This star is wrong

Chapter 441 Xiangjiang Satellite TV's Film Purchase Plan

When having dinner with Hu Chunsheng, Chen Wenhan didn't show any displeasure, but after leaving the hotel, he lost his temper in the car and scolded his manager badly.

"What are you doing to eat? I just invited a director to come and have dinner with me. Over there at Ark Culture, the deputy director went there in person!" Chen Wenhan threw the half-drunk mineral water directly on the ground.

The manager was also very innocent, and explained: "Today's dinner is arranged by Shengqi Entertainment."

Chen Wenhan snorted coldly, and said, "Forget about tonight. From now on, I will only have dinner with leaders above the deputy director."

The agent hesitated for a moment, and explained: "Young Master Chen, in fact, the TV station's drama selection is the job of the chief editor's office, and the director and deputy director usually don't get involved in the drama selection.

"Even if the TV station has a meeting to make a decision, the director still listens to the opinions of the editor-in-chief."

Generally speaking, the editor-in-chief of each David TV is indeed responsible for the selection of dramas, and there may be slight changes in each TV station.

As for the director and deputy director, they don't usually go to the TV show producers' screenings.

The leaders of the TV station above the deputy director level don't even participate in the film meeting. Naturally, they don't know which TV series to watch and which TV series to watch.

In the end, the leaders of the TV station still have to listen to the opinions of the editor-in-chief's office and the film selection team.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Shengqi Entertainment inviting the director of the editor-in-chief of Xiangjiang Satellite TV to dinner.

Of course, some things are special cases.

For example, the drama of Ark Culture is too popular.

Other TV stations send leaders above the deputy director level to connect with them in person, and Xiangjiang TV's deputy director, Jiang Minghe, will naturally go there in person.

Moreover, Jiang Minghe and Fang Xing were relatively close, and they chatted somewhat friendly.

However, when things came to Chen Wenhan's place, he felt like being perfunctorily sent by a director from Xiangjiang Satellite TV.

……

the next day.

At the working meeting of Xiangjiang Satellite TV.

Hu Chunsheng submitted the film purchase plan for the next quarter.

In this film purchase plan, "Furong tent warms the spring night" is added.

the night before.

Although Chen Wenhan looked down on Hu Chunsheng, the director of the editor-in-chief of Xiangjiang Satellite TV, he still had a good time eating and drinking.

Chen Wenhan didn't show his displeasure in person either, he lost his temper in the car after leaving the hotel.

Moreover, Hu Chunsheng is the relationship that Shengqi Entertainment is looking for.

After all, Shengqi Entertainment is one of the three major entertainment companies in China, and it does have a wide network of contacts.

Therefore, when Hu Chunsheng returned to Taiwan to make the film purchase plan for the next season, he also added "Fu Rong Zhang Warm Spring Night" to it.

Of course, the film purchase plan is just a plan, will you buy it in the end?When did you buy it and play it?It also needs to be discussed and decided by the leaders of Taili.

The purchase plan was placed in front of every TV station leader attending the meeting.

Individual leaders randomly flipped through it a few times.

Since "Langya List" is the current focus of Xiangjiang Satellite TV, after the meeting started, Jiang Minghe spoke first:

"On Wednesday afternoon, I chatted with Fang Xing from Ark Culture.

"The premiere rights of "Langya Bang" have not been sold yet, but the competition is fierce.

"Donghai Satellite TV, Jiangnan Satellite TV, and even Kyoto Satellite TV have ideas, and there are more provincial satellite TVs with lower ratings.

“This situation has been expected from the beginning.

"And, most importantly, "Langya Bang" can be said to be starred by the original cast of "The Pretender".

"I don't need to say anything about "The Pretender". When our station aired, its ratings broke second, and it was the king of dramas that year.

"So, if "Langya List" can win, the ratings foundation will not be bad."

The director thought about it for a while and asked, "Is there a viewing party for "Langya Bang"?"

"Not yet, it's still in the later stage." Jiang Minghe replied.

"That still has to wait until after the movie will be decided."

"This is for sure, but our station must make preparations first. Because I heard that a video platform has already offered a guarantee contract of [-] million yuan. I am worried that if "Langya Bang" signs a webcast first, our station will It has to match the schedule of the webcast.”

Jiang Minghe paused, and then added: "According to my prediction, on the day of the screening, we have to bid to win it, otherwise we may not be able to compete with other provincial satellite TV."

Television stations buy movies at a fixed price, so it is impossible to make a deal without seeing the finished movie.

Video platforms, however, are different.

Video platforms and S-level film and television dramas all signed CPM advertising account sharing contracts, and the account sharing ratios were fixed.

The most video platform is to open a guaranteed contract.

With the strength of Ark Culture, even if the auction of "Langya Bang" is mediocre, with a guarantee contract of [-] million yuan, there is little possibility of losing money.

Therefore, the video platform can even sign with eyes closed without watching the film.

TV stations can’t do it anymore, they can only see the finished film, and then set a price based on the quality of the TV series and the total investment.

Moreover, in recent years, many TV drama producers have begun to adopt a network-first solution.

Because today's young audiences prefer to watch dramas on the Internet such as mobile phones and computers, the size of the audience watching TV stations has been shrinking.

Gradually, TV dramas have more lucrative income on video platforms.

Film and television companies produce TV series, of course, to make money. Since the video platform provides more, it is natural to give priority to meeting the requirements of the video platform.

This has also led to the fact that TV stations have not been as strong as before in recent years, and sometimes have to adjust their schedules to match the broadcasting of video platforms.

of course.

For most S-level TV dramas, the producers will talk to TV stations, video platforms and other broadcast platforms to discuss a broadcast plan that everyone is satisfied with.

The stronger the producer, the more so.

The current Ark culture already has this confidence.

Because there are too many TV stations that want to premiere the Ark culture TV series.

……

Xiangjiang Satellite TV's work meeting continued.

Hu Chunsheng mentioned in a timely manner: "Shengqi Entertainment has also completed "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night" for me. This drama also has great potential. I have joined the film purchase plan."

"Has your editor-in-chief's office seen the finished film of this drama?" Jiang Minghe has heard of this drama, and it is a popular costume idol drama now.

Costume idol dramas are considered the trump card theme of Xiangjiang Satellite TV. Every year, several popular ancient puppets are released, and they are all the top ratings at the same time.

Hu Chunsheng shook his head, and replied: "It's still in the final stage, I've seen a little of the first cut version, the leading actors are all popular stars now, the fan base is very good, it's worth paying attention to."

If you only look at the data on paper, "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night" is indeed very suitable for Xiangjiang Satellite TV.

Since it is suitable for Xiangjiang Satellite TV, as the deputy director of Xiangjiang Satellite TV, naturally he will not reject a project with a high probability of success.

Jiang Minghe nodded and said, "This drama can be followed up. When will it be finished later? What schedule does the producer plan to broadcast?"

"I heard what the producer thinks, and I want to broadcast it around New Year's Day." Hu Chunsheng said Chen Wenhan's original words.

Jiang Minghe frowned, and said: "Ark Culture's "Langya Bang" is also planned to be broadcast on New Year's Day. If you want to buy this drama called "Fu Rong", then we have to decide the broadcast schedule."

A young director in the chief editor's office raised his hand, and after receiving approval, he said, "Director, the marketing strategies of "Fu Rong Zhang Warm Spring Night" and "Langya Bang" were competitors from the very beginning.

"These two dramas have been arguing on the Internet for several months. I think these two dramas want to be broadcast at the same time."

Jiang Minghe picked up the material of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night", looked at it carefully, and was immediately amused: "Oh! It's another play by Pengcheng Capital. I first saw it was Hanlin Media, but I didn't expect it to be Pengcheng Capital again. of."

It is not the first time that Pengcheng Capital and Ark Culture have competed in the field of TV dramas.

Xiangjiang Satellite TV is also in the vortex of the battlefield between these two companies.

Last time, "Hurricane" and "Operation Black Wind" were like this.

"Operation Black Wind" was simulcast on two channels at the time, one of which was Xiangjiang Satellite TV.

However, Jiang Minghe was very wise at the time, and took the initiative to discuss with the producer to put the broadcast time of "Operation Black Wind" in June.

Only, who would have thought.

"Operation Black Wind" was broadcast in June, but he was caught by the TV station of "Hurricane" in the second round, and his face was swollen.

For this reason, Xiangjiang Satellite TV almost failed to recover the cost of the project "Operation Black Wind".

Now, although the producer of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night" has been changed to Hanlin Media, it is actually a project led by Pengcheng Capital.

Pengcheng Capital seems to be on the fence with Ark Culture, and this time "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night" and "Langya Bang" collided again.

Jiang Minghe saw that "Furong Tent Warmth Spring Night" was a drama of Pengcheng Capital, and he already had a psychological shadow. He said in a deep voice: "This drama must be cautious, even if you want to buy it, it can only be used to succeed "Langya Bang". My idea is that "Langya Bang" must be won."

The other leaders of Xiangjiang Satellite TV basically agree with Jiang Minghe's idea, and they all agree to give priority to the "Langya List".

For other TV series, we will wait until we get "Langya Bang".

Jiang Minghe thought about it, and added: "We still have a good chance to compete for "Langya Bang", but there is an opponent who is very troublesome, Donghai Satellite TV is really close.

"If "Langya Bang" wants to broadcast alone, it should be very difficult, so my idea is to take the initiative to talk to Donghai Satellite TV, and the two channels will broadcast "Langya Bang", so that the confidence will be greater."

This plan was quickly approved by other leaders.

Because "Langya Bang" is so popular now, it is too difficult for a TV station to compete with all other TV stations. At this time, find a cooperative TV station and join forces to participate in the competition, and the odds of winning will be much greater.

Hu Chunsheng interjected at the right time and asked, "Leaders, do you still want to follow up the drama "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night"? This drama is indeed suitable for our station."

This time Jiang Minghe didn't say anything. His current focus of work was "Langya Bang", and he didn't want to worry about other things.

Another deputy director arranged: "Director Hu, you will follow up on "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night". After watching the finished film, if it is suitable, you can consider buying it."

For Xiangjiang Satellite TV, "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night" is a hot topic, and it is suitable for Xiangjiang Satellite TV's audience group. You will not lose money if you buy it.

"Okay, I'll go meet with the film crew." Hu Chunsheng took over the job.

……

after a few days.

Shengqi Entertainment took the lead again and invited Hu Chunsheng, Chen Wenhan, and the main creators of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" to dinner.

What's more, Ma Hongcheng and Sun Xinru, who are entertaining and entertaining this time, will accompany them.

Because according to the TV station's habit of film selection, Hu Chunsheng should talk about the film purchase plan this time, which is more formal than last time.

Chen Wenhan was a little upset when he heard that it was Hu Chunsheng again this time.

However, after going back last time, his agent explained to him the work content of the provincial satellite TV editor-in-chief's office, and clarified Hu Chunsheng's authority.

Therefore, even though Chen Wenhan was a little upset this time, he still came to the scene in person.

"Director Hu, what do the leaders of your station say about "Furong"?" Shengqi Entertainment's executives took the initiative to ask.

"The leaders in the station are still very optimistic about "Fu Rong", so let me meet and discuss the time for watching the film." Hu Chunsheng replied with a smile.

"You can rest assured that the quality of "Furong" will definitely satisfy you."

The executives of Shengqi Entertainment looked at Chen Wenhan and asked, "Young Master Chen, how is the post-production progress? When will the screening be held?"

Chen Wenhan is not very clear, he only knows an approximate time: "Probably next month."

"Next month... also."

Hu Chunsheng didn't ask for a specific viewing time, so he paused and added: "Just one thing, the leaders of the station hope that the broadcast schedule of "Furong" must be determined by our station, and the online video platform must also cooperate with our station. broadcast plan."

Upon hearing this request, Chen Wenhan immediately frowned and said, "This won't work, I have the final say on the broadcast time."

Hu Chunsheng chuckled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, we'll talk about the next thing after the screening is over."

After two meetings, Hu Chunsheng also had a bad impression of Chen Wenhan.

As for the broadcast schedule of "Furong Tent Warming the Spring Night", it's not yet time to talk about that.

I have to wait until next month to watch the movie. Before I see the finished movie, I'm not sure whether I should buy this drama, let alone talk about the future.

The senior executives of Shengqi Entertainment knew the working habits of the TV station very well, frowned and asked: "Old Hu, tell me the truth, your director, what is your attitude towards "Furong"?"

Hu Chunsheng has a very close relationship with this executive of Shengqi Entertainment, seeing him asking this question, he said honestly: "Let me tell the truth.

"Currently the focus of work in Taiwan is "Langya Bang", even if you want to buy "Fu Rong", there is a high probability that it will be broadcast after "Langya Bang".

"So, after purchasing "Fu Rong", the broadcast schedule has to be decided by the leaders of the station."

"what?!"

Chen Wenhan stared, and suddenly became angry.

He never expected that when talking about TV stations, he would be overwhelmed by "Langya Bang".

Even the broadcast schedule depends on the face of "Langya Bang".

The executives of Shengqi Entertainment frowned and asked, "As far as I know, the premiere of "Langya Bang" has not been sold yet, but your channel has already won?"

Hu Chunsheng shook his head, and replied: "Not yet, but I heard from the leaders in the stage... I am determined to win."

The words "Aspire to win" carry a lot of weight.

Chen Wenhan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "You guys are so confident in "Langya Bang"? Let me tell you, if you use "Furong" to play "Langya Bang", you will definitely win.

"This time, if "Furong" doesn't beat "Langya Bang" to pieces, I'll wring the head off and use it as a stool for you!"

Hu Chunsheng spread his hands and said: "This... is the decision of the leaders in Taiwan, I can't help it."

"What's there to talk about! Let me tell you, whenever "Langya Bang" is broadcast, my drama will be broadcast. If I don't win Fang Xing this time, my surname will not be Chen!" Chen Wenhan scolded angrily. Kicked off the chair, slammed the door and left.
