Although the first season of "Chess Soul" has been temporarily completed, the influence of this work is also continuing to ferment.

First of all, Jing Yu's screenwriting fee is calculated based on his performance. Jing Yu received 9% of the screenwriting fee, 4% of the actor's participation fee, and about hundreds of thousands of music copyright royalties.

This part of the tangible income is calculated based on the two additional investments in the later period. After tax, the amount that goes into Jing Yu's pocket is about 6 million Zhou coins.

But on the other hand, the copyright income from the work "Chess Soul" is also very objective.

Less than a day after the completion of Soul of Chess, the number of pre-orders for the Collector's Edition of Soul of Chess Season 1 on Yunteng TV's official website exceeded 2.5 million, and orders for various peripherals ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions...

...

Of course, based on the results of the first season of Soul of Chess, Jing Yu will get a very high percentage of the profits from this... And if the results of Season 2 of Soul of Chess are better, Jing Yu will get a dividend from these copyrights

The proportion will also increase accordingly.

These incomes are far greater than Jing Yu's so-called screenwriting fees and participation fees... Calculated only by the current order volume, it is at least more than 20 to 30 million.

After Jing Yu made some calculations, he was silent for a while.

Although he does not have high requirements for material life, it is still difficult for him to calm down after earning tens of millions of wealth in a few months.

Of course, Yunteng TV Station is the one making huge profits. Judging from the current popularity of the show "Chess Soul", the expected revenue for the TV station exceeds everyone's expectations.

However, the excitement was limited to the first few days. After mid-March, Jing Yu was very busy with various tasks.

The second season of Soul of Chess, the script creation of the three dramas of Stand-in and Steins;Gate, as well as the filming schedule and quality control, the personal shooting of the two dramas, the shooting of various promotional videos and trailers...

.

On the set of Soul of Chess, I had to play Zuo Wei, a cool and cute handsome man, but on the set of Steins;Gate, I had to play Zhou Gang, a second-year high school student...

Of course, although Rintaro Okabe's name in the original work was changed by Keiyu to Zhou Gang, who is closer to the style of Da Zhou, his junior high school nickname "Phoenixin Fierce" Keiyu he gave himself was still retained.

All in all, it was very good. During the filming process, both Yu Youqing and Xia Yining laughed out loud.

Yu Youqing and Xia Yining have excellent acting skills, and the roles of Makise and Li Shiina are actually not difficult to play...

A rational and calm beautiful girl scientist, a naturally cute and silly girl... As long as such characters are good-looking enough, the audience generally won't have too many other requirements for them.

But the only thing that gave the crew members something to say was...

It's been almost a week since we filmed, and no one knows what we filmed this week.

The script distributed to the actors was loose and illogical...

Compared with Chess Soul, you can feel the boredom of this drama during the filming process.

It's said to be a suspenseful drama, but I didn't see any suspense at all. The protagonist spends all day tinkering with the microwave, sending emails, and then interacting with the characters in the drama on a daily basis...

Although everyone temporarily believes that with Jing Yu's strength and level, the drama created by him will not be so boring forever, but generally speaking, everyone is a little worried about the rhythm of the early stage of the drama.

Drive the audience away.

No wonder I need to explain in advance in TV interviews that this drama is very slow...

This does not mean that the audience's patience is expected to wear out soon.

Then the crew of another filmed...

Jing Yu plays a secondary schoolmate in it, which is a small bonus. He will receive lunch in the first few episodes, so it will not affect the filming of the other two dramas too much...

Of course, Xia Yining and Yu Youqing also played two supporting roles in this drama.

For example, in the original work, the girl who slipped and fell down the stairs and was shot through the throat by the tip of her umbrella... was played by Yu Youqing.

The death of this girl is an important plot point that tears apart the original character of the work "Stand-in".

And Xia Yining played the role of the nurse in the hospital who was involved in the curse of the protagonists... An elevator accident happened while she was on the phone with the protagonists, and she died tragically!

In comparison, everyone in the stand-in crew was very excited when they took the scripts of the first two episodes given by Jing Yu. The show has not been filmed yet, but they are all eager to know what the plot of the third episode will be like.

.

The ratings of this drama will definitely not be low...

Teacher Jing Yu understands Dazhou’s audience very well and knows what kind of works they want to see, which is this kind of bloody, violent, and inexplicable death...

As for the Soul of Chess crew, it's the same as before. The crew invested a lot of money in the second season, so the scenes of professional competitions in the play can be shot more delicately. Even because they are curious about Jing Yu and the crew is really willing to spend money, the second season

It also invited many real professional chess players to make guest appearances...

After all, these professional chess players actually have a lot of traffic.

Needless to say, Li Le has made several guest appearances in the series.

Li Le's master Zhou Zhengguang was also invited by Jing Yu to play the role of a double chess player.

Of course, his purpose in this process was to come to Jing Yu to play chess and improve his chess skills...

........

Late March.......

There's only one week left in April.

Major TV stations have also begun to promote their summer dramas...

This quarter, Xingtong invested hundreds of millions in the large-scale fantasy supernatural drama "Black Cat", Didu TV invested 90 million in the suspense drama "Manual", and Vision TV invested 116 million in the suspense drama "Under the Cliff".

Of you!".

Having absorbed the shame of being surpassed by Chess Soul last quarter in terms of ratings, Vision TV spent a lot of money this quarter.

Among the top ten popular film and television drama stars in Dazhou, three of them were directly hired for "You Under the Cliff". The salaries of these three people accounted for nearly the investment in the entire film. This is because they were praised by Vision in the past.

It’s red, so it’s a friendly price.

Moreover, the three of them have been working in the film industry for the past few years and have stopped making TV dramas. After all, Da Zhou and Jing Yu were still the same in their previous lives. TV drama stars from small TV stations went to big TV stations, while TV drama stars who became famous wanted to make movies.

But even so, these three people were still invited by Vision to film the TV series.

Although the rule of the Da Zhou film and television drama industry is that the actor's investment should not account for less than one-third of the total investment of the entire drama, but when inviting stars of this scale to participate in TV dramas, some exceptions must be made...

Compared with the spring season, the investment of the top three major TV stations in their flagship dramas in the summer season is undoubtedly a level higher than that in the spring season.

The threat posed by the first season of Soul of Chess to the three companies is too great, and no one wants to be surpassed by the second season of Soul of Chess in summer ratings.

This is not only related to face, but also related to interests. If your ratings are low, it will be difficult to negotiate with manufacturers for advertising fees, and the stock price will fluctuate, which will weaken investor confidence...

In comparison, the investment level of more than 50 million for Chess Soul is much lower. However, many film critics still believe that Chess Souls will be at least in the top two in the summer ratings. Some even more radical people believe that Chess Souls may be released in the summer.

The ratings reached the top.

By the end of March, major TV stations were rolling out promotional pages for new summer dramas.

Since there are two of the six major TV stations in the Magic City area, coupled with the disruption caused by Yunteng, competition is particularly fierce.

Walking to the street, there are posters for the second season of Chess Soul and leaflets for Xingtong's summer drama Black Cat everywhere, at subway entrances, bus bodies, business districts, and even movie theaters...

Advertising competition is everywhere.

And as Cheng Lie said, the Taiwanese support for the two dramas The Substitute and Steins;Gate is indeed a bit low. Now all the resources in Taiwan are basically given to Chess Soul. Compared to Chess Soul, the two dramas are indeed underrated.

It was ignored a lot, and only a preview was shown during the commercial time of Yunteng TV.

There is almost no publicity outside Taiwan...

But Jing Yu didn't care either.

Anyway, for the drama Steins;Gate, it is useless to promote it in the early stage. This work has to slowly ferment through the quality of the work in the middle and later stages.

As for the drama "Stand-In"...it's a pity that it doesn't have good publicity resources. If a certain amount of funds can be given to it for publicity, Jing Yu feels that it will definitely be worth the money, but Taiwan must allocate all resources to

Regarding the promotion of Chess Soul, what can Jing Yu say? Anyway, the fertilizer and water are all left in his own fields, so let’s just follow Taili...

March... ended quietly, and April came quietly.

And it just so happens that at 8pm on April 1st, it happens to be the time when the first episode of the drama "Substitute" and the first episode of Didu TV's summer suspense drama "Manual" are broadcast...

However, the focus of everyone's attention is only on whether the premiere ratings of "Manual" can exceed 6. There are very few media reports on "The Stand".

Basically, no one in the film and television industry feels that the work "Stand-in" will pose a threat to "Manual"...

Small budget, no publicity, no big-name movie stars, even Jing Yu, a screenwriter with his own traffic, did not play a major role...

Although it is also a suspense drama like "Manual", "The Stand" seems to be written with the word "fuck" in the eyes of many people...

Except for fans of Chess Soul...

Although Jing Yu did not play the leading role in this drama, the supporting role was still cast!

After three weeks of separation, who can understand how much they, Zuowei's true fans, miss Jing Yu?

During the day, fans of Qihun have been rushing to inform the group...

No matter what, if you can support Teacher Jing Yu’s new drama in the first episode, please support it, and you must give it some face.

As for whether to pursue it or not, let’s decide on the quality of the first episode...
Chapter completed!
