Perfect Life

A day ago, Huaxia TV, TV drama production center.

When Li Qian parked the car downstairs, he called Feng Yumin Ren, and then went to the security check at the door. He got the call from Feng Yumin first. Of course, he went in easily and waited for the elevator to come to the TV production. On the floor where the center is located, Feng Yumin's secretary was already waiting at the elevator exit.

When asked about Li Qian, the secretary politely took Li Qian straight to Feng Yumin's office.

Liao Liao has been here many times at Huaxia TV, but they always go to the No. 1 studio, while Qi Jie is more familiar with this place. She has been here no less than ten times in the TV production center alone, but Li Qian But it's the first time.

To a certain extent, this is also the first time he has come to the relevant "yamen".

As the helm of Huaxia TV's TV drama production center, Feng Yumin is conceivably very busy. In addition to the occasional drama where he will end up in person as a producer or director, at least a few dramas start shooting at the same time all year round. It is all up to him to serve as producer, producer, etc. In addition, for other dramas in the TV drama production center, although he is only the leader, the final film must have his nod before it is officially qualified. Understand.

The secretary knocked on the door, and after getting permission, he pushed the door and went in. Feng Yumin was on the phone, and when he looked up and saw Li Qian behind the secretary, he waved directly, motioning for Li Qian to sit down, and after saying something to the phone, he deliberately Covering the microphone, he pointed at the bookshelf in the office, and said to the secretary, "Xiao He, go and take out my can of Biluochun and pour the tea into it."

The secretary Xiao He was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and quickly agreed. He took the tea and came over. When he looked at Li Qian again, his smile became more sincere. Feng Yumin was a tea lover. Especially Biluochun, even in the office, he is unwilling to do it. But he usually entertains guests, and he has tea specially approved by the TV station. Like his own collection of Biluochun, not just any guest can drink it.

Two minutes later, when the call ended and Feng Yumin hung up, the secretary, Xiao He, had just rushed the tea, Feng Yumin got up, walked over, sat down on the sofa in the reception area, and said to him, "I Come on. If someone is looking for me outside, please block me! If you don't answer calls that are not too important, just say I'm going to review the film."

Secretary Xiao He agreed, straightened up, and nodded to Li Qian with a smile before leaving.

When he left, Feng Yumin didn't speak, just continued to make the tea, and when the tea was ready, he divided the cups. When he saw Li Qianzheng looking around, he got up and pulled out the drawer to take out the script, and smiled: "My office was the standard many years ago. It was very particular back then, but now... It's not comparable to your office. , Shabby!"

Li Qian smiled and said after a while: "But it's such a shabby office, I don't know how many people want to come in and sit for a while but can't get in! Teacher Feng, I want to lose yourself!"

Feng Yumin laughed loudly and said as he sat down, "I didn't expect that you would actually be flattering!"

Li Qian smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sniff. Then he took a sip and put down the teacup. Said: "Speaking of which, you are very particular about your life. My dad likes to drink tea. I also learned from him, and it can be regarded as a love of tea, but I just can't drink your kung fu."

Feng Yumin smiled again, not busy drinking tea, but took the book in his hand, patted it, and said earnestly: "I've read it, three times... It's a good book!" After a pause, he put down the script , took a sip from the teacup, and said again: "The actor is right, the director is right, this movie can't be wrong!"

When Li Qian heard the words, he smiled without saying a word.

When he sent someone to deliver the script, he made it clear on the phone that he wanted to make a movie, and that meant it very clearly: he wanted to produce and direct it himself.

Therefore, Feng Yumin obviously has something in his words.

Seeing that Li Qian did not continue, Feng Yumin sighed, raised his hand and rubbed the top of his head, and said, "Qian'er, I know you are studying photography, as an actor, I've seen it before, but this drama. To film it, do you know how big the investment is?"

Li Qian responded: "I haven't found anyone to make a serious estimate. I closed it myself and saved a little money. It's in the early 20s, about 30 million, and I can definitely win it."

Feng Yumin raised his head and glanced at Li Qian in surprise when he heard the words, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Let me tell you this! I do this all year round, and domestic TV dramas should have more say. Do you know how many TV dramas are put into production in China every year? More than 18,000 episodes! This is the data from last year! So, what is the average investment? On average, each episode is about a little more than 230,000."

After a pause, he said: "Of course, among these 18,000-odd episodes of TV series, there must be a limit to what can finally be broadcast on TV stations at or above the provincial level, and those shoddy films must have less investment, thus attracting It's lower than the average, but even if it can get above the provincial level, including the films broadcast by our Huaxia Channel, the average cost of an episode is about less than 400,000. Your play, the script is 32 episodes , that is to say, its cost must be controlled within the range of 12 million to 15 million, which is more reasonable. If you are a bit stingy and shoot, it will be less than 10 million, and you can win it.”

"But..." After a pause, he said: "Don't say 15 million, and don't say your 30 million, I don't know how you plan to shoot, why there is such a high budget, let's just Say 10 million... Qian'er, that's 10 million! It's not like you make an album, you can write lyrics and music, and you can arrange the music yourself, even if you rent a recording studio and record it for a month, To make an album, that’s also a limited amount of money, not counting the cost of lyrics and music, a few hundred thousand per album, it’s totally fine, even if you lose it, it’s not worth anything, but this is 10 million!”

"I know you're not short of money, Liao Liao, He Runqing, and your four beauties, all of which are big hits. You also write lyrics and songs for others, sell songs, and you also receive film and television soundtracks, of course, don't say 10 million, it is estimated that you can spend 30 to 50 million now, but, if you spend this money, do you really think you can get your money back?"

After a pause, he continued tea for Li Qian and himself, took a sip, and then said again: "I know, you learned this, love this, and want to make films by yourself, this feeling is understandable, and this dream is also worthy of support. , However, the investment in this play is too big, and ancient costumes are already expensive. You have a lot of martial arts stunt shots here, which is even more expensive! Besides, the key is that you have no previous experience at all! All of a sudden Playing so much..."

After thinking about it, he said: "Let's put it this way, if you suddenly tell me that you are going to spend 10 million to make an album, then I will tell you that it is not just me, everyone who knows you will know a little bit. Don't worry about it. Although the cost of your album is ten times or even twenty times more expensive than other people's albums, as long as you do it, everyone will believe that you must have your reasons and believe that you can do it. Spend this 10 million well, and then earn more money! But if you say you want to make TV series and movies, let me tell you, don't say 10 million, 30 million, it is 5 million, I will all I'm worried that you will lose everything!"

From the very beginning, Li Qian just listened carefully while drinking tea without interrupting a word. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing, looked up at Feng Yumin, and said with a smile, "Then what do you mean? ?"

Feng Yumin looked at him seriously when he heard the words, and said sincerely: "What I want to say is actually just one sentence: TV dramas are a deep pool of water!"

Li Qian smiled and nodded slowly.

In fact, Feng Yumin said these words, he can guess the other party's general meaning.

To invest such a large sum of money to make this movie, Li Qian must have done his homework beforehand. For the data that Feng Yumin said, he has already read the relevant information beforehand. Even because he deliberately went to see and understand, so when it comes to data, he remembers it more solidly than Feng Yumin.

In 1997, a total of 18,583 episodes of TV dramas were produced in China, with a total investment of more than 4.3 billion. Of course, this data does not include "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", that is calculated in the data of 1996, and the data of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is included, and the average single-episode data in 1996 is directly included. A lot taller.

Of course, as Feng Yumin said, about one-third of the output of such a large annual output cannot be sold even after being shot. The better ones can still recover a little of the cost by issuing vcds and video tapes. Yes, I didn't even have a chance to get the vcd out, and it was directly locked in the warehouse after it was filmed.

Although these dramas are not all low-cost investments~www.wuxiaspot.com~ there are also millions of dollars invested, and in the end, all the money is lost, but most of them are the ones that cost around 100,000, or even 580,000 episodes. of shoddy manufacture.

But even if this part of the drama is eliminated, and it is only said that the TV series that are qualified to be broadcast on major provincial TVs and even on Huaxia TV, their production cost will only be between 250,000 and 400,000 per episode. If the cost exceeds 500,000, it is a great investment - domestic TV dramas are generally between 20 and 40 episodes, and a single episode of more than 500,000 means that the cost of this drama reaches at least eight figures!

Now that the media is developed, even the production of TV dramas is often started after the project is approved. Therefore, a lot of false propaganda soon began to spread, and many production crews claimed to invest 15 million, 20 million, or even three Ten million, the slogan of "big production" doesn't want money to be thrown out desperately, as if the money invested is not enough, the play will definitely not be good... But in fact, their real production costs are often much lower than this figure.
