My singer girlfriend is super fierce
Chapter 175
Under the expectant eyes of the crowd, Ye Zhiqiu was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "I am not going to sell the film and television copyright of "Zhu Xian"."
This answer was beyond everyone's expectations.
Why? ! This was the first thought in everyone's mind.
Are you crazy if you don't want the money that comes to your door? Almost 99% of authors hope that their works can be made into TV series, not only because of the money, but also because it is an excellent way to expand their popularity and influence.
After all, the communication capacity of paper media is limited, and the audience of film and television works is much wider.
When the faces of others froze, Li Wenrui asked in a deep voice: "Why, can you tell me the reason?"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Just think of it as a little persistence in my heart. I don't think it's time yet."
Everyone was silent, and at the same time they were a little puzzled.
Indeed, a small number of authors just can't get along with money, and are very reluctant to let others adapt their hard work. But since Ye Zhiqiu agreed to the sale of the game IP, he doesn't look like that kind of person.
In fact, what Ye Zhiqiu was thinking was that Yu Caiwei also had shares in Huahai Entertainment, and Li Wenrui was Yu Caiwei's uncle, so he couldn't cheat him!
In the previous life, the TV series "Qing Yun Zhi" adapted from "Zhu Xian" was criticized by book fans, and its reputation fell to the bottom.
There are many reasons, but in Ye Zhiqiu's opinion, it is still the lack of money that leads to the poor quality of the work.
At the beginning, the investment in the TV series "Qing Yun Zhi" was more than 200 million, which was absolutely a big production, but apart from the expensive cost of inviting popular actors, there were also publicity fees, etc., leaving the most important budget for special effects production, less than 50 million.
However, the scenes in "Zhu Xian", the pavilions and towers with ethereal fairy spirits, and especially the grand fighting scenes, such as a magic sword to control thunder, every frame is burning funds.
The special effects cost of 50 million, spread out over more than 50 episodes of the TV series, only less than 1 million can be spent on special effects in each episode.
Isn't one million enough? For example, the level of special effects that Ye Zhiqiu thinks should be achieved - refer to the American TV series "Game of Thrones", the amount spent on special effects in each episode is about the same.
It's just that the unit is US dollars.
But domestic entertainment companies can't spend such a large amount of money to invest in a TV series. It's not about whether the cost can be recovered, but the overall industry environment.
It's not that it can't be done, but it's unnecessary.
Let me ask, everyone's work is 10 points, you only need to make something 30 points, it's enough to fool the audience and make money, who will rack their brains to make the work 90 points or even perfect?
Investors are not doing charity when making TV series, so of course they won't do such a thankless task.
In fact, the TV series "Qing Yun Zhi" in the previous life had a huge base of book fans, and in the end it not only did not lose money, but even made a small profit, but the reputation collapsed.
If Huahai Entertainment shoots according to this budget, it is estimated that the ending will not be much better, and it may be labeled as "shoddy".
But Ye Zhiqiu knew that if he said this, it would not only be unpopular, but the people in Huahai Entertainment might think he was crazy, so he just said that he would not sell the film and television adaptation rights.
For him, the film and television rights were sold, the money was in his pocket, and the book fans could not blame him if the film was bad.
But the main thing was that he didn't want to be disgusted again, so it didn't matter if he didn't make the money.
However, the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" that he was currently serializing was different.
This masterpiece was completely different from "Zhu Xian", but the TV series was a god-like existence.
These are all later stories.
After confirming that Ye Zhiqiu really had no intention of selling, the people in Huahai Entertainment were very disappointed.
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly said: "Mr. Li, Huahai Entertainment actually wants to make a TV series, and I have another script that is quite suitable."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and the head of the film and television department hurriedly said: "Is it a fairy tale drama?"
"No." Ye Zhiqiu glanced at Dong Peng who was sitting in the corner, grinned and said: "Urban drama."
Everyone blinked, looked at each other, and a hint of disappointment flashed in their eyes.
Urban dramas, family love stories, are indeed a timeless genre, but Huahai Entertainment has made many of them, and they all failed!
Li Wenrui was quite patient and said with interest: "Explain it."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "Strictly speaking, it is an urban situation comedy. I think it is quite suitable for the current trial stage of Huahai Entertainment. The investment is small, but the output is not necessarily small."
Ye Zhiqiu roughly talked about the model structure of the situation comedy, and there was silence in the conference room.
An executive wondered: "Is this... okay? There is no main plot throughout the whole play. Will it be too scattered and the audience will not haveInterested in watching it? "
"That's not a problem." At this time, the head of the film and television department showed his due professionalism and explained: "This model has been used before and has achieved good results. However, although the main plot is diluted, it still exists. Zhiqiu's model is more thorough."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded slightly and added: "My idea is that this kind of sitcom is mainly broadcast on online video media, and the main target group is young people who watch it in fragmented time."
"After a busy day at work, I don't have the time or the energy to follow the plot every day. I can watch it by turning on the computer, just to relax. "
As Ye Zhiqiu explained, everyone was also market-savvy and nodded repeatedly.
It seems... it's very feasible.
Everyone looked at each other, with a flash of surprise in their eyes.
I thought they just signed a talented singer, but this guy turned out to be a great talent!
Even if Ye Zhiqiu didn't sing, he definitely deserved a top salary to come to Huahai Entertainment Marketing Department.
"That's fine, but..." an executive hesitated, "This kind of sitcom is a modern scene, and the cost is indeed not very high, but the core problem is that you have to be funny."
"The audience just wants to have fun, and it has to be short-term and immediate, which is a great test for the script."
Everyone looked at Ye Zhiqiu again, and Li Wenrui asked with a hint of expectation in his tone: "Zhiqiu, do you have a script?"
Ye Zhiqiu said directly: "Let's do this, I'll come out with a few episodes of the script, you can take a look."
Everyone was overjoyed and looked forward to it. Li Wenrui made the decision on the spot: "Okay! That's it! "
That's right, the online sitcom that Ye Zhiqiu mentioned is "Diaosi Man"!
This famous sitcom is not difficult to shoot and suits the tastes of young people today. It is a classic of making a small profit with a big investment.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at his agent sitting in the corner with an inexplicable look, and Dong Peng was stunned by his look.
Boy, you are about to take off.
