After "Journey to the West", the boom of the Spring Festival stalls has passed, and in March 2013, the mainland film market still shows a strong ability to attract money.

In late March, "Ip Man: The Ultimate Battle", "Yanjing Meets Seattle", "Resident Evil 5", and "Giant Hunter Jack" were released one after another, including domestic films and Hollywood blockbusters.

Among them, the small-budget movie "Yanjing Meets Seattle" has performed strongly, with a trend of breaking 500 million.

Who can not love such a film market?

More hot money, more resources pouring in.

Even the directors of the island peninsula were invited over and wanted a piece of the pie.

There are even more film and television companies looking forward to cooperating with Li Shengyao, not only a large number of emails every day, but also people visiting their homes, some from the mainland, some from Hong Kong Island Wanwan, and some from island countries.

Li Shengyao glanced at it occasionally, and most of the emails were handled by the assistant.

As for the people who came to visit, a small number of people met with them, and the vast majority of them turned them away.

Because of this incident, some people posted small compositions on Weibo, which attracted some people to black Li Shengyao, but he didn't care about it and still dealt with his own affairs.

On this morning, the warm sun swayed and fell.

The gentle spring breeze sprinkles the fragrance of flowers and leads the birds to sing.

Liangmahe Building, Fenghua Film and Television Company, the employees are working hard.

In the conference room, Li Shengyao met two old friends, two new friends.

The old friends are Zhou Yang and Zhong Dahui, and the new friends are Jia Yang and Huang Jingshan.

He and Zhou Yang and Zhong Dahui have known each other for more than ten years, and Jia Yang and Huang Jingshan are meeting for the first time.

Jia Yang is about thirty years old, tall and thin, wearing a pair of glasses, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and has a bit of Sven scum temperament, seeing him, Li Shengyao immediately thought of Fang Tangjing, he is a senior executive of Zhejiang Satellite TV, and it is said that he is now managing the variety show of Zhejiang Satellite TV.

Huang Jingshan is in his thirties, bald, not fat, but his head is big, and he has a lot of meat on his face, he is a very eloquent person, he speaks very quickly, and when he met Li Shengyao for the first time, he talked endlessly, and said a lot of idioms in a row, he is a senior executive of Gusu Satellite TV.

Zhou Yan is a person from Xiangnan Satellite TV, and Zhong Dahui is a person from Hucheng Satellite TV.

Fenghua cooperated with these four satellite TVs ten years ago, filming dramas together and producing variety shows together.

A few years later, Fenghua completed the production of those sinicized "Korean dramas", and began to shoot some sweet drama idol dramas adapted from online texts, which are still dominated by the young market and the Southeast Asian market.

Now Fenghua idol dramas have completely occupied the Southeast Asian market, and they also have a great reputation in Zhongdong Nanmei and other places.

Li Shengyao specially arranged for people to brush data on YouTube, creating an illusion for European and American audiences that Fenghua dramas are very popular all over the world, and from time to time they can also attract some European and American leeks.

However, in the hinterland, the lives of the common people are getting better and better, and the requirements for spiritual civilization are even higher.

Those idol dramas, the power of sweet dramas is not as good as ten years ago.

Fenghua and Four David TV have cooperated a lot less in film and television dramas.

However, they still cooperate closely in variety shows, Li Shengyao picked up a series of popular variety shows early, and later he remembered what variety shows, and he would ask the people in the company's variety show department to produce them immediately and preemptively set the copyright.

Now ninety percent of the popular variety shows in the mainland are produced by Fenghua, and then the copyright is sold to various David TV.

This time, four people came to the door at the same time, and Li Shengyao guessed that it should have something to do with variety shows.

He asked his assistant to serve tea, then smiled and said some trivia.

Jia Yang was young after all, and his patience was not so good, and when the other three people accompanied Li Shengyao Hara, he cleared his throat, and then said: "Director Li, we came here this time because we have an important matter to discuss with you. ”

Li Shengyao glanced at the other three people, and seeing that none of them spoke, he nodded, "You say." ”

"Director Li, now that the film market is developing so fast, and our variety shows have an excellent reputation and are very popular, we thought why not adapt these variety shows into movies?

Just use the hot resident guests on variety shows, and it doesn't cost much to make a movie.

According to the current film market, I think it should not be a problem for each movie to have a box office of hundreds of millions. ”

Jia Yang was full of spirits and radiant, and when he spoke, the whole person seemed to float.

Li Shengyao smiled when he heard this, "How do you want to cooperate?" ”

The people of the four David TV came to the door together, it is really related to variety shows, and they still want to shoot variety show movies.

Li Shengyao was slightly surprised, and then understood what these people were thinking.

In fact, there have been variety movies in the mainland for a long time.

In 09, Shonan Satellite TV produced a movie called "Happy Fire Boys", the actors are happy boys and super girls, and the story is the draft.

Douban scored five points, with a box office of 3.04 million.

The film market has not yet exploded in 09, and this variety show movie is not good, and it has not extinguished the idea of other people making money.

Now that the mainland film market is rising, it is reasonable that these smart people of the Four David TV want to use this to make money.

In fact, they don't necessarily make money in the film market, to be precise, they don't care if the movie loses money.

After the establishment of the variety show film project, the leaders and relatives of the TV station hung up a producer, producer, assistant director, lighting engineer, art director, field worker and other positions, and then sold some straw hats for 10,000 yuan and coffee for 9,000 yuan, which can make money.

It's not their money anyway, it's earned when it's spent.

Of course, if the box office is good and the reputation is good, it will be even better, which means that you can continue to make sequels and continue to make money.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, "Where Are You Going, Dad", "Run, Brother", "Extreme Challenge", "The Voice of China", and "Happy Comedian" all came out in variety movies.

Among them, "Where Are You Going, Dad" made money, and a total of three films were filmed, the first part had a box office of 697 million, the second part had a box office of 226 million, and the audience of the third part woke up, with only 10 million box office.

The box office of "Run, Brother" is okay, with 435 million.

The most popular is "The Voice of China: Turning Around", with a Douban score of 2.5 points, and only 3.01 million box office.

None of these variety movies have a score of six, which can be said to be 100% bad, which is the movie genre with the highest bad film rate.

"Director Li, with the current film market, we all feel that variety shows have room for development, young people are rich now, and many teenagers have mobile phones, and it is not trivial to buy a movie ticket for 30 yuan.

You see that EXO is so popular, most of the fans are high school students, college students, and they have strong purchasing power, which helped them become the first day group in Asia.

Our variety show audience is about the same age as EXO fans, and we will definitely be able to make money.

We want to produce with Fenghua, Fenghua publishes the copyright, we contribute the funds, and the film copyright and box office discuss the distribution. ”

Zhong Dahui then said what he thought.

Zhou Yan and Huang Jingshan then said that they could produce variety movies, share the copyright with Fenghua, and share the box office.

Hearing this, Li Shengyao ordered the table.

He thought of the "Little Times" series of movies filmed by Da Mi Mi.

Such a bad movie is really unstoppable, rather than not making it, it is better to shoot it and let the mainland audience accept the baptism of bad movies.

In this era of savage growth of movies, it can be regarded as a kind of growth for the audience to suffer a little loss.

Just like Liu Dehua, who took over the filming of "Future Police" before, scolded the audience, explaining that in order to repay the favor, he later took over the filming of "Fuchun Mountain Residence", and this time he scolded even more, but Lao Liu said that he would return the favor.

Later, the audience watched the movie starring Lao Liu much more cautiously.

There is also Gu Tianle, who donated to build a school with a good reputation, coupled with childhood filters, the audience thought that he had a good eye for choosing movies, but as a result, there were a bunch of bad movies and a bunch of wholesale.

Later, when the audience watches Principal Gu's movie, they will have to be much more cautious.

The existence of bad movies can make the audience more rational.

However, Fenghua's self-made, or invested movies have always had a good reputation and high box office, so there is no need to ruin their reputation for a few variety show movies.

Li Shengyao thought for a while and said: "I understand your thoughts, I also agree that variety shows are good, but ......"

He paused for a moment, and then said: "However, Fenghua Film and Television Company invests in feature films, and I don't want to involve variety show movies." ”

Jia Yang also thought that Li Shengyao was high and couldn't look at variety show movies, "Director Li, you can hand it over to us to produce, as long as Fenghua takes out the copyright, we are responsible for all other things." ”

Li Shengyao smiled, shook his head, and continued: "There is no need to be so troublesome, just Fenghua will sell the film copyright of variety shows to you, and you have full ownership of the production and copyright of these variety show movies." ”

When Jia Yang and Zhou Yan heard this, they all looked at each other excitedly.

They were worried that Lee Shengyao was unwilling to share the copyright, but they didn't expect Lee Shengyao to be so generous and willing to sell the copyright to them and let them enjoy the film copyright exclusively.

Zhong Dahui has known Li Shengyao for the longest time, and knows Li Shengyao's business vision, this is a person who has never suffered losses.

So this time Li Shengyao gave up the copyright of variety show movies so easily, does it mean that these movies are not profitable?

He hesitated slightly, but noticed that the other three were very excited, and immediately realized that they could make money no matter what the box office was.

In that case, why debunk?

He smiled, sweeping away the hesitation in his heart completely.

"Then let's talk about the copyright fee of variety show films, and then hurry up to finalize this matter, taking advantage of the fact that it is still early, everyone can make a good movie before the summer vacation, and then release it in the summer file to make money."

Li Shengyao then negotiated with Jia Yang and Zhou Yan, and after a day of talking, the film copyright was finally finalized.

"The Voice of China" and "Run, Brother" are very popular, and the copyright of the film adaptation is 200 million, and a total of 400 million is sold to Zhijiang Satellite TV.

The film adaptation copyright of "Where Are You Going, Dad" is 200 million and is sold to Shonan Satellite TV.

The film adaptation copyright of "Extreme Challenge" is 100 million and sold to Hucheng Satellite TV.

The film adaptation copyright of "Happy Comedian" is 100 million and sold to Gusu Satellite TV.

After the negotiation was completed, the lawyer was invited to draw up the contract and sign the contract, and then Lee Shengyao invited the four partners to celebrate at the Landmark Hotel.

Jia Yang drank a lot of wine, stood up proudly, and gestured with his hands, "Director Li, I think your concept is still too old, variety shows are not ashamed, we must make them seriously, make movies with high box office and high reputation, and maybe win awards." ”

Li Shengyao smiled and nodded, "What Director Jia said makes sense. ”

Of course, he won't care about a person who drinks too much, and besides, these variety show movie copyrights can buy hundreds of millions, so why do you ask for so much.

Whether it's a bad movie or not has nothing to do with him.

Lee looked out the window.

A crescent moon hangs in the sky, accompanied by three or two stars, and clouds are cloudy.

Beams of light rise from the ground, connecting the sky and the earth.

Neon lights, LED lights, and all kinds of car lights are lit up one after another, like a stream-of-consciousness painting full of points of light, reflecting the prosperity of this era.

Yanjing is safe and developed, and the rest of the mainland is not too reckless, and Tyrande is much worse.

"Three Billboards" is to be produced in Tyrande, which is Asia's human organ trafficking center, pornography, gambling and drugs are all turned a blind eye, and safety is a big problem.

It's something he should be thinking about right now.
