After dinner, the two of them sat on the sofa and chatted.
"Xiao Tian, after filming the first season of iPartment, do you have any plans for the second season?" Liu Xiaoya asked.”
Speaking of which, Liu Xiaoya did not take iPartment too seriously at first. She thought that it was just a funny drama. However, she did not expect that iPartment, which had already been broadcasted online, could still get an average viewership rating of nearly 2% in the most competitive primetime slot. The highest viewership rating was close to 3%. For Time Media, they did not care about the tens of millions of yuan earned from Xiao Tian. What they cared about was the popularity that iPartment had given to Starlight TV. The viewership ratings.
Time Media had always been at a disadvantage in terms of television. The three satellite channels were ranked 50th out of a total of more than 170 satellite channels. This was Time Media's biggest shortcoming. In the past few years, the company had invested more than 1.5 billion yuan into the three satellite channels, but the results were very mediocre.
According to the company's evaluation, Xiao Tian's iPartment was equivalent to the previous investment of 300 million. Thinking about it, would it be better to throw away 300 million just to raise the rankings of the three satellite channels, or to bring in Xiao Tian's TV series and earn tens of millions instead?
Xiao Tian had already made plans for this." We'll have to wait for the second season. Sis, you know that Shishi, Liying, and my sister are still students. We can't let filming affect our studies. That's abandoning the essentials for the trifles. I plan to shoot the second season next summer."”
"What are your plans for the near future?" Liu Xiaoya asked.
"I plan to do a variety show in the near future.”Xiao Tian said as he looked at Liu Xiaoya's beautiful figure.
Liu Xiaoya frowned." A variety show? Alright, I'll get my artistes to support you.”
Liu Xiaoya was not optimistic about variety shows. Not only Liu Xiaoya, but everyone in the industry was also not optimistic!
Currently, the highest rated variety show had a viewership rating of 1.3%. This viewership rating was not bad, but this show occupied the best broadcast time and had the best male and female hosts in the country. Every week, a superstar would support the show and two regular guests would be invited. They were all big shots who were between the A-list and the superstars!
Liu Xiaoya couldn't be blamed for not being optimistic. This was because the variety shows in this world were still the most primitive interview shows. After decades, this model had been fixed. When it came to variety shows, everyone would think of interviews.
In recent years, singing, skits, and crosstalk competitions had been added.
This was also the reason why Liu Yan had thought that 150,000 yuan for a variety show was a little too much. Xiao Tian's show was scheduled once a week, 52 episodes a year. If he calculated, it would be less than 3,000 yuan per episode. It was about the same as hiring a host!
This was because the development prospects of a host were really not good. In terms of income, they were even several streets away from a movie star. A host who earned a million dollars a year was already a gold medal host. If he wanted to get any higher, he had to develop into the film industry.
As for film and television actors, as long as they reached the C-list, they could earn millions a year. In other words, the income of a gold medal host was only equivalent to that of a C-list celebrity.
Liu Xiaoya thought that Xiao Tian was going to do a celebrity interview program, so she asked the celebrities under her to support Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian shook his head." Sis, please don't. Do you think I can afford to hire a celebrity with my family background?”
"Not inviting celebrities? Then how can you guarantee the viewership ratings? I'm telling you, if the viewership ratings are too low, I won't care about my feelings and will take it off the air.”Perhaps Liu Xiaoya felt that her words were a little stiff, so she added," The rules of the television station are all like this. Why don't you put it on Youdou for the first time? I'll get someone to give you the first recommendation."”
Xiao Tian had only found out recently that the recommendations on Youdou were all clearly priced. The previous week's recommendation was worth 2.8 million yuan, and although this category's recommendation was slightly worse, it was still worth 700,000 yuan. Of course, this was only for new dramas and shows. Since Youdou was so big, it was impossible for it to ruin its reputation just to promote some garbage works. Only those popular TV dramas and variety shows could be recommended more. Even if they had to spend money, it had to be a work that met the standards before it could be recommended.
"This variety show isn't suitable for an online premiere because it attracts children and housewives. These people don't usually go online much and prefer to watch TV.”
"Xiao Tian, I still suggest that you continue to film TV dramas. I heard from Xiaoxue that the script for iPartment was written by you. Don't waste your talent in this area.”Liu Xiaoya advised.
Xiao Tian rolled his eyes." Sis, how about we make a bet?"”
Liu Xiaoya became interested when she heard the bet." Tell me!"”
Xiao Tian smiled and said," If the average viewership ratings of my variety show can surpass the first episode of iPartment, I win. If I lose, I'll give you the second season of iPartment for free after it's filmed!"”
Liu Xiaoya smiled." Xiao Tian, according to my company's evaluation, if the second season of iPartment can reach the standard of the first season, all the copyrights and the surrounding profits will belong to you. It will be worth at least 300 million yuan.”
"Sis, just tell me if you want to bet or not!" Xiao Tian laughed.”
Seeing Xiao Tian's confidence, Liu Xiaoya would not agree so easily." Tell me about the creative idea of the show first, then I'll decide if I agree to it or not!”
"Good!" Xiao Tian told Liu Xiaoya about the idea behind Do You Remember.
Liu Xiaoya shook her head." Your show is at most a little creative. I'll bet with you, but I won't take advantage of you. If you lose, you just have to promise me that you can only treat me as your sister in the future! If I lose…I'll let you shower with me every time you come over!”
Gulp...
"Sis, are you serious?"
"Of course!" Liu Xiaoya laughed.
Xiao Tian immediately stood up and walked out!
"Hey, where are you going? Help me massage my feet. I'm doing some sit-ups!”Liu Xiaoya called Xiao Tian from behind.
Xiao Tian didn't even turn his head." I'm going to film a show. What else can I do?!"”
Back to himself, Xiao Tian immediately started to work on Do You Remember.
However, when he told the studio about this idea, eight of the nine girls objected. The remaining one, Ou Yang Nana, supported it unconditionally!
"Xiao Tian, how childish are you to plan such a show?" Exemplary Liu was speechless.”
Xiao Xue also tried to persuade him." Brother, this is a losing business. Isn't it just memorizing lyrics? What's there to see?”
Liu Yifei remained cold and aloof." I won't watch such a boring show anyway."”
Yang Ying thought about it carefully and said,"It would be interesting if we invited some celebrities to memorize the lyrics.”
Xiao Tian sighed,"Why is it so difficult to make a show?"
However, although the nine girls were not optimistic about this show, they all passed the voting.
In Liu Yifei's words, wasn't it just a few hundred thousand yuan for a program? Taking two or three million yuan was good enough for you to hit a wall. Just treat it as tuition.
Xiao Tian only wanted to say,'I'll pay your sister's tuition fees. I'm a teacher!'
Since everyone was not cooperating or opposing, this program could only be done by Xiao Tian and Liu Yan.
