Hu Shuo and Chuangshi Entertainment are both new players in the entertainment industry and have not actively provoked any media or other entertainment companies.
However, even so, they were still targeted by a media and an entertainment company. The entertainment company naturally poached Xu Meng and Jin Xin's Tengfei Entertainment.
The media is Sioux City Satellite TV. They first poached Li Qiuzhu, and then they took a very problematic stance in reporting on Xu Meng, Jin Xin's escape and Zeng Xiaoxian's love triangle incident. They almost stood on the opposite side of Chuangshi Entertainment.
The incident was reported.
Under this general premise, it is certainly impossible for Hu Shuo to sell the second season of "Love Apartment" to Su City TV. Maybe the other party thinks that Chuangshi Entertainment will be "in business" and the one with the highest price will get it, not to mention Su City TV.
City TV is also a first-tier satellite TV in China, and the platform’s influence is large enough.
Moreover, once Chuangshi Entertainment and Sioux City TV reach a cooperation, the previous unpleasant things can be turned over directly. As the old saying goes, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only eternal interests.
Sioux City TV's idea must be correct. In the face of huge profits, poaching an artist or a few news reports seems to be insignificant. Unfortunately, they met Hu Shuo, a man with his own cheats!
He would not agree to a deal like giving a sweet date a slap in the face. Since the other party slapped him, his response could only be to slap him back!
Therefore, Hu Shuo's attitude is very clear, the second season of "Love Apartment" will never be sold to Sioux City TV.
"Mr. Hu, should we continue to cooperate with Aiyi Video on the website?"
Wang Muxuan asked again.
"It would be okay if the cooperation method is still the same as in the first season of "Love Apartment"."
When the first season of "iPartment" signed a gambling agreement with Aiyi Video, the on-demand rate exceeded 1 billion, and the two parties shared the revenue according to the ratio of 91. This should already be the biggest disparity between content providers and platforms.
The revenue sharing ratio has changed, so if Aiyi Video can still agree, of course it would be good.
"By the way, I'm actually not in a hurry to decide which platform the second season of "Love Apartment" will be broadcast on. You can focus on talking about sponsorship from manufacturers recently."
In the first season of "Love Apartment", it had no fame or any influence. Of course, no businessmen were willing to pay for sponsorship. But now the second season is different. "Love Apartment" has been changed to a popular one.
IP, I believe there will be many merchants willing to spend money to insert advertisements.
"Well, in the past two days, several companies have actually approached me, hoping to become a sponsor of the second season of "Love Apartment"." Wang Muxuan said.
"Okay, then you can talk about sponsorship first. As for the choice of broadcast platform, you can wait."
Hu Shuo ordered that sponsors must be negotiated before the filming of the second season of "Love Apartment" starts. This is an urgent matter. As for the choice of broadcast platform, it can be decided during the filming process or even in post-production.
It’s not too late to discuss it later. Of course, if a platform is willing to directly give Hu Shuo the price in his mind, he can also sign the contract directly.
In the following days, everything went according to plan.
The filming of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has come to an end, the core team of Flash Animation has basically been formed, and the production of the "Snow White" animated movie has begun.
The preparatory work for the second season of "Love Apartment" has also been completed.
November 3rd, Sunday.
The second season of "Love Apartment" held a grand opening ceremony.
There were nearly a hundred media outlets present.
At this time, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has not yet been completed. Since some actors overlapped with the second season of "Love Apartment", the crew of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" took a day off.
The opening ceremony.
As the boss of Chuangshi Entertainment, Hu Shuo first led the creative team of the second season of "Love Apartment" to worship heaven and earth and pray for smooth filming.
Normally when a large production crew starts filming, they will hold a simple worship ceremony as a good omen.
After the ceremony, it was the group interview session with reporters.
Hu Shuo did not appear on stage in this session, but director and starring Feng Haibo led the other leading actors to appear together. The three new members of the second season of "Love Apartment" also made their first appearance in front of the media.
However, except for Chu Yanran, who is well-known, the other two new members are almost transparent, which disappointed the long-awaited media. As a result, the media focused all their firepower on the first part.
Time fell into the turmoil of Feng Haibo and the newly joined Chu Yanran.
"Yanran, it seems that you have never acted in a comedy before this, so what made you participate in the second season of "Love Apartment"?"
A reporter asked Zhou Yanran a question.
"As you said, none of my previous works were comedies in the strict sense, so this time is a challenge for myself. In addition, the role of Tang Youyou is very interesting and I like it very much." Zhou Yanran said with a smile on her face.
Smile in response.
"The other two female characters in the first season of "Love Apartment", Meijia and Wanyu, are both very popular with the audience. Are you worried that this new character will be rejected and resisted by the audience?" Another reporter asked.
Zhou Yanran shook her head and said slowly: "I'm not worried at all. First of all, I have confidence in myself, and secondly, I have confidence in the character. I believe that when the second season of "Love Apartment" is launched, the audience will also like me."
The character Tang Youyou played!"
"So, are you worried that the audience will compare your character with the other two characters in the first season?" the reporter asked.
"This decision does not rest with me, because it is the subjective will of the audience. However, I think comparisons are inevitable, but the character I play is completely different from the other two female characters in the first season, so,
I don’t think this comparison is very meaningful.”
Facing reporters' questions, Zhou Yanran seemed to be at ease.
Behind the scenes of the stage, Qiu Xiaobai seemed to be very satisfied with Zhou Yanran's performance, and said to Hu Shuo with a smile: "Mr. Hu, the actor I recommended to you is right!"
Qiu Xiaobai came here to support him. After all, the three new members were all actors from their Chinese entertainment company.
"It's not bad."
Hu Shuo nodded slightly.
"By the way, Mr. Hu, the movie you are starring in will be finished soon, right?" Qiu Xiaobai asked again.
"It will be completed within this week."
Hu Shuo replied, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has begun to wrap up, and if everything goes well, it can be completed in four days.
"Has the issuer been found yet?"
A cunning smile appeared on Qiu Xiaobai's face. Obviously, she came here today not just to support him.
“I haven’t found this one yet!”
Hu Shuo shrugged. Chuangshi Entertainment currently does not have the ability to independently distribute films. For a theater movie, quality is naturally crucial, but the distributor is equally important, especially for "The Richest Man in Xihong City"
"For a movie like this, where both the director and the hero are relatively transparent, a strong distributor is the most important factor in boosting the movie's box office.
In fact, there are currently only seven or eight domestic entertainment companies with strong distribution capabilities, and Huawen Entertainment is one of them.
A company's distribution capability actually depends on two aspects: one is its relationship with several major domestic theater chains, and the other is its relationship with some mainstream media.
The process of releasing a movie is, to put it bluntly, the process of publicity and the process of negotiating with theaters to schedule films.
If there is no strong distributor and the movie lineup is relatively poor, then the film scheduling rate will be very low. Some theaters will not even schedule films for you. In this way, no matter how great your movie is, it will not be able to be released.
Can't raise any splash.
Therefore, in a situation like "The Richest Man in Xihong City", you still have to find a relatively powerful publisher.
"How about I send it for you?"
Qiu Xiaobai asked smoothly.
"Which mode?"
Hu Shuo asked, under normal circumstances, publishers have two distribution models, one is guaranteed distribution, and the other is agency distribution. Guaranteed distribution is generally for works with famous directors or strong starring lineups. The publisher offers a price, such as a guaranteed minimum of 5
100 million issuance, then once the movie is released, if the box office is less than 500 million, the distributor will also pay the producer a share of the box office based on 500 million.
If the box office exceeds 500 million, then the distributor will get a larger share of the excess box office. As for the proportion, it depends on how the two parties negotiate.
But this issuance method means that the risk is completely borne by the issuer, so it is also a gamble for the issuer. But when it comes to famous directors and masterpieces, even if the risk is very high, many companies are still willing to give it a try.
Well, if it succeeds, the income will still be very considerable. Of course, there are also many cases of failure.
Compared with the guaranteed distribution model, the second method is more common, which is ordinary agency distribution. The distributor only charges labor fees. This fee is usually 2% to 8% of the box office share. Some companies also charge a fixed amount.
, in short, the issuer basically does not bear any risk in this issuance method.
"Mr. Hu doesn't want me to guarantee my hair, right?"
Qiu Xiaobai frowned slightly. For a movie of this magnitude like "The Richest Man in Xihong City", it is estimated that no distribution company would be willing to release it with a guaranteed minimum. First, there is no famous director, and second, there is no big director. The whole movie can be famous.
The actors are just some of the people who became popular thanks to "Love Apartment".
However, the movie market and the TV drama market are completely different. Many actors who are very comfortable on the small screen are not successful on the big screen. Even many actors who are "viewers" and "viewers" have no box office appeal on the big screen.
power, not to mention the few newcomers who have just become famous through "Love Apartment".
Therefore, the issuance Qiu Xiaobai mentioned is of course not a guaranteed issuance, but another kind of agency issuance that does not bear any risks.
