Chapter 95: Finalizing the TV station
Article 95
Although the radio station has encountered difficulties, many fans, including many people, have begun to look forward to Cao Cao's new work......
"I heard that the filming of "Love Apartment" has been completed, when will it be officially broadcast??" Fans and netizens began to raise their voices.
They are all looking forward to whether Cao Cao's work can continue the previous classics and whether it can bring unforgettable memories to everyone again......
I heard that "Love Apartment" was directed by Cao Cao himself......
I heard that this drama does not belong to any genre in China, but is modeled after the season-by-season model of American TV dramas, and there are only 20 episodes in the first season for the time being......
Cao Cao's powerful work, directed by Cao Cao himself, and season-by-season TV series, with Cao Cao's current popularity, audiences who have watched Cao Cao's works have no reason not to look forward to it.
Moreover, the lines in "Love Apartment" are very classic, just like the sentence "People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed" has long become a common phrase in daily life......
and the sentence 'You are not a casual person, but you are not a person if you are casual' made countless people laugh.
At this time, although "Love Apartment" did not reach the original time when people were embarrassed to go to every corner of China, they were still looking forward to it!!
The official website forum of "Love Apartment" is gradually becoming popular, the call is getting higher and higher, and the fans are accumulating more and more!
"Love Apartment" continues to rise in the ranking of Baidu Fengyun search list!
Cao Cao did not live up to the audience's expectations at this time, and was actively looking for a cooperative TV station, but the result was still very decadent.
This time and space is the same as the previous time and space, and TV channels are divided into central level, provincial satellite TV, provincial non-satellite channels, and local TV channels.
As soon as the central channel and the provincial satellite TV channel were established, they began to position themselves as national channels, so they are definitely wider than non-satellite TV channels and local TV channels on the basis of audience, so Cao Cao must send "Love Apartment" to the provincial satellite TV channel.
However, although all the central and provincial satellite TV that Cao Cao has contacted have expressed their willingness to cooperate with Cao Cao, they are unwilling to provide the golden theater time in the evening, although "Love Apartment" has received widespread attention, although Cao Cao's popularity has skyrocketed during this time......
The unspoken rule that the mother-in-law, the third party and the debt are the three essential elements of the Golden Theater is not said casually, but a lesson summed up after countless blood and tears. In the past, there have been many TV stations that have tried to break this shadow curse, but all of them have been hit on the head and bled out.
So now those provincial-level satellite TV (second-line) and central-level satellite TV (first-line) naturally dare not try to fall into the pit, but local TV channels are only limited to the local area, and the user development outside the province is desperate, and Cao Cao basically doesn't think about it.
However, things soon took a turn for the better, and the provincial satellite TV, Dragon TV, contacted Cao Cao at this time.
Dragon TV, is the main TV channel of Oriental TV, mainly taking the entertainment route, in China's major provincial capitals to achieve complete household access, the central city household rate ranks in the top 10 provincial satellite TV, and the ratings are basically in the top 20 of the national satellite TV ratings.
Because it has always lacked opportunities and determination, its ratings have been suppressed by the central and provincial satellite TV channels above, and even its ranking has gradually fallen in the past two years.
This time coincided with the change of the old and new directors, and after the ambitious new director took office, he set his sights on Cao Cao's "Love Apartment".
Although the three necessary curses of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the third party and the Golden Theater of Sins and Debts are like a boulder in the heart of the new director, the new director can no longer take care of it.
Why is Dragon TV's ratings in prime-time TV dramas unable to beat other satellite TV every time? And it keeps falling? Because the good TV series were all picked by them first, the TV series left for themselves were all leftovers.
Broken and sunk, broken and then standing, the new director can be said to have a bold director.
And now "Love Apartment" is likely to be an underrated TV series because of its wide dissemination and because its director is Cao Cao.
Moreover, the first season of "Love Apartment" only has a short 20 episodes, two episodes a day, five days a week, and it can be broadcast in just two weeks, even if the ratings are low, it will not hurt the entire satellite TV channel on a large scale.
Dragon TV soon sent a negotiation team to Kyoto to sign a premiere agreement with Cao Cao.
When the negotiation team came to the door, Cao Cao happened to be at the Celestial Empire Media Company.
For Dragon TV, a provincial satellite TV channel, to premiere "Love Apartment", Cao Cao naturally raised his hands in favor. The lawyer and the negotiation team are ready-made, so in a conference room of the Celestial Empire Media Company, the two teams started negotiations.
The person who led the Dragon TV negotiation team is called Liu Meng, a very capable man, about forty years old, flat-headed, dressed in a suit, and capable in spirit.
At the beginning of the negotiation, Liu Meng said directly: "I want to see the finished video first, even if it's a short segment!" ”
See before you buy. In his opinion, this finished video will determine the next course of negotiations. Once you feel that "Love Apartment" is not good enough, the negotiation price will naturally become lower, and if you think it is good, you will be willing to pay a higher price.
And Cao Cao is also full of confidence in "Love Apartment", this is a TV series suitable for all ages, and the lines and plot are very down-to-earth.
Moreover, in this time and space, the entertainment industry is amazingly prosperous, and the people's ability to accept entertainment is very strong, and there will be no incomprehension at all.
"I'll show you the first episode! I have faith in this show! "Cao Cao is generous and does not hide it in the slightest. Look, the trailer of the essence will not be used to fool you, I will directly show you the full version of the first episode and it has been approved by the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television to show you, whether it is a dragon or a worm at a glance, it is sincere enough.
Soon, the staff of the post-production team of "Love Apartment" came in with a USB flash drive and adjusted the projector for everyone in the conference room to watch.
Dragon TV's negotiation team members are sitting in anticipation.
Wan Yu: "Uncle, your go-kart number is big!" ”
Policeman: "This tractor is even better, and it has a left lane change light!" No way...... He wants to overtake! ”
"Hahaha~~" The conference room laughed constantly.
Ziqiao: "Chen Yuanyuan! You~~ Chen Bianbian!! ”
"Hahaha~~"
"It's so funny!!"
Although the team on the side of Celestial Empire Media Company has seen it no less than ten times, they are still amused by it.
Although the negotiation team members of Dragon TV tried to force it, they all failed, and finally had to hold their stomachs and laugh wildly.
When Cao Cao saw them like that, he was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that this negotiation had been successful, and he should be able to sell it for a good price.
The first episode of forty minutes was quickly watched, and Dragon TV's negotiation team was already laughing weakly at this time, let alone negotiating with momentum, even standing up would be a problem.
After an hour, the suspended negotiations were restarted again, and thanks to the excellence of "Love Apartment", the communication between the two parties was smooth, and an agreement was soon signed to calculate the premiere royalties based on ratings.
It is scheduled to be officially broadcast on the Dragon TV channel of Oriental TV from 19:00 to 22:00 on March 10, 2001 (Monday).
After the agreement was signed, the two sides jointly held a small press conference the next day to promote the premiere of "Love Apartment".
"Finally, we can see the real thing!!" The long-awaited fans were overjoyed and excited.
"Love Apartment", what kind of results can be obtained in this time and space? Cao Cao looked forward to it.
On February 28, the secretary took Cao Cao to the post-production studio of "Love Apartment" and showed Cao Cao the final cut of the 20 episodes of "Love Apartment".
After Cao Cao saw it, he directly agreed, and then sent it to the local radio and television bureau for approval.
The review of film and television films in this time and space is not as strict as in the previous time and space, and the office efficiency is also fast, as long as it does not involve cracking down on the central party, it can be given the green light all the way.
On the second day, the 20 episodes of "Love Apartment" were reviewed without cutting it.
After Cao Cao got the final version, he immediately sent it to Oriental TV.
The publicity of "Love Apartment" has also begun to be vigorously launched, and several channels of Oriental TV on Dragon TV have also begun to promote "Love Apartment" in an all-round way, arranging the simplified trailer as an advertisement to an important advertising period and broadcasting it in turn.
This time, the new director of Oriental TV can be said to be ruthless to promote "Love Apartment" more extensively, and even part of the advertising time is occupied, you must know that these advertising positions are all money.
The reason why the new director dared to do this was mainly because after watching the first episode of "Love Apartment", he felt that this drama was really down-to-earth and suitable for the live broadcast of the TV station. Although there are many people in the TV station who oppose it, he has great ambition and courage, and he is also determined to go down at this time.
In addition to TV station advertising, online publicity has also begun to unfold vigorously. According to the discussion between Cao Cao and Oriental TV, it is felt that the propaganda attention is focused on the point of 'decompression', and the main propaganda targets are those office workers who have high pressure in work and life, as well as those migrant workers in factories and construction sites......
……
Wang Tianhu dragged his tired body home from the company. He is the supervisor of a supermarket, and during the day, in addition to busy with the instructions of the leader, he also has to manage the work of the human resources department under the payroll, benefits, employee relations and other modules.
The day is busy from beginning to end, busy every day, and the whole person is like a spinning top that spins at high speed without stopping.
Recently, the company's leaders have made plans again, and as soon as the leadership policy comes, subordinates become slaves, and dozens of people in the entire supermarket begin to turn around, busy before and after, all tired to only half a life.
After Wang Tianhu got home from work, he threw away his bag as soon as possible, fell on the sofa, and lay down comfortably.
"Turn on the TV and watch the show to relax ......"
People who are tired from daily work generally look forward to a relaxing program to relax their tense mood for the day, and Wang Tianhu is no exception.
Pick up the remote control, turn on the TV, flip back and forth, and subconsciously flip to Zhejiang Satellite TV and Dragon TV, which are mainly entertainment......
Basically, he basically doesn't watch those TV channels that broadcast intrigues, even "Legend of the Tang Dynasty", which has been praised countless times.
Working during the day is tired enough, Wang Tianhu doesn't want to continue to be tired after returning home, so his favorite is those shows that are a little white, relaxed, and funny, even if it is a particularly white TV series, he can still watch it very happily.
Zhejiang Satellite TV happened to be broadcasting an advertisement, Wang Tianhu quickly changed the TV station to Dragon TV, and what caught his eye was a TV series, which was a wedding scene.
A priest stood in the middle of a crowd of newcomers and said to a girl below: Your eyes are clear and beautiful; Your hands are gentle and delicate; Your heart is crystal clear. You are my life partner. Let me be your man, okay?
Wang Tianhu's mind was involuntarily confused, aren't you a priest? Isn't it officiating at a wedding? How did you show love to other girls?
However, the next dialogue almost didn't choke Wang Tianhu, who was drinking water.
I saw the girl answer: Your arms are powerful; Thy breasts are broad and majestic; Your skin is invulnerable......
Wang Tianhu's face was black, and the word ...... That's what the hell is that......
But at this time, Wang Tianhu had been attracted to it and began to pay full attention to it.
The camera on the TV quickly jumps to the other
