This star’s style is wrong

The film screening lasted until 6pm on the first day.

The viewing group of Xiangjiang Satellite TV has watched the first ten episodes.

Many people in the viewing group were still unsatisfied and wanted to continue watching.

However, the point of the movie viewing party is not to catch up on the show, but to confirm whether the show is worth buying.

Therefore, after watching the series, the viewing group still needs to have a meeting to discuss.

Hu Chunsheng looked at Jiang Minghe and asked, "Leader, do you think this is enough for today, should we continue tomorrow?"

Jiang Minghe rarely attends movie viewing parties. Even if he does, he might watch them casually and then find a place to have tea and rest.

The reason for this is that the types of TV series that Xiangjiang Satellite TV focuses on are actually more in line with the tastes of female viewers.

However, when he watched "Nirvana in Fire" this time, he really got into it and sat with the film viewing group for a whole day.

Jiang Minghe thought for a moment, stood up and said: "Dear colleagues, this movie viewing meeting is very important. I will work overtime today and go back to have a meeting to discuss the success of today's movie viewing. After this work is over, we will give everyone a vacation."

"Okay, leader." The viewing group has just finished watching the first ten episodes and has many thoughts to discuss.

Even if there is no meeting to discuss, when I go back to the hotel and lie on the bed, I will probably chat with my colleagues in the same room until midnight.

The first day of film viewing is over.

Jiang Minghe led the film viewing group out of the screening room. When passing through the aisle, he found that the movie in Screening Hall 1 was not over yet.

He looked back at his subordinates behind him and asked, "Which TV station is Hall 1?"

Not all of the twenty-five people in the Xiangjiang Satellite TV viewing group stayed in the screening room all day. Occasionally, someone would come out to take a breath and take a rest.

Film viewing groups from other TV stations are no exception.

The film viewing group employees of various TV stations also chatted while smoking and breathing.

Therefore, we basically all know which TV stations are coming to attend the film screening today.

"Boss, Hall 1 belongs to Donghai Satellite TV. I heard they have to work overtime tonight." A Xiangjiang Satellite TV employee replied.

"Let's go back and have a meeting." Jiang Minghe knew that Donghai TV was also moving very quickly, and the competition this time was indeed very fierce.

After all, the competition this time is likely to be a drama king, and every TV station is vying for it.

…

After the Xiangjiang Satellite TV viewing group returned to the hotel, they had a simple dinner and immediately held a meeting to discuss the content of the first ten episodes of "Nirvana in Fire".

"The rhythm of the first episode of this drama felt a bit tepid, and there were even some long shots, which is not a common technique in TV dramas. However, this drama really gets better and better the more I watch it."

"I also thought it was good-looking. I remembered many points, such as when the male protagonist met his great-grandmother, and when Princess Nihuang doubted the male protagonist's identity. These points were very able to arouse the audience's emotions."

"I suddenly discovered that Fang Xing's acting skills are really good. The contrast between his role this time and the male protagonist of "Hurious" is very big. He just stood there quietly, but it just made people feel that there were mountains and seas hanging upside down in his chest, and there were thousands of ravines in his chest. thousand."

"I feel that the audience for this drama may be both men and women. The way of transformation is very real, and Fang Xing's look this time is very popular among fans."

The film viewing group was discussing with great interest.

Jiang Minghe listened on the sidelines and basically heard good reviews.

He looked at the time. It was almost eight o'clock.

When he came back, he proposed a video conference with the senior management of the station, and it was set at eight o'clock in the evening.

He clapped his hands, interrupted the discussion of the film viewing group, and said: "Pause for a moment, I will have a video conference with the leaders of the station later to report the results of today's film viewing.

"Now, everyone will give a rating based on the episode they watched today."

Hu Chunsheng took out a TV series rating form, distributed it, and said: "We will suspend the discussion now and rate the series based on your opinions. Don't influence each other. Your subjective feelings will prevail."

The usual job of movie watching groups is to analyze TV series and give ratings, which are used as references for TV stations to purchase movies.

Therefore, all members of the viewing group present knew the scoring rules.

Everyone stopped discussing and began to fill in the score sheet.

Jiang Minghe looked at the staff in charge of equipment for the film viewing group and arranged: "Get ready for the video conference."

The employee took out his laptop and placed it on a separate table in the conference room so that the camera could capture the members of the viewing group.

Jiang Minghe moved the swivel chair, sat at the front, and straightened his suit.

After the film viewing group filled out the rating form, Hu Chunsheng asked someone to put it away and then began to make statistics.

Video conferencing is also started simultaneously.

"Thank you for your hard work, colleagues." Several senior executives of Xiangjiang Satellite TV appeared on the screen, and the station director first spoke to encourage the employees of the film viewing group.

"It's not hard work." The film-watching group was still very interested.

"Today's film screening went very smoothly. Due to the tight work and heavy tasks, we went straight to the point and reported the results of the first day to the leaders in the station." After Jiang Minghe finished speaking, he signaled Hu Chunsheng to start the report.

Hu Chunsheng got the calculated score sheet, raised it and gestured to the camera: "Dear leaders, this is the score sheet made by the film viewing group based on the first ten episodes of "Nirvana in Fire".

"This form has been faxed back. I will make a report here.

"According to the ratings of the first ten episodes of "Nirvana in Fire" by our film viewing group, the lowest score was 8.5 points, the highest score was 9.5 points, and the average score of 24 people was 9.07 points.

"This score is significantly higher than the average score of the film viewing group, and also higher than the 8.75 score of "The Pretender."

Although the members of Xiangjiang Satellite TV's viewing group are not completely fixed, the personnel changes are not significant.

Moreover, the film viewing group gave 24 ratings. Although the number is not large, it is enough to reflect the film viewing group's subjective evaluation of the TV series.

This time, the rating of "Nirvana in Fire" is higher than that of "The Pretender", which speaks volumes.

After Hu Chunsheng reported the data, he added: "Of course, this is just the rating on the first day. I have only watched the first ten episodes of "Nirvana in Fire" so far, and I am not sure about the subsequent episodes.

“According to the figures provided by Ark Culture, there are a total of 54 episodes of Nirvana in Fire, and 10 episodes only account for less than one-fifth.

"Therefore, the ratings on the first day can only be used as a reference and cannot fully reflect the quality of the series."

Jiang Minghe took the stack of score sheets and started to look through them.

On the score sheet, in addition to the comprehensive score, there are also more detailed scores and comments on professional points.

Jiang Minghe turned to the score sheet with a score of 8.5, glanced at the name, and asked: "Zhou Qilei, tell the leader, why did you give a score of 8.5?"

The film viewing group of the TV station is a position specially arranged for film selection, so the ratings are written by name. After the ratings are completed, the ratings occasionally need to be discussed.

This member of the viewing group named Zhou Qilei stood up, scratched the back of his head, and replied a little embarrassedly: "I give it an 8.5. It's not that I think this drama is not good to watch. In fact, this score is also very high. Unexpectedly, it turned out that I became the lowest scorer.”

"Hahaha..." The person next to him couldn't help laughing at the same time.

Zhou Qilei continued: "The costumes of this drama are very good, unlike many ancient puppets where the colors are so strong that they are suspected of color pollution.

“If I want to talk about a shortcoming, it is that the pace of the plot in the early stage is a bit slow. With the camera and soundtrack, it always makes people feel that the director is not in a hurry to tell the story.

“Of course, this feeling also gives this drama a very special look and feel, and it happens to fit the character of the protagonist ‘Mei Changsu’.

“To describe it in one word, it is ‘quiet’, the ‘quiet’ of a gentleman.

"There is a kind of magnanimity to drink a pot of tea, chat about a period of life, look at the world's situation indifferently, strategize, and win a thousand miles away."

The person on the side couldn't help but interject: "This is simply a good review of yours."

Zhou Qilei said speechlessly: "I didn't say I wanted to give a bad review, and 8.5 points is already very high. If I have to talk about a shortcoming, it is that the pace of the first episode is slow. For some impatient viewers who are used to seeing fierce conflicts, Maybe I can’t calm down and watch it slowly.”

Jiang Minghe praised him, pressed his hand to let him sit down, and then asked two more movie group staff to express their opinions.

After it was over, he turned his head and said to the camera: "Dear leaders, judging from the quality of the first ten episodes of "Nirvana in Fire", the quality of this drama is very high, and the ratings of the viewing groups are also very high.

"Although I haven't seen the follow-up episodes yet, I feel that the film purchase plan should be advanced, and the film purchase budget needs to be discussed as soon as possible.

"Other TV stations are also working overtime today and are moving slowly. There may be changes."

…

the other side.

The Donghai Satellite TV viewing group went directly back to the TV station to work overtime and have meetings after the first day of viewing.

Unlike Xiangjiang Satellite TV, since the headquarters of Donghai Satellite TV is in the city, there is no need for video conferencing and the meeting can be held directly back.

Sun Linhai, director of Donghai Satellite TV, also took the time to participate in this discussion.

The situation of the discussion meeting was similar to that of Xiangjiang Satellite TV. The evaluations given by the film viewing group were basically positive.

After discussing the quality of the series, deputy director Wei Shurong also asked the film purchasing director to analyze the film purchasing budget for "Nirvana in Fire".

The film purchasing director took the prepared budget sheet and reported: "According to the investment information we obtained for "Langya Bang", the total investment for this drama is 180 million, which is a large investment among S-level projects.

"Furthermore, this is also the drama that Ark Culture has invested the most in besides "Horse".

"Among them, the main investors include Ark Culture, Penguin Video, Penguin Pictures, and Maorong Fresh Food."

The total investment in a drama and the direction of filming expenses can also reflect the quality of the drama.

In particular, the composition of actors' remuneration greatly affects the quality of film and television dramas.

If the actor's salary ratio is too high, other shooting costs will be compressed.

This is also the reason why many idol dramas in the past few years worked hard to cut out pictures.

Because the investment was all spent on the film's salary, there was no money to shoot on location, and it was even difficult to coordinate the actors, so I had to use stand-ins to shoot and then cut out the pictures in a perfunctory manner.

Wei Shurong asked: "Is there a proportion of shooting expenses?"

The film purchasing director took out a form and said, "Yes, the total remuneration for actors is 70 million. Among them, Fang Xing's remuneration is 25 million, Wang Kai's 10 million..."

In the first four dramas of Ark Culture, Fang Xing was not paid.

This time, "Nirvana in Fire" attracted more investment.

If you don't get paid, it's equivalent to the investment in Ark Culture being diluted.

Therefore, Fang Xing offered a salary of 25 million yuan based on his own market conditions.

In fact, there was an S-level project that offered RMB 30 million to invite Fang Xing to play the male lead, but he didn't take it.

Therefore, the salary is not high.

After all, he is the male lead in four drama king-level TV series. His acting skills, image, and popularity are all top-notch.

If we really go outside to pick up the drama, there will be a queue of 30 million projects to grab people.

"According to the regulations of the State Administration of Radio and Television, the total remuneration of actors must not exceed 40% of the total cost. The remuneration of actors in "Nirvana in Fire" just meets this requirement." The film purchasing director added.

The State Administration of Radio and Television does have this regulation.

However, regulations are just regulations, and there are many ways to get around them when implemented.

According to the investment of 180 million in "Nirvana in Fire", the actors' salary is 70 million, and there is still a filming budget of 110 million.

The shooting budget is actually quite sufficient.

It can also reflect that the quality of the series is not bad.

Moreover, there are many actors from the National Theater and even military arts in the cast of "Nirvana in Fire".

The cast can also guarantee the quality of the series.

Moreover, in the first ten episodes, the main characters have basically appeared. Whether the performance is good or not, we already have the answer.

Therefore, the top management of Donghai Satellite TV has decided to enter the price negotiation stage, and now it depends on the price at which the premiere rights can be purchased.

According to the purchase price of ordinary TV series, no matter how much the producer invests, he must give priority to recovering the cost, and then consider profit.

Therefore, the total investment in a TV series is a reference for the purchase price.

Of course, the rapid development of online broadcasting in recent years has given producers more ways to make profits, and the prices for TV stations to purchase films are not as exaggerated as before.

The film purchasing director continued his analysis: "According to the analysis of the investment amount of "Nirvana in Fire", the price of the first broadcast rights should be between 2 million and 3 million per episode. Considering that there are many satellite TV stations participating in the competition, the price should be closer to 3 million .”

The price of 3 million per episode is already a sky-high price for a 54-episode TV series.

"Is this price too high?" a Donghai Satellite TV executive asked.

"It is indeed on the high side. If it is a general TV series, the budget given by our team for purchasing the film should be around 1.5 million. But for Ark Culture dramas, the competition is fierce. I predict that the final price of the first broadcast rights will be close to 3 million per episode. "The film purchasing director explained.

3 million for one episode, 54 episodes, which is 162 million, almost covering the total investment of "Nirvana in Fire".

This does not include interstitial advertisements and the division of accounts from video platforms.

The top executives of Donghai Satellite TV realized something.

"Nirvana in Fire" has not even started selling the premiere rights, and it is already certain that the cost will be recovered, and the income will be at least twice as much.

Of course, this is just an analysis of the film purchasing budget given by Donghai TV's film purchasing director, not the final transaction price.

Moreover, this price will also change due to competition from other TV stations.

"What about "A Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent"? Have you got a budget for purchasing the film?" Wei Shurong asked again.

The post-production speed of "A Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent" was faster than that of "Nirvana in Fire", and they even held a viewing party before "Nirvana in Fire".

"Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent" is also a popular TV series recently and a popular subject.

Donghai Satellite TV naturally sent people to attend the movie viewing party.

The film purchasing director pulled out another report and replied: "It has come out. According to the comprehensive analysis of various data, the total investment of "Warm Spring Night in Furong Tent" is 150 million, and the total number of episodes is 50. Analysis of the calculated film purchasing budget It’s 1.2 million episodes.”
