Chapter 628 The Real Big Investment: The Grand "Ghost Blows Out the Light"
"The first part of 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' is 'The Lost Tomb'. My plan is to shoot 24 episodes for the first part, with each episode lasting between 60 and 80 minutes. The initial budget for each episode is 200 million RMB, and the overall initial budget for the first part is 4.8 billion RMB. If that's not enough, we'll add more..."
Su Yang's words made everyone gasp. My goodness, a budget of 200 million RMB per episode. You know, many domestic film budgets don't even reach 200 million.
Nowadays, the budget for a TV series is as high as 200 million RMB per episode, and if it's not enough, you can add more. The first series had 24 episodes and a budget of 4.8 billion RMB, which is really too high.
However, according to Su Yang's requirements, the filming of this TV series is no different from that of a movie. One episode is 60 to 80 minutes long, and the special effects are maxed out. How is this different from a movie?
"As for the selection of actors, this time, the selection is no longer limited to our Qingyao Group. We will be selecting actors nationwide. However, one thing must be made clear: only Chinese actors are accepted. This includes actors from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. However, actors with foreign nationalities are not eligible for this drama. Also, this must become a tacit agreement within the group. From now on, whether it's our own production or a collaboration with other companies, this must be a tacit agreement..."
Su Yang's words made everyone take a deep breath. Rules, Su Yang began to set rules for the circle, and it was a tacit rule.
This rule is not written in the contract, nor in the rules and regulations, nor is it publicly stated. But this rule really exists.
The rule that Su Yang wants to establish now is aimed at artists with foreign citizenship. Since you have acquired foreign citizenship, then don't even think about making money in China.
This is the truth Su Yang wants to tell them, although it is not possible to achieve this goal in a short period of time. However, Su Yang is qualified to prevent them from making money from Qingyao Media.
Any Chinese artist with foreign nationality will basically have no hope of collaborating with Qingyao Group in the future, whether it's a TV series, movie, or variety show.
In fact, the influence is not limited to Qingyao Group, because Qingyao Group and Su Yang now have too much say in the Chinese entertainment industry. If other companies cooperate with these artists, it will be difficult for them to cooperate with Qingyao Group in the future.
In this way, all kinds of investors, including directors, will automatically follow the direction of Qingyao Group. Because in the Chinese entertainment industry, no one can avoid Qingyao Group.
Let's not talk about others, just Xinghai Video. You filmed a work that used these Chinese artists with foreign nationality, and Xinghai directly blocked your review. What should you do?
Su Yang was going to kill those who made money in China and spent it abroad. The reason was simple: Su Yang looked down on such people.
When they are making money, they do all kinds of operations in China, but when they make money, they go abroad to enjoy themselves. There are even some people who become traitors abroad when they are old and have no reputation.
Su Yang's attitude towards such actors is to kill them directly. Since you have become a foreigner, then you should go abroad to develop.
The meeting lasted more than two hours.
After the meeting, everyone received the materials, including the unpublished novel "The Mysterious City of the Ancients".
Everyone needs to read the novel first to understand it clearly. Su Yang will write the script, and then the script will be revised by the entire screenwriter department to come up with the best version. Finally, Su Yang will use the system to optimize it to form the final script.
The 24-episode script required careful polishing, word by word. Most importantly, this episode also contained a wealth of feng shui knowledge, and this knowledge needed to be understood in the simplest terms.
Because the TV series is aimed at the global market, Su Yang also hopes that it will achieve good results in foreign markets. At the same time, this is also part of cultural output, through subtle influence, allowing foreigners to gradually understand Chinese feng shui, the five elements and eight trigrams, and the concept of yin and yang.
These are all traditional Chinese cultures. Through film and television works, these cultures can be subtly conveyed. This is the charm of literary and artistic works.
"The 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' project has launched, with a 5 billion yuan budget to create a new benchmark for Chinese TV dramas..."
Just after the Spring Festival, Qingyao Media released a big news that shocked everyone.
Qingyao Media’s new TV drama project has been launched. The budget of this TV drama is as high as 5 billion. This news has set off the entire Internet and the entire entertainment industry.
Qingyao Media also leaked some information about the TV series. It is Su Yang's new novel, with 24 episodes, and a budget of more than 200 million yuan for each episode. It has a huge investment and a big cast, and the actors are not limited to Qingyao Group, but the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
However, there is also a rumor that has been released, that is, if your nationality is not Chinese, then there will be no chance of cooperation.
This news was confirmed by many entertainment companies, as they had also received invitations from Qingyao Media. However, Qingyao Media made it clear that if you are not Chinese, don't even get a chance to audition.
This news immediately shook the entire industry, because there were so many artists with foreign nationality in the Chinese entertainment industry. Whether they were actors, singers, directors, screenwriters, or idol stars, a large number of them had foreign nationality.
Now Qingyao Group has actually directly refused to cooperate with these people. This is an attitude. This attitude is extremely important. Because Qingyao Group is currently the only giant in the Chinese entertainment industry, not just one, but the only one.
This news was a huge shock, and many media outlets and self-media personnel directly broke the news.
"Shocking news! Qingyao Group has issued a rule that artists with foreign nationality will be blacklisted by Qingyao Group..."
"Refused to cooperate, Qingyao Group released shocking news, and the artist with foreign nationality is no longer in business..."
"Say no to artists with foreign nationality. Qingyao Group has established rules. It's time to clean up the Chinese entertainment industry..."
"Artists who have even changed their nationality are unworthy of making money in the Chinese entertainment industry. Qingyao Group has officially established a rule, refusing to cooperate with Chinese artists with foreign nationality..."
On the Internet, related news flooded in.
After seeing this news, the internet exploded once again. All netizens started discussing it, and some netizens who were eager to watch the excitement even started compiling lists. A storm in the entertainment industry began to brew again.
