Chapter 55: The Curve to Save the Nation
Around him is a director, or a preparatory director, and his project "The World of the World" has received a special investment from the film channel.
Many people saw the movie channel’s logo saying CCTV6, thinking that they were the Sixth Prince, but in fact they were on par with CCTV and directly under the State Administration of Optoelectronics!
The full name is Huaying Group Movie Channel!
It’s just that the satellite program is broadcast on CCTV and is just using the CCTV channel number.
The movie channel was broadcast in 1996. At that time, the production of domestic movies was too small, and foreign movies could not be introduced in large quantities due to the high copyright fees.
Also, movies before Xiangjiang’s return, including the previous Taiwan movies, are considered extra-films, and only co-productions are considered domestic.
It's too expensive to buy copyright!
But if you have a movie channel, it is impossible for the same movie to be played every day, right?
Moreover, a state-owned unit cannot display pirated content, so it adopts a method learned from abroad, and invests in and shoots videos by itself, and then mainly plays them on its own platform in order to supplement the film library of the movie channel.
So, in 1999, the first TV movie on the Movie Channel was aired.
Because of the low investment in TV movies and its own people-friendly content, it quickly became the main component of the movie channel program. The TV movie department under the movie channel is responsible for the approval, project establishment and investment of TV movies.
It's equivalent to the current homemade film!
TV movies are movies specially made for TV broadcasts. They use the language and narrative methods of the movie, but are not released in cinemas.
HBO has filmed a large number of TV movies. The famous "Detective Hunter" is actually a TV movie series. "Singing and Dance" seems to be the first two movies in the form of TV movies. It was very popular after it was broadcast. When Disney saw that it was a big deal, it filmed the third movie in the theater and made a lot of money.
Where does this production fund come from?
Haha, at its peak, the ratings of the movie channel far exceeded that of other TV stations, and it was the top five in the country!
The top four advertisements are basically over 4 billion, and the movie channels are not phenomenal, so the annual revenue can reach 1.5 billion!
However, all these incomes have to be paid to the public...
Then the upper hand fund will be allocated to maintain the daily operation of the movie channel.
The creation funding of the TV and Film Department is also provided by the state. The investment of a TV movie is about 1 million yuan, up to 5 million yuan, and the shooting cycle is usually one week...
Of course, you can also invest yourself, sell it to the movie channel, and control your budget, and there is little chance of losing money - the budget means that the budget cannot exceed one million!
Of course, if you buy copyrights on the movie channel, you will pay more than one million in copyright fees, but these are targeted at blockbusters screened in theaters.
He is planning to direct the "Arrogance World" around him!
Unfortunately, investors looked down on him, including the movie channel. They told him clearly that if they could find a director in Hong Kong, they would invest one million yuan, but if he became a director himself, the investment would only be reduced by half...
There is no way. In recent years, the film and television industry has been particularly popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan. I won’t mention superstars. Even third-rate stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan can be superior to others when they go to mainland crews!
Even more than ten years later, Tianting Banquet has neither appeal nor acting skills, but movies are all starring...
Do you think you are angry?
He wanted to invest in Yuehua Media. After all, Zhang Junsheng is famous for being stupid and has a lot of money. The people from Yuehua have made it clear that they have no interest in TV and movies!
I want to fight for it again!
He watched that episode of "The Birth of an Actor". With the director's unique vision, he realized that Zhang Junsheng liked Zhao Liying very much!
How to convince investors to invest?
Answer: The best way is to convince their pillow!
So, Zhao Liying came to the surrounding area...
...
"What's the use of telling me? I'm a newcomer..."
Although Baozi is not well-informed, she also knows that this matter has nothing to do with her, so it is better not to take on it.
"As long as you hand over the script to Zhang Junsheng and say you want to act, I believe he will definitely invest!"
"…I am a newcomer and I have no chance to meet Mr. Zhang!"
"thump!"
He knelt down around him...
"What are you doing? Get up!"
Zhao Liying quickly wanted to reach out to pull him, but unfortunately, her weight of 300 pounds was not something she could pull up like?
The magnitude is obviously different!
"Just help me, I really can't..."
"No, I really don't know Zhang Jun. I don't even have a phone call. How can I help you?"
Zhao Liying was also anxious. She didn't understand why this fat man got pestering her?
There were many people around me, watching the fun...
"Let's do this, Mr. Zhang will go to the company tomorrow. If you beg me, it's better to go find him directly."
Baozi really had no choice but to give him an idea...
...
Yuehua Media has six major departments, Zhao Liying is just a small role in the agency department. Apart from her agent, few people pay attention to her at all.
Although she knew that she was highly valued by Zhang Junsheng, the company was full of old tricks. They thought that Zhang Junsheng probably had eaten enough delicacies and wanted to change the taste, so he was interested in this Tunhua.
Can those who come out of the draft be as good as professionals?
Last year's exciting "Voice of China's Dream" was selected, with a top ten selected popularity and a lot of money, but it has never been recognized by professionals!
Not to mention the actors selected for the talent show!
Just a young actor who hasn't even gotten started with acting skills!
Therefore, few people know about Zhao Liying's experience in the People's Art Theater training class, except for her agent...
Cheng Lu and Wang Shumei brought it out, and the actors she signed with were Wang Bo, Wang Kai and Zhao Liying.
Baozi was the only female card in her hand. When she learned that she was harassed, Cheng Lu immediately reported to Wang Shumei, who told Zhang Junsheng who was editing later.
"TV movie?"
The Son of the Plane never thought about TV movies before.
That thing is too low...
However, the profitability of domestic films recently is too low.
The head of the film department has been thinking about ways to recoup profits.
It’s better to work with the movie channel!
For example, micro-film...
Immediately called Tang Ningyu: "Is it possible for us to cooperate with the movie channel to develop TV movies?"
“…This one should be OK!”
Tang Ningyu's eyes lit up.
Why didn't he expect it?
Cooperating with the movie channel has not only added a risk sharing party, but also an additional profit channel!
"Feast" audio-visual copyright sales of 12 million yuan, movie channel copyright transactions of 4 million yuan, and advertising revenue of nearly 20 million yuan...
These guarantee the return of "Feast".
Of course, it is impossible to make a lot of money for TV movies, but a TV movie can still ensure profitability. The most important thing is that it allows new directors to practice.
"You mention to them that in this year's micro-film competition, we can exclusively sell the top ten to the movie channel."
“…”
Tang Ningyu really wants to scold, a profiteer!
I actually want to sell micro movies to a TV station...
Chapter completed!
