In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 886 I’ll Go, so Crazy?

Fans Yang and Liu Yifei definitely have no hatred...

In the early years, the relationship between the two was quite good, and they worked together on "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"...

There was no quarrel with Cai Yinong in this time and space, so there was no such thing as "You thought you were Liu Yifei"!

However, there are only so many top-level resources. If you go up, I won’t be able to go up. I definitely can’t just sit back and watch the tall buildings rise.

Of course, it has not reached the level of vicious competition yet...

It’s not good and looks bad!

As for "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", the TV series has been given to Yang Xiaomi to star, and the movie version will definitely be her...

By the way, in the movie version and TV series version of "Why Shengxiaomo", Yang Xiaomi's fans did not tear Tang Yan apart. In "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", a bunch of fairy fans looked down on Yang Xiaomi...

Like a neurosis...

Yang Xiaomi couldn't explain, so she hesitated: "I just..."

Shen Xudong was very considerate and helped her add: "Don't you want to see her succeed?"

"Yes!" Yang Xiaomi admitted simply: "Why did she get so many high-quality resources so easily!"

High-quality resources?

Well, during those years when Liu Yifei was in the Hong Kong industry, her partners were all A-listers, or even beyond A-listers, such as Chow Yun-fat, Jackie Chan, Louis Koo, Ming Lai, Wang Leehom...

All heroines!

Not to mention that Yang Xiaomi was jealous of this resource, even Si Dan Shuangbing was envious of it!

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about “Butterfly Love”. The co-director Billy August has won the Cannes Palme d’Or twice, an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and is a top director in the literary and art circles!

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "She is different from you. She is busy acting in movies..."

Yang Xiaomi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I am also planning to enter the film industry and will not take on TV series for the time being..."

"Then what's wrong with you? Why don't you accept TV series?"

"…A good actor should act in movies!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Good actors go hand in hand with movies and TV shows. It doesn't matter which industry, the standard is a good cast. Besides, there are so many bad movies, it's better to act in TV series!"

Box office is no more valuable than ratings and click-through rates!

The ability of TV stars to carry dramas actually has the same commercial value as that of movie stars who can carry box office.

In those years, TV drama actors were vying to star in movies. The main reason was that the cycle was short and the money came quickly. Who wouldn't want to make a movie?

An actor can take on a maximum of two dramas a year, but for movies, he can take on four or five a year.

Later, Internet financier Dad appeared in the TV industry, competing to spend money on drama series to develop their own long-form video platform. The cost of TV series has jumped from tens of millions to hundreds of millions, and movie stars are returning to act in TV series...

All because of money!

Could it be that Zhang Ziyi acted in "Shangyang Fu" out of artistic considerations?

"Furthermore, the competition in the film industry is too fierce, unless you organize your own game, but can you guarantee the market if you form your own game?"

"you mean?"

"If you want to make money, don't reject TV dramas. You can consider switching to workplace dramas or life dramas..."

"...I'll think about it again."

"Um…"

Shen Xudong nodded and added by the way: "PPTV is making a homemade drama. There are a few scripts that are suitable for you. Do you want to take a look?"

"Homemade drama? Web drama?"

Shen Xudong frowned: "Look down on online dramas? Let me tell you, PPTV has already contacted Gong Li. After she finishes filming the two movies she is currently on, she will join the team to form an online drama!"

"Gong...Gong Li has already filmed an online drama?"

"Yes, the team is strong and the funds are abundant. We gave her US$800,000 per episode!"

"…Who is the male protagonist?"

"Donnie Yen, 300,000 US dollars per episode..." After a pause, Shen Xudong added: "If you are willing to take it, we can give you 20% of the investment in one movie, plus a remuneration of 15 million!"

"...I...read the script first!"

"Okay, I'll ask them to send you a script that suits you tomorrow..."

How did mainland streaming media develop?

In the beginning, I really relied on traffic, because fans of traffic are really unambiguous in spending money - the online drama "Tomb Raiders" directly added 5 million VIP payments to iQiyi...

Then the major platforms seem to have mastered the password, and they are praising the little fresh meat.

Path dependence is formed...

The problem is that the little freshmen are acting just to join in the fun. What can they do without making money?

The price of fresh meat with low traffic volume has naturally increased.

There was even a case where Lu Han was bought out of the three-month schedule of "The Chosen One" with RMB 100 million...

The two dramas "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" and "The Legend of Chu Qiao" hit new highs. As a result, female traffic born after 1985 has ushered in a good era, and various dramas with big female protagonists...

Therefore, it was reported that Youku and Tengxun fought directly at the drama purchase site in order to compete for "Emperor Phoenix Industry" (later renamed "Shangyang Fu")...

Of course, this trend goes away just as quickly as it came.

Later, "little fresh meat" became synonymous with bad dramas, and the same goes for dramas with big female protagonists.

Platforms are starting to compete for good content!

However, the contribution of traffickers to the initial stage of the streaming media platform is unquestionable.

Therefore, Yang Xiaomi, Zhao Liying, Tang Yan, and Liu Shishi under Tang Ren are all targets of Shen Xudong - targets of cooperation.

On September 24, "Tongque Terrace" was released for ten days, with a cumulative box office of 130 million...

This result is very good!

Of course, Zhao Linshan and Changying were not very satisfied - this movie used Japanese actors, just to gain some gains in the Japanese market.

Unfortunately, Japan has no intention of introducing benzene, but South Korea spent US$500,000 to buy out the copyright. I heard that the box office was not very good...

According to Zhao Linhai's words: struggling to maintain capital - the cost is close to 100 million...

Although Zhou Runfa joined at a reduced price, the behind-the-scenes lineup of "Tongquetai" is very expensive - the full photography team of "The Thirteen Hairpins". In addition, the soundtrack is by Shigeru Mei Lin, the art designer is Taneda Hinata, and the styling designer Xi Zhongwen is all the same. Big names in the industry…

However, there is no point in being dissatisfied. In 4 days, "Tai Chi 1: From Zero" will be released, and then "The Dragon King of God", "Dangerous Liaisons", "Second Exposure" and "Loop Messenger"...

Well, the intensity is evident!

Shen Xudong originally had no idea about this year's National Day release - obviously, "The Dragon King of Gods" was a hit all the way!

Except for "The Dragon King of God", the others are all bad movies, or relatively mediocre movies.

Not on the same level at all!

Then Chen Guofu came out to show off: "The movie I produced will definitely not lose. Let's cancel it..."

Of course, that's not what I said - I'm usually a reserved and low-profile person, and several movies have been added to the National Day schedule, which shows that people don't take "Tai Chi" seriously. I have never lost any of the films I have directed or produced in the Mainland, so I seriously advise you to carefully consider films of the same period!

Well, he meant careful consideration...

Very arrogant!

To be honest, Shen Xudong may think it's normal for Zhang Weiping to say such things, but Chen Guofu...

It doesn’t matter, everyone says the same!

Shen Xudong responded directly: "In my opinion, this is an invitation. Then let "The Dragon King of Gods" be released on the same day! In addition, the National Day schedule is not affected by the opponent, but the National Day expressway does not toll, and 300 million people We all travel...Don’t always limit your vision to the movie market, occasionally consider the broader environment!”
