Entertainment: The 400-pound fat man supports Zhang Tianai Chapter 009

009 The unsuccessful sale of copyright

After more than ten days, Shen Fei finally finished the final film.

At the same time, “Go Princess Go” was successfully approved.

He immediately embarked on a journey to sell the sample film.

He originally expected that this would be a smooth “film selling journey”.

However, reality gave him a heavy blow and he ran into obstacles everywhere.

A small web drama director like Shen Fei who is unknown and has low investment costs is not taken seriously by video platforms.

If Shen Fei is a famous director in the entertainment industry, the copyright of his drama may have been snapped up before it was filmed.

Take Penguin for example, it only sent a manager to receive Shen Fei.

After watching the film, the manager mercilessly issued an order to expel him.

It is obvious that he looked down on Shen Fei’s slightly rough web drama.

Then, Shen Fei went to Youku to try his luck.

This time, the reception was a little higher, and a deputy director came.

Although the deputy director thought that Shen Fei’s film was novel and quite eye-catching.

But he was only willing to offer 3 million yuan for a package buyout.

Shen Fei would naturally not agree to this price.

After all, if he sold it for 3 million yuan, he would not even be able to recover his costs.

Although he was not a big director, he would not tolerate his debut work losing money.

Although Shen Fei cared about his fame, he cared more about the money in his pocket.

In desperation, Shen Fei went to the remaining iQiyi.

After arriving at the iQiyi headquarters, Shen Fei was unexpectedly welcomed into the VIP room immediately.

iQiyi has been committed to the development of the online drama market in recent years.

They always believe that online dramas have certain advantages over ordinary TV dramas.

The investment cost is low, and the film can be released quickly and make a profit.

You can shoot multiple films in a year, so the financial statements will naturally look much better.

At present, iQiyi is seeking to go public.

Whether it can be successfully listed and the stock price trend after listing depends on the current financial statements to give investors and the secondary market a satisfactory answer.

Shen Fei really didn’t expect that it was iQiyi’s CEO Gong Yu who personally received him.

This made him a little flattered for a while.

In terms of respecting the wise and humble, iQiyi is indeed better than Penguin and Youku.

After a little thought, Shen Fei roughly understood the reason why Gong Yu personally received him.

After all, if iQiyi can really be successfully listed, he, as the chief CEO, will definitely benefit the most.

So naturally he will not give up any opportunity to improve performance.

In the viewing room, soft light sprinkled on the screen.

The fascinating first episode of “Go Princess Go” is now playing.

The unique “man in woman” setting instantly attracted Mr. Gong’s attention.

“Hey, this theme is really unique. The setting of man in woman is really unique in the film and television industry.It can be regarded as a unique and clear stream. ”

There was a hint of surprise in Mr. Gong’s words.

Obviously, he appreciated this kind of creativity that breaks the rules and challenges traditional gender.

Niche often means being different, which is in sharp contrast to the rampant homogeneous content.

It is this uniqueness that made him see the potential highlights.

However, as the plot gradually progresses, the simple costumes, props and makeup (costumes and makeup) slowly come into view.

Mr. Gong couldn’t help but frown slightly, and a smile with complicated meaning appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“This costume and makeup… is indeed simple to the extreme.”

Mr. Gong has a high EQ and said so.

Shen Fei was not embarrassed: “Shocking is also one of the characteristics of this drama. ”

Three episodes were broadcasted in a row, and time seemed to slip away quietly.

When the last scene slowly fell, Mr. Gong’s eyes flashed with a thoughtful light.

He knew that although there were obvious shortcomings in the costumes and props.

But “Go Princess Go” has been able to stand out among many online dramas with its novel subject matter, compact plot and vivid performances of the actors.

“The flaws do not outweigh the merits. It is really suitable for this drama.”

Mr. Gong said slowly, and he had already made a plan in his mind.

He realized that with the help of precise market positioning and marketing strategies, this drama is very likely to become a dark horse.

“We bought it out of iQiyi for 5 million.”

“Too little.”

This price naturally failed to meet Shen Fei’s expectations.

“6 million plus 15% advertising share. ”

Shen Fei thought for a moment and decided to leave a way out for himself.

Although 6 million can barely recover the cost, if “Go Princess Go” becomes popular, there will naturally be countless investors who will come to him and ask him to make a movie.

“Mr. Gong, I can see that iQiyi is very sincere, but I adhere to the principle of shopping around and want to go to other places to have a look.”

Shen Fei said apologetically.

“It’s okay, this is normal.”

“I usually have to pick and choose when I go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. ”

Gong Yu waved his hand, showing great generosity.

This made Shen Fei feel more favorable towards him.

It can be seen that Gong Yu is a very capable person. No wonder iQiyi was able to surpass Youku and Penguin in development in the following years.

For online dramas like “Go Princess Go” that cannot be broadcast on TV, there are not many ways to make money.

The most important one is naturally online copyright, which is divided into buyout and profit sharing.

The profit sharing generally includes advertising click profit sharing and member click profit sharing.

Few people click on ads when watching TV dramas.

So advertising click profit sharing is naturally not as profitable as member click profit sharing.

Therefore, the 15% advertising click profit sharing given by Gong Yu is actually not much money.

And this kind ofThe share of the money is very slow to come back. Even if it is released this month, it will probably take more than a year for the money to be transferred to Shen Fei’s account.

Its transparency is also very poor. After all, Shen Fei cannot check their background and does not know how much money they have made through advertising.

In addition to these income channels, the only remaining ones are overseas copyrights and some peripheral derivative products for sale.

It is also difficult to sell any peripherals for “Go Princess Go”, after all, the costumes and props in the play are very shocking.

However, Shen Fei has already found two writers to help create the novel of “Go Princess Go”.

If the play is really popular, the novel will be sold, selling the electronic version online and the physical version offline.

Although the income will definitely not be too much, even if it is a mosquito leg, it is still meat. He is in a state of extreme lack of money now.

This also made Shen Fei realize that he can start copying some novels now, such as “Grave Robbers’ Chronicles” and “Ghost Blowing Light”.

This will not only lay a fan base for future film and television adaptations, but also provide an additional income channel. Maybe you can become the first bestseller in the mainland and win the title of a talented “great writer”.
