Chapter 387 Unable to sell the premiere rights ([-] more [-])

Li Chuanjiang has worked so hard for so long, his dreams have been shattered, and the money has not yet been earned.He couldn't accept returning to the United States like this, and decided to fight one last time, and he must succeed.

Although he can't be a shareholder director of Junfeng Entertainment, but with his qualifications and ability, it is no problem to apply for a deputy production director.

When Tian Juncong agreed, Li Chuanjiang couldn't be happy.Originally, Tian Juncong gave him the position of vice president + production director, the second in command of the company, and he also agreed to take a share. After the company goes public, his net worth will definitely rise to tens of millions, and even become a billionaire.But now he can only be the deputy director of production, and his power is much weaker.

Weng Zhijian couldn't believe it when he learned that Shi Lei had become the chairman of Wufang Performing Arts.Although he knew that Shi Lei was a small director of the parent company of Wufang Performing Arts, how did he become the chairman?

Shi Lei briefly explained to him, and then asked him to work hard at Dongsheng Entertainment. If the two companies merge in the future, there will only be one general manager position.

The filming of the TV series invested by Dongsheng Entertainment has been completed, and the 500 million invested by Wei Yuan and the nearly 1000 million implanted advertisements have been spent. This is not enough. Later, an additional investment of several million is enough for the later publicity cost of.

The front is basically shooting while editing, so the progress is very fast, only a little post-production is left, and the TV series is completely completed.

The three leading actors began to run around to announce the new drama, and those other artists could occasionally show their faces in some announcements, but there was still no market.

Originally thought that everything was going in a good direction, but Weng Zhijian called suddenly, and his tone was a little low. It turned out that he contacted the leaders of several satellite channels. Unfortunately, the other party probably looked at the cast list and the main plot, but they were not very interested.There is no market for romance movies now, and costume movies are the hottest. If you give me a musical movie, isn’t this going to make our TV ratings drop to the bottom!
Twenty-episode TV series, the highest one of those TV stations, only paid 200 million for the first broadcast price, and the first broadcast rights of satellite channels are only allowed to sell several TV stations at the same time. They can make money, but the first broadcast of their TV series can't even get back half of the cost.

Shi Lei hurried to Shanghai to discuss countermeasures with Weng Zhijian.If the first broadcast rights are only sold for this amount of money, the rebroadcast will not be able to sell at a higher price. The rebroadcast fee may only be half to one third of the first broadcast.

The premiere rights of other people's TV dramas cost tens of millions, and there are several TV stations vying for it. Why is it worth less than 200 million, only one-tenth of others?This is too cheap, isn't it that Hu Bing and Qu Ying are together again, it is very topical, and Lu Han is very popular, isn't it?

"Which TV stations have you contacted?" Shi Lei sat on the sofa, also frowning.

"Mango, Tomato, Blue, Beijing, and Red are the five TV stations that I think are more suitable, because they all have singing and dancing talent shows and have the most suitable audience groups." Weng Zhijian said his thoughts.

"In this case, why do they only give such a low price? Could it be that our film is not good? Didn't you say that the filming effect is good?" Shi Lei was a little dissatisfied with Weng Zhijian's approach. Why can't the premiere rights be sold?
"Because they bought the premiere rights of a TV series produced by another company during this period, the main feature is the gathering of sportsmen, and they are all stars."

Shi Lei looked at Weng Zhijian, and said word by word: "Jun, Feng, Yu, Yue?"

"Well, it's Junfeng Entertainment, and their premiere rights have also dropped in price. According to the appearance fees of their actors, the price of the premiere rights is so low, they must be losing money. Of course, they may do a good job of product placement , The investment may have recovered more than half of it.”

This idea of ​​grabbing the market with Dongsheng Entertainment was also thought up by Li Chuanjiang.He helped the crew to pull several advertisements with a glib tongue. Although it may reduce the quality of the show, it saved a lot of money for the crew and greatly reduced the production cost. Tian Juncong also praised him. Wrong person.In short, those who can help the company and help Tian Juncong make money are talents!

Some time ago, Tian Juncong's other businesses were taken by Bai Ziyang behind his back, and he lost a lot.Now that he has recovered, the TV series will be released soon, and there will be a big-budget movie early next year, with a lot of money invested by their company.Relying on these two, their company can continue to be popular, and maybe they can make a lot of money.

Tian Juncong, who had regained his strength, was encouraged by Li Chuanjiang to turn around and target Dongsheng Entertainment and Wufang Performing Arts.Wufang Performing Arts did not participate in any production, but Dongsheng Entertainment did, and the schedule of the TV series happened to crash, so why not take the opportunity to give Dongsheng Entertainment a slap in the face for Shi Lei?

It is obvious which one is more guaranteed ratings, with small productions and niche singing and dancing TV dramas on the one hand, and big productions and gangster TV dramas on the other.

Who watches TV the most right now?One is an old man, one is a housewife, and the third is a teenager.As for ordinary young people, most of them choose to surf the Internet. They have to go to work during the day, so they don’t have so much time to watch TV. It’s better to watch all at once on weekends, or go back to watch updates every night.

The TV station is very clear that their viewing group is low. The elderly may prefer to watch TV dramas with military themes, family carnival themes, and family ethics. Light comedy themes and martial arts fantasy themes.

Dongsheng Entertainment’s TV series doesn’t occupy a single point. It belongs to the singing and dancing youth inspirational TV series. Now that people are forcibly instilled with so much chicken soup for their souls every day, who would watch this kind of youth inspirational TV series?

So after a little comparison between those TV stations, and Junfeng Entertainment also took the initiative to lower the price, who do you choose?The offer to Dongsheng Entertainment is still the offer for the midnight show. If you want prime time, there is no way!
If it was just cheap, Weng Zhijian would not be so depressed, but the broadcast time given by the TV station.Midnight show, who the hell watches singing and dancing movies at the midnight show? Of course, the ratings will not be high, and it will seriously affect the reputation of the TV series and the price of the second round of broadcasting rights.

"Is there no need to talk to those people? You didn't express it?" Shi Lei had never dealt with those people before, so he didn't know how to deal with it.

Weng Zhijian shook his head: "They are only willing to give 200 million to the highest family. How much can I give? They don't care about tens of thousands of dollars. It's better not to give them hundreds of thousands to earn more."

Shi Lei didn't know what to do, he didn't even know a TV station leader.

"Tomorrow, you can contact the leader of Tomato Channel, and I will try."

Shi Lei is not sure, he will succeed if he goes, but he will not be reconciled if he doesn't try.Although their company really only invested a few million in this show, which can be regarded as a small investment, and most of it is the cost of post-production operations, choreography and choreography, but there is still 500 million invested by Wei Yuan, Shi Lei promised , I will return it to him in full. After all, I am also Fang Xuan's classmate. If I don't give it, it will make Fang Xuan lose face.

The next day, Shi Lei went to talk to the leader of Tomato Channel, while Weng Zhijian contacted other terrestrial channels, as well as video sites, not to discuss the price, and wait for Shi Lei's results to come out before making a final decision.

"Mr. Liu, the production of this TV series by our company is definitely a high-quality one in recent years. You can take a look and see if there are any TV series of this type released in recent years? Besides, Hu Bing and Qu Ying haven't filmed together for many years. It’s a TV series, and it can still arouse some nostalgic emotions. Besides, there is also the popular young artist Lu Han, who is the idol of many teenagers, and the ratings are absolutely guaranteed.”

After listening to Shi Lei's words, Director Liu shook his head calmly: "Mr. Shi, I made it very clear to Mr. Weng that we have to wait until next year, or it will be the midnight show. What kind of ratings can the midnight show have? How can I give you a high price?" ? 10 yuan for an episode, I think it is very reasonable."

"Our TV series is most suitable for broadcasting during prime time at night, or during the day. Who will watch our TV series at midnight?"

"There is already another TV series released during the prime time, and you have no chance to play it." Director Liu said with certainty.

"Taiwan Master Liu, Junfeng Entertainment's TV series will be released in prime time. We will not miss anything Junfeng Entertainment gives you." Shi Lei hinted.

Mr. Liu narrowed his eyes: "You think too much, because the quality of their TV series is good, and the ratings are guaranteed."

Shi Lei saw something different with his telepathy. It turned out that Director Liu really charged Junfeng Entertainment 30 yuan, which is the price of one episode. There are a total of 900 episodes, which means only one TV station. Junfeng Entertainment broadcast the first round. If they sell the rights, they can sell for [-] million. After selling three or five, Ben will come back. They are all actors of their own company, and the salary price will not be very high.The second-round broadcast rights and online broadcast rights are basically all earned, and maybe even more.

"Master Liu, 30, just give them 30 per episode, then I'll give you 100 million, can you give me 100 million per episode?" Shi Lei leaned into Mr. Liu's ear and said.

Taichang Liu's eyes widened suddenly, staring at Shi Lei firmly: "What did you say?"

Impossible, he couldn't possibly know the cash I received at XX Hotel 1203!
"Taiwan Liu, we Ming people don't say dark words, 30 cash is in XX Hotel 1203, do you need me to elaborate? I'm not too much, this TV series may not be suitable for prime time, but I think afternoon It’s still okay, right? One episode is 20, and I’ll give you a kickback of 20, how about it?”

Shi Lei's typical way of giving both kindness and majesty is threatening Mr. Liu, if you don't give me a suitable price, then I will report you.If you give me a suitable price, then I will give you another gift, and everyone will become a front. As for how to choose, I believe Master Liu will consider it.
