Chapter 20 Insecure Yang Mi
Finished the episode.
"This is just a sidekick...can it pass the trial?" Yang Mi frowned.
"Online dramas only need to be self-reviewed by the website. Youku has already set a time for it to be launched next Monday."
"So fast..."
"A web drama worth five hundred thousand yuan." Li Mingyang said with a smile: "Of course, the sooner it goes online, the better."
"Ten episodes worth five hundred thousand yuan?" Yang Mi asked suspiciously.
“Yeah.”
Yang Mi took a breath. Although each episode of The Man in Hanging Silk is very short, only ten minutes, the script is very interesting and the actors are not bad either. The film The quality is not inferior to the TV series, or even better.
Fifty thousand per episode?
Too cheap!
“Do you think it’s cheap?”
Yang Mi nodded heavily, and Master Liu was stunned. Seeing Yang Mi nodding, he also nodded.
Li Mingyang coughed slightly, "In the domestic TV drama market, TV stations are the largest buyers, and they are also the most effective way for advertisers to promote themselves. TV stations earn a lot of money from advertising fees, so they are naturally willing to spend a lot of money to buy dramas. Therefore, film and television companies invest very heavily in TV series, and it is not uncommon to invest tens of millions in TV series. "
"Video websites are currently in their infancy, because early traffic relies on piracy, and advertisers invest in video websites. We are very cautious, so video websites are generally in a state of loss. Five hundred thousand is already a big investment for online dramas.”
Yang Mi frowned slightly and secretly became vigilant. Li Mingyang showed off his knowledge in this way last time, and then started to cheat money.
"If you don't make money, why do you still film... You are so handsome, why don't you become an actor?" Liu Shishi stared at Li Mingyang, and the more he looked at him, the more handsome he became.
Li Mingyang did not dare to look at Liu Shishi anymore, lowered his head and fiddled with the teacup, and said: "If you don't make money now, it doesn't mean you won't make money in the future. As the number of Internet users increases, watching dramas online will become a trend, and as piracy is cleared up , the video website will attract more and more advertisers to invest, and the revenue of online dramas will also increase. "
"Oh, you are ready to devote yourself to online dramas!" Yang Mi said.
“Of course, domestic video websites are just getting started, and foreign video websites have already taken off. Now among these domestic video websites, everyone wants to be like Netflix. In the past, the copyrights for popular dramas were only a few Thousands of dollars have been sold to hundreds of thousands in just two years. Capital is the most astute. If there is no money to be made, who would invest money foolishly?”
Master Liu couldn't understand and looked at Yang Mi.
"What do you want to do? Become a Netflix? Start a video website?"
"Ahem... I make money, not burn it. Besides, it's too late now . My idea is to make money by filming dramas for the video website. "Oh." Yang Mi stared at Li Mingyang with a half-smile, "Go on." The company uses low costs to create high profits. Sister Yang Mi, please don’t look at me with such hostile eyes. I am really not a liar. I am a talented director who knows how to save money! , guess what, the cost of hanging silk men is 500,000, how much did I earn in the end?”
"One hundred and fifty thousand?"
Li Mingyang shook his head.
“It can’t be 200,000, right?”
“Of course not, I earned 300,000!”
The cost is 500,000, the profit is 300,000 ! Sixty percent profit!
"Really?!" Yang Mi said with wide eyes and a look of shock.
"Of course it's true. Are you in contact with Xiao Fei? I see that she often chats with you. In addition to being a director, I am also very good at saving money." Li Mingyang turned his head and said sincerely Looking at Master Liu, "You don't want to work for the rest of your life, right?"
...
Behind the well-known domestic film and television companies, there is a big director shareholder.
Huayi’s Feng pants.
Li Guoli of Sugar Man.
Li Shaohong of Rong Xinda.
Zheng Xiaolong of Huaer Film and Television.
Jiang Wei from Qingyu Media.
As well as Noon Sunshine in the future, the major shareholder is Kong Sheng, the director of Guandong.
Huanxi Media’s major shareholders are Ning Hao and Xu Zheng.
The director-centered system in the domestic film and television industry has produced many great directors with capital.
Especially after Internet capital entered the entertainment industry, the status of great directors has become even higher.
Liu Shishi's understanding of the entertainment industry is very shallow. She was confused by what Li Mingyang said, but under the influence of her peach blossom eyes, she was willing to believe Li Mingyang and wanted to start a company with Li Mingyang in partnership. Yang Mi rolled her eyes and almost rolled her eyes to the sky.
85hua refers to a group of popular florets born around 1985, who mainly focus on TV series.
In a narrow sense, it only includes Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, and Zhao Liying. However, as the concept of 85 flowers becomes more and more accepted, people such as baby, Tianxian, Song Qian and others are gradually included in the 85 flowers. These female stars are all popular little flowers, their careers are developing well, they have achieved certain achievements in the entertainment industry, and they have become very powerful beings among the same group of actresses, so they are collectively called 85 flowers.
Among the 85 flowers, Yang Mi is the most successful and also the smartest.
She thinks more and worries more.
Li Mingyang had no hope of convincing her.
But... Liu Shishi's salary was actually kept by her mother.
She doesn't have much money at her disposal...just 10,000 yuan of pocket money every month.
Liu Shishi had no money, but wanted to support Li Mingyang, so he asked Yang Mi to borrow money.
“I can only lend you one hundred thousand.” Yang Mi said.
“Can one hundred thousand be okay?” Liu Shishi asked Li Mingyang.
"Count on your 10% share."
Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "One hundred thousand means 10%! I will pay three hundred thousand! 30% of the shares."
Li Mingyang refused in his heart because he never thought that Yang Mi would become a shareholder.
He has already decided on the heroine of "Love Like a Bouquet".
Li Mingyang is very worried that Yang Mi will fall out at that time.
After all, the heroine is the person she hates the most.
But in action, he still accepted Yang Mi’s money.
It’s not easy to make money these days!
The capital and share ratios were agreed upon, and the three began to discuss the company address, company name, and future plans for the company.
Liu Shishi was in a daze the whole time, staring at Li Mingyang and couldn't get enough of it.
Only Li Mingyang and Yang Mi were in charge of the discussion.
No matter how successful and smart Yang Mi is in the future, she is only 22 years old now. Her thoughts were still stuck on Rong Xinda and Tangren’s formula of ‘self-made content + artist management’.
This approach is too outdated even now.
I want to get both the production bonus and the manager’s bonus. I want to eat both, but I can’t get enough from both.
The production company and the actors themselves are antagonistic...
Li Mingyang talks about web dramas, but in fact he only cares about movies.
If the bouquet-like love succeeds, he will go to the film industry.
Whoever likes to film web dramas will film them, but they won’t make any big waves anyway.
The influence of movies is the pinnacle!
So he agreed to Yang Mi’s suggestion after trying to evade it without success.
After discussing for more than an hour, based on the principle of saving money, the company's location was decided to be in Hengdian, and Yang Mi would choose the office location herself tomorrow.
The company name is Mingyang Entertainment.
Judging from the name, this company has nothing to do with Liu Shishi and Yang Mi.
Yang Mi only wants to make money and does not want to have a deep relationship with Li Mingyang. After all, Li Mingyang has offended Huayi.
Li Mingyang is the major shareholder, accounting for 60% of the shares, Yang Mi invested 300,000, accounting for 30% of the shares, and Liu Shishi invested 100,000, accounting for 10% of the shares.
The details of the cooperation were roughly finalized.
Yang Mi couldn't wait to sign the contract, urging Li Mingyang to pay the bill, and then went to his residence to draft the contract, sign the contract, and finalize the matter as soon as possible.
At this time, Yang Mi no longer felt unsafe...
