Chapter Seventy-Three: Tiga Starts Broadcasting!
86_86827There is only one TV station that agrees to Bai Sitang's request.
That is, Apple TV.
Apple TV, in China, belongs to the bottom of the national coverage of the TV station. It has been tepid, with no signs of rising.
And the newly appointed director of Apple TV, Fangzheng. is a man with great ambitions.
He was unwilling to be at the bottom all the time, so after taking over Apple TV, he began to carry out a series of reforms. Hopefully, Apple TV will get a new look.
And at this time, 'Ultraman Tiga' appeared, although he had not yet seen the true face of 'Tiga'. But from the current popularity of 'Tiga'.
and his own intuition, all point out one point, that is, this drama is likely to be popular.
So he eliminated many objections in the station, made a desperate bet, and decided to win the exclusive broadcast rights of 'Ultraman Tiga'.
And today, Bai Sitang will personally discuss the matter of 'Ultraman Tiga' with him.
Fang Zheng is a very energetic person, so when Bai Sitang saw him for the first time. If it weren't for his appearance, it would be possible to mistake him for a young man.
It's really sharp, without a trace of restraint. There are only two possibilities for this kind of person to be the director, the first is to have a strong backer.
And then there's its own power!
Otherwise, there is no way to mix in this society that favors people.
Bai Sitang didn't know which category Fang Zheng belonged to, but it could be seen from the conversation that this middle-aged man was definitely not a mediocre person.
Fang Zheng asked
"How's the review of Ultraman Tiga going?"
"Almost, it can be over in a few days at most." Bai Sitang nodded in response.
"I want to ask a question, and you must answer me sincerely."
Bai Sitang looked at Fang Zheng with a stern face and said, "If it doesn't involve privacy and private issues, it's naturally fine." ”
It is naturally impossible for Fang Zheng to ask this kind of question, asked
"I want to ask you what you think of Ultraman Tiga?"
This is a difficult question to answer, which can be answered from any angle, but the answer may not be satisfactory to Founder.
Bai Sitang shrugged his shoulders and said
"No matter how you look at it, it's beautiful. Or conversely, no matter how you look at it, you are optimistic. ”
Fang Zheng spoke very straight, which made Bai Sitang a little uncomfortable, to people of their level, Bai Sitang really saw such a straight personality for the first time, and even gave people a feeling of flute.
"So what's your biggest basis?"
"The biggest basis? Do you need to ask more? The biggest basis is, of course, 'Tiga' itself. ”
After speaking, Bai Sitang opened his mouth again, "Okay, you asked about the same thing." Now it's time to talk about what happened between us. ”
Fang Zheng wanted to say something, but when he saw Bai Sitang say this, he didn't want to interject, and said, "You say." ”
"With all due respect, I can't accept the price of 200,000 per episode offered by your Apple TV. Also, I need more time slots. ”
"In addition to the prime time slot from 7 to 8 o'clock in the evening, there is also 12:30 in the afternoon, and I will also take it down at 1:30 o'clock."
Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "200,000 yuan is already the largest budget of our station, and the prime time from 7 to 8 o'clock is already my biggest authority." ”
"Half past twelve, and I can't solve it at half past one."
Bai Sitang said with a slight smile
"You can."
Fang Zheng was about to say something, but was interrupted by Bai Sitang
Bai Sitang continued: "I learned a very interesting thing from He Linsen. That is, if you want to harvest more, you first need to cast a bigger bait. Of course, the hook should also be tougher, and I think 'Tiga' should be a good one. ”
Although Fang Zheng has a straight personality on the surface, it doesn't mean that he is really stupid and his head can't turn.
On the contrary, this is a very cunning person who is very good at hiding himself.
Fang Zheng asked, "And what about this bait?" ”
"I'm not going to charge you directly."
"It's based on grades. If Tiga's ratings break 3%, you'll pay me a total of 10.4 million at the price of 200,000 per episode. ”
"However, I don't like this money. My goal is at a higher level, if the ratings break 5%, you will have to pay me 26 million at the price of 500,000 per episode. ”
"Starting with 5 percent, you need to pay me an extra 100,000 yuan for each additional percent."
Fang Zheng nodded and asked, "What about less than 3%?" ”
Bai Sitang took a sip of the fruit wine in the transparent goblet and said coolly
"I'm sorry, I didn't think about that. If the ratings of 'Tiga' can't even break 3%, then you should treat it as an ownerless thing. ”
"Oh, yes, there's another one. If Tiga's ratings break 5%, then you have to give up to Tiga during the time period from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. ”
Fang Zheng pondered for a while, smiled, nodded and said, "No problem, I can call the shots about this." ”
It's a win-win situation, and if 'Tiga' really achieves such a good result, then the price offered by Bai Sitang is not excessive, and even has a bit of a cheap feeling.
He really couldn't think of any reason to refuse.
Bai Sitang and Fang Zheng, in the presence of lawyers from both sides, signed the contract.
Nowadays, because it often involves some legal things, and Bai Sitang does not have an agent to help him solve these trivial matters, he can only solve it himself.
The matter of Ultraman Tiga has been settled.
The TV station was identified as 'Apple TV'.
The exclusive right to broadcast on the network was given to Qiandu Video Network.
In terms of the surrounding area, the factory has already started operating. At present, a large number of finished products have been stored in the warehouse, and after the popularity of Tiga, it will start to be sold online through the official website of Guò!
After waiting patiently for a few days, finally, 'Ultraman Tiga' really passed the review of the Ministry of Culture.
Apple TV began to prepare for the premiere of Tiga, and the whole TV station made a lot of commercials, and the cool trailer of Tiga not only attracted the attention of children. At the same time, it also attracts the attention of young people and adults.
Thanks to Bai Sitang playing the leading role, 'Tiga' also has a lot of female fans...
After constant publicity, Tiga's popularity has risen to its peak!
Almost most people in China know about the existence of 'Ultraman Tiga', and many of them say that they have a lot of interest in 'Tiga' and will choose to watch it when the time comes.
Bai Sitang's push blog, the origin of the 'Breaking the Sky' storytelling area, 'Big Laughing Workshop' and even 'Sling Men' have a lot of advertisements.
It is worth mentioning that 'Breaking the Sky' is about to come to an end, and this classic is finally coming to an end.
However, Bai Sitang obviously didn't want it to end so simply, as early as the beginning of the serialization, Bai Sitang began to imagine that it would be adapted into an anime.
At that time, it did not have the strength to adapt, but now, it is different.
As long as 'Ultraman Tiga' is successful and the surrounding area brings a lot of income, Bai Sitang will have enough capital to produce a CG blockbuster-level 'Breaking the Sky' anime!
Bai Sitang has reached out to several well-known screenwriters and asked them to start helping them try to make an adaptation.
Bai Sitang, together with Zheng Xing, Fang Zheng and others, sat on the chair and began to prepare to wait for the ratings of Ultraman Tiga!
By 6:57, there were already countless people sitting in front of the TV and tuning the channel to Apple TV.
Although 'Ultraman Tiga' hasn't started yet, it can already be seen that the ratings are rising... It has risen from 0.6 to 1.2.
As one of the worst TV stations, Apple TV, the average rating has not yet exceeded one percent!
This is also an important reason why Fang Zheng heard Bai Sitang's conditions and agreed to it.
Feng Yaer, **, Lin Hong, and other people in the crew were in their own homes, sitting on the sofa, sitting in front of the TV, waiting for Tiga to start.
Fans of 'Tiga' have also started tuning the channel to Apple TV.
The online version is one day behind the TV station, so if you want to see 'Ultraman Tiga' for the first time, you have to turn on the TV...
Today, countless parents have found that their children seem to have finished their homework early, grabbed the remote control, and tuned to Apple TV to wait for 'Ultraman Tiga' to start.
Not only children, but also many young people who don't usually watch TV, also put down the mouse in their hands and sat on the soft sofa waiting for the start of 'Ultraman Tiga'
Finally, the time arrived at 7:00
The passionate singing of "Miracle Reappearance" began to rise, and countless people looked at the wonderful pictures that kept flashing at the beginning of the film with curious eyes, looking forward to the plot of "Tiga".
"Look at the ratings!"
Bai Sitang and the others set their sights on the ratings
It starts at seven o'clock sharp
Ratings skyrocketed!
1.2….1.6… 1.9…
Fang Zheng shouted excitedly, "Broken 2!" Broken 2. ”
Ratings continue to skyrocket!
