Chapter 63 0062: Only Bad Movies Need Divine Songs

Episode after episode, from morning to night.

Jiang Ge brought two bags of midnight snacks into the office. Seeing the two girls still staring at the laptop screen intently on the sofa, he had a headache. He had never thought that girls who followed the drama could be so crazy. They were even more serious than the radio and television auditors. He couldn't fast forward a second.

He took the midnight snacks out of the paper bag and put them on the coffee table one by one. Then he said, "You two, you just had breakfast. Aren't you still hungry at this time?"

Mo Lan rarely took her eyes away from the screen and found that the lights outside were bright. She was surprised and said, "Ah, is it already evening?"

Jiang Ge laughed dumbly, stuffed a string of barbecue into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Isn't it."

Hearing what the two said, Zhou Lingwei reluctantly looked away and sighed, "I don't feel that time is passing at all."

The reason is very simple.

After editing and post-production, the drama "Little Fish and Flower" is so good.

For girls, the source of happiness is to follow a drama they like, preferably one that is both sweet and cruel, crying like a dog in the last second and laughing like a fool in the next second.

Martial arts dramas were not their goal, but in recent years they have evolved into costume idol romance dramas. If there are stars they like, they can also watch them.

When they see a retro martial arts drama.

Yes, retro.

Few people will shoot this kind of martial arts drama, and there may not be one in a year or two.

Even after reading the script, they are still skeptical.

Words and pictures are two different things. Add to that the actors, costumes, props, camera switching, music and dubbing, etc., and the final TV series is very different. After all, words leave room for imagination, while pictures lock imagination.

However.

After watching the first four episodes, I was deeply attracted by the drama "Little Fish and Flower Wuque".

Hua Wuque, played by Shi Lei, is a gentleman, gentle as jade, handsome, and affectionate without regrets.

Xiaoyuer, played by Shen Yang, is smart, cool and optimistic, tough on the outside but soft on the inside, brave and proud.

The action of the whole play is cool and neat, and the martial arts moves are magical and sharp. They complement the plot and are independent. In addition, the dual-line setting makes the rhythm tight, and the interruption of Jiang Yuyan's joining, reversal, conspiracy, and conspiracy are all out, and the climax is one after another, which is fascinating.

It has been a long time since there has been a play like this. I can't watch enough and don't want to fast forward.

"Ah..." Zhou Lingwei pursed her lips and said in a delicate voice: "I've only watched more than half of it. Can you give me a copy to watch at home?"

Mo Lan blinked at him, indicating that she meant the same thing.

Jiang Ge shook his finger and refused sternly: "No, if the whole film is leaked, you know the consequences without me saying it. Letting you watch it is already an exception."

He did this with a little thought, letting the two taste it in advance, so that Mo Lan can promote it to the five major video platforms, and Zhou Lingwei can recommend it to her superiors.

If the drama "Little Fish and Flower" fails, Huafeng Media will fall into a greater crisis, and he and his parents will most likely be included in the list of dishonest persons subject to enforcement.

Zhou Lingwei calmed down and switched to work mode, saying: "I think it is no problem for this drama to be rated as an S-level drama, and it is no problem to be broadcast in the summer and prime time, but the station has just issued some policies, [S-level + first round exclusive broadcast] Whether it is a station with one network or a station with multiple networks, the online broadcast time must be after midnight the next day."

"Little Fish and Flower" is definitely acceptable in the current environment where everyone is competing for traffic, and it can even be said to be excellent.

But the TV station has its own policies. In order to ensure the ratings of the replay, it can only limit the broadcast time on the video platform. Of course, this must be discussed in advance when signing the contract with the copyright owner.

And this will affect the price sold to the video platform.

Jiang Ge said without hesitation, "No problem."

There are about 50% more people watching TV on Blue Star than on Earth, including those who watch TV on the Internet. For this reason alone, it is worth considering TV stations first and video platforms second.

After reaching an agreement on this issue, Zhou Lingwei asked, "I saw the subtitles at the end. The theme song and the ending song were not written by you, nor were they sung by Huafeng artists."

Mo Lan was about to ask this.

Jiang Ge nodded and said, "They sound pretty good, right? I bought these two songs."

He spent nearly 5,000 yuan and picked them on the song sales website.

The script of "Little Fish and Flower" alone has cost 30,000 [Superstar Value]. I can't invest more [Superstar Value] in it. If I can't make it back, it will be a big loss.

As for the current situation, [Superstar Value] must be spent on the cutting edge, because there are still three orders left over from before that have not been processed.

Zhou Lingwei didn't think the two songs were that good, they were just average, and said, "I think using your songs can add points to the show, and the ratings and playback volume will be higher."

She was referring to the animation "Guardian of Light", which became the most popular domestic animation last year with the blessing of the two songs "Miracle Reappearance" and "Forever Light".

Mo Lan agreed with her idea and said, "If the drama "Little Fish and Flower" has your two songs as the theme song and ending song, I believe it will be more than just a simple effect of icing on the cake."

Jiang Ge wanted to, but he really couldn't do it at the moment, so he made up a lame excuse: "Bad movies rely on divine songs to make their presence felt, we don't need to do these empty things."

Zhou Lingwei: "..."

Mo Lan: "..."

Okay.

Seeing his indifferent look and his resolute attitude, this matter can't be forced.

In the end, Mo Lan and Zhou Lingwei didn't get to see the finale of the drama "Little Fish and Flowerless", and left with regret and expectation.

——————

In the following days, three things were done at the same time.

1. Negotiate the price with Dragon TV.

2. Sell the drama on the five major video platforms.

3. Submit it to the relevant departments for review.

Do your best and leave it to fate. The result will come out at the end of this month at the earliest and at the beginning of the next month at the latest.

Jiang Ge's chairman's life returned to normal.

"Mr. Jiang, this is the company's financial statement..."

"Personnel changes..."

"Plan for the second half of the year..."

...

Hu Xiao put a bunch of folders on the work.

Jiang Ge was a little overwhelmed. When the funds were turned around, he must hire a professional manager.

Because many of the company's investment projects were losing money, the copyrights of those profitable TV dramas and songs were either sold at a low price or mortgaged, and this income was reduced by 95%.

The only income points are "Those Flowers" and other five songs and the notices that Lin Yu and Qin Shiyue received after they became popular.

It's not much money, but it relieves the debt pressure.

"Brother, I'm nice enough."

There are not many people who can devote themselves to the problems left by the original owner of the body to this extent after traveling through time.

Jiang Ge put down the folder and began to think about one thing, the future direction of the company.

He didn't want to go down the old man's path of diversified investment + artist management. The door to investment is not completely closed, but it needs to be cautious. As for artist management, it is not a good way to operate by squeezing artists to gain profits.

The relic is to win people's hearts. To do a good business, the most important thing is not to accumulate money, but to accumulate people's hearts.

"My advantage is that I have earth resources."

That's right, the full copyright is in my hands.

Jiang Ge pondered carefully.

It seems.

Taking the path of IP incubation is a good choice.

It is more difficult to produce derivative products from songs, but it is relatively easier for film and television dramas.

For example, movies and TV series can be derived from each other, and they can also be two-dimensional, game-like, and peripheralized, etc.

The general direction is determined, and then we move towards this goal step by step and finally achieve it.

I worked hard all morning and finished half of the company's work. In the afternoon, I started to work on the other half, which is the three remaining orders.

[Company To-Do List:

4. 2022 China World Cup Chinese Men's Football Song, 133 days left.

5. Co-shoot a police drama with iQiyi, 175 days left.

6. The theme song of the movie "Dragon City Flying General", 235 days left. ]

Every time I see the 4th, I always feel like I'm dreaming, and then I think again, in a parallel world, many things are the same, and many things are different. Maybe the Chinese men's football team on Blue Star is very strong.

In fact, this list does not need to be included in the company's to-do list, because it is an open solicitation, no contract is signed, and there is no such thing as compensation for breach of contract. The reason why it is included is mainly based on its popularity. If it can be selected, it will not be a world-class spread, but at least a national spread, which can increase the popularity and fame of the singer, and relatively speaking, it can also get a good [superstar value].

Jiang Ge thinks that you can exchange a song to give it a try, and 121 days is still plenty of time, so just take your time.

As for the 5th and 6th, don't rush, wait until the drama "Little Fish and Flower" is broadcast, and then consider it after harvesting a wave of [superstar value].

Which song do you want to give to the men's football team?

"Proud Boy"?

"Fly Higher"?

"Beyond Dreams"?

"Boundless Oceans and Skies"?

"I Believe"?
