The Director of Music Department

In fact, the audience of crime dramas is definitely not comparable to that of romance dramas.

But crime dramas have an advantage that other types of dramas cannot match, that is, the audience stickiness of this type of crime drama is higher, and the payment ratio is also higher. In this way, after a week, the audience feels that the plot is exciting, and they are naturally motivated to follow it.

Compared with the one-episode-per-week viewing habits in Europe and the United States, domestic audiences are used to hoping to watch several episodes a day. If there are enough episodes, it will be easier to support commercial value such as audience stickiness, conversion rate, and advertising revenue.

With the acceleration of the pace of life, users will only devote limited energy to preferred content, and the industry will also follow the law of "resource concentration". "Pay to watch preferred content" has become a trend. In the long run, platforms need to rely on high-quality heads Content cultivates a "loyal" user group. Otherwise, it is difficult to retain users for a long time simply by relying on a popular drama.

Of course, here is just an intention, and it is definitely impossible to discuss the specific details at the celebration banquet, and it is also impossible for Wang Yifan to discuss it in person. Naturally, there will be professional contacts in this regard.

Although Zhang Li's Pearl Huaxia Film and Television Company is not a giant in China, its strength should not be underestimated, especially in terms of historical costume dramas, Pearl Huaxia is definitely a gold-lettered signboard.

The key point is that Zhang Li's network, this kind of drama is actually not so easy to make, unless the relationship with the official media group is very good, otherwise, even if it is produced, it will be difficult to sell at a high price.

Of course, if it wasn't for this, Wang Yifan wouldn't have thought of pulling Zhang Li into the group.

After all, he is more confident that his first high-quality online drama can basically make a profit without losing money.

Because, although Wang Yifan said that it is a big production of 200 million yuan, in fact, this kind of figure is just for publicity. The project he wants to engage in is a crime drama, and it is a modern crime drama. To act with fresh meat, what is needed is that kind of acting niche.

And this can save a lot of costs. In fact, the main reason why the current cost of domestic TV series is relatively high is that the ratio of remuneration to production investment is very different. In many romantic dramas, those traffic stars are invited to act, and the remuneration is very high. If this kind of star invites an acting star to perform, the investors will not buy it.

In current TV dramas, many times, if you don’t invite traffic stars and idol stars to act, there are not many people willing to invest in it. Without him, because this kind of drama, the plot is just as it is, and idol stars and traffic stars are invited to act. If it is, the popularity will go up, and their fans will naturally pay for it.

Although in terms of movies, the days when traffic stars dominate the world are gone forever, but for TV dramas, currently, traffic is really in charge.

This problem, in the previous life, even if there was a salary limit order, it was still difficult to really limit it.

This is a matter of supply and demand in the market, and it is difficult to be transferred by human will.

Moreover, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. If you don’t get a high salary, you can get a share, which is actually the same.

Or make up for the remuneration from other aspects. For such things, as long as one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, no policy will work.

For example, there are past life restrictions on stars whose remuneration cannot exceed 50% of the total cost of a show.

A certain traffic niche offered 80 million package remuneration, but the investment of the whole drama was only 120 million, so what should I do?

According to the news released to the public, the film salary is indeed not higher than 60 million, the protagonist of the traffic niche gets 40 million, and the remaining 40 million can be settled through other channels.

For example, commercials, originally the advertising revenue belonged to the entire crew, but after some manipulation, the actor was asked to be responsible for the shooting of this commercial, and then the money went directly into his pocket.

Doesn't seem to be a problem? But actually?

Invisibly, the cost of the series has actually been raised a lot, because the advertising revenue is part of the follow-up income of the series.

Without this part of advertising revenue, more than half of the revenue of the series will be directly cut off, which will naturally increase the price of the series.

The celebration banquet also gradually came to an end with the passage of time, after sending off all the guests.

Chen Hanming, Wang Yifan, tonight's protagonist Li Mingjuan, Xingmeng's contracted directors Xu Cang, Chen Shaojun, actor Chen Xuebing and others, as well as the contracted new directors of Xinxing, all stayed.

"Director Li, do you know what it is?" Xu Cang asked Li Mingjuan in a daze.

"I don't know, but it should be a good thing." Li Mingjuan was very calm, because she was revealed some news before, saying that some surprises were prepared for her.

Compared to Li Mingjuan and Xu Cang, Su Zhen and others felt a little uneasy.

Although new directors like Su Zhen and Dou Qingle have already made a famous film, they clearly know that this is really not a manifestation of their true strength.

"I said, Yifan, what do you mean? What kind of lawsuit are you selling?" Chen Shaojun asked curiously, a little impatiently.

"Haha, don't worry, it's a good thing." Wang Yifan patted his best friend on the shoulder and said.

Chen Shaojun rolled his eyes and said, "Yifan, you have changed, you were not like this before."

The black line on Wang Yifan's forehead ignored this guy's trickery, but Zhang Zirong and Chen Xuebing both smiled.

Zhang Zirong was simply following Wang Yifan to join in the fun, and she was not from Huaxin.

"I see!" Chen Shaojun suddenly looked like he had discovered the new continent, and then his eyes swept back and forth between Wang Yifan and Zhang Zirong.

"You know what a thread, we really want to invite you to a wedding, why is it so troublesome?" Wang Yifan directly blocked what Chen Shaojun wanted to say.

"You really changed. I said you would die if you told me to say it? You interrupted me before I said it." Chen Shaojun looked depressed, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

They can understand Chen Shaojun's feelings, why? Even if it was wrong, he still didn't complain, but in the end Wang Yifan stated his conjecture abruptly, and even crossed him directly!

At this time, Lin Husheng and Yang Long walked over together.

"Is it all here?" Lin Husheng looked at Wang Yifan and asked with a smile.

Wang Yifan nodded and said: "It's almost there, Mr. Lin, tell me, they probably can't wait."

Of course Wang Yifan knew what was going on, it was really a good thing tonight, and there was more than one good thing.

"Let's sit down first, everyone is staying tonight. There are two main things to announce. Director Wang, let's talk about the first thing." Lin Husheng said with a smile.

After everyone sat down, they all turned their attention to Wang Yifan.

Wang Yifan smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll come here to start a conversation. In fact, I discussed with Mr. Lin and felt that there are some problems with our current contract. So, next, we will change the contract for everyone."
