Chapter 276 Plan

"I understand this, and I will cooperate with you, but please be careful in publishing the love letter." Jing Yu added with a smile.

When Fang Xin heard this, her expression was awkward.

After all, Yuzhou did not think that the Rurouni Kenshin Memories would be a hit at first, and the publicity and distribution were just routine operations.

However, regular publicity and distribution resulted in a movie with a total box office of more than 1 billion, and Yuzhou will definitely make a lot of money.

But in front of Jing Yu, a real film investor, I felt guilty that I had taken advantage...

However, Jing Yu is not a stingy person. Whichever distributor is responsible for the memorial chapter, it will probably not be better than Yuzhou. He is a newcomer in the film industry and is still shooting martial arts movies in the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as the other party is a qualified businessman, it will definitely not be better.

It would be too risky to gamble...

"Teacher Jing Yu, don't worry about this...we are a community of interests."

Yuzhou's income is also calculated based on the movie share. After seeing the potential of Love Letter and Jingyu, he will naturally not neglect it.

No one can have trouble with money.

"On the other hand, Teacher Jing Yu... Although it's a bit early to say this, but..." Fang Xin's eyes narrowed.

I started to ask Jing Yu from the side if he was interested in making other chapters of Rurouni Kenshin.

Fang Xin came in person today to discuss the love letter and follow-up publicity work. The main purpose was to express goodwill to Jingyu and to strive for future cooperation if Jingyu's Rurouni Kenshin is going to be made into a series of movies.

But for these...

Jing Yu pondered for a moment, but did not give an accurate answer. After all, Jing Yu's purpose in making movies and TV series, in addition to making money and earning fans, is to promote his favorite works in this world.

The movie "The Remembrance Chapter" of "Rurouni Kenshin" is indeed a masterpiece in Jing Yu's heart, but if other chapters are made into movies, there will definitely be a gap compared to the "Reminiscence Chapter".

"We'll think about it when the time comes. We don't have that kind of plan right now." Jing Yu casually treated Fang Xin.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Fang Xin's eyes, but she quickly adjusted her mood.

We have already talked about this, so there is no need to disturb Jing Yu any more.

Fang Xin stood up and left.

Jing Yu returned to his seat and took a long breath.

The week since Rurouni Kenshin: Memories was released, he was quite exhausted.

He had to go to all kinds of events, performances, and promotions in person, and he held four fan meetings in three cities.

It took a lot of time to wait until it has calmed down a bit, and now it’s time to promote the love letter again.

"How was it? How was the conversation?"

Cheng Lie walked in.

After Jing Yu roughly recounted the conversation to Cheng Lie, he nodded.

"That's right! The Memories of Rurouni Kenshin. I feel that so many viewers came to the theater mostly because of our own efforts. Over in Yuzhou, hehe... But they woke up to the movie Love Letter."

good."

"But..." Cheng Lie looked at Jing Yu.

"I have something to tell you, Jing Yu. Just when you were talking to Fang Xin from Yuzhou, Minister Meng called."

"Minister Meng?" Jing Yu raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"What did he say?"

"He has something to discuss with you... I asked a few questions casually about the specific content, but he didn't hide it from me. He probably wanted to buy another script from you...

..For example, a script like Long Ying." Cheng Lie said.

"Then I definitely won't sell it!" Jing Yu refused without even thinking.

There is no need for Jingyu to show some things to these TV stations for digestion.

After all, even if he doesn't cooperate with these TV stations, Jing Yu feels good about making movies and can survive. Wouldn't it make more sense to use those movie and TV drama scripts to shoot online dramas after the rise of Internet video websites like Dazhou?

Selling scripts will definitely be a loss for Jing Yu now.

Jing Yu was not crazy if he casually sold those high-quality scripts that had been tested by the market in his previous life without any other conditions in exchange.

"Well... based on Minister Meng's experience with this kind of thing, he probably won't ask. He should know very well that I will most likely not sell scripts to Yunteng again." Jing Yu looked towards

Cheng Lie.

"Does he have any other questions?"

"So he told me...if you firmly reject his proposal to buy the script...he wants to make an appointment with you to meet at the Dijing Restaurant near Yunteng tomorrow morning...

"Cheng Lie said immediately.

Having said that... Jing Yu also roughly understood something...

"He...Yunteng agreed...to my previous proposal?"

Jing Yu mentioned to Meng Yu before that although he left Yunteng, he could continue to cooperate with Yunteng...

However, the cooperation model changed to Jing Yu filming the drama himself and then broadcasting it on Yunteng. Yunteng only enjoys the broadcast rights for a certain number of times and within the contract period, and has no other copyrights at all.

Basically, it follows the practice of Jing Yu’s previous life where film and television companies sold TV series to TV stations.

This is not to say that this practice does not exist in today's big cities, but it is only popular among small TV stations with average strength. Although those TV stations do not have the copyright of the drama, the cost of buying the right to broadcast a drama will definitely be much lower, and the risks will undoubtedly be eliminated.

Each one has its own merits. But the big TV stations basically don’t recognize it. They have money, talent, and the ability to withstand risks after the drama hits the market. Why do they do this?

"Most likely..." Cheng Lie hesitated.

"It's just that, Jingyu, are you... still interested in filming a TV series?"

It is normal for Cheng Lie to have such doubts.

Many stars became famous as TV drama actors, screenwriters, and directors, but most of them want to develop into movies when they reach a certain stage of development.

And once they become famous in the film industry, few people will continue to return to the TV drama industry.

Liu Yifei in Jing Yu's previous life, even if she didn't make any achievements in the film industry, she didn't even bother to make TV series anymore. Although a certain tax evader was called a box office poison, she still got popular by making TV series... Gu Tianle even made a movie

After watching the movie, I immediately gave up the TV series.

If Jingyu's Rurouni Kenshin Memories movie fails to be released, then going back to filming a TV series would be a way out.

But the movie has been so successful, is Jing Yu still willing to make a TV series?

"Why not take pictures?" Jing Yu looked at Cheng Lie with a smile.

In Da Zhou's words, the film and TV drama circles are not as clearly separated as in the previous life of China. Although the status of people in the film industry is still a little higher than that of the TV drama industry, it is only half a level...

"The money made from movies is money, but the money made from TV series is not, right?"

Many of the works that Jing Yu can redeem are actually not suitable for adaptation into movies.

For example, Slam Dunk, AD, etc., if given the chance, Jing Yu would also have the idea to make them... But these works are too long, and the movie cannot tell the complete story at all.

Even if it is made into a TV series, it is estimated that it will be a long-form work that lasts two seasons, or even three or four seasons.

Although Jing Yu became independent from Yunteng, he never wanted to leave the TV drama industry. He just didn't want to continue working in the TV station.

"Is that so?" Cheng Lie's eyes lit up.

Although he left Yunteng to start a business with Jingyu for his own sake, he still had deep feelings for his former employer Yunteng. He outsourced some of the post-production work for Rurouni Kenshin's Memories and Love Letter at market prices.

Give Yunteng some old friends who have extra time to make extra money for them.

Moreover, I felt a little unhappy about Yunteng being suppressed by the Six Majors again.

"As for Minister Meng's request for a meeting..." Cheng Lie paused.

"I will call him personally later... I will reply to him and I will go to the appointment on time tomorrow." Jing Yu said.
