Chapter 352: The Challenges of 2010

Whether it is Chu Shi or Fan Bingling, they are eager to get a share of the 'weekend prime time' from the hands of Blueberry Channel, so that with a share of Mango Channel, Dimension Entertainment Company and Ice World Entertainment Company can produce two high-quality TV series every year.

For the two companies, it is tantamount to a step to the sky, and it is very likely that with these two shares, they will officially become a well-known storage company in the Chinese TV drama production company, and with this foundation, the future development will be more convenient.

But helplessly, such a share is too small, and no TV station has too much share in its hands, even if it is constantly arguing, in the end, Chu Shi and Fan Bingling did not get their wish.

However, the second season of "The Voice of China" and the new variety show in Chu Shi's hands are too tempting, in order to be able to win these two excellent variety shows, Blueberry TV is also willing to be slaughtered, and finally promised Chu Shi and Fan Bingling The benefits are also quite considerable.

Blueberry TV promised that since 2010, it is willing to give Dimension Entertainment Company and Ice World Entertainment Company a share of TV dramas in an ordinary time period, which means that in addition to a large-scale TV series on Mango Channel, Dimension and Ice World Entertainment Company can also bring a TV series that does not cost very much, and at the same time expand the company's business, they can also recruit personnel and teams.

There are many small TV drama companies in the entertainment industry, basically there is only one ordinary TV station, and the share of TV dramas broadcast during ordinary time is also the foundation of any TV drama company, and it is their most precious treasure, in this regard, Chu Shi and Fan Bingling's harvest is also good.

However, whether it is Chu Shi or Fan Bingling, after holding the weekend prime time share of Mango Channel, the first local station in the mainland, has a higher vision, and they are not very satisfied with the conditions promised by Blueberry Channel.

This can be clearly seen from the cost of making zuò!

Weekend prime time is the most precious time period for every TV station, and it is the dream position of all excellent TV drama producers, but in addition to being precious, such a position also has clear restrictions.

The cost of producing a TV series must reach at least 1 million per episode to be eligible to be ranked in the weekend prime time of major TV stations, and the specific figures of each TV station are slightly different, but there is not much difference, even if it is the weekend prime time of the TV station with the lowest ratings, it will require at least 800,000 yuan per episode of investment.

is like today's Mango Channel, because of the emergence of the two popular TV series "The Inheritors" and "Rouge Snow", this standard has been raised a lot, and now at the highest time, the production cost of an episode of the TV series is less than 1.5 million, and it is impossible to appear on the weekend prime time of Mango Channel!

You must know that Chu Shi's requirements for the TV series "The Inheritors" are quite high, but it is only equivalent to 1.5 million per episode, which can be seen!

For example, Blueberry Channel, because of the popularity of "Voice of China", has improved its ratings base a lot, and now Blueberry Channel's weekend prime-time TV series is also 1.2 million per episode.

Of course, if Blueberry TV is willing to give Chu Shi a share, then the cost of the new TV series produced by Chu Shi will definitely not be lower than this number, but the problem is that there are many rich people and the share of TV series broadcast is scarce, and it is not so simple to get this precious share.

And TV dramas in ordinary time periods are inferior to several levels above the production standard! The average bottom line of major TV stations is only 30% of the prime time on weekends! You only need to invest 300,000 per episode.

Even Mango Channel, the first place to watch TV series, has only four or five hundred thousand episodes of ordinary TV dramas, and it can be seen from this aspect that the investment in TV dramas in ordinary time periods is really not much.

There is not much investment, mainly because the ratings base of this time period is not high, and there were once people who wanted to rely on such a position to produce popular TV dramas, but the final result was that a lot of money was invested, and the results of the TV series were not bad, but in the end it was still a loss-making business, and because of this, other TV drama makers were also honest.

Since you only got the broadcast share of the ordinary time period, let's make a TV series with ordinary quality!

As a result, the quality of TV dramas broadcast during ordinary time is not high, and the lineup is not strong, which is tantamount to a shameful chicken rib for many TV drama companies that take the 'boutique route'.

Only those small companies that only have one or two shares of ordinary TV dramas, and super large companies that can shoot TV dramas of any size, will chase after it.

The current plan of Dimension Entertainment and Ice World Entertainment Company is to take the boutique route, and the scale of the company is far beyond that of small companies, but it is far from reaching the 'big and small' super-large TV drama company, and it is indeed quite helpless to get such a share.

Naturally, Chu Shi and Fan Bingling would not give up, and they also launched a fierce negotiation with Blueberry Channel.

In the end, it was naturally Blueberry that made a concession!

Although he still did not hand over the precious 'golden file share' directly to Chu Shi and Fan Bingling, he also gave Chu Shi and the two of them a chance to win this 'golden file share' with their own efforts and strength!

Whether it is the share of prime time or the share of ordinary file, it is the foundation of a TV station, although it was promised to partners at the beginning, but this kind of cooperation is not absolute.

If a partner of a TV station loses its ability to produce TV dramas for various reasons, all the works produced are shoddy, which will greatly reduce the quality of TV dramas broadcast by TV stations, so it will be an extremely heavy blow to the TV station itself, so the major TV stations have set up their own systems and imposed certain restrictions on partners.

First of all, major companies are not allowed to transfer their share of TV dramas to other companies, and the company must independently carry out the production of TV dramas.

Ten years as the boundary! If any collaborator in the process of cooperating with the TV station has accumulated two times and ranked first in the ratings of all the weekend prime-time TV drama competitors of the station, or has accumulated four times in the top three, the TV station has the right to withdraw the share of the TV drama system held by the company on the premise of having a better partner.

After all, a TV station, at best, is a prime-time TV series with six works in a year, which is extremely precious, and it is counting on the results of these TV series, so that on the one hand, it can make the collaborators have a sense of crisis and improve the level of the TV drama system, on the other hand, it is also to guard against the inaction of the company, or the level of decline.

Mango Channel also has restrictions in this regard, but both Chu Shi and Fan Bingling firmly believe that it is impossible for them to lose their precious share of the TV drama system in their hands because of this.

How is it possible to accumulate two first-to-last finishes, or four top-three finishes? The positive number is about the same!

As for Blueberry Channel, Chu Shi also conducted an investigation before, and now in Blueberry Channel, there are really two cooperative TV drama production companies, which have stepped on, or are about to step on, on this 'danger line'!

One of the TV drama production companies, in the five years of cooperation with Blueberry Channel, has accumulated one penultimate first, two penultimate third, according to Blueberry Channel's regulations, one penultimate is converted into two penultimate top three, this TV drama production company has obviously stepped on this line, Blueberry TV can revoke the 'prime time share' in the hands of this company at any time!

The other company is very, very dangerous, although they have been cooperating for six years, and the TV series they produced in the past few years have also achieved very good results, but since 2008, the company's ace TV drama director has had a conflict with the company's senior management, and after being transferred to a top entertainment company, this company has no TV drama director who can handle it.

In 2008, it won the penultimate result in the prime file of Blueberry Channel, and this year it was because of the blow of competitors that caused a very strict loss of talent, although there are still two months left to be the new year, but the penultimate throne has also been in their pockets.

Next year, if this company does not have a great opportunity and develops rapidly, basically the top three positions are inseparable from them, so that Blueberry Station will have a prime position vacant.

In this way, Blueberry Station has two prime file shares, just one for Chu Shi and Fan Bingling, which is why the two made up their minds to negotiate with Blueberry Station in the first place.

And in the end, after some negotiation between Chu Shi and Fan Bingling, it was finally finalized that in the next three years, if any of the ordinary TV series produced by Dimensional Entertainment Company and Ice World Entertainment Company can rank first in the ratings among many ordinary TV series on Blueberry Channel, then the ordinary file share can be directly changed to the prime file share, although it is quite risky, but in the end, Chu Shi and Fan Bingling can only agree - hope, better than no hope, right?

You must know that other entertainment companies, even if they are old friends who have cooperated with Blueberry TV for many years, do not have a 'first' for three or five years, and they don't want to get a precious share of the prime time, Chu Shi and Fan Bingling are also quite satisfied with such a result.

Although according to the senior management of Blueberry Channel, among their collaborators, there are also many powerful 'ordinary TV drama production companies', but Chu Shi and Fan Bingling are still full of confidence and are ready to meet the new challenges in 2010! R1152
