Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

After the family and Dubo's Apocalypse came to an end, Jing Yu breathed a rare sigh of relief.

After all, although he still has another project in operation now, he played the role of Gilgamesh in Destiny Zero, and this guy has a mediocre role in this drama.

Of course, although his actual filming scenes are few, he has many special effects shots. The shots of Gilgamesh accounted for more than one-third of the special effects budget of the whole play.

The special effects company began to implant special effects based on the finished films submitted by Jing Yu for review. To be honest, the employees of the special effects company felt a lot of pressure when they saw Jing Yu's face, and they worked overtime every day to face Jing Yu's camera. up.

As for the six major TV stations and Yunteng, they came to Jingyu's Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company in turn to discuss the sale of the family's broadcasting rights.

This show has great potential, even if many people have watched it on the webcast platform, it is still attractive to the Big Six. Even so, there is a high probability that the advertising fee during the broadcasting rights of this show will be enough. Back to the cost of the purchase.

As for these, Cheng Lie went to talk to these TV stations.

Although Jing Yu and Yun Teng are long-term partners, this relationship only gives Yun Teng a certain advantage at the same price, and Jing Yu is not his own work, so he has no brains to show it to Yun Teng.

Of course, the family's broadcast rights were discussed very quickly.

Neither the top three TV stations bought the broadcast rights, nor Jingyu's old partner Yunteng, but Chenghai TV, the bottom three TV stations, bought it with 50 million yuan.

To be honest, for a drama that has already been broadcast on video sites, the price of 20 to 30 million is acceptable to everyone, but the bottom line is 50 million.

It can already be used to make a self-made drama with all kinds of copyrights in hand.

Even if the work of The Family has this potential, the various factions within the big TV station and people from other departments will not allow you to spend so much money for the broadcasting rights of a drama.

Therefore, Chenghai TV Station, which offered the most ruthless bid, successfully obtained the broadcasting rights of this drama from Jing Yu.

Yunteng's production department is naturally very eager for Jing Yu's drama, but the production department is still only a department of Yunteng. A proposal to buy broadcasting rights of external TV series for 50 million yuan

There is no pass at the higher level in Taili. It’s not those high-level idiots who don’t know the potential of this family drama. Buying the broadcasting rights for 50 million yuan may have higher ratings than Yun Teng’s self-made drama with this money. But the problem is that many high-level people can’t make money by doing this When it comes to oil and water, it doesn't make much sense for the TV station to earn more. The key is that they earn less in the process, so they would rather save this money for the production fee of a new drama in next spring, and they did not pass Meng Yu's request. proposal.

This kind of thing can only be said that Meng Yu has no choice but to sigh.

Of course, the condition of the contract is that Jing Yu will not be able to sell this drama to any TV station within the next two years.

Obviously, Chenghai didn't buy this drama just to prepare to broadcast it in the next winter season, but he might want to prepare to broadcast it many times.

A phenomenon-level hit drama, most TV stations broadcast it over and over again, anyway, it's a classic and worth watching. Jingyu's Journey to the West in his previous life was like this. After decades, there are still TV stations broadcasting it. The ratings may not be very high, but they will definitely not be low.

To be honest, Jing Yu also felt various regrets about Chenghai TV Station.

When he left Jinhui TV Station, his first goal was here. If Chenghai didn't look down on the soul of chess and asked Jin Jingyu to change a work to pitch for a script, Jingyu might have signed a long-term contract with Chenghai for five or six years. , then he must still be working in Chenghai now.

It's not like the two-year broadcast rights of a drama are sold for 50 million now.

And after getting authorization from Jing Yu.

Chenghai TV station has moved very quickly, with ready-made film sources, and even this show has a ready-made strong influence, Chenghai TV station just released the news that the family drama will be broadcast on Chenghai TV station in winter, and three weeks a week After the news of four or two consecutive episodes.

That night, Chenghai TV's official website was overwhelmed by enthusiastic family fans, and a large group of fans flocked to express their praise for the intelligence of the top executives of the family TV station.

Although the family drama is still popular now, many fans who want to watch this drama can review it through their own video accounts.

But still the same sentence, sometimes there is a difference between TV broadcasting and computer broadcasting when watching dramas. The reason is the same as that people in Jingyu’s previous life can find any drama they want to watch on their mobile phones. But a lot of people just want to watch it on TV and put up with the commercials. Maybe it's because of the atmosphere, although you can't see it, but you know that at the same moment when this TV station is watching the drama, there are thousands of people watching this work with you, that kind of drama chasing There will undoubtedly be a lot less loneliness.

And it is broadcast on TV, so it is suitable for a family to sit in the living room and watch drama together. Many family fans are ready to go back and watch the show together with the whole family when it airs in Chenghai.

It's time to enter October

Jing Yu didn't broadcast any episodes at all this season, except for the broadcast and rebroadcast of his family in Chenghai.

However, although new dramas are being broadcast on major TV stations one after another.

Qingyun, Eggplant, and Jixun's three major video sites have also released five or six self-produced dramas, but at the beginning of October, on the major film and television forum websites, the most discussed work was the family.

Even after Chenghai TV began broadcasting the family drama on TV, many TV fans were not satisfied after watching the first few episodes of the first season, and joined the video website to pay to watch first.

This kind of situation also made the family drama, which had slowed down after the average paid broadcast volume rose to more than 18 million, rise again.

Before mid-October, the average payment per episode exceeded 19 million, and in early November, because more and more Chenghai TV viewers were attracted by the family drama.

Although it was a rebroadcast, many viewers had watched this work in the last season, but the family's ratings on Chenghai TV also soared from 4.5% when it started broadcasting to 6.1% in early November.

Similarly, the number of paid broadcasts of this drama also exceeded 20 million episodes per episode.

What is this concept?

At this time last year, the total number of registered users of Qingyun Video's website was only about 20 million. Now, the average payment for a self-made drama on the website has exceeded 20 million. The total registered users of the website It is also approaching 60 million.

Although the number of these users is not all due to the attraction of Jingyu's works, there are also factors that Qingyun Video paid for and invested in advertising.

However, Jing Yu and his drama's blessing to Qingyun is obvious, but it has played a considerable role in the struggle of the three major video sites.

Jing Yu's status and influence in the Da Zhou film and TV drama world began to undergo a qualitative change after the family drama was broadcast.

But the time has entered the winter season.

Jing Yu, but Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company finally ushered in a wave of large-scale capital entry.

The previous 5 Centimeters per Second's broadcast share on Qingyun.com and the sale of various copyrights brought Jing Yu an income of about 300 million yuan.

Then, I really want to tell you that this show was broadcast on Yunteng TV station. Not to mention the tens of millions of broadcasting costs, the follow-up peripheral DVD sales revenue and overseas broadcast copyright revenue are no less than 5 centimeters per second.

With regard to these two dramas, Jingyu Company has more than 600 million funds on its books. Compared with the total investment of a little over 100 million in the first two works, the rate of return is as much as six times.

It can be regarded as one of the highest-return investment projects in the film and television drama industry this year.

Not to mention the 50 million family broadcast rights fees that have not yet arrived, and the family with an average episode broadcast volume of more than 20 million, and the income of Dubo's Apocalypse with an average episode broadcast volume of more than 15 million. not counted

In the past, all Jing Yu’s copyright proceeds have been invested in Destiny Zero’s filming. Originally, the past few months have been a difficult time, and the employees’ various bonuses are temporarily suspended, but after mid-November

More than 600 million and nearly 700 million were directly credited to the company's books, and the two dramas of Family and Apocalypse still had 500 to 600 million already defined income.

For a while, Jing Yu also became high-spirited

It has been five years since I came to this world.

Although he didn't become a rich man, at least Jing Yu dared to boast that he had a book capital of one billion. Moreover, the hidden value of the copyrights of so many works is also a fortune. At least Jingyu is not doing anything now. The follow-up copyright income and song income of these works can easily bring Jingyu tens of millions of income a year. .

But do the math. With so many works, only this little wealth, Jing Yu also feels that it is a loss that the previous works also made money, but most of the money was earned by Yunteng and Jinhui. He only earned a dozen percent income. It wasn't until he and Cheng Lie came out to do it alone that the accumulation of wealth could be done so quickly.

And at this time, Jing Yu faced the work of Destiny Zero again.

Suddenly, I didn't feel how high its production cost was, and I even thought about adding a little more.

"Don't add any more. For a 13-episode drama, you have already made it clear that the money you want to invest in is 220 million. Do you want to add more? The market has a bottom line for digestion. Adding money can make the most Excellent dramas come out, but blindly adding money is definitely not the option with the highest yield and cost performance.”

When Cheng Lie saw that Jing Yu was rich, he was ready to waste money and quickly reminded him.

Investing in film and television dramas is addictive from the standpoint of the creators. After all, no work can be 100% perfect, but often adding money can make a drama with a 99% favorable rate, often 99.9%, 99.99% of the numerical approximation. However, adding so much money and getting praise from the audience at 10,000 points, or even 100,000 points, the price/performance ratio is too low.

"I understand what you mean." Jing Yu said quickly.

"It's just an idea, and it doesn't have to be put into action."

"Funds are the lifeline of film and television companies like us without backing. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Many film and television companies are like this. They invest in a drama desperately and want to play big, and then the company is ruined. "Cheng Lie said more.

Destiny Zero's investment is already big enough, and if the investment is added, even if the show becomes a hit after it airs, it will only be a small profit.

"Understood." Jing Yu hurriedly stopped, otherwise Cheng Lie would come to settle accounts with him again.

"These employees who have nothing to do during this period, call them together these few days, have a dinner, give them a bonus, and then let them go to rest and travel for a few months." Jing Yu quickly changed the topic to another topic. direction.

"Aren't you going to be a model worker?" Cheng Lie said with a smile.

"Model worker?" Jing Yu asked.

"It's the new nickname given to you by your fans! Since the big reversal in the last episode of the family drama, fans have praised you again, saying that you work hard and are serious and dedicated, but Because a little bit of plot setting was criticized by so many people, fans who defended you began to call you that."

"The fans are still naive." Cheng Lie joked.

"They thought you were busy all day, making TV dramas without sleep, but they didn't know that Jing Yu, the god in their minds, was fishing and playing games all day long during work. If you really showed the mentality of a model worker, you might have It is not a problem to produce four or five dramas a year."

"Forgive me, I will die of exhaustion." Jing Yu complained.

"But it's already mid-November and the broadcast date of Destiny Zero is coming. You said before, let me give you a week's vacation. This is no problem. Anyway, your scenes are easy to handle, and basically all of them are filmed. It's almost there, and it's all in post-processing." Cheng Lie said.

"But... what are you going to do with this week's vacation?" Cheng Lie asked.

"Go for a trip with your girlfriend!" Jing Yu said.

"Life is not only about filming and writing scripts, but also about spending money! Otherwise, why do I work so hard? Just to make money and then deposit it in the bank, and then let the bank use my money to lend out to make more money?" Jing Yu laughed.

"Girlfriend Yu Youqing has long thought that something is wrong with you two. That guy Xia Yining hasn't noticed it yet, but there is no filming during this period, and she stays at home and doesn't come to the set. I guess she has no chance to see you and Yu Youqing's tricks." Cheng Lie was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said.

Jing Yu didn't discuss this matter with Cheng Lie too much, so he briefly mentioned it.
