Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 269: Alternative Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Industry (4)

An ordinary coffee shop in Beijing

Sitting opposite Shen Yao was a woman with ordinary looks, but she had an outstanding temperament and one could tell at first glance that she was a rare strong woman.

Zhou Dan picked up the coffee that was brought to her with a smile and nodded to Shen Yao, "There's no need to explain why Producer Shen asked me to come out, but our Goose Goose website is not willing to accept every film."

Zhou Dan handed a document to Shen Yao, "This is about the profit sharing arrangement and follow-up plan of the film by the Goose website. Producer Shen is not in a hurry, so you might as well take a look at it yourself first."

In recent years, the film and television industry has developed rapidly, with a hundred flowers blooming.

“It’s not just us, other well-known domestic websites are also involved.

Among the several films that became popular last year and this year, very few of them were made with small investments to achieve great results. "Most of them are still big investments, or they are purely based on money and fans' support.

As for making money, of course they do, but after deducting the costs, it’s not much.

Otherwise, there would be no such thing as gamblers. Everyone wants to make a small investment for a big return, so when they come across some low-cost films, they are more willing to spend money to give it a try.

Anyway, no matter whether it succeeds or not, you won’t lose too much. If you are lucky, you can even make a lot of money.

Earlier this year, a film about youth campus themes released by Caoren website became a minor hit. Not only did it increase the number of netizens who signed up for membership, but it also benefited several youth dramas subsequently released on Caoren website.

To be honest, such a successful case makes many companies in the industry very jealous.

Even if Zhou Dan's company, E-E Network, has capital backing, who doesn't like to make more money? The reason why more and more people are investing in the youth drama market is because of the good results brought by Caoren Network.

Shen Yao lowered her head and glanced at the document Zhou Dan handed over.

There is a lot of content on the document, the most eye-catching of which is the selling price.

For the E-E- website, there are two main situations when they purchase a TV series or film: one is a buyout, and the other is a profit sharing linked to membership and advertising.

The film and television drama shot by Shen Yao has been completed, and Director Zheng also brought people to hand over the work to her. Shen Yao will be responsible for the subsequent post-production.

Therefore, Shen Yao has already obtained the edited plots of the first few episodes.

"I agree with Producer Shen's vision, so I can buy out the contract for 500 million."

Zhou Dan lied calmly. She felt that 500 million was not a low price for a newcomer like Shen Yao. Even if Shen Yao agreed, she could earn at least 200 million.

In just a few months, the net profit was 200 million, which is a very high return on investment.

Shen Yao was not surprised. Her total investment was a little over 250 million. After all, apart from Tang Yuan, there were no other celebrities in the whole play.

The price Zhou Dan offered was considered a fair price by others.

But Shen Yao would definitely not agree to this. She was counting on this TV series to become a big hit and earn her many 200 million yuan, and then continue to invest, making interest on interest and making money from money.

"Director Zhou, I feel reluctant to buy out, so I'd rather take the dividends. Even if I lose money in the end, I can see where I'm lacking and continue to improve."

She really wants to make progress (earn money), and she will cry if she sells a golden hen that lays eggs.

Zhou Dan: …

Zhou Dan is a deputy director of the film review department under the Goose website, although there are three directors in this film review department.

"Okay, then we'll follow the profit-sharing contract. But your film can't reach S-level or above, so it's B or A-level. So let's sign it as A-level."

Zhou Dan is still very optimistic about this film, because she has watched the first few episodes. How should I put it? It’s not that the actors in it have great acting skills, but they are very good at mobilizing the audience’s emotions and making people immersed in it involuntarily.

In other words, it is attractive enough, and the whole series has no water injection or unnecessary nonsense, and is full of climaxes.

Compared with other TV series and movies on the market, it already beats 95%.

The Goose website has several levels for film selection, the worst being C level, with a membership share of only 5% and no advertising share. It is purely a friendly price, and also a little bit of recovery value that the Goose website gives after seeing a bad movie.

From level B and above, advertising revenue will be included. For level S and above, not only will the price be doubled, but the E-E website will also help with promotion on their platform (charged at normal friendly prices).

In short, as long as you are famous enough, it is easy to get good treatment on the EEG website.

Shen Yao didn't expect Zhou Dan to give her so much face. For the TV series and movies she invested in, it was reasonable to have a B or A rating because they were newcomers.

But who wouldn't like to be able to move forward? After all, the share is real money, and only with money can she make arrangements for the next step.

After the two finished talking about the business, they also discussed the subsequent arrangements, but it was too early for that because Shen Yao's film and television drama had not yet been edited.

"I believe that with Producer Shen's ability, he will be able to achieve his goal. Let's cooperate more in the future."

Zhou Dan casts a wide net to catch more fish. Anyway, if the TV series she signed makes money, it will be beneficial, so she will not leave unnecessary handles. Isn't it good for everyone to make money together in peace? Why do we have to make a scene?

……

After discussing the business, Shen Yao went out and started looking for someone to re-edit the video.

The quality of the film determines how much money she can make. Besides, the Goose Network is not really peaceful either, as there are many film and television dramas there.

call

"System, please tell us something, or we should just go back to our old ways."

The beauty industry is also very profitable, and if you do well, your income is no less than that of the entertainment industry.

Shen Yao had a lot of experience in this area before, and was even outstanding in the field of health care products for the elderly.

Touching his chin, Shen Yao felt a little shaken, but he thought that if he continued to live a monotonous life, he might as well give up.

'I will go back and continue to look for good projects to keep, and I will also hire people to create original works.' It is not enough to just rely on the interest from existing IPs. The most profitable ones have to be original works, and only original works can help people stand out.

Shen Yao does not plan to sign or promote anyone. Although it is certain to make money by promoting a popular star, stars also have their own hardships. Shen Yao feels that she does not want to be pointed at and scolded by others. The worst that can happen is that she will earn less.

The system did not speak, but quietly hid in the host's mind and listened to the host talking to himself. However, seeing that the host knew what was going on, it was not worried that the host would play tricks on it.

In the following days, Shen Yao's life became extremely fulfilling and free.

Well, it's not that she has much freedom. After all, she has the heavy responsibility of editing the film, so Shen Yao has to take the trouble. Even some edited films will be sent back by her for readjustment, such as some lighting color differences and character dialogues, striving for perfection.

Not only that, Shen Yao also spent money to buy the copyrights of several good novels.

Of course, she is also looking for screenwriters, but the situation of screenwriters in the domestic market is not very good. Moreover, capital has the final say, and screenwriters have always been of a relatively low status. Even those who are ambitious have long been smoothed out by the stagnant water, and the rest are just muddling through.

So Shen Yao planned to find someone at the university, or directly poach people from among the novel writers. People who can write novels and write novels well are not bad. She can talk to them first. If they agree, she can work with them step by step. If they don’t agree, she can replace them with someone else.

Shen Yao has laid out her plans clearly, including what to do and when, with clear plans and intentions.

The advantage of doing this is that there will be no crowding, and there is no need to worry about unexpected events taking up her time, causing her to be busy and make mistakes.

In March, Shen Yao started university, and her career as a video editor also came to an end.

The film has a total of thirty episodes, and the pace is faster than traditional plots. After all, Shen Yao's plan is to make a lot of money, and a fast pace can attract everyone to become a member. Otherwise, who would like to watch it if it drags on?

"This web drama is tentatively named "Smoke and Willow" because the heroine's surname is Liu, which sounds a bit gentle, but it also coincides with the heroine's personality in her previous life.

Otherwise, how could he be forced to break up his family? Or he couldn't stand up on his own.

Shen Yao doesn't believe that people who have had a miserable life can reach the pinnacle of life after rebirth. Rebirth does not improve IQ. The personality they originally had will be the same after rebirth. How can decades of habits be changed just like that?

That is to say, the novels are rich in imagination, and the audiences are frustrated in their lives and like to read all kinds of exciting novels to kill time and vent their emotions. This is the market for such books.

Shen Yao seized on this explosive point and let the audience see happy content. One made money and the other got good things. It was a win-win situation.

In April, Zhou Dan sent a message to Shen Yao, saying that they would arrange for the drama to be released in June.

"June?" If it's the summer season, then it's not yet. Why can't it be pushed back a bit?

Shen Yao asked whatever she thought. She felt that her web drama had great content and would make more money if it was released during the summer.

Zhou Dan is also very optimistic about this drama, otherwise she would not have given an A-level share of the profits.

Although he intended to use the company's money to do favors, Zhou Dan acted legally and in compliance with regulations and was not afraid of being investigated by those people at all.

"There is a lot of competition during the summer season, and it won't get prime time during the summer season." After all, Shen Yao's drama is not very famous, and it is impossible to compare with some famous directors or popular young actors and actresses.

When Shen Yao heard this, she immediately realized that during the summer season, even the time slots at 10 or 12 o'clock at night were very popular, and her web drama produced by an unknown producer was not qualified.

That's fine.

If it can't be scheduled for the summer season, just put it earlier, even in the 8 o'clock prime time in June would be good.

You know, prime time is always very busy. Shen Yao’s web drama has not yet sought external investment (it is also because she is not well-known and cannot attract investment), but after the drama is broadcast, some businesses should come to her.

Contact in advance the leader of the water army with whom you had pleasant cooperation before. We are all in the same circle, so we can make money together.

Send the topic you want to stir up over there, and remind Tang Yuan at the same time that this person is the heroine and the most famous person, so it would be a waste if you don't use her.

Tang Yuan: ...

Tang Yuan hates her dark history the most, otherwise she wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state today.

Hearing that Shen Yao wanted to rehash something old, Tang Yuan's face instantly turned ugly.

However, Shen Yao is thinking business from a business perspective. She wanted to make money from this drama, so she couldn't be cautious because of Tang Yuan's matter. Besides, Tang Yuan's reputation had been almost ruined, so it wouldn't make any difference even if he rehashed the old story.

“Ms. Tang, you have to know that as long as you can be popular, everything can be overcome.

Even if the previous incident was very unfriendly to you, if you get angry, your impoliteness will be said to be your true nature. What are you afraid of?"

Could it be worse than it is now? Tang Yuan just thought too much.

Tang Yuan was left speechless by Shen Yao's words, because what Shen Yao said made a lot of sense.

If she wants to revive her reputation, she can only rely on outstanding works to emerge.

As the leading actor of this drama, Tang Yuan knows better than anyone whether this drama can be popular or not. As long as it can be popular, there is nothing she cannot tolerate.

Tang Yuan nodded and agreed to Shen Yao's proposal. She secretly hated her rival for throwing dirty water on her. If she hadn't been having a conflict with the agency at that time, she would not have had no chance to resist at all.

snort!

"Follow the instructions from above, don't hold back, and believe in your abilities."

The money has been transferred, and along with the money also came the request made by Shen Yao.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the navy immediately realized that this was hype. After all, there would be this and that before the plot was released, and there were also well-known whitewashing strategies behind it, including some shots that were transplanted, and they were not afraid at all that it would not be clarified when the time came.

crackling-

The leader of the water army fought for his own better life, Shen Yao also worked hard for her entertainment circle, and even Tang Yuan was not idle either, appearing as much as possible to promote film and television dramas, otherwise who would know that she was filming another drama.

……

"Speaking of which, this "Sunday" is not bad, the variety show effect is very good, but it is a bit too snobbish. If you are not a big star, you will be easily excluded and looked down upon."

Shen Yao and Director Zheng discussed that they should find business partners for a few people and promote the business in some way.

Although Zhou Dan will also help with advertising, Zhou Dan has limited resources after all. Although A-level film and television dramas are good, they will not be taken seriously by the Goose Goose website.

After much thought, Shen Yao decided to rely on herself, including Director Zheng who had finished filming and was asked to continue working for her.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Director Zheng and Shen Yao have signed a contract for another play. This time it’s still a cool story, but it’s a palace fight, and it’s a be-all drama with no winner in life in the end.

Director Zheng is very good at shooting this kind of plot, and Shen Yao also feels that it is a pleasure to work with Director Zheng, so she simply lets Director Zheng take over without having to hire two people for the job.

Director Zheng was also very satisfied with investor Shen Yao, because Shen Yao was not really in charge of the affairs and gave him great authority to carry out activities. As long as what he did was right and beneficial to the entire crew, the other party would not stop him.

This, this is simply the chosen investor, he loves this one the most.

"Don't worry, Mr. Shen. I will take care of this matter. There are many variety shows on the TV station, and some of them are related to me." This time, everything will have to be used. What's more, Tang Yuan is popular (although it is a bad reputation). As long as the variety show editing does not deliberately smear him too much, I believe Tang Yuan will not mind too much.
