Chapter 112: Can't be sold
A TV series can only truly enter the market after multiple layers of review such as script approval and filing, shooting permission, and distribution license.
And after that, in the face of the fierce battle of oversupply in the market, there are really not many TV series that can really survive.
In the past year, more than 200 TV series have been filmed, and almost every other day, a TV series has been completed!
But there are less than 100 TV series that have the opportunity to appear on the TV screen, which means that TV dramas are facing a serious problem of overcapacity.
Nearly half of the TV series can only be pressed at the bottom of the library when they are filmed, and they can't see the light of day!
Therefore, the distribution of a TV series is the top priority, Nie Zhen of Chufeng Film and Television Company, Zeng Jiaping of Donglin Media Group, and Liao Weixiong of Grid Entertainment Company also went to major TV stations to promote sales together with Wu Huai.
It is said that they are working together, and their more important purpose is to supervise Wu Huai's standardized operation and prevent any behind-the-scenes trouble.
It's just that more than a dozen TV stations ran down, but they didn't find it, but their hearts were a lot colder - the distribution of "Langya Bang" was not smooth.
The central station didn't think about it, there were many restrictions, and the money given was still small.
The scope of the city station is too small to consider, so the only thing left is the provincial station.
The four provincial stations, which are the primary distribution market, were still a little interested in this TV series directed by Jiang Shouyuan, but when they learned that the protagonist was an unknown Wu Huai, they immediately rejected Wu Huai's application.
They don't even want to spare time for reviewing.
There are so many film and television works delivered, and they have limited time, so they naturally have to be selected, and they can't be blamed.
Hearing this news, Nie Zhen's three faces darkened, and they became more and more dissatisfied with Wu Huai in their hearts.
They planned to replace Wu Huai as the protagonist at the beginning, but they could only give up under Wu Huai's extremely tough attitude.
Now it seems that it was really self-reaping, and it was greatly affected when it was released.
They also ran five or six provincial stations in the secondary market, and under the soft and hard grinding of Wu Huai and others, the film purchasing directors of the three TV stations of Sichuan-Shu Station, Guanggui Station, and Heyu Station agreed to review the film.
Their evaluation of this TV series is good, but the price given is not high, each episode does not exceed 700,000, and the total price is not even 38 million!
Although this is only the price of the first round of broadcast rights, it is almost a sure thing to lose money on selling at this price!
After a month of running, Wu Huai and Nie Zhen were a little emaciated.
When several people were eating together, Wu Huai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your hard work, follow me like this......"
"It's not hard work, it's just work!" Nie Zhen of Chufeng Film and Television Company said coldly.
"It's this project that lost money, and so much effort and thought was wasted. Zeng Jiaping of Donglin Media Group also said quietly, and there were many dissatisfactions between words.
"It's better to sell "Langya Bang" as soon as possible, our company has a small stall and great economic pressure. Liao Weixiong of Grid Entertainment Company waved his hand and said irritably.
"It's me who has caused you ......" Wu Huai sighed: "I didn't expect the TV drama market to be so risky." ”
"What's the point of talking about this now," Nie Zhen snorted and said, "What was your attitude towards letting you change the lead actor before?"
Zeng Jiaping also regretted it at this time, why did he vote for this TV series blindly, it's too late to say anything now!
Everyone was silent for a long time, and Zeng Jiaping said softly: "Either I'll go to Binghe Imaging and ask, they may be able to watch the ...... of "Langya Bang"."
Glacier Imaging is a powerful film and television company, which also acquires film and television works for operation and distribution, and has a good relationship with many TV stations.
It's just that in this way, even if the glacier image is good, the buyout price will not be too high.
Zeng Jiaping's proposal was only because he was familiar with a high-level executive of Binghe Imaging, and if he operated it, their company would be able to make up for some of the losses!
Before Nie Zhen and Liao Weixiong could speak, Wu Huai flatly refused: "I don't agree, there are still many TV stations that haven't asked yet!"
Zeng Jiaping said disdainfully: "What's the difference if you ask? It's not all like this!"
Nie Zhen glanced at Zeng Jiaping, hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's learn more about a few TV stations......
"It's not a bit of time. Liao Weixiong nodded in response, he also couldn't trust Zeng Jiaping.
Seeing that none of the three of them agreed, Zeng Jiaping just snorted coldly and stopped mentioning this matter.
In the next period of time, Wu Huai and Nie Zhen took the recording disc of "Langya Bang" and went to more than a dozen TV stations successively.
Naturally, there are a lot of closed-door soups, such as Guangdong, Guangtai, and Lushantai, which have never lacked film sources.
But with the joint efforts of several people, there are still a few TV stations that have expressed interest!
Those TV stations that give low prices naturally don't need to be considered.
What made them excited was that there were really two TV stations that gave them the price they wanted.
One is Shanghai TV, and they are willing to pay one million per episode, for a total of fifty-six episodes, which is 56 million!
If they sell the secondary broadcast rights and network broadcast rights in the later stage, they will most likely be able to recover the cost, or even make a small profit.
"Sell it, it's hard to come across such a price!" Nie Zhen said with some excitement.
"What are you hesitating about, this price is already very good, and it is basically impossible to have a TV station that exceeds this price!" Liao Weixiong was also a little anxious.
Originally, he was ready to lose money, but he didn't expect to be able to make a small profit, he was already very satisfied!
Even Zeng Jiaping, who originally wanted to make some small moves to sell to Binghe Impression, agreed to sell the TV series to Shanghai TV.
Ma Kangshi, the film purchasing director of Shanghai TV Station, also waited for Wu Huai's answer with a smile on his face.
He was also very satisfied with the TV series "Langya Bang", so he gave a high price of 56 million.
In his opinion, this matter should be a certainty.
It's just that Wu Huai's silence made Nie Zhen and the others feel uneasy—what did he want to do!
Sure enough, after waiting for more than a minute, Wu Huai looked up at Ma Kang and said with a solemn face: "I'm sorry...... I don't sell it!"
Nie Zhen and the others looked at Wu Huai with shocked expressions, and Ma Kangshi's face was also gloomy!
"Are you crazy? You don't sell it at this price, what do you want to do!" Nie Zhen secretly hated in his heart, and he couldn't wait to promise it for him.
"Mr. Wu, do you know what you're talking about?"
"Director Ma, what did he say...... He was wrong!"
