Who are you calling powerful?.

Chapter 286
"...We must earnestly focus on quality, focus on creating high-quality film and television programs, and keep in mind key elements such as high quality, innovation, and diversification..."

At the Shanghai Economic Summit in the new year, Wei Yang, as the business representative of Shanghai and one of the leaders of the film and television culture industry of Shanghai, successfully appeared on stage, further confirming his status as a bigwig in the Shanghai circle.

As a matter of fact, Wei Yang still has a certain status in the business world of Shanghai, despite the fact that Blue Whale's market value and assets are not much, and its tax payment is not as good as those big companies.

But Blue Whale has great influence. In recent years, it has been killing wildly in the film and television culture industry, and it is also one of the most prestigious companies in the industry.

Many industries cannot be summarized by market value and economy, sports and culture are the most vivid examples.

To a certain extent, it represents the soft power of a city, especially the top two cities in the country like Shanghai, which pay more attention to comprehensive strength, so they can't hold back.

Blue Whale may not be able to make money and pay taxes compared to those real estate, automobile, financial and other companies, but hits such as "Eastern Palace" and "Celebrating More Than Years" are popular all over the country and have extremely high popularity and influence.

And Blue Whale, as a company in Shanghai, is rounded up. This is the thriving development of the local culture, film and television industry in Shanghai, all of which are political achievements.

Because of this, as the Blue Whale became more and more famous, Wei Yang also won some official support, and his own status also increased accordingly.

Not to mention that Wei Yang has a strong image, is self-made, has a great reputation and a good reputation, and is simply a standard youth business idol.

The only life style issue criticized, considering his private enterprise, itself is young, and has never actually admitted it, so it is not a big deal.

Therefore, the officials of Modu deliberately praised Wei Yang, otherwise they would not have allowed him to show his face at such an important summit.

The level of this summit is very high, and it will be broadcast on the "Evening News" of Modu TV, and may even be on "News Network". Of course, it is hard to say whether there is a scene of Wei Yang.

This also shows Boss Wei's current strength in Shanghai.

Perhaps many wealthy people in Shanghai are richer than him, but their actual influence, status in the market, and weight in the eyes of officials are all inferior.

After attending the summit, Wei Yang has another important thing to do, that is, the blue whale has finally moved.

I said it before.Blue Whale is growing day by day. The original company is too remote and the area is too small to support the company's development. So it officially moved after the Spring Festival.

The new company is located in a building in Xuhui, with a total of three floors, two of which belong to Blue Whale.

On another level, Wei Yang moved Orange Shell Culture Company, Emerald Shrimp Film and Television Investment Company, and several other related companies here.

First, it is convenient for nearby management. At the same time, many other businesses of these companies have social contacts, and they are in the same office location, so it is easy to cooperate.

At present, only Red Shark Games and Green Crab Ventures have not moved in Wei Yang's name or actual holding companies.

The former Wei Yang is very optimistic, and the follow-up volume will continue to increase, so he gave independence.

As for Green Crab Ventures, it belongs to Wei Yang's personal finance company, and it involves too many investments in various aspects, so there is no need to put it together with companies like Blue Whale.

It is said that it is moving after the Spring Festival, but in fact, many employees have moved here before the Spring Festival, and now they are completely moving.

Blue Whale, Office of the President

Wei Yang looked at his new office and nodded in satisfaction.

The new office is larger than the one in Baoshan, covering about 200 square meters, including a lounge, tea room, toilet, bathroom and changing room. It is no problem to live directly as a family.

Moreover, compared with the old version, the decoration plan of the new office was personally decided by Wei Yang, which is luxurious and aesthetically pleasing.

What satisfies Wei Yang most is that the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office face the Huangpu River directly. The 28-story floor allows him to enjoy the river and building views outside, giving him the feeling of seeing all the small mountains at a glance.

After getting a cup of coffee from the coffee machine, Wei Yang sat on the sofa in front of the window, enjoying the new office silently.

dong dong——

There was a knock on the door, and Hu Ya, who was still his secretary, came in: "Boss, Vice President Xiao is here."

During the relocation of Blue Whale, the company also underwent a certain degree of reorganization, including the previously mentioned film and television department as the TV department and the film department, and the promotion of several vice presidents to share management pressure and so on.

Due to the great success of "Celebrating More Than Years", Xiao was successfully promoted to vice president, mainly to manage the film and television business.

"Old Xiao, sit down."

As the new senior executive of the company, Xiao Jiu's name has changed from the more serious name or as before to the more intimate old Xiao, which also represents Wei Yang's value and attitude towards him.

Vice President Xiao had a bright smile on his face, and before he could sit down, he couldn't wait to share the good news.

"Boss, "Celebrating More Than Years" has broken 4."

Wei Yang was taken aback for a moment, and took the folder handed over by Vice President Xiao, which contained the statistical results just released today.

"Celebrating More Than Years" had an average audience rating of 4.02, with an audience share of 25.7%, ranking first in the same period.

Wei Yang couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

According to prior estimates, "Celebrating More Than Years" has a high chance of breaking 4, but estimates are estimates, and the reality is often not necessarily so accurate.

If it was broadcast normally, it might not be difficult, but who made "Celebrating More Than Years" happen to coincide with the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival Gala was forced to stop for one day, and the viewership was affected to a certain extent due to the heavy workload of the audience on the first and second day of the Lunar New Year.

The past few days have also caused the original momentum of "Celebrating More Than Years" to stagnate, or even decline.

After all, chasing updates, whether it is a TV series or a movie, pays attention to continuity and stability.

If there is a stop in the middle, and other reasons cause the chase to stop, then the audience is likely to stop chasing directly.Or plan to save up and go back to the Internet to read it in one go.

Even these audiences make up a small fraction.It also hurts grades.

Therefore, "Celebrating More Than Years" was forced to suffer setbacks for several days. After the momentum of the Spring Festival passed, it regained its vitality and finally broke 4.

However, with such a delay and the fact that there are not many episodes to come, it is estimated that the follow-up ratings increase will be limited, and the high probability will remain in the early 4s.

But Wei Yang is already very satisfied. To be honest, he has confidence in "Celebrating More Than Years", but he didn't expect to break 4.

Now the TV drama competition is getting more and more fierce, and the theme of "Celebrating More Than Years" is more on the Internet than on the TV platform. Even with the various bonuses from Wei Yangnong, he still thinks breaking 3 is good.

Now this result is far beyond his expectation, why is Wei Yang dissatisfied.

"Notify the publicity and distribution team to keep the last shift and cooperate closely with Hunan Province. We must stabilize the ratings. If we keep it, the company will reward us with bonuses."

"Understood, I'll arrange it now."

Breaking 4 is not the ultimate goal, it is victory to stabilize the score of breaking 4 until the end of the TV series.

After Xiao left, Wei Yang looked at the report again, and the phone rang. Naturally, someone saw the news and came to congratulate him.

Broken 3 and Broken 4 are completely two concepts!
Last year's "Eastern Palace" broke 3, it is true, but CCTV also has several dramas that broke 3, so from the outside world, with the help of the platform and the current situation, it may not be impossible for everyone to break 3.

But breaking 4 is different. Since the change of ratings statistics method, only "My Love from the Star" has achieved this in recent years, and "Celebrating More Than Years" has become the second one, which has a great impact.

And Wei Yang, as the leading actor of these two dramas, has become even more popular.

However, I didn't have much actual contact with it. Apart from knowing that it was almost impossible for Wei Yang to take on outside plays, the most important thing was that it was too expensive.

At present, Wei Yang's single episode of TV dramas has a minimum of more than 85 yuan, and the actual bids are basically more than 100 million yuan.

If Wei Yang is willing to take on behind-the-scenes work such as screenwriter and director, there will be another huge salary.

A company in Beijing offered Wei Yang a sky-high price of 4500 million yuan, including 1000 million yuan for the script + 3000 million yuan for the film + 500 million yuan for behind-the-scenes production.

This is just cash. In addition, the company also promised to give Wei Yang 30% of the crew's income.

Regardless of how much this income can be, as long as Wei Yang nods 4500 million, he will get it.

Even if you get Cheng Long to make a TV series, you don't necessarily get so much.

After all, even if it is Cheng Long, the platform side has to be vague, but with Wei Yang's name on it, the total revenue is less than 1 million, and the one responsible for the distribution can be shot.

Either he took kickbacks or he was a fool, and he wasted food no matter what.

Wei Yang's salary and related prices soared, which directly led to a higher cost of the next two parts of "Celebrating More Than Years", and the difficulty of filming TV after Wei Yang was greatly increased.

The cost of hiring him is too high, even if the salary is converted, the share of the revenue taken away is not a fraction.

For TV dramas with a slightly lower cost, Wei Yang takes too much, basically there is no profit margin, which is equivalent to the film crew working for Wei Yang.

Even if Wei Yang can offer a friendly price, it can't be too much. These are all his personal benefits, and the TV drama depends entirely on him to support the price. It is impossible for shareholders and other partners to prostitute themselves.

So the current situation is very embarrassing, and there is even an outrageous phenomenon that makes people laugh and cry——

Wei Yang can't afford to please himself!

The follow-up Blue Whale's small and medium cost dramas, unless Wei Yang is particularly suitable and the price is reduced, there is basically no need to consider it.

Of course, that's what it says, but we are a family after all, if Wei Yang wants to act, Blue Whale and the film studio can naturally formulate various profit-sharing terms and gradually coordinate.

Even if Wei Yang suffers a little loss in personal salary, he can still earn back from other aspects such as Blue Whale.

You can't really stop acting, you'd be a fool to waste your fame and brand in vain...

At the end of January, the finale of the first season of "Celebrating More Than Years" was broadcast.

The plot stopped at the critical point where Fan Xian was backstabbed, causing countless viewers to curse, and Wei Yang's Weibo comment area was trampled, even his fans couldn't stand it.

But in any case, the final ratings of 4.11 still make "Celebrating More Than Years" one of the best TV dramas in recent years.

As Wei Yang's reputation grows, everyone looks forward to the next two parts of "Celebrating More Than Years".

And Blue Whale also announced in due course that starting from March, "Celebrating More Than Years 3" and "Celebrating More Than Years 2" will be launched in Hengdian...
