The two episodes were soon over. All the guests present had solemn expressions on their faces. Although they had participated in this test screening with different attitudes, their foresight could be said to be vicious. Otherwise, they would not have been able to control a department that was related to the survival of the television station.
Wang Shiqing gestured for the technician to turn off the TV and walked up to the podium. He smiled and said,"Leaders of the TV station, the first and second episodes of 'The Legend of Zhen Huan' have finished broadcasting. Now, let me give you a general introduction to this TV series. All the scripts for " The Legend of Zhen Huan " were completed by Director Feng Yi. They planned to shoot 76 episodes, and the investment for each episode was no less than 1,000,000 RMB. The total investment was no less than 80 million RMB. The selection of the actors is a large-scale audition from all over the country. Not only is it based on appearance and temperament, but we also take into account acting skills. It can be said that every actor's performance has passed the test. Of course, the leaders must have seen this from the previous two episodes. And the combination of the producer and director was the golden combination in Hurricane Rescue-Director Wind and Director Zhang. The power of their group must have been obvious to everyone. They could be called a box office miracle and ratings were guaranteed. The post-production of 'The Legend of Zhen Huan' was completed by the Wind Director alone. The music, art, and special effects were not inferior to any blockbuster. Up until now, its only flaw was that it had yet to find a suitable platform. Today, we invited everyone here to ask the experts to help us make up for this defect and provide a suitable platform for it to be broadcasted. Of course, with everyone's eyes, they had already made a preliminary estimate of the value of this " Legend of Zhen Huan ". Therefore, we will be bidding for the premiere rights of 'The Legend of Zhen Huan' at 8 pm tonight. Please come and guide us."
After listening to Wang Shiqing's words, everyone looked at each other with fear in their eyes. After that, they all left in a hurry. After all, for such a competitive project, how to bid, such as how much, was not something they could decide. Of course, the only exception was Station Director Xu of Jiangsu TV. He bid farewell to Feng Yi, who was accompanying him, as he walked towards the elevator.
Director Xu hurried back to the hotel and called two assistants to discuss.
"What do you think the viewership ratings will be if 'The Legend of Zhen Huan' is broadcast on our station?”Director Xu asked solemnly.
The head of the production department pondered for a moment and said,"I think the nationwide viewership ratings will reach at least 3%.”
"In the past, our highest viewership ratings were only around 1 p. m.”Director Xu frowned.
"It's 1.28." The head of the program purchasing department smiled and said," It's a film that we bought from Han country at a high price.”
Chief Xu turned to the head of the production department and asked,""Then isn't this three percent overestimation?”
The production department head looked at the program purchasing department head who was standing at the side with a faint smile. He was originally a little hesitant, but at this moment, he gritted his teeth and shook his head."I think it should be possible.”The last film that broke the viewership record was strongly recommended by the purchasing department, and the production department had voted against it. From then on, the head of the purchasing department wanted to suppress him in every way. He naturally wanted to take this opportunity to make a beautiful comeback. Even if he lost again, the situation would not be too bad. But if he won, it would be the time for him to hold his head high.
Chief Xu then sought the opinion of the head of the purchasing department.
"I'll reserve my opinion," the head of the purchasing department said with a smile.”However, she thought to herself," No matter how high the viewership rating of this show is, it's still purchased. It can't be without the credit of my purchasing department. If the viewership rating isn't high, hehe, then I'm sorry." This was something that your production department strongly recommended.
Director Xu nodded and said,"Then let's discuss what conditions we can use to obtain the rights to broadcast it."”
"Actually, I've already estimated the production cost when I was watching the drama," the head of the production department said hesitantly. Just by looking at the cast, costumes, and props, the production cost of an episode could exceed 1 million. If we include the music and special effects, it would probably cost more than 1.5 million.”
"That means that the production cost of a TV series can exceed 120 million?”Director Xu asked in shock.
"Yes."
The three of them fell silent. Although Jiangsu Satellite TV was also a provincial satellite TV, it was too close to Shanghai. A large portion of the audience had been snatched away by Shanghai Satellite TV. Over the years, advertising fees had decreased year by year, and spending money was also restricted. It was extremely difficult to come up with such a large sum of money.
"Maybe…we can get it without 120 million.”The head of the purchasing department forced a smile and said," After all, this is only the first broadcast rights. They still have the second broadcast rights. The third broadcast rights can be auctioned.”
The two of them looked at him as if he was an idiot. "What kind of price have you seen for the second-round rights and third-round broadcasting rights?" The production department head said disdainfully.”
" What do you think we should do then?" the head of the purchasing department said angrily. We can't take out that much money. Are we going to let others take it? If Shanghai TV takes it, we'll be waiting for death in the future.”
Chief Xu could not help but rub his temples and said in distress,"Then what should we do?"
"Since we can't use money, can we use other things?" The head of the production department forced a smile.”
"Something else?" Director Xu stood up and walked around a few times before he said thoughtfully,"What do we have that's worth that much money?”Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said,"How about it?" We…like this?"
