City: Become a principal from junior college!

Chapter 282 Shock!Are you going to major in film and television?
When the other party speaks.

What he said was indeed what Ye Chen had guessed.

"Mr. Ye, whether it's animation or comics, the audience is ultimately not as good as live-action dramas."

“I am very impressed by the Sleeping Immortal series of works created by you.”

"I think such an excellent work deserves better commercial results and popularity."

"So on behalf of Yuewen Company, I hope to reach a deeper cooperation with you and jointly launch the TV series and live-action version of the Sleeping Immortal series."

"I believe that if we can reach cooperation, we will definitely make the Sleeping Immortal series even more popular."

President Yuewen said sincerely.

After Ye Chen listened politely, he smiled softly and shook his head: "We have no plans to launch a live-action version yet."

Hearing Ye Chen's rejection, President Yuewen was a little reluctant to give up.

After all, Yuewen's performance in the past two years is not very good.

The Sleeping Immortal series in front of him made him see the hope of a Chinese version of Marvel.

If you can participate.

Na Yuewen will completely follow this east wind and become a truly world-class entertainment giant.

Therefore, President Yuewen continued to speak without giving up: "Mr. Ye, we at Yuewen have a complete film and television production industry chain, and at the same time, backed by Xunteng, we have extremely strong publicity power."

"As long as we reach cooperation, we can get a lot of traffic support from the parent company."

"This will be of huge benefit to the promotion of Sleeping Immortal."

"Furthermore, Star Academy can fully participate in the entire film and television drama production process, and the financial aspects can be checked at any time."

"We at Yuewen are absolutely sincere in cooperating with you."

"All matters during the entire cooperation process will be discussed with Xingchen Company. Those sneaky methods in the film and television industry will never appear in our cooperation."

President Yuewen tried hard to persuade Ye Chen, his eyes full of sincerity.

Ye Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard what the other party said.

Ye Chen could tell that the other party really wanted to cooperate.

The proposed cooperation method is also very attractive.

Not to mention anything else, just the promotion of Xunteng is worth a lot of money.

After all, Xunteng's communication software really covers all citizens.

Don’t be too strong in your promotion capabilities.

As for what the other party said about honest cooperation and no tricks, Ye Chen roughly knew what he was talking about.

The water investment in film and television has always been deep.

Don’t have too many pig-killing plates among them.

Some investors are so happy when they see the box office success of the movies they invested in that they are ready to pay dividends and usher in financial freedom.

In the end, the film and television company announced that the film was losing money, and investors lost their money.

This is because film and television production companies outsource all post-production, dubbing, scenery, publicity, etc. to third-party companies at very high premiums early in the production process.

These third-party companies are actually holding subsidiaries of film and television companies.

The money is actually still in the hands of the film and television company, it has just been transferred around.

But in this case, the money has nothing to do with the movie itself.

Even if the movie's box office is doubled, it will still be a loss in the final reckoning.

But the film and television companies are actually making a lot of money.

This is why the publicity and distribution costs for many film projects can easily reach hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan.

It's just a matter of transferring funds. .

The other party can tell all this clearly and allow Star Academy to review and supervise the entire process.

It can be regarded as an expression of sincerity.

But Ye Chen still smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng..."

Under the regretful eyes of the other party, Ye Chen also opened his mouth to explain.

"Xingchen College will offer a film and television major next year."

"If nothing unexpected happens, a film and television company controlled by Xingchen Academy will be established by then to provide internship positions for students."

"And the real-life version of the Sleeping Immortal Project should also be brought out for students to practice."

"so……"

"It is indeed impossible to cooperate with your company for the time being."

When Ye Chen's voice fell.

President Yuewen's eyes widened.

Star College is going to open a film and television major?

As for the Sleeping Immortal project, will it be given to students for practice in the future?

These two pieces of news are more exciting than the other.

So far, Star Academy’s ability to cultivate talents in various fields is truly amazing.

The strength of Star Academy has been recognized by most people.

Now the film and television major is about to be opened.

President Yuewen will naturally not feel that the other party is overestimating his capabilities.

On the contrary, the president believes that the other party can cultivate a large number of high-quality film and television-related talents.

It's very possible that it's better than Beijing Film Academy.

As for the Sleeping Immortal project, although it only produced the finished product of the first episode and the script of the first season.

But the potential is already emerging.

In the future, it is very promising to rival the world’s top IPs like Marvel.

Such a big IP can be used for students to practice.

Only Xingchen Academy can have such courage.

If it were any other company, they would definitely treat copyright as a treasure.

However, with the strength of Star Academy, there is no need to worry about the quality of the film and television students it produces.

This is probably because Principal Xingchen is willing to leave the copyright to the students UN because

but no matter.

I must have no chance of meeting the Sleeping Immortal.

However, President Yuewen couldn't care less about the regret in his heart at the moment.

He asked extremely seriously: "Principal, I know that your school offers a film and television major."

"Are we going to train talents from all industries? Or are we only going to train behind-the-scenes talents? Will we train actors directly?"

Hearing this, Ye Chen didn't hide anything.

"The Xingchen Film and Television Major will cultivate talents from all industries and will also open actor classes."

"However, the number of students in each acting class will not be too many."

Ye Chen said slowly.

There won’t be many actor students.

Of course, not too little.

After all, unlike e-sports players, actors have more jobs.

Because in a drama, there are not only protagonists, but also various supporting roles.

And because now we have entered the era of entertainment.

The audience for film and television dramas is countless times higher than the audience for e-sports.

This market is extremely large.

Can accommodate large numbers of actors.

One line, two lines, three lines, too many to count.

As for the fact that there is no shortage of actors in China now?

There is no shortage of jokes.

There is currently a shortage of professional actors with excellent acting skills in China.

No matter how much we cultivate at home, the supply will definitely exceed the demand.

You can also squeeze out those traffic stars who are not good enough and rely solely on marketing, so as to save your eyes from being polluted.

After President Yuewen got the answer, he thanked Ye Chen seriously.

Then the two sides exchanged a few words about the adaptation of the online novel.

Wait for Ye Chen to leave.

President Yuewen frowned and stood there looking thoughtful.

This year, Yuewen Group plans to expand and has already planned to sign a large number of young actors.

At the same time, Xiao Zhan, the former leading male star, is also facing a public opinion crisis.

The company has been considering whether to protect the other party to death.

After all, it is not easy to cultivate such a famous male star. If you give up, it will be difficult to immediately introduce a replacement.

It has a huge impact on Yuewen’s stock price.

Previously, President Yuewen agreed to guarantee Xiao Zhan to death and signed a group of celebrities.

If we can promote a few more, we will make a lot of money.

But now, listening to Principal Ye's words, I learned that Xingchen College will open a film and television major.

He hesitated...

The teaching ability of Star Academy is obvious to all.

So even though the Xingchen Film and Television Major has not yet been officially opened.

But he has begun to worry about the impact that actors trained by Star Academy will have on the entire industry after entering the market.

If all students have strong professional abilities.

The original artists must have been greatly affected.Especially those young stars who have no acting skills will be the hardest hit.

Both net worth and commercial value will plummet.

After all, no matter how big the market is, it has its limits.

When more powerful opponents come in, your share of the cake will naturally become smaller.

It’s like the eSports world.

Many professional players who used to be able to earn a living by playing games have been forced to retire due to the entry of Xingchen students and their lack of living space.

And if we sign those male stars now.

Then there will definitely be blood loss.

Of course, in the film and television industry, it’s not just acting skills but professional abilities that will make you popular.

Opportunities are also needed.

Otherwise, male stars like Qin Hao and Zhang Songwen.

It’s not like he finally became popular at such an old age.

But this does not seem to be a problem for Star Academy.

Because when the time comes, Star Academy will not only train stars.

It will also cultivate talents for the entire film and television industry chain.

The meaning expressed by Xingchen Principal Ye Chen is also very obvious.

That is when the time comes, Star Academy will make its own movies and TV series.

Star Academy has the Sleeping Immortal, a big IP that has a high chance of becoming popular.

There is also the ability to continuously create IP.

It is definitely not too difficult to use your works to promote actors trained in your own academy.

and so.

President Yuewen made up his mind completely at this moment.

That is, from now on, our own company Yuewen will temporarily stop signing new artists.

Especially those young celebrities who only have a reliable face and no other talents, absolutely do not want it.

And if the contracts of old artists expire, only those actors who are popular with the audience, have their own style and are difficult to replace will be retained.

As for Xiao Zhan?

President Yuewen decided not to be insured.

After all, even if it costs a lot to keep it.

At that time, it may also be eliminated by Xingchen Academy and no one will care about it.

In this case, it is better not to protect it.

In short, President Yuewen’s courage is amazing.

If it were other film and television company giants, it would definitely not be just Ye Chen who said he wanted to open a new major.

Just make such a huge adaptation to the established development route of a listed company.

But President Yuewen did just that.

there are many reasons.

But the most important thing is the animation episode I just watched.

The quality is really too high.

The animation company of Star Academy can produce such excellent animation.

Let him believe that the Star Film and Television Company established by then will definitely be able to produce top-notch films and television.

President Yuewen decided that in the past two years, Yuewen Company would develop steadily and not make any big moves.

We will wait until Star Academy officially enters the venue to see what the situation is.

But when the Xingchen Film and Television Major opens, you can also contact the students of the Xingchen Film and Television Major in advance.

Wrap up a group of talents and absorb them into the company when the time comes.

……

Ye Chen didn't know his simple words.

It has had such a huge impact on domestic entertainment giants.

It made the other person think so much.

Of course, even if Ye Chen knew about it, he wouldn't care.

In the next few days, Xingchen Animation Company quickly reached intention cooperation agreements with various partner companies.

Because it's the first season.

And after all, it is a manga anime, not a live-action TV series.

Therefore, the rights to the first season of animation in various regions around the world were sold for 200 million yuan per episode.

Among them, China's Xunteng Company and Europe and America's Netflix Company have contributed the most money.

For Japan and South Korea, online streaming prices in the island countries are slightly higher.

South Korea is slightly lower.

The copyrights in Southeast Asia were also packaged away at cabbage prices.

Because the total revenue of an episode of 200 million is enough to ensure profitability.

Ye Chen's expectations for the first season are mainly to increase his popularity.

So I don’t care about too many gains and losses.

Pay more attention to the wide spread of communication.

Small markets like Southeast Asia don't offer much money, so Ye Chen doesn't pay much attention here.

The comics of Lu Dongbin Season [-] were also produced simultaneously.

The income from comics is much lower than that of animation.

Even the global distribution rights are sold.

The price of one episode is only 50.

But the comics team has relatively fewer staff.

So no problem.

Simultaneously.

Ye Chen's connections at CCTV actually showed his interest in Lu Dongbin.

However, Sleeping Immortal is not a children's animation, and the content is not suitable for children's animation.

Anime is played at other times, but it doesn’t seem serious enough.

And there’s no guarantee of ratings.

After all, compared to movies and TV series, the number of people watching anime is still relatively small.

Not to mention that most of the people who still watch TV today are middle-aged and elderly people.

Their acceptance of anime is indeed a bit low.

Therefore, in the end, no cooperation was reached with CCTV.

This actually made Ye Chen a little regretful.

CCTV’s status in the country is unusual.

If only Lu Dongbin could be like Kitten Porridge, he would be on the CCTV premiere.

The influence of the entire Sleeping Immortal series can be greatly increased.

It can only be said that it is a pity.

Maybe after the live-action version is filmed, it can be on the central stage.

But after thinking about it, Ye Chen still decided to forget it.

Given the strictness of CCTV's review, even if the live-action version of Sleeping Immortal can be released, it will be changed beyond recognition.

So it’s okay not to go up.

It might as well be an online drama.

However, after a few days, the approximate income of Sleeping Immortal has been almost determined.

Twelve episodes of the first season.

An animated episode costs 200 million, which is 400 million.

An episode of comics only has 50.

That's 600 million.

Total income is 3000 million.

Excluding the initial investment, the net income would be around 2000 million, which is pretty good.

And it’s just like kitten porridge.

This 3000 million is also not the entire income.

After all, as long as Lu Dongbin's work becomes popular, IP cooperation will definitely come to your doorstep.

Although Lu Dongbin’s IP income may not be as good as that of Mao Mao Porridge.

After all, kitten porridge is cuter and more popular with children and women.

But Lu Dongbin shouldn't be too bad either.

After all, he looks handsome and enjoys a lot of food now.

Anyway, as long as it is popular, there will definitely be a lot of derivative income.

But everything has to wait until the students finish the follow-up content.

Because there is no need to go to the central station, this cooperation does not need to be completed before going online.

You can update as you go.

But you have to have inventory, that is, create at least three episodes, before you can start updating the first episode.

In this case, even if something unexpected happens to the production team, there will still be inventory that can be updated.
