Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Brother Qiu, is it really useful to promote the movie on TV?"

Wen Jun looked at Lin Daoqiu nervously, and Zheng Danrui behind him was also a little uneasy. At this time, they were taking Lin Daoqiu to Huang Xizhao's office.

Although Lin Daoqiu came up with this idea, it was the two of them who brought it up to Feilong. If it didn't work out in the end, they would have to bear the blame.

However, after Feilong listened to Zheng Danrui and Zheng Danrui's proposal, he also felt that it was necessary to do this, so he immediately waved his hand and gave 100,000 yuan to Wenjun and Zheng Danrui as the cost of promoting the movie.

Although the money was brought, Zheng Danrui and Wen Juan were still worried. If the money was spent and it had no effect, Feilong would not be able to explain it.

"The actress from Shaw Brothers joined the cast with great enthusiasm. The latest masterpiece of the Hong family, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers will be jointly screened together. Please follow this line and report it."

In this era when mass entertainment is scarce, TV stations are definitely a good place to promote movies without spending too much money.

After they heard what Lin Daoqiu said, they felt that under such good conditions, it wouldn't be a bad thing to promote the movie on TV, not to mention there were so many gimmicks.

Maybe many people are not familiar with the name Huang Xizhao. He is the first Chinese general manager of Li's TV. He was also the executive manager of TVB in 1967.

Although he was in charge of Rei TV for only six short years, he caused huge troubles to TVB during these six years.

For this legendary elder in the industry, Lin Daoqiu had heard many stories of his deeds in later generations. He was actually very excited to meet him today.

When Wen Jun opened the door of Huang Xizhao's office, Lin Daoqiu saw Huang Xizhao processing documents at his desk.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Huang Xizhao immediately stopped what he was doing. He raised his head and looked at Lin Daoqiu and the other three, and then asked with a smile: "Who is this?"

"This is Mr. Lin Daoqiu, he is the producer of the "Master Qian" we wrote." Wen Jun quickly explained to Huang Xizhao.

Huang Xizhao just stood up and listened to Wen Juan's introduction. His mouth was slightly open and he looked at Lin Daoqiu with a look of surprise.

Fortunately, 51-year-old Huang Xizhao has seen a lot of storms and waves. After a while, he returned to normal, but the smile on his face seemed to become even brighter.

"Mr. Lin is indeed young and promising." Huang Xizhao walked up to Lin Daoqiu and shook hands with him.

"Mr. Huang is too polite. I'm just lucky. In fact, I am not worthy of my reputation as a producer. They praise me too much." Lin Daoqiu quickly shook his head.

Huang Xizhao didn't say anything about Lin Daoqiu's self-effacing remarks. He asked the three of them to sit down before returning to his seat.

"What do you want to see me for today?" Huang Xizhao knew that Lin Daoqiu must have come to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Since he came to see him, he must have something to talk about.

Lin Daoqiu directly explained the purpose of his visit: "Our movie will be released in theaters soon, so we want to promote it here on the TV station before it is released."

Huang Xizhao nodded while listening. It is not a bad thing to promote the movie on TV. As long as you choose the right place to promote it, it will be even more effective than newspapers and advertisements.

"What time period do you plan to place the advertisement?" Different time periods have different prices, and the prices vary depending on the number of seconds.

Lin Daoqiu had already thought about it before he came. He planned to play the promotional advertisement ten seconds before "Crocodile Tears" starts.

The reason why Lin Daoqiu is so optimistic about "Crocodile Tears" is all because of Huang Xizhao's crazy behavior.

"Happy Tonight" has always been TVB's signature program, and it can basically be said that it has no rivals. However, Huang Xizhao did not believe in this evil. He even made the decision to put "Crocodile Tears" in the same time slot as "Happy Tonight" to compete.

.

At first, everyone said that Huang Xizhao was crazy, but the final result surprised them. "Crocodile Tears" was able to beat "Happy Tonight" to the point where the ratings dropped, and I don't know how many people's glasses were broken.

"I want to place the promo fifteen seconds before Crocodile Tears starts."

Huang Xizhao didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu was interested in "Crocodile Tears". He thought Lin Daoqiu didn't know that this drama was competing with "Happy Tonight".

"Mr. Lin, do you want to change the time period? "Crocodile Tears" will be played at the same time as "Happy Tonight"." Huang Xizhao reminded Lin Daoqiu a little.

"No, I'll buy this seven-day period for five thousand yuan a day. If Mr. Huang agrees, we'll sign the contract immediately."

The price of 5,000 yuan for 15 seconds is still very reasonable, but TV commercials are signed on a quarterly basis, and I have never heard of signing on a daily basis.

Thinking that Lin Daoqiu didn't know the rules of the TV station, Huang Xizhao turned to look at Wen Jun, as if he wanted Wen Jun to explain to Lin Daoqiu.

Wen Jun had actually told Lin Daoqiu before, but Lin Daoqiu didn't take it seriously because he was sure that Huang Xizhao would agree to let him play like this.

Realizing that Wen Juan was looking at him without saying anything but with a wry smile on his face, Huang Xizhao immediately realized that Lin Daoqiu actually knew about it, but since he came to talk to him even though he knew about it, it was a bit strange.

"Mr. Lin, the TV station's advertisements are signed on a quarterly basis. You only buy them for seven days, which is against the rules, and it is not easy for us to arrange." Huang Xizhao politely rejected Lin Daoqiu's request.

However, after hearing what Huang Xizhao said, Lin Daoqiu just smiled and said, "Ms. Huang, don't you think I'm here to make trouble unreasonably?"

From the moment Lin Daoqiu walked in, Huang Xizhao's eyes had been on him. Although he looked very young, for some reason Huang Xizhao always felt that Lin Daoqiu had a very calm temperament.

And this kind of calm temperament should not appear in a person of his age. If you really want to explain it, you can only describe him as young and mature.

"It seems that Mr. Lin has a way to convince me?" Huang Xizhao heard the meaning of Lin Daoqiu's words.

Lin Daoqiu smiled and nodded. He suddenly stood up and walked to the middle of the room. Then he turned around and said, "Don't Mr. Huang think this is a good business for the TV station?"

Huang Xizhao looked at Lin Daoqiu with a puzzled expression. For TV stations, they prefer stable advertisers rather than such quick money.

"The movies in Xiangjiang have been booming in the past few years. I believe Mr. Huang can also see it. In the future, the box office of movies will only get higher and higher. For TV stations, they only need to advertise 50 movies here every year, which is at least two million

income.”

Lin Daoqiu paused deliberately, then stretched out four fingers and said: "If there are one hundred, that's four million. What will happen if Li can get four million more every year?"

It has to be said that Lin Daoqiu's words are hard not to remind people. Huang Xizhao doesn't even expect to have four million. If he could have an extra two million every year to film TV series, he would be extremely happy.

Huang Xizhao is a smart man. He will not ask stupid questions like we can do wireless things. After all, TV stations rely on ratings, and businesses with higher ratings will naturally be more inclined to that one.

As long as Li's ratings are higher than those of TVB, more people who make movies will naturally choose Li's instead of TVB.

"I have to say, Mr. Lin, your words have completely convinced me. I will give you the seven days you asked for. The contract can be signed now."

Huang Xizhao stood up and walked to Lin Daoqiu. He once again stretched out his hand and said: "If Mr. Lin encounters any trouble in the future, just come to me. Li's door is always open for you."

Lin Daoqiu originally came to discuss advertising, but in the end he received an olive branch from Huang Xizhao inexplicably.

After all, Huang Xizhao is famous for promoting young talents, and only he dares to promote newcomers under the age of 30 to produce programs to compete with TVB. It is actually normal for Lin Daoqiu to fall into his eyes.
