Let you host the artist, how can you become a superstar

CH 231 0230: New Movies and TV Series

Django likes to read comments from netizens, both good and bad, because you can see the evaluations of trolls, fans, and passers-by on himself and his works.

Among them, there are many analysis by industry insiders, but they are consistent with the opinions of most netizens, saying that it is not a big problem for "Detective Chinatown" to be released on the National Day file, but they are skeptical about choosing horror movies for the new movie.

Django didn't respond, letting them discuss.

This time, he is in the ByteDance building, talking to Wang Peng, the marketing manager of Xigua Video.

Originally, Wang Peng was going to Bangkok to meet him, but because he was invited by CCTV to return to China after the May Day holiday and go to Yanjing, Wang Peng was told not to come.

"Jiang Dong, are you satisfied with the price?" Wang Peng was quite confident. This time, the company paid a lot of money and offered a sky-high price.

Of course, it is the sky-high price they think.

Django smiled and said, "It's an exciting price."

This price really shows the sincerity of your company, but the cooperation model is not what he wants. Ten years is a long time, and there is a lot of room for improvement. How can it be possible to give up the network broadcast rights of ten years of movies and TV dramas at this time? Pack it up and sell it.

When Wang Peng heard it, a joyful smile appeared on his face. Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Ge preempted him and said, "However, I plan to sell each work one by one."

Wang Peng: "..."

You are panting so much, you are so happy.

After a pause of two seconds, he hurriedly said: "Jiang Dong, if there is something you are not satisfied with, we can talk about it."

Jiang Ge said frankly: "First of all, thank you very much for your long-term trust and such a good cooperation contract, but I have my own operating model, I hope Manager Wang can understand."

His attitude was very clear and resolute. Wang Peng opened his mouth, and finally gave up the plan to purchase the online distribution rights of film and television dramas within ten years, and said instead: "Then, Jiang Dong, please be sure to follow the new movies and TV dramas in the future." to sell to us."

Jiang Ge heard the words and said truthfully: "This...the new movie is probably a horror movie."

As the marketing manager of a video website, Wang Peng will definitely not miss the news every day. He naturally knows that he will adapt the story in "Liao Zhai", saying: "It doesn't matter what type of movie it is, as long as it is a script written by Director Jiang. .”

Perhaps Mo Lan was right. Watermelon Video wanted to use his movies and TV series to attract more users and squeeze into the first-tier video sites.

Since the rise of Internet video platforms, the distribution channels of film and television companies are no longer solely focused on TV stations. Video platforms are fighting a "copyright war" in order to obtain the right to broadcast film and television dramas on the Internet and obtain user traffic. In order to sell copyrighted dramas, film and television companies A good price, or for the purpose of cooperating with the platform, is also forced to participate in this war.

The same is true on Earth. Before 2006, the online distribution rights of 80 episodes of the popular word-of-mouth drama "Wulin Biography" were only sold for 10 yuan, and a single episode was only sold for 1250 yuan. The fee was as high as 2016 million, an increase of 1000 times.

After chatting for a while, the two parties reached a cooperation, and Django sold the online distribution rights of the film "Painted Skin" to Xigua Video.

After the trip to Yanjing, he didn't fly directly to Bangkok, but returned to Hangzhou.

Tang Tan has filmed several key scenes, it doesn't matter whether he goes with the crew or not, Huang Tao can handle it.

Through her network, Mo Lan found a special effects company that she wanted to sell. Its name was "Li Film and Television Industry", and its strength ranked among the top five in China.

Jiang Ge first found a third-party appraisal agency to evaluate the assets of the Li Film and Television Industry, and sat down to negotiate the price after getting the estimated overall value.

Back and forth, half a month later, Li Film and Television Industry officially belonged to Huafeng Media.

"Jiang Dong, let's change the name." Jiao Dacheng used to be the special effects director of the special effects team of Li Film and TV, and now he has been appointed as the manager of the special effects department of Huafeng Media.

As for the boss of Li Film and Television Industry, he took the money from selling the company and went there in style.

He felt that since he came to Huafeng Media, it would not be good to keep his original name.

"I have to change the name..." Django nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Don't make any fuss, just change it to 'Huafeng Vision'."

Jiao Dacheng naturally had no objection.

Immediately, Jiang Ge asked a question that he cared about: "I saw the special effects you made before, and "Xianyue" is quite good. Why are the special effects of the next few movies and TV series the same as those of the nickel?"

Jiao Dacheng sighed, and told the truth: "At the beginning we became popular because of "Xianyue", and we came to place orders for many film and television dramas, thinking that we would live a good life, but the boss wanted money, and the price was lower than Foreign special effects companies are all expensive, and as a result, all the big orders are gone, and only those small orders are received, and our production budget is also kept very low. How can we make the horse run and not eat grass..."

It turned out that poor management was the reason.

"When you get here, it's enough to be careless, and the special effects are as good as you can do. Whether it's the police or the production funds, just give me a report." Django said, smiling, and said: "But the premise is that every Every penny should be spent worthwhile, and I’ll put my ugly words up front, if you are given one yuan, but the special effects you make are fifty cents, then pack up and leave.”

"Don't worry, we will do our best and never disappoint your expectations!" Jiao Dacheng was a little excited. It was such a lucky and happy thing for the special effects team to follow a master who was not short of money and was willing to spend money. .

Django doesn’t want special effects like the TV series “Fights Break Sphere” and the movie “Shanghai Fortress” in his previous life to appear in his film and television dramas. Money needs to be earned, but it must be earned by high-quality works. This is the bottom line .

Afterwards, he took out a folder and handed it over, saying: "This is the special effect for the next movie and TV series. It's just the first draft. You should familiarize yourself with it first."

Jiao Dacheng was full of enthusiasm, ready to do a big job, and said: "Okay."

This time, Django is going to work on two lines, Zhu Ping will be in charge of the new movie "Painted Skin", and Huang Tao will be in charge of the new TV series after he returns from filming Tang Tan.

The TV series has not yet decided what to shoot. Since the second season of "White Night Chasing the Murder" did not come out before time travel, it cannot be exchanged in the system, so I can only write it myself.

As for Django, he is full of confidence in writing "Dark Law Enforcer" and "Jingang Police" which are not as good as they are, but "White Night Chase" is very important, and it is related to the future of the White Night universe. It cannot be collapsed in the second season, so I think Wait until [Elite Level·Director Knowledge] is upgraded before starting to write, and now there is still 30% experience value short.

So let's put it aside and pick another drama to shoot.

Jiang Ge was not in a hurry, and first analyzed the current market in detail. For investors, only when they have a clear understanding of what dramas are in the market and what dramas are hot, can they make the most suitable choice.

He found that the major brokerage companies are not stupid, and also see that the era of "traffic" is about to turn over and enter the era of "new traffic", and they have taken their own traffic stars back to the furnace for rebuilding.

Actors go to actor training classes, and singers go to invite vocal music teachers to teach. During this period of time, the business of major art schools is surprisingly good.

That's interesting, Django smiled.

He hopes that the artists of Huafeng will collide with the artists of other companies, because only competition can promote progress, competition can create topics, and competition is more conducive to development.

The stronger the opponent, the more things to watch for the collision, and the higher the income for the winner.

Django thought about it for a long time, and decided to make a big deal!
He wants to redeem a complete TV series, including the original film, script, soundtrack, star card of the director, and star card of the starring role.

There is only one purpose, to let Xu Chenyi secure his position as the number one new traffic star.

The money he earns now can stably repay the old man's debts. Jiang Ge is going to start the star-making project, and a real "superstar" should be born in the [Superstar] WeChat group.

What is the meaning of top stream?That is, they have a large number of fans, they can respond to everyone, they have strong traffic attraction and great real commercial value, which can not only enhance the company's position in the industry, increase the company's resources in the industry, but also drive Other entertainers develop.

This is an important part of Huafeng's future development.

The TV series Jiang Ge chose was "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1".

This drama is adapted from Daewoo Information's single-player game of the same name. It is directed by Li Guoli and co-starred by Hu Ge, Liu Yifei, An Yixuan, Liu Pinyan, Peng Yuyan and others.

It tells the story of the love and hatred between Li Xiaoyao, the shop boy in the fishing village, Zhao Linger, the descendant of Nuwa, and Lin Yueru, the eldest lady of Linjiabao, and they join forces to destroy the Moon Worship Sect and save the common people.

Perhaps, many young people don't know how classic the TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is.

Since it started broadcasting in 2005, it has scored 9.0 on Douban, with more than 23 people rating it. It is the highest-rated fairy tale drama on Douban. Of course, it is also the pioneering work of Huaguo Xianxia drama.

The ratings of the first round of TV broadcast reached 10.78%, the ratings of the big IP "Little Fish and Flowers" launched in the same year were 8.8%, and the ratings of "No. 8.4 in the World" were [-]%, both of which were inferior.

Moreover, the popularity of webcasts is second only to "Dae Jang Geum" and "Moment in Beijing". The Korean drama "Dae Jang Geum" can be called a phenomenon. The most important one is Xu Jinjiang, who played the role of the Lord of Worshiping the Moon. The key is that this year, there are also many popular dramas such as "Bright Sword", "Lotus Lantern", and "Supreme Beauty".

甚至在16年后的2021年3月17日，拥有大陆版权的大宇资讯将电视剧改编权卖给了企鹅影视，【《仙剑奇侠传1》翻拍】这一话题的阅读量达到了惊人的8.1亿。

Netizens also often say that after so many years, Xianjian is still the pinnacle of domestic fairy tales.

All of the above are enough to prove the extensive influence of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1".

All in all, there is nothing wrong with choosing this TV series.

"Chen Yi, Chen Yi, you have to act well, otherwise how can you be worthy of the [superstar value] I spent?"

Django has never been in ink, and he will exchange it when he makes up his mind.

There are more artists bound, and the [superstar value] increases very quickly, but it is still a bit painful to use so many at once.

Next, the most important thing is to get the script done. The exchange is very fast and can be completed in minutes. The key is to polish and perfect it.

Before retreating, Jiang Ge called Chen Gan and asked him to have dinner with him in the afternoon.

"If you have a girlfriend, you forget about your brother. I really have you, Jiang Ge!" In Xihuqing, the first thing Chen Gan said when he saw Jiang Ge was to complain.

"Didn't I remember that?" Django smiled apologetically, he was indeed too busy after the year.

"Where's Ling Wei?"

"Going back to Shanghai, she has a class to attend."

"With Mr. Zhou's financial resources and your strength, why does she still work in a TV station?"

"Look at what you said, don't you also work in your father's company, and I also work in the same way, everyone has their own hobbies."

"Huh? Isn't your hobby being a prodigal?"

"Then you have to have family property to lose, right?"

……

The two chatted for a while, and when the dishes were ready, they started cooking.

When he was almost done eating, Chen Gan asked, "By the way, are you sure the new movie will be a horror movie?"

Django nodded and said, "Well, the script is almost out."

Chen Qian had no doubts about his ability, and he had a relationship of friendship, so he would invest even at a loss, so he asked casually, "What is the estimated cost?"

Jiang Ge thought for a while. According to the exchanged script information, the production and distribution cost of "Painted Skin" was 8000 million at that time, which was a lot more in 2008, so he said: "About 3 million, and the special effects will cost a lot of money."

When Chen Gan heard that it was a big production, he became more and more interested, and said: "When I'm free, I'll come to you to read the script, and I will transfer 2 million to you later. It's me, my dad and my second uncle." investment funds."

"Yeah." Django nodded, and then asked, "Shall I continue to diversify your investment?"

Chen Qian said indifferently: "You can arrange it freely."

Then, thinking of something, he said again: "Did Qian Song send you a WeChat message?"

Django shook his head and said, "No, what's the matter?"

Chen Qian explained: "He should have seen you say in the interview that the new movie is a horror movie, not a movie about the speed universe, and it is not easy to ask you directly, so he wanted to talk about it with me."

Django smiled and said, "If he asks you again, just tell him that the second movie of the Speed ​​Universe will start filming next year."

Qian Song himself likes racing cars. After watching "Initial D", he fell in love with racing movies. Making money is secondary, mainly to meet the needs of the spiritual world.

There are many racing movies on the earth, but not many have a good reputation and box office. "Fast and Furious" is a relatively successful series, but the story background of 123 movies is relatively early. If it is copied, there is a high probability that it will hit the street. If there is no previous If the plot starts from the middle, it will look very abrupt, so it is necessary to find a suitable entry point.

Django was thinking about these things.

At this moment, Chen Qian remembered another thing and asked, "Have you read the celebrity influence list announced by Weibo yesterday?"

Django shook his head and said, "A new one?"
