After the viewing session, Central TV still bought Soldier Assault, and the other television stations left in disappointment.
Next was the negotiation. The two sides negotiated for a few days before finally agreeing on the contract.
Buy《Soldier Assault》Mode,《Order》[Order Point Price] Mode,
CCTV《2016 Year Time, Just Abandon《Fixed Price》Buy TV Series Mode, Change to [Order Point Price] Mode: The viewership ratings would determine the purchase price of the TV series.
The specific proposal was that Central TV would pay the basic price of 600,000 yuan per episode for the premiere rights of Soldier Assault, which meant that the total price would be 18 million yuan. The calculation method of [Point Based Price] was: For every 0.5% that the average viewership rating exceeded the baseline of 3.5%, the producer would be paid an additional 50,000 yuan per episode on top of the basic price. On the other hand, if the average viewership rating was 0.5% lower than the baseline of 3.5%, the producer would be paid 50,000 yuan less per episode.
This plan was not considered mature, but it was a very useful mechanism.
Everything depended on the market.
No matter how awesome the producers bragged about the TV series, Central TV only looked at the viewership ratings.
Simple, crude, and reasonable.
As for why Central TV was pushing for this purchasing mechanism, it was because they had been tricked by the producers of TV series in the past and bought them at high prices, resulting in them losing money. In addition, there was also a bribery incident. The deputy director of the Film and Television Department of the Arts Center took advantage of his position to accept a bribe of 500,000 yuan from the producer of the TV series "Big Boss." (The real situation is definitely more than that.)）
After this mechanism was officially put into use, Central TV Department 1 successfully avoided the risk.
At that time, there was a TV series called "Phoenix Bill". At first, the price of "Phoenix Bill" was very high, and then it boasted about how awesome the TV series was.
Central TV refused and directly used the method of [Price Based on Points] to set the price.
After the broadcast of "Phoenix Bill", the average viewership rating was only 1.3%. It was a complete failure. Central TV heaved a sigh of relief as they scolded the neighboring TV station. Fortunately, they did not buy it according to the bargaining price at that time. Otherwise, the TV station would definitely suffer a huge loss.
With this successful experience, Central TV began to officially use the [Point Based Price] mechanism, effectively avoiding several risks.
For Li Yunfeng, it was a good thing that Central TV used [Point Price] to purchase Soldier Assault because he knew how outstanding Soldier Assault was.
In his previous life on Earth,"Soldier Assault" wasn't very popular at first, so 28 ground stations (non-satellite stations) broadcasted it at the same time, and it was even rebroadcasted four or five times a year. In the first half of 2007, it became popular, and in 2008, it became popular for a whole year, and not giving up became a slogan.
It was a truly phenomenal TV series."Don't abandon, don't give up" was still a popular golden line ten years later. Moreover, it was a film that had truly made all the actors popular.
Therefore, the viewership ratings could definitely exceed 8%, or even 12%.
If the price was really that high, Central TV would probably cry. This was because if they were to follow the 'price by points' method, Central TV would have to pay a lot of money. It would be much more expensive than directly buying out the TV series.
The base price was 13.5 million yuan. If the viewership rating was 10%, it would be 6.5*2* 50,000 600,000, which was 1.25 million yuan.
Every episode had more than doubled.
Moreover, this was only the first broadcast rights. The replay rights would probably be sold at an even higher price.
After Li Yunfeng signed the contract, he couldn't help but think to himself,
"I reckon that Central TV will regret using this method of 'price by point'."”
He was a little happy…Well, alright, a little proud.
Time
flew by, and a week passed.
The Beautiful Her and the Four Knights was broadcasted on Xiangnan TV Station.
The first episode had a viewership rating of 5.4%, and the second episode had a viewership rating of 5.9%...
The viewership ratings were off to a good start, crushing most of the television dramas in the country. It made the Chinese entertainment industry shout the same phrase that had been shouted for more than a decade and more than a hundred times: "The wolf is here!”
The discussion topic was also very hot.
On the second day of the broadcast, the female lead's name was on the trending searches, with more than a million comments and more than 100,000 shares.
Mary Sue, so pitiful, and so on were all used to address the female lead.
Many young people who didn't watch much television became curious about "She and the Four Horsemen" after being hyped up like this. They either contributed to the viewership ratings or contributed to the online click rate.
That night, the viewership ratings for the third and fourth episodes rose again, breaking 6%. The third episode was 6.02%, the fourth season was 6.13%... It
was a perfect viewership rating curve.
On the third day, the Mary Sue male lead, tall, rich, and handsome male lead, once again dominated the trending news. After countless teenagers watched the TV series, they shouted, Oppa is so handsome! The female lead was so beautiful!
That night, the average viewership ratings for the fifth and sixth episodes reached 6.5%!
At this moment, all the other television dramas had failed.
At this moment, the 'crying wolf' had become a reality.
Countless 'seniors' in the entertainment industry called for China's programs to not corrupt the Chinese people. They wanted to boycott Korean dramas and promote their own dramas. They wanted to brag about how awesome their dramas were, about how they were in line with the moral values of the current era, about how they could let people experience the baptism of their souls, about the highest realm of art…
Unfortunately, these so-called 'seniors' scolded other works and people who had better results than them, and then they defended their so-called art to death. It was nonsense. They completely ignored what the people really liked.
If the viewership rating was not good or the box office was not high, these 'seniors' would curse,""It's not that my work is not good, it's that the audience is too trashy!”
However, these seniors were destined to be crushed by the wheels of history.
As a result of their clamor, more people found out that there was a Korean drama that was very popular.
Thus, that night, the average viewership ratings for the seventh and eighth episodes soared again, reaching 7.1%.
Those 'seniors in the entertainment industry who were worried about the country and the people' were so angry that they were about to have a heart attack.
On the fifth day, because it was Saturday,"She and the Four Horsemen" was no longer playing. Instead, it was playing "Happy Camp."
Because the content of this episode was related to "She and the Four Horsemen," the viewership ratings for "Huan Ben" were 34% higher than the previous episode!
However, at this time, the popularity of "She and the Four Horsemen" was strangely suppressed by "Soldier Assault".
It was all because the Han people were moved to tears by Beijing!!
