At 10:00 a.m. on February 13, 2001, the sun was not hung in the sky in Yanjing, the cold wind was howling, and there were very few pedestrians on the street.

In a teahouse in DC, two middle-aged men sat on one side and a young man sat on the other side.

The two middle-aged men are nothing special, with ordinary appearance and ordinary figure.

The young man is tall and handsome, with a calm temperament. This person is Li Shengyao.

The two people opposite him were Jiang Chunming and Zhong Dacheng respectively.

This time the two of them came together, one was to contact Li Shengyao with feelings, and the other was to inquire about Li Shengyao's next drama.

In order to express sincerity, Chunming gave two kilograms of Pu'er, and Zhong Dahui gave Li Shengyao a three-dimensional vinyl phonograph.

"Director Li, I wonder what type of film and television drama your next drama will be?"

"It's a love drama."

After looking at Chunming and Zhong Dahui, both of them saw the joy in each other's eyes.

This time, "Funny Family" performed very well, and now it has a stable viewership rate of about four points.

It was also the case that "Love Deep Rain" was at the same time, which can be said to have far exceeded the expectations of everyone on both TV stations.

Given that "Funny Family" has a total of 140 episodes, it can be played for three months.

The TV series sponsorship of Shanghai City TV was sold for 12 million yuan.

Gusu TV also sold for 10 million yuan.

It can be said that the seven million broadcast rights fees I spent before were easily recovered.

Both TV station leaders and staff were very happy.

However, because it is a joint broadcast, the ratings have been greatly improved, and there will be CCTV's overall situation "The House" in April, so I am afraid that the subsequent ratings will not increase significantly.

Of course, maintaining 4% of the viewership ratings between the two units is already a big profit.

They then looked far and focused on Li Shengyao's third drama.

Li Shengyao's first love drama was "Love Destiny Hotel", with almost no publicity and a maximum rating of seven points.

If the two TVs promote this second movie together, will it be higher?

"Director Li, can you tell us about the plot of this love drama?"

"certainly."

Li Shengyao then drew out the summary of the story of "Winter Love Song" he wrote before.

He took Chunming's hands over the paper and started watching with Zhong Dahui.

In just over a thousand words, it tells the story of "Winter Love Song". The male and female protagonists met when they were young and developed love, and then started a sad love affair.

Among them are love triangles, love triangles, and the engagement scene was met with an ex-boyfriend, amnesia, terminal illness, blindness, car accident, and the second male protagonist is a brother who is a far away for love. The male protagonist and the female protagonist are suspected to be a brother and sister. The previous generation is a love triangle, and the next generation is still a love triangle.

It can be said that this love brings together all the misfortunes, which is even more complicated and bloody than Qiong Yao's drama.

Jiang Chunming was very excited. He thought this was a TV series similar to the modern version of "Love Deep Rain", "Okay, OK, OK, this story is good."

Zhong Dahui nodded, "That's right, Director Li, I really admire you. Only you can come up with such a wonderful story in our country."

Li Shengyao smiled.

The Korean version of "Winter Love Song" looks very bloody, but the details are amazing and there are many preparations.

I don’t feel abrupt when watching TV series, and I don’t feel such a bloody and disgusting thing.

In terms of script creation, the script of this drama is definitely at its best.

In just thirty episodes, so many elements are integrated, and the plot is not chaotic, and the plot is smooth and natural.

Li Shengyao didn't need to make major changes. He only changed two places. The Korean male and female protagonists met and fell in love in high school.

Early love is not allowed in the mainland, so naturally this is not possible, so he changed it to a freshman.

In addition, the Korean school system is strict, and the male and female protagonists are scolded by the director.

Li Shengyao changed to a school that had to deal with the inspection of the Education Bureau and had stricter management.

Apart from that, no need for him to change.

In fact, the drama is so successful, in addition to the good script and the good actors, there is also an important point that the photography is so beautiful.

The soundtrack of this drama is filled with a faint sadness from beginning to end. You can see pure white snow in every happy plot of the male and female protagonists, giving people a pure and fragile beauty.

Island countries like this tone, so they are so popular.

"Love Hotel" was remade by many countries, but no producers remade "Winter Love Song".

First, pearls and jade are ahead, this drama is so beautiful.

Second, this drama is too bloody. If one of them is not filmed properly, the audience will scold him to death.

No one dares to remake it.

(There is a domestic drama called "Over the Door", which is said to be a remake of "Winter Love Song", but the plot is not similar at all. The director bought the copyright of the remake, but he made some changes. I don't know why he wasted this money)

Zhong Dahui then took a sip of tea, "Director Li, how many episodes do you plan to shoot this story?"

"Thirty episodes." (The Korean version of twenty episodes, I remembered the wrong thing before, and wrote them into twenty episodes. After a book friend reminded me, it should be thirty episodes in China)

“So short?”

Looking at the story summary, there are many elements inside.

Zhong Dahui thought he was going to film forty or fifty episodes, but he didn't expect it to be so short.

Two episodes a day on weekdays, one episode a day on weekends, and it can be finished in less than three weeks.

Li Shengyao smiled, "Yes, that's OK."

"What is Director Li's production budget?"

"Eight million."

He looked over in confusion, "Are so many?"

"My Fair Princess 2" has only invested more than 10 million yuan.

"Well, this drama is going to be very beautiful. Although there are few episodes, the requirements for costumes, props, and sets are very high."

In addition to being indoors, the Korean male and female protagonists must wear a tweed coat when going out. The clothes look very textured and very expensive.

Not to mention the snow scene that falls without moving.

And the makeup of the male and female protagonists is really beautiful all the time.

At that time, Li Shengyao will provide the male and female protagonists with beautiful and high-end clothes, as well as the best stylists for them, and snowflakes that can fly at any time.

All of these require money.

Jiang Chunming nodded and then asked: "Is this main investor your own company or Dafu Film and Television Company?"

"My own company."

Li Dafu has found Li Shengyao and wants to continue to cooperate, but Li Shengyao refused.

Dafu Film and Television Company has nothing to do except money, so there is no need to continue to cooperate.

What’s more important is that his company has been established, so he will naturally invest in it himself, so that he can be considered a masterpiece.

He looked at Chunming and Zhong Dacheng at a glance, and then asked tentatively: "Director Li, what is the fixed number if we both want to invest?"

Li Shengyao thought for a while, then said: "The copyright of overseas broadcasting belongs to me. If I invest one million, I can give the two domestic broadcasting rights a dividend of 15%."

Previously, it was mainly Dafu Film and Television, giving up 10% of the dividends.

At that time, Li Shengyao's fame was not as good as he is now.

Logically speaking, Li Shengyao does not need to give up more than 10% of the dividend.

However, the number of episodes of "Winter Love Song" is too small, only thirty episodes.

Calculated at a cost of 8 million, as far as the domestic broadcasting rights are concerned, I am afraid that I will have to sell three or four rounds to recover the cost.

This cost recovery time is too long.

If there are forty episodes, with his previous ratings, he can sell 120,000 or 130,000 episodes per episode, and those two rounds can recover the cost.

Too few episodes, it is too difficult to recover costs.

He is willing to give up more dividends, of course Gusu TV and Shanghai TV also have to help him solve some problems.

Li Shengyao actually doesn't look down on this little money in China. He will be satisfied if he can recover the domestic broadcasting rights for four or five million.

His goal is to launch the male and female protagonists. After Bae Yongjun starred in this drama, he ranked first in the Korean gold-making bar for two consecutive years, 80 million in 2004 and 250 million in 2005. (Chapter 51 is to introduce the achievements of "Winter Love Song", which was popular in Asia. The broadcast rights were sold for dozens of Guo Jia. Bae Yongjun made a movie in 2005. He received advertisements all over the world and earned 250 million in 2005)

If Zhao Yang could be as popular as Bae Yongjun, or half as possible, Li Shengyao's company could make hundreds of millions.

After hearing this, Jiang Chunming and Zhong Dahui thought about it, and then expressed his intention to ask for instructions.

Fifteen minutes later, the two of them smiled and agreed.
