Produce 14,000 episodes of TV series only 3,000 episodes per year to meet with the audience

Huairou Film and television base of a shooting scene recently, the State administration of Radio Haitao to the media, the 2010 China's domestic TV series production reached 14,000, for five years, the highest, stable in the world first. "The World first?" I'm afraid that's not a news story! Senior TV producer Xiao Wei (a pseudonym) said to reporters, "As far as I know, the production of Chinese TV dramas in the world as early as ten years ago is the first."　　"On the one hand, China produces 14,000 episodes a year, on the other hand, data show that only 3,000 TV sets can meet with the audience, the rest of the production is not able to get broadcast platform."　　Knowing that you may not be able to sow, why are there so many "rubbish" TV dramas on the horse? Xiao Wei revealed that in the entire production chain, the most vulnerable to loss is the most upstream and downstream. The upstream is those who do not lack money, amateurs nature of the investors, the most downstream are those who are very short of money, labor nature of the mass actors. TV production of the core of film companies, directors, writers, actors, have their own way of profit, they do not worry about whether the TV play out, there is a piece on the horse, there is profit, is not bad film, does not affect the proceeds.　　Since the most upstream investors do not care about losing money, the most downstream of the crowd of the single force solitary, then, the production of the core link will be no scruples, non-stop production of TV dramas, resulting in the rapid production of Chinese TV dramas. Tens of millions of amateurs "may be a real estate company than the whole film industry strong" Old Hou (a pseudonym) is a film company boss, the production of TV dramas is his main business. Recently, the old Hou is planning a 30-episode TV series, but he put into production the first step, is also the most anxious to get angry, not to find big director, footballing, but looking for investors. "Find the money first to go down." "The boss of a production company like Lao Hou is a lot in the drama circle," he said. "There are some big production companies in the circle who are going to make their own money, but we have a majority," he said.　　"said the old man.　　Who is investing in TV dramas? "What's there. "There are special to eat this bowl of rice, the opportunity to make money by investing in TV dramas." These people have their own relationships, contacts, they have a good sense of smell, look at the fish to cast nets. They have a unique vision and invest in TV dramas that generally don't miss. Moreover, these professional investors and television stations maintain a good relationship.　　Their film, with a stable broadcast platform, can successfully sell to meet with the audience, so that can achieve profitability. In addition to these professional investors, there are some "hot money" will also invest in TV dramas, and the trend of increasing.　　These "hot money" has property developers, there are "coal bosses", they hold a large number of "spare money", want to take advantage of the cultural industry in recent years, try a. Lao Hou said he had worked with a friend of the real estate business. The other party invested tens of millions of dollars, but the final TV show did not have a chance to broadcast, investment also hit the water drift son. But the friend did not mind, but with the old said, this time bad luck, the next opportunity to try again. "People really don't care about the 10 million, really like playingTickets. He said something that impresses me very much--what is the total output of the Chinese film and television industry in one year? Maybe a real estate company is better than the whole film and television industry. "2010, the first Chinese film box-office breakthrough billion." It is understood that the TV industry is not as transparent as the movie box office statistics, but only a small amount of output. And real estate?　　2010, Vanke A company's sales have broken hundreds of billions of dollars. In addition to these "hot money", the third type of investor is the local government. The Tangshan government invested heavily in the film "The Aftershock of the earthquake". This kind of government money, in the television industry also exists. March 2, "Tianjin Daily" reported that just turned on the large-scale TV series "Yangliuqing", is by the Tianjin Xiqing District yangliuqing Government and China International Television Corporation in the video production company jointly produced.　　March 4, "Weifang News Network" reported, just turned on the TV series "New Year Pictures" by the Weifang Municipal Party committee propaganda Department, Hanting District Committee District government, Qingdao far-reaching modern Culture Development Co., Ltd. joint filming. It is revealed that local government investment in TV dramas, mostly to promote local culture, development tourism for the purpose. "In fact, the equivalent of a full-length advertising film, and the effect is certainly better than the advertising film."　　"said the old man.　　Low risk platform More "can broadcast half back to the" old Hou's company is not big, 30 episodes of TV series has been a big production, he expected the preparatory period of at least two years. Xiao Wei's experience than old Hou Rich, he said: "TV dramas, large production and small production have their own way of survival." Maybe the benefits aren't big, but it's a lot smaller than the risk of making a movie. "There are about 2,500 film and television production companies in China, previously reported to be earning only more than 10." But Wei disagreed with such views, "I understand that the normal operation of the company at least half." Some small companies into the circle, only to do a film, did not succeed on the exit, the situation of course there is. But many companies actually run well. "There are large companies, specializing in large-scale production, the benefits are also high." "For example, investment in the creation of the new three" pony Pentium. The new "Three Kingdoms" investment of more than 100 million, but including a round and two rounds of all the TV play, the total sales price of each episode is 2.67 million. Although there is no film as transparent as the box office, but the new "Three Kingdoms" revenue must be billions. "Small companies, good at doing characteristic marketing." Some specialize in making costume films, some specialize in sitcoms, and some specialize in video clips for some TV programs. Little Wei said, some very small companies, but very good, because they have expertise, there are fixed buyers. "We usually watch some of the legal programs, emotional programs, will be interrupted by some skits." These skits are made by small companies with little investment, but with a fixed income. "Xiao Wei revealed that the TV drama's profit ratio is about 30%, investment 10 million, can earn 3 million." Such a ratio cannot be compared with the film, "a lot of film blockbuster profits are several times the cost."　But there are also a lot of movies, earning very little, and even lose the money.　"The TV industry is relatively stable, earning less than the film and losing too much," he said. "Because most of the TV dramas are smaller than movies, studios can also launch multiple dramas at the same time," he said. "Although there are a lot of TV dramas that can't be played out, a company can keep it running every year if it broadcasts half of its production," he said. With the development of the network media, the TV play's broadcasting platform is richer than the original.　　TV dramas, which cannot be aired on television, will turn to Internet models, making it easier for them to recoup their costs.　　More Gan more money "general familiar face, every paycheck has tens of thousands of yuan" as consumers, the most well-known TV drama workers are directors, actors and writers, they are actually the core of the production of TV dramas, the quality of the TV play depends mainly on their quality. Compared with investors and film companies, they have less risk and more stable income in the production of TV dramas. "In foreign countries, TV drama actors ' salaries and film actors can not be compared, but in China is not the same."　　Xiao Wei said. Film actors, such as Jet Li, Tony Leung, Andy Lau, such as Super-class superstar, more than tens of millions of salaries.　　And like Chen, Zhou Xun, such as the mainland front-line, the fee is 4 million or 5 million.　　But TV actor, Chen, Zhiwen, Wenli such, a TV series is 200,000, a series of 40 episodes, is 8 million of income, than most film actors earn more. Of course, not all TV drama actors can get Wenli such a high salary, but, "the general ' ripe face ', each episode of the pay is tens of thousands of yuan." According to the disclosure, the director's salaries and well-known actors, such as Zhaobaogang, Gauchich such a gold-plated, even more than the Wenli such well-known actors.　　Writers have not been valued, but now well-known writers are also close to 100,000 yuan per episode. "The average actor, director, a maximum of two plays a year, but those supporting actors, can be a few more."　　Little Wei said, the general supporting role, a 40 episodes, perhaps only in the 20 episodes, earn less, but they can turn four or five a year, so calculate down, also a lot of earn. Moreover, Xiao Wei said, many well-known actors, have not entered the cast to get a lot of money. "For example, 433 split, before the start of the shooting can get 40%, take half 30%, take 30%." So the risk is very low, even if these films can not be television, does not affect the actor's income. For the actors, directors, and writers, when the film is filmed, it has already made a profit. So in fact, it makes sense to know that you can pick up a couple of plays a year, rather than having several plays on TV a year. "Dialogue with the film and television workers" I've done four or five plays, but I've never seen myself on TV. "Investors don't care about investing in water and drift, and studios can make money with half the output, and the income of famous directors, actors and writers doesn't have much to do with TV dramas.　　In China's huge TV series industry chain, it seems that everyone does not suffer. But rememberIn the Huairou film and television base field interview found that here, such as "Film and television workers" as a large number of mass actors, but is China's annual number of millions of TV drama industry in the victims.　　Last week, the reporter came to Huairou film and television base of the "Starlight Town", the small town entrance red welcome banners show that there are many TV dramas are shooting.　　In the space of a costume drama, the reporter intends to find a few veteran mass actors to chat, but the overwhelming majority of the masses are very resistant. "The little Liuxiao in his early 20 said to the Reporter:" You can not find, here almost all new people.　　"While having lunch, Xiao Liu has a lunch box detailing the most downstream labor life in the TV series," he said. Liu says most of them are recruiting information they see online. Hiring people are not the crew, but the nature of the contractor.　　First to the cast, Xiao Liu they are the contractor's monthly salary of 3,000 of the commitment, but at the same time need to pay more than 1000 pieces of food and lodging fees, clothing costs, introduction fees. After paying these fees, Xiao Liu was pulled to Huairou film and television base near the farmhouse residence, here is like a crowd of actors in the collective dormitory. We eat and live with each other every day. But a few scenes filmed, the contractor has never mentioned the salary. Because there is no standard contract constraint, Xiao Liu can not seek legal help.　　After several times to find a contractor for salary, Xiao Liu intends to leave the cast as soon as possible. "The extras are very quick, because most people don't get much money and they leave." But soon, the contractor can ' cheat ' to fill in the blanks.　　Xiao Liu said that he had dreamed, one day can copy Baoqiang's fame, but he now feel that such a dream "harm" himself. "I've been a mass actor for half a year, and I've done four or five plays, but I've never seen myself on TV, not even a shadow," he said. Money is not earned. The TV industry is booming again, it has nothing to do with me.　　According to Little Wei, this so-called "contractor" in fact, the original is also more than the early mass actors, they have a certain network, specifically for the cast to find people everywhere. There are tens of thousands of "Xiao Liu" in the production behind the number of episodes each year.　　Their cheap labor resources cut costs for many of the cast, but they are not rewarded.
