Chapter 404: Swarming

Ye Ming invested 32 million to shoot [Bright Sword], originally, according to the original contract, in fact, on such a problem, Tianchaotai paid 30 million even if he could get the first round of screening rights, after all, this is a co-produced TV series, and Tianchaotai has also made a lot of efforts, such as leveling the review script of the General Administration, if it is not for the golden signboard of Tianchaotai, it is not easy to pass the review.

But this time, Yang Fan was quite interesting and directly gave Ye Ming 32 million, which is what made Brilliant Film and Television save its capital. This is the first round of broadcasting rights of [Bright Sword], and there is a second round, as well as local satellite TV. And what made Ye Ming very happy was that Yang Fan said that it is still possible for this TV series to be broadcast on one set of Tianchao Channel, and if it can be broadcast in one set, it will definitely be the rhythm of brilliant film and television making a lot of money. At this time, after Yang Fan left satisfied, Han Shanping said with a smile: "Ye Ming, you kid, you know the trade-offs, this is quite good." In fact, in our circle, we must be greedy when we should be greedy, and when we should be greedy, we must be greedy like Grande, and when we should be generous, then we must have the pride of a good man in Liangshan. If this is broadcast in one set, the following satellite TV will probably definitely find you to spend a lot of money to buy the second round of broadcasting rights, right?"

At this time, Ye Ming was finally able to feel at ease, Huayi Brothers, Poly Huayi, Sihai Film and Television, these are all old film and television companies, at this time, Brilliant Film and Television compared with these three, it is still Xinding, and the new flower noodle company is even more with the national teacher Zhang Yimou in charge, which is not allowed to be underestimated.

Only Ye Ming's brilliant film and television, although it is rising fast. But the foundation is unstable, otherwise it would not have been banned from screening [Bright Sword] this time, and Brilliant Film and Television would not have been in trouble. What is called an old giant, not only must have funds and stars to support the façade. The key is to have a relationship. For example, Ye Ming was banned from screening a TV series, and those large and small film companies dared to withdraw their contracts with Brilliant Film and Television. This is bullying Ye Ming is a newcomer.

But if it is replaced by an old domestic giant, the interests are all intertwined, and the relationship network is quite strong, and generally will not encounter such a dilemma as Brilliant Film and Television for a period of time. This time, Ye Ming also really understood this. And if Tianchaotai says that it can screen this TV series in one set, it is a very big publicity for Brilliant Film and Television, and Brilliant Film and Television will become one of the giants of the domestic entertainment industry in the future, and it is really rich. There is a relationship, and there is a prison tycoon who has a star to support the scene. Just when the two of them were talking about what satellite TV would come to the door next, Ye Ming received a call from Ai Qiuhua, which was a very exciting call.

Ai Qiuhua said very politely: "Mr. Ye, first of all, I want to congratulate your company on turning the corner, as your partner, we very much hope to see the healthy development of Brilliant Film and Television." Ye Ming was not polite, snorted twice and said: "Warner Bros. must have some people who will be angry, thinking about how to get something different from my hands, is it the sincerity of you and cooperation? The contract said that everyone would work together to build a theater chain, and you didn't call in time for part of the cost that you should have bought. ”

As if he was saying that he didn't know anything about it, Ai Qiuhua said suspiciously: "Is it? This may be that there is some problem at the headquarters." You know, after all, this matter is a transnational cooperation, and there will be some problems in some connections, but you can rest assured, we Warner Bros. will not shirk the responsibility that we should bear. I'll report back to the board and see where something went wrong. You know, in our company, even if you buy a roll of toilet paper, you have to make a report, and some accidents are not uncommon. ”

Ye Ming complained here: "Dear Ms. Ai Qiuhua. I don't want this to happen to me, or I might have something else in mind. This is Ye Ming expressing his dissatisfaction to Ai Qiuhua. Ai Qiuhua is naturally a loser, and he can hear what such a complaint is like. Therefore. She immediately said, "Don't worry, we will handle it to your satisfaction." Other than that. After the decision of the board of directors, it is not only said that you will be invited to the United Kingdom to participate in the [Harry Potter] selection of actors, but also will give you a certain right, there are only five people in the world who have this right, dear Ye, you should cherish such an opportunity. ”

Choosing a role is a very important part, and if a movie says that the character is chosen correctly, then it is half the success on such a problem. For example, Arnold's [Devil's Terminator], Stallone's [Rambo] Pike and Hepburn's [Roman Holiday] are all classics among the classics. Choosing a good role is a great promotion for the movie. Therefore, the director who chooses the role also has a very high voice in Hollywood. The producer was able to give Ye Ming some rights, which was very surprising to him.

At that moment, Ye Ming said curiously: "Ms. Ai Qiuhua, what do you mean to say that I have the right to choose the actor of the role." Ai Qiuhua pondered for a moment before saying: "This, it's almost like this, but you also have to be within the scope of the requirements, you are one of the five members who choose the role, and your opinion will be an important reference." Ye Ming understands this very well, if he chooses an oriental little guy to perform [Harry Potter], it will be too nonsense. Warner Bros. would not have failed to think of this. At such a time, Ye Ming finally nodded and said: "If this is the case, then good, happy cooperation, I hope to have a good start in the UK." ”

Ms. Ai Qiuhua breathed a long sigh of relief at this time, this matter is definitely not so easy to deal with, in such a situation, no matter what it is, at this time, the kind of business wisdom that Ye Ming's real expression came out made Wood and himself feel a little tricky, and Wood even said that he was deflated in the hands of this young man twice. What kind of young man would it be to be able to sign a super gold mine like [Harry Potter] in advance.

At this time, Ai Qiuhua had to say that he began to look forward to what would happen in Britain in the near future. To entertain Harry Potter's influence in the West is slowly expanding, and it is even said that it will form a storm, but who knows. The owner of this storm is actually a yellow-skinned and black-eyed Chinese man in the far east. And Ye Ming also said with a happy face: "Now, I finally said that I have seized an opportunity, and Ms. Ai Qiuhua, the president of Warner Bros. Asia, invited me to go to the United Kingdom to participate in the selection of roles for [Harry Potter]. This is something to look forward to. I want to really see how the big Hollywood giants choose actors. This may be an inspiration to my company, but it is not impossible. ”

The Western film market has always said that there is some prejudice against China, therefore, it is rare for our country's stars to go out and really participate in the work of Hollywood, Bruce Lee is really for Chinese kung fu to make a world, Cheng Long himself is also a real international superstar. Well, Chow Yun-fat and Li Lianjie, this is also an actor who can be somewhat well-known in Hollywood, but. At this time, the two of them didn't really go too far in Hollywood.

Therefore, it is rare to say that Chinese stars who have participated in the work of Western films are rare. And with the right to choose a role, this is even more surprising. Han Shanping nodded and said: "This matter is indeed worth clearing, our country's film origins, and some Hollywood conferences have always said that they have no right to speak, and this is a good start for you." Even if it's a little bit of a taste, that's the beginning of participating. ”

The country has always been thinking about how to go out, and Ye Ming's unintentional move can be regarded as a good start.

This is or Ye Ming didn't realize it, but Han Shanping saw a different beginning. This can even say that there is room for upside. Ye Ming can have such an opportunity, he should not be grateful to the country and MTV. Thanks for this v, that v or something. Even in such a situation, Han Shanping thinks that it is not impossible to say that this is not impossible to rise to a political performance project of his own.

Therefore, Han Shanping pondered for a while and said, "Ye Ming, when will you be able to leave for the UK?" Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "This, I seem to have heard them say last time, and there are still some things to prepare, maybe in the middle of next month, but the specific ones have not been decided, and I will be notified when the time comes." ”

It would have been in such a situation. In fact, Han Shanping is still worried that there is not enough time, so don't worry about it now. Therefore. He pondered for a moment before saying, "If you have an invitation like this, it is also an opportunity." It is even very helpful for us to understand the process of filming and making Western films, especially the process in the early stage. Therefore, I would like to take advantage of this invitation of yours to send people from the film studio to accompany you, so that some people from our factory will also have an opportunity to learn. Ye Ming didn't expect this, but when he heard Han Shanping say this, Ye Ming quickly thought of a term, going abroad on business, this is a good excuse. However, Han Shanping helped him very much, and under normal circumstances, he didn't ask for anything, such a thing was just a gesture for Ye Ming.

Therefore, Ye Ming nodded and said, "There is no problem with this, once I receive the invitation, I will inform you as soon as possible, and the film studio should have time to prepare." ”

The next day, all major media published the review of [Bright Sword] Tongguò, which will appear in the prime time of the TV series. This is a stone that stirs up a thousand waves. A pretty remarkable progress. What an honor it is to be able to broadcast it in prime time on Tianchao Channel. When Ye Ming received a call from Yang Fan, he realized that the above may feel that the time is not very mature, [Bright Sword] is just a tentative beginning, if it is broadcast on the TV drama channel of Tianchao Channel, it will be a test of the rumors in all aspects. Yang Fan said that he also tried his best, but the result still did not change. Ye Ming was very open-minded and said that he originally planned to broadcast it on the TV drama channel, so this news had no impact on him.

Putting down the phone, Sister Fang Fang said with some dissatisfaction: "Boss, how about you, just forget it, in such a matter, you should fight for reason, you should learn to fight for your rights." If it is said that our TV series can be broadcast in one set, it will definitely be a big hit. At that time, the popularity of our company will skyrocket. ”

Hearing that the company's [Bright Sword] was banned from being released, in fact, Sister Fang Fang also had a lot of pressure, in that situation. The gang of cameramen and makeup who left together in embarrassment left together, which was a big blow to Brilliant Film and Television.

And Sister Fang Fang was actually under considerable pressure at this time. And now. Finally, it was time to see the moon, so Sister Fang Fang vented her dissatisfaction a little, and Ye Ming thought it was a very normal thing. At this time, Ye Ming patiently accepted and said: "The set of Tianchao TV is good, but if you think about it, our TV series could have been a big hit, if it was broadcast in one set, the whole country would be able to see it." When the time comes, we will go to satellite TV, or even say that the second and third tier cities will sell the second and third rounds of screening rights, and the price will not go up. One set of Celestial Observatory is almost seamless throughout the country. Therefore, once our TV series is on the set, the price will be a little lower in the last round of broadcast.

If it is broadcast on eight TV channels, the impact will be limited. Therefore, on such a matter, in fact, when Sister Fang heard such a calculation on this question, she immediately smiled and said, "This relationship is good." On such a problem, we want to squeeze the maximum residual value of this TV series, boss, don't worry. I know how to do it. ”

[Bright Sword] was broadcast on the TV drama channel three days later, and the ratings on the first day were 18 percent, which was a very good start, and the ratings on the second day were 20 percent, an increase of two percentage points, which is a good start. It is already said that two satellite TV stations have begun to directly contact Brilliant Film and Television to acquire the second round of broadcast rights, but because the prices offered by the two satellite TVs are relatively harsh, Ye Ming did not agree to further negotiations. And the third day. At this point, the percentage point rises to 12 percent. It's up another two percentage points. One of the results of this is that it is surprising, and it is a very big leap. If it weren't for the fact that there was a divine drama [Huanzhu Gege] suppressor in front of him, then at such a time, Ye Ming's brilliant film and television should now be open champagne to celebrate the ratings entering twenty. But because Huanzhu Gege is also starring Ye Ming, it is not good for Brilliant Film and Television to celebrate a 20% TV series now.

Do you look down on the boss to celebrate, have you ever seen the world? But the people of Brilliant Film and Television think like this, but the people of various satellite TV don't think like this. Tianchao TV has always been the media boss of the country, and the TV series he broadcasts is the weather vane, what Tianchao TV broadcasts when this happens, then what the satellite TV below will follow, it will definitely not make any mistakes. Therefore, seeing that it is actually said that it is 20% to increase the ratings of TV dramas, which is a very good start.

At this time, someone finally couldn't sit still, and someone had already come over to contact Brilliant Film and Television, not to call, but to directly send someone to contact Brilliant Film and Television to discuss the purchase of the second round of broadcasting rights. Anyway, the first round is on the TV drama channel of Tianchao Channel, and there are still many places in China where you can't directly watch the TV drama channel, so some satellite TV is talking about this [Bright Sword]. In such a situation, it can be said that this is a good start, a pretty good start. The ratings on the fourth day came out, twenty-three percent, which is a pick-up towards the classics, and the audience has also begun to mobilize their interest. It turns out that war movies can be filmed like this. The new story mode of [Bright Sword], which is a new start and a new impact for the national audience. At this point, various satellite TV stations have already said that they understand very well what this is all about.

Therefore, finally someone began to sit still, the people of the three satellite TV stations gathered in Brilliant Film and Television, and at this time it was already said that it was not a matter of talking about what price, at this time everyone understood very well that the problem of price was in the hands of Brilliant Film and Television, who made people's TV series so bullish, and it is worth looking forward to when the TV series ratings reach more than 20%. Moreover, on such a problem, at this time, with the guarantee of Tianchao TV, there is absolutely no major problem, which is very clear to all satellite TVs. Therefore, they have already said that they are ready to start preparing to be ruthlessly bloodletted by Brilliant Film and Television. At this point, they are all waiting for Ye Ming's reply.
