This star is wrong

Chapter 340 "The Pretender" is broadcasting on two channels, scheduled for summer

When talking about the broadcast plan of "The Pretender", Wei Shurong, the deputy director of Donghai Satellite TV, and the director of the editor-in-chief of Xiangjiang Satellite TV successively invited them to dinner.

He Hao, the head host of Xiangjiang Satellite TV, also called and chatted, hoping that "The Pretender" could be broadcast on Xiangjiang Satellite TV.

Moreover, as long as "The Pretender" is broadcast on Xiangjiang Satellite TV, a series of variety shows and programs on Xiangjiang Satellite TV will give the green light to the promotion of "The Pretender".

From the warm-up in the early stage, all the way to promote to the end of the TV series.

On Donghai Satellite TV's side, Fang Xing couldn't refuse due to his relationship with Ningyun Cultural Industry Park.

Besides.

The selection directors of Kyoto Satellite TV and Jiangnan Satellite TV also talked to Fang Xing, and they also hoped to broadcast "The Pretender".

but.

These TV stations also have other options.

"Mr. Fang, the spy war drama to be broadcast is not limited to "The Pretender". We have also cooperated with Tianlong Film and Television and Reed Film and Television. Our TV station is responsible for "The Pretender", "Invisible Intelligence" and "The Pretender". The ratings of "Unsung Heroes" are all S rank..."

The director of the film selection department of Jiangnan Satellite TV began to use negotiating skills to bring out the competitors of "The Pretender", and wanted to put some pressure on Fang Xing to facilitate cooperation:

"Actually, we broadcast all the episodes. The price of 210 million yuan per episode is already the greatest sincerity. "Invisible Spy" is only at this price. Personally, I prefer the TV series produced by Mr. Fang.

"So, I am more inclined to broadcast "The Pretender" exclusively, and it must be finalized within three days. Red Film and Television has already agreed and will reply within three days.

"If you don't agree, then our station will broadcast "Invisible Intelligence" during the summer vacation, so Mr. Fang must act quickly."

It is actually no secret to the insiders that the TV station chooses TV series.

Fang Ruide Film and Television, the producer of "Invisible Intelligence", is not only discussing with Jiangnan Satellite TV, but also with Donghai Satellite TV and Xiangjiang Satellite TV.

Although both Donghai Satellite TV and Xiangjiang Satellite TV are very positive about "The Pretender", they will not put their eggs in the same basket.

If they can't get "The Pretender" in the end, they will definitely turn around and grab "Invisible Spy" immediately.

Or in other words, they couldn't get "Invisible Spy", and then went all out to grab "The Pretender".

The ratings of the three spy war dramas on the TV station are all S-level. Judging from the data performance, there is actually not much difference.

Which TV series to buy first depends mainly on the preferences of the TV station leaders.

……

It's not just TV stations pulling the plug.

Tianlong Film and Television and Ruide Film and Television are even more masters of pulling.

These two are established film and television companies, and behind them are capital holdings, and they want to maximize their profits when investing in TV dramas.

In particular, "Invisible Intelligence" has a total of 50 episodes, and the price of a single episode has already reached 230 million.

Even so, Red Film and Television still did not let go.

The reason for this is that "Invisible Intelligence" does have a relatively high investment.

With a total investment of 1.3 million yuan, if the price is low, the cost will not be recovered at all.

It's mid-May.

This year's A-level and B-level war-themed TV dramas are basically sold out, and the rest are the three most popular dramas, and there is no result yet.

After the TV series is finalized, there will be pre-publicity.

Fang Xing didn't continue to hold his breath with Ruide Films and Tianlong Films. On May 5th, he invited Wei Shurong, the deputy director of Donghai Satellite TV, and Jiang Minghe, the deputy director of Xiangjiang Satellite TV, to drink tea. He Hao, the head host of Xiangjiang Satellite TV, accompanied him.

After the politeness, Fang Xing got straight to the point and proposed a plan for the two David TVs to simulcast.

In fact.

Satellite TV itself doesn't like simulcasting.

Because the simulcast means that the audience will be diverted. If it can be broadcast independently, it is naturally the best.

Of course, if the price of this TV series is so high that one TV station can't afford it, then multiple TV stations will simulcast it.

As for the price of exclusive broadcasts, there is a watershed.

That is the price of 200 million for a single episode, which is a very delicate price.

Because the unit price is 200 million, if this TV series has 50 episodes, it means that the total purchase price of this TV series has reached 1 million.

This is a very astonishing price, already approaching the upper limit that big TV stations can afford.

If the quality of the series is good enough, the satellite TV station will buy it for 200 million episodes.

If the price goes up further, the TV station will consider multiple simulcasts.

"I'm not going around the corner. Two TV stations are broadcasting together, with a single episode of 110 million. And I guarantee that the progress of the webcast will not exceed that of the TV station. In fact, the two directors should also know that Penguin Video actually intends to have a website first, and the price is more attractive. But I still think spy dramas should be aired on the stars." Fang Xing's tone was very candid.

Wei Shurong felt the frankness in Fang Xing's words, but he thought that the young man in front of him was an actor and his acting skills were very good, so he instinctively blocked the frankness.

Of course, the plan of the two TV stations to simulcast is indeed not bad.

The price of a single episode is 110 million, and the combination of the two TV stations is 220 million.

The price is indeed very high, but each TV station only needs to pay half of the price, which is easy for both parties to accept.

Now "The Pretender" is not worried about selling, not only TV stations are competing, but video platforms are also competing.

And not only penguin videos, pea videos, and sweet potato videos are all competing.

The deputy directors of the two TV stations need to go back and study with the senior management of the station before making a decision.

However, judging from the degree of harmony in the negotiations, this cooperation is very promising.

……

After the talk, the deputy directors of the two TV stations immediately returned to the station for a meeting to study.

Fang Xing had just returned to the company, and within two hours, he received a call from Jiang Minghe, the deputy director of Xiangjiang Satellite TV:
"Fang Xing, we have done some research on the station. The two-channel simultaneous broadcast plan is acceptable, but there is an additional condition. Xiangguo Video needs to buy the right to broadcast online."

"This..." Fang Xing did not expect Xiangjiang Satellite TV to make such a request.

Xiangguo Video is a video platform solely owned by Xiangjiang Satellite TV.

On the video platform, Xiangguo Video relies on the program resources of Xiangjiang Satellite TV and has a very stable audience in the video industry.

Moreover, the TV series and variety show resources of Xiangjiang Satellite TV are basically broadcast exclusively by Xiangguo Video.

Therefore, if viewers want to watch Xiangjiang Satellite TV programs, they have only two options, either to watch Xiangjiang Satellite TV or to watch Xiangguo Video.

Fang Xing did not expect that Xiangguo Video would also want the webcast rights of "The Pretender".

Hearing Xiangjiang Satellite TV's request, Fang Xing replied after careful consideration: "I will try my best to facilitate the simultaneous broadcast of Xiangguo Video and Penguin Video. I can't guarantee what the final negotiation will be."

After hanging up the phone.

the next day.

Fang Xing personally talked with Li Xueying, vice president of Penguin Video, and proposed a plan for the simultaneous broadcast of Penguin Video and Xiangguo Video.

When Li Xueying heard this proposal, she sighed leisurely: "Actually, I thought of this possibility. Boss Fang is developing too fast, and it is no longer a video platform that can handle it."

When the TV series of a film and television company become popular, and all major TV stations and video platforms want to compete for it, it is no longer a video platform that can eat alone.

Li Xueying thought that it would be very difficult to solo broadcast, but she didn't expect that the competitor was not Wandou Video, but Xiangguo Video.

After several discussions.

After Xiangjiang Satellite TV confirmed that it could get the webcasting rights, it took the lead in signing the contract.

Xiangjiang Satellite TV signed a simulcast contract, and Donghai Satellite TV had to sign the contract quickly.

In the end, "The Pretender" was scheduled to be broadcast on June 6th, and it will be broadcast on Donghai Satellite TV and Xiangjiang Satellite TV, and Penguin Video and Xiangguo Video.

"The Pretender" also took the lead in opening the sky-high price contract for the hot summer drama at a price of 220 million yuan for a single episode.

original.

The competition among the three popular spy dramas is fierce, but once a TV series is the first to sign a contract, the situation will change dramatically.

Accelerated the negotiation of two other TV series.

Within a week after "The Pretender" was signed and finalized.

"Invisible Intelligence" and "Unsung Heroes" have also signed contracts one after another.

Among them, "Invisible Spy" signed the highest price for a single episode in the summer season, Kyoto Satellite TV, Jiangnan Satellite TV, two simulcasts, the price of a single episode is 240 million, 20 higher than "The Pretender".

According to the total price.

"The Pretender" has a total of 48 episodes, one episode is 220 million, and the total price is 1.056 million.

The total price of the first round of broadcast on the TV station exceeded [-] million, which is a very high price.

However, this is not the highest. The total number of episodes of "Invisible Intelligence" is 50 episodes, 240 million per episode, and the total price is 1.2 million. It has become the most expensive TV series in the summer.

The price of "Unsung Hero" is not low, and it is simulcast on four channels, with a total of 45 episodes and a single episode of 230 million. The total price is similar to "The Pretender".

However, the four TV stations that simulcast "Unsung Heroes" have an average annual audience rating of 8 in the country, so the effect of the simulcast of the four channels is not much different from that of the two simulcasts of Donghai Satellite TV and Xiangjiang Satellite TV.

……

After "The Pretender" was finalized, the crew began to cooperate with the TV station to promote it.

The most conventional method of publicity is to go on the show to promote new dramas.

Therefore, Fang Xing went to Xiangjiang Satellite TV to record Mr. He's program "Laughing Weekend".

Every time Fang Xing appeared on the show, He Hao's lines were always the same: "Today, an old friend of ours came again. Otherwise, don't leave when you come."

"Okay, which host is Mr. He going to ask me to replace?" Fang Xing smiled and looked at the hosts of "Laughing Weekend".

"Laughing Weekend" has a total of five hosts.

He Hao is the head host, and the others are the deputy hosts.

In the show, the host will play games with the guests.

"Laughing Weekend" has been broadcast for more than 20 years, and the host has also changed during the period.

Therefore, Fang Xing's words are a bit lethal.

The four deputy hosts all fell off their stools.

"Don't, don't, don't, Director Fang, don't come here." A deputy host hurriedly joked.

"I'm just kidding, how could I replace one of you?"

Fang Xing walked up to Teacher He with a smile, and continued, "Of course I'm replacing all of you and forming a new group with Teacher He."

While talking, Fang Xing and He Hao each raised a hand and compared their hearts together.

The four deputy hosts collectively spread out on the ground.

The audience at the scene laughed up and down.

"Then our combination is called the 'Square Box' combination." He Hao also added fire to make this meme bigger.

After joking.

Teacher He began to officially promote the upcoming new drama "The Pretender".

"Everyone saw that Fang woke up to record the show, and they must have guessed that there is another new work coming up. What work is it this time?"

The news about the finalization of "The Pretender" has been swiping the screen for many days on the Internet.

The audience at the scene knew it a long time ago, and answered loudly: "Pretender! Pretender!"

Teacher He answered with a smile: "That's right, when the show aired, Fang Xing's new drama "The Pretender" had already started. On June 6, everyone remember to stay in front of the TV and watch "The Pretender". I have a piece of news for everyone, this show is super good."

Followed by.

Teacher He began to interact with other members of the "Pretender" crew: "Yingxue, long time no see. You also participated in "Pretender" this time, right?"

Lin Yingxue hurriedly greeted the audience: "Hello everyone, I am Lin Yingxue, and I play 'Cheng Jinyun' in "The Pretender". I hope everyone likes it."

Teacher He continued: "As far as I know, 'Cheng Jinyun' is the heroine of "The Pretender."

He changed the subject, walked up to Lu Xiang'er, and asked, "Xiao Xiang, what should you do if Yingxue plays the leading role? Fang Xing is playing the leading role. Can you bear this tone?"

With a smile on the corner of Lu Xiang'er's mouth, she greeted: "Hi everyone, I'm Lu Xiang'er, and I play 'Yu Manli' in "The Pretender". Well... I am his partner in life and death in the play."

As she spoke, she pointed in Fang Xing's direction with her finger.

Teacher He didn't let go of the topic just now, and continued to ask: "But, in the play, Fang Xing and Yingxue are both married, aren't you angry?"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience who didn't know the plot suddenly became louder.

This kind of explosive gossip news is what people like to watch most. Even if it is just a character in the play, it still makes people's eyes shine.

Lu Xianger waved her hand and said generously, "Oh! It's just the plot on the screen, I don't care about it."

"A very arrogant look."

Teacher He made a joke, and then asked: "How did the crew arrange the casting? Why did Xiaoxiang play 'Yu Manli' and Yingxue played 'Cheng Jinyun'?"

Lu Xianger said modestly: "Actually, it was my problem. Yingxue let me play 'Yu Manli'."

"I see."

Teacher He nodded as if suddenly realized, and then went to introduce other members of the crew: "Let's meet a new friend, Teacher Liu Minxiu, we have collaborated on other programs before, but this is the first time to be on "Laughing Weekend", right? Come and say hello to the audience first."

Liu Minxiu nodded and replied: "Yes, hello audience friends, I am Liu Minxiu, and I play Fang Xing's eldest sister 'Mingjing' in "The Pretender."

Teacher He praised: "The elder sister 'Ming Jing' is very powerful in the play, she helps the underground party to deliver medicines, manages Ming's business, a group of Ming family's powerful figures outside, in front of the eldest sister 'Ming Jing', they have to bow their heads and ears. Even spanked Fang Xing's butt, right?"

Liu Minxiu quickly waved her hands: "No, no, the plot in the play, the plot in the play."

The audience at the scene was already boiling, shouting and shouting below the stage.

Seeing the audience's reaction, the host of "Laughing Weekend" could have a premonition that after the broadcast of this episode, the effect of the program must be very explosive.
