Chapter 443 The Embarrassment of the Lowest Score After Watching the Film Group

The screening will last until [-] pm on the first day.

The viewing group of Xiangjiang Satellite TV has watched the first ten episodes.

Many people in the viewing group are still unsatisfied and want to continue watching.

However, the point of watching the movie is not to follow the drama, but to confirm whether the drama is worth buying.

Therefore, after watching the episode, the film group still needs to hold a meeting to discuss.

Hu Chunsheng looked at Jiang Minghe and asked, "Leader, you see that's it for today, shall we continue tomorrow?"

Jiang Minghe seldom participated in film viewing meetings. Even if he did, he might just watch them casually, and then find a place to drink tea and rest.

The reason for this is that Xiangjiang Satellite TV's main TV series are actually more in line with the tastes of female audiences.

However, this time watching "Langya Bang", he really took it in, and sat with the film group for a whole day.

Jiang Minghe thought for a while, stood up and said, "Colleagues, this film viewing meeting is very important. I will work overtime today and go back to a meeting to discuss the success of today's film viewing. After this work is over, I will give everyone a vacation."

"Okay, leader." The viewing group has just watched the first ten episodes, and there are many impressions they want to discuss.

Even if there is no meeting and discussion, when I go back to the hotel and lie on the bed, I will chat with colleagues in the same room until midnight.

The first day of viewing will be over.

Jiang Minghe led the viewing group out of the screening hall. When he passed the aisle, he found that the No. 1 screening hall was not over yet.

He looked back at his subordinates behind him and asked, "Which TV station is Hall 1?"

There are 25 people in the Xiangjiang Satellite TV viewing group. Not all of them stay in the screening hall all day. Occasionally, some people come out to take a breath and take a break.

Watching groups of other TV stations are no exception.

The employees of the movie watching groups of various TV stations will also chat while smoking and breathing.

Therefore, basically everyone knows which TV stations are participating in the film screening today.

"Leader, Hall 1 is owned by Donghai Satellite TV. I heard that they will also work overtime tonight." An employee of Xiangjiang Satellite TV replied.

"Let's go and go back to the meeting." Jiang Minghe knew that Donghai Satellite TV was also moving very quickly, and the competition this time was indeed fierce.

After all, this competition is likely to be the king of a drama, and every TV station is fighting for it.

……

After Xiangjiang Satellite TV watched the film group and returned to the hotel, they had a simple dinner and immediately held a meeting to discuss the content of the first ten episodes of "Langya Bang".

"The rhythm of the first episode of this drama feels a bit lukewarm, and there are even some long shots, which is not a common technique in TV dramas. However, this drama really gets better and better the more you watch it."

"I also think it looks good. I remembered a lot of points, such as when the male protagonist met his grandma, and when Princess Nihuang doubted the identity of the male protagonist. These points are very able to mobilize the audience's emotions."

"I suddenly discovered that Fang Xing's acting skills are really good. The role this time is very different from the male lead in "Hurricane". He just stood there quietly, but it just makes people feel that there are mountains and seas hanging upside down in his chest, and thousands of ravines." thousand."

"The audience of this drama, I think, may be male and female. Fu Huadao is very real, and Fang Xing's appearance this time seems to be very popular."

The film troupe was discussing enthusiastically.

Jiang Minghe listened from the sidelines, and all he heard were mostly positive comments.

He looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock.

When he came back, he proposed a video conference with the high-level executives in the station, and it was scheduled for [-] o'clock in the evening.

He clapped his hands, interrupted the group's discussion, and said, "Pause, I'm going to have a video conference with the leaders of the station later to report the results of today's viewing.

"Now, everyone will give a score based on the episodes they watched today."

Hu Chunsheng took out a TV drama rating form, distributed it, and said: "The discussion is suspended now, and the ratings are based on your views on the TV series. Don't influence each other, and your subjective feelings shall prevail."

The usual job of the movie watching group is to analyze TV dramas and give ratings, which are used as a reference for TV stations to buy movies.

Therefore, the members of the film viewing group present are aware of the scoring rules.

Everyone stopped discussing and started filling out the scoring form.

Jiang Minghe looked at the staff in charge of equipment in the movie theater group, and arranged, "Let's prepare for the video conference."

The employee took out the laptop and put it on a separate table in the conference room so that the camera could capture the members of the viewing group.

Jiang Minghe moved the swivel chair, sat at the front, and straightened his suit.

After the film crew filled out the rating form, Hu Chunsheng asked people to put it away, and then began to make statistics.

The video conference is also started simultaneously.

"Everyone has worked hard." Several senior executives of Xiangjiang Satellite TV appeared on the screen, and the director first spoke to encourage the employees who watched the film troupe.

"It's not hard." The interest of watching the film group is still very high.

"Today's film review went smoothly. Due to the tight work and heavy tasks, we will go straight to the topic and report the results of the first day to the leaders of the station." After Jiang Minghe finished speaking, he motioned for Hu Chunsheng to start reporting.

Hu Chunsheng got the score sheet that had been counted, and raised it to signal to the camera: "Leaders, this is the score sheet made by the film crew based on the first ten episodes of "Langya Bang".

"This form has been faxed back, and I will report here.

"According to the score statistics of the first ten episodes of "Langya Bang" by our watch group, the lowest score is 8.5 points, the highest score is 9.5 points, and the average score of 24 people is 9.07 points.

"This score is significantly higher than the average score of the film group, and also higher than the 8.75 points of "The Pretender."

Although the members of Xiangjiang Satellite TV's viewing group are not completely fixed, there are not many changes in personnel.

Moreover, there are 24 ratings from the film group. Although the number is not large, this number is enough to reflect the subjective evaluation of the TV series by the film group.

And this time, the score of "Langya Bang" is higher than that of "The Pretender", which already shows the problem.

After Hu Chunsheng reported the data, he added: "Of course, this is only the first day's rating, and I have only watched the first ten episodes of "Langya Bang", so I am not sure about the subsequent episodes.

"According to the figures given by Ark Culture, "Langya Bang" has a total of 54 episodes, and 10 episodes only account for less than one-fifth.

"So, the ratings on the first day can only be used as a reference, and cannot fully reflect the quality of the episodes."

Jiang Minghe took the stack of score sheets and began to look through them.

On the score sheet, in addition to the comprehensive score, there are more detailed scores and comments on professional points.

Jiang Minghe turned to the score sheet with a score of 8.5, glanced at the name, and asked, "Zhou Qilei, tell the leader, why did you give a score of 8.5?"

The viewing group of the TV station is a position specially arranged for the selection of films, so the ratings are all written, and after the ratings are completed, occasionally the ratings need to be discussed.

The member of the viewing group named Zhou Qilei stood up, scratched the back of his head, and replied a little embarrassedly: "I scored 8.5, but I don't think this show is bad. In fact, this score is also very high. I didn't expect it. I became the lowest score."

"Hahaha..." The person next to him couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Qilei went on to say: "The persuasiveness of this drama is very good, unlike many ancient puppets, the colors are so strong that they may be suspected of color pollution.

"If you want to talk about shortcomings, it is that the rhythm of the plot in the early stage is a bit slow, with the camera and soundtrack, it always makes people feel that the director is not in a hurry to tell the story.

"Of course, this kind of feeling also gave this drama a very special look, and it happened to fit the character of the protagonist 'Mei Changsu'.

"To describe it in one word, it is 'quiet', the 'quiet' of a gentleman.

"There is a kind of demeanor of drinking a pot of tea, chatting about a period of life, watching the world indifferently, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles."

At the same time, he couldn't help but interjected: "You are a good review at all."

Zhou Qilei said speechlessly: "I didn't say that I would give a bad review, and 8.5 points is already very high. If I have to talk about the shortcomings, it is that the pace of the first episode is slow. For some impatient audiences who are used to intense conflicts, Maybe I can’t calm down and watch slowly.”

Jiang Minghe praised him, pressed him to sit down, and then ordered two members of the film troupe to express their opinions.

After it was over, he turned his head and said to the camera: "Leaders, judging from the quality of the first ten episodes of "Nirvana in Fire", the quality of this drama is very high, and the ratings of the film crew are also very high.

"Although I haven't seen the follow-up episodes yet, I think the film purchase plan should be advanced, and the budget for the film purchase needs to be discussed as soon as possible.

"Other TV stations are also working overtime today, the action is slow, and there may be changes."

……

the other side.

Donghai Satellite TV's movie viewing group, after the first day of watching the movie, went directly back to the TV station to work overtime for a meeting.

Unlike Xiangjiang Satellite TV, since the headquarters of Donghai Satellite TV is in the city, there is no need for a video conference, just go back to the meeting.

Sun Linhai, director of Donghai Satellite TV, also took time to participate in this seminar.

The situation of the symposium was similar to that of Xiangjiang Satellite TV. The evaluations given by the film groups were basically based on favorable comments.

After discussing the quality of the episodes, Wei Shurong, the deputy director, also asked the purchasing director to analyze the purchasing budget of "Langya Bang".

The purchasing director took the prepared budget and reported: "According to the investment data of "Langya Bang" we got, the total investment of this drama is 1.8 million, which is a large investment among S-level projects.

"Moreover, this is also the drama that Ark Culture has invested the most in addition to "Hurricane".

"The main investors are Ark Culture, Penguin Video, Penguin Pictures, and Maorong Fresh."

The total investment of a drama, as well as the whereabouts of shooting expenses, can also reflect the quality of the drama.

In particular, the composition of actors' remuneration greatly affects the quality of film and television dramas.

If the proportion of actors' remuneration is too high, other shooting costs will be compressed.

This is also the reason why many idol dramas desperately cut out pictures in the past few years.

Because the investment was all spent on film remuneration, there was no money to shoot exteriors, and it was even difficult to coordinate the actors, so I had to use a stand-in to shoot, and then cut out the pictures to perfunctory.

Wei Shurong asked: "Is there a proportion of shooting expenses?"

The Director of Film Purchasing took out a form and said, "Yes, the total cost of actors' remuneration is 7000 million. Among them, Fang Xing's remuneration is 2500 million, and Wang Kai's 1000 million..."

In the first four dramas of Ark Culture, Fang Xing was not paid.

This time, "Langya Bang" attracted more investment.

If you don't get paid, it's equivalent to the investment of Ark Culture, which is diluted.

Therefore, Fang Xing offered a salary of 2500 million according to his own market conditions.

In fact, there were 3000 million invitations for an S-level project to invite Fang Xing to play the male lead, but he didn't accept it.

Therefore, the salary is not high.

After all, he is the No. [-] male lead in the four drama king-level TV series, and his acting skills, image, and popularity are all in the first rank.

If you really go outside to accept the show, 3000 million projects will be lined up to grab people.

"According to the regulations of the State Administration of Radio and Television, the total remuneration of the actors should not exceed 40% of the total cost. The remuneration of the actors in "Nirvana in Fire" just meets this requirement." The purchasing director added.

The State Administration of Radio and Television does have this regulation.

It's just that the regulations are just regulations, and there are many ways to get around them when they are implemented.

According to the 1.8 million investment of "Langya Bang", the actor's salary is 7000 million, and there is still a 1.1 million filming budget.

The shooting budget is actually quite sufficient.

It can also reflect that the quality of the episodes will not be bad.

Moreover, in the cast of "Langya Bang", there are many actors from the National Theater and even military arts.

The cast can also give the quality of the drama a complete picture.

Moreover, in the first ten episodes, the main characters have basically appeared on the stage. Whether the acting will work or not, we already have the answer.

Therefore, the high-level executives of Donghai Satellite TV have decided to enter the stage of price negotiation, and now they will see what price they can get to buy the first broadcast right.

According to the purchase price of general TV dramas, how much the producer usually invests must give priority to recovering the cost, and then consider the profit.

Therefore, the total investment in a TV series is a reference for the purchase price.

Of course, the rapid development of online broadcasting in recent years has made producers more profitable, and the purchase prices of TV stations are not as exaggerated as before.

The film purchasing director continued to analyze: "According to the analysis of the investment amount of "Langya Bang", the price of the first broadcast rights should be 200 million to 300 million per episode. Considering that there are many satellite TVs participating in the competition, the price should be closer to 300 million. .”

The price of 300 million yuan per episode is already sky-high for a 54-episode TV series.

"Is this price too high?" A Donghai Satellite TV executive questioned.

"It's really high. If it's a general TV series, our team's purchase budget should be about 150 million yuan, but the competition for Ark Culture dramas is fierce. I expect the final price of the premiere rights to be close to 300 million yuan per episode. "The purchasing director explained.

300 million for one episode, 54 episodes, this is 1.62 million, almost covering the total investment of "Langya Bang".

This is not counting the interstitial ads and the share of the video platform.

The top management of Donghai Satellite TV realized one thing.

"Langya Bang" has not even started to sell the first broadcast rights, and it is already certain that the cost will be recovered, and at least twice the income will be obtained.

Of course, this is just an analysis of the purchase budget given by the purchase director of Donghai Satellite TV, not the final transaction price.

Moreover, this price will also change due to competition from other TV stations.

"How about "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night"? Is there a budget for film purchase?" Wei Shurong asked again.

The post-production speed of "Furong Tent Warmth Spring Night" was faster than that of "Langya Bang", and even held a screening meeting before "Langya Bang".

"Furong Tent Warm Spring Night" is also a popular TV series recently, and it is also a popular theme.

Naturally, Donghai Satellite TV also sent people to attend the screening.

The Director of Film Purchasing dug out another report and replied: "It has already come out. According to the comprehensive analysis of various data, the total investment of "Fu Rong Zhang Warm Spring Night" is 1.5 million, and the total number of episodes is 50 episodes. The calculated film purchase budget is analyzed." It's 120 million episodes."
