Chapter 170: The Pink Girl's Attempt
"Signal" is a hit, Li Shengyao is also busy, he not only has to prepare for "Dashang Palace", but also has to deal with some domestic counterparts, from time to time film and television companies come to hand over projects, some hope to cooperate with Fenghua Film and Television Company to open up overseas markets, and some want Fenghua Film and Television Company to invest.
There are all kinds of dramas, costumes, idols, and criminal investigation dramas.
In most dramas, Li Shengyao is not interested, but on this day, a director from Shanghai came and handed over the book, which made Li Shengyao a little moved.
This director is called Zhu Yi, and he is the director of "Pink Girl".
Li Shengyao has naturally watched "Pink Girl", a TV series adapted from Zhu Deyong's comics, and there will be a "Double Cannon" later, which is also Zhu Deyong's comics.
These two comics tell about urban love at the same time, there are also some funny and satirical plots.
As far as 2002 is concerned, there is no similar repertoire in Korean dramas.
Li Shengyao thought it was interesting, but he wasn't sure if he would like to watch such a drama overseas, but he planned to try something.
The translation team of Fenghua Film and Television Company has been translating Fenghua's own dramas.
He wants to see if he can sell overseas if he translates other companies' dramas, and if he can help "Pink Girl" sell abroad, then he will be more popular in domestic entertainment, after all, in this way, he can help those film and television production companies generate income.
The main investment of "Pink Girl" is Huaxia Audiovisual Culture Company.
Zhu Yi is still looking for investment, obviously not enough investment.
Li Shengyao then asked his assistant to entertain him first, and he himself made a phone call to Chen Hao.
In his previous life, Zhu Yi took a fancy to Chen Hao's appearance and temperament, and went to the Chinese opera many times to invite her to play the role of "heartthrob", Chen Hao was preparing for the graduation drama at the time, and she was only twenty-four years old, so she was worried that she would not be able to play a charming person, so she refused.
It wasn't until she graduated that she agreed to come down.
Chen Hao quickly answered the phone, heard Li Shengyao's words, and said with a smile: "He came to me, I will listen to you, hang him a few times first, and then promise him." ”
Li Shengyao nodded, the two chatted for a few words, and then he hung up the phone.
A moment later, Li Shengyao came to the reception room and saw Zhu Yi at this time.
Tall and thin, with long hands and feet, he looks very energetic, not like a director, but more like an assembly line worker working on the front line.
"Director Li is good."
As soon as Li Shengyao entered the door, Zhu Yi took the initiative to stand up, and then stepped forward to say hello, with a very low posture.
Li Shengyao smiled, asked Zhu Yi to sit down, and let people serve tea.
"Director Li, I came here this time, I have a book, I want you to see it."
"What a book."
"Zhu Deyong's comic "Astringent Girl", I want to adapt it into a TV series, I have bought the copyright, and it will be called "Pink Girl" after the project is established."
Li Shengyao nodded and motioned for Zhu Yi to continue.
Zhu Yi naturally heard that many people were looking for Fenghua Film and Television Company to invest, but they were all rejected.
He didn't want to come over to Fenghua Film and Television Company to invest money, but he knew Zhong Dahui of Hucheng Satellite TV, who said that Li Shengyao was a visionary person, as long as the script was excellent, maybe Fenghua would invest.
Zhu Yi came over.
At this time, looking at the young Li Shengyao, he was a little nervous, and kept telling himself to be calm in his heart, so he slowly said the purpose of this time.
"Director Li, I hope Fenghua Film and Television Company can invest in our project."
Li Shengyao naturally didn't agree immediately, he smiled, "Tell me what are the advantages of this book, market analysis, have you made a planning book, show me." ”
Zhu Yi had been a director for a long time, so he naturally understood what the investors wanted, and immediately took out the shooting plan, and then Li Shengyao listened to Zhu Yi while watching.
Fifteen minutes later, Li Shengyao asked, "How many companies have invested now?" ”
"Two, Huaxia Audiovisual Culture invested 3 million, and Hucheng Satellite TV invested 1 million."
"How much money are you missing?"
"We want to invite some celebrities, and the estimate is six million, so we are still short of two million."
"Pink Girl" did invite many stars, among which Chen Kun and Hu Bing were popular students at this time.
Six million is not a lot of investment.
When Li Shengyao watched it in his previous life, he felt that the service was quite cheap, and the main plot was in the house of four women.
He clicked on the table, and then said: "It's actually an unknown whether your project will work or not, although comics are very popular in the market, but when they are adapted into TV series, the audience is different." ”
Zhu Yi hurriedly nodded, "Director Li, you're right, but I still hope to give it a try, if it succeeds, it will be a new direction." ”
"Talk to investors, don't say what if, this represents uncertainty."
Zhu Yi immediately agreed.
"I'm not sure if your show will succeed, but I'm willing to give you a chance, but I have two conditions."
"You say."
"First, I will arrange for my people to join the crew, and all the accounts of the crew, my people will check them, and I want to make sure that my money is not spent on people."
Zhu Yi naturally knows some of the unspoken rules of the crew now, buying and selling things below, the price is very different from the market price, which often no one cares about.
It seems that it has been regarded as pumping oil and water for the people below by default.
He didn't expect Li Shengyao to be here and not good.
However, thinking of the quality of Fenghua dramas, and after looking for a long time, I only found four million.
The difference between the effect of four million and six million is still quite large, and he can shoot better with six million.
In addition, perhaps the Fenghua drama is so good, because the crew has few moths.
"Okay, I can say yes."
"It must be written into the contract, in case it is discovered, it will be severely punished, otherwise I have the right to withdraw at any time, and you will compensate me for my losses."
"Okay."
Zhu Yi felt that he had fought hard this time, and he wanted to learn from Fenghua Film and Television Company and change the atmosphere of the crew.
"The second point? Fenghua Film and Television Company wants the exclusive overseas sales agency rights of "Pink Girl", and when the time comes, my people will make subtitles in four foreign languages for "Pink Girl", help sell it overseas, and finally divide it fifty-fifty. ”
This was a complete accident, Zhu Yi didn't expect Fenghua Film and Television Company to be willing to help others sell dramas.
In domestic entertainment, except for Fenghua dramas, others dare not expect to earn foreign exchange at all.
He didn't care too much about the five or five points, and immediately nodded, "Okay, Director Li, I agree." ”
"Okay, let's sign up."
Soon after, Fenghua Film and Television Company officially signed a contract with the people of Huaxia Audiovisual Culture, and Fenghua Film and Television Company invested 2 million to obtain 30% of the foreign and domestic broadcast rights of this drama.
At the same time, it obtained the exclusive agency right for the overseas sales of this drama, and the share after the sale is 55 points.
"Director Li, happy cooperation."
The people on the side of Huaxia Audiovisual Culture were also shocked that Li Shengyao would invest, and they had long planned to give up some dividends to reduce investment risks, but they didn't expect Zhu Yi to find Li Shengyao in the end.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
Li Shengyao smiled.
Regardless of whether "Pink Girl" can be sold overseas, he should not lose money, "Pink Girl" has been broadcast on various David TV for several years after the summer vacation, and there is no problem in recovering the cost.
He's just trying.
It's a big profit, and it's okay if it doesn't work.
