Chapter 224: Loyalty

December 6, Shonan Province, Star City.

Southern Television Network Complex, 18th floor, small conference room.

Peng Xiangming carefully signed a thirteen-page contract.

After he finished signing, he exchanged documents with Wang Youli, director of the Film and Television Comprehensive Department of Southern Television Network opposite, signed again, and finally completed the signing, both sides got up and handed over the documents to the staff waiting aside.

The two shook hands, and the scene suddenly burst into sparse applause.

Next, of course, there are steps for both parties to affix their official seals, and the contract will officially have legal effect, but that does not delay it can be determined now, and the two parties have officially reached this cooperation.

"You from the Star", at a price of 800,000 per episode, sold the premiere rights to the Southern Television Network.

Under the contract, the Southern Television Network must broadcast two episodes a day during the prime time of its Channel 1 evening, between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., and the station must not adjust the producer's editing.

Twenty-one episodes are twenty-one episodes, and you will broadcast whatever the producer cuts.

This purchase condition is almost harsh for the strong TV station.

But it can't stand cheap.

And what is more critical than cheap is that judging from the samples of the first eight episodes brought by Peng Xiangming's party, the selling point of the TV series is very clear, and the story is very good.

It's good, it's cheap, and it doesn't require any advertising shares.

Then, of course, you can exchange it for the TV station to relax some of the terms of the contract.

The current broadcasters, including but not limited to TV stations and video websites, often ask for the right to final cut in the contract, that is, according to the popularity of the TV series, they can wantonly wave the scissors, or cut it wantonly, and the remaining 30 episodes that have not been broadcast will be directly cut into 10 episodes and 8 episodes will be broadcast, resulting in a story with no beginning and no end, completely unable to justify itself, and losing the opportunity to accumulate word-of-mouth and exert force in the later stage, or ask for the cut shots, infinitely irrigate, and inflate the remaining ten episodes into fifteen episodes, or even twenty episodes, and earn advertising fees frantically.

This is the situation that Peng Xiangming is most afraid of.

In this regard, no matter how beautiful the other party says, he will never believe the discipline of these TV stations.

It is better to earn less, not to earn, or even lose money in the first round, but also to ensure the completion of the entire TV series.

Mariana is a new entrant in this market in terms of TV series, and it is normal that the first round of TV series will not sell for money, and Peng Xiangming is not afraid that "You from the Star" will lose money at all.

In fact, this 21-episode TV series, although it is not large, does not have too many scenes, and the actors are relatively cheap, and it is a modern urban drama, with props, sets, costumes, etc., the expenses are very small, but it still costs a total of 28 million production costs.

And although it also attracted some sponsorship, because Peng Xiangming himself did not star, An Minzhi is not a big-name director, and Qi Yuan is already the most popular and well-known one in the market, so some fashion brands that were brought in at the beginning, such as clothing, cosmetics, cars and other sponsorships, did not pay much, but most of them signed a stepped sponsorship contract.

That is, only if the TV series is popular enough, the producer can get sponsorship.

The higher the ratings and the higher the topic, the more sponsorship there will be.

So, in this regard, the clothing and cosmetics provided by the sponsors for free, of course, some of the production costs are somewhat saved, but they are also limited, and as for the actual cash sponsorship, it adds up to less than three million.

After discounting these three million, the production cost of the whole drama is still as high as more than 25 million.

One episode sells for 800,000, and twenty-one episodes are only 16.8 million, of course, not enough to return to the cost.

But Peng Xiangming still did not agree to the other party's 1.5 million episodes to package the first, second and third rounds of broadcast rights - even in this package, Southern Television Network agreed to talk about the sharing of advertising fees, no.

He wants to continue to grasp the follow-up broadcast rights in his hands.

To put it bluntly, the price of 800,000 per episode, for him, is just asking for the first round of popularity for this show, and he is counting on the second round to make money.

And the Southern Television Network looked at it here, and the packaging was also given to the advertising share, but there were still people who didn't want to, so pull it down, anyway, if you buy this drama for 800,000 yuan a episode, you will definitely not lose money.

So, after watching the sample of the eight episodes, the contract was quickly negotiated.

It must be broadcast before the Lunar New Year this year.

Looking at the whole country, among the four major cable television networks and the six major wireless television networks, Huatong Cable's actual status in the rivers and lakes must be one of the best, but the southern television network is not a dish.

Although in terms of revenue, his family is much worse than Huatong, but because of the free viewing of wireless stations, its ratings are actually very high, and because of the style over the years, the overall style of this TV network tends to be more entertaining, and it has a great influence among young people.

Everyone shook hands, Director Wang Li enthusiastically said that he wanted to invite Peng Xiangming to dinner, where did he dare to do this, Peng Xiangming said at that time that he had already booked a hotel and wanted to invite him to dinner.

Wang Li laughed, but he did not hypocritically politely say anything, nor did he refuse.

So that night, Peng Xiangming was the east, and He Huan was in charge of accompanying the guests, and chose a restaurant that was not too big, but it is said that Wang Li liked it very much, and warmly entertained him.

After he was full of wine and food, he sent Wang Li to the car, and Peng Xiangming got into He Huan's car again.

Since the beginning of the year, they met at the Great Wall Award ceremony, and in this small year, the relationship between the two people in private is quite good, in the middle, He Huan went to Yanjing many times, and Peng Xiangming even specially invited him to dinner twice - this is a very important attitude for Peng Xiangming, who has never liked to socialize.

Many variety shows on many TV networks invited Jiang Xianxian, but Peng Xiangming didn't agree, but in the end, this face was given to He Huan - the show was recorded at the end of November, but it is still broadcasting, it is very popular.

And He Huan not only helped host the premiere of "Infernal Affairs" at the beginning, but the final deal was negotiated this time, and he also had the credit for speaking in the middle.

The two of them got into the car and wanted to go to He Huan's house for tea, as soon as they got in the car and told the driver to drive, he began to praise Jiang Xianxian - in fact, after Jiang Xianxian went back, he repeatedly said that Teacher He Huan is really smart, he is very comprehensive, and he knows almost everyone in the entertainment industry, and he is very good to everyone, and even after only seeing one time, he can accurately remember people's tastes and preferences.

And now, in He Huan's mouth, Jiang Xianxian is smart, smart, and kind, a very good girl.

But here is Peng Xiangming, but he wants to thank He Huan for taking care of Jiang Xianxian during the recording of the show.

When they arrived at He Huan's house, the two of them boiled water to make tea, and chatted until the middle of the night.

In the middle of the chat, he mentioned one thing very implicitly.

During the recording of the show, Shang Jinglun, who was the actor of the urban love light comedy movie "Secretly Loved" that was released on the same day as "Infernal Affairs", came to the show to promote the movie at that time, and seemed to have a good impression of Jiang Xianxian.

Of course, Jiang Xianxian should have refused.

This kind of thing, as long as it doesn't interfere with the shooting, it is definitely impossible for anyone to interfere.

Even now, when He Huan mentions it, he has to mention it more secretly, and it is impossible to take it seriously as a big matter.

In fact, before the recording of the show ended, it should have been the period when Shang Jinglun entered the group to be a guest guest to record the show, Jiang Xianxian had already taken the initiative to talk to Peng Xiangming about it during the video chat.

She, of course, was showing loyalty.

When He Huan mentioned it, it was a friendly reminder.

He may know the actual relationship between Peng Xiangming and Jiang Xianxian, or he may not know, but when she is Peng Xiangming's artist, what does it matter?

Peng Xiangming didn't comment or ask anything, but just took a cup of tea to He Huan to express his gratitude.

In fact, the current Peng Xiangming has no worries about Jiang Xianxian.

The girl is too smart to do anything stupid when she can't do anything stupid.

When her second album is made and even released as stipulated in the contract, she may suddenly turn her face, or even leave directly as soon as the contract is full, which is normal.

But now, Peng Xiangming is sure that she will never have any trouble with herself.

That would be stupid.

As for her second album after it comes out, and even after the original contract expires, what if she has to refuse to renew her contract and insist on leaving?

Cold.

is not the emperor of the entertainment industry, let alone her husband.

As long as the contract expires, even if one party is unwilling to maintain this tacit exchange, it can end at any time.

There is no such thing as loyalty or disloyalty.

In fact, if she really wants to leave at that time, Peng Xiangming also believes that she will definitely go very peacefully, and she will never be stupid enough to do something stupid like a break.

At that time, she can regain her freedom, she doesn't want to stay, she can go anywhere, but her two most popular albums and a series of singles, which can be said to have won her all the achievements and glory in the music industry, are still in the hands of her music studio!

If she dares to tear her face, she will even have no song of her own overnight!

The songs she sings by herself that are popular must not be sung on any profit-making occasions!

Because the studio can not give permission.

How stupid do you have to be to play this kind of suicide?

At least Jiang Xianxian is as smart as that, and he will never commit this stupidity.

Even, with her ambition and her diligence, Peng Xiangming can vaguely guess that before the contract expires, she will most likely ask to take the initiative to renew the contract - follow herself, she will not lose a piece of meat, but she can continue to get high-quality works, which can make her popular all the way and make money crazy all the way, why do you have to change jobs?

If Jiang Xianxian has the so-called loyalty to himself, Peng Xiangming feels that these things are the strongest cornerstone of loyalty.
