Chapter 163 Since You Are Mine, Let’s Face It Head-On (Please Subscribe)
The box office popularity of the Lunar New Year stalls is gradually dying down.
However, the classic clip of Charlotte's troubles is still widely circulated on the Internet.
And several songs in it also became popular all over the country.
Su Mu’s Weibo and funny comments are driven crazy by fans x-on:AITE almost every day.
Ask him to release those recorded singles.
He does have a demo he had previously recorded with Liu Yadong, but he has not released it as a single for the time being.
Because Liu Yadong had told him a long time ago that it would be best to make it a copyright-free download, so that he could eat it for a long time.
Of course, the income from songs is naturally not as fast as the money from movies and TV series.
But since there is, I will definitely do it by the way.
So Su Mu signed a few songs to Yadong Records.
Let them run it.
…
Inside the studio.
Su Mu called a meeting with all employees.
Nowadays, the number of departments is gradually increasing, and the structure is gradually taking shape, so things will become more numerous.
Zhang Huaan: "Our current competitor is actually Tianxing Media's 0102 boy group. Because they are similar in type, and Qin Yufang often plays tricks, we have no announcements or suitable movies and TV series at the moment. There were several before. resources, but in the end they were all squeezed out.”
Qian Jida: "It seems like we can only wait now."
Su Mu: "Mr. Zhang, I heard you say before that you were originally going to take on a satellite TV drama, but then they snatched it away?"
Zhang Huaan nodded: "Galaxy TV's new drama is about urban love and belongs to the category of idol dramas. At first, I thought I could get a few roles for them to appear. But it turned out that Qin Yufang knew the corporate department there, and in the end we also Did not go."
Su Mu: "When will they broadcast it?"
Zhang Huaan: "At the end of the year."
Su Mu nodded, then turned to look at Xu Jiang: "Director Xu, what did you say?"
Xu Jiang took the notebook and then spoke: "The preparatory plan is almost completed. Many businesses in the film and television department can be outsourced. As long as the channels are well connected, a team can be established and filming will begin soon.
I did a rough calculation on the budget. From scratch to the end of the production of the TV series Meteor Shower, it may cost at least 20 million to start, maybe 30 million. "
Zhang Huaan calculated the overall price.
Including the purchase of related equipment and crew members, etc.
And if you shoot later, in addition to NNQT, you will also need to find actors to pay for the film, and these must be included in the budget.
So what Xu Jiang gave was quite conservative.
Qian Jida: "Currently, the company's accounts include almost 200 million in cash including the first 70 million in remuneration. The subsequent 160 million in box office share may come in the second half of the year. This is the amount that is not calculated for the time being."
Su Mu nodded after hearing this.
With 200 million, there is no pressure to make a TV series.
Moreover, after the video platforms of the three giants purchased the broadcasting rights, plus advertising fees and some investors, they basically made their money back.
Su Mu: "Director Xu, first give me 30 million yuan to set up the structure as soon as possible, and then we'll be ready to start filming.
If the fee is not enough, just tell me. What I mean is, try to broadcast it at the same time as Zero 102. "
After Su Mu finished speaking.
Several people present were silent.
His meaning is so obvious that everyone can basically guess it.
Since it is said that it wants to be at the same time as the Zero 102 boy group, then it is obviously that it wants to compete with them in the idol drama market.
But Xu Jiang and Zhang Huaan looked at each other, both a little worried.
Xu Jiang's concern is not about the organization and funding.
Now that Su Mu has opened his mouth to approve the payment, he naturally doesn't have to worry about money issues, and there are 200 million in cash lying on the studio's account, which is quite stable.
What really made him feel a little unconfident was that the time given by Su Mu for the drama "Meteor Shower" was somewhat too fast.
Now that he is the bare-bones commander, it may take four or five months to find channels, people, outsourcers, actors, etc.
Moreover, he has not yet studied the control of this subject type and the market.
He felt that his previous understanding of the script was not enough.
I thought I would start filming next year.
If I don't handle this first drama well, it won't be as simple as being embarrassed.
But before Xu Jiang could speak.
Zhang Huaan on the side spoke: "Actually, in the past few years that NNQT has been in my hands, there has really been no progress in terms of acting. The "Four Talents" they filmed two years ago were crushed by you. At that time, I knew, They may not have the chance to join the film and television industry.
So I'm worried about whether the four of them can perform well in this drama. If it's because of their acting skills, it's not worth the loss. It's better to let the four of them practice well first. "
Su Mu smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessary. Since you are already an artist in my studio, you can't be stepped on by other boy bands.
And if the four of them want to make a comeback, they must have a group like them to compare with, and Zero One Zero Two is just the stepping stone.
They stepped on you before, but this time they stepped back on you. "
Zhang Huaan was a little skeptical.
He didn't understand why Su Mu could be so confident. He must be able to make those four fools popular because of a drama.
He had put in a lot of effort before, but couldn't make any improvement.
And just relying on the idol drama in front of you is enough?
Zhang Huaan was a little bit unbelievable.
But no matter what, it is very good to have a drama to shoot this year.
This is a TV series invested by the studio itself, which is a voluntary contribution to them.
At least it fulfilled the promise and gave them the opportunity to appear in the public eye.
As for whether it can be popular, it depends on luck.
…
…
…
At the end of April.
The Chinese Ministry of Culture officially held a film and television communication guidance conference.
This is different from those award ceremony events.
This kind of Ministry of Culture meeting has a higher level of significance for the film and television industry.
To a certain extent.
This meeting determines the direction and approval standards of subsequent Chinese film and television, and of course includes the support and development direction of the Chinese film industry.
Huayi Film, Beijing Film Investment, Outlet Cinema, Kiwi, Oil Depot, Penguin... etc., all companies and enterprises with sufficient weight in the Chinese film and television industry participated.
In addition, some big-name directors and actors who are very influential in the circle also attended this conference.
The conference began.
It took more than three hours to end.
Everyone walked out of the hall.
Several directors walked side by side and then had a private conversation.
Zhang Huaimou: "It seems that in the next few years, the Chinese Ministry of Culture will focus on the film and television industry. I don't know how big the changes will be."
Dong Xuefei shook his head: "It depends on the implementation, but I feel that it should keep pace with the times, at least there will be higher standards for content requirements."
Chen Anzhi: "In fact, when we asked you to shoot the theme of national heroes last year, there was a little such intention. The current influence of the film and television industry is too great, and we must definitely promote the follow-up things from the positive main theme."
Gu An: "In recent years, we have shot a lot of big and small ones, but in fact, the impact is very small."
Several people walked and talked.
And just when they were leaving the hall.
Suddenly a voice came.
"Directors, please stay."
Several people looked back and saw that it was the leader of the Chinese Ministry of Culture, Xu Jianzheng.
Then several people hurried forward to shake hands.
Xu Jianzheng, who is already middle-aged, smiled and said: "Long time no see, directors, I have seen your works in recent years, and they are very good, so I have wanted to chat with you for a long time. Why not take this opportunity to go to my office together..."
