China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 50 "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" aired

Yan Danchen felt numb as he read each article vividly and vividly, with pictures of two people sitting with their backs facing each other.
  If she hadn't been the one involved, she would have really thought that these inaccurate news were what they were.

Immediately afterwards, she received calls from some close friends.

"Danchen, did you really have a conflict with Director Wang?" Xu Huanhuan asked in surprise.

She and Yan Danchen are classmates, and they worked together on "Jingwei Reclamation" after graduation.

When Yan Danchen was in school, she was not only the class beauty, but also the school beauty.

"Anything that doesn't exist is just those entertainment reporters talking nonsense." Yan Danchen said angrily.

"Then why are you sitting back to back and acting like you have a grudge?" Xu Huanhuan wondered, how could this happen if there was no conflict?
  "Oops, I won't be able to explain for a while." Yan Danchen scratched his head and added in annoyance, "I happened to be chatting with Director Wang that day, and we started joking with Director Wang while we were chatting."

"Who knew those unscrupulous media would pick up rumors and take quotes out of context!"

"So that's it." Xu Huanhuan was stunned, and then said with some envy, "You have a really good relationship with Director Wang."

She was truly envious.

Although she had earlier appeared in "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", she also played the female lead in the costume martial arts TV series "Justice for the World", and also appeared in "The Shadow of the Shadow" with Huang Haibin and Fan Binbin.

But, there is no fire.

On the other hand, Zhao Yanzi, who was in the same class, has already become famous all over the country.

"I will introduce you to Director Wang when I have the opportunity in the future." Yan Danchen felt the sadness of his classmates and said with a smile.

Like Xu Huanhuan, she is already in her thirties and has always been popular but not popular.

In a few years, after the actress's prime period, life will become even more difficult.

"Yeah, thank you Danchen for still thinking of me as an old classmate. When you are not busy anymore, I will treat you to dinner." Xu Huanhuan said with a smile.

"Haha. Then I won't be polite." Yan Danchen said with the same smile.

"Haha." Xu Huanhuan smiled, and then said, "The drama between you and Director Wang will be broadcast soon, right?"

She has seen a lot of publicity about "My Girlfriend is a Nine-tailed Fox", whether it is the starring role in the Berlin award-winning film "Buried Alive", or the Berlin award-winning film director's first TV series, etc., as well as the news of the TV series being scheduled, She learned some information in her daily life.

"Well, soon." Yan Danchen replied softly.

"Haha, then I hope you become as popular as Zhao Yanzi with this drama." Xu Huanhuan smiled and gave his blessing.

"I don't dare to think about this." Yan Danchen said mournful words. The impact of reality and the growth of age had somewhat dampened her spirits.

Although at school, she was the school beauty.

But in the entertainment industry, she knew it was difficult to catch up with Zhao Yanzi.

It’s not that I haven’t caught up.

I really can’t catch up.

Tuesday, October 9th.

The idol drama "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" officially premieres on Mango TV during the evening prime time.

For the distribution of this drama, Wang Shu handed it over to Raytheon after the production was successful.

He had no idea how light worked. He only knew that the show would premiere on Mango TV.

Wang Shu actually expected this.

Because there are only four primary markets for TV dramas: Beijing, Shonan, Anhui, and Modu, and 70% of distributors will choose to distribute TV dramas in these four places.

In the second secondary market, there are 60 regions, and about % of distributors will resort to the next best option to distribute TV series in these places.

The next tertiary market is a non-mainstream market with only seven regions (provinces and municipalities). Less than 60% of publishers will choose this as the next best option. Finally, there is the fourth-tier market. There are only two regions, one is West Z and the other is Qing H. Less than 50% of publishers will choose these two places.

At first, Wang Changtian wanted the drama "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" to be broadcast on Yangshi, and even mentioned it in front of Han Sanping during the audition of "The Tuner".

In the end, due to some reasons, it failed to do so and it premiered on Mango TV instead.

The TV series "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" with a total of 50 episodes was sold to Mango TV for a price of 1200W per episode, totaling 24W.

Here alone, the cost has been recovered.

According to international practice, the price of a TV series purchased by a TV station should account for 40% of the advertising revenue when the TV series is broadcast.

There is no such thing in China, and the maximum is 20%.

At present, the acquisition price of TV series with higher production level by mainstream TV stations is 60-65W per episode.

The price of an episode of "My Girlfriend is a Nine-tailed Fox" is only 50W, which is neither high nor low.

Obviously, Mango TV can offer this price after watching the finished film, combined with the premise that the award-winning director Wang Shulin, as well as the cast of Yan Danchen, Dong Xuan, Zhang Hanyu, etc. are pretty good, as well as considering various aspects such as light distribution. Just achieved it.

Otherwise, the price may be even lower.

After the millennium, despite the booming development of TV dramas, the production sector has been losing money. On the contrary, TV stations can make a lot of money relying on various popular dramas.

The total investment amount of TV drama production companies every year can be 50 to 60 billion, and the funds recovered from the market are about 20 billion, with a difference of 40 billion.

Especially in an era when the Internet is booming and piracy is rampant, DVDs cannot be sold, and life is even more difficult.

12000 episodes of TV series are produced in a year, but TV stations have limited prime time slots. Only about 5000 episodes of TV series can be broadcast in prime time slots in a year.

In the field of domestic TV dramas, supply has always exceeded demand.

And this also gives the TV station the confidence to lower prices.

"My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" had a ratings of 5.1% on its first day of broadcast, which is a decent figure, neither high nor low.

Wang Shu breathed a sigh of relief after learning the news from the company.

If this data is placed in 2005, it should be ranked among the top twenty TV series in terms of annual ratings.

this is a good news.

Although it is far inferior to popular dramas such as "Beijing Smoke and Clouds", "Bright Sword", and "Emperor of Han Dynasty" that were broadcast in 2005 with huge ratings.

However, it can be considered a good start.

At the very least, these ratings show that his first TV series will not be a hit.

On the second day of broadcast, the ratings increased, reaching 5.6%.

This made Wang Shu look forward to it. Since it has risen, does it mean that it can continue to rise?
  6%、7%、8%、9%，甚至10%都不是梦？

Wang Shuke knew that after "Beijing Smoke and Clouds" was broadcast on Yangshi 10 in October, the total ratings reached 8.78%.

Although it has not been aired yet, he already knows that this drama will dominate the TV drama ratings in 2005.

Now that the ratings of "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" are rising, Wang Shu can't help but imagine that the Nine-Tailed Fox can beat "Beijing Yanyun" in the ratings.

It's just that fantasy is beautiful, but reality is skinny.

On the third day of the broadcast of "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox", the ratings were only 5.8%, which was only an increase of 0.2% from yesterday.

The distance is more than 8.78% and nowhere in sight.
