This celebrity is too rich

Chapter 309 "Hello, Li Huanying"

Li Chuan: [We are an e-commerce and Internet celebrity company, not a film and television company. What do we set up a TV series and film department for? 】

Yang Mi: [It's not a film and television company, but it can also do film and television business. 】

Li Chuan: [It can be done, but we have no experience. 】

Yang Mi: 【Film and TV is not as difficult as you think, as long as you have money. 】

Li Chuan: [. . . 】

Yang Mi: [What I said is true. As long as you have money, you can find crews, actors, and directors from outside. You just need to be a producer or producer with peace of mind. 】

Li Chuan couldn't help curling his lips.

He felt that Yang Mi had said something nonsense.

Of course he knows that the crew, actors, and directors can all be found from outside, but is knowing these useful?

Knowing this, can a popular TV series or movie be made?

Certainly not possible.

If it was so easy to make film and television, then everyone would do it, and it would be his turn.

Also, what Yang Mi said before, "Film and TV is not that difficult, as long as you have money" is also nonsense.

Now it is a commercial society, what industry is not enough to have money?
Even those high-tech industries that are oriented towards scientific research are made with money.

In modern society, no matter what industry, as long as you have money, you can do it. If you can't do it, it means you don't have enough money.

Therefore, what Yang Mi said was nonsense, without any meaning.

Li Chuan had considered "investing in TV dramas and movies" before, but the result of his consideration was not very reliable.

There are three main reasons:
1. The risk is too great.

As we all know, movies and TV series have never been a good investment product.

Take movies as an example. There are about 2018 domestic movies released in 5, but only a dozen or so of them can make a profit, accounting for 90%; In other words, [-]% of domestic films are loss-making.

This ratio is actually a bit exaggerated.

From the data alone, it is really unwise to invest in movies. If you have this money, you might as well spend it on stocks.

2. The return cycle of film and television works is too long.

It takes at least a few years for a movie or TV series to go from script to project approval, from shooting to release.

And after the release, you can't get the money quickly. If you want to get the first payment, it will take a few months or a few years.

All this added up, the time cost is too high.

3. In the next few years, the development prospects of the film and television industry are not very good.

Not surprisingly, the epidemic will break out by the end of this year.

After the outbreak of the epidemic, the film and television industry was one of the first and most severely hit industries.

Winter is approaching, and most people can't run even if they want to. If you go in at this time, it's just courting death.

In view of the above three points, Li Chuan feels that "investing in film and television" is not very reliable.

Of course, he only analyzed it from a purely commercial point of view, and did not involve his own actual situation.

If it involves its own actual situation, the film and television industry can still invest.

why?
Because he is born again!
Although the investment risks of the film and television industry are high, the return cycle is long, and the development prospects in the next few years are not very good, but because it is reborn and has the advantage of foresight, it can completely break the existing market rules and find business opportunities from it. .

What is the business opportunity?
Of course, those popular TV series or movies in later generations.

In the next few years, the film and television industry will enter a cold winter, and there will be fewer popular TV series or movies, but there are still some exceptions.

For example, "The Hidden Corner", "Thirty Only", "Mountain and Sea Love", "The Beginning" and other TV dramas or online dramas; as well as "Changjin Lake", "Hello, Li Huanying", "Chinatown Detective 3" and other movies .

These popular film and television projects must be profitable, and the amount of profit is not small.

If so, Li Chuan is still willing to invest.

Not for anything else, just to make money.

He feels that he does not have the ability to engage in film and television work for a long time, so there is a high probability that he will not set up a dedicated film and television department within the company, or set up a separate film and television company to lead the development and production of a certain film and television project.

But he can invest.

Investing is not the same as leading.

Investment is to follow others to make money, the project is led by others, he only needs to invest money, and does not need to do anything else; leading is to lead others to make money, choose directors, recruit actors, make budgets and filming plans, etc. They all have to do it, they all have to worry about it.

Li Chuan can't worry about this, and he doesn't want to worry about it, so he just wants to invest, not to dominate.

As for the investment in film and television, he has briefly analyzed it before, but he has not thought about it carefully, because his main energy is on the company and live streaming, and he has no time to think about these irrelevant things.

However, Yang Mi's words reminded him.

Now that he thought about it, he had some ideas in his mind.

Among the TV series, online dramas, and movies of later generations, he is most interested in "Hello, Li Huanying".

It's not because he likes this movie. In fact, he hasn't watched the movie. He just saw some videos on Douyin, so he can't say whether he likes it or not.

The reason why he is interested is because in his opinion, "Hello, Li Huanying" is the film and television project with the highest return on investment in the next few years.

Why do you say that?

Because "Hello, Li Huanying" really created a miracle at the box office with its small size.

In contrast, although TV dramas or online dramas such as "The Hidden Corner", "Thirty Only", "Mountain and Sea Love", and "The Beginning" are popular, they are limited by the platform, and their return on investment is not high.

TV dramas or online dramas can only make money by means of platform buyouts, advertising fees, copyrights, etc. The market size is limited, and it is difficult to earn too much money.

Movies are different. Movies can make money at the box office.

The market potential of the box office is much greater than that of TV stations and online video platforms.

For a movie to be screened in theaters, although the risk is relatively high, the online release is extremely high. Once it becomes popular, it can earn a lot of money.

However, movies such as "Changjin Lake" and "Detective Chinatown 3" are all large investment projects. Although their box office is very high, the final rate of return is not particularly ideal due to the large amount of investment. .

"Hello, Li Huanying" is different. This is a small-investment film. The production cost does not exceed [-] million yuan. With the announcement and distribution, it may be doubled, but it will not be too much. It is estimated that the total investment will not exceed [-] million yuan. Three hundred million.

A movie with a cost of no more than 50 million yuan ended up with a box office of more than [-] billion yuan. What is the return on investment?

Li Chuan doesn't know the movie's profit mechanism and specific contract details, so he can't calculate the exact value, but from his personal feeling, if the "Hello, Li Huanying" project is well-operated, the return on investment will definitely not be high. Low, overall, is well worth the investment.

"Hello, Li Huanying" seems to be released in 2021, and now it's 2019. The filming of this movie should not have started yet. '

'It's easy to invest if you haven't started shooting, but if you start shooting, you may not be able to invest in it. '

Li Chuan secretly thought, and immediately typed and asked Yang Mi: 【Do you know Jia Ling? 】

Yang Mi: [Jia Ling?I know, what's the matter? 】

Li Chuan: [Is she making a movie now? 】

Yang Mi: [It seems to be. 】

Li Chuan: [Like? 】

Yang Mi: [I'm not very familiar with her, I don't know what she's busy with, it seems like I've heard it from someone else. 】

Li Chuan: [Oh, do you have her WeChat? 】

Yang Mi: [Yes, what do you want to do? 】

Li Chuan: [Push her WeChat, I'll add it. 】

Yang Mi: [What do you want to do? 】

Li Chuan: 【Vote for her movie. 】

Yang Mi: [Huh? 】

Li Chuan: [Haven't decided whether to vote or not, ask about the situation first. 】

Yang Mi: [Why did you suddenly think of casting her movie? 】

Li Chuan: [I was reminded by you. If you don’t tell me, I still can’t remember it. 】

Yang Mi:【? ? ?What did I say? 】

Li Chuan: [You asked me to invest in TV dramas and movies. 】

Yang Mi: [I want you to set up a film and television department, invest and produce by yourself, not to let you invest in other people's movies. 】

Li Chuan: [There is no need to establish a film and television department, our company does not have this business. 】

Yang Mi: [It can be expanded... If you expand it, it will be there. 】

Li Chuan: [Why should I expand it?Our company is engaged in e-commerce and live broadcasting, and the film and television industry has nothing to do with our main business, and it is useless to do it. 】

Yang Mi:【? ? ?It can help you make money! 】

Li Chuan: [I can also make money by doing e-commerce and live broadcasting, and I can earn no less than film and television... Sanmu Network is still in the development stage, so we can’t take too big a step. What we have to do now is to focus on one Two points to break through, build the relevant industrial chain and moat... When Sanmu Network becomes the absolute leader in the live e-commerce industry, we will consider expanding other businesses. 】

Yang Mi: [You can't say that, many bosses will invest in film and television after they earn money. 】

Li Chuan: 【They are them, I am me, they think differently. 】

Yang Mi: [Are you not interested in film and television? 】

Li Chuan: 【Not very interested. 】

Yang Mi: [Then why did you make "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary"? 】

Li Chuan: [Didn't I say it before, in order to increase fans of Wu Jinyan. 】

Yang Mi: [Just because of this? 】

Li Chuan: [Yes. 】

Yang Mi: 【Then why do you still want to be an actor?Play that Wan Sen, the chairman. 】

Li Chuan: [They forced me. 】

Yang Mi: [Forcing you? 】

Li Chuan: [They wanted me to act, but I couldn't help it. I rushed the ducks to the shelves, so I went. 】

Yang Mi:【. . . 】

Li Chuan: 【Actually, "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary" has little to do with me. I'm only responsible for giving money and acting. The rest are done by the people below. 】

Yang Mi: [Well, I thought you liked film and television and wanted to be an actor. 】

Li Chuan: 【What kind of actor am I? My acting skills are in a mess. If I become an actor, I'm afraid I'll starve to death. 】

Yang Mi: [No, I think you are doing very well. 】

Li Chuan: [That was just the beginning, look back and you will know. 】

Yang Mi: [Did you perform poorly in the future? 】

Li Chuan: [It can't be said that it's bad, it's not very good anyway. 】

Yang Mi: [Okay, I understand. 】

Li Chuan: [Push Jia Ling's WeChat over here. 】

Yang Mi: [Why did you vote for her movie? 】

Li Chuan: 【Make money. 】

Yang Mi: [How do you know that her movies can make money? 】

Li Chuan's face froze, and he suddenly realized that he had slipped his tongue. He rolled his eyes slightly, and then replied: 【I don't know, I guessed it. 】

Yang Mi: [Guess? 】

Li Chuan: [Yes. 】

Yang Mi: [How do I feel, you seem to have made up your mind. 】

Li Chuan: 【What are you thinking? Her movie hasn't been made yet. How can I be sure? 】

Yang Mi: [Oh, yes. 】

Li Chuan: [Okay, stop talking nonsense, and quickly push her over on WeChat. 】

Yang Mi: [Wait a minute! 】

Li Chuan: [Waiting for what? 】

Yang Mi: [I pushed her WeChat to you, so you go chat with her and ignore me. 】

Li Chuan: [? ? ? 】

Yang Mi: [I know you very well now, you are this kind of person! 】

Li Chuan: [Fart! 】

Yang Mi: [Dare you say no? 】

Li Chuan was silent.

Yang Mi: [Look, let's acquiesce. 】

Li Chuan: [We can chat anytime, please give me WeChat first. 】

Yang Mi: [No!I'm bored right now, you can't run! 】

Li Chuan: [What's the matter with you?Menopause committed? 】

Yang Mi: [You are just in menopause! 】

Li Chuan: [I'm too lazy to argue with you, so hurry up and give me WeChat! 】

Yang Mi: [No!Unless you make me happy. 】

Li Chuan: [What do you want to do? ! 】

Yang Mi: [You play two games with me first. 】

Li Chuan: [What? 】

Yang Mi: 【If you play two games with me, I will give you WeChat. 】

Li Chuan: [Why are you still coercing me? 】

Yang Mi: [For you, this method must be used! 】

Li Chuan: [Hehe, do you think I can't find Jia Ling's WeChat without you? 】

Yang Mi was silent for a while.

Li Chuan didn't bother to respond, and immediately quit the chat interface, and began to look for people in the address book who might have a relationship with Jia Ling.

However, before he could find it, Yang Mi's WeChat sent it again.

Yang Mi: [You promised me before. 】

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and typed: [What did I promise you?Promise to play games with you? 】

Yang Mi: [Yes, that night, when we were in Changsha, we agreed that we would play games together in the future. 】

Li Chuan: [Is there such a thing? 】

Yang Mi: [Scumbag! 】

Li Chuan frowned and thought about it carefully, it seems that this really happened.

Yang Mi: [Hmph, you can't keep your word!I misread you, you big scumbag! 】

Li Chuan's face was a little ugly, and he typed: [What are you talking about, don't you just play a game, it's a big deal, what are you doing? 】

Yang Mi: [No way, you should come. 】

Li Chuan: 【Come on, come on, what do you say? 】

Yang Mi: [The King. 】

Li Chuan: [Glory of the King? 】

Yang Mi: [Nonsense! 】

Li Chuan: [Wait a minute, I'll play the next game first. 】

Yang Mi: [You haven't played the game yet? 】

Li Chuan: [Yes. 】

Yang Mi: [Didn't you say before that you play King? 】

Li Chuan: [I played it before, but I haven't played it for a long time. Now I have changed my phone and haven't downloaded it. 】

Yang Mi: [How long has it been since you played? 】

Li Chuan: 【Almost a year. 】

Yang Mi: 【Then will you still play? 】

Li Chuan: [You can get started, but your skills are not very good. Aren't you a master, just play with me. 】

Yang Mi: [I won't take you with me, you are designated as a scammer! 】

Li Chuan: [. . . 】

Yang Mi: [You haven't played for a year, how do you play? 】

Li Chuan: [Then you mean... stop playing? 】

Yang Mi: 【Play! 】

Li Chuan: [Then what are you talking about! 】

Yang Mi: [I just want you to know that you are a scumbag, and I am a great god who can lead a scumbag! 】

Li Chuan: [. . . 】
