China Entertainment: Return to 2007

Chapter 122 Yang Mi’s helplessness

"Old Zhao, are you a bit unreasonable? You don't have to do this to fool us, right?"

"Yes, a hit drama can skyrocket the ratings for a period of time.

Didn't you lie too much? "

"I haven't heard of any big-budget pilots recently? What kind of hit drama can be so awesome?"

In the audience, the heads of various channels complained one after another.

Lao Zhao looked helpless and said: "Everything I say is true, why don't you believe it?"

"Go, do you think we are 250?"

"He talks a lot about falsehoods but doesn't tell the truth."

Old Zhao: "..."

On the stage, seeing that no one in charge believed it, the director laughed and scolded: "Okay, what Lao Zhao said is true. He got lucky this time and picked up a big hit drama with excellent long-tail effect.
This beast now broadcasts two consecutive episodes at 07:30 every night, rebroadcasts in the morning, and rebroadcasts again at noon.

Just by relying on this method, he suddenly raised the ratings by a whole level! "

"Fuck! What TV series is so awesome?!"

After listening to the director's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

Lao Zhao said proudly: "It's nothing, it's just the movie "Step by Step" co-produced by Xu Getang and Renren."

"What? It's the movie "Step by Step" that doesn't have any famous stars and is all second-tier newcomer actors?"

"It's Xu Ge again, this guy really has the ability to turn stone into gold? How come all his projects have exploded?!"

In terms of investment in "Bu Bu Jing Xin", it is only 2 million, which is in the middle range.

In terms of actors, Luo Jin, Liu Shishi, Chen Xiao, Lin Gengxin, and Yuan Hong are all newbies.

That is to say, with the name of screenwriter Xu Ge and the blessing of director Li Guoli,

Only then was he able to gain access to Shonan Satellite TV and get the opportunity to pilot the show.

As a result, this project, which was originally a mid-level project in everyone's minds, became a hit after only three days of trial broadcast. Even reruns can trigger a ratings frenzy.

Everyone present knows that if the subsequent plot does not collapse,

Maybe Lao Zhao just relies on Bubu Jingxin, and it is really possible to win the throne of second child!
After coming to this conclusion, everyone couldn't help but feel envious, jealous and hateful.
Especially the person in charge of the TV drama channel, but his eyes almost popped out of jealousy.

Cai Yinong found him first at first.
But after watching two episodes, he felt that the show had no famous stars and was mainly about tragedy, so the audience would not be large.
So the conditions offered were less than ideal.

In the end, he was intercepted by Lao Zhao next door.

Apart from him, Lao Wang is also restless. He has been sitting firmly in the second position for many years and is about to get the high position of deputy director.

But he didn't want to have Bubu startled him halfway and disrupted all his steps.

"Old Zhao, keep working hard." Ignoring everyone's different thoughts, the station director encouraged: "The quality of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" is extremely high, and the ratings will go up as expected.
This drama did well and did not embarrass us. "

"Thank you, Director, I will continue to work hard." Lao Zhao nodded and smiled.

....................................

As expected, as the plot progressed and word-of-mouth fermented, the ratings of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" continued to rise.

In the second week, as the plot passed halfway, when Ruoxi begged for Thirteen and knelt in the rain for a day and a night, Fourteen desperately went to Kangxi to plead for mercy. The Fourth Master protected her from the wind and rain, but the Eighth Master was late when he wanted to send an umbrella.
The entanglement between Ruoxi and her elder brothers made the audience unable to stop watching.
Because of this, the ratings exploded!
"First, Hunan Satellite TV, the national average ratings last week were 1.9%, and the provincial share was 46.8%."

"Second, for film and television channels, the province's average ratings last week were 0.78%, and the province's share was 13.7%."

"Third, for entertainment channels, the province's average ratings last week were 0.76%, and the province's share was 13.1%."

Pharaoh: "..."

Everyone: "..."

In the conference room, when the director read out a series of data expressionlessly, everyone was stunned.

Despite knowing that this scene is likely to happen,

But no one expected that this scene would happen so quickly.

It has only been aired for ten days, and with just one movie "Bu Bu Jing Xin", Wannian Lao Er Entertainment Channel was killed!

This caused Lao Wang so much pain, how pitiful he was, he was so damn ready to ascend the throne, but when he turned around, he found that there was someone in that position.
How could he accept this?

But it’s still early before the end of the year, and it’s still unclear who will win.

Lao Wang made up his mind that when Bu Bu Jing Xin finished broadcasting, he would take back his second position and never let Lao Zhao become arrogant!

"Old Zhao, you stay here for a while, the others will leave first."

The stage director gave the order and everyone dispersed.

Only Old Zhao was left before the meeting, and the station director motioned him over: "Old Zhao, I'll give you a task. You go and negotiate with Cai Yinong to see how much she plans to sell for the premiere rights to "Bu Bu Jing Xin"?"

"Director, what's our base price?" Lao Zhao asked.

"The base price," the station director pondered for a moment, then smiled: "First quote 150 million. If she refuses, you can contact me again and I will make the quotation myself."

...............................

"150 million?! Is Xiangnan Satellite TV trying to get away with it?!"

On the crew of "Monster Hunt", during the lunch break, in the director's lounge, Xu Ge held up his mobile phone and sneered: "Tell them, if you don't have 200 million episodes, don't even think about it!"

On the other end of the phone, Cai Yinong agreed: "Yes, "Step by Step" is only halfway through its broadcast, and they can't wait to buy the premiere rights. The ratings must have exploded.

Don’t even think about it if you don’t receive 250 million for an episode this time! "

Xu Ge: "..."

No, Lao Cai, are you really darker than me?

With the production cost of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" of 2500 million,

35 episodes, 200 million per episode, that’s 7 million.

After excluding the cost, it will make a huge profit of 3500 million, and this is just the first broadcast rights.
If you add various subsequent copyrights,

The net profit exceeds 5 million, which is no problem.

And now Cai Yinong opened his mouth to ask for 250 million, and earned a total of 35 million for 8750 episodes.
Earn more than 5 million directly!
This really surprised Xu Ge. After all, Zhang Beard's "The Deer and the Cauldron" only sold 200 million episodes last year.

"Director Xu, today is different from the past. The situation last year and this year are completely different." On the other end of the phone, Cai Yinong explained: "From the beginning of this year to now, both in front of the stage and behind the scenes, costs have begun to increase significantly.

"Step by Step" means it was shot early, otherwise if it were shot this year, the cost would have increased by at least 1 million! "

"The highest-selling one last year was The Deer and the Cauldron, which sold 200 million episodes.
But this year, I think 250 million is not much at all, what do you think? "

grass!You damn profiteer!
"I think what you said is right," Xu Ge nodded in approval while complaining in his heart: "I'll leave this matter to you. Anyway, we have the initiative now. Don't agree too early. Ask a few more TV stations. Ask about the price, maybe someone else offers a higher price?”

Cai Yinong: "..." Damn it, you damn profiteer!
"Okay, leave everything to me. I will definitely not disappoint Master and your expectations, and I will definitely find a good home for "Bu Bu Jing Xin".

After all, I am also Shishi’s mother-in-law..."

Xu Ge: "..."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ge shook his head and secretly said that Cai Yinong was not easy to deal with.

I originally thought that Cai Yinong would be satisfied if he gave half of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" to Sugar Man.

Who would have thought that Cai Yinong seemed to be relying on him.

Xu Ge felt a little headache when he thought about how she would use Liu Shishi as a bargaining chip and keep clinging to her to gain advantage.

After thinking about it, Xu Ge made up his mind. After "The Legend of Ancient Swords", Cai Yinong would not have to worry about knowing his appearance. For the sake of Liu Shishi and Hu Ge, it would not be impossible to give them a little benefit.

But if he is ignorant and greedy, hehe, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

With Xu Ge's current abilities, he has 100 ways to keep Cai Yinong honest in the face of the declining Sugar Man.

It's just that Xu Ge is a face-conscious person, and he really doesn't want to break his face until the last step.

"Xu Ge, stop being busy now and let's eat."

Ni Ni walked in with a smile, carrying two insulated lunch boxes.

She opened the lunch box and took out three dishes and one soup: fried beef with chili pepper, fish head with chopped pepper, stir-fried water spinach, and lotus root and pork ribs soup.

Since Xu Ge publicly promoted her to the throne, Ni Ni has moved closer and closer to the direction of a good wife and mother.

Nowadays, Ni Ni will carefully prepare almost every meal for Xu Ge by hand as long as he has time.

"Er Ni, thank you for your hard work." Xu Ge held Ni Ni's hand moved and motioned Ni Ni to sit down. Xu Ge filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Ni Ni: "Here, I'll feed you the soup."

"I'll do it myself." Ni Ni took a sip of the soup and saw Xu Ge coming to feed her again. She smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm not without hands or feet. You'd better eat your own food. Feed yourself first." Bar."

"But I'm just feeding myself," Xu Ge said seriously: "If you don't believe it, look, don't I have to eat a big meal now?"

After saying that, without waiting for Ni Ni's reaction, Xu Ge hugged Ni Ni directly, kissed her red lips gently,

The next moment, Ni Ni was in a state of confusion...

After a long time, Xu Ge was full of food and beautiful, and started to eat.

While eating the food, Xu Ge asked: "Er Ni, what do you think of Chen Xiao?"

"Very good." Ni Ni straightened her messy hair and said sincerely: "Little Chen has a good image, good temperament, and good acting skills. The most important thing is that he is very humble and understands etiquette. He is a good youngster worth cultivating.

It's perfect for you to ask him to be the leading actor. "

"Erni, aren't you afraid of making me jealous when you say that?" Xu Ge joked: "Praising another man in front of your boyfriend is a taboo for a girlfriend!"

"Then what do you think of Master Liu and Yang Mi?" Ni Ni shot back.

Xu Ge: "..."

"Ahem, Erni, I know I was wrong, let's talk about something else." Xu Ge changed the subject shamelessly.

Ni Ni stopped when he saw good things: "Chen Xiao is indeed very good, at least he is not as troublesome as you."

Xu Ge: "..."

Oh my god, woman, why are you so petty?It’s not over, right?
"Okay, I won't make you happy anymore." Ni Ni smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't forget your oath, I will definitely not make it difficult for you."

Xu Gechang breathed a sigh of relief: "Er Ni, you are so kind."

.......................................

On the occasion of the hot trial broadcast of "Bu Bu Jing Xin", on this day, after nearly four months of filming, the crew of "Wei Wei" finally completed filming.

"Yang Mi, I'm sorry, the wedding banquet has been arranged and we must arrive at night."

After putting away the last materials, Lin Yufen immediately extended an invitation to Yang Mi.

"Thank you, Director Lin, I will be there on time." Not daring to show off in front of Lin Yufen, Yang Mi nodded honestly.

Lin Yufen smiled, turned around and said to Zhao Liying: "Liying, help me get something later, and we will go to the hotel together."

"Okay, Miss Yufen."

Zhao Liying is very popular. During the six months she has been on the set, from the director Lin Yufen to the actors behind the scenes, almost everyone dislikes her.

"Liying, congratulations. "The Legend of Ancient Swords" is a good drama. You must grasp this role well." Walking up to Zhao Liying, Yang Mi said with a sincere face.

With the completion of "Wei Wei", "The Legend of Ancient Sword" is about to be launched.

Zhao Liying was selected by Xu Ge to play the second female lead, and this matter has already spread.

"Thank you, Sister Mimi. With your care and support, I will not be afraid of any difficulties." Zhao Liying replied with a hint.

"Haha, then keep going, you will become the heroine one day." Yang Mi patted Zhao Liying on the shoulder encouragingly.

Zhao Liying nodded: "Don't worry, with Sister Mimi's example, I will definitely do it."

Yang Mi: "..."

Back in the nanny car, Yang Mi's smiling face immediately dropped.

"Mimi, don't take it to heart. This Zhao Liying is just a villain and won't be rampant for long." Seeing Yang Mi's depressed look, Zeng Jia couldn't help but comfort her.

"Hmph, you think that because Xu Ge looks at her differently, you can ignore me. Do you really think that Xu Ge will treat her as a treasure?

Damn, I didn’t even look in the mirror to see your appearance and figure. How dare you compete with me for Xu Ge just because you are a skinny bumpkin? ! "

Speaking of Zhao Liying, Yang Mi suddenly became furious.

Since the last time she went to Xu Ge Hotel at night and was discovered by Zhao Liying, Zhao Liying's attitude towards her has undergone subtle changes.

Earlier, when Zhao Liying faced her, she almost worshiped and respected her, and her attitude was extremely humble.

But now, although Zhao Liying still calls her "Sister Mimi" affectionately on the surface,
But Yang Mi knew full well that Zhao Liying never really regarded her as her sister anymore.
The two people have drifted apart because of Xu Ge, and they will never be able to return to their previous close state.

"Mimi, although you have a great advantage, Zhao Liying must not be underestimated," Zeng Jia reminded: "This person is very good at winning people's hearts. Most of the entire crew praised her highly. In addition, Jiahua has no Ye Hua Xiang, you must hurry up and capture Xu Ge, don’t let this little vixen fisherman take advantage of you!”

"Don't worry, I know it well." Yang Mi waved her hand, feeling helpless in her heart.

Previously, the news about Xu Ge and Ni Ni and Liu Shishi had been making noise all over the world.
There is another Zhao Liying here.
Although Da Mi Mi has a big heart, she still feels a little powerless in the face of three powerful enemies.

"Mimi, Xu Ge will definitely come to the wedding banquet tonight. You have to seize the opportunity." Zeng Jia held Yang Mi's hand and said seriously: "Mimi, listen to my advice and calm down your temper a little. Xu Ge is a man who takes soft things rather than hard things. You must not make the same mistake again and again.

I have put my future on you, so don't let me down. "

Yang Mi: "..."
