Entertainment: Top Agents

"Do I still need to introduce this work?"Liang Lin asked the boss

"No, no, no, haha~" Sun Zhong smiled and raised his hand, indicating that it was no longer needed.

"I don’t need you to introduce this. After all, this novel is a good work."

"In this case, Mr. Sun, I will not hesitate to tell you that the novel"Ghost Blowing", which is also about tomb robbing, is also my work."Liang Lin even told him everything here.

"What did you say? Were you the author of these two tomb robbing novels?"

"That's right! I just wrote these two novels under different pen names."Liang Lin nodded, and then said:"If you have seen it, you will definitely know that although they are all about tomb robbing,"

"Although they are both about tomb robbing, the stories and settings are actually different."

"In order to distinguish them, I used two pen names at the time."

"And now, these are my sincerities."Liang Lin felt that he was sincere enough.

Sun Zhong, who was crossing his legs, heard it. Liang Lin's sincerity had already been shown.

What about his? Where is their sincerity from Penguin Film and Television?

Sun Zhong is not stupid either, and he knows it very well..

If nothing else, just talking about these two novels, there are two series of TV drama scripts adapted from them.

Moreover, many platforms and film and television companies are interested in the film and television adaptation rights of these two novels.

Because I have read , everyone knows how much commercial value these two series will have after being adapted into film and television dramas.

If Penguin Film and Television and Penguin Video do not show enough sincerity to impress Liang Lin at this time.

Then Liang Lin can definitely follow 271, Cooperate with Youku.

Penguin Video, which is in urgent need of projects now, certainly doesn’t want to let go of these two themes.

"In this way, in order to express our sincerity, Liang Lin and I can express our stance now"

"In the film and television dramas adapted from these two novels, we at Penguin Films will not interfere in how the plots are adapted. We at Penguin Films will not interfere in the adapted scripts and the actors used after the project is established. We will leave it to you to take charge. Serve as Producer"

"how?"This is the sincerity shown by Sun Zhong and Penguin Film and Television.

Penguin Film and Television needs projects to prove the company's business capabilities, and Liang Lin needs an opportunity to stand up for himself again.

Both of them need such an opportunity, so the sincerity shown by each other is very important. It's enough.

And this is exactly what Liang Lin needs.

"Okay, I'm just waiting for Mr. Sun's words."Liang Lin smiled and agreed.

"Of course, the film and television dramas adapted from these two novels will definitely be broadcast on our Penguin Video"

"Moreover, the production cost of this film and television drama must be reasonable and cannot be exaggerated."

This is something Sun Zhong is particularly concerned about.

Although it is true that Goose Factory is rich and powerful, Penguin Film and Television is a newly expanded business segment.

Even if Goose Factory is the financial backer, the initial investment must be rigorous.

Otherwise, when the investment is large, the harvest of the works will not reach the initial investment.

Then the investment in the future may not be so large.

Sun Zhong believes in the commercial value of these two series, but this production The cost of the film cannot be messed up.

"I know this, so Mr. Sun, don’t worry, I will try my best to control the production costs."

Liang Lin knows this very well. He will have to pay for the production costs when the time comes.

But he will also deduct some unnecessary expenses.

"There is also a script here, a script for a serious drama"

"If Penguin Video is willing to invest in production, it can be broadcast on stars and on your platform at the same time."Liang Lin took out one of the scripts

"let's get married?"Seeing this script, Sun Zhong opened it and read it.

"You, Penguin Pictures, want to make your own drama, I understand that."

"But Penguin Film and Television is also a film and television production company, so you can’t always produce self-made web series, right?"

"I think if there is such a serious drama project, you can also invest in the production"

"I believe that this script has great potential. As long as you are willing to invest, this script will definitely bring you a lot of profits. The most important thing is that if you have the support of the project, then your Penguin Film and Television can Get on track faster."

Liang Lin has been preparing for this for a long time.

Sun Zhong also understands that of course he also wants to invest in a drama project that can reach stars.

Now he has it, and it seems that the potential of this script is very good

"Tell us your budget and ideas for this project."Sun Zhong asked him to talk about it first.

"For the entire 50-episode drama, the investment cost will exceed 1 million per episode, and the cost may even be higher, possibly even 1.5 million per episode."

"But Mr. Sun, you don’t need to worry, because we can do advertising placement"

"We can discuss cooperation with some brands. We can embed their brand products in the drama, and then let them pay for advertising placement. In this way, we can greatly reduce a lot of investment by relying on the cost of advertising placement. cost"

"At that time, when the TV series is produced, we can earn back the investment cost by selling broadcast rights to TV stations. At the same time, the TV series will be broadcast on the Internet platform and can also fill our Penguin video resource library."

"On Penguin Video, this drama can also be used to generate a wave of revenue from advertising positions, and it can also attract many people to become members of Penguin Video."

Liang Lin expressed his thoughts, and Sun Zhong really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

He had never even thought that advertising could be embedded in TV dramas.

If it is according to what Liang Lin said, then it is completely possible. Okay.

For example, for popular TV dramas now broadcast, the advertisements before the broadcast start at least 450,000 for 15 seconds, which is 30,000 per second.

If it is a TV series on an Internet platform, of course there are pre-title advertisements. , usually 60 seconds, 90 seconds

"Yes, we at Penguin Film and Television can invest in this project. You must prepare a detailed project budget. Sun

Zhong's agreement also made Liang Lin understand:"But as for this, you need to give me time to select the actors and find the director. Only after I have found the actors and director, can I give a rough estimate." Budget"

"But according to my current thinking, the minimum must be between 65 million and 70 million."

"I can help you discuss the placement of advertisements in TV series. Sun

Zhong thought there was no problem, so he agreed:"Okay, Penguin Films has invested in this project, and you will serve as the producer. We will cooperate on these projects; the screenwriter's remuneration will be calculated together with your producer's remuneration.""

Sun Zhong was also very happy. Since it was an opportunity for each other to need each other, you're welcome. Keep it simple and direct.
