In fact, being a director to the level of Shen Changlin is already quite good!

Now he can easily raise funds for any project he wants to do...

A bunch of capital chased him and stuffed him with money.

The company's five-year plan is ready - copyright operations!

In addition, he invested in some comedy teams, such as Mahua. As for himself, in addition to directing, he also gathered young directors in the form of a producer.

The focus is on content production.

In terms of capital, he can't compete with others, and since he has shares in ByteDance, he is not short of money...

As for going public…

Anyway, it is not in his plan, but if there is an opportunity, he will not refuse it. After all, he still wants to acquire Maoyan...

"Palace 2" will be broadcast on January 20th...

"The Thing in the Palm" is broadcast in prime time, and "Palace 2" is broadcast exclusively in Golden Eagle Theater at 10 o'clock, not in the same time slot.

However, according to ratings statistics, on the day of its premiere, "Palace 2" had a premiere rating of 1.87 and a share of 7.15...

Although it is number one, it is not high. After all, the premiere rating of "Palace" last year was 1.99, with a viewership share of 8.24%!

And "Palace 2" has a very bad reputation!

On Weibo and forums, there are endless live broadcast posts and complaints about "Palace 2". The starring, plot, and props have all become the subject of heated discussions among netizens.

Especially the heroine Yuan Shanshan, because of her thick lips, she was considered not beautiful enough by the audience. She dared to be the heroine of a costume drama, which is really overestimating her abilities.

Moreover, Zhang Jiani, Shu Chang, Yang Rong, Bai Bing and others who appeared later were considered by netizens to have "looks that surpass the number one female lead by several blocks".

In terms of appearance, she is indeed not the type to be stunning at first glance. At the same time, it may be because netizens feel that they have been deceived - because Yang Xiaomi is so famous, many people think she is the starring role!

By the way, Miss Yuan is also a legendary figure. She made her debut in the Ma drama, and she has appeared in several dramas, including "Palace Locked with Pearls", "Beauty Without Tears", "The King's Woman", "Swordsman", "Palace Locked in the City"...

Boycotted by netizens…

In fact, it is quite normal. The problem of moral mismatch has always dominated the screen, playing some stunningly beautiful heroines, but the acting skills and appearance are really unsatisfactory...

The resources after leaving Yu Ma are also good, and the films they have received are all mainstream commercial films, such as Bona's "So... Married a Black Fan", Wanda's "Lobster Detective", Hong Kong resources "Little Q"...

But it just didn’t turn red!

Later, I appeared in various variety shows, showing off my low emotional intelligence and greasiness, which made me lose myself...

Then again, "Palace 2" is indeed quite popular.

From a commercial perspective, Yu Ma is really great. The cost of "Palace 2" is similar to that of "Palace". Mango Channel's first broadcast purchase price was 1.8 million per episode, and Tengxun Youyi bought out the network rights for 1.85 million per episode...

And then there will be two rounds of simulcasts on eight channels.

Not only that, it is also broadcast overseas...

Yu Ma's drama is based on popular works and relies on excellent original works, which is equivalent to standing on the shoulders of giants and reprocessing them.

And he really dares to bet!

Later, after losing the Qiong Yao plagiarism case and falling into rock bottom, "Story of Yanxi Palace" fought against the odds.

He made no money from this drama. Apart from the actors' remuneration, the production cost was similar to that of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", 270 million, but he spent all the money on the production rather than the actors' remuneration.

"Story of Yanxi Palace" is a huge hit.

He made the right bet. Since then, the dramas he was planning to produce were bought out by major platforms before they were even launched, and the backlog of dramas and small-scale dramas that were temporarily planned were also sold at high prices.

However, the influence of "Palace 2" still cannot exceed that of "The Thing in the Palm"...

After all, the latter is broadcast on four channels, and the plot is at its climax.

"The Thing in the Palm" is very popular, and TV stations in Hong Kong and Macao have the idea of ​​introducing it.

…

Yesterday, the single-day box office of "The Left Ear" was only 2 million, ranking fourth...

Lower than "Detective Sherlock Holmes 2", "Counterattack", "The Magician"...

Of course, the cumulative box office has reached 516 million.

Shen Changlin just looked at it and then ignored it. His mind has now shifted to "Search"...

Since I have been shortlisted for the main competition, I definitely want to win the prize. The problem is, the theme of "Search" is not new at all!

Change your fate against the will of heaven?

Why is it against the sky?

Forget it...

His idea was to not promote Berlin at all and just show it...

But looking at the film schedule - I'm still a little scared. There is really no suitable schedule in the first half of this year. Damn it, from January to June, there are several Hollywood blockbusters every month!

Is it on May 1st?

Come on, Ning Hao, Guan Fang is on board, what is he afraid of?

Such a happy decision!

At this time, he was in the conference room, commending the departments and outstanding employees who had performed well in the past year. As for the reward, in addition to honorary certificates, it was naturally money.

Year-end bonus!

In fact, Changlin Film and Television only has a small number of formal employees, less than 50 people if you add one yuan to the total - the agency company accounts for more than 30 people!

By the way, this commendation was proposed by Shen Changlin, who spent a total of 5 million yuan...

This is early 2012!

Changlin Film and Television's profit last year was close to 500 million, and they gave 5 million as a reward. Shen Changlin really felt that he was already evil enough!

Lao Guo was presiding over the meeting, and Shen Changlin's role was probably the mascot - that's why he could be distracted thinking about "Search"...

It was lively for a while, everyone took photos and uploaded them on Weibo...

By the way, let me show you the benefits...

Shen Changlin concluded: "Okay, let's disband first. It's a rare Spring Festival this year. We won't be making new films. We will take a week off during the Spring Festival!"

"Thank you boss!"

…

"Boss, did you see it?"

"…Um!"

In the office, Shen Changlin has a quote list of actors' remuneration, as well as a cost quote for the TV series...

Zhao Shan gave it to him.

In summary, in one sentence: Actors' salaries have soared, and the cost of TV series is about to exceed 100 million.

How should I put it? Tengxun Video bought the online broadcast rights of "Palace Suo Bead Curtain" for 1.85 million episodes, and "The Secret History of Princess Taiping" sold the online broadcast rights for a total price of 50 million yuan...

Such phenomena all show the wealth and unscrupulousness of capital.

By the way, one is Tengxun and the other is iQiyi...

You earn a lot, so it’s reasonable to give us actors a little more money, right?

There is no good way to curb this situation in the industry, because the entertainment industry is obviously on the rise, and the cycle is short, which can often generate huge profits.

Generating a profit of 100 million yuan in half a year is much easier than many investments and industries, so capital will naturally be jealous and enter the market.

Then it intensified. After the birth of the three costume dramas "The Legend of Mi Yue", "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" and "Flower Thousand Bones", the costume drama market has entered the "100 million" club. Before the audience had time to sigh, "Fantasy City" relied on its The 300-million-dollar production has completely subverted the TV drama market.

Competition between video websites and between TV stations and video websites will drive up TV drama copyright fees;

The entire artificially high market situation will in turn stimulate an increase in actors' remuneration and production costs. This is a vicious circle!

The most important thing is that once actors' pay rises, it will be difficult to bring it down unless there is policy interference.

Zhao Shan smiled: "Do you still think there is no future for artist managers?"

"...But are you sure you can manage five artists at once?"
Chapter completed!
