Chapter 493: The Lion Opens His Mouth
For these martial arts circles, writers' associations, and even some more "industry" battles, most people actually don't know. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The channels through which they receive news are very simple, that is, TV, movies, and news recommended by various online media every day, as well as the gossip in the circle of friends.
And the news that has attracted the most attention from the public recently is undoubtedly the CCTV screening of the Japanese version of "Journey to the West".
It's just that this TV series is too subversive of the rabbit's three views, even those viewers who haven't read the original book can't see anything attractive in this TV series.
In addition, the movie "Havoc in Heaven" made a lot of noise on the Internet, and as soon as some movie screenshots were forwarded and compared in the circle of friends, this dissatisfaction was even more provoked!
Three days!
In three days, the Japanese version of "Journey to the West" was broadcast to the third episode, and in these three days, the ratings of CCTV have almost dropped off a cliff!
If the plot of the first episode, the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, still gives it an "opening color", then the plot of the black bear monster in the second episode and the three apprentices in the third episode is not attractive at all.
CCTV has been in operation for decades, and it is really not the second time that it has spent a lot of money to import TV dramas from abroad, but the ratings have dropped sharply!
If there is anything that has been well received by the audience, it is that in the third episode, Miss Gao played by Sun Wukong first stood up and turned over on the ground with Zhu Bajie, and later lifted her skirt to reveal a pair of big round legs, but her appearance was also very pure and tempting, and she was quite well received in a group of evil domestic wolves.
It's just that the good times don't last long, and Bajie's pig prototype is really unappetizing, just like a pig's head that has been grilled!
And on CCTV's ratings list, the most shocking falling curve is appearing in the last few minutes of the third episode.
It was Sun Wukong who was blinded by the Yellow Wind Monster, and then ......
Then the female Tang Seng hugged him and kissed his eyes, and Wukong's eyes were fine......
Goku's eyes are good, but the audience's eyes are blind!
"I've only been recuperating for a long time! It's been a thing like this! What the hell do you want to do! Haven't you watched all of the TV series before it was introduced?!" Taijiang Chengye is almost pointing his nose and scolding!
The deputy directors below lowered their heads one by one, and they were not embarrassed to say a word.
It stands to reason that even if Jiang Chengye is a senior official, this situation will not occur, but this incident is almost the biggest CCTV screening accident in decades, in such a situation, how dare they argue for themselves at this time?
"Ouyang, tell me, what's going on!" Jiang Chengye scolded for a while, and said angrily.
What he named was Ouyang Kaixuan, the deputy director who acted as the director of the station, during the period when he left, and the Japanese version of "Journey to the West" was also introduced to CCTV under his leadership.
Ouyang Kaixuan was depressed: "I have seen the source of the film, and I thought it was a little bad at the time. But thinking that this drama can be so popular, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, Southeast Asia, and even Africa are very popular, I feel that it can be introduced, those Korean dramas over the years, which one of them doesn't feel as smelly and long as an old lady's footcloth, but the audience just likes it, and there is no way to ...... it."
Jiang Chengye's eyes widened: "In this way, I still wronged you Ouyang Taichang, right?"
Ouyang Kaixuan saved his belly of fire, and said forcibly: "This is just one reason, and on the other hand, the reason is that when I was sent to talk about the "Journey to the West" TV series with a page of books, the conditions offered by a page of books are offered! Liu Zhicai, you are the person in charge of talking about this matter at that time, you can talk about it!"
In a seat at the back, Liu Zhicai secretly scolded the other party in his heart for dragging him into the water, but he had to bite the bullet and say: "Well, at that time, a page of the book did promise us to premiere the TV series on CCTV, but I was not satisfied with the price of 500,000 yuan for an episode we proposed, I ......"
Jiang Chengye slammed the table: "500,000 yuan! Who got this price? The TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the front of the one-page book, I remember that only the rebroadcast rights are three or four hundred thousand episodes!"
Liu Zhicai whispered: "But we are a CCTV ......"
Yes, CCTV set, how many TV drama companies, are vying to get on the price level, especially in prime time, it is really a loss of money!
Moreover, taking the opportunity of the right to broadcast the TV series, Jiang Chengye knew these things, scolded for a while, and did not pursue them again.
"How does a page of the book reply?"
Liu Zhicai remembered the conversation on a page of film and television that day, and he still had a strange expression: "A page of the book said that he couldn't accept this price." I talked to him for a while, and he told me, if you want to play, just play big!"
"The premiere rights of the first three episodes of the "Journey to the West" TV series, he can give it to us for free. After three episodes, if we think that this TV series is not good, then we don't have to give him a penny, and we can interrupt the cooperation. But if we feel that we can cooperate at that time, we must ...... You have to buy it for five million for one episode, and the first three episodes have to be paid off......"
"In other words, for the thirty episodes of "Journey to the West", we either feel that the quality is not good enough and stop broadcasting three episodes for free, or buy this drama at a price of 150 million after three episodes!"
The other people present had already known about this joke before, so they didn't have much mood swings, but Jiang Chengye couldn't help but take a breath.
Five million episodes!
150 million sets!
Over the years, CCTV's favorite thing to do is to buy the copyright of Korean dramas.
Korean dramas are priced in US dollars, and the prices of TV stations and websites are also different, but generally speaking, the price is about 700,000 yuan, and the "Da Chang Jin" introduced two years ago is 800,000 yuan per episode.
However, as Korean dramas become more and more popular, their copyright fees are getting higher and higher, according to CCTV's own evaluation team, it is expected that the price of "The Heirs", which will be released in 2013, will be about 2.6 million yuan!
The other top production is also "My Love from the Stars", which was released in South Korea in 2013, and its copyright fee will reach an astonishing 4.8 million!
The number of Korean dramas with low copyright fees is high, there are more than 80 or 100 episodes at every turn, and it takes an average of 50 million to buy a Korean drama, so it seems that the 5 million episodes of "Journey to the West" proposed by Lin Mu are not very high.
But that was a Korean drama in 2013 and 2014, five or six years later, and the currency depreciation factor had to be taken into account!
"Such a price is naturally a page of the lion's mouth, no matter what, it is impossible for us to accept such a price!" (To be continued.) )
