"This time, if you can't get the exclusive broadcast right of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", you have to get the premiere right!" Jiang Qichao from Beijing TV immediately pondered after the shock.

Whether in the outside world or in the circle, Stephen Zhao's most dazzling aura is on the "best-selling novel writer in China", and other producers, screenwriters, songwriters, and bosses are all overshadowed, at most, when the media reports make people marvel at Stephen Zhao's versatility.

Of course, after listening to Dong Wanli's explanation, Jiang Qichao added a label of "program producer" to Zhao Xingchi's impression.

Dong Wanli has no reason to lie, and he can't lie to him, saying that the all-star variety show "Era Show" is Stephen Zhao's idea, and that is Stephen Zhao's idea.

With so many labels on his body, Stephen Zhao's talent can be imagined with his toes, which is almost a talent that has not been born in the entertainment world for decades.

If he was only a little interested in the procurement of the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" before, then now, Jiang Qichao has made up his mind to pay attention to the procurement.

There are many ways for TV stations to purchase TV dramas, some buy out the copyright, and some don't buy out the copyright.

Relatively speaking, people now know the importance of copyright, so the situation of buying out copyright can basically withdraw from the stage of history.

There are three main types of non-buyout copyrights, one is the exclusive right to broadcast, one is the first broadcast right, and the other is the second broadcast right.

First-line TV stations, such as Xijiang TV, Jingcheng TV, and Modu TV, which are provincial and municipal stations in various provinces and municipalities directly under the central government, will only buy TV dramas in the first two cases; Only those second-tier, general prefecture-level city stations or county TV stations have the most difficult situation, and basically this is the case, because they don't have the financial resources to buy the exclusive broadcast rights or premiere rights of good TV dramas.

Exclusive broadcast rights, a TV station directly occupied the opportunity of the first round of broadcasting.

The first broadcast right, several TV stations at the same time to enjoy the opportunity to broadcast the first round.

The vast majority of TV dramas have been purchased by several TV stations for the first round of broadcasting, and only those big productions and high-quality works will be spent by major TV stations to get the exclusive broadcast rights at a large price.

Is the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" TV series a big production?

This is debatable, because the actor Dewey is very popular, but the heroine Tang Xinya is not popular, and the director Zhao Xiaogang is even more unknown.

Stephen Zhao is famous, but it is the first time to produce a TV series, and no one is sure that Stephen Zhao will be able to do it.

All things considered, it should be considered a medium production.

Jiang Qichao thought so, but at the film viewing meeting, when the classic Cantonese song "Iron Blood Dan Heart" resounded throughout the venue, when the wonderful plot was presented in front of everyone, Jiang Qichao was shaken, the whole TV series was actually well-made, whether it was the acting skills of the actors, the image of the characters, the structure of the plot, the ......effect of the picture, it could almost be regarded as a good work.

"It's a classic!" Jiang Qichao quickly calmed down, his eyes were no longer on the screen, but wandering, and he began to ponder: "With a huge fan base and excellent production, the ratings should be guaranteed, but do you want to increase the price to get the exclusive broadcast rights?" ”

At the same time, the heads of other TV stations and video websites are also thinking about this issue, including Dong Wanli, the director of Xijiang TV, Huang Weiliang, the head of Tomato Channel, and Wang Jin, the head of CCTV.

It was Han Minzhong who presided over the viewing meeting, and Zhao Xingchi had nothing to do, sitting next to him and chatting with Zhan Xianjun.

"How's the movie going?" Stephen Zhao asked Zhan Xianjun with a smile, Zhan Xianjun was specially called back from the set by him this time.

"It's quite smooth, and it is estimated that the filming should be completed by the end of the month, and then cooperate with the company's Spring Festival release plan." Zhan Xianjun replied very conservatively.

The film adaptation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is an important part of the company's "Double 11 Plan", which cannot be missed. succeeded, Red Star Media launched the first shot to enter the film market; Failure, although Red Star Media will not be greatly damaged, but the enthusiasm will be seriously dampened, and more importantly, the reputation will be damaged.

The script of the movie was made by Zhan Xianjun, and then Stephen Zhao, the author, was reviewed after the author, and the filming officially started in September, with an investment of 10 million!

In this era of more than 100 million investments, the investment amount of 10 million is undoubtedly pitiful. However, Stephen Zhao, Han Minzhong, Ye Weihong and others had no intention of inviting superstars to join from the beginning, nor did they say that they would shoot a 3D version of the martial arts movie. At the end of the day, it's just a test for the company.

Moreover, the movie script of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is difficult to produce, which is also the reason why Stephen Zhao and others dare not play big.

As for the movie script that is being filmed now, Zhan Xianjun has changed his draft ten, either not here or there. After the last reluctance, he barely passed, and the author Zhao Xingchi felt that it was not good again.

Or Zhao Xingchi couldn't see it, thinking that Zhan Xianjun was a gold medal screenwriter after all, so he let him toss.

"It's okay, don't make any trouble, I'd rather slow down." Stephen Zhao nodded, and then said the reason for calling him back: "I suddenly had another idea when I was looking for you this time, I plan to make a funny version of the movie, as entertaining and spoof as possible, just use the original cast of this movie now." ”

"Huh?" Zhan Xianjun was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he hurriedly said, "Wouldn't this be too rushed?" ”

"No, it's just for fun, you don't need to think too hard, there are the original team, I believe it can be completed in ten days and half a month." Zhao Xingchi explained with a smile.

"......" Zhan Xianjun was speechless.

Zhao Xingchi quickly told the synopsis of the plot, and said with great interest: "I have thought about the plot, it is pure fiction, it is said that there is an adulterous concubine in the Jin Kingdom who has an affair with her cousin Ouyang Feng, intending to kill the king and occupy the country." Ouyang Feng injured the third princess who protected the jade seal, but the third princess escaped, so he asked the national teacher to find out the whereabouts of the third princess with a crystal ball, and then put on the rocket golden boots to chase after him, but because the boots rubbed against the fire, he fell down and killed Wang Chongyang, who had just come out. The third princess happened to pass by, and Wang Chongyang begged her to find Zhou Botong to take revenge. The third princess received the guidance of the real person of the Nine Palaces, and was accompanied by the disciple of the real person, Huang Yaoshi, to take revenge for the country, but because of this, she aroused the jealousy of the little sister of Huang Yaoshi......"

Grape Ancestor's "East Becomes West" was moved to Saturn by Zhao Xingchi, and then explained to Zhan Xianjun.

In his previous life, Stephen Zhao burst into laughter when he first watched this film, thinking that this should be an outstanding existence in costume comedies.

Although the plot of "East Becomes West" has nothing to do with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", only a few protagonists' names and some kung fu names are related, but this does not prevent "East into West" from being the movie version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

"I ...... Go! Zhan Xianjun was stupid directly, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and then looked at Zhao Xingchi with a monster-like gaze, and sighed: "I said Boss Zhao, you have such an idea to say it earlier, it's much better than my script, if this idea is filmed, it will definitely not be lost, and there will be popular entertaining movies now." ”

There are entertainment plots, classic lines, and you don't have to worry about making movies that don't make money.

Take a look at Zhao Xingchi's casual lines, what "eyebrows and eyes to sword", "affectionate knife", "dry wood and fire palm" ......, just listening to it already made his heart ripple, almost laughing.

Zhao Xingchi coughed a few times and said, "This ...... I only recently remembered it. It doesn't matter, when two movies are made together, you always have to test the waters in all directions. ”

Zhan Xianjun nodded, and no longer dwelled on this problem, and then said: "I will give you the script the day after tomorrow, and strive to complete the two movies at the same time." ”

……

The two discussed the movie here, and the first round of broadcast rights of the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" TV series was also sold.

Not surprisingly, the TV series only sold the first round of broadcast rights, and no TV station bought the exclusive broadcast rights at a high price, and the two big financiers of Tomato and CCTV did not take action.

The first round of broadcasting rights was won by a total of three TV stations, one is Xijiang TV, one is Jingcheng TV, and one is Dongshan TV.

The price of each episode reached 2 million, which is considered a medium number. I believe that if it is an exclusive broadcast right, the price code must be doubled on this basis.

At present, the highest price per episode of a TV series in the industry is 4.5 million, created by Haitian Film and Television.

One episode is 2 million, and a total of 45 episodes of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will earn 90 million when it is sold once, and each of the three TV stations will buy it once, which will add up to 270 million.

Without a doubt, this is an amazing income!

In addition to the first round of broadcast rights, the second round of broadcast rights, DVD sales revenue, overseas copyright sales and other channels will also increase the income of Red Star Media.

Calculate the cost of the TV series, most of the expenses during filming and the salary of the actors.

Not to mention the cost of filming, just the actor's salary, this is a lot of money.

The actor Dewey, a domestic first-line actor, has a salary of 100,000 yuan for a single episode of filming TV series; heroine Tang Xinya, a second-tier actress in China, the salary price of a single episode is 30,000; The second male Yuan Changsong, a second-tier man in China, has a salary of 30,000 yuan for a single episode; The second female Liu Yanshi, a quasi-second-tier actress in China, has a salary of 10,000 yuan for a single episode.

Not to mention the other actors, just these four main actors, the company has to invest 7.65 million, and the cost of a single episode is as high as 170,000.

After the final calculation, plus the shooting expenses, other actors' salaries, company operating expenses, etc., the cost of a single integration reached 600,000, with a total investment of more than 27 million.

The investment cost is close to 30 million, if Zhao Xingchi is not cooperating with Ye Weihong, he must go to the loan to raise money.

Of course, the cost of 600,000 episodes is still high, and it can be controlled, but it is the first time to shoot a serious TV series, so I am not very skilled in all aspects.

"It's finally developed, and it's easier in the future!" As soon as the results came out, Stephen Zhao was very relieved.
