Today, Li Chencan participated in another copyright negotiation of "Prison Break".

The TV series "Prison Break" has been rejected one after another......

This model of TV drama production companies producing their own TV dramas has now also exposed its own drawbacks.

The disadvantage of this is that the TV station does not buy it...... Of course, in fact, the people on the TV station are not blind, they have been doing TV dramas for so many years, and their sharp eyes have long been practiced, and they naturally have a considerable appreciation for films like "Prison Break", which has a high degree of completion of Li Chencan's statement, and they also know that such a TV series should cause the audience to like it.

But here's the problem...... It's just their thoughts.

After all, many times, movies and TV series are too subjective, and there is no way to use a formula to set them, some of you watch movies that are going to sell particularly well, but they are actually very popular, and some of them are very popular.

So they can't buy "Prison Break" purely with their own eyes, if this is a TV series that first submits an application with them, and then the TV station gives them money to shoot it, "Prison Break" has long passed, but now "Prison Break" is an independently produced TV series...... That's where the problem lies.

And there is also a problem that they themselves are not very easy to arrange for the release, after all, the TV series did not have a plan before.

American TV series, Monday to Saturday, prime time is 8 to 11 pm, Sunday prime time is 7 pm to 11 pm, if it is not broadcast in prime time, the benefits of that TV series may be offset a lot. But if you play it in prime time...... That, in turn, will crowd out the playback controls of other movies.

In addition, "Prison Break" is an independently produced TV series, and they have to share it with the Storm TV series production company, and wait until the premiere is over. The copyright of the TV series belongs to the storm...... But if a TV series sells well, the second and third rounds of broadcasting can also bring a lot of benefits, so these TV stations are a little undecided about this matter......

Today, Li Chencan and his team are negotiating YRTV, one of the five major television stations, which accounts for about 30% of the pay-TV traffic. It has quite a good reputation in the pay TV market in the United States. It is also the leader among the five major TV stations.

After talking for a long time, several people in charge of YRTV still couldn't make a decision, in fact, the main reason was that they thought Li Chencan's conditions were too high - 80% of the profit share of the first round of broadcasting. At least prime-time airing...... Anyway, there are a lot of them, and such conditions make YRTV a little unacceptable.

"Forget it, you'd better find another TV station, seriously. Your asking price is really high. "Brant is a very high-status representative in YRTV. Now, he shook his head and said this to Li Chencan.

Li Chencan frowned and said: "But I think that the value of the TV series "Prison Break" is very high, I believe that the TV series can get back all your investment, and it can also make you get higher prestige, and then there will be tens of millions of Americans waiting in front of the TV, waiting to watch this TV series of your TV station!" And "Prison Break" will also be branded by your TV station, isn't that good? ”

Brandt scoffed. Then he said: "Mr. Li, you really have confidence in this "Prison Break"! But I'm sorry. We don't have such confidence, this TV series can only be said to be okay, and it has not reached the level you said at all! Otherwise, I'd like to see what kind of pomp and circumstance it is for so many so-called people to wait to see this TV series, but alas, I know it's not possible. ”

Brandt just now was also in a bad mood because he couldn't negotiate, so what he said now was also a stick.

Li Chencan's anger has also risen, he has always witnessed the glory of "Prison Break" in his previous life, so he doesn't believe that this movie will be worthless! So, at this time, he also said: "Okay! I'm sure you'll see that, and I hope you won't regret it. ”

"I definitely won't regret it! Believe me, sir, you won't give me that chance! Brandt's eyes were filled with disdain.

Words don't speculate you are paralyzed, it's really like this!

"Let's go." Li Chencan also greeted everyone who came with him today, and he was leaving.

Since they have already said this, there is really no need to stay.

When he got outside, Li Chencan felt a little depressed...... It seems that if he makes a TV series next, if it is not the kind of TV series that must not waste copyright, then he still chooses to hand over the creativity and various ideas, TV drama script outline and the like to the TV station first, and then let them choose whether to broadcast it or not.

But these are things for the future, and the most important thing at the moment is to sell the TV series "Prison Break", not to say to sell, the main thing is to find a partner as soon as possible.

If you don't find a partner for this copyright quickly, it will also have a great impact on what will happen next...... Because if they have only filmed the current ten episodes, they will enter a dilemma, and if they continue to shoot, then no one knows what will happen to this TV series next...... Will it be cut, will it not be able to find a partner? But if you don't keep shooting, will it just rot? Or do you want to keep this TV series for later? Who knows what will happen next? At least, the actors in front of them, in the next time, everyone doesn't know what variables will happen to them.

Therefore, after a lot of careful consideration, Li Chencan still has to solve the copyright problem as soon as possible......

Next, another TV station and Li Chencan collapsed, and only the last American HEAT TV station remained......

The name HEAT TV is translated as Heat TV in China, and the name first made Li Chencan want to laugh a little, because he remembered a team in another time and space...... However, in fact, the Miami team in this time and space is still the Heat, but this is exactly the same as the name of the TV station, which is not very surprising, after all, such things still happen all the time.

Today is Li Chencan's last chance...... If it is not appropriate to talk here today, Li Chencan and the others can only be forced to lower some requirements, all so that their TV series can be broadcast normally on one of the five major TV stations.

It is under such circumstances that today's negotiations have a somewhat solemn atmosphere before they begin.

The name of the representative sent by HEAT is Auburn, with gold-rimmed glasses, he looks very delicate, and his height is only about 1.7 meters, almost half a head shorter than Li Chencan.

In Li Chencan's preparation time before the official start of "Batman: The Dark Knight", most of the trivial matters were handed over to others to solve, anyway, they already had the experience of the previous "Batman: Time to War", but there was no problem in preparing for this, Li Chencan didn't have to worry too much, he was more concerned about the problem of "Prison Break" now, so let's talk about "Prison Break" with everyone first, if I say that "Prison Break" is so popular in my time and space, Filmed from his own hands, but can only rot in the TV drama library...... This is truly a great tragedy.

In this way, while the others had solved most of the problems, Li Chencan also began negotiations on their side.

"Mr. Li, let's be honest with you, we can also get straight to the point, no need to beat around the bush, in fact, our company knows the situation of your "Prison Break", and knows that you have been rejected by the other four pay TV stations before!" Auburn said with a sparkle in his eyes.

Li Chencan smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Auburn, in fact, I need to correct one of your statements, we and the previous four companies, but only the talks collapsed, and there was a little inconsistency in some conditions, this is not a refusal at all, nor can it be regarded as a refusal." "I have to be clear on this issue...... Otherwise, Auburn and his bastards would definitely take the opportunity to drive down the price.

"Well, no matter what you say, but it's a fact." "So, my proposal is that I hope you can lower your excessively high conditions a little bit, but we won't go too far with other companies, but we also need to ensure a basic source of profits." ”

Auburn's statement Li Chencan has already considered it, and instead of continuing to talk to HEAT about the collapse and the TV stations that have already talked about the collapse before and said a lot of unpleasant things to restart the negotiations, it is better to end it here.

HEAT is a TV station that also has a lot of prestige in the pay-per-demand TV industry, although its market share is lower than that of YRTV, but it is also at a level of more than 20%, which is also very good.

"Okay." Li Chencan also said to Auburn: "Then let's discuss this matter calmly." ”

"As you wish......"

After these negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement, the premiere rights of "Prison Break" belong to their HEAT TV station, but the copyright after that is all the Storm TV drama company, when the TV station broadcasts in the first round, the storm TV drama company's commission is 75%, of course, this is the main condition, and there are many other minor conditions, but those are no longer in the general scope.

After so many negotiations, the issue of "Prison Break" has finally been finalized, and there will be some specific agreements to consider, those are the next things, and Li Chencan does not need to think about it himself for the time being, so now Li Chencan's focus can be shifted back to his own movies, such as his "Batman: The Dark Knight".
