My wife is in my arms

Chapter 754 Finally, I managed to get five.
Lin Bao'er, who had attended two meetings and met with a foreign film company in the afternoon, was still at get off work. Although the popularity of the short drama was foreshadowed, she did not pay much attention to it.

The main issue is the content... To be honest, these short dramas don't even have basic logic, they're mindless. But surprisingly, even with such mindless dramas, foreign film companies actually came to Tianyu Entertainment to buy the remake rights for some of their short dramas.

The price is not low.

They were willing to pay $200,000 for the rights to a short series of four or five episodes.

They bought the rights to over twenty short dramas. Keep in mind that the production cost for each episode of these short dramas is only a few hundred thousand yuan, and some can be produced for tens of thousands of yuan.

At the time, she was able to develop this business with a try-it-out mentality, after all, the investment was really small, unlike real TV series where the production cost of one or two million per episode is normal. A 30-episode TV series would require a production cost of over 100 million, which is considered low in the film and television industry.

Therefore, the sale of the short drama rights has indeed brought considerable benefits to the company.

In particular, the copyrights for "My Billionaire Husband," "The Interview," and "Divorcing an Unreliable Man, I Took Half a Country" sold for $700,000.

This short drama was written by Da Congming in the scriptwriting department, but for some reason, it has never been filmed. Unexpectedly, among all the short dramas, the script of this short drama that was posted on the scriptwriting blog sold for the highest price.

Even though Lin Bao'er has held a high position for so many years, she was still severely impacted this time. Nothing could be more outrageous than this, especially since the production company not only praised the script after reading it, but also didn't haggle over the price like they do with other short drama scripts.

to be frank.

She couldn't figure it out and couldn't understand it.

Because this was completely illogical. She knew that Tianyu Entertainment had some exaggerated short dramas, but this was nothing like "A Billionaire Falls in Love with a Menopausal Woman"... When the title of this short drama appeared in Lin Bao'er's mind.

Her lips twitched almost imperceptibly a few times.

Some of the screenwriters in our own company are really... When we ask them to write movie and TV scripts, they either write a mess or their scripts require a very high production budget to complete. But when we ask them to write short dramas for the production department, they are like someone who hasn't eaten before surgery but has had something drawn on them and then was given anesthesia, and they have no normal thinking.

Not only are their ideas wildly imaginative, but they're also exaggerated to an extreme degree.

A billionaire fell in love with me during my menopause... Even the most brain-dead billionaire wouldn't do something like that. Isn't eighteen appealing enough, or twenty-eight?

Ironically, this short drama has a high viewership and a high membership recharge rate.

However, Lin Bao'er also knew that there were some things in the business world that didn't need to be understood, as long as you made money.

Therefore, she specifically spoke with the head of the scriptwriting department and directly awarded the screenwriter who wrote such an explosive plot 200,000 yuan as a bonus. She also instructed the head of the scriptwriting department to have this screenwriter write more short dramas like this in the future.

Judging from the reactions of overseas film sets and the increasing market demand for short dramas, Lin Baoer predicts that the industry will inevitably experience explosive growth in the next few years.

This outcome can be attributed to several reasons.

First, production costs in the film and television industry are increasing year by year.

Secondly, there is excessive padding, like the case of Zhang You's "Case Solving," which had at least five or six episodes padded out.

Short dramas are different.

It lasts at most ten minutes.

The plot is exaggerated to an extreme, but the pace is fast, and it often provides the audience with a fantasy space where they can temporarily escape the pressure of reality through so-called "exhilarating" content.

Having made these clear judgments about the development of short dramas, Lin Bao'er plans to invite the president of Cainiao Music to discuss the matter tomorrow. Putting aside Zhang You's "sky-high price song" issue, since she has agreed to cooperate with Cainiao Music on short dramas, she naturally cannot change her mind because of this matter.

This is especially true since Zhang Xiyu is involved. Such a collaboration would benefit both Tianyu Entertainment and Rookie Music. Short dramas require a large number of songs and music to enhance the atmosphere, and the two companies could jointly invest in developing video software, focusing on short dramas.

In the afternoon, she browsed through the scriptwriting department's short drama library, and there were many more, such as "Swapping Bride", "Mom Doesn't Love Me Once", "Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law Triple Gate", "Love and Ignore", "After Going on a Blind Date with the Boss", "The Older Man Loves Me Fiercely"...

She didn't watch the specific content because seeing the titles of these short dramas distorted her worldview and values. One of them seemed to be related to Jiang Yiren, and it was called something like "The Queen of Song Falls in Love with Me, the Security Guard".

This short drama was in the production plan last year, but Zhang You became the company's music director. The production department was worried about offending him, so they didn't dare to start filming.

If they were to actually film it, inviting Zhang You to star in it would be a perfect fit for his own personality.

Zhang You will play the male lead.

The female lead will be played by Jiang Yiren.

Thinking about this, Lin Bao'er, sitting in her office chair, couldn't help but laugh. The people in the screenwriting department were really something... The key was that they covered all sorts of topics, so this market was indeed very promising.

Reaching for her phone, Lin Bao'er was about to check the time and head back if it got late. It was indeed late, already 8:15. Then, she saw several unread messages.

When she opened her chat account, she found that the real-life inspiration for the story "The Diva Falls in Love with Me, the Security Guard" had sent her several messages.

"Baby, the 'Liping Show' that I recorded this afternoon will be broadcast. Remember to watch it."

"Baby, the broadcast time is 8 PM, don't forget! If you forget, our friendship is over."

Two more were posted recently.

"The show has started, watch carefully."

"Baby, why aren't you replying to my messages? You didn't just ignore them, did you?"

Just as she was looking at the message with a puzzled expression, her phone rang. Lin Bao'er quickly pressed the answer button, and Zhang You's somewhat annoyed voice came from the other end of the line, saying, "Bao'er, what are you doing?!"

"I haven't gotten off work yet!"

Lin Bao'er replied.

"I'm hanging up now. You have one minute to open 'Liping Show.' No matter how busy you are, wait until you've watched it before dealing with anything else. Otherwise, 'Until the End of the World' will be the last song I write for Tianyu Singer."

“good good”

Lin Bao'er quickly smiled and said, "I'll watch it now. It's just a talk show; what profound truths could it possibly say?"

hang up the phone.

Lin Bao'er searched for "Li Ping Show" on her phone. It had been playing for a while, so she clicked on it and saw a woman tearfully recounting her love story.

Lin Bao'er was somewhat puzzled.

She knew about the show, but when did it become about playing the victim?!
And he even sold it in front of Zhang You... This guy isn't some kind of relationship mediator.
