My Entertainment Circle

Chapter 777 Multi-party talks about cooperation

In the afternoon, Zhang Pingan and Luo Rui left the company together. Because the two of them made an appointment with the representatives of Damimi Company, they also made an appointment with Penguin and Kiwi. People from the two video companies talked about the specific introduction model of TV series today, mainly about the advertising sharing.

In the Ritz-Carlton Hotel cafe in Shanghai, Zhang Pingan and manager Luo Rui were waiting for the representative of Damimi. The two drank coffee while chatting about the future development of the company. Luo Rui said: "Mr. Zhang, China's entertainment market has developed very rapidly in the past two years. Even video companies have joined in the production of variety shows. Are you still not planning to produce programs in China?"

Zhang Ping'an took a sip of the coffee. Warm coffee is the most comfortable drink in winter. He smiled and responded: "After I finish what I am making this year, I will start to shift my focus to China."

Luo Rui nodded and said: "What do you think the future will be..."

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "It's hard to say what will happen in the future. However, no matter what happens, it won't have a big impact on me. What I should make is making money. I don't care about other things. Even if it's If there is no light in the east, the west will..."

Zhang Ping'an didn't utter the last word, because the mobile phone he placed on the table made a loud noise. The software that sent the letter was not Weixin, but Line. Most people using this software are in Japan and Taiwan. Zhang Ping'an sent a message to his 'wife' far away in Tokyo, asking her to come to China today if she had no work arrangements in Tokyo.

Yui replied to the message at this time. There were not many long words in it, there was only one flight information, information from Tokyo to Shanghai. We took off at 6:30 in the evening and arrived in Shanghai at 9:10.

After seeing the message, Zhang Ping'an replied: 'Received, I will wait for you at the airport exit in the evening. ’

After Zhang Pingan put down his mobile phone, Luo Rui said: "Then our company in China still focuses on investment in TV series?"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "Well, I will only vote for TV series. The movie industry is too muddy at the moment, and I don't want to get involved. I will ask Kiwi and Penguin later if they are interested in producing a program together. However, we have to wait until It’s the second half of the year. I’ve been busy lately.”

Hearing that Zhang Pingan had plans to produce variety shows in China, Luo Rui said with a smile: "Can we arrange for more artists from our company to participate?"

Zhang Pingan said: "We have signed many new people recently?"

Luo Rui looked at Zhang Ping'an strangely and said, "Don't agencies train their own newcomers? We have recently signed some very potential ones, and they all graduated from vocational schools. Their overall appearance conditions are also very good. of.

After all, this era has begun to look at faces..."

Yes, the times have begun to focus on appearance, so the appearance of celebrities has become one of the basic conditions. If you want to become popular, you must first have good appearance to attract others. As for those with ordinary looks, you can just be a supporting role. There is only one "Baby King" among 1.4 billion Chinese people, so not every bitch or ordinary-looking person will have a day to shine, and even if they do, it may not necessarily fall on you.

Zhang Pingan said: "Anyway, we have a lot of dramas in hand, so let's promote them slowly. Recommending actors cannot be done overnight!"

.......

While the two were chatting, Zheng Jia, the representative of Damimi Company, arrived. After she briefly greeted Zhang Pingan, Zhang Pingan directly showed her the first two episodes of the script without being verbose.

After quickly reading the script, she raised her head and said to Zhang Ping'an: "Mimi just sent a letter saying that Director Zhang also has a high degree of confidence in this TV series? He said that this TV series is not inferior to "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" Adaptation of the novel?"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "Both novels have their own merits in terms of novels. I personally think this one has the potential to be equal to it. But the creation of the script and the production of post-production special effects, etc., are all very interesting in the TV series. , so I thought the investment this time could be slightly larger.”

As a leader in the film and television industry, she certainly knows that post-production is the most expensive part. She nodded and said: "Is it estimated that 100 million yuan will be invested in filming this script?"

Zhang Pingan responded: "Well, it is estimated to be 100 million. I should say at least 100 million. If there are other additional projects in the later production, we will continue to invest. The quality of the TV series is still bad, but it is still related to the money invested."

Zheng Jia said: "That's for sure. The amount of investment is directly linked to the quality. Director Zhang, what kind of cooperation method do you plan to use?"

Zhang Ping'an hesitated for a while and said: "Five to five, this way no one of us will suffer. To be honest, I want to invest more, but I won't let some shares come out. I'm afraid that in the future, even your company will become someone else's." "No, I don't want Fatty to live a hard life with you."

"Our Mimi's salary..." When Zheng Jia was talking about the salary, Zhang Ping'an stopped and interrupted: "The salary is too high, so I will replace him. Anyway, there are many actors who can replace Da Mimi. Do you think so?" Right? The salary is based on the reasonable market price, and I will keep Pang Di’s second position. I have given you all the benefits of my kindness to your company!”

To get the first and second female, this must be the most ideal thing for them. However, the most ordinary investors can occupy the average weight class of actors... it is considered appropriate, right?

Zheng Jia said: "Okay, when will the TV series start filming?"

Zhang Ping'an thought for a while and said: "Maybe in the second half of the year, because there is still a lot of preparation to be done in the early stage, including costume design and scene stage design. The finished product will be broadcast early next year at the latest!"

"Okay, how about I go to your company to sign a contract tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Zhang Ping'an nodded in response.

In fact, for Damimi, the "gambling agreement" signed by her company is a huge gamble in itself. If she goes to film TV series and movies step by step, she may not be able to meet the requirements of "gambling" even if she is exhausted to death. horizontal line. The only way out is to invest in works, and it requires a big return on a big investment. This time, Damimi's company also participated as an investor in the movie shot in South Korea.

Just then, the people from Penguin Platform arrived. Zheng Jia looked at the acquaintance on Penguin Video and laughed: "Mr. Wang, why are you here today?"

Mr. Wang from Penguin Video said with a smile: "Isn't this personally invited by Boss Zhang? Then I will definitely come over for the meeting. It is a rare opportunity to meet Boss Zhang in China."

After shaking hands with several people, Zhang Pingan invited him to sit down, but Zheng Jia was not in a hurry to leave. She sat nearby and wanted to hear what new collaboration Zhang Pingan had with Penguin Video?

Mr. Wang said with a smile: "I heard from the director of our program group that the assistant host 'Wang Jack' of the Chinese version of "Please Take Care of the Refrigerator" was recommended by Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "Well, I met him a few times in Korea. He was a very polite kid. So I had a chance in China and he made a Korean variety show, so I recommended him. I took a look. As a result, his performance was pretty good.”

Mr. Wang said: "Well, Jack Wang's performance is quite good. By the way, when I came over, the screenwriter of "Please Help the Refrigerator" told me that the show team planned to shoot the finale of the last season in South Korea. I don’t know, PD Zhang, can you arrange Kim Taeyeon’s schedule for us?”

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "Taeyeon? Okay, I'll contact S.M later and you can send me the shooting schedule."

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, can you participate in this show?"

Zhang Pingan shook his head and refused: "I have a lot of things to do recently. I have a variety show to do, Taeyeon's music album to do, and the second season of "New Journey to the West" to be filmed. That’s right. Is your channel interested in buying the exclusive broadcast rights for the same period in China this time?”

"Of course I bought it. The last 'Season 1' was also exclusively broadcast on our platform."

Luo Rui looked at Zhang Pingan and Lao Wang on the other side of the video. After chatting for a long time without talking about TV series-related issues, he said, "Mr. Wang, I'm asking you out this time. We invested in it last year." The production of a new large-scale 'Korean' TV series is completed."

Mr. Wang said: "Didn't I give your company a quotation? The purchase price of an episode is three hundred thousand dollars?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "We have invested a lot in this TV series. And the price offered by Kiwi is NT$320,000 per episode. But we are very knowledgeable about this TV series. So we want to participate in the advertising share."

Mr. Wang smiled and said, "Oh? Do you want a share of advertising? So how many clicks do you think this TV series can get?"

Zhang Pingan smiled slightly and said with great confidence: "For this drama, we will add at least 5 million registered members to your platform."

For a video platform, five million registered members is a considerable amount of data, and Penguin has always been a money maker, so Mr. Wang looked at Zhang Pingan seriously and said, "You are so sure you can Add five million registered members?”

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "Of course, I have watched the post-edited film, so I was conquered by the charm of this drama. Moreover, one of my advertisements for this drama in Korea cost me one billion won." !”

Mr. Wang said: "It is understood that when you asked for one billion advertising fees for this drama, you signed a bet to ensure that the ratings exceeded 30%? How about you also sign a bet with our platform? "
