Chapter 83 Yan Li said nothing, just counting money silently (Please order first)

"Overwhelming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and becoming a huge hit in Nanjing, what exactly is this "Conquer"? "

The premiere ratings approached 10%, and "Conquer" was unstoppable in the Jinling area.

A Brief Analysis of the Gap between The Legend of the Condor Heroes and Conquer: A Chinese Film from the Perspective of Performance, Reputation, Actor Performance, and Return Rate

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes," with its 3000 million RMB investment and numerous big-name productions, lost to the lesser-known "Conquer," and producer Zhang Jizhong fell from grace."

"..."

boom!
Zhang Da Huzi couldn't help but drop his mouse and looked at his assistant: "Who is the producer of this "Conquer"? They are so greedy."

It was just a small loss in the Jinling area, but with all these small reports, people would think that "Conquer" was fighting across the country just like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Although "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has a bad reputation, its ratings are actually very good.

The drama ranked first in ratings in many regions and cities, including Zhejiang Province, Jiangxi Province, Guizhou Province, and Chongqing City.

Television stations made a fortune from advertising. It was said that a TV station in Yunnan Province spent 800 to yuan to buy "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but the advertising fees were nearly million yuan.

Therefore, although the reputation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is polarized, TV stations in the industry are rushing to buy it, and Zhang Da Huzi is also proud of it.

Then a crew came out to try to scam him, and took every opportunity to start pulling and mocking him. How could he not be angry?
"Should I sue him?"

The assistant thought of an idea, but Zhang Da Huzi glared at him like he was an idiot.

"How do you prove that this crew was behind these reports?"

"More importantly, this guy is clearly trying to scam me. If you sue him, you'll just be giving him headlines for nothing. Humph, he's probably just waiting for me to sue him."

Zhang Da Huzi is a real master of hype and is well aware of these tricks.

In this situation, it is best not to pay attention to the other party. The more you pay attention to him, the more excited he will become, and you will take advantage of him for nothing. If you keep ignoring him, he will become quiet after a while.

That being said, this kind of thing is like a toad falling on its foot. It may not hurt, but it makes you feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Da Huzi took a look at the news on the computer screen, slammed the mouse, cursed a few words, and then gave instructions to his assistant.

"Find out who's in charge of Conquer. I'll settle accounts with him sooner or later."

----

On the other hand, Yan Li felt happy and regretful as he watched the number of clicks and attention on "Conquer" soar.

After all, he is an old hand and can bear it without taking the challenge.

Otherwise, if he had a quarrel with Zhang Da Huzi, "Conquer" would have been on the headlines, and maybe the satellite TV station would have asked for the price the next day.

However, the trend of "Conquest" is also very good now.

The Jinling region topped the list, and after the first broadcast in Xi'an, it remained in the top three for several consecutive days. The second round of rebroadcasts also began in Tianjin, with excellent ratings.

According to the news from the company, several local TV stations have sent inquiries.

One of the sub-channels of Beijing TV, which Yan Li had dealt with before, contacted Yan Li directly.

After Yan Li learned through the intelligence system, he found out that the other party had a strong willingness to buy and the psychological price was also ideal.

In addition, two DVD audio and video companies also want to obtain the relevant copyrights of "Conquest".

Yan Li originally planned to manage the DVD rights himself, as he had learned from monthly intelligence that the drama "Conquest" would sell well in the DVD market. However, after conducting more research, Yan Li decisively abandoned the idea.

The DVD market and TV distribution are two completely different industries. If you want to do this business, you must have your own distribution and publicity channels, and you must also fight wits and courage with pirates.

Instead of wasting time on this, Yan Li might as well visit a few more TV stations.

So he planned to just sell it directly, or sign a profit-sharing contract with the other party, outsource the business, and then divide the money according to sales volume.

In March, Yan Li returned to Beijing from Xi'an and began to negotiate with various TV stations and relevant partners.

After broadcasting "Conquer", Jinling TV rebroadcast the show in the same period and at the same time. The ratings did not decrease but increased, with the average ratings exceeding 15%.

In the words of the film purchasing director of Jinling TV, the last time this happened was with "My Fair Princess".

For a time, the entire Jinling area seemed to know a ruthless man named Liu Huaqiang.

Sun Honglei, who was filming in Beijing, was confused when he saw the local reporters from Jinling who came to block him on the set. He only realized what was going on after he learned about it.

"Conquer" is a hit!
He seems to be popular too?!
Gao Qunshu understood this point more deeply than Sun Honglei. As early as the early promotion, Yan Li asked him to cooperate a lot and shaped him into a pioneering director of police and gangster dramas.

Later, when "Conquer" became a hit in Tianjin, reporters approached him for interviews.

When Yan Li was trying to scam Zhang Da Huzi, a TV station also came to him, wanting him to criticize "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

But Lao Gao is not stupid. Interviews are interviews, but he will never offend anyone.

Asking means you don't understand, don't know, and don't care. I guess it's just a netizen or reporter speaking out of their feelings, and it has nothing to do with him.

"Conquer" became a hit, and the absolute protagonist Sun Honglei and director Gao Qunshu benefited the most.

Other supporting characters such as Jiang Shan, Liu Weiwei, Li Yixiang and others also benefited to varying degrees.

In comparison, Yan Li, who had fewer roles and was a new face, did not leave much of a deep impression on the audience.

Anyway, Yan Li did some research and found that no media outlets mentioned him when discussing roles and actors. The few online discussions about "Conquer" basically revolved around Liu Huaqiang and the plot. When he went out, he didn't find anyone who knew him.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that "Conquest" has not yet been broadcast on satellite TV, and its influence is limited to a few areas where it is broadcast, and it has not yet fully fermented.

As a new actor, Yan Li could only comfort himself in this way, then wiped away his tears and counted the money silently.

"Conquer" was a hit in Jinling, Tianjin, Xi'an and other places, and achieved remarkable results. Naturally, the price was not the same as before it was broadcast.

The original price for ordinary city-level TV stations was several thousand per episode, but now they won’t pay less than 1.

Most TV stations in big cities like Jinling and Xi'an purchase dramas at a price of less than 5 yuan per episode. Previously, except for the special case of Shenzhen, the prices in Jinling and Xi'an were 2 yuan per episode.

But now, the asking price is basically more than 3 per episode, and the price can often be raised a lot.

At present, the highest bid comes from the sub-channel of Beijing TV, with a price of 6.2 per episode, becoming the first million-dollar contract of "Conquest".

Less than a week after Yan Li returned to Beijing, he had already negotiated a contract worth over 200 million.

The contract negotiated before the Spring Festival was about 250 million, plus the 50 deposit given to Gao Qunshu at the beginning, the 500 million contract agreed upon by Yan Li and Lao Gao was basically finalized.

The remaining money earned is Yan Li’s profit...
