This star’s style is wrong

"Dad, I want dad to play with me..."

After breakfast, Fang Xing was preparing to go to the company. Today he would have a viewing party for "Do You Know", and there were already movie viewing groups from three TV stations waiting at the company headquarters building.

However, as soon as Fang Xing went out, Qian Qian hugged his leg and refused to let go.

"I have work today, Qianqian is playing with grandma and mother at home, is that okay?" Fang Xing had already opened the car door, but was stunned that he couldn't get in.

"No, I want to play with daddy." Qianqian pouted and hugged her tighter.

"You are already three years old. You are a big baby. You have to learn to play alone." Fang Xing began to coax him seriously.

"Well..." Qian Qian squirmed and refused, and even flattened her mouth as if she wanted to cry.

Lu Xiang'er followed out and said, "How about you take her with you."

This is a solution, since it's not a particularly formal event.

"Qianqian wants to go to work with her father?" Fang Xing asked.

Qian Qian seemed to have discovered a new world. She had never thought of this option before, so she nodded vigorously: "Yeah..."

As soon as the grandma heard that her son was going to take her granddaughter to the company, she quickly followed her out, carrying big and small bags, and said carefully: "Do you really want to take her? Bring a change of clothes, a kettle, and toys. If you want to eat out, If so, don’t order anything heavy, or come back to eat.”

"Not so spoiled, Qian Qian will go to school in the future, right?" Fang Xing sat in the car and held the little princess on his knees.

Grandma Qianqian quickly went to tell the driver: "Xiao Chen, this car is not good, please change to another one with a safety seat. Be more steady when you drive later, and be sure to pay attention to safety."

The car that Fang Xing usually uses to go to work does not have a child safety seat installed, so it is troublesome to install it temporarily.

So just switch to an SUV with a safety seat.

"Okay, don't worry, Auntie." The driver nodded in agreement and went to the garage to drive the SUV over.

"Xiao Xiang, please follow and watch carefully. Don't let Qian Qian run away alone, especially not close to the road." Qian Qian's grandma continued to warn her. Anyway, she was worried about everything.

"Okay, don't worry, mom." Lu Xiang'er followed him and got into the car, then started to fasten the seat belt of Qian Qian's safety seat.

…

Half an hour later.

Fang Xing held Qian Qian's little hand and walked into the headquarters building of Ark Culture.

When all the company employees saw her, they squatted down and greeted the little girl warmly.

"Oh! Qianqian came to the company with her father to work. She is so well-behaved and cute."

Qian Qian was a little shy and hid behind Fang Xing, sticking out half of her head to look at these strange uncles and aunts.

Qiao Yinghong came out of the conference room and greeted her: "Ah, little princess Qianqian has finally come to meet her people."

Because Qiao Yinghong occasionally went to Fang Xing's home to report work and arrange Fang Xing's schedule, Qian Qian recognized her.

Qianqian felt much more relaxed when she saw someone she knew, but she forgot how to call someone.

Lu Xiang'er reminded from the side: "This is Aunt Hong, calling for someone."

She smiled shyly, called "Aunt Hong" and buried her head in Fang Xing's back.

After greeting the little princess, Qiao Yinghong stood up and said: "The movie viewing groups from Donghai TV, Xiangjiang TV, and Jiangnan TV are already waiting in the screening room. If there is no problem, we can start the movie viewing party."

"Then let's get started." Fang Xing has been paying attention to the post-production progress of "Do You Know" and is very satisfied with the edited film, so he is very confident about watching the film.

The film screening will begin.

Three screening rooms started playing "Know or Not" at the same time.

Fang Xing held Qian Qian's little hand and went over to say hello to the person in charge of the movie viewing group from the three satellite TV stations.

Jiangnan Satellite TV sent the film selection director Cao Sanchun. After saying hello, he asked them to continue watching the film and then continued to the next screening room.

Donghai Satellite TV is very interested in Ark Culture’s new drama, and deputy director Wei Shurong has been in charge of purchasing films for Ark Culture’s TV series.

So this time was no exception, Wei Shurong personally led the team here.

"Weitai came in person." Fang Xing saw Wei Shurong and waved hello.

Wei Shurong was surprised for a moment when he saw Fang Xing holding a little girl, and then said hello, "Brother Fang is such a model father."

"I was very clingy today, so I had to bring him here." Fang Xing spread his hands with a helpless expression on his face, but the helpless smile on his face was full of happiness no matter how he looked at it.

"At this age, you really should spend more time with me." Wei Shurong is someone who has been there and understands this feeling.

In fact, when he was young, he didn't spend much time with them. When his children were older, he was no longer needed. Now it's his turn to look forward to their children coming home every day.

"Yes, I also want to accompany her to grow up day by day, but I am worried that she will grow up in the blink of an eye." Fang Xing's current mood is that he hopes his daughter will grow up well and obediently, but he is afraid that she will grow up.

"Sit down and chat?" Wei Shurong wanted to take Fang Xing to sit down and chat about buying movies.

Fang Xing pointed to the screening room at the back and said, "There is another family that I haven't said hello to yet. I'll come over after I say hello."

Wei Shurong quickly answered: "What you said, don't be held back by Xiangjiang Satellite TV."

"No, I will definitely come." Fang Xing agreed quickly.

…

When we arrived at the last screening room, Xiangjiang Satellite TV sent the film selection director to lead the team.

Fang Xing was very familiar with Xiangjiang Satellite TV, but Jiang Minghe didn't come, so he briefly chatted with the director of the crew and asked Xiangjiang Satellite TV to talk, while he walked back to the second screening room.

"Qian Qian, dad has to work. Let's go upstairs to play. When we have lunch later, dad will have dinner with us." Lu Xiang'er led Qian Qian around the Ark Culture Headquarters campus.

In the screening room.

Wei Shurong pulled Fang Xing to the last row and started talking about the premiere of "Do You Know".

"Brother Fang, what are you planning to broadcast this time?"

He had just watched two episodes and was very satisfied with the overall quality of the show. As long as there are no major problems in the subsequent plot, the show is worth buying.

He also knew in advance that there was an important meeting at Xiangjiang Satellite TV, and Jiang Minghe could not come in person today. After waiting two days, Jiang Minghe would come in person, and the competition would be fierce if he wanted to discuss it again.

"It should be broadcast simultaneously on normal satellite TV and online platforms." Fang Xing has already considered this issue.

Today's TV dramas have many broadcast modes.

It can be broadcast simultaneously on satellite TV and online platforms, or it can be broadcast online first.

Due to the rapid development of video platforms, video platforms already have a greater say in the TV drama industry. After all, video platforms now give more money.

Of course, this also depends on the characteristics of the series.

Some dramas are specially filmed for online video platforms, and the plots tend to be light-hearted and refreshing.

Some dramas are more traditional dramas.

For example, "Mountains and Seas" is a very realistic drama, and the plot will make the audience feel a little heavy. In comparison, this type of drama is more suitable for broadcast on TV stations.

Of course, the online broadcast results of "Mountains and Seas" are not bad, because the drama is of high quality and has an overwhelming reputation, but strictly speaking, this type of drama is indeed more suitable for television broadcasts.

"Do You Know" is suitable for both TV stations and online platforms.

Moreover, this drama has a total of 73 episodes, and the first broadcast rights can sell at least several hundred million.

Therefore, the best broadcast mode is indeed simultaneous broadcast on satellite TV and online platforms.

In fact, Wei Shurong probably guessed it.

A 73-episode feature film, unless it fails to pass the review, will definitely be a star.

Wei Shurong came closer and asked: "Brother Fang, let me know the truth. The first broadcast rights are 3 million per episode. Does it meet the psychological expectations?"

"Do You Know" has a total of 73 episodes, with the first episode earning 3 million words.

The total price is 219 million, which is exactly the total investment in "Knowledge".

When the project "Do You Know" was first initiated, Fang Xing planned to invest 200 million.

However, it was also considered at the beginning that the budget for such a large feature film might be spent in advance in the later stages. Therefore, Fang Xing said from the beginning that an additional investment of 50 million could be made in the later stage.

Later, "Knowledge" invested an additional 20 million yuan, but did not increase it to 50 million yuan.

Therefore, the total investment in "Knowledge" is 220 million.

When Wei Shurong opened his mouth, he asked for a price of 3 million per episode, which was actually calculated based on the total investment.

This calculation method is reasonable.

The first broadcast price of satellite TV is actually very high based on the total investment of the TV series.

After all, in addition to the first broadcast rights, a drama can also be sold for second, third or fourth rounds.

Coupled with the income from the video platform, if the initial broadcast price has already recovered the investment, the income from other channels will all be profits.

In this way, the show can earn back twice the investment.

Such a high return on investment is already very impressive.

only.

This is just the asking price. The final price for the premiere rights to "Knowledge" will depend on whether other satellite TV stations want it.

Fang Xing said calmly: "I don't know the specific price either."

Wei Shurong had dealt with Fang Xing so many times, and he knew Fang Xing's style of doing things very well.

The same is true for previous dramas. Fang Xing would have a very high reserve price from the beginning. If the price offered by the TV station did not meet Fang Xing's psychological price, he would rather not sell it.

That was the case with "Dark Glory" back then.

Due to the sensitive subject matter of this drama, major TV stations are not confident in it, so they are unwilling to offer high prices.

As a result, Fang Xing directly sold the first broadcast rights to satellite TV, launched it directly on the video platform, and then distributed it overseas. As a result, it was killed on the overseas streaming media platform.

Therefore, when Wei Shurong heard Fang Xing's words, he already guessed that the price of 3 million per episode should not meet Fang Xing's psychological expectations.

"It seems that Brother Fang is going to produce a sky-high-priced drama again this time." Wei Shurong said with emotion.

In fact, Wei Shurong privately inquired about the lowest price and only offered 3 million for one episode because this drama was not directed by Fang Xing himself.

If Fang Xing becomes the director or even the lead actor, the price of this drama will increase by another 30%.

However, looking at Fang Xing's expression, Wei Shurong knew that the price of this drama would definitely not be low.

Wei Shurong thought for a while and said, "Brother Fang, there are too many episodes in this series. If the price of a single episode increases, the total price will be too high."

Two years ago, the highest single episode price for a drama produced by Fang Xing was already 5 million per episode.

If "Knowledge" is really sold to 5 million per episode, then the total price of the show will exceed 360 million.

The price is a bit scary.

If the price is this, if the ratings of this drama are not good, then the TV station leaders who made the decision to buy this drama will definitely have to suffer.

In fact, if this drama was produced by Fang Xing and it cost 5 million per episode, some TV stations would dare to buy it with their eyes closed.

Unfortunately, Fang Xing only had the name of producer.

The title of Producer has great power in the crew, but it is not certain how many scenes will be involved in the shooting. It can be more or less. It may even be just a name. Maybe you don’t even know who the starring role of the show is.

Therefore, the position of supervisor in mainland China is very vacant.

Fang Xing was not in a hurry: "If the TV station thinks this drama is good, I suggest our station premiere it. The ratings will definitely be guaranteed. Of course, if the station leaders think the price is too high, it can be broadcast on multiple satellite TV stations.

"The crew has been working hard on filming for so long, and everyone is waiting for the performance bonus at the end of the year. I would definitely be happy to earn a little more."

In business, you cannot sell at a lower price just because you have a good relationship.

Of course, Fang Xing and Wei Shurong had known each other for many years, so they could reveal some additional information to him.

Wei Shurong's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Fang Xing's words.

He knew Fang Xing very well and would not talk nonsense about things he was not sure about.

Besides, Fang Xing had just won the summer box office championship on the big screen. If he wanted to make money, there were plenty of ways, so there was no need to trick him into buying this show.

Wei Shurong thought about it and asked: "Brother Fang didn't take charge personally, so I don't know. It's not that I don't have confidence in Director Zhang, but he has never filmed a star drama before."

Fang Xing smiled and replied: "Let me tell you this. I participated in the whole process of this drama, and I also watched the finished film, and it achieved my expected effect. There is no point in bragging about how popular it can be, but I can Guaranteed, the ratings will not be bad.”

After Wei Shurong listened, he knew what was going on.

However, big projects involving 200 to 300 million yuan cannot be decided by him alone.

"Okay, after I go back, I will have a meeting with the leaders in Taili to study it." Wei Shurong has already made up his mind to quickly watch the finished film of "Know or Not" today, and then immediately have a meeting to discuss the film purchase plan when I get back.

If we can win this drama before other TV stations react, it will be considered a success.

…

After Fang Xing left, Wei Shurong immediately divided the viewing group into five groups and watched the show quickly.

You don’t need to be careful when watching the movie. As long as you make sure that the quality of the entire drama will not drop off a cliff, and then make a judgment based on the quality of the first few episodes, you can roughly see the potential of the drama.

Therefore, Wei Shurong was very fast. He planned to let the film viewing group watch "Know or Not" in one day, and then give a preliminary conclusion, and go back to a meeting the next day to discuss the film purchase plan.

at the same time.

The film selection director of Xiangjiang Satellite TV watched six episodes in the morning and had lunch in the screening room.

After seeing the heroine grow up, he already saw the huge potential of this drama, and hurriedly called the deputy director Jiang Minghe that night.

"Director, this drama from Ark Culture may become popular. The quality is very high. Not only the protagonist is outstanding, but the supporting actors are also outstanding. This drama is not only popular for the protagonist, but also for the supporting actors. We need to prepare quickly. I heard that Donghai Satellite TV I watched all 73 episodes in one day."

Jiang Minghe, who was far away in Xiangjiang, suddenly became nervous when he heard the film selection director's words.

Dramas that even have supporting characters become popular are, without exception, blockbuster dramas.

And it has to be half the sky red.

Jiang Minghe and Wei Shurong were already old rivals. He knew his opponent's style of doing things very well, so he immediately felt threatened and said quickly:

"You hold Fang Xing down for me. I will fly over tomorrow. Before I arrive, Wei Shurong must not be allowed to see Fang Xing."
