China entertainment started from 07 fast boys

Chapter 317 The Calm Before the Storm

On February 17th, "囧囧" was released with a box office of 13 billion.

This box office is a shocking box office for the entire Chinese-language film.

At this time, Xu Yang was relieved. Xu Yang was not sure how much the box office would be until the last moment.

Fortunately, the final box office was not much different from what he remembered.

And he can also get a net profit of 13 million out of the 5000 billion box office.

Just after the Lantern Festival, Xu Yang left home and returned to work.

"So you really want to do this show?"

In the office, Cai Yinong was a little surprised, even a little unbelievable.

Faced with Cai Yinong's surprise, Xu Yang seemed much calmer.

"Of course, this will happen more and more in the future. If we want to remain competitive, we have to be ahead of the curve."

Cai Yinong nodded at this, but she still didn't quite agree with the suggestion Xu Yang just made.

"Even so, you shouldn't gamble too much."

"By buying the copyright of Qin Shi Mingyue, we can play a big game."

Xu Yang looked serious, and due to two optimistic sales last year, Cai Yinong had to seriously consider Xu Yang's suggestions.

Moreover, even if she wanted to stop it, she should be powerless at the moment.

"Okay, let's buy the copyright of Qin Shi Mingyue first."

In this way, Cai Yinong agreed with Xu Yang's idea and was ready to implement it.

After hearing Cai Yinong's confirmation, Xu Yang was relieved.

Last year, we overfulfilled the task. It is not too difficult to do it again this year.

Fortunately, Xu Yang is a cheater, and what cheaters are best at is taking advantage of every opportunity.

Xu Yang and Cai Yinong are both do-it-yourself characters. After deciding to purchase the copyright of "Qin Shi Mingyue", Tang Ren directly contacted the official of "Qin Shi Mingyue".

The latter is also very interested in the adaptation of Tang Dynasty. After all, the name of Tang Dynasty is here.

With both parties interested, things progressed smoothly. At the end of February, Tangren obtained the copyright of "Qin Shi Mingyue" for a large sum of money.

Originally, there was no need to pay the copyright fee of more than 1000 million yuan, but under Xu Yang's strong intervention, the Tang people directly obtained the copyright of "Qin Shi Mingyue".

It's not the right to adapt, but real control, and of course it's less than [-]% control.

After paying such a high price, Xu Yang naturally cannot be satisfied with the adaptation of a TV series. He wants TV, animation, and movies.

Then it extends to a number of peripheral copyrights, which is also the bulk of the economic source.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xu Yang hopes that he can restrict the producers of "Qin Shi Mingyue".

In the original timeline, the production of "Qin Shi Mingyue" was simply difficult to describe.

Especially after the fourth part, it almost became a farmhouse, completely lacking the artistic conception of the first and second parts.

Moreover, in the original timeline, it was also the Tang people who got the right to adapt "Qin Shi Mingyue".

But at that time, the Tang Dynasty was already unable to protect itself, and it was impossible to produce good works.

The adaptation was also changed in a way that is difficult to describe in a single word, and the casting was also chosen in a way that is difficult to describe in a single word. In short, it is difficult to describe in a single word.

But now, Xu Yang feels that the series "Qin Shi Mingyue" can still be saved.

You can't just watch "Qin Shi Mingyue" survive longer than the Qin Dynasty, right?
Moreover, Xu Yang's adaptation of "Qin Shi Mingyue" is expected to take three cycles, at least ten years, so the performance of the animated version of "Qin Shi Mingyue" in these ten years will also affect Tang Dynasty's adaptation of him.

All in all, Xu Yang's purchase of the copyright of "Qin Shi Mingyue" is a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, and it means that there will be something to do this year.

As for the company's funding, it's not a problem at all.

Last year, with the help of Xu Yang, Tang Ren sold a round of broadcasting rights for "Shanshan Is Coming" and "Whirlwind Girl" at half the price of the small target.

So there is really no shortage of funds at present, and there are still tens of millions of funds on hand lying on the company's books.

Moreover, there is currently one "Gu Jian Qi Tan" that has not been sold, and Xu Yang's price expectation for this drama is at least half a small target.

Therefore, for the time being, as long as the pit dug by the new drama is not too big, there will be absolutely no problem with funding.

Besides, if the first round performs well, Xu Yang is very confident that he can sell it at a good price on several video platforms.

At the end of February, Xu Yang was already discussing arrangements with Cai Yinong for this year.

The first is "Qin Shi Mingyue". If you spend a lot of money to buy it, you must make some achievements.

Then there is no more.

Because none of the new dramas filmed last year have been aired yet, Cai Yinong doesn't know the quality or reputation.

No matter how big the cake Xu Yang gave her, she would not be able to do the stupid thing of starting a new drama before the results of the old one came out.

So Xu Yang, Cai Yinong and even everyone in the Tang Dynasty are waiting to see how the drama filmed last year will turn out.

In mid-March, the results will be announced.

However, during this period of time, the dead girl can be said to be very proud, because although his remake of the drama "The Swordsman" has poor reputation, the results are really good.

The ratings and discussion level have always been above the first-tier level.

This further confirms the rumor that "a product produced by a dead girl must be a high-quality product."

Of course, this is not the only thing that makes him happy. What makes him happiest is that he knows that Tang Dynasty's new drama will take over his drama in mid-March.

And in May, his drama will continue to take over from Tang Dynasty's new drama.

So from a chronological point of view, it was he who was besieging the Tang people, in the same manner as the six major sects besieging Guangmingding, and driving them to death.

And this is exactly what the dead girl did. First, she made a lot of nonsense in public, and took the Tang people to criticize her.

I don’t understand what it means to film a costume drama. How dare you film a modern drama without fear of falling to your death in the end?
This made Cai Yinong so angry that he really wanted to scold the dead girl again on Dayanbo.

Fortunately, Xu Yang stopped him. After all, scolding at this time was just to increase the heat for the dead girl.

The purpose of Dead Girl is to increase the popularity of his new drama, and he is a brand in his own right.

This made Xu Yang a little helpless, because the initiative was no longer in their hands after the dead girl opened her mouth.

At present, it seems that the initiative is in their hands if they don't respond, but you have to wait and see the damn girl's turn.

Damn this girl. You can say that she has character problems, but you can never say that she has no ability.

Especially when it comes to marketing, his skills are simply outstanding.

The current situation is that Tangren's new drama is sandwiched between two new dramas by Dead Girl.

Therefore, no matter whether the Tang Dynasty responds or not, the dead girl will definitely not lose anything. If she responds, she will gain blood, but if she does not, she will not lose anything.

If he responded, he would have to decide the outcome with the dead girl, but this would play into the dead girl's plan.

So this time, the dead girl will not lose anything.

But the Tang people really couldn't respond.

The reason is that "Shanshan Is Coming" will be broadcast in mid-to-late March, and Tang people also need popularity.

Even if Xu Yang believes in this drama again, he will not be arrogant enough to let this drama fall into a "lonely struggle" situation, and he will still give him the help that should be given.

So Cai Yinong gave a brief response after the dead girl provoked her for the second time.

"Wait and see."

Cai Yinong responded like this, and the picture was a still from "Shanshan Is Coming".

As the CEO of Tangren, Cai Yinong is definitely qualified to respond on behalf of Tangren.

And her response made the melon-eaters who were not too concerned about the excitement even more excited.

Because the story of the Tang Dynasty's encounter with the dead girl the year before last and the enmity that followed has been ruined by a group of people who want to take advantage of it.

This is something that people who eat melons must review when recalling major events in the Chinese entertainment industry.

But what made them exclaim was that after the head-to-head confrontation the year before last, the two families never met head-on again.

Although there were new dramas released last year, because the release times were different and the gap was too big, it was difficult to talk about them.

But this year is different. The dead girl currently has a TV series with high ratings to protect her, so she has the courage to make such a noise.

And it is visually estimated that the quality of another new drama that has been produced will not be much worse. After all, the male protagonists are all beings who can make Tangrenhua poach people at a high price.

Speaking of this, the people who eat melons are even happier. The male protagonist of the Dead Girl TV series is an artist from the Tang Dynasty. What kind of love and hatred is this?

Therefore, there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two families from the beginning, and they could only live and die together.

But when the melon-eating crowd was gearing up, staring wide-eyed, and preparing to eat melon, the Tang people suddenly turned off the flames, which they couldn't accept.

"What are you doing? The formations have been set up. Why are you making trouble here?"

Of course the Tang people were not making trouble, but were making a strategic retreat.

After all, just announcing your attitude is enough. Your new drama has not been aired, so why bother?
After a while, the crowd dispersed after seeing that the Tang people completely ignored them.

As for the dead girl, she just gave up as soon as she was good, flirted with the Tang people, and then continued to output after their new drama was aired.

Until now, the dead girl still thinks that the urban dramas produced by the Tang Dynasty are no different from the anti-Japanese dramas.

No longer paying attention to the dead girl, Xu Yang also encountered a more difficult problem.

After "囧" was released and became a huge success, Xu Yang Company and Tang Ren Company were filled with various movie scripts overnight.

These are all scripts cast with expectation and luck, trying to attract Xu Yang's attention.

But they thought about one thing wrongly. It was not which script Xu Yang invested in and which one was successful when it was filmed, but which one he invested in after it was successful.

Therefore, Xu Yang would not invest at all without seeing those familiar scripts.

But after all, you have invested so much, even if you use a broken net to catch fish, you can still catch a few, right?

To be honest, there were a few projects that made Xu Yang tempted.

But in the end, Xu Yang chose a movie that was popular among major entertainment companies, "Xiu Chun Dao".

Lu Yang, the director of "Xiu Chun Knife", was born in Beijing Film Academy, and Xu Yang graduated from his school.

The two made an appointment to meet in a club in Beijing. Lu Yang only brought the script, while Xu Yang brought Liu Shishi with him.

"You have to take me with you when you meet the director?"

Liu Shishi said he was disgusted, but he was still very happy in his heart. After all, who would refuse to be with the person he likes?

Being tough-talking is just part of her personality, and she is just like this because she is used to it.

Xu Yang could tell Liu Shishi's thoughts at a glance, so he pinched her face in a funny way.

Well, not to mention, it feels really good.

"Behave better when I see the director later. The opportunity I said will come."

Seeing Xu Yang being so serious, Liu Shishi also looked serious.

"Is this what it is?"

Xu Yang nodded seriously and said, "It's him."

"He is my senior brother, and he also wants me to invest. The most important thing is that this is a martial arts action movie, which is very suitable for you."

Hearing this, Liu Shishi also nodded, and then his eyes burst out with strong confidence.

"Okay, let's see how you take him down later."

Xu Yang smiled, thinking that he really thought highly of himself.

At this time, Lu Yang also opened the door and arrived.

"Sorry, I'm a little late because of the traffic jam."

Lu Yang was apologizing to the two people as soon as he entered the door. Seeing this, Xu Yang also said hurriedly: "It's okay, it's easy to get stuck in traffic at this time."

Lu Yang even let out a sigh of relief after Xu Yang showed no signs of anger.

After all, he came here to beg someone else this time, and they are the boss.

The three of them briefly introduced each other, and after chatting for a while, Lu Yang began to talk endlessly about the idea of ​​"Xiu Chun Dao".

While Xu Yang and Liu Shishi were reading the script and listening to what Lu Yang said, they already had a rough idea in their minds.

"The box office of this movie will definitely not be low. There have been no such martial arts movies in recent years, but after all, the foundation of previous years is still there, and the market is still there."

"And now the environment is much better, and the box office has been directly raised to one billion. This is something that was unimaginable five years ago."

Lu Yang looked at Xu Yang's face and saw that his expression did not change due to what he said. Lu Yang was already a little anxious.

And while Lu Yang was anxious, Xu Yang was also thinking about how much to invest.

It must be an investment, and it makes no sense for him and Liu Shishi not to invest if they want to join the crew at the same time.

But if you invest too little, you will definitely be on the street, but if you invest too much, Xu Yang feels that you will definitely not be able to get back your money.

So, how much to invest is a question.

"Senior brother, do you have any expectations in mind?"

Hearing this, Lu Yang was immediately overjoyed and said immediately: "3000 million, no, just 500 million."

"Twenty-five million?" Xu Yang said in surprise.

Lu Yang reluctantly nodded.

"I invested 5000 million, 4000 million in filming funds, and 1000 million in publicity funds."

Hearing this, Lu Yang was immediately stunned, not knowing how to react.

"But I have one condition."

Lu Yang held the chair with trembling hands and said, "You...you say it."

"Is it okay for Shi Shi and I to win the male and female titles respectively?"

"Aha!?"

Lu Yang's heart trembled, it's over, why is this a request?

What the director is most afraid of is, of course, investor Sai Ren.

In such a situation, even if the national teacher comes, let alone a young director like Lu Yang.

Especially when the person ranked by investors is still yourself.
