Chapter 168: Unstoppable

Deputy Director Zhu was in a very good mood.

When he advocated the purchase of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he was under a lot of pressure, not as good as the TV series adapted from the works of famous Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, which has a wide viewing base, this is a new work. Although the author Tan Zhang is famous in China and abroad, he has a shallow foundation and has not yet cultivated a large number of fans.

Whether the audience bought it or not, it's hard to say.

After the ratings of the first two episodes came out, all his pressure was immediately shattered, the first episode of 3.25% was normal, and the second episode rose to 4.62%, breaking this year's ratings record, which is a popular harbinger, and it is not in vain that he stayed up late and worked overtime to wait for the data. In the middle of the night that day, Deputy Director Zhu, who has always been stingy, was even willing to pay for a late-night snack for his colleagues.

There are fried noodles and fried rice, as well as chaos and dumplings.

With the first day of broadcasting, the ratings rose sharply, and the ratings climbed again in the two episodes on the second day, and by the time of the fourth episode, the ratings successfully broke the 5 o'clock rating. On the third day, it rose strongly, breaking the ratings of 6 points. For three days, the ratings were reaching new heights every day.

On the fourth day, as soon as the 7th episode of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was broadcast, the ratings reached a height of 6.26%, breaking the ratings created by CCTV's "Mother-in-law" and temporarily leading the national TV drama ratings. It is also the highest-rated program in the same period in the country, including CCTV.

""Shooting the Condor" bent the bow to win the championship, and Zhijiang won the championship." -- "Zhijiang Daily" immediately published a press release to celebrate the ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Unwilling to be left behind, Headline Entertainment reported the grand occasion: "The mainland martial arts are coming strongly, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" created the best ratings in 2004. ”

The article first reviewed the TV series that had been broadcast in 2004. listed the best ratings one by one, among which only "Mother-in-law" broke 6 ratings. The rest is "It's the New Year in the New Year" or "Big Sister". or "Romantic Things", both can only hover around 5.5%.

As for the local Shangxing Satellite TV, the ratings were all fiasco, even the Xunnan Station, which relied on "Brother Sending Pig" to reach the top of Shangxing Satellite TV, is more miserable this year. The viewership share of Zhejiang Satellite TV is not as good as that of Anwei Satellite TV, which ranks second, and its influence is really limited.

But it is difficult to look forward to Zhijiang Satellite TV, which is the back of Xunnan Satellite TV and Anwei Satellite TV, and now relies on a martial arts drama to achieve a big reversal.

The second episode of the first day of the premiere. has already broken 4% of the ratings, rushing to the top of this year's Star TV list, in just four days, CCTV has also been KO in one go, becoming a temporary ratings hegemon.

The ratings have been reported one after another, and the reputation of the TV series is also good.

"It's so good, it's the best martial arts movie I've ever seen, although it's only been a few episodes, it's the best in every aspect."

"Like Li Jixiong and Zhou Taiping. Li Jixiong is silly cute, and the little beggar played by Zhou Taiping is quirky and cute, all of them are so cute. ”

"I really didn't expect that there are so many majestic shots in martial arts films. It is much better than the previous Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts films, and the story is also good, and I can see the taste. I'm watching it. ”

"Our whole family loves the show, every night at 7:30. Be punctual and sit in front of the TV. ”

"As the original party, I am very receptive to the adaptation of the TV series. It's very close to the original book, and the adaptation is good! ”

"Novels are good, songs are good, TV series are good, and actors are good."

"Li Jixiong's acting skills feel a little too much, Zhou Taiping's voice is looking for someone to re-dub it, fortunately."

"It's different from the taste of martial arts movies in the past, and my parents are fascinated by it."

"I like Hua Zheng, I like Hua Zheng, why doesn't Guo Jing stay and be with Hua Zheng!"

"Damn, I said Mei Chaofeng why is she so beautiful, it turned out to be played by Li Meiping, watching her practice under the moon is really moving."

"I like the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, it's fun."

"It's a pity for Princess Huazheng."

There is a voice on the Internet that applauds "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the water army has not yet developed in recent years, and many netizens' posts are from the heart, good is good, bad is bad, and the evaluation is very real.

The ratings of "Shooting the Condor" are real, and the evaluations received are also real.

""Condor Shooting" has such good ratings, in my opinion, it is an inevitable result, first of all, our investment scale is very large, and every shot strives to be excellent. At the same time, our actors are working very hard, the crew is united, and everyone is holding their breath to shoot this TV series well. ”

Zhang Weishen faced the reporter's interview, talking eloquently, his gray beard was full of spirit, of course, after he boasted about himself, he did not forget Zhang Tan's credit: "The original novel of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a very good martial arts novel, telling people, things, and love, and the previous novels, not much better, and more exciting. ”

A reporter asked: ""The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is very good-looking, its theme song "Iron Blood Pill Heart", the ending song "Who is the Big Hero", and the episode "Always Hello in the World" are all very good, and the audience is full of praise. Were these three capitals created by Tan Zhang? Tan Zhang can write music in addition to writing novels? ”

Zhang Weishen replied: "You should go and interview Tan Zhang and ask him personally." These three songs were all created by Tan Zhang, this young man is a rare genius, the real kind of genius, not boasted. ”

Of course, the reporters will not let Zhang Tan go.

Although Tan Zhang hid in Heqi and did not show up, they still called one after another, hoping to interview Zhang Tan by phone.

They haven't forgotten that when Zhang Tan wanted to write a script, the bigwigs in the screenwriting industry despised it. Now that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has a big rating, and the word-of-mouth has rave reviews, it is a good time to make news. The monotonous report ratings are amazing, how can there be any contradictions between celebrities to attract attention.

Zhang Tan is very annoyed by the frequent interviews with reporters, but he has an assistant, and what the assistant does, is to help him deal with these mundane affairs.

The assistant's answer was with a thick official tone.

However, he still conveyed Zhang Tan's meaning: "The ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are within my expectations, as long as the story is told well, in fact, whether it is a novel or a script." It's all simple. The industry should not only focus on a few people, but also give new people opportunities. To someone who can tell a story. ”

"Story is the essence of a work."

Zhang Tan's words, although he did not name names. But it can also be regarded as killing Cao Weitai, Wang Wenwu and other bigwigs in the screenwriter circle.

It's just that when the reporter took Zhang Tan's words and went to these bigwigs to corroborate, the other party refused to respond. Now that Zhang Tan is in the limelight, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is becoming more and more popular day by day, they have to avoid its edge, and there is nothing to say, Zhang Tan is already one of the few celebrities in China.

Now how many viewers have begun to set their eyes on this martial arts drama.

Online and offline, friends and family. Colleagues and classmates are frantically discussing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and those who have not seen it immediately feel outdated.

So I went back to see it too.

The ratings grew like bamboo shoots, rising a lot overnight.

According to this momentum, I dare not say that I can create the miracle of "Brother Sending Pig", but at least with the current sensation, it can properly become an annual phenomenal TV series.

……

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a big hit.

Zhang Tan couldn't hide his joy at the corner of his eyebrows, and he felt that he had climbed to the pinnacle of his life, and he could see all the mountains at a glance.

A work adaptation is on fire. All works will be affected.

Now he is a big celebrity in the film and television industry.

Before the broadcast, although the film and television company was very interested in his works, they wanted to buy the copyright at a low price for storage. Look at the future direction. I am reluctant to spend a lot of money, after all, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was sold for only 500,000 yuan, and I want to follow this standard. Give hundreds of thousands, and you will take the copyright.

Zhang Dabeard Studio produced a total of 42 episodes of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The adaptation rights bought for 500,000 yuan will be apportioned. The price of an episode is less than 12,000. is not as good as the salary of a supporting role in the play, which is equivalent to giving the adaptation rights to Zhang Dabeard in vain, in order to make a name for himself.

For a famous work, it is enough to sell one, how can you continue to sell copyrights cheaply.

Zhang Tan is unwilling to sell it cheaply, and the film and television company is reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy the copyright of a work that has not been proven.

Therefore, the stalemate has been held to this day.

In a blink of an eye, the ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" rose in the wind, and the price of Zhang Tan's novel film and television adaptation rights also rose in the wind. The film and television companies that were reluctant to spend a lot of money before regretted it one by one, but they had to come around again, and now these novel adaptation rights have become old hens that lay eggs.

No, Zhang Dabeard came over early to grind his lips and wanted to buy the copyright of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the price reached the high price of "50,000 yuan for a single episode".

Based on the normal number of 40 episodes of a TV series, this is an adaptation fee of 2 million.

This price is already higher than the novel adaptation fee of some famous Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, and Zhang Feifei, Li Tiejian and others, who are currently active in Hong Kong and Taiwan, have a single novel adaptation fee at this price.

However, soon, Bona Film and Television Company raised the price of "The Condor Heroes" to 60,000 yuan for a single episode, and quoted the packaging price of "The Four Famous Catchers of Jingshi" at 1.5 million, and the packaging price of "The Four Famous Catchers of Kanto" at 500,000 yuan.

Yu Xi, the boss of Bona Film and Television, said proudly: "I am very interested in your novel, no matter which one I want to buy, everything is negotiable in terms of price." ”

Huaxia Shenlong Culture Company, not to be outdone, shouted "The Condor Heroes" to a price of 3 million, which is almost the adaptation fee of Qiong Yao's novel.

In the face of the large-scale offers of many film and television companies, Li Yanxi couldn't help but be happy, but she did not reply immediately, but continued to wait for the price to sell.

Because "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is still on the air, the ratings are still growing, and until the end, no one knows how much the final stable ratings will reach.

There are a total of 42 episodes, 2 episodes a day, and it takes 21 days to broadcast, starting on June 12 and not ending until July 4.

"Now in four days, I have broken 6 o'clock, and I hope to break the ratings of 8 o'clock! If it breaks 8, the current quotation will be low. By next month, if you can break 10, a single episode will cost 100,000 yuan, which will definitely not be a problem! Li Yan confidently reported to Zhang Tan, this is not her opinion alone.

Now Luzhou Studio has successively recruited more than a dozen elites engaged in entertainment planning and copyright trading, and formed a special team.

Here's the team's assessment.

Zhang Tan is not a businessman, he prefers to trust the eyes of professionals: "Sister Li, you let it go, it doesn't matter if the price is high, I believe that my novel can be sold at this high level!" ”

As if in order to confirm Zhang Tan's words, the ratings growth momentum of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has not slowed down, breaking 7 in five days, 8 in six days, and 9 in eight days, and on June 21, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which was broadcast for ten days, broke through the 10-point rating high in one fell swoop amid the cheers of the employees of Zhejiang TV.

It reached a rating of 10.125% and a market share of 23.45%. (To be continued.) )
