"So you are an amateur." Manager Zhang sneered, "If you buy this kind of IP, you will definitely have to change it into a plot suitable for filming."
As for the special effects, Manager Zhang won’t talk about it.
Fifty-cent special effects, nothing to say.
There's no way they spent that much money on special effects, that's pretty much it.
"What book fans like is the world built in the book and the protagonist depicted in the plot. You have changed it drastically and it has basically nothing to do with the original work. Will the book fans still buy it?" Tan Mo asked.
"Why not! It would be great if someone can film it." Manager Zhang said disdainfully, "Those book fans have been waiting for so many years, and finally we have made this book into a drama. It is already good."
"Okay." Tan Mo smiled and nodded, "Then let's compete. If it happens to happen to be broadcast at the same time, let's see which one the audience likes to watch more. If not, it's the same with the ratings and the number of views anyway. of."
Manager Zhang sneered, "You can take pictures first and then talk about it."
What nonsense are you talking about
He asked for 600 million to shoot 20 episodes.
It's strange that some fool would invest in them.
"Let's go." Tan Jinqi said to Tan Mo.
Tan Mo nodded and left without saying anything to the people who were setting off.
After the two of them left the house, Manager Zhang disdainfully complained, "It's really useless to talk about chess. I thought that after studying with Director Hou for a few days and filming with Director Liu, I thought I was on their level. "The Biography of Wei and Jin Dynasties" "It was filmed by Director Liu, not him. He was the assistant director, just doing some odd jobs. Filming or anything like that had nothing to do with him."
"He is a newcomer with no works. It is his first time filming, and he has to ask for at least 600 million for only 20 episodes." Another producer, Mr. Gu, was also there, curling his lips and said, "He has a big appetite. But he I don’t even think about it, as a newcomer, even if he has the intention to make good films, does he have the ability to make good films? What director doesn’t want to make good works? The results are unsatisfactory and the results are not good. Is it intentional on their part? ?”
"If it were Directors Hou and Director Liu who came to talk to us about this, and it was them who filmed it, we could think about it carefully." Mr. Yao said, "Tan Jinqi is a newcomer with no works, why should we consider it? Besides, this The script really doesn’t work.”
"Besides, if Tan Jia is so rich, why didn't Tan Jia invest in it? When he originally voted for "The Biography of Wei and Jin", wasn't it quite happy? "The Biography of Wei and Jin" is just the screenwriter Tan Mo, and the real achievements are all attributed to Liu Tan Jia is so happy to invest in this outsider's head. Tan Jinqi's own drama, why doesn't Tan Jia stop investing? Isn't it because he is afraid of losing money!"
"Since Tan Jinqi is so confident, let Tan Jia invest! If Tan Jia doesn't invest, it means that Tan Jinqi actually has no confidence in his heart. He is afraid that he will suffer losses and come to us to be taken advantage of." Yao He always sneered, "He thinks we are fools! It's not like his family doesn't have money, they invested their own money to shoot it!"
"That's right!" Manager Zhang took the opportunity to flatter him, "What Mr. Yao said is absolutely right."
Others called Mr. Yao Yingming.
This made Mr. Yao very happy.
"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting. If they want to come over, it's better not to meet them, otherwise I'll think I'm being petty and hate them because of "The Biography of Wei and Jin Dynasties"." Mr. Yao stood up, "Now that we've met, let's make it clear to them. They don't love them now. Listen, that's their business. If the film turns out to be bad, they will know that what we said today was not meant to make things difficult for them."
Everyone dispersed, and Assistant Zhou followed Mr. Yao back to the office.
"Mr. Yao, they also contacted Xifu Media and Zhulu Culture." Assistant Zhou said, "We are going to Xifu Media this afternoon and Zhulu Culture tomorrow morning."
Mr. Yao sneered, "It doesn't matter who they contact or when they go, it's useless, no one will invest in them."
"With such a big investment, we only filmed 20 episodes." Mr. Yao pouted, "The actors' roles are not enough. The male and female protagonists have enough roles, but what about the supporting roles? As the actors that the management has inserted, we want to give them more roles. How much more can be added to only 20 episodes?”
"For a 40-episode drama, the first 20 episodes can be given to the male and female protagonists, and the last 20 episodes can be added to the supporting roles we want to praise. But he only filmed 20 episodes in total. It cost a lot, but the return on our investment was not enough. "
"Do they still think I'm not being laughed at enough?" Mr. Yao got angry when he mentioned it. "We withdrew our funding from "The Legend of Wei and Jin", but later "The Legend of Wei and Jin" became a big hit. How many people saw Qi Cheng's joke. At that time, there were rumors on the Internet that "The Legend of Wei and Jin" "When the screenwriter and consultant of "The Movie" are the same person and they are very unreliable, why doesn't Tan Mo come out and explain?"
"Even if she doesn't explain publicly, as the largest investor in "The Biography of Wei and Jin", should she explain it to me in private? Regardless of whether I want to keep her in the end, at least she must be somewhat sincere, right? She actually forced Liu The director chooses between her and Qi Cheng.”
"Afterwards, "The Biography of Wei and Jin" was successful, and she also appeared at the Tulip Award Ceremony. Everyone knew who she was. But despite this, she didn't even take the initiative to come to me to express anything." Mr. Yao curled his lips. , and then sneered coldly, "I didn't even apologize. It's like there's nothing wrong today. You come to my place to invest? I'm afraid these brothers and sisters are not because they were born in a family since they were young, and they are used to being the second generation of rich people, so they can't even do this I don’t understand anything about human nature.”
Assistant Zhou said nothing.
However, he felt in his heart that what Tan Mo and Tan Jin Qi did was nothing to blame.
There is no need to apologize to Mr. Yao.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Yao always remembered it because of this incident.
*
In the afternoon, Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo went to Xifu Media.
The other party actually finished listening to Tan Jinqi’s report.
But I also feel that the investment is large, but the number of episodes is small.
"In this case, even the advertising investment will be much less than the 40-episode TV series." President Gao of Xifu Media has a much better attitude than President Yao, and what he said is fair to the point, "In this way, we can discuss the investment amount. , but the episodes need to be longer.”
In other words, the investment should be small and the number of episodes should be long.
"This subject matter is not easy to get a star, so we need to reduce costs and consider online broadcasting." Mr. Gao added, "Online broadcasting is also very good at producing hit dramas. If the reputation is good, it can still be used in the second round. There are also examples like this that are broadcast on stars.”
"After all, this theme has been out of fashion for more than ten years." Mr. Gao said, "Movies like Xianxia did flourish more than ten years ago, and the Shushan series was very classic. But it's no longer possible now. There were also movies a few years ago. People have tried to shoot similar themes, but they have all been rejected. Now this kind of themes are no longer popular."
"I have also read the Shushan series. But this time's script is completely different from the setting of the Shushan series. It has its own complete worldview, just like a real world."
