Chapter 1907 Join forces to cooperate
This is where Liu Baoxuan’s confidence lies.
Many dramas basically cannot be exported abroad.
But it has a huge domestic audience.
This also provides a layer of insurance for Xiazhou drama, at least it will not lose completely.
Moreover, Liu Baoxuan is not too afraid of Ouzhou's production company and TV station. The domestic drama production level has improved significantly in the past two years.
Investment is also gradually increasing.
Not to mention anything else, because from the beginning of the creative arts, the remuneration paid to the actors of a drama must not exceed one-fifth of the production cost!
This alone is a good start.
It turns out that Xiazhou’s TV production is full of chaos.
Especially the actors' remuneration, which is simply astronomical and jaw-dropping.
Xizhou's famous drama "The Walking Dead" has been filmed for eleven consecutive seasons. At the beginning, the protagonist's salary was US$40,000 per episode.
Unexpectedly, this drama became a huge hit once it was aired and became the ratings champion of the year.
But just like that, the salary of the protagonist Lincoln only rose to 100,000 US dollars in the fifth season.
This would have been unimaginable in Xiazhou two years ago.
Even if currency exchange is included, the price of a single episode of 700,000 yuan is the franchise price of a first-line star in China. If you switch to the Little King level, it will start at one million yuan.
Many little kings and kings start in units of 100 million.
As for the protagonist of the series "The Walking Dead", the price of a single episode is less than 500,000 US dollars, which is only more than 3 million US dollars per episode in domestic prices.
Therefore, in the past two years, ordinary people watched those dramas that promoted the amount of investment.
They all joked that most of it was paid to the actors, and there was no money for special effects.
The special effects cost only fifty cents at most, which is amazing.
This is where the "five cents special effects" came from.
An Ran feels that this phenomenon must change. He has the ability to produce good dramas and movies with a small investment and less money.
But others can’t.
Enron's film and television production is unique in the entertainment industry.
No one looks at the actors or directors, just to see if there is Enron.
No matter which aspect he is involved in, this drama will not be a bad drama, it will definitely be a masterpiece.
So with Enron’s name, we don’t have to worry about selling any dramas, movies, or songs.
Just buy it with your eyes closed.
The next best thing is the TV series and programs produced by "Chuangyi Film and Television" and "Eastern TV", which can also be bought with your eyes closed.
Although it is not said that everything is a high-quality product like "Produced by Enron", at least it will not make you lose money.
These are all accumulated through word of mouth.
Others can’t.
Hanhai Culture spent more than 200 million to film a drama in the first two years of last year, and the heroine took away 100 million.
Not for anything else, just because I am a traffic flower and have traffic.
This heroine must have been paid, but people still don’t come, so she often has to cut out the pictures. The special effects make it obvious that something is wrong at a glance.
Moreover, the lines are stiff, the expressions are contrived, and the acting... there is no acting at all.
Just like this, as soon as the drama "Hanhai Culture" was aired, there was a lot of criticism and the whole country was furious.
But Hanhai Culture also has its difficulties that cannot be explained.
Liu Kaicheng is now at Creative Arts, studying with Tang Ni, and has reached the position of middle-level department manager.
When I mentioned it to Tang Ni and others, I almost shed tears.
His father almost died.
Nowadays, domestic capital speaks loudly, but there is nothing we can do in the face of this.
Production, promotion and distribution were all in a mess, and we lost more than 100 million.
The only winners are the actors.
Anyway, she got the money?
And later someone interviewed her and asked her, "I heard that you get 100 million for a drama."
The person said without shame: "I think I'm worth the price..."
An Ran heard this and immediately became furious.
Do you really not know how much you weigh?
The higher the location, the less people want such a high price.
For king-level actors, now that the script is ready, they usually charge a nominal amount of money.
Movies generally cost 30 million, but TV series don’t.
If you are a drama star, your drama will not exceed 50 million, and you will set aside ample funds for other productions to improve the quality of your dramas.
The younger these people are, the more greedy they are.
This made An Ran angry. Starting from the "creation of art", the remuneration of all actors cannot exceed one-fifth of the production cost of the series.
If An Ran takes the lead, he will follow.
A total of more than 40 film and television production companies began to imitate Enron's behavior and re-contract with artists.
This is quite a big deal.
But there was no fuss.
Just because An Ran was standing in front of them, the artists did not dare to be too presumptuous.
Everyone knows that this guy is a murderer without blood.
A few unscrupulous people posted an article saying, "If the pay is this kind, then they will never accept movies and TV shows from 'Creative Art Films' for the rest of their lives."
An Ran simply announced that Chuangyi would not cooperate with these people in the future.
It’s better now.
Dozens of film and television companies followed suit and issued notices prohibiting cooperation with these people.
Those few died immediately.
It was originally good and very popular, but it was a pity that it turned against An Ran and it immediately fell into disrepute.
I have no choice but to rely on the Internet to develop, but Yanyin does not provide traffic, and its popularity is now not even as high as the second tier, or even the third tier.
An Ran's words changed the status quo of the industry and put Xiazhou's film and television production industry on track.
That's why the booming development in the past two years has given Liu Baoxuan the confidence to have a face-to-face battle with Ouzhou's production.
Sometimes, being too content with the situation is not a good thing.
The heads of TV stations in Ouzhou have expressed their willingness to produce a drama series to be broadcast in Xiazhou.
And handed over the distribution rights to Xiazhou Satellite TV.
Liu Baoxuan immediately made the decision, "It seems that you have made up your mind, so I will not be respectful of this good intention. Our Xiazhou Satellite TV guarantees that as long as these free dramas are presented by you, we will distribute them at cost price and not charge any other profits!"
Originally, he planned to charge a certain amount, but now that it is free and he is making money, it seems a bit unkind.
And as long as these people see the benefits, will they still be afraid of not sending money in the future?
Pierre also gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Liu, we admire your big heart!"
"In addition, what I want to say is that Xizhou's TV drama production level leads the world. Xiazhou cannot always open the door to Xizhou dramas. Sooner or later, we will have to face the impact of Xizhou dramas..."
Liu Baoxuan nodded, "What do you mean?"
Pierre said: "Facing Xizhou Drama, we are definitely not strong enough to fight against it, but there is someone who can. He can definitely fight against Xizhou Drama. This person is An Ran!"
"So I hope to set up a company that has all our TV stations and is operated by Mr. An Ran, who can lead us to fight against Xizhou Drama..."
