Chapter 452 The highest bidder wins
After explaining to Yang Liwen about [The Wandering Earth], Gu Wei thought for a while and asked again.
"How is the progress of [Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom] over there? Didn't you organize a viewing party a few days ago? What are the quotes from various satellite TV and video platforms now?"
This ancient costume fairy tale filmed at the beginning of this year has now officially entered the sales stage.
Starring Gu Wei and Yang Mi, two super popular actors, and their second ancient puppet show after "Ancient Swords and Legends", "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" can be said to be full of all kinds of hits.
Both major local satellite TV and online video platforms are unanimously optimistic about it and believe it will be the most popular TV series in 2017.
Therefore, when selling films now, the competition among all parties is also very fierce, with each bidding higher than the other.
Yang Liwen took a paper document and handed it to Gu Wei.
"Boss, actually I wanted to talk to you about this.
For the first-round screening rights of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", Mango Channel currently has the highest bid from a local satellite TV company, with a single episode price of 5 million and a total price of 290 million.
However, Dragon TV and Blueberry Channel are willing to broadcast on two channels, each paying 3 million for a single episode, and the two companies offer a total of 348 million.
In terms of online video platforms, Tengxun Video, which has the closest relationship with our company, has the highest price for exclusive broadcast rights, with a price of 6 million for a single episode.
What’s interesting is that Youku Video and LeTV Video are also willing to jointly purchase it, and they quoted a price of 7 million yuan for a single episode, for a total price of 406 million yuan.”
Gu Wei listened to Yang Liwen's words and looked at the bidding reports from various platforms in his hand, feeling very surprised.
"It's only been more than a year, but the copyright fees for TV series have increased so much?"
If it were sold at the highest price mentioned by Yang Liwen just now, the copyright fee for "Three Lives Three Worlds" alone would be as high as 754 million for the first round of satellite TV broadcast rights and online broadcast rights.
You must know that last year's popular movie "A Little Smile Is Alluring" starring Gu Wei, including overseas copyrights and product placement, only sold a total of about 400 million.
Just over a year has passed, and the domestic copyright fees of "Three Lives Three Worlds" alone are more than 300 million higher than that of "Weiwei".
Throughout last year, Gu Wei was focused on making movies, so throughout 2016, no TV series in which he participated was released.
The most recently aired TV series [Nirvana in Fire] was aired in September 2015, and it is now November 2016.
This year, Gu Wei has successively released three blockbuster movies, "Xiu Chun Knife 2", "Detective Chinatown 2" and "Operation Mekong". It can be said that he has gained a lot in the film industry, but there is nothing in the TV series.
Therefore, he has never paid attention to the copyright prices of TV series in the industry.
"Boss, considering the popularity of you and Yang Mi, and the quality of this drama, this price is really not high.
You may not have paid much attention to it. In the past year, the copyright prices of TV dramas in the industry, especially those of high-quality dramas with big sales potential, have skyrocketed.
In the first half of the year, our company's Nazha and Lu Han filmed the ancient costume fairy tale "Zhe Tian Ji", and the rights were just sold some time ago.
The first-round broadcast rights for local satellite TV were bought by Mango Channel, and the online rights were purchased jointly by several video websites.
Although they don’t announce the price to the public, it’s no secret to us insiders.
[Zhitianji] sold a total of 670 million in copyright fees, and the transaction price of a single episode was as high as 11 million.
Of course, this is also because Luhan and Nazha are both very popular now.
Therefore, the quotations offered by various major TV stations and platforms for our film "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" are not high at all. "
Gu Wei touched his chin and nodded.
"Understood"
"Boss, which one should we choose?"
Yang Liwen asked again.
"Of course the highest bidder gets it!"
Gu Wei decided, with a price difference of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, there was nothing to hesitate about.
"Okay, I will go and communicate with the local satellite TV and video platform that quoted the price."
After reporting her work to Gu Wei, Yang Liwen hurriedly left the office, anxious to complete the tasks ordered by her boss.
Gu Wei also continued to sit in the office, looking at some documents of the company, and dealing with some matters that required his decision.
In the afternoon, in the office, Gu Wei finished some work at hand and looked at his watch. It was two o'clock soon.
He packed up his things, put on his coat, went downstairs and got into his nanny car and drove all the way to the airport.
The movie "Sewing Machine Band" directed by Dapeng was finished in the small town of Ji'an two days ago. Nazha's plane arrived this afternoon. After booking the flight, she eagerly told Gu Wei the news. Naturally, she hoped that Gu Wei would go. Pick her up at the airport.
After a while, Gu Wei's black Mercedes-Benz nanny car arrived at the parking lot at the VIP exit of Beijing International Airport.
There was no one around. Gu Wei got out of the car wearing a mask and a peaked cap. He was wearing a dark brown fashionable woolen coat and a pair of black leather boots. He was tall and slender. Even though only one pair of eyes was exposed, he looked... Still handsome and extraordinary.
Anyone who sees those eyes can't help but imagine what kind of peerless appearance he will have under the mask.
Gu Wei raised his arm and glanced at the time.
About ten minutes later, Naza appeared in his sight with several people from her team.
Originally, Nazha was pushing a suitcase of her own and walked in the front, but after seeing Gu Wei, she threw the suitcase to her assistant, ran a few steps to Gu Wei, and happily gave him a big hug.
Gu Wei picked up Naza in cooperation, and he could feel her joy.
The two of them didn't stay outside for long and bent down to get into the nanny car. A group of people from Nazha's team also got into other company cars.
Sitting in the car, Nazha took off the mask on her face, revealing a big smile.
"Do you miss me?"
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows.
"You came back from the celebration banquet of [Operation Mekong River] some time ago. It was less than a month ago."
Nazha quit, holding Gu Wei's arm with both hands and swinging around.
"Don't miss me even one day!"
"Okay, okay, I miss you."
Gu Wei compromised.
"Hehe, I miss you too."
The nanny car came out of the airport and drove directly back to the Palm Springs International Apartment Complex without going to the company.
Naza entered the house, threw her suitcase aside, changed her shoes, walked to the bedroom, and lay down on the big bed.
“It’s still comfortable at home!”
Gu Wei came in, took off his coat and hung it up, then walked to the bed in the master bedroom and looked at Nazha who was playing tricks on the bed in a funny way.
"Why, are the conditions of the [Sewing Machine Band] crew so bad?
I will have to talk to Director Da Peng when I get the chance."
After listening to Gu Wei's words, Nazha sat up on the bed.
"That's not true. The main filming location for our crew is in the small town of Ji'an. The conditions in that place are limited."
Since Nazha followed Gu Wei, she has had the best food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even if she goes out to film and run activities, all the treatment is top-notch.
She is not very ambitious, has no ambition in acting, and is not willing to endure hardship. Gradually, her personality becomes more and more like a princess.
The two were chatting when the doorbell rang outside. Gu Wei walked over to open the door, and the assistant outside handed him a large bag of food.
There are many kinds of things inside, including two boxes of beef and mutton slices, different types of vegetables and some fruits.
"Thanks, Chaoyue~"
"I'll leave if it's okay, boss"
Gu Wei nodded.
Then he came to the kitchen with a big bag, took out everything, and started washing vegetables.
Gu Wei asked his assistant to buy these things on the way. He planned to make hot pot with Nazha at home in the evening.
After a while, Nazha, who was lying in bed in the bedroom, noticed that Gu Wei was still not coming. When she walked out, she found that Gu Wei was making food in the kitchen, so she went over to help him.
The meat and vegetables are all ready-made and only need simple processing before you start eating.
Nazha's first meal back home in the capital was a delicious hot pot meal with Gu Wei.
After dinner, the two of them cleared away the dishes together. Gu Wei sat on the soft sofa in the living room to rest. Nazha changed into a light yellow loose home clothes and tied up her hair. After washing, she walked to Gu Wei and sat down. A pair of slender beautiful legs were lifted up and placed on his body, and the white and tender feet moved back and forth.
He reached for the remote control, turned on the TV, selected a program for a while, then leaned against Gu Wei and started watching.
Gu Wei was attracted by the sound of the TV, put down his phone and looked up.
"Why did you fall in love with this kind of slow variety show? I remember that you really like watching "Running Man" and "Extreme Challenge", don't you?"
Naza took her eyes away from the TV program and turned to look at Gu Wei.
"I heard from my agent that the production team of [Flowers and Boys] sent you an invitation for the third season?"
Gu Wei nodded.
"It's true, but you also know that if it weren't for promoting movies and TV series, I rarely go on variety shows~"
Looking at Naza's fair little face, he suddenly thought that Naza had participated in [Hua Shao] in the original time and space.
"You don't want to participate in [Young Master Hua], do you?"
"Uh-huh!"
Naza smiled and nodded.
"The conflict in the first two seasons of this show was so serious, aren't you afraid?"
"The director of [Hua Shao] personally called me through my agent and said that the third season will be very harmonious. The program team will choose some young artists with good personalities, and there won't be so many things.
Moreover, the theme of the program has changed from "Budget Travel" in the first two seasons to "Adventure". 8 artists traveled across three continents and 40,000 kilometers in 27 days. Isn't it cool? "
Naza became more and more excited as she talked. He shook Gu Wei's arm and said coquettishly.
"Gu Wei, can you join me?
Last year we went to the United States to film together, and then we went to Los Angeles to buy a house. When we came back, we participated in "Running Man" in Saipan and played for a few days.
But I haven’t traveled all year this year. Apart from work, I am also filming. If you join [Flower Master] with me, just treat it as a trip, okay?
Moreover, with you here, I don’t have to worry about anything that might happen during the recording of the program.”
"Silly girl, a slow variety show is still a variety show after all. It's all work. You really think it's a trip."
Gu Wei was a little funny.
“It’s just that there are more cameras around me that are recording all the time, but the places we walk through are not wrong.
I took a look at the travel itinerary sent to me by the program team. There are various adventure trips on grasslands, deserts, sand dunes, jungles, and oceans. It looks like it will be very exciting! "
Naza's strong interest made Gu Wei hesitate.
Unlike the other party who simply listened to the show crew, Gu Wei had watched "Hua Shao 3" before. To be honest, there was really nothing messy about it. It was just a few young people traveling around the world on adventures.
The program team did not deliberately control the funds to create conflicts, and everyone had a great time.
He looked at Naza's expectant eyes and thought for a while.
"In this way, I will ask someone to communicate with Mango Channel. If they can meet some conditions, then there will be no problem if I accompany you to participate in this season."
"Yeah! Great!
As long as you agree to join, I think the [Hua Shao] program team will definitely agree to anything."
