Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

For the film and television industry in Lan Province, they never imagined that Jinhui TV would explode like this this spring.

In fact, the four major TV stations in Lanzhou Province will basically produce a so-called big production every once in a while, spend a little money, and produce a drama with obviously high quality and ratings, so that you will have the ability to bargain with advertisers. The right to speak, the ratings of the TV station are always very average, so the advertising fee will naturally not fluctuate too much.

Jiang Shiqing's dangerous girlfriend also came out of this situation, but what happened to April is your lie?

The total investment is just over 10 million. From the director, to the screenwriter, to the producer, it can be said that all of them are people who have never heard of it, and then it will be broadcast for three weeks.

The average ratings have broken 1.5%.

Of course, it can't be said that it is a completely unknown crew, at least Jing Yu's Tomorrow has caused a lot of heated discussions in Lan Province's film and television industry.

However, even if the ratings of the two-episode short drama are high, people in the industry still don't pay much attention to it.

But now look at the ratings in April.

"Who is that Jing Yu?"

"I heard that he is Jing Liang's son."

"The veteran screenwriter of Jinhui who died a while ago? Is his son so outrageous?"

"Jiang Shiqing's dangerous girlfriend has met her opponent in this way."

"Meeting an opponent? If the ratings in April continue to rise like this, I estimate that Dangerous Girlfriend will become the second child of Lanzhou's spring film and television drama within two weeks."

"If this is the case, it must be a huge blow to Jiang Shiqing's career."

"Who can have smooth sailing? Jiang Shiqing started to independently create film and television dramas last year. The average ratings of the first drama were 1.1, and the second drama was 0.89. The later period of White Lover was affected by Tomorrow. The ratings of the last two episodes were not well received, but the overall The average audience rating of this drama is also 1.34%. If he hadn't been performing so well all the time, it is estimated that Jin Hui would not have spent this kind of capital to invest in his new drama. In the province's film and TV drama industry, I met my opponent. I didn't expect that Jinhui TV would have another even more outrageous screenwriting genius."

"Jingliang and I have had drinks and gambled together. He has always been worried that his son is too naive and has nothing but good looks. Now, looking at it now, his son is not like that at all."

"Maybe it's because the blow was too big, and you're awakened? If you're not from Jinhui TV, maybe you don't know. After the father of April's screenwriter, Jing Yu, died, Jiang Shiqing tried to kick him out of Jinhui TV, although he didn't succeed." , but Jing Yu also downgraded the long-term contract signed with Jinhui to a short-term contract signed once a year. You know that kind of thing. Work. The treatment, opportunity, and importance of the two are very different. Then his girlfriend Song Xin left him and went to be with Jiang Shiqing. In the case of family, love, and career, there is no Some people fall, and some people rise."

"Wait. What are you talking about? Is this Jing Yu's screenwriting contract or Jin Hui's temporary worker contract?"

The day after the third episode aired in April, Jing Yu's mobile phone on the set received several poaching calls.

There are four major TV stations in Lanzhou Province. Although the TV stations are out of competition with each other, the internal employees have a complicated relationship. They may be good buddies drinking and singing with each other. After knowing about Jing Yu's situation, the other three TV stations called one after another Came here to poach Jing Yu.

But is it necessary?

Jing Yu was so annoyed that he immediately turned off his phone.

The four major TV stations in Lanzhou Province are all of the same strength, at least in Jinhui, Jingyu at least the people in the station are familiar with it.

But early in the morning, Chu You came again.

The face is smiling like a chrysanthemum.

"Nephew Jing Yu, you are really better than blue, and Uncle Chu is right about you. I knew your talent early on, so I recommended you to be one of the productions of Taili's spring drama series against all odds." screenwriter." Chu You said with a smile.

"yes"

"Ah, that's right!"

"I totally understand."

"Uncle Chu, you are absolutely right." Jing Yu also turned on the perfunctory mode for Uncle Chu who was an afterthought.

"Sure enough, men just want to do it. It doesn't matter what big star you invite for a big drama on TV, even if the investment amount is four times different, I will never lose to you in terms of ratings." Chu You said while talking. Get excited.

Jing Yu watched him bragging with a calm expression, waiting for his next words.

"That's why nephew Jingyu. This time Uncle Chu is here for something."

Chu You himself felt that he was blowing it up, and quickly took out a stack of documents from his briefcase.

"New contract?" Jing Yu picked it up and looked at it, and said with a solemn expression.

Now the economic situation is sluggish, and unemployment is everywhere. For example, the number of long-term screenwriter contracts for TV stations is very tight. After all, as long as they are signed, they will be guaranteed income. Unlike other wild screenwriters, if the script is accepted, they will make money, and if they are not accepted, they will sit back and eat.

As long as you sign the contract, even if the TV station does not ask you to be the screenwriter, they will take a sum of money to support you every year. It can be used by Taili. If you want to sell it, you must agree with Taili.

The top film and television screenwriters in Dazhou usually don't sign this kind of contract specifically with a certain station. Some of their scripts are requested by the TV station. After signing this kind of contract, they lose the qualification to be sold for a price.

But those non-top screenwriters do not have this kind of treatment. To put it bluntly, two scripts of the same quality, one is a long-term screenwriter in the station, and the other is a temporary screenwriter in the station or a purely wild screenwriter outside the stage. The TV station will adopt it. who? Whose script do you invest in?

A script that cannot get investment, no matter how well written it is, is just a pile of paper, and no matter how talented a screenwriter is, it is nothing without the financial support of a platform such as a TV station or a film and television company.

Of course, if a certain screenwriter has the money to set up his own crew and solve the problem of broadcasting film and television dramas, he can say that he is a master wherever he is rich.

But in general, only the top screenwriters in the screenwriting industry have the qualifications for sale, and most of the screenwriters who have not reached that standard. If you want your own script to become a real film and television drama, you must reach a long-term agreement with a certain TV station. Cooperation will do.

"My contract expires in more than half a year, don't worry about changing it." Jing Yu looked at Chu You and said in a harmonious voice.

When Chu You heard this, his expression was stunned. Is this politely rejecting me?

The long-term contract treatment he brought is much better than Jing Yu’s contract treatment that was hacked by Jiang Shiqing before. There are no traps in the contract.

"Why. You." Chu You frowned, and some words were difficult to say.

Are you thinking of quitting? That's why you are indifferent to this contract?

"I think at least until the short-term contract I signed last year is over, Taili and I are slowly discussing the follow-up cooperation." Jing Yu looked at Chuyou calmly.

"I believe that I will be able to get better conditions then."

Hearing this, Chu You felt relieved. It turned out that he was thinking about this aspect.

"Nephew, do you mean that you think the stage underestimated your potential?" Chu You said.

As long as Jing Yu doesn't have the idea of ​​going to the other three TV stations, it's fine.

In today's meeting, Minister Shi Teng directly asked him to resolve Jing Yu's contract issue as soon as possible.

The screenwriter of a film and television drama whose ratings broke 1.5% after three episodes aired, actually signed a short-term contract with Jin Hui? That's why he hurried over.

The main reason is that they are afraid that other TV stations in Lan Province will come first to poach Jing Yu away. But Chu You is confident that even if other TV stations come to poach Jing Yu, the terms they offer will not be better than the contract in front of him.

"Nephew Jingyu, you have to know that film and television dramas are risky. The ratings in April are high now, maybe it's just because the viewers are getting more novelty. If this is the case, the ratings in April's follow-up may not always be maintained at the same level. 1.5%, maybe in a few weeks, it will fall back to below 1%. The contract that Taiwan is giving you now is evaluated based on the current results in April. If Taili signs this contract, it may not be satisfactory." Chu You still persuaded Jing Yu.

He is also telling the truth. How many screenwriters are there who can cooperate with major TV stations as freelancers throughout Dazhou?

Most film and television screenwriters hope that after their drama becomes popular, they will establish a long-term cooperative relationship with a certain TV station. Only in this way can they ensure that their scripts can always be filmed as film and television dramas and appear in front of the audience.

Jing Yu missed this opportunity, if the follow-up ratings in April are not good, he will regret it.

But how could Chu You know what Jing Yu was thinking now?
