Golden Age 1990

Chapter 79 "Three Kingdoms" is sold in five parts! (Tenth update)

"I understand! That is to say, first sell the broadcasting rights, and then get the money back, let's make a movie?"

"That's a good idea! But, does anyone really buy it?"

"Buy it if you can't broadcast it? I don't believe it."

"That's not as good as this, let's show our sincerity."

"What sincerity?"

"Sold everything that could be sold! If we sell a lot, they will feel that we are solid."

"It's a good idea."

Bai Feng proposed the concept of futures, which simply opened the door to a new world for Mr. Wang and the others.

Can it be sold like this?
If it can be sold, how can it be sold?

Let's be a little more honest.

When Bai Feng heard these discussions, he really felt dumbfounded.

Stop now.

"Teachers! How about I say a few words?"

After all, it was Bai Feng who proposed it, so of course he must be given a chance.

"You guys wait a moment and listen to what our Comrade Bai Feng has to say."

It had to be Teacher Wang Fulin, his words really carried weight.

Bai Feng got this opportunity, smiled at Teacher Wang, and then said something that surprised many teachers.

"First of all, we want to sell "Three Kingdoms". Then, teachers, I beg you, Bai Feng, please don't repeat what you said just now."

ah?What does it mean?
Fortunately, everyone's comprehension ability is very strong, and they will understand soon.

Teacher Wang Fulin said: "Comrade Bai Feng, what do you mean, we can't just sell everything we can?"

Bai Feng nodded, "That's it."

He explained it right away.

"I also know what all the teachers are thinking. I'm from the Northeast. Of course I also understand that small profits but quick turnover, three yuan a piece, five yuan a pair, sell out early and go home early, right?"

When he said this, everyone laughed.

Even director Cai Xiaoqing showed a smile.

In fact, she filmed the most of "Three Kingdoms", and Teacher Wang Fulin is now more of a coordinator.

When Bai Feng saw that what he said had an effect, he was very happy.

“Teachers, let’s put it this way, it is indeed better to make small profits but quick turnover for general commodities, because we can produce those commodities quickly and maintain a large quantity.

But film and television products, or literary and artistic products, are different.

Once a product like this is made, it is made. Even if it may be made again in the future, this version will definitely be different from the later ones.

Teachers may think that what we do later may surpass the current version, but what I want to tell you is this.

Even if the later ones may surpass what we are doing now, our version is the only one!
Even if there are flaws, even if there are such and such defects, it is unique!
Mozart's music is still a classic, Da Vinci's paintings are priceless, and Li Bai's poems are still being praised...

Therefore, we cannot sell our works like selling general commodities! "

Bai Feng's words really had a deafening effect.

Many of the teachers here, they immediately understood.

That's right, we shouldn't sell it easily!
Moreover, we should sell it more expensively!
Even if it can't be broadcast now, so what?
Maybe it's a kind of luck that they can buy the broadcasting rights in the future!
Bai Feng looked at the expressions of the teachers and he was quite happy.

In fact, he knew exactly why this happened.

These teachers are not ignorant of how the value of literary and artistic works should be reflected.

But, they haven't sold it like this before!

That's it really, for that simple reason.

Our country’s copyright law has not been revised to this day, which indeed highlights the reality of not keeping up with the times.

Just like, tax must be paid only if the income from a literary work exceeds 800 yuan.

You know, when this regulation was formulated, 800 yuan was a lot of money.

But this 800-yuan tax line will last for about 20 more years.

And behind all this, it actually highlights the fact that our domestic cultural market has been in a long-term slump!

To put it bluntly, how much should a film and television drama cost to buy and how much should it sell?

Not good.

But, overall it should be very cheap.

Even this copyright, in the eyes of many people, is worthless at all.

Don't talk about others, how much does CCTV itself respect copyright?
If they were very respectful, would Mr. Chen Peisi file a lawsuit with them later?
Moreover, even if Teacher Chen wins, it is the same as losing.

If you don’t respect copyright, how can you think this thing is valuable?
These teachers here are all very dedicated, conscientious in filming, and they will never be sloppy with their works.

But, do they really know how to make their works produce greater economic effects, that is, sell them better?

they do not know.

I have never done it, never been in contact with it, and have never wasted a single brain cell on this.

Of course they can't know.

But Bai Feng knows.

After 30 years, a film and television series is sold without being filmed. Is this a new thing?

It's like every year during the Spring Festival, the movies that can enter this schedule have already signed a lot of gambling contracts before the filming starts.

Indeed, many viewers are complaining about this phenomenon.

Bai Feng also felt that there were some works that were poorly shot and took up a lot of filming, and even created supernatural events such as ghost soldiers watching a play.

very bad!
He also scolded.

However, behind this situation is the close integration of film and television works and capital.

Well, 30 years later, the film and television industry has combined too much with capital, and it should indeed be scolded.

But at present, in our film and television industry, there is very little capital, which is also wrong.

If you want to invigorate the market, you have to make good use of capital.

To put it bluntly, there is no way to invigorate the market without money.

Therefore, when Bai Feng came to the "Three Kingdoms" crew this time, his core plan was decided early on.

That is to promote this drama and connect with capital.

Moreover, this product has been confirmed early on and is going to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong now has a lot of capital and is very active, and we might be able to get some foreign capital.

In fact, Bai Feng had long planned to promote "Three Kingdoms" to Japan and earn a lot of foreign exchange!
Of course he knew that "Three Kingdoms" was sold in Japan in the original time and space, but in his opinion, it was sold too cheaply.

It seems to be [-] US dollars per episode... If I, Bai Feng, still sell it at this price, then I, Bai Feng, will write the words backwards!
He had planned it long ago, but he couldn't tell everything yet.

It’s pretty good now, that’s pretty much it, so next…

"Teachers, let me ask first, how many parts are we going to shoot for "Three Kingdoms" this time?"

How many parts?

He didn't ask how many episodes, but parts.

Director Cai Xiaoqing laughed, "We originally planned to shoot in five parts."

Bai Feng knew that Teacher Cai had understood, so he made a quick decision, "Okay! Our "Three Kingdoms" this time will be sold in five parts!"

Hey guys, sell it part by part?
Although Teacher Cai had guessed it before, he never expected that this young man Bai Feng would be so ruthless.

Some teachers couldn't help it, "Comrade Bai Feng, it's not good to sell like this. If a TV station doesn't have enough funds and only buys one or two parts, wouldn't it be incomplete for the audience to watch it? Especially if it's sold to Hong Kong." If not, wouldn’t that have left a bad impression on Hong Kong audiences?”

Listen to this, how simple.

Bai Feng immediately frowned, "Teacher, why do you care about the Hong Kong TV station? Why do you care whether the Hong Kong audience is happy or not? Are you planning to be the Governor of Hong Kong?"
Expensive is not our problem, it is their problem! "

Good guy, this confrontation almost gave the old director a cerebral hemorrhage.

However, Bai Feng's reasoning is correct.

Everyone comforted immediately, but they were holding back their laughter.

However, don't underestimate this little episode, which is a difference in thinking.Most of you here are from CCTV or other systems, and they have always had an idea.

Making movies and TV series is not only about making money, but also about serving the people.

This idea is good, but Bai Feng is very clear that he has to change his thinking now!

"Then we'll sell it for five pieces..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone came out and interrupted.

"Comrade Bai Feng, let's sell the five volumes... It seems that the five volumes are not evenly distributed."

"What's the unevenness?"

"The first part probably has more than 20 episodes, but according to our current budget, we filmed it later... that is to say, the fifth part may only have about ten episodes."

This statement is quite important.

Bai Feng laughed and said, "It's easy! When we sell the broadcast rights, we will have money. With money, we can shoot more! So, we are making plans now. The fifth part will have more than 20 episodes." shoot!"

After he said this, everyone summed up again.

That's right!

"Okay! Just do it!"

"If you have money, you can shoot more! No problem!"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that before?"

All the teachers were excited. Diao Chan, who was watching the show, oh, it was Sister Hong. She couldn't make a sound, she kept covering her mouth and laughing.

Unexpectedly, brother Ah Feng played tricks on these teachers... oh, it can't be said to be tricks, what he said is indeed true.

But really fun.

Moreover, sister Hong also noticed a detail, that is, when Bai Feng talks, he always likes to say "we".

Diao Chan has discovered Hua Dian, don't underestimate such a small detail as 'we', if you say this, isn't it implying: I, Bai Feng, are with everyone.

This is a small method of psychological suggestion that Bai Feng is very good at, and the current effect looks good.

A "Three Kingdoms" is sold in five parts. Is this the end?

"By the way, Teacher Wang, Teacher Cai, I heard from Teacher Cao Li that we have 12 protagonists?"

Bai Feng remembered what he had talked about in the Haima Song and Dance Hall back then.

Teacher Wang and Teacher Cai nodded immediately.

"Yes, there are indeed 12 protagonists."

"Oh, you knew Xiao Cao before."

There is nothing wrong with Teacher Cao becoming Little Cao.

The point that Bai Feng wants to say is not this, "Do we have a final makeup photo?"

"Have."

This is of course, Teacher Cao has told the story of Liu Bei before.

Bai Feng remembers them all.

"Is there any painting left?"

"What painting?"

Teachers Wang and Cai were a little confused.

Bai Feng immediately slapped his thigh, "Oh, the painting is the portrait of these 12 protagonists."

Everyone is confused.

"Does it matter?"

Bai Feng looked angry and sorrowful, "Of course it's important! Teachers, I beg you all to draw the portraits of these 12 protagonists as soon as possible, and then, let's return these photos If there are portraits, hand them over to the Copyright Office."

All teachers are dumbfounded.

"Why hand it over to the Copyright Bureau?" Teacher Wang couldn't help asking.

Bai Feng looked speechless, "Apply for a patent! It's best to apply for international patents!"

apply for patent?

Can I apply for this?
To be honest, Bai Feng doesn't know if he can apply for a patent now, but he knows that he can in the future. If he reasoned according to the relatively sound foreign copyright laws, then he should...

"These can be sold too!"

All the teachers were dumbfounded. They had never heard of it before.

Even Diao Chan was stunned, but Bai Feng immediately added a patch.

"People's portrait copyrights, celebrity portrait copyrights...not only can they be sold, but they can also be sold at a good price!"

Good guy, after Bai Feng's dismantling of it, the directors and teachers of the drama "Three Kingdoms" will definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

Just our play, how much does it cost!

　It will be delivered at ten more, and at the same time, a new book by a friend will be pushed: "This actor is good at rational analysis".

　　I couldn't hold it any longer, so I went to sleep. Finally, I ask everyone to support and subscribe more. If possible, please help the black car to spread the word. This book really needs to be exposed, thank you very much.
