I'm almost a Muggle

Just like dreaming.

Suddenly he became the director of a big drama.

I heard that the IP "Liu Yuqing" is planned to be released for three seasons, with a total investment expected to be around 800 million.

I also heard that such series from the Cat Factory.

Any actor who wants to participate must sign a contract for the entire series.

You can ask for a price increase as long as you are worth it.

That's OK.

But if you maliciously raise prices and refuse to act through price increases, then I'm sorry, the path you chose must bear the anger of the cat factory.

In other words, Sun Hao took on the project "Listen to Yuqing".

What he did not take on was a TV series.

It's a series of at least three seasons.

All the money and other things are in place, so he, the director, was allowed to take the lead and get out.

"Have you confirmed the candidates for the other films?" Lin Dong asked Du Qixi.

In fact, he asked Sun Hao to serve as the director of "Listen to Yuqing". In addition to the nostalgia factor, Sun Hao's level is also because of his low level.

Not only is he not very good at his level, he has always been a director of urban themes.

It is even more difficult to ensure the level under transformation.

Then it will be difficult to make much money for this project.

This TV series is authorized to a certain goose, kiwi, oil barrel, M station, and four companies.

I won’t talk about M station here.

The other three companies signed a similar bet agreement with the cat factory.

If the reputation and click-through rate of the first season of this show are very poor, then the licensing fee for the second season will have to be cut in half.

The licensing fee for the first quarter was 100 million per company.

The four companies have a total of 400 million.

If the second season is cut in half, the four companies will only have 200 million.

If we can cut another knife in the third season, there will be only 100 million in the four companies.

In total, the four companies have a total of 700 million yuan.

In addition, any one has the right to withdraw in the process.

If it's too bad, I won't buy it.

By then, the investment of 800 million yuan will not even be recovered.

Of course, since it is a bet, it is impossible to go one-sided.

If the reputation and click-through rate are very high, the licensing fee for each company will be 200 million in the second quarter.

The third season turned into 300 million.

Together, 4+8+12=24, the four companies have a total of 2.4 billion.

After deducting 800 million costs, he still earned 1.6 billion, and his net profit after tax is more than 1 billion.

The money spent on M station belongs to the right hand.

However, when M-site broadcasts, there will be revenue such as advertising fees.

If the drama is popular, the advertising revenue cannot be underestimated.

There is also the copyright of the TV series, which may be sold out of the pot.

The worst case is the second and third seasons, and other platforms will not buy it, and only earn 400 million in the first season.

The best situation is that the reputation and click-through rate of season 1 and season 2 are very high.

Make money every season.

Finally, they directly bought a sky-high price of 2.4 billion, and the four companies shared the burden, each company invested 600 million to buy these three seasons.

On average, it is only 200 million per season.

This is not an exaggerated number for the cost of video.

"The Lost Furious" is Yun Baoer's drama, with a single episode of 10 million. What is exaggerated is that the drama is as if it is torn into sixty-two episodes.

A bad movie can be sold for more than 600 million yuan.

In comparison, "Listen to Yuqing" is worth 200 million in one season.

The only disharmonious thing is that the Cat Factory suddenly authorized four platforms.

It's so fraternal.

Everyone prefers exclusive.

This is just thinking about it, thinking with your feet, and you all know that this is impossible.

If you have to authorize an exclusive one.

It is obvious that the cat factory will choose to just authorize it to M station.

At that time, if the drama becomes as popular as "The Sky Bureau" and "Linglong List", the users of M Station will surge again.

After all, the cat factory has to set up a archway.

This gave everyone a chance to breathe.

Exclusiveness means monopoly, which means choosing one of two. You either watch it on my side or don’t.

The cat factory wants to fight monopoly.

You have to sit upright, so at least two or more companies have to be authorized to projects such as film and television dramas and variety shows.

Many companies are authorized, which is what Lin Dong requested.

He said that if I want to watch this drama, I have to open a member of a certain Goose family. If I want to watch that drama, I have to open a member of a Kiwi family. When both of my families opened, I suddenly found that the third one had a drama that I was interested in.

Damn, how many members I have to open.

Is this reasonable?

At least it is simply unreasonable for consumers.

But everyone is used to it, and before they know it, they feel it is very reasonable.

Some people even think that video websites are not easy, and they lose dozens or tens of billions every year, which is really pitiful.

Why don’t you spend tens of billions to help other people’s video websites?

The cat factory obviously wants to implement this simple and crude gambling rule.

Those dramas that are not divided into several seasons are also simple and can be measured by ten episodes and one point.

This drama has the first ten episodes, how many clicks and how many points it has been.

If it's good, you'll add money in the next ten episodes, and if it's not good, you'll get money off.

What, you said you only sold the first ten episodes of money.

Please, you can't even make money back if you have that little money.

Don't worry about whether it is reasonable or not, this situation will definitely greatly reduce the number of bad movies.

The TV series in China are getting worse and worse, and they are fresh and refined. Many of them are very conscientious in the previous episodes, and they immediately start to rot in a landslide after a few episodes.

All of them are determined by the platform's procurement mechanism.

When purchasing the platform, I just watch the first few episodes. If I think it’s good, I will give it a big price.

As for what happened later, who cares.

Only a small number of people who want to accumulate reputation and plan to do a long-term business will talk about it in the future.

For example, there is a TV series adapted from "Golden Eye" (Golden Eye: Just tell me your name directly), and the beginning is really good.

But what's the thing behind it?

The tiger's head and the snake's tail are all raised, and the tiger's head and loach's tail are almost the same.

The cat factory promotes money while broadcasting, and it is not original. This is a bit similar to the other side of Bangbang.

There is filming and broadcasting.

If you have a higher rating, you will shoot more, and if you have a lower rating, you will have sixteen episodes, or even fewer episodes.

"I'm still looking for it, I plan to take charge of "All-round Master" myself." Du Qixi said.

"You..." Lin Dong didn't know what to say.

He is not sure.

Du Qixi is a film director and a big director. The movies he made are both box office and reputation.

But he has never filmed a TV series.

Would it be better if Du Qixi stopped filming movies and started filming TV series?

"Dongzi, don't worry, I won't cheat you." Du Qixi was very confident.

Isn't it just a TV series?

Appearance + acting skills, the plot will not be scattered, the special effects will be fully appreciated, and finally I will sell the feelings of the second-class people.

I don't believe that this game is not very good.

"Don't worry," Lin Dong thought for a while and reminded: "Although it is adapted from the game, its three views are correct, and the children should be guided correctly."

"Yeah, I must let the children learn well." Du Qixi resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

If Zhang Jincheng said this, it would be understandable, after all, Zhang Jincheng has a baby at home.

Dongzi, you don’t even have a girlfriend.

What next generation are you worried about?
