  Chapter 988 The big directors all cooperate with the performance

Previously, the online dramas shot by their company were considered medium-to-medium-cost, so there was a situation where 300 million yuan was packaged into six TV dramas. Among them, the profit of Blue Whale was only about 100 million yuan, which is relatively small compared to the income from selling to TV stations. .

  As for costume dramas, just serving Taoism is a lot of money.

  But among all the large-scale TV dramas in ancient costumes that are on the stage, which one does not have an investment of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

   For one of the large-scale war scenes, you can’t use four or five extras as four or five thousand people. It’s not that the audience is fooled, and the ratings are not scolded.

  What's the matter, you have to get 1,000 extras, right? Not counting the cost of props, the daily expenses of these extras alone cost 200,000 yuan.

  Extras have to pay more if they have to wait for a long time. Zero zero is finally paid off, and tens of millions can't be paid at all.

  Of course, the so-called hundreds of millions of investment is a bit exaggerated, after all, the actor's salary has not yet been coaxed by the small fresh meat of traffic.

   But to be regarded as a well-produced costume TV series, the cost of 50 to 60 million is still required, not to mention that Blue Whale has always made high-quality goods as the bottom line, and the actual shooting investment will only be higher.

   "It's rich, Tomorrow Video has just passed a 500 million additional investment plan. Our Blue Whale invested 100 million, and the stake has dropped to 35%."

  Hearing the unnecessary worries of major shareholders, Feng Jiming replied quietly.

   There is only this major shareholder, who is busy lingering in the flowers all day long, patronizing the company to fill female artists, and doesn't even care about the company's affairs.

   ". Then this money can't be spent casually, right? It's rare that they want to spend 100 million to buy an exclusive online drama?"

  Can't help raising his eyebrows, Zhou An'an, who seems to have heard the report from the beautiful secretary before, made a speechless remark, and then his eyes fell on the new group of beauties in ancient costumes.

  Chen Ting's attire in this group really reminded him of the charming Empress Xiao in the Sui and Tang Dynasties that he had seen in his previous life.

  That is also his deepest impression on Chen Bing, far surpassing the pure and pleasant Princess Yushu in another drama.

   Well, it seems that the time-travel drama that the audience complained about its lack of IQ has only a movie version, and it has not been made into a TV series, but it can win the copyright and slightly change the flawed plot.

  As if feeling someone's gaze, Chen Bing, who was wearing a Tang Dynasty women's dress, glanced at the young boss with charming eyes, as if with lightning.

  She had been notified by the company a long time ago, but she just came to participate in this audition in accordance with the company's request.

  When chatting with other female artists in the company outside, Chen Ting didn't reveal anything. He only thought about when the young boss would be free and explained the script to her.

"How can I buy an exclusive costume drama? They are willing, but I am not willing. However, Tomorrow Video means that regardless of the copyright of the satellite TV, the exclusive online copyright is required. The price can be set by us, and we can pay 20 million in advance. Deposit."

   Without complaining about the big shareholder who didn't care about things, Feng Jiming talked about the purpose of tomorrow's video.

  Although their company owns more than 30% of the shares of Tomorrow Video, Feng Jiming's **** is very straight, and everything is based on the interests of Blue Whale Entertainment.

  After being stimulated by the 4 online dramas that they have played before, the number of paying members of Tomorrow Video has increased by nearly 10 million, and the revenue has exceeded 60 million, which has attracted the attention of the peers.

In addition to the 2 online dramas that have not yet been launched, one of which also has the joining of the pure goddess Liu Feifei, the management of Tomorrow Video has great expectations for this, and believes that it will increase at least 8 million paid members and 50 million revenue.

  Although these revenues are nothing compared to the 300 million expenditure, it is already a very good start for Tomorrow Video, the first trial membership system on a video website, and it can even be said to exceed expectations.

  Therefore, while Tomorrow Video started the second round of financing, it also extended invitations to Blue Whale Entertainment.

  This time, they hope to win the exclusive online copyright of Blue Whale Entertainment's costume drama, because the audience of costume drama is unmatched by other urban dramas.

  They are not short of money, but they are short of high-quality TV series.

   As for Tomorrow Video, which has had high-quality cooperation and Blue Whale holds equity, acquiring the TV series copyright of Blue Whale Entertainment is the safest and most cost-effective investment.

   "I have two plans, but you need to get some things done."

Through Chen Ping's charming look and Hong Kong female artist Yu Qiaoen's costume photos, Zhou An'an already had two plans in his mind, and also thought of another film with a good reputation, but it was cut due to some problems in the early stage of release. The court drama of the Tang Dynasty that became a photoshoot.

  In the previous life, Zhou Anan also spent a few dollars on a certain treasure to buy the original certain cloud link without photo stickers. The plot and service are not bad, and overall it is remarkable.

  If you want to make that "Wu Mei Niang", you must carry the big scissors at the door, otherwise everything will be in vain.

  According to the existing rules and the energy of the blue whale, if no one interferes, it might not be possible to do this.

  In addition, the female number one must be a female artist of her own company, and one of the female number two is the original female artist from Hong Kong Island who is very brilliant.

   "No problem, just say what you want, and I will do the rest."

  Hearing what the major shareholder said, Feng Jiming said in a big way.

   "Okay, I will send the outline of the script when the time comes, you can take a look at it when the time comes."

  It is not appropriate to talk about the topic too thoroughly on this occasion. Zhou Anan stopped short, focused on the rounds of female artists in ancient costumes, and was also looking for suitable heroines for two ancient costume dramas in his heart.

   There are three main female characters in "Mythology", and there are more female characters in "Wu Mei Niang", but only three or four of them stand out.

  Currently, there are more than 30 female artists under Blue Whale, which can completely fill in the gaps. Of course, some of these roles will also be given to other cooperative film and television companies in exchange for suitable resources.

  Eating alone has never been a good thing in the entertainment industry.

Although the company sent invitations to all its agents before, after reading the rough script, only fifteen or six people came to audition, plus the ten or so female artists who came from other companies after hearing the news, that is five Group audition.

   In less than an hour, the audition was over.

  The five interviewers all tacitly closed the so-called scoring book.

   "Mr. Feng, Mr. Zhou, I think Yu Qiaoen, Hu Ruoxuan, and Chen Bing are more suitable for the personality of the three Dugu sisters. Among them, Yu Qiaoen's temperament matches the third lady Dugu Jialuo very well."

   Coming to the lounge, He Shuwei, who was drinking coffee, took the lead in expressing his 'thoughts'.

  Since you want to do a play, then do a full set.

  The two bosses have set up the stage, and he always has to sing along, so as not to make things difficult for the two bosses after the news is spread.

  As a TV drama director who joined Blue Whale not long ago and has not had many works but is highly valued, He Shuwei urgently needs the approval of the boss to stabilize his position, and then convey this influence to the crew, and then he will be more comfortable in directing.

   "Director He's idea coincides with mine, and I also think the temperament of the three of them is very suitable for the three female characters in the play. Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"

  Glancing admiringly at the discerning director He, Feng Jiming felt that there was nothing wrong with handing over this costume drama with an investment of more than 50 million to the other party.

   It's a bit embarrassing for him, the general manager, to say this kind of thing first.

  However, this kind of thing, of course, cannot be carried out by myself, and the major shareholder who is the culprit must be dragged into the water.

   "I think it's very suitable. Director He is indeed a leader in the costume drama industry, and he is very accurate. Director Wang and Director Shen, what do you think?"

  Nodding affirmatively, Zhou Anan turned to ask the two great directors who participated in the interview.

   "I think so too."

   "I feel good."

  Everyone knew well that Wang Jing and Shen Yutian would naturally not dismantle the two bosses, and they nodded in agreement.

   "Since everyone's opinions are similar, it's settled. Mr. He, the preparations for the crew need you to catch up as soon as possible."

  Looking at each other tacitly with the major shareholder, Feng Jiming said to He Shuwei with a smile.

   "President Feng, don't worry, I will definitely complete the preparations for the crew as soon as possible."

  He Shuwei quickly promised after hearing General Manager Feng's order.

  At this time, General Manager Feng's secretary walked in quickly and whispered something in his ear, which made General Manager Feng's expression change uncontrollably.
