"Mr. Zhang, hello, let me introduce myself, I am the editor-in-chief of a set of CCTV programs, and is responsible for introducing and promoting all kinds of programs where a set of CCTV is located."

Meng Qi's image is different from many government workers Zhang Ning knows, Meng Qi is very thin, and Meng Qi is very tall. He is already very thin, and with such a tall height, it shows Meng Qi's thinness.

"Hello, Mr. Meng."

Zhang Ning was neither polite nor cold, but just shook hands with Meng Qi superficially.

probably saw that Zhang Ning didn't have any feelings for their CCTV, Meng Qi was a little embarrassed, but still said, "I'm sorry to disturb Mr. Zhang's precious time." I'll say it directly, this time I came, in fact, we CCTV are very optimistic about Mr. Zhang's shot of you from the stars, about the sample film of this drama, we also watched it, it's very good, so, we CCTV plan to buy your premiere rights from the stars. ”

"Premiere rights."

Zhang Ning shook his head, "I'm sorry, we have always cooperated with Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV before, and this time the premiere right, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV also made it clear that they want to win it." ”

"I know that with the quality of Mr. Zhang's film and television, and Mr. Zhang's brand, I believe that not only Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV want, I am afraid, any domestic TV station, they will want this premiere right. It's just that, Mr. Zhang, as far as I know, your company has not signed a contract with Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV. ”

"It seems that CCTV's ability to find out the news is good, but even so, if nothing else, we will cooperate with Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV. I'm really embarrassed to let Mr. Meng run for nothing. ”

"It seems that Mr. Zhang has a deep prejudice against our CCTV."

Meng Qi probably found something and said.

"Not really."

Zhang Ning shook his head, "I just don't believe that CCTV is willing to broadcast a drama like this one I filmed." Mr. Meng Qi, I don't know if you have watched the TV series I made, this is an urban fantasy film that violates common sense and science. ”

You from the stars are actually an urban romance movie, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an urban fantasy film.

Or, he can also call it a science fiction film.

In short, he is not an orthodox urban romance.

CCTV, which has always been a domestic vane, how could he broadcast such a film?

"Mr. Zhang said with a smile, it was precisely because we watched Mr. Zhang's film that we made the decision to buy. Although, as Mr. Zhang said, this is indeed an urban blockbuster. It's just that maybe Mr. Zhang doesn't know. The state and government have become more and more open to people's intelligence, culture, and speech. If the black/channel film you shot before can be played, it can already be seen that the state has greatly relaxed the review in this regard. I also hope that Mr. Zhang will not interpret CCTV too much. ”

"Oh, it seems that CCTV is really moving forward with the times."

Zhang Ning was a little taken aback.

This Meng Qi has some ability, and his eloquence is not bad, so Zhang Ning doesn't know how to refute it.

"Let Mr. Zhang smile."

"Well, Mr. Meng, you have a point. But you haven't convinced me yet, and I can give you a reason to convince me now. If you can convince me, then I can promise to sell the premiere rights to you CCTV. ”

"Great, I know that Mr. Zhang is not the kind of person who can't listen to anything."

Actually, there are many reasons to say it. Regarding CCTV's brand and CCTV's ratings, he has always been the first in China, which is not comparable to local TV stations. Even the most popular local TV stations cannot be compared with the coverage of CCTV. If your company's TV series can land on CCTV, it will greatly improve both the ratings and the influence of your company's TV series. ”

It's a pity that Zhang Ning didn't know whether he could say anything about this, he just sat on the side, that is, he didn't nod or shake his head.

Perhaps CCTV's ratings and influence do exceed those of other local satellite TVs, but this excess is also limited.

If it's an advertisement or something, it's okay to put it on CCTV.

But if it is a TV series, it may not be more popular on CCTV than other local TV stations.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Zhang Ning snorted.

Seeing that Zhang Ning didn't dare to be interested, Meng Qi was a little helpless, and his heart was also depressed.

Some other film and television companies are thinking of a way, whether they are going through the back door, relying on relationships, or directly using money, they also want to smash into CCTV. But Zhang Ning is good, and he has no interest in CCTV at all. It doesn't matter, in the face of Zhang Ning, they have no way to do it. If it's another company, if CCTV wants it, just say a word, I'm afraid I'll take it. One is that the other party is willing, and the other is that even if the other party is unwilling, they have to sell.

A tycoon like Zhang Ning, can they afford to mess with it?

Not to mention that he is a small editor-in-chief, even if the director of CCTV comes forward, it is not enough.

"Of course, this is just one of them."

Seeing that Zhang Ning didn't dare to be interested, Meng Qi changed his reasoning.

"Second, for the TV series you filmed, Mr. Zhang, we also decided that we are ready to buy your premiere rights from the stars at a price of 5 million per episode. At this price, I believe Mr. Zhang also knows that this is the highest in China. If you take 20 episodes of the show as a calculation, your company will make a profit of 100 million. If it is 40 episodes, the profit will reach 200 million. This is not only that, in addition to the increase in our premiere price, the rebroadcast rights of other local TV stations will also rise, based on industry experience, they can obtain a profit of 200 million-400 million, in addition, there are other overseas copyrights, in total, the profit of this TV series will reach about 800 million, which is definitely the most profitable TV series in China. ”

It's just that before Meng Qi finished speaking, Zhang Ning replied.

"Mr. Meng, do you think I am very short of money after I resigned from Penguin?"

With a glare, Meng Qi's heart was half cold.

Mistakes, mistakes.

It was a big mistake.

Talking to Zhang Ning about money, is it the wrong medicine?

The man in front of him is the richest man in the world, who can be richer than him.

is only a few hundred million yuan, Zhang Ning really doesn't pay attention to it.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I didn't mean that."

Hurriedly apologized to Zhang Ning, Meng Qi wiped his sweat and said, "In order to show the sincerity of our CCTV, Mr. Zhang, you don't make a condition." ”

"Oh, really?"

That's what I'm waiting for.

Zhang Ning smiled slightly, "Mr. Meng, I heard that someone said that no matter what conditions I offer, your TV station will accept it." ”

"As long as it is within a reasonable range, we at CCTV will absolutely accept it."

"Reasonable, reasonable."

Zhang Ning nodded.

"Your premiere copyright of 5 million from the stars is too little, I think, 20 million an episode is about the same."

"20 million."

Hearing this number, Meng Qi almost shook off.

"Yes, 20 million."

"This, this ......"

"Mr. Zhang, if the premiere right of 5 million is too little, we can add more. However, 20 million episodes. Don't say that we don't have this price in China, even if we put it abroad or in the world, we don't have this price. ”

"The price is all used to break, if you CCTV takes this price, it will not be an example to other countries. Perhaps, Mr. Meng Qi, you will feel that such a price is a little high. Actually, it's not that high. As you say, this price is for a reasonable period.

I'll settle an account for you, you from the stars invited two Korean movie stars, one is Lee Young-ae, the actor of Dae Jang Jin, and the other is Jun Ji-hyun, the actor of my sassy girlfriend. Whether it is Jun Ji-hyun or Lee Young-ae, they are very popular in the Asian market, and in order to invite them, we also spent a lot of money, and the contract signed with the two is that the price of each episode is 2 million yuan per person, and Lee Young-ae is not the main actor, a little less, and it also cost 1.5 million. Of course, there are other actors. However, because the other actors are not particularly well-known, the film chips are not high, but if you add them up, it is probably nearly 4 million episodes for the actors alone. ”

This is certainly blown.

Lee Young-ae and Jun Ji-hyun Although Zhang Ning is ready to spend money to sign them to make a film, but I don't know why, this time, the two of them refused to ask for money even if they died, and kept saying that if it weren't for Zhang Ning, there would be no them. If it weren't for Zhang Ning, they wouldn't have their current status. In the end, I didn't take a penny, and it was completely obligatory.

Zhang Ning is not a person who takes advantage, so he didn't agree, but he thought that the two might also be out of the psychology of repaying his kindness, so he accepted it.

However, it can't be regarded as a real blow.

The prices of the two popular Korean films cannot be low.

"Mr. Meng, do you think that Lee Young-ae and Jun Ji-hyun are not worth the price."

"This, it's worth, of course it's worth it."

Although Meng Qi was shocked by such a price in his heart, he had no choice but to smile and nod.

In any case, even if such a price is a little inflated, the two are indeed very famous in Asia, and the cost of signing the two should be indispensable.

However, Mr. Zhang, this is only 4 million episodes, plus some other costs. I've seen it, although this one you made is an urban ability film, the overall success is not high. There are a lot of shooting scenes, and it doesn't take much money at all. On our side of the budget, the cost of an episode is 5 million at most. We CCTV only buy the first broadcast rights, and if it is calculated at 5 million per episode, you will return the cost on the spot. Besides, in addition to us, after our CCTV premiere, you can also get Jiangsu and Zhejiang Guards, Mango TV...... and so on TV repeatedly. You can even get it online and sell it abroad......"

"Wait, wait, who said that our cost is only 5 million, Mr. Meng Qi, you are wrong again. The cost of actors actually only accounts for half of the cost of our entire show, and our other expenses are not a lot. Let's take the room where the female No. 1 Jun Ji-hyun was filmed, and we will rearrange this room. The daily necessities inside, including home appliances, are all world-class brands. Come, to show you, this is the world's top perfume, about 39,000 a bottle, this is a well-known cosmetics in France, the price is 55,000...... And that's just one of them. Let's take a look at the clothes worn by our actors, Mr. Meng Qi, maybe you don't know, these costumes of ours are not bought casually in the mall, we invited more than a dozen of Italy's top costume designers to personally design clothes for our actors. ”

Zhang Ning took out a notebook, one by one, and kept calculating.

"This is also the costume props used in the shooting, and in addition, the members of our crew, including the director, cameraman, lighting, stylist...... I didn't even count the cost of waiting. However, even so, we now have a cost of 13 million episodes. In addition, there is one that is missing. As the male protagonist of the play, that is, me, Mr. Meng Qi, you said, I will take 5 million for the filming of one episode, which is not much. ”

After all the calculations, Meng Qi, who was sitting on the side, was simply dumbfounded.

Loser, loser.

He really wants to say that he meows, and there is actually such a TV series.

It's just that in the face of Zhang Ning, he couldn't say a word.

Not only could he not say it, but he really felt that he had nothing to refute.

In Zhang Ning's words, this is very reasonable.

Indeed, it is very reasonable.

There are millions of stars alone, a series of other props, and a damn top Italian costume designer, so there is no reason why the cost of such a shoot is not high. What made Meng Qi even more unspeakable was Zhang Ning. Yes, he did miss Zhang Ning. Zhang Ning is the director and also the leading actor. As a world supertycoon, as a genius of the world's top idols, is the price of 5 million an episode too much? Not much, really not much, with Zhang Ning tens of millions of seconds per second, the price of 5 million per episode is really his grievance Zhang Ning.

"In other words, if you count the cost of being an actor as the male number one, the cost of each episode of our TV series has reached 18 million. Now it's sold to you at a price of 20 million per episode, which isn't too expensive. ”

Zhang Ning's face was extremely serious, but he was smiling and vomiting blood in his heart.

20 million episodes, if CCTV dares to pay for it, Zhang Ning will call him a local tyrant.

"18 million."

"Dizzy."

"Dizzy."

"I'm really dizzy."

Meng Qi only felt that the world was spinning, and he was about to fall.

If this is agreed, he will not stay in the position of editor-in-chief.

"It seems that Zhang always doesn't want to cooperate with our CCTV, well, in that case, we CCTV won't bother and say goodbye."

Knowing that there was nothing to say about staying here any longer, Zhang Ning made it clear that he didn't want to sell them CCTV.

"Hey, Mr. Meng Qi, don't go so fast, I think you can think about it."

Laughing in his heart, Zhang Ning wanted to continue to tease them.

"I think CCTV shouldn't pay too much attention to the price of a TV series. In my opinion, in addition to considering the profitability of its own TV station, CCTV must also be responsible for external publicity and showing Chinese culture to the outside world...... and so on. I think that when the Korean tide is increasingly flowing into China, we must take a shot of strength to develop and promote our Chinese culture and Chinese film and television works. Although the price of my drama is a little expensive, you get what you pay for, and if CCTV buys it, it will definitely not lose much. ”

"Moreover, Mr. Meng Qi, the competition of TV stations is becoming more and more fierce. Many local TV stations have openly called CCTV. Doesn't Mr. Meng Qi want to change something? ”

"I think it's time for CCTV to make some changes."

"If it remains unchanged, even if CCTV has a large share, it will be contested by other local TV stations in the future."
