Chapter 179 Waterloo? (3/5)
Zhang Hongzhen…
I just wanted to add money to Mango TV and Leshi.com, but I didn't expect the other party to react so fiercely...
Zhang Hongzhen: "I lost more than 200 million yuan in one go!"
Lu Xiaoran frowned: "That's Mango TV. Didn't you negotiate with the film purchasing department?"
Zhang Hongzhen's expression was a little awkward...
It was clear that he contacted other TV stations with Mango TV on his back, or other TV stations took the initiative to contact him...
"This is the project of "Hunting Ground", the scheduled drama king!"
If I changed to other TV series, maybe I'll just let it go...
The drama king...
Let's put it this way, the 2018 drama king "Beijing People and the New Yorker" online copyright was sold for 15 million yuan, with a total of 80 episodes of 1.2 billion yuan, and the TV copyright was 25 million yuan per episode, with a total of 2 billion yuan.
The total copyright of the TV network end was sold for 3.2 billion yuan.
This is two years later, and there is no comparison. Let’s take a look at the announcement issued by Ciwen Media last month: In September 2016, Ciwen Media announced that it would sell the exclusive right of the first round of TV broadcast of a contemporary urban drama to Mango TV, with a price of up to 3.84 yuan - "Liangsheng, can we not be sad"...
However, online broadcast copyright, the three major video websites, have set a single episode of 15 million!
384 million + 800 million are close to 1.2 billion...
In the past two years, with the successful exploration of video websites' over-reliance on top content and member payment models, the online selling price of top content has begun to soar, ten times or even dozens of times that of previous ones. The most sensational event at that time was 5 million yuan in a single episode of "Old Nine Gate", which was considered a landmark event in the online drama payment model and online copyright.
Once the wild horse breaks out of its reins, it can no longer be held back.
From then on, the competition for video websites began to compete for prices, and see who has the best ability to get the highest price - the copyright of "The Untamed" single episode exceeded 10 million!
That's right, it's "Secret Pictures" by "Secret Pictures" in "The Fragrance Blooms in the Cold Winter Month, and the Flowers on the Other Side Blooms!"
The card face of "Hunting Ground" is no worse than "Search"!
Of course, Zhang Hongzhen felt that he was losing money...
"... Actually, you can only sue Leshi.com, they really have no money... Mango TV, it's better not to mess with..."
"I know... By the way, "The Great Wall" was released first in the United States?"
"right."
"Why release it in the United States first?"
"Disney is first released. If it is released as planned, the global box office will be lost at least half of the time..."
"I don't understand the movies either, but you must have your reasons for doing this!"
Lu Xiaoran changed the topic: "...Brother Zhang, I actually like the 'Yan Shuangying' series!"
Zhang Hongzhen smiled bitterly: "...But Yan Qiu and Zijian don't want to play anymore,"
Zhang Zijian, Liang Guanhua, Qian Yanqiu, and the trio created the trilogy of "Detective Di Renjie" and the six-part "Yan Shuangying"...
Get tired of playing!
Zhang Hongxiao sighed: "It's hard to shoot anti-Japanese dramas now!"
"Yes, people are increasingly unable to tolerate the use of realistic techniques to express the War of Resistance. Art, it is not necessary to be a true reflection of history. It is also possible to use romantic and humorous techniques..."
"The main reason is that there are too many thunder dramas during this period..."
The Yan Shuangying series is also considered a thunder drama in a sense, but... as long as you watch it, you will feel good!
The ubiquitous desire to promote first and suppress the show, the most extreme show, the purest enjoyment...
Zhang Hongzhen: "Okay, I'll just complain to you. You're very busy, let's go first!"
"...Brother Zhang, let me introduce Lao Zeng to you. He is very familiar with several senior executives of Mango TV. I ask him to help you thread and build a bridge..."
Zhang Hongzhen looked at Lu Xiaoran seriously: "Thank you!"
"…You're welcome!"
...
The entertainment industry is actually divided into different levels. Those who shoot theater movies are not as good as those who shoot online!
Similarly, those who make movies may not actually be watching TV series.
Zhang Hongzhen’s Dongyang Qingyu has basically relied on Qian Yanqiu’s “Shuangying Eagles” in recent years. Jiang Wei’s cycle is too slow. Lu Xiaoran is already a world-renowned director, and he still has only two or three works...
Anyway, he is not in a hurry, he has a job to do it!
He is the producer of "Beijing Meets Seattle"...
Therefore, "Hunting Ground" can be sold at the beginning of filming!
This matter has little to do with Lu Xiaoran. In "Hunting Ground", Orange did not participate in the investment. Zhang Hongzhen probably couldn't think of a solution and made an appointment with Lu Xiaoran...
Lao Lu is very grateful to Zhang Hongzhen!
Back then in "The Hidden", Zhang Hongzhen trusted him very much and asked a novice in his twenties to serve as the deputy director, screenwriter and starring the crew!
Although the two sides have almost broken off contact in recent years, there is still friendship...
So, he helped...
This matter is easy to deal with. As long as Mango TV does not pursue it, a simple shaky joyful video will not do anything to Zhang Hongzhen...
Lu Xiaoran introduced Zeng Guangxian to Zhang Hongzhen, which actually meant helping...
...
Zhang Hongzhen left, and Lu Xiaoran looked at the "Dingfengbo·Don't Listen to the sound of leaves hitting through the forest" hanging on the wall of Tingyu Pavilion: Don't Listen to the sound of leaves hitting through the forest, why not sing and whistle and walk slowly. Bamboo sticks and straw shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A raincoat can last for the rest of your life.
Very touching!
Who is afraid? Let the rain be with you forever!
During this period, there are many rumors in the industry about "The Great Wall", which are mostly unsightly - "Warcraft" has failed miserably, can "The Great Wall" still cause trouble?
Playing a joint film between China and the United States, Huayi is actually the first company, "Kung Fu King"...
Although Huayi did not lose money, "Kung Fu King" ended the living space of Chinese Kung Fu celebrities in North America...
Li Lianjie + Cheng Long + Robert Mingkov, none of them met expectations...
Robert Minkov, a well-known Hollywood...animation director, directed "The Lion King" and "The Elf Mouse"...
Hua Yi also participated in "Warcraft" in depth.
So, they are happy to see the Great Wall defeat!
Other companies in the industry…
It is basically a pleasure to see "The Great Wall" failing - Oranges dominate the world, which has long been dissatisfied!
It's best to make "The Great Wall" the Waterloo of Orange...
‘The big old man defeated Dama City, and Lu Xiaoran dreamed of shattering the Great Wall’…
It's quite rhyme!
These people pay more attention to the reputation and box office of "The Great Wall" than Lu Xiaoran...
On Rotten Tomatoes, "The Great Wall" is currently fresh at 72%, with an average score of 6.9/10 for professionals and an average score of 3.9/5 for audiences.
Imdb score, "Great Wall" has a rating of 7.3/10, while on the professional rating website MTC, "Great Wall" has a rating of 58/100…
Overall, it is a popcorn movie of medium or higher!
As for how many box offices can be won...
This day is not over yet, no one dares to be sure!
But many self-media have already said that "The Great Wall" may fail," and have compiled a lot of reasons, such as: the October market has never been very high; Americans do not care about "The Great Wall", and even talk about "The Great Wall"...
Want to be the prophecy emperor!
