However, because it is a secret standard, neither of them knows what the psychological price of the other party is, if it is set too high, it will inevitably suffer a dumb loss, and if it is set low, I am afraid that I will not be able to get the premiere right, so Huang Xizhao, the manager of Li's TV station, is very worried at the moment.

"Dangxiong, how much do you think we should write?" Huang Xizhao hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to write, then looked up and asked Mai Dangxiong on the side.

Mai Dangxiong thought calmly for a while, "Brother Zhao, I think with wireless attitude towards this drama, they don't seem to be too keen on this drama. Besides, their self-made drama is no worse than "Crocodile Tears", so I don't think their cost will be too high, it should be about 800,000. ”

"If you say 800,000, the cost of a play is equivalent to 20,000 yuan." Huang Xizhao stammered, "Couldn't this be cheaper?" ”

Like Li's own TV series, the cost of an episode is about 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, and only the TV series that are relatively and sure will cost more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, but it does not exceed 15,000 Hong Kong dollars. Like this time when he cooperated with Wireless to shoot an episode of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, Huang Xizhao was a little doubtful whether he earned or lost.

"No matter how cheap it is, I'm afraid it won't be labeled." Mai Dangxiong frowned and said, "Like a wireless TV series, the cost of an episode is generally 15,000 Hong Kong dollars, martial arts TV series such as "Chu Liuxiang" the year before last, and "Lu Xiaofeng" filmed last year cost more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the clothing cost alone cost nearly one million Hong Kong dollars. 20,000 Hong Kong dollars should be their psychological price, and it can't be lower. ”

"Alas, it's really more popular than people. The cost of people's general TV dramas is 15,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode, and the best TV series on our TV station is only 10,000 yuan. It's no wonder that the ratings are always not as good as others. Huang Xizhao sighed and said.

"Actually, if it weren't for the parent company's side to draw blood too hard. We won't necessarily lose to TVB. Mai Dangxiong couldn't help but hang his head when he heard this.

The so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, let Huang Xizhao have strong ability, and Mai Dangxiong is talented. Li Zhaoxiong is thoughtful, Tu Yongxiong is full of momentum, and Xiao Ruoyuan is amazing...... However, because of the lack of necessary capital, it is inevitable that the hero will be short of breath. The so-called penny is difficult to defeat a hero, this is the truth.

"Alas, it is useless to say that now, the economic situation of the parent company is getting worse day by day. I don't know when the road will get better. Moreover, the high-level leaders actually made a development plan with a pat on the head, but as a result, all the money invested in it was like throwing it into the water, and it didn't even splash a splash. "Huang Xizhao is also depressed." If this money is used to develop TV stations, why is it that even Jiayi is riding on our heads and. ”

"Brother Zhao, don't be discouraged, as long as we work together. It's sure to get Li's out of the way. Mak listened to Wong's words. Hurriedly smiled and persuaded.

"I'm sure there will be such a day." Huang Xizhao also nodded, "But this TV series is too expensive, we will pay 800,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy it, and they will release it after we finish it, but they can only use 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is too cheap for them." ”

"Why don't we give them the premiere rights, and then we pay half of the money for the replay rights?!" Mai asked after a moment's thought.

"No, don't you think I thought so?" Huang Xizhao waved his hand. "Those big advertisers have given the most obtinory, if we show those shoddy TV series. You're going to have to take down all the ads. As soon as the advertisement was withdrawn, our company had no income, and even the salary could not be paid. ”

"Actually, it's not like there's no other way to solve it." Mai Dangxiong suddenly rubbed his hands and said.

"Do you have another way?! Oh, why didn't you say it earlier, it made me worry for so long. Huang Xizhao asked after hearing Mai Dangxiong's words, and immediately threw away the pen in his hand.

Mak nodded, "I think we can buy TV dramas that they have broadcast before, such as the one they filmed a few years ago, which has not been shown for a while, and the ratings were good at the beginning." Mai Dangxiong thought for a while and said, "Just like Zheng Shaoqiu's "Chu Liuxiang", "Book of Swords and Enmity", as well as "Under the Lion Rock", "One House, Two Families and Three Surnames", and even the Xu Brothers' "Double Star Annunciation", etc., we can buy them for a while." The copyrights of their old TV series should not be too expensive, and the ratings should be quite guaranteed. ”

"That's a good idea, but in this way, will it make our TV station seem to be a little too low-level, and we can only rely on broadcasting other people's old TV series to win ratings?" After Huang Xizhao nodded, he asked with a frown.

"Alas, Brother Zhao, now is the time for life and death, what low-level, what garbage, what face, I can't take care of it." Mai Dangxiong shook his head and said, "Han Xingui has also suffered the humiliation of his crotch as a general, what is the suffering of us now?" After we have eased this hurdle and recovered our vitality, under the leadership of Brother Zhao, I believe that our beauty will not be much worse than wireless. ”

"That's right, in that case, then do what you want." Huang Xizhao nodded, and then solemnly wrote down the amount of 500,000 on the paper, which was the most suitable price in his heart.

……

While Wong Seok-chiu was discussing the price with his general Mak Dang-hung, in another room, Chung King-fai was also negotiating the price with Leung Shu-yee. The reason why these two people were selected to bid for the auction is mainly because these two people will be high-level executives of wireless in the future. Leung Shuk-yee will be the manager of TVB, and Mr. Chung King-fai will be the head of the company, so the two of them will be very qualified to set the price.

"KINGSIR, HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD PAY?" As the general manager, Leung Shuyi is responsible for writing down the bidding price. But before she writes, she still has to discuss it with Mr. Zhong Jinghui. And Mr. Zhong Jinghui used to be a teacher in the artist training class, so many of the wireless actors are his students, and they will call him KINGSIR when they meet, and over time, this has become his pronoun.

"The cost of a TV series on Li's side is generally only 10,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode, and the cost of a high-cost TV series is only 15,000 yuan. Compared to our wireless is far inferior. And they are cooperating with us this time to reduce the cost of the TV series, so I think their contribution should not exceed the price of 15,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode. Zhong Jinghui thought about it for a while.

"In that case. Then I'll be on the safe side and write it for the price of 20,000 episodes. Liang Shuyi thought for a while and said, "I also watched part of the plot, and I think this drama is not inferior to the TV series produced by our wireless, so I think we will not suffer a loss if we buy it for 20,000 episodes." ”

"That's right," Zhong Jinghui nodded. In fact, Li's TV station is not without capable people, such as the manager Huang Xizhao, the producer Mak Dangxiong. Screenwriter Xiao Ruoyuan and others can be regarded as first-class talents in the Hong Kong TV industry. It's just a pity that Li's parent company is not angry, and always draws funds from subsidiaries to make up for the shortfall, otherwise Li's TV station will give us more trouble for wireless. ”

"Yes. This is probably the fate of the time. Liang Shuyi sighed and said. Then he wrote down the amount of 800,000 on a blank piece of paper.

……

After both sides wrote down the price in their minds after thinking, they sent it to Xu Guanwu in person, and he was responsible for showing the results to everyone in public. Although Xu Guanwu is the boss of TVB, he is also a billionaire, and he is not going to make a moth for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

TVB naturally has no opinion on him being a notary, and Li's can't invite a more authoritative person, plus Xu Guanwu's reputation has always been good, so it's good for him to be a notary. Again. The results are also announced on the spot, and as much as is written. In plain sight, there is no possibility of modification at all.

"Manager Huang, Mr. Mai, have your targets been written?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

Huang Xizhao nodded indifferently, although Xu Guanwu is a billionaire who is famous in Xiangjiang, he is also the boss of TVB, and he is also the stronger party in the alliance, but Huang Xizhao doesn't want to be too humble, so that people can't look down on him from the heart. So his attitude was a little colder, which was almost the same as the attitude when Mai Dangxiong came to the company to talk to Xu Guanwu about forming an alliance that day, so that Xu Guanwu also had to sigh, is it not a family that does not enter the door.

"MISS LIANG, KINGSIR, YOUR TARGET HAS ALSO BEEN WRITTEN?" Xu Guanwu asked Liang Shuyi and Zhong Jinghui with a smile again.

Liang Shuyi and Zhong Jinghui also nodded, and then the two sides put the folded white paper in front of Xu Guanwu.

"Okay, then now I'm going to see what you both write down." Xu Guanwu smiled at Huang Xizhao and Liang Shuyi, "The one with the highest price will get the premiere right of the TV series "Crocodile Tears", and within three months of the release of the TV series "Crocodile Tears", the other party can pay half the price to get the replay rights. Both of you should know this. ”

"Mr. Xu, I want to ask you something before that." Huang Xizhao suddenly spoke.

"Manager Huang, excuse me." Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Huang Xizhao wanted to ask.

"That's the case, our TV station wants to exchange some old dramas with your station to be screened, I don't know what you think?" Huang Xizhao asked with a faint expression.

"Change the TV series to play?!" Xu Guanwu was slightly stunned, and then understood Huang Xizhao's thoughts, probably because they were reluctant to pay a high-priced bid for "Crocodile Tears", but they also wanted to get some good quality TV series, but at the same time they didn't want to spend money to buy them, so they thought of exchanging TV series.

Anyway, exchanging TV series with TVB, on the one hand, you can reduce the cost of buying TV series, on the other hand, you can also change to better TV series, and you can use this to revitalize your TV drama library. In addition, Li's high-quality TV series can be used to get good ratings. However, the TV series that wireless got Li, but because it was not as good as the TV series produced by itself, the ratings may not rise. This should be Huang Xizhao's wishful thinking.

However, since Xu Guanwu saw through his calculations, he naturally wouldn't let him be too happy. The TV series of Li's TV station are indeed some well-filmed, but more of them are some shoddy TV series. This is related to the fact that Lidi has not paid enough attention to TV dramas over the years.

When TVB conquered housewives with TV dramas and dominated the Hong Kong TV circle, Lidi was still tinkering with her own news and information programs. When TVB shoots more than 50 TV dramas a year, there are still less than 20 TV dramas, and more energy is focused on information reporting.

Because Li's Yingsheng used to do radio broadcasting, they moved the most popular programs on the radio to TV with a slight modification. But radio broadcasting is different from television broadcasting after all. The crowd that listens to the radio is mainly drivers and students, who have little time and energy to watch TV, so music programs on the radio broadcast, or news and information programs, are more popular.

But the audience who watches TV and radio is a family who has time and energy, and they want to enjoy a good program, and if you let him listen to the news or music, it will naturally not be enjoyable enough. It is easiest to attract the audience's interest if a TV series like TVB is broadcast on time every night. (To be continued......)
