Chapter 140: Negotiation

"The Hangover" has a global box office of 260 million, and "The Great Detective" has a domestic box office of 37 million alone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe conditions for a box office of 500 million have long been met. In other words, as long as Gu Wenwu wins another A-class film festival award, then the door to the first line will be opened for him.

"But is this award something you can take if you want to?" Wang Shicong was stunned for a long time before a sentence came out.

"How do you know if you don't try it, besides, if you don't work once, then twice, you can't always be stuck in the second line." Gu Wenwu said.

Looking at Gu Wenwu's relaxed face, it seemed that there was no pressure on him to win the award. If it were someone else, Wang Shicong would definitely scoff at it, and if you want to win the award, you will get the award, you think that the film festival is opened by your family. But for Gu Wenwu, he has an inexplicable trust, because from the beginning to the present, Gu Wenwu has been staging this miracle and incredible.

It should be explained here that a film festival is a film festival and an awards ceremony is an awards ceremony, and the two cannot be confused. Awards such as the Oscars, Golden Horse, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers are awards set up to recognize outstanding works, while film festivals are an event held to promote and improve the art of film, and various awards are usually set up to reward achievers. Film festivals can be divided into competitive and non-competitive, and the so-called A-category film festivals refer to the "competitive non-specialized film festivals" classified by the International Association of Film Producers.

On Earth, by 2015, there were only 15 international film festivals in the world. Among these 15 film festivals, the most famous are the three major international film festivals in Berlin, Cannes and Venice. The same is true in this world, the three major film festivals are also famous all over the world, and only the Pearl International Film Festival belongs to the A-class film festival in Daxia, but its influence is far less than that of these three major film festivals.

I have to say that the hard conditions for the first-line directors set up by the Star Review Club are relatively harsh. If you want to reach the front line, you must be both civil and military, and you must win a high box office and an award.

"So you're preparing to hit the Pearl International Film Festival." Wang Shicong said.

"Sort of." Gu Wenwu said noncommittally.

"Then how are you going to do this movie, how much is the investment, and who will be invited to play it?" Wang Shicong asked.

"What, you're also interested in art films?"

"Of course, I'm interested in all your films."

"I'll talk about it when I write the script, and I'll let you know when the time comes."

With the current strength of Wenwu Studio, it is more than enough to shoot a small-budget art film independently. But since Wang Shicong is willing to get involved, it doesn't matter.

Wang Shicong left, although he was not very satisfied, but since Gu Wenwu had made up his mind, he was not good at what he was saying, and what he said did make some sense. got Wang Shicong done, and finally no one bothered Gu Wenwu because of the sequel.

On the other hand, the negotiations between Zhang Jizhong and his party and Baodao Satellite TV are entering the most critical moment. Since it is a negotiation, then naturally, Baodao Satellite TV has decided to buy this TV series.

TV stations buy TV dramas, generally according to the number of episodes, and the unit price of each episode. "Dragon Babu" has a total of forty episodes, and the price given by Baodao Satellite TV is forty-thousand. This price is really good for a TV series where everyone from the director to the actors is a newcomer. For TV dramas, it is impossible to recover the cost by relying on a TV station. You must know that the total investment of "Dragon Babu" has reached 6 million, and if you rely on Baodao Satellite TV alone, you can only recover less than one-third of the cost. So in order to recover the cost, it is natural to find other TV stations and continue to sell door-to-door.

It can't be helped, that's the hard work of small productions. If there is a famous big production, the people from the TV station will come to the door by themselves, and the producer only needs to organize a viewing party for the TV station people to watch.

The unit price of 40,000 episodes makes the people of Kyushu Entertainment Company very satisfied, because now only the first round of broadcast rights is sold, and after the first broadcast rights are sold, there are also second round broadcast rights and three rounds of broadcast rights. To be able to sell so many times, it should be more than enough to recover the cost. They didn't bargain with the people of Baodao Satellite TV, and directly agreed.

"Wait." When you see the staff, you have to take the contract 89 and so on. Seeing that the staff was about to bring up the contract, Deputy Director Shen, who had not spoken much during the negotiation, suddenly spoke. As a person of this status here, he naturally attracted everyone's attention as soon as he spoke.

"Chief Shen, who are you?" Zhang Jizhong said incomprehensibly.

"Compared with the premiere right, our station actually wants the exclusive broadcast right more, or let's talk about the exclusive broadcast right." Deputy Director Shen said.

"Do you mean the first round of exclusive broadcasting?" A person from Kyushu Entertainment next to him asked. His name is Qianli, and he is the leader of this negotiation.

"That's nature." Deputy Director Shen nodded. He is very optimistic about this show, so he wants to buy the first round of exclusive broadcasting rights. Because in his opinion, if you only buy the first round of broadcast rights, the benefits cannot be maximized, and if you buy the exclusive broadcast rights, then the risk is a bit big. So buying the first round of exclusive broadcast rights is the best choice.

The people of Kyushu Entertainment didn't expect Deputy Director Shen to come to such a show, although they were not prepared, but it didn't hurt to listen to the conditions.

"And what price are you going to pay for?" Another Kyushu Entertainment person asked.

"Seventy thousand episodes." Deputy Director Shen lightly reported a number.

"What?" Not only the people from Kyushu Entertainment, but even the people from the TV station were shocked. This price is too sincere for "Dragon Babu".

"Director, this?" The people from the TV station came back to their senses and wanted to stop it, but they were stopped by Director Shen with a look.

"Director Shen, can you let us think about it?" Dry Lane.

"No problem." Deputy Director Shen simply agreed.

This kind of thing, Qianli can't do it, so it is natural to discuss it with the company.

After Qianli and his party left, the person who wanted to speak earlier but stopped him walked up to Deputy Director Shen with a trace of puzzlement on his face: "Director, isn't 70,000 episodes too high, many big productions don't have this price." As soon as Deputy Director Shen's mouth moved, he raised the purchase price by 1.2 million, which is called a few million per minute.

"Is the price high, I'm afraid that they won't agree if the price is low." Deputy Director Shen said. After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving the man in the same place, with a wonderful expression on his face.

Back at the hotel, Qianli called back to the company as soon as possible and explained the previous situation to the boss in detail. Naturally, this kind of thing can only be decided by the boss.

Shangguan Yue, the boss of Kyushu Entertainment, didn't think much about it, and quickly gave the answer: "Yes!" ”

"I see, boss." Qianli didn't ask why, as a subordinate, he just had to obey orders.

The next day, negotiations continued. There was no accident this time, and Baodao Satellite TV bought the first round of exclusive broadcast rights of the TV series "Dragon Babu" at a price of 2.8 million. The TV series is tentatively scheduled to be released in mid-November. At this point, the sales journey of "Dragon Babu" has come to an end for the time being. The sale of the second-round broadcast rights will not continue until the TV series is broadcast, and as for how many second-round broadcast rights can be sold, it depends on the reaction after the TV series is broadcast.

Thank you for the tips of the two students of Hefeng and Tanshenbin!
