Chapter 66: Ignoring the Beginning
Wang Zhongjun was very generous, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone in the crew was arranged to the banquet hall of the five-star hotel, and that night Shao Yingying and Feng Xiaogang watched the scene of the whole group's celebration like a celebration banquet, which did not disturb the atmosphere, simply, let the people in the group drink casually, the first day of junior high school had a day off, and the second year of junior high school resumed normal shooting.
The group of workers in "I Want to Be Famous" finally found a way to vent, and one by one vented all the tense emotions they had been tense for more than a month to alcohol.
After the meal, Wang Zhongjun opened a room in the hotel and called Shao Yingying and Feng Xiaogang with a red face, he had a big matter to discuss with these two people.
"A set of people are looking for me." Wang Zhongjun lit a cigarette and took a sharp puff, saying this sentence while spitting out blue disgust.
For Shao Yingying and Feng Xiaogang, this is not an uncommon thing, the national media has hyped "I want to be famous" to the current extent, and it is normal for a set to come to the door, so these two people did not speak, and looked at Wang Zhongjun one by one and waited for his next words.
"CCTV's offer is not low, and it is necessary to use 50 million to buy out the first round of broadcast rights of "I Want to Be Famous", on the condition that other stations have to broadcast the second round of broadcast rights during the broadcast, and only after the full episode is broadcast can this TV series be released."
Feng Xiaogang asked: "What about the advertising fee layer?" ”
“20%!”
Everyone knows that in the market of TV dramas, advertising fees have now become income that is not weaker than copyright, and CCTV is willing to give 20% of the promotion to Huayi. It shows that they are optimistic about this play.
Feng Xiaogang smiled, and when he returned to the TV drama market, the sponsorship fee alone reached an explosive number, not to mention, he even sold the sky-high first-round broadcast fee and got the advertising fee that broke the frame. That alone is something he can be proud of.
Shao Yingying said very blandly: "Mr. Wang refused? ”
When this sentence was said, Feng Xiaogang's face appeared in disbelief, he thought that this was impossible, and Huayi had no reason to refuse such a high price. But at this moment, Wang Zhongjun interjected, not only did he interject, Feng Xiaogang could also see that Wang Zhongjun seriously appreciated Shao Yingying!
"Refused. But it's not a complete rejection, the reason I found was that this TV series was too dangerous. It's better to wait for the trial before talking, otherwise once it is banned, Yu Shengli will have to sit on wax. ”
Seeing these two people playing dumb riddles, Feng Xiaogang didn't ask. He knows. Today, Wang Zhongjun dragged them to the hotel room for the New Year, and they definitely didn't want to fight the landlord, and they would have to talk about it later, so why should they talk too much?
Shao Yingying explained to Feng Xiaogang: "When Liu Dehua was banned for making movies and wireless confrontation, everyone said that his choice was wrong. But later Liu Dehua encountered "Extralegal Affair", "Mong Kok Carmen", and "Heavenly Love", which became popular all over the big screen in Hong Kong. Choice is the most important thing, with the popularity of "I want to be famous", it doesn't matter if CCTV is delayed. What's more, the reason that Mr. Wang found is reasonable. ”
Feng Xiaogang nodded, but still didn't speak. He didn't know much about the current TV drama market, so he didn't interject.
"Xiao Shao is right, in fact, as soon as the popularity of "I Want to Be Famous" came out, I didn't plan to be on the star!"
Shao Yingying didn't guess Wang Zhongjun's mind this time, being on the star is an affirmation of a TV series, and it also represents the status of the filmmaker in the industry, and Wang Zhongjun did the opposite, in case ......
"Loyal army, is there a greater profit?"
Feng Xiaogang knows Wang Zhongjun too well, if there is no greater profit in front of him, Wang Zhongjun will definitely not give up the opportunity to raise his value for Huayi, not to mention that this opportunity was personally brought back by Shao Yingying with "Blood Romance" and "Big Dyeing Workshop".
Stretched out his hand and pointed at Feng Xiaogang's Wang Zhongjun and said, "You still know me!" ”
"Sold to CCTV, 50 million is a profit, even if their advertising fee is over 200 million, I can get 40 million at most, plus the profit from the early sponsorship fee, I have to count the sale of the second round of copyright to make the total profit exceed 100 million, what a loss!"
The profit exceeded 100 million and even said that it was a loss!
Shao Yingying never thought that Wang Zhongjun would have such a big plan, no wonder he was willing to make a favor and contribute to this TV series, and even knew that inviting Shao Yingying's team to dinner would not be able to buy people's hearts.
"I'm going to ......," Wang Zhong began to sell Guanzi.
"Zhongjun, can you stop stretching it, my neck has to be straightened from the beginning, hurry up!" Feng Xiaogang was obviously a little impatient.
"I'm going to sell it in bulk!" Wang Zhongjun restrained the mystery he had created and said: "Now it is not a big deal for each TV station to spend 10 million to introduce a TV series, and the advertising profit of the eight o'clock file can reach 50 million even for the worst provincial station." If we can gather enough ten TV stations and let each TV station pay 10 million to buy the broadcast rights of this TV series, instead of broadcasting it exclusively, then the first round of broadcast rights can break 100 million! If you add 10% of the advertising fee to the layer, my ten TV stations can get 50 million advertising profits, and in the first round, I can earn 150 million!! ”
Shao Yingying was a little worried when he saw Wang Zhongjun's big appetite, if CCTV knew that Hua Yi planned to do this, it would be certain that the relationship would break down at that time, for the super profit of a drama, let go of the giant channel of CCTV, and in the end, it would be Hua Yi who would not lose?
"Mr. Wang, CCTV should be unhappy, right?" Shao Yingying asked.
Mr. Wang sneered and said, "I'm not happy yet!" I said that the total investment of this drama is 40 million, and there are countless favors, Yu Shengli actually told me to make a little less to facilitate long-term cooperation, he is a little addicted to using us as a merit book. Wang Zhongjun said with a degree of relaxation: "But I won't completely offend him, as long as the news of the trial comes down, I will talk to CCTV at that time, I don't want a penny of the first round of exclusive broadcast fees, I want him to raise 50% of the advertising costs, do you think CCTV will agree?" ”
"Since you don't agree, don't blame me for not cooperating with you, what should I do when the time comes!"
Shao Yingying didn't know what to say about Wang Zhongjun. After glancing at Feng Xiaogang, both of them were almost a little embarrassed to speak.
For the drama "I Want to Be Famous", it is possible to make up 10 million and 10% of the advertising profits of ten TV stations respectively. That's called an all-star cast, and that's called a super production that took a full 40 million shots. It's just that after these ten, will anyone buy the second round of broadcast rights? Even if it is bought, I am afraid that it will be to fill the garbage time in the daytime theater, and the price will definitely not be too high, and then the profits of the third round and audio-visual production rights will be so thin that there is no need to pay attention to it at all.
And CCTV is a partner that every company intends to cooperate with for a long time, as long as you Huayi don't put this film that will definitely grab ratings on CCTV. When the time comes, Yu Shengli may be the first to break with you Huayi.
Shao Yingying added: "Mr. Wang, are you thinking about this matter?" Liu Dehua did become popular on the big screen after leaving TVB, but don't forget the successful case of Liang Chaowei who chose to stay in TVB. Let's ......."
Feng Xiaogang also hurriedly said: "Zhongjun, this is indeed too risky, our company's TV drama department has just been in place for a year, didn't your decision cut off half of the channels of the TV drama department?" There is nothing wrong with businessmen seeking profit. You say so. Why do I always feel bottomless in my heart? ”
At this time, Feng Xiaogang had to say a few words for Shao Yingying, Shao Yingying had to rely on the TV drama market to eat, and he was one of the two wheels under Huayi's two carriages, you Wang Zhongjun did this not only for the sake of profit to break off the relationship between Huayi and Yiyi, but even Shao Yingying's studio is very likely to be unable to cooperate with CCTV in the future.
"So, I'll have to talk to you today, and that's what I think anyway, me. This head flipped the table with CCTV for profit, Shao Yingying, your studio can't let CCTV hate you. You have to hurry up and come up with a TV series, whether it's coaxing or smiling faces, after the broadcast of "I Want to Be Famous", give a set to beat the ratings back. Of course, the two of us have to act in a scene and let off the wind for the media, uh, let's just say that the two of us have completely broken up over this decision, so let's leave the line of easing relations first, and you will be a nail in the CCTV household, and when our TV drama department earns this more money, I will kowtow to him in Shengli when I turn around! ”
Shao Yingying thinks that Wang Zhongjun's heart is not full of eyes, not counting the maximization of profits, but even calculating all the resources inside and out, and being able to treat the boss as this part, you Wang Zhongjun can be regarded as the number one in the circle. You're smart, but you can't treat everyone as fools, you can't let me Shao Yingying carry everything alone, right? Feng Xiaogang went back to make a movie after filming this drama, who will clean up this mess when the time comes?
"Then what if Yu Shengli even holds a grudge against me?" Shao Yingying asked tentatively.
Feng Xiaogang turned his head and glanced at Shao Yingying, because this situation is not impossible to happen, who doesn't know that Shao Yingying is Huayi's most favored artist, the entire company except for him Feng Xiaogang and Wang Jinghua, Shao Yingying is in the limelight among the people who have only entered Huayi in recent years, and it is completely possible for Yu Shengli to hold a grudge against Shao Yingying at this time!
Wang Zhongjun pouted and said, "Don't we still have eight sets?" When the time comes, find the right opportunity, beat one set or two times, and then hit the channel back. ”
Hearing this, Shao Yingying was a little annoyed, and said angrily: "Mr. Wang, is it too much?" You made that money, I didn't get anything, I was left with a big red envelope, and I had to fake news with you, and I had to risk being rejected by CCTV to go to eight sets of channels, and you wanted everything and didn't worry about anything to let go, patronizing and being anxious with people. Turning my head and nodding at others, it's all my work alone? ”
"Look, what's the hurry? It's not like we're not doing anything right now, and we're still discussing. Wang Zhongjun began to say soft words, for the current Huayi, you can do without CCTV channels, or even without Wang Jinghua, but Shao Yingying and Feng Xiaogang, Wang Zhongjun, will not let go of any of them, and would rather put down the boss's shelf and bow his head slightly, and he has to hold these two people in his hands.
Feng Xiaogang eased the relationship on the side: "It's not so discussed, Zhongjun, you see that this matter is now for you to do, inside and outside is full of Xiao Shao's busyness, can he be happy!" ”
"It's not me talking about you, what's wrong with you selling TV series to CCTV to make less money? No one can be offended, don't you still have the second and third rounds of broadcasting rights and audio-visual products for you, at least Xiao Shao's studio doesn't have to follow the melons, and you don't have to be busy with people's eyes. ”
"Look, I didn't say anything." Wang Zhongjun hurriedly reassured: "My original plan was to share the extra profits with the two of you, and it's not easy for anyone to be busy during the New Year, not to mention that this is not a discussion." ”
Shao Yingying silently calculated the profit in his heart, and then said: "Mr. Wang, I can understand your thoughts, but we can't use the trick of blocking the back road for the sake of money, I know that the two distribution methods are likely to make the profit of a small investment TV series in the middle, this money looks like an eye-catcher, but will you offend CCTV for a small investment TV series?" ”
"I'm a little anxious, Mr. Wang, I apologize first, what is not enough, you have to include, if we don't have the channel of CCTV, everything goes without saying, with this channel, you can't do this, other companies are eyeing our CCTV relationship! I promise you, as long as this news spreads, it won't take long, and we don't plan to register a set of thresholds, do you believe it? Shao Yingying sighed and said: "Mr. Wang, as far as I know, Hai Yanke has just filmed a TV series with the same good quality called "Jade Guanyin", I heard Sun Li say, this TV series is not weak in terms of production level or team, and it is still played by Tong Dawei of our company, you can't know this news, right?" Whenever we do this, we don't have to be provoked, Hai Yan has to send this film to CCTV to fight with us, and give the opponent the channel for no reason, this is ......"
Wang Zhongjun didn't say anything, got up and said, "Then I'm thinking about it, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." When he walked to the door, he turned around and said, "By the way, Xiao Shao, if you think of any more suitable way to expand your profits, call me at any time, and we will discuss it at that time." ”
Shao Yingying watched Wang Zhongjun walk out of the room, turned his head and said to Feng Xiaogang, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with Mr. Wang?" How do you ...... now?" he glanced at the door and said, "What are you doing?" He shouldn't say this, especially not to Feng Xiaogang, but now it's different, Shao Yingying can't understand how Wang Zhongjun is becoming more and more confused in the company's decision-making, from his attitude towards Wang Jinghua to the current distribution strategy of "I Want to Be Famous", how can he be the same as a layman?
"Hey, he, it's been a bit of a mess lately, Wu Kebo's Excel Entertainment and Zhuang Liqi have cooperated."
Shao Yingying's eyes widened!
Wu Kebo, not to mention being a famous investor himself, also has the experience of wandering in the island country, and after achieving a certain degree of success in the island country, he returned to China to develop and found Excel Entertainment. At the same time, Wu Kebo is also the chief consultant of NEC mobile phones, but his circle of chief consultants is no smaller than that of the president of China, which is also the network he has accumulated in the island country.
Not to mention Zhuang Liqi, "Deep Love and Rainy" is the producer that he and Aunt Qiong Yao's daughter-in-law promoted and co-authored, Shao Yingying's "Bright Sword" was pressed at the beginning and couldn't raise his head, which is Zhuang Liqi's proud work!
These two people will also found Orange Tim Entertainment in 2005, when Wang Jinghua led more than 50 artists from Huayi Company to jump ship, so that Huayi only Fan and Li Yiyi were left to sing empty city plans! (To be continued......)
