"Mr. Wei, please drink tea!"

After saying hello, Wu Qian took Wei Xiaofan to sit down on the sofa next to him, and Zhao Pinglei and Ruan Tinglin sat on both sides.

The sofa in the director's office is not leather, but a hard cloth sofa with army green, which is not so comfortable to sit on, but at least more decent than the chair.

Don't dislike this sofa is not good, the entire Huaxia TV station, that is, this office, has sofas, and the rest are all wooden stools.

Wei Xiaofan took a sip of the brewed black tea, tasted it for a while, and said, "This is the Longjing over there in Lin'an?"

"Yes, Longjing, Longjing of Longjing Village. Wu Qian smiled, "I also like this mouthful, so my old friends over there will get me some every year." It's just that it's not March, otherwise you'll be able to drink the latest pre-rain dragon well. ”

In this year, the most important thing for people is to eat well, and concepts like what is the dragon well before the rain, the first batch of dragon wells, there is no hype at all.

But it's not something that ordinary people can drink.

Except for the best batch that is still a special supply, the rest are basically supplied to major government agencies, as the director of Huaxia TV Station, Wu Qian can naturally get some.

Wei Xiaofan was embarrassed to say that when he was in Xiangjiang, his favorite drink was a small handful of tea leaves thrown into it and brewed into a pot of cold tea, which was much more thirst-quenching than drinks in summer.

He also knows that when he returns to the mainland now, he must have a faction, and he must not behave too unstylishly, and he needs to be different from the people in the mainland, so that he can do things better.

Speaking of a little sigh, Wei Xiaofan was originally a bold and generous person, but sometimes he had to pretend to be like that, which can be regarded as a kind of helplessness in this society.

Drinking tea is not the main body today, a few people said a few words of gossip, and gradually led the topic to today's things.

Today, Huaxia TV also knows that Wei Xiaofan came for "Bao Qingtian", which has been released.

Two days ago, after the film passed the review, Zhao Pinglei and Ruan Tinglin both went to watch a few episodes of "Bao Qingtian".

removed a few units with gods and monsters in "Bao Qingtian", a total of 20 units and 160 episodes.

Although they only watched a few episodes, they were already full of praise for the various technical applications of Xiangjiang TV dramas and the vividness of the actors.

Such flexible shooting and interpretation are not at all comparable to the current mainland.

Bao Qingtian's actor is Wei Xiaofan, and the two have known this for a long time, because "Bao Qingtian" is so popular overseas, everyone is engaged in the TV industry, so naturally they must have received the news.

At that time, everyone didn't think there was anything, but now I know that there is a big difference between watching "Bao Qingtian" and not watching "Bao Qingtian".

Anyone who watched "Bao Qingtian" has all changed their senses about Wei Xiaofan, and they have become somewhat respectful and liking.

These are still artists and people in the government office system, if they are ordinary audiences, they definitely don't know how obsessed they are.

The ratings of "Bao Qingtian" are bursting, that's for sure, Zhao Pinglei and Ruan Tinglin have already reached a consensus on this issue.

"Bao Qingtian" has not only undergone strict review, but also tells stories with positive meaning, which belongs to the kind of costume drama that is very happy, which has more positive significance.

No wonder Yun Lao will praise it after watching it, even they themselves feel that there is no reason why this kind of TV series is not sought after by the whole country!

It is definitely a great honor and achievement to bring such an excellent TV series to the platform of Huaxia TV and let the people of the whole country see it.

Although "Bao Qingtian" was not made by Huaxia TV, the people and events of "Bao Qingtian" all happened in China, and the person who wrote this story, Yin Jun, has always regarded himself as a descendant of Yan and Huang, that is, his own people, so this must be the most authentic Chinese flavor.

Huaxia TV in this era, in fact, doesn't care if it's an outside TV series broadcast here, they think that Chinese people should watch something new, and Huaxia TV should also accept some trendy ideas.

That's why there are so many foreign and Hong Kong moss TV series, which are broadcast on Huaxia TV.

But after 2000, with the increase in domestic demand for entertainment and culture, as well as the increase in the ability of domestic TV dramas to produce their own TV dramas, it is inevitable that there will be some practices that tend to domestic TV dramas.

But!

There's a problem nowadays too!

That is, before Huaxia TV, it had never bought an outside commercial TV series seriously.

The previous ones were either packaged and bought TV dramas from a long time ago, and the price could almost be regarded as a free gift, or it was like Japan's friend Tokuma Yasukuai, who sent it directly and didn't charge any money.

Now the patriotic compatriots of Xiangjiang have brought over a 160-episode TV series that can be called a huge masterpiece, and the leaders from above have ordered Huaxia TV to buy it and broadcast it, which makes it difficult for them.

For this reason, Huaxia TV also specifically looked for the relationship in Xiangjiang and asked how much the production cost of the episode "Bao Qingtian" was.

He was shocked by the information that came back.

At that time, Jiayi TV Station gave Yin Jun a script fee of 3,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode, and the overall production cost, combined together, reached 20,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode!

If it is converted to RMB, it is also 6000 RMB per episode!

At this price, Kylin Satellite TV sold to Huaxia TV, and 10,000 yuan per episode is not expensive.

This is not a random guess price, Jiayi TV sold 40,000 Hong Kong dollars a episode to Treasure Island, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia were 40,000 Hong Kong dollars, even if it was sold to Singapore, a small country, it was 20,000 Hong Kong dollars a set.

Even considering that they have already sold once, is it too much for Huaguo to be so big, with such a 1.2 billion viewers, and 10,000 yuan per episode?

Definitely not too much!

So here comes the problem.

You want Huaxia TV to take 1.6 million yuan to buy the broadcast rights of a TV series, this is simply a fool's dream!

Huaxia TV is so poor that it has to tighten its belts now, where can it have so much money to buy TV series?

If the Kirin Group said that it wanted to settle the account in foreign exchange, it would force them to collectively want to jump off the building.

But you can't buy it.

This is no longer as simple as introducing a TV series, it contains a deeper and far-reaching meaning.

To put it a little bigger, it is not an exaggeration to say that whether or not "Bao Qingtian" can be broadcast smoothly on Huaxia TV is related to the future of Xiangjiang and the mainland.

This is also the reason why Huaxia TV has held several meetings, but it has not been able to get a good solution.

This is also an important reason why this time, the three directors and deputy directors went out to discuss with Wei Xiaofan together.

"Mr. Wei, to tell you the truth, we are very satisfied with the plot and shooting effect of "Bao Qingtian". Wu Qian took the lead in speaking: "Being able to broadcast it on our Huaxia TV station is a happy thing for the people of the whole country!"

"It's our pleasure. Wei Xiaofan nodded.

"To tell you the truth, the first time I saw you shouting 'Tiger Head' in the play...... I got goosebumps all over my body. Ruan Tinglin said with a smile, "I also came from studying opera, and such a Peking Opera stage effect has been moved to the TV screen, which is extraordinarily spiritual!"

"At the beginning, where did I know how to combine like this?" Wei Xiaofan said modestly, "It was Ah Jun who taught me how to behave, and I practiced it step by step." Instead of complimenting me, you should praise Ah Jun for being a genius. ”

"It's strange to say, Mr. Yin has never understood drama, right? Such a perfect combination, I really don't know how he thought of it!" Zhao Pinglei couldn't help but admire.

"I don't know, but the play seems to be engraved in his mind, and it makes me feel as if he has already seen the finished film. Wei Xiaofan said, ""Bao Qingtian" can achieve so much that everyone in the world knows about this TV series, and even now it is being replayed in many places, Ah Jun is indeed a genius!"

"Yes, Mr. Yin is a genius, there is no doubt about it. Speaking of this, even an old-fashioned person like Wu Qian bowed his head and said: "Only a genius can make such a career, compared to him, we are really ashamed of ourselves." ”

Wei Xiaofan regarded Yin Jun as his younger brother, and laughed when he heard this, very happy.

"It's just that, Mr. Wei, we are all friends, so I won't hide it. Ruan Tinglin, who has dealt with Wei Xiaofan because of "Journey to the West", said: ""Bao Qingtian" is what we expect to broadcast from top to bottom, this is a heartfelt wish, I believe that the people of the whole country hope to see such an excellent TV series, and can see the hard work of you and Mr. Yin Jun." ”

Wei Xiaofan nodded and motioned for her to continue.

Ruan Tinglin was not polite, she was a woman, so she could naturally speak without scruples: "But our Huaxia TV station is too poor, and you know that we rely on saving money everywhere to shoot TV series." Not to mention the cost of filming TV series, there is a shortage of all kinds of funds in the station, and for a while, we really can't afford to buy the copyright of "Bao Qingtian". You see...... Can you give us a little cheaper?"

Wei Xiaofan smiled and said noncommittally, "How much do you want to buy it?"

He didn't answer directly, but threw the question back.

In this way, no matter what Huaxia TV said here, he took the initiative.

Ruan Tinglin was also prepared, and said tentatively: "Look at our bid...... Bid 3,000 RMB per episode...... How?"

She was a little embarrassed to say it.

3,000 yuan is about 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is not as good as the price of 20,000 episodes from Singapore.

But Huaxia TV really has no money, even if it is 3,000 yuan, they can't take it out once, so they can only rely on installments to pay.
