The notebook of "Love Across Time and Space" has now been copied into five copies and placed on the table in the conference room.
A group of executives from Mavericks Film and Television have been sitting in since the morning, and now they have had lunch and have a preliminary understanding of this story.
Because the script was a very important thing, Wen Fan didn't dare to let them take it home to read, otherwise it would be very offending if it were leaked.
"Love Across Time and Space" must have been registered, but the creativity of novels and TV series is really copied all over the world. You copy mine, I copy yours, and you can make a story and TV series by putting it together. .
You can circumvent the registered script by simply changing the settings or characters.
If you want to find fault, you will have to pay a high price, and you may not be able to get what you want.
Therefore, the better the script, the more attention it will take before filming begins, and it will not be sent to the actors at all.
Mavericks Film and Television is a very well-established company, so its production team is divided into several.
Among them, there are two gold medals, one is in the hands of Qi Shoujian, and the other is controlled by Wen Fan himself.
On weekdays, everyone cooperates and competes with each other, which also stimulates a lot of work motivation. It is considered to be a very good model for TV drama production companies.
Sitting in Wen Fan's office now are the confidants of the gold medal production team under him.
The middle-aged man with glasses and a square face in front is Cha Houxin, one of the top producers in the field of TV dramas.
Opposite him is the gold medal director Wei Mingggong, who is as famous as Zhou Pu and is also good at costume dramas.
Then there are promotion manager Shi Siwen, financial manager Diao Bo and artist manager Zhu Tao. These five people are Wen Fan's main team at Mavericks Film and Television.
If a boss has few people to work with, his days as a boss will be numbered.
Wen Fan's control over Mavericks Film and Television is second only to Qi Shojian, and is not inferior to this entrepreneurial boss, thanks to the group of elites he has recruited.
And these five people in front of me are the best.
Financial manager Diao Bo and artist manager Zhu Tao both have professional backgrounds, but over the years, they have become accustomed to speculating and evaluating scripts and putting forward their own suggestions. They are completely diversified talents.
After eating his lunch and drinking coffee, Wen Fan said, "Now that we've seen it all, let's talk about it!"
"This story is very good." Wei Minggong said first, "There is a time-travel gimmick, and there is also a gimmick of the police and the thief's rivals traveling together, plus the two of them respectively like Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di, the famous pair. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, both in terms of conflict and effect, came out...
In particular, it is a rare comedy, which is in line with the preferences of audiences of many ages! When I watched the scene where Zhu Yuanzhang eats the roast duck cooked by Xiaowanzi, I would laugh myself, let alone the audience. "
"Can the ratings break 3?" Wen Fan asked directly.
"With the reputation of Teacher Chu Liuxiang and the joining of Buyiyi, breaking 3 is not a problem at all." Wei Minggong said, "If the performance of "Young Detective" is not satisfactory, I will dare to compete for the ratings championship next year."
"I understand!" Wen Fan said, "What do you mean, our TV series must be produced according to the best standards?"
"certainly."
Wei Minggong said, "Otherwise, the script fee of 30 million yuan and the salary of 10 million Buyiyi will be wasted."
"The effort this time is really big. The entire TV series only has 28 episodes, but it costs almost 100 million." Financial manager Diao Bo sighed: "We are not Shanhai.com, we can't make TV series like this often! "
The market value of Mavericks Film and Television is less than 3 billion U.S. dollars, with a market value of more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. It usually produces 5 TV series and 2 movies at the same time.
They can produce about 20 TV series and about 6 movies a year, and the expenditure on these alone is as high as 2 billion yuan.
Among them, movies are the most expensive, with a total cost of 100 million to 150 million for each movie.
After all, Mavericks Film and Television has been the king of the TV drama industry for many years. If you want to develop new projects and work towards movies, this money must be spent.
Even so, in the past few years, under the pressure of several major film groups, Mavericks Film and Television still has not had many opportunities, and has produced only a handful of films that have achieved both word-of-mouth and box office success.
In other words, their TV series continue to make money to subsidize the film department, otherwise the film department would have been stagnant due to losses.
But it doesn’t work if you don’t do this. The film industry is always the most profitable and the most popular. Otherwise, why would Weibao Films, Daqi Entertainment and Yanhuang Pictures be worth billions, so much higher than the market value of Mavericks Films
In terms of making money and the stability of making money, Mavericks Film and Television’s TV series are not much worse than them.
Wen Fan knew this very well.
So he didn't pay attention to Diao Bo's reminder, "We at Mavericks Film and Television need not only to make money, but also influence within the industry. Once "Young Detective Dee" is successful, and our "Love Through Time and Space" "Follow me immediately and you will definitely get more attention!"
"The most important thing is, with this fate, can't we continue to cooperate with Teacher Chu in the next step?" Gold medal producer Cha Houxin continued, ""The Story of Xiaoba" is definitely another good movie. The subject matter, whether it is a movie or a TV series, there is room for manipulation!"
"Hehe, you don't have to think too much now." Wen Fan shook his head, "Can you still find Buyiyi next time? Can you still contact Teacher Lu Xiaofeng? Teacher Chu even signed the contract this time with Buyiyi on his behalf. By going directly to Buyiyi’s account, it’s clear that he doesn’t want to have more contact with us.”
"What the hell, don't we have a little more advantage than others? As long as it works by then, what else will we lose if it doesn't work?" Shi Siwen continued.
"That's not bad!" Wen Fan agreed with a smile.
For such a great writer with an eccentric temper and aversion to contact with the outside world, Mavericks Film and Television cannot wait forever.
There are so many talented writers. Even if Mr. Chu Liuxiang's "The Gift of Room No. 7" is excellent, can his output and quality be better than those of five, six, or seven or eight playwrights
Maybe not!
Besides, who doesn’t know that Mr. Chu Liuxiang’s favorite thing is large-scale production. When it came to the release of “Love Letter”, Shanhai.com was very impressed by Shanhai.com’s generous work, so he handed over “The Gift of Room No. 7” to Shanhai.com for production.
I heard that his condition is that he must be the best.
So here comes the story. It is said that Shanhai.com spent a total of almost 1 billion yuan on "The Gift of Room No. 7".
Although most of the world's award announcements are made, such high production costs have never happened in the history of Chinese films.
This is the main reason why Wen Fan doesn't take the subsequent cooperation with Chu Liuxiang very seriously.
At least for now, Mavericks Film and Television is not qualified to compete with giants like Shanhai.com, and it will take at least many years to cooperate with Mr. Chu Liuxiang.
What the environment will be like then, whether Teacher Chu Liuxiang can write best-selling novels or sensational movie scripts is a question mark.
Of course, as far as this time's "Love Across Time and Space" is concerned, Wen Fan is very satisfied.
The field of TV dramas is the foundation of Mavericks Film and Television.
Being able to get one of Chu Liuxiang's masterpieces, even if the price paid is a little higher, is still very useful and can consolidate Mavericks Films' dominant position in the television industry.
"But there is one thing you need to pay attention to." The artist manager Zhu Tao who had been silent next to him frowned and said, "This old guy is getting more and more outrageous. He relied on Buyiyi and Chu Liuxiang to give me a list of actors. , from the leading actor to the supporting role, he wants to be a part of everything except the female police officer Xiaoying is afraid to touch."
"Humph, this person is famous for being domineering and likes to eat everything." Cha Houxin said, "I produced several TV series because I used his artists, but I was fed up with his interference."
"What should we do this time? It's impossible to give it all to him, right?" Wei Mingggong said unhappily: "We still have to praise our own people! If nothing else, Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen, our own actors are not good ? It’s rare to see such a flattering TV series!"
Wen Fan was not very fond of Lai Haijin.
A mere agent, even if you are one of the top ten agents, what do you mean to me
Now that I heard that he was so outrageous, I just got the script, and before the rest of the characters were revealed, he started to intervene on a large scale. How dare I pay you to train new people, and you alone get all the benefits
That does not work!
Thinking of this, Wen Fan said: "Reject him! We don't want anyone except Buyiyi! There's a chance that he won't let Buyiyi play!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
How could Lai Haijin give up this opportunity for Buyiyi to star in Teacher Chu Liuxiang's script
There is also a reward of 10 million, but he can raise a lot!
"But don't be so stiff in your words. Just say that we have made arrangements and look forward to working together on the next film." Cha Houxin warned Zhu Tao.
He is the person who has followed Wen Fan since the beginning of his business. He is very capable, so he can naturally take more care.
"good!"
Zhu Tao also understood.
After all, Lai Haijin not only has Buyiyi, but also many good actors, and everyone collaborates a lot on weekdays.
If there is a stalemate all of a sudden, it may have a bad impact.
Wen Fan didn't say much about it. Instead, he said: "As for "Love Across Time and Space," we need to start production as soon as possible, and try to launch it immediately after the Spring Festival, that is, after "Young Di Renjie." In addition, on the one hand… "
He turned to Shi Siwen, "Your publicity should also keep up. From now on, you can slowly start to hype up."
"Now that the hype is going on, we can actually borrow the power of Shanhai.com," Shi Siwen said with a smile, "They are launching a large-scale promotion of "Young Di Renjie". We have Buyiyi and Teacher Chu Liuxiang here, don't they happen to be attached to it? Would you like to save some effort?"
After Shanhai.com won the victory against Shining Technology, it became even stronger.
"The Gift of Room No. 7" continues to conquer the city, and its box office and reputation continue to rise rapidly. They are also focusing on promoting the upcoming "Young Detective Detective".
Basically everyone knows that there is such a blockbuster drama that will be released before the Spring Festival in January, and countless TV fans are waiting for the release of this TV series.
It is said that the annual VIP users of Shanhai.com have increased significantly as a result.
Everyone nearby was laughing.
But Wen Fan also frowned without any trace.
He really doesn't want to think about the days when his own strength is not enough and he can only watch other people's majesty.
But what can be done
Shanhai.com is so powerful!
Wen Fan can only look forward to his continuous progress, and one day he will be able to truly establish a foothold in the film industry and become a real film and television tycoon!
Only in this way can he live up to his hard work over the years.
