The TV series produced by Yue Guan have never pursued the number of episodes, although in theory the longer the filming is, the more money they will make. After all, when TV stations buy TV series, they calculate the money based on the number of episodes. But in fact, Miracle Company’s current dramas will definitely make money no matter how many episodes they film.
What Yue Guan pursues is a sense of rhythm that is just right. He won't intentionally squander the plot in order to make more money. At worst, he will just set the price of a single episode higher.
Miracle Company now has bargaining power.
Under normal circumstances, the TV station will not compete with Yue Guan on this matter. Of course, this does not matter what channel it is.
In order to make more money, some TV stations will take the initiative to suggest that Yue Guan make the TV series longer, and some TV stations will even edit it themselves.
This is why Yue Guan is more willing to cooperate with Yang Ma.
Compared with local stations, which are all aligned with interests, as the boss of the TV station, Yangma values political correctness more, and making money is not its first priority.
Therefore, by cooperating with it, Miracle Company does not have to worry about its dramas being edited in a mess.
"Journey to the West" was a hit at the beginning of the year, but this drama only lasted thirty episodes and ended after the Lantern Festival.
There is no doubt that this drama has become the most popular TV drama at the beginning of 2014. After the Lantern Festival, Yue Guan also officially started working. "Journey to the West" was to be sold for the second round of broadcast rights. In order to build momentum for the show, Yue Guan once again appeared on the "Art of Life" program group.
He was also specially invited by the program team of "Artistic Life".
After all, we are old friends.
Since listening to Yue Guan's advice, the ratings and influence of the "Art Life" program have exploded.
Nowadays, "Art of Life" has become one of the top three ratings among variety shows in the country. It ranks first among CCTV's variety shows without any suspense. It has also received strong praise from the leaders, saying that this program is the most popular one for today's variety shows. brought a breath of fresh air to the entertainment industry.
The best variety show of the year last year was "Art Life", and producer Wang Zheng won the best producer. Zhu Jun also defeated other hosts with "Art Life" and won the radio and television program host award. The highest human award - the Golden Microphone Award.
Both Wang Zheng and Zhu Jun thanked Yue Guan from the bottom of their hearts. They knew very well who had the greatest credit for the "Art Life" program team to achieve its current success.
Yue Guan also likes the revised content of "Art Life". Since the revision of "Art Life", almost everyone in the entertainment industry is in danger, and the atmosphere has really improved a lot.
In the past half year, no one has dared to post any press releases about their efforts, and it has never happened again that someone even posted a post on Weibo asking for comfort after being bruised during filming.
This is a welcome change.
So when he received another invitation from the "Artistic Life" program team, Yue Guan accepted the invitation directly without much hesitation.
In fact, the current "Art Life" does not invite celebrities very much. They just name them directly from a distance. Under normal circumstances, one positive image and one negative image are named in each issue.
In this program format, it is okay to invite positive images, but it will be very embarrassing if negative images are invited.
But there is definitely no problem in inviting Yue Guan.
Because Yue Guan must have a positive image.
Moreover, in this issue of Art Life, the target is not actually a certain star, but some chaos in the industry.
As someone who has experienced this kind of chaos, Yue Guan can speak out from his own experience.
Before the recording of the program started, Yue Guan specifically asked Zhu Jun: "Teacher Zhu, do you really want me to speak freely?"
Zhu Jun smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, there are several leaders who watch our program every day. They like us to tell the truth and not make lies."
Someone above them endorsed it, and the host of Yangma will let you know why they were able to join the national TV station.
As long as the business requires it, a professional and sensational person will turn into a professional and venomous person in a second.
These are all basic operations.
Zhu Jun was not worried, and Yue Guan was even less worried.
So he let go.
"Yue Guan, we all know that the drama "Journey to the West" has received high ratings and aroused great response from the audience. The Jade Emperor played by you has also won unanimous praise from the audience. In this way A popular TV series, if it can shoot a few more episodes, it will definitely make a lot more money, right?"
Zhu Jun offered a suggestion, and Yue Guan immediately took up the role: "It is true that if ten more episodes are filmed, the revenue from this drama will definitely increase a lot. But you can't make all the money. Compared to making more I care more about reputation than money. The most important thing is to satisfy the audience. Whether it is a company or an actor, what is important is the long-term success. Once this drama is filmed, the audience of the next drama will have confidence in you. If This drama has a bad reputation, so what else can you do to attract viewers to watch your next TV drama?"
"But I found that recently many domestic dramas have seventy or eighty episodes in one shot. This seems to have become a common trend." Zhu Jun said.
This is the main issue they discussed today.
Yue Guan nodded: "Mr. Zhu, actually I have something to say. TV stations have to bear a lot of responsibility for this situation. As far as our company is concerned, when we contact other TV stations, we are often actively hinted to shoot more episodes. They would rather spend more time. More money, and I hope we can shoot more episodes in exchange for more advertising fees. Even after our company's dramas are sold, some TV stations will deliberately edit them to be too long. This is why our company is particularly willing to work with us. The reason for the cooperation with CCTV is that this situation will not happen with CCTV. Many TV stations are all about money and completely ignore the quality of the work and the opinions of the audience. This is killing the goose that takes the egg. Coupled with investors adding fuel to the fire, domestic dramas will become It’s smelly, long, and very slow-paced. But the pace of real life is very fast, so the audience will become very divided, and eventually they will give up on domestic dramas, which is a loss for the entire industry.”
"do you have any good advice?"
"In fact, the best way is to let the superiors come forward, otherwise, driven by money, TV stations and investors will not let go of more profitable ways. Never overestimate the bottom line of practitioners. Nowadays, many plagiarized novels have been adapted into movies , as long as it can make money, no one cares about other things at all, and regulations must be imposed, otherwise in future domestic dramas, even the most serious matters will be watered down in one or two episodes."
Yue Guan spoke very straightforwardly, Zhu Jun reminded: "Yue Guan, in fact, you are also considered a practitioner and an investor."
Of course Yue Guan would not miss this opportunity and immediately said: "Mr. Zhu, actually I have always regarded myself as an actor. You know, I have never been short of money. Not only me, but also celebrities. .For me, making money is secondary, leaving behind classic characters is the most important thing. The greatest success of the drama "Journey to the West" for me is not how much money this drama has earned for me. , but through this drama, the Jade Emperor I portrayed has been recognized by the audience. Now the avatar on the banknotes of Tiandi Bank has been replaced by mine. This is my biggest gain, and it makes me happier than making 100 million. "
After finishing this pretense, Yue Guan felt refreshed.
Thank you, Jade Emperor.
From now on, he will be the man who controls the finances of the underworld.
