Chapter 873: Can a variety show still be filmed like this?

Li Weikang is a layman, he just thinks this show is very interesting, and the audience should like it, but the director of Mango Satellite TV who was specially hired is an insider, and from the beginning of the show, he found that there are too many wonders in this show produced by 1+1 company.

"Xiao Li, you are a veteran of variety shows, tell me, how is this show?"

When Director Li heard this, he saw that it was a big head. The boss asked, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Li! How can you say this ~~~~~! This show is different from all our domestic variety shows!"

You don't need to say that!

"Be specific!"

Director Li continued: "First of all, the form of the program, now domestic variety shows are all completed in the studio, and the form of the program is similar, but this program has moved the filming venue to the outdoors, which is a big innovation." ”

Li Weikang nodded, he had just seen this: "Go on, what else!?"

Director Li continued: "There is also ~~~~"

Director Li said, turning his head to look at Song Zheng: "Mr. Song, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, how much does the production cost cost of this episode of the show!?"

Song Zheng didn't hide it, and said: "Not counting the performance cost of the MC team, the production cost alone is 5 million after one episode of the show!"

Song Zheng deliberately said a little more, he could feel that Li Weikang was very interested in the show "The Birth of the Family", if he could really reach cooperation, at that time, the interests would definitely be fought for, and if he said a little more now, when he talked about the conditions later, he could also pull it up a little higher.

Hearing Song Zheng report the specific figures, not only Director Li, but also Li Weikang was taken aback.

"So much?Xiao Song, there shouldn't be any moisture in here!?"

Song Zheng hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, don't talk nonsense in front of the Ming people, you look at the scale of this recording, and then look at the scale of the production team that flashed in the camera, I said that five million is already very implicit, and then there is the cost of post-production, excerpts from thousands of hours of footage for more than two hours, this cost alone is a lot!"

Director Li is an expert, he can see that the number reported by Song Zheng is not an exaggeration, and said: "Mr. Li! This is the second point I want to say, the picture, subtitles, and soundtrack, these are all currently domestic variety shows that cannot be compared with this show!"

At present, domestic variety shows are in the form of deferred broadcasting, and the so-called deferred broadcast is actually a simple excerpt from the footage shot by several cameras after the recording, switching, and then with simple subtitles.

How can it be like "The Birth of a Family", the combination of pictures, subtitles, and soundtracks will infinitely amplify the laughter, and when Director Li was watching it just now, these are the most amazing things, it can be seen that it is really like what Song Zheng said, the production team of this show is very large, and it is very careful during production.

"Mr. Song, why do I think this way is quite like a Korean variety show!?" As the director of Mango Satellite TV who specializes in the production of variety shows, Director Li is naturally no stranger to Korean variety shows, and soon discovered some of the similarities, especially those ingenious subtitles, which are very skillfully used in Korean variety shows.

It's just that the variety show called "Birth of a Family" produced by 1+1 is more creative, innovative, and mature than those variety shows in South Korea.

Song Zheng smiled when he heard this: "Director Li, you are right, the production team of this program was sent to South Korea's KBS TV station by our company at the beginning of the year to study, and it has just come back recently." ”

Li Weikang heard that this can be regarded as really convincing Song Zheng's ambitions, before Song Zheng told him that he wanted to produce variety shows and enter the variety show market, he only thought that Song Zheng was just talking, after all, variety shows and film and television are completely different, who knows, Song Zheng is still serious, and he can actually come up with the idea of sending the production team to South Korea to study.

"Xiao Song!

Song Zheng smiled: "Mr. Li, what do you think?"

Li Weikang knew that Song Zheng was referring to "The Birth of a Family", and I have to say that he liked it very much, that is, he was an old man, and when he was watching it just now, he couldn't help but giggle together, so you can imagine what kind of sensation this show will cause in society if it is broadcast on Mango Satellite TV.

But the question is, Song Zheng just said that this show does not count the performance fee of the guests, and the production cost alone is as high as 5 million, so if Mango Satellite TV wants to introduce it, how much price will it have to pay?

And then there is, once it is introduced at a high price, but this program is broadcast on Mango Satellite TV, and the ratings are not good, who will bear such a big loss at that time?

Sitting in his current position, Li Weikang can't help but think about these issues clearly.

"Xiao Song! What about the show, I look really good, really good, but once Mango Satellite TV is introduced, it is still unknown what the effect will be after the broadcast. ”

Song Zheng knew that Li Weikang was playing an official tone, just wanting to lower the price, and he quickly calculated the production cost of this show in his heart.

The one episode he is talking about here refers to two episodes of the program, each episode must be broadcast very twice, the production cost of one episode is about four million, and the other is the performance cost of the MC team, Lin Xinru naturally does not need money, Deng Zhuo and Zhang Hanyu are friendship prices, Wang Dongcheng A newcomer does not need much money, Lin Zhiling's performance fee for one episode of the program is 500,000, and Li Keqin is the same, the most expensive is Wu Zongxian, 600,000 yuan for one program, if all of them are added together, one program will cost more than 6 million.

With a psychological price, Song Zheng smiled: "What you said is also right, so let's think about it, if you think it can be introduced, of course I am willing to continue to cooperate with Mango Satellite TV!"

Song Zheng's words are only half of what he said, and the remaining half is also obvious, if Mango Satellite TV can't talk about it here, there are still so many satellite TV channels in China, I'm afraid that some people want to do Mango Satellite TV in the field of variety shows.

Li Weikang is such a smart person, he can't still hear Song Zheng's extraneous voice, and he can't help frowning secretly.

There is indeed a risk in introducing this program, but if you give it up, once it is introduced by other satellite TV stations, it will become a big hit after it is broadcast.

Don't look at these satellite TV stations are state-owned assets, but the internal struggle is very fierce, and in order to compete for ratings, there are no fewer dirty things in private.

The most important thing is that if Song Zheng is pushed to another satellite TV station because of this cooperation, it will be even more than worth the loss, and the two TV series produced by 1+1 Company this year have already made Li Weikang taste the sweetness.

Gritting his teeth, Li Weikang had already made a decision in his heart: "Xiao Song! Young man, his temper is urgent, so let's introduce this show, I don't think it's a problem, although the form of the program has not appeared in China, but the concept that Mango Satellite TV has always adhered to is innovation, and we are willing to be the first to eat crabs, but the price of the introduction is ~~~~~~~"

Song Zheng smiled: "Mr. Li, you can't let me lose, right?"

Song Zheng said a word, and directly blocked Li Weikang's later remarks, and couldn't help but smile a little embarrassedly, and said: "Xiao Song! You also know that this is just an introduction of a variety show, if the price is too high, it will be difficult to explain in all aspects, and you must also understand my difficulties!"

I understand you, who understands the money that Lao Tzu spent?

"Mr. Li! This way, as long as I don't lose money, the production cost of one episode of the program is seven million, and if Mango Satellite TV wants to introduce it, I can sell it for five million!"

Song Zheng is talking about one issue, but it is obvious that when he arrives at Li Weikang, what he understands is one episode.

This is the sorrow of the layman!

But obviously, this price is not something Li Weikang can afford, you must know that the production cost of the first phase of Mango Satellite TV's gold medal variety show "Happy Camp" is only a few hundred thousand, less than one million.

"Xiao Song, this price is still too high!"

Song Zheng immediately put on a bitter look in his heart and said, "Mr. Li, you can't let me lose all my pants!"

Director Li, who was sitting on the side, almost didn't hold back his laughter when he heard this, he can be regarded as an eye-opener today, who dares to talk like this with Li Weikang!?

Li Weikang also heard Director Li say just now, after such a program is produced, Song Zheng said that seven million is really not much, and Song Zheng has already come up with a preferential price, but five million is not acceptable to him.

"Xiao Song! Mango Satellite TV's introduction of such a brand-new variety show also has to take a certain risk!"

Song Zheng pretended to be embarrassed, was silent for a long time, and said: "Mr. Li! That's it! I'm lowering a little, four million a period, can't be lower, if it's lower, I will really lose money and make money, but I want 25 percent of the advertising share!"

Obviously, Song Zheng has been aiming at this aspect of interests from the very beginning!

Previously, Mango Satellite TV's "Super Girl" earned more than 100 million yuan in advertising alone, which is not counting the benefits derived from other aspects.

Song Zheng is confident that once "The Birth of a Family" is broadcast, it will definitely be popular, and the advertising fee will definitely be indispensable at that time, although 25% seems to be a bit much, but Li Weikang also has to think about how much Song Zheng gave in before.

Now it was Li Weikang's turn to be embarrassed, Song Zheng took another step, although the four million issue was still a bit high in his opinion, it was still within the range of what he could mature.

However, Song Zheng obviously suddenly opened his mouth and asked for a 25% share of the advertising fee, which seemed a bit too much in his opinion.
