446: New Life
"There are basically no problems with the crew. We will wait for you to confirm the time to start work. Search on Google to read." Mo Lan has been following up on the preliminary preparations for "People on the Road" recently.
"Let's set it for May 5th, just after May Day." Jiang Ge has rested for more than ten days, spending time with his parents and Zhou Lingwei.
"Okay, I'll notify you later." Mo Lan nodded, and based on his opinion on turning on the phone, he then added: "I have something to tell you. Over in Korea, SM Company has contacted me and wants to Customize a drama.”
SM Company, a big brother in the Korean entertainment industry, has more than a dozen boy and girl groups.
but,
Rarely involved in movies and TV series.
Jiang Ge was slightly surprised and asked: "We probably don't have much influence in Korea. How come they thought of asking us to customize a drama?"
A smile flashed in Mo Lan's eyes, and she replied: "You are wrong about this. First of all, although Chen Yi quit the group before, he still has many fans in Korea, and he has joined every song released by the company. All of them are operated in South Korea and are frequent visitors on the rankings. Secondly, every movie and TV series of the company are also operated in South Korea. TV series such as "White Night" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy", and movies such as "The Swordsman" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are both very popular, and Shiyue, Yansi, Gong Li and others are very popular in Korea. "
It turns out that Jiang Ge’s thoughts were mainly on China and Hollywood. Japan and South Korea were almost ignored. In fact, they were also very good markets, so he said: "Then, what kind of drama do they want to customize? Let’s see what I can do Can't write."
Mo Lan explained: "In recent years, the most popular types of TV dramas in South Korea have been romance dramas, suspense thrillers and family ethics dramas. SM has just begun to expand into the film and television industry, so it chooses the safest romance dramas."
"Idol drama..." Jiang Ge rubbed his chin, and several Korean dramas he had watched in his previous life on earth immediately popped into his mind. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Well, let the marketing department do a survey. I will first look at the recent Korean dramas. What kind of popular romantic drama is it? Is it possible to write it?”
Mo Lan nodded and said, "I'll make arrangements."
Django can be exchanged for Korean dramas on Earth in the system mall, but you need to understand the Korean market first and find dramas according to the situation. Although there are many [Superstar Values], they cannot be used indiscriminately.
In the next few days, quotations for "Nirvana in Fire" were sent one after another.
Yanjing TV, 14.35 million per episode.
Dragon TV, 14.55 million per episode.
Youku, 8.7 million for a single episode.
Mango TV, 9 million per episode.
The quotations of these companies are one step higher than those of Lizhi TV and iQiyi.
Now, the only ones missing are the richest ones, Blueberry TV, Mango TV, Penguin Video, and Watermelon Video.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the total price of this star + webcast is 1.3 billion." Chen Qian was speechless after reading the quotation, and sighed: "It's much easier to make than building a building for us."
Jiang Ge shook his head, smiled, and said, "Take off the cost and see how much is left."
Chen Qian asked: "How much does it cost?"
Jiang Ge raised his eyebrows and said: "A total of 500 million before and after."
Chen Gan said "Uh" and said, "There really isn't much left."
"A good drama requires not only the script and actors, but also the production. All these are money." Jiang Ge changed the topic and said: "However, overseas versions, gamification, novelization, etc., have to wait for the first round. Operations will start after the broadcast, so there will still be money coming in for some time to come. ”
Chen Gan nodded and said: "I understand, it's like the old version of "Journey to the West", which is broadcast on TV stations every summer vacation and has paid copyright fees for decades."
As he spoke, curiosity arose and he asked: "Tell me, how much will the other companies get?"
Jiang Ge pondered: "The total price is estimated to not exceed 1.5 billion. Any higher will be a premium."
Gudou
Chen Qian pouted and said, "Yes, the ratings and broadcast volume are linked to their income, so they will definitely not do a loss-making business."
Jiang Ge said quite confidently: "I'm not bragging at all. If I buy this drama "Nirvana in Fire", I will only make a profit, not a loss."
Chen Qian chuckled and said, "That's natural. This is the work of your hard work."
There are still three days left for the quotation period for "Nirvana in Fire", and before that, the May 1st deadline has arrived.
The reason why holidays have become prime time is because in this society where the pace of life is accelerating, these are the few days when everyone can have a good rest.
During the day, major scenic spots are overcrowded, and at night, almost all movie theaters are full.
Judging from the promotional posters posted in the cinema, the main promotions are "The Prince Is Not Calm" by the Open Sesame team, Zhang Shucheng's "Dragon Warriors 2" and Django's "Kung Fu Panda", and the total number of films produced is as high as 90%.
but……
It is a fact that animated movies are not well received by movie theaters. In many cases, it is because of good reviews but not box office success. "Kung Fu Panda" has the lowest film schedule among the three, only 24%. If it were not for Django's name, it would be difficult to get over 10%. .
In fact, most of the people who chose to watch this movie came because of Django.
Jiang Ge and Zhou Lingwei came to the mountain city during the May Day holiday. They visited Youyang Peach Garden during the day and went to Beicheng Tianjie UME Cinema in the evening.
Because it was in a shopping mall, there were a lot of people. The two of them wore caps and masks and were not recognized for the time being. After scanning the QR code to get their tickets, they found a place to sit and wait to enter.
Not far from them, Zhang Zhengyao was preparing to take his wife and children to see a movie. Because he was busy with work and didn't have much time to spend with his family, it was a pleasure to be able to go out and play together, even if it was just to watch a movie.
Their son is called Li Muchen, who is six years old this year.
With the child, the choice of movies was limited. It couldn't be too bloody, violent, or profound, so it was between "The Prince Is Not Cool" and "Kung Fu Panda", one is a comedy and the other is an animation.
"Which one do you choose?"
"I can choose either one."
"How about letting your son decide?"
"Okay."
The couple handed over the right to choose. Li Zhengyao picked up his son and asked, "Chenchen, which movie do you want to watch?"
Li Muchen said nothing, pointed to a poster with a giant panda and shouted, "Watch this!"
Sure enough...
The couple looked at each other and laughed. Children have no resistance to cartoons.
Li Zhengyao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll watch cartoons with you today."
His wife nodded and said, "I'll go buy the tickets."
Seeing that his parents didn't stop him from watching cartoons today, Li Muchen clapped his hands happily and said, "Yeah, Mom and Dad, you're so nice!"
This child...
In fact, they preferred "The Prince Is Not So Calm", but since entering the cinema, they saw their son running back and forth in front of the poster of "Kung Fu Panda" several times. It can be seen that he really wants to watch it, but he has been limited to watch cartoons at home. Now it's vacation, so it's just a reward for him.
