Feature Shows Extravaganza

Director Tao finally won the right to broadcast the first round of Huolishaonianwang on the TV platform, and after promising to arrange the evening prime time broadcast as soon as possible, Director Tao enthusiastically persuaded Meng Lang to visit the TV station.

Meng Lang declined Director Tao's invitation. After leaving Jiangchuan TV Station, he took the nearest flight to Zhong Hai without stopping.

Zhonghai, Shangjing, Shonan, Pengcheng...

Meng Lang, who traveled around the country in one breath, reached a broadcast authorization agreement with twelve provincial TV stations.

Among the twelve TV stations, five promised to broadcast Huolishaonianwang on the comprehensive channel with a wider audience, and the remaining seven TV stations were all broadcast on children's channels.

While he was busy negotiating the broadcasting cooperation of Huolishaonianwang, in the film and television industry, an explosive news spread very quickly.

There is an idiot rich second generation who invested tens of millions to make a TV series, and gave it to the TV station for free...

Really? Is there such a fool? Is his family's money blown by the wind?

It's hard to say whether the money came from the wind. How is the quality of the TV series?

I asked someone to inquire about it. It's a bad movie! It's a completely bad movie! It's a special movie!

Special film? Then there are still people trying the old-fashioned genre film?

How else can you say that this person is a fool!

The discussions in the circle did not affect meng lang for the time being, probably because he was new here and had not met any insiders.

But soon, this wave of discussions in the circle soon spread to the Internet.

First, a well-known director of New Year's Eve films in China blasted on Weibo that the actors in the circle were paid too much, which led to an increase in production costs, but the quality of the finished film could not keep up with the cost.

Then boom and boom, this director nicknamed Little Cannon directly pointed out the key point, saying that the root of all problems lies in the influx of hot money from capital, which has brought too many bubbles to the film and television industry.

Speaking of this, the director complained: Is the influx of capital a good thing? Many people told me that the investor is generous, and there is no need to be restrained in filming. But I thought, the investor is happy to give money, but in response The actors' salaries have also gone up, minus the increased salary expenditure, isn't it the same as before?

This man is really disgusting!

The actors in the circle sneered at the director's speech, and even secretly scolded this guy. Pork was not so expensive before, why don't you say that the price of pork should not increase?

But I have to admit that although the director's speech made people in the circle dismissive, it was at least very popular among netizens.

Netizens supported Xiaopao one after another, saying that there have been more and more news about sky-high film salaries recently. The producers spend all their costs on the actors' film salaries. How can there be money to make good movies?

Originally, when the matter developed to this point, it was just a well-known director complaining about the rising salary of actors.

But Xiao Pao is not afraid of offending people when he speaks. It's fine to mention capital intrusion into the film and television industry, but he even cited Meng Lang as an example.

I heard something recently, I thought it was funny, so I told everyone.

In Jiangchuan, a film and television company was recently established. Originally, this is nothing, and capital invasion is not a matter of a day or two, and it will be established when it is established.

But this film and television company is incredible!

What's the big deal, people are backed by big capital, making a TV series just to make the boss happy, not trying to get back the money. I heard that a TV series was filmed in three months, and the investment was probably several million. After filming, I didn't think about selling it for money, so I gave it to the TV station for free.

When I heard this, I really felt sad for those colleagues in the TV industry. Everyone eats this bowl of rice, and naturally cherishes this bowl of rice very much.

Suddenly, a spoiler came out. He didn't like this bowl of rice, and even cooked a pot of pig food for the guests. The guests must be dissatisfied with the pig food and want to scold their mothers, who are they scolding? If the cook doesn't eat this bowl of rice, he runs away after cooking the pig food. If the guests can't find the culprit, why don't they catch other chefs and scold them?

In the end, the director concluded: The intrusion of capital into the film and television industry has brought about a rise in film wages. I am opposed to this. Of course, there are good and bad capital. We welcome capital like xx funds, but like a certain company in Jiangchuan We don't welcome capital like film and television companies!

In the airport waiting room, Meng Lang read the director's complaints on Weibo without saying a word.

Regarding his speech, meng lang did not say that he fully agreed with it, but at least partly agreed with it.

But Meng Lang was speechless about his behavior of setting himself up as a villain and vicious capital.

A filmmaker, why do you hate me for a special series?

And this metaphor is too much!

The quality of Huolishaonianwang is indeed not as good as those annual dramas, after all, the cost and positioning are here.

But no matter how you say it, it can't be called pig food, right?

Huolishaonianwang is a special-shooting drama for children that is wrapped in a TV drama shell but is actually a toy advertisement.

Since it is for children to see, then this standard is in place.

Is The Legend of Zhen Huan good-looking? nice!

But do kids like it? dislike!

That's the difference between the two!

According to Meng Lang's analysis, the director who fired on Weibo probably didn't even know what drama Huolishaonianwang was, and he only mentioned it purely for venting.

When The Huolishaonianwang started filming, Meng Lang never thought about selling the broadcasting rights. A well-packaged Yo-Yo promotional advertisement would be good if it was broadcast on the TV station without paying a premium. How could you expect to sell it? Broadcasting rights recover costs.

I don't know what's wrong with this world!

Meng Lang thought about it for a long time and still couldn't figure it out. Obviously, all countries in the world have perfect copyright protection mechanisms, and pirated and fake products have been hit hard and disappeared.

In this case, the film and television derivatives industry will at least become a major source of income, not to mention a wave of leapfrog development.

But the problem is, he searched the search engines in this world for a long time, but he didn't find anyone in this world who had engaged in the development route of film + toys.

The domestic Aofei animation is gone... Bandai is going to engage in semiconductors! Hasbro has become a cosmetics company, and Disney seems to have never appeared...

There is indeed a film and television IP derivatives industry! There are indeed film and television IP toys for sale...

But the problem is that the development of film and television IP derivatives in this world focuses on completeness rather than specificity!

In other words, for a popular film and television work, there may be toys, novels of the same name, games, clothing, mobile phone cases and other products on the market, but these are all incidental developments.

No one thought at all that I'm going to make a TV series/movie just to sell toys (spin-offs). Most of them develop some derivative products incidentally after finishing a TV series/movie.

The starting point is different, and the end result is naturally also different.
