Entertainment: Top Agents

After returning from Hengdian, Dilraba is also going to attend the launch of the TV series.

Liang Lin didn't follow him, he still had things to deal with.

When they came to Ciwen Company, Liang Lin met Ciwen’s Mr. Ma.

"Mr. Liang, I'm sorry to trouble you."After Mr. Ma saw Liang Lin, he naturally welcomed him with a smile.

After entering the conference room, he started to get into the topic.

This time we talked about the issue of"The Biography of Chu Qiao", so Liang Lin didn't want to be too long.

"Mr. Ma has also said before that if he wants to invite our Liying to star in this TV series"

"There are no special requirements. I have to shoot the entire book, not half of it."

Liang Lin picked up the tea cup and drank tea, explaining his attitude to Mr. Ma.

Ciwen's Mr. Ma is also very difficult to deal with now.

Rebirth Entertainment's attitude is too tough, which makes him not know how to deal with

Ciwen. Ciwen's current situation is particularly dangerous, with losses and no profits for consecutive years. He almost went bankrupt last year, if he hadn't secured an investment to support him.

To be honest, Ciwen would have declared bankruptcy this year.

……

Obviously, Liang Lin also knew about this.

《After he obtained the film and television drama rights of"A Thousand Bones of Flowers" in advance, Ciwen missed this work that could save"430" and their company, so Ciwen still faced bankruptcy last year.

Originally, if this TV series was produced by Ciwen, after it was broadcast, it would be Zhao Liying who saved Ciwen Film and Television, which was about to go bankrupt.

But because Liang Lin was the first to seize the film and television adaptation rights of this TV series, this work became a work of Rebirth Entertainment, so of course Ciwen is now at a critical moment of life and death.

Liang Lin originally wanted to help them, but because he had taken away the resources of their work"A Thousand Bones of Flowers", he helped them once.

They just gave him a movie script to produce, and then changed the script of"The Legend of Chu Qiao" to Rebirth Entertainment.

But Ciwen's boss Ma was too smart, which meant that the movie script given by Liang Lin was not good.

And Liang Lin also liked the work"Chu Qiao Biography", which means that this IP is better. Ciwen's

Mr. Ma realized this and rejected Liang Lin's resource exchange proposal.

After all, Huace, who had previously exchanged resources with Rebirth Entertainment, suffered from this.

Liang Lin gave Huace the movie script"Why is the Shengxiao Silent", and the movie was criticized miserably.

From this point on, Mr. Ma from Ciwen realized that the notebooks given by Liang Lin for resource replacement were not good.

But what he didn't know was that when Huace and Liang Lin asked for the film adaptation rights of"Why Shengxiaomo", he had reminded Huace's president that there was no commercial potential for turning the book into a movie.

It was Huace's boss who refused to listen and insisted on the film adaptation rights.

In this case, Liang Lin certainly couldn't say anything else.

But what he didn't know was that the kind-hearted Mr. Ma was too smart

……

And Ciwen's Ma always thinks about filming two seasons of"The Legend of Chu Qiao".

One and a half books were filmed in the first season, and after Zhao Liying made the IP popular, she started to promote newcomers.

In this way, they Ciwen can earn even more.

But he doesn't want to think about it. The current market likes the original cast to appear in the second season.

With such an operation, Mr. Ma is seeking death.

Liang Lin couldn't help but want to say:"You are just seeking death; if you don't do it, you will die.""

"Mr. Liang, it’s not that we don’t want to finish filming the whole movie, but now our Ciwen Company doesn’t have enough funds."

Mr. Ma was very distressed and told Liang Lin how to complain.

Liang Lin, who was drinking tea, was also very happy:"Then you might as well transfer this project to us."

"Then that will definitely not work, right? Haha~" Mr. Ma will definitely not agree to give this book to them.

"Don’t you just want me to invest in it?"Liang Lin has never seen such strong winds and waves.

"Hehe~" Mr. Ma smiled and said:"In this case, Mr. Liang, if you want to film the entire work, it is completely possible. We, Ciwen, will cooperate with Rebirth Entertainment. In this case, how will the show be filmed and produced? , you, Rebirth Entertainment, have the final say."

Liang Lin, who was drinking tea, had already had this plan, but there was a problem with it.

"Tell me, how much did you Ciwen invest? How many points do you get?"

If we want to talk, let's talk about cooperation.

"We invest 150 million and get 50 points, and we split it half and half. Mr. Ma looked very happy.

But Liang Lin shook his head and said:"If the entire drama is finished filming, the cost will be more than 300 million.""

"And you invested 150 million and you want to shoot half of it? I'm sorry, our Liying will no longer appear in this drama."Liang Lin answered decisively and refused to appear in this drama.

"No, Mr. Liang, please don’t be like this. 150 million is already our current limit in Ciwen."

"We in Ciwen are not as wealthy as you at Rebirth Entertainment."

"150 million is really our limit now at Ciwen."Mr. Ma struggled to tell Liang Lin.

Of course Liang Lin knew about it, but he had no intention of forcing Ciwen.

"Mr. Ma, if you don’t have enough funds, why are you unwilling to replace resources?"

"I know you guys want to use this show to make a comeback, and I understand."

"I can understand that you don't agree to film the entire"The Legend of Chu Qiao". After all, your funds are indeed not spare, and you can't support the filming of the entire drama."

"But you want to make half of the work, and then let"The Legend of Chu Qiao Season 1" give you Ciwen a turnaround, and finally support new people in the second season, so that you will make more money, and so will I. Know."

Liang Lin revealed this, which made Mr. Ma very embarrassed.

"But is it useful? Do you think 150 million was used to film and produce Chu Qiao Biography? Do you think the quality of Chu Qiao Biography produced at such a cost is really acceptable? If the quality is not enough, how can we help Ciwen come back to life?"

"I don't ask for extravagant prices, just follow the current market price." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Zhao Liying's salary is 800,000/episode. I think you only shot 58 episodes in the first season of"The Legend of Chu Qiao""

"Just like this, our Liying’s TV series salary is 46.4 million.."

"The remaining 103.6 million, you tell me you want to shoot?"

"The first male lead, the second female lead, and the third male lead. I don’t count them too much. The total salary of these three people is 40 million."

"The four actors alone are 86.4 million. The remaining 63.6 million includes the filming expenses and daily expenses of the crew. I don’t count them as much. I only count the salary of the crew and shooting costs of the entire drama as 30 million for you."

"Then there is 33.6 million left. What about the actors' salaries for other supporting roles? What about extra actors' pay?"

"What about post-production fees? I didn’t even talk to you about the special effects0...."

"Tell me, how are you going to shoot for 150 million?"Liang Lin asked him how he was going to film this TV series now.

After saying this, Ciwen's Mr. Ma became silent and autistic.

Even if it is really produced for 150 million yuan, how can the quality be so good?

If the quality is not good, it will not be able to save Ciwen from his current predicament when the time comes, and they will be even more desperate, and they will eventually go bankrupt.

"So what would you say is the ideal investment for this drama?"

Ciwen's Mr. Ma wants to hear what Liang Lin means and see what he thinks.

Liang Lin is also very straightforward:"You Ciwen are stupid because you are stupid in a good IP. It is seriously watered. After watching it, Adapted from your script, this novel has a total of 1.25 million words."

"But when you adapted it into a TV series, there were 110"

"I don’t need to say more about how much plot there is here, right?"

Liang Lin pointedly exposed this point, which made Ciwen's boss very embarrassed.

"I don’t count others. Zhao Liying is worth 800,000 per episode, and the male lead is worth 500,000 per episode."

"The male and female protagonists only earn 1.3 million per episode, and the total remuneration is 143 million."

"In addition, the salary of all the actors is added up, and the salary of the starring, supporting actors, extras, and director of the entire drama is at least 200 million."

"But what if this TV series deleted at least 30 episodes of water-filled plots?"

"This will save 39 million yuan in remuneration from the male and female protagonists."

As soon as Liang Lin finished speaking, Mr. Ma wanted to say something.

But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Liang Lin:"Do you think that when the time comes to sell the copyright, you will get an extra 30 episodes of copyright fees, no? ?"

"Ha, naive; before signing a contract for a TV series, the platform must first see the production level of the TV series."

"Brands need to watch at least a quarter of the plot before they can judge whether your drama is worth the copyright price you want."

"The platform is not taking advantage of you. Is this your first day in this industry?"

"Moreover, if the production of TV series is not sophisticated enough, then you will not be able to export it to overseas markets."

"Without overseas markets, half of the income will be lost."

"That’s why I said you Ciwen are stupid. No wonder you are facing bankruptcy now."

Liang Lin's blunt words made Mr. Ma look very embarrassed.

Although he wanted to refute, he felt that what Liang Lin said was correct.

Only good TV series can let the audience see that your company is serious and responsible.

Only then I will look forward to your subsequent works.

If the quality of the works you produce is too poor and everyone is disappointed with you, then your company will have no value in everyone's eyes, and of course the stock price will fall.

"Mr. Liang, if we follow your suggestion, after deleting 30 episodes from episode 110"

"How much is the total production cost to film an 80-episode TV series?"

"But we Ciwen can really only spend 150 million now. Also, how many points are our dividends?"

Mr. Ma was too lazy to beat around the bush, because they don't have the capital now.

Liang Lin, who was asked the question, thought about it and said to him,"If you adapt the script to me, delete the water-filled plot, and then summarize it into If there are 80 episodes, the cost of filming the entire series will be 400 million."
