Full-time actor

Chapter 417 [100] New technology for playing "Fairy Sword"!
"I, Zhao Ling'er, hope that the people of Quannan Zhao Kingdom will always be happy!"

"When did Brother Xiaoyao deceive Ling'er?"

"Go to sleep!"

"..."

It took Chen Yu two days to finish watching the 2 edited episodes of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", with tears in his eyes and a slight redness in his eyes.

Even though he has been a man for two generations, knowing the general direction and ending of this TV series, he is still a little confused; he thought of every bit of filming with Liu Yifei, and the vivid Zhao Ling'er in the script...

Reality and Illusion At this moment, in the minds of the actors, it is somewhat difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction.

It wasn't until a while that the whole person suddenly calmed down.

"It's much better than the previous life!"

"The fighting is more beautiful, the plot is very smooth, and the pace is not fast and slow!"

In the past few days, she has had a few more gray hairs in preparation for the broadcast of "Sword and Fairy".

Cai Yinong looked at Chen Yu, whose eyes were slightly red, and couldn't help but ask.

"You should talk to the person in charge of my company about this. I am not responsible for this business!"

"According to the current 4+X policy, there shouldn't be many terrestrial channels that will buy our drama!"

As Cai Yinong spoke, he asked Chen Yu for a piece of paper.

"Performance has improved a lot!"

Of course Chen Yu knew that Cai Yinong must have thought about some operations for the broadcast of "Sword and Fairy". After all, she has been immersed in this market for many years, and there are always some ways to do it.

"But can all seven districts be sold? With the popularity of you and Yifei, you can give it a try, but I'm not sure that some districts will unite to buy it!"

Seeing Chen Yu's calm and calm look, Cai Yinong was really convinced: "Brother Yu, do you have any idea?"

Seeing that Chen Yu really wanted to know, Cai Yinong also restrained his smile: "The radio and television people talked hard and agreed that the terrestrial channel can broadcast it!"

Cai Yinong pulled up the chair, moved closer to Chen Yu, and said jokingly.

"No more than 10!"

Therefore, there can only be a few dozen at most.

"How about sharing more terrestrial channels with TV stations?"

Then municipal channels, provincial channels, satellite TV, and CCTV!
Theoretically, in accordance with the 4+X policy of radio and television, it is possible to have more than 3000 TV stations across the country broadcast "Sword" together.

"What can I do?"

Because it is impossible for one county to broadcast at the same time; adjacent counties may receive each other, but they will not share it.

"Tell me what solution you just thought of, I'm very curious!"

"Are you serious?"

"Let's calculate it. The most perfect solution is that all seven districts in the country will buy it!"

"Of course that's better, hahaha!"

"Tell me about it!"

"Oh, that's right. This investment may be nothing to you!"

"How about giving some money to my sister's next drama?"

"Moreover, there are also alliances between radio stations. Generally speaking, there are seven regions, and a maximum of seven stations can be sold, such as East China, North China, and Northwest China!"

"There is definitely no chance of reaching the stars!"

Chen Yu shrugged: "How about I directly invest in your company?"

"Well, I just finished watching it. The editing is very good and it's going to be popular!"

There are currently more than 3000 prefecture-level channels across the country. Each county has several, such as children's channels, lifestyle channels, karaoke stations, etc., and there are more than 300 in counties across the country.

Chen Yu smiled, but Cai Yinong spread his hands: "You can't get to the stars, how can you be popular? Brother Yu, please teach me. I have tried every method these days, but after all, we It’s all a loss!”

Chen Yu shook his head, and Cai Yinong smiled bitterly: "Then why are you not in a hurry?"

Chen Yu showed an attentive expression, crossed his hands on the table, and leaned back comfortably on the chair.

But, it's just a theory.

"Brother Yu, have you finished reading?"

"Then there are Baodao, Xiangjiang, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. However, their purchase prices are relatively conservative!"

Chen Yuchang took a long breath, went to the bathroom and washed his face. After regaining his mood, he invited Cai Yinong to the office.

Swish swish!
She wrote quickly there.

"If it starts in a single district and doesn't star or be on CCTV, it can be sold at a high price. Based on the popularity of Brother Yu and Yifei, I can definitely be confident in this!"

Cai Yinong smiled, and Chen Yu raised his eyebrows: "It's not impossible!"

Cai Yinong is still worried about not being able to get funds. If Chen Yu Company invests some money, it will definitely be a good thing for the development of Tangren.

Cai Yinong said there: "The radio station is not stupid. They definitely want to ensure the ratings, so they have to get the right to start!"

"10 per episode!"

This price is already the highest price currently offered by terrestrial channels.

40 episodes, that is, it can sell for 400 million!
"However, if you want to sell it to 7 districts, you will definitely not be able to sell it for 10, but it will be 5 at most. Let's calculate it based on the average!"

1400 million!
Cai Yinong wrote there: "This is the most ideal price, it will definitely not be reached. I think the seven regions combined can sell for 7 million, which is already very good!"

This is still because of Chen Yu and Liu Yifei.

Zhang Jizhong's "Tianlong" premiered on a local channel last year and only sold 9 yuan per episode.

"Then Baodao and Xiangjiang, the total is about 1000 million!"

"The total price in Southeast Asia is 1000 million at most. Japan and South Korea may sell it higher!"

wow——

3000 million!
This is the price without tax.

Taxes are deducted from trading gains.

Cai Yinong clicked on the 3000 million figure he just wrote: "Our total investment is 3000 million. According to this best plan, we will lose nearly 1500 million!"

"I'm losing about 400 million here, and you're making some money from audio and video revenue. Isn't 200 million enough to support you?"

This is still based on the popularity of "Sword and Fairy".

"Well, I lost 900 million!"

Chen Yu can calculate it.

"I have done some calculations in the past few days. This is the most ideal situation. In fact, many terrestrial channels will reduce the number of episodes, from 40 to 35!"

“The price may not be as high as we said!”

Cai Yinong knows that these places have channels for urine.

"really!"

Chen Yu understood what Cai Yinong meant. The 38 episodes of "Sword of Immortality" in the previous life were compressed to 34 episodes. Regardless of the high price quoted by the TV station, this compression means that an episode of 10 yuan is still 40 yuan less.

"I lost 400 million, which is the least!"

Cai Yinong sighed. No company wants to lose money when investing in film and television dramas. If it loses tens of millions, Cai Yinong can accept it. After all, the TV series will also have a lot of copyright income or second-round broadcasts. .

Even three rounds.

But for 400 million, the second round can be sold for at most 100 million, and the third round is even less, so it is almost negligible.

"Four less satellite TV stations, and 4 million less inside and outside!"

Now it can be sold for up to 20-30 yuan per episode. Even if it is 10 yuan per episode, four satellite TV stations can still pay 4 million!
"So, Brother Yu, what should we do?"

The only thing Cai Yinong is happy about now is that the male and female protagonists have been chosen as Chen Yu and Liu Yifei; local channels must be rushing to get them.

Japan and South Korea can also sell at good prices.

If there were new actors in the lead roles, if the domestic and Southeast Asian movies were put together, it would be a huge hit to sell 1000 million yuan.

"Let me think of a solution!"

"First contact the city radio alliances in the seven districts and ask them what they think, whether it is exclusive, or a joint purchase between two or three districts!"

"Anyway, it would be best if it can be sold in seven districts!"

"There are also normal arrangements on Xiangjiang Treasure Island!"

Chen Yu tapped his fingers on the table and looked up at Cai Yinong.

"Okay, then I'll wait for news from you, Brother Yu?"

Cai Yinong looked helpless. He thought Chen Yu had some good ideas. After thinking about it, she couldn't do it herself. Could Chen Yu know the TV drama industry better than her?

Chen Yu is very popular, but he is really not good at running TV series.

Cai Yinong did have some illnesses and rushed to seek medical treatment before. Now she calms down and thinks about it, isn't it just the ones she said?
Chen Yu can still change the world.

Sighing secretly, Cai Yinong chatted with Chen Yu for a while and left directly.

"Brother Yang, call Brother Jie and the others in!"

Chen Yu said to Yang Lu that the Jie brother he was talking about was Cheng Jie, the technical director of the Erdong.com company next door. He was the one who developed the original Erdong.com.

At present, in addition to him, there are several web development, maintenance, and operation teams!

The person in charge of Star Network is Lao Yao, who is also a technician.

Soon, Cheng Jie and Lao Yao, who were engaged in technology, all came to Chen Yu's office.

Cheng Jie and Lao Yao obviously know the big bosses behind the two companies; in fact, there are many rumors from the outside world, but the media has not exposed them yet, and many people in the industry know about them.

"Brother Jie, Brother Yao, let me ask you some professional questions!"

Chen Yu spoke politely to the two of them, and Cheng Jie raised his glasses: "Director Chen, tell me!"

"Just call me by my name, forget it, let's use the fancy name in the company from now on!"

"You all come up with a martial arts name. I'll be Yang Guo. You can just call me Yang Guo!"

Chen Yu is also a copycat of Ali. Cheng Jie and Lao Yao are a little uncomfortable with it, but Chen Yu is the boss. If he says this, his subordinates should just do it.

It's really awkward to call me Director Chen.

"That's right. Our video website is 'Tomato.com'. A long video of about 100 megabytes, how long does it take to buffer at the earliest?"

The name tomato was coined by Chen Yu, which corresponds to potato.

Easier to remember.

"100 trillion?"

Cheng Jie thought for a while: "If the current common speed is 200kb per second, the downloading time may be longer, about 5-6 minutes; but in terms of buffering, it is actually not bad, 20 seconds at most!"

"almost!"

Old Yao next to him also nodded.

"20 seconds..."

It’s a bit long!

"Can it be shortened to less than 10 seconds?"

"I'm not sure. It depends on the network speed. If the user's network speed is too slow, it may buffer for 1 minute!"

Chen Yu has also been exposed to online dramas, and of course he knows the relationship between buffering and Internet speed.

At the beginning of this year, the speed of domestic broadband has just been increased, from dial-up Internet access to ADSL, and the network speed has increased countless times; from dozens of kilobytes per second to 200-300k per second; this is why video websites are all in 05 The reason for birth.

"Okay, then our Tomato.com can upload videos of more than 100 megabits?"

"This is definitely possible, but I don't know if users can see it or not, because the buffering may be longer; it depends on their Internet speed!"

"boss!"

Lao Yao looked at Chen Yu and suddenly stretched out his hand: "Can I make a suggestion?"

"Say!"

"Do you want to move the TV series online?"

They also knew about Chen Yu's occupation and the nature of his company, and of course they knew about his connections in TV series and movies.

"Yeah, do you have a good idea?"

"Have!"

Lao Yao smiled and looked at the puzzled Cheng Jie: "Brother Jie is responsible for web development. Maybe I don't know. When I was developing a video website, a senior of mine mentioned a technology in the group. I thought it was pretty cool. of!"

“Peer-to-peer technology!”

“To put it simply, it means watching TV online, but it’s TV from various TV stations across the country!”

"Ok?"

Chen Yu squinted his eyes and understood instantly.

Lao Yao thought that Chen Yu was still unclear, so he quickly added: "Don't TVs receive various TV stations through satellites? We receive through the Internet, which will be faster and have wider coverage, but the signal is unstable and the buffer is short! "

"I know!"

Chen Yu smiled a little: "P2P technology, peer-to-peer, right?"

"Eh?"

Lao Yao obviously didn't expect that Chen Yu would actually say it out loud: "Boss, how...how do you know this?"

Cheng Jie on the side was also very surprised.

"Do it now. How soon can it be developed? I want both the web page and the software!"

Of course Chen Yu knows P2P technology, because this is the technology that made the two major video websites prosperous in the previous life.

PPS, the predecessor of iQiyi, and PP-live all started from this.

At first it sounds low-tech, because many people in later generations have become accustomed to this technology; but in 04-05, it was definitely very front-end.

I go online on my computer and watch TV stations from all over the country, and I ask if you are awesome?
