Chapter 387: "Slaying the Wolf 2" and "Langya Bang"
Li Xiuyan stared at the three big characters on the cover, and said with some disbelief, "Your vision is really strange, so many scripts can't get into your eyes, so why don't you choose one that doesn't have a script yet?"
"What do you mean?" Li Xianzhe was stunned, could it be that the appearance of this thing deviated from the timeline in his memory?
Seeing him so stunned, Li Xiuyan smiled a little embarrassedly, "This was given to me by my father before, and he gave me this after knowing that I was going to start a showbiz career with you in China, and said it was a good work, you know that my father has never given things casually, I thought my father was hinting at me something, so when I went on a business trip to China before, I went to Chengdu by the way, and took the copyright of the adaptation from this author." ”
Li Xianzhe's eyelids jumped: "How much did you spend?"
"After all, it's the Internet, and when the trend of online adaptation and filming into dramas rose last year, the copyright fee was only one million.
Besides, this book was released a little early.,07When it came out,,The Internet hasn't become the mainstream like it is now.,What's more, the classification of this book is still in the female frequency area on the first website.,Although the evaluation is very high.,The results are really bleak.。
The real expensive thing is in other aspects, the investment team below helped me make a rough budget table, counting other various expenses, if you really want to shoot this, the cost will definitely not be less than 100 million. ”
100 million, this price is really a little cheap in Li Xianzhe's opinion, and this is still a costume drama, when it was broadcast, the lines and costumes in it were widely praised by the ancient etiquette crew.
Fortunately, now the most important thing has been held in his hands, and Li Xianzhe breathed a long sigh of relief, "Anyway, since we have won this book, even if it costs more money, we must shoot it well." ”
The more confident he looked, the more interested Li Xiuyan felt, "You are so determined, I haven't seen you for a long time, so optimistic about this drama?" This is not very famous on the Internet, you shoot "Steep Break" or "Steep Luo" I think it is better than this, and even if you prepare now, the current policy and timing may not be good for us." ”
Li Xianzhe was stunned for a moment, and suddenly slapped his head, in private, he would pay attention to the news of the entertainment industry in Huaxia almost every day, and learn about some policies issued from time to time, and Li Xiuyan's reminder and hesitation are not unreasonable.
First of all, Huaxia's policy and timing of costume dramas and other factors can be summarized to involve two core points: one is the "one drama and two stars" of the new policy; The second is the "costume drama quota" policy.
On April 15 of this year, that is, a month ago, the above TV drama broadcast work conference was held and announced that starting from January 1, 2015, they will adjust the broadcast method of satellite TV comprehensive channels, night prime time, and film and television dramas.
The specific content includes: the same TV series must not be simulcast in prime time every night on more than two comprehensive channels, and the same TV series must not be broadcast in prime time on satellite TV comprehensive channels more than two episodes per night.
The most direct impact of the new policy is that "one drama with four stars" has become "one drama with two stars", and a TV series can only be broadcast on two satellite TVs at most during prime time. As a result, Satellite TV chose to reduce the cost of buying dramas, reduce the number of dramas, and turn its energy to variety shows. In this way, the copyright income of the TV series will inevitably be affected.
According to Li Xianzhe and Li Xiuyan's knowledge of the change process of costume dramas, the producers and review agencies are very strict in reviewing the scripts, and costume dramas involve historical and other factors, so they must pay more attention to it.
And according to Li Xiuyan's estimate, the work in their hands will be adapted into the form of a script, at least three months, and at most six months, and the earliest will start filming at the end of this year, and it will be completed in the first half of next year.
After that, what needs to be discussed is the broadcast platform, and Li Xianzhe is not worried about the network, but in terms of TV stations, whether it is "a drama and several stars", even if they try their best to broadcast before the implementation of the new policy, they will still be subject to the "costume drama quota" policy.
In the face of Li Xiuyan's worries, Li Xianzhe smiled, although it seemed that he was restricted, but he knew that it was also from this time that the online platform began to rise.
"Don't worry about this, although since 2011, the domestic network has begun to blossom on the screen, and more and more costume dramas are adapted from popular networks. From a certain point of view, works with an audience base are successful "IP", which reduces the risk of production and distribution.
In 2014, online copyright gradually evolved into the concept of the word "IP", which includes the intellectual property rights of copyright, trademark rights, and patent rights, and has also become the object of contention between major film and television companies and the game industry. It's not a bad decision for you to take the rights to this book. ”
Li Xiuyan spread his hands and looked helpless, "However, since 13 years, the above has issued a restriction order in response to the trend of the heating and spread of costume dramas, and a document stipulates that the film and television dramas broadcast by major TV stations and prime time shall not exceed 15% of the total number of episodes broadcast in the prime section of the TV station and comprehensive channel in the end. ”
Li Xianzhe pinched the small cup, blew the heat on it and said, "I know what you mean, let's settle the account, now we all know that every TV station, the prime time of the channel dedicated to broadcasting TV dramas is 7 o'clock in the evening to 10 o'clock in the evening, and the number of TV drama episodes normally broadcast during this time period of the week is 19 episodes, and after a rough year, the maximum number of TV dramas broadcast by a single satellite TV in prime time is about 988 episodes.
According to the calculation that the number of costume dramas shall not exceed 15% of the total, the number of costume TV dramas broadcast by a single satellite TV in prime time is about 148 episodes.
Under the new policy of "one drama and two stars", a single satellite TV prime time can digest up to 110 episodes of costume dramas. This also means that if quantified by the standard of a 50-episode costume drama, the number of costume dramas that a single satellite TV can digest during prime time every year is only a little more than 2.
In this way, we can't expect it to be broadcast on first-line satellite TV, but we can't sell what we produce to second- and third-tier satellite TV, in the end, our biggest reliance is only on the network platform, and the top TV station, although that TV station is not as popular as the toilet station, but at least it can win a little reputation, but I have a lot of information about the shooting of this book, the key is to be able to broadcast, as long as it is broadcast, there will be word-of-mouth spread, and it will be successful. ”
Li Xiuyan nodded, "So we can only focus on moving away from the online platform for broadcasting?" It's just that without the help of the TV station, isn't it a little...."I want to talk about "My Girlfriend is an Idol" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
