There was a popular topic before: Why does Aiyouteng lose money every year?

The public explanation is: the cost of content procurement is too high!

In fact, the real reason is that there are too many bad dramas!

Let's put it this way, even if you spend 500 million to buy a TV series, if the TV series is popular for 5 or even 10 years, the average price is only 100 million a year. If you make a sequel, an extra episode, etc., you will still make a mess.

That's not how the Internet works.

iQiyi, Huanrui, Tengxun Video and Xinli TV have all signed long-term cooperation agreements, customized dramas, and locked in big stars and IPs. No matter how bad the filming is, they will buy them at a high price.

How high is it?

For example, iQiyi produces 10 S+-level major productions a year, with a total copyright expenditure of 5 billion!

S+ big production - either a big star, a big IP, or a high-priced special effects team!

A bad drama like "Ace Force" cost 283 million, and iQiyi spent 300 million to buy it...

This drama can be discussed on Weibo for more than a month, so I’ve written so many years of Chinese entertainment articles in vain!

Sure enough, no one discussed it anymore...

On average, the monthly expenditure is 300 million!

Spend the most money and make the worst drama. That's it. If you don't lose money, who will?

Back to the topic, to achieve this, one or several reliable teams are needed, and the sun at noon is good...

In addition, Guo Songjiang hired Liang Shengquan and Lin Yufen, both of whom were Tang Ren's assistant directors before.

The original time and space was poached by Huanrui, and now it is poached by Changlin Film and Television. The good news will not go to outsiders!

It’s not poaching, I just asked them to co-direct "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" and "A Little Smile Is Alluring"...

I just didn’t bring Tang Ren with me!

Anyway, if they stay in Tang Ren, they will always be Li Guoli's deputy, and they will be the chief director when they come out!

…

For the project "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", Shen Changlin actually didn't expect it at first...

After all, I have too many copyrights!

Moreover, he doesn’t attach much importance to ancient puppet shows.

Most importantly, this drama seems to involve plagiarism or something...

It was Liu Shishi who asked him about the copyright of the play that made him remember...

Liu Shishi asked because Cai Yinong was interested in "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".

Tang Ren’s forum, where Lao Cai often floods his forum, many netizens suggest that Tang Ren should film "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom"...

In the original time and space, the copyright of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" was sold to Tang Ren, but it was never filmed. When it expired, it was sold to Huace. Then Huace found Yang Xiaomi, and finally Huace and Jiaxing collaborated on the filming.

Then, Yang Xiaomi ushered in the second explosion of her career, reinventing herself as the Queen and King of the Ancient Puppet Show.

Then I realized that the correct way to play is to return after half a life and still be the heroine Guwu...

It has always been popular in ancient times, including "Fuyao", "Mrs. Huzhu", including "Jiao Zang"...

Back to the subject, why has Lao Cai never made a film? Firstly, he may have no money, and secondly, he is not optimistic about it. After all, the Sword and Sword series is so easy to make that he doesn’t have to worry about sales.

Rejecting Cai Yinong's copyright transfer proposal, Shen Changlin immediately approached Guo Songjiang and proposed to prepare "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".

Then I asked Zhao Shan to do some market research, and she posted on Weibo that she was planning to change this project. What suggestions do you have...

Then, the number of discussions reached tens of thousands!

Don’t say anything like ‘Liu Yifei must play Bai Qian…’ or ‘Ye Hua, I highly recommend Brother Hu and Peng Yuyan’…

The enthusiasm of netizens alone made the company determined that it can do it!

Then it's the usual ordeal again - who's going to sleep with Liu Yifei?

90% of the online suggestions for Liu Yifei to play Bai Qian!

We can't go against netizens.

The problem is, Liu Yifei has decided to be a movie actor and is unlikely to make an exception for TV series.

"Meng Hua Lu" was cast because there were really no acting appointments for her...

What did Changlin Film and Television do to make her excited?

Do you want your boss to sacrifice yourself?

I won’t mention this for now, Xue Xiaolu is here.

She came to be interviewed and discuss the casting of "The Thing in the Palm" with Shen Changlin.

It was an interview with "China Film Report", which can be regarded as the last wave of promotion for "33 Days of Love".

…

It's not really an interview, it's a bit like an interview.

Shen Changlin and Xue Xiaolu were sitting, Yao Miao asked questions, and the camera was focused on the three of them.

"Regarding the project "33 Days After Love", could I ask, when you took over the filming, did you consider the box office?"

By the way, "33 Days After Love" has become a dark horse movie in the past ten years...

"No." I’ll take the movie!”

"Why use new actors?"

"Because their audition performance was so suitable! We thought that even if the box office fails, the reputation will not be too bad, so we can treat it as two super newcomers to the Chinese film industry..."

"Did Producer Shen do anything during the filming process?"

Xue Xiaolu looked at Shen Changlin, a little unsure: "Went to the crew for a day?"

"Well, we were dragged in by our producer Li Xiaoping..." Shen Changlin smiled: "I think the best producer is to choose the director and don't care about anything, trust the director, respect the director... and Director Xue's ability I know very well..."

"So Chang Lin, which identity do you prefer? Producer or director?"

"It doesn't matter to me, it's all the same to me. If I'm interested in a drama but don't really want to direct it, I'll choose to be the producer..."

"So, the first condition for you to agree to be the producer is that you are interested in this drama?"

"right!"

"Director Xue, will you continue to cooperate?"

Xue Xiaolu nodded: "Of course, in fact, in November last year, Chang Lin asked me to write a theme, an anti-idol drama theme... I have almost finished writing..."

"An iconoclastic drama?"

Shen Changlin explained: "I have seen a saying before: What is the difference between a domineering president and a stinky hooligan? Many people say that 'a domineering president will be shy when flirting with women, but a hooligan will make people disgusted.' The reason is that a domineering president is handsome, and a hooligan is Most of them are terrible, but I can’t figure out why the domineering president can become the leading actor since the behavior is the same?”

Xue Xiaolu added: "Then we read a lot of banquet novels on the Internet, and the behavior of the domineering president in them was no longer just a hooligan, it was simply a walking criminal law!"

"This situation is not right. Why can we forgive the overbearing president for committing crimes? So, I asked Teacher Xue to write an anti-idol drama... called "The Thing in the Palm"..."

Promote "Things in the Palm" in advance...

"What about movies?"

"Yes, some time ago we discussed the issue of going to the United States to have a baby, and we might make a movie about it."

This may not be broadcast, after all, going to the United States to give birth is a sensitive topic.

We chatted a little more about "33 Days of Love" and promoted the drama version and the drama version. The people from "China Film Report" left.
Chapter completed!
