China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 15 Awesome Old Horse
  Ma Guangfa said seriously: "Mr. Li, we can simply ignore these powerful TV stations in Beijing, Xiangnan, and Zhejiang Province.

They have no shortage of good TV drama resources. Even if they don't broadcast new dramas, they can still get good ratings by just selecting old dramas from the copyright library and rebroadcasting them.

It is basically impossible for a small start-up company like us to get their attention.

Even if they buy our drama, there is a high chance that it will sit in the library and gather dust, not knowing that it will be broadcast in the Year of the Monkey. "

Li Yu nodded slightly and signaled Ma Guangfa to continue.

“My suggestion is to find some TV stations that are average or even weak.

Their TV drama resources are relatively small, and they don’t have any good dramas on hand.

Some TV stations broadcast variety shows, reruns of old dramas, and even an hour-long underwear commercial all day long.

Sell ​​the show to them and a pilot should be arranged soon.

Also, our company’s first project is too poorly known from the director to the actors, so don’t even think about getting back the money for this first round of broadcast rights.

The most important thing is to sell the show and get it piloted as soon as possible.

As long as the quality of our drama is good enough and it arouses response, the second and third rounds of broadcasting rights can be profitable.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, even when starting a business.

If our first project can achieve good results, then the second project that follows will be much smoother.

At that time, we don’t need to contact the TV station ourselves. Maybe the TV station will take the initiative to contact us. "

Ma Guangfa knew that his young boss was a rich second generation.

He was worried that Li Yu was young and energetic and wanted to conquer the world in one step, so he spent so much time analyzing the current priorities.

Li Yu thought that Lao Ma was indeed a veteran who had been in the TV station for many years.

The evaluation of many TV stations is spot on.

As a native of Guangdong Province, Li Yu had seen many local stations in the province broadcast embarrassing underwear advertisements in the past few years.

Ma Guangfa's thoughts coincided with Li Yu's own thoughts.

In fact, Li Yu had no intention of making money in the domestic market.

If he only wants to make money in China, why doesn't he make a classic domestic TV series?

He chose the classic Silla drama "Full House" and had plans to sell the drama to various countries in East Asia and even Asia.

It doesn't matter to Li Yu whether he can make money domestically, as long as he doesn't lose money.

The most important thing is to increase the popularity and make the show popular.

As long as the show becomes popular, there is no need to worry about not selling it.

So Li Yu directly said to Ma Guangfa: "Lao Ma, I have one of the greatest advantages - I don't mess around in areas I don't understand.

You are the person in charge of our distribution department, and I have full authority to deal with the sales and sales matters to you.

Just tell me how to deal with it. "

Ma Guangfa is very happy that he can come to work in Hualiu, a small company, except that the boss Li Yu offers generous prices.

Another very important reason is that the boss Li Yu doesn't mess around.

When he was working as a worker in a TV station, he had seen too many leaders who were rigid and did not understand flexibility.

"Mr. Li, actually I already have a plan in mind.

I have an old colleague who switched jobs to Hanbei TV Station a few years ago. He is currently the leader of the film purchasing department.

If I can't think of anything unexpected, it should be piloted on the Hanbei Economic Channel. "

"Old Ma, yes! Then do as you say. We won't make any money in the first round. It doesn't matter if we sell it at a lower price. What we want is to pilot it as soon as possible." Li Yu's arrangements for Ma Guangfa are generally satisfied.

The Hanbei Economic Channel that Lao Ma mentioned is a local channel.

These days, if most TV dramas want to become stars, they have to be piloted on a small scale by local stations to see the response.

If the ratings are very good in the local area, it will be broadcast on the stars.

Lao Ma is already very powerful, although the Hanbei TV station he won is a bit weaker than Xiangnan and other TV stations.

However, the Hanbei Economic Channel is considered a relatively strong local channel in the Hanbei region.

That's right, not only are satellite TV stations strong and weak, but local TV stations are also strong and weak.

Li Yu remembers that the "Dandelion" filmed by Sugar Man in Liancheng seemed to have also premiered on the Hanbei Economic Channel.

Of course, the response to Dandelion was mediocre and it didn’t create any waves.

But Li Yu is very confident about his Full House.

As long as this phenomenal idol drama is popular in Asia in the original world, if it is given a chance to be exposed, the collection rate will definitely not be bad, and maybe it will even form a spark that can start a prairie fire.

In the following period, Li Yu occasionally visited the company and spent most of his time in school.

Although I have already filmed my first movie in my life, I cannot let go of my homework.

Not to mention how good you got in the exam, you have to pass, right?
  If Full House becomes a hit and word spreads that someone from Beijing Film Academy failed the director test, that won’t sound good.

In addition to daily life at school, Li Yu also had several phone calls with Yan Danchen.

Yan Danchen is quite cool. No one is looking for her to film anymore. She went back to her hometown not long ago and sent Li Yu some specialties from Xiangnan Province.

After receiving the special product, Li Yu called Yan Danchen back: "Sister Yan, I have good news for you. Lao Ma has contacted the TV station, and our Full House will be broadcast on the TV station soon."

After all, Yan Danchen is an old man who has been around for several years, not a newbie like Luo Jin and Ma Wenlong. He screamed with excitement when he knew that the show would be airing soon.

Yan Danchen said calmly: "I may have to stay in my hometown for half a month. If it is not on the star, I probably won't be able to watch the premiere. Unless the premiere is on a local station here in Xiangnan."

“It’s definitely going to be a star, and I’m very confident in Full House.

Senior Sister Yan, cherish this last peaceful moment.

I bet that after Full House starts airing, you may not be able to go shopping like a normal person anymore. "

Li Yu set a flag.

"Okay, I'm waiting for the day when the star rating breaks two."

Yan Danchen has not forgotten the agreement she made with Li Yu.

Full House was aired on the star, and the collection rate exceeded 2. She signed with Li Yu's Hualiu Company.

To be honest, Yan Danchen himself didn’t believe that Full House could achieve such good results.

But there is always a dream, what if?
  Maybe this talented junior student really took her away in one fell swoop.

Among those who work hard in the entertainment industry, whether they are actors or actresses, who doesn’t want to be famous?
  Hong Kong's Man God said it very well. If she wasn't vain and didn't want to be famous, she wouldn't have entered the entertainment industry at all.

……

The time has come to July 7th, which happens to be the summer vacation. Full House is locked in the prime time slot of Hanbei Economic Channel tonight, and the first two episodes of Full House will be broadcast from 9 to o'clock.

People from Hualiu Company and the actors in Full House are paying close attention to it.

This is everyone’s first project.

Let's wait and see what kind of results it can achieve.
