard that Liu Shishi had the idea of playing, so he didn't give her the vase heroine, but took Ding Baiying out.
Of course, the Tang people have also negotiated with them, with Liu Shishi's coffee position, it is definitely impossible for her to be the second female, so Ding Baiying's role in "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" will be strengthened, which is equivalent to the villain BOSS, which is very brilliant.
Although the role of Liu Shishi in this movie is not the first position, the role is likable, and it has the reputation of the previous work, and the probability of success is higher, which is very suitable for Liu Shishi to test the water in the film industry.
At present, 85 flowers have not yet made a movie, only Liu Shishi is the only one, which makes her highly anticipated, and at the same time brings a lot of pressure.
After all, Da Mimi, Tang Yan and Zhao Liying's movie results are all good, in case she pulls her crotch, it will be a shame.
"Embroidered Spring Knife 2" may not have a high upper limit, but the lower limit is guaranteed, and the reputation is likely to be not bad, it is a conservative but relatively safe project.
Liu Shishi himself recognized this movie, but the Tang people were not very satisfied, and Wei Yang was noncommittal.
Another action-themed movie is a script written by Wei Yang himself, with a theme that is a bit like Sister Widow's "Super Body", but more like "The Witch".
It's about the story of a "superwoman" with top intelligence + abilities who beats chaebols and villains overseas.
This kind of movie all depends on the charm of the actors + whether the play is wonderful or not + the rhythm of the movie + the tension of the picture, the plot is nothing, it is nothing more than revenge and beating the bad guys.
You can even knead the setting of "Speed Chase" into it and directly engage in a series.
For example, the first part is placed in Southeast Asia, the next step is in Japan or South Korea, and then goes to Europe or the United States.
Wei Yang even developed a brain hole, and let Fan Xiaopang or Zhao Liying be the mastermind behind the scenes, and occasionally the boss of a few levels is Da Mi Mi or Tang Yan.
The fight must be very exciting, and the audience can also eat melons together in and out of the play.
However, this kind of movie is easier said than done, and it is even more difficult to become a series and sell well.
This movie, which is also tentatively titled "The Witch", has the advantage of being set to be interesting, giving full play to Liu Shishi's advantages in playing, and she is also the well-deserved core of the whole movie.
If this drama is filmed well and becomes a series, Liu Shishi will not make other movies, and he will be able to eat for a lifetime just by relying on this series.
But the disadvantage is that there is too much surprise, the upper limit may be high, and the lower limit may also be low.
Even Wei Yang didn't dare to guarantee the results of this movie, in case the film was smashed, Liu Shishi's film debut would be a tragic Waterloo.
Liu Shishi himself was extremely interested, Wei Yang was conservatively supportive, but the Tang people were unwilling to let Liu Shishi take risks.
Another theme is chick movies, which is also a favorite theme for many popular actresses.
The difficulty of filming is relatively low, mainly for fan groups and white-collar students, the market positioning is accurate, and it is definitely centered on actresses.
At the same time, Wei Yang deliberately left a project for Liu Shishi this time, that is, rookie director Han Yan's "Get Out, Tumor", the script and team can be handled, and the prospects are still good.
Tang people felt that this project was the best, and Wei Yang was quite supportive, but Liu Shishi had little interest in this movie.
So the three parties each have their own ideas, Wei Yang is okay, he can accept which of the three movies to choose, the main thing is that Liu Shishi and the Tang people are deadlocked.
Liu Shishi wants to shoot "The Witch" the most, and then "Embroidered Spring Knife 2".
Tang people strongly oppose the former, and also have some opinions on the latter, preferring Liu Shishi to choose "Get Out, Tumor", which has low risk, good prospects, and highlights his personal characteristics.
Today is not so much a meeting, it is better to talk about Lao Cai VS Liu Shishi, and they have attracted some members of the team.
"I see, let's keep talking, I have something."
Wei Yang suddenly realized, then got up and slipped away, good guy, I knew that I would follow Xiao Zhao home to eat, didn't I force myself to stand in line when I came here.
But it's a pity that it's too late to run at this time, both Lao Cai and Liu Shishi are staring at him, a helper who can make a final decision.........
