Chapter 643 Industry bubble! (Second more please subscribe!)
"Congratulations Li Ying, our company has also taken up a spot for the four little female roles this time."

At the banquet, the four new four female roles became the center of the venue, and Tang An also congratulated the artists of his company.

"Thank you, Director Tang. If you hadn't given me so many opportunities, I wouldn't be where I am today." Zhao Liying quickly offered a toast to Tang An.

"There are opportunities everywhere in life. If you can grasp them, the current achievements are all made by yourself."

Tang An smiled, raised his glass to other artists in the company around him and said with a smile, "Come on, let's toast Liying together."

"Congratulations, Li Ying."

"Congratulations, Miss Liying."

Yang Ying, Ni Ni, and Liu Shishi were also in the same situation, and they were all happy.

Chen Chaohua also came to express his congratulations. By the way, there will be an exclusive interview with Nandu and Sohu in two days.

The four little female roles, the judging is not over yet, they have to promote and create momentum so that the audience will remember them.

Otherwise, once the heat of the past two days has passed, when the Four Little Huadans are mentioned, the first impression in other people's minds is still those four people from 09, which would be embarrassing.

After that, Zhou Shiwei talked to Tang An alone about the adaptation of another novel.

"Tang Dong, the price offered by Xiaoxiang is too outrageous, and the price is eight figures."

Speaking of this, Zhou Shiwei looked embarrassed.

The film and television copyrights of online novels that no one wanted in the past two years can now easily reach millions, and the top IPs even reach tens of millions.

When the group won "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", it didn't spend a lot of money, and it didn't spend a lot of money on the copyright of several novels in the first two years.

"Mr. Zhou, the group will not interfere with the operation of Han and Tang Literature. The rise in the copyright price of online novels is inevitable. The market is here. You should understand this."

Tang An frowned, and came to tell him about this.

Zhou Shiwei smiled wryly, "I also know that this is the general market environment, but now Xiaoxiang Academy refuses to sell even 1000 million yuan, and a company sold 1100 million yuan."

Tang An shook his head, "Then I have no reason to let Xiaoxiang Academy not sell expensive ones but sell them to you at a lower price. I don't say they have any objections at that time. The author himself has lost 50 shares for no reason, and he will also have grievances against the website. .”

For the same price, the website will definitely give priority to the internal group, but the price difference of 100 million is not a small amount.

Zhou Shiwei did not refute, but said, "Director Tang, I understand that, but I have checked that company, it is a leather bag company, and the other party is obviously a white wolf with empty hands, trying to use the reputation of IP to deceive a few investors."

"Are you sure?" Tang An asked.

Zhou Shiwei affirmed, "This kind of thing will be clear after investigation."

"That's okay, I'll ask someone to ask later. Unqualified film and television companies can't waste a good IP, but you still have to pay the money you should pay." Tang An nodded.

Tang An had told Wu Wen before that film and television companies that acquire all levels of IP must have certain qualifications.

Although the emergence of "magic films" cannot be eliminated, there is also a threshold.

Zhou Shiwei said, "Of course the money will be paid, but Director Tang, I don't know if I should say something."

"What to say."

"Now a top-tier IP has reached eight figures, and the copyright of the "Red Sorghum" TV series that was previously sold was only 1000 million yuan, and the scriptwriter Zhao Dongling was paid 1000 million yuan. An online novel is comparable to a novel by a great writer like Mo Yan. This bubble is really too big, I'm worried."

Zhou Shiwei stopped when he said this, but Tang An knew what he meant.

Han and Tang literature is preparing to go public. If this bubble bursts when it goes public, it will be a huge blow.

Tang An nodded to express his understanding, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, your vision is very long-term. I discussed this situation with Mr. Wu, so I didn't want to sell copyrights. I have always maintained a certain degree, and top-level IPs require A complete and detailed development plan to try to control the proliferation of online novel copyrights."

If you sell more, there will naturally be more people hitting the street, so control the amount.

Of course, there is no limit to the number of books with a price of around one million. This kind of book is not like "Dou Po", which will attract a lot of abuse if you pounce on one book. Prospects.

In fact, not only network IP, but the bubble of the entire industry has begun to appear.

Not only the high price of IP, but also the return of movie stars such as Zou Xun, Fan Binbin, and Wang Xiaoming to the small screen, directly raising the salary by a notch.

Zou Xun and Fan Binbin received 3000 million yuan, and Wang Xiaoming announced that the film remuneration was 5000 million yuan as an investment for "The Loyal Yue Fei".

One is higher than the other, the difficulty is lower than making a movie, the money is more, and the fame has also risen.

In the final analysis, there is still too much capital flowing into the entertainment industry. With so much capital coming in with a lot of money, it is inevitable that the salary and production costs will increase.

There are hundreds of film and television companies with countless capitals behind them. There is no way to contain them, and it is very difficult for the country.

But this is a good thing for artists, directors, behind-the-scenes staff, and even low-level extras.

Not only the remuneration of the actors, but also the remuneration of the director.

With more capital to pursue stars and famous directors, more film and television dramas are filmed every year, more behind-the-scenes professionals and extras are needed, and wages have increased significantly.

The most intuitive is the production cost.

The next day, Tang An looked at the TV drama projects that were in preparation, or had been prepared but not yet finished in the company.

Three years ago, the production cost of a single episode of a costume drama could be regarded as excellent. Even if the star salary of a modern drama is higher, 70 million is a conscience drama, and it can do very well in all aspects.

The project approval at the beginning of this year is not obvious. Among the projects finalized in the last two months, among the joint venture projects of the group itself, Hantang Films and its four subsidiaries, the price of a single episode of a costume drama has soared to 200 million yuan per episode. It can easily break through a billion.

The salary of the actors alone cannot be raised so much. IP, behind-the-scenes personnel, directors, and extras, each position has a salary increase, and when added up one by one, it becomes the current price.

More and more capital is flowing into the film and television industry, and it is normal to increase prices in all directions, and the demand is huge.

It is still normal now, but later it became more and more outrageous, forcing Optoelectronics and various ministries and commissions to issue a salary limit order.

In fact, Optoelectronics will make a move next year. Several meetings were held, but in the end it was all over. It just issued a two-star requirement for a drama.

A TV series cannot be sold to four satellite TVs at one time like in the past, and can be sold to two satellite TVs at most.

The pressure on TV stations doubled in an instant, and they had to spend twice as much as before to buy dramas, which directly led to the shelving of a large number of high-cost TV dramas and recalculation of budgets.

It wasn't until 17 that the proportion of actors' remuneration in the cost was clearly limited, the highest could only account for 40%, and the starring role could only account for 40% of the 70%.

If it exceeds, it must be filed with the TV Drama Industry Association and the Actors Committee of the China Canton Federation and explain the situation.

But this is not a problem for the stars. If they can't get cash, they will convert it into investment and equity, and they will become producers and producers.

You can avoid the target of "too high pay", once the TV series sells well, the actual income will be higher than the previous pay, but there is a little risk.

If you swipe the data again, the risk will be infinitely close to zero.

Looking at the development and changes in the next few years, it is beyond the control of a single group of producers and actors.

Don't you feel jealous when others get 3000 million?

I am not that famous myself, if 3000 million is not enough, then it will be [-] or [-].

The salary also represents the status of the actor, and no one will lower the salary for no reason.

For the producers, the cost is getting higher and higher, but the capital entering the film and television industry is also increasing. These capitals are not bad for money. Anyway, most of them are paid by these capitals.

Even if the producers don't want to spend a high price, but the market is like this, either you spend a lot of money, or find a few cheap actors.

The actor's high remuneration is passed on to the producer's pressure, and the producer can only pass the pressure on to the TV station.

TV stations can only pass the pressure on to advertisers and viewers. They buy a 40-minute episode and cut it into 30 minutes.

The source of the problem seems to be the actor's salary, but the salary is not increased for no reason.

In the final analysis, there is still a lot of capital. Everyone wants to find a big star, and the price quoted is higher than the other. If the price goes up, it will not be so easy to come down.

It's not time to worry about these things now, and it's still a trivial matter now.

After the release of one drama with two stars, the competition among major TV stations for big dramas and drama kings has intensified. In addition, video websites have become more mature, and a new round of capital has re-entered the battlefield, which is really scary.

After three or four years, a drama with a cost of 200 million yuan for a single episode is nothing. If there is no episode of 400 million yuan, I am ashamed to say that I am a big production.

As for how can there be such a high cost when the salary is limited?
This is not a problem, I have excellent props, and a piece of clothing is hundreds of thousands.

The scenery is real and gorgeous, and it cost tens of millions to set up a live-action studio.

The food and treatment of the crew is good, and they eat a big meal and stay in a hotel every meal.

The actors were paid for the film, but it was not on the surface. On the surface, the money was spent by the crew for various expenses.

There are too many similar ways, only you can't do it, there is nothing unexpected.

The inevitable direction of development, capital wants to come to the film and television industry to make money, so the major companies are eyeing the pockets of capital, and after some operations, large sums of money will quietly fall into their pockets.

Those actors and companies' methods of wandering on the edge of the law cannot be stopped, unless two typical models are caught, they will be used as an example, and they will be imprisoned for two years to ensure that they are honest.

It's not true, it's not that there is a saying that when the profit is higher than a certain amount, people can ignore the law.

Tang An can only restrain his own people, and don't be implicated in the big investigation, the rest can only be watched.

Shaking his head and ignoring these things, he put these documents aside and checked that the time was not too early.

After a short break, a vice president from IDG Capital and Fujixun came and negotiated the financing of Nuomi.com.

Nuomi.com received a round B financing of 31 million yuan from two companies at a valuation of 5.2 billion yuan. They each contributed half, each accounting for 7.182% of the shares, while Hantang Media also held 85.636% of the shares.

After the financing, Nuomi.com received a supplement of RMB 5.2 million, and has sufficient financial support for various businesses including food, drink, entertainment, etc. in hotels, tourism, and food delivery!
There are still two days left in the summer vacation. On August 8, the National Film Bureau and China Film Group jointly held a film industry conference, and all major companies were invited to attend.

This time it was presided over by Kang Pei, Deputy Director of the Film Bureau, and Han Sanping, Chairman of China Film Group.
