Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

On the first day of April, the summer episodes of various TV stations in Dazhou were broadcast, and the eyes of fans of Dazhou's film and television dramas seemed to shift to the new dramas.

However, the battlefield of the spring dramas is not over yet, and the surrounding markets of the main dramas of the TV stations in the spring are still hot.

The same costumes, objects, photobooks, autographed photos, music CDs, film and television drama CDs

All major TV stations have mature cooperative manufacturers to quickly produce and sell these things.

Under such circumstances, the DVD sales in April also attracted the attention of many people in the film and television industry in Dazhou.

On the first day of pre-sale, sales exceeded 200,000, and on the second day it exceeded 400,000.

Then it continued until the seventh day, and the total number of pre-sales in April exceeded 900,000 copies.

Although the ratings in April failed to squeeze into the top ten of the spring film and television dramas of the big week, and only ranked 18th, the sales of DVDs of film and television dramas in April quietly climbed to the ninth place in the spring archives in the statistics of major media lists. s position.

Many people in the film and TV drama industry of Dazhou feel that the drama in April has great potential among the dramas broadcast in the spring, but it lacks a good platform to broadcast. Now I see the sales of DVDs and peripherals in April.

As the screenwriter of the drama in April, Jing Yu's name has also frequently appeared in the reports and articles of major film and television drama related media recently.

Early April April is the end of the extra filming of Your Lie.

The relevant shooting images were urgently processed by the relevant staff of the crew, and the purpose of staying up late in post-production was to catch up with the release date on April 20.

But Jing Yu did not return to his usual leisurely life after the extra filming

Because he is about to prepare a new drama for the fall

In April, the filming expenses, post-production music production expenses, and the cost of the male lead actor have already been transferred to the account, because a lot of additional investment was made in the latter part of April, resulting in calculations based on the contract, and the overall income of all crew members increased in proportion to the additional investment. After filming Yu's drama, the total income exceeded 2 million, reaching about 2.2 million.

However, Da Zhou's tax rate was not as high as Jing Yu's previous life, so less than 30% of his tax was deducted, and the actual amount was 1.6 million.

From being a negative man a few months ago to being a millionaire now, plus the fact that Taiwan has approved his new drama investment plan, it should be double the happiness, but why is it like this?

Not good, play tricks

Jing Yu looked away from the pile of game discs he bought again.

"So this time, the investment budget for my new drama is 23 million, right?" Jing Yu said with a cough.

"Well, it's true that the initial budget is like this, but you also understand that if the ratings jump after the broadcast starts like Dangerous Girlfriend, it will not be a problem to increase the budget later." Chu You also said quickly.

This kind of operation is very normal. In terms of the strength of Jinhui TV Station, it is difficult to be like those large TV stations. A drama can easily invest five to six thousand, seven to eighty million. Because the background is not strong enough, it is generally difficult to invest a lot of money. Funding, the situation of a stud and a drama.

Jiang Shiqing's dangerous girlfriend also had a budget investment of about 20 million at the beginning, and added it later.

But to be honest, all his investments have been added to actor fees and publicity. In fact, the quality of the whole show has not improved much. This may be the reason why the ratings of Dangerous Girlfriend show a little weak growth in the later stage.

"We'll talk about these later." Jing Yu said with a smile.

After all, Jing Yu is not interested in the so-called big-name movie stars. Jinhui TV cannot afford to hire the real popular stars in the big week. , Jing Yu and Yu Youqing should be the most popular actors recently.

"So nephew Jing Yu, is there any movement on your new drama script?" Chu You looked at Jing Yu expectantly.

"I want to ask Uncle Chu what should I do if my new drama can't be finished in one season?" Jing Yu looked at Chu You.

"The show can't be finished. A long drama?" Chu You's eyes lit up.

"A feature-length drama spanning two seasons?"

"It's not that long, it's about 18 to 20 episodes in length." Jing Yu said with a smile.

"This..." Chu You was in trouble when he heard the words.

The TV station's commercials are all calculated on a quarterly basis. Jing Yu's broadcast time is not less than one and a half quarters. Logically speaking, it does not meet the regulations.

If it is a script of this length, it will usually be rejected by the station.

But Jingyu's drama is another matter. The purpose of rules is to break them, it just depends on whether you have the right to let the station break the rules.

"No problem, this problem is on me, I will explain it clearly to the stage, and you can just write the script with peace of mind." Chu You said with a straight face.

If the ratings of Jing Yu’s new drama are high, then it’s not a problem for him to want this drama to be broadcast forever, and if the ratings of Jing Yu’s new drama are low, let alone one and a half seasons, it can survive six episodes without being broadcast Even if it is cut in half.

So there is no pressure on Chuyou to make such a promise.

A screenwriter, no matter how good his past dramas are, once a new drama is broadcast, the ratings will be used to judge the fate of the new drama. In Dazhou, there are many examples of famous screenwriters whose new dramas were asked to be cut in half by large TV stations to reduce investment losses.

"Then I have no problem here." Jing Yu said with a long breath.

"No problem?" Chu You was taken aback when he heard this.

"Don't you have any requirements for the members of the new drama crew? For example, actors, you can name the existence you like, and our station will send someone to negotiate with him. And the director, Li in our station is obviously an old director. , rich experience. As for the producer, although I am the direct person in charge of this show, and because I have a lot of work in charge of the show, it has been a long time since I have been a producer of a show, but if nephew Jing Yu can trust me , Uncle Chu's sword is not old yet."

"If we don't need these post personnel, we can just use the original cast of the production crew in April. However, there are many characters in the script, and there may be new auditions. But I think it's not a big problem." Jing Yu said.

"Or them?" Chu You frowned upon hearing this.

"You haven't changed the main creative staff for three consecutive dramas. Why?"

"Is there any combination in the film and television drama circle of Lanzhou Province that can have a greater influence than the original cast members in April?" Jing Yu asked rhetorically.

"Also... I am very happy to cooperate with them."

Hearing this, Chu You stared at Jing Yu for a long time, and then heaved a long sigh.

"My nephew is a very emotional person!"

For the first time, Chu You felt that he had a little understanding of Jing Yu's character.

These people chose to follow him when the future of the firefighting drama was still gloomy tomorrow. Now that Jingyu has become famous, he will naturally take care of these people.

After the broadcast in April, Jing Yu's reputation in the film and television industry of Lan Province is unprecedented. As long as he speaks out, Lan doesn't have any stars, or the director will reject his request, but he still chose the original crew of April People and horses.

If I, or Taili, hadn't been so indifferent to him back then, would he have already signed the new contract with Taili?

Chu You sighed.

"Nephew Jing Yu's drama isn't one that has extremely high requirements for mirroring and graphics." Chu You asked a little more.

"No. It's just an ordinary romantic drama. But maybe the style of the drama is a little less warm." Jing Yu said.

As long as it is not a martial arts drama or some literary drama, which has extremely high requirements and artistic sense for the camera picture, then Chu You can rest assured.

As for Gao Wencang, Chu You also recognized his ability, and it is not a problem to shoot ordinary love dramas.

The success of the two plays in April and Tomorrow proves his strength.

"By the way. Just ask my nephew, what type is your new drama in general, and what is its name?" Chu You said.

"Same as April, the type of campus romance, it may involve some music and workplace scenes in the later stage, but not so much as the name"

"White Album 2!"
