Chapter 445 Negotiations with Zhejiang TV Station (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

Bafang Investment also rented an office in Xiangjiang as his own office space. After Cai Songlin returned to Bafang Investment, he saw Wang Yingxiang sitting there with a sinking face.

"what happened?"

"Yongsheng rejected our proposal!" Wang Yingxiang sat on the sofa with an obvious dissatisfaction expression on his face.

"In the past, Yongsheng was very interested in this proposal. After all, the stock price of Debao Mansion has been soaring all the way. However, with Fengge Theater Line taking over Debao Mansion, Yongsheng is worried about repeating the same path as Debao Mansion. So reject our proposal!"

Cai Songlin's face darkened, "It seems that we are going to step up the acquisition of the shares of Debao Mansion!" Then he glanced at Wang Yingxiang and asked, "What is the stock price of Debao Mansion now?"

A total of 3.5 million shares were sold at the time of listing of Debao Haoting, and the price was [-] Hong Kong dollars per share. However, with a series of operations of Debao Haoting, the stock price has already changed.

"5.13 Hong Kong dollars per share." Wang Yingxiang said.

"Immediately let our people buy the shares of Debao Mansion in the market, and at the same time contact those small shareholders to see if they can buy the shares in their hands. Since Fengge Entertainment wants to take charge of Debao Mansion, let them take charge of it. , but we must improve our voice and let Fengge Entertainment help us earn money." Cai Songlin said.

This is actually what Cai Songlin and others had planned long ago, but at that time they did not expect that Pan Disheng would become a traitor and sell his shares to Fengge Entertainment. Their plan at that time was to let those three people rush In the front, they will buy the shares of Debao Mansion after Debao Mansion is completely stabilized.

It's just that the team of those three people has long since disintegrated, and now because of Fengge Entertainment's series of operations, even those two people can't believe it, so now Cai Songlin wants to increase the shares of Debao Haoting, you Fengge Isn't entertainment awesome? Isn't it that we are not allowed to join in and get a share?
Well now, you have collected enough of Debao Mansion, so you must develop Debao Mansion well, then you will have me among you, I want to see how you leave us alone!

This is Cai Songlin's idea.

Wang Yingxiang thought for a while and said, "Okay. Actually, I said at the beginning that we should invest more. It's only tens of millions. We can still get it out. Now that it's better, we need to spend more."

Cai Songlin explained: "At that time, we didn't know that entertainment stocks could have such an effect. We were just being careful. Now I want to see how Wu Jianye responds!"

Wang Yingxiang smiled and said: "How else can we deal with it? The dumb man can't tell if he suffers from eating Coptis chinensis. He thinks that he can deal with us by becoming the largest shareholder of Debao Haoting? As long as we continue to hold Debaohao If the family shares, he has to work for us."

Cai Songlin nodded, agreeing with Wang Yingxiang's words.

In the days that followed, nothing happened to Debao Mansion, and everyone thought that Debao Mansion was slowly returning to normal.

However, there is still one thing that makes everyone curious, that is, after Fengge Entertainment entered Debao Mansion, the box office of "Royal Senior Sister" has fallen off a cliff.

In the past, Pan Disheng and others could boost the box office of "Sister Royal" for the sake of Debao Mansion's stock price, but now that Fengge Entertainment is in charge of Debao Mansion, it is naturally impossible to do such a worthless thing. .

This also caused the box office of "Sister Royal" to decline all the way.

Moreover, Golden Princess Cinemas and Golden Harvest Cinemas, seeing that "The Royal Senior Sister" has no box office potential, have also chosen to reduce the number of theaters where "The Royal Senior Sister" is screened, and change to their own companies or other small and medium-sized companies' films.

The opposite is "God of Gamblers". The box office of "God of Gamblers" is still as stable as a dog. Now everyone wants to see if "God of Gamblers" can break the box office record of Xiangjiang movies.

At this time in the country!
Wu Jianye also brought "New Dragon Inn" to Lin'an!

There is also a manager in charge of distribution of China Film Group, and there are so many managers nowadays, if someone does not add the title of manager to their title, they are embarrassed to come out and say hello.

Therefore, the authority of the distribution manager in China Film Group can actually be ignored.

As for why they brought a distribution manager from China Film Group, one is that although China Film Group had already allowed Tangting Culture to contact the distribution company by itself.

But to be honest, it is not so easy for Tangting Culture to get this privilege. Although the current domestic policy has allowed the studio to contact the distribution company itself, Tangting Culture is a private company after all, not to mention that there is no real private company now. Turn over.

At least because of next year's sake, private companies will still take some hits.

For this right, Tangting Culture allowed China Film Group to invest in "New Dragon Inn". China Film Group came forward and applied for it in person. Tangting Culture obtained a pilot result. This is because Wu Jianye registered somewhere in the high-level. If it wasn't the case, other cultural companies simply wouldn't allow it.

The only choice is to cooperate with the studio and then follow the studio's distribution route.

"Manager Yu, I'm sorry to trouble you this time!"

After arriving in Lin'an, Wu Jianye and others first came to the hotel where they lived. After settling in the hotel, they talked to Yu Fei, the distribution manager of China Film Group.

After Yu Fei received this task, he received instructions from Liu Jianshe. This time they are here to assist Tangting Culture, and they must not show their so-called official airs.

At the same time, Yu Fei followed Wu Jianye all the way to Lin'an, only then did he realize what it means to be rich and powerful. They first arrived in Shanghai directly by plane, and then a special car picked them up at the airport after getting off the plane, and then drove to Lin'an, where they lived again. It is the best hotel in Lin'an.

Yao recalled that when he was on a business trip back then, it wasn't that bitter haha.

"Director Wu is polite. Your company has already contacted distribution companies in various places before. We came here this time, just to stand up for Director Wu." Yu Fei laughed.

"Manager Yu, I would like to trouble you to stay in the hotel for two more days this time. Our company has a TV series that we want to cooperate with Lin'an TV Station and Zhejiang Provincial TV Station, so I have to discuss cooperation with these two TV stations in the next two days. .”

After listening to Wu Jianye's words, Yu Fei felt a burst of envy again. It can be said that Tangting Culture's name is known to everyone in Yanjing. The TV series produced in a year are almost catching up with that of a TV station. There is also the film work of the great director Wu Jianye, which is even more enviable. Although no one knows how much money Tangting Culture earns, no one doubts that in this era of bad environment, Tangting Culture's profit definitely exceeds that of Da Ting Culture. Some studios.

"This is what it should be. Don't worry, Director Wu. Everything on my side is subject to Director Wu!"

"By the way, I left a car and a driver for Manager Yu. If Manager Yu wants to go out for a stroll, he can just find the driver. When he comes to Lin'an, he should also bring some Lin'an specialties for his children. All these things can be left to the driver!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Yu Fei hurriedly said, "How can you be so embarrassing?"

Wu Jianye waved his hand and said with a smile: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Senior Brother Liu told me that Manager Yu was his right-hand man when he came out before, so we are no longer outsiders. Manager Yu must not Don't be too polite!"

After some evasions, Yu Fei had no choice but to 'reluctantly' accept Wu Jianye's kindness!
Zhong'an Bridge, the former "Zhejiang Daily" building!
Zhejiang Provincial Television Station moved here from Putisi Road Provincial Television Station in 1973.

Wu Jianye and Li Xiaowan had already contacted Zhejiang Provincial TV Station before they came, so after arriving at Zhejiang Provincial TV Station, they were immediately taken to the office of Director Gu of Zhejiang Provincial TV Station.

After exchanging pleasantries between the two parties, Wu Jianye mentioned the purpose of coming this time, and Director Gu became very interested when he heard that Wu Jianye, a major domestic film director, wanted to direct a TV series.

"The TV series produced by Tangting Culture this time is actually a mythological drama based on the traditional fairy tale "The Complete Legend of the White Snake" that happened in Lin'an. I still hope that your station can help us a lot!"

Director Gu smiled and said, "The love between Director Wu and Zhu Yan is really enviable. I never thought that Director Wu would personally direct a TV series for him."

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Actually, this plan has been in place for a long time. When I came to Lin'an for tourism and went to West Lake, I had the idea of ​​filming this TV series."

Director Gu smiled and said, "I don't know how much Tangting Culture plans to invest in this TV series this time?"

Wu Jianye: "It should be around 500 million, but most of the investment is in the special effects of TV dramas."

Wu Jianye didn't know how much the Wanwan version of "Legend of the New White Snake" cost. The salary of domestic actors is not high. If the relationship between Zhu Juan and Wu Jianye is not included, the salary is about 300 yuan per episode.

The film length of this TV series is 50 episodes, that is, the salary of Zhu Zhuo's entire TV series is [-] yuan, which is naturally incomparable with the tens of millions of film salaries of later generations.

There are three main actors in this show, plus various other supporting roles, the total salary is only about a few hundred thousand, and more investment is in logistics and special effects.

Although some machines can use "Journey to the West", some scenes still need special machines to be able to shoot, so the investment of 500 million is not too much.

After listening to it, Mr. Gu sighed a lot. Everyone said that Tangting Culture is rich, but that was just what others said. When he saw it himself, he still couldn't help but lament the wealth of Tangting Culture.

"Can the cost be recovered?" Director Gu couldn't help asking. At this time, domestic TV dramas are sold every minute. It is difficult to recover the cost of a TV drama with an investment of 500 million in China.

Previously, CCTV's popular "Desire" invested only 100 million yuan and did not recover the cost. Although the current 500 million "Legend of the White Snake" is twice as long as "Desire" (the length of each episode of "Desire" It takes about 20 minutes), but the investment is five times more!

Wu Jianye explained: "The domestic market will definitely not be able to recover the cost, but this TV series has already been negotiated with Xiangjiang's ATV. At that time, if the acquisition of the broadcasting rights of ATV and Southeast Asian TV stations is added, it should be able to recover. This is it!"

Regarding this point, Wu Jianye did not hide it, he just wanted to tell TV stations across the country that as long as they produce excellent TV series, they don't have to worry about not making money.

And Tangting Culture wants to be ahead of the whole country, let them see what kind of TV series can make money, and bring them huge influence. Only in this way can the development of domestic TV series be accelerated.

Director Gu praised: "I have always heard that Director Wu has a very close relationship with Xiangjiang, but now I know what it means to be famous rather than meet."

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Director Gu, there is actually a way to increase your income!"

Director Gu's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Does Director Wu have any good suggestions?"

Wu Jianye: "Ad revenue!"

Then Wu Jianye began to explain to Director Gu how TV stations can make money from influential TV dramas, such as starting to broadcast advertisements at the beginning of TV dramas.
In this day and age, broadcasting TV dramas is broadcasting TV dramas. Unlike later generations, the duration of commercials is longer than the content of TV dramas. Moreover, TV stations are still very conscientious at this time. Playing TV dramas is broadcasting TV dramas, and there are not so many advertisements.

And what Wu Jianye proposed now is to insert advertisements in the opening titles of TV dramas.

"Master Gu, your station can completely invite bids from companies across the province for the advertisements during this period."

"Is this possible?" Director Gu asked with some doubts.

Don’t think that the advertising effect of this era is so good, and think that the TV station only cares about how high the advertising fee is. When CCTV launched the advertising standard in the 90s, everyone doubted whether it would be successful at that time. , it wasn't until after the first Biaowang was sold out that TV stations across the country saw the real power of advertising fees.
So the plan proposed by Wu Jianye now is definitely ahead of its time.

"Try it and you'll know?" Wu Jianye said, "If you have this idea, I can help you contact Jinxiu Garment. They have some plans in Zhejiang Province recently."

Director Gu immediately showed an excited expression: "Director Wu knows the person who makes Jinxiu Garments?"

Wu Jianye nodded: "Well, there is some connection. When I was filming "Under the Bridge" in Shanghai, I had some connections with Mr. Ding from Splendid Clothing. I think they will be very interested in inserting commercials in your station. !"

Director Gu immediately shook Wu Jianye's hand and said, "Then I am very grateful to Director Wu!"

Wu Jianye hurriedly said politely: "Everyone is just helping each other, Mr. Gu is polite!"

The rest of the matter is much simpler. With Jinxiu Garment joining in, there is no hindrance to the broadcasting of "Legend of the New White Snake" by Zhejiang Provincial TV Station!
