Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 53 Xianxia version of "Big Ship"!
"Of course I know this!"

Xu Yi said.

Why do TV dramas nowadays only cost around 3000 million at most?
For example, Zhang Da Huzi's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" cost 3500 million.

The cost of "Tian Long" is 3400 million.

These costs are just announced externally and may not be that much in reality.

Only the cost of "Swordsman" reached 4000 million.

But it was invested by CCTV, and they have plenty of money.

But just because CCTV is not short of money doesn’t mean that other TV stations are not short of money either.

Currently, the highest price a TV station pays for the broadcasting rights of a TV series is only 6 to 8 yuan per episode.

Based on a TV series with 40 episodes, the maximum sales is about 300 million!
If it’s any higher, those TV stations won’t be able to afford it!

And there are only a few economically developed provinces that can afford to pay 6 to 8 yuan per episode for TV stations.

Most of the remaining TV stations can only afford 3 to 5 yuan per episode.

Some TV stations in economically backward provinces can only afford to pay a few thousand yuan per episode.

Therefore, it is a bit difficult to make a profit for a TV series with an investment of more than 3000 million.

Not to mention making money.

However, as long as the ratings are high enough, the broadcasting rights can be sold repeatedly.

After the first round is sold out, we will sell the second round. After the second round is sold out, we will sell the third, fourth, and fifth rounds...

The more you sell, the more you earn.

Before Xu Yi was reborn, super popular dramas like "Return of the Condor Heroes" were said to have been broadcast for a full 16 rounds!
But before it is broadcast, who can guarantee that the TV series will be a hit?
So not many people dare to gamble!

You can also choose to sell the TV series directly to CCTV.

As long as CCTV thinks it's okay, the price can even reach hundreds of thousands per episode.

The only difference is that this price of several hundred thousand is to buy out all the copyrights.

This is also why many TV series broadcast by CCTV will not be rebroadcast on other TV stations.

Xu Yi naturally couldn't accept this.

Fortunately, for Xu Yi, making money is not the top priority.

As long as I can make my money back.

Or he can accept a small loss.

What he really cares about is points.

And with this "Legend of Sword and Fairy", he continues to increase his popularity!
Especially the popularity among actors and directors!
Lay a solid foundation for future film making!

Besides, not making money now doesn’t mean you won’t make money in the future.

In his previous life, "Chinese Paladin" was broadcast for 20 years and still made nearly million in profit every year.

That was "Chinese Paladin" produced by Tangren with a budget of 1500 million.

If it were his "Legend of Sword and Fairy", the revenue would have increased several times.

At least double it, there should be no problem!

As for why I chose to shoot "Chinese Paladin", it's actually very simple.

Just look at the TV dramas of this era and you will know what level of great dramas they are.

Last year's ratings champion was CCTV's "The World's Granary."

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be "Return of the Condor Heroes 3" this year.

Next year it’s “Ji Xiaolan”.

The year after next is "Drawing Sword".

In addition, there are the super-big shows "Return of the Condor Heroes" and "Return of the Condor Heroes 2" that are broadcast from time to time during the winter and summer vacations.

If you rely solely on the plot, it would be quite difficult to beat these TV series!

So he had to find another way and start with special effects!

Just like Cameron's "Big Ship" and "Avatar", did they achieve such high box office results just because of the plot?
of course not!

Instead, it relies on shocking special effects to launch a dimensionality reduction attack on traditional movies!
Plus Xu Yi and Liu Yifei are very pretty.

Like "The Big Ship", the core plot is love, which has the widest audience.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a fairy-tale version of "The Big Ship"!

"Since you knew this, why did you invest so much money?"

Wang Jinghua was speechless.

But looking at Xu Yi's expression, she knew she couldn't stop him.

Just like she couldn’t stop Xu Yi from releasing an album before.

"If you have so much money, you might as well just give it to me!" Wang Jinghua complained and sat down next to Xu Yi.

Fan Binbin also sat down.

She is now increasingly realizing that the relationship between her godmother and Xu Yi is definitely not simple!
At least it’s definitely not as simple as just ordinary friends!
Even if Xu Yi had not signed a contract with Huayi.

In addition, Xu Yi makes all the decisions on her own and does not listen to her godmother.

She almost thought that Xu Yi was also an artist under her godmother!

"Are you going to play the male lead? Who's going to play the female lead?"

Wang Jinghua asked again.

Since we cannot stop it, we must find a way to maximize our benefits.

Besides, Xu Yi’s crappy studio only has one signed artist at the moment.

Rather than letting others get a bargain, it’s better to let her get a bargain!
"I will play the male lead myself, and the female lead has been chosen. If you have any suitable actors or actresses, please recommend them to me. I will give them priority. If you have any suitable directors, you can also recommend them to me."

Xu Yi nodded.

Zhao Linger can definitely only be played by Liu Yifei.

But he couldn't tell anyone yet.

And before that, he chose Wang Jinghua as his agent because he hoped that she could help him put together a film crew through her connections.

"Okay, let me help you take a look."

After hearing that the male and female protagonists had been chosen, Wang Jinghua lost interest.

The artists under her nowadays are basically all big-name stars.

If they are the male and female protagonists, it is worth considering.

But forget about playing a supporting role for others.

Isn't that the same as carrying someone else's sedan chair?
Even if the drama becomes popular by then, it won’t be of much benefit.

On the contrary, there may be disadvantages!
In addition, she simply ignored Xu Yi's statement that he wanted to be the director himself.

It's nothing more than a name, and this kind of thing is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.

She didn't believe that Xu Yi really had that ability!
At this time, some other stars in the hall also learned that Xu Yi would invest 5000 million to shoot a TV series.

However, most of the stars who came today were singers and were not very interested in this news.

Besides, who knows if Xu Yi is just talking nonsense!
You know, 5000 million is not a small number!

Less than an hour later, before the celebration banquet was over, Xu Yi left early.

He left with Master Zhou.

Previously at the celebration banquet, he took the initiative to approach Mr. Zhou again.

And after his guidance, Master Zhou finally made up his mind.

I sent a breakup text message to handsome Li on the spot!

It turned out that she and the handsome Li had quarreled countless times during this period.

But every time they were about to break up completely, the handsome Li would come back to coax her.

So it has never been completely disconnected.

But she was indeed tired of this relationship.

I don't want to continue arguing like this.

Xu Yi's appearance only allowed her to make a decision in advance!

But what she didn't know was that handsome Li did this because he actually had a new goal.

Xu Yi naturally didn't tell her.

Because in Xu Yi's previous life, Queen Wang and Chef Xie only officially announced their breakup on July 7 this year.

As soon as Queen Wang broke up, handsome Li also quickly broke up with Mr. Zhou.

Then he ran over to ask Queen Wang about her well-being.

But now Queen Wang and Chef Xie have not broken up yet.

At least it hasn't been officially announced.

So even if he said it at this time, handsome Li would definitely not admit it.

On the contrary, it might make Mr. Zhou think that he was trying to sow discord.

In addition, in Xu Yi's previous life, this matter caused a lot of uproar.

That's why he can remember it so clearly.

After breaking up with the handsome Li, he and Mr. Zhou looked at each other.

They slid away together tacitly...
