Chapter 576 The Status Quo of TV Dramas
Chapter 576 The Current Situation of TV Series
Zhao Yongqi seemed very confused at this moment. He even wondered whether Master Li had said the wrong position if he had made the two better cooperation methods. However, when his eyes turned to Zi Ye beside him, he saw this shrewd female agent nodding slightly to him.
It seemed to understand Zhao Yongqi's doubts. At this moment, Master Li was like an elder in the family. He had no impatient expression at all. Instead, he smiled and gave Zhao Yongqi some time to think, and then he explained: "Actually, each of us believes that this will be a great TV series. We can even conclude that once it is broadcast, it will cause a sensation. If not, how could we propose such a large capital investment plan?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yongqi nodded in agreement. Master Li was right. Even if his father didn't watch this TV series well, he wouldn't be able to spend hundreds of millions to do a gambling game.
"However, it is not necessarily a good script. A good TV series will become a successful work!" Master Li looked at Zhao Yongqi meaningfully and said: "Do you know how many TV series are produced in China every year? Hundreds, or even thousands! The above of these TV series will accumulate dust in the warehouse, and even turn into scum in the end, and there is no chance of being actually brought to the small screen at all." Master Li's words seemed a little deeper.
"..." Zhao Yongqi looked at Master Li silently, and now he listened more carefully.
"Actually, you should also be very clear that in China, and even any country in the world, there is a very important thing that cannot be seen or touched, but when you really want something, it will be very important, that is, connections!" Master Li continued in a deep voice: "For various reasons, there are actually many fine products in many TV series that have not had the opportunity to be broadcast. And why they end up with this is because of connections! For example, when your TV series is filmed, we have the right to buy it, but we may also give up the purchase for some reason and use the same funds to buy a TV series that is far inferior to you. Maybe you will feel it is unfair, but this is the reality."
Zhao Yongqi gradually began to understand what Master Li wanted to say. However, because of this understanding, his sword brows frowned even tighter.
"If you can have 400 million funds yourself, then I won't stop you from trying. After all, even if you fail, with your talent and popularity, the money can still be made back. However, you don't have that much money yourself, and you need to raise this shooting fund. In other words, a large part of you may have to borrow and raise funds. Not to mention whether you can raise it, even if you really raise it, what if the money you throw out cannot be recovered? At that time, you need to bear huge debts, and the interest you want to repay will be like astronomical numbers." Master Li said seriously.
"Actually, I initially opposed your plan, which was similar to Director Li's opinion. However, you didn't want to start the action at that time, so I didn't say much." Zi Ye said in a deep voice: "If you really want to raise funds to shoot by yourself, I will still stop you. After all, even if you shoot it, it's still a big deal to sell it. TV is not a movie. As long as you contact the theater, you can wait for the playback week. Maybe you can sell a TV station, but they may not play it immediately, and it may not be played in prime time for other reasons. In this way, your secondary sales may not have a chance. Even recovering costs will be difficult."
"I understand." Zhao Yongqi pondered for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "It seems that I still think everything is too simple. However, I don't understand at all. If I have such a risk, then the investment of the TV station will not be like this?"
Hearing this question, Director Li chuckled: "We are a state TV station, and every capital flow is recorded. Do you think if we spend so much money to shoot a TV series but ultimately don't want to play it in the prime time of our TV station, can we explain the past in the scene?"
After hearing these words, Zhao Yongqi really understood. Not only did he understand the problems that would be encountered when the TV series was broadcast, but more importantly, he understood that the elder in front of him was sincerely helping him!!
Director Li’s suggestion not only solves the problem of funds, but also uses a means of forcing the broadcast of prime time immediately after shooting! Because no matter from which angle, the TV station will hope to recover the investment as quickly as possible! For Zhao Yongqi, this not only can quickly bring his beloved works to the real screen, but also will have a great popularity boost to the TV series he starred in for the first time. This has extremely unpredictable huge benefits for his future development.
Of course, Director Li is not a fool. He can do this, which means that the senior executives of the TV station are indeed optimistic about this TV series and are very confident that they can recover the cost and even make huge profits.
Some people may think that it would be too stupid to give up this huge profit to the TV station in just a few words. In fact, the TV station can promote this TV series, but what if it were Zhao Yongqi himself? Perhaps even the broadcast period is nowhere to be achieved.
This is the power gap between individuals and groups!
Zhao Yongqi is not stupid, but on the contrary, he is very smart! At this moment, after Master Li and Zi Ye's tips, he would never think of the key. Therefore, after a little thought, he immediately nodded to respond.
Seeing that Zhao Yongqi finally understood his painstaking efforts, Master Li seemed in a very high mood. He shook hands with the older boy who was about his grandchildren in front of him, and then smiled and said, "Actually, don't think I'm helping for nothing. From the public, we have judged that the second and third broadcast rights and advertising sponsorships of this TV series will never lose money. In private, both me and Lao Zhang are very optimistic about you and hope to maintain a good relationship with you. To be honest, ten years later, I really don't know if you make a profit or we make a profit in this cooperation now!"
"Master Li, you are so polite." Zhao Yongqi looked a little shy and his handsome face slightly red made the elderly in front of him laugh even more happily.
"Okay, this is just a preliminary plan. As for the real cooperation plan, we can talk about it after returning to China." Master Li stood up with a smile, "But I can guarantee you that the script is entirely up to you, and the main actors can also be assigned by you!"
