Chapter 186: Eating Meat and Drinking Soup

Although Dream Chaser Entertainment is a new company, there are not many TV series produced. Those who know Lu Wenbin know that the quality of the works flowing out of his hands seems to have always been good, and they have brought a lot of benefits to Lu Wenbin.

Even if Lu Wenbin is still insisting on online creation, the benefits brought to Lu Wenbin by his works are not low. In view of this situation, many TV stations are also a little more interested in the TV series written by Lu Wenbin.

If they just thought that this drama had a drama before, then after watching the first two episodes with their own eyes, these department directors who are responsible for purchasing TV dramas have called the leaders of the station, hoping to increase the unit price authorization of each episode.

As these people expected, at the beginning of the bidding meeting, Liu Jiazhen from Suzhou TV said in a striking voice: "Since everyone is embarrassed to make a bid, then I will throw bricks and lead the way, and we will release 600,000 episodes of this drama!"

600,000 to buy the premiere rights of an episode does sound a bit expensive. But the average ratings of each episode can really reach two percentage points, but I am afraid that many TV stations are willing to add 600,000 more. After all, the advertising cost of two points of viewing is not low!

The most important thing is that if you can grab the top few ratings in the same period, then this is a good thing to get your name and profit. 600,000 sounds a bit expensive, but compared to some TV series with big investments, it doesn't seem like much!

Hu Feipeng, who stayed aside and listened to the bidding, couldn't help but be happy when he heard the price given by Liu Jiazhen. The unit price released by Suzhou TV alone can recover all the costs of filming this drama, and it will make a little profit!

What he didn't expect was that not long after the quotation of Suzhou TV, the director of Imperial Capital Station also said in a timely manner: "The quality of this drama is good! I believe that Mr. Lu's works are attractive, and we will add 50,000 more per episode of Imperial Capital Channel!"

When the price of each episode was pushed to 800,000, the rest of the TV stations that were interested but couldn't come up with so much money had no choice but to quit. The remaining three competing TV stations seem to have a good relationship with Lu Wenbin.

The production director of Pearl Channel, after the price of 800,000 yuan, also felt a little worried. Judging from the previous offers, the other two TV stations do not seem to be so easy to talk to. This means that it is estimated that it will have to be fought with real guns.

"Imperial Capital Terrace, 850,000!"

"Suzhou Taiwan, 950,000!"

With Liu Jiazhen increasing the price by 100,000 in one go, the director of the Imperial Capital Station smiled helplessly, and the only thing left was the production director of the Pearl Channel. Suzhou TV's offer has reached the limit of what he can offer.

Just when many people thought that this drama might be won by Suzhou Stage, a voice suddenly came from the door of the conference room: "Pearl Stage, one million! Mr. Lu's first work, how can we not be on Pearl Stage!"

Looking at Luo Sihai who walked into the conference room, Lu Wenbin and Hu Feipeng also quickly got up and said, "Luo Tai, why are you here?"

"If I don't come, I can't do it! If I don't come again, such a good work is just afraid that it will be robbed by others! Lao Liu, we will pay 1 million for Mingzhu Stage, how about your station?"

From Luo Sihai's tone of asking Liu Jiazhen, everyone knew that the two should know each other. Although Lu Wenbin and Hu Feipeng both hoped that Liu Jiazhen could continue to fight, Liu Jiazhen still didn't in the end.

got up and said with a wry smile: "Luo Tai, you Mingzhutai eat meat, we must drink some soup! The price just now is already the limit of our Taiwan, it seems that this time, we can only temporarily back down!"

"No price increases? Okay! For your face, I'll invite you to drink tonight!"

With the final decision of Luo Sihai, who came at the end, Pearl Channel successfully won the premiere copyright of "Love Apartment" at a unit price of 1 million episodes. This is equivalent to saying that before the TV series was broadcast, Lu Wenbin made a lot of 20 million.

As the company's first self-made drama, Hu Feipeng and the management naturally attach great importance to it. Now that they see that the income of this drama is so high, they really feel that filming a TV series is indeed a very profitable thing!

But for Lu Wenbin, he knows very well that Mingzhutai is also gambling. But as far as the current situation is concerned, he believes that the ratings of this drama should not disappoint Pearl Channel. Maybe Mingzhutai can even make a lot of money!

After the auction ended, Lu Wenbin also said very sincerely: "Thank you leaders for participating in the auction of our company's first work during their busy schedules. If you don't mind, I'll invite you to have a light meal in the evening.

In the second half of the year, our company will start filming some TV series one after another. I believe that with today's cooperation, we will have more opportunities to cooperate next time. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to all the leaders for their support.

If there are any good cooperation opportunities in the future, our company will also give priority to cooperating with leaders. As for the quality of my company's works, I think it will be more convincing to use numbers after the TV broadcast, what do you think?"

Listening to Lu Wenbin's words, Luo Sihai also smiled and said: "So, Mr. Lu's expectations for the ratings of this TV series are still very high!

What was a little surprising was that Lu Wenbin smiled confidently and said: "Luo Tai, why don't we also have a gambling agreement and bet by two percentage points on the average rating of each episode." More than one point, you add 100,000 more episodes.

If it's less than two points, we'll give you 100,000 episodes. I think that in this case, it should be a good way to cooperate with me and you. Luo Tai thinks, are you interested in changing the cooperation agreement?"

As these words came out, Luo Sihai shook his head directly and said: "There are examples of Imperial Capital Station and Suzhou Station, so I won't be fooled by you! No matter what the ratings of this TV series are, we Pearl TV recognize it." ”

1 million to buy an episode of a TV series with ratings that can break two, in Luo Sihai's opinion, it is not a loss at all. It can even be said that even if it can maintain more than one rating, this price is not too expensive for Pearl Channel.

But Liu Jiazhen, who was staying on the side, said in a timely manner: "Mr. Lu, if you had said this gambling agreement earlier, maybe I could have added some prices." Do I know that the gambling agreement in the last drama was also the handiwork of Mr. Lu, right?"

"Hey, Lao Liu, you can't intervene in it again! You have no regrets, who told you not to dare to be a little more generous! If you add another 100,000, it is estimated that I will retreat. ”

"Luotai, our Suzhou Taiwan is not as big as your Pearl Taiwan family, spending more than 20 million yuan to buy a drama, we really can't afford it!

"I can't help if I miss it, but I heard that this show is only the first season?"

In the face of Luo Sihai's inquiry, Lu Wenbin also smiled and said: "It seems that Luo Tai's news is very well-informed! This is indeed the first season, if the first season is broadcast with a good response, we will shoot a season every year before the summer vacation."

Personally, I'm very bullish on the sequel market for it. Although Luo Tai's bid was indeed somewhat unexpected by me. But I still want to say that if it's the price of the second season, I'm afraid I won't sell it at this price!"

"I'm relieved to have your words! As long as the first season doesn't lose, next year's second season of yours will also be booked for Pearl Terrace! No matter what, we are also old acquaintances, and this fertilizer water can't flow into outsiders' fields!"

"Luo Tai, this is a bit unkind! It seems that at night, I really want to toast Luo Tai for a few cups!"

Even if this auction will finally make Mingzhutai more skilled. But many people know that if the first season is really successful, then the price of the second season will presumably be higher. But in that case, it's safer!

asked Hu Feipeng to book a high-end hotel, and Lu Wenbin also entertained these directors who came to watch the film. Even the accommodation of these people is all the responsibility of Lu Wenbin's company.

After all, this time the Dream Chaser Company earned 20 million, and some hospitality expenses are still no problem!

When the reception was over, Liu Ying, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said excitedly: "Boss, one million per episode, oh my God! Then you didn't make a lot more money this time! It turns out that the boss's current signboard is so effective!"

"23 million bought the premiere rights, which seems to be sold at a sky-high price. But after the TV series airs, you will know that in fact, we still suffer. This drama is suitable for all ages, and I believe it will be loved and sought after by many people after it is broadcast.

As far as the current advertising price of Pearl Channel is concerned, as long as the ratings reach more than 1.5 points, they can make a small profit. If the average viewership can reach more than two points, then they will earn more advertising dollars.

If it weren't for the first season, I certainly wouldn't have sold it so cheaply. However, it is not bad to spend more than a month and earn 20 million. Wait for the money from Mingzhu Station to come, and the seven of you will each give you a red envelope!"

"Okay, okay, thank you, boss! It seems that we can make a small fortune too!"

"Don't worry! The company makes money, and naturally it will not treat you badly. As long as you work with peace of mind and film well, I believe that it should be a matter of time before your annual income exceeds one million in the future. Do you understand?"

Considering that the actors in the first season are all newcomers, Lu Wenbin's price for them is naturally not high. But for many actors, earning tens of thousands of dollars in more than a month is also a very lucky and happy thing.

If you add the red envelopes given in the later stage, Lu Wenbin believes that their income will also make others red. But for Lu Wenbin, if the company eats meat, it is no problem to give the artist a thick soup.

After negotiating this matter, Lu Wenbin asked Hu Feipeng to make a reward form, and gave a bonus to the director Chen Youbin, including the director, at the end of the month. When everyone received their June wages, they were all very excited.

The seven leading actors in the play all received a bonus red envelope of 100,000 yuan, and Chen Youbin, as the director, received 50,000 yuan. The rest of the staff ranged from one to another, and they also received tens of thousands or thousands of red envelopes one after another.

In short, with the bonus in June alone, Lu Wenbin sprinkled millions of red envelopes in one go. This kind of magnanimity is difficult to imagine in other companies. This makes many employees and artists who join the company feel that they have found a good boss and a good company!
