Chapter 307 Preliminary Division of Accounts (34)

Shen Xudong is not showing off...

Usually when he says it doesn't matter, he really means he doesn't care!

But "Sword of Immortality"...

Zhao Xin expressed his disbelief at Shen Xudong's attitude: "Didn't I hear you say you were going to write an open letter two days ago?"

"No need!" Shen Xudong waved his hand: "I can't even convince you. How can an open letter convince netizens' inherent thoughts?"

"Then you should write it. If you don't write it, how will they know your idea of ​​adapting it?"

"...If I write it, they won't accept it. Instead, they will seize the content of the open letter, find loopholes word for word, and then turn it into a weapon of attack... It would be better not to write it!" After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "These people The game "Sword of Sword" is regarded as 'faith' and it is impossible to accept any adaptation!"

"Then you followed the game plot..."

"If we really follow the plot of the game, it will be over in ten episodes at most. Moreover, Li Xiaoyao in the game is not perfect. Even if he provokes Lin Yueru, why should he provoke Anu?"

Zhao Xin didn't want to argue with him and warned: "I can't tell you...but I want to tell you that the main reason why there is a TV series about "Sword of Immortal" is because of the popularity of the game. Without the game, there would be no TV series at all. !

"...I...I understand..."

This is the voice of fans of the original book. Shen Xudong was helpless: "So, I can't speak out anymore. I have many fans. Have you ever thought about it, if my fans know that I have been insulted by fans of the "Sword" game, guess what? What will they do?"

"...They don't know now?"

"If I don't speak, it means I don't care about this matter..."

Liao Gaoxiang interjected: "Is "Sword of Immortal" scolded? I think it's quite good-looking!"

"You've never played the game, so naturally you think it's good..."

"Look, you said so!"

"what did I say?"

"I haven't played the game before, so I think it's good... Then how many of the audience do you think have played the game?"

Zhao Xin shut up, and Liao Gaoxiang talked about "Meteor Butterfly Sword". Zhao Xin was confused: "Didn't you say you would make "Happy Heroes" first?"

Liao Gaoxiang chuckled: "Isn't this a bottleneck..."

Shen Xudong picked out the words: "It's not the bottleneck, it's that I don't know how to write..."

"A meaning!"

Zhao Xin immediately suggested: "Why can't I write something? The first three episodes are about Guo Dalu's escort career..."

Shen Xudong was confused: "Are you going to introduce them one by one and then let them gather at Fugui Villa?"

"...It doesn't seem to work..."

Shen Xudong didn't need to speak now. Even Liao Gaoxiang couldn't stand listening: "There is no such thing as filming a TV series!"

…

In TV dramas, especially martial arts dramas, you have to have a small climax right at the beginning to attract the audience. Otherwise, who would have the patience to follow it?

"Happy Heroes" will be paused for now and let's talk about "Fairy Sword"...

"Sword" is not only meaningful to Shen Xudong, but also has a very special meaning to Gao Fenfen - the first TV series co-produced by Tianmei Company!

Therefore, she is particularly concerned about the reputation and ratings of this TV series.

After the broadcast, I exchanged news with Cai Yinong every day...

Then she was a little surprised, because she found that the ratings of "Sword of Immortality" were not particularly high, and was completely crushed by "Emperor of Han Dynasty". By the way, there was also "Blissful Foreign Pig Bajie" at the same time...

But "Sword of Immortal" sold particularly well...

Whether it’s DVD sales or TV stations purchased…

Covering almost most provinces and cities across the country.

A truly hit drama!

She didn't quite understand. It stands to reason that popular dramas must have high ratings or be topical.

For example, several of Zhang Jizhong's Jin Yong dramas have a poor reputation, but they cannot sustain high discussion...

Because it is supported by Jin Yong’s original work?

The same Jin Yong dramas, "The Secret of the City" and "Xia Ke Xing" sold very poorly!

"The Secret of Linking the City" has a very good reputation!

She asked Chen Xi, who explained: "After all, "Fairy Sword" is the first TV series adapted from a game... and it is also the first fairy tale drama. Two firsts. It accounts for the gimmick, and the online discussion is still very high!"

“It’s useless to have discussions on the Internet, right?”

"It's still useful. Baidu has a search ranking list, and "Sword" is already among the top ten popular dramas!"

"I know..." Chen Xi mentioned Baidu, and Gao Fenfen immediately said angrily: "I logged on to Baidu and searched for "Sword of Immortality", and a bunch of websites had pirated copies... These websites were just for broadcasting, and they didn't even pay royalties! Yes! Sue them?"

Chen Xi sighed: "It's hard to say. I've consulted a lawyer, and the lawyer said that in principle, we can sue... but it's hard to fight a lawsuit..."

"...Eh..." Gao Fenfen was about to say something when the door opened and Shen Xudong walked in. She hurriedly said: "Xudong is here, sit down quickly!"

"What's wrong?"

Shen Xudong sat down with curiosity on his face. Then Chen Xi talked about the piracy of Internet videos. The latter smiled: "I heard they said that the country now supports the Internet... TV series are a little better. At least some TV stations will spend money. That gang Those who play music are in dire straits, they can’t make even a dime!”

Chen Xi immediately retorted: "The ring tones business can still make money!"

Shen Xudong took out his mobile phone, clicked on the music interface, played the song 'Sunny Day', and then said: "Now Kugou and Kuwo have launched online download functions. An MP3 or mobile phone can install more than 100 songs. Who can step on the horse?" Are you still buying records and downloading ringtones?”

"What should we do? Who will release records in the future?"

"Digital records, the platform attaches great importance to copyright, and the most important policy aspect is to crack down on these... No, why are you talking about this?"

"Cai Yinong called me 6.8 million, saying it was the first installment of accounts... I did the math and found that if the Huli.com platform also gave me money, I could at least earn hundreds of thousands more!"

"How much did we vote?"

"6000000"

"Why is it only 6.8 million?"

"Didn't I say that the first installment will be split!"

That’s right, it doesn’t mean that you will be given money after signing the contract. Generally, 50% will be paid and the rest will be remitted...

This is still a hit show.

If the ratings are not good, the remaining money will not be given!

The current situation is a little better, and "Sword and Fairy" is not expensive to sell. Basically, 60% is paid directly... and the rest is given after the broadcast.

Shen Xudong probably knew a little bit about the situation, so he was quite surprised: "So you made money in the first period?"

"I don't know...I guess Cai Yinong advanced some money!"

Chen Xi calculated the accounts and then said: "She didn't take any commission from the issuance fee..."

According to her calculation, the current revenue of "Sword and Fairy" should be 26 million, and Tianmei Company's due share is 6.8 million. That's right, but... the publisher must pay some publicity fees to sell the drama!

Tang Ren deliberately did not calculate the distribution expenses.

"Tsk, tsk, it's all about your face!"

Shen Xudong was delighted: "We still need to cooperate in the future..."

"I heard that there are two more episodes of "Legend of Sword and Fairy". Do you want to continue to be a screenwriter?"

Shen Xudong immediately shook his head: "Even if you kill me, I won't touch the fairy sword anymore...I'm talking about "Zhu Xian"!"
