In 2010, time-travel drama was still a very novel subject.
In the previous life, also after 2010, the two Mary Sue dramas of Qing Dynasty drama "Palace" and "Step by Step" were so popular that they directly sent the two uncles Da Mi Mi and Liu Shishi to the The pinnacle of life.
Although the plot is also a mess...
But there is no way. The theme of time-travel dramas is novel enough, the heroine's looks are good enough, and the market is lacking in TV dramas of this type.
Therefore, the fire seemed logical.
This kind of success can be completely replicated. Yue Guan is really not overly ambitious. The success of these two TV series illustrates this point:
In fact, of the two dramas, "Bu Bu Jing Xin" was the first to be approved. Yu's mother did not buy the copyright of the novel "Bu Bu Jing Xin", and the copyright was taken over by Tang Dynasty. But Yu Ma was particularly optimistic about this subject, so she found Da Mi Mi, who had serious conflicts with Tang Dynasty, and finished filming "Palace" before "Bu Bu Jing Xin".
The plot of "Palace" is basically modeled after "Bu Bu Jing Xin", of course, with some of Yu Ma's own adaptations added, and then this drama became a hit...
"Bu Bu Jing Xin" caught up with "Palace" and became the second time-travel drama that tried its best, and then became a hit again...
What do you think is the value of this
I can only praise my mother for her vision and understanding of the market, but when it comes to the quality of these two dramas... I'm afraid no one with a normal IQ would think so.
For other time-travel dramas, it doesn't matter how good the quality is. As long as it can be the first to catch the crab, the male and female protagonists are good-looking, not too popular with the public, and the plot is bad, it doesn't matter, it will basically be popular.
Of course, these are all things from the past life.
In this generation, the Qing Dynasty no longer exists, and the Qing Dynasty drama naturally no longer exists.
However, personal destiny will change, but the overall process of history is very similar.
In today’s entertainment industry, the market for time-travel dramas is still a vacuum.
Yue Guan is very optimistic about this market. As long as he becomes the first person to eat crabs, it is really difficult to fail.
I think about how confused Uncle Wu was back then. Not only did he become popular with a steamy drama, but he also won over a popular actress who was 17 years younger than him... I'm jealous.
Yue Guan did not expect that Mo Xiangwan would have a time-travel script in his hands, and he was particularly optimistic about this subject.
It can only be said that a gold agent is a gold agent.
"Can I read the script?" Yue Guan's attitude changed obviously.
Mo Xiangwan smiled slightly: "Of course, just wait a moment."
Three minutes later, Mo Xiangwan handed Yue Guan a script.
The name on the script directly attracted Yue Guan's attention - "Love Through Time and Space".
Seeing this name, Yue Guan's eyes lit up instantly.
It's actually this TV series.
In the previous life, this TV series was the first time-travel drama in mainland China. It was aired in 2002, starring Xu Zheng and Zhang Ting. The highest ratings exceeded 10, which was higher than the ratings of "Palace" and "Step by Step". higher.
And the quality is also outstanding.
It was just because it became popular too early, and the Internet was not very developed at that time, so it was not so well-known later.
But this time-travel drama is definitely very popular. If this drama was released in 2010, the time-travel drama may not be so popular.
"Love Through Time" is a Ming Dynasty drama. The time traveled is the early Ming Dynasty. After the two heroines traveled through time, one fell in love with Zhu Yunwen and the other fell in love with Zhu Di.
In fact, the concept is similar to "Palace" and "Bu Bu Jing Xin", but the quality of actors and scripts are inferior in all aspects, and the number of bright fans will only be more than that of pigtail fans, so there is no reason to lose.
Yue Guan opened the script and only glanced at it twice before confirming that it was indeed the time-travel drama he had watched in his previous life.
Seeing Yue Guan's expression becoming more and more satisfied, Mo Xiangwan felt relieved: "Mr. Yue, are you satisfied with my certificate of nomination?"
Yue Guan put down the script, held Mo Xiangwan's hand and said seriously: "I just want to cooperate with professionals like Sister Xiang Wan, and it has nothing to do with Sister Xiang Wan's network resources or anything else. "
Mo Xiangwan laughed directly: "I also hope to cooperate with an honest person like Mr. Yue."
"Just call me by my name, Sister Xiang Wan, and I will be yours from now on."
Yue Guan decided to let Mo Xiangwan join in.
Human resources are one thing, but more importantly, Mo Xiangwan's vision.
Accurately judging the potential of time-travel themes is something that many people do not possess.
Just like Yu's mother, many people complain that Yu's mother is a bitch, but every entertainment company boss hopes to have such a general under his command.
In the entertainment industry, good judgment is very important. Mo Xiangwan's prediction is very rare in Yue Guan's opinion.
However, there are some things that Yue Guan still needs to explain clearly to Mo Xiangwan in advance:
"Sister Ruotong, sister Xiang Wan, I would like to express my views on the positioning of the company."
Li Ruotong nodded: "You say."
"Our company will not be positioned as an artist management company in the future. I even hope that our company will not be involved in the artist management business." Yue Guan said these words solemnly: "Any great entertainment company will basically not be involved in the artist management business." Artist managers, at least, don’t take artist management as a priority. Because there is a conflict between film and television production and artist managers, it is difficult to achieve a win-win situation for both parties.”
The reason is very simple. If your own company does not use your own artists for projects, it is equivalent to giving others an advantage.
But many times, one's own artist is really not suitable for a certain role. Forcing others to use your own people in order not to make it easier will only affect the quality of the work.
No company can strike a good balance, because the profits of the two are inherently contradictory.
Both Li Ruotong and Mo Xiangwan understood this truth, but Li Ruotong couldn't accept it: "You mean our company will mainly be engaged in film and television production in the future? This will be very risky, and artist managers can guarantee income despite droughts and floods."
Yue Guan nodded: "That's true, but the profits created by a phenomenal TV series and movie are far from being comparable to the profits created by a first-line star. And when our company goes public in the future, the fastest way to make money is to cut it from the stock market. Chives. Only small workshops think about making money from artists. Any big entertainment company in the industry will not focus on artist management."
Of course what Yue Guan said was the truth, but after saying so many important points, he still weakened Mo Xiangwan's right to speak and at the same time ensured his position in the company.
He is the only artist signed by the company, so resources will naturally consider him first. And since Mo Xiangwan doesn't have other celebrities under his banner, he won't compete with him for power.
Of course, Yue Guan does it for the good of the company. For the six major film studios in the industry, the focus of profit is not on contracted artists, and the bigger the artists are, the more they tend to go it alone.
Making money by squeezing artists will not become a big trend.
Li Ruotong was a little hesitant, but Mo Xiangwan exceeded Yue Guan's expectations and actually voted in favor: "Yue Guan's idea is also my idea."
Yue Guan and Li Ruotong both looked at Mo Xiangwan in surprise.
If the company does not act as an artist manager, her influence in the company will definitely be greatly reduced.
But Mo Xiangwan does have plans for his career: "The ceiling in the agent industry is too low, so I plan to transform into a producer. What Yue Guan said is right. Only small and medium-sized entertainment companies will make money from artists. Among the six major film studios in the industry, artist managers’ profits account for a very small proportion.”
Yueguan's favorability +10.
He began to like this agent.
Mo Xiangwan did not just bow to Yue Guan to show his favor: "But we don't need to completely deny artist managers. From the company's point of view, we already have Yue Guan for male stars, but we still lack a female star to take charge. If our company focuses on film and television production in the future, we will definitely need a heroine, and it will definitely be cheaper to use our own people than outsiders. With too many stars, it is easy to cause intrigue, so we can control the number and only sign one or two female stars. Of course, the images must be completely different, only one of the same type is enough.”
Yue Guan pondered for a moment and nodded. Mo Xiangwan had given him enough face, so he had to reciprocate the favor.
"What Sister Xiang Wan said makes sense, but soldiers are more valuable than elites. When there are more people, it is easy to have various interest disputes. According to Sister Xiang Wan, you can sign one or two female celebrities, but they must be of completely different types. , to ensure that they will not compete, I don’t want there to be infighting within our company.”
Li Ruotong was very happy to see that Yue Guan and Mo Xiangwan had reached an agreement. She had been worried that Yue Guan and Mo Xiangwan would conflict, and it would be difficult for her to be a good person if she was caught in the middle.
"As you said, our company's main development direction is film and television production. Yue Guan, Xiang Wan, are you all optimistic about the project "Love Through Time"?"
Yue Guan and Mo Xiangwan looked at each other, and Yue Guan nodded affirmatively: "I am very optimistic that the company can invest. If the money is not enough, I can pursue the investment in my own name."
Mo Xiangwan also said: "I have the same opinion. If the money is not enough, I can personally add some more."
Li Ruotong suddenly felt that the chicken drumstick in his hand was no longer fragrant.
Obviously he is the big boss, why are these two big dogs richer than him
