Li Fan asked: "Brother Hu, I remember there is another way to cooperate with the TV station, which is to determine the final price based on the ratings of the TV series, right?"

Hu Fei nodded and said: "There is indeed such a method, but few producers will adopt this method. Because the ratings are too mysterious and no one can predict it, so it is better to buy it out in one go to be safe. Brother, you don’t want to use this method, do you?”

Li Fan smiled and said: "Indeed, that's what I think. We sold "Yue Nv Sword" for 1 million per episode. Of course, it was only the first round of exclusive broadcast rights. Then, we agreed with the TV station on a benchmark rating The subsequent revenue will be determined based on the ratings. For every 0.1 higher than the benchmark rating, the price of each episode will increase by 100,000 yuan. "If the final average ratings are lower than the benchmark ratings, then the TV station only needs to pay 80% of the purchase price, which is 800,000 per episode."

After hearing this, Hu Fei was stunned. This kind of cooperation was unheard of. He needed to settle the score carefully.

First of all, with a price of 1 million per episode, it is already guaranteed to make 2 million.

After that, we negotiate with the TV station to set a benchmark rating, using the benchmark rating of 2.1 as an example. For every 0.1 higher than the benchmark rating, the price of each episode will increase by 100,000.

In other words, if the final average ratings are 2.2, then the price of each episode is 1.1 million.

If it's 2.3, that's 1.2 million.

…

If it is 3.1, the price of each episode will reach 2 million.

Hu Fei's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. As expected of Brother Li, he could figure out this kind of cooperation.

Although, if the final ratings are lower than the benchmark ratings, then each episode can only sell 800,000, which is 12 million for 15 episodes.

Compared with the cost of 13 million, it would be a loss of 1 million, but the risk is so small that it can be ignored.

The most important thing is that TV stations should also be very interested in this kind of cooperation. For them, this is less risky than a direct buyout at a high price.

Although if the TV series has high ratings, part of the money they earn will be given to the producer, but compared to the risk, making less money is nothing.

at last,

There is another most wonderful thing about this cooperation method, and it is also what Hu Fei admires most about Li Fan.

That is, there are so many TV stations now wanting to buy "Yue Nv Sword". So, who can finally succeed in buying it depends on who has the most courageous benchmark ratings.

Whoever gives the lowest benchmark ratings will ultimately make the purchase.

Because, for the producer, the lower the benchmark ratings given by the TV station, the higher the probability that the producer's TV series will reach the benchmark ratings. After that, the higher the price of each episode will be.

As for the major TV stations, in order to be able to bid for this TV series, they will definitely set the benchmark ratings to the lowest value they can afford.

Of course, the major TV stations must carefully calculate what this minimum value is based on all aspects of information.

I am afraid that the major TV stations will also have a headache because there are too many factors to consider, including the estimation of the final ratings of the TV series, the final advertising revenue, etc... and so on.

As for the producers, they only need to wait and see which TV station gives the lowest benchmark ratings.

This is really getting better the more I think about it.

Of course, the producer also needs to consider the strength of the TV station.

For example, Modu TV gave a benchmark rating of 2.5, but a local TV station gave a benchmark rating of 2.0.

Then, the producer will definitely choose Magic City TV. After all, the ratings of David TV are definitely not comparable to those of local TV stations.

In addition, the producers themselves also need to measure the benchmark ratings. If the major TV stations unite and give very high minimum ratings, they will suffer a big loss.

…

When Hu Fei left the hotel where Li Fan was staying, he was in a better mood than before he arrived.

He returned to Qingyu Film and Television and told the senior management of Qingyu Film and Television about the cooperation method proposed by Li Fan. The senior management was also very happy and agreed very much with the cooperation method proposed by Li Fan.

Although this kind of cooperation requires a prerequisite to achieve good returns, that is, the ratings of "Yue Nv Sword" must not be low.

But they are confident.

The major TV stations were slightly stunned when they saw the cooperation method proposed by Entertainment Film and Television, and then began to make their own plans.

Ultimately, they acknowledged that this collaborative approach was attractive to them.

Although several major TV stations still want to buy out directly, it doesn't matter if the price is higher, but Entertainment Film and Television has decided on that kind of cooperation. They have no choice but to hold an emergency meeting to discuss and calculate the benchmark ratings. How much can you successfully buy "Yue Nv Sword" and maximize the TV station's profits?

Although they also know that bidding for multiple TV stations will only kill each other and benefit the entertainment, film and television fishermen, but who made them miss the best buying opportunity.

Who will get the first-round exclusive broadcast rights of "Yue Nv Sword"? This is expected to take several days to determine.

It's just that Love Entertainment Film and Television is not in a hurry, so Li Fan will naturally be even less anxious.

…

Li Fan waited until Hu Fei left and then logged into the Xia Fan Tribe Forum.

At this time, the focus of discussion among martial arts fans has shifted from the TV series "Yue Nv Sword" to "Liancheng Jue".

Because today is November 14th, and the new issue of "Laughing Rivers and Lakes" will be released tomorrow. Chapters 4 to 6 of "The Secret of Liancheng" are about to meet them.

In the past few days, there has been an ongoing debate about whether the follow-up plot of "The Secret of the City" will continue the tragic atmosphere, or whether Di Yun will finally gain the halo of the protagonist and start to become awesome and fly.

All martial arts fans have been looking forward to tomorrow's new issue of "Laughing Rivers and Lakes" for a long time.

…

November 15th is another day that must get up early for many martial arts fans in Funan Province.

Although the circulation of "Laughing Rivers and Lakes" is now increasing issue by issue, and this issue has 300,000 more copies than the first-day distribution of the previous issue, compared to the demand of the majority of martial arts fans Said, it is still too little.

People who get up early are always lucky. Many people got their wish to get the latest issue of "Laughing Rivers and Lakes" early this morning.

They either walked quickly to their homes, or they chose a place to sit near bookstores or newsstands, and eagerly opened the pages of "Laughing Rivers and Lakes" they had just bought.

Chapter 4 is called: Water Spinach.

When they saw the title, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. They all remembered that Qi Fang once called Di Yun "water spinach."

Now, the title is Water Spinach, what does it mean?

Everyone can't wait to know the answer.

Of course, before that, there was another thing they were most concerned about, and that was whether Ding Dian was dead?

At the end of the third chapter, it was only said that Ding Dian was incurable poison, but it was not said that Ding Dian died.

Many people are expecting that at the beginning of this fourth chapter, Ding Dian miraculously survives due to some chance.

For this reason, many people in the Xia Fan Tribe Forum debated whether Ding Dian would die or not.

It's a pity that "The Secret of the City" is not a fairy tale. At the beginning of the fourth chapter, all readers sadly discovered that Ding Dian was finally dead.

Although a week had passed, readers could not help but feel sad when they saw that Ding Dian was finally dead.

The joy of finally seeing the new chapter of "Liancheng Jue" and the sadness when reading the content of "Liancheng Jue" are two completely opposite emotions that fill the hearts of every reader.
