Chapter 130: Luo Jin's Worries (Ask for the First Order)
As the days passed, except for occasionally caring about the progress of the brokerage turmoil and the operation of Shuguang.com, Lin Yuquan devoted all his attention to the filming of "I Am a Special Soldier" and the conception of the script of the new film.
Even at the award ceremony of the 11th Huabiao Awards held in Kyoto on August 28, he did not rush back to participate, this Huabiao Awards, he was the only one in the entire "Huo Yuanjia" crew who was shortlisted for the Outstanding Newcomer Actor and Actress Award, but no one could threaten him in this award, and finally Chang Jihong accepted the award instead of him.
As time passed, the August storm that had affected the entire brokerage industry over the past two months gradually subsided. In this reshuffling pattern, the hard-hit Huayi brothers slipped off the throne of the king, and could only sit in the second position aggrievedly, watching the Orange Sky Brokerage, which stepped on its own position, leapt to become the leading boss of the mainland star brokerage company, replacing its previous position.
However, unlike the Huayi Brothers, although Orange Sky Brokerage has become the new leader, the gap between it and the Huayi Brothers is not too wide. Huayi Brothers finally succeeded in retaining Li Binbin, Fan Binbin and others after paying a great price, despite the decline in strength, they still have enough strength to threaten the status of Orange Sky Brokerage, and then count the steady development of the Yuquan family, forming a three-legged situation, jointly dominating the domestic brokerage industry.
"Yuquan, come out quickly, the TV is about to start, what are you still doing slowly." Wang Luodan's voice came from the living room.
"Okay, right away." Lin Yuquan put the newspaper in his hand on the table, got up and walked out of the room, and saw that the sofa next to Luo Jin was empty, so he walked over quickly: "What's the matter, it looks absent-minded." ”
"Ah, it's a rain spring. I'm fine. Hearing someone talking to him in his ear, Luo Jin, who was looking down and meditating, looked to the left of his side in panic and found that it was Lin Yuquan. He smiled reluctantly, but his expression still looked unrelenting.
"It's a good thing I didn't have your role today. Otherwise, how will you shoot in your current state, what, are you worried about the premiere of "Happiness Like Flowers" for a while? Lin Yuquan patted him on the shoulder.
Due to the premiere of the TV series tonight, after the crew finished work and had dinner, everyone came to the hotel room where he lived, because he was the only one in the entire crew who lived in a high-end suite, which could accommodate everyone to watch the TV series together.
"Hmm." Luo Jin nodded, watching the development of Liu Yifei, Jiang Yan and other friends flourish in the past two years. He could only stay in the classroom, although he didn't usually say it, but he wanted to succeed more than anyone else.
Since the year before last in the first TV series of his acting career "The Story of the Sales Office" cameo as a farmer Ali, "Happiness Like Flowers" is the second TV series he starred in after two years, but unlike the last time when it was only a temporary cameo for three minutes, although he is not the leading actor this time, he is the heaviest supporting actor in the play, as long as the TV series is successful and the role he plays can be brilliant, he can really gain a foothold in the entertainment industry. Because of this. For the premiere in the evening, he was very concerned and nervous.
"Don't worry, though I'm just like you. I haven't watched the edited version of "Happiness Like Flowers", but I am very confident in the quality of the series, after all, our TV series is arranged to be broadcast in the evening prime time of four provincial satellite TVs such as Kyoto Satellite TV and Suzhou Satellite TV, what is the prime time, that is the most valuable time period of the TV station, most of the advertising revenue of the TV station is generated during this time period, because the episodes broadcast during the period are very limited, so the TV station is cautious when choosing dramas. There is no room for negligence, and it can be seen from here that the TV station attaches great importance to our TV series. Also, I didn't tell you before. The premiere of this TV series sold 700,000 per episode, 700,000, which is definitely the highest grade in China, since the TV station is willing to buy it at such a high price, it must be because we think that the quality of our dramas is outstanding. When it comes to the price of the premiere, Lin Yuquan is full of pride.
People who are not mixed in the TV drama circle may find it difficult to have an intuitive feeling of this price, but you must know that the current general premiere price of domestic TV dramas is only more than 100,000 or 200,000, and only a very few high-quality dramas can reach 450,000 per episode, and when you compare the two, you can immediately understand how high the price of 750,000 is.
In fact, such a high price was only the handiwork of the wealthy CCTV in the past when it bought the premiere rights of large-scale martial arts mythological film and television dramas, and if it were not for the implementation of the four-star policy of one drama last year, Kyoto Satellite TV, Suzhou Satellite TV and other provincial satellite TV would have the strength to compete with CCTV after the strong combination, and "Happiness Like Flowers" wanted to sell at this price unless it was sold to CCTV.
Speaking of which, the reason why "Happiness Like Flowers" can sell at such a high price is also related to the recent storm of exclusive broadcasting rights that is being set off in the field of TV dramas.
Previously, due to CCTV's strong strength, in the competition with local TV stations, it was often able to grab the premiere rights of many popular dramas with strong capital, such as this year, CCTV bought the premiere of dramas such as "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", "Bright Sword", "Eighth Route Army", "Da Song Ti Criminal Officer" and other dramas, with these high-quality dramas, CCTV's ratings share has risen all the way and has achieved huge returns.
But because it was only the premiere, it also made CCTV suffer heavy losses, so CCTV took the lead in implementing "solo dramas" after the first launch of the "premiere rights" in China, and after buying out the Korean drama "Miss Mermaid" and "Watch and Watch", it aimed at domestic dramas this summer, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money for this, as long as it is a well-made domestic TV series, CCTV will spend a lot of money to buy out its broadcast rights, so that the audience can only see it on one or eight sets of CCTV, and other channels are prohibited from broadcasting.
Prior to this, CCTV had successively bought out two heavyweight domestic dramas, "Jinghua Yanyun" and "Baolian Lantern", of which the price of the exclusive broadcast rights of "Jinghua Yanyun" reached 730,000 yuan for a single episode, with a total price of 35 million, and the price was very amazing.
These two dramas, "Baolian Lantern" and "Happiness Like Flowers" will be broadcast in the prime time of the National Day, and "Jinghua Yanyun" will take over "Baolian Lantern" and start broadcasting at the end of October.
It is no exaggeration to say that from now until November, it is likely to be a turning point for domestic TV dramas, and what determines the turning point is the broadcast of "Baolian Lantern" and "Jinghua Yanyun".
At this stage, CCTV intends to try solo dramas, while some other powerful local TV stations are waiting.
Once the ratings of "Baolian Lantern" and "Jinghua Yanyun" are high and the advertising fee income is high, then CCTV will undoubtedly increase the promotion of solo dramas, and in order to grab the exclusive broadcast rights of high-quality domestic dramas, perhaps even the high-quality boutique dramas that are being filmed or have not yet been filmed will be tried all in one go, as for other powerful provincial TV stations, such as Xiangnan Satellite TV and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, they will follow closely to compete with CCTV.
At that time, an era of competition for high-quality solo TV dramas will officially begin.
It is precisely because of this special period, because the quality of "Happiness Like Flowers" is very outstanding, and they have not yet made up their minds, but they are unwilling to give up such a good drama, Kyoto Satellite TV, Su Province Satellite TV, Sanjin Satellite TV, and Beihe Satellite TV will join forces to buy the drama at a price of 20,000 per episode higher than "Jinghua Yanyun".
However, in Lin Yuquan's view, just like the popularity of solo dramas in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, the trend of solo dramas in China is also irreversible, after all, although the price of solo dramas is slightly higher, its advantages are also obvious.
In fact, although it is still in a special period, CCTV and Xiangnan Satellite TV, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV have been in contact with Shuguang Film Company, intending to win the "I Am Special Forces" they are now filming, and they are very optimistic about this TV series.
Lin Yuquan told Ding Wei not to worry, and to talk about it after the dust settles on "Jinghua Smoke Cloud" and "Baolian Lantern", which will undoubtedly sell at a more lucrative price.
"Whew." Hearing Lin Yuquan say this, Luo Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and then asked curiously: "Yuquan, what do you say the ratings of our TV series can be?" ”
"I can't guess this, after all, "Happiness Like Flowers" is broadcast simultaneously on four TV stations, broadcast on different channels, its ratings must be different, and there are too many ratings constraints for a TV series, not a simple link between quality and ratings, so it is very difficult to guess, mainly depending on the audience's love for the series, but our TV series broadcast schedule is good, there should be one or two TV stations with ratings breaking 5." Lin Yuquan didn't answer directly, because he didn't deliberately study the ratings of the TV series, he didn't know much about it.
"It would be nice if all four satellite TV ratings could break 5." Luo Jin said expectantly.
"Four satellite TVs broke 5, do you really dare to think that the most popular TV series this year do not have this kind of ratings." Lin Yuquan shook his head, it's not that he doesn't have confidence in the quality of the series, it's just that "Happiness Like Flowers" was broadcast simultaneously on four TV stations, and the premiere was too scattered, and it was too difficult to achieve this.
"What are you two talking about?" Wang Luodan had already noticed the situation of the two, and seeing Lin Yuquan shaking his head, he asked out loud. ,
With her questioning, Zhu Yawen, Huang Bo, Liu Ye, and Liu Meng also looked over. (To be continued)
