This entertainment industry is a bit strange

Chapter 272 Route Choice
The three movies were huge hits, making Xingqing Culture a cash cow in the eyes of investors, and almost every move of the company was closely watched by investors in the circle.

As soon as the news of the establishment of the "Undocumented Crime" project spread, it immediately caused quite a stir.

Because that issue of "Happy Camp" was canceled, the big guys didn't even know that Yang Rui was going to make a TV series. Now that the news spread, it immediately caused a lot of discussion.

Although movies and TV are the same family, there is still a difference after all. Those who can make good movies may not necessarily be able to play TV dramas. It is not uncommon for a big movie director to overturn the tragedy of TV dramas before!

Besides...Xing Qing's new TV series only has 12 episodes? !

Are you kidding me, I'm ashamed to call myself a series without fifty or sixty episodes these days?

And it's still a criminal investigation suspense class?
Please, just look at the straight male thinking that doesn't understand the TV drama market. Now that all men go to play games, who still watches TV dramas?

Almost all of them are women who can stick to TV and computer dramas. People love to watch sweet industrial saccharine dramas and gossip family ethics dramas.

If it can be mixed with elements of "independent women" and "progressive thinking in the new era", then it will definitely be a hit.

Criminal investigation suspense drama?
Who wants to see it?

All of a sudden, many investors began to hesitate.

However, there are also quite a few local tyrants with a long-term vision, almost without thinking, they came to the door with a check and asked for investment to participate in a share.

They don't care if the show makes money or not, as long as they can get online and register with Xingqing, will they not give priority to it when they start movies in the future?

It's not a loss to buy a few million admission qualifications!

In just two days, the company has received more than 5000 million investment intentions, not including Xingqing's own investment share...

This amount has far exceeded the normal budget required by the crew.

When the news spread, countless directors were so angry that they wanted to curse.

If they want to raise some investment to film a drama, they are really begging their grandpa to sue their grandma for all kinds of grievances. It is no different from begging for food.

Let's look at Yang Rui again, a short drama with an unknown future can actually get an investment of half a billion yuan every minute, and it's all investors who take the initiative to send it to the door...

People are more mad than people!

But having more money is not always a good thing.

"How do you plan to divide this investment share?" Ding Lan said with a bit of a headache, "How about...accepting all of them, giving the actors more pay, and by the way, more marketing budget?"

After careful consideration, Yang Rui finally shook his head, "No, just follow the original plan, and don't increase unnecessary expenses."

"As the cost goes up, the final profit ratio will be ugly, and it will affect our golden brand. In the long run, the gain outweighs the loss."

"Besides... most of the leading actors in this drama are raw melon eggs. It is definitely not appropriate to pay them hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars."

Ding Lan agreed with this statement, but how to allocate this share and how to reject the "fist and hospitality" of some investors was enough to give her a headache for a long time.

"Also, have you considered which channel this show will mainly use in the future?" Ding Lan asked: "Because of the conflict in "Those Years" sharing the cake, our relationship with those leading streaming media sites is not very good. .”

"But if you want to go to a traditional TV station or even become a star, it may be very difficult. The 12-episode drama is really too short. The procurement department probably gave it a PASS once they heard the number."

Yang Rui was silent for a while.

He has already considered this matter many times. The simplest and most direct way is to try to repair the relationship with those streaming media platforms, and then sell it on the shelves for money. Hello, everyone...

But this is obviously unrealistic. How greedy those capitals are has been revealed in the last "Those Years" incident.

What they want is for creators who eat meat on the platform to drink soup!
Wanting to share meat with them is probably just wishful thinking.

Moreover, these companies all have self-produced drama departments, and they have their own sons there. If you think about it with your toes, you will know what treatment will be given to other dramas.

No way.

After much deliberation these days, there are only two possible paths. The first path is to win over a video website that does not have a self-produced drama department. Everyone can support each other with what they need. If the cooperation is sincere, results can be achieved.

If you go this way, station A will be a good choice.

This two-dimensional website is seeking to diversify its content in order to complete the realization of traffic. In the past two years, they have spent crazy money buying copyrights of old movies and old dramas. piece of cake.

At this time, if there is a strong content provider to join in the cooperation, it will definitely be a wonderful thing for Station A.

For Xingqing Culture, it is also stable and not losing money. The traffic of station A is large enough, and there is no son to seize the stage. It is a good platform.

But the shortcoming is also fatal - after all, it is someone else's platform. If it becomes bigger and starts to raise a son in the future, then Xingqing Culture will be very embarrassed.

The second way is a bit more extreme-directly own the entire video platform!
If you choose this path, it is undoubtedly a big gamble.

The investment is high, the risk is high, and it will inevitably face the dilemma of scarce resources in the early stage. In addition, it will inevitably face the joint suppression of the top companies...

Don't look at the Yusan family who usually beats you to death, but when it comes to suppressing and culling the fourth child, the Yusan family's position has always been very unified!
Tremendous stress!

But once you survive the pressure, the benefits are obvious. The most direct one is - you don't need to pay tolls, pay the taxes in full, and the rest is to close the door yourself!
Moreover, the operation of the platform can act according to one's own wishes, without depending on the face of the platform...

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, it is difficult to choose for a while.

"I still need to think about this issue, and I still can't make up my mind." Yang Rui wondered.

"Okay, then think about it slowly, let's gather up the crew first." Ding Lan said with a smile: "This is our company's first drama, don't overturn it."

Yang Rui chuckled.

Overturned?

nonexistent!

Although this drama does have many flaws, but in these low-quality online dramas with stinky fish and rotten shrimps, it is already like a king bomb!
When I have free time later, I will also make another "White Night Chase" by Wang Zhili, and give those stinky fish and rotten shrimp a little bit of a shocking web drama!

"You really need to take care of the crew, but..." Ding Lan said seriously: "You also have to pay attention to the priority of things. The Spring Festival Gala show can't be delayed any longer."

Yang Rui was about to explain his plan and progress when the cell phone in his pocket rang suddenly.

Caller ID: Zhang Yimou.

"Boy, where are you?" Old Zhang's voice was quite loud, "I brought him to you personally, come out and see him?"
