fantasy blockbuster era

Chapter 171 New Drama Ideas (5K)

The enthusiasm of these film and television company bosses attending the meeting was a bit beyond Zhang Yang's imagination.

A total of 41 companies participated in the conference.

After the meeting ended, 16 people went to the legal department to sign the contract.

More than ten more came that afternoon.

By the next day, I hadn’t left work yet, and all participating companies signed.

Zhang Yang counted, and Xuanyu got 41 TV dramas and 45 online movies from these 4 companies.

Three of these four movies are new movies that happen to have no extra TV series copyrights in the hands of the company, and they have just finished filming.

Originally, they wanted to go online on big platforms like Sigua, but because Zhang Yangbao's price was high enough and the contract was attractive enough, they simply sold it to Xuanhuan Video.

The remaining one is the "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" filmed by He Jie and others.

That is, with an investment of 4 million yuan, the box office was defeated by that movie.

Zhang Yang paid 3000 million plus [-]% of the on-demand fee to sign the movie.

In recent years, due to the rapid growth of the box office of Longguo movies, the copyright prices of new media platforms for movies have also risen.

At present, the copyright purchase amount of a theater movie with a box office of over 1000 million and the participation of big-name actors is more than 10 million; the copyright purchase amount of a movie with a box office of more than 5000 billion is between 6000 million and 200 million; For movies, depending on the quality of the movie, the copyright purchase amount is between [-] million and [-] million.

This "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" is a theater movie with a box office of over 10 million and with big actors participating, but the follow-up estimated box office may be close to [-] billion, so Zhang Yang gave this price.

For the other three movies, Zhang Yang's price was 300 million plus video-on-demand revenue.

This price is considered very high in online movies.

After all, the investment in these three movies is only a few million. If the on-demand situation is a little bit passable, it will be easy to pay back.

In this way, in addition to the original movie inventory, there will be four more new movies after the fantasy video is launched.
In addition, the online copyright of "Shading the Sky 1 - Journey to the Beidou" has not been sold.

Zhang Yang plans to put "Shading the Sky 1" on the fantasy video, so that the website will have 5 brand new movies. With the excellent performance of "Shading the Sky", it will definitely attract a large number of users to the website, which is enough to support the initial stage of the website. Movie categories.

As for the copyrights of those 45 TV dramas, they are all in stock, so they are put there to eat ashes.

Therefore, Zhang Yang didn't watch the films one by one, and directly bought their online broadcast copyrights at prices ranging from 50 to 200 million each.

And because most of these TV series are relatively short TV series with 12-24 episodes.

Some episodes are the standard 45 minutes per episode, some are 20 minutes, and some are short films of only about 10 minutes.

The price he gives is higher when the time is longer, and the price is naturally much lower when the time is short.

Zhang Yang spent about 8000 million on TV dramas, plus the movie expenses, the purchase of copyright this time, excluding the loss on the post-production contract, the total cost was only about 1 million.

This amount of money is a drop in the bucket compared to Xuanyu's billions of assets, but small money can do big things. After the fantasy video is launched, these dramas can support at least three rounds of broadcast frequency, at least half a year. The fantasy video will also survive the most difficult initial stage
At that time, Haihua and other film and television companies will definitely produce new dramas, and fantasy videos will reach a new height. If they find a way to acquire new dramas, they will be able to get out of Haihua and win those dramas that are not valued by Sigua. up.

Relying on the scenes shot by Zhang Yang relying on the system, the future of fantasy videos can be expected.

After a busy day, Zhang Yang was finally free to send off the last owner of the film and television company who came to sign the contract.

Although he only needs to stamp his seal and show his face, all these bosses are received by him personally, and everyone chats for a few minutes before talking dry.

After receiving the water from Lin Xiaohan, Zhang Yang sat on the office sofa and closed his eyes to rest. Lin Xiaohan helped massage behind him to relieve fatigue.

"Tired?"

Looking at Zhang Yang's tired face, Lin Xiaohan felt distressed and pressed even more attentively.

"It's nothing to be tired, as long as I hurry up and sign the contract before the watermelon reacts, I'll be relieved. Now the fantasy video will have a certain amount of capital, and I can bypass the Guapi Association and get enough film and television resources. "

Feeling the caress of the five fingers on his head, Zhang Yang closed his eyes, enjoying it quite a bit, only feeling that most of the fatigue had gone away.

"I took a look at it today, and the quality of these works is not very good. When the website is launched, will it work with them? Will the audience not like it?"

Lin Xiaohan who was behind said worriedly.

"Don't worry about this. Don't forget about me. I plan to make a few TV series before the website goes live. This is the main thing that attracts users."

"In addition, there are Wang Fei and Pei Qian. One of them went out to discuss animation copyright, and the other went out to discuss GOG's broadcasting matters. I don't know what's going on. You bring my phone and I'll call and ask."

Zhang Yang smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaohan stopped what she was doing, took out her own mobile phone from her body and handed it to Zhang Yang.

As soon as he got the phone, Zhang Yang knew it wasn't his phone, so he opened his eyes suspiciously.

Lin Xiaohan smiled sweetly.

"Use mine. The power-on password is your birthday."

Zhang Yang was taken aback.

"I told you about my birthday?"

It has been a long time since he celebrated his birthday. Every year on his birthday, there is no other ceremony except that his parents will call and say a few words of advice.

Since the two met, he remembered that he hadn't said his birthday.

"Wang Fei told me."

Lin Xiaohan explained.

It turned out to be the case.

Zhang Yang understood.

Wang Fei and him are college classmates and have a good relationship, so I still know this information.

Entering his birthday, the phone was successfully unlocked, but the background picture on the screen was actually a picture of him sleeping.

In the photo, Zhang Yang was sleeping very soundly, and he didn't know what dream he had, with a smirk on his face.

"When was this filmed?"

Lin Xiaohan blushed, and said in a low voice, "I couldn't sleep that night, so I got up and took a sneak shot."

That evening?

Oh ~
It was that night!

Zhang Yang suddenly realized, looking at her pink and tender face, he showed a smile of unknown meaning.

it is more than words.

A charming atmosphere surrounded the two of them.

Zhang Yang raised his hand around Lin Xiaohan's head, exerted a little force, and then stuck it on.

Boo boo, boo boo, boo boo~
After the sound of unknown meaning, Zhang Yang was satisfied.

"I'll teach you a lesson tonight!"

He wiped his mouth and said domineeringly.

"Hate!"

Lin Xiaohan wiped her mouth and rolled her big eyes.

Zhang Yang didn't care, he stretched out his arms and pulled her to his side, embracing her fragrant shoulders, picked up the phone with the other hand, and made a call.

After two beeps, the call was quickly connected.

The first call was to Wang Fei.

As soon as the phone was connected, the voice of 'ka' came from the opposite side, and a familiar female voice said something.

After Zhang Yang heard a few sentences, it seemed to be Tang Jing's voice.

Before he could speak, he heard that the phone seemed to be covered by someone, and the voice from the phone was very small.

I vaguely heard dog-licking words such as 'It's Lao Zhang', 'Are you tired', 'Take a rest first', 'Come and drink water'.

He suddenly remembered that Tang Jing was filming outside at this time, and it seemed that the city she was in seemed to be in the same place as the animation company Wang Fei was going to visit.

Gee!

This old king has something!
After waiting for a while, there was no sound from the microphone, so Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Pursuing public interests for personal gain, you bastard, you should still visit the class when talking about copyright!"

"What about using public interest for personal gain, don't spit blood on others! Be careful, I'll sue you for defamation!" Wang Fei coughed twice, and said seriously, "I'm working hard, and I just finished meeting the other boss."

"Then that woman just now wasn't Tang Jing? I'll make a call later and ask."

Zhang Yang made a joke on purpose.

"Can you talk about business!"

Wang Fei became angry from embarrassment: "Don't interfere with my buddy looking for a wife!"

"Hahaha."

Zhang Yang laughed out loud.

"Then let's get down to business. I've done it here, how is the animation copyright negotiation on your side?"

"I saw the news in the group."

Wang Feidao: "My place is also very smooth. Several animation companies I have contacted so far have agreed, but the price is a bit expensive, and the quality of the film is not good."

"Is that so?" Zhang Yang pondered for a while.

None of the companies that Wang Fei visited were big companies in the animation industry.

There are a few small studios that are even just start-ups, with a dozen or so employees. It is normal that the quality of the film is not excellent.

Didn’t you see, in the previous life, there were many people chasing the drama “Three-Body Problem” at Bilibili in the previous life?
The same is true for the people of the Dragon Kingdom in this world.

They still have a high tolerance for animation. In some so-called 3D animations, the character models are so stiff that people can watch them. As long as the plot is not mentally handicapped, it is completely acceptable.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang said sternly: "The price is not a problem. We are a new platform after all. As long as the quality is decent, a slight premium is acceptable. It's the plot. In your opinion, what is it? bridge?"

Wang Fei thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's all normal plots, nothing."

"That's good!" Zhang Yang made a final decision: "The more expensive it is, the more expensive it is, as long as the plot is passable, I will take it!"

"That's good. With your words, it can be done within a week at most." Wang Fei was full of confidence: "Wait for my news, and then you can come and sign the contract."

The second call was to Pei Qian.

As soon as the phone was connected, Zhang Yang heard enthusiastic cheers, accompanied by 'come on' and a male voice roaring passionately!

Male voice: "Like a demon descended from the sky, he is really the god of Tai Sui in the world, this Modeste."

Female voice: "Awesome!"

It's very loud on the microphone.

After Pei Qian connected, he said loudly: "Mr. Zhang, wait a minute, I'll talk to you in another place."

Zhang Yang waited patiently.

After a few minutes, the noisy voice on the other end of the phone finally disappeared.

Pei hid in the toilet cubicle, smiled dryly at the phone and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't get me wrong. I was just inspecting the live game of the GOG League to see what's going on. I definitely didn't work hard!"

Coming to Tengda's side, Pei Qian was warmly received by his cousin.

In the past two days, I ate and drank a lot at the unknown restaurant, and watched several games, and I almost couldn't think of leaving.

Just when I was watching the game, I suddenly received a call from Zhang Yang, and I broke out in a cold sweat. I didn't want to answer it, but I accidentally bumped into it.

Taking advantage of the time to find a place to make a phone call, he came up with such an excuse.

He was a little scared in his heart, after all, Xuanyu was really the best company he had ever worked for, and he really didn't want to leave.

While he was waiting in fear.

Zhang Yang said the first sentence.

Zhang Yang said sadly: "Why do you think of me so much? Mr. Pei? I have seen with my own eyes your serious and responsible work attitude. Even if I am lazy, you will never be lazy!"

"Ah? Is that so?"

Pei Qian felt guilty.

[Have I taken serious responsibility? 】

"Of course! You don't draw the curtains in the office, so that all employees can see that you are working hard, and the work attitude of setting an example is worth learning from Xuanyu!"

I obviously did it so that no one would suspect what I was doing behind closed doors.

The more dangerous the place, the safer it is!
The more upright it is, the less likely it will arouse suspicion!
Although he felt that his boss might have misunderstood him, Pei Qian immediately followed his words and continued speaking righteously.

"Of course, as a qualified manager, the only way to drive subordinates is by setting an example. This is the basic condition that every manager should possess!"

"well said!"

Pei Qian's words really touched Zhang Yang's heart.

With Xuanyu's current scale, he sees people taking fish every day at work. Although he knows it's human nature, he still feels dissatisfied occasionally.

If the managers of each department were like Pei Qian, why would Xuanyu not be able to dominate the film and television industry in Longguo?Still need to nest in the small Haihua City?
Relying on the system every day is difficult to survive?

snort!
Zhang Yang sneered disdainfully.

If Quanxuanyu is a talent like Mr. Pei, he dares to yell, even if there is no system, Xuanyu is the most awesome company!

Pei Qian alone is better than thousands of troops!

If it's all Pei Qian, what's the point of mere four melons?
Too bad there is no if!

There is only one Pei Qian in the whole world!
Zhang Yang is very sorry.

With great difficulty, he suppressed the passion in his heart and calmed down his emotions.

"Let's not talk about that. Mr. Pei, how is the GOG broadcast rights going? Have you met with your cousin?"

"See you. The negotiation on the broadcast went smoothly. The annual broadcast of daily games is 5000 million yuan per year, and the contract is signed every year. But my cousin said that he supports me, which is 2000 million yuan cheaper."

Although he was wandering outside, Pei Qian still remembered the business. He had talked with his cousin when he first came to Tengda.

"One hundred and six million?"

Zhang Yang pondered for a moment.

Although it is a daily league, thanks to the huge traffic that GOG has in China at this time, the price is simply too cheap.

Just the GOG broadcast alone can easily bring millions of new users to the fantasy video.

"That's it, I'll take some time to sign the contract."

Zhang Yang made a final decision.

"Also, can the broadcast time be extended? Three years to five years is not too much, and eight years to ten years is not too little!"

Based on the experience of more than ten years of popular LOL in the previous life, the newly launched GOG in this world can be popular for at least ten years.

If you can win GOG's daily league broadcast contract every year, it means that Fantasy Video can attract millions of users every year. If it is really negotiated for several years, a few hundred million is nothing.

It's a pity that Pei Qian's answer made him very regretful.

"There is no way, Tengda Group has set a contract that can only be signed once a year, even my cousin can't get involved."

"Ok."

Zhang Yang could only let go of this thought.

"You make an appointment with Tenda and let me know. I will fly over to sign the contract then."

hang up the phone.

Zhang Yang had a smile on his face.

All the anime and event broadcasts have been negotiated, and the preparations for Haihua's TV dramas and fantasy videos are only up to him.

The system has two investment quotas, plus himself, there are three big dramas.

As for what to shoot for these three spots, he already has an idea.

Of these three plays, the first one is the TV series version of "Shading the Sky".

As a full-length fantasy novel, "Shading the Sky" has several million words, and the movie version only filmed a part of the early stage, and many contents were not mentioned.

When the movie version was launched, some people said that the biggest flaw of the movie version of "Shading the Sky" is that the plot is a little unclear. Some viewers who watched carefully, after deliberating the movie plot, found that many places were very vague.

The original party also regrets some scenes that were not filmed in the early stage of the original text, and the voice of the drama version of "Shading the Sky" has always been very high.

This time Zhang Yang is going to put one of the three dramas on the TV series "Shading the Sky".

Shooting season after season, launching season after season, until the finale!

At the same time, in some key battle scenes, he can direct and shoot the movie version himself, and even for some characters with more roles in the original work, he can also appear in a personal special.

For example, characters like Ruthless Emperor, Jiang Taixu, and Emperor Qing.

This combination of TV series, movies and individual character films can restore the original novel to the greatest extent possible and create the "Shadow" universe.

At the same time, it will definitely bring the audience the greatest viewing enjoyment!

He also has an idea for the director of the drama version of "Shading the Sky"!

It's Hu Kaitian!
Speaking of Hu Kaitian, he personally met him last year when Xigua Video participated in the summit planning meeting.

At that time, the two chatted very happily, and discussed in depth their respective thoughts on the classification of Dragon Kingdom martial arts and fantasy film and television. When it came to rising, Hu Kaitian also offered to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

Moreover, Hu Kaitian himself is also a lover of martial arts and fantasy culture, and he likes this kind of drama very much.

Since the first film, he has made many similar films.

When we first met, Hu Kaitian's "Zhang Sanfeng" won a box office of one billion and won many film awards.

But Zhang Yang didn't hear from him this year, and he seemed to have disappeared.

Although the two had left their contact information, they didn't have much contact. Apart from sending text messages to wish them well during the holidays, they didn't say much.

Zhang Yang is not sure whether the other party will accept the filming.

However, he himself has other arrangements. Hu Kaitian is also a serious lover of martial arts fantasy culture, and has the intention to cooperate and has directing experience. Filming the drama version of "Shading the Sky" is not a big problem!
