Li Yi thought about it and knew that Mango Channel sincerely wanted to buy the copyright of this variety show. In addition to the previous copyright of "Sword and Fairy", he half-heartedly sold it.
In fact, there is a reason why Li Yi raised the copyright of "Sword of Immortal" so high.
The reason why he made the entire Internet aware of this copyright fee is because as a new company, Guoke Films has very low exposure and popularity.
Only through such copyright fees can Guoke Films enter everyone's attention.
And "The Birth of an Actor" was just a variety show. When he saw Director Jiang being so sincere, Li Yi thought of selling it at the normal price on the market.
Director Jiang asked Li Yi: "As for the copyright fee, I wonder how much Teacher Li Yi wants?"
Li Yi said: "This is also the first time I have sold the copyright fees for a variety show. Director Jiang made a price, and if I thought it was suitable, the deal was done."
Director Jiang thought for a while and then said: "Generally speaking, this kind of brand-new variety show has higher risks, and the copyright fee for the first season is generally not too high; but this show is yours, and the format of the show is
The creation is novel, so I can increase the copyright fee at my discretion, 15 million for the first season, how about this price?"
Fifteen million?
After Li Yi heard this, he didn't expect Director Jiang to be so sincere.
Although it was indeed his first time to sell the copyright of a variety show, Li Yi had learned before that the copyright fee for a variety show basically accounts for about 5% of the overall production cost of the program.
If calculated based on this ratio, the general copyright fee on the market is capped at about three to four million.
Unexpectedly, Director Jiang was willing to pay fifteen million!
But Li Yi didn't know that most of the top variety shows in China were imported from abroad.
In order to obtain huge profits from various variety shows, some companies collude with foreign copyright holders to deliberately drive up copyright fees, often raising the copyright fee for a variety show to a sky-high price.
The copyright that could have been purchased for only one or two million yuan originally cost the TV station several tens of millions of yuan in unjust money.
So the TV station even thinks it made a profit by buying the copyright of Li Yi's "The Birth of an Actor" for 15 million.
Li Yi smiled and said: "Then let's make the deal."
Director Jiang was very happy to see Li Yi agree to sell, but at the same time he was also a little worried.
He asked Li Yi: "If the media knew about these cruel elimination rules in your script copywriting, it would probably cause an uproar."
"Furthermore, I'm worried that no one will participate in this show. All the actors nowadays have a good reputation. Look at the current stars. Do they have the trouble to come to this show to compete with others? If they lose, they will lose their face."
Where to put it?”
After listening to Director Jiang's words, Li Yi nodded and smiled: "Indeed, what you said makes some sense."
"So I plan to buy the copyright of "The Birth of an Actor" and then invite some students from Nortel, Shanghai Film and Television, or young actors to participate in the show. What do you think?" Director Jiang told Li Yi this idea in his mind.
After hearing this, Li Yi shook his head: "I'm sorry, Director Jiang, if you want to buy the copyright of "The Birth of an Actor", then more than half of the show must have well-known actors, and the instructors must be teachers who are good at acting.
."
"ah?"
After hearing this, Director Jiang was a little surprised and confused, "Teacher Li Yi, do you think anyone will really come to participate in this show?"
"Yes." Li Yi asked Director Jiang: "If those famous actors are really invited to participate in the show, what do you think the effect of this variety show will be?"
Director Jiang thought for a while and couldn't help but feel excited.
He said excitedly: "If the lineup is really strong, coupled with the elimination rules competition system of "The Birth of an Actor", and the mentors who are veteran actors, then it will definitely be the leading variety show in China!"
The more Director Jiang thought about it, the more excited he became, and the smile on his lips could no longer be suppressed.
"With the celebrity stars, the cruel competition system, the audition of the mentors, and the thrilling process, "The Birth of an Actor" will definitely become a variety show that can be called the king of "Singer"!"
"Yes." Li Yi nodded, "In addition, we will invite some more famous actors to participate in the competition and find some teacher-level drama instructors."
Director Jiang is not stupid. He understands that these actors cannot be hired with money. He will definitely not be willing to participate in these famous actors!
For a moment, he hesitated: "But, will famous actors really participate?"
Li Yi smiled and said nothing. Instead, he directly dialed Li Lianjie's phone and turned on the speaker phone.
Director Jiang's eyes widened when he saw the name on the screen.
This is the Kung Fu Emperor!
If he can participate in the show as a mentor, then the show star position will be available in no time!
Director Jiang secretly thought: I must answer the phone, I must.
After a while, Li Lianjie answered the phone.
"Hey, Xiaoyi."
Li Lianjie hasn't contacted Li Yi for a long time. Seeing that this guy is getting more and more comfortable, he doesn't bother to disturb him.
I didn't expect that this guy would actually come looking for me today.
Li Yi said hello to Li Lianjie: "Hello, brother Jie, have you had dinner?"
"It's only eleven o'clock. How can I be so early? How are you doing lately?" Li Lianjie thought Li Yi just wanted to chat with him.
"Fortunately, by the way, Brother Jie, have you been free recently? Mango Channel and I have created a variety show about actors acting. I want you to be the mentor of the show." Li Yi asked tentatively.
Li Lianjie was a little curious: "You kid, why are you always doing this? What's the show like? Send a message and I'll take a look."
"good."
Li Yi immediately compiled a paragraph, mainly describing the competition format and significance of "The Birth of an Actor", and then sent it to Li Lianjie.
Less than ten minutes later, Li Lianjie sent an OK expression and replied: Then I will be a mentor for fun.
Li Yi moved the screen in front of Director Jiang.
When Director Jiang saw it, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He was so excited!
Even Li Lianjie can come! This is even more powerful!
He was very excited. This time he believed that a big movie star was coming to this variety show!
Li Yi acted very calmly because he knew that Li Lianjie would not refuse.
Then he dialed Zhang Tianai's phone number again.
"Hey, Tian Ai." Li Yi said.
Although Li Yi went to Xiangtan, Zhang Tianai and others were still filming on the crew.
When she received a call from Li Yi, she thought he was going to check the situation.
"Brother Yi, I'm filming!" Zhang Tianai affirmed.
Li Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then said: "Didn't I go to Xiangtan to prepare a variety show? It's called "The Birth of an Actor", and it's a program specially prepared for actors. Do you want to come and participate?"
"Variety show? Okay, okay!" Zhang Tianai said immediately.
"Okay, then after we finish filming "Train to Busan", we can come to Xiangtan to record the show." Li Yi answered.
Zhang Tianai responded: "You are the boss anyway, you have the final say. Brother, I am going to film. Come back quickly. How can we film the second half of the plot without you?"
"good."
Li Yi hung up the phone and looked at the stunned Director Jiang.
Director Jiang didn't know what to say.
As a mentor, no one else but Li Lianjie has his qualifications and status.
As a rising actress this year, Zhang Tianai is the goddess of many otakus!
Director Jiang gave a thumbs up, "You are really awesome."
In fact, Li Yi had some selfish motives in contacting these two people.
Jet Li has recently thought about quitting the film industry. If he can be a mentor in variety shows, he will not only maintain his popularity, but also gain the respect of many people.
As for Zhang Tianai, since "The Princess" became popular, many people have praised her for her beauty, but not many people have praised her acting skills.
Therefore, Li Yi plans to use this program to completely get rid of the title of otaku goddess and further become a powerful actor!
Director Jiang saw that Li Lianjie and Zhang Tianai agreed easily, so it must not be too difficult to find other actors.
Just when he was secretly happy, Li Yi revealed another explosive news.
"I was wondering, when will Director Jiang wait until he invites me to participate in the show?" Li Yi suddenly asked Director Jiang.
Director Jiang was stunned and said excitedly: "Teacher Li Yi, are you saying that you want to be a tutor on the show?"
Li Yi shook his head repeatedly: "My qualifications are not enough. I want to participate in program competitions and compete with everyone on the same stage. As for tutors, I can recommend one or two teachers to you. Teacher Zhang Guoli and Teacher Song Dandan are all very good.
Teacher Xigu."
Director Jiang heard that Li Yi was going to participate in the show, and his hands were trembling with excitement.
In today's entertainment industry, Li Yi is undoubtedly synonymous with traffic!
In terms of acting skills, the character he plays is very impressive.
In terms of box office, these hit movies of his have all achieved over 1 billion in box office!
In terms of image, his love songs and inspirational songs have spread all over the Internet.
If Li Yi can participate in "The Birth of an Actor", then this program will be enough to shake the entire circle before it is broadcast!
Director Jiang finally said in a deep voice: "Teacher Li Yi, don't worry, this time I will spend all my money on selling the pot, but I also want to form the most luxurious program lineup, so that "The Birth of an Actor" will become another ace variety show after "Singer"!"
Li Yi nodded, "As for which actors you want to find, I don't care. I still have a movie to shoot, so I won't stay any longer."
Director Jiang quickly sent Li Yi out.
When he returned to the TV station, a high-level meeting was immediately held.
This time, Director Jiang is going to do something big!
When Li Yi returned to Hangzhou to continue filming, a hot search on Weibo attracted his attention.
[#金英台recording "I am an actor"#]
"It's true that we are enemies on a narrow road!" Li Yi remembered that Golden Eagle Channel had collided with Mango Channel several times before, and was defeated miserably in the end.
Li Yi smiled and put the phone back into his pocket.
He knew that this time the Golden Eagle TV program would lose again!
Not for anything else, just because "The Birth of an Actor" is his Li Yi's show!
