Chapter 2677 The 'Great Evil' in the Film and Television Industry
After finishing a large bowl of noodles comfortably, Wu Hao began to burp and drink the noodle soup leisurely.
Lin Wei sat opposite with a fruit plate, eating the fruit inside, while smiling at Wu Hao and jokingly said: "Those who don't know better would think that you have been fleeing to Africa these days, and you are being treated badly.
"
"At noon, there were only a few people at the table talking and not eating much, so of course they were hungry." Wu Hao said with a smile.
"What about in the army?"
"The food in the army is good." Wu Hao said with a smile: "We had a buffet for lunch, and the food was very good. The instant noodles we cooked with Zhang Xiaolei and the others in the evening were also good."
"It looks like the conditions there are not that good, and I've eaten all these instant noodles." Lin Wei said with a smile after hearing this.
"In mountainous areas, the conditions are naturally not as convenient as in the city. The main reason is that it was too late at night, and I was afraid of bothering others, so I cooked the instant noodles myself, poured some military cans and other things into it, and made a big pot, not to mention the taste.
It’s really good.” Wu Hao explained with a smile.
After hearing what Wu Hao said, Lin Wei nodded, then looked at Wu Hao and said, "Uncle and aunt called and asked when we will go back."
"When did you hit him?"
"yesterday."
After hearing Lin Wei's words, Wu Hao pondered for a while and then said: "Let's wait until we are done with this period of work. It is indeed a bit difficult to leave during this period."
"Then explain it to them yourself." Lin Wei heard this and said to Wu Hao.
"Okay, I'll make a call." Wu Hao nodded. He also knew that Lin Wei couldn't explain this matter, so he could only do it himself.
"Why are you so keen on letting us go back this year? You didn't ask around?"
"I asked, and they said nothing happened. I also asked the staff in charge of them. There is nothing going on at home. Maybe the second wife misses you," Lin Wei replied.
After hearing Lin Wei's words, Wu Hao couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and then he said with a sore nose: "Let's wait until we finish this period of work."
"Cut it, the cooked duck has a tough mouth." After saying that, Lin Wei took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Wu Hao.
Seeing this, Wu Hao took the tissue and wiped it, then drank the noodle soup in one go and walked to the bathroom.
Looking at Wu Hao's back, Lin Wei moved the corners of her mouth and sighed involuntarily for a long time.
After rushing out of the bathroom, the rice bowls on the dining table had been taken away by the intelligent service robot, and they started cleaning up in the kitchen. Lin Wei, on the other hand, sat on the sofa in the living room with the fruit plate in her arms.
Upon seeing this, Wu Hao smiled and sat over, and Lin Wei also leaned into Wu Hao's arms.
A movie was playing on the big screen. The special effects were very gorgeous, but the content was a bit like an idol drama. When Wu Hao saw this, he hooked Lin Wei's chin and asked with a smile: "This is your company's movie."
"When we cooperate with other companies, we are responsible for the special effects part." Lin Wei said with a smile: "The company wants to make these stars famous, so they want to produce a sophisticated drama to increase their popularity. You know.
Our company's special effects production level is relatively high, so we spent a lot of money to find us.
For this 28-episode film, the total special effects and post-production costs were nearly 200 million. This is a scale that none of the idol films in the past could achieve.
So as soon as this movie came out, it was very popular among the audience and the response was very good. These celebrities also became popular because of this drama, and they even endorsed many products for us."
"Then you are not losing money, this is equivalent to giving the money you earned from them back to them." Wu Hao said with a smile.
"What, do you think we are so stupid? When they were filming the series, they filmed relevant advertisements for us, but we never posted them. We only posted them when they became popular. At first, because
They have a cooperative relationship with us, so the price charged by their economic company is very cheap, basically giving it away for free." Lin Wei said with a proud look on her face.
"That's not bad." Wu Hao nodded when he heard this. This can be regarded as a kind of prior investment. You invest when the other party is not popular, and then you bet on whether the invested stars can become popular. If they are popular, they will definitely make a lot of money. If they are not, they will make a lot of money.
In fact, there is not much loss. This is actually the same as for these economic companies.
The same goes for their business and packaging of these idol stars. They are betting that one of the idol stars they cultivate will be popular. As long as one of them is popular, they can recoup the cost and make a lot of money.
This is also the reason why these economic companies are so prosperous and are keen on packaging and cultivating new idol stars. It is because of low costs and high profits.
Hearing Wu Hao's praise, Lin Wei snuggled against him, found a comfortable position, and then continued: "Our company does not have its own artists, so there is no direct conflict of interest with these economic companies, plus our special effects
The post-production level is excellent, and they have their own independent and huge distribution channels, so these economic companies, including these star actors, are very keen on our cooperation.
Of course, the dramas we shoot and produce are very sophisticated, so we have requirements for actors, and we choose actors with relatively good acting skills.
Naturally, these young idol stars do not have the qualifications and strength in this area, but they do not want to give up such opportunities. So these economic companies changed their minds and used this method to cooperate with us.
Then when promoting it, I put my name on it and said it was produced by us."
"Is this okay?" Wu Hao asked.
Lin Wei raised her head and glanced at Wu Hao, then said: "What's the problem? In fact, everyone knows what's going on, but no one has exposed it, so naturally we won't be the villain.
Besides, these are nothing to lose for us. The relevant dramas we produce are not comparable to these idol dramas, so these dramas will also avoid our schedule, and now we have almost formed a tacit understanding. Whenever
We have new dramas coming out, and other new dramas will choose to avoid this slot."
"You guys are like evil people." When Wu Hao heard what Lin Wei said, he couldn't help but laugh and joke.
Lin Wei also smiled after hearing this and said: "I can't say there is a big villain, but everyone knows that our dramas are well-produced and they are unwilling to confront us head-on. This is very common in the film and television industry. For example, when a big-budget movie is released, some other
The movie will take the initiative to withdraw and make way for this slot.
In fact, it’s not just them, it’s the same for us. Although our special effects and post-production levels are relatively high, and our dramas are well-produced, it doesn’t mean that every drama we produce is good, and there are also bad ones.
Moreover, other film and television companies will also launch some excellent dramas and movies. When encountering this situation, we will also choose to give in and not collide with each other. This has quickly become a potential rule in the industry. After all, harmony makes money.
