I am a leader in the entertainment industry

Chapter 64: Subconscious

“There is only one reason: the risk is too great. It takes at least a year for a TV series to be prepared, produced, distributed, broadcasted, and paid for. Before a TV series is broadcast, no one knows whether it will be a hit. If it fails, the investment will basically go down the drain.”

Xiao Jiaer looked at Li Qi and said,”Li Qi, listen to me. After we sell this drama, don’t get involved in this mess again.”

“I know you like being an actor, filming movies, and you can also write songs and books. Even if you want to develop in the film and television industry, then just be an actor. After getting the pay, whether it is a loss or a profit is none of your business. How worry-free!”

Li Qi pondered for a while and said,”Sister Jiaer, let me tell you my idea first. There are two main reasons why I want to open a film and television company.”

“First of all, I am optimistic about the future development of the film and television industry, but I didn’t expect that the broadcasting channels would be so troublesome. This was beyond my expectation.”

“The second point is also the most crucial one. I really want to develop in the film and television industry, but the right to speak in the industry is basically in the hands of investors and producers. If you want to stand out, you can only wait slowly. Good opportunities will never fall on your head like pie in the sky.”

“Especially the entertainment industry is clique-based and exclusive, such as Beijing, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Shanghai, and Northwest China. As a result, it is even more difficult to get good resources and opportunities. My original intention of opening this film and television company was, on the one hand, to make the movies I like, and on the other hand, to promote myself and make money without doing anything!”

Xiao Jiaer nodded after pondering,”Then I understand. If that’s the case, let’s change the way we play. From now on, we will only invest in the works you star in, which is equivalent to bringing money into the group. We will try not to touch other dramas.”

“But in this case, wouldn’t our film and television company become my personal studio?”

Xiao Jiaer glanced at him and said,”Our company is originally a makeshift team. If you weren’t me… you’ve been my good partner for many years. Forget it, it’s my turn to be yours.”

Li Qi smiled and walked over to help Xiao Jiaer pat her shoulders:”Sister Jiaer, you should have watched our drama. What do you think? How much money can you make?”

Xiao Jiaer smiled and said,”Since the company’s development policy has been decided, I will tell you the truth. In fact, you are right. There is still a lot of room for development in the TV drama industry!”

Li Qi cooperated and said,”Oh, what do you mean?”

“Let me tell you this, take this drama as an example, for ordinary local channels, it is not a problem to sell one episode for 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.

Thirty-five episodes can be sold at 2 million yuan, and if sold to 20 or 30 channels, that is 50 million yuan.

If one satellite channel sells to 7 million yuan, and sells to 4 or 5 channels, that is 30 million yuan.

Add to that the copyright sold to online videos, and the copyright of audio-visual products, and you can probably make at least 100 million yuan.

”

“Of course, if the ratings are high, the price can be raised. That’s not all. There are also second-round and third-round broadcast rights and rebroadcast rights. These are probably the income from investing in a play.”

“The only problem is the payment collection. If we do this, the payment collection cycle will be very long and the operating cost will be very high.”

Li Qi said:”What you said before scared me so much that I wanted to back out.”

Xiao Jiaer said seriously:”The problems I mentioned are real. No one knows what a drama will be like before it is filmed.”

“If the movie turns out to be a bunch of rubbish, let alone the second and third rounds, even the first broadcast rights won’t be sold. I said that just to remind you not to ignore the risks. The investment in a movie is at least tens of millions, and we, a small family, can’t afford to lose it.

If you think about those big productions carefully, most of them have TV stations backing them up. They have established upstream and downstream channels and use advertising fees as production costs. In other words, they use part of the profits to offset the risks, at least to ensure that they will not lose money. But we can’t do that.”

Li Qi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this:”In other words, as long as the film is good, you can still make money?”

“Um…, you can understand it this way.” Xiao Jiaer was choked,”I said so much, and this is the conclusion you came up with?”

Li Qi said:”Sister Jiaer, you should have said it earlier. I dare not say anything else, but I think my vision is still good in this regard.”

“This is not a matter of vision.” Xiao Jiaer was a little anxious,”Risk! Risk! Risk! Did you listen to what I said?”

Li Qi gently pressed her neck with his fingers and quickly comforted her:”I heard it. For a small family like us, stability must be the first priority. In the future, I will only invest in the dramas I star in, and try not to invest in other dramas, right?”

“.Yeah.” Xiao Jiaer took a breath,”That’s about it.” (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“So let’s just say this about the drama”Startling by Each Step”, as long as it can make money, it’s fine”

“Well, the main reason I talk to you about this is to determine the direction of the company’s development. As for the issue of issuance, I will discuss it with you, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Sister Jiaer, Ning Hao called me and said that the production of Crazy Stone is almost done and will start in a few days. I want you to be the producer of this drama! I am worried without you to take charge of the finances.”

Xiao Jiaer patted her forehead and said,”You’re always looking for trouble for me. Let Yang Xue do it for me. To be honest, TV series are better, but movies are a real mess. With a small budget of several million and a small director and actors, it probably won’t even have a chance to enter the theater. Look at the actors Ning Hao found, they are all ugly. I have a strong feeling that this is a money-losing movie.”

(Xiao Jiaer looked at Li Qi with strange eyes and said,”I really doubt whether your brain was broken at that time.”

“Hehe, sister Jiaer is wrong about this. I guess this movie will definitely make money. Do you want to make a bet with me?”

“hehe……”Xiao Jiaer sneered,”I really don’t believe it, what do you want to bet on!”

Li Qi thought for a moment and said,”If you lose, you should ask my brother to drag you privately!”

“What……”Xiao Jiaer was very angry and jumped up from her seat.

Li Qi’s hands slid from her neck to the dangerous part[]

Li Qi pinched it subconsciously

Xiao Jiaer:”……”

Li Qi asked righteously,”How about it? If you win, I will give you my hundred pounds to do whatever you want with. Are you afraid to gamble?””

Xiao Jiaer sneered and said:”Who dares not to be a puppy? Just wait for death!”
