Chapter 203: I've never eaten this

Li Qian rarely lit a cigar.

After receiving the news, a high-level member of Minghu Culture, including Jin Han, heard Li Qian say the meaning of Huaxia TV, and couldn't help but fry the pot at that time.

Qi Jie couldn't help but say: "This is too tricky, right? I know how much this drama costs, and I also know the level of this drama, the level of the picture, the level of special effects, and even they can't do it themselves, so they only give us a price that is destined to make us lose money?

Zou Wenhuai sneered and said: "The cost we report, it is impossible for people to believe it all, they must think that we are exaggerating, besides, it is Huaxia TV, golden thick legs!"

After a pause, he smiled at Qi Jie and said: "You just understand it like this, think about it, how many singers, as long as you agree to sign and praise them, they would rather sign a deed of sale with you without hesitation...... Do you understand?"

Qi Jie couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this.

Everyone knows the status of Huaxia TV, and to tell the truth, when Li Qian's TV series is finally completed, all of their high-level executives really hope that this drama can be broadcast on Huaxia TV. But knowing that the matter really fell on him, but no one was willing to be slaughtered like this!

Everyone was still complaining, Li Qian suddenly remembered, and smiled and said the preferential treatment that Feng Yumin had promised, Jin Han grinned and crossed Erlang's legs, "Don't mind, my drama is only worth a few dollars, how much is your drama worth? Good guy, it's beautiful, and you have to give it to the bottom, even if he gives us all the shooting costs, what about it? Your TV series will have a net loss of fifteen million!"

Li Qian turned his head to look at Han Shunzhang and asked with a smile, "Old Han, what do you think?"

Han Shunzhang was not qualified to participate in this level of conversation, but he was on Li Qian's list, and he not only participated in the company's previous two productions, but Li Qian was also ready to reuse him more in the future, so at this level of meeting, Li Qian asked people to call him and call him over. It's just that his temperament, even if he comes, he hardly speaks, just listens to everyone, and he looks like he's thinking.

At this time, he was named by Li Qian, but he was not in a hurry, thought about it, and then said: "Doing business, asking for a price all over the sky, and paying back the money on the ground, it has never been wishful thinking, I think, even if Huaxia Taiwan is overbearing, as long as they are optimistic about this drama and fall in love, they must still have the intention of buying, then, I think this price, it is not a fixed price, you can talk about it again!"

Li Qian pursed his lips and took a puff of his cigar.

To tell the truth, his opinion is very pertinent, and it is very different from what Li Qian is thinking in his heart.

But at this time, Zou Wenhuai said: "That being said, the price can still be discussed, but this 20 million newspaper is equivalent to drawing the line down, and it is not impossible for you to go up, but how much it goes up, it is all the face I give you!"

Speaking of this, he sneered disdainfully and said, "I'll leave it here, everyone, two million! Don't care what you say, they will add two million to you after they reach the sky! Moreover, there will be a lot of requirements waiting for you!"

Qi Jie looked at him and asked, "Then, Lao Zou, what do you mean?"

Zou Wenhuai heard that he was about to speak, but he stopped again, and glared at him, "Hey, I said what's the matter with you? Seeing Qian calling me Lao Zou, they all call me Lao Zou, right? I'm the artist director, can I call Mr. Zou?"

Qi Jie smiled, "Okay, Mr. Zou, you ...... Let's see what to do?"

Zou Wenhuai's anger was smoothed out, he thought about it, and said: "Call me to say, now is not the previous cable era, although the cable network is still very powerful, but the real pull of the audience is definitely the satellite signal! We have so many provincial stations in the country, but they are all satellite TV, theoretically speaking, although it is not as good as Huaxia TV, but the audience coverage is also facing the whole country." With so many choices, who can't we choose, why do we have to hang ourselves on the tree of Huaxia Terrace?"

Qi Jie couldn't help but retort when she heard this, "You can't say that! It's the era of satellite TV, but the problem is, I also specially asked someone to make a statistical report before, and I should have sent it to you in the office a few days ago...... Okay, I know, you definitely haven't watched it, that's why I don't call you Mr. Zou! The report tells us very clearly that even the relatively strong provincial stations, such as Shandong Satellite TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV, still have a huge gap with Huaxia TV! Not to mention those TV stations that are recognized as being more conservative in their programs and buying films, such as Hunan TV and Liaoning TV. So, the question is, even if we find another buyer and sell it to which provincial TV station, after the broadcast, can we get the desired effect?"

After a pause, she emphatically said: "This drama is our company's first work in film and television, and everyone knows that we are going to do it in the direction of making it a word-of-mouth! If the ratings and influence are not satisfactory, it will directly affect other operations in the next step! By that time, the loss will even be more than 10 million?"

Zou Wenhuai smiled when he heard this, and said: "I don't think so, first of all, I think we have to sort out a concept, that is, how to be considered fire! What kind of fire is the fire we expect to want!"

After a pause, he said: "If you get Huaxia TV, you may be given a rating of 20, of course it is very popular, and if you go to other local stations, you may only be able to give you 10 points, but that is also considered popular, for local stations, there is a TV series, which can actually get 10 points of ratings on provincial satellite TV, that is amazing, two rounds, three rounds, it will sell well immediately!"

"In this way, it may not be as popular as in Huaxia TV, it will be more shocking and influential, but even if you get a 10 on the provincial station, our Minghu culture, and Li Qian's identity as a director, even if you are registered on so many provincial TV stations across the country, our works will be labeled with 10 ratings in the future!"

"Besides, Qian's director's filming has long been known to the world, and I don't know how many of his fans are waiting for this film! This is invisibly a big publicity point, just with Qian's current popularity, as long as he publicizes it well and raises the ratings by a few points, it should not be a big problem...... Qian, you said I was right, right?"

Li Qian smiled, didn't nod, and didn't shake his head.

He listened to Qi Jie and Zou Wenhuai arguing for so much, but he didn't say a word, just smoking a cigar there slowly, and at this time, he noticed that Xie Mingyuan hadn't spoken much, but looked at him, "Mr. Xie, do you also have an opinion?"

Xie Mingyuan smiled, prepared the wording, and then said: "This TV series, we have watched the first dozen episodes together, I don't know what others think, I personally like it very much, and I think that our domestic audience should also like it." Moreover, I have an opinion, I don't know if it's right or not, say it, we can discuss it. I think that maybe we can find out, inquire in many ways, and look at the films that Huaxia TV has bought in recent years, and give an approximate price. What is the approximate price of the TV series they spent their own money to shoot. ”

As soon as he said this, many people in the room were dazzled at the same time.

Jin Han was the most exaggerated, and slapped his thigh directly, "That's right!

Qi Jie also said thoughtfully: "What Mr. Xie means is that in fact, spending 20 million to buy a TV series is already a huge investment, even for Huaxia TV, right? Although 20 million is not enough for our TV series, it is not enough to pay for this TV series, and it is to be compensated, but in fact, for Huaxia TV, it is already a rare big deal! And for them, since they are willing to spend so much money to buy a film, it just shows that their prospects for this film ...... Very optimistic!"

Xie Mingyuan smiled and nodded, "That's right, I think it should be like this!"

After a pause, he said: "I have carefully read the documents that Mr. Qi sent him a few days ago. After watching it, I was not sure, so I called a few old friends in the film and television industry to inquire, so, the data may not be accurate, but it should be very different, at least I know that Huaxia TV shoots by itself, and the TV series they buy externally, there is only one "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with a single cost of 1 million or more per episode, and that mainly spends money on the construction of film and television bases, and what is really spent on the shooting itself, in fact, it is said that there are only 40 or 50 million, and it is calculated to be a single episode, that is, about 500,000. ”

"So, now, they have quoted a price of 20 million for a 40-episode TV series, which is equivalent to directly admitting that this TV series is worth at least one episode of 500,000!"

Hearing this, even a layman such as Lu Ming understood it completely at once, and even he couldn't help but say: "Romance of the Three Kingdoms...... I think I've heard someone say that its highest ratings seem to have passed 60%?"

Zou Wenhuai looked even more confident, and said with a smile: "Sixty percent? Lao Lu, you are too underestimated of the Three Kingdoms! That is the second place in our domestic ratings list over the years! Second only to 95% of "Journey to the West" in the early 80s of that year!"

After a pause, he smiled: "Of course, in that era, even the provincial station was not very formal, and most of the people in China watched Huaxia TV through cable, so it is not uncommon for its ratings to be as high as that." However, what time is it now, so many TV stations, all kinds of programs are blooming, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" As far as I know, the highest figure is 73% of the country! Even if there is a bit of moisture here, Huaxia TV bragged about itself, but according to Lao Lu, 60%, didn't run away? What does this mean, this shows that the people who can call the shots on Huaxia TV think that our "Legend of the New White Lady" is another "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

Speaking of this in a hurry, even Zou Wenhuai himself was taken aback by this remark.

Obediently, another "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? This is a bit ...... The drama "The Legend of the New White Lady", it should be said that after watching it, even he thought it was good and very good. The story is exciting, the characters are expressive, and the heroine is beautiful, of course, the picture, special effects, or something, not to mention, it is definitely the top level of the current domestic TV series!

But...... Can it reach the level of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

You must know that in the past ten years, it has been the first domestic TV series! Not only the ratings are the first, but the word of mouth is the absolute first!

This is really not an analysis and I don't know, one analysis and one hop. It turns out that the relevant leaders of Huaxia TV who made the decision are actually so optimistic about this TV series?

At this moment, when Zou Wenhuai said this, in fact, almost everyone in the office was taken aback by his words, and at this moment, of course, more than one person had similar thoughts in his head.

Then, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at Li Qian.

In that look, there was some surprise, some shock, and an indescribable complex meaning, as if everyone was saying in their hearts one after another-No, you are good at writing songs, we all admit that there is no one to compare, but now, you can be so good at making a TV series? so good that the big leaders of Huaxia TV have given this level of evaluation?

It should be said that before this, even if they had watched the first half of this TV series in person, Qi Jie, Xie Mingyuan, Zou Wenhuai and others were not professional in film and television, and they could feel that this film was made well and good-looking, but no one could say how good it was, so in fact, even if they had watched the film, they also voted in favor of Li Qian's film and television plan, but in fact, from this TV series to the follow-up film and television shooting plan, they were not too confident in their hearts.

And to be honest, even people like Han Shunzhang and Jin Han, who personally participated in the filming process, will have strong confidence in this drama, believing that this drama has achieved the industry's best level in all aspects. But in their place, they don't have much confidence in their hearts about whether this drama will be popular, how far it will live, and what kind of evaluation the domestic audience will give to such a costume mythological romance drama.

Because in this world, there are no examples of films with good stories, good actors, good pictures, and good films everywhere, but they end up hitting the streets, and there are never one or two! Needless to say, at least Jin Han feels that he has put a lot of effort into each of his films, and the result is ...... Without exception, he almost had no face to see!

Therefore, insiders think it's good, good-looking, laymen think it's very good, and it's very successful, but in fact, whether it's insiders or laymen, they are very worried in their hearts, and they can't judge what kind of result this TV series will be when it meets the audience after it is filmed.

has the bottom in his heart, from beginning to end, Li Qian is the only one.

He clearly knows the powerful charm of this TV series that has been on the air for 20 years, and he also knows how this TV series has been named an absolute classic.

Especially, when he finished editing, he went back to look at his work over and over again, when the special effects were done, he looked back again and again, and when the opening and ending credits and subtitles were encapsulated, he looked back again with great interest...... Seeing the expressive performance, seeing the ups and downs of every plot he handled, seeing the exquisite and delicate pictures, and the special effects that cost a lot of money, even if it takes another ten or twenty years, he will not feel outdated, and the confidence in his heart is even more powerful beyond words.

Therefore, for him, whether anyone will watch this drama after it is broadcast, whether anyone will like it, what the ratings will be, and what the word-of-mouth will be, it is no longer a problem for him to consider. Even, whether you earn money, lose money, or how much you earn and how much you lose, in fact, has long become less important.

The only thing he needs to think about is: like in another time and space, after entering the era of satellite TV, will the situation of provincial TV stations across the country rising one after another and challenging national TV stations?

And after his observations in recent years, as well as his recent reflections, he thinks: Yes!

The most important thing is that Huaxia TV is the only national TV station in China after all, no matter how challenging the provincial station below, its status is still protected by the state from the policy, so, as he thought before, I cost 35 million, I will lose 5 million, and sell 30 million to you, I will endure it. After all, China has always been a humane society, and the powerful resources in the hands of Huaxia TV are indeed willing to sacrifice so little bit of interests. Not to mention anything else, if you can make a TV series in the future, even if you can borrow a few more people from the TV drama production center of Huaxia TV to save face, it will be a huge benefit.

However, that doesn't mean he's willing to lie on the ground and let others rub it flat.

Especially when he knows exactly what kind of TV series he is holding in his hand.

…………

In Li Qian's office, everyone looked at him.

Li Qian took another puff of his cigar, then slowly exhaled it, and then said: "Before I went, I talked to Mr. Qi about this, and I said at that time that as long as they can let me pay less, I will admit it." ”

After a pause, he smiled and said, "But, maybe the leaders in the station also feel this way, they feel that I need to use Huaxia TV to become popular!" ......he smiled, shook his head, then turned around and put down the cigar and let it go out naturally, and then continued: "But, I'm a person, I've never eaten this set!"

Speaking of this, he straightened up and said: "I've been listening to everyone's discussion just now, and I'm very happy, no matter what angle it is, what reason it passes, in short, you guys are more and more recognized by me and the drama I made! So, what I'm going to do next, I hope everyone can work together to support me!"

In the office, no one said a word, everyone looked at him.

Li Qian said with a smile on his face: "At the beginning, I created the Five Elements and Wusu, and Hua Ge thought that it would be the same with me and without me, so I would let them know that it was very different with me and without me! And if I picked it up, I would have to beat her down again with one hand! Now, Huaxia Taiwan has decided that I can't do without them, and I can't play without them, but I'm just going to stop playing with them! I'm going to find a provincial Taiwan to cooperate! Because whether it is before, now, or in the future, I am always full of confidence in my works!"

"So, I'm not afraid of anyone! Next, I just want them to know that with them and without them, I, or me, "The Legend of the New White Lady" will always be "The Legend of the New White Lady"! No matter which Huaxia station or which provincial station it is, this drama will be just as popular! Moreover, it is a big fire!"
