Chapter 446 The New Year Is Coming

Shen Xudong couldn't figure it out before, why he always likes to make remakes? Can't you just invest your money in new series?

Now, I probably understand, this is called risk aversion!

First, what is most indispensable in the film and television industry is various guidance opinions and various review restricted areas triggered by gossip.

In comparison, remakes of classic dramas are a little safer.

The second is that instead of spending a long time incubating an original script with uncertainty, choosing a remake that already has a fixed audience can maintain capital even if it turns over.

Because the TV station is willing to foot the bill!

Remakes generally have two prerequisites: the IP has a certain audience, and the previous work has achieved good results.

If there is an audience, there is a market; if there are achievements, there are mature experiences to learn from.

You have to make money while filming a TV series. Of course, you should choose something with low risk to make money.

If you Zhang Jian has connections and can secure the copyright, then you can make "Shanghai Beach" or "White Snake"!

Shen Xudong continued: "A series of classic Hong Kong films from ATV, such as "Fearless", "Hong Xiguan", and "I Have a Date with Spring" can all be remade!"

"...Isn't this difficult to do?"

"I do not know then…"

It’s definitely not easy to do. First of all, you need to get the copyright, and then you have to have TV stations to support you. Ordinary TV stations are not enough...

Not to mention anything else, the producers of "New Shanghai Beach" are one is SMG in Shanghai, and the other is Hunan TV and Radio Media. Does Zhang Jian have the ability to be the middle party?

Anyway, I have come up with an idea, and it will definitely make money. As for whether you can handle it, that is your business.

Who is this person? He's just someone who can make money. He's not a relative of mine!

If he hadn't given Chen Daoming face, Shen Xudong would have lost face long ago.

Zhang Jian sighed and talked about the past: "It used to be easy to film a movie. Once it was filmed, the TV stations would buy it...and they were rushing to buy it..."

"Yes, they were just reorganized in those few years...many TV stations are willing to buy dramas at high prices!"

We are talking about around 2000. Those years can be said to be the golden age of domestic dramas - Zhang Jizhong's "Blue Enchantress" sold a single episode for a sky-high price of 700,000!

In just two years, at the beginning of 2002, both cable TV stations and satellite TV stations across the country merged, and the Chinese TV market began to enter the "satellite TV" world.

So there was a unified purchase of movies - the average price of TV series was directly discounted from the previous 100,000 yuan per episode!

Shen Xudong naturally knows these things.

Of course, he didn't interrupt and just stayed there...

…

Dream Boat Club…

For Shen Xudong, joining or not will have little impact.

It’s not an official organization!

Of course, for Chen Daoming's sake, Shen Xudong still joined the meeting...

Then?

Then he went home, and the next day he went to give gifts to Feng Xiaogang.

Also had a meal…

The movie "The Night Banquet" has almost been filmed, and Feng Xiaogang himself doesn't like it!

The main reason why he made "The Banquet" was to prove that he was not shallow - his previous films were unanimously considered shallow by critics.

After filming, Feng Xiaogang had one thought: "...It's boring..."

"Blockbusters are just like this. They hire the best teams. What the director has to do is to coordinate. In addition, the theme of power and desire is too cliche..."

"I should just shoot "Mobile Phone 2"..."

"Not urgent…"

Then Feng Xiaogang asked about the movie collaboration between Shen Xudong and Chen Kexin.

"It's called "The Letter of Prosecution," and the theme is quite profound... and also very cruel... I guess it has a good reputation!"

"Then the box office will be bad?"

"...He found Li Lianlian...the box office shouldn't be too bad...Chen Kexin's skills are not weak!"

We just chatted for a few words, mainly Feng Xiaogang's mind was filled with "The Night Banquet"...

In fact, the release of "The Night Banquet" also took some twists and turns. It was originally a Lunar New Year movie, but the cost was too high and it needed to be released quickly to collect funds. On the other hand, the Lunar New Year movie schedule was too crowded;

Later I wanted to put it on the National Day schedule, but Jackie Chan's "Baby Project" has already been scheduled for National Day!

Just change it to September 3rd!

Bringing it back, after Chen Daoming and Feng Xiaogang, there is Zhang Guoli.

Zhang Guoli has been completely promoted to a big boss in the TV series circle - the TV series he participates in will definitely be bought by TV stations!

However, all his energy now is devoted to his son...

And it's the kind where the whole family plays together, "Dragon is not a dragon or a phoenix is ​​not a phoenix", "Young Jiaqing", "The New Biography of Jigong", three dramas in a row...

…

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the house was very lively, Zhao Linhai, Zhao Xin and Liao Gaoxiang came!

Their parents had already heard about the three of them, and when they met, they were not restrained and chatted casually about some interesting campus stories.

Liao Gaoxiang also talked too much about Shen Xudong being chased by many girls.

Mother Shen was anxious: "Then why doesn't he agree?"

Shen Xudong rolled his eyes: "...Didn't you say that college should focus on academics?"

"You listen to me so much? Then I asked you to go to Communication University, but you won't go?"

"...Didn't I pass the interview..."

Shen Xudong explained casually, and then complained: "Mom, I'm only 23, I must put my career first..."

Shen Mingguang answered: "That's right, your son is so handsome, so don't worry about him!"

"How can I not be worried? I am 23 this year and will be 30 after the Chinese New Year!"

Shen Xudong was speechless. Just as he was about to answer, Shen's mother suddenly asked a question: "I read that the report said that your circle is not clean and there are many hidden rules?"

"Don't look blindly... Anyway, I must be clean myself!"

Shen Xudong looked at Zhao Linhai and the others: "Tell me, is there such a thing?"

Zhao Xin and Liao Gaoxiang all looked at Zhao Linhai. At this time, of course the boss should come out to explain!

Zhao Linhai struggled for a while and explained: "This thing is about your own will... Anyway, we must have never met each other before. We are just small screenwriters and have no say!"

That’s very well said, I give you a thumbs up!

Then Shen’s mother’s gaze shifted to Shen Xudong: “Aren’t you a producer?”

"...Producers are also wage earners, and whoever pays is the boss... Let me tell you this, any character who seems awkward to you and who has a lot of characters after the show must be a relative of the investor..."

"Or lover?"

"right!"

Just as Mother Shen was about to ask more questions, Shen Mingguang stood up and said, "Don't stay here any longer. Don't you feel uncomfortable without the children? Let's go to the back room and watch TV!"

"…All right!"

After his parents left, the uncomfortable atmosphere in the room disappeared instantly. Zhao Linhai immediately asked: "Why does Auntie care about this?"

"...I urge marriage. I often read entertainment news online. I am worried that women in the entertainment industry are not worthy of her precious son..."

Whether you are worthy or not is another matter. Liao Gaoxiang was surprised: "...You are only 23 and you are being forced to get married?"

"There are too many people getting married at the age of 23 over there...all the sons of my mother's best friends are married!"

"...I'm telling you..."

Shen Xudong was helpless: "I told her not to read the news on the Internet, but to read it... Let's not talk about this. I heard that the company is in contact with the copyright of "The Swordsman". Is it settled?"
