This star’s style is wrong

After a meeting and discussion, Xiangjiang Satellite TV's evaluation of "Mountains and Seas" and "Spring River Plumbing" was more inclined to "Spring River Plumbing".

Mainly the film viewing group of Xiangjiang Satellite TV, the opinions are relatively unified, and they believe that "Spring River Water Warmth" is more suitable for the audience of Xiangjiang Satellite TV.

However, if we only talk about the two dramas themselves, the viewing group generally felt that after watching "Mountains and Seas", they were even more impressive.

Because the emotions expressed in this drama are more restrained than "Spring River Plumbing" and also deeper than "Spring River Plumbing".

However, the main purpose of viewers watching TV is to entertain and kill time.

Especially the audience of Xiangjiang Satellite TV is mainly the audience of idol dramas.

Comparatively speaking, the makeup in "Spring River Water Warm" is more beautiful, while the makeup in "Mountains and Seas" looks like the face is covered with wind and sand.

Therefore, Jiang Minghe also agreed with the decision of other leaders in the station and strived to purchase the first broadcast rights of "Spring River Plumbing".

Of course, striving for "Spring River Water Warmth" does not mean giving up on "Mountains and Seas".

Although the two dramas have the same theme, if they can be won at a smaller cost, it would be a better choice for the two dramas to be broadcast back to back.

Even if they fail to grab "Love of Mountains and Seas" in the end, Xiangjiang Satellite TV will still compete. This can raise the price of "Love of Mountains and Seas" and consume the budgets of other TV stations. Then they can more easily win "Spring River Plumbing".

…

Similar discussions are taking place within major TV stations and video platforms.

After all, the price of these two dramas will not be less than 100 million, and "Spring River Plumbing" may exceed 200 million.

For such an important decision, the senior management will definitely hold a meeting to discuss it.

Movie viewing groups on various major TV and video platforms have similar reviews of the two dramas.

Most people think that "Mountains and Seas" has more profound emotions, but the plot is very painful.

"Spring River Plumbing" is closer to modern people's thinking, the makeup is more modern, the pictures are beautiful, and the scenery is good.

Taken together, the ratings of the two dramas are not much different.

The acting skills are basically online, the only difference is between good and better.

Therefore, major TV stations and video platforms are discussing which drama to compete for.

All TV stations and video platforms are definitely talking about the two dramas together. If they can win them together, everyone will be happy.

If not, the order will be sorted out.

…

Donghai Satellite TV also held a meeting to discuss this issue.

And the leaders of Donghai Taiwan are more inclined to "Spring River Water Warmth".

Looking at the quality of the series alone, there is not much difference between the two dramas, just different styles.

However, one piece of data is crucial.

That is, "Spring River Water Warm" has 40 episodes, while "Mountains and Seas" only has 23 episodes.

This means that "Mountains and Seas" will be basically finished in two weeks, while "Spring River Water Warmth" can be broadcast for almost a month.

TV stations broadcast TV series during prime time every night except weekends.

If the prices of the two dramas are not much different, then it is definitely more cost-effective to buy "Spring River Plumbing".

Therefore, some leaders on Donghai Satellite TV also proposed "Spring River Plumbing".

However, unlike Jiang Minghe, Wei Shurong was determined to buy "Mountains and Seas".

Not only because Ark Culture is a company of Donghai, but also because Donghai TV is not like Xiangjiang TV, which mainly focuses on the idol drama market.

The audience of Donghai Satellite TV is more receptive to more profound TV series.

…

Of course, various TV stations and video platforms will hold meetings to discuss it, but it is not their decision to decide whether they can buy the right to premiere the TV series.

There are too many competing TV stations, and there will definitely be situations where some TV stations can’t get either of the two dramas.

On the video website side, Wandou Video is basically certain to broadcast "Mountains and Seas". As for whether it will be a solo broadcast or a simulcast, it depends on whether other video websites are willing to spend money.

…

During this period, all the top ten satellite TV stations in the country sent people to the Ark Culture headquarters to contact them.

Fang Xing met with many provincial TV leaders and discussed the premiere intention of "Mountains and Seas", but it has not been finalized yet.

Among the many TV stations that came to contact us, there was one TV station that was special.

That is Ning Province Satellite TV.

If ranked according to the provincial satellite TV rankings, Ning Province Satellite TV does not rank among the top ten in the country.

This resulted in Ning Province Satellite TV having no advantage when competing for popular TV series. It could not afford to pay too high a price, and its audience base was relatively small.

Satellite TV stations that are relatively low-ranking like this usually focus on following popular TV series or premiering non-popular dramas, and rarely compete for popular TV series.

However, this time, Ning Province Satellite TV sent its deputy director to Ningyun, hoping to premiere "Mountains and Seas".

Let's talk about it, but Ning Province Satellite TV's price is not high.

If it were another TV station, they would probably reject it directly after hearing the price. After all, this price would not even recoup the investment.

However, Ning Province Satellite TV is a bit special.

Because "Mountains and Seas" was filmed in Ning Province, the poverty alleviation story it tells is also about the Xihaigu area of ​​Ning Province.

Therefore, Ning Province Satellite TV should broadcast both emotion and reason.

If it cannot be broadcast for the first time, Ning Province Satellite TV will definitely follow suit.

However, when Fang Xing was filming in Ning Province, he received a lot of help from local departments, and the drama was about poverty alleviation work in Ning Province. Among the TV stations that premiered it, there should be one from Ning Province TV.

Therefore, Fang Xing communicated this matter with his superior department, who took the lead in the discussion.

The audience base of Ning Province Satellite TV is relatively small compared to the top provincial satellite TV.

If it is broadcast by multiple satellite TV stations, it is not too difficult to add one satellite TV station in Ning Province.

Of course, because the audience base is smaller than other satellite TV, the price needs to be negotiated.

If it is a joint broadcast by the top five provincial satellite TVs such as Donghai Satellite TV and Xiangjiang Satellite TV, the first broadcast price is usually half and half, but Ning Provincial Satellite TV cannot give such a high price, otherwise it will cost a lot of money to broadcast this drama.

At this time, it will be much smoother if the superior department takes the lead in negotiation.

…

Because the superior department took the lead in negotiating the star broadcast of "Mountains and Seas" this time, the negotiations went relatively smoothly.

Guo Chunlei, the leader of the State Administration of Radio and Television, held a meeting with the heads of several satellite TV stations and basically decided on it.

In the end, "Mountains and Seas" premiered on many provincial satellite TV stations at a price of 5 million per episode.

Moreover, there are a lot of satellite TVs for the premiere this time. In addition to Ning TV, there are also Donghai TV, Jiangnan TV, Kyoto TV and Fu Province TV.

The situation of Fu Province Satellite TV is similar to that of Ning Province Satellite TV.

Fuzhou Satellite TV is also not ranked among the top ten domestic provincial satellite TVs.

However, the story of "Mountains and Seas" takes place in Ning Province, and the poverty alleviation work in Xihaigu area of ​​Ning Province was to arrange one-to-one assistance in Fu Province.

Fujian Province sent cadres to the Xihaigu area of ​​Ning Province to help Minning Village carry out poverty alleviation work, promote the export of labor services and develop the economy of Ning Province.

Therefore, this drama tells the story of Ning Province, and it also tells the story of Fu Province.

Since the higher-level departments have taken the lead in negotiating to allow Ning Province Satellite TV to premiere "Mountains and Seas", we cannot favor one over the other. Fuzhou Satellite TV will naturally be among the premiere broadcasters.

Therefore, this time "Love of Mountains and Seas" will premiere on five satellite TVs, Donghai TV, Jiangnan TV, Kyoto TV, Fujian TV and Ning TV.

This meeting led by Guo Chunlei was also attended by Jiang Minghe, deputy director of Xiangjiang Satellite TV.

However, in the end, because there were too many simulcast TV stations, and five satellite TV stations broadcasted it at the same time, the ratings each satellite TV received would be much less.

Therefore, Xiangjiang Satellite TV finally decided to abandon "Mountains and Seas" and strive for "Spring River Plumbing".

After all, Xiangjiang Satellite TV had an internal meeting to discuss, and it was originally more inclined to "Spring River Plumbing". Now that five satellite TV stations are broadcasting "Mountains and Seas", Xiangjiang Satellite TV naturally does not want to join in the fun.

In the end, "Mountains and Seas" sold the premiere rights for a single episode of 5 million and a total of 115 million for the 23 episodes.

Although this price is not sky-high, it is already close to the price ceiling of a single episode of a TV series.

Just by relying on the first broadcast rights, Ark Culture has recovered most of its investment.

Moreover, this price is actually the result of negotiations led by the State Administration of Radio and Television.

After all, the superior department took the lead in the negotiation, and this drama is a poverty alleviation theme advocated by the state. It is not easy for the lion to open its mouth and ask for a high price.

Moreover, if the price is too high, Ning Province Satellite TV will not be able to make a profit from broadcasting this drama.

Therefore, the final price was set at 5 million per episode.

…

the other side.

After "The Love of Mountains and Seas" was finalized on the satellite TV station, "Spring River Plumbing" became the target of competition for other provincial satellite TV stations.

Fenfan Entertainment hired a first-class domestic team to shoot a large-scale S+ production, and it is a new drama by newly-minted Gladiolus queen Liu Shiying.

This drama has been engraved with the genes of becoming a hit since it was launched.

Therefore, Xiangjiang Satellite TV, Jiangcheng Satellite TV, Shencheng Satellite TV and many other provincial satellite TVs began to actively contact Fanfan Entertainment.

Moreover, this time no higher-level department came forward to negotiate.

Fanfan Entertainment spent money on the drama in order to make money. They spent a lot of money to hire Liu Shiying and many first-line actors. They must recoup the cost.

Therefore, the price of "Spring Plumbing" is getting higher and higher due to competition from many satellite TV stations.

It reached 5.5 million per episode, and was finally won by Xiangjiang TV, Jiangcheng TV, and Lanjiang TV for a total price of 220 million.

The TV premiere rights to both shows were sold.

After the news came out, major entertainment media began to report extensively:

[Two popular dramas are scheduled to premiere on satellite TV. "Mountains and Seas" is as good as "Spring River Plumbing", and the price is less than half of the latter. 】

[The price is double that of the competition. How is "Spring River Plumbing" better than "Mountains and Seas"? 】

[In the showdown between the newly promoted Gladiolus as the Emperor and the Queen, Fang Xing lost in the first round, and the price of Liu Shiying's new drama exceeded 200 million. 】

[Liu Shiying rejected Fang Xing and chose "Spring River Water Warmth". It is not unreasonable for it to be popular all over the world. She can always choose the most correct one among many choices. 】

After these news reports came out, they quickly became hot searches.

Originally, fans were arguing online every day because of the two dramas.

Now it’s good, in the first round of the premiere rights price, “Spring River Plumbing” won.

Zhu Yiting’s fan base, managed by Fanfan Entertainment, opened champagne on the spot and began to post online:

【Kill twice as many times as you wake up, you deserve to be brave. 】

[Is it useful to win Best Actor in Gladiolus? Aren’t the prices of new dramas unbeatable? 】

[I said before that the total price couldn't be beat because of the small number of episodes. But now it's better and the price of a single episode can't be beat. What else do FX fans have to say this time? 】

Regarding the price of the first broadcast rights of "Mountains and Seas", people in the TV industry basically know the reasons.

When a TV series is broadcast on a star, the price of the first broadcast rights cannot sometimes be exorbitant.

actually.

This is not the first time that Ark Culture’s drama has involved higher-level departments in negotiations.

When choosing a broadcast platform for "Cyclonus", it was ultimately broadcast on CCTV.

At that time, the price of a single episode was 4.5 million per episode. If we had let the major TV stations compete, the price could easily exceed 5 million.

However, in the end, Fang Xing still let "Crazy" be broadcast on CCTV.

Without him, "Hurry" can pass the review more smoothly if it is broadcast on CCTV.

If "Crazy" were to be broadcast on other provincial satellite TV stations, a lot of content would have to be cut if it wanted to pass the censorship review.

Therefore, CCTV purchased the first broadcast rights of "Hurious Blast" at a relatively low price, but CCTV also guaranteed that "Hurious Blast" could pass the review smoothly.

This is the off-site factor that affects the price of TV series.

This time's "Mountains and Seas" is similar.

This drama involves poverty alleviation work in Ning Province and Fujian Province and needs to be broadcast on these two satellite TV stations. However, these two satellite TV stations are ranked outside the top ten in the country and cannot afford the right to premiere the popular drama.

The higher-level department takes the lead in negotiation, so prices cannot be set randomly.

certainly.

The superior department did not deliberately lower the price. The price of 5 million was actually the result of calculation.

"Mountains and Seas" invested 150 million. In addition to the actors' remuneration, the bulk of the expenditure was on location shooting.

Most of the scenes in the play were shot in Ning Province, all on location.

The cost of shooting on location is much higher than that of studio shooting, so the investment for "Mountains and Seas" is not low.

The price of a single episode is 5 million, which can recover the cost of 115 million.

Coupled with the income from the video website, even if the show does not become popular, the producer can still recover the cost.

Moreover, this is based on the situation that "Mountains and Seas" is not popular. If the show becomes popular, the goal is of course not just to recover the cost.

Therefore, the price of 5 million per episode is a relatively reasonable price for "Mountains and Seas".

Everyone in the industry knows that the price is reasonable, but there is no premium.

"Spring River Water Warmth" is different.

This drama was invested and filmed by Fanfan Entertainment, and Liu Shiying, a new TV queen, joined the show. It needs traffic and a big name, so naturally it can ask for a sky-high price, and the final transaction price does have a premium.

However, fans don't care about these inside stories.

Especially the traffic fans, all they saw was the price of the two dramas, and then they started to mock "Mountains and Seas" crazily.

[Shiying really has a good eye. Except for the dramas she filmed in the ten years after her debut, she had no choice in the first few years, all the dramas she starred in later became popular. Do you still need to think about the reason why you didn’t choose "Mountains and Seas" this time? 】

[Fang Xing, Wu Zhikang, and a group of veteran actors from the national team were promoted to great effect, but in the end, they were killed twice as much as the new drama. 】

[I thought Gladiolus’ Best Actor award had any value, is this it? 】

[Shiying made the right choice by choosing Yi Ting. If she had chosen FX, she would have had to go to a deserted place and eat sand for three months, and then be killed by Yi Ting! 】

[Now that I see the frustrated look of FX fans, I feel quite comfortable. 】

In the carnival of fans, there are occasionally some strange comments mixed in:

[FX is just a singer, where do you get the fans? 】

[Support the beauty Liu Shiying to kill Fang Xing, beauty is justice. 】

[Originally I wanted to support Fang Xing, but you are a waiter and you are not with Xiangyu in the new drama. I am going to rebel! 】(End of this chapter)
