One person's entertainment

Chapter 132: Even a small profit is a loss

"Alas, the world is like a game of chess, and it is unpredictable. I hope I can escape from danger."

Shen Lingyou was also helpless about what happened to Zhang Yusheng in this time and space. He could only sigh and send his blessings.

I looked at the system panel yesterday, and there was no Baodao Province among the three opportunities, which means this matter was not among them.

But even if this happened, he went to the place where the incident occurred, and there was only so much he could do.

"Yes, life is unpredictable. I read in the news that he was deeply touched by his sister's sudden death, so he decided to pursue a career in music and continue his sister's unfinished dream. Now this kind of thing has happened..." Liu Huohua also shook his head and sighed.

"I heard about this news." At this time, Jiang Qinqin came back from the bathroom and sat next to Shen Lingyou. She glanced at the newspaper in his hand and said, "I like his songs very much. "The Sea", "My Future Is Not a Dream", "I Look Forward to It" are all very nice. I even bought his pirated tapes."

"A very talented singer, one of the few top-notch soprano singers in the Chinese music scene," commented Shen Lingyou.

"Compared to his and your high notes, whose is better?" Jiang Qinqin asked curiously.

"His true voice is very high among boys, it can reach A5, which is 6 notes higher than the average boy. As for me..." Shen Lingyou thought about it. His current vocal range is indeed not comparable, but the improvement of [Singing Skills] will broaden his vocal range. It is only a matter of time to catch up and surpass him. So he said: "Not much different from him."

"Your song 'I Believe' is very high-pitched, and not everyone can sing it," said Liu Huohua.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Hu Dajing also joined in.

Jiang Qinqin is now very familiar with Liu Huohua and Hu Dajing. However, because the two of them favor Zeng Xiaolai, they are never as nice to her as they are to Zeng Xiaolai.

Shen Lingyou saw it all, but there was nothing he could do.

The entertainment industry has undergone tremendous changes, with some stars dimming and some shining.

On October 10, it has been a month since the release of Shen Lingyou’s Japanese album "New Journey".

The sales volume at this time reached 51 copies, which is far behind that of popular Japanese singers, but among Chinese singers, in terms of sales of a single album, it has already successfully entered the top three.

The yen was earned and the popularity was increased. Shenlingyou was still taking a solid first step in its development.

Next, it’s just a matter of seeing how to take the next step.

However, there is no specific plan at the moment.

Movies and TV series?
"Midnight Diner", "Unnatural Death" and "The Solitary Gourmet" are good choices.

cartoon?

"Bleach", "Naruto" and "One Piece", the three most popular anime, are very popular.

music?

For songs from movies, TV series and animations, this entry point will be smoother.

But no matter which aspect you start from, you need one thing - resources.

That is to say, the inventory has been replenished.

But don’t worry, there are still many things to do right now.

After two months of overtime post-production, the first sample of "Never Forget" has been released.

After Shen Lingyou and Huo Wenxi looked at it, they confirmed that there was no problem.

At the same time as it was submitted for review, it was also sent to several powerful TV stations. At present, there is a complete set of procedures for the purchase and sale of domestic TV series. The general process is that after the filming of a TV series is completed, the copyright holder of the TV series, that is, the film and television production company, and the distributor will contact various broadcasting platforms, that is, TV stations, and ask them to watch the film.

There is an evaluation team within the TV station. Several people in this team will make an evaluation based on the plot, main creators, price and other aspects, give a score, and then decide whether to purchase.

The strength of a drama lies in whether it can be broadcast on TV.

"Star" means that the TV station's programs are sent to satellites through technical means, and then received on the ground through satellite receiving devices, and then transmitted to thousands of households through cable TV networks, or families use satellite receiving dishes to directly receive signals for viewing.

"On" means that the TV series can be broadcast on satellite TV channels, usually provincial satellite TV stations.

"Sister Xi is back." Jiang Qinqin, who was cleaning the yard, shouted.

"Looking at your expression, it seems that things are not going well." Shen Lingyou came out of the room and saw Huo Wenxi. He didn't look as energetic as when he went out in the morning.

"It can't be said that it was not going well." Huo Wenxi sat down and looked at him and said, "After evaluation, CCTV offered a price of 33 per episode, which is 50 less than the expected 17 per episode. In total, the difference is 459 million."

Shen Lingyou frowned and said, "It's a bit less."

The cost was 600 million, and the production fee for one episode was about 22.2. CCTV paid 33 per episode, which paid back the investment and made a small profit.

But for a drama like this, breaking even or making a small profit is a loss.

Therefore, the expected price is 50 per episode.

Huo Wenxi sighed and said, "It can be seen that they are deliberately lowering the price, but there is nothing we can do."

Shen Lingyou folded his hands across his chest, a hint of reluctance and helplessness flashing in his eyes.

With the participation of the Golden Shield Film and Television Culture Center, he knew without a doubt that CCTV would buy it, but he didn't expect the price to be so low.

It seems that there is really no way.

At this time, Huo Wenxi said: "I talked to their leader for a long time and said all the good things, and he also said that our play is good, but he just didn't want to increase the money."

Shen Lingyou shook his head and smiled, saying: "The trick they use is Tai Chi."

Jiang Qinqin, who had been listening to the two for a while, couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Does it have to be sold to CCTV? It's not like they're the only TV station."

CCTV was the only dominant broadcaster during this period, and the ratings were basically concentrated on it. This was the best bargaining chip because ratings equaled exposure.

When a drama is made, in addition to making a profit, it must also rely on it to gain popularity. No matter whether it is the director or the actors, they all aim to become famous. Only when they are famous will there be dramas knocking on their doors, and only when they are famous will they have advertisements, endorsements, and commercial performances. Only when they are famous can they make more money.

Then, broadcasting on CCTV is the best choice.

However, Jiang Qinqin's words awakened Shen Lingyou.

The best choice is not the only choice.

At this moment, provincial satellite TV stations such as Mango TV, Blueberry TV, and Litchi TV are actively seeking development. Buying dramas, and buying good dramas, is an excellent way to stand out in the competition.

Since we can’t sell it to one company at a high price, we’ll just sell it to multiple companies at a reasonable price.

Although we cannot see the prosperous scene of major satellite TV stations spending hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan to buy a drama, it should not be a problem to maintain the price of 50 yuan per episode.

Thinking of this, Shen Lingyou felt more confident and said, "Sister Xi, don't worry, wait and see what other TV stations offer. If they all offer relatively low prices, then sell it to a few more and let them do a joint broadcast."

I have been accompanying him in the hospital these days, staying up all night and sleeping only three or four hours a day. In addition, he has had another attack and his condition is not very good. It will take a few more days for my father to be discharged from the hospital. Please be patient.
