Entertainment: My predecessor is a diva and my current boss is a boss

Chapter 382 The Originator of Idol Soap Operas, Li Changan

The entire meeting lasted nearly three hours. Su Han sat at the top and talked eloquently, handling the company's affairs in an orderly manner.

What surprised Li Changan was that it took so long and such a cumbersome thing to involve a lot of himself.

Su Han didn't even give him a chance to have a face-to-face conversation.

The most amazing thing is that there are so many people here, whether it is the mature and prudent Luo Cheng'an, or the careful Feng Qiuyun, even Xu Wen, they didn't even notice a single person, and she didn't even pay attention to herself the whole time.

Such an awesome thing, Su Han, how did you do it?
After meeting all morning, Li Changan was as dispensable as a piece of air in her eyes.

"Okay, let's end today's meeting here. After everyone goes back, take up all your responsibilities, and let's adjourn the meeting!"

Until Su Han announced the end of the meeting, Li Changan, who was treated specially, didn't find a chance to speak in a daze.

It seems that if you want to coax her well this time, you have a long way to go.

Li Changan wasn't very worried, after all, it was normal for husband and wife to quarrel.

And it's not a matter of principle, it's just that Su Han got jealous and lost his temper.

After a while, be careful with yourself, and you should be forgiven.

It's just that recently, the treatment of living in a guest room probably cannot be changed.

Back in his office, before Li Changan could sit on the chair, Xu Wen followed him in with a blank expression.

"Director Li, since Mr. Su has entrusted us with the responsibility of selling the first-round screening rights of [The Legend of the Desert Heroes], I think it is necessary for us to communicate."

"Yes, yes, director Xu thinks the first round of screening rights should be sold at what price is appropriate?"

Xu Wen sat down on the sofa unceremoniously, pondered for a while and said:

"The budget of [The Legend of the Desert Heroes] is not low, and with the introduction of Hongkang martial arts guidance, the company has invested about 8000 million before and after!"

8000?
Xu Wen, you really don't feel bad for selling your father's land. 8000 million came out of your mouth, which is an understatement like 8000 yuan.

When I shot Meteor Garden, the total investment was only 2000 million.

For "My Sassy Girlfriend", the investment was only 3000 million.

Co-authoring your old drama is almost double the investment of my two dramas!

This is not counting the film and television authorization of the original work.

If I wasn't the original author, wouldn't your investment in this film exceed [-] million yuan?

Calculated in this way, the sum of my three film and television dramas does not cost as much as one of your TV dramas.

If you lose money, you and Li Hongxiu are going to work for Melting Point Media for the rest of your life to pay off your debts.

"Director Xu, I'm in France these days, and I don't know much about the domestic situation. You should first tell me about the price inquiry situation in the early stage of [Legend of the Desert Heroes]."

"Ask the price?" A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Xu Wen's face:

"Up to now, I haven't received any offer from any satellite TV."

What?
Li Changan was stunned.

He also encountered the situation when no one offered an offer when he was filming [Meteor Garden].

But can [Desert Heroes] compare with [Meteor Garden]?

It is a TV series adapted from a popular book, and it has its own traffic.

Moreover, it is a super-big production with a price of more than [-] million yuan, and it also has the fame bonus of Xu Wen, the first brother of the director of Dalongguo.

I was just a fledgling singer at the time, and it was understandable that others didn't know the details, so I couldn't believe it.

It's a bit weird that you don't have an offer.

"Director Xu..." Li Changan tapped his left hand on the desk a few times regularly, and said after deliberation:
"This shouldn't be the case. Not to mention the topics and traffic that [The Legend of the Desert Heroes] comes with, even if you Xu Wen's fame, the scenes you filmed will not reach the point where no one cares about them."

Xu Wen shook his head and sighed:
"Dragon Kingdom's martial arts film market has been sluggish in the past few years. Many satellite TV stations spent a lot of money, but the ratings were too low. Advertisers lost confidence and stopped investing. Losing too much money made them timid, afraid of repeating the same mistakes."

Li Changan frowned:
"If this is the only reason, it can only be said that these satellite TV executives are choking and giving up food."

"Of course it's more than that!" Xu Wen's expression contained dissatisfaction with Li Changan:
"In the past six months, South Korea has filmed a lot of fast-food idol dramas, which have hit the domestic market in large numbers!"

Li Chang'an is a little puzzled, South Korean idol dramas have crowded the market, so you don't need to be angry with me!

Xu Wen said with a sullen face:

"Director Li, speaking of the origin of these soap operas in South Koryo, it was your [Meteor Garden] copycat."

day!
Li Changan stood up from his chair and said angrily:
"These South Korea people are shameless, stealing my idea, have you paid the franchise fee?"

He finally knew the source of Xu Wen's dissatisfaction with him.

It turned out to be from South Korea. Seeing the popular youth idol dramas such as "Meteor Garden" and "My Sassy Girlfriend" I filmed, I immediately imitated the example, found a group of artificial handsome men and women, and started the road to copycats .

Needless to say, once this kind of idol drama based on appearance was launched, it was immediately welcomed by all countries in the pan-East Asian cultural circle.

Now even the directors of Dongying, Siam, and Annan are changing their styles and starting to shoot some unnutritious soap operas.

What Li Changan didn't know was that in South Korea, where idol dramas started the first time, young directors had already regarded him as the originator of soap operas.

Many media universities even took Li Changan's two film and television dramas as a model to explain.

It can be said that Li Changan's style has become an object of imitation in South Korea.

Well, it's just a matter of placing a memorial tablet and enshrining Director Li Da on the shrine, worshiping three times in the morning and evening!
Many young directors regard him as an idol.

Li Changan's status in South Koryo was even several times higher than that of Dalong Kingdom.

Under the impact of cheap soap operas, it is understandable for local directors like Xu Wen to be dissatisfied with Li Changan.

Because it was him who taught South Koreans to squeeze the market with low-cost idol dramas.

Anger is anger, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, Li Changan and Xu Wen really have nothing to do with the South Koreans.

People just copied your creativity, and everything else is completely different.

No matter how standardized the copyright protection is, there is no way to settle accounts with them.

"Damn it, if I knew this earlier, I would never sell [Meteor Garden] to these shameless South Koreans."

It's useless to scold now, I can only find a way to compete with these cheap soap operas.

Li Changan scratched his head in embarrassment, Xu Wen didn't wrong him this time, I really deserve the blame.

He gave a dry laugh and made a haha:
"That director Xu, it's useless even if you kill me now, let's study how to make a gimmick and push [The Legend of the Desert Heroes] out."
