I'm not just a director

Chapter 307 Director Jiang is in love?
"Lao Ma, write your own, don't keep glancing in my direction."

"Haha, I just took a look, I've already written down the price."

"Lao Liu, how much do you plan to pay?"

"Keep it secret, hehe."

"mean."

In the conference room, everyone was sitting in their seats scratching their heads.

What was placed on the table in front of him was the quotation given by Spark Entertainment.

The quotation sheet was very beautifully produced, with stills of Chen Hao and Pan Yueming printed on the cover.

The edges are drawn in gold fonts and look very beautiful.

The TV station staff stared at Chen Hao and Pan Yueming on the quotation list. Everyone knew that after the show "Star You" is broadcast, these two will definitely become household names.

Of course, Chen Hao is already very well-known for his role as the heartthrob in "Pink Lady".

But "Star You" will definitely take her career to the next level.

"What two lucky people."

Shi Yugang from Lantai said with emotion.

"Director, time is running out. I think other stations have almost finished writing."

The young man beside him reminded.

"It's just a matter of raising your hand and filling in the price. Of course they are quick, but this price...it's not easy to fill in."

Although he had already reported it to his leader, Shi Yugang was still a little confused.

Once people are entangled, they have many things to think about.

They are optimistic about the TV series "Xingyou", but what if it doesn't become a hit after spending a lot of money to buy it?
After watching the movie yesterday, he got excited when he went back and asked the leader for the price by issuing a military order.

just in case……

Shi Yugang shook his head, now is not the time to think about this.

He picked up the pen next to him and solemnly wrote the amount in the quotation column.

After finishing writing, Shi Yugang leaned back on his chair tiredly, looked up at the young people around him, and said with a smile:
"Old man, I always feel intimidated in this line of work. I will have to leave this heavy responsibility to you in the future."

Listening to what their director said, several young people nodded.

Don't think this is just a few numbers. This amount represents Taichung's expenditure this year.

Originally, this money could be used to produce some more entertainment programs, but now... colleagues in the program production department may have to tighten their belts.

"In case we win this show, the people in the marketing department will have to do a good job of promoting it for me, so I can make more money from those advertisers!"

Shi Yugang thought secretly in his heart.

It took about 10 minutes after Blue TV's quotation was submitted, and all TV stations had completed the auction.

Several directors who knew each other looked at each other, and they all saw tension in each other's eyes.

Jiang Peian held seven quotations in his hand and said with a smile:
"Thank you for your hard work, leaders. We have prepared some tea and snacks. Let's have something to eat first. The final results will be announced in half an hour."

The group of people in the audience could not sit still at this time. They all got up and started puffing outside the conference room.

Seeing this, Jiang Pei'an did not stop him, but came over to talk to a few people with a smile.

In fact, these few people had no time to chat, and their eyes were constantly looking at the small room in the conference room.

Soon, the ownership of the show "Star You" will be announced there.

Jiang Peian naturally saw everyone's nervousness, but he didn't speak and just waited quietly.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Please take a seat, leaders, and we will begin to announce the results."

I don’t know how many cigarettes I smoked, but Wuershan appeared in the corridor and said with a smile.

The few people looked at each other tacitly and slowly walked into the conference room.

"Everyone, please wait. After careful statistics by our staff, the results are now out. The quotation in my hand is the amount just filled in by the winning bidder."

Wuershan picked up the quotation and said with a smile.

Everything on the outside of the quotation is the same, and you can't tell it from the appearance alone. Fortunately, Wuershan didn't show off, and directly opened the quotation and announced:

"The winning bidder for one round of broadcast rights of the TV series "My Love from the Star" is..."

Speaking of this, Wuershan looked at several units below and said solemnly:

"Xin'an TV Station won the bid with a price of 11 per episode!"

"boom"

When Wuershan announced the winning bidder, everyone except Xin'an TV Station felt a sense of joy in their hearts.

Disappointed, of course, in missing out on what seemed to them to be a very good film.

But luckily it also comes from not winning the bid.

Especially Lantai Shi Yugang, who had just issued a military order to the leader.

If their blue channel wins the bid this time and the results are not satisfactory after the broadcast, he will be punished.

But then again, the new Ontario Province is really wealthy.

The price of each episode is 11 yuan. There are 23 episodes in total for "Star You". This round of broadcast rights alone cost 253 million yuan.

This price can be said to be very high.

It's simply ridiculously high.

To give a simple example, the most popular and best-selling drama in China is probably the bearded Jin Yong drama.

In 2000, CCTV, which owned the copyright for the bearded version of the first Jin Yong drama "Swordsman", offered it a high price of US$5 at the Shanghai TV Festival of the same year.

In 2001, Landai bought the national premiere rights for Bearded's new work "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which had an investment of nearly 7 million yuan and was still being filmed, at a price of 5000 yuan per episode.

In 2003, it was Lantai that purchased the premiere rights to the bearded man's third Jin Yong work "Dragon" at a price of 7 yuan per episode.

At that time, the total investment in "Dragon Movie" was 4000 million yuan.

In 2004, Blue Channel teamed up with two other TV stations to sign the premiere rights for the bearded version of Jin Yong's unfinished drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" at a price of 8 yuan per episode.

It is worth mentioning that the price of TV series is actually related to the total number of episodes. For long-running martial arts TV series like Jin Yong's drama, because there are too many episodes, the price of each episode will naturally not be too high.

Idol dramas like "Star You" have a low number of episodes and guaranteed quality. In addition, if the purchaser is optimistic, it will basically exceed [-] to [-].

However, what no one expected was that Xin'an Province was so wealthy that it directly released the price of 11 per episode.

Liu Renyi, who couldn't afford to be affiliated with Xin'an TV, didn't look worried at all. Who could compete with him at this price?

"Congratulations, Lao Liu, congratulations on winning "Star You"."

The person on the side said sourly.

"Hey, don't congratulate me. You might even get scolded. Lao Shi got scolded a lot last time."

Liu Renyi shook his head and said slowly.

When Shi Yugang heard this, he naturally knew what he was talking about, and immediately answered:
"Old Liu, don't take advantage of me and act like a good boy. I'm used to being scolded. Besides, the world is different now and then."

The bearded version of "Dragon" was the first broadcast rights purchased by Landai.

The reason why Landai was willing to pay a high price for the film was mainly because of Beard's personal influence.

And the sensational effect brought about by the "bombing" hype of "Dragon Movie".These gimmicks alone are enough to attract public attention to the channel.

It not only promotes the TV series, but also demonstrates the strength of the channel, so why not?
Of course, Lantai was also severely criticized by industry insiders at the time, with reports such as price gouging.

In a large market environment, if a product can sell for a sky-high price, it is mostly because the product itself is of good quality.

But many people feel that today’s film and television industry is very abnormal, such as:

A TV series is still being filmed, although it uses a great director, famous actors, and a good script.

But even though there is no guarantee that the quality of the TV series will be top-notch, it can still be sold at a good price.

The fact that it became popular before it was broadcast is itself the result of hype.

Of course, this is not the case for "Star You". The confidentiality measures during the early filming were pretty good.

Xin'an Province now purchases the premiere rights for 11 yuan per episode. Although it will cause a wave of public opinion from the outside world, it is still worth it.

After all, they can also show their own strength and take the opportunity to create a wave of hype.

The directors of all the TV stations were congratulating Liu Renyi, but Director Ma from Mango Channel looked constipated.

Just ten thousand short!
They are only ten thousand short of being able to tie with Xin'an TV Station.

He also wrote the price of [-] per episode on the quotation sheet with the determination to win...

Forget it, let’s wait for the second round.

……

Xin'an Province quoted a price of 253 yuan per episode, which means that the first broadcast rights were sold for [-] million, and one-third of the production cost was directly recovered.

The total investment in "Star You" was only over 600 million yuan.

Next, there will be second- and third-round broadcast rights, as well as peripheral rights, DVD rights, and overseas rights.

Of course, don’t expect such high prices for second- and third-round broadcasts.

However, Jiang Peian is still very optimistic about the follow-up performance of "Star You".

He organized his thoughts and said with a smile:
"Thank you to Xin'an TV and Director Liu for your strong support, and other leaders should not be disappointed. We are about to start the second round of auctions for broadcast rights. You can take a break to prepare."

If one round of broadcast rights is about finding a gimmick and harvesting ratings, then the second round is about continuing to attract fans and is aimed at ratings.

It's still a secret shooting mode, but this time the top three with the highest prices are selected.

Therefore, when Jiang Peian announced the start of the auction for the second round of broadcast rights, except for Xinan TV, several other leaders quickly wrote down their psychological prices.

In the end, Blue Channel won the second-round broadcast rights at a price of 6 per episode, Mango Channel at a price of 5.5 per episode, and Modu Channel at a price of [-] per episode.

As for the three-round broadcast rights, Xin'an Province, Beijing TV, Mango TV, Modu TV, and Suzhou TV won.

Although the second-round broadcast rights have been obtained, the TV station is not only the provincial channel, but also has many sub-channels below, and everyone wants ratings.

In the end, the price of the three rounds of broadcast rights was added up, and the price of "Star You" directly exceeded 800 million.

"Thank you, thank you for your strong support, "Star You" will definitely not disappoint everyone."

Jiang Peian and Wuershan stood on the stage and said to everyone with smiles.

"Mr. Jiang and Director Wu are too polite."

"Haha, everyone's visit was not in vain this time."

"The mission is accomplished, and the big stone in my heart has finally fallen to the ground."

Everyone said with relief.

"Dear leaders, meals have been prepared for noon. Everyone must have a good time today. At least they will be happier than last night."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"Hahaha, thank you Mr. Jiang for your hospitality."

"That's for sure. Everyone had something on their minds yesterday, and they were keeping it under wraps. This time, we won't come back until we get drunk."

"Don't get drunk, don't go home!"

……

A few days later, Xin'an TV Station started promoting and building momentum for "Star You".

It is the crew's responsibility to build publicity for the new drama, but Xinan TV still invited Jiang Pei'an to attend a promotional event.

"Star You", whether it is the production sophistication or plot synopsis, or Jiang Pei'an's personal influence, has allowed this TV series to receive the greatest publicity in a very short period of time.

In particular, Xin'an TV won this TV series at a sky-high price of 11 yuan per episode, which caused a wave of public opinion frenzy.

"Oh my God, Xin'an TV is not going to make a living anymore. It's 11 yuan per episode. This is going crazy."

"Xin'an TV is famously wealthy. Their main business is TV dramas. It's not surprising that they won this one."

"Xin'an TV Station stole the show this time. It will probably set a new price record for domestic idol dramas."

"Am I the only one who thinks this TV series is very good? When will it be aired?

Just from the trailer, you can see the hard work of the production team. Director Jiang really loves what he does.

Whether it's filming a movie or a TV series, it's all very good! "

Everyone's discussion about "Star You" is very hot, and Xin'an TV did not disappoint the audience and directly promoted the broadcast on December 12.

Even the promotional slogan is particularly interesting:
This winter, watch the first snowfall with the one you love most.

And this move was also directly joked that he wanted to compete with the bearded "Dragon Babu".

The external broadcast time of "Dragon" has been determined, December 12th.

One is a veteran IP, Jin Yong’s martial arts drama with many fans.

One is a love idol drama that quickly broke out of the industry with its marketing at a sky-high price.

……

At the same time, Jiang Pei'an's "Pumping Heartbeat" has also entered the marketing stage.

The production of the movie has been completed. As Jiang Pei'an's first film after leaving China Film Group, everyone is staring at Spark Entertainment and Jiang Pei'an.

After seeing the promotional trailer of "Heartbeat", everyone couldn't help but have an idea.

Director Jiang is... in love?

Whether it's a TV series or a movie, they are all about love.

This year's Lunar New Year stalls are also fiercely competitive. Feng Xiaogang, who has been absent from the Lunar New Year stalls for a year, quickly returned with his "Mobile Phone".

"Love in the Year of the Sheep" directed by Yingda is also scheduled to be released at the end of the year.

Lunar New Year films are difficult to make. This is the consensus of all directors since their birth in China.

In the past, Feng Xiaogang's mountain was difficult to climb, but now Jiang Pei'an stepped in and erected a higher mountain.

Lao Mouzi did not participate this year. He was still immersed in the joy brought by "Hero".

Director Chen is still absent from 2003, but it is almost here. His super masterpiece that has been criticized by many people is still two years away from being released...

But none of this can stop Jiang Pei'an from moving forward, because it's almost the end of the year.

"Pumping Heartbeat" will be released soon...
