Chapter 500: The Demon Boy Descends

In addition to the two movies, the company's "You Are My Glory" produced last year has successfully sold the premiere rights and network rights of satellite TV.

This idol drama cooperated by Gu Wei and Reba is obviously favored by everyone, and after watching the film, all platforms think that [You Are My Glory] will replicate the glory of [A Smile is Alluring] in the summer of 15.

Needless to say, Gu Wei's fame and ability to lead dramas, Reba's popularity has been rising by taking advantage of the fire of [Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms], and the cooperation between "Yehua" and "Bai Fengjiu" will definitely attract the attention of countless audiences.

Because of this, the competition between various platforms was once very fierce when it came to quotations in the later stage.

In the end, the network copyright was won by Tengxun Video at an exaggerated price, and even the joint offer of LeTV and Youku failed to compete with it.

Gu Wei also understands this very well, although [You Are My Glory] is an exclusive production of [Wei Mingxia], but the content is a bit customized by Tengxun, and a drama that advertises the game of Tengxun cannot be played on Tengxun's own platform in the end, it will be too funny.

So this time, Tengxun Video simply did not cooperate with other platforms, and won the exclusive network broadcast right.

In terms of local satellite TV, Dragon TV and Blueberry TV won the joint premiere right, which is also the second cooperation between the two satellite TVs after [Three Lives and Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms].

The final transaction amount is 15 million for a single episode, and the total copyright fee is 480 million.

This price has set a record for the copyright fee of a single episode in the field of TV dramas in recent years.

It's a pity that [You Are My Glory] only has a total of 32 levels, which can't be compared with the [Three Lives and Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms] with a total of 58 episodes, and the 72-level [Chu Qiao Biography].

Although the price of a single episode exceeds them, the total copyright fee is still much worse.

The copyright fee of [Chu Qiao's Biography] is 612 million, and [Three Lives and Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms] is an even more exaggerated 754 million.

[You Are My Glory] was set by Dragon TV, Blueberry Channel and Tengxun Video for the summer file in July this year, which is almost the same as the broadcast time of [A Smile is Alluring] two years ago, and it seems that several parties are committed to copying the explosive process of [Weiwei] back then.

Gu Wei sat in the boss's chair and kept looking at some documents sent by the assistant.

If 2016 is a bumper year for [Wei Mingxia] in the film industry, there is [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] at the beginning of the year, [Detective Chinatown 2] in the middle of the year, and [Love Saint] at the end of the year, the box office of the three films has been a big hit, and [Tang Detective 2] even sat on the throne of the Chinese film box office champion, then 2017 is destined to be a bumper year for the company in the field of TV dramas.

The New Year's drama [Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms] was a phenomenal hit, [Chu Qiao's Biography] was launched in May, and [You Are My Glory] was released in July.

In addition to these three company-controlled TV series, Gu Wei's anti-corruption drama [In the Name of the People] will also be launched on Mango Channel at the end of this month.

Another reasoning suspense drama [Chasing the Murderer in the White Night] has now negotiated the network copyright with iQiyi, and plans to start broadcasting in August in the second half of the year.

To be honest, Gu Wei doesn't make much money from these two TV series that are not controlled by the company, probably only about double the investment, but he values the influence and super high reputation generated by the two dramas more.

The copyright fee under the follow-up long-tail effect is the bulk of the money made by these two dramas.

The only thing that made Gu Wei a little suspicious was that as far as he knew, although the original time and space [In the Name of the People] was popular, the TV series had not been rebroadcast since its premiere on Mango Channel.

Although the follow-up drama was not banned, it was obviously restricted from being replayed.

If things still develop according to the original time and space, it will be difficult for [In the Name of the People] to bring more benefits to Gu Wei in the future.

But he didn't care too much, he invested in a good drama, made money, and relied on the role of "Gao Xiaoqin" to praise Zeng Li, no matter how you look at him, he made a lot of money.

Moreover, because of his investment in [in the name of the people], he also met Gao Yafu and Li Lu, who are all very capable producers and directors in the circle.

Especially director Li Lu, after filming "In the Name of the People", he will also direct "Patrol Inspection Team" and "The World" in the future.

filming a reality-themed TV series, this is definitely one of the best directors in the circle.

Gu Wei's previous directors with a good relationship basically made idol dramas, like Lin Yufen, Wu Jinyuan, Liu Junjie, they are good at ancient puppets, and they can't shoot period dramas with realistic themes such as "Parents Love" and "Golden Wedding".

Since Gu Wei's debut, the TV series he has filmed are basically idol dramas, and only one [Langya Bang] is half a drama.

As he grows older, he will definitely shoot period dramas with realistic themes in the future, after all, it is definitely not possible to rely on idol dramas if he wants to win awards.

In the morning, I processed some documents that needed to be signed, and had a simple meal at noon.

In the afternoon, Gu Wei came downstairs [Wei Mingxia Animation Production Company].

Since the beginning of 2014, he dug dumplings and the whole team came over, and set up an animation production company, 3 years have passed since then, and the animation masterpiece [Nezha's Demon Boy Descends] has finally been completed.

After Gu Wei got the news from the assistant, he couldn't wait to come over and wanted to see the finished film.

In the screening room of [Wei Mingxia Animation Production Company], Gu Wei, accompanied by dumplings and two animation company executives, watched [Nezha's Demon Boy Descends] together.

The two hours passed quickly, and the lights in the screening room came on.

Gu Wei applauded with a smile on his face.

The dumpling director next to him breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his boss's reaction, and applauded happily.

Since being poached by Gu Wei, he has devoted himself to making this animated film, and has spent more than 100 million yuan inside and out in 3 years.

Now that the boss is satisfied, this first hurdle has passed, and it will be seen what kind of box office result the movie will have when it is released.

"Director Yang, congratulations, this animated film is very well made, I believe that there will be a good result in the later release"

This [Nezha's Demon Boy Descends] is basically the same as the original in the main line, but the details have been slightly changed, but the story is more reasonable and full, and there is almost nothing wrong with it.

For example, at the beginning of the original version, the people of Chentangguan hated Nezha a little abruptly, and this version has a section of the Yin woman to eradicate the eel essence, although it is not long, but it can reflect that the monster has caused great harm to the local people, and many people's parents and children are killed by the monster, so the local people hate the monster very much.

"Mr. Gu, you have won the award, thanks to the company's support in terms of funds and manpower, and in the later stage, you found the best special effects company in China for the movie, so that you can have the current effect."

The dumpling director said modestly with a smile.

"Special effects and everything are a plus, a good story core is the key to the success of a movie, and [Nezha] has this kind of core!"

Gu Wei sighed.

"I especially like the sentence Shen Gongbao said in the movie, 'The prejudice in it is a seat, no matter how hard you try, you don't want to move'!"

The two chatted a few more words, and the dumpling director asked: "Mr. Gu, when does the company plan to arrange for [Nezha] to be released?" ”

After the film is made, what kind of box office results can be achieved has naturally become the most concerned thing for the dumpling director.

Gu Wei thought about it.

"To be honest, I have high expectations for [Nezha's Demon Boy Descends], although it is just the beginning of the year, there are almost no too suitable schedules after the Spring Festival has passed this year"

For a movie released in China, if you want to achieve good results, the right schedule is very important.

If there is no good schedule, no matter how high the quality of the movie is, no matter how popular it is, the box office will definitely be discounted.

Looking at it now, there are only two domestic schedules that can really get the top box office every year: the Spring Festival and the summer.

At present, the top three domestic movie box office lists, the first [Tang Detective 2] and the third [Monster Hunt] were released in the summer of 16 and 15 respectively, and the second [Mermaid] was released in the Spring Festival of 16.

Like this year's Spring Festival, the reputation of several blockbusters is not very good, [Journey to the West] still won a box office of 1.652 billion, and Cheng Long's [Kung Fu Yoga] The final box office was as high as 1.748 billion.

For the rest of the National Day schedule, the box office potential is slightly worse than the first two time periods, and it is even worse for Valentine's Day and May Day.

This year's Spring Festival file has passed, and the summer file has [Wolf Warrior 2] cooperated by Gu Wei and Wu Jing, Gu Wei doesn't want to fight his own people.

Both are movies with 5 billion+ box office potential, and Gu Wei will only release them on the same schedule when he is crazy.

"I plan to arrange for [Nezha] to be released during the Spring Festival next year, what do you think?"

"Spring Festival stalls, will the competition be too fierce?"

Dumplings are a little hesitant.

He is very confident in the quality of [Nezha], and feels that he will not lose the 15-year-old "Return of the Great Sage", but now that the Spring Festival stalls are the territory of blockbusters, it is difficult for him to compete with others in a cartoon.

The [Return of the Great Sage] was indeed very popular that year, and the box office was also very high, but it was difficult for the animated films released in the past two years to have the results of [The Return of the Great Sage], and most of them even struggled to return to their original capital.

Therefore, he is not 100% confident in the future box office of [Nezha's Demon Boy Descends].

Gu Wei smiled and patted the dumpling on the shoulder.

"I have confidence in [Nezha], with the quality of our movie, it will be a kill in next year's Spring Festival!"

"Actually, I think this year's May Day file, or summer file, is good, but it is not good, and the National Day file can also be used.

It will take another year until the 18th Spring Festival, will it be too long."

Dumplings are still not very confident.

"The box office potential of the May Day and National Day files is too small, and there is a big-budget movie invested by the company in the summer file.

The Spring Festival stall is the best choice for [Nezha]! ”

The original time and space's [Tang Detective 2] was released during the Spring Festival in 18 years and won a box office of more than 3 billion.

However, Gu Wei has now filmed [Tang Detective 2] in advance and released it more than 1 year earlier, and now he is absent from this blockbuster during the Spring Festival in 18, just to make up for it with [Nezha's Demon Boy Descends].

And Gu Wei heard that [Monster Hunt 2] happened to be on the Spring Festival in 18, and An Le found Liang Chaowei to replace Gu Wei, and invited many celebrities to join.

This is the first fantasy movie with a bumper box office reputation, if it is still the bad plot of the original time and space, don't blame Gu Wei for using [Nezha] to kill it.

"Understood."

Seeing that Gu Wei, the boss, was so determined, the dumplings could only agree.

The two chatted for a while, Gu Wei planned to give the main personnel of the dumpling team a holiday and give a certain bonus, everyone worked hard for 3 years, and now that the film is out, they can naturally rest for a while.

"I thank Mr. Gu for everyone."

Although Dumpling likes to make animated movies, work is a pleasure for him, but the boss has a holiday and pays money, which employee can not be happy.

"This is a project bonus for everyone, and when the movie is released and sells at the box office, there will be a big red envelope for each person!"

Gu Wei is never stingy with employees who make money for themselves.

From dumplings to these technical backbones of animation companies, he will definitely satisfy everyone in terms of money.

"Director Yang, now that the [Nezha] project has been completed, the company can officially start the next stage of the project when I come back from this vacation."

"Boss, do you mean [Fengshen]?"

Dumplings have read the development plan that Gu Wei set for the animation company at the beginning, and [Nezha] is only the beginning of [Fengshen] is the future.

Gu Wei nodded.

"Yes, the three years of making [Nezha] have also allowed the company to cultivate a group of related talents, and if we recruit some more in the future, we can start two projects at the same time.

The next stage can be [Jiang Ziya], [Yang Jian], [Lei Zhenzi], etc., after all the one-player animated movies of these people are completed, they can be like Marvel's [Avengers], everyone can come together to open the animated movie version of [Fengshen]!

Let's use the brush together to build our own animated movie version of [Fengshen Universe]!

When [Fengshen] really succeeds, Director Yang will become China's Stan Li and be remembered by all the audiences who love these animated movies! ”

"Okay, boss!"

Listening to the future depicted by Gu Wei, Dumpling felt a little enthusiastic, and he couldn't wait to start the next project immediately.

Gu Wei looked at him with a smile.

The cake was painted, the chicken blood was beaten, and Gu Wei, the boss, became more and more proficient.

"Of course, the Great Wall cannot be built in a day, and the time in the future is still very long, and the most important thing for Director Yang in the near future is to take a good rest and accumulate strength for the next work."

"I will ask the screenwriting department of the [Film and Television Company] to make their own scripts for the immortals of each independent unit in the future, until the final [Fengshen], they have interaction with each other"

"The company will not set a ceiling on the investment in this [Fengshen Universe] plan, and even if one or two animated films in the middle do not perform well at the box office, or even lose money, it doesn't matter.

The last [gods] is the most important."

Gu Wei talked a lot with Dumpling again, and after telling him about his plan, he assured him of the financial investment, and promised not to care too much about the box office of the intermediate animated film, so that he would not have too much pressure.

This is actually a routine with Marvel, when Marvel started the [Marvel Universe] plan, not every movie made money in the middle, and the box office of [Thor] and [Captain America] in 11 years was not too high.

But Marvel doesn't count the gains and losses of one or two movies, the appearance of the previous heroes is to accumulate popularity for the last [Avengers], as long as the [Marvel Universe] is really built, no matter what you shoot, you can make money.

Obviously, Dumpling was not generally interested in the animated movie version of [Fengshen Universe] in Gu Wei's mouth, and he dragged Gu Wei to chat until he got off work in the evening.

In the end, under the comfort of Gu Wei, he reluctantly left the company.

It seems that with this matter in his heart, the vacation he is about to start will not be too stable.

After coming out of the company, Gu Wei took a car to Palm Springs International Apartment.

After returning to the capital after the New Year, Nazha did not join the group, but just ran commercial performances, took magazine photos, and waited for the recording of [Hua Shao 3].

She has been looking forward to going out on a trip with Gu Wei this time.

Gu Wei opened the door and entered the house, Nazha was wearing pale yellow pajamas with a pink headband on her head, and was busy packing all kinds of clothes.

Seeing Gu Wei enter the door, he just greeted casually.

"Cleaning up now?"

"That's right, the crew will come to the house tomorrow to record, I have to pack the clothes I want to bring, and it's definitely too late to start packing up when I have to leave, I have difficulty choosing!"

As she spoke, Nazha pulled out two pieces of clothing.

"Which of these two looks better?"

Gu Wei casually pointed to the white one.

"This looks good!"

Naza flipped it over and looked at it herself.

"But I think the blue ones look better."

Gu Wei rolled his eyes.

"And you still ask me?"

"Forget it, take it all!"

With that, Naza folded the two clothes and placed them in a large suitcase on the ground.

"When are you going to pack your things and do you need me to go to your house and get them for you?"

Gu Wei sat on the sofa and watched with interest as Nazha was busy.

"Chao Yue will help me pack my luggage, she will think about taking the daily necessities, and the costume stylist will help her choose and bring the clothes outside."

The little assistant has been with Gu Wei for almost two years, and of course Nazha knows each other.

"Tsk, you are really the body of the young master, but we are about to go to the poor tour, and there will be no people around to serve us at that time."

"It doesn't matter, if you have the conditions, you can be a "young master", and if you don't have the conditions, I can also be a "Pei Ye"! ”

One chapter today, two chapters tomorrow, thank you!
