superstar director

Chapter 154 Admission
Time flies by, and the good times of summer vacation are gone without knowing it.The summer carnival of the Chinese film and television industry has also come to an end.

In this year's summer, the media dubbed it "Fa Ge's schedule" because of the top ten box office movies in the summer, of which the top three were starring Fa Ge Zhou Runfa.Such a miracle was widely reported by the media throughout Asia and even the world.

Among them, among the total box office of 110 billion in the summer file, the shootout film "The True Colors of Heroes 2" ranked first. True Colors 1 set a box office of 12 billion. In this summer, Fa Ge and his brother Zhang Guorong jointly won the box office of 15 billion and became China's new box office champion. The cumulative total reached 23 billion. This figure also created a new record for the box office in Asia!

Next in the second place is "Across the World", which also co-starred with Fa Ge and Ge Ge. The Chinese box office won more than 11 billion, and the global box office broke through 7000 billion.

Then there is the third-ranked "Prison Storm", also starring Fa Ge, with a Chinese box office of more than 6000 billion 13 million and a global box office of more than [-] billion.

Although China's box office has grown rapidly in recent years, it is the first time that three consecutive movies in this summer's file have exceeded one billion yuan, let alone the other seven films in the summer file that were shot in the top ten. There are more than [-] million departments, and three departments have exceeded [-] million.

At this moment when China's box office is exploding, Fa Ge, as the top three box office overlord, is naturally the focus of everyone's attention.

In particular, when Fa Ge took too many films three years ago, did not delve into the script, and other reasons, several of the films he starred in suffered miserably. The title of box office poison became his exclusive term for a while. China's top movie star has become a joke.

However, after filming "The True Colors of Heroes" with a director named Wu Yusen last year, he rose again and became a superstar in China and the whole of Asia, and completely got rid of the hat of "box office poison" in the past two years.

And this year, Fa Ge is the most popular actor with the highest box office performance in Asia with his three summer masterpieces, and Fa Ge's photos have been put on the cover of magazines in many countries, including the United States. of Time Magazine.

Of course, in detail, these things seem to have nothing to do with Ning Cheng. At this time, Ning Cheng, after secretly sending off the little girl Ning Tong to the first grade with his parents, is also stepping into the Kyoto Film Academy and becoming A freshman at the university.

At the same time, "I Have a Date with a Zombie" has been filmed for more than two months, and the post-production has been completed. Letian invited many people from the TV station to try it out, and then negotiate the price.

However, the leaders of the TV station had mixed reactions after the trial, especially the exaggerated monster-catching technique of the female Taoist priest on TV. Drawing a talisman can summon a dragon, and the zombie is even more exaggerated, just like a mythological drama. , In addition, there are basically no popular stars in this TV series. Except for Ding Xuan, who is not bad, the popularity of other actors is basically negligible.

Therefore, when it comes to the purchase price next, it will naturally not be so happy.

However, even so, the people in Lotte had no choice but to grind hard, because the five TV stations that were originally found went straight to three after watching the trial broadcast, and now there are only one Kyoto Satellite TV and one Dongfeng TV station left.

Kyoto Satellite TV is a satellite channel under the Kyoto TV Station. Except for the central TV stations, Kyoto Satellite TV has long been in the top ten national TV audiences in Kyoto and the whole country, while Dongfeng TV is a company at the southern city level. The coverage of the TV station is only in this city, and other areas cannot receive it at all. Therefore, the people in Lotte naturally hope to reach an agreement with Kyoto Satellite TV.

However, the condition of Kyoto Satellite TV is too much.

Not to mention the purchase fee of 30 yuan for one episode. There are no super popular TV stars in this show, and no one knows the director. The purchase is a big TV station like Kyoto Satellite TV, so I just endured it.

But it is too much to even ask for the exclusive broadcasting rights. If the first round of exclusive broadcasting rights for this 3000 million investment TV series is only sold for 1000 million, then they will have to pay for it, even if they have the second round of broadcasting rights. , then the purchase cost is far worse.

Therefore, the conditions offered by Lotte are, either ordinary purchase, 30 per episode, or the first-round exclusive rights to Kyoto Satellite TV, but 60 per episode. A little money is not enough at all.

However, because Ning Sheng accounted for two-thirds of the investment, and it was stipulated in the original contract that when the income of this drama is distributed, the first thing to do is return the capital to Lotte Film and Television. Ben.

As for the rest of the income, it was Ning Sheng's turn.

Nowadays, people in Lotte see that TV dramas are so hard to sell, so naturally they take capital preservation as the first premise.They didn't simply sell the first round of exclusive broadcasting rights at a price of 30 an episode, because they were worried that Ning Sheng would not agree, otherwise, based on their estimate of the show, they could sell it for 1000 million, which is already very good.

So, when they talked to Ning Sheng on the phone and gave Jingdu Satellite TV the final conditions, the people from Jingdu Satellite TV turned around and left as expected.

Seeing this situation, President Liu directly asked people to stabilize the last Dongfeng TV station, and went out to call Ning Sheng to update him on the latest situation.

"Xiao Sheng, we can't stand up like this anymore. Now there is only one local TV station left. If we scare them away, then we will really lose everything!"

"That 30 episodes, 35 episodes, a total of just over 1000 million, how can we sell the exclusive rights? We have invested 3000 million, no, you are trying to find a few more TV stations, Mr. Liu, please, Believe me, our TV series will definitely be a hit, and if it sells cheaply, we will lose money!"

"You think I don't want to sell more. The problem is, now that our price is a little higher, no one wants it! Several first-line satellite TVs just left. Xiaosheng, it can't go on like this. I heard that there is a The new drama called "Zombie Daoist in the City" was jointly bought by several first-line satellite TVs. Our theme is similar to others, and the cast is not as good as others. We should sell it at a low price first, and we will rarely get it back. How much is it?"

"No, that's too bad, Mr. Liu. In this way, instead of looking for first-line satellite TV, we can find a few more local TV stations, and then the price can be lowered appropriately. Of course, we will use 30 episodes as the bottom line, and then we will sell a few more. They jointly won the premiere rights, so it’s okay, right?”

"Okay, let me give it a try. If it doesn't work, Xiaosheng, can you stop being stubborn?"

"Okay, I see, let's talk about something, I'm going to class——I hung up—"

After hanging up the phone, Ning Sheng went to class with the students in the dormitory.At this time, the students were still talking about Brother Fa's killing all over the world during the summer, happily saying that when they graduate, the box office in China is estimated to be almost the same as the box office in North America, or even better!
