Chapter 503 New Media Copyright

"So, the boss of our company is Director Shen?"

In the company, two women came into Chen Xi's office, one was Zhong Lifang and the other was Yu Hua.

Zhong Lifang was specially invited by Shen Xudong to take charge of the company's film and television business, while Hua Hua was Chen Hao's agent and is now the director of the artist management department...

The two of them were asking Chen Xi for advice.

"Yes, but he is not involved in the company's operations and management...no, he is the director of the company's film and television department..."

"Where's Mr. Gao?"

"President Gao is responsible for the daily operations of the company..."

"Doesn't she care about project approval?"

Chen Xi thought for a while and then said: "Of course I care, but... as long as it is a project proposed by Xudong, she will not consider it at all and pass it directly!"

"I said, how come the project "Soldier Assault" was won by our company!"

The original copyright of "Soldier Assault" belonged to a company in Shanghai, but after they bought it back, they never developed it, and then it was cut off by Shen Xudong.

Oh, while "Soldier Assault" became a hit, it also improved Shen Xudong's reputation.

Many press releases were issued...

"Wulin Gaiden" and "Soldier Assault", two phenomenal TV series in 2006 were both produced by Shen Xudong.

By the way, there’s also “Crazy Stone”!

Shen Xudong's reputation began to spread outside the circle...

Zhong Lifang suddenly remembered something: "I heard they said that Director Shen went to the United States?"

"Yeah...it seems like he's been back in the past two days."

"Why is he going to America?"

"Let's make a movie, it seems to be about teenage pregnancy...what's it called "Juno"..."

"Teenage pregnancy, like "Precocious Mature"?"

"Precocious", starring Jaycee Chan and Fiona Sit, tells the story of a teenage couple who secretly tasted forbidden fruit during their relationship, resulting in the girl becoming pregnant, thus triggering a "war" between the two families...

"I don't know, he didn't let me read the script..." Chen Xi explained: "This play was invested and produced by the studio he established himself..."

"Why?"

"Because I came up with this project myself..."

"who?"

Shen Xudong had already come in and greeted him warmly: "Sister Zhong, Sister Hua Hua..."

…

Any company with more than five people will always take sides...

Tianmei Media is no exception.

After several rounds of recruitment expansion, Tianmei Media is now a complete media company, with a production department, administration department, screenwriting department, publicity, distribution, public relations department, etc., totaling more than 300 people!

Generally speaking, a film and television company with more than 50 people is considered a large company.

Hualubaina, which has produced "Double-sided Tape" and "A Beautiful Era for Wifes", only had 30 people at the beginning.

Tianmei Media has more than 300 people, so there must be some internal partisanship.

This problem...cannot be eliminated.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

It's not serious actually.

What do film and television companies rely on?

What a work!

As long as there is nothing wrong with the work, you can tear it up if you like!

Shen Xudong has two core departments: the film and television department and the screenwriting department. The rest doesn't matter!

Oh, now he's ready to get involved in artist management.

After all, the company's future listing depends on the artist's popularity...

There is no way. In the next five years, the market value will be increased by the popularity of artists. Just pull in a few first-line celebrities and make a PPT to increase the market value.

Again, film and television companies are asset-light and rely mainly on talents. Therefore, the Huayi Brothers acquired Dongyang Meila for 1.05 billion and acquired Dongyang Haohan for 756 million...

…

"We must continue to work on military themes. The hit "Soldier Assault" has made this theme popular. We have no reason to let go... "The Last Bullet for Me" can be made into a trilogy. I discussed it with Teacher Liu Meng..."

When Shen Xudong returned to China, he did not deal with such trivial matters.

I immediately found Gao Fenfen and chatted about the TV series...

"Wu Jing was cast as the lead in the first film, Zhang Jing was cast in the second, and Wu Yue was cast in the third... I have already planned it all. Director Zhang Qian of the Bayi Film Studio will serve as the producer. Sister Zhong, you should also go and learn!"

"In addition, my senior brother's "Line of Life and Death"... didn't the Shanying team say they are interested? We can let them do it!"

"Line of Life and Death" had been completed before "Soldier Assault" and "My Commander, My Regiment", but because the production difficulty was very high, no one dared to do this scene...

Kang Honglei’s team is not enough!

"... Xudong, Shangjing and Enlight Media jointly produced "Behind the House". Do we want to invest in it?"

"You don't have to ask me about this kind of thing, you decide for yourself!"

Shang Jing's reputation is booming now. Regardless of the quality of "Behind the House," it will definitely make money.

Gao Fenfen nodded: "My idea is to follow the investment... because the writing team thinks this drama is not interesting..."

"Then let's vote!"

Shen Xudong nodded casually...

Gao Fenfen continued: "The filming of "Myth" has already started..."

Shen Xudong immediately answered: "The filming of "Myth" has started? Isn't Brother Hu filming "The Condor"?"

"..."The Condor Shooting" will be pushed back later. After all, "The Myth" is more important..."

It's good. If I hadn't filmed "The Condor", I probably wouldn't have had a car accident!

"The Myth" was filmed in the Zhuojun Film and Television Shooting Base and the Three Kingdoms Film and Television City, far away from Hengdian...

Besides, Brother Hu directly signed a three-month schedule and was not allowed to leave the crew in the middle...

For his own good.

In my memory, this guy was involved in an accident in August this year!

After saying this, Gao Fenfen took the initiative to chat about "Soldier Assault"...

It's not just the TV station's broadcast rights that make money, you should know that all the actors in "Soldier Assault" are basically signed by the company. Now that they have become famous in one fell swoop, this profit is not small.

Regarding the plans of this group of people...

"Let the agency manage this... I don't have any opinion on actors taking on roles. These people have been suffering for several years. If there is an opportunity to make money, let them make more... Of course, the company's military dramas and spy war dramas are all Consider them!”

"I think so too..." At this point, Gao Fenfen suddenly remembered something: "There is a video website called Jieshi.com that wants to package our new media copyright..."

New media copyright…

In the original time and space, the ten-year new media copyright of "Wulin Gaiden" is 100,000 yuan, and a single episode is 1,250 yuan...

It actually made entertainment headlines.

Then at the end of the next year, the General Administration and the Ministry of Information jointly issued "Order No. 56", requiring all program content broadcast by video websites to have formal copyright...

Of course, until 2009, the price of genuine copyrights, especially those of solo dramas, skyrocketed...

It’s increased a hundred times in three years!

Therefore, selling copyright now is a stupid act...

Shen Xudong quickly asked: "...you didn't sell it, did you?"

Gao Fenfen rolled her eyes at him: "Of course I have to discuss such a big matter with you..."

Although the amount is not high, it involves the new media copyright of all dramas...

Shen Xudong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good...Listen to me, let's not sell it yet. I estimate that the national policy on the authenticity of new media will be announced in a year or two at most..."

Gao Fenfen smiled: "I think so too. Piracy on video websites is too serious now, and it has already affected the interests of TV stations..."

"Influence…"

Well, it did affect the TV station - the TV station lost a lot of viewers through direct and aboveboard piracy of the complete series!

Shen Xudong originally wanted to ask Gao Fenfen to contact several TV production companies to cause a stir.

Now that I think about it, I don't think so.

But it's good to have a little fuss - there's milk for a crying child.

Just as he was about to say this, Gao Fenfen asked again: "Did you say when your movie "Juno" will be released?"
