After Lin Chen got the source of "A Chinese Ghost Story", he invited the senior management of Chopsticks Brothers Media to watch this drama, in addition to Tiaozi, Zhang Hao and others, Lin Chen also invited Lu Wei and Li Yadong, after all, the two of them are increasing their directing ability, and their ability to distinguish between good and bad and even potential of a drama is still clear.

Lin Chen sent the source of the film to the five executives of Chopsticks Brothers Media, and asked the five of them to watch it in the shortest time. has commented on this "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Lin Chen also roughly watched this "A Chinese Ghost Story", after the adaptation of "Uniasia Entertainment", Lin Chen felt that except for the good special effects, the others did not seem to have grasped the theme.

Long Qi also made a detailed description of the past and present lives of Grandma Tree Spirit, while Nie Xiaoqian's past and present lives are just a brushstroke, Long Qi is compared with the original "Liao Zhai", and even a little different, Lin Chen feels that if this drama is not set off by the previous "A Chinese Ghost Story" movie, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get even 2 ratings.

In terms of shooting ability, Lin Chen also feels average, and Lin Chen feels that it is not for nothing that 'Uniasia Entertainment' has lost its competitiveness.

Of course, in addition to the special effects, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is also eye-catching.

After Lin Chen roughly watched the plot of "A Chinese Ghost Story", he also summoned the senior management of Chopsticks Brothers Media to discuss the drama.

In the conference room, Tiaozi first said: "Lao Lin, let's put aside the advantages and disadvantages of this one, I think with the current influence of our chopsticks brothers, I don't think it will be a problem for us to sell him for millions in our mainland." “

Zhang Hao, who is the artist manager, also said: "Mr. Lin, I think this is reasonable, there is "Yitian" as a market reference, and you come forward to this drama, I think it should be able to sell at a good price." ”

Listening to the views of Tiaozi and Zhang Hao, Huang Xiaoqiang, who is the publicity manager, said: "Mr. Lin, I don't agree with this point of view, our Chopsticks Brothers Media can have today's influence completely by word-of-mouth, to be honest, the quality of this "A Chinese Ghost Story" filmed by 'Uniasia Entertainment' is not very good, and it is not comparable to "Yitian" and Ben, I think our Chopsticks Brothers can be used as an intermediary to let 'Uniasia Entertainment' talk about it, after all, the majority of the income of this TV series is in 'Uniasia Entertainment'." ”

Compared with the views of Tiaozi and Zhang Hao, Huang Xiaoqiang does not approve of the TV series "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Huang Xiaoqiang's point of view is somewhat the same as Lin Chen's, after listening to Tiaozi, Zhang Hao and Huang Xiaoqiang's views, Lin Chen is ready to listen to Lu Wei and Li Yadong's views.

Li Yadong and Lu Wei have roughly the same idea, thinking that "A Chinese Ghost Story" adapted by 'Plaza Asia Entertainment' is very different from the movie version in terms of quality and shooting level, and even many plots are avoided, and on the basis of the movie, too many characters have been added.

Lv Wei said: "Even if Mr. Lin's drama can be sold at a higher price, I think there will be a big gap between the ratings of this drama and "Yitian", after all, the audience can still intuitively distinguish the quality of a drama. ”

Although Chopsticks Brothers Media accounts for a certain proportion of the investment in "A Chinese Ghost Story", it was forcibly pulled in by 'Uniasia Entertainment', and Lin Chen's promise to be the undertaker and promoter of the mainland is completely driven by the special effects of chopsticks, but the drama is filmed like this, and he still wants to use the influence of Chopsticks Brothers Media to make money, and Lin Chen naturally will not accept it.

In fact, when 'Uniasia Entertainment' announced that "A Chinese Ghost Story" would enter the mainland market in a high-profile manner, various films and television paid enough attention to this drama, without it, just because "Yitian" was too popular, and there were too many people who missed "Yitian" Satellite TV, even if the price of 8 million for the second round of broadcast rights was won by Mango Satellite TV, Mango Satellite TV also achieved break-even.

'Uniasia Entertainment' added the Chopsticks Brothers when promoting the producer, and added Lin Chen's name to the assistant director and director of the shooting, which is too attractive to the industry, so many people are communicating with Chopsticks Brothers Media and 'Uniasia Entertainment'.

Lin Chen did go to the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" during filming, and it is understandable for 'Uniasia Entertainment' to borrow Lin Chen's name, but if such a drama is to be sold to various satellite TV with the help of Chopsticks Brothers Media, it will indeed have a certain loss to Chopsticks Lin Chen's reputation.

Lin Chen forbade Huang Xiaoqiang to promote the TV series "A Chinese Ghost Story" through all channels of Chopsticks Brothers Media, and also clearly told Pan Bin, the director of "Uniasia Entertainment", that Chopsticks Brothers Media can introduce this drama to various satellite TVs, but Chopsticks Brothers Media is not responsible for negotiating, and all issues related to the negotiation of "A Chinese Ghost Story" are all handled by "Uniasia Entertainment".

Despite this, Lin Chen still did not stop the fierce pursuit of the drama "A Chinese Ghost Story" by various satellite TVs.

Mango Satellite TV was capricious again, and on the premise of not obtaining the quality of this drama, it directly shouted to 'Uniasia Entertainment' for a single episode of 5 million, such an offer, such a quote made 'Uniasia Entertainment' a little ecstatic.

After 'Uniasia Entertainment' received such an offer, it did not screen it again, but directly agreed to Mango TV's offer.

Mango TV.

After getting the reply from 'Uniasia Entertainment', Miao Ce, the director of film purchase, was a little surprised, when the offer was five million, Miao Ce went completely to Lin Chen's name, and even Miao Ce was thinking about whether he had reported less, but he didn't expect such an offer to make 'Uniasia Entertainment' agree, which also made Miao Ce mutter about this drama.

"Director Li, you said that this drama 'Uniasia Entertainment' agreed to our offer without any thought, will there be anything greasy in this?"

Indeed, the offer of five million, in Li Hongjiang's view, has a completely muddy water meaning, but such an offer has been agreed by the other party, and Li Hongjiang can't figure out this 'Huanya Entertainment' in the end. That's a drama marked with Lin Chen's name, in Huaxia, Lin Chen's drama can be won with the second round of broadcast rights, or even the third round of broadcast rights, five million, this 'Uniasia Entertainment' brain should not be in the water!

When Li Hongjiang couldn't figure out what was going on, Miao Ce spoke up again: "Maybe this is 'Uniasia Entertainment' showing favor to us, maybe it's an artist who wants to use our platform to praise them!"

Listening to Miao Ce's conjecture, Li Hongjiang said: "Don't care what the intention of 'Uniasia Entertainment' is, we should hurry up and sign this TV series now." ”

Regarding the label with Lin Chen's name, Mango Satellite TV naturally thinks that signing "A Chinese Ghost Story" with 5 million per episode is a big profit.

Although I don't know the content, thinking about the popularity of the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", coupled with the name of Lin Chen's deputy director, Mango Satellite TV still did not hesitate to sign the TV copyright of "A Chinese Ghost Story" with 'Uniasia Entertainment'.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" is just forty episodes, and the transaction price of Mango Satellite TV and "Uniasia Entertainment" is 200 million, and under the premise that the three rounds of broadcast rights of "Yitian" are signed to 200 million, the transaction price of the "A Chinese Ghost Story" TV series is indeed not a big news.

At the same time, many people in the TV drama industry are calling on Mango Satellite TV to pick up a big bargain, and even obtained the premiere rights of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the mainland at a price of 200 million.

""A Chinese Ghost Story" was sold in 500 episodes, and 'Uniasia Entertainment' doesn't know how to do it at all!"

"If the premiere rights of 200 million are given to me, I think I can make 100 million if I change hands!"

"Mango Satellite TV has made a lot of money this time, this is bullying the 'Uniasia Entertainment' who doesn't know how to do it!"

"When will it start? I'm looking forward to the character of Nie Xiaoqian played by Wang Yina!"

……

After Mango Satellite TV signed a contract with 'Uniasia Entertainment', those who did not work with satellite TV were envious of Mango Satellite TV, and even many satellite TV stations felt that they could win this TV series at a price of 200 million.

Of course, the most exciting thing is 'Plaza Asia Entertainment', "A Chinese Ghost Story" sold for a sky-high price of 200 million, which is already explosive news in Xiangjiang.

In fact, Xiangjiang's TV series in recent years, including many movies, are losing money and making money, and the general premiere rights in Xiangjiang can be filmed tens of millions of dollars, which is already a sky-high price, and hundreds of millions of dollars are even more numerous, and the mainland premiere rights of "A Chinese Ghost Story" of 200 million yuan are also a record.

In fact, there are many dramas and telephone dramas with the premiere rights of about 3 million, and only "Condor" and "Yitian" and several other big dramas are really selling at sky-high prices.

The transaction price of 200 million is like the price of a big drama, and after Mango Satellite TV won this TV series, everyone is also guessing the ratings of the TV series "A Chinese Ghost Story".

"I think I should have passed five!"

"Even if it's not five, it is conservatively estimated that there is still four, and Long Qi plus the influence of the big TV IP of "A Chinese Ghost Story". ”

"What's the matter, this drama is also absolutely profitable and profitable for Mango Satellite TV. ”

……

While the outside world was hotly discussing the ratings of this TV series, 'Uniasia Entertainment' also officially dubbed the show, and at the same time officially handed it over to Mango Satellite TV.

Miao Ce, director of the film purchase department, and director Li Hong invited a group of senior executives of Mango Satellite TV to prepare to gamble on this drama.

For many senior executives of Mango Satellite TV, everyone feels that it is a pleasure to spoil Lin Chen's new drama in advance, after all, the plot of "Yitian" says everything.

In the Mango Multimedia Hall, Miao Ce took out the first three episodes of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and prepared to play it.

At the beginning of the story, there were some special effects for big scenes, which made everyone addicted, but after the special effects, after the main drama began, everyone seemed to have lost interest in this drama.

After the start of the main drama, Miao Ce was also muttering, is his own judgment standard a little up, it seems that this drama is not as good as expected, and even the plot is still a little dragged, and he can't grasp the key point at all.

Although he muttered, Miao Ce didn't dare to share his thoughts and thoughts, after all, this drama was purchased by himself, if he lost confidence in this drama, it would naturally be conceivable for others.

After watching the general plot of the three episodes of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Miao Ce first traced his eyes to Li Hongjiang, after all, when he bought this drama, there was also the encouragement of director Li Hongjiang, Miao Ce wanted to know Li Hongjiang's attitude towards this drama.

"Director Li, how do you feel about this drama?"

Compared with Miao Ce, Li Hongjiang is not as professional as Miao Ce when judging a drama, but the most intuitive quality of a drama for himself naturally cannot deceive Li Hongjiang, this drama seems to be not attractive to Li Hongjiang at all, if you really want to evaluate something, the only thing that makes Li Hongjiang feel is that the special effects are good.

However, Li Hongjiang will not say what he thinks in his heart after all, because the industry's evaluation standard for this TV series is about five. Li Hongjiang naturally didn't want to be slapped in the face for saying his true thoughts.

"This is worthy of a TV series where Lin Chen is the assistant director, I think this drama is good in terms of evaluation from any aspect, Long Qi is a special effect, it feels like a blockbuster. ”

Listening to Li Hongjiang's words, other directors in the station also began to compliment: "Director Miao, I think you have made a great contribution to the introduction of this drama this time." ”

"Director Miao, I even think that our celebration wine can be drunk in advance. ”

"Director Miao, if you buy such a good drama, you have to express it. ”

……

Listening to everyone's compliments, Miao Ce also felt that his intuitive reaction to this TV series was wrong, maybe it was just that he didn't find the advantages of this "A Chinese Ghost Story".

After feeling that everything was ok, Miao Ce also officially considered the issue of finalizing the show.

At the same time, Zhejiang Provincial Satellite TV, which failed to get a piece of the pie on "Yitian", set its sights on a Korean youth idol drama, like another time and space, the status of Korean dramas in China is unshakable, and Long Qi is a youth puppet drama market Korean drama is a wave of force.

After Zhejiang Satellite TV's Korean drama "The Breeze Blows" was finalized, Mango Satellite TV's "A Chinese Ghost Story" was also finalized, and the broadcast date on September 20 made everyone smell a strong smell of gunpowder.

"Is this Zhejiang Satellite TV and Mango Satellite TV going to PK rhythm?"

"Who will be better in the ratings of "The Breeze Blowing" and "A Chinese Ghost Story"?"

""A Chinese Ghost Story" is Lin Chen's work, is it possible that Zhejiang Provincial Satellite TV spent such a large price to introduce this drama, isn't it a gift to people?"

……

Liu Neng, director of Zhejiang Satellite TV's film purchase, had no intention of restarting with Mango Satellite TV, but he didn't expect that after his own big drama was finalized, Mango Satellite TV chased after him, and finally "The Breeze Blows" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" were broadcast in the same file.

Many fans of Wang Yina have begun to gather momentum, and many fans who have watched the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" have become fans of Wang Yina, or fans of Nie Xiaoqian. Everyone is looking forward to this TV series of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

"I hope to have more introductions to Nie Xiaoqian's past and present lives, what this official eunuch woman was like before she died. ”

"I would like to introduce more scenes of Nie Xiaoqian's encounter with Ning Caichen after her reincarnation. ”

"I especially like the Taoist priest Yan Chixia played by Guo Haibin, and it is best to have some introductions to Yan Chixia when she was young to catch thieves. ”
