Chapter 942: Making a Gimmick
Jiang Xinxu's reasoning is very simple.
Assuming that their "True and False Princess" is broadcast under ordinary circumstances, the ratings reached are only about one percent, and in the second round of broadcasts, it is still chicken ribs, they still have to find relationships, and they have to go to a not very good TV station to broadcast, and the income will still not be high.
But if there is a gimmick, it may be possible to forcibly increase the ratings to 2 percent, 3 percent, or even 5 percent. Then it will become a hot commodity in the second round of broadcasts. Not only will many TV stations rush to broadcast it, but the price will definitely be higher than the first round of broadcasts.
Although Jiang Xinwei's behavior still belongs to the category of "being capricious if you have money, and having more money", and is using money to smash his reputation, it cannot be said that his method is completely ineffective: since we all believe that our TV series are good, and our boss doesn't care about money, let's try it? The loss of 24 episodes of TV series is only 4.8 million yuan at most!
There is another reason that makes Wen Nianshi tempted, that is, through this gimmick, maybe he can defeat "A Curtain of Dreams" and "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", at least it can make up for part of the gap caused by the disadvantage of the TV station's reputation, isn't it?
Of course, this kind of game of subsidizing money to TV stations can only be played by rich people like Jiang Xinwei.
However, Shu Ziyuan's mother and daughter were not ready to accept Jiang Xinwei's plan in its entirety, the two women muttered for a long time, and finally bargained with Jiang Xinwei and reached the following unanimous VAM agreement:
If the ratings are less than 3 percent, the TV crew will post 200,000 yuan per episode to the TV station that broadcasts "The True and False Princess"; if the rating is less than 6 percent, the TV crew will not take money from the TV station. If the ratings are higher than 8 percent, then for every 0.1 percent higher than 0.1 percent, the TV station will be charged 5,000 yuan more for renting TV dramas.
According to Jiang Xinwei's previous plan, the ratings must be higher than 10.1% to be recorded. According to the current plan, the rating is higher than 8.1%, and the revenue will be recorded.
And for every time the ratings are higher than 0.1 percent, they only charge 5,000 yuan, which is proposed by Jiang Xinwei, who is worried that the ratings will be too high at that time, and the TV station will not be willing to pay so much money and regret it, or will be stopped by the higher authorities. He heard Shu Ziyuan say that there are documents that stipulate that the price of each episode of a TV series should not exceed 600,000 yuan.
In the previous life, when the first part of "Huanzhu Gege" premiered, the ratings of the first episode were as high as 16.4 percent! According to the gambling agreement they finally agreed, the TV station had to pay 420,000 yuan for one episode.
If it is calculated according to 10,000 yuan, you will have to pay 840,000 yuan per episode, which greatly exceeds the pricing requirements of the superiors.
Rather than not getting it, it is better to be "generous" and increase it by 0.1 percentage point to only charge 5,000 yuan.
Moreover, the ratings of this TV series in the previous life were steadily rising, and finally reached an astonishing 62.8% rating. According to this VAM agreement, the price of each episode will be as high as a staggering price of $2.74 million!
If it is converted into 10,000 yuan, the price of each episode is as high as 5.48 million yuan, and it is impossible for domestic TV stations to pay so much!
As for whether "True and False Princess", which has changed the name of the script in this life, can create the glory of the previous life, although Jiang Xinwei does not have much bottom in his heart, he feels that the difference in quality will be some but not too big, and the ratings may not be reduced: because this TV series has been broadcast more than two years in advance, and the current entertainment programs and TV programs are not as rich as two years later, maybe the ratings will increase.
All three believe that with this gambling agreement, except for those TV stations with excellent ratings, other TV stations will definitely be willing to broadcast: not only do they not have to spend money, but they can also make money, and fools are not willing to broadcast it. If the ratings really exceed 8%, it means that the TV series is on fire, and the TV station is also on fire, and they will not be stingy with money, and they are willing to spend as much money as an episode.
On the issue of choosing which TV station to broadcast for the first round, Shu Ziyuan's mother and daughter and Jiang Xinwei have unprecedentedly the same opinion, that is, to choose Yubei TV Station. Hubei TV station is unwilling to broadcast it, and we are not willing to send it.
Sure enough, when Wen Nianshi called Yubei TV, the leader of Yubei Satellite TV in charge of content introduction was stunned and asked about the authenticity of this VAM agreement.
After the confirmation, the leader immediately agreed, and he even took the initiative to increase the rating to 8,000 yuan for every 0.1 percentage point increase after the ratings exceeded 8 percent.
But after receiving Jiang Xinwei's instructions, she did not agree, and still only asked for 5,000 yuan, and her only request was that the TV station allowed Ziyan Media Company to disclose the news to the outside world.
Of course, the TV station is eager to hype, and the executive who introduced the content has also seen the sample film of "True and False Princess". Although he wasn't sure if this TV series would become popular, he at least felt that it wasn't ugly, and it was more than a shame that it was better than ordinary TV series, so he readily agreed: "Stir it up, no problem! If you want us to cooperate, we are willing to cooperate!"
The TV series fire is good for both parties.
The problem was solved, Jiang Xinwei felt that there was no reason to stay in Wen's house, but unexpectedly, at this moment, Wen Guozhong came back.
As soon as he saw him, Wen Guozhong took his hand and dragged him to his study: "Come here! Come here! Lao Tzu came back from the unit to find you! Why did this become like this?"
There was a little anger on his face, and he also hated that iron could not be made of steel.
Jiang Xinwei asked puzzledly, "General Wen, how are you going to blackmail me?"
In his opinion, Wen Guozhong is pretending again, and he is paving the way for his next request: this person really doesn't look like a general, he is simply a treacherous businessman, a profiteer!
Wen Guozhong closed the door of his office and asked, "What is going on in Tunia? Now that they are fighting so fiercely with Libya, and the Tunian army is retreating in a hurry, why do you seem to be fine?"
When Jiang Xinwei heard this, he asked: "What does Tunia have to do with Tunia and Libya against Libya? Should I care about them?"
Wen Guozhong said angrily: "Why shouldn't you care about them? Don't you know that Tunia's army uses our weapons and equipment? If they are defeated by Libya, we will have a big deal on our faces? Originally, our country's weapons reputation is very ordinary, and now that Tunia has failed, how can we sell weapons in the future?"
Jiang Xinxu smiled and said: "Didn't you tell us that it is people, not weapons, that decide the outcome of a war? Their Tunian army is not effective in combat, so what does it have to do with our weapons? Even if they take American and Russian weapons, they will definitely not be able to defeat Libya." Who in the world doesn't know? The war in Tunia is not over yet, how can we fight Libya?"
