The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 247 "Reply 1988" Single Episode High

On November 2003, 11, Yanjing Liangmahe Building, Fenghua Film and Television Company.

It's movie time again.

This time, the ones who came to buy dramas were still Shonan, Shanghai City, Gusu, and Zhejiang Satellite TV.

The first three satellite TVs are living a very good life now, and their co-produced dramas with Fenghua Film and Television Company are in full swing.

And after cooperating with Fenghua, they cultivated their own screenwriting talents, gradually imitating Fenghua's scripts, and began to create their own.

Shonan Satellite TV has the fastest action and has already filmed two idol dramas. Although the plots are a bit shocking, the ratings are acceptable, with an average rating of [-].

This incident left Shonan Satellite TV's executives a little speechless. They had been thinking of cooperating with Wanwan and copying Wanwan's works for reference, but the results were mediocre.

Now that she is studying Fenghua drama, she has achieved very good results.

If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have chosen the near for the far, what kind of twists and turns should I look for, and it would be great to just learn from Fenghua dramas.

This matter has almost become the consensus of Shonan Satellite TV from top to bottom.

Now they treat Wanwan's director and screenwriter, and their attitude has dropped a notch. It is generally believed that Wanwan's dramas, especially Qiong Yao's dramas, are outdated.

Gusu Satellite TV and Shanghai Satellite TV are also learning the creative style of Fenghua dramas, and the idol dramas borrowed from them are already being filmed.

As for Zhejiang Satellite TV, since the last broadcast of "Da Shang Gong", the ratings broke through [-], and there has been no outstanding performance in the follow-up.

They actually spent a lot of money to buy the drama later, but unfortunately the effect was not satisfactory.

Gu Huaiqiu now thinks Fenghua drama is better.

This time he has prepared enough funds, and he hopes to buy it exclusively, but the other three probably won't agree.

The four of them had their own thoughts, and then entered the viewing room together.

Li Shengyao returned to Yanjing with "Please Answer 1988". After it was submitted for trial, nothing happened for the time being.

So he stayed, and at the end of the month, he will participate in the Fei Tian Award.

This time four old friends came, and he personally received them.

He didn't follow up with the viewing room, and returned to his office, waiting quietly.

An hour and a half later, Zhou Xuan and Gu Huaiqiu came out with red eyes.

Zhong Dahui's nose was also red, probably from snot and tears.

Seeing this, Li Shengyao breathed a sigh of relief. The actors hadn't shown this play yet. He, Chen Xiaoxia, and Qi Qin had watched the complete film before.

Chen Xiaoxia and Qi Qin are both emotionally sensitive people, and such people agree to be emotional.

But these four directors are different. For example, Gu Huaiqiu has been a soldier and has always been determined.

Such people's eyes turn red when they look at it. It can be seen that this drama can really move people.

Li Shengyao is still not sure if he can win the award, but he knows that this drama is successful and can touch people. It can be said that as a producer, he has done his best.

He sat down and waited quietly for the four directors to recover.

After a while, Zhou Xuan took the lead and said: "Director Li, the drama I filmed this time is really good, even better than "Da Shang Palace" and "Signal". This is a drama that can really touch people's hearts."

Zhong Dahui nodded, "This time I will follow up and watch all of this drama. I will also buy a set of DVDs and watch them when I have time."

It's not that a 40-year-old man doesn't understand youth, he doesn't have youth.

They also experienced the same age as the flowers.

Not to mention that "Reply 1988" also has a lot of family and friendship-related dramas.

"Director Li, Shonan Satellite TV wants to broadcast this show exclusively. What's your expectation?"

Zhou Xuan has studied the preferences of Chinese people in watching dramas.

He felt that Chinese people especially liked watching period dramas.

Because China has undergone earth-shaking changes in recent decades, no matter what age group people are, they are all pushed forward by the torrent of the times, and their youth is fleeting.

In this case, they especially like to remember.

This is the most nostalgic and memorable country in the world.

He felt that "Reply 1988" would definitely become a hit, and he hoped to broadcast it exclusively.

Zhong Dahui and Gu Huaiqiu all rolled their eyes when they heard the words, and then said that they wanted to do the solo broadcast, and money was not a problem.

Li Shengyao expected that "Reply 1988" would be popular, but he didn't expect it to be so popular. Looking at the four directors who were arguing, he smiled and said, "Let's follow the rules from last time."

The last time "Da Shang Palace" was broadcast with four stars, this would disperse the ratings, but for the TV drama producers, it is actually easier to expand the influence of the TV drama, which is a good thing.

A few people in Zhonghui heard that they knew about such a drama, so it’s fine if they haven’t seen it. If they saw it, it would be impossible for other TV stations to broadcast it exclusively.

After thinking about it, he acquiesced to Li Shengyao's decision.

"The expected price on my side is 2000 million."

Last time, the price of "Da Shang Palace" was 800 million, and the price of a single episode was 40 per episode, which has broken the conventional price for buying dramas in the Mainland.

This time "Reply 1988" had a budget of 1000 million, and it was announced that it cost 500 million.

Given that the drama has a total of 45 episodes, Lee Sung Yew intends to sell it for 2000 million.

In this case, the price of a single episode of "Please Answer 1988" is a little higher than that of "Da Shang Palace". At this time, it can be said to be a sky-high price.

But if the four-star broadcasting is shared, and 500 million is bought for a 45-episode TV series with a higher national ratings, all four satellite TVs will make money.

After a little ratings, everyone is still confident.

The four of Zhong Dahui made eye contact, and they all nodded their heads as they thought it was okay.

Soon after, Fenghua Film and Television Company signed an agreement with the heads of the four major TV stations.

"Please Answer 1988" sold the first-round broadcast rights to the four David TVs at a price of 2000 million.

Externally, it is claimed that 3000 million dramas will be sold.

The four David TVs were in charge and left in a hurry. They all wanted to go back to their hometown as soon as possible, and then promote "Please Answer 1988". The big guys mean that it will be broadcast next month.

The weather in December is even colder. People who have been busy for a year are tired, and more people squat at home to watch TV.

Moreover, the 45 episodes can be released in January next year, when many colleges and universities will be on vacation, and they will be able to reap another wave of ratings.

Standing in front of the glass window, Li Shengyao quietly looked at the avenue downstairs, the tree-lined Liangma River, and the park where many old people gathered.

This moment seems to be frozen, but time is still striding forward. Before you know it, it still takes many steps.

Time flies, this year has passed too fast, and it will be the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

At the beginning of the year, "Da Shang Gong" performed well, and now Hao Lei is still shooting commercials everywhere.

He hopes that "Reply 1988" will also achieve excellent results when it is broadcast.

This drama is a period drama, maybe the island country in Southeast Asia can watch it, but it is not necessarily the case in the big oil country, Southern Magnesia.

Hope to have a good result.
