Peninsula Entertainment Starts as a Writer

Genie Picture Production Company, Conference Room.

A man in a suit strode into the conference room with a smile on his face as he walked, nodding hello to colleagues he hadn't seen for two days, and finally sat at the head of the conference table.

After looking around roughly, he noticed that there were a few more empty seats on the left hand side. While unbuttoning his clothes, he subconsciously asked: "How many are Ah Quan and the others?"

"Last week, we negotiated with a comic writer about a collaborative project for a web series. Half an hour ago, the writer led a team over for an interview."

"I see, this is a good thing. No matter what, it is a good thing to have a program.

What is the audience feedback of "Weekly Idol" in the first two weeks? What new highlights do you plan to introduce this week, and which artist groups do you plan to invite?"

Just when the main producer of the project was about to answer, there were two knocks on the door, and a relatively sturdy man pushed the door open, followed by three or four men and women filing in behind him.

The man at the head table saw partner A Quan coming in and waved to invite him to take a seat: "What was the result of the interview? Can your second production department be opened?"

After the man named "Ah Quan" sat down, he loosened his tie, looked around, and slowly leaned forward: "This comic writer is so whimsical, he actually wants to get involved in the project process and detailed link formulation."<

/p>

Mo?

Ah Quan’s words instantly made the conference room noisy.

What they, the producers, are most afraid of is the inexperienced Party A, because these Party A not only like to come up with some messy ideas, but also like to frequently intervene in the production.

The current person is even more outrageous. He actually wants to intervene in formulating the process and links of the variety show.

The person in charge of a movie sitting opposite was speechless: "Then if he is so capable, what kind of producer and big screenwriter should we send him? We will directly give him two or three assistants, executive, plus a few small screenwriters, and other positions will be as follows.

We need to make up for it, so we can save worry and effort."

Ah Quan looked at his colleague across from him blankly: "Yes, the cooperation method he proposed is generally such a model."

"Mo? Are you kidding?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Ah Quan calmed down and looked at the leading partner: "In addition, the Korean writer also asked to retain the complete copyright. We are only participating in the production of this online variety show."

The person in charge of the film, who is also a partner, laughed very loudly: "Are you kidding? Firstly, we can't train and run the production team, and secondly, we can't enjoy the right to receive remuneration twice. Are we really not as good as him in production?"

Is it free?

I have long said that we should not get involved in this matter. In my opinion, that writer's reputation was created by speculation. He is a comic artist and he actually wants to cross-border variety shows. He really thinks that variety show writers are so easy to become.

of."

Everyone in the conference room generally expressed similar opinions, but Ah Quan, who participated in the interview in person, seemed very confused.

After everyone gradually quieted down, he spoke: "The Korean writer agreed to uniformly replace our team's production equipment, use high-definition cameras, and increase the corresponding production fee.

In addition, he also promised to give the production team corresponding autonomy after the production model stabilizes, and at the same time, he will not exclude our subsequent use of this network to promote our performance."

Ah...this...there is such a good thing!

In the conference room, everyone's attitude changed instantly.

"It's not impossible."

"MBC refuses to increase production costs and replace high-definition equipment. It's not bad for us to use a network to practice comprehensive training."

……

Downstairs, Han Zidong started the car and slowly drove out of the parking space.

Zheng Yinghao, the co-pilot, couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked: "Do you think the production company will agree to your cooperation method?"

"Brother Yinghao, what do you think these start-up production companies need most?"

Zheng Yinghao thought for a while and replied: "It's a program with outstanding results."

"This is the common vision of some start-up companies, but for the production company Genie Picture, what they want more is to comprehensively upgrade production equipment.

I heard that their production team was very unhappy with MBC because of this matter, but in any case, MBC is very strict with their production fees, and it is almost impossible to support them in replacing new equipment."

Zheng Yinghao nodded. In their country, the separation of film and television production and broadcasting is not strict.

On the contrary, the TV station occupies the greatest dominance in production, while the production company is in a dominated position, and the production fee is determined by the TV station.

Even due to the subsequent issue of share sharing, TV stations and production companies often went to court.

"Is there such a thing? However, "Weekly Idol" is an outsourced production after all, so it's normal for MBC not to care. They don't need to use their own funds to help the Genie Picture team update."

"Your country's TV station treats the production company so arrogantly, and sooner or later it will suffer a big loss in this regard." Han Zidong said casually.

Zheng Yinghao disagreed: "You still don't quite understand the national conditions of our country. Only when television stations take the lead, and with the support of the state, can Korean dramas and Korean variety shows be better exported abroad.

Otherwise, each production company will negotiate copyright output on their own. They are small in size and have weak voices, and they have no bargaining power at all."

Han Zidong smiled and did not talk further.

Zheng Yinghao's words represent the attitude of a large part of the industry and government departments, but sir, times have changed, and there are still three years until Netflix, the evil wolf, lands.

Zheng Yinghao typed back a few business negotiation messages and asked, "You should hire a financial officer in the future. Do you want me to help introduce him?"

Han Zidong thought for a while: "On Wednesday, there is another meeting at Tumblbug. We will discuss this topic then."

After seeing off Zheng Yinghao, Han Zidong drove back to the company.

Now Idol ic Studio has five assistants, who are responsible for coloring and post-production respectively. Now he only needs to outline the line drawings and communicate with the five assistants. Compared with before, the workload has been reduced by more than half.

Sitting at his desk, checking his email, Han Zidong called Jin Minxiu.

"Minxiu, let's push back on the promotion of comics peripherals. Next, you will take charge of product placement.

Start with small scenes such as small restaurants and comic shops, and then move to daily meals, clothing and travel. Advertising cooperation with these brands can be carried out."

As the plot of Star You develops, eight main characters appear one after another, and the scene becomes more and more modern, which inevitably involves modern clothing, food, housing and transportation.

Instead of diluting the brand and wasting these precious advertising spaces, it is better to contact several businesses and try the water of embedded advertising in comics, which is to accumulate experience for subsequent website advertising placements.

Jin Minxiu quickly wrote down the key points in her notebook. Advertising placement in comics is not a new thing. According to her memory, early American comics often had food ads embedded in them. Given your current popularity, the feasibility of implanting various advertisements

Very high.

"Boss, which restaurant should we start with?"

"Come on, Zhonghua Pavilion. From now on, we will draw scenes involving Chinese restaurants according to Zhonghua Pavilion. You can take time out in the afternoon to go to Zhonghua Pavilion to take out the scenes."

"Inside."
