Zeng Jia saw that the effect was almost over, so he no longer dwelled on this topic, so he changed to a happy smile and said: "Brother, let me tell you a good news, "Conquest" has begun to make a profit!" ”

"So fast?" Li Tang was a little surprised.

Although he knew that "Conquest" had a very good effect when it was piloted on Blue Whale Channel, it also attracted Jiangsu TV to buy the broadcast copyright, and negotiated a very good price, 50,000 episodes, 20 episodes is 1 million.

You must know that the purchase price of ordinary TV dramas in these years is usually around 40,000 episodes. Not long ago, Zhejiang Taiwan Science and Education Channel, together with Ningbo TV and Wenzhou Cable TV, jointly won the national premiere right of "Shooting the Condor" at the price of 80,000 episodes, setting a record for local stations to acquire TV dramas. At that time, some media wrote a special report on "Why TV Dramas Sell at High Prices" for this purpose.

Of course, this is only a local station, if it is broadcast nationwide by CCTV or Shangxing, and the premiere is broadcast with an exclusivity agreement, then the premiere broadcast copyright of the TV series may be sold for 300,000 to 500,000 episodes. This kind of TV series is generally limited to big productions, such as "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "Water Margin" and so on.

There is also a kind of low-cost sitcom, such as "A Family in the Northeast", which was exclusively broadcast on CCTV two years ago, with only 70,000 episodes.

Sold to local stations, don't look at the low price, only tens of thousands of episodes, but if your TV series is popular, it can often sell dozens or even hundreds of TV stations above prefecture-level cities nationwide, and the cumulative number may far exceed 300,000 to 500,000 episodes.

"Shooting the Condor", which has a poor reputation, is currently taking this path, and it was not favored at first, and even the disliked "Conquest" naturally followed this path.

"Condor Shooting" has a total investment of 40 million, and when Li Tang called Zhang Dabeard to pay New Year's greetings last time, Zhang Dabeard also sighed to him, don't look at "Condor Shooting" sold at a high price in Zhejiang, but to recover the investment, it will have to be sold in at least ten provinces, and it is estimated that it will take half a year's work, but the reputation of the premiere of "Condor Shooting" is not good, which really makes Lao Zhang very worried.

Although "Conquest" has a good reputation, and the cost of acquiring it from Gao Qunshu was only 5 million, after all, it is small, with only 20 episodes in total, and both the popularity and the shooting quality of the TV series itself are far inferior to "Shooting the Condor". Li Tang originally estimated that it would take about half a year to recover the investment.

After half a year, when the popularity comes down, the broadcast price of the second and third rounds may be less than one-third of the first broadcast, or even lower, and the final profit may not be optimistic. Unless it is a phenomenal TV series like "Journey to the West" or "Huanzhu Gege", which has strong vitality and has been flourishing for a long time, then it is possible to collect money every year.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect "Conquest" to be so popular, now in addition to Jiangsu TV, there are also Jiangxi, Anhui, Hu Jian and a total of seven TV stations have purchased broadcast rights, with a total contract amount of 5.6 million, and there are still several provincial and municipal TV stations talking, I estimate that by the end of the year, it may be sold 15 million to 20 million." Zeng Jia smirked.

At the same time, she didn't know whether to praise the boss's insight or luck, it was just a momentary idea, but she didn't pay attention to hugging the golden doll.

"So much?"

Li Tang couldn't help but be a little speechless, and then couldn't help laughing and said, "If you let Lao Gao know, wouldn't your intestines be repentant!" ”

Zeng Jia said: "Then you can only blame his bad life." If he hadn't sold it, we wouldn't have had a chance to buy it. And if the situation was not good, it was possible to smash it. ”

Li Tang thought about it, if he really wanted to say that Lao Gao was a little unkind at that time, he thought that he had encountered a big wrong.

"Oh yes, how is the work in Jiang Qinqin's studio?" Li Tang just remembered and asked.

Zeng Jia pursed her lips and smiled: "I was about to report this matter to you, but Mr. Jiang said that this matter was originally given by you, so she didn't care, let you watch everything." ”

"What do you mean by letting me watch it, does she still want to be a shopkeeper?"

Li Tang couldn't help frowning, you said that this Teacher Jiang's heart is too big.

"You're really right, Mr. Jiang is Xiao Tang alone, and even the shelves in the studio have to be built by us. In addition, there is not even a workplace now. ”

Li Tang couldn't help but shake his head, and asked again: "What about the shares?" ”

In order to reflect the sincerity of cooperation, Shengtang Film and Television will also invest in Mr. Jiang's studio.

Zeng Jia was also speechless and said: "Originally, I was considering three seven or four six, and Mr. Jiang would control it." So I proposed a five-five, half of the imaginary number for each person, and I wanted to wait for her to make a counteroffer, but she agreed directly. Then there is a back for you to look at this sentence. ”

"Ahh

Li Tang thought for a while before he muttered: "In this way, you can help her find an office space nearby when you go back, and it doesn't need to be too big." Dial a few people from us to help her build these shelves first. The head of the studio let Xiao Tang take care of it first, and also served as her agent. In addition, I will help her find an assistant, find someone who can do something, and most importantly, ......"

Before Li Tang's voice fell, Zeng Jia smiled and said, "The most important thing is reliability, right?" Brother, don't worry, I promise to help us find a capable and reliable assistant for Teacher Jiang, and I will definitely satisfy Teacher Jiang. ”

In addition to Mr. Jiang's satisfaction, of course, the boss is also satisfied.

Jiang Qinqin's studio was settled, and Li Tang was also a matter of concern. In fact, Mr. Jiang seems to have thrown everything to him, and there must be some careful thoughts hidden in it, which is nothing more than to show him his attitude, and at the same time completely bind the two together in his career.

Of course, Li Tang also knew this, and even felt a little secretly proud in his heart, in the final analysis, it was the vanity of men who was at work.

In the afternoon, Ning Hao came over with a rough cut of his graduation work.

I haven't seen it for two months, and this product has obviously darkened a lot. Speaking of which, Li Tang admired his perseverance, took 200,000 yuan, formed a small crew of more than 20 people, spent more than 20 days, and did not rest during the New Year, and completed this rough cut version of the graduation work in his icy hometown of Huairen, which lasted for three hours.

This person has learned from Zeng Jia that Li Tang tried to recommend his work to the Cannes Film Festival, and he was inevitably apprehensive in ecstasy, and during the screening, he peeked at Li Tang's expression from time to time. Seeing that Li Tang's eyes were always focused on the screen, when he smiled with the plot, he was a little relieved.

The story of this movie called "Incense" is actually very simple, it is about a small temple in a remote area, the Buddha statue inside collapsed, so the monks in the temple went around raising money to repair the Buddha statue. After experiencing the refusal of the relevant departments and the confiscation of the funds, finally, in desperation, he began to deceive, and finally gathered the 3,000 yuan for repairing the Buddha statue, and after repairing the Buddha statue, he was told that the small temple was being built on the roadbed of the road to be built, and it would soon be demolished.

The story is full of black humor from the cause to the process to the final result. On the surface, the movie seems to tell a story that reflects social issues, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that the story is quite profound.

For example, the cause of the incident was that the little monk's shoes were broken in the middle of winter, and in desperation, he pulled out the cloth for the Buddha statue to mend the shoes, which led to the collapse of the Buddha statue. And the end of the story is that the Buddha statue was repaired, but was told that the temple was going to be demolished.

Moreover, the little monk in the film emphasized many times that the motive for cultivating Buddha statues: every family in the village kills sheep, there must be a temple, there must be a Buddha statue in the temple, and if the Buddha statue is gone, the temple will be gone, and the monk will not be able to do it. Is it okay to practice again after the Buddha statue? No, because in this way, the money for the New Year's incense will be gone, and the little monk's living expenses will be gone.

The little monk wants to mend his shoes in the middle of winter because of his desire to eat and clothe his body, and being a monk is his profession for a living, which is also the desire for food and clothing. From the beginning to the end, the desire to "cultivate Buddha statues" triggered by this desire has never been realized. To put it simply, this is a story that begins with desire and ends with unwantedness.

This film seems to have a strong pseudo-documentary style, but it is still very distinctive in terms of character building, such as the actor who plays the little monk, tall and thin, honest and wooden, especially with a pair of myopic glasses on the bridge of his nose that are very cheap at first glance, adding a bit of inexplicable joy.

For this reason, Li Tang also specially asked: "Is this a professional actor, or a real monk?" ”

Ning Hao said with a little embarrassment: "No, he is my small hair and painting." ”

Coincidentally, Diao Yinan's "Uniform" found an oil painting teacher from the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts as the leading actor, and Ning Hao actually found a painter here. Reminiscent of Wang Xiaoshuai's debut novel "Days of Winter and Spring", the heroes and heroines are not only teachers of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, but now they are also well-known painters.

Maybe the painter has a sense of lens in addition to aesthetics. Because they know what is the most beautiful and natural state.

In the process of watching, at first Li Tang felt that Ning Hao, like Diao Yinan, was deeply influenced by Section Chief Jia, and they were also small people trying to survive, every little person was so humble, he just wanted to live better, but the general environment would always be an obstacle for him one after another.

It wasn't until I finished reading it that I suddenly understood.

Compared with the pickpockets, gangsters, and stumbling women portrayed by Chief Jia in "Xiao Wu", every character is very extreme and marginal, and the edge is so unfamiliar to even the Chinese people.

However, the characters shown in Ning Hao's lens are vivid, such as the Buddha statue fell, and the villagers asked the little monk how much it cost to repair the Buddha statue, after all, every family kills sheep and needs a spiritual comfort to alleviate the crime of killing. But when the little monk reported a 3,000, the result was that the big guy, you look at me, I look at you, his eyes wandered, and no one said a word. The little people are vividly expressed, like the uncles and aunts around them.

The second update! Weakly begging for a guaranteed monthly pass!
