Three days later…
In the studio of Sujiang Satellite TV Station in Jinling Gulou District, the best part of You from the Star edited by Xiao Nai was being broadcasted.
Several special effects shots that cost a lot of money completely shocked the staff members present, especially the shot of Professor Jin blocking the car at the cliff. It was really cool.
Station Head Yao Hong and several staff members of Su Jiang Satellite TV were flipping through the script. Schonette drew out the essence of the book for them. The main reason was to avoid special effects for the cool scene, which had nothing to do with the plot. However, from the script, it was basically completely dependent on the plot.
"The best special effects in the country. It's really great." A staff member wearing glasses could not help but exclaim. Judging from the trailer, it was definitely a work of conscience.
"The plot is also very good. It's very compact and doesn't contain any exaggeration.”There were also staff members who studied the entire script and reported to Yao Hong.
"Xiao Nai, if you don't mind, come to my office for a cup of coffee.”At this point, Yao Hong knew that she had to get this TV series. This was an opportunity, a TV series that was destined to receive high ratings.
"Auntie, do you have anything to say about this TV series?”There was no one else in the office, and Xiao Nai also addressed him very intimately.
"It's great. If the publicity is good, it's not impossible to break three!”Yao Hong said.
"For the exclusive premiere rights of 'My Love From the Star', we offer 35 million. I think this offer should be enough to show our sincerity.”Yao Hong had a confident smile when she spoke. Su Jiang Satellite TV believed that the other party would not reject such a contract.
Last year, when they won the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the price they offered was only 16 million.
However, this contract was not what Xiao Nai wanted. He immediately smiled and said,"Your offer does show your sincerity and I'm very satisfied. However, I don't want to simply sign a contract with you guys where you pay and we sell the TV series. I want to share some of the risks with you guys.”
"Can you explain it in detail?”Yao Hong asked curiously.
"How should I put it? My ancestral home is also Su Jiang. That's why I have some ideas.”Xiao Nai said with a smile.
"That's right. Actually, you've always been quite popular in Su Jiang. Your Little Apple is popular all over the streets and alleys.”Yao Hong added.
No matter what, it was Xiao Nai's second hometown, especially in Jinling. Xiao Nai's popularity was really not to be underestimated. This had a lot to do with Su Jiang's lack of artistes in the entertainment industry.
"I wonder if Auntie has any thoughts about the weekly broadcast model?”Xiao Nai slowly began to explain his thoughts.
"How could you have such thoughts! In my opinion, it's quite awkward to take this route in China.”Yao Hong objected without hesitation. This was very different from her original intention.
"Of course I know. The audience in the mainland is used to waiting for their favorite TV series to broadcast after dinner every day. I have my own habit of watching dramas." Xiao Nai took a sip of tea and continued,"That's why we put the experimental plot in the primetime slot on Fridays and Saturday in January and February. It was the beginning of the year, close to the time of the new year. On the one hand, it was safer to experiment on young people who were relatively easy to accept new things. On the other hand, the plot of an idol drama was relatively popular among young people. In addition to the special effects of this TV series and the popularity of the actors, there was a certain guarantee of a lower limit. The second point was to directly compete with Xiangnan TV's " Everyday Upwards " and " Happy Camp ". Under the circumstances of strong publicity, the 31 episodes were enough for Sujiang TV to suppress Xiangnan TV for eight weeks, which was two months. The blow to them was self-evident.”
"But on the other hand, if we lose, this huge investment will cost the television station and your company nothing.”Yao Hong's mind was also spinning rapidly.
"That's why I said that this risk will be shared by our company and Sujiang Satellite TV. That's also the part where we're going to start negotiating.”
"What exactly happened? Please elaborate."
"35 million, I only want 25 million. If the TV series reaches 1.5 ratings, I believe that both of us will be satisfied with the outcome.”In fact, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Xiao Nai would not be satisfied with a viewership rating of 1.5. However, under the circumstances where she was competing with Xiangnan TV's two ace shows, if she could get this viewership rating, then Su Jiang TV would definitely be able to accept it.
"On this basis. If the viewership reached 2.5. Su Jiang Satellite TV had to pay Xiao Liang Film and Television another 10 million. If the viewership reached 3.5, he would add another 10 million. If the viewership could reach 4, he would add another 10 million. For every additional 0.5, Sujiang Satellite TV would have to pay 10 million to Xiao Liang Film and Television.”To be honest, it was a little too much.
"The price you offered seems a little too high.”Yao Hong roughly calculated Xiao Nai's conditions and found that if the TV series 'ratings were still acceptable, the money she would take out would be far higher than the original 35 million.
"I believe that the high viewership ratings of the television series are also the result that you all want to see." Xiao Nai smiled and said. First of all, we directly took the risk of competing with Xiangnan TV's ace program.”
"If we can successfully test the feasibility of weekly broadcasting in China on this suitable experimental field, then at least in this step, Su Jiang TV will be ahead of Xiangnan TV. On the other hand, Su Jiang TV wasn't the only one who would spend a lot of money on the first TV series of the new year. The other television stations would also spend a lot of money to buy television dramas that were of sufficient weight. Although it wasn't glorious to say that they were suppressing each other and that there was vicious competition, the market was only so big. If they wanted the advertisers to have confidence in them, there were some things that they had to do!”
Yao Hong lowered her head and pondered with a complicated expression.
On the one hand, it was just the premiere rights. It was hard to say if it was worth the price!
On the other hand, Yao Hong wasn't sure if the implementation of the weekly broadcast model would be successful in the country.
According to the normal broadcast mode, it was possible for the viewership ratings to break through 2 or 3. It was even possible for it to break through 3.5. Even at the most competitive time of the year. After all, the quality of the TV series was there. Moreover, Xiao Nai was in the limelight now, and there were also Wang Li Kun and Yang Rong, whose acting skills were commendable, joining. The appeal was definitely strong enough.
However, the risk of a weekly broadcast was still too high. Yao Hong wasn't completely confident.
"To be honest, your suggestion is a little too harsh. I'm afraid it'll be difficult for us to agree.”Yao Hong said with a troubled expression.
"I don't think so. On the contrary, I think it's a very professional plan for both of us to bear this risk together. In fact, I've always thought that the cooperation between the production team and the television station could be closer to a certain extent.”Xiao Nai said," There are two modes in Han Country. One is for the TV station to directly set up a project to shoot. The other is for the film company to produce the TV series and then sell it to the TV station. However, the common point was that they shared the risk and the profits. I think it's very professional. To a certain extent, the reason why weekly dramas could not be promoted in China was largely due to the SARFT's review mechanism. However, as long as he grasped the pulse of the market and broadcasted it weekly, it might not be impossible to achieve good results.”
In the future, Xiangnan TV had a great time broadcasting weekly.
After hearing Xiao Nai's words, Yao Hong stood up and said,"Xiao Nai, it's getting late. You just got off the plane and need to rest. We understand quite a few of your suggestions. There are many things that are beyond our original expectations, but to be honest, some concepts are quite attractive to me. Therefore, we decided to have a meeting to discuss it. How about we continue to hold a meeting tomorrow and finally decide on the terms of cooperation?”
"Alright, see you tomorrow then!" Xiao Nai and Yao Hong stood up to shake hands and bid farewell.
