392: Chapter 392 A young, domineering CEO falls in love with a 33-year-old single mother with a daughter!

"Hmm!"

"If the funding is sufficient, the subject matter is safe and easily passes censorship, we don't have to wait for star actors' schedules, there are no complex special effects, and there are enough employees, then low-budget movies and TV series can be made quite quickly. Urban web dramas and short dramas are basically no problem!"

"Then hire more employees, hire more experienced employees!" Su Yang picked up a script and said, "You can pay them relatively high salaries by industry standards!"

"Maintaining a professional team is quite expensive!"

"I'm not afraid of spending money; I'm afraid of not having people who can get things done!" Su Yang said with a serious tone. "Consider expanding the staff at Linyi Film and Television to one hundred people first."

"Wouldn't that be too many?"

"Money is not the issue, talent is!" Su Yang emphasized. "As long as they are talented, I want them all!"

Lin Yi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, boss!"

"By the way, what's the situation with domestic dramas right now?" Su Yang asked curiously. "What are the salaries for those first and second-tier stars? Tens of millions per drama?"

Lin Yi secretly complained that her boss was a film and television novice, but she explained calmly:

"It's considered good now. Before the salary cap, their pay could exceed one hundred million, but those were top-tier traffic stars!"

"Hmm!"

"When we shoot TV series, we can hire actors with good popularity and relatively high cost-effectiveness!"

"..."

After Lin Yi left, Su Yang began to open a script titled "to the us of those years".

He took a simple look at the general story.

It was a relatively cliché youth campus drama about growing up.

However, he had to admit that this kind of story was indeed relatively low-difficulty to shoot.

He looked at the male lead, who was confirmed to be Tang Ximing, and the female lead, Chen Keying.

Of course, there were other backups, and some slightly well-known second-tier stars were also within the range of choices.

However, this would greatly increase the production cost of the TV series.

Su Yang used a bit of Business Deduction and found that this drama had an investment of over ten million, could finish filming within three months, and could be sold to Tengxun Video within eight months.

The reputation was actually quite good, and in the end, it was broadcast on satellite TV and bought by Blueberry TV!

It could probably make Linyi Film and Television a few million.

Of course, the revenue would definitely not stop there.

Promoting Tang Ximing and Chen Keying and increasing their popularity could also bring a lot of income to the company.

Su Yang tried replacing Chen Keying with a second-tier female star, which increased the TV series production cost by twenty million.

Recently, he had been brushing up on his entertainment industry knowledge.

At least he could match the names of female stars to their faces!

After finding this second-tier female star, the heat of the TV series was relatively high, the selling price was also relatively high, and it was directly bought by Mango TV, and then the copyright was sold to Tengxun Video... It turned out that the company lost a few million.

Moreover, the reputation of the TV series was actually not very good, and the acting skills of this young second-tier female star were criticized severely!

This was truly hard to bear!

Su Yang tried looking at the director choices again. The director was the company's own signed director, Xu Qian. As a result, after changing to a few slightly more famous directors, none of them performed as well as Xu Qian.

There was one director who shot it with a better reputation than Xu Qian, but he was too slow, which increased the production cost by one-third.

Xu Qian actually had some ability in his hands and was also proficient in campus drama shooting work!

Su Yang put "to the us of those years" aside as a backup and devoted himself to other script projects.

After spending an entire morning slowly finishing the projects of Linyi Film and Television, Su Yang was more or less disappointed!

The other dozen or so projects were almost all trash and money-losers.

Some plots even caused him extremely serious mental damage.

Lin Yi must have put the most promising projects at the top!

Finally, there was a lawyer workplace theme he was quite interested in, but the female lead was always dating.

He always felt that the female lead was very willful... always causing trouble for the law firm and the male lead!

There was also an overbearing CEO themed script that left a deep impression on Su Yang.

A twenty-five-year-old second-generation overbearing CEO falls in love with a thirty-three-year-old divorced single mother with a daughter.

For this, the overbearing CEO even tore up his engagement with his twenty-two-year-old beautiful fiancée.

He rejected the youthful, sweet, and capable female secretary who had been secretly in love with him...

He didn't even hesitate to break with his family, lose his inheritance rights and CEO position, and marry that single mother without looking back!

Subsequently, the CEO's father fell critically ill, the group company encountered a crisis, and the CEO's villainous younger brother was not up to the task, making one bad move after another!

The veterans of the group company welcomed the overbearing CEO back together!

The overbearing CEO finally turned the tide and saved the company.

In the end, the overbearing CEO's father woke up, finally recognized reality, forgave his eldest son, and let him inherit the company!

The overbearing CEO's villainous younger brother was also convinced!

The ending was the single mother getting pregnant and giving birth to a big, chubby boy for the overbearing CEO!

Su Yang didn't have any prejudice against single mothers, but could the screenwriter please give the overbearing CEO something good to eat!

Wuwuwu... As a twenty-five-year-old CEO himself, he had an extremely high sense of immersion in this story!

Could the screenwriter know him?

But it didn't seem so, this project must have been placed there for a long time!

What made Su Yang feel the most uncomfortable?

The plot logic was actually quite self-consistent; the overbearing CEO lost his mother at a young age and had an Oedipus complex.

The female lead's image was well-shaped, a strong, positive, and active female image.

What made him feel the most, most, most uncomfortable was... this project could actually be done, and it wouldn't lose money!

As long as you choose a top-tier beautiful, full-figured, first-tier female star with the charm of a young woman to play the female lead, and then find a cute and playful little girl to be the female lead's daughter, it wouldn't lose money!

It would also bring great topical heat within the country.

It would help Tang Ximing return to the ranks of second-tier actors and attract quite a few fans for him!

The actors who followed as supporting roles could also gain benefits and increase their popularity.

It would also bring greater influence and fame to Linyi Film and Television!

What to do?

Su Yang hesitated for a moment, but still put the script of "only you in the whole world" together with "to the us of those years".

As a businessman, he wouldn't go against money!

What he hated were brain-dead dramas, but if the plot logic could be self-consistent, he wasn't unable to accept it.

By the afternoon, Su Yang picked out the web drama "Youth Without Regrets".

"Youth Without Regrets" felt quite warm to Su Yang, although the plot was a bit plain.

It was still a campus drama, but there was no preaching, no puppy love, and no abortion, but the storytelling was very good.

They could cooperate with Tengxun Video; they would be interested!

For the rest, Linyi Film and Television didn't have any other projects that could satisfy Su Yang.

Other film and television companies and platforms had three good TV and web dramas that could make some money, which Linyi Film and Television could go and discuss.

But if it couldn't help his signed artists get important roles, there was no need to invest.

It didn't earn much, and it couldn't cultivate his own company's signed artists, so there was no need to occupy too much of his capital!

With his golden finger, Su Yang's capital turnover rate was extremely high.

As long as he bought a decent company, he could get the returns from employee salary rebates in the second month!

Therefore, it was impossible for him to invest a large amount of capital into the film and television industry, which had a long payback cycle and not many employees.

This was not in his interest!

The Spark Entertainment culture and media group to be established in the future, in Su Yang's mind, was mainly positioned to do propaganda, live streaming, endorsements, promotion, public relations, and other work for his other companies.

Thinking about those stars' annual endorsements of tens of millions, thinking about many companies' annual marketing expenses of hundreds of millions, over a billion, or several billion, he felt that it was necessary for him to intercept as much of this money as possible!
