Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 526 Partnership to Build a Big IP!

"Da da da da da..."

The voice was not Gatling with the blue light, but the speedboat that finally left Ezhou Island. The motor was rumbling, and Li Zhifan and the others were laughing and shouting happily.

Seeing the following PD following behind, Li Zhifan shouted at them: "Hey! Let's compete, who will arrive first!"

"You are really shameless!"

Zhou Shilei laughed and said, "We set off before others, haha, but I like it!"

The boat that followed the PDs was not only far away, but the motors of the two boats were also loud. Li Zhifan's shouts could not be heard at all, only his waving gesture could be seen.

In just a few minutes, the six finally approached the ship.

There were already people waiting on the boat. Although they didn't expect Li Zhifan and the six to come over so soon, they were the ones who should be pulled onto the boat.

"It's finally here!"

As soon as Wang Yue boarded the boat, he began to search, "Where's Huang Tianhai? Come out for me?"

"Director Huang is not on board!"

The staff replied truthfully, "He is waiting for us on the other side!"

"What an old fox!"

As Wang Yue said, his eyes rolled around and he asked, "What food are you preparing for us?"

"Eat?" Several crew members looked at each other, not understanding what he said.

Wang Yue pretended to be very angry and said: "Don't pretend! Director Huang said that as long as we board the boat, there will be a delicious meal for us to enjoy. What's the matter? You all swallowed it up?"

"No no!"

The crew waved their hands again and again, "We definitely didn't take it all by ourselves!"

"Where did it go?" Zhou Shilei was also on the boat at this time, and he leaned over to question.

Several crew members looked innocent and said, "Director Huang didn't tell us what feast to arrange. We still have some drinks and fruits. If you want something to eat, we can arrange a chef to make it for you."

"That!"

Zhou Shilei said directly, "Serve drinks and fruit first, then call your chef over, and we'll order."

With that said, Wang Yue took out the money he earned from performing arts on the island just now—only five hundred was left.

He handed the money to several crew members, and said, "Let's pay the deposit first, and the rest will be on the shore in a while, and you can ask Director Huang for it. By the way, don't start the boat, let's enjoy the beautiful scenery on the river!"

"Okay, let's go this way!"

These crew members are all from the shipping company, not from the program team. Naturally, they don't know the secrets between the program team and the six men's gang members. If they were replaced by program staff, they would definitely not treat them like this.

Li Zhifan and the others also thought they belonged to the program team at first, but after learning their true identities, their attitude towards them naturally changed a lot, and they served the six people politely and tremblingly, so I am really embarrassed to ask What.

While everyone was eating and drinking, Wang Yue suddenly asked a question: "How many people, there are no outsiders now, let's chat! How did you sign the contract?"

"contract?"

Fu Bing smiled, "Isn't it a normal variety show contract? But in terms of price, I'm definitely not as high as my brothers."

"I didn't say that!"

Wang Yuedao, "Have you read all the details of the contract? I'm talking about the responsibility of the program group. We're going to make a movie. You all know that, right?"

"I know!" Zhou Shilei immediately stood up and said, "I've read the contract carefully, and it seems that in addition to recording the program, there is also a bundled project, that is, we want to cooperate with them to make a variety show movie! But so far, the program team has not Didn't you talk about it?"

"Isn't it filmed after the program group finishes recording?"

Sun Youbin said, "My agent asked, it seems that the filming will not start until the end of the year."

The proposal for a variety show movie was proposed by Li Zhifan. In this world, there is no such thing as a big variety show movie. Although the host team of some programs has collectively participated in the shooting of some movies, they are not the leading actors, and the names of the movies are similar to theirs. If the show is not up to the top, naturally it cannot be called a variety show movie.

As for the original "Extreme Challenge" variety show movie, Li Zhifan thought it was terrible, so although he made this opinion, he didn't want to copy the original "Extreme Challenge: Royal Treasure", but chose another one. Movie.

It's just that Mango Channel doesn't pay much attention to it. In their view, this variety show is like a 120-minute "Extreme Challenge" feature film. Although it is not a problem to be shown on the big screen, the distance from the "movie" is very large. Actually very far.

"I have some inside information!"

Li Zhifan said, "Do you want to hear it?"

"Of course, tell me quickly!"

"That's right, what do you know? Don't be tricky!"

Seeing everyone's eagerness, Li Zhifan smiled and said: "Before I talk, let me lay the groundwork. Brothers, you are all leading figures in the Chinese performance industry. When it comes to acting skills, you are not bad. Then say After accepting the script, you will definitely investigate it, right?"

"That's for sure!"

Wang Yue said confidently, "I don't know how to make bad movies, no matter how much money I give them!"

"Don't talk about bad movies, I only accept one movie and TV series every year, and I won't accept scripts that are slightly inferior!"

Zhou Shilei was even more arrogant, and he said this in a very indifferent tone, which was completely different from the laughing and joking he was when recording the program before.

"now it's right!"

Li Zhifan patted his knee, but frowned again, "But the variety show movies bundled in our contract are different from the ones we usually shoot. According to director Li Rui, the stage just wanted to plan a challenge mission together, and then we It’s like a variety show, but it’s finally made into a movie.”

"It's quite new!" Zhou Shilei didn't resist. Perhaps he was used to this atmosphere because of the recording of the program in the past few days, "I haven't heard of the name variety show movie yet."

"Zhifan, when you say that, I understand a little bit!"

Wang Yue disagreed, "You mean to turn the variety show into a movie and show it in theaters? Isn't this a mess? Movies are an art of lens language, and reality shows are TV art. How can they be confused?"

"What's wrong with that!"

Zhou Shilei retorted, "It wasn't filmed, so you know it's not suitable? You haven't even read the script given by the stage, so you know it won't work? What if we are an innovation? What if it's done, and we'll end up with Like the Jason Tan hero in the United States, how about making a series?"

"Although American blockbusters are technologically advanced, the artistic content of those hero films is not necessarily high. They are completely technical successes. Do those CG films need acting skills? I don't know how to make them anyway!"

"..."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, and even Sun Youbin, Wang Ye, and Fu Bing didn't dare to say anything, Li Zhifan stood up and interrupted the two of them: "Brothers, it's over! Let me say something here, if you really put this If the movie is handed over to Mango TV, you will definitely regret what you make, and netizens will complain about it, believe it or not?"

Wang Yue said: "I believe it!"

Zhou Shilei curled his lips: "Not necessarily!"

Li Zhifan said persuasively: "Then let me not discuss this, let me tell you what I think? The contract has been signed, and this big movie must be made. If you don't make it, you will breach the contract, right?"

Wang Yue and Zhou Shilei nodded at the same time, and even Sun Youbin and the others followed suit.

Li Zhifan said along the way: "In this case, why don't we talk to them and leave this case to us to do it ourselves, we will write the script, build the crew, and even raise investment by ourselves, and then we will share the box office, how about that? "

"This……"

The five looked at each other, then looked at Li Zhifan together, and asked in unison, "Do you have an idea?"

"Correct!"

Li Zhifan said truthfully, "After these few days of recording, a story came into my mind. According to this story, I want to make an all-male play, and I plan to write it when I get back. Brother Ye is the screenwriter. When the time comes, I would like to invite you Help me to correct it, and then ask a few people to give their opinions, if it is feasible, we will start filming, how about it?"

The five looked at each other again, and then at Li Zhifan together, waiting for him to continue.

Li Zhifan picked up a glass of drink, stood up and said like a commander-in-chief: "Nowadays, film and television dramas are all based on IP, and if the IP of "Extreme Challenge" is done well, many things can be derived, but the core Yes, it’s still the six of us. If there is a good story that can attract investment, then the six of us can join hands with Mango Channel to set up a company specializing in the IP film and television of "Extreme Challenge". When we make money, we will leave this company Divide the accounts. First raise funds in the early stage, and start filming when you have enough money, and we can even bring variety shows over and absorb them into the company, earn more money, and produce more series of derivative works.”

In fact, movies derived from variety shows are very good IP projects, just like the American superhero series, which can be a huge system or a separate side story.

The film and television market is the Vanity Fair, making money or gaining fame are the two things that people who enter this Vanity Fair desire most.

Li Zhifan's idea seems to have shared a lot of his own interests, but once the IP project is established, it is money, and the assets that are raised belong to this IP, in other words, they belong to them. The appeal of one person is definitely not as good as that of six people. Appeal, if there are six people plus a super IP plus Mango Channel, the appeal will be infinite.

Wang Yue and others are not easily satisfied, and they are very ambitious.

After hearing Li Zhifan's plan, he stood up and said, "In this way, each of us can tell a story under the IP of "Extreme Challenge", and all six of us can be directors and lead actors, right?"

"Of course!"

Li Zhifan said, "In this way we are a collective, we make full use of this IP, and we can do more things we want to do within the IP!"

"Then the IP belongs to Mango Channel?"

Zhou Shilei worried, "What if he doesn't cooperate with us?"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "This IP doesn't just belong to Mango Channel. Our timeline is also in this project, but we stand at 60.00%. To be honest, director Li Rui is from our timeline."

After hearing this, the five people were all stunned, and looked at Li Zhifan in disbelief.

"So... this program is equivalent to being run by you?"

"Then what mission we do, don't you know all about it?"

"This makes me even better. You can definitely cooperate with Mango Channel to develop this IP. Why are you trying to bring five of us into the game?"

"Yes! Aren't you sacrificing yourself? Or do you have some conspiracy?"

"..."

A bunch of questions came oncoming, but Li Zhifan smiled and said: "After listening to it, I will explain it to you slowly. First of all, this show is co-organized by Timeline and Mango Channel. I am only a facilitator, but I do not participate in any pre-production, only participate in Recording, so I don't know what challenge the program group designed!"

"Second, as I said before, the six of us are the core of this show. After a few days of getting along, although there is not much time, I believe that everyone is not only the best brothers, but also the best partners. Together we Only by working hard can we maximize the benefits of this IP, right?"

"As for the sacrifice, it may not be necessary. If it goes public in the future, it will also attract a large number of shareholders. It is not certain that the benefits that will be distributed at that time will be more than if I hold it in my own hands."

After hearing Li Zhifan's words, the five of them were all agitated.

Undoubtedly, the cake painted by Li Zhifan is very attractive to them.

But they are also worried, what if it is folded?
When many IPs are developed, they are caught in the first wave, but then they fall, and good IPs are also ruined.

They don't want the signboard of "Extreme Challenge" to be made like this.

Li Zhifan saw their hesitation, so he asked: "Don't you even have the courage to give it a try? It doesn't cost much to set up a company, and our investment is just a movie to test the waters in the early stage. Lesson learned, it is better to make a profit, but whether it is a loss or a profit, we will have more experience in the future, won’t we?”

After pondering for a while, Sun Youbin was the first to stand up and support Li Zhifan: "I followed, anyway, I am a comedian, and sometimes I can't see clearly what the future is like, why not follow Zhifan's idea and fight for it. At least I will never regret it in the future!"

Fu Bing also followed suit: "I'm young, sometimes I fall down and stand up again, and I follow!"

Wang Yue, Wang Ye, and Zhou Shilei looked at each other, and Wang Ye said first: "You two talk first, and I'll think about it later. The main reason is that I don't have much money now. If I lose money, what will happen to my wife and children? Sigh! When a man comes to me At this age, I really need to think about it.”

Instead, Zhou Shilei said frankly: "I also followed. Over the years, I have invested in many projects and lost a lot of money. Zhifan has said it all. Let's try the water first, and we didn't ask us to gamble our wealth and lives. Isn't it?"

"Then I will follow!"

Wang Yue said, "Zhifan, let's make an agreement later, you can talk to them over at Mango Terrace! I'm looking for someone to set up a company, by the way, let's think of a name? What's the name of the company?"

"I've thought about it a long time ago!" Li Zhifan said with a smile, "Man! Man! Help! How about it?"

"Men's Gang, Men's Gang..."

Wang Yue recited it several times, nodded and said, "Yes, eh? This name, you didn't think of it for the program group, did you?"

"Haha, I was seen through by Brother Yue!"

Li Zhifan said with a smile, "So the intellectual property rights of this trademark, man, with me, you can use him to set up a company with confidence!"
