Chapter 42: Small Wins Big
Li Rongjia regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.
"I should have followed!"
"At most we can give you some free data. I'm afraid it won't even cost 200,000 to shoot a season of this thing, so they probably won't want to invest."
As the head of the film and television department, Zhang Jun certainly noticed this popular short drama.
Upon checking, I found out that it was actually submitted by my own company.
But the company just did a favor and didn't invest any money.
In other words, the fruits of victory have nothing to do with the company!
It's been a rollercoaster ride.
Zhang Jun could only comfort her.
Who knew that spoof short plays could be so profitable?
Now if we take into account the copyright and advertising, tens of millions is a small amount for this season.
Although 10 million may not seem like a lot for movies and TV, it is a small investment.
The investment in other TV dramas is basically in the tens of millions.
But judging from the huge team, the biggest expense is probably the homepage carousel provided by Station C.
This was a gift from Li Rongjia. If I bought it myself, it would cost less than 100,000 yuan.
And you can keep shooting later, so you only lose a small target.
"This is a classic example of making a small investment for a big return. The input-output ratio is at least 1:50. My God, the industry must be envious and their eyes are bleeding."
"This Wang Dachui is now considered an IP!"
"We have to keep up with the second season of this drama! Who knew a short drama could be so exciting."
"Also, how are the negotiations going with Black Widow's other copyrights?"
"Both 'A Step into the Past' and 'Chinese Paladin' were charged 2 million yuan, and the song rights for 'Chinese Paladin' were paid 500,000 yuan."
"Okay, don't be stingy when cooperating with them."
"'Scarlet Heart' is also wrapping up production now. Let's see if it can be broadcast on TV after the Chinese New Year."
"Okay, follow along. Her novels are not only very popular, but also very suitable for film and television adaptation. As long as you assess that they're suitable and the price isn't outrageous, we'll sign them first."
"Okay, don't worry."
The first season of "Never Expected" has 20 episodes.
For the advertisement, Lin Mo and Zhang Wen only shot 5 sample films at first.
I'll shoot new ones after the popularity picks up.
The shooting cost is low and the cycle is short, so you can shoot and broadcast at the same time, and attract investment while broadcasting.
It created a case of micro-short dramas making a big difference with small investment.
It is also a classic from the perspective of communication studies.
Capital is profit-seeking.
Many personal studios or companies want to replicate the success of "Wan Wan" through short dramas.
Whether it is concepts, models or business, there is a lot to learn from.
The investment is small and the threshold is low.
But although the threshold seems low, it is not simple at all.
That is, the requirements for the script are very high.
An interesting script is the soul of a short play.
This alone has stopped many crews.
After "Wan Wan", many companies began to study scripts or purchase scripts from the market, making the market for micro-short dramas extremely hot.
So the screenwriter of Loki is quite famous.
During the New Year's Day holiday, Lin Mo called Xiao Wei, Zhang Wen and Gou Minghua to get together in Shanhewan.
"Happy New Year! Cheers!"
Eating barbecue and drinking beer.
We started chatting in a short while.
"Lao Gou studies computer science at the University of Science and Technology next door. Xiao Wei is also my high school classmate and plays in a band. Zhang Wen is my classmate and we are both in the directing department."
They were all young people and they quickly got along well with each other.
"This is my uncle's house. You can come over and get together during festivals."
"Okay, your home is my home!"
Xiao Wei has never been able to change his habit of talking too much.
As they chatted, they found out that "Never Expected" was directed by Zhang Wen.
The script was written by Lin Mo.
"You two are amazing! You've been so quiet, and I think the internet is going to explode!"
"My identity is confidential, so just don't tell anyone."
"And the song you gave me last time, we will release it after the music festival starts after the New Year."
"Okay, just take your time."
We are all best friends, so it’s okay to know.
And Lin Mo has some plans for them.
Xiao Wei, there’s no problem with forming a band.
Zhang Wen, who comes from a performing arts family, can concentrate on being a director. With the script in Lin Mo's hands, he can start planning in college.
Gou Minghua, when we graduated from high school and were singing at KTV, we found that this guy was fat, stupid and thick, a typical technology geek.
But he can actually sing, and his rap rhythm is very good.
When Lin Mo heard this, he felt like he had found a treasure.
Should we let Gou Minghua be influenced by the situation first, and then try to get him involved?
It would be a shame not to sing under these conditions.
Putting aside their careers, they are now Lin Mo's best friends.
If there is a need in the future, he will support them.
Lin Mo's small circle began to expand.
If I count it up, I have been in this world for about a year and a half.
In my previous life, I was an orphan and experienced all the ups and downs of life.
I don’t know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate after merging with the original owner.
He saw the original owner's life from a God's perspective, and he seemed to have an epiphany.
My mind became clearer and my thoughts became clearer.
In this way, he took on the responsibilities of the original owner, saying that it was to avenge his uncle, but in fact, everything he achieved now was for himself.
In his previous life, Lin Mo had few friends and no one cared about him.
In this life, he has family, friends and a career.
As he continues to move forward, he does not want the brilliant culture of the earth to be lost in the long river of history.
This year, the novel performed best.
With 14 books published in one year, Hulk is already a great writer, and Black Widow is now a first-rate writer.
The copyrights were sold to Xingyao.
The cooperation with them is smooth and the price is also advantageous.
The copyright income of 4 films was 8 million.
The song releases also performed very well.
He also appeared on CCTV's Lantern Festival Gala and this year's Spring Festival Gala.
The singers on hand include Liu Wei, Mei Lanlan, Jian Yishu and Zhou Heng.
Shooting a movie called "Never Expected" can be considered as some preparation for the film and television section.
I was admitted to the Peking Academy of Arts.
I signed with Xingyao and became a first-class composer, but I have more freedom.
He has also collaborated with the Daxia Folk Music Orchestra many times.
Met Professor Wang Hongmin.
It’s only my freshman year now, and the situation is very good!
If we count the income, it’s almost 30 million in half a year.
After deducting the money for buying the villa now, there is still more than 10 million left.
If you want to invest in something, you still need some capital.
And the advantage of being a copyright holder is that you can still earn income even if you don’t work.
As for the subsequent plans, the vests must remain confidential.
Otherwise, I would probably be targeted by the public immediately.
There are too many troubles, and it is not wise to fight against a big boss in the entertainment industry alone.
Mei Lanlan’s song “囍” by an ancient-style girl has not been released yet.
We can also do this this year.
If there are any orders, it would be better to take more orders and build some good relationships with other companies.
You can try your hand at film and television with Zhang Wenduo.
Web series, sitcoms, and even documentaries are also acceptable.
If Zhang Wen comes forward, then I won’t show up.
Xiao Wei also has a band, so spend more time on it.
Gou Minghua also has many songs that suit him.
We have to take it slow and see if he is willing.
