Chapter 29 Ambitious Procurement Department
Just when Zuo Le was working hard in the editing room, the production center had not broadcast the third TV series "Kind Grass", and the post-production had been roughly completed.
Fang Weimin and director Chu Xiaoxuan negotiated with the station to see if it could be broadcast on New Year's Day.
Although Deputy Director Mo Dashan said that he would no longer interfere in the affairs of the production center, his influence on the production center for many years is still there, and Fang Weimin himself also has a lot of contacts.
With the efforts of the old party in many aspects, "Kind Grass" successfully squeezed into the New Year's Day file, and was broadcast on Dongshan Satellite TV during the day and afternoon on January 2, 16.
After getting the broadcast schedule of "Kind Little Grass", the old party was relieved, but it was also a pity.
After all, the daytime slot is not as good as the evening prime time, and the ceiling of ratings is lower.
However, Fang Weimin turned around and thought about it, "Kind Grass" is also very good in the daytime slot, and the evening slot is the peak of the ratings of each David TV in a day, and the ratings competition in this time period is extremely fierce, which can be called a fairy fight.
Although the quality of the finished product of "Kind Little Grass" is not bad, compared with the new dramas that can enter the prime time of various Davids, there are not many outstanding advantages.
On the contrary, in the daytime file where the competition intensity is slightly weaker, with the good quality of "Kind Grass", he may be able to pull out the taller among the short and become a dark horse in the ratings.
............
Fang Weimin secretly poked and poked his own little abacus, and his rival Wang Xia was not idle.
Since that day, after the meeting of the senior leaders of Dongshan Taiwan, Taili made the final choice between outsourced dramas and self-made dramas, and after that, the procurement department led by Wang Xia received a lot of financial support from Taili.
After Wang Xia consulted the director Chen Changshan and the deputy director Wu Mao, she spent a lot of money in September and October to introduce two traffic urban dramas to be broadcast on Dongshan Satellite TV, and the results were okay.
There was no big explosion in the ratings, but they were all stable above the passing line, especially compared with the two self-made dramas of the production center that cleaned up the dismal, the results of the purchasing department were particularly "outstanding".
The succession of two battles made Wang Xia and the ambition of the procurement department gradually dissatisfied with maintaining stability and passing the line.
They want better results, completely sit on the top spot in Dongshan Channel's film and television, and by the way, knock the henchman of the production center to the ground, and they will never be able to turn over.
Wang Xia is ready to gamble big!
She wants to win the recently popular "Hello, Intern" and use it to make the opening drama of Dongshan Satellite TV's Spring Festival file.
The internal meeting of the purchasing department has made an analysis, and the production team and traffic cast of "Hello, Intern" are strong, coupled with the popularity that has been high since the start.
Once it is broadcast on the stars, there is a 7 to 80% chance that this drama will be a big hit, and it can even compete for the top spot in the Spring Festival ratings rankings.
Wang Xia was a little tempted.
Dongshan TV is not a first-line TV station in the country, and the ratings of Dongshan Satellite TV are hanging in the position of 10 all year round, and there is occasional improvement, and at most 678 swaying, if you can enter the top 5 once, it is a major event that even the director can be alarmed.
Spring Festival ratings champion?
is able to stabilize the top 3, and the purchasing department can be regarded as a great contribution to Taili!
At that time, not to mention Fang Weimin and the production center, even Mo Dashan, the deputy director, will have to let her Wang Xia score three points............
............
Wang Xia, who was full of beautiful visions, immediately took action.
However, she soon discovers that winning "Hello, Intern" is more difficult than she imagined.
At the beginning of last year, a certain general administration issued a regulation of "one drama and two stars", that is, a TV series can only be broadcast on two satellite channels at most at the same time, that is, the TV premiere rights of each drama can only be sold to two TV stations.
As a result, as soon as this regulation came out, major TV stations began to enter the mode of "fighting for wealth and burning money".
"Hello, Intern" is so popular now that it has long become a big fat meat that everyone wants to take a bite of, and major TV stations have long coveted it.
If Wang Xia wants to bring it back to Dongshantai, she has to defeat these competitors first.
presided over the purchasing department of Dongshan TV for several years, Wang Xia also has channels in the TV circle, she asked around, and soon knew who her opponent was this time.
Xiangnan, Modu, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Huiwan
"Hiss........."
Looking at these five TV stations, Wang Xia gasped vigorously, and her brows furrowed tightly.
Xiangnan, Modu, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all domestic first-line TV stations, with strong strength, needless to say.
Although Guangdong Dongtai is in the second tier, the owner is a large economic province and has a lot of money, so it is not afraid of any TV station than throwing money.
Of these four TV stations, Wang Xia really can't guarantee that she can compete with them, but Huiwan TV is slightly weaker than Dongshan TV, and she can be bullied and bullied.
Wang Xia thought about it for a while, and did not act rashly, but went to Tianyao Company, the producer of "Hello, Intern", to learn about the bids of several TV stations.
Maybe it was because everyone was in the tentative stage, and Tianyao Company did not deliberately conceal the bids of several TV stations, and Wang Xia got the information with a little effort.
"Hello, Intern" has a total of 60 episodes of finished dramas, and the four TV stations in Xiangnan, Modu, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong each bid 1.2 million for one episode, and a total of 72 million for a drama, while Huiwan TV bid 1 million for one episode, totaling 60 million.
From the perspective of the market, this price is a bit low for a TV series of the level of popularity of "Hello, Intern", but now is the tentative stage after all, and it is also normal for TV stations to intentionally lower prices when buying dramas.
Before inquiring about the bids of other TV stations, Wang Xia's psychological reserve price was 1.5 million per episode, and "Hello, Intern" had a total of 60 episodes, which is 90 million.
That's almost the maximum amount of procurement money she can use.
However, now it seems that 90 million may not be able to compete for those "big dogs" who spend a lot of money.
In addition to Huiwantai, which of the other four is not the master who can take out hundreds of millions of dollars casually, even if it is Huiwantai, which is not strong enough, it is not impossible to squeeze out hundreds of millions of funds by gritting his teeth.
Surrounded by tigers, it is extremely difficult for Dongshantai to win "Hello, Intern".
In her opinion, so many TV stations spent a lot of money to compete for the premiere rights of "Hello, Intern", which just proves that the possibility of this drama becoming a big hit is extremely high.
Wang Xia didn't want to let go of this opportunity in vain.
However, to use hundreds of millions of funds to buy a TV series, she is not qualified in the procurement department, Wang Xia hesitated for a moment and dialed the phone number of Deputy Director Wu Maowu.
Just as Fang Weimin thought of Mo Dashan in advance when he encountered any trouble, Wang Xia and the procurement department had any problems, and they also went to Wu Mao, a backer, for help as soon as possible.
"Hey, Wu Tai, hello, I'm Wang Xia, yes, I have something I want to report to you............"
