Chapter 666 Program Launch
After nearly half a month of negotiations, Haina and the TV station finally reached a cooperation agreement with a ratings bet agreement, which had been unable to reach a consensus on the distribution of benefits.
According to the bet agreement, the ratings of the new program "Super Winner" are based on 10%. For every percentage point above, Anhui Satellite TV needs to pay Haina an additional 200,000 yuan. If the program ratings reach 15%, Haina can share 10% of the program advertising fees, and if the ratings reach 30%, it can share 30% of the advertising share, and this share is up to 30%.
In other words, if the ratings of "Super Winner" reach 30% and above, Haina can share the original 1 million + 200,000 * 20 + 30% of the advertising share, as well as some relative autonomy.
From this bet agreement, it can be seen that although Anhui Satellite TV has the courage to innovate, it is a little unsure about whether a variety show can be successful.
Otherwise, the ratings of the bet would not be set in this way. The standard is obviously set in reference to the current average ratings of 21% of the official satellite TV "Variety Show".
And it is very clear that it is a local satellite TV, while the official satellite TV faces the whole country. Therefore, the leaders of the satellite TV station set a very conservative goal. We will not compete with the official satellite TV for the first place. They face the whole country, while we first cover the whole province, so as long as we have half of their ratings, they will be satisfied.
The reason for such a conservative estimate, in addition to the difference in administrative levels between the two TV stations, is that although the average ratings of "Variety Show" are now 21%, it has created a record of more than 300 million viewers per episode.
But now the ratings of "Variety Show" are much worse than the data at its peak. You must know that "Variety Show" was a phenomenal variety show before, which can match the ratings of TV series such as "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "My Fair Princess" which is now on air. At least 70% started, and it has always been the leader of the same-level programs in China.
However, the ratings of "Variety Show" have plummeted in the past two years. Although it is still the leader of the same program, it always feels that the former strong leader is now sick and getting old.
So the people of Anhui Satellite TV Station are optimistic about the launch of variety shows. But they are a little bit unconfident, so the requirements are not high, and the ratings are just 10%. They are satisfied with this result. If they can really beat the weak big brother and achieve a rating of more than 30%, they don't mind spending more money to give Haina more autonomy.
After the contract was signed, the two parties had dinner together. In the choice of host, Yang Dongxu insisted on Lin Bin, a newcomer who had just arrived at the station. Although the leaders of the station wanted to use this newcomer who didn't look good and had squinty eyes, they didn't pay too much attention to this person.
Although his ability is unquestionable as he graduated from the PLA Art Academy, this newcomer has two points in a series of performances after entering the station, but he is not experienced enough.
Therefore, the leaders of Anhui TV Station were worried about letting such a newcomer host such a high-profile program. Because in addition to such a newcomer, Haina also suggested that the hosts should be new faces, and the reason given was that the new program would have a new atmosphere, but the people in the station felt that the other party looked down on some old hosts.
This caused a lot of rumors to appear in the originally harmonious cooperation relationship. However, these things were suppressed by the leaders of the station and Haina. The contract was signed and it was impossible to suspend the recording of the program because of a few rumors.
Besides, Haina brought the behind-the-scenes team of the popular European and American "Happy Boys" program, and signed the guests of the first recording of the program with the leading actors of "My Fair Princess", which is currently a phenomenal hit and watched by all the people.
Let's not talk about whether the behind-the-scenes team of a talent show can really create this variety show that both parties pay close attention to better than the team of Anhui TV Station. The guests invited in the first episode alone are enough to raise the popularity and attention of this program to a higher level.
So since Haina is so cooperative, the leaders of Anhui TV will not lag behind. Although the ratings have not come out yet, some authorities decided to give Haina a try first to see the effect. After all, Haina is professional in entertainment.
Yang Dongxu personally named Lin Bin and stipulated that a new face should be required. So the leaders of Anhui TV pushed out Zhou Qun, a newcomer currently trained by the station.
In this way, the host of the "Super Winner" program is basically finalized, and there is no difference from the future. Then with two supporting roles, the host of a program is basically complete.
Because the TV station needs to renovate the stage according to Haina's requirements, although it is not a big renovation, it also takes time. So the program is tentatively scheduled to start recording the first episode half a month later, that is, on November 23. It is just right to say hello to several leading actors of "My Fair Princess" during this period.
Since the popularity of this drama shocked the whole country, whether it was the already famous Alec Su and Ruby Lin, or the newcomers like ZW and Fan Binbin who just graduated from college, their popularity has immediately increased by several levels.
Especially ZW and other newcomers, who became the first-line young actresses right after graduating from school, and the speed of their popularity has shocked people in the industry.
The stage began to be built, and Yang Dongxu led the team to discuss the program with the host Lin Bin and Zhou Qun. After the general process was straightened out, the stage renovation was completed, and the guests could be called over for a trial recording.
The whole discussion process was basically Yang Dongxu talking and they were listening. Even the leaders of the station had to be polite to a young man who was about the same age as them. As newcomers, they obviously did not dare to neglect him, especially after hearing that this young man was the most mysterious Xiaoxu in Haina, they simply regarded him as a god.
In a restaurant near the Anhui Provincial TV Station, Chen Fangjun and his wife sat opposite Yang Dongxu. The three of them ate the big hot pot in front of them and talked and laughed. The atmosphere seemed to be good.
Because Yang Dongxu was busy preparing for the new program, although he visited Chen Fangjun twice after returning to Feicheng, he basically had no time to get together. So the two of them booked a place to eat near the TV station today to avoid Yang Dongxu running back and forth.
Although the dining atmosphere was good, Yang Dongxu always felt that something was wrong between Chen Fangjun and his wife Li Han. Although Li Han let him eat more and looked relaxed and talkative, she never looked at Chen Fangjun from beginning to end, let alone picked up food for him. This is definitely not what a loving couple should have.
"I heard that your new show is quite lively. Do you have a ticket? I will go to support you as an audience member when the time comes." Li Han put a piece of green vegetable into her mouth and asked.
"What tickets do you need? Now I am still thinking about where to catch people to be the audience on the spot. Of course, I welcome my sister-in-law's support. When the time comes, I will go with Brother Chen and the children, and I will solve three audience seats at once." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Popular programs are never short of audiences, especially live audiences. Being able to get close to your idol and even have a chance to be selected to interact on the spot is simply the biggest benefit for fans.
But for a show that has not yet become popular, there is no need to say much about the audience who contribute to the ratings. This needs to be accumulated. It's really hard to find live audiences. If you want to find live audiences, you have to pay for them, not to mention asking them to buy tickets. It feels like a star in the future buying fans to pick him up at the airport.
"Okay, I will definitely go with my children to support him then." Li Han smiled and nodded.
"I will go too if I have time." Chen Fangjun replied a little stiffly.
This made the atmosphere between the two people, which was originally a little bit wrong, even more stiff.
She turned her head slightly to look at her husband and found that he had no intention of speaking. Li Han gritted her teeth, "Dongxu, I heard that the Nokia mobile phone you are the agent of is selling very well?"
After Li Han finished speaking, Yang Dongxu clearly saw that Chen Fangjun's face changed. He opened his mouth to say something, but was glared at by his wife. An angry look appeared on his face, but he seemed to be afraid of the occasion and didn't burst out.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you."
Before he finished speaking, Du Fei rushed in from outside. Usually, Yang Dongxu would sit with Du Fei for meals, because he was the only one with Yang Dongxu in the mainland. As for the other bodyguards, Yang Dongxu maintained a certain distance after maintaining a friendly temper. This is the necessary distance between the boss and the employees.
However, the meal in Jintan is considered a half-family dinner. Du Fei never comes to the table for such occasions. It is useless for Yang Dongxu to say anything. So he just buys something to eat and waits in the car.
Du Fei hurriedly came to Yang Dongxu's ear and said something. He was originally smiling, but his face suddenly changed. The sudden burst of hostility startled Chen Fangjun and his wife who were sitting opposite.
"Brother Jun, sister-in-law, I have something to deal with here. You eat first, and I will treat you another day." After saying that, without waiting for Chen Fangjun and his wife to say anything, he stood up and hurried away with Du Fei.
Looking at Yang Dongxu leaving and imagining the change in his expression just now, Li Han couldn't help but ask: "Did something happen? Or you can call and ask?"
"If you want to ask, ask. Didn't you say you were just here for dinner today? Why did you mention the phone?" Chen Fangjun also felt that something might have happened to Yang Dongxu, otherwise Yang Dongxu, who always gave him a good impression, wouldn't have a cold face that made him feel dangerous.
However, compared to Yang Dongxu's matter, he was obviously more concerned about his wife's mention of the phone just now. It was because of this matter that the two of them had been in a cold war for some time.
Li Han turned his head to look at Chen Fangjun. The unbelievable and strange look made Chen Fangjun's heart jump. He didn't know why his heart suddenly tightened.
He didn't know what he did wrong. If there was any fault, it should be Li Han's fault. After all, she had said not to mention it before coming, but she mentioned it in front of him.
