Chapter 376 The only way

Lin Zixuan naturally agreed to the cooperation plan proposed by Chen Changle, which was a profitable project. ★★

Although he does not pay much attention to the film and television industry in Guangdong, sitcoms like "The Foreign Wife Local Son-in-law" with a local rating of more than 40% will appear in the media from time to time.

Now it is not like before. The ratings of "Desire" can reach more than 90%. In addition to the touching plot, it is also because there were no other dramas to watch at that time, so we could only stay at China TV.

This created the ratings myth.

Now that the TV series market is booming, the audience has a choice, and a drama has a viewership rate of more than 15% is considered a hit.

This shows how popular "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Cosmother" is in Guangdong Province.

Lin Zixuan estimated that the production cost of such films is not high, and three million is enough. As long as you can win a box office of 10 million in Guangdong Province, you can make a stable profit without losing money.

Feng Xiaogang's three New Year's films have basically had a box office of more than 10 million in Beijing, which is the regional advantage.

Moreover, comedy in the north and south is very different, and there is no direct conflict with Good Dream Company.

If a film and television company wants to film Beijing-style comedy, Lin Zixuan will definitely not agree to cooperate and he cannot cultivate competitors.

"Brother Chen, this is just a matter of one sentence, if you have this idea, I will definitely help you." Lin Zixuan promised, "I am not familiar with Guangdong Province and don't know much about Lingnan comedy. This matter is still based on you, I will just help you."

"Brother Lin is too humble. You are experts in this field. You want to teach me how to do it." Chen Changle said politely.

"To be honest, with the foundation of TV series, as long as the filming is not too bad, the audience will definitely buy it. However, if you want to make a signature, you have to put some effort into it." Lin Zixuan suggested, "In the future, if you release a movie every year or every two years, and keep this series going, the first one will not disappoint the audience."

"That's what I think, just like a TV series, I keep filming and making money." Chen Changle nodded.

"Let's do this, Brother Chen, please come out first. I'll find someone to do the shooting plan and later publicity business. Let's try to shoot it at the end of the year to hit the New Year's holiday." Lin Zixuan discussed.

This year, Feng Xiaokang has withdrawn from the New Year holiday, and many film and television companies are watching this, and Lin Zixuan doesn’t mind being involved.

The local comedy like "The Foreign Wife and Local Son-in-law" is probably not competitive in Guangdong Province. The economy of Guangdong Province is large, the audience base is large, and the box office revenue is extremely considerable.

Chen Changle wanted to copy Feng Xiaogang's New Year's film and agreed with Lin Zixuan's arrangements very much.

Influenced by the Xiangjiang film and television industry, viewers are more likely to accept New Year's films.

It is not easy to transfer from TV series to the film industry. When Haomeng Company first filmed "Party A and Party B" in cooperation with Beijing Film Studio, it used the personnel and equipment of Beijing Film Studio.

Those people thought Feng Xiaogang was a novice, and the crew had a lot of conflicts.

This made Lin Zixuan determined to form his own team, and Chen Changle faced the same problem. He did not have the talent to make movies.

There are state-owned film studios in Guangdong Province, such as Yuejiang Film Studio, which is in Huacheng. Why did Chen Changle go far and not cooperate with Guangdong Film Studio, but instead look for Lin Zixuan?

One is that Guangdong Film Studio may not necessarily cooperate with him, he has no way.

Moreover, he was worried that Guangdong Film Studio would have too much appetite and would not be worth the loss if he took over the copyright of this film.

This is not impossible. If Guangdong Film Studio thinks that this film makes money, they will shoot the sequel by themselves. At most, they will give you some money to buy out the copyright. They have the confidence to do so.

If you don't want to, they can only change their names and still take pictures.

Chen Changle and Lin Zixuan are both private film and television companies, one in the south and one in the north, without conflicts of interest. Lin Zixuan has no foundation in Guangdong Province and will not have any ideas. Everyone has a happy cooperation.

This can be said that Chen Changle is smart, or that his situation is too small and he watches this movie too seriously.

If he could cooperate with Yuejiang Film Studio and establish a good relationship with Yuejiang Film Studio, the gains and losses of a film were nothing, and perhaps a new world would be opened up.

Lin Zixuan's strategy is to first rely on state-owned film studios, gradually expand and strengthen himself, gain the right to exercise movies, and then break away from his dependence on state-owned film studios, so as to be truly independent.

This is the only way for private film and television companies.

Of course, in China, it is impossible to truly break away from state-owned enterprises, and win-win cooperation is the fundamental.

Chen Changle's approach is quite safe. As long as he has the copyright of "The Foreign Wife and Local Son-in-law", he is a continuous tool for making money and he will never have to worry about this life.

The two discussed a rough charter, Chen Changle provided the script, and also starred in the original TV series.

Lin Zixuan will send someone to help build the crew and be responsible for post-production promotion.

In terms of investment, the total investment is three million, which can only be considered a low-cost comedy film. Chen Changle invested 2.2 million yuan and Lin Zixuan invested 800,000 yuan. The income of the film is distributed according to the investment ratio.

It’s not that Lin Zixuan has no money, but that he doesn’t want to compete with Chen Changle for profit. If investments each account for half of the profits, they will also account for half of the profits.

After all, this is Chen Changle's project, and Lin Zixuan will not be so irresponsible. Only by knowing how to be sensible can we cooperate for a long time.

It's almost July now, so if the film is released at the end of the year, you have to speed up the action.

Lin Zixuan called Yu Dong to explain the situation and asked him to draw relevant personnel to prepare to go south to carry out work.

Yu Dong was very surprised. Unexpectedly, Lin Zixuan said that he would go on a trip and found a considerable cooperative project in a blink of an eye.

He studied it and found that this is a high-quality project and the possibility of profitability is very high. The key is to allow Haomeng Company to open up the film market in the south and establish a close connection with local theaters.

All along, the videos of Haomeng Company have been hot in the north and cold in the south.

This is related to the theme of the film, and this is the case with Beijing comedy. It is also because Good Dream Company has nothing to do with it in the south. This time, this time it may be able to make up for this shortcoming.

In the evening, Chen Changle treated her to a hotel and everyone had a meal of authentic Cantonese cuisine. During the meal, he was very enthusiastic about Ge You.

He wanted Ge You to make a guest appearance in the film. As a representative figure of northern comedians, this contrast would definitely be very interesting if Ge You appeared in a southern comedy movie.

Given the feeling of a great fusion of comedy in the north and south, Ge You's box office appeal should not be underestimated.

Lin Zixuan is not optimistic about this idea, and always feels that the style of painting is wrong. Each region has different comedy forms. It is better not to be popular with a mix and match style at this time, so it is better to be authentic. (To be continued.)8
