Chapter 1043: Check the lines for the next play!
Lin Fan's insistence on finishing the TV series before selling the broadcast rights is seen by many as a gimmick and a sign of being picky.
But Lin Fan couldn't help but do this all the time, and he also planned to make this a routine in the Earthling Studio.
Moreover, Lin Fan only has such a requirement for himself, and does not require other people in the industry to do the same. So as long as Lin Fan himself does not find it troublesome, no one can really say anything to Lin Fan.
Of course, even if someone said something, Lin Fan didn't care.
Because whether it is from the performance of the works, the popularity of the film and television dramas produced by Lin Fan, or the strength of the Earthling Studio, Lin Fan has the qualifications to be so unique.
Those who are willing to accept Lin Fan's eccentricity are his partners. Those who are unwilling to accept it, please go as far away as possible. Earthling Studio really doesn't need you as a client.
Moreover, for TV stations and video websites, the benefits of Lin Fan's doing this are also very obvious to them. At least they can very intuitively see the quality of the entire drama, the shooting level, the storytelling ability, the acting skills of the actors, etc. through the sample footage.
This is much more reliable than just seeing a bunch of lists, a script, and the investment amount.
Moreover, by doing this, Lin Fan was taking the biggest risks himself. The TV stations and video websites really couldn't think of any reason why they would not accept such cooperation.
The only possible problem is that the bidding pressure is relatively high. But for TV series and movies produced by Lin Fan, even if they are not completely filmed, will the bidding pressure be reduced?
Therefore, since it is already so beneficial to them, TV stations and video websites will stop "persuading" anything and just focus on preparing for the bidding for the first round of broadcasting rights.
On the day of the film screening, Yang Hongxia personally received all the heads of TV stations and video websites who came to attend the screening: this kind of work, watching others scramble to give her money, has always been Yang Hongxia's favorite.
In fact, no one competed with Yang Hongxia for the opportunity. Everyone else had their own work to do, and a small event like watching a movie was not worth it for the other big guys to put down their work and come and join in the fun.
Unless it is a classic work like "Journey to the West", only die-hard fans like Zhou Yue will take time out of their busy schedule to join in the fun.
This time's screening obviously did not reach the level of the last "Journey to the West". Therefore, apart from Yang Hongxia, the leading cast of this drama was more concerned about the results of the screening.
Especially Lu Bingyang, who came to the company early in the morning, waiting for the final result. In order to avoid being embarrassed by coming alone, Lu Bingyang also called Li Xiaodong and Zhou Xiang over, under the pretext of rehearsing the lines for the next play! Very good, this reason is very strong.
Li Xiaodong was very convinced and came over with the script. Then he saw Lu Bingyang fidgeting in the performance room, looking around and expecting something, but he did not laugh at Lu Bingyang.
Because Lu Bingyang's current performance may very well be how I will perform in a few days: next week, I will also hold a screening for the first movie in which I star, and I wonder if I will be as patient as Brother Lu by then?
Probably not? Maybe I would even want to attend the screening in person to see how the cinema arranges the screening schedule and how it signs the contract with the company.
Zhou Xiang, on the other hand, seemed much more stable than the two men. After all, Zhou Xiang had already had a movie released, and Yang Hongxia had also arranged many important supporting roles for Zhou Xiang in the past two years to hone his acting skills. He naturally had more experience than Lu Bingyang and Li Xiaodong, so he was very calm.
"Brother Lu, don't worry. The TV series and movies produced by our studio are still very popular in the market, so you don't have to worry about whether they can be sold or not. And you don't have to worry about the price. With Sister Xia's help, our TV series and movies will make money!"
Lai Siu-tung also chimed in: "Yes, Brother Lu, look at my previous drama, 'Wulin Waijiao'. It also didn't have a big-name cast, and no one could carry the ratings, but it still sold for a good price. Moreover, after the show aired, the ratings were even better than expected, and Sister Xia felt that she had lost money!"
Therefore, no matter whether it is the price, the platform, or the final ratings, Lu Bingyang actually does not need to worry too much. These things have actually been evaluated and predicted by professionals when the project was established.
As an actor, you only need to contribute your best state and acting skills during filming. The rest is not something that the actor can control.
Lu Bingyang also knew that it was useless to be anxious. He had previously collaborated with Zhou Xiang on a movie and had filmed many TV series and movies at his original agency. Logically, he should not be so insecure.
But this is my first work since I came to Brother Fan's place!
Lu Bingyang really didn't want to disappoint Lin Fan, but there was really only so much he could do. In this situation, apart from getting anxious, there seemed to be nothing else he could do.
Lu Bingyang's assistant Xiaofei also secretly went to inquire about the news, but unfortunately he didn't find out anything and was sent back by Yang Hongxia's assistant Xiaoye, who could only bring back the most basic information.
"All the TV stations we have worked with before have come, and basically all the satellite TV stations have come. The key is that all the well-known video websites have also come. I wonder who will be the winner of this drama in the end."
In a word, everyone who can come has come, and who will finally get the show depends on their budget.
Seeing so many people from TV stations and video websites coming, Lu Bingyang was somewhat relieved. This at least showed that everyone was still optimistic about the market for this drama.
As for who will win the prize in the end, Lu Bingyang doesn't really care.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But in fact, the final bidding is the most intense, but this intensity is often hidden under calm laughter, and no one knows who the final winner is until the last moment.
On the other side, Liang Wen was also asking Lin Fan: "Director Lin, who do you think will end up with this drama?"
Lin Fan thought for a moment: "Emperor's Vision, right?"
"Why? I see quite a few video websites here today. You know, purely from the perspective of economic strength, no TV station is richer than a video website."
Especially in the past two years, video websites have been willing to spend money on film and television drama copyrights, which has raised the copyright prices of film and television dramas to a higher level.
If nothing unexpected happens, Liang Wen still thinks the video website has a better chance of winning.
Lin Fan smiled: "There's no reason, maybe I just think it's appropriate."
After all, when it was on Earth, this drama was first broadcast on Emperor TV.
