Chapter 502: Negotiation
"It's here!" I don't know how long it took, the car stopped abruptly and arrived at the TV headquarters of Jiangsu Satellite TV. Shaking their heads, getting rid of the chaotic thoughts in their minds, Shen Lian and Zhang Ting opened the door and got out of the car.
"Mr. Shen Lian, Miss Zhang Ting, please come with me."
As soon as I got out of the car, an assistant who had been waiting next to me came over and invited the two.
"Where's your Director Zhou?"
Shen Lian asked.
"Our director is waiting for you in the office. She's still watching the trailer that she only does. ”
The assistant nodded.
I have been here many times, and I am familiar with the internal structure of Jiangsu Satellite TV, and Shen Lian is not polite, so he waved to Zhang Ting and went to Zhou Li's office by himself.
"Shen Lian, I'm glad you came."
As soon as he pushed the door, this was the first thing Zhou Li, director of Jiangsu Satellite TV, said to Shen Lian: "Thank you very much, you can give us this opportunity to discuss the purchase plan of the TV series with you in advance." ”
"I'm afraid it's not that simple this time, "I May Not Love You" is not a TV series that our studio has completed the production of zuò alone, Tang Film and Television has also participated in the investment and production of zuò, and the right to speak is more than our studio, so ......"
Shen Lian said helplessly.
"You are straightforward enough, I am not hypocritical, our TV station wants to buy the premiere of "I May Not Love You", each episode, 1.25 million."
Zhou Li said that for this TV series with an investment amount of around 20 million, the price given by Jiangsu Satellite TV is enough for the studio and Tang Film and Television to protect their capital.
It's very powerful, and the first quote hit the bottom line price in the studio's heart.
The 26-episode TV series, with a total price of 32.5 million, after deducting taxes, the income of the studio and Tang Ren is also about 21 million, which is enough to recover the cost.
There is no Shen Lian as an absolute celebrity, the theme is very novel, very special, and can even be said to be very literary, but the appeal of the two leading actors is questionable.
The ratings of Hu Ge's starring TV series in recent years have not been as great as expected, and the ratings of "Mythology" and "Sword and Fairy III" are indeed great, but they are also very much dù stained with the light of popular IP, and even his performance in "Sword and Fairy III" is still criticized.
And "Shangri-La", "Bitter Coffee", and "Modern New Human" can only be said to be decent, and they have not reached the expected level.
And the heroine Lin Yichen's popularity in the mainland is far less than that in Taiwan.
In terms of appearance, he is not such an outstanding person, and his personality is also quite low-key, and the slightly younger idol drama actors have risen very quickly, although Lin Yichen is the only actress who has won the Golden Bell Award for idol dramas, but when it comes to carrying the ratings, it is still difficult to say that he is very sure.
"Just like the result of our negotiation with Jiangsu Satellite TV on behalf of "You from the Star" half a year ago, if Jiangsu Satellite TV can't give us a price that is at least satisfactory to us, then from the perspective of our studio, we may be more willing to share this risk with Jiangsu Satellite TV."
Inspired by Shen Lian's last behavior, Zhang Ting also learned this hand.
However, from Shen Lian's point of view, in fact, he hopes to get a fixed high price with Jiangsu Satellite TV, rather than taking risks together.
"You from the Star" will definitely be popular, Shen Lian is very confident, and Shen Lian is sure that Jiangsu Satellite TV is eager to make some achievements, and does not let Hunan Satellite TV be the only beauty, and took the initiative to face the two ace programs of Hunan Satellite TV, and finally moved Zhou Li.
But the times are changing, with the help of the hit of "You from the Star" at the beginning of the year and the steady development of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", Jiangsu Satellite TV has begun to change the so-called national movie-watching habits little by little, although there is a huge gap with Hunan Satellite TV, but it is also a grade ahead of other satellite TV, ranking second among domestic provincial TV stations.
As for "I May Not Love You", Shen Lian is naturally full of confidence in terms of quality, and even said that this idol drama is even more than "You from the Star" from the perspective of breakthrough, "You from the Star" is more from the special effects, and the character design has made an attempt to break the thinking framework, and "I May Not Love You" is more from the relationship between the characters to take a more realistic route, more empathetic, at least no one will feel like Huo Zhengyan, but many people will take their own shadow from Li Daren.
However, in terms of ratings, Shen Lian is not completely sure that he can achieve high ratings.
Be confident, but definitely not blindly confident.
"Our cooperation model with Jiangsu Satellite TV is very different from that of other film and television production companies. Putting aside this TV series, in fact, at the beginning of the year, Shen Lian proposed to me a variety show, and I am personally very interested in working more closely and meticulously with the studio. I have a mention, I don't know if you are interested in listening to it. ”
Zhou Li suddenly changed the topic.
"Hehe, I'd like to hear about it."
Feeling that Zhou Li should be interested in introducing Korean variety shows and developing the domestic variety show market, Shen Lian made a silent look at Zhang Ting, who was about to express his opinion, and then said to Zhou Li with a smile.
"Around March this year, our TV station began to inspect several variety shows recommended by Shen Lian, and also negotiated and studied with several Korean TV stations on these variety shows to enter the Chinese market, and has reached an intentional cooperation agreement with MBC, and we will introduce MBC's production at the end of this year to the artist's "imaginary marriage" as the selling point of the reality reality show. In the show, popular stars form an imaginary couple and live an imaginary husband and wife. ”
Zhou Li proudly announced.
There are many reasons why I chose to cooperate with MBC.
SBS's "**nningman" is too excessive, requiring it to enter the production process of participating in the Chinese version of Jiangsu Satellite TV's "**nningman", and at the same time enjoy various benefits of the program, that is, no money, but manpower and program material creativity to occupy the shares of the program.
Considering that there are no suitable variety artists in China at this stage, after hesitating, Jiangsu Satellite TV still passed this mention.
The remaining two are MBC's "Infinite Challenge" and "We Are Married", after repeated considerations, Jiangsu Satellite TV still chose "We Are Married".
After all, it is a reality show of fake marriage, and the intensity is not very large, so it must be easy to find guests who are willing to participate.
But MBC also put forward its own requirements, in addition to the high copyright fees, there is also a requirement for each season to form an international couple from China and South Korea, and the part of the international couple will be broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV and MBC respectively.
This requires that the two who become an international couple must be proficient in Chinese and Korean Chinese, among Chinese artists, only Shen Lian and Han Geng can meet this condition, but Han Geng is a S.M rebel, because of some interests, MBC cannot offend S.M.
Shen Lian is almost the best choice.
