Chapter 378 Feng Yumin's Suggestion

Basically, in the current country, among the new TV dramas launched every year, if the cost really exceeds 10 million, it is considered a big project, if it exceeds 15 million, it is considered a big production, and if it exceeds 20 million... There are not many dramas like this in a year in China.

There are no other reasons, two.

First, if the investment is too large, the risk will increase sharply. Even veterans in the industry dare not play too much, because everyone is afraid of losing money; second, the current domestic audience before 2000 is relatively easy to deceive.

The story is not too bad, the actors are not too bad, then basically OK!

The set is poor, fake, the image quality is poor, try to use poorer shooting equipment, the costumes and props are fake, the big scenes are less, and even more empty shots are cut in, the plots of the previous episodes overlap, and the synopsis of the previous episodes is more , At least one to one and a half episodes of water in 10 episodes... These are nothing to the current audience, and they are completely tolerable.

And even so, despite the fact that every year there are so many episodes of TV dramas that go directly to the warehouse as soon as they are shot, but as long as the production is not too bad, there will always be money to be made!

Even if the several channels of Huaxia TV are not counted, there are more than 30 provincial-level satellite TVs in China, and these satellite TV channels often have two sets, or even three or four sets of program channels, plus some economic prosperity The government-level TV stations in big cities are willing to spend money to buy new dramas... This market is actually quite big.

Fifty-two weeks a year, five days a week of TV drama broadcast time, a satellite TV channel, generally has four TV drama time slots: morning theater, afternoon theater, evening golden theater and midnight theater, and some even have noon theater and late night theater. Some satellite TV stations that can't produce too many variety shows simply broadcast TV dramas in the morning and afternoon on Saturdays and weekends. Even if it is calculated according to the standard, each theater has two episodes, and a TV station has at least eight episodes of TV dramas a day, and at least 40 episodes of TV dramas in a week! If it is not standard, there are as many as sixty or even seventy episodes!

Among them, the morning theater and the midnight theater had the worst ratings, and they generally chose reruns of word-of-mouth dramas. They were often TV dramas that had been broadcast for several rounds, last year, or even earlier, because it was the most economical to buy movies that way.

As for the afternoon theater, unless they are rich and powerful like Huaxia TV, Shuntian TV, and Dongfang TV, they will directly launch new dramas. Most of the other TV stations will only broadcast the TV series that were popular some time ago for the second round.

But anyway, no matter how foolish you are at other times, there will definitely be a new show at the Golden Theater in the evening!

Calculated in this way, even ordinary satellite TV stations need to broadcast about 2,000 to 3,000 episodes of TV dramas a year, of which at least 500 episodes are new dramas! A provincial-level TV station that pays more attention to each channel together broadcasts more than 6,000 episodes of TV dramas a year, of which only 1,500 to 2,000 episodes of new dramas—for some popular TV dramas In other words, it is even more expensive for a TV station to buy its second-round broadcast rights than to buy the first broadcast rights of some small-produced new dramas. Therefore, the second-round programs of general satellite TV stations also buy hundreds of episodes of new dramas every year!

In such a large market, even if the hit dramas are repeatedly broadcast by major TV stations, to be honest, at least 20,000 to 30,000 episodes of new dramas are required to be broadcast every year. It's a pity that at present, the quality of domestic TV drama production is uneven, which has led to many TV stations preferring to rebroadcast old dramas over and over again, rather than spending money to buy new dramas-of course, for TV stations, controlling the cost of purchasing dramas , is another consideration.

Therefore, the current domestic TV dramas are like this. On the one hand, TV stations actually need more new dramas, but they are troubled by the overall production quality of TV dramas. On the one hand, everyone thinks that TV dramas are easy to make money, so we all watch TV dramas together, and all kinds of shoddy productions come out, which makes the TV stations tighten their pockets, which leads to a large number of movies being shot with nothing to return.

Feng Yumin said that the pool of TV dramas is very deep...of course it is very deep!

Of course Li Qian agrees with this point. In fact, whether it is this time and space, or the time and space he has experienced, even whether it is 1995 or 2015, the pool of TV dramas is always deep!

However, he knew very well in his heart that when it comes to these things, Feng Yumin is definitely not where he ends up! He said so much, and he summed it up as "the water of TV dramas is very deep", which is actually just an introduction!

So, when Feng Yumin finished speaking, he nodded his head to express his approval, and stopped talking. He just quietly picked up his teacup and drank tea, waiting for Feng Yumin to speak first.

Sure enough, after Feng Yumin drank a few sips of tea, he picked up the script again and said to Li Qian, "So, Qianer, if you listen to me, how about leaving this play to me?"

Sure enough, it came!

Li Qian looked up at him, with a half-smile on his face, and said, "Leave it to you? How should I say it?"

Feng Yumin put down the script and said seriously: "This is a good book, there is no doubt about it. The story of The Legend of the White Snake has been sung in the play for hundreds of years, and there are many types of plays. In 1982, our Huaxia TV station also I filmed it once, and the reputation at that time was very good. Your "Legend of the New White Snake" is an old drama with a new story, and the character creation and plot arrangement are very beautiful!"

After a pause, he said: "I still say the same thing, this book is in the hands of the right director and the right actors are found. I don't dare to say that it is popular, but it is definitely above the standard! So, for us Huaxia TV , this book is very good, I can be responsible for keeping up with the investment, and even I can personally set up a group, shoot it, and live up to the quality of your book.”

"But for you, Qian'er, think about it, according to what you said, the investment of 20 to 30 million yuan is not because I don't believe in your talent and talent, the key is that you have no experience at all! It can be successfully shot Fortunately, let me tell you, I have seen a lot of plays over the years, where millions or even tens of millions of dollars were invested in, but halfway through the filming, they stopped! All the money was wasted! And, the most important thing is, to be honest, Qian'er, such a good book, I'm afraid you'll ruin it!"

Li Qian took a deep breath, did not speak, and waited for his next words.

Feng Yumin continued: "If you want to do this, I support you. We have forgotten our old friends, and I can't leave you alone! See if this works. I will go to the leader to invest. After I want to establish a project and invest, we will Negotiate a price, and I will directly discount the script for you to invest in. In addition, you can bring several million into the team and directly participate in the investment! And..." He paused emphatically at this point , then said again: "I will be the producer of this film. Whether I direct it myself or find another director to direct it, you will be the assistant director. How about it?"

Li Qian couldn't help being moved when he heard the words - he had already made up his mind that he had to film this movie himself, so no matter what Feng Yumin said, it would not be possible to make his heart move, but the other party's fists and intentions were enough to make him laugh. He was moved by it!

You know, because of its unique political status, Huaxia Television has always been the leader in the domestic media circle. The same is true for TV drama production. It is not only the largest TV station in China, but also the largest TV drama production organization in China. Only in this way, dealing with it is extremely difficult.

In short, except for a few special cases, basically no one can get involved in the dramas made by Huaxia TV. People share the expected profit——As early as when Feng Yumin said that he wanted Li Qian to hand over the play to him, Li Qian originally thought that was what Feng Yumin meant, that is, their TV station directly spent a sum of money to buy the script. Then nothing happened to me.

But obviously, Feng Yumin didn't do that, no matter because of the emphasis on the script, or because of his friendship with Li Qian, Feng Yumin chose a more difficult path - let Li Qian join the group!

In fact, if it is not obsessive and has to be the director, the idea proposed by Feng Yumin is actually the most reliable way at the moment!

Minghu Culture and Huaxia TV cooperated in investment. Feng Yumin from Huaxia TV sent the most reliable crew to produce it, while Li Qian mixed in here to accumulate experience and qualifications. In the future, when the TV series is finished, he can still do it. Then enjoy the profits in the later period-this is not a treatment that just anyone can get!

The most professional Huaxia TV drama production center in China is currently responsible for the production, the quality of the drama is guaranteed, the investment is shared by both parties, and the risk is minimized. What's more, Huaxia TV's own investment and production will of course be broadcast on Huaxia TV, and the sales of the TV series after the film is completed is tantamount to solving it together! As long as the show is good, Huaxia TV, a big platform, will definitely give full play to the popularity it should have!

Moreover, the more important point is that with this opportunity to cooperate, Li Qian has really established a relationship with Huaxia TV. This is a huge network for domestic TV drama production. , its value cannot be overestimated—according to the way of thinking of a businessman, this series of combined punches is simply wonderful!

Therefore, after hearing Feng Yumin's set of suggestions, Li Qian was just a little stunned. After clarifying the relationship here, he couldn't help being moved by it in an instant—whether it was for the sake of this drama From the point of view, it is still out of consideration for his own year-end friendship. After reading the script, he can come up with such a method that not only gives him a hand, but also "guarantees the quality of this drama". Obviously, he also took great pains!

But it's a pity, Li Qian firmly believes that whoever does this drama is not as good as his own!
