Chapter 339 Cai Yinong’s Guarantee
On the premiere day of "Meteor Garden", those who are still unsatisfied after watching the first two episodes should not have too many viewers.

Many of them picked up the phone and dialed the number of Beijing TV Station.

But there were too many people calling, and it took a long time for many people to get through.

"Hello, I have a friend who likes your show "Meteor Garden" very much. He asked me to call and ask if you can show a few more episodes a day."

"Hey, I'm a fan of Qi Wei. I was delayed because of something and didn't see his new drama. Could you please replay it during the day?"

"Meteor Garden is really interesting. I never thought I would like a show so much. I'm not calling to give my opinion, I just want to share this show. By the way, operator, have you seen this There is no drama”

"Operator, I really want to know the follow-up plot. Can you tell me a little bit about it? What, you don't know. This drama is adapted from a Japanese comic. I suggest I read the comic, but where can I find the comic?"

"F4 are so handsome. They will hold fan meetings."

The questions that came in were all kinds of different, but almost all of them were about "Meteor Garden."

The operator of the Beijing TV station answered so many calls that his throat was dry by the end of the conversation.

There was no call until late at night, almost twelve o'clock.

In the end, everyone worked overtime to screen and summarize the problems and then reported them.

Time soon came to the next day, and the director of Beijing TV Station specially held a morning meeting for "Meteor Garden".

"Director, the drama "Meteor Garden" is worth buying for us. It has the potential to become a hit." Zheng Xiaolong said happily.

There is a feeling of elation when speaking.

When Qi Wei was selling dramas, he found many TV stations through Zhao Baogang's relationship.

"Meteor Garden" is well-produced and stars a popular star like Qi Wei, so it naturally aroused the interest of many TV stations.

But since the production of "Meteor Garden" cost a lot of money, since everyone is optimistic about this drama, Qi Wei does not plan to sell it at a low price.

I want to recover most of the cost by selling the first broadcast rights.

It has to be sold for at least 1000 million.

Although "Never Close Eyes" broke the tradition of TV stations not offering high prices in the past, local TV stations at this time were still very stingy, and it was not easy for them to willingly pay such a high price.

Many TV stations have proposed to purchase the first broadcast rights of "Meteor Garden" through group purchase prices.

But in the end, it was Zheng Xiaolong from Beijing TV Station who overcame all objections and bought the mainland premiere and rebroadcast rights of "Meteor Garden" for 1200 million.

At this time, he was the director of the Beijing TV Drama Production Center and had this right.

But having the right does not mean that he can do whatever he wants. If "Meteor Garden" does not perform well after it is broadcast, the losses will be huge and he will also have to bear the responsibility.

This price is still very risky.

Even in Taiwan, there were rumors that he paid such a high price because of kickbacks.

But with the broadcast of "Meteor Garden", even if the ratings statistics have not yet come out, judging from the current response, it can almost be proved that he won.

The director of the advertising department sitting next to Zheng Xiaolong grinned and said: "The ratings will not come out until tomorrow, but judging from the feedback from the audience, the ratings of the drama "Meteor Garden" cannot be bad. Advertisers There’s going to be a swarm of people coming.”

When this was said, everyone laughed.

The station director suppressed his laughter and continued: "You can contact those advertisers now, but you have to wait until the ratings come out to make a decision. Urge them and ask them to calculate the ratings as soon as possible. I want them tonight See the results.”

With just one word from the leader, the kids below can only get busy.

After chatting some more about "Meteor Garden", the director said to Zheng Xiaolong: "You did a good job this time. I am very satisfied. I will have more contact with Qi Wei in the future. "Meteor Garden" performed so well. I guess he is very There will be new action soon, and we will shoot more similar TV series. We have cooperated with him many times. As the saying goes, first comes first, first gets the moon, and we must strive to get the broadcast rights of these dramas."

"But director, if this drama becomes popular, subsequent dramas will also become more popular."

"It's okay, as long as it brings more revenue, it doesn't matter if you spend more money."

"I know, I will do my best."

With the director's promise at the meeting, we can bid more generously.

After talking to Zheng Xiaolong, the station manager asked the person in charge of the variety show team: "What is "The Voice of China" all about? Why haven't we talked about it yet?"

The person in charge of the variety show team said with some embarrassment: "Director, they have put forward some requirements for the "Voice of China" project."

"what do you need?"

The person in charge of the variety show team began to talk slowly, with a few requirements, one of which means:

"His company owns the copyright and production rights of the program, and the TV station cannot interfere with the production of the program."

"There are problems with these, I think they are all reasonable."

For a leader like the station director, this request is no problem, but it is different for the people below.

You can't interfere with the production of the program. How can you block people? This is a backdoor that stops TV stations from using the backdoor to make money!
The station manager then asked: "Are we the only partners in this project of "The Voice of China"?"

"No, his company has contacted many TV stations, among which Mango TV is the most interested."

"So we have competitors. Since we have competitors, why don't you show the greatest sincerity."

"But."

"There's nothing wrong with it. I agree to all the requests he made."

Finally, the station director ordered: "I hope to see a satisfactory result before the broadcast of "Meteor Garden" is completed."

A twenty-episode TV series airs two episodes a day for ten days.

It was a bit tricky, but finally the person in charge of the variety show team agreed.

That afternoon, the ratings for the first day of "Meteor Garden" were also released.

National ratings were 24.8%
When seeing this ratings, Jingcheng TV Series couldn't believe their eyes.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly, then frowned and asked, "Are you sure the statistics are not wrong? This rating is too scary. Aren't you jointly deceiving me with such a high rating?"

At this time, most of the TV series with high ratings nationwide were from CCTV, because in many remote areas, apart from local stations, you could only search for CCTV.
CCTV has a wide coverage, which is an advantage that local stations do not have.

Last year, "Never Close Eyes" achieved a ratings of over 40%, which was the ratings of the eight joint broadcasts combined. Statistics from a single TV station did not exceed 10% at most.

High ratings can attract more advertisers, which means more revenue. In recent years, the competition among TV stations for ratings has become more and more fierce. Coupled with the more diversified entertainment projects, the ratings of popular TV series have increased every year. The rate is gradually declining.

In the past few years, a TV series could achieve a ratings of 70% or even over 90%, but this situation is no longer possible.

Nowadays, there are very few TV dramas that can achieve a ratings of more than 10%, even the popular dramas broadcast by CCTV.

As for the local station Beijing TV Station, it is definitely worse.

In fact, before "Meteor Garden", the ratings of TV series broadcast during this period were all below 10%, and few exceeded 5%.

And "Meteor Garden" actually achieved a ratings of close to 25%.

This is probably the limit of local TV ratings.

No, it's beyond the limit.The person in charge of the ratings statistics replied with a smile: "Director, to be honest, I thought they were lying to me when I first found out. I confirmed it several times and even called the CCTV ratings statistics department to confirm. That’s right, this is the result.”

"That means it's true." The station manager suddenly became overjoyed and laughed loudly: "I knew that the ratings of this guy's drama would not be low, but I didn't expect that he would give me such a big surprise. This is... At first, I was very curious about what the final ratings of this drama would be."

No matter how much it is promoted, some viewers will definitely not notice the TV series when it is broadcast, so as long as the show does not collapse, the ratings will gradually increase.

The current 24.8% ratings may be just the starting point for "Meteor Garden".

The good show is yet to come.

"Meteor Garden" is a joint project between Qi Wei Company and Cai Yinong's Tanghuang Film and Television Company.

So when "Meteor Garden" was broadcast, Cai Yinong also rushed to the capital from Shanghai.

In Qi Wei's office.

Qi Wei just hung up the phone. Cai Yinong, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up at Qi Wei and asked with a smile: "Are the ratings for the first day of "Meteor Garden" out?"

Qi Wei nodded and said: "24.8%"

"Wow!" Cai Yinong's eyes widened in surprise, and she slowly stood up from the ground without stopping the movement of her hands.

"I really didn't expect that our drama could achieve such high ratings." While saying this, Cai Yinong sat on Qi Wei with a complicated expression on her face.

"Why, you are doubting my vision."

"No, no, I never doubted it. It's just that your vision completely exceeded my expectations." Distracted, she began to stutter.

"So, you must be convinced."

Cai Yinong looked at Qi Wei with charming eyes and smiled softly: "You still have one last step to go before you want to convince me."

As soon as these words came out, the rhythmic movements began to change rhythm continuously.

Half an hour later, Cai Yinong finally came to her senses after reliving the good times.

"You are really a barbarian." Looking at the torn stockings scattered everywhere on the ground, Cai Yinong complained to himself.

But for a strong and enterprising woman like her, the tenderness of love is of no use.

She prefers men who are stronger than her and use brutality to conquer herself.

Without any sweet words, she calmly opened her bag, took out the same stockings and put them on herself.

While saying: "I have done what you asked me before. My company has bought the film and television adaptation rights of "Sword of Immortal"."

Qi Wei couldn't help but look at Cai Yinongke and praised: "You are still so efficient."

"If I were efficient, I wouldn't have known you for almost two years before filming a movie."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. Getting a good start is crucial. You will definitely be more efficient in the future."

Cai Yinong nodded and said, "I hope my company can start to independently produce film and television dramas."

"This is no problem, I support you."

After being trained in "Meteor Garden", the behind-the-scenes team recruited by Cai Yinong has been well-trained and can now act independently.

With the success of "Meteor Garden", it will be much easier for Cai Yinong to prepare for film and television dramas and attract investment.

"So, what do you think I should shoot next? Is it going to be "Sword of Immortal"?" Cai Yinong asked.

Qi Wei replied: "At present, the domestic Internet user base is not large, and even fewer have played this game. There is no emotional bonus. If you rashly adapt it into a TV series, the benefits will not be maximized, and it may not be so successful."

"If you want to succeed, it's very simple. As long as you are willing to act, you are now a guarantee of ratings."

Hearing this, Qi Wei couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.

Filming a TV series now will hardly add to Qi Wei's acting career. After filming Zhang Beard's "Swordsman", Qi Wei will shift the focus of his acting career to movies, and may not be able to film TV series.

Even if I film a TV series, I will mostly film what I like. Anyway, it is unlikely that I will be in "Sword and Fairy".

Cai Yinong also knew this. She just asked tentatively. Seeing that Qi Wei was unwilling, she didn't force it.

"It's not a good time to shoot "Sword and Sword" now, so what should I shoot?" Cai Yinong asked.

"You can still continue to make this kind of love idol drama."

"Idol drama, my company didn't create a suitable script." In fact, Cai Yinong doesn't like idol dramas very much.

"Love idol dramas are about handsome men and beautiful women, men love each other, and the plot is just so-so. You don't have a script, that's okay. I have a lot of scripts for idol dramas here. I will send you a script when the time comes. If you think it's not suitable, that's fine. Change."

Hearing this, Cai Yinong couldn't help but laugh and said with emotion, "I leaned against the big tree to enjoy the shade. Choosing to follow you was really the most correct decision in my life."

Qi Wei looked at Cai Yinong with a smile, smoothed her messy hair, and said, "Sister Cai, I am also very satisfied with you, whether it is your ability to work or your ability to serve me."

"As long as you are satisfied." The smile on Cai Yinong's face became even brighter.

Qi Wei knew Cai Yinong's inner thoughts very well. She then smiled and said: "Sister Cai, I remember that you have always wanted to make a costume drama. Now there is a market for costume dramas. If you want to do it, I will support you."

"Really?" Cai Yinong was immediately delighted.

"Of course it's true, you can get ready now."

"Then what do you think is better to film, a martial arts drama or something else?"

"It's all okay. By the way, I remembered. China Film Group is now preparing to cooperate with CCTV Movie Channel to shoot "The Female Generals of the Yang Family". They also need to find a film and television company as a partner. I will introduce you to it then."

Hearing this, Cai Yinong suddenly became interested.

But "The Female Generals of the Yang Family", as soon as you hear it, you know that there are many female characters in it.

Cai Yinong smiled and asked: "Which women are you planning to arrange for this drama?"

"You know me so well, you should know what I'm thinking."

"You are so flirtatious, so you must have new ideas. Do you have any new prey?"

"Huh? Why do I feel like you are a pimp now?"

"Hehe, this is just a way for me to keep my favor."

Cai Yinong asked again: "Aren't you interested in any woman?"

Asked like this, Qi Wei thought of the women in the later drama "The Female Generals of the Yang Family".

Hey, it seems like there really is one!
Then Qi Wei said a few names in Cai Yinong's ear.

Cai Yinong couldn't help but open her eyes wide.

"Why, do you find it difficult? It's okay. I'm just a little interested. It's not necessary yet."

"Don't worry, I will fulfill your wish." Cai Yinong finally promised.
