Chapter 606 You Can Set the Price Whatever You Want!
Quietly, when Xia Yan was in full swing to promote the new album, "Legend of the White Snake" finally wrapped up! At such an important moment, even if Lin Fan didn't want to be too lively, the publicity team would not let go of this great opportunity and created a wave of enthusiasm.
Moreover, as the production team is finalized, the day when the show is officially launched is getting closer and closer, and the popularity on the Internet is getting higher and higher. "The Legend of the White Snake" is also listed in the "Most Anticipated TV Series" and "Most Wanted TV Series" "Waiting for the first place in several online survey lists.
Even Lin Fan's friends in the circle came over and asked: When will it be online?
Lin Fan also thought about launching the TV series as soon as possible, but the key is not Lin Fan, but that it will take time to wait for the approval! Even if it is the face of Shanghai Film Studios, there are all the procedures that should be prepared and the procedures that should be followed.
However, even if the show hadn't passed the review, someone had already come to the door and asked the producer Hu Yuhua to go upstairs to purchase the copyright.
It was Hu Yuhua's acquaintance, Wang Xiuying, the head of the procurement department of Shanghai Satellite TV, who came.
"Yuhua, I came here with sincerity this time. For the sake of our cooperation for so many years, how about a discount?"
Hu Yuhua had a headache: "Miss Xiuying, no, our drama hasn't passed the review yet! You came to negotiate a discount with me, isn't it a bit too early?"
Wang Xiuying waved her hand: "Why so early! Those who passed the trial but failed, didn't you know it when you started filming?"
From the moment a film is prepared for filming, it is intended to be released. Of course, TV dramas are different from movies. Movies have independent movies for various reasons, but there is basically no such thing as independent TV dramas.
Therefore, for most TV dramas, the censorship factors are considered before the filming is planned. There may be some TV dramas that must be filmed knowing that they cannot pass the censorship, but Wang Xiuying has never seen such a hard-headed person.
Therefore, as long as there is no change in the general direction, or any negative news about the crew and actors, the review can be passed.
Hu Yuhua has been in this circle for so many years, so he doesn't even have this common sense. He said that this drama has not passed the trial, and he is just retreating to gain the initiative.
Wang Xiuying understands and is willing to show her sincerity: "Yuhua, let me tell you straight, I personally like the story of "Legend of the White Snake". It’s really getting harder and harder to watch, how long has it been since I’ve been on Star TV?”
This year, only one "Sky Survey" is a bit of a splash, and other ancient puppet and fairy dramas have turned to online broadcasting platforms.
It's been more than half a year, and Star TV is basically a world of realistic themes, and other people's Wang Xiuying can't control it, but Shanghai Satellite TV really needs a costume drama to give the audience a change of taste.
But looking at the second half of the year, for those costume dramas that have not yet been released, even if Wang Xiuying is the tallest among the dwarfs and the general among the cripples, she doesn't like it.
Either the script is bad, or the acting skills of the actors are embarrassing, or they just pour water like crazy. A story that can be told in 20 episodes has to be made into 50 episodes. If you have to make 30 episodes into 70 episodes, Wang Xiuying can’t wait Pick up the scissors by yourself, and click off all the water-filled scenes.
After picking and choosing, only "The Legend of the White Snake" caught Wang Xiuying's eyes. It happened to be jointly produced by Magic City Pictures and Lin Fan. The starring role was last year's TV queen Riemann. Everything else is professional level.
It doesn't matter if the actors are thin, one Riemann and one Lin Fan are enough to support the whole play!
Moreover, Wang Xiuying also specially watched Lin Fan's comic version "Legend of the White Snake". With its antique style of painting, as long as Lin Fan shoots according to his own comics, this drama will not be bad. So Wang Xiuying approached Hu Yuhua very directly to discuss the purchase.
"Yuhua, Modu Yinghua and Modu Satellite TV are a family, and I won't play tricks with you. I want the first-round exclusive broadcast rights of "Legend of the White Snake". Please make a price!"
Hu Yuhua was stunned, because when Wang Xiuying said "make an offer", it was actually equivalent to "you just open your mouth like a lion", that posture, it seemed that no matter what price she offered, Wang Xiuying would agree!
Wang Xiuying did come here with sincerity.
Since the filming of "Legend of the White Snake" started, it has always attracted attention. Every day, a large number of fans leave messages under Lin Fan or the crew's super blog account to follow up the filming process of this film.
In addition, this year's "A Chinese Ghost Story" movie is a big hit, and "White Snake" has also been fired by the way, and the popularity has remained high.
Now that "Legend of the White Snake" is officially finished, it also means that the film is not far away from being released. Wang Xiuying also has the advantage of being close to the water, so she can directly find Hu Yuhua for an inquiry at the first time.
Otherwise, in two days at the latest, the other satellite TV stations should rush over. There is not enough time left for Wang Xiuying. She has to win the premiere of this drama before the heads of other TV stations arrive. round exclusive rights.
As for the price, can be negotiated!
Hu Yuhua couldn't help slandering: I asked for a price? Don't you know where my bottom line is when I make an offer? How can this work!
"Sister Xiuying, we haven't even decided whether it will be broadcast on the stars or on the web! We haven't discussed how many companies will sell the first round of exclusive broadcasts, and we can't say how many rounds will be sold..."
Wang Xiuying didn't believe a word, she just smiled and watched Hu Yuhua's nonsense.
Hu Yuhua was a little embarrassed by Wang Xiuying's look, and his heart broke: "Forget it, sister Xiuying, we have been friends for so many years, so I will tell you the truth. We don't plan to go to the stars. After all, there are rules. Star. Lin Fan thinks that the scope of broadcasting is too narrow, why not have a network-wide simulcast!"
The so-called two-star TV series means that a TV series can only be broadcast on two star channels at the same time at the same time, and the number of prime-time TV series broadcast every night is 2 episodes.
There shall be no more than two comprehensive satellite TV channels for the same TV series to be broadcast simultaneously in prime time every night, and no more than two episodes of the same TV series shall be broadcast on the comprehensive satellite TV channels during prime time every night.
Therefore, Lin Fan felt that selling the first round of exclusive broadcasting rights to two satellite TVs would be better than selling all the video sites at once. At worst, the price would be set a little lower. The sum of so many video sites would make more money than selling only two satellite TVs. .
As for the quality of the stars being higher than that of the webcast, Lin Fan said that he doesn't care at all. The quality of such things ultimately has to fall on the quality of "Legend of the White Snake" itself.
Don't want to be a star?
Wang Xiuying panicked a little, how can this work! You don't want to be a star, how can I bid?
"The first round of buyout, 6 million for a single episode!"
Hu Yuhua was taken aback: "How much?"
"I said, don't broadcast it on the Internet, let us directly let Shanghai Satellite TV buy out the first round of exclusive broadcasts, and I will give you a price of 6 million yuan per episode. "Legend of the White Snake" filmed 50 episodes, with a total price of 300 million yuan!"
