Chapter 63 Sugar Man’s Dinner
When Li Mingyang finished speaking, Cai Yinong smiled and said: "Is the crew going well now?"
"It's going well. Since Li Chen has been obedient, the others They obeyed, and I finished filming their scenes in one day. Most of them left, and now there are only a few dog-skin plasters left. By the way, Mimi, do you know Hua Yi’s bun face? "< br>
"Bun face?"
"Round face, big eyes, rustic, from the set of Dream of Red Mansions."
"Oh, you are talking about Zhao Liying, she is quite miserable..."
"To sympathize with others is to be cruel to yourself. I feel that I am the worst."
Master Liu covered his mouth and snickered. , Yang Mi was speechless.
After chatting with Li Chen, Cai Yinong said with a smile: "How is your relationship with Zhang Chaoyang? Is he interested in Sword and Sword 3?"
"Maybe he is interested...but He is very stingy and doesn’t feel like he will pay much.”
In 2008, the online broadcast rights of TV series were priced at a bargain price, and popular TV series only cost hundreds or thousands of dollars per episode.
The online copyright price of each episode of the spy war "Insidious", which was first broadcast in 2009, is only more than 1,000 yuan.
It is normal for products such as espionage games not to be sold at high prices. The target group does not use the Internet very much and only watches TV.
What can sell online dramas at high prices are ancient costumes, especially ancient puppets...
At present, the biggest buyers of TV dramas are TV stations. Costume dramas costing tens of millions can only be sold by Only TV stations can make money.
And it must go to the stars.
Due to policy reasons, Fairy Sword 1 was restricted from game adaptations and could not be promoted to stars. As a result, Fairy Sword 1 did not make much money at all.
The reason why Sugar Man dared to film Fairy Sword 3 in 2008 was because Fairy Sword 1 finally aired on Hebei Satellite TV after three years.
Sugar Man takes the high-quality route and is not very productive, with an average of only one or two TV series a year.
So every drama must be developed in depth to make as much money as possible.
Now that the country is cracking down on video piracy, online broadcast rights are pure profit for producers, another way to make money.
"You have a good relationship with Youku and Sohu. If the copyright of Fairy Sword 3 is sold well, I can give you a commission." Cai Yinong said with a smile.
It’s so profitable that you can’t miss it. Internet cafes in Sword 1 and Sword 3 are making money!
Not inferior to The Legend of Zhen Huan!
“What is the standard for good sales?”
"At least 100,000 yuan per episode."
"This price is not easy to sell!"
"Ten percent commission."
Although the commission is high, this If a period TV series wants to sell 100,000 episodes, even Sword and Sword 3 is impossible.
However, Li Mingyang did not refuse. Sword and Sword 3 must be broadcast on the TV station first, and the broadcast effect is very explosive.
There is no need to worry about buyers for online broadcasting rights, but the price is very low.
Even if one piece sells more.
Ten thousand episodes is about the same, but twenty thousand episodes is very difficult.
Thirty thousand episodes...
Suddenly, Li Mingyang thought of LeTV.
Speaking of video websites, LeTV was established before Tudou.
However, compared with mainstream video websites, LeTV takes a different approach.
Buy film and television rights, act as a middleman, buy at a low price, sell at a high price, to whom?
Sold to mainstream video websites...
As viewers abandoned TV and switched to online videos, and the government began to severely punish piracy, LeTV became the largest online video copyright distributor in China.
The original copyright of Baicai Price has also been speculated to tens of millions by the market.
While other websites are still struggling to get listed and have good-looking financial statements.
LeTV announced profits in 2007, and then became the only video company listed on the A-share market with three consecutive years of profits.
When he thought of LeTV, the sixth person, Li Mingyang suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Sword and Sword 3 will premiere during the summer vacation next year, and the online broadcast will take at least one or two months. There are eight or nine months in between to operate, and it doesn’t seem to be particularly difficult...
"Okay, no problem, I'll take care of it." Li Mingyang stood up, picked up the wine glass, and toasted to Mr. Cai.
Cai Yinong was stunned. Li Mingyang agreed too quickly, and she still had a lot to say.
"Is it really okay? Don't fool me." Cai Yinong said uneasily.
“If I say yes, it will be done. Come on, come on, I will do it, you can do whatever you want.”
Li Mingyang raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass. Then with lightning speed, he poured himself another glass and offered a toast to Cai Yinong.
"Mr. Cai, I feel that Huayi will definitely liquidate me next year, and I will definitely not be able to stay in the film industry. I want to make a TV series, and I don’t know if we can cooperate."
"You do You are quite self-aware." Cai Yinong narrowed his eyes, took a deep look at Li Mingyang, and then did it very proudly.
Li Mingyang offended Huayi and jumped up and down in the Internet and entertainment circles, making movies and online dramas...
A hammer in the east, a hammer in the west.
Many people in the industry regard him as a clown.
However, Cai Yinong, who has been in Hong Kong circles and has made a name for himself in the Mainland, does not see it that way.
If the web drama is too good and too successful, he will be defined by the market as a web drama director. He will have no big opportunities and can only hang out in the web drama circle.
As for the online drama industry...it's really a mixed bag, with everyone in it, but it doesn't make any money.
Li Mingyang realized this, so he used web dramas to win over Internet giants to protect him, and then established himself in the film industry with movies.
As for the film industry, it was the territory of the Beijing industry, and Lao Mouzi was so suppressed by the Beijing industry that he did not dare to speak loudly.
Even if Li Mingyang uses his movies to prove his ability with a small amount of success, it will be difficult for him to become the next Ning Hao.
If the film industry cannot survive, the television industry is naturally the best choice.
Is this maturity and sophistication really a student?
"Cooperation is not impossible, provided that the box office of Bouquet exceeds 10 million. In addition, I only approve the drama version of Bouquet. It is impossible for a marginal drama like Man in Hanging Silk to pass censorship, let alone get a star. ”
"I understand, I understand that only by starring in TV series can I make a lot of money."
With Cai Yinong's promise, Li Mingyang finally found a way out for himself.
And Yang Mi was very unhappy.
Li Mingyang was thinking about himself and trying to please Cai Yinong.
He...couldn't he want to sell me?
Yang Mi looked at Li Mingyang suspiciously, and the meal was tasteless.
......
Yang Mi planned to have a good talk with Li Mingyang after the dinner party.
However, Yuan Hong suggested watching If You Are the One.
"No more..." Master Liu glanced at Li Mingyang and refused.
Li Mingyang didn't care, "It doesn't matter, Feng Pants' If You Are the One is pretty good."
"It's still early, it might as well take a look." Cai Yinong took out his phone, "Which of you wants to go? Let’s see.”
“I’ll go,” Li Mingyang said.
"I'll go too." Master Liu raised his hands and said with a smile.
Yuan Hong, who had a crush on Liu Shishi, lowered his head and glanced at Li Mingyang, and then at Liu Shishi.
I felt very uncomfortable.
I said go, but you didn’t go.
He said go, you can’t wait to go right away.
How long have you known each other? I am the one who has been taking care of you...
Cai Yinong saw that everyone wanted to go see him. After making a few calls, he looked at Li Mingyang and said : "This movie is quite popular, but it's not easy to book a movie now. Huayi has booked a movie at Poly nearby, can we go together?"
