Chapter 465 Chapter 203 I Never Eat This Way

Li Qian rarely lit a cigar.

After receiving the news, the high-level executives of Minghu Culture, including Jin Han, rushed over one after another. When they heard what Li Qian said about Huaxia TV, they couldn't help being upset at the time.

Qi Jie couldn't help but said: "Isn't this too deceitful? You know how much the cost of this movie is, and you know the standard of this movie, the picture quality and special effects of this movie, and even their Huaxia TV station can't do it by themselves." When they came out, they only gave a price that was destined to make us lose money? Isn't this a clear money grab!"

Zou Wenhuai sneered, and said, "It's impossible for people in the TV station to believe the cost we reported. They must think we're exaggerating. Besides, it's China TV, with big, shiny golden legs!"

After a pause, he smiled and said to Qi Jie: "You can understand it this way. Think about it, there are so many singers, as long as you agree to sign them to support them, they would rather sign a contract with you without hesitation... Understand ?”

Qi Jie couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard this.

Everyone knows the status of Huaxia TV, and to be honest, when Li Qian's TV series is finally finished, all the high-level executives really hope that this drama can be broadcast by Huaxia TV. But he knew that he knew that the matter really fell on him, but no one would be reconciled to being slaughtered like this!

Everyone was still complaining, when Li Qian suddenly remembered, smiled and told about the preferential treatment that Feng Yumin had promised, Jin Han grinned and raised his legs, "Don't mind, my play is only worth a few Money, how much is your drama worth? My good guy, you are right, and you have to give us all the money, even if he gave us all the filming costs, so what? You have a net loss of 15 million for this TV series of!"

Li Qian turned his head to look at Han Shunzhang, and asked with a smile, "Old Han, what do you think?"

Han Shunzhang was not qualified to participate in this level of conversation, but he was on Li Qian's list, and he not only participated in the company's previous two productions, but Li Qian planned to reuse him even more in the future, so for meetings of this level, Li Qian Qian asked someone to call him and called him over. It's just that with his temperament, even when he came, he hardly talked, just kept listening to everyone's talk, and he seemed to be thinking.

At this time, Li Qian called his name, but he was not in a hurry. After thinking about it, he said: "Doing business, asking for a lot of money, and paying back the money when you land, has never been a matter of wishful thinking. No matter how overbearing, as long as they are interested in this movie and they fall in love with it, they will definitely still want to buy it, then, I think this price is not a one-time price, so we can talk about it again!"

Li Qian pursed his lips, then took a sip of his cigar.

To be honest, his opinion is very pertinent, and it is not far from what Li Qian was thinking.

But at this time, Zou Wenhuai said: "That is to say, the price can still be negotiated, but the price of 20 million yuan is tantamount to crossing the line. If you go up, it is not impossible, but if you go up How much, I gave you face!"

Speaking of this, he sneered disdainfully, and said: "I'll leave the word here, everyone, two million! Don't care how you talk about it, they will give you another two million if they are invincible! Moreover, the designated There will be a whole bunch of requests of this and that waiting for you!"

Qi Jie looked at him and asked, "Then, old Zou, what do you mean?"

Zou Wenhuai heard that he was about to speak, but stopped, and stared straight at him, "Hey, what's the matter with you? Seeing Qian call me Lao Zou, everyone calls me Lao Zou, right? I'm the artist director, and my name is Zou Zou no?"

Qi Jie smiled, "All right, all right, Mr. Zou, what do you think we should do?"

Zou Wenhuai finally calmed down, thought for a while, and said, "Tell me, this is no longer the cable era. Although the cable network is still very powerful, it must be the satellite signal that really attracts the most viewers! There are so many provincial channels in our country, but they are all satellite TV. In theory, although they are not as good as Huaxia TV, the audience coverage is also facing the whole country. There are so many choices, we can’t choose who to choose, why do we have to be in Huaxia? hanging from this tree?"

Qi Jie couldn't help but retort, "You can't say that! It's the era of satellite TV, but the problem is, I had someone make a statistical report before, and it should have been sent to your office a few days ago... …Okay, I see, you must have not watched it again, that’s why I didn’t call you Mr. Zou! The report clearly told us that even if it is a relatively strong TV station in the province, such as Shandong Satellite TV, Zhejiang Satellite TV , there is still a huge gap with Huaxia TV! Not to mention those TV stations that are recognized as relatively conservative in making programs and buying movies, such as Hunan TV and Liaoning TV. So, the problem comes, even if we find another TV station Buyer, which provincial TV station sold it to, and after it is broadcast, can it achieve the expected results?"

After a pause, she emphasized: "This drama is our company's first work in film and television. Everyone knows that we are rushing to make it a word of mouth! What if the ratings and The influence is unsatisfactory, and it will directly affect other operations in the next step! By that time, the loss will even be more than 10 million?"

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "I don't think so. First of all, I think we have to clarify a concept, that is, how can it be considered a fire! What is the degree of fire we expect? fire!"

After a pause, he said: "If you take it to Huaxia TV, it may give you a rating of 20, which is of course very popular. If you go to other local channels, it may only give you 10 points, but that's still considered popular." Well, for a local station, there is a TV series that can actually get 10 points in the ratings of the provincial satellite TV.

"This way, it may not be as popular as it was on China TV, and it will be more shocking and influential, but even if it gets a 10 in the provincial TV station, our Minghu Culture, and Li Qian's identity as a director, even in the So many provincial-level TV stations across the country have signed up, and our works will be marked with 10 ratings in the future!"

"Besides, it has long been known that Qianqian is the director of making a movie. I don't know how many of his fans are waiting for this movie! This is a big publicity point invisibly. Based on Qian's current popularity, as long as he promotes it well and increases the ratings by a few points, it shouldn't be a big problem...Qian, you think I'm right?"

Li Qian smiled, neither nodded nor shook his head.

He listened to Qi Jie arguing with Zou Wenhuai for so long, without saying a word, just smoking a cigar slowly. At this time, he noticed that Xie Mingyuan hadn't said much, but looked at him, "Mr. Xie, you Also express your opinion?"

Xie Mingyuan smiled, prepared his words, and then said: "We have watched the first ten episodes of this TV series together. I don't know what others think. I personally like it very much. And I think, our domestic The audience should also like it. Moreover, I have an opinion. I don’t know if it’s right. Let’s talk about it. I think, maybe we can find out, ask more, and look at the films that China TV has bought in the past few years. , will give an approximate price. What is the approximate price of the TV series they spend their own money on.”

As soon as he said these words, the eyes of many people in the room lit up at the same time.

Jin Han was the most exaggerated, he slapped his thigh directly, "That's right! That's what happened!"

Qi Jie also thoughtfully said: "What Mr. Xie means is that actually spending 20 million yuan to buy a TV series is already a huge investment even for China TV, right? Although the 20 million yuan is not enough for our TV series and needs to be compensated, it is actually a rare big deal for Huaxia TV! And for them, since they are willing to spend so much Big money to buy a film just shows that they are very optimistic about the prospects of this film!"

Xie Mingyuan smiled and nodded, "That's right, I think it should be like this!"

After a pause, he said, "I have carefully read the documents sent by Mr. Qi a few days ago. After reading them, I felt uneasy, so I called a few old friends in the film and television industry to inquire about them. I took a moment, so the data may not be accurate, but it should be pretty much the same. At least I know that among the TV dramas that Huaxia TV casts and shoots itself, and the TV series they purchased from outsiders, there is only one "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with a single episode costing 1 million or more, and The main thing is to spend the money on the construction of film and television bases, and the real money spent on the filming itself is said to be only 40 to 50 million yuan, and if the cost of a single episode is calculated, it is about 500,000 yuan."

"So, now, they have quoted a price of 20 million for a 40-episode TV series, which is tantamount to directly admitting that this TV series is worth at least one episode of 500,000!"

Hearing this, even a layman like Lu Ming understood it all at once, and even he couldn't help but said: ""The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"... I seem to have heard someone say that its highest ratings seem to have already Passed 60%?"

Zou Wenhuai looked even more confident, and said with a smile: "Sixty percent? Old Lu, you are too underestimating the Three Kingdoms! That is the second place in our country's ratings rankings for so many years! Only Second to 95% of "Journey to the West" in the early 1980s!"

After a pause, he said with a smile: "Of course, in those days, even the provincial TV stations were not very formal? Also, most people in China watched Huaxia TV through cable, so it's not uncommon for its ratings to be so high. However, what time is it now? There are so many TV stations, and all kinds of programs are blooming. As far as I know, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has the highest data of 73% in the country! According to what Old Lu said, 60%, didn’t they run away? What does this mean? It means that the people who can make decisions on Huaxia TV think our "Legend of the New White Snake" is another "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"

When the words came to this point, even Zou Wenhuai himself was taken aback by the words.

Good boy, another "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? This is a bit... scary! It should be said that after watching the play "Legend of the New White Snake", even he thought it was good and very good. The story is wonderful, the characters are lifelike, and the heroine is also beautiful. Of course, the screen, special effects, etc., needless to say, it is definitely the top level of current domestic TV dramas!

But... Can it reach the level of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

You know, in the past ten years, it has been number one in domestic TV dramas! Not only the ratings are number one, word of mouth is absolutely number one!

This is really not knowing if you don't analyze it. Once you analyze it, you will jump. It turns out that the relevant leaders who made the decision on Huaxia TV are so optimistic about this TV series?

At this moment, when Zou Wenhuai said these words, in fact, almost everyone in the office was startled by his words. At this moment, of course, more than one person had similar thoughts in their minds.

Then, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at Li Qian.

In those eyes, there was some surprise, some shock, and an inexplicable complex meaning. It seemed that everyone was saying in their hearts - no way, you are good at writing songs, we all admit that no one can compare That's right, but now, can you be so good at making a TV series? So good that the leaders of Huaxia TV gave this level of evaluation?

It should be said that before this, even if I have personally watched the first half of this TV series, but Qi Jie, Xie Mingyuan, Zou Wenhuai and others are not professional in film and television, they can feel that this film is well shot and beautiful, But to what extent is it good, no one can say anything, so, in fact, even if you have watched the film, you voted for Li Qian's film and television plan, but in fact, from this TV series to the follow-up The film and television shooting plan, but they are not too confident in their hearts.

And to be honest, even people like Han Shunzhang and Jin Han who personally participated in the filming process will have strong confidence in this drama, thinking that this drama has achieved the industry's leading level in all aspects. But among them, as to whether this drama will be popular, if it is popular, how far it will live, and what kind of evaluation domestic audiences will give such a mythical romance drama in ancient costumes, they don't really have much in their hearts. Bottom.

Because in this world, there have never been one or two examples of good stories, good actors, good pictures, and good movies everywhere, but they ended up hitting the street! Needless to say, at least Jin Han felt that he put a lot of effort into each of his films, and the result...without exception, he was almost ashamed to face others!

Therefore, experts think it is good and good-looking, and laymen think it is very good and successful, but in fact, whether it is an insider or an outsider, they are very disturbed in their hearts. They have no way of judging whether this TV series will meet the audience after it is filmed. What a result.

Li Qian was the only one who knew the truth from the beginning to the end.

He clearly knows the powerful charm of this TV series that has been on the air for twenty years, and he also knows how this TV series has been named an absolute classic.

Especially, when he finished editing, he turned back to look at his work over and over again. When the special effects were finished, he looked back over and over again. When the opening, ending and subtitles were packaged, he looked back again with great interest To see...to see the vivid performance, to see the succession and transformation of every plot I dealt with, to see the exquisite and delicate picture, and to see the huge cost, even after another ten or twenty years, it will not feel outdated The special effects, the confidence in his heart, are even more powerful beyond words.

Therefore, for him, whether people will watch the show after it airs, whether people will like it, what the ratings will be, and what the word-of-mouth will be, have long been out of his consideration. Even, whether you earn money, lose money or not, or how much you earn and lose, has long since become less important.

The only thing he needs to consider is: like in other time and space, after entering the era of satellite TV, provincial TV stations all over the country have risen one after another to challenge the national TV station, will it still happen?

And after his own observations in recent years, and thinking over and over again in the recent period, he felt: yes!

Therefore, if you pay a little bit, sell it to Huaxia TV, and get off to a good start. The challenge, its status, is still protected by the country's policy, so, as he thought before, I cost 35 million, I pay 5 million, and sell it to you for 30 million. I can bear it all - after all, the country has always been a society of human feelings, and the powerful resources in the hands of China Television really make people willing to sacrifice a little interest. Among other things, in the future to shoot TV dramas, even if you can save face and borrow a few more people from the TV drama production center of Huaxia TV, it will be a huge benefit.

However, that doesn't mean that he is willing to lie on the ground and let others flatten and round him.

Especially when he knew exactly what kind of TV series he was holding in his hand.

…………

In Li Qian's office, everyone looked at him.

Li Qian took another puff of his cigar, then slowly spit it out, and then said: "Before I went, I talked to Mr. Qi about this matter, and I said at that time, as long as they let me pay less, the person who opened the door The first shot, I admit it."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "But maybe the leaders in the station feel the same way. They feel that I need to use China TV to become popular! So..." He smiled, shook his head, then turned and put down his cigar, Let it be extinguished naturally, and then continued: "But, I am a person, I have never taken this kind of thing!"

Having said that, he straightened his body and said, "I've been listening to everyone's discussion just now, and I'm very happy. No matter what angle you look at, or what the reason is, in short, what you guys did to me and the film I filmed The drama is becoming more and more recognized! So, I hope that everyone will work together to support me in what I am going to do next!"

In the office, no one said anything, everyone looked at him.

Li Qian said with a smile on his face: "At the beginning, I created the five elements and my elements. Hua Ge thought that it would be the same without me, so I will let them know that it is very different with me and without me! And my song If I hold her up, I will beat her down with one hand! Now, Huaxia TV has decided that I can't do without them, and I can't play without them, but I just don't want to play with them! I'm going to find a provincial Taiwan cooperation! Because no matter before, now, or in the future, I am always full of confidence in my works!"

"So, I'm not afraid of anyone! Next, I want to let them know that with them or without them, I, or me, "Legend of the New White Snake" will always be "Legend of the New White Snake"! No matter which provincial TV station, this drama will be popular in the same way! Moreover, it is a big hit!"
