China Entertainment: The happiness of being a director is as simple as that

Chapter 101 Finalized
Lu Pingan continued to ask: "Did the bonus that the movie gave you come in handy?"

"Maybe it's not famous enough. Movies and TV shows are different."

"That's true."

Dong Xuan's performance in the film this time did not cause any controversy. It's nothing more than showing her back and not showing her point.

On the contrary, because she is beautiful, has a good figure, and is a miserable horse in the film, many people remember her.

But this is only a small fire, it is limited, and it will pass soon after the movie is released.

If Dong Xuan is like Yan Danchen in "Yuan", then he will kill both worlds.

It's a pity that her most brilliant scene in "Time and Space" was cut off, if she showed some
Well, if it's dewy, maybe I have to go to Britain to study.

Then Lu Pingan said again: "Give me your director's phone number."

"You want to help me?" Dong Xuan's eyes lit up immediately, and her heart softened.

"It's helping myself."

Lu Pingan told the truth.

"Thank you!"

Dong Xuan didn't care about it, she was overjoyed and gave the number directly, and then said, "I'll talk to the producer first."

After more than ten minutes, she finished the call and happily said that Producer Li was very grateful to him, and we can chat later.

After accepting the number, the banquet continued. After more than an hour, everyone moved to KTV.

Everyone sang, and Lu Pingan directly called several TV stations. After explaining the situation, everyone said they could chat.

Then Lu Pingan called the producer of "Goddess Dragon".

Then the two parties agreed to watch the film in Beijing tomorrow.

Continue to sing after making an appointment, Liu Qianqian's singing is not special, why is she going to debut in Neon in the future?

When the song reached 11 o'clock, everyone left the venue one after another, and the hotel room upstairs was opened, so that a bunch of drunks could be taken care of.

The next day, when the appointed time came, Dong Xuan and the producer of "Goddess Dragon" Li Peng.

The two sides met and thanked each other for a while.

"Director Lu, thank you this time."

"Producer Li doesn't need to thank me so quickly, I haven't watched the film yet."

"Guide Lu, don't worry, the quality of the film is definitely not bad."

After a brief chat, they set off for Xingchen Company.

Along the way, Li Peng talked about the difficulties he encountered in selling the film, which was the same as Lu Ping'an knew, the low cost, the plot was a little naive, and there were no bright stars, etc.

But it is definitely possible to sell, and Li Peng also has his own contacts.

But the problem is that the price is not high, and it is too different from his expectation.

"How much do you want to sell?"

Lu Pingan asked.

"At least [-] episodes in the first round, and it needs to be sold to more than four TV stations, so that we can get back the cost."

Li Peng didn't hide it either.

He knew Lu Ping'an's name.

Although Lu Ping'an has nothing to do in the TV drama circle, his connections cannot be counted that way.

If people are willing to help you publish, they probably have a lot of confidence.

Even if he is not sure, it is still a way to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. After all, Li Peng himself has indeed hit too many walls.

After hearing this, Lu Pingan felt that there was some reason why he couldn't sell it.

This year Zhang Jizhong's "Dragon Babu" is 7 episodes, which is already a "sky-high price".

"Goddess Dragon" sells for 2 yuan. Compared with other general martial arts movies, this price is actually an average, but as a "three no bad movie", it is indeed a bit higher.

"What's your bottom line?"

Lu Pingan continued to ask.

Li Peng shook his head helplessly: "There is no bottom line, as long as it can be sold."

That's more or less.

TV series are the same as movies, broadcasting is the most important thing, if it cannot be broadcasted, it is useless to say anything.

Li Peng has this mental preparation, and Xingchen Company will be able to operate in the future.

Then came to the company, Lu Pingan asked people to prepare for the screening.

Xingchen Company has its own screening room, and "Goddess Dragon" is an electronic copy, so it is not difficult to play.

While waiting, Lu Pingan took a few people to visit the showroom.

Start watching the movie after a while.

To be on the safe side, Li Peng brought all 45 episodes.

It will take more than a day to see everything without fast forwarding.

Of course, Lu Pingan wouldn't read them all, he would only spend an afternoon skipping and watching.

And this is already quite serious.

After watching the film one afternoon, Li Peng helped introduce a lot. Lu Pingan revisited the plot and felt that there was no difference, so in the end he and Li Peng expressed their opinions: "Will the film be sold or not?"

Li Peng: "???"

Lu Pingan said with a smile: "You sell this film to me, the price is negotiable."

Li Peng: "This, I have to think about it."

"You can think about it, how much does your film cost, less than 500 million?"

"almost."

"Can you sell for double the profit?"

"this..."

"The current situation is that 90 episodes can't be sold, and [-] episodes are worth [-]. Even if you sell five TV stations, it's not easy to get back the money, right?"

"...Actually, you can get your money back."

"How long will that take?"

Lu Pingan continued to persuade, "I offer 600 million, and I can pay now, think about it?"

Lu Pingan offered 600 million yuan, and Li Peng immediately fell into hesitation.

The total cost of this film was actually less than 400 million. At first, he thought it could make a lot of money.

But in fact, he has been very shaken these days.

The TV stations in the mainland have a high vision, and it is really not easy to sell.

The most important thing about TV dramas is that they can be broadcast. If they are broadcast, they can be bought by the TV station. If they don’t buy it, it will be a loss.

Now Pingan Road is willing to buy, and the bid is good. If it is 600 million, it can make a 50% profit, which is very good.

In this way, the financial pressure can be instantly relieved, and investors can also make money. Everyone is happy.

But the problem is that Lu Ping'an is so optimistic, which makes him hesitate.

At this moment, Lu Pingan pulled Li Peng over and said in a low voice, "You must not tell Dong Xuan about my purchase of the film."

Li Peng looked puzzled, and immediately revealed a clear meaning: "You mean..."

Lu Pingan gave a look: "Secret it!"

Li Peng nodded slowly, he knew the reason why Lu Pingan spent a lot of money.

Although he still had doubts, he also decided to call the price again.

"This film has poured my heart and soul into it..."

"650 million!"

"Director Lu, that's not what I meant."

"700 million, no more, or I'll take a new one for her."

"800, okay?"

"718 is all right, let's make it auspicious!"

"788 is also fine."

"718, that's it, I can send you the money now."

"..."

The two rubbed back and forth in the viewing room.

When they finally came out, the two smiled happily.

Dong Xuan was very happy, it seemed that Lu Pingan would indeed help.

After the matter was settled, Lu Pingan won the film at a price of 718 million.

Then I met with the person in charge of the appointed TV station.

As for Li Peng and Dong Xuan, they were handed over to Wu Guohua for entertainment.

When they arrived at the hotel, Lu Ping'an had dinner with Deputy Director Li and Director of Film Purchase of Jingcheng TV.

In fact, in this kind of business situation, the quality of the film is second, and after all, it is the circle of contacts.

It was brought by the deputy director of the director's office for film purchases, and deputy director Li met during the promotion of "Yuan". The introducer was Han Sanpin, and this was his old classmate. It's okay, both of them value Lu Ping'an, and Lu Ping'an is famous, even if the status of the two parties is actually not equal, Deputy Director Li is willing to make friends.

With the stepping stones and the door opened, it will be easier to talk about it next, and it will be even easier if there is some resource exchange.

Lu Ping'an will not really regard himself as a great director now, and make it so powerful.

So when we meet each other, we still have to give what should be given, and do what should be done well. He is the deputy director of the station, and the administrative level is not low.

The etiquette is done, the two sides chatted a few words about the upcoming movie, Lu Pingan also said directly, if you have friends or something, you can come and play, good roles may not be given, generally there is no problem.

That's what Deputy Director Li wanted. He has a daughter who is a screenwriter, and she can be named in Lu Ping'an's movie, which means she has a lot of qualifications.

The next step is to talk about the movie, and the chat will be over after a brief chat, and the official movie will be watched tomorrow.

After the banquet was over, Lu Pingan arranged for the next one. Deputy Director Li waved his hand, saying that there is no need to do this between us.

Well, then give tea, both of you.

It's the rules of the game.

Secretary Dong and Uncle Liao taught him a lot.

Lu Pingan didn't feel inferior either.

This is the first time. Once the cooperation is successful, the next time will be completely easy.

Society is like this, if you play well, you can play bigger and bigger.

This is how the film industry came about. Now, except for a few people, who would not give him a little bit of face?
On the second day, Lu Pingan went to Jingcheng Terrace together.

After briefly watching the first three episodes, the purchasing director talked about some advantages and disadvantages. He looked good and professional, and it didn't sound like he would buy it.

In the end, when the subject changed, our bid was not high, at most 2 yuan, and the time schedule could not be that good.

Doing business with these people is comfortable, anyway, the money is not their own.

However, Lu Pingan still said: "Let's change to a better time slot, the money can be less, we can have a bet, and we will pay as much as the ratings exceed, and if you fall below the lower limit, you can withdraw at any time, how about it. "

The ratings of "Goddess Dragon" will explode, so it is natural to maximize the benefits if possible.

But the other party felt that Lu Ping'an was giving each other face. After all, this drama would indeed be a bit high if it was released at [-] yuan. In addition, if the ratings were low, it would be troublesome for everyone if they didn't withdraw the show.

Therefore, if the price is lower, there will be withdrawal insurance, so that everyone will be better off.

In terms of benefits, it will not have much impact. TV stations buy TV dramas, and the income is divided into pre-roll advertisements and TV advertisements.

The higher the ratings, the higher the advertising fee before the TV broadcast, which cannot be earned by the film studio.

So betting can be done.

Then things settled down quickly.

The first round is still 10 episodes, and the ratings are gambled step by step, up to [-] episodes, but it is basically impossible to reach it.

The pre-roll advertisements are divided into 7-[-] points, up to [-] points, and [-] pieces per piece.

The file is scheduled for July, at 7:8 pm during the summer vacation.

Unless Deputy Director Li is taken down, the matter will be finalized.

Lu Pingan did the math. If it was based on 8 episodes, it would earn 360 million yuan. After several rounds of broadcasts, according to the spread of "Goddess Dragon", this wave of stars may earn a lot.

And the pre-roll ads are also a big profit.

The movie is so popular, can't post ten or eight advertisements at the end of the movie?
And each episode is different, and there are too many ways here.

not bad!
After the end, Lu Pingan had another meal with the purchasing director and gave some tea.

After the show ended, Lu Pingan went to the airport to see Li Peng off. Li Peng held Lu Pingan's hand and thanked him again and again, and finally said: "Don't worry, Director Lu, I believe this film will definitely be liked by everyone, and I will never let you down, your daughter Friends will definitely be on fire, too."

Lu Pingan: "...don't spread the word."

Li Peng: "Don't worry, I understand everything."
