One episode of "low-cost martial arts drama", one episode of "Attack on Liu Bei".

The low-cost martial arts drama is to complain that the current martial arts drama is too shoddy, and the attacking Liu Bei is an allusion to complaining and spoofing Liu Bei's son.

After the two episodes were broadcast, the entire conference room was already full of laughter, and everyone laughed.

The women who laughed the most were those who watched the film, laughing so much that their stomachs hurt and had to cover their stomachs with their hands.

Zhao Xingchi and everyone else had laughed enough, then he walked to the front of the screen, turned around and said, "Everyone has finished watching it, what do you think?" ”

No one said anything, because the negotiations had not yet begun, and they could not reveal their will.

If you want to cover it up, you are talking about their current situation.

Zhao Xingchi was not surprised, so he was not disappointed, but clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Since everyone doesn't speak, then I'll talk about it." Our company only decided to sell the exclusive broadcast rights of "Never Expected". It's the first season, and I'm planning to shoot 15 episodes. In other words, which company we cooperated with in the first season, which company we also cooperated with in the second and third seasons after that. At the same time, we will cooperate with this company in all kinds of extras of "Never Expected", and even the possible TV version and movie version in the future, do you hear clearly? ”

only sells exclusive broadcast rights, and the faces of the major video sites who heard this fact were a little unhappy.

However, as soon as Zhao Xingchi's two packaging conditions were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up, their spirits were lifted, and they straightened their backs and responded: "Mr. Zhao, this can be had, this can be had." ”

Only sells exclusive broadcast rights, although they are still interested, but not very interested.

However, when the whole N seasons are packaged and sold, they are very interested, because this is a complete gold mine, ready to be produced, and can greatly cultivate a loyal fan audience.

After that, they were even more interested in various side cooperation, even the TV version and the movie version, because it meant that they could also get involved and get a piece of the pie.

Looking at the current TV series and film market, it is completely the operation of various copyrights, and a mature channel has developed between them.

The hit TV series was adapted into a movie, and the trend of high ratings entered the big screen of the movie, and most of the box office was a blockbuster.

The blockbuster movie was adapted into a TV series, and the box office blockbuster was used to conquer the TV drama market, and the ratings were mostly super high.

Even TV shows can be turned into TV series and movies, which are still very successful in ratings and box office.

There is already a precedent for the adaptation of online dramas into TV series, and TV series are popular.

Although there is no precedent for an online short drama to be adapted into a movie, judging by the current trend, the period is not far off.

It can be said that the proposal thrown by Stephen Zhao is even more attractive to them as those in the industry who are mixed between the Internet and the entertainment industry than Stephen Zhao's fame.

Stephen Zhao smiled, and was very clear about their thoughts, so he then said: "Well, the bidding for the exclusive broadcast rights of "Never Expected" will start now, the one with the highest price will win, fair, open and just, on-site bidding, and the results will be known on the spot." ”

Hu Youwei, the person in charge of Doutu.com, raised his hand and said, "Mr. Zhao, can the bidding be changed to the afternoon?" ”

Zhao Xingchi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what was going on, but he didn't answer directly, but looked at the person in charge from other websites: "What do you mean?" ”

"I don't think it's necessary." One of them said lightly.

Zhao Xingchi glanced at this person, it was the person in charge of the crooked network, named Chang Shenkai, and couldn't help thinking: "Sure enough, the wealth is rich, and the crooked network is worthy of being the first in the Internet world." ”

The person in charge of Doutu.com wants to change the bidding meeting, obviously because he can't make the decision on the price issue, and he needs to ask for instructions. On the other hand, the person in charge of the crooked network expressed his disagreement very calmly and resolutely, obviously because he was rich and wealthy, and he could make his own decisions without consulting his superiors.

Hu Youwei of the bean soil network looked stunned, and his face was as red as a pig's liver.

"I don't think it's necessary." The people of Seele expressed their support for the crooked network.

As soon as the visitors from other video sites saw this situation, although they were very dissatisfied with the crooked network and the visual music network, they could only say that there was no problem, and they could bid now.

Zhao Xingchi glanced apologetically at Hu Youwei of Doutu.com, and then announced the start of the bidding.

Ten minutes later, the prices of the major websites came out.

After Zhao Xingchi and Zhao Xiaogang watched it, they glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes, and the result was really crooked, with a price tag of as high as 1.5 million episodes!

Stephen Zhao put away all the notes, he didn't plan to quote the prices of various video websites, that would hurt people's self-esteem.

Zhao Xingchi just stood up, walked to the person in charge of the crooked network, stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile: "Xie Lu Xie Crooked Net, Xie Lu Xie Chang, I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

Chang Shenkai, who was crooked, was stunned at first, and then shook hands with Zhao Xingchi with a smile and said, "Happy cooperation." ”

Subsequently, Stephen Zhao asked Qian Minli to arrange a banquet to receive all the major website personnel who came to participate in the film viewing party, and then signed a letter of intent with Chang Shenkai accompanied by the company's lawyer Zhang Haoran, and decided to hold a press conference four days later to jointly build momentum for "Never Expected".

At this point, all the preparations for "Never Expected" are almost there, and it will only be officially broadcast on the crooked network in four days.

There are still many things in the middle, but there is no need for Zhao Xingchi to intervene, just leave it to Wang Yinhua, Zhao Xiaogang and others to be responsible.

The first season of "Never Expected" has a total of 15 episodes, and according to the quotation of Crooked.com, one episode is 1.5 million, which means that the first season of "Never Expected" can create 22.5 million income for Xingchen Media!

Looking at the filming cost of "Never Expected", Zhao Xiaogang is a down-and-out director who has no ambition, and the asking price cannot be high, Stephen Zhao's actual salary to Zhao Xiaogang is 30,000 yuan per episode, which is the minimum salary for ordinary directors; Wang Zefeng was just a group performance before, although it was a group special, but it was still a group performance, so Stephen Zhao paid him a salary of 1,000 yuan per episode.

The salary of 1,000 yuan per episode, Qian Minli immediately managed Zhao Xingchi as a profiteer after knowing the way, and Zhao Xingchi himself felt very unhappy, but Wang Zefeng was very happy, because it only took two or three days to shoot an episode, which means that his income a day is as high as four or five hundred, which is much higher than his previous income when he was a group specialist, and it has doubled or tripled.

As for Ding Xiaofei, a pure newcomer, it is also in the way that he is the leading actor, Stephen Zhao gave him the same salary as Wang Zefeng, 1,000 yuan per episode.

Counting all the costs of rented shooting equipment, studios, special effects, location expenses, etc., the cost of the last episode did not exceed 300,000 per episode.

15 episodes, counting the production cost of 300,000 episodes, the total investment is only 4.5 million.

Compare the investment of 4.5 million and the income of 22.5 million, which is four times the profit, which can not be described as a huge profit!

Of course, afterwards, Zhao Xiaogang, Ding Xiaofei, Wang Zefeng, as well as Wang Yinhua, Shao Quan and other people who participated in the filming will still be distributed a big red envelope, which must also be counted in the cost, and the profit cannot be so high.

Rao is like this, and Stephen Zhao also sighed again and again: "No wonder more and more people are going to enter the entertainment industry, the speed of making money, and the money printing machine is not so fast." ”
