Who are you calling powerful?.

Chapter 174 In-depth cooperation with Tang Ren, "Scary Step by Step" and web dramas
Baoshan, Blue Whale Film and Television Company
This is Cai Yinong's first time here, he looked at it curiously, and sighed a few words.

"Yes, it's bigger than I expected, but the location is a bit off."

"It's a small business, and I will move when I have money later."

Wei Yang poured a cup of tea for Cai Yinong and Li Guoqing: "Try it, a good friend gave it to me, it's eight or nine thousand and one taels."

“Good tea!”

The two tasted it, and they didn't understand it, but at this price, it must be good tea.

"Are you still operating on a small budget? "Hello, Old Times" let alone tens of millions, our company probably doesn't have as much cash as you now, right?"

As a company owner, "You Who Came From The Star" is awesome, but a project like "Hello, Old Time" with a small cost and high income is the most enviable existence.

She had tasted the sweetness of the "Twinkle, Twinkle Star" project before, and she knew how cool this kind of project was.

"Be humble, if I blow too much, you should say I'm floating."

Wei Yang made a joke, and made fun of Cai Yinong, correcting his expression.

"Speaking of business, I would like to invite the two of you to come over today. One is to settle the settlement of "This is the First Time in My Life", and the other wants to talk about the follow-up cooperation."

Speaking of this, Wei Yang looked at Cai Yinong: "Sister Cai, you have talked so many times before, you know what I am, and we have worked together, so I won't be too long-winded, it's the same sentence, let's cooperate Both benefit."

Cai Yinong and Li Guoqing looked at each other, and the latter took the initiative to say, "Wei...Mr. Wei, we are here today, and we also want to talk to you about the specific regulations."

"The charter is very simple. Sister Cai has concerns about swapping shares, and it may not be convenient for me, so let's go according to the project, just like "This is the first time in this life", both parties jointly invest, and everyone shares the money .”

Wei Yang is persuasive and crazily draws cakes: "Now the film and television company here in Shanghai, the Tang people are the most famous, and our Blue Whale has the strongest rising momentum. If the two of us join forces, we will have the loudest voice in the ten-mile foreign market in the entertainment industry. "

"Want to be the boss of Shanghai? Where do you put Cheng Tian, ​​Ci Wen, Ke Dun, Shang Shi, and Tian Yu? Let alone Shang Ying."

Cai Yinong was not deceived by the big cake. The above companies, regardless of the special situation of Shanghai Film, which is a giant, and Tianyu, which is backed by Hunan Provincial TV Station.

The strength of those other companies is not weak, even stronger than Tang Ren and Blue Whale.

It's just that he puts more emphasis on film and television production, and the development of artist management is limited, and there are few hits, so his reputation is not obvious.

Especially Orange Sky, which was a big company that was head-to-head with Huayi back then. Although its own development focus was mostly on the capital and Xiangjiang, its headquarters was still in Shanghai, so it could be regarded as a company in Shanghai.

With so many powerful enemies in the way, it is not easy for the Tang people and the blue whale to come from behind.

"Orange Sky is already going downhill. Wang Jinhua is carrying a bucket and running around. Who still compares it to Huayi?"

Wei Yang's words were not outrageous, he knew what would happen to Cheng Tian, ​​and he really didn't take this company seriously. Right now, Cheng Tian is just struggling to support himself.

When "Taiping Wheel", which has high hopes, turns over, it will basically be completely cold.

In my impression, Wei Yang seemed to have seen a report more than ten years later in his last life, that Orange Sky had a total market value of 2.5-3 million at that time, and it was still in Hong Kong dollars...

On the contrary, Ci Wen, Shang Shi, and Ke Dun, who have not yet fully developed, have developed well in the future, even surpassing Tang Ren by far.

However, each of these companies has its own capital behind it, and it has not yet reached the outbreak period.Although Wei Yang can also cooperate with him, the benefits are not as good as the current Tang Renda.

"Sister Cai, don't underestimate yourself. Although these companies are powerful, our two companies are not weak. If we join forces, we will not be the boss, and others will not dare to underestimate us."

Although Cai Yinong felt that Wei Yang was exaggerating, he was also a little tempted, and finally let go.

"Our company will focus on promoting two projects in the future, "Scary Step by Step" and "Xuanyuan Sword". We can come up with a cooperation, you choose..."

Wei Yang said without hesitation, "Scary Step By Step."

Cai Yinong was not surprised either. After all, the two parties had contacted several times before, so it was not difficult to guess what Wei Yang was thinking.

As a court drama in ancient costume, the investment of "Scary Step by Step" is not high, and the budget given by the Tang people is no more than 3000 million.

Boss Wei was very straightforward: "No problem, just follow this price, I will eat as much as you give up."

Cai Yinong and Li Guoqing looked at each other and gave the answer. Since Tang Ren was in charge of the production, Blue Whale paid 1500 million, taking 45% of the share.

Wei Yang had no objection to this price, and nodded after a little hesitation, but he also made a few requests.

First, the heroine must be Liu Shishi!
This is actually nonsense, the people of Tang Dynasty must praise their first sister, Wei Yang emphasized again, it is also giving his daughter-in-law a sense of presence.

Second, Blue Whale has a few supporting roles, such as the newcomer Lin Gengxin of Blue Whale, who can be discussed, but the role must not be missed.

As an important funder, this request is not too much, and Cai Yinong readily complied.

Third, the hero Wei Yang recommended Qiao Zhenyu to play.

This request made Cai Yinong and the others frowned, and Lao Cai asked in a low voice.

"You signed him?"

"No."

Wei Yang shook his head, but said: "However, the contact is almost done. It is a bit troublesome for him to terminate the contract. If it goes well, there should be no problem next year."

Wei Yang had a good impression of Qiao Zhenyu in "You Who Came from the Star" before.

Quiet personality, no fuss, good business level, both ancient and modern clothing, relatively Buddhist, sometimes willing to be a green leaf.

Lin Gengxin is too young and not suitable for ancient costumes, so Wei Yang has been in contact with Qiao Zhenyu, wanting to win him to supplement Blue Whale's artist territory.

"You Who Came from the Stars" had a good personal relationship between the two, and the latter became popular once, and to some extent, he owed Wei Yang love.

So in the face of Wei Yang's poaching, Qiao Zhenyu finally chose to switch to Blue Whale after comprehensively considering his future, personal relationship, and resources.

Of course, due to the reason of the former club, the two parties are currently in the contact period, and we have to wait for the official signing, but the necessary guarantees have been confirmed, otherwise Wei Yang would not have given him the resource of "Scary Step by Step" .

Although Boss Wei's business is not exhaustive, but as a person who has witnessed it, he will never be prostituted for nothing like the Tang people.

"The heroine has been given to you, the hero..."

Cai Yinong pondered for a while, and was about to speak, but before he finished speaking, Boss Wei stopped him: "Let me emphasize, Shi Shi is an artist of your company."

"..."

Cai Yinong was choked up, and the two families invested roughly equally. It was fair for one side to produce a female lead and the other to produce a male lead.

It's just that Liu Shishi is Wei Yang's girlfriend, so it always makes people feel that he has taken advantage of the double share.

The share is not easy to talk about, but Li Guoqing did not give up, but talked about coffee status and influence.

"Male lead, we are going to find Wu Qilong from the Little Tigers, he is more famous and good for the TV series..."

"The Little Tigers are dead."

Wei Yang waited quietly for him to finish speaking, and then said simply: "Director Li, don't think they are popular again just because of a Spring Festival Gala program, Su Youpeng is fine, and the other two are just like that, just eat something from the past. old bottom."

So far, Wei Yang didn't say anything, but emphasized: "This drama is invested by our two companies, and the artists of our two companies should be the first to be promoted."

One of the big problems of Tangren is that many high-level executives are from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Even if the project does not have a Taiwanese background, they habitually like to use Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.

That's all for Wu Qilong in the original "Scary Step by Step", he is well-known anyway, and he has also collaborated with "Strange Woman from a Liaozhai Studio" before.

But Zheng Jiaying, the male second, was really very limited in the mainland at that time. Tang Ren was stunned to let Yuan Hong play the supporting role of Thirteen, so that he could act more as the eighth child.

Perhaps there might have been some mainland brokerage agreement at that time, but nothing was heard afterwards.

Moreover, after he became popular, he immediately returned to the Hong Kong circle, without giving Tang Ren any face as his benefactor. In the end, he did not appear in "Scared by Every Step" because the price could not be negotiated.

This TM's injustice!
Therefore, when Wei Yang collaborated, he directly called out actors from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan actors can be used, but there is no need to give such a big role unless there is enough interest.

"The reason is very clear, no matter how popular these artists are, we can't share a dime, so even if there are slight disadvantages, as long as they are our own, these disadvantages can be ignored."

Whether it is Wu Qilong or Zheng Jiaying, they are not irreplaceable. Even in terms of current popularity, Qiao Zhenyu, who became popular after "My Love from the Star", may be stronger than the two.

At Wei Yang's insistence, although Cai and Li did not directly agree, they also expressed their intention to go back and consider it carefully.

It can be said that it is basically the same, but it is just a bit of respect.

Wei Yang did not continue to be aggressive, but instead threw a bomb at Tang Ren, which made Lao Cai dizzy.

"Internet drama?"

Wei Yang introduced: "I have two projects in my hand, one is called "Mao Liao", which is an improved remake based on a small-budget online drama, and the other is called "Soul Ferry", which is relatively supernatural. I plan to let Hu Ge Come play, the price is easy to negotiate."

Web dramas are now in the stage of testing the waters, there is no need for Wei Yang to charge forward by himself, unless the platform nods and smashes sky-high prices.

But Wei Yang can't just watch. Currently, major companies don't pay much attention to online dramas. It's time for Blue Whale to open up the market first, make friends with major platforms, and accumulate audience reputation.

If Wei Yang didn't show up, blue whales such as Li Jiahang could be auctioned, but the key point was that they couldn't sell for a high price.

The income from webcasting is already low, and there is no celebrity to support it. Whether it is placement of advertisements or sales prices, it is difficult to negotiate.

Hu Ge is one of the hottest male stars at the moment. If he can be the leading actor, it will be very beneficial to Blue Whale's web drama project.

Of course, Hu Ge is now focusing on the film market. Although it is not going well, it is not easy to get him to make online dramas. He must let Li Tang people to impress them.

Wei Yang is still somewhat sure of this point. The Tang people have filmed commercial dramas several times. As long as the benefits and rewards are sufficient, they don't have so many worries.

In fact, there is no so-called discrimination chain in online dramas these days, because they are still in their infancy, and in the eyes of some people, they are not much different from commercial dramas.

Wei Yang started talking about these two scripts, and then offered a very attractive price, and even pulled out the investment of the next company, Huyou Tangren.

However, Lao Cai was still hesitant about this project. Although he was tempted, he did not let go: "I have to ask what Lao Hu means..."

...

A few hours later, Wei Yang personally took Blue Whale executives to arrange a banquet for Cai Yinong and his wife, which also celebrated the beginning of the in-depth cooperation between the two companies.

Today alone, the two sides roughly negotiated three projects.

"Scary Step by Step" co-produced by both parties!
One of the two online drama projects, out of caution, Tang Ren only made a small-scale investment, plus supporting the behind-the-scenes production, and also considered sending a brother to join.

Finally, the two sides are also preparing to collaborate on a modern idol drama, but it is expected to start filming next year.

The in-depth cooperation with Tangren has brought many benefits to the blue whale.

Not only did he get a strong support, but he could also participate in Tangren's high-quality projects and take advantage of Tangren's popular artists.

The most important thing is that with the cooperation with Tangren, the slow development speed of Blue Whale due to the shortage of team members has continued.

The extra funds can be invested in Tangren projects to avoid idleness, and they can also borrow people from Tangren to shoot their own projects and buy time for the cultivation of their own team.

When Blue Whale has cultivated enough teams to support the company's project layout, internal artists have also begun to become famous, without the need to rely on the momentum of other artists.

Boss Wei may still cooperate with Tang Ren, but many conditions are different.

The goal is to become the boss of the magic city in the entertainment industry. Wei Yang did not lie to Cai Yinong, but he never thought of joining hands with the Tang people to rule the roost, but intends to monopolize the whole family...
