Chapter 254 Promotion to Producer
"It's enough to have your words. We must follow the script and the project. If there is a possibility of filming, Haichuan Media should be able to spare."

Lu Manqing made an agreement with Qin Chuan in advance, lest the copyright be sold to others without knowing it.

Chen Yuwei thought about it seriously, and replied: "The company is currently only shooting one TV series "Zhu Xian" at the same time, and is fully capable of making another TV series. When "Detective Di Renjie" is almost ready, "Zhu Xian" must have already been filmed. Finish."

Although she hasn't read this historical mystery novel written by her boyfriend yet, she can tell from the reactions of other people that it is definitely a masterpiece!
For the current size of Haichuan Media, an excellent TV series is still very important.

As the saying goes, fat water does not flow into outsiders' fields.

If the director can really come up with a suitable plan and offer generous conditions, Qin Chuan can naturally hand over the right to adapt it.At least with Chen Yuwei paying attention all the time, she will be more at ease than other places.

"Xiao Qin, don't worry. No matter how high the price is from the outside world, Haichuan Media will definitely have better conditions than the outside world and will not let you suffer."

Lu Manqing never thought of harming Qin Chuan's interests to help the company repay the favor.

What's more, this may not be repaid, but it will make people feel more and more owed.

Most of the current TV drama market consists of sweet and crooked stories watched by young people, and there are fewer and fewer serious large-scale productions.

Because of the long filming cycle of historical dramas, slow payment returns, and unpredictable audience tastes, maybe no TV station is willing to buy them after hard work, and they can only sell them to video websites at a low price.

Most film and television companies would rather buy the IP of some romance novels, which offer low risk and high returns and quick cash out.

As a result, the film and television industry has become more impetuous, and the price of book adaptations for girls has skyrocketed. Many film and television companies even squat in Lujiang directly, and once they find a suitable work, they will buy it, even if it is Danmei.

Women are an important audience in the TV drama market. If it can capture female audiences, this TV drama will basically be a success!

But what about the male audience?

Never forget that there are still men in the world.

"Detective Di Renjie" is very suitable for men and even the whole family to watch together. If it can be shot in good quality, people will watch it.

High-quality dramas are not just lip service.

After dinner, Qin Chuan found a reason to write a book and went home. He was worried that if he sat down for a while, he would extend the contract with Kaishu Publishing Company for several years.

Fortunately, both Chen Yuwei and Lu Manqing knew about Qin Chuan's book writing on the Internet, so they didn't try to keep him, but took a walk together and sent him out of the community.

……

It's a coincidence that the daily evening peak hits like this.

Qin Chuan stared blankly at the sea of ​​red taillights in front of him, waiting for a traffic light for nearly 5 minutes.

He simply turned on the Bluetooth on his phone and asked the voice assistant to call his manager Shen Xu, intending to relay what had just happened.

"Brother Shen, are you still busy now?"

"I was about to leave work, but I was checked by you. Tell me, what's the matter?"

It's really rare for Shen Xu to get off work early. He works harder than 996. Basically, he doesn't rest for 365 days. He has to turn on his mobile phone 24 hours a day, fearing that something unexpected will happen.

Qin Chuan said: "Mr. Lu from Kaijuan Publishing Company told me something today. She said that the director Qian Qiu and the lead actor Liang Hua, who had filmed "War of Swords" before, planned to jointly develop the project "Detective Di Renjie". The overall planning will be handed over to Haichuan Media."

""Jiangjian Jianghu"? This is the TV series I watched when I was studying!" Shen Xu obviously knew these two people, and he was very pleasantly surprised: "Qian Qiu is an old man in the director circle. Last year "Jiangjian Jianghu" was broadcast. The twentieth anniversary will still be broadcast on national TV, and the leading actor Liang Hua in it is really printed out of the same mold as Di Renjie, the protagonist in your novel, with a big belly and a round face, and he squints his eyes when he smiles."

"Then are there other film and television companies coming to your door now?"

"You don't need to ask! When the title of your novel was announced, there were rich and powerful companies willing to buy it, and now more people are asking. It's just that after research, the company thinks that your book "Detective Di Renjie" has just been released, and word-of-mouth It hasn't spread yet, and its influence hasn't expanded significantly, so it's been delayed for the time being."

Qin Chuan knew this would happen. Many novels whose sales were not as good as Di Renjie's have sold copyrights. There was no way no one wanted them!
What's more, the novel itself was modified by Qin Chuan based on the content of the TV series. If we go back to the source, it is actually more suitable for filming TV series than other novels, which can save the screenwriter a lot of effort.

He restarted the engine, carefully moved the car a few meters forward and then stopped. Then he had time to chat with Shen Xu: "Then you are responsible for helping me contact Haichuan Media, you know."

"Be sure to choose Haichuan under the same conditions, right?"

"Actually, I have a small idea. If the team and the lead actor are really reliable, I don't think it is necessary to take the cash for the copyright fee, but to become the producer myself. What do you think?"

Qin Chuan didn't know what it was like to make a TV series of "Man Grows, Hates Water, Changdong", but he has watched "Detective Di Renjie". If he can check the TV series, he has a great possibility to replicate the success on the earth!

A film and television adaptation right is at most 1000 million Chinese dollars, but if it is used for investment, it may be able to get 10% of the investment ratio. When the TV series are released on various TV stations and sold overseas, perhaps 10% can earn 5000 million or more .

Knowing that this project will be successful, why be so conservative!

Even if you lose money, you can't lose much.

Shen Xu thought about the method Qin Chuan said, if he cooperated with other companies, he might be cheated.

But if Haichuan Media is in charge, at least its credibility is guaranteed. This company has a pretty good reputation in the industry, and it has hardly cheated investors.

Even if the invested film and television works lose money, there is still a detailed account to check, so as not to make a loss account when it is clearly a hit.

"This idea should be very good. They definitely want to push you to promote it. And the film and television adaptation fee must be saved as much as possible, so that Haichuan will not have too much pressure. Now Haichuan does not have much cash flow to use. I have found other small and medium investors in the market."

"Brother Shen, I will trouble you with this matter. If there is progress later, please let me know."

"This is my job, so don't worry about it. By the way, at nine o'clock tonight, Flame Films will announce the first trailer of "Erlang Shen Yang Jian", which will be released on major video sites and social media around the world. It’s better to retweet and support it on Weibo to create momentum for it.”

Qin Chuan waited for so long, and finally the film and television works adapted from the novel appeared, even if it was just a trailer!

He checked the time on the car, it was already ten past eight, he wondered if he could go home by nine o'clock, he had to watch something hot.
