After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 192 IP Development

Li Mingyang walked along the corridor to the end, then turned right and came to an open double door.

The general manager's office and the finance office are connected.

Li Mingyang opened the door of the general manager's office, took off his coat and sunglasses.

Then he sat in the boss chair, thought for a while, and called Li Ming in.

"sit."

"I'll just stand."

"Show me the company's financial statements for the most recent month."

The finance office is just outside... and you asked me to take the elevator.

"Yeah." Li Ming smiled and nodded, but didn't leave.

"Anything else?"

"A lot of people have been looking for you recently..."

"Those who didn't call me are not important. Those who called me and I didn't want to answer are not important either. So I don't want to see any of those who came to the company to look for me." Li Mingyang raised his eyes and glanced at Li Ming, "Understand?"

"I understand...but...is Cai Yinong important? She came to ask you when you would be back yesterday."

Li Mingyang raised his eyebrows and took out his cell phone. Cai Yinong had never called him!
"Let's talk about it when she comes. By the way, call Xiaoyu to come. Your brain is not working well and it's too hard for you to talk."

Growing up, no one ever said I was stupid...

Li Ming was hit again, but he could only keep it in his heart and dared not say it out loud.

After a while, Li Ming brought all the financial statements for the past month from the finance department.

Li Mingyang flipped through it for a while and found that the recent performance was not very good. Among more than 60 micro-films, not a single one made more than one thousand yuan in revenue.

Youku will change its click-through rate algorithm to effective clicks only after it goes public.

In other words, this is the fault of the people, not Youku.

Li Mingyang took out his cell phone and called Li Ming, "Li Ming, come back for a moment!"

Li Ming, who had just walked to the elevator, received a call from Li Mingyang, and hurriedly ran back in her high heels. Then she sprained her ankle on the way and could only limp back holding her high heels.

"I'm speechless. You can sprain your ankle just by walking..."

"..."

I am even more speechless!
"Go to the company and inform everyone that there will be a meeting in the banquet hall on the sixth floor at 6pm."

"Ok."

Li Ming limped away, and Li Mingyang leaned back, slowly pushing the backrest down.

In fact, micro-movies are the prototype of short plays.

However, the current market's acceptance of micro-films is not ideal.

Using the short play approach of the previous life brought too little profit.

There is absolutely no comparison.

It’s a market issue…

The advertising revenue from Running Man between Mango TV and iQiyi will be transferred next week. The company will need to pay 25% corporate income tax on its income, and after deducting the tax, there will still be more than million yuan left.

In addition, there was more than 5 million yuan in box office share from "Bouquet of Flowers". Since there was no time to make special effects, the money was kept. Later, a part of it was used to buy a villa in Lanhua Yu'an.

In addition, the brokerage contracts of Tan Songyun and Yang Mi show that female celebrities have a strong ability to make money.
Especially Yang Mi, she is a real money printing machine.

It is conservatively estimated that the two women will get a share of around 40 million this year.

After going through the initial pain of starting a business, he gave up the dream of using Alibaba’s money and maintaining Youku shares.

Mingyang Entertainment is not short of money now...

Without financial worries, Li Mingyang felt all the stress gone and felt extremely comfortable.

At present, Mingyang Entertainment has no shortage of money or resources.

What he lacks is talent and a team that can help him consolidate his capital position!

It’s not easy for a film and television company to support employees.

If there is a movie to be filmed, I can use the money earned from the crew to support the people in the company.

If there are no movies to shoot, then the labor costs will be a huge expense.

Almost all film and television companies have a common problem.

That is because there are too many people behind the scenes. Once the company has no movies to shoot for a long time, many people will have no food to eat.

And all these behind the scenes are with the director.

Without the director’s order, the company can’t open and I can’t leave behind the scenes.

As for the director leading the team to change jobs, it is difficult... On the one hand, the big director is a shareholder of the company himself.

On the other hand, there are very few film and television companies that can take on an entire team.

Film and television companies that are able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry generally have their own teams to support.

The market is only so big. If you have a movie to shoot, it means someone else has no movies to shoot.

There are huge implications behind this.

And all of this... will begin to undergo tremendous changes this year.

The first to be affected was the television industry, where many big directors combined capital to establish their own companies.

For example, Noon Sunshine, Huanyu Film and Television, Yaoke Media, and Lemon Pictures.

Many unknown TV drama companies suddenly had capital and took off.

For example, New Classics Media, Ciwen Media, Huanrui Century, and Huace Film and Television!

And the root of all this is... the new market of video websites is really too vast!

A TV series can be sold to both TV stations and video websites.

The famous Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace cost 3 million yuan to produce. The first round of television broadcast rights were sold to Dragon TV and Jiangsu TV, with each episode sold for 300 million yuan, for a total sales of 5.4 million yuan.

The online broadcasting rights were sold to Tencent Video for 900 million yuan per episode, for a total of 8 million yuan.

In the first round of premiere, the copyright fees were sold for 13.4 billion!

A huge profit of more than 1 billion. However, this is not the most outrageous thing.

The most outrageous thing is that this drama, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, is claimed to be the sequel to Zhen Huan's Legend.

As soon as the project was established, Penguin, as an investor, immediately provided the money.

There is no doubt that you can make a lot of money by cooperating with video websites to produce your own dramas.

But now is not a good time to make your own drama.

The returns are too low.

It could have been sold for 100 million, but now it’s only a few million…

We have to wait for video websites to scramble for copyrights, drive up the prices to sky-high levels, and heat up the market.

Wait until the copyright is no longer available.

Start making your own drama again.

You don’t have to wait too long, it will be next year.

Li Mingyang was half asleep and half awake, thinking for more than two hours, then suddenly opened his eyes.

He figured out what to do.

The team parallel production mode of Boonie Bears.

……

The success of the big IP "Boonie Bears" is inseparable from the team's parallel production model.

Since 2017, the creative team of "Boonie Bears" has been operating in a "team parallel" mode.
Two to three teams work simultaneously to push forward the implementation of the project. The entire production team has about 300 people, and the early creation team has about 40 people. The creation cycle of each film is about three years.

This not only ensures that there will be a movie in the "Boonie Bears" series every year, but also allows the creative team to have sufficient time to conduct in-depth research on audio-visual narratives, thereby ensuring the quality of the output and satisfying the audience's ever-increasing aesthetic tastes.

More importantly, the team-based creative model can ensure to the greatest extent that the formation of the work does not rely on the personal will of the director or screenwriter, but relies on collective wisdom and joint opinions.

To this end, the "Boonie Bears" team established a quality review mechanism, which includes review mechanisms from the early creative project establishment, story outline, script to the script.

The stability of the main creative team is also what makes "Boonie Bears" always praised.

Ding Liang, the "Father of Boonie Bears", has served as the chief director of the film for seven consecutive years. While controlling the output quality, he also tries to co-direct with newcomers and train them.

Animated films are actually super complicated.

Although Boonie Bears may not reach the top level, it is stable, productive, and can occasionally become a hit.

Domestic films have been promoting the industrialization of Hollywood, and this is the first company that has truly reached Hollywood's industrial production standards.

That’s right, the production company of Boonie Bears, Fantawild!
The "Boonie Bears" series of films has always adhered to systematic and industrialized production.

During the creative process, there are relatively standardized models and higher standards for when the story should reach a climax, when it should slow down, and how to shock the audience.

This is directly reflected in the careful production and polishing of the visual images, as well as the improvement of film technology and overall quality - the character modeling is constantly improving, the hair special effects are becoming more and more realistic, and the special effects are becoming more and more layered...

Relying on a complete production process that runs continuously, it can not only generate high-quality story texts, but also possess certain narrative skills and emotional core, and can continuously maintain film visual effects and technical upgrades.

On the road to Hollywood industrialization, Fantawild is ahead of many film and television companies.

The most amazing thing about Fantawild is that it is the film and television company in China that is closest to Disney, bar none.

The producer of "Boonie Bears" is Huaqiang Fantawild, and Fantawild's main business is Fantawild Theme Park, followed by various animations and movies.

Of course, the difference between the two is not a little bit... Fantawild only has the IP of Boonie Bears, while Disney has too many...

Even if Boonie Bears doesn’t come out now, there’s no chance of that happening.

Because Fantawild Group was established a long time ago and started to run theme parks.

This is a cultural tourism company that is not short of money, and the one it deals with the most is the government...

Li Mingyang has only watched a few movies like Boonie Bears and Big Big Wolf, but he still can’t figure it out.

But the model of Boonie Bears is very good and very suitable for building IP.

As for IP, he has The Three-Body Problem, a super big IP.

But the Three Series is not very popular now, and it will have to wait until Liu Cixin wins the Hugo Award before it will become a global hit.

In addition, The Three-Body Problem is difficult to adapt and extremely challenging to develop.

The development of novel IP in China is still immature and mainly depends on data. Hot-selling novels have long been targeted by major publishers or bought out.

For example, Zhu Xian and Ghost Blows Out the Light.

In the pursuit of capital, those that have not been bought are all tough nuts to crack.

The copyright of Grave Robbers' Chronicles is still in the hands of Nanpai Sanshu. The copyright fee is not expensive, only one million yuan a year.

But this guy is too demanding when it comes to IP development, requiring personal participation in casting, screenwriting, and production.

Bigger than the producer's full effort.

So far no one is willing to buy it.

After thinking for a while, Li Mingyang decided to write an article about "One Punch Man".

In fact, he wanted to make Under One Person more... But Under One Person hasn't been released yet, and he doesn't remember much...

There are too many elements in Under One Person.

One Punch Man is relatively simple.

I have to say that Teacher One’s character design and story are really great!
Easy to understand, and super exciting.

One Punch Man began serialization on the Internet in July 09.

It's just a practice piece, and it's drawn very sloppily, very sloppily.

However, this ghost painting was so good that it was later noticed by the book artist Murata, and the two sides communicated with each other.
Yusuke Murata created "One Punch Man - Remake" based on the original work.

Murata made great contributions to the success of One Punch Man, but this guy let himself go in the later period and changed the original paintings in a way that he couldn't justify.

Other cartoonists could no longer draw, so they stopped publishing and went out to collect materials.

When Murata couldn't continue drawing, he would go back and continue to revise the work. He revised it so much that he himself didn't even know how he was revising it.

However, there is no need to worry about Murata messing around now.

Because the copyright of One Punch Man is in his hands.
