On a certain day in March, the person in charge of the video platform of the goose factory came to the production team to look for Guan ShaoZeng and Luo Shao.
This was also the goose factory that they had contacted previously. Their TV series wanted to cooperate with the goose factory.
"Let's find a place to discuss." Guan Shaozheng indicated that he wanted to find a room to talk in secret.
Luo Shao and the person in charge of the video platform left together.
The three of them sat down in a private room in a nearby restaurant.
"Mr. Guan, this is the well-known child star Luo Shao, right?!”
"Hello, I'm Li Zheng, the person in charge of the Goose Factory's video platform.”
Luo Shao shook Li Zheng's outstretched hand.
"Luo Shao is the main person in charge of this collaboration.”
"He wrote the script for the TV series 'Douluo.”Guan Shaozheng introduced them to Li Zheng.
"What?" Li Zheng was very surprised to find out that Luo Shao had written the script.
"Not only that, you know about the movie 'Inception' that Director Xu Ke is currently filming, right?!”
"I know. Didn't you invest 500 million to produce the sci-fi film?”
"Invite Liu Dehua, Xie Tingfeng, Yang Mi, and the other co-stars.”
As Li Zheng spoke, he also looked at Luo Shao. Could it be…
"That's right, the screenwriter of Aisin Gioro is Luo Shao himself.”
"Oh my god." Li Zheng was even more shocked when he found out about this.
Luo Shao didn't waste any time and said,"This meeting with President Li is of course to cooperate."”
Even though Douluo's TV series only had thirty-five episodes, the plot was until the end of the Spirit Fighting Competition.
It just so happened to expose Xiao Wu as a spirit beast, and finally Tang San's father domineeringly came to the rescue.
After rescuing them, little San and Xiao Wu separated, and it would be several years before they could reunite.
For the entire TV series, the average special effects budget was 5 million yuan per episode, and 175 million yuan was spent on special effects.
In 2011, with 175 million yuan in special effects funding, the quality and level of the special effects produced would definitely be more realistic, shocking, and dazzling than the special effects produced ten years later with an investment of 400 million yuan.
In the entire TV series, other than the special effects budget, the actors 'pay was actually not much. Instead, it was the production team's expenses, as well as the manpower and material resources consumed during filming. In total, the total investment for this movie was exactly 200 million yuan.
Luo Shao's idea was that this TV series would not be broadcast on the TV station, but on the Internet.
The reason why he chose to broadcast the online drama was naturally to reduce the review time.
This was because if Douluo was to be broadcast on television, it would face three difficulties.
The first was the age of the TV series, because the main characters in the series were all around 14 to 16 years old. If it was broadcast on Star Media, Media D would probably not agree. They were afraid that this kind of TV series would affect underage children.
The second was to hand it over to Guangdong for review, and many things in it might be deleted.
The third was to review the time and process. They would need to go through an audit before they could get the license from Guang D. At that time, they would also need to bid for the broadcast rights from the television station.
It was these three difficult problems that made Luo Shao decide to broadcast this drama on the internet.
There were many advantages to choosing to broadcast a web drama.
First of all, there was no need to delete the content. The broadcast of the online drama did not need to pass the review of Guangdong D. It only needed the review of the video website.
Another point was that if the web drama was broadcast, it could be filmed and broadcast at the same time.
In Zhongguo, many TV dramas were filmed and produced, but they still needed to be reviewed. The fastest ones would take half a year to complete, and Xianxia and Fantasy would take even longer, so they couldn't shoot and broadcast at the same time.
However, if it was a web drama, it could be filmed and broadcast at the same time.
However, there was one thing that needed the post-production team to keep up.
Moreover, if the web series was broadcasted while filming, it could only broadcast about four episodes per week and not more.
Otherwise, the post-production team would not be able to keep up with the broadcast speed.
"Your attempt is very good, but the premise is that the special effects team you found for your movie can keep up with the broadcast speed?”
"According to what you said, if we broadcast four episodes a week, you still have to do such good special effects in the post-production.”
"Can the guild guarantee that?" Li Zheng understood Luo Shao's intentions.
"There's no problem at the moment."
The TV series was filmed and edited at the same time, so the special effects would definitely not be a problem.
Moreover, there was no need to find dubbing. This was because when the TV series was filmed, they would use the same voice. There was no need to find dubbing in the later stages. This was a good point.
"If that's the case, you plan to broadcast this drama on our platform.”
"Then, what do you plan to do about the copyright fees for the exclusive online broadcast?”This was also what Li Zheng valued the most.
Luo Shao knew that he would definitely care about this. After all, he was a businessman.
"I can guarantee you that this fantasy drama has the best special effects so far.”
"Although the previous Legend of the Sword and Fairy series was very good, the special effects were also very bad.”
"It's all because of Hu Ge, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, and the plot. There are almost no special effects.”
"Therefore, my 'Douluo' is mainly focused on visual effects. I can guarantee that there won't be any problems in this aspect.”
This was also Luo Shao's confidence. He wanted to broadcast it this morning to see the market's feedback.
The main reason was that the popularity of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3, which had been broadcasted in 2009, had yet to drop.
If Douluo was released at this time, it would definitely be popular with such gorgeous and stunning visual effects.
"How about this? Your investment is 5 million per episode. How about we give it a try first?”
"For the four episodes in the first week, I'll get your exclusive online platform broadcasting rights for 5 million per episode. At least you won't lose money this way.”
"Looking at the views of the first four episodes, if the views are high, the reviews are high, and the popularity is not a problem.”
"Then, we'll raise the price for the rest. How about that?”
"After all, you're also filming and broadcasting at the same time.”
Li Zheng also gave his suggestion to see what Luo Shao thought.
This was what he thought. Luo Shao was so young, yet he dared to invest 200 million to produce such a drama.
Li Zheng also wanted to tear off the label of a domestic Xianxia drama that had special effects that cost 50 cents and couldn't be sold overseas.
Therefore, he could not let Luo Shao suffer a loss.
The production cost of one episode was already 5 million. If the price was lower than this, it would seem that he was not sincere.
However, he didn't dare to take the risk. He couldn't give too high a copyright.
If the price was too high, the platform would suffer losses if the work was not accepted when it was released on the platform.
"Deal." After some thought, Luo Shao agreed to Li Zheng's suggestion.
"Xianxia dramas are different from fantasy dramas. I'm also aiming to make a fantasy drama even if it doesn't make money.”This was also Luo Shao's ambition.
At his age, he was only suitable to act in this kind of fantasy drama.，
Most of the male leads in fantasy dramas were around 14 or 15 years old when they first appeared, which was the perfect age for him to play the role. At the same time, if the online drama was filmed and broadcasted at the same time, it could greatly save the post-production cycle.
