Chapter 85: I Want to Take a Scene on Mount Tai (3/3)

Higashiyamadai, Director's Office

Zuo Le and Chen Changshan sat looking at each other, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Most of the filming of "Family with Children" will soon enter post-production, and if the progress goes well, it will be just in time for the Spring Festival in 18.

After Chen Changshan heard about the filming progress of "Family with Children", he called Zuo Le to discuss Dongshan Channel's purchase of the TV premiere exclusive broadcast copyright of "Family with Children" from Shanhe Pictures.

Zuo Le is indispensable, when the TV series is filmed, everyone is sold, and he himself is more inclined to sell to his old club than to cooperate with those unfamiliar TV stations.

However, in buying and selling, price is always a point of divergence, and the two are now frozen here, also because the price is not uniform.

Zuo Le believes that with the achievements and fame of his first three films, coupled with the excellent quality of "Family with Children" itself, this sitcom is likely to continue the glory of his previous works.

Therefore, in the face of the exclusive right to premiere on the TV platform that Dongshan TV wanted, Zuo Le opened his mouth and offered 230 million.

Chen Changshan felt that it was too expensive, Dongshan Terrace had been in operation for so many years, and he hadn't spent more than 200 million yuan to buy a drama, and he opened his mouth to bargain to 150 million, Zuo Le naturally refused, and the two sides began to negotiate.

"Director, 150 million is really not good, if you want to say that you are willing to share the TV copyright with others, it is okay, the first broadcast exclusive right, this price is too low. Zuo Le looked angry.

"Xiao Zuo, your "Family with Children" is a sitcom, how much can you use at a total cost, 20 million or 30 million? The price is 230 million, which is too dark. Chen Changshan said earnestly.

"Black?"

Zuo Le looked innocent: "Didn't I learn this from you, the previous traffic station two-part series and "The Story of the Cooking Class", the cost of our station didn't invest much, but the selling price of the network copyright was more than two or three hundred million.

What did you and Boss Chen say at that time, yes, film and television works can't completely take into account the cost of shooting, and it depends on the commercial traffic effect it brings to the platform.

Director, if you talk to me about the cost, then I can talk to you about the advertising fee that "Family with Children" can earn for the station, 230 million, which is a fraction. ”

“.........”

Chen Changshan was choked by Zuo Le's words.

There is no way, Zuo Le knows too much about the internal affairs of Dongshan Terrace, and it is estimated that from the very beginning, he has thought about Chen Changshan's various responses.

Today, it is said that the two sides are negotiating, but it is better to say that Zuo Le is constantly testing the bottom line of Dongshantai, and then reaching a cooperation at a suitable price.

Thinking of this, Chen Changshan also faded his mind to continue to negotiate with Zuo Le, anyway, pay more here, and turn around and make money from advertisers.

"In this way, I won't talk nonsense with you, 230 million is a bit high, let's round it up, 200 million. ”

Zuo Le was silent for a moment, and stretched out a finger: "Add another 10 million, 210 million." ”

"Deal. ”

Chen Changshan slapped his face, in the past two years, Dongshantai has made a lot of money by relying on several dramas of Zuo Le, and 210 million is barely a medium meaning.

Zuo Le also had a smile on his face, this price almost met his psychological expectations.

Even if "Family with Children" is brought to other TV stations, it is roughly this price, not much, compared with the profit of one or two hundred million, Zuo Le still chooses to continue to have a good relationship with Dongshan TV.

............

At the end of the negotiations, the atmosphere between the two returned to harmony.

Chen Changshan took out a cigarette, Zuo Le personally helped light it, Chen Changshan looked at his dog-legged appearance, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"This one made 200 million, you kid is a hair, no wonder you have to run out and do it alone. ”

Zuo Le smiled, and didn't say much on this issue, but asked: "Does our station have anything to do with Taishan?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"I want to make a martial arts drama in the new drama, and I plan to shoot some scenes on Mount Tai, but I have no contact with that side, and I want to ask if there is a way in the station. ”

"Martial arts?Taishan?, you don't make sitcoms?" Chen Changshan was a little surprised.

"It's not that I don't shoot, it's just that I've filmed several sitcoms in a row, and I'm a little tired, so I want to try other themes, and I just have a good book in my hand, so I plan to shoot a martial arts I like.

By the way, it can be regarded as honing my directing ability, after all, I am still young and cannot always be limited to melodramas. ”

Chen Changshan nodded, lowered his head and thought for a while: "I really know a leader over there, it's a fourth-in-command, don't worry, filming is a good thing, and it can also help promote the attractions, it should be no problem." ”

"Great. ”

Zuo Le was very happy, and asked again: "Director, in addition to the people over there in Taishan, do you know the leaders of Liujiajie, Emei Mountain, Huangshan, Jiuchengzhai, Shennongjia, and Changbai Mountain?" ”

Chen Changshan looked confused: "Are you filming martial arts dramas, or national tourist attractions?"

"The combination of martial arts and scenery, don't you think it is very interesting to combine so many scenic spots in our country with our unique martial arts culture?"

"There is a head, there is a head, but how much does it cost? Is your 200 million enough to spend?"

"You don't understand this, some real scenes, some special effects, save money and have good results, I have contacted the top special effects team in China, and there is absolutely no problem with the existing technology. ”

Zuo Le obviously made a lot of preparations, speaking of this eloquent talk, Chen Changshan listened to it, and couldn't help but be fascinated, at this time, Zuo Le inadvertently showed his fangs.

"Director, the investment amount in this drama is too large, and we can't eat it alone, I don't know if the station is interested in participating in it. ”

............

Flickering in Zuole...... cough cough, when he persuaded Chen Changshan, he was far away at the CCTV headquarters in Beijing.

The famous screenwriter and producer Luo Qianzheng is doing everything possible to get CCTV to invest in filming the remake of Gu Long's novel "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng".

However, CCTV's response to his project was mediocre, and the disapproval was partly due to the lack of optimism, but more because of the loss.

In the many military dramas that were invested and filmed for the 70th anniversary of the army, except for a special forces-themed "Brave Attack" and "National Defense Student", the results were not too good, and most of the rest were not ideal, and they could only barely recover their costs.

And the three trump cards of the sea, land and air that CCTV has high hopes for, "King of the Land" was a failure, needless to say.

The reputation of "Deep Sea Dragon" is okay, but the ratings are extremely dismal, because the director and screenwriter dig too deep in submarine professional technology, resulting in many plots and lines are relatively profound, and military fans are quite enjoyable to watch, but it is extremely unfriendly to ordinary audiences.

The filming of the decent Air Force theme "Eagle Falcon" was originally one of the bottom of the three trump cards in CCTV's heart, but because of the explosion of "The Story of the Cooking Class", many viewers became interested in the Air Force and came to see it.

As a result, "Eagle Falcon" became the best of the three trump cards, but unfortunately because of the average quality of the TV series itself, it failed to seize the opportunity, and finally got a result that was not embarrassing or embarrassing.

Therefore, CCTV, which has planted enough in these military dramas, is not in the mood to invest in any TV series in a short period of time

Luo Qian tried all kinds of methods, and finally had a closed door, but he had no choice but to go to Xiangnan, planning to go to Star City to try his luck.
