Chapter 512 The Inconceivable Solo Broadcasting Right

The post-production of "Dark Glory" was basically completed, and after the first cut was released, it was submitted to the State Administration of Radio and Television for review.

Because when this TV series was approved, it was because of the campus bullying incident in Baitang Town.

Although the background of the play is placed abroad, the State Administration of Radio and Television is still very careful about the review of this play.

In order to ensure that the show can pass the trial, Song Li visited several leaders of relevant departments through relationships, and personally explained the core idea of ​​the TV series.

In fact, the main story line of "Dark Glory" is the story of the heroine who was bullied on campus and seeks revenge from the bully 18 years later.

TV dramas with revenge as the main line are very common.

"Langya Bang" is a TV series with revenge as the main line.

"Langya Bang" did not receive much resistance during the review process.

The reason is simple, "Langya Bang" is an ancient background, and it is an overhead background.

Revenge is a little sensitive in the modern context, coupled with campus bullying.

If the background of the story is placed in China, it will be very difficult to pass the review.

However, it would be much better if the background was placed abroad.

Moreover, the story of the campus bullying part is not completely fabricated.

When Fang Xing was writing the script, he checked relevant news materials.

The social situation in South Korea is indeed very dark and cruel, but their TV dramas dare to film anything, and they can still be released after filming.

Due to the script of the campus bullying part, there are real cases abroad as a reference.

It made the review pressure of this drama a lot less.

After several communications, the State Administration of Radio and Television held a meeting to discuss and proposed several amendments, which finally passed the review.

Among these revisions, there is a clip of "Park Yanzhen" played by Guan Shuxi and "Quan Jaejun" played by Zheng Feipeng riding horses on the sofa.

Fang Xing had expected this one, and he didn't cut it off when he submitted it for trial, because it was a bit of work for the higher-ups.

With this line in the front, other small trouble spots are not so conspicuous.

……

As soon as the news that "Dark Glory" had passed the trial came out, Fang Xing immediately received invitations from the leaders of major TV stations, all of them for dinner.

Fang Xing was not in a hurry to have dinner with the leaders of the TV stations, and went straight to the movie viewing session, and asked the TV stations to send people to watch the finished movie.

Although it has passed the review, the style and story of this drama has no precedent in China.

Moreover, the campus bullying plot at the beginning is still very sensitive.

TV stations may not dare to broadcast.

Because no TV series of this type have been broadcast in China, it is difficult to say what kind of reaction the audience will arouse.

For TV stations, stability is usually more pursued than risk-taking.

The drama "Dark Glory" is actually an adventure for the TV station.

This is not an idol drama, nor is it a war movie or a spy movie with the main theme. No one knows whether it will cause negative feedback from the audience.

……

Just as Fang Xing expected, when the "Dark Glory" screening was held, all major provincial satellite TVs across the country sent viewing groups to watch.

However, after watching it, the major TV stations began to hesitate.

The current TV drama environment is more suitable for joyful and romantic themes.

The standard answer is ancient puppets.

At present, David TV and video platforms will broadcast more than a dozen or even dozens of ancient puppets a year.

Because the puppet is too in line with the preferences of the main audience of the TV series.

Even if the story is not so good-looking, as long as it can pass the time, it is not annoying to watch, and the filter and beautification are turned on, the audience can continue to watch it.

The genre of costume idol drama has matured to the point where even if the score is only 5 points, it can still make money without losing money.

In the 10-point system, you can only get 5 points, which is already a proper bad movie.

Even so, film studios can still make money.

The ancient puppet is the standard answer in the TV drama industry now. It only takes five cents of effort to earn ten cents of money.

Although "Dark Glory" is a collaboration between Fang Xing and Song Li, the quality is indeed high, but its subject matter is sensitive, there is no precedent for reference, and it may even cause negative feedback from the audience.

The major provincial satellite TV stations, after participating in the screenings, had unanimous responses and were not so positive.

In contrast, video platforms are very active.

Video platforms are different from TV stations.

A TV station can only broadcast one drama at the same time. If this drama arouses negative feedback from the audience, it will directly affect the ratings of the entire station.

Therefore, TV stations are more inclined to play the insurance card.

The video platform is different. If a drama is not good, viewers can just turn it off and watch another one, without the problems faced by TV stations.

Therefore, when selecting films, video platforms can let go of their hands and feet and choose some dramas that are slanted.

In terms of film selection, the video platform pays more attention to the upper limit of a drama.

"Dark Glory" is such a drama, the upper limit may be high, but the subject matter is sensitive, and the sword is slanted.

The major TVs retreated, but the video sites charged forward.

……

As the "Dark Glory" viewing session ended, gossip media began to report on the situation of "Dark Glory".

After all, this show has been very popular since it started filming.

Now that the filming session is over, how could the entertainment media ignore such a hot topic.

The gossip media has inquired about the screening of "Dark Glory" from various channels.

Because all major TV stations and video platforms participated in the film viewing meeting.

The team participating in the film viewing meeting must definitely keep the content of the TV series confidential, but it is not impossible to say nothing.

For example, is the TV station interested in this drama, and what is the price per episode.

This information is not confidential.

Therefore, as soon as the viewing session was over, a piece of entertainment gossip rushed into the trending searches:

["Dark Glory" is pre-cooling, and David TV has lost interest, and it seems that the quality of the series is worrying. 】

Judging from this piece of news alone, the first half of the headline is true, and the second half is somewhat questionable, but the use of the word "suspected" cannot be said to be a rumor.

[All David TVs gave up "Dark Glory" at the same time, what caused it?Could it be that the cooperation with Song Li will become Fang Xing's Waterloo? 】

When these gossip news came out, it immediately sparked discussions across the Internet.

It is really because the combined enthusiasm of Fang Xing and Song Li is too great.

What's even more frightening is that there are black fans who oppose the Fangxing Alliance.

What this group of black fans want to see most is this kind of news, as long as Fang Xing is unlucky, it will be their carnival.

Therefore, under these news, countless black fans left messages to celebrate.

[As expected, the new drama has been aired for so long, and this is the result! 】

[If it's just a satellite TV giving up, it can also be said to be a problem with the TV station.Whose problem will it be if all satellite TVs give up at the same time? 】

[In the beginning, they were talking about shocking awards, but now even the TV stations are unwilling to broadcast it. 】

[I was bragging at the beginning, but now I swallow it back! 】

[Fang Xing, this bastard, also has times when he rushes to the street, and it's really pleasing to the heart. 】

【Like! 】

【Like +1】

In the carnival comments of these black fans, there are occasionally some strange comments:

[Finally hit the street?That's great, hurry up and let this guy go back and sing.

[A singer who makes some TV series is not doing his job properly. 】

[Can you finally sing well?That's really hilarious. 】

[Don't be like this, I'm in a shortage of drama.Give me a show to watch.I feel like throwing up now when I see the cover of Googol. 】

[This Waterloo slipped well, but it dragged Song Li down. 】

In the comments of these fun people, occasionally there will be one or two fans of Song Li, who will post question marks:

【Are you fans or black? What are the benefits of "Dark Glory" rushing to the street? 】

[Don't rush.Song Li only releases one drama in two or three years, and watching one is less than one.And if this movie is successful, it will break Song Li's record of five consecutive high-quality dramas. 】

[The show hasn't aired yet!Can you guys have some confidence.I don't believe Song Li can make a bad drama, it's absolutely impossible. 】

【I can't imagine it either, let's forget about Fang Xing, he's too young after all.How Song Li could make a bad drama is completely unimaginable. 】

……

When the whole network is discussing and the demons are dancing.

Li Xueying, Vice President of Penguin Video, personally went to Ark Culture to block Fang Xing, insisting on dragging her to eat.

Penguin Video also participated in the screening of "Dark Glory", and Li Xueying personally led the team.

Speaking of which, Li Xueying, the vice president of Penguin Video, has been in control of every drama Fang Xing has produced since "Wulin Biography".

Although the following dramas are basically multi-platform simulcasts, Penguin Video has reached cooperation on all of them.

The reason for this is mainly because Fang Xing is very grateful to Li Xueying for helping "Wulin Biography" at the beginning.

Of course, "Wulin Biography" also rewarded Li Xueying ten times and a hundred times.

Because "Wulin Biography" was originally broadcast exclusively on Penguin Video, and it has been two and a half years since the show was broadcast, and it is still at the top of the comedy category list.

This drama is so outrageous, it has dominated the charts for two and a half years, and depending on the trend, it will continue to dominate the charts.

In an elegant restaurant.

"Mr. Fang, is it possible for "Dark Glory" to be broadcast exclusively?" Li Xueying filled Fang Xing's glass with fruit juice and began to test the tone.

Since they have worked together many times, the two are very familiar.

Li Xueying didn't order wine and drank fruit juice together.

Fang Xing smiled, and asked: "The TV stations have all retreated, and you still have to rush forward."

Li Xueying laughed and said, "Boss Fang is joking, it's not that the TV station is not interested in "Dark Glory", it's just that they don't want to take risks.

"Tell me, is there a possibility of a solo broadcast? I am very sincere."

Generally speaking, for dramas like "Dark Glory" that are already at the top of their popularity when filming starts, it is difficult for video platforms to obtain the exclusive right to broadcast them.

Because not only Penguin Video is charging, but Taro Video, Pea Video, and the top five domestic video sites are all charging.

Generally speaking, there are two situations for dramas broadcast exclusively on video sites.

The first type is a drama invested by a video website. In this case, the video website has the final say.

Of course, there are risks in investing in TV dramas. If it turns out to be a bad drama, it will be a loss to grandma's family.

The second situation is that the quality of the TV series is not high or low, and other video sites do not compete fiercely, and then offer a price that satisfies the producer, and win the exclusive broadcasting rights.

"Dark Glory" does fit the second case a little bit.

Because all David TVs have a wait-and-see attitude towards this drama.

This gave Li Xueying the confidence to talk about exclusive rights.

Fang Xing smiled and said, "My psychological expectations for "Dark Glory" are very high, and it's not easy to get the exclusive rights."

Li Xueying nodded and said, "Of course, since I dare to mention the solo broadcast, I must be mentally prepared, and the price can be negotiated."

Fang Xing shook his head and smiled, "Mr. Li, the psychological expectations I'm talking about are not even purely about the price."

Li Xueying frowned, and understood the meaning of Fang Xing's words.

In fact, before she came to block Fangxing, she had already held a meeting with the company's senior management to discuss it. She got the approval of the company's senior management and got a high price range, so she came to talk about the exclusive broadcast.

Of course, Penguin Video's high-level meeting was willing to offer sky-high prices not only because of Fang Xing, but also because of Song Li.

Moreover, Penguin Video has participated in a film screening, and the film viewing group has a high evaluation of the drama, but the subject matter is sensitive.

It may not be suitable for broadcasting on TV stations, but it is definitely suitable for broadcasting on video websites.

Li Xueying was very confident in the price discussed at the company's high-level meeting.

However, Fang Xing said that it was not simply a matter of price.

"Boss Fang has great confidence in the new drama." Li Xueying wanted to test his tone again.

Fang Xing replied with a smile: "It's true that you are very confident. Mr. Li will treat me as a broom."

"Can you tell me about it? What kind of conditions are there for a solo broadcast?" Li Xueying didn't want to give up, but wanted to see how confident Fang Xing was.

"Let's put it this way, in fact, this drama is already negotiating with overseas channels. It's not a matter of price, but an upgrade of the battlefield." Fang Xing said frankly.

Since "Dark Glory" had two-handed preparations from the very beginning, if it failed to pass the review in China, it would go through overseas distribution channels.

Therefore, very early on, Ark Culture was in contact with overseas distribution channels.

Now the drama has passed the review, but this does not conflict with overseas distribution.

Li Xueying frowned, feeling that this cooperation was really different from the past.

"If it's a solo broadcast, Fang always thinks what kind of cooperation will it be?" Li Xueying feels that this cooperation is no longer up to her to decide, but since the discussion has been made, she must bring a general direction back.

Fang Xing thought for a while, and replied: "If Penguin Video really wants to broadcast exclusively, it may have to involve the development strategy of the website.

"Of course, it's actually hard to talk about these things now before the show starts broadcasting.

"My psychological expectations for the drama are too high, and the video platform doesn't think the drama has such great power.

"So, I'm just kidding.

"Of course, we can't ask Li Zongbai to buy a meal. The multi-platform simulcast is relatively simple. We still follow the previous model and just talk to the company's marketing department.

"It doesn't matter if the guarantee is not guaranteed, it will exceed the guarantee anyway."

Fang Xing said it lightly, but Li Xueying sounded really turbulent.

It doesn't matter whether the guarantee is guaranteed or not!
This kind of words doesn't seem like what the producer would say.

Li Xueying had seen too many producers, but she had never heard such words.

The producers want to reduce the risk, and they will never give up this opportunity if they can guarantee the bottom line.

However, Fang Xing didn't want to talk about guarantees.

Li Xueying sighed: "Mr. Fang's self-confidence really makes me admire. If it is my own company, even if it is a risk, I will fight with Mr. Fang.

"It's a pity that Penguin Video is a subsidiary of the group, and it's not up to one person to decide.

"What Mr. Fang said is that it's really impossible to do a solo broadcast, and it's fine if you can broadcast it in simulcast, so I wish us a happy cooperation, cheers!"
