Chapter 66: Happy Cooperation

At ten o'clock in the morning of February 13, 2001, the sky of Yanjing was not hung with the sun, the cold wind was howling, and there were few pedestrians on the street.

At a teahouse in the DC district, two middle-aged men sit on one side and a young man on the other.

The two middle-aged men are nothing special, with ordinary looks and ordinary figures.

The young man is tall and handsome, with a calm temperament, and this person is Li Shengyao.

The two people opposite him were Jiang Chunming and Zhong Dahui.

This time, the two of them came together, one is to contact Li Shengyao, and the other is to inquire about Li Shengyao's next drama.

In order to express his sincerity, Chunming gave two catties of Pu'er, and Zhong Dahui gave Li Shengyao a three-dimensional vinyl phonograph.

"Director Li, I don't know what type of film and television drama your next drama will be?"

"It's a romantic drama."

Chunming and Zhong Dahui glanced at each other, and both of them saw the joy in each other's eyes.

This time, "Funny Family" performed very well, and now it has stabilized the ratings at about four o'clock.

or in the same period, there is "Deep Love and Rain", which can be said to have far exceeded the expectations of everyone on the two TV stations.

Given that "Funny Family" has a full 140 episodes, it can be broadcast for three months.

The title sponsorship of Shanghai City Satellite TV's TV series sold for 12 million.

And Gusu Satellite TV also sold for 10 million.

It can be said that the seven million broadcast rights fees spent before were easily recovered.

The leaders and employees of both TV stations were very happy.

However, because it is a simulcast, the ratings have been divided, and there will be CCTV's overall situation "Mansion Gate" in April, but I am afraid that the follow-up ratings will not have a big increase.

Of course, the two stations maintain a rating of 4 percent, which is already a big profit.

They then looked far away and focused on Lee Shengyao's third drama.

Li Shengyao's first romantic drama was "Love Hotel", which had almost no publicity and a maximum rating of seven points.

If this second part is promoted together, will it be higher?

"Director Li, can you tell us about the plot of this romantic drama?"

"Of course."

Li Shengyao then pulled out the synopsis of the story he had previously written about "Winter Love Song".

Chunming took the paper with both hands and looked at it with Zhong Dahui.

In just over 1,000 words, it tells the story of "Winter Love Song", the hero and heroine met when they were young, fell in love, and then started a sadomasochistic relationship.

Among them, there are love triangles, four-cornered love, met an ex-boyfriend at the engagement scene, amnesia, terminal illness, blindness, car accidents, and the male protagonist and the male protagonist are brothers, far away for love, the male protagonist and the female protagonist are suspected of being brothers and sisters, the previous generation is in a love triangle, and the next generation is still in a love triangle.

It can be said that this love is a collection of all misfortunes, and it is more complicated than Qiong Yao's drama.

Jiang Chunming was excited, he also thought that this was a TV series similar to the modern version of "Deep Love and Rain", "Good, good, good, this story is good." ”

Zhong Dahui nodded, "That's right, Director Li, I really admire you, you can come up with such a wonderful story in our country." ”

Li Shengyao smiled.

The Korean version of "Winter Sonata" looks very bloody, but the details are amazing and there is a lot of foreshadowing.

When watching TV series, I won't feel abrupt at all, and I won't feel such bloody and disgusting.

As far as script writing is concerned, the script of this show is definitely of the best level.

In just thirty episodes, so many elements are integrated, and it is not chaotic, and the plot is smooth and natural.

Lee Shengyao didn't need to make major changes, he only changed two places, and the Korean version of the male and female protagonists met and fell in love in high school.

Early love is not allowed in the mainland, so naturally it can't be set like this, so he changed it to a freshman.

In addition, the Korean version of the school system is strict.,The male and female protagonists have a plot of being reprimanded by the teaching director.。

Li Shengyao changed to a school in the days when he had to deal with the inspection of the Education Bureau, and the management was stricter.

Other than that, there is no need for him to change.

In fact, this drama can be so successful, in addition to the good script and good actors, the important thing is that the photography is too beautiful.

The soundtrack of this drama is filled with a faint sadness from beginning to end, and the pure white snow can be seen in every plot of the happiness of the male and female protagonists, giving people a pure and fragile beauty.

The island nation likes this tune, which is why it is so popular.

"Love Hotel" has been remade by many countries, but there is no producer to remake "Winter Love Song".

One is that Zhuyu is in front, this drama is too beautiful.

The second is that this drama is too bloody, and if one is not filmed well, it will be scolded to death by the audience.

No one dares to remake.

(There is a drama in China, called "Across the Door", which is said to be a remake of "Winter Love Song", but the plot is not like it at all, the director bought the remake copyright, but he made a few changes, and I don't know why he wasted this money)

Zhong Dahui then took a sip of tea, "Director Li, how many episodes of this story do you plan to film?" ”

"Thirty episodes." (Twenty episodes of the Korean version, I remembered it wrong before, it was written as twenty episodes, and after being reminded by a book friend, it should be thirty episodes when converted into domestic duration)

"So short?"

Looking at the synopsis of the story, there are a lot of elements in it.

Zhong Dahui thought that he would shoot forty or fifty episodes, but he didn't expect it to be so short.

Two episodes a day on weekdays, counting one episode a day on weekends, it can be finished in less than three weeks.

Li Shengyao smiled, "Yes, it's okay." ”

"What is Director Li's production budget?"

"Eight million."

Jiang Chunming looked over puzzled, "So much?" ”

The investment in "Huanzhu Gege 2" is only more than 10 million.

"Well, this drama is going to be filmed very beautifully, although the number of episodes is small, but the costumes, props, and sets are very demanding."

In addition to being indoors, the Korean version of the male and female protagonists must wear a tweed coat when they go out, and the clothes are very textured at first glance and very expensive.

Not to mention the snow that falls at every turn.

and the makeup of the hero and heroine, which is really beautiful all the time.

Li Shengyao will provide the male and female protagonists with good-looking and high-end clothes, as well as invite them the best stylists, and snowflakes that can fly at any time.

All of this requires money.

Jiang Chunming nodded, and then asked, "Is the main investment this time your own company, or Daifuku Film and Television Company?"

"My own company."

Li Dafu approached Li Shengyao and wanted to continue to cooperate, but Li Shengyao refused.

Daifuku Film and Television Company has nothing but money, and there is no need to continue to cooperate.

What's more important is that his company was established, and he naturally invested in it, so that it can be regarded as a masterpiece.

Jiang Chunming and Zhong Dahui glanced at each other, and then asked tentatively: "Director Li, if the two of us want to invest, what is the certainty?"

Li Shengyao thought for a while, and then said: "The overseas broadcast rights, all the copyrights belong to me, if I invest 1 million, I can give 15% of the dividends to the two domestic broadcast rights."

Previously, Daifuku Film and Television Company was the main company, and gave 10% of the dividends.

At that time, Li Shengyao's reputation was not as good as it is now.

It stands to reason that Lee does not need to give up more than 10% of the dividends.

However, the number of episodes of "Winter Sonata" is too small, only thirty episodes.

At a cost of eight million, in terms of domestic broadcast rights, I am afraid that it will only take three or four rounds to recover the cost.

This payback time is too long.

If there are forty episodes, with his previous ratings, he can sell 120,000 or 130,000 episodes, and the cost can be recovered in two rounds.

The number of episodes is too small, and it is too difficult to recover the cost.

He is willing to give up some more dividends, of course, Gusu Satellite TV and Hucheng Satellite TV also have to help him solve some problems.

Li Shengyao actually can't look down on the money in China, and he is satisfied that he can recover four or five million of the domestic broadcasting rights.

His goal is to launch the male and female protagonists, and after Bae Yongjun acted in this drama, he won the first place in the Korean circle for two consecutive years, 80 million in 04 and 200 million in 05. (Chapter 51 is to introduce the results of "Winter Love Song", which is popular in Asia, and the broadcast rights are sold for dozens of Guo Jia, Pei Yongjun made a movie in 05, and the rest of the time he received advertisements all over the world, and earned 250 million after giving the brokerage company a commission)

If Zhao Yang can become as popular as Pei Yongjun, or half of it, Li Shengyao's company can earn hundreds of millions.

Jiang Chunming and Zhong General Assembly heard this, thought about it, and then said that they wanted to ask for instructions.

Fifteen minutes later, the two men smiled and agreed.

In the eyes of the two, although "Winter Love Song" has a small number of episodes, it can definitely recover its cost.

After all, the mainland is so big and there are many TV stations, even if it is sold out in the same five rounds, it will only take a long time.

But as long as the relationship with Li Shengyao is maintained, and this good drama can be won, it will be worth it.

"Director Li, happy cooperation."

Li Shengyao is also happy, he needs some powerful partners, Dafu Film and Television Company can't, Gusu Satellite TV and Hucheng Satellite TV can.

"It's a pleasure to work with."
