Chapter 167 TV Series Production Is Very Simple (34)
Chapter 167 TV series production is very simple...(34)
Investing in movies?
"To put it lightly, let's not talk about whether the two movies can be a hit or not. Why should people accept your investment? Can you help promote it or help increase theater arrangement?"
"But you are the screenwriter!"
Shen Xudong asked: "So? Feng Xiaogang is still the director, and I haven't seen him participate in the investment!"
Gao Fenfen said: "...So, when he formed a company, he just wanted to be his own investor, make his own films, buy and make money!"
"...Film investment is never that easy. First of all, the process of dividing a film can be as short as 3 months or 6 months, or as long as 1 to 2 years. Moreover, the first person to divide the money is the theater chain, and then the announcement, production, and joint Investors have to queue up. Secondly, the film production process has low transparency, low controllability, and high risks. For laymen without sufficient knowledge reserves, industry information, and financial reserves, there is a high probability that they will walk in with a smile or cry. Carry it out..."
"We are all insiders~"
Shen Xudong still disagreed: "I don't agree anyway. It's better to invest in a TV series than in a movie!"
Gao Fenfen, who was on the other end of the phone, heard this and his voice obviously became louder: "The TV series...yes, why didn't I think of the TV series?"
"...What do you think? Are you going to stop doing "Treasure Appraisal"?"
"...I can't do it. I've calculated the accounts, hired experts, hosts, and set up a video studio. We can't do it without 800,000 yuan..."
"No way? Is it so expensive?"
"Can't you be more beautiful in the first two periods?"
"...I even asked you to find a TV station to cooperate with..."
Gao Fenfen said helplessly: "I found it, and this time I made a wedding dress for the TV station... The TV station took away the idea..."
"…uncooperative?"
"They made their own plans!"
Shen Xudong looked angry: "It's so shameless!"
"...So, I discussed it with my dad and gave this program to the TV station..."
"Then how do we make money?"
"I didn't think about it...the separation of production and broadcasting. Now it seems that we are not planning to separate. The TV station will create its own programs..."
Shen Xudong was surprised: "Aren't you going to separate production and broadcasting again?"
Gao Fenfen sighed: "This policy changes every day, and no one knows the final decision..."
Shen Xudong thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Then...if you want to invest, just invest in TV. I wrote "Beauty's Scheming" for Chen Hao. After the filming of "Golden Branches" is completed, I will start the drama and be the main director. The investor is Chengtian Entertainment. Let me tell them that they should be willing to add another investor~ In addition, "Sword of Immortality" can also be invested..."
"...Let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow..."
"I have to write a manuscript tomorrow...I don't have time!"
"...Then I will go to your school to find you~"
Shen Xudong: "I'm not at school...forget it, you can come to XX Community tomorrow..."
"OK!"
…
Regarding the separation of production and broadcasting, the origin was in 1999. At the end of 1999, Document No. 82 released the signal for the separation of production and broadcasting, and then a number of private TV program production companies suddenly became prosperous.
Dong Chaohui, Wang Changtian, Sun Jianjun, Lu Xingdong. He led four companies, namely Joy Media, Enlight Media, Paige Taihe, and Tanglong International respectively, in an attempt to build a private TV territory. People at that time called him the "Four Young Masters of the Private Industry".
In the early days, it was very smooth. Taking Dong Zhaohui's Happy Media as an example, it created "Happy Story" at a cost of 250,000 per issue and sold it to the TV station for 30,000 per issue...
TV stations are also willing to buy...
After the provincial satellite TVs grow in size, if a local satellite TV broadcasts a program and TV viewers across the country can see it, it will be impossible for other satellite TVs to buy it, and the profit margin of the program will be completely compressed...
Then, provincial satellite TV stations saw the benefits of producing programs and began to produce them themselves!
And I’m really willing to spend money!
The TV station originally intended to spend 5 times or 10 times the cost to produce programs for its own team than outside.
I would rather give my team 200,000 yuan to make an episode, and the price offered to a private company is 50,000 yuan per episode. If it doesn't sell, it will be pulled down.
Private programs and their competition are not at the same starting point.
It should be that beginning in 2004, the separation of production and broadcasting encountered a cold wave. Brand-name programs of private companies were "invited" out of prime time and prime channels, and cooperation with TV stations at the capital level was mostly stranded.
The copyright of "Daily Entertainment Broadcast", which was co-operated by Happy Media and BJ TV, was taken away by a powerful TV station three years later.
Enlight Media also encountered similar problems...
Light's flagship program "Entertainment Live" was "adjusted" out of the BJ station that it has cooperated with for 5 years.
Everyone had to consider transformation. Enlight began to focus on TV and film businesses, and Happy Media also began to invest in movies - "Ouchi's Secret Dog", "Mars Is All Right", and "The Tomb" were all invested by Happy Media...
Why invest in movies?
Because compared to the television field, the film field is actually more market-oriented. Box office determines everything, directly affecting the audience...
When is a good time to exert force?
11 years!
Video websites have begun to rise and have become new broadcast channels, and content has once again become the core of competition for broadcast platforms...
In 2019, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television once again issued the document "The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television on Promoting the Reform of "Separation of Production and Broadcasting" in Radio and Television (Revised Draft)", which clearly stipulates that "except for film and television dramas, the proportion of TV stations purchasing programs from the market shall, in principle, not be lower every year" 30% of the total broadcast volume."
30% of the market purchases programs, which is enough for these private companies to struggle...
…
It was three o'clock in the afternoon when I met Gao Fenfen. Shen Xudong had finished writing the script for the thirty-eighth episode, and there were two episodes left...
The last chapter of the original work of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is actually on the top of Mount Huashan. This chapter mainly talks about the origin of the Third Discourse on Swords and the Nine Suns Scripture. The new characters involved in it, Jue Yuan and Zhang Junbao, are characters in Yitian. …
So this chapter is tantamount to paving the way for the next book.
The so-called third sword discussion was just a matter of words and not fought at all, so the climax of the book, the fierce battle in Xiangyang, has already been told!
Under normal circumstances, when capital investors invest in TV dramas, one project is a stand-alone project, and two novels are never filmed consecutively. Therefore, there is no need to film the last chapter when only telling the outline of the story of the Condor alone!
Of course Shen Xudong can’t write...
But he wanted the ending to end with Guo Xiang feeling lost, seeing the Condor Heroes walking away...
"It's a good meeting today, and we are very happy. We will meet again in the rivers and lakes one day, and we will have a drink and have a good time. Let's say goodbye." After saying this, he flicked his robe sleeves, took the hand of the little dragon girl, and walked down the mountain side by side with the divine eagle.
At that time, the bright moon was in the sky, the breeze was blowing the leaves, and the crows were chirping on the top of the tree. Guo Xiang couldn't bear it anymore, and tears came out of her eyes.
The artistic conception is far away…
It's normal. There will be no more Five Jue in later generations, and no one will mention the Five Jue. There is no Jiangnan Seven Monsters. There is no Peach Blossom Island or Baihua Valley...
The Divine Condor is not the end of the legend of several heroes, but the end of the story of the heroes of an era...
Moreover, although Yang Guo, Guo Jing, Huang Yaoshi, Old Naughty Boy, Master Yideng, etc. worked together to kill Jinlun Dharma King and win a battle, the wheel of history cannot change...
It was only a matter of time before Guo Jing and others died fighting to defend Xiangyang City...
Therefore, this thing is destined to be a tragedy!
Look at what Zhang Jizhong thinks. If he is not satisfied, then change it!
Bringing it back, Gao Fenfen saw Shen Xudong and asked directly: "Why do we need to jointly invest? Can't we invest on our own? When it comes to programs, the TV station won't hesitate to cooperate, but for TV series, I think the TV station should pay for it!"
Shen Xudong asked: "...how to do it? Can you do it?"
Gao Fenfen is very confident: "...You have the script, let's find a producer, a director, and a few actors. Making a TV series is not that complicated!"
