Chapter 124: Establishment of a film and television company(1/2)

"It's great to be united, united, united."

At the front desk, Yang Siwei was very satisfied with looking at the big words Yixin Film and Television on the wall.

Behind him are company artists Yuan Hua and Li Yifeng.

"Okay, let's have a meeting," said Yuan Hua, who was wearing a suit and tie.

Yang Siwei came back to her senses: "Did you buy the copyright?

During this period, the two divided the work. She was responsible for handling the affairs of the Chrysanthemum, and Yuan Hua was responsible for selecting the site, decorating and recruiting people for the company.

Even Li Yifeng was pulled over to be a supervisor for a month.

In addition to these small matters, Yuan Hua is also responsible for another big project, buying copyrights to film.

After ate the benefits of being a loner in Thailand once, he wanted to be the protagonist and do film and television by himself.

"Just kidding, I can't handle anything I can do?" Yuan Hua glanced at his handbag. The contract he just signed was very warm.

"Do you want me to notify all departments?"

"No, just call up a few responsible persons."

It is said to be a film and television company, but in fact, Yixin is about the same scale as an ordinary studio. The office area is about 100 square meters, and his and Yang Siwei's offices account for 30 square meters.

There are more than a dozen employees, including team leaders, finance, assistants, legal affairs, public relations, and publicity. Often, there are only one or two people in one department.

Fortunately, the company's main service target is him, and adding Li Yifeng in the future will be more than enough.

"Why are you standing there? Come here!" Yuan Hua took a few steps and asked Li Yifeng to follow.

"Me?" Li Yifeng pointed at his nose.

He is not a company leader, but a little artist, and he has nothing to do with discussing film and television projects.

"Anyway, I have to talk to you afterwards, so as not to waste my talk. After entering, you don't have to speak, just listen."

"Oh well."

With a silly smile, Li Yifeng followed.

It doesn’t matter whether he can hold a meeting with the leader or not, at least it proves that he has weight in Yuan Hua’s heart.

There are six people in the conference room, plus Li Yifeng.

Yuan Hua opened his handbag and took out the copyright contract for the novel he had just signed: "Two projects, Ghost Blows Out the Light and Tomb Raiders' Chronicles, are all tomb robbery novels that are popular on the market. The film and television copyrights have been bought for ten years."

"The Ghost Blows Out the Light One Million, and the Tomb Raiders' Notes 800,000. The former has a single story chain, but there are many contents, which is suitable for the movie route, while the latter has many episodes, and each story tells differently, which is suitable for the TV route."

"The reason why Tomb Raiders' Chronicles is cheaper than Ghost Blowing Lights is because I promised to start the film within two years. The author is eager to see the adaptation of the work and agree to sell it at a cheap price."

Online literature has been developing for almost ten years, and it can be said to be prosperous. Top writers make no less money than celebrities.

The authors of Ghost Blowing Lights and Grave Robbers' Chronicles he has contacted are both physical books and earn five or six million a year.

I heard that the most popular author of Doupo Cangqiu earned tens of millions of dollars in one book, but he stopped studying in college, so he just buried his head in writing.

About 14 years of my previous life, Yuan Hua watched an issue of Tiantian Shang, and invited online writers, including Potato, Tang San, and Tomato.

Several people paid tens of millions of taxes per year when they wrote novels, and the most powerful one was Tang San, who exceeded 100 million. You can imagine how much money they made.

In other words, there are few online novels adapted now, and the copyright will be hyped up to tens of millions in a few years. Yuan Hua can't afford it even if he wants to.

"Next, our focus will be on the Tomb Raiders' Chronicles. We will first adapt the Seven Star Lu Palace Chapter and ask the screenwriter to write the script to Yang Siwei. I will see the script within two months."

"Xiao Zhang followed the script adaptation, and your focus was on the scene, so that they could draw the shooting venue for you."

Adaptations are not original, just follow the script, which can save a lot of effort. At least in terms of scripts, you can quickly get some lines. You don’t need to change them, just use the original text.

Yang Siwei raised her hand: "When will the shooting team be in place?"

"It's almost done, I should be able to come over at any time." Yuan Hua planned to ask Jing Tian for help.

Anyway, the time is still long and the script has not been released. Even if Jing Tian is powerless, he still has time to find the director and the shooting team.

"Where is investment required for capital intervention?"

"unnecessary."

Capital intervention means that the right to choose a role is not in his hands, and at least some roles are not allowed to be decided by him.

The investor recommended a powerful actor, but sending some mistresses over, isn’t it a piece of rat shit that ruins the soup?

"Then how much money can we take?" Yang Siwei asked a very critical question, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yuan Hua.

Filming is just about spending money, with a few million or more, and a few tens of millions of dollars. If you don’t have an investor, can Yuan Hua bear so much money alone?

"Six million." This was something Yuan Hua had carefully calculated.

Yang Siwei wanted to speak but stopped: "Is this your salary?"

The pay is six million, but you can imagine that investment is indispensable, so you can even get 30 to 40 million.

Yuan Hua: “…”

"Nothing, this is a production fee."

"Ah, is it enough?"

With a production fee of 6 million yuan, where is the house playing house? As soon as the actors are paid, they can’t afford to even have extra lunch boxes.

"Enough, the Seven Star Lu Palace is not long, and it has been adapted for more than ten episodes, with a production fee of 600,000 yuan per episode, which is also a big production."

Yang Simin is full of black lines: "Actors don't need to pay, they all act voluntarily?"

Yuan Hua looked at Li Yifeng: "He and I have one and the second male. His salary has been given, so I don't have to give it to me, but I can't say that to the outside world, just say my salary is 2 million and his 300,000."

"In addition, if the heroine lets Jing Tian play, she doesn't have to pay, and she claims to be paid 800,000 yuan."

"Six million plus two million, three hundred thousand plus eight hundred thousand, and eight hundred thousand, and eight hundred thousand to buy copyright 800,000, nine million and nine million. Forget it, make up an integer and claim to invest 10 million."

"Please restrain the script and make it into ten episodes, so we will be a fine crew with a single episode production fee of over one million."

Old Tie, nothing wrong!

The people present wanted to give Yuan Hua a thumbs up.

The last second was a small-cost TV series with a total investment of 6 million yuan. After he touched his mouth, he became a large crew with an investment of 10 million yuan and a single episode production fee of over one million yuan.

Brother Hua, you are a talented person and you should do real estate development.

After Yuan Hua explained, Yang Siwei never put down his frown. After he finished speaking, he said, "Are you kidding about the ten-episode TV series?"

Whose TV station broadcasts ten episodes of TV series?

At least you have to complete twenty or thirty episodes.

"Did I say it's a TV series?"

"What is that?"

"Have you heard of online dramas?"

Yuan Hua is not stupid. He spent so much money to make a ten-episode TV series, and even ten years of cerebral thrombosis can't do such a thing.

Like online articles, online dramas are becoming more and more mature now. The four overlords of iQi Video, Youku Video, LeTV and Tencent occupy the market.

The most powerful ones are iQi and Youku. At the beginning of last year, Youku Video was successfully launched.

According to incomplete statistics, there are 457 million domestic netizens and 284 million domestic online video users, and more than half of them have the habit of watching videos.

The most suitable playback platform for the ten episodes of Tomb Raiders is the Internet.

"You mean the kind of college students taking photos with their mobile phones?" After thinking for a long time, Yang Siwei said something, and the rest looked at each other.

It’s either that there is no way to broadcast the TV series online, or the myth is that the five million views a week breaks the online broadcast record, and now the number of views is 20 to 30 million.

But it was broadcast online by the TV series that was finished and was only broadcast to take care of the audience.

"I know a little about this." A group leader said: "Last year, Yuku Video bought the lurking online broadcast rights for 10,000 episodes."

The lurking is only sold for 10,000 episodes, so how much can the Grave Robbers' Chronicles be sold?

Two thousand per episode is only 200,000.

It's not enough for the crew to eat, stay and lunch boxes.

Yuan Hua patiently explained: "The first broadcast is different from online broadcasts. Myths and lurking are played online only after the TV station broadcast. The audience has been greatly reduced, so it is not surprising that the price is low."

"And the online market is changing with each passing day, and prices have been rising. As far as I know, the price of the myth sold to iQi Video this year is 170,000 yuan per episode."

In 2009, most people still watched TV. People had watched any drama with some quality, and few people were willing to watch it online for a second time.

Video websites are considered in this regard, so the price is low.

He said that the price of online broadcasts is really changing rapidly. In 2011, the drama Gong was purchased by Tengxun Video for a single episode of 1.85 million.

"After the script comes out, Siwei and iQi Video, Youku, and Tengxun have a contact with them to see what they think. It's best to sign the sales contract in advance."

"good!"

A good meeting was so lifeless that everyone was not very interested when they came out of the conference room, and they did their own things step by step.

Not to mention outsiders, they don’t even have much hope for Yuan Hua.
