220. Chapter 220: A Noble Choice
"This drama is suitable for young people, especially for student characters, so we decided to broadcast it in the summer vacation~" Manager Zhou smiled in an announcatory tone:
"Your website is going to stop for a while. [Full text reading]"
As soon as Gu Xiaofan said this, he felt that something was wrong, and Manager Zhou said: "What do you mean, you want to buy our exclusive broadcast rights?" ”
"Of course~" Manager Zhou said with a smile:
"Director Gu, I know that you have put a lot of effort into this "Love Apartment", but after all, you are a newcomer, young people should not rush first, think about how much money to make, and the most important thing is to accumulate popularity~~ Think about what a big platform our Dragon TV is, its publicity and promotion capabilities are beyond the reach of a small video website~ If it weren't for the fact that our station and your art factory are brother units, I wouldn't have come today, you must understand which is more important~"
Although Manager Zhou's words were very polite, there was a sense of condescending arrogance in his tone, which means that we are already giving you face by broadcasting your "Love Apartment", you really don't dislike this 90,000 episodes low, elsewhere, even you, the rookie director, can't even get a fart......
When Sun Bin, Wu Shikai and other production directors heard this, they were all a little stunned, this week the manager is going to dig the foot of the barrage network, if you lose "Love Apartment", the loss of the barrage network is self-evident.
The so-called shop bully, the purchasing managers of each David TV have always had such an attitude towards small production companies, He Tiejun didn't feel too surprised, and now the situation is very simple.
If it doesn't sell? That "Love Apartment" can only be like this on their small barrage network, 300,000 clicks per episode can't make money, but it is the most beneficial for the development of the barrage network itself, which can gather popularity.
But at the same time, Gu Xiaofan lost an opportunity for a sparrow to become a phoenix, after all, the big stage of Dragon TV is too important for a newcomer like Gu Xiaofan.
If you sell ...... Then Gu Xiaofan will have the opportunity to make a splash in the mainstream market, and the art factory can only receive a remittance of 90,000 yuan for this episode.
The first 16 episodes of "Love Apartment" invested 5 million, and the cost of each episode was more than 300,000, the 90,000 is really not enough to return to the cost.
He Tiejun thought for a while, looked at Gu Xiaofan's eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and nodded: "Okay...... Manager Zhou, your Dragon TV is indeed a ...... that our barrage network can't match."
Sun Bin and other production managers were stunned when they heard this, listening to the tone, what kind of director is this to fulfill Gu Xiaofan, regardless of the interests of the art factory?
But this thought was only fleeting, and everyone quickly understood He Tiejun's intention to do this.
In the factory, Gu Xiaofan is going to be left at all costs......
This week, the manager seems to be arrogant, but in fact he is very cunning, Dragon TV knows everything about the internal structure of the film, and said this in front of Gu Xiaofan, clearly telling Gu Xiaofan how good they are to him on Dragon TV on "Love Apartment".
If He Tiejun refused, it would directly chill Gu Xiaofan's heart, in case Gu Xiaofan ran away in anger for this matter, it would be equivalent to saying that the art factory would lose its core business backbone.
He Tiejun had no choice at all, so he could only let Manager Zhou pick up this bargain.
But just as Manager Zhou was about to accept He Tiejun's compromise with a smile on his face, he suddenly heard someone say in a deep voice:
"We must not sell this drama~"
Everyone turned their heads and was stunned, no one expected that the person who said this turned out to be the most unlikely Gu Xiaofan?
Just looked at Gu Xiaofan's face full of indignation, like looking at Manager Zhou like an idiot: "Manager Zhou, please go back, "Love Apartment" will definitely not sell the exclusive broadcast right, and it is absolutely impossible for me not to broadcast it on the barrage network for the summer file of Dragon TV." ”
Manager Zhou is stupid, what's the situation?
Does this Gu Xiaofan have a problem with his brain?
Don't want a good Dragon TV summer file, want this broken video website?
But although Manager Zhou found it difficult to understand, he couldn't just let such a cheap one not pick it up, so he just persuaded Gu Xiaofan seriously:
"Director Gu~ You still don't understand~ Although your "Love Apartment" is very popular with young people now, the novelty brought by this kind of funny is temporary, and everyone will be aesthetically tired after a while...... Your click-through rate will naturally go down...... You can't compare yourself to the American "Friends" ......."
"Manager Zhou, your analysis is very correct, simple funny can't make the audience really continue to like this "Love Apartment", but you underestimate our actors." Gu Xiaofan looked at this fat-headed and big-eared Manager Zhou with disgust.
"Our actors are not only funny, we also have something more profound, we can break into the hearts of young audiences, which is absolutely impossible for other TV dramas."
"What do you mean?" Manager Zhou obviously didn't understand, but felt that Gu Xiaofan was bargaining with him.
"It means that although our drama is now attracting the audience with a funny plot, the characters in the medium-term plot will also be sublimated with the plot, and the audience will gradually like the characters, not just the plot."
Gu Xiaofan looked at Manager Zhou and said with a disdainful expression: "Our actors are far better than most of the best-selling dramas on the market, and they will conquer more audiences, of course, this is something that laymen can't understand." ”
Mom's, I want to buy the exclusive broadcast rights for 90,000 episodes, and I still have an expression on my face? You think you're CCTV!?
Manager Zhou's face sank instantly when he heard this, and he waved his hand directly and said, "Since this is the case, there is no need for us to talk about it anymore." ”
Manager Zhou got up, originally thinking that someone was going to hold him, but he found that no one was present to keep him, and he sneered angrily: "You guys just hold this drama and broadcast it online, don't expect to be on satellite TV in the future." ”
Watching Manager Zhou slam the door and walk out, Sun Bin and all the other producers stood up excitedly, took the initiative to come over and pat Gu Xiaofan's shoulder, and said with great admiration:
"Director Gu~ This time my grandson is serving you!"
"I, Wu Shikai, admire you~"
"Xiao Gu, you are too noble~ I really didn't expect it, there are still young people like you."
He Tiejun was even more moved, and after the meeting ended, he came over deeply and pinched Gu Xiaofan's shoulder, was silent for a while, and took out something similar to a badge from his wallet and stuffed it into Gu Xiaofan's hand.
"What is this?" Gu Xiaofan looked at the 5 stars on it, and the old small badge was puzzled.
"Keep it." He Tiejun said with a serious face: "This is the Republic of China Literary and Art Medal issued to our old He family, and our family has this one." ”
"Alas...... I can't afford this. When Gu Xiaofan heard that it was a "cultural relic", he immediately didn't dare to accept it.
"Take it!" He Tiejun directly stuffed this small badge into Gu Xiaofan's pocket, looked at him and said: "Gu Xiaofan~ Today, you are willing to sacrifice your personal interests for our art factory, and you deserve this literary badge!" From today onwards, I am my He Tiejun's brother! ”
Hearing this, Gu Xiaofan suddenly cried and laughed, and said speechlessly:
"Director He, I'm really not sacrificing myself, Dragon TV doesn't have a future as our barrage network, and the potential of our "Love Apartment" is far from being realized."
You're a fart! I'm not for the art factory, it's that this deal is not cost-effective at all......
"Okay, I know." He Tiejun nodded movingly, thinking that Gu Xiaofan was worried about his face, so he said this, and felt more and more that this Gu Xiaofan was kind......
