The days of filming in Azure Star

Chapter 155 Video Website
Tang Bao immediately called Dong Hao to congratulate him.

When Dong Hao received Tang Bao's call, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

He originally thought that with his performance, it would be easy to win an award at a domestic film festival.

But he didn't expect that he would rely on such an award.

Realized the ultimate dream of all actors and won the Oscar statuette.

Tang Bao's voice came from Dong Hao's ears:

"Teacher Dong, congratulations! This is the only one in the country!"

What Tang Bao said is indeed correct. For so many years in China, he has only won awards such as the best foreign language film.

Most are still nominations.

Therefore, this award won by Dong Hao is the first award in China, and it has great historical significance and commemorative value.

Dong Hao was very humble in front of Tang Bao: "Director Tang, I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity! Without you, how could I win the award? This is the result of the hard work of all the crew!"

Tang Bao said: "I just want to thank you, it is you who can perfectly interpret this role!"

After exchanging blows, the two sides hung up the phone.

Dong Hao was a little bit sad, he didn't get what he dreamed of, but it came so suddenly.

Sure enough, like happiness, it will quietly come to you.

When Tang Bao refused to join the crew of "Extreme Thief", Dong Hao felt quite uncomfortable.

How can I say that I am also a senior, so I lowered my value to find Tang Bao to make a movie, but was rejected.

But now, Dong Hao is just glad that he didn't fall out with Tang Bao because of the casting of "Extreme Thief".

It was also because of this audition that Dong Hao finally met Tang Bao and had the opportunity to shoot a movie this time.

Those who work hard should have such good luck!
Compared with Dong Hao's relief, Zhang Tianwang's complexion was as bright as barbecue sauce.

How would he know that this movie actually had a Jedi counterattack at the end.

I won this award, and what I said before instantly became a clown.

This disgrace, I, King Guo, have recorded it!

Fortunately, there are still a group of netizens who insist that even if they win the award, it is because of the foreign things they filmed.

This group of people clamored why Tang Bao didn't take pictures of Huaxia's local stuff.

If they can win a prize like this, then they will be convinced.

Of course, no one on the Internet now says this movie is bad.

Awards like the Oscars are recognized.

If you think it doesn’t look good, it must be because your aesthetics are not high enough.

Normal people will be moved by what this movie tells, aren't you?

The scores on Douban also rose from the original just above the passing line.

It turned out that many users who scored low scores silently changed their reviews to high scores.

The reviews of the whole movie have been mixed from the original praise to the direction of praise.

Generally speaking, because of the film's award-winning relationship, the domestic trend has also changed very quickly.

Everyone wants to see what kind of movie this movie can win an Oscar.

However, after checking on the Internet, "Big Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door", which was released only two weeks ago, was taken off the shelves at some point.

Many netizens are curious about this movie, but they are unable to see it.

They all complained about missing such a good movie.

But fortunately, there are still video websites to play in the future.

Tomato is currently the largest platform for free playback software on the market.

On this platform, bloggers will upload some small videos, variety shows and other videos.

But when it comes to pay-per-view websites, all major David TVs have launched their own apps one after another.

If you want to see the content we produce, yes, you can pay for membership.

Copyright in this world is very complicated.

Each of the different types of copyright will have a different number of years.

Simply put, it is 10 years for movies, 5 years for TV, and 3 years for variety shows.

After exceeding this number of years, Tomato.com can directly include related movies and TV shows.

Of course, the generated clicks will still be shared with the producer according to the algorithm.

Tomato.com is the largest official video website in China.

Of course, if your work is not available for purchase on major platforms, you can upload it directly to Tomato.com.

Although Tomato.com won't give you income directly, every time the video is played.

It will generate a profit for the creator.

Like the current platform, after discovering that purchasing film and television works cannot achieve a balance of payments.

They have embarked on the road of self-made film and television.

The platform is very complex.

There are more than a dozen large and small.

And [Orange Light Entertainment] also wants to get a share of this after entering the film and television industry.

But because there are too few works available.

Temporarily no action.

But now that Tang Bao's movie is so popular, many people want to watch this movie, but there is no place to watch it, so they started to think about it.

Find Tang Bao and ask if you can license the copyright of the movie to them.

Tang Bao didn't care at first.

But when I thought of my mission, I felt that I could earn a little more.

So when Xiao Yuntian came to the door, he asked Xiao Yuntian:
"How much does the company plan to pay for the copyright of the movie?"

Xiao Yuntian was dumbfounded for a moment, but he still had to say: "Tang Bao, you know that the company has been relatively difficult recently. So I hope you can authorize your work to us first, as you know. We sure as hell can't afford to lose your share of the money."

Tang Bao recognized this point.

Moreover, the company has been making continuous moves in the past six months.I do spend a lot of money on cash.

Tang Bao also knew.

But the matter of whoring for nothing, I still feel a little unacceptable in my heart.

But due to the relationship with the company, he suggested: "I know that the company also wants to set up its own video playback platform."

"Ma Zhenyu also told me before that if you want to take my work, it's not impossible, but I require a part of the shares in it."

Xiao Yuntian immediately said: "As long as you authorize all your future works to our platform, it is natural to give you shares!"

Tang Bao didn't expect Xiao Yuntian to agree to him so easily.

It's not easy for him to say something he doesn't want to say now.

"Since Mr. Xiao is so straightforward, how do you think about the arrangement of this share?"

Mr. Xiao made some calculations and said, "In the future, this platform will also be one of the company's key projects, but because of my relationship with you, I can decide to give you [-]% of the shares!"

Ten percent of the shares of a video site.

It can be seen that Xiao Yuntian is very sincere.

But this seemed a little unfair to Tang Bao.

Because in the future, relying on the system, he must have a high output.

But now I can't tell others that I have a system.

After thinking about it for a while, Tang Bao said to Xiao Yuntian: "I hope I can take up more shares, and the name of the shares is not me but my studio."

"Regarding cooperation, I think I can spend part of the funds to form a video website with the company. In the future, my studio will provide high-quality film and television works to the platform."

Xiao Yuntian frowned and thought for a while: "You set up your own studio and have your own ideas. I have no objection to this, but what percentage of shares are you going to take in this new video platform?"

Tang Bao gave Xiao Yuntian a serious analysis: "In today's market, Mr. Xiao, you also know that the price of buying out film and television works is too high. At present, we still have to focus on self-control."

"So what are the contents of the video playback platform? That is movies, variety shows, and TV dramas. These three major sectors."

"Here, I can promise Mr. Xiao. My studio will produce more than 3 films above the passing line every year in the future, and may occasionally make some TV series."

"As for the variety show and the content of filling the video website, I leave it to the company. So I think we can do it at a ratio of 4:6 in terms of capital contribution and shareholding. Of course, the company takes the bulk."

Xiao Yuntian smiled wryly.

"Tang Bao, I won't say much about my relationship with you. But I can tell you clearly now that your proposal is impossible."

"You know, all the company's early shares are the most valuable. If you want to leave 4% at once, the company will not agree."

Xiao Yuntian very much hoped to reach a cooperation with Tang Bao, and continued to persuade him: "The video website needs to be filled with a lot of content, and it is completely impossible to meet the company's needs with the output of a small studio like yours."

"CVs on websites take a lot of effort from companies to populate. So, I hope you're thinking about it."

"Whether it's your people or your studio, as long as you sign a contract with our platform, I'm here to let you down, at least [-]% of the shares will definitely be given to you! Don't worry about this, this is my Xiao Yuntian's right you said."

Tang Bao secretly sighed, he also understood what Xiao Yuntian meant.

But he didn't understand that Tang Bao, who owns the system, must be a huge movie output machine after the cash flows in the future.

With such good conditions, how could Tang Bao be willing to only want [-]-[-]% of the shares?

Even if it's 4%, it's only after looking at the long-term friendship with the company that he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

It seems that this issue cannot be reconciled now.

Tang Bao politely rejected Xiao Yuntian's request.

Xiao Yuntian has been in contact with Tang Bao for so long, and he also knows Tang Bao's character, so he will not make some changes when he has decided on something.

Immediately, he also sighed: "I'll go back and ask the directors of the company. I can't decide on this matter anymore."

Tang Bao was also very moved that Xiao Yuntian had achieved this level, and he sincerely expressed his respect to Xiao Yuntian.

"Mr. Xiao, I really appreciate your kindness, thank you. No matter what happens in the future, you are my friend of Tang Bao."

Xiao Yuntian smiled and left Tang Bao's place.

After Xiao Yuntian left, Tang Bao fell into deep thought.

What should I do with my own movie?
Within six months of a movie being released, you can choose to upload it to a video website for screening.

Because of its special composition mode, movies are different from TV dramas.

The general income of TV series is that after the production is completed, they are sold to various David TV and major platforms, and rely on selling copyrights to recover their own funds.

But movies can be realized in the same way as the big screen.

So in the circle, although there is no explicit regulation, in terms of rating, movies are higher than TV dramas.

If it is said that TV dramas are entertainment items to pass the time after gossip and dinner.

The film course is equivalent to a combination of various arts.

Therefore, the investment income of movies is also different from that of TV series.

What the investor of the TV series earns is a copyright fee from the sale.

And the investors of the movie earn the income from the big screen.

The income of the investor is completely linked to the box office.

Or if the movie forms a certain amount of peripherals, the investor will also get part of the proceeds.

But as far as the copyright of the movie is concerned, it belongs to the production team.

In other words, if the film copyright is sold, the investor cannot get this part of the proceeds.

What they get is only the box office revenue on the big screen.

Of course, if the investor is both investment and production, then such a situation does not exist.

Copyright inherently belongs to him.

Just like a movie directed by Tang Bao.

Except for "The Great Wall" whose copyright was sold before, according to the process, the copyright of the other three movies belongs to Tang Bao six months after it is released on the big screen.

As a screenwriter, director and investor.

According to the flow of this world, there is no doubt that the final film belongs to Tang Bao.

Tang Bao has the right to decide which side the copyright is on.

It has been almost half a year since "Youth Party" was released.

The time limit is about to be reached.

Almost at the time of the Chinese New Year, it can be uploaded to the video platform.

The movie "The Pursuit of Happiness" was personally invested by Tang Bao.

So even if Tang Bao is put directly on the video website, there will be no problem.

Because this movie has been completely removed from the theaters.

However, although this movie finally won the award and made people feel bad, it was Tang Bao's investment in this movie.

But a huge loss.

The cost of filming abroad is a big part of it.

Then you have to bear the cost of public relations for the company's production.

The total investment of the film, including the cost of production and publicity, is about 7000 million.

Don't see this movie as just an urban movie.

But the cost of production is indeed not small.

The first is the salary of the actors. Mr. Dong Hao alone received a salary of 1000 million.

His domestic price is already so high.

But after Dong Hao saw that the box office was not good, he took the initiative to call and said that he didn't want the salary, and he didn't lack this sum of money.

How could Tang Bao agree, this was signed in the previous contract.

Unless it was agreed from the beginning that there would be no remuneration, but since the contract has been signed, the contract must prevail.

Tang Bao believed in Teacher Dong Hao's character very much. After all, the two parties had been getting along for a long time.

But he was still worried that people with ulterior motives would make a fuss about these things.

For example, it came out that Tang Bao was in arrears with the actor's salary and so on.

Tang Bao wouldn't be in special trouble at the end just because of the 1000 million.
