Superstars start from the Academy of Film and Television

Chapter 339 premiere rights.

This period of time was simply tormenting for Zhao Guang, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a day like a year, but Han Fei gradually began to watch this film with the audience's mentality.

Undoubtedly, the production of this drama is quite sophisticated. Different from ordinary pure mainland court dramas, this drama also adds many elements of passionate writing, such as the character design of the protagonist "Wei Yingluo", which is both scheming and rich. A sense of justice, quite a bit of pride when seeing injustice.

It is completely different from the previous court dramas where the same white lotus blackened protagonist is completely different. Secondly, Zhao Guang’s editing style is also concise and clear, so that people don’t look as gloomy as other court dramas, with all kinds of bitterness and hatred. .

Before he knew it, Han Fei glanced at the time. The six episodes had already been played, and the scene was frozen at Wei Yingluo rushing to make a phoenix robe.

"Why did it stop?"

"Yeah, keep playing. Didn't you say there are seventy episodes?"

Immediately there was a commotion in the screening room, Han Fei gave Zhao Guang a "reassuring" look, but said with a smile: "Leaders, there is no rush to review the film at this time. But it must be rewarded."

In the private room of the hotel, everyone exchanged cups and drinks, and the atmosphere was harmonious, but it could be seen that each of them had their own little thoughts hidden.

A balding middle-aged man put down his wine glass and said suddenly: "Mr. Han, isn't the seventy episodes of your show a bit too long? Can the quality of the next episodes be guaranteed?"

Han Fei was overjoyed when he heard it. He suspected that the buyer was the buyer. They never mentioned it before, but he was a little worried. Now that someone brought it up, it means that the deadlock has been broken.

The questioner is the production director of Jiangsu Satellite TV. In recent years, Jiangsu Satellite TV has been regarded as a more promising competitor among the second-tier satellite TVs. In recent years, their ratings on variety shows have gradually caught up. However, in the battlefield of TV dramas It has been suppressed by the three first-line satellite TVs of Mango TV, Zhelan TV, and Magic City TV. No wonder he is so impatient.

"Seventy episodes is indeed a bit long for online dramas, but for court dramas, it should be considered a basic operation, right? And leaders, please rest assured that we are not a one-off deal. The following episodes We have plenty of time to review, if the review fails, we can terminate the contract at any time." Han Fei laughed.

This is also an unspoken rule of the industry, because it is difficult to finish watching a long-form TV series with dozens of episodes in a short period of time, so the viewing sessions are usually just a few early episodes, but as a platform, Satellite TV, before the episodes are broadcast , has the right to return, or the broadcast is interrupted due to some review reasons, and the producer will not get the money for the remaining episodes that have not been aired.

So don't look at satellite TV as if it takes hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the copyright for a drama, which seems to be very risky. In fact, compared with the producer, the platform side can always find rules that are beneficial to itself.

The scene fell silent for a while. For some second-tier satellite TVs, the cost of the first broadcast can easily be hundreds of millions.

The first-line satellite TV is also unwilling to compete head-on with so many peers, they prefer to negotiate in private, so as to lower the price.

As for Penguin Video and Kiwi Fruit Video, they are already familiar with the cooperation with "Flying Bird Film and Television". They are waiting for Satellite TV to discuss the launch time. Also happy to watch the fun.

Just when Zhao Guang was burning with anxiety, the production director of Jiangsu Satellite TV just said, "Mr. Han, why don't we have a chat alone?"

Just as Han Fei was about to agree, someone said, "There's no need to talk alone. I'm a bit tired of eating too much meat. Why don't we open another room and drink tea?"

It was Director Ge of Mango TV who spoke, and obviously Jiangsu Satellite TV's intervention made him unable to sit still.

Soon Director Li of Zhelan Satellite TV and Director Liu of Magic City Satellite TV couldn't sit still anymore.

Han Fei also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to everyone with a smile: "If you are interested, you may wish to join us. The greetings are not good, and the leaders forgive me."

There were a few people missing at the wine table, and it was a bit deserted, but this was not over, and soon the production directors of Yangcheng Satellite TV and Pengcheng Satellite TV also stood up.

Zhao Guang's heart moved. Although the ratings of Yangcheng Satellite TV and Pengcheng Satellite TV were not as good as those first-line satellite TVs, they were really rich.

Seeing two more competitors coming in, Director Ge’s expression changed. It’s a coincidence that Zhao Guang stayed in Xiangjiang for several years, and his filming techniques were a little bit biased towards Hong Kong dramas, but he deviated from them. She is petty, and there is an actress in "Story of Yanxi Palace" this time who is also an actor from Xiangjiang. As a Cantonese-speaking area separated by a strip of water, she still has a great influence in Yangcheng and Pengcheng.

This is why Yangcheng Satellite TV and Pengcheng Satellite TV came to intervene.

One more competitor means one more opportunity to sell at a high price. Han Fei was naturally in a good mood and quickly poured tea for these two.

"Mr. Han, since we are here, there is no need to go around in circles. Your production cost of this drama is 400 million yuan per episode, and we will produce 300 million yuan per episode. What do you think of this price?" the producer from Jiangsu Satellite TV said. The director was straightforward as always.

In fact, this price is already quite a lot, which means that the cost of the TV series alone is 2.1 million, plus the sale of the second broadcast and the third broadcast, the network broadcast is basically a pure profit.

But before he finished speaking, Yangcheng Satellite TV and Pengcheng Satellite TV looked at each other and said: "300 million episodes, that's still a loss, Mr. Han, see if this works, we have the premiere rights at the same time Buy it and broadcast it simultaneously, 400 million episodes."

As soon as these words came out, even Director Ge's face changed. This price was originally his psychological price. Logically speaking, at the same price, in terms of competitiveness, he believed that Han Fei would definitely choose Mango TV. After all, Mango TV's The ratings were unmatched by other satellite TVs, but Yangcheng Satellite TV and Pengcheng Satellite TV jointly bid, and the price was too high in the second bid, which caught him off guard.

The production director of Jiangsu Satellite TV who spoke first was speechless. As soon as the price was announced, he knew he was out of the game.

Director Li of Zhelan Satellite TV gritted his teeth: "420 million episodes, Mr. Han, this price is already very fair."

Director Liu of Shanghai Satellite TV immediately interrupted: "435 million."

This price already shows sincerity, Han Fei was about to speak, but Director Ge said: "480 million, if there is a price higher than this, I will admit it."

The room was completely silent, Director Li and Director Liu both looked at each other and smiled wryly. This price is equivalent to gambling. After all, the cast of this drama is really not strong enough. In the TV drama industry, sometimes the cast is more important than the production one ring.

"Then thank you Director Ge for your support." Han Fei knew from the expressions of everyone that this was already the limit.

In fact, the original version of "Story of Yanxi Palace" also held a viewing meeting, and Yu Ma still had some appeal, but even so, after the viewing meeting was over, no TV station was willing to spend money to buy this movie, which shows the impetuousness of the film and television industry at that time. Later, it was iQiyi Huiyan Shizhu who bought the exclusive broadcast rights for the entire network.
