At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 445

Shen Xudong doesn't have any sports that he is good at. The only thing worth mentioning is that table tennis is okay, and occasionally he can swim or something...

Oh, the club Zhang Jian mentioned is the Mengzhou Star Club.

As the saying goes: there is no distinction between style and style!

More than 200 celebrities have joined the "Mengzhou Star Club", which is well-known in the circle!
In recent years, celebrities have tasted the sweetness of forming an "amateur salon"-connections.

Therefore, this star group, which was originally just a few people who came together because of a common hobby, has grown stronger and stronger...

Of course, the core staff are still those few...

Daoming Chen must be a core member, and so is Zhang Jian as the founder of the club.

This old man has forged many good relationships in the entertainment industry with his hospitality and extensive friendships.

Later, because of the incidents of members involved in foreign affairs and gangsters, although Mengzhou did not disintegrate, it no longer organized activities publicly...

In name only.

Zhang Jian established Mengzhou Film and Television Company, and filmed anti-Japanese dramas. The famous Mengzhou Anti-Japanese War trilogy "Snow Leopard", "Black Fox", "Wolf"...

Pulling back, I heard that Shen Xudong is good at table tennis and swimming, Zhang Jian immediately said: "Then join the table tennis team and the swimming team..."

"I'm not good enough, I'm an amateur..."

"They're all amateur players, it's just a party!"

Shen Xudong glanced at Chen Daoming, seeing him nodding, Shen Xudong could only smile and agree...

Zhang Jian continued: "I heard that "Wulin Gaiden" made more than 4000 million yuan?"

Shen Xudong quickly waved his hands: "No..."

"Just tell the truth, there are no outsiders!"

Shen Xudong silently calculated, and then said: "In fact, 4000 million is just the book profit of the TV series. We also sold the game adaptation rights, stage play adaptations, animation adaptations, and novel adaptations...including the authorization of the playground. In short, everything that can be developed is in the keep up..."

"Doesn't that mean that a piece of "Wulin Biography" can earn hundreds of millions?"

"Almost... anyway, "Wulin Biography" is currently the company's most profitable project...but it hasn't been paid yet, and many TV stations are in arrears..."

"Usually I will!" Cao Huayi interjected, "I heard that "Wulin Biography" is your main investment?"

"Yes... I accepted the adaptation of "Happy Heroes" and wanted to make it into a sitcom. Then I saw the script of "Wulin Biography"...I immediately stopped thinking. The script of "Wulin Biography" is great...I told the boss This drama must be caught..."

"Boss? Gao Fenfen?" Zhang Jian asked, "Xudong is so talented, have you ever thought about being your own boss?"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then seriously replied: "...I am the boss of my company...They are all working for me!"

"...Are you the major shareholder?"

"Yes, I took half of the shares..."

"Have you thought about making it bigger?"

"It's already big, we're all working with Hollywood!"

"What about attracting investment?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I don't have this idea for now..."

Chen Daoming was speechless: "You just say it directly...Your Uncle Zhang means that you and Chen Kexin collaborated on the "Certificate of Voting"..."

"Oh, I was only in charge of the script for that film..."

"Is it a blockbuster?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Well, I'm looking for Li Lianlian. The total investment is probably over [-] million...the risk is too great..."

"Didn't it mean that the overseas copyright of Li Lianlian's film is very easy to sell!"

"There are too many literary and opera parts in "Tou Ming Certificate...The copyright may not be easy to sell..."

……

They are all knowledgeable, and Shen Xudong doesn't need to talk about the return of "The Promise" affecting the overseas sales of ancient costume blockbusters...

The topic turned to "Five Star Hotel".

Haiyan's new drama!
It was also Cao Huayi's last drama in Zhongsheng Chunqiu. After that, he established Xinli Media and made his own drama.

Because... the filming of "Five Star Hotel" was too tiring.

It took five months to shoot for three months as agreed, and the agreed cost of 2000 million was overrun to 3500 million in the end...

But, "Five Star Hotel" was very profitable, and it was exported to South Korea, Japan, the United States and other countries, and the copyright of the disc was also sold at a high price.

From the beginning to the end, Cao Huayi was busy with this matter... the most profitable one was Haiyan.

Why does he think he doesn't invest?
So, I left Zhongsheng Chunqiu and made Xinli myself!

However, these haven’t happened yet. We mainly talk about shooting fun and some industry insiders...

"I heard that CCTV has canceled thousands of episodes of TV dramas at once?"

"Almost, the main types are squeezed too much..."

Once a certain type of TV series is affirmed, dramas of the same theme will flock to it. For example, after CCTV broadcasts the bitter drama "Big Sister", serial dramas such as "Big Sister" and "Big Brother" immediately appeared on the market;
After "Holding Hands" was broadcast, the major TV stations followed to pay attention to family ethics. However, due to too many similar themes, in order to fight for a position, ethics eventually reduced to the performance of deformed love, deadly murder, etc...

"I know there are two dramas, "Goujian, King of Yue" and "Taste the Courage"..."

The former one is starring Chen Baoguo, and the latter one is starring Chen Daoming and Hu Jun as Goujian and Fucha...

"Hey, it's not a huge profit to be a TV drama!"

Chen Daoming interjected: "So, we need to find new themes... Didn't Xu Dong and Lao Zheng collaborate on "The Conspiracy"? A spy drama?"

Shen Xudong swallowed his food and nodded: "Yes...spy war drama."

"Are you good at this subject?"

"The drama involved in the case is not allowed to be broadcast. There is no drama involved in the case. It is a great pity for the audience of suspense stories. The spy war drama fills this gap..."

Cao Huayi suddenly realized: "Oh, you are working hard in the direction of suspense!"

"Hmm... I think it's easy for underground workers to create dramatic tension when surrounded by a group of enemies... This is a typical character, a typical environment..."

"It's amazing to be creative..."

Chen Daoming nodded: "He gave me a script called "Before Dawn", which is very good...I like it very much!"

"Is it also a spy war type?"

"Um…"

Chen Daoming nodded, and then added: "Don't even think about it, CCTV will also invest in this drama..."

Zhang Jian was a little regretful: "That's too bad..."

Chen Daoming waved his hand: "What's the pity, even if CCTV doesn't vote, they have their own company..."

Zhang Jian turned to look at Shen Xudong: "Do you still have the script?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "It's gone for now..."

Even if there is, Shen Xudong will not share it...

He is no longer the Shen Xudong of two years ago. He has people and money. Even if the cake can be shared, he will not just find someone to share it with!

"Then can I have a play date?"

"Of course, you can ask for it, and I will write it!"

"It can make money!"

This...Shen Xudong was a little speechless: "I'm not sure if I can make money..."

"...I made a deal with the TV station, an urban drama..."

Urban drama?Can make money... Wait a minute, Shen Xudong suddenly thought of something: "Uncle Zhang, if you want to make money, you might as well remake classics, such as "Legend of the White Snake" and "Shanghai Beach"... There must be TV stations paying for it!"
