Chapter 576: The Current Situation of TV Dramas
At this moment, Zhao Yongqi looked very puzzled, and he even doubted whether Director Li had said the wrong position of the two ways of cooperation. However, when his gaze turned to the purple leaf beside him, he saw that the shrewd female agent was nodding slightly to him.
seems to understand Zhao Yongqi's doubts, Director Li at this moment is like an elder in the family, without the slightest impatient expression, but gave Zhao Yongqi some time to think with a smile, and then explained: "Actually, each of us believes that this will be a great TV series." We can even conclude that once it is broadcast, it will cause a sensation. If not, how would we have come up with such a large amount of money?"
Listening to these words, Zhao Yongqi nodded in agreement. Director Li is right, even if he is a personal father, if he is not optimistic about this TV series, it is impossible to take out hundreds of millions of dollars to make a gamble.
"However, it is not necessarily a good script, a good TV series will become a successful work!" Director Li looked at Zhao Yongqi with deep meaning, and then said: "Do you know how many TV dramas are produced in Huaxia every year? hundreds, or even thousands! More than 90% of these TV dramas will accumulate dust in the warehouse, and even rot into slag in the end, and there is not even a chance to be really put on the small screen." Director Li's words seemed a little deep.
"......" Zhao Yongqi looked at Director Li silently, and listened more carefully at the moment.
"In fact, you should also know very well that in Huaxia, and even in any country in the world, there is a very important thing that cannot be seen or touched, but when you really want something, it will be very important, that is, connections!" Director Li continued in a deep voice: "For various reasons, there are still many high-quality TV series that have no chance to be broadcast. For example, when your TV series is filmed, although we have the right of first refusal, we may also give up the purchase for some reason, and use the same funds to buy a TV series that is far inferior to yours. You may think it's unfair, but that's the reality. ”
Zhao Yongqi slowly began to understand what Director Li wanted to say. It's just that because of this understanding, his sword eyebrows are furrowed even tighter.
"If you can have 400 million funds yourself, then I won't stop you from breaking in. After all, even if you fail, with your talent and popularity, you can still earn that money back. However, you don't have that much money yourself, you need to raise the funds for the shoot. In other words, a lot of what you'll probably want to borrow and finance. Not to mention whether you can raise it, and even if you do, what if you can't recover the money you throw away? At that time, you have to take on a huge amount of debt, and the interest to be repaid will seem astronomical. Director Li said very seriously.
"Actually, at first, I opposed your plan, and I had the same opinion as Director Li. It's just that you didn't want to start acting at the time, so I didn't say much. Ziye interjected in a deep voice: "If you really want to raise funds to shoot on your own, I will still stop you." After all, even if the auction is good, whether it can be sold or not is still two words. TV is not a movie, as long as you contact the theater chain, you can sit back and wait for the broadcast week. You may be able to sell a TV station, but it may not be broadcast right away, and it may not be broadcast in prime time for other reasons. In this way, you may not have a chance to sell again. Even recovering costs can be difficult. ”
"I see. Zhao Yongqi pondered for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "It seems that I still think everything is too simple. It's just that I don't understand one thing, if I have such a risk, then the TV station will not have this risk?"
Hearing this question, Director Li chuckled: "We are a national television station, and every flow of funds is recorded. Do you think that if we spend so much money on making a TV series, but in the end we are not willing to broadcast it in prime time on our own TV station, can we explain the past in the scene?"
After hearing these words, Zhao Yongqi really understood. Not only does he understand the problems that will be encountered when the TV series is broadcast, but more importantly, he understands that the elder in front of him is sincerely helping himself!!
Director Li's suggestion not only solves the problem of funding, but also means that it is forced to broadcast in prime time immediately after filming! Because, no matter from which angle you look at it, the TV station will want to recoup its investment as quickly as possible! For Zhao Yongqi, this will not only be able to quickly put his beloved works on the real screen, but will also have a great effect on the popularity of the TV series he starred in for the first time. This is a huge benefit for his future development that is difficult to predict.
Of course, Director Li is not a fool, and he can do this, saying that the senior management of the TV station is indeed very optimistic about this TV series, and they are very confident that they can recover their costs and even make huge profits.
Some people may think that Zhao Yongqi is too stupid to give up this huge profit to the TV station in just a few words. In fact, the TV station can promote this TV series, but what if it is replaced by Zhao Yongqi himself? Maybe even the broadcast period is far away.
This is the power gap between the individual and the group!
Zhao Yongqi is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart! At this moment, after the mention of Director Li and Zi Ye, where would he not think of the key to it. So, after a little thought, he immediately nodded in response.
Seeing that Zhao Yongqi finally understood his hard work, Director Li seemed to be in a very high mood, happily shook hands with the big boy in front of him, who was almost a grandchild, and then smiled: "Actually, don't think I'm helping for nothing." From the perspective of the public, we have judged that the second and third broadcast rights and advertising sponsorship after this TV series will definitely not lose money. Privately, both I and Lao Zhang are very optimistic about you and hope to maintain a good relationship with you. To be honest, ten years later, I really don't know if you have earned this cooperation now, or we have earned it!"
"Director Li, you are so polite. In the face of the praise, Zhao Yongqi looked a little shy, and his handsome face was slightly reddened, which made several elderly people in front of him smile even more.
"Okay, this is just a preliminary plan, as for the real cooperation plan, we can talk about it when we return home. Director Li stood up with a smile, "But I can assure you that the script is completely up to you, and the main actors can also be designated by you!"
