Chapter 15 Low prices
At the end of November, Yanjing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In a screening room of CCTV TV, Xu Shihan, Director Zhou, and other leaders and directors of the station, a total of nearly 20 TV station staff members are watching "Love Apartment", a new urban fashion sitcom TV series.
Of course, what they are watching is not a live TV station, but a Blu-ray compressed high-definition disc movie.
After a month of fierce battles, the post-production of the TV series "Love Apartment" has been completed, so after Lin Yuhang watched it, he handed it over to Xu Shihan and asked her to meet Director Zhou and let them see if they were willing to spend money to buy the copyright of the premiere.
In the screening room, the laughter of TV special effects and the laughter of the audience converged, and after watching about two episodes, Director Zhou and the two deputy directors invited her to come out.
Director Zhou said directly: "The TV series is very well-made and interesting, but the content and language are too trendy, I can't understand many places, but we can also try it, as for the price, you Boss Lin haven't explained how much money is an episode?" ”
Xu Shihan responded calmly: "Mr. Lin said that if Director Zhou thinks that it can be broadcast in the CCTV theater, that episode will only charge 20,000 yuan." ”
CCTV has a rule that TV series produced with less than 30 episodes will not be wanted, so "Love Apartment 1" directed by Lin Yuhang and Ning Hao has a total of 30 episodes, in order to rely on the relationship between Director Zhou, and then enter CCTV at a low price.
Director Zhou really heard the price of 20,000 episodes, and he looked at each other with the two deputy directors in surprise.
"Okay, since you Boss Lin are so refreshing, then we will accept this TV series, let's go, let's go and sign the contract."
When Xu Shihan heard Director Zhou's words, the big stone in her heart finally relaxed, although she didn't understand why Mr. Lin sold "Love Apartment" at such a low price, but the task was finally completed.
The investment cost of "Love Apartment 1" produced by Tianma Film and Television is 8 million yuan, and an episode of 20,000 yuan was sold to CCTV at a low price, but 600,000 yuan was recovered, so it was a loss of 7.4 million yuan.
Xu Shihan, as a producer, she really doesn't know how Mr. Lin can continue to do such a loss-making business, if the company is like this for a long time, it will really go out of business!
Could it be that Mr. Lin doesn't want to make money?
"Very good, let me tell you Mr. Lin, if there is no problem, New Year's Day and New Year 2001 will arrange for "Love Apartment" to be broadcast within a week, and before the broadcast, we will invite him to do a talk show, you tell him that he must come, otherwise his TV series will not be broadcast." Director Zhou said solemnly.
"It must be certain, Director Zhou, don't worry, I will convey the words." Xu Shihan hurriedly said with a smile.
……
Lin Yuhang, who was far away in Xiangjiang, soon received a call from Xu Shihan.
On the phone, Xu Shihan conveyed the matter to him.
Lin Yuhang smiled at her and said: "Okay, I remember the talk show, after you are busy over there, hurry up and go to the magic capital, and prepare for the filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" with Cai Yinong, I have been busy in the past two months, and I won't go inland for the time being." ”
"Okay Mr. Lin, I'll go to the magic capital with them the day after tomorrow."
After Lin Yuhang hung up the phone, his mood was much more comfortable, although "Love Apartment 1" said that in order to be broadcast on CCTV, a lot of deletions were made in the later trimming, but it was also very worthwhile to finally be able to broadcast it on CCTV.
In 2000, there were no video websites on the Internet, no iQiyi, Youku, Tudou, Tencent Video, etc., so it was very difficult for "Love Apartment 1" to become popular.
So only when it is on CCTV can there really be a chance to catch fire.
The opportunity to sell a big fire at a low price, and when the actor is popular, the IP of "Love Apartment" will be formed, and it will naturally come naturally when the sequel is filmed in the future, and it is easy to attract the sponsorship of investors and advertisers.
Now, he is losing 7.4 million, but if "Love Apartment" is popular on CCTV on New Year's Day next year, Zeng Xiaoxian's fame will bring more economy to Lin Yuhang.
For example, Lin Yuhang's endorsement of some advertising products in the mainland is natural, and it is easy to be favored by major manufacturers.
The world's best-selling author does not mean that he has the same popularity as a star, popularity and influence are different things, just like the chairman of a film and television group, who actually controls many stars and has a lot of influence, but the people don't know who he is.
Lin Yuhang is like this chairman, his works are more popular than pen names, Harry Potter is like a star, and Lin Yuhang is rarely paid attention to, except for the treasure island, because after all, the treasure island is only a province in China, just a small place.
During this period of time, Lin Yuhang was in Xiangjiang, he was busy with the cooperation with Huang Yulang's Jade Dynasty Group, and he was also busy pulling directors for Tang Tianma Film and Television Group.
Jin Yong, Huang Yulang, Xingchi, and Liu Dehua, under his leadership, joined Tang Tianma Film and Television Group in the form of copyrights, cash, and shares, and became members of the board of directors.
Jin Yong authorized most of the film and television copyrights adapted from martial arts novels of Tang Tianma Film and Television Group, and Lin Yuhang also valued the copyright of his old friend at 30 million, including only the film and television copyrights of five novels: "Dragon Babu", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", and "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
At the same time as this authorization, Lin Yuhang Huayi Tianyu Group also acquired the adaptation copyright of all platform games of the above five martial arts novels for 10 million yuan, that is, including the copyright of all electronic products and games of stand-alone, web pages and online games.
Huang Yulang authorized the film and TV series adaptation copyrights of the three comic works of "Divine Soldier Xuanqi", "Rulai Divine Palm" and "Legend of the Son of Heaven" to Tang Tianma Group at a price of 12 million.
Comedy star "Xingchi" bought shares with 16 million yuan for the remuneration of the protagonists of the two movies, and Liu Dehua bought shares with 12 million in cash.
The board of directors of Tangren Tianma Film and Television Group has a total of eight directors "Lin Yuhang, Liu Dehua, Xingchi, Jin Yong, Huang Yulang, Li Guoli, Cai Xuan, and Cai Yinong".
With the addition of eight directors, Tang Tianma Film and Television Group has increased its net total assets to HK$300 million, with Lin Yuhang still the largest shareholder with 66% of the shares, and the remaining 34% of the shares are held by the remaining seven directors.
However, if Tang Tianma Film and Television wants to invest in film and television production on a large scale, it will definitely lack funds in the future.
Therefore, Lin Yuhang, as the chairman, plans to promote the group's listing in Xiangjiang in three years, so that he can have more funds to produce film and television products like an assembly line.
