As the only local TV station in Shaanxi Province, Chang'an TV has always been the most effective and the highest treatment in the local cultural system.

In the current tide of vigorous development of China's market economy, although Chang'an TV Station is one level lower than Chang'an Film Studio in terms of administrative level.

But in the hearts of the leaders and employees of the TV station, in fact, they have always looked down on the film studio, which has been losing money year after year and can hardly even pay their salaries.

Since the end of the observation meeting that day, Peng Yichen and Wei Qi'an, the director of Chang'an Film Studio, have always focused on the acquisition.

But they also attach great importance to the premiere of "Red". has been actively contacting major TV stations, hoping to determine the premiere channel of "Red" as soon as possible.

Chang'an TV station contacted Wei Qi'an first.

After all, the relationship between Chang'an Film Studio and Chang'an TV is relatively close, and it is always more reliable to find "your own people" than to find "outsiders".

But what Wei Qi'an never expected was that when he called the deputy director of Chang'an TV Station in charge of purchasing films, the other party not only did not have any intention of buying the premiere rights of "Red", but ridiculed Wei Qi'an fiercely.

Saying that Chang'an Film Studio is about to be sold is not a state-owned company. So, there is no longer any relationship between the studio and the TV station.

As for the premiere rights of the TV series "Red", Chang'an TV has no interest.

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone. was so angry that Wei Qi'an almost dropped his phone.

Although Wei Qi'an was very angry, Chang'an TV didn't miss the old feelings, and he didn't have any good solutions.

In the end, I could only call Peng Yichen embarrassedly.

When Wei Qi'an told Peng Yichen the news apologetically, although Peng Yichen never thought of premiering it on a small TV station like Chang'an TV, he inevitably complained in his heart that the senior management of Chang'an TV had no eyesight.

Even if the Chang'an Film Studio was acquired by Chen Jing Film Company, the connections and influence of so many directors and actors in the studio in the film industry are still there.

No matter what the quality of the "Red" TV series is, you tear your face with the studio with which you have a good relationship so easily, aren't you afraid that after people make a comeback, they will slap you in the face?

However, thinking that no matter in the past life or this life, Chang'an TV is not ranked in the domestic satellite TV, Peng Yichen is relieved.

Chang'an TV can't look down on "Red", it can only be said that their vision is too shallow, after Chen Jing Film Company successfully acquired Chang'an Film Studio, within a few days, Mango TV and Oriental TV called Sun Yizou.

Both TV stations are willing to buy the premiere rights of "Red".

But they all asked to watch at least an entire episode of "Red," not that scattered 20-minute condensed version.

Of course, Peng Yichen will not deliberately use the condensed version to be perfunctory this time, but edited the first half of the red episode and the first half of the second episode together and sent it directly to the two TV stations.

Although the plot of this part is not the most exciting part of the entire TV series, it concentrates on the unique character and charm of the actor Xu Tian, and it also shows the tense and exciting rhythm of American dramas and the huge dramatic tension in the process of fighting wits between the pros and cons.

Sure enough, after watching this plot, the two TV stations immediately made a decision to buy the premiere rights of "Red".

However, the prices on both sides are different, Mango TV gave a price of 1.2 million per episode, and Oriental TV gave 1.8 million per episode, but they asked for the exclusive right to broadcast the first broadcast.

The price of 1.8 million per episode can already recover the investment of 80 million in the TV series, and there will be a surplus of more than 6 million.

Despite the rapid development of the Chinese TV drama market, the premiere rights of some TV dramas can even sell up to 4 million episodes.

But although Peng Yichen has a high reputation in the film industry, he is still a "newcomer" in the TV drama industry after all.

Especially this is his first time as a TV drama writer and director, and it is unknown whether the TV series will be accepted by the market or not.

Therefore, the prices given by Mango TV and Oriental TV are actually very high.

In addition, the ratings and market influence of these two TV stations are also similar, Mango TV is ahead of Oriental TV in variety shows, and Dongfang TV is ahead of Mango TV in news and talk shows.

Both TV stations hope to make a breakthrough in TV dramas, so they will pay such a high price to buy the premiere rights of "Red".

After getting the offer from the TV station, Peng Yichen, Sun Yizou, and Wei Qi'an held a small meeting to discuss which TV station to choose for the premiere.

The result they negotiated was also very simple, that is, both TV stations sold it, so that they could all broadcast it.

But Oriental TV is determined to have exclusive broadcasting rights.

In the end, Peng Yichen made a decision and sold it to Oriental TV, after all, the price of one episode of Oriental TV was enough to recover the filming cost of "Red".

But he also put forward a request, that is, the TV premiere rights can be sold to Oriental TV, but the online premiere rights Chenjing Film Company must be retained.

Oriental TV did not have much resistance to Peng Yichen's request, but only required the website to broadcast the TV series at least one day later than the TV station's broadcast time.

The reason why Oriental TV agreed so happily is because although the current traffic of Huaxia's online video website is not small, because of the network speed limit, the video clarity is not very high.

In addition, the proportion of paying users of these video sites is low, so these websites rarely buy the premiere rights of film and television dramas, and they all buy the copyrights of film and television dramas that have been broadcast for a long time at a low price, and use a registered account to watch old movies and TV series for free, attracting netizens to register and watch.

However, Peng Yichen knows that since the end of 2007, the laying of network optical cables in China has basically entered the final stage.

Since the beginning of 2008, network operators around the country have been increasing network speeds in a stepwise manner.

In other words, the "network speed limit" that was once the biggest constraint of video websites no longer exists.

More importantly, according to Sun Yizou's investigation, China's largest video website, Youdepot.com, was just acquired by the online shopping giant Forty Thieves last month.

They plan to acquire a large number of copyrights of the latest film and television dramas released and broadcast, attract users to charge monthly memberships at low prices, and obtain the qualification to watch high-definition film and television dramas online.

In turn, a large number of ordinary users will be converted into paying users.

And this point, Oriental TV obviously does not know and does not care too much.

Peng Yichen knows that if the quality of the TV series is up to the mark and the publicity is in place, the income from broadcasting TV dramas on video websites may even exceed the income from selling the premiere rights to TV stations.

That's why he insisted on making that request.

After the negotiation between the two parties, an agreement was signed for the purchase of the premiere rights of the TV series. When Chenjing Film Company handed over all the episodes of the TV series to Oriental TV, after the other party's review, there was no content that violated relevant national regulations, and the money would be transferred to the film company's account.

After the negotiation here, the video site also has a result.

In addition to the oil depot that Chen Jing Film Company has already contacted, he called and said that he was very interested in the online premiere rights of "Red", and hoped to discuss the purchase plan with Chen Jing Film Company as soon as possible.

There is also an Aiqiwei video website that has just been established by Qiandu Company, and it also took the initiative to call Sun Yizou to discuss the purchase of the premiere rights of the "Red" network.

Chang'an TV's "Abandoned Like a Shoes" "Red" has become a sweet spot in the eyes of video websites.
