Chapter 54 Earning(2/2)
Xu Rongqian laughed twice and said: "I am going to buy the copyright of "The Ming Dynasty"."
Liu Yanming glanced at him and asked, "Why are you buying the copyright?"
"I think this drama can make money."
"How much will it cost?"
"Forty million."
Liu Yanming looked at him doubtfully and said, "You can't, right? At this price, Hunan TV doesn't make much money, right?"
"Other expenses are five million."
"Fuck, that's so bad." Liu Yanming cursed subconsciously, understanding what Xu Rong meant. "The Ming Dynasty" was invested and produced by Hunan TV. Three years have passed since it was first broadcast. It can be said that
Didn't make a penny.
Holding it in my hand, I always feel panicked. When it comes to selling it, the price offered by all parties is not high because of the lessons learned from the two broadcasts and two suspensions.
But whether it is a loss or not is a matter within the platform. Some people just need to put the money in their own pockets and maintain the appearance of being reasonable.
In the past, similar incidents abounded when state-owned factories were restructured.
Xu Rong nodded and said: "This is just for the sake of the acquaintance, the usual price is 50 million fixed price."
Liu Yanming pondered for a while and said: "I don't recommend you buy it. This drama has been broadcast twice. The first time the ratings were 0.5, and the second time was even worse, 0.2. The Internet was full of scoldings. Douban
The rating is 2.7, but not many people agree on it. I think you should think about it carefully. If you throw 45 million into it, you won’t even hear a sound."
"I don't think so."
Liu Yanming looked at his expression, smiled, and said, "You didn't buy this drama to make money, right?"
Xu Rong chuckled and said, "I have an immature idea. I'm going to..."
After Liu Yanming listened to Xu Rong's idea, he was dumbfounded for a long time before he came back to his senses and said, "Isn't it a bit unethical for you to do this?"
At this time, he completely understood that Xu Rong currently had too much money and no place to spend it, so he spent 45 million on it just to make himself feel good.
Xu Rong waved his hand and said: "Whatever, it's all a matter of sesame seeds and millet. If I don't tell you, if you don't tell me, who knows?"
"Hahaha."
After laughing, Liu Yanming remembered another thing and said: "Liu Heping came to me a while ago to attract investment. He said that you will be the lead actor, and Chen Baoguo and others will also star. It's true.
What?"
"Yes, that's what happened."
Liu Yanming slapped the table and said, "Don't you think this is nonsense? A TV series costs 80 million, so it's not such a trick to trick people."
When Xu Rong heard the figures mentioned by Liu Yanming, his hand that was about to hold the wine glass stopped because he and Liu Heping had estimated that if this movie was filmed, it would cost around 130 million.
Looking back, he completely understood the reason. It should be that Liu Heping himself felt that 130 million was too sensational, so he first reduced the budget by one-third, and then continued to ask for money from investors after the production was started.
There is no way, with an investment of 130 million, not even a TV series, even a big-budget movie, not many film companies would dare to try it easily.
Xu Rong understands the specific reasons. On the one hand, the actors' remuneration is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is caused by the huge budget of location, props and the six-month-long shooting period.
When he saw Liu Yanming looking at him, he knew that he was indeed interested in the script, but because of the huge investment, he did not dare to be cruel, and said: "Actually, let me tell you the bottom line, eighty million, there is no way to film it. If
According to Liu Heping's estimate, even if all the actors in this drama reduce their salary, the minimum salary will be 100 million."
