This director is very reliable

Chapter 771 Asking for advice (14)

In fact, there are currently "three increases" in the TV drama market, namely: rising actors' remuneration, rising TV drama costs, and rising revenue.

It can be regarded as a causal relationship, because the increase in actors' remuneration leads to the increase in the cost of TV dramas...

As for the increase in benefits, it is actually aimed at top works!

What is a head work?

The work is an IP adaptation, and the actors are traffic...

However, the cost of production is indeed rising: Back then, Changlin Film and Television spent a huge amount of money to create "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" - a cost of 1.2 million.

The cost of "A Thousand Bone of Flowers" last year was also 1.6 million...

It looks very high, but it is not worth mentioning this year!
Even including the 2.6 million cost of "Goblin", it can only be regarded as moderate...

"Military Division Alliance", the cost of the upper and lower parts is 4 million.

But this is the content of the upper and lower parts plus one 90 episodes!

"Chu Qiao Biography" 3.2 million cost, 60 episodes...

"Story of Yanxi Palace" cost 2.9 million yuan, 70 episodes...

Can the TV station bear such a high cost?

Really can't eat it!
The highest price of the five David TVs is only 200 million...

For example, Sun Li's "That Year's Flowers Are Beautiful and the Moon is Perfect", was broadcast on both channels, with a single channel of 155.4 million per episode, which means that the purchase price of the two satellite TVs reached 2.3 million.

But the cost of this play is said to be 4 million.

Tencent Video bought 245 million episodes, earned 1.8 million from online copyrights, and made a direct profit of 1000 million?
This is only the first round of profits, and there will be a second round...

And... video sites outperform TV stations in terms of solvency, especially in pre-order or custom models.

Many TV stations will default on their salaries.

First of all, the pre-broadcast deposit ratio of video websites is generally higher than that of TV stations.Taking "Chu Qiao Biography" as an example, Fujixun bought a single episode at a price of 550 million yuan, with an estimated total purchase amount of 3.3 million yuan and a pre-broadcast deposit of 2 million yuan.

Secondly, for big IP dramas with high cost and large production, video websites gradually adopt the pre-order mode, and high-quality self-produced dramas often adopt the customized mode, paying a 30%~40% deposit before shooting starts.

Let's put it this way, the high-quality series of Tianxia Entertainment, the product has just been approved, and the video website will pay 1-9% of the advance payment one year to nine months before the shooting starts.

Of course, the standard for video sites to evaluate high-quality projects is IP+traffic.

"A Lonely Beauty Never Admires Itsself" and "Old Nine Gates" are definitely high-quality IPs!

Don't underestimate "The Lonely Beauty", the novel "The Lonely Beauty Does Not Admire Itself" is known as "China's No. [-] Emperor's Novel", with a strong fan base, it is an out-and-out big IP!

"Old Nine Gates" is the prequel of "Tomb Raiders Notes"...

But Shen Changlin dispelled Zhao Shan's thoughts with one sentence: ""Lonely Fang" will be released in February next year, that is to say, there is only less than half a year of preparation period, can it be filmed well?"

Yuan Shikong, in the drama "Lonely Fang", the male and female leading actors received a total salary of 1.2 million yuan. The high salary of the actors makes every minute and every second of each leading actor in the play extremely expensive. Every time the filming exceeds one day, the crew has to pay This additional overpayment of up to one million film remuneration.

Also, even if the crew is willing to overpay the actors, sorry, the actors are not available.

Due to various considerations such as the budget and difficulty in adjusting actors' schedules, the producer could only put pressure on the director to complete the project no matter what.

On this basis, time-saving and cost-saving methods such as three or five doubles, inversions, and cutouts in "The Lonely Fang" were adopted in large numbers.

With this kind of production concept, even if Nazha puts all his energy into it, "A Lonely Beauty Doesn't Admire Itself" will not be a good work, not to mention that Zhong Hanliang also filmed "Along the Way" when he took over the filming of "A Lonely Beauty" , "Liang Sheng, can we not be sad", and also held two concerts by the way!

"The more chaos arises, the more we must stick to our original aspirations. It is all based on comparison. This is a good opportunity for Nazha and the others to increase their reputation."

"What about "Old Nine Gates"?"

"...We have "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", so don't have anything to do with "Tomb Raiders Notes"!" After a pause, Shen Changlin continued: "Pay attention to the direction outside, the Internet is criticizing Xiaoxianrou and traffic, don't let They affect the actors in the company!"

"Well, I know, they will definitely not be allowed to go to the Hundred Flowers Awards this time!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Shan glared and said, "Do you know how much they will charge you?"

"... how much can there be?"

Nazha doesn’t care too much. Her salary has always been very high. The film salary is between 500 million and 800 million, and the TV drama salary is basically around 3000 million. “Little Beauty” let her co-produce——the film salary is converted into the investment.

However, she hasn't taken a drama for almost two years, so she doesn't know about the skyrocketing salary!
Besides, it's already 30 million, how can it go up?
So, when I heard the price tag of 8500 million, I was shocked...

"Are you kidding? I'm worth 8500 million?"

"The current TV drama market is superstitious about traffic. The usual way is to buy an IP and hire one or two traffic stars to play the role, but there are very few traffic stars who can buy video platforms, so everyone's salary has gone up!"

"Then... the actors are all paid, what about the quality of the series?"

Zhao Shan shook her head: "The current situation is that the industry is superstitious about traffic. They think that they are famous and have a certain number of fans. As long as they are filmed, people will buy it. It is much easier to realize the value. They will not put their heart into high-quality dramas. Invite actors. , the play is sold, who cares about the quality?"

Nazha hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "If things go on like this, will the audience still watch domestic dramas?"

Zhao Shan was happy: "Don't worry, this summer, many big IPs have failed. The ratings of "Albatron" and "Fantasy City" are sluggish, and many adaptations are "quietly", and the over-developed IPs are already going to failure.

The acting skills of fresh meat and flowers have been bombarded repeatedly, and the scene of a crowd of demons dancing wildly has made film and television dramas bottom out. The audience's aesthetics and rationality are returning, forcing the refinement of content and production... Moreover, our company has always insisted on professionalism and high-quality products. Under the general environment, the price of our episodes has increased by half! "

……

Venice, hotel, Shi Shi saw Shen Changlin hang up the phone and asked, "Naza?"

"right…"

"What's up with her?"

"Zhao Shan wants her to take on two foreign plays, but she doesn't like it, so ask me to persuade Zhao Shan!"

Shi Shi frowned: "...I don't think Zhao Shan will hurt Nazha, she is not the kind of unscrupulous manager, so mind your own business!"

"I didn't mind my own business, I just told her about the phenomenon..."

"Okay, you're always right."

Shi Shi shut up and continued to play the tablet. She has recently become obsessed with "Honkai Academy 2", and she goes online on time every day to play a copy...

Shen Changlin sometimes really doesn't understand why this kind of game has a fixed time and fixed number of copies.

Is the player all right?Must attend the event?

Well, he doesn't understand the game!

Playing dungeons, what is the pursuit of fighting the world boss?strength.

How to increase strength quickly?Krypton gold!

With these, there will be a leaderboard, and having a leaderboard will definitely arouse vanity, and then because of that vanity, the degree of krypton will rise, and then you will pull people down by force, and the person will come up again if he is not convinced , and then repeat the cycle.

The money will come!

So it's like going to work in the company during the day, and working overtime in the game at night. If things go on like this, who can bear it?
Shen Changlin looked at her, and then asked, "You don't watch TV?"

"I can't read it, there are no Chinese subtitles!"

"You can watch it on a tablet!"

"I read it on the tablet, so what about my game?"

"... "
