The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 407
However, because it is a hidden bidding method, neither of them knows what the other's psychological price is. If it is set too high, it will be a dumb loss. The mood is very disturbed.

"Dangxiong, how much do you think we should write?" Huang Xizhao hesitated for a long time and dared not write, then raised his head and asked Mai Dangxiong beside him.

Mai Dangxiong thought about it calmly, "Brother Zhao, I see TVB's attitude towards this drama, they don't seem to be too keen on this drama. Besides, their self-produced drama is not worse than "Crocodile Tears", so I I think their payment will not be too high, it should be around 80."

"If it's 80 yuan, the cost of a movie is equivalent to 2 yuan." Huang Xizhao said, "Can't it be cheaper?"

Like Li's own TV series, the cost of an episode is only about [-] Hong Kong dollars. Only relatively reliable TV series can cost more than [-] Hong Kong dollars, but they do not exceed [-] Hong Kong dollars.Like this co-production with TVB for [-] Hong Kong dollars per episode, Huang Xizhao doubted whether he made a profit or a loss.

"No matter how cheap it is, I'm afraid we won't be able to mark it." McDangxiong said with a frown, "The cost of an episode of wireless TV dramas is usually [-] Hong Kong dollars, and martial arts TV dramas are like "Chu Liuxiang" the year before last, and "Lu Xiaofeng" filmed last year. The cost is more than [-] Hong Kong dollars, and the cost of clothing alone costs nearly a million Hong Kong dollars. [-] Hong Kong dollars should be their psychological price, and it cannot be lower."

"Hey, people are more popular than people. The average cost of their TV dramas is 5000 Hong Kong dollars per episode, and the best TV dramas on our TV station are only [-] yuan. No wonder the ratings are always lower than theirs." Huang Xizhao listened With a long sigh.

"Actually, if the parent company didn't draw blood too hard, we might not lose to TVB." Mai Dangxiong couldn't help but dejectedly said.

The so-called clever woman is hard to cook without rice, even though Huang Xizhao is strong, Mai Dangxiong is talented, Li Zhaoxiong is thoughtful, Tu Yongxiong is full of drive, Xiao Ruoyuan is stunning... But because of the lack of necessary capital, it is inevitable that the hero will be short of breath.This is the so-called saying that a penny stumps a hero.

"Well, it's useless to say that now. The economic situation of the parent company is getting worse day by day. I don't know when it will get better. Moreover, the high-level executives made a big development plan with a slap in the head, and it turns out that all the money invested in it is like Throwing it into the water didn't even make a splash." Huang Xizhao also said dejectedly, "If the money is used to develop the TV station, why would Jiayi even ride on our heads and shit on us?"

"Brother Zhao, don't be discouraged. As long as we work together, we will definitely get Li's out of the difficulties." After listening to Huang Xizhao's words, Mai Dangxiong quickly persuaded with a smile.

"I believe there will be such a day." Huang Xizhao also nodded, "But this TV series is too expensive, we will pay 80 Hong Kong dollars to buy it, and they will wait for us to show it, but they can only pay 40 Hong Kong dollars , It’s too cheap for them.”

"Why don't we give them the premiere rights, and then we pay half of the money to buy the replay rights?!" McDonald asked after thinking for a while.

"No, don't you think I haven't thought about it?" Huang Xizhao waved his hand, "Those major advertising clients have given an ultimatum. If we show those crudely produced TV series again, all the advertisements will be withdrawn. Advertisement Once withdrawn, our company has no income, and even wages cannot be paid."

"Actually, there are other ways to solve this problem." Mai Dangxiong suddenly rubbed his hands and said.

"Do you have another way?! Oh, why didn't you say it earlier? It made me worry for so long." Huang Xizhao asked after hearing what McDonald said, throwing away the pen in his hand.

Mai Dangxiong nodded, "I think, can we first buy TV series from TVB that they broadcast before, such as the ones filmed a few years ago, which have not been played for a while, and the ratings were not bad at the time TV series." Mai Dangxiong thought for a while and said, "It's like "Chu Liuxiang" and "Book and Sword Enmity Record" starring Zheng Shaoqiu, as well as "Under the Lion Rock", "One House, Two Three Surnames" "People," and even "The Annunciation of the Two Stars" by the Xu Brothers, we can buy them for a while. The copyrights of these old TV series should not be too expensive, and the ratings should be fairly guaranteed."

"That's a good idea. If it's like this, will it make our TV station seem a little too low-level, and we can only win ratings by broadcasting other people's old TV series?" After Huang Xizhao nodded, he frowned and asked road.

"Hey, Brother Zhao, it's time for life and death. I don't care about low-level, trash, or face anymore." Mai Dangxiong shook his head and said, "As a general, Han Xingui also suffered from the pain of his crotch. Humiliation, what is our suffering now? After we have passed this test and regained our vitality, under your leadership, Brother Zhao, I believe that Li's will not be worse than Wireless go."

"That's right, since that's the case, then do as you want." Huang Xizhao nodded, and then solemnly wrote down the amount of 50 on the paper, which was the most suitable price in his mind.

……

While Huang Xizhao was discussing the price with his general, Mai Dangxiong, in another room, Zhong Jinghui was also discussing the price with Liang Shuyi.The reason why these two people were chosen to come to the auction is mainly because these two people will be the high-level executives appointed by Wireless Wireless in the future.Leung Sook Yee will be the manager of TVB, and Mr. Chung King Fai will be the director of the company, so the two of them are also very qualified to set the price.

"KINGSIR, how much do you think we should pay?" Liang Shuyi, as the general manager, was responsible for writing down the bidding price.But before writing it down, she still had to discuss it with Mr. Zhong Jinghui.And Mr. Chung King Fai used to be a teacher of an artist training class before, so many TVB actors are his students, and they will respectfully call him KINGSIR when they meet, and this has become his nickname over time.

"The cost of Li's TV series is usually only 5000 Hong Kong dollars per episode, and the cost of high-cost TV series is only 5000 yuan. Compared with our TVB, it is far inferior. And their cooperation with us this time is also to lower the cost of the TV series. cost, so I think their investment should not exceed the price of [-] Hong Kong dollars per episode." Zhong Jinghui thought for a while.

"In this case, then I'll be more on the safe side and write it at the price of [-] episodes." Liang Shuyi thought for a while and said, "I also watched part of the plot, and I think this drama is not inferior to the TV series produced by us. So I think if we buy it at the price of [-] episodes, we won't suffer a loss either."

"That's true," Zhong Jinghui nodded, "Actually, Li's TV station is not without capable people. It seems that the manager Huang Xizhao, the producer McDonald, screenwriter Xiao Ruoyuan, etc. can all be regarded as first-class in the Hong Kong TV industry. Talent. It's just a pity that Li's parent company doesn't live up to expectations, and always transfers funds from subsidiaries to make up for the shortfall, otherwise Li's TV station will cause even more trouble for our TVB."

"Well, this is probably time and fate." Liang Shuyi sighed, and then wrote down the amount of 80 on the white paper.

……

After both sides have considered and written down the price in their minds, they will send it to Xu Guanwu in person, and he will be responsible for showing the result to everyone in public.Although Xu Guanwu is the boss of TVB, he is also a billionaire, so he is not going to be a moth for a few 10 yuan.

Naturally, TVB had no objection to having him as the notary, and Lide couldn't invite more authoritative people, and Xu Guanwu's reputation had always been good, so it was good to have him as the notary.What's more, the results are announced on the spot, as much as you write, and there is no possibility of revision under the watchful eyes of the public.

"Manager Huang, Mr. Mai, have you written your bid?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

Huang Xizhao nodded with a calm expression. Although Xu Guanwu is a billionaire well-known in Hong Kong, he is also the owner of TVB, and he is also a relatively strong party in the alliance, but Huang Xizhao does not want to appear too humble, so that people can see him from the bottom of his heart. not on their own.So his attitude became a little colder, which was almost the same as the attitude that Mai Dangxiong had when he came to the company to discuss an alliance with Xu Guanwu that day.

"Miss Liang, KINGSIR, have you written your bid?" Xu Guanwu smiled and asked Liang Shuyi and Zhong Jinghui again.

Liang Shuyi and Zhong Jinghui also nodded, and then both of them put the folded white paper in front of Xu Guanwu.

"Okay, now I'm going to look at the bids written by both of you." Xu Guanwu smiled at Huang Xizhao and Liang Shuyi, "The one with the highest price will get the premiere rights of the TV series "Crocodile Tears". Within three months of the TV series "Crocodile Tears" being released, the other party can pay half of the price to obtain the right to rebroadcast it. Both of you should know this."

"Mr. Xu, before that, I want to ask you something." Huang Xizhao said suddenly.

"Excuse me, Manager Huang." Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Huang Xizhao wanted to ask.

"It's like this. Our TV station wants to exchange some old dramas with your station. I don't know what you like?" Huang Xizhao asked lightly.

"Switch to a TV series?!" Xu Guanwu was taken aback for a moment, and then understood Huang Xizhao's thoughts, probably because they couldn't bear the high price tag "Crocodile Tears", but wanted to get some TV series with good quality, but at the same time they didn't want to spend money to buy them. That's why I thought of changing the TV series.

Anyway, switching TV series with TVB, on the one hand, can reduce the cost of buying TV series, on the other hand, you can switch to better TV series, and use this to make a good use of your own TV series library.In addition, Li's access to TVB's high-quality TV series can get good ratings.However, the TV series that TVB got from Lidi are not as good as the TV series produced by itself, so the ratings may not increase.This should be Huang Xizhao's wishful thinking.

But since Xu Guanwu has seen through his calculations, he will naturally not let him be too happy.Li TV's TV series are indeed well-made, but most of them are shoddy TV series.This has something to do with Li's lack of emphasis on TV dramas over the years.

When TVB used TV series to conquer housewives and thus dominate the Hong Kong TV circle, Lidi was still working on her own news and information programs.When TVB produces more than [-] TV series each year, Li's still only has less than [-] TV series, and more energy is devoted to news reports.

Because Li Yingsheng was doing radio broadcasts before, they moved the most popular programs on the radio to the TV with a little modification.But radio broadcasting is different from TV broadcasting after all.The people who listen to the radio are mainly drivers and students. They have little time and energy to watch TV, so music programs or news programs on the radio are more popular.

But the viewers who watch TV broadcasts are family members who have time and energy, and just want to enjoy good-looking programs. If you let them listen to the news or listen to music, naturally it will not be enjoyable enough.It is most likely to attract the audience's interest if it is broadcast on time and on time every night, like a TV series like TVB.
