Su Ye selling the first round of broadcasting rights to My Own Swordsman to Central TV for 200,000 yuan per episode did not cause any waves for the time being.
However, on the other side.
When the results of the 43% viewership ratings for the premiere episode of My Own Swordsman reached Mango TV, Mango TV was also in a state of chaos.
"Old Liu, you've really done a great job this time! Don't worry, you're the first to receive this year's bonus and award!”
Mango TV's station head was very pleased with himself. He personally went to the director's office to praise him for his outstanding work.
In the first half of the year, Mango TV had just released a blockbuster film like 'Great Qing,' and the second film was currently being filmed.
And now, summer vacation had just passed, and a godly drama like " My Own Swordsman " had appeared.
Mango TV really wanted to wake up from their dreams laughing.
Within a year, he had trampled Central TV under his feet twice. This made Mango TV's Station Head feel as if he had drunk honey every day.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to the leader. Aren't we all working hard under the leader's encouragement? This small achievement is not worth mentioning.”
Dr. Larson said modestly, but his face was already smiling like a flower.
"Alright."
The general manager waved his hand and said in a high voice," Old Liu, I have to criticize you for being overly modest. That's not right. Mango TV doesn't have so many rules and regulations. If it's a credit, we should give it a lot of praise. Otherwise, who would work hard in the future?”
The office was filled with cheerful smiles.
All the staff in the purchasing department were laughing happily.
Such a huge contribution.
The entire department's performance evaluation and year-end bonus would definitely be given…
After the general manager praised him, he said,"We should hurry up and fulfill our contract with 'My Own Sword'. That way, we won't have to wait for the show to finish broadcasting. Old Liu, take the 8 million yuan check and make a trip to Beijing personally. Hand the check to Ian in person and bring back the remaining copies of the drama series.”
"Alright, Station Head."
Director Liu nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, the director of the television station's legal department walked in with a contract in his hand. He had a strange expression on his face." Station Head, Director Liu, I'm afraid you'll have to take a look at this first.”
In his hand was the contract for " My Own Swordsman."
"What's wrong?"
The general manager looked confused.
Hadn't they already seen the contract? It was nothing much. It was just a tiered pricing. Now that the other party had managed to get more than 40% of the viewership ratings with his own abilities, the station would just give him 8 million for an episode of 100 thousand.
Buying a blockbuster drama for 8 million was definitely a huge profit for Mango TV.
Nowadays, the era of television stations broadcasting selfies had long passed. Production centers, art centers, and film studios in various provinces and cities had to sell their independent television dramas to television stations.
Otherwise, there would be no place to broadcast it…
Nowadays, filming a TV series basically cost millions.
Mango TV spending 8 million to buy a drama was not that shocking.
The station head was a little puzzled. What could go wrong with this contract?
However, when Director Liu saw the attitude of the legal supervisor, his heart skipped a beat.
This is bad!
As expected, the legal manager handed the contract to the station head and pointed at a clause on it."Just now, the station notified us that we needed to transfer the money, so we went through the contract again. In the end, we found out…Sir, look at this.”
The general manager took a look and his eyes widened."First round broadcast rights?"
It was actually broadcasting rights, not exclusive broadcasting rights!
What was going on?
Mango TV had spent 8 million, yet they still couldn't get the first round of exclusive broadcasting rights?
Swoosh!
Everyone's gaze instantly fell on Director Liu.
Director Liu's head buzzed, and he immediately remembered.
It was indeed true.
When he signed the contract with Ian, it was written that he had the first-round broadcasting rights. Moreover, Director Liu did not particularly investigate this matter at that time.
However, this was not his negligence in his work, but rather his acquiescence.
Because…
At that time, who would have thought that on the first day of the premiere, My Own Swordsman would have taken in 43% of the viewership ratings?
Director Liu did not even think that it could beat Central TV's television series at the same time slot.
Therefore, at that time, he felt that he had picked up a huge bargain without spending money…
Therefore, Director Liu didn't really care about whether the first round would be exclusive or broadcast.
After all.
If the viewership ratings of "My Own Swordsman" were worse than "Magic Phone," Mango TV would not have to fork out a single cent according to the contract. In other words, Su Ye would lose everything he had invested.
Under such circumstances, how could he, Director Liu, have the nerve to fight with Ian for the first round of exclusive broadcasting rights?
He had to leave them a way out, right?
Otherwise, Mango TV would seem too overbearing. They wouldn't even give them a chance to survive and would even take their drama for free!
Who would have thought that My Own Swordsman would become so popular?
"I know about this…"
Director Liu explained everything with a bitter face. After he was done, Mango TV's Station Head fell silent.
There was really nothing he could do about this matter.
Punishing Director Liu?
Director Liu was clearly the hero. It could not be said that Director Liu did not take advantage of him, but he was wrong, right?
Actually, it wouldn't have been a problem.
However, when the viewership ratings of 43% for the premiere episode of My Own Swordsman were released, Mango TV immediately realized how fatal this first round exclusive broadcast rights was…
This meant that the other television stations could also buy Martial Arts Legend!
That was not right.
It was not that they could buy it, but that they would definitely buy it. Moreover, Central TV would definitely pay a high price to buy it!
The fourth Central TV King Auction was just around the corner. Everyone was in the same industry, so how could they not see through Central TV's Chief Hu's thoughts?
At any other time, Central TV might not necessarily buy Wulin Legend.
However, at this point in time, with Martial Arts Legend crushing Central TV's Magic Phone, Central TV would definitely take down Martial Arts Legend no matter what!
"Director Liu, get ready immediately. Xiao Wang, book two tickets to Beijing for Director Liu and me immediately. I want to go to Beijing myself!”
Mango TV's Station Head decisively ordered.
Was he going to stop it?
It wasn't.
Since Mango TV did not have the exclusive broadcasting rights, no one could stop Central TV from buying the drama.
Maybe.
Central TV was currently negotiating with Ian about the price!
However, Mango TV could not just sit back and do nothing. On one hand, they had to go to Beijing to pay and get the remaining copies of the drama. On the other hand, Mango TV had to get involved and try to minimize the impact of this matter...
