"The Three Thousand Golds of Xia Family", an 80-episode urban romance idol drama. .

The script, Mai Xiaoyu, had been "copied" long ago, and was lying quietly in the safe in the office.

When Mai Xiaoyu first chose the script for Zhao Liying and Shu Chang, he considered too much youth idol drama, and even considered the Chinese-speaking of Japanese and Korean campus idol dramas. He didn't think of this drama until he saw Tang Yan today.

This drama was originally prepared by him for Tang Yan.

Now starring Huo Jianhua, Tang Yan, Zhao Liying, and Shu Chang co-starring, it couldn't be more appropriate. And the length of the eighty episodes should be enough to remove the imprint of "Love Apartment" on Zhao Liying's body.

Once the script is determined, the rest is easier.

The next day, he gave Liu Xiaoli the script of "The Three Thousand Gold of Xia Family", and contacted Sun Yaxing, suggesting Huo Jianhua to play "Strict", Tang Yan as "Summer Beauty", Zhao Liying as "Xia Zhenzhen", and Shu Chang as "Xia Youshan" .

Generally, no one in the company keeps his suggestions, especially in the production of film and television dramas and the selection of actors. His suggestions have basically never changed.

All that is left is that Liu Xiaoli selects the executive producer, and works with Sun Yaxing to formulate the project schedule and prepare the crew. Then, according to the project schedule, contact the agents of Huo Jianhua, Tang Yan, Zhao Liying, and Shu Chang to finalize the final schedule.

The broadcast rights of "Dulala's Promotion" directed by Sun Yaxing were sold before the launch. During the summer vacation, it was broadcast on four stars, including Dolphin TV. He has nothing to do at the moment, and he is choosing a notebook.

Because of the success of "Stewardess", his worth has jumped up a lot, and the single-episode pay has gone straight to six figures. As for the godfather-level director of domestic idol dramas, Li Hui, the single-episode pay has already exceeded six figures.

"The Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family" is 80 episodes long, and Sun Yaxing's pre-tax pay is as high as more than six million.

Of course, he doesn't have so many hands. His studio is under the banner of Moeren, and he has to pay taxes.

Even so, compared to the previous TV series for local tyrants, he is now unimaginable in terms of fame, social status, and personal income.

After getting the script, he directly gave Mai Xiaoyu a warm hug: "Mr. Mai, I know you are my nobleman! Don't worry, I promise to make this TV show."

Sun Yaxing rushed away, returned to his studio, and gathered people to prepare for the preparation of "Xia Family".

Liu Xiaoli asked: "Mai, won't you arrange for Liya to play? She just debuted and is in need of more dramas."

"She... I told her agent, Zhao Chupeng, that he would help Tong Liya pick up some more costume dramas. Let's play the urban dramas for now."

In the hit pure love drama "Stewardess", Tong Liya starred in the second female "Le Le".

Tong Liya performed well in the play, performing a hot character that emphasizes love and meaning in "Le Le". Coupled with her appearance: big eyes, high nose, melon-seeded face, two small dimples, and faintly visible small tiger teeth, she has won a lot of praise and a lot of fans.

However, she failed to achieve the effect that Mai Xiaoyu expected. At most, she made many viewers know and remember her, a beautiful Xibe girl who has gained a certain degree of attention and is not considered popular.

Referring to the experience in the strange dream, Mai Xiaoyu decided to let her take the most beautiful costume drama road first, and then try to transform the urban drama after she became popular.

"Does Xiao Zhao have any difficulties? He is also a new agent. I am worried that he has insufficient resources and contacts."

"It's okay, I said hello to Xiaoxue."

"That's good, you always consider things more thoughtful."

Having said this, Liu Xiaoli paused and opened her mouth, as if he wanted to talk but stopped.

Mai Xiaoyu asked: "What's wrong with Aunt Liu?"

Liu Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, and sighed lightly: "Wheat, the investment in "Xia's Family" will probably not be less than 50 million."

"That's for sure, you can't shoot if it's less than 50 million."

"You suddenly increased your investment in film and television this year, do you have any ideas?"

"No, I just think the company's funds are too rich, and the current market situation, it is time to shoot most of the big production. Aunt Liu, what on earth do you want to say?"

Liu Xiaoli smiled bitterly: "If the two films in the United States are negotiated, our cute people will not be so rich in terms of funds. Coupled with next year's "Xia Family", 50 million yuan will be invested, and the company's funds may be tight. ."

The 80-episode TV series, with a total investment of more than 50 million, is really not high. That is to say, "Xia Family" is an urban romantic idol drama. Try it with a costume war drama. Not to mention how much money a war scene burns. The crew alone is huge, and the cost of eating horses and chewing every day is not a small amount. .

It seems that there is now a rumors about the "Three Kingdoms" that is about to be remade, but there is no more than one billion that can't be filmed at all.

There is also a new version of "Dream of Red Mansions" that passed the "Dream of Red Mansions" audition last year and plans to launch around May this year. The budget is probably not less than 100 million.

Fortunately, "Xia Jia" is an urban romantic idol drama that can recover part of the investment cost through advertising. However, advertising sponsorship costs are not in place all at once. They are paid in installments, just like the TV station’s final payment.

If the agreement in the contract is not met, the balance payment may still be in vain.

The budget of "Xia Jia" of more than 50 million yuan will not be the last straw to crush Mengren, but it can let Mengren taste the hidden disease of all film and television companies-lack of money.

Since the reform of the separation of production and broadcasting, a large number of people in the television system have gone to sea. Create a film and television company, produce TV dramas, and sell them to TV stations. Most people lack the accumulation of original capital, and the production cost of a TV series requires millions of yuan, and they can only rely on external financing.

With the development of the market, over the years, the production cost of a single TV series has been in the tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of yuan. Almost all film and television companies have their own liquidity, which is difficult to support the huge capital needs.

The film and television industry is also an asset-light industry, and it is difficult to use financing leverage itself, and the "lack of money" for film and television companies has become the norm.

More unfortunately, the capital turnover rate of film and television dramas is very low.

A TV series often goes through a period of 15 to 2 years from its opening, production, broadcasting, and payment.

As for a movie, it will take half a year for the production company to see the money after it goes offline. As for the preparatory preparations, shooting, post-editing, publicity, and waiting time for release... Let’s put it this way, Xiaoxing Xi has already begun preparations for the shooting of Inception, but if the film is to be released, there is no hope next year.

Zhang Xiaoquan's "Love Call Transfer 2" is not as large as "Inception" in scenes and scale, and does not require modeling, painting, and green screen magic. There are not many special effects shots, and the production cycle will be shortened a lot.

However, all of this is based on the existing scripts, which saves the time to discuss and modify the scripts, otherwise the production cycle will be lengthened.

Based on this phenomenon, even the listed giants can't hold up a large amount of accounts receivable. When filming movies and TV series, in addition to self-funding, they will also raise funds from all directions to reduce the risk of operating cash flow.

Only then have many hot money investment channels, and one of the unspoken rules rumored in the entertainment circle-actors who bring capital into the group are awesome.

Mengren’s previous film and television dramas were almost all small productions, with low investment and high returns. Although TV stations have also encountered the payment of the final payment in installments and prolonged the payment period, which resulted in part of the funds being occupied, the overall operating cash flow was good and the capital flow was abundant.

However, starting this year, the situation has changed.

The copyright fees of "Xian 3" and "Stewardess" are less than 4o%; the box office share of "Love Call Transfer" will have to wait until early next year; "Transfer" is still too late.

And this year Moeren invested 10 million US dollars to film "Twilight", and also prepared 80 million to 100 million US dollars to prepare for "Wonderland and Wonderland" and "Alice in Wonderland".

In addition to projects such as Inception, Love 2, "Xia Jia", and "Mythology", huge capital investment has been invested.

Fortunately, the cute family has a solid foundation and the artist’s remuneration share. The year-end dividends of companies such as Lantian Real Estate Development, Maiye Special Effects, mlgb Records, and film and television peripheral product sales, and Mai Xiaoyu earned hundreds of millions in the secondary market in the first half of the year. , This is barely able to maintain the company's cash flow next year.

Liu Xiaoli’s reminder is not unfounded. Any company’s capital chain breaks are fatal and may lead to the company’s "sudden death", and Mengren is no exception.

What's more, cute people have foreign enemies, so Sky Tiger is watching.

In the second half of the year, Ning Shirong did not move much, that is, the TV series "Past Love" produced by DynaSky and "Stewardess" were facing each other at the same time, which was considered normal competition. However, Mai Xiaoyu should not be taken lightly. Dogs who bite often do not bark.

"I see. Next year, we will mainly focus on these projects. If there are new projects, we can raise funds externally. It really doesn't work. I still have a lot of money in my hands, and I can use it for the company's turnover first."

Mai Xiaoyu smiled lightly, saying that he had considered this issue.

The increased investment puts pressure on the company's capital chain. Mai Xiaoyu is not worried because he has a lot of personal assets.

The value of a large number of real estate hoarded in the past has already doubled; there are also various high incomes brought by four clones, such as royalties, manuscript fees, copyright fees, film remuneration, etc., his personal assets have already easily exceeded 100 million.

Starting this year, the company suddenly increased the number of projects and increased the amount of investment in each project because the time was ripe for him to achieve his small goals.

Achieving small goals requires capital, a lot of money.

He just wants to complete the final ammunition preparation through the high returns brought by many projects in the next two or three years, and then make a fatal blow, over the sky!

No matter what bad tricks Ning Shirong has been holding in the past few months, Mai Xiaoyu is ready to take Qingtian and Ning Shirong away and achieve his small goals.

Ning Shirong didn't know the small goal in Mai Xiaoyu's heart, even if he knew it, he wouldn't believe it.

As a giant, how can Qingtian be swallowed by a mean and cute person?

He also prepared a fatal blow for Mai Xiaoyu, ready to thoroughly understand the grievances between the two.

After several months of cultivation and endurance for several months, seeing that it was the end of the year, he was preparing for activities. While testing Mai Xiaoyu's vigilance, he continued to paralyze Mai Xiaoyu, preparing for a fatal blow in the future.

Since it was for paralysis, this time he decided not to use existence as before, but to hide Qingtian behind the scenes and find another "gun".

In the lavish office, Ning Shirong Da Ma Jindao sits on the sand, holding red wine.

Zhang Ruilin, Pei Pengbing, Tian Ye and Liu Lei sat around, while Liu Lei was still taking the cigar test for him.

"Young Master Rong, the cigar is ready."

Liu Lei handed the cigar to Ning Shirong with a flattering smile and lit it on his behalf.

Ning Shirong put down his wine glass, took a sip of his cigar, and asked, "Moeren has a good momentum recently. I heard that it is still negotiating cooperation with Disney. A grass-to-head company is getting bigger and bigger."

Liu Lei flattered and said: "It is a grassroots company when it is bigger. How can it be compared with Shao Rong? As long as Shao Rong is willing, he can be crushed to death with a finger at any time."

"You don't need to flatter me, what I need is someone who can do things." Ning Shirong glanced at him coldly and asked Zhang Ruilin, "Have you finished studying the cute artist contract?"

Zhang Ruilin said concisely: "I have looked for someone to study ~lightnovelpub.net~ there are loopholes in the contract. If you sue, you have a certain chance of winning."

Ning Shirong nodded and asked Pei Pengbing again, "How are your arrangements?"

"It's arranged. They have been in contact with Deng Chao and his agent many times. If you count the time, Mengren should also receive the offer. It depends on how Mengren reacts."

Ning Shirong looked at the director Tian Ye again: "You have a good idea this time."

Tian Ye said with a humble smile: "It's mainly because I have been filming a lot in recent years, and I have seen similar things in the crew."

Ning Shirong nodded in affirmation; "The filming of "Past Love" was good. I have already said hello to President Huang. From now on, as long as you get a good book, his resources will be given priority to you. Didn't you say Has Mai Xiaoyu ever slapped you in the face, then you should work harder and try to make a TV series as soon as possible, overwhelm him, and slap him."

Huang is always the eo of Qingtian Film and Television, and he is also a member of Ning Zhiyuan's group. With Ning Shirong's greeting, Tian Ye has a completely different position among the several TV drama directors under Qingtian Film and Television.

He was able to get this treatment not because the ratings of "Past Love" were good, but because he gave Ning Shirong an idea-the correct posture of the cute entertainer was recognized by Ning Shirong.

"Okay, go ahead and do it."

Pei Pengbing, Tian Ye, and Liu Lei turned and left the office. Zhang Ruilin hesitated for a moment, then got up and wanted to leave.

Ning Shirong noticed that Zhang Ruilin had something to say, and stopped him.

"Young Master Rong, any other instructions?"

"Do you have something to say?"

"No, no."

Ning Shirong remained silent, looking at him blankly.

After a while, Zhang Ruilin said, "I don't think it makes sense to do this."

What idea did Tian Ye come up with?

Find someone to seduce and attract cute male stars!
