Chapter 1: Xinrui
"Zhu Ziqing's most inspirational work "Soldier Assault" TV series, Beijing Satellite TV will see you at 10 o'clock on July 1. ”
"Zhu Ziqing's most touching work "Soldier Assault" premiered on Beijing Satellite TV. ”
Seeing these reports, Zhu Ziqing smiled bitterly. It's a good thing that TV dramas get publicity, but if these reports only appear in the corners of some tabloids, it is really not happy.
Chenghai Entertainment was really surprised when he knew that Zhu Ziqing sold the premiere rights of "Soldier Assault" to Beijing Satellite TV and obtained a good time period, but that's all.
They didn't adjust their plans because of this incident, in their opinion, what can they do if they sell it?
But considering that this drama is under their company's name after all, and others have sold the broadcast rights, it is impossible to say that they will not do anything. So Chenghai Entertainment bought a few cheapest positions in a few small newspapers, that is, the newspapers in front of Zhu Ziqing now.
How small are these newspapers, Zhu Ziqing spent the morning running dozens of newsstands to buy all these newspapers.
And "Black Hole", which is also an adaptation of his novel, is too enviable.
"The press conference of "Black Hole" was held in Beijing, and the general manager of Chenghai Entertainment came to ...... in person"
"The "Black Hole" press conference was star-studded, actor Xu Zezhong, famous actors Liu Fengwen, Qian Hai ......"
"Actor Xu Zezhong debuts as a villain......"
Famous directors, actors, popular stars, adaptations of best-selling novels...... These add up to too many gimmicks.
The publicity conference invited dozens of large and small media across the country, and the general manager personally stood on the platform......
But "Black Hole" is also worth the effort they put into publicity. The premiere rights were sold to CCTV, and the broadcast time period was 8 o'clock prime time, and the price of each episode was as high as 1.4 million.
The first round of broadcast rights of 31 episodes of the TV series sold more than 43 million. Invest 30 million and make a net profit of 13 million before tax. The second and third rounds of broadcasting rights are for nothing.
A drama brought them 20 million in income. No wonder even the general manager personally came out to engage in publicity.
After watching "Soldier Assault", the three-no TV series, it was reluctantly sold to Beijing Satellite TV, or at ten o'clock in the evening. The price of each episode is only 400,000, which is less than one-third of "Black Hole".
The 30 episodes of the TV series sold 12 million, and the profit before tax after deducting costs was more than 5 million. The more than 5 million is still a few points. Zhu Ziqing's investment accounted for one-third. It's about a million. The proportion of Chenghai Entertainment is not as large as his, and he can't even share one million.
As for the second and third rounds of broadcasting rights, even the first round can only sell for 400,000 yuan, do you still need to count on the second and third rounds?
One is tens of millions of income, and the other is less than one million, and anyone will calculate this account. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the differential treatment of Chenghai Entertainment.
"It's enviable. Looking at the news related to "Black Hole", Chen Guoli made no secret of his envy, jealousy and hatred.
"What, do you regret taking this play?" asked Zhu Ziqing with a smile.
"How is it possible, the opportunity to direct independently is too difficult. Again, I'm sure I'll choose to shoot "Soldier Assault". It is impossible for such a big investment in "Black Hole" to be handed over to me, even if it is squeezed in, it will be a sub-crew director. I still have this self-knowledge. ”
"Rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail?"
"Yes, new directors can learn from well-known directors and expand their network. I'm long past that stage. ”
Director Chen said this magnificently. ”
"You must think I'm talking big when I say that, but that's the way it is. My level of directing TV dramas is no worse than anyone else's, what I lack is an opportunity. Chen Guoli said confidently.
"Then I want to congratulate you in advance, the opportunity you want has come. Zhu Ziqing announced with a wave of his hand.
Chen Guoli smiled and shook his head, he knew what Zhu Ziqing was talking about. But:
"Mr. Zhu, don't be angry if I say something from my heart. "Soldier Assault" is good. It's very touching, and the reputation will definitely not be bad. But there are too many popular dramas. ”
"I know what you mean, and I know that neither of us can convince anyone. So let's put this matter aside. Let's talk about publicity, do you have any good ideas?" Zhu Ziqing shook his hand helplessly, not talking about this topic.
"Nope. Chen Guoli spread his hands: "General dramas either promote big productions or celebrities. or make a scandal...... I really can't think of any selling point in our play. ”
Influenced by his previous life, Zhu Ziqing saw that "Soldier Assault" was an advantage everywhere, and how it sold well. He couldn't figure it out, why did everyone give a three-nothing evaluation.
When he was engaged in publicity, he finally figured out why everyone was not optimistic about this drama. Because he racked his brains and couldn't think of any bright spots to promote.
Big production? No. The star cast? No. The plot is thrilling? This doesn't seem to be the case.
I want to cut a promo video out, when they cut out some wonderful shots and play them alone. I found that these touching clips suddenly became boring.
This kind of change was unexpected by Zhu Ziqing, so he had to dispel this idea.
Just when he was worried about the publicity, he received an unexpected phone call.
"Hello Mr. Niu. Seeing the three words Niu Bojun on the mobile phone screen, Zhu Ziqing remembered who he was for a while.
"Hello Mr. Zhu, I didn't expect you to remember me, it's so honored. Niu Bojun said happily.
"Mr. Niu laughed, you are a big boss, how dare I not remember. But Mr. Niu, you still remember me as a little person, and I am really flattered. ”
"Mr. Zhu's words are just slapping me in the face......"
After some hypocritical politeness between the two, Niu Bojun finally said his purpose:
"There's something I want to discuss with you, I don't know if you have time. ”
"Mr. Niu, please speak. ”
"Our company wanted to create an album for Belle, but we couldn't find the right title track. Could you please write a song for her? ”
"This ......" Zhu Ziqing looked at the time and said, "Is Mr. Niu in the company now? Why don't I go to your company and we have an interview?"
"That's great, it's just too much trouble for you. ”
"It's okay, no trouble. ”
That's right, Niu Bojun is Niu Lao Wu, the boss of Xingyiguan Media Company, and he is also Lin Beier's bitter boss.
When Lin Beier participated in the Youth Song Competition, the two had a one-sided relationship and exchanged mobile phone numbers. I just haven't been in touch since.
As for Lin Beier, after the last twists and turns, the two have less contact. But after all, she is a sister-in-law, and Zhu Ziqing still knows a little about her situation.
After the Youth Song Competition, she re-entered the campus to study. Not only did he not release an album, but he never even released a single. Sentiment gradually fell back to its lowest.
In addition to hearing those familiar melodies, everyone can still think of such a person, and almost forget her.
It wasn't until Zhu Ziqing's engagement that she re-entered everyone's attention, and her popularity skyrocketed.
When Lin Baoer's identity was revealed, everyone did not forget her twin sister.
Even because she is an artist herself, she has a popularity base, and she is still single and has no scandals, so her popularity is higher than that of Lin Baoer.
But those who know what happened know that this is not a good thing for her, but another hurt. To do this, she has become more low-key.
In this regard, Zhu Ziqing only felt deep helplessness, but there was nothing he could do.
Now Niu Bojun suddenly called and said that Lin Beier was going to release an album, and he was both surprised and happy. As long as she is willing to stand up and do things, it is a kind of progress.
It just so happened that he was also in Mingzhu City, so he temporarily decided to go to the Star Art Museum in person to see for himself what was going on.
"Seven nights?" As soon as he entered the gate of the Star Art Pavilion, Zhu Ziqing heard a nice voice and asked tentatively.
Following the sound, I saw a tall figure, wearing a sleeveless chiffon blue vest, a black hip-wrapping skirt, and a pair of white high-heeled sandals at his feet. It shows the charm of fashionable OL.
And this sexy beauty was looking at him expectantly with big bright eyes at this time.
Zhu Ziqing was also stunned, and almost didn't react. This is the first time someone has called his pen name to his face, and he is a big beauty.
"It's me. Are you?" said Zhu Ziqing cautiously. If he was sent by Niu Bojun to greet him, he shouldn't have called his pen name.
"Seven Nights, it's really you. The beauty's eyes moistened for a moment, and she said excitedly.
The crowd in the hall couldn't help but look at the two of them. Someone has already started gossiping, could it be the reunion of old lovers?
Look at this beauty's delicate face, choppy chest, round buttocks, and slender thighs...... All the male compatriots couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. This brother ...... No, this scumbag is sexually blessed.
"Uh...... Beauty, do we know each other?" Zhu Ziqing asked with a frightened step back.
"I'm your book lover, my name is Xinrui. It's been great to meet you. The beauty Xin Rui quickly adjusted her mentality, but it can be seen that she is still a little excited.
"Xin Rui?" Zhu Ziqing asked in surprise.
"Yes, the same name as Cinderella. Isn't that a coincidence? I'm so lucky that I have the same name as Cinderella. As he spoke, he became excited again, and said with little stars in his eyes: "More fortunately, I can actually see Seven Nights in reality." ”
Zhu Ziqing did a minor operation on those stories when he was transporting, and the background was all changed to Chinese, and the names of the characters were naturally no exception.
Cinderella's original name was Cinderella, and Zhu Ziqing replaced her with Xinrui. I didn't expect to see the person with the same name in reality today, and he is also a fan of his own books. It's just too much of a coincidence.
"Hello Xinrui, thank you for enjoying my book. After speaking, Zhu Ziqing felt that this was too official, and added: "You are Cinderella in crystal clothes." ”
At this time, Niu Bojun was sitting helplessly in his office. He didn't expect that he just said that Zhu Ziqing was coming soon. The female secretary left her work and ran downstairs to greet her, but she couldn't come back no matter how she shouted.
The brain-dead fan was really unreasonable, and he came to a conclusion again.
And across from him, sitting was the expressionless Lin Beier. (To be continued.) )
