165: Zhang Shilin helps
Wang Baolan's joining still made Wang Luo happy for a long time, and if the company wants to develop and grow, it is far from enough to rely on him alone. At present, in addition to Wang Luo, the absolute gold-absorbing machine, Xu Lin's gold-absorbing ability is also said in the past, although it is not much, but it can also bring a certain amount of income to the company.
Aliwen is still in the development period, the company has invested a lot, although two singles have been released, but it has not shown the popularity of Wang Luo and Xu Lin. It's not that the songs are not good, but compared to Wang Luo and Xu Lin, Aliwen debuted a little later and fell behind in many aspects.
Therefore, the current plan for Aliwen is to let her participate in some talent shows and show her face on TV first. If possible, Wang Luo will bring her to his next concert. It's just that Wang Luo's ambition is not on the concert side at present, and there are no concert plans in the short term.
In terms of director, Yang Yihu can now shoot independently, and Wang Luo is also very relieved of him. Now with the addition of Wang Baolan, Wang Luo plans to let them shoot Shunyo. Although this drama is not as popular as the soldier assault, the ratings are still high and scary when it premieres.
It's just that it is absolutely unrealistic for the company to have only one director, Yang Yihu, so while signing artists, Wang Luo is also seeking some directors to join.
Those big-name directors Wang Luo directly put them aside, and he couldn't sign them himself, and he couldn't afford to raise them. Therefore, this time the target is still young directors, who are around 40 years old and have experience in filming.
Next, Wang Luo called several other leading actors one by one and said that he wanted to sign a contract with them. It's just that the treatment can't be like Wang Baolan, but the lowest annual salary is also above one million. Some agreed directly, while others said they needed to think about it.
After doing this, Wang Luo began to write a smooth script, which was still the same routine as before. Write down the script according to the finished product first, and then do the summary of the storyboard.
Approaching the end of work, Wang Luo had already written the script for the first three episodes, and it was still early to watch it, and he was alone when he went home, so he simply decided to write more and go back.
And just when Wang Luo was about to continue writing, he unexpectedly received a call from Liu Shaochuan.
"It's amazing how you decided to choose that kind of theme. Although it is very eye-catching and has won the favor of CCTV, it is impossible for this kind of theme to compete with variety shows for ratings. As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Shaochuan said directly.
"What? Are you scared? Wang Luo didn't take Liu Shaochuan's words to heart at all, but he heard some meaning from his words, it seems that CCTV has decided to introduce "Survival in the Wilderness", which is definitely good news for Wang Luo.
"Hehe, I'm really scared, I'm just worried about you. There is no comparison between these two themes at all, are you sure you want to compare this with me? Liu Shaochuan smiled, seemingly concerned.
"Of course, I'm confident in my show." Wang Luo said confidently.
Anyway, it's also CCTV, as long as the program is a little better, there is no problem at all with the local station. After all, the ratings base is there, and some places may not receive local stations, but they can definitely receive CCTV. I just don't know which channel I'm fanciing to my show this time?
"Well, good luck. But there is one thing I have to tell you in advance, it is difficult for me to interject on the CCTV side, and I will try my best to do it, but it is difficult to say how. You're ready. Liu Shaochuan said.
"Yes." Wang Luo nodded.
Liu Shaochuan's reaction gave people a very strange feeling, obviously he was a competitor, maybe with Wang Luo's status, it was not enough for Liu Shaochuan to list him as an opponent.
But Liu Shaochuan did this, not only regarded Wang Luo as an opponent, but also gave Wang Luo a lot of help. At least, if no TV station makes a bid to buy Wilderness Survival in the end, perhaps Liu Shaochuan will arrange for Wilderness Survival to be broadcast within a certain period of time through his connections.
As for the price of "Survival in the Wilderness", Wang Luo is not worried about this. It doesn't matter how much you sell or how little you sell in China, Wang Luo doesn't care. If the price of an integrated cost of nearly two million is put on the table, it is estimated that many people will find it difficult to believe that Wang Luo will not care about the price. Unless he didn't even think about recovering the cost.
How much does an episode cost two million? Where is all this money spent? Lu Ming and the cameraman are paid 100,000 yuan, the director and the other three film crew members are paid 50,000 yuan, plus a five-person logistics team, these people are paid on a monthly basis, and the monthly salary is about 50,000 yuan.
According to the filming of an episode in January, the labor cost is a total of 450,000, so where is the remaining 1.55 million? The answer is simple, helicopter rental.
Although the helicopter cannot follow the filming, it needs to be on standby after returning to the base, and in the event of an accident in front of it, the helicopter must immediately rush to the rescue. And the helicopter rental is paid by the hour, and the cost of renting it directly for the next week is low enough.
Of course, Wang Luo didn't think about not recovering the cost. It's Wang Luo's nature of this show, Wang Luo is very confident in this show, and he also has great potential.
In fact, this is a global program, although the first three episodes were filmed in China, but for the audience, it doesn't matter where it was filmed, what matters is what they see.
In that world, wilderness survival has been broadcast in almost every country, even if it doesn't make money at home and sells the film abroad, Wang Luo can make a lot of money.
Next, Wang Luo didn't have the intention of writing the script, so he simply packed up his things and got up to go home.
Early the next morning, Wang Luo really received a message from Zhang Shilin. The Science and Education Channel intends to buy out the premiere rights of the first season for 2.4 million, with an average of 200,000 per episode. This price is only one-tenth of the cost of each episode, and the science and education channel is not the most ideal channel, but Wang Luo still agreed, and asked Wang Biwen to contact the people on CCTV to arrange the broadcast as early as possible.
On the side of Roselle Video, Wang Luo also asked people to be ready to push a short and one-minute advertisement. Just wait for Wang Biwen to negotiate with CCTV, and they will push advertisements.
