Chapter 103: Refusal

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already the end of November.

Lu Xiaomeng did not disappoint Li Zhe, she completed 200 hours of training in less than a month, and successfully improved her singing potential to C+, and the upper limit also reached 70.

And with the new ceiling, she can also feel her progress in singing skills, sweep away the previous depression, and become quite optimistic. But such an improvement could not make her achieve results in the Yanjing Youth Song Competition, and she only passed the audition and was brushed off in the semi-finals.

The filming of "Step by Step" has been completed and the final post-production is now underway. "People in Embarrassment" is also nearing the end, and it will be completed soon.

Now he is also starting to get busy, after all, the TV series is not finished after filming.

After filming, the TV series had to be broadcast on TV to recoup the cost. The top priority is to sell the TV series, so Li Zhe set his sights on major TV stations.

There are many TV stations in China, the most famous of which is ZYTV's 1 to 13, and the movie channel is affiliated with ZYTV6. However, Li Zhe eliminated ZYTV as soon as possible.

First of all, ZYTV is a state-owned TV station, and the content will be more inclined to dramas. Although "Step by Step Horror" cleverly intersperses history in it, in the final analysis, it is still a time-traveling drama, and it cannot be put on the stage in the eyes of ZYTV.

There are only a handful of powerful TV stations under ZYTV, Yanjing's Yanjing TV and Modu's Oriental TV are the two TV stations with the strongest financial resources and strength.

In addition, there are also Suzhou Provincial TV Station, Zhejiang Provincial TV Station and Hunan Provincial TV Station are also relatively powerful TV stations, if nothing else, "Step by Step Shocking" should be broadcast on these TV stations.

……

The first thing Li Zhe came into contact with was Yanjing TV, and he had no way to contact Yanjing TV's film purchase office, but fortunately, Wang Jinghua helped him.

As the name suggests, the main role of Yanjing TV is to purchase TV series or movies for TV stations.

In this era, TV dramas undoubtedly represent huge benefits, after all, the income of TV stations mainly comes from advertising, and only when there are more people watching TV dramas, the price of advertising space will be high.

Therefore, generally speaking, the status of the director of the film purchase office in the TV station is very high, and this is the case with Yanjing TV. The director of their film purchase office is called Zhao Zhongwei, who is not only the director of the film purchase office, but also leads the position of deputy director of the TV station, which can be described as a high authority.

If it weren't for Wang Jinghua's introduction, it is estimated that it would be difficult for Li Zhe to see him.

……

"Director Zhao, I don't know what you think of our company's TV series?"

Zhao Zhongwei's face was as usual and said, "It's not bad." ”

Li Zhe was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Then Director Zhao is interested in buying our TV series?"

"Hmm!" he nodded.

"How much does it cost?"

Li Zhe is looking forward to the other party's offer, according to Li Zhe's thoughts, if the first stage is sold alone, then at least the cost will have to be returned, and each of these 40 episodes will be sold for at least 250,000 yuan to accept.

However, if Yanjing TV is willing to publicize more, it is not impossible to be cheaper. As long as the first round of premiere is famous, it will be sold at a good price when the second round is broadcast.

Just when Li Zhe was full of anticipation, Zhao Zhongwei spit out a number that made him jaw-dropping.

"10,000 episodes. ”

"What?"

Li Zhe even suspected that his ears had heard it wrong, because even if the price was low, it couldn't be this number, right?

He frowned, and said with a dry smile: "Director Zhao, don't be joking. ”

"I'm not kidding you, that's the price. 1 In case of one episode, we don't want it if there are more. Zhao Zhongwei's expression of being able to buy it will give you face, which made Li Zhe very annoyed.

But under the eaves, he had to bow his head, and he held back his anger.

"Director Zhao, you must know that our TV series is a rare big production. Among them, Mr. Chen Daoming starred in Kangxi, you must know that Mr. Chen Daoming's previous starring "Kangxi Dynasty" has received an average rating of more than 10%. This time he starred in Kangxi again, which will definitely arouse the interest of many people. ”

"And we also have the original cast of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" to participate, you must know that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was only screened at the beginning of this year and got the first rating of the year this year, such a popular combination is enough to make this TV series to a higher level. As long as it is played, then it will definitely attract a large number of advertisers to place ads. How can such a TV series have 10,000 episodes?"

Li Zhe said the advantages of "Step by Step", but the other party was still unmoved. Still sticking to the price of 10,000 episodes.

Such insistence has long made Li Zhe suspicious, because the other party's attitude is purely perfunctory. So he couldn't help but ask, "Director Zhao, are you trying to embarrass me?"

"It's not that I'm trying to embarrass you. Director Zhao's words were noncommittal, and Li Zhe also heard some information from them.

It seems that there are really people making trouble behind their backs, and now I think about who else has such a great ability besides the Star Emperor.

"Star Emperor again?"

Zhao Zhongwei glanced at him noncommittally: "I'll tell you, I didn't even have the idea of buying your TV series at the beginning, if it weren't for Mr. Wang of Huayi begging me, I wouldn't even want to release 10,000 episodes." If you don't sell it, you can go to another TV station. ”

Li Zhe was a little angry and left the TV station without saying a word.

Zhao Zhongwei looked at Li Zhe's back and said disdainfully: "Young people are just self-righteous, and they want to mix in the TV circle after offending the star emperor?"

……

After leaving the TV station, Li Zhe was very unhappy. He originally thought that no matter how powerful the Star Emperor was, that is, he had a wide network of contacts in the industry, and it should be impossible for things in the system such as TV stations to be influenced by them.

But I didn't expect Yanjing TV to be explained by them, which undoubtedly caught Li Zhe off guard.

At this time, his mobile phone rang, and Li Zhe saw that it was Cai Yinong calling.

"Hey, Mr. Cai, is it a matter of Zhejiang Satellite TV?"

The screening of "Fairy Sword" was placed on Zhejiang Satellite TV, and since this cooperation, Tang Ren and Zhejiang Satellite TV have also formed a good cooperative relationship. So Li Zhe asked Cai Yinong to go to Zhejiang Satellite TV to ask.

"Li Zhe, I'm afraid I'm going to have bad news for you. ”

Cai Yinong's tone was a little heavy, and Li Zhe chuckled in his heart when he heard it.

"What's the news?"

"I went to ask the director of Zhejiang Provincial Satellite TV, and they said that they couldn't buy the TV series you want to film and television. And according to the news obtained, I am afraid that not only Zhejiang Province, but also other TV stations in Jiangsu Province and Hunan Province have little hope. ”

"The Star Emperor has such strength?" Li Zhe suddenly felt a little shocked, if the Star Emperor could shut up so many TV stations at the same time, wouldn't it be very simple to fix himself?

"That's not it, I heard that the Star Emperor is willing to let dozens of artists under his command come to the TV station to participate in the show. That's what they use to get the director to refuse to buy your TV series. ”

I see, Li Zhe finally understood why this was happening.

Star Emperor's artists have produced many artists, and they are also very famous. And their participation in the TV station's program will make the TV station's ratings rise directly.

But Li Zhe's TV series does not necessarily have this effect, not to mention that the acquisition of "Step by Step" still has to pay money, but it is different to invite those stars, and the appearance fee is very low.

Compare the two, as long as you are not stupid, you will know which one to choose.
