crush the rich

Why should a creative competition consider budget?

This is where June Dream is so comprehensive.It is not just a creative competition - it can be said to be a semi-scientific nature, a test for the ability and quality requirements of playwrights.

Because Xia Guo has various convenient technologies in film and television creation, the threshold for production has been greatly reduced.Although as far as the actual situation is concerned, not everyone who has access to this technology can create watchable film and television works, but at least for those who are really interested or talented in this industry, there are already few of them. A very important economic threshold.

This directly leads to the increase of freelance creators—it can even be said that in Xia Guo's current drama circle, free creation is the mainstream of the entire industry.

Of course, there are good and bad in everything, and the open industry atmosphere also brings harsh competition.At the same time, the free creative atmosphere also shows that creators need to take more responsibilities for themselves. Although the agent system has also emerged as the times require, how can ordinary newcomers afford an agent?Even veteran directors who have been in the industry for many years, if they don't do well, they won't be famous, and they don't have the financial strength to hire an agent to solve chores.

In fact, with Yin Lian's current strength, she didn't have a professional agent in the first place.Unless you are hired with a high salary, people think that the reputation is not enough for the normal price.She still took advantage of her face, and the creative business was handled by the agency by the way, and she didn't charge extra money.For large-scale business, such as the previous script authorization, the brokerage company took a 5% discount from the discounted price, which was regarded as agency business money. According to the general situation of the industry, it can be said that it charged an agency fee.Other trivial matters, in view of the big head of image licensing, are almost all solved by help.

But if you are a newcomer to an ordinary playwright, you won't have such an easy life.Except for those who work hard for the company at the beginning and get a dead salary plus bonus, normal freelance screenwriters must at least master a lot of basic skills—such as market analysis, cost budgeting, writing proposals, etc. Okay, but if you are hired or receive orders or bids, in addition to the script, a basic proposal is also essential.

These include budget, market analysis, target audience, expected impact, and more.

June Dream doesn't require so much, because this round of competition is all essay questions, but there are also necessary steps.In any case, the official will always provide various materials for production, but the level of the budget is still subject to the specific proposal.

Not only that, the official also invited potential investors from all walks of life on the spot.Each of these investors has an investment quota in this show. This quota is not real investment, but the available resources allocated to them by the program group, but they can still invest in their favorite contestants according to their own preferences. body.

Players have to find suitable investors with their own plans and budgets, and try to persuade them to invest in them.In the process of persuasion, both parties must consider their own and the other's position, as well as the significance of investing in this work, and even at the end, the competition team will also consider each investor's economic or non-economic value in this "investment". The economic benefits are ranked by a return ratio.

As soon as the day started, the competition team introduced the identity of the "investors" invited today.

Investors are basically three times as many players.To put it bluntly, this number is used to allow players to play freely and perform showy operations.

When Yin Lian was waiting, she heard Shi Lishenghua gossip about the previous contestants' performance records.

For example, whoever persuaded seventeen investors to invest in his works.

Yin Lian asked: "Did he win in the end?"

Shi Lishenghua said disdainfully: "How is it possible? This is a drama competition, and the investment is enough. It is indeed a lot more convenient to have a large budget, but in fact controlling the budget is also part of the competition. He can get [-] investment, But the investment must be returned, can he get seventeen times the praise of other players?"

Yin Lian listened, thoughtful, and then said: "I understand."

In fact, although this stage seems to be a shot for sponsors, it is actually a disguised test of the player's own business ability.Yin Lian thought that according to the rules of the competition and the setting that investors are three times the number of players, it should be easy for players to get sponsors.But in this process, the way players persuade investors is actually one of the highlights of the competition.

Yin Lian thought for a while, and felt that there are actually many ways to attract investment.For example, she saw the identity of an investor on it, who was the CEO of Ocean Construction Company.This marine construction company also happens to be the builder of the subsea base.If Yin Lian wants to attract him to invest, he can add relevant plots to the story.

For example, let the heroine introduce this company when she wants to buy or build a house where both parties can live.Then follow the characters of the male and female protagonists and the business characteristics of the construction company to create some interesting jokes. For example, during the construction, the staff who came to install the underwater facilities said in a high-profile way: "Our water room is here to hit high-energy electromagnetics. □ can't be broken!"

The hostess said in a daze, "Oh, but I only need a civil-use water room."

The staff replied: "This is the civilian standard."

The hostess took it seriously and said, "Is the quality of civilian use so good now?"

"This is the standard for civilian use now. The main reason is that mermaids are too tossing. Customers whose underwater tail can reach a ton of power, ordinary underwater glass houses can't afford them to shake their tails...but don't worry. , Several underwater construction companies along the coast this year have all closed down because the glass houses they built could not withstand the beating of mermaids. We are converting from military use to civilian use. We can withstand the water pressure of the deep sea below several thousand meters, and we must be able to withstand you Husband's slap."

Then suddenly lowered his voice like a thief, and said: "In addition, we have provided a set of safety measures as a gift. At critical times, you can completely isolate the area of ​​the water room through the remote control. In case of domestic violence..."

The staff talked about the thoughtful design of their company, but the mermaid hiding aside listened to it and almost jumped out to destroy him humanely.

However, if it is designed in this way, the latter part must be modified to a certain extent.

For example, when robbers invade, it can be designed that they use bombs to try to blow up the glass wall many times, but they all fail.As a result, when he turned around, the most useless young man in the criminal gang found that the underwater door was open and unlocked.

However, if she really intends to make such a design, Yin Lian doesn't mind doing it more thoroughly.

She thought that if she submitted the plan to the other party, she could design a special plot based on the specific construction data of the Xia Ting base, which would not only play a role in promotion, but also develop an interesting plot along the way.

Of course, advertising is just one of the reasons that may prompt investors to invest in film and television dramas.In addition, if the other party is very optimistic about Yin Lian's work, or if the content of the story happens to be a social topic that investors are interested in, or even simply because they like the story itself, it may prompt the other party to invest.

But Yin Lian didn't pin on this matter.To like works requires fate, and fate is elusive and uncontrollable.Maybe after a long time, she will naturally accumulate a wave of book fans, but now she is more inclined to find a way out through the methods she can master.

Then she saw Lin Hesen's name on the list of investors.

She was silent for a while, rolled her eyes, pretended not to see anything, and looked at the introduction of the next investor.

As a result, after turning a few pages, a person's introduction suddenly caught her attention.

She paused, and asked Shi Lishenghua: "This person..."

Shi Lishenghua glanced at it, but said very politely: "Hey, this name sounds familiar." Then she thought for a while and said, "Ah——"

Yin Lian looked at her suspiciously.

Shi Lishenghua said: "It's him! That... the one who retired from the smuggling of Paradise Bugs six years ago!"

Yin Lian actually didn't know who he was, but was a little concerned about his explanation.Because it was introduced in the description that he was a retired military officer, and he seemed to have held a high official position, but now he is in the state of business, and he still appears in such competitions.

She didn't know what the bliss worm was, so she marked it and looked it up, but she already felt that it was probably not a good thing.Just by hearing the name, she can probably imagine the function of this thing.

She asked, "Is this Huahai Medical company... famous?"

Shi Lishenghua said: "I seem to have heard of it. It should be quite big. I just don't know it well. But no matter what, I never expected to see such a big man here."

Yin Lian took down the relevant information in her heart, but after thinking about it, she realized that her work did not intentionally attract such a big person, so she skipped this information for the time being.

In the end, she went through the entire roster, selected some convincing objects she thought were suitable, and sorted the list according to priority, but she didn't go to persuade immediately, but sat down again and began to review her works. Revise.

At this time, many people have been persuading for a while.

Shi Lishenghua had also selected the investor he wanted to win over, but it turned out that Yin Lian had no intention of looking for someone. Instead, he sat down and began to write the script slowly. He was a little puzzled and asked : "Aren't you going?"

Yin Lian asked back: "Are you going now? How are you going to convince the other party?"

Shi Lishenghua said: "Let's just persuade..."

Yin Lian asked her who she was planning to win for investment, but Shi Lishenghua reported only investors who she felt were good-looking investors.Yin Lian asked her again: "So investing in your drama is of any benefit to them?"

Shi Lishenghua thought about it for a while, but he said a long paragraph. Overall, he still boasted about himself and emphasized the return on investment.

Yin Lian said: "Shi Li, we are all newcomers. Even if we are boastful and well-informed, they may not take us seriously. Moreover, no one can guarantee that their works will be a hit. Red. If you want to hit the target, you have to think about what people really need."

Shi Lishenghua was taken aback for a moment, and then really thought about it seriously.

Yin Lian changed the outline of the script for a while, then stood up and walked towards the first boss on the priority list.

At this time, a lot of people were already surrounded by the boss.
