306: Short drama, big money!
Gu Jun's ambition is not limited to the domestic market.
Fu Hong went to find Xu Yao, and Gu Jun hurriedly flew back to Nancheng. After making sure Fu Hong was on the plane, Gu Jun immediately booked a ticket to go abroad.
He was not going to cause trouble for Fu Hong, but Shen Zhongjun was still waiting abroad for Gu Jun to go and expand territory for Huahu.
This is also the reason why Gu Jun did not stop Jason from leaving with Fu Hong.
Gu Jun's mountain-like wealth was not picked up. He knew that he would be busy for a while and could not continue to force Fu Hong to stay in Nancheng.
It is Gu Jun’s principle not to let Fu Hong cause trouble for Xu Yao.
Jiang Zhiyan came to Gu Jun to talk about the short play.
"The drama data sent by Dream Making are all very good!"
"Dream Making" is the short drama company in which Xu Yao has a stake. The name of the company was chosen by Tiancheng. Tiancheng believes that making short dramas is to "make dreams" for the audience. At the same time, Tiancheng also hopes that making short dramas can create dreams of wealth for the four partners of the company.
Cultural people are so vivid and appropriate in naming their companies. When registering the company, the four shareholders unanimously agreed to name it "Dream Culture".
Perhaps the company name was chosen well, the three-step short dramas that "Dream Making" sent to the Huahu platform for broadcast became an instant hit. In just ten days, the recharge amount of the three short dramas of "Dream Making" exceeded 100 million yuan.
Of the hundreds of millions of recharge amounts, after deducting the traffic costs, "Dream Making" can get 20 million. After deducting the shooting and production costs... well, that little shooting cost can basically be ignored. The real money spent is the traffic.
In other words, "Dream Making" earned more than 10 million in net profit in ten days by relying on these three short dramas.
What’s the difference between this speed and robbing money?
Moreover, "Dream Making" has a lot of short dramas like this one in its hands, and "Dream Making" does not only cooperate with Huahu platform.
Jiang Zhiyan felt that Tangtang’s investment was secure. Calculating the month, the baby would be born soon, so he would finally have enough money for milk powder.
Gu Jun knew that short dramas could attract traffic, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
After just a moment's thought, Gu Jun asked Jiang Zhiyan to contact Dream Makers: "For all the short dramas that have been filmed so far, we will remake overseas versions. If the storyline can be directly remade, we will do so directly. If it can't be directly filmed, we will modify it. I know Dream Makers has a team of screenwriters, so such customization is not difficult for Dream Makers. After Dream Makers finish filming the overseas versions of the short dramas, we will sign a guaranteed profit-sharing contract with Dream Makers. Huahu will advance the overseas investment costs. If the revenue covers the costs, we will get a profit share. If the revenue does not exceed the costs, we will get a guaranteed profit share. Dream Makers will definitely agree."
Jiang Zhiyan initially thought that Gu Jun was intentionally taking care of the company in which Xu Yao had a stake, but as he listened, he realized something was wrong.
Gu Jun is not the kind of person who cannot distinguish between public and private affairs. He was able to propose a cooperation model with a guaranteed profit share, and he also wanted to help DreamZao pay for the cost of overseas release. Does this mean he is really optimistic about the overseas version of the short drama?
"You want to explode the overseas market with short dramas?"
Jiang Zhiyan finally caught up with Gu Jun's strategic vision of taking one step and looking three steps ahead.
Gu Jun nodded: "We can give it a try."
Gu Jun didn’t know if it would work, but he decided to give it a try anyway.
It's useless to try it. Huahu can bear this little cost.
It worked after trying it, and Zaoming continued to make big money, and Huahu...made more than just money.
Jiang Zhiyan hasn't been this excited for a long time since Huahu defeated other competitors and became the number one in the country. It turns out that it's a man's nature to like to expand his territory!
Jiang Zhiyan was full of energy. He rolled up his sleeves and asked Gu Jun, "Give me the order quickly. I will fully cooperate with you."
Gu Jun only gave Jiang Zhiyan one order, which was to ask Old Madam Jiang to leave South City!
"It's not that I can't accommodate the old lady, it's that I'll be flying around the world soon, and I'm worried about the old lady staying in South City."
Gu Jun said that it was Old Lady Jiang who instigated Fu Hong to go find Xu Yao, and Jiang Zhiyan felt ashamed.
The floor of the office was so flat that Jiang Zhiyan couldn't even crawl through the cracks.
Gu Jun asked him, "Can you do it? If you can't come forward, I'll think of another way."
"……able!"
Jiang Zhiyan gritted his teeth, "If you can distinguish between public and private matters, I won't let you down!"
Gu Jun laughed.
"I trust you."
…
How Jiang Zhiyan gets rid of Old Madam Jiang has nothing to do with Xu Yao.
The three short dramas of "Dream Making" earned more than 10 million yuan in ten days after they were released. This is related to Xu Yao.
"We made so much money from just three short dramas. We still have more than a dozen dramas of the same quality that we haven't released yet!"
"This is just the settlement of Huahu's platform. Orca and Grapefruit haven't settled yet."
"In addition to these three short video platforms, leading social platforms are also contacting us."
"Huahu asked us to customize the overseas version today!"
There is so much good news that Tiancheng is a little incoherent.
I thought short plays could make money, but I didn't expect to make so much money so quickly.
Tian Cheng announced the good news to the company's three shareholders. Xu Yao answered the phone in the hospital corridor, her eyes brightening as she listened. Money is the key to success. Even if Orca's live streaming sales didn't take off in the short term, Xu Yao wouldn't be short of money.
Perhaps the remaining debt can be paid off within a year?
"Do you want to take Huahu's overseas customization?"
Xu Yao asked Tiancheng on the phone.
Tian Cheng didn't hesitate: "Hua Hu will bear all the risks, and we will all make money together, so why not take it?"
Huahu is right. The short drama "Dream Making" can be modified to directly produce an overseas version. There is no reason why the overseas market would not like themes such as overbearing CEOs and underdogs' counterattacks.
"Let's start by reshooting an existing script. If it sells well, we can then shoot something specifically for the overseas market, like vampires, werewolves, mummies... I know their tastes!"
Tiancheng is talented and confident, but not brave enough.
Xu Yao advised her to avoid detours: "Anyway, with Huahu providing the funding, what are you afraid of? We'll give them the remakes they want, and we'll also prepare the original works they haven't thought of yet. Apart from anything else, think about the exchange rate."
Tiancheng's heart was moved by what Xu Yao said.
To operate on multiple fronts, Dream Makers needed to hire more staff. They needed someone to oversee the filming of each short play, and they also needed a screenwriter specifically for the overseas versions of the scripts.
"Then do it!"
The quality of a short play is heavily influenced by the quality of the screenwriter. With a good script, it's easy to put together a production team. Xu Yao, worried that some of Tiancheng's screenwriters might quit and wanting to attract more talented writers to "make dreams," suggested giving the screenwriters a share of the profits.
"Whoever writes a script that becomes a hit gets paid more. This is the core driving force behind creation."
Xu Yao did this in her own studio. Employees hate bosses who make empty promises, because no matter how big the promise is, it is not as practical as real money.
Can it make money for the company?
Bonuses must be given!
In Hollywood, famous directors and actors can get a share of the box office revenue because the box office of a movie is really affected by the director and actors.
Xu Yao feels that the pursuit of brevity and quickness in short plays has reduced the appeal of directors and actors to the audience, and that "whether it is good or not" is the key to making money in short plays.
When the script becomes the core, then learn from Hollywood and give a share of the profits to the screenwriters of the short plays!
