Chapter 43: An Olive Branch from Home
"All refused?"
When he learned the news, Su An was a little surprised.
Although he knows that it may not be easy, and there will be some twists and turns, it is not that the family is not interested, right?
I heard Xiao Cheng say that there was not even a family that entered the bargaining process.
"Did they watch the TV series?" Su An looked at Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng shook his head: "There is no answer to this, just that it does not meet the requirements of their TV station, let's find another partner." ”
Su An frowned and said, "In this case, no one has watched the TV series, otherwise at least one will come to ask." ”
"After thinking about it, I think it should be the case, but what makes me even more puzzled is why no one wants to spend ten minutes reading the beginning?" Xiao Cheng's tone was full of incredulity.
Su An knew that she still didn't know much about some industry insiders, so she explained: "It is estimated that it is because I saw that the director was me, and the reason why we deliberately marked the 'Xianxia' logo, breaking the stereotype and getting in touch with new things is always something that few people can do." ”
The director's fame and the type of TV series have always been very important influencing factors, if Su An's name is changed to Zhang Guohua, the treatment will definitely be different.
But Su An is not willing to continue to go around in the name of a teacher, on the one hand, because of some kind of 'adult hypocrisy', and on the other hand, he has confidence in the quality of the drama and believes that it will not be buried.
If it is completely a relationship of interest and utilization, of course he will not hesitate to use his name, but he respects Mr. Zhang Guohua from the heart, so he is unwilling to do this.
Su An looked at the list of rejections again and saw that the Dolphin Terrace was also inside.
This is the TV station in his hometown, and it adheres to the development strategy of 'drama in the world', standing up as a TV series, and the ratings are extremely strong in 05 at this time, second only to Mango TV in satellite TV, even if it is regarded as a central station, it can also rank in the top ten.
It is also the only two channels in the top 10 in satellite TV.
Mango Channel and Dolphin Channel are his first choice, compared to Mango Channel, where variety shows and TV series go hand in hand, he originally focused more on dolphins, but he didn't expect that both of them would not give him the slightest chance.
Of course, no matter how you say it, it's the TV station in your hometown, and the feeling in your heart will be a little different.
But Su An doesn't think about children after all, nothing is as important as the ratings, although it is divided into the first brother and the second brother of the satellite TV station ratings, it does not mean that the ratings of the two are about the same, and the difference is far away-
Mango Terrace is 2.8 per cent, while Dolphin Terrace is 1.5 per cent.
Nearly double the gap!
The key is not the most important thing, Su An clearly remembers that in the 05 years of the last life, this gap widened to 3.4%: 1.3%, and Mango TV entered the top three in the overall ranking shockingly, which is simply unbeatable in the satellite TV station.
As for why this is happening... The first is the introduction of the drama "Da Chang Jin" by Mango Channel, and the second is the launch of the strongest talent show "2005 Super Girl" in Chinese history...
Forget it, that's all a matter of the previous life, don't think about it.
As long as you know, Mango Terrace is indeed strong.
As a native of Anhui Province, Su An certainly wants to see his hometown TV station continue to be strong, but he also knows that this is impossible.
Although Dolphin Channel's development strategy based on TV dramas is right, he is quite optimistic, but the key is that Dolphin Station itself does not have the ability to produce high-quality TV series, and the further it goes, the more it is left behind, and after more than ten years, it has fallen to the point of a second-rate TV station, which can't help but make him choke!
Naturally, there would be thoughts in my heart, such as 'Dolphin Terrace, you missed a big development opportunity', but Su An didn't choose to turn this discomfort into resentment in the end, after all, Dolphin was not the only one who refused.
As for not looking at the sake of the people in my hometown... He didn't specifically mark his place of origin after his name, which can't be counted.
"Have you contacted any other TV stations?"
Su An was talking about the third-tier satellite TV at this time, and since the top few companies have refused, they can only settle for the second.
However, these third-echelon satellite TVs, not to mention the low ratings, the more important thing is their bidding... Not high.
This is the most important thing, the price of the first round of broadcast rights is the main source of income for the filming party of the TV series, according to Su An's understanding of these TV stations, even if he is optimistic about Xianjian, it is estimated that it will only be 20~300,000 episodes at most.
The mango platform and the dolphin platform can produce 40~600,000.
During this period, the difference is not doubled, excluding the cost and taxes to be paid, the net profit is directly two or three times worse!
As a last resort, Su An really didn't want to accept it.
As for the second round of playback rights... Even if you can sell more, it is not comparable with the right to play a round.
"Yes, but..."Xiao Cheng said this, a little reluctant to speak.
Su An knew the result when he saw this, and while his heart sank, he tried to keep calm and said, "Let's just say it, I can still bear this." ”
"Well, then I'll say it. Xiao Cheng nodded: "After these TV stations saw that our TV series was rejected by those seven, they didn't even have any interest in watching it." ”
At the moment, the situation is very serious.
Su An pursed his lips and thought for a while, and finally made a decision.
"Prepare, tomorrow you and I will come with you, one TV station after another, and at least convince one to try out our TV series. ”
In fact, this is the normal practice of a rookie director, Su An still had a kind of TV series that I am very powerful before, after all, it is a drama like Fairy Sword, and I must have the idea that others will recognize the goods at a glance, but at this time, I found out that the fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, so I can only abandon the self-satisfaction that I shouldn't have in the dark, and lower my posture to ask for help.
Xiao Cheng was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily.
Seeing this, Su An smiled and comforted: "It's not your fault, it's still that my name is not loud enough." ”
Xiao Chengqiang smiled, his expression was not very good-looking.
At this moment, suddenly, the mobile phone rang, it was Xiao Cheng's phone.
Xiao Cheng looked at Su An.
Su An nodded, jokingly: "Take it, maybe which TV station has watched our drama?"
Xiao Cheng couldn't help it, and then took out his mobile phone to connect.
"Hello, I'm Xiao Cheng of Fuyao Company, what's the matter?"
"Hello Manager Xiao, I'm Pang Jianguo from Anhui Provincial Film and Television Channel, your company has a TV series called "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", right? I said straight to the point, I am very interested in this drama and want to talk to you. ”
Xiao Cheng was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Su An opposite.
Su An's expression was also a little strange, the function of the mobile phone was not perfect in these years, and in terms of sound, even if he didn't turn on the speakerphone and was a distance away, he could hear it more clearly, so he heard the content of the phone, and then there was an accident, and his mouth was opened?
