Chapter 905: Seeing the Wind Makes the Rudder
Turning off the live broadcast room, Liu Yan immediately wiped the sweat on her forehead with a tissue, seeing her trembling, daring to be angry and not daring to speak, Jason couldn't help laughing.
He got up and walked in front of Liu Yan with a smile on his face, "Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner." ”
Liu Yan didn't dare to go, she didn't dare to move, she was not a narcissistic person, how could she think that Jason was really going to chase her? Liu Yan frowned, could it be that he fell in love with her just because he had heard the music she played for him? There is love at first sight in the world, and there is love at first sight.
Jason is more than a round older than Liu Yan, the roads she has walked, the salt she has eaten, the women she has soaked, and the rich life experience is unimaginable to her, and he can see the little ninety-nine in her heart at a glance.
He is really a bad taste, and he likes to see Liu Yan's tangled appearance - his little brows are wrinkled into mirror tic-tac-toe, his face is drooping, and his eyes are clear but guarded, which reminds him of a little cat raised by his grandmother when he was a child.
To be honest, at first sight, he didn't have a good impression of Liu Yan, she looked old-fashioned, taciturn, plain-faced, just a face that could be seen, there was no such vivid as the girl in the video, like an elf in the green mountains and mist, which fascinated him. Now, though, his mind has completely changed.
"Don't be afraid, this isn't a candlelit dinner for the two of us alone," Jason said slyly, "I also invited Yu Zhan, who is probably already on his way by now." ”
Eh???!!!
Liu Yan was completely stunned.
And Jason laughed.
Yu Zhan was so busy today that after he signed a cooperation agreement with Jason in the morning, he immediately convened an important meeting of all the company's middle and senior employees to deploy the next step.
The successful release of "Dream of the Late Ming Dynasty" was accompanied by too many unknown uncertainties that caught them off guard. The heads of various cinema companies across the country are about to blow up Yu Zhan's mobile phone, and if they can't get through to Yu Zhan, they will hit the Tao family's brothers and sisters, Tao Zhiwei has spent all the time in the past two days on the side of Galaxy Film and Television, and he can't even take care of his family's main business.
Tao Zhiwei also has an account in his heart, he is now the same as Yu Zhan, he is very short of money, and he is anxious to get the funds back. He invested in Galaxy Film and Television compared to Zhan Shao, but the money he invested in Huaguang Cinema back then was three times that of Yu Zhan, and he was the major shareholder of Huaguang Cinema. According to the current box office trend of "Dream of the Late Ming Dynasty", it is very likely to win the box office crown of 5 billion, and it is optimistically estimated that the Tao brothers and sisters can share at least 1 billion dividends. With such a high return on investment, how can Tao Zhiwei not pay attention to it?!
Tao Hejin understood his son and personally went out to preside over the relevant work of Jintao Group, so that Tao Zhiwei was in charge of the work of Galaxy Film and Television with peace of mind. Yu Zhan and Tao Zhiwei wanted to take advantage of the popularity of "Dream of the Late Ming Dynasty" to push "Youth Plan" up and sell it at a good price. Usually, after a TV series is produced, the producer will sell it to multiple TV stations at the same time at the price of each episode.
Tao Zhiyao was previously responsible for contacting the TV station, went on a business trip to several first- and second-tier cities, and spent money to invite the person in charge of the local TV station to dinner, she had a sincere attitude, there was no rich second generation shelf at all, and her posture was very low, but the final quotations given by these TV stations were very low, about 300,000 to 500,000 per episode, and "To Beauty" is said to have sold at a high price of 2 million per episode.
The reason for such a huge difference lies in two points, the first reason, in addition to the female No. 2 Yang Huayue in "Youth Plan", and Wang Xiangqin and Jiang Lin, who made guest appearances, the other main actors are all newcomers, the newcomers' salaries are very small, and the production cost of the corresponding dramas is also low, not to mention that the director is still the little-known Ye Ziliang, and he made a lot of noise to let some netizens participate in it, these regular TV stations will think that this drama is relatively low, like a shoddy online drama, even if they have a license for a weekly drama, they are not willing to spend more money on it.
Comparatively speaking, "To Beauty", which is also a weekly drama, is much more reliable, and director Cai Honglong has several previous works with a good reputation, which can prove his strength; the heroine Feng Qingyu is a well-known first-line actress, and she makes a TV series, and her salary for one episode is 700,000! This is a well-known quotation in the industry. She dares to quote such a high price, because the film and television dramas she starred in are very popular, and there are always some audiences who don't mind her bad acting skills and can be silly when they see beautiful women, Feng Qingyu is equivalent to the guarantee of ratings. Moreover, the female No. 2 Ji Qingqing has a strong background, and there is no need for Ji Qiansong to go out in person, the person in charge of the TV station took the initiative to send it up, wanting to take the opportunity to buy a TV series to tie up with the big guy.
The second reason is that in the vlog video of "Home for the Spring Festival" filmed by Hong Kong singer Lu Yuanning in "Little Ladies", he bluntly confided in the shady scenes of the two TV stations in terms of entertainment variety shows, one of the two TV stations is in the capital and the other is in the field, both of which are among the top two well-known TV stations in China and are the leading bosses in the industry. These two TV stations not only blocked Lu Yuanning, but also blocked Xiao Keer and the Xinchen Record Company behind her, and Liu Yan and the "little sisters" are of course also on the blacklist. So Tao Zhiyao didn't even think about selling "Youth Plan" to them.
However, these two TV stations were not willing to give up, and secretly contacted other TV stations, and other TV stations also knew that after Lu Yuanning blew up the shady program, the news was on the hot search list for a few days, which seriously undermined the unspoken rules of the TV entertainment industry, and caused them to be afraid of being exposed again when they planned a new variety show and then engaged in shady scenes, for fear of being exposed again. In order to retaliate against their self-righteousness and disobedience to the rules, these TV stations colluded to lower prices! This is the real reason for the low price of "Youth Project" episodes.
For this matter, Tao Zhiyao has always felt bad in her heart, she is under a lot of pressure, and she feels that she has not been able to complete her work tasks. Those TV stations are too deceitful, but there is no way, there are only a few large TV stations in China, they are in a monopoly position, their prices are low, and the prices of other small TV stations are even more miserable. If it is 500,000 yuan per episode, at least it can return to its original cost, and it can make a few million, which is better than losing money.
The TV drama market is dead and cannot change the status quo, so Yu Zhan asked Tao Zhiyao to stabilize first, wait for the release of "Dream of the Late Ming Dynasty", and then sign a contract with the TV station after waiting for the situation.
Looking at it now, Yu Zhan's decision was too wise and martial. The person in charge of the TV station who looked down on "Youth Plan" before called Tao Zhiyao in turn and asked her if the TV series had been sold, and the last offer was just a joke;
Tao Zhiyao thought in her heart, she has seen the ability of these TV stations to see the wind and rudder.
