Chapter Ninety-Eight: Price Competition
I have to say that Xie Manya herself is very powerful, and the director of the sales department she is looking for is also very powerful, analyzing from all aspects, and even pulling out a lot of various data. Ouyang Xu himself almost didn't understand it completely, but Ouyang Xu also knew that these inexplicable data were just to increase the price of "Love Apartment".
At the beginning, the prices given by these TV stations were very low, well, it should be low. After all, there are millions or even tens of millions of TV series in a current TV series, and these TV stations feel that the director of "Love Apartment" is a newcomer, and the actors are all newcomers except Ouyang Xu, without any fame, and even this studio has not produced any works with achievements before, of course, there are no works without achievements. "Love Apartment" is the studio's first work.
So in their words, the quality of the work cannot be guaranteed, and they can't be sure whether the audience will like it, so they desperately keep the price down.
One million per episode, this price, although it has exceeded the cost of filming. After all, according to the salary, only Ouyang Xu gets a little more, 200,000 yuan per episode, and several other actors, more than 10,000 points per episode, and the total sum of zero and zero is about 200,000. In other words, the cost of filming is about 400,000 per episode. And Ouyang Xu got half of it.
(I haven't been in the entertainment industry, and I don't know much about the cost of shooting, but the love apartment is just an indoor sitcom, and there are only two or three scenes switching back and forth in total, so it shouldn't cost much.) I even personally think that the cost of the love apartment is even cheaper than the sitcom of Wulin Gaiden, after all, the love apartment still needs ancient architecture. The rent is definitely more expensive than two houses in Love Apartments. If there's anything wrong with this self-righteous thinking, then please - come and hit me! (crossed out) for your understanding. )
So even if it's a million episodes, it's enough for the studio to earn 600,000. "Love Apartment" has a total of twenty episodes, which means that even if it is only one million episodes, it is enough for the studio to earn 12 million. And that's just the first round of airing rights. I have to say that filming is so profitable, which is one of the reasons why countless people have flocked to the entertainment industry in recent years.
But it's only 12 million, and it's clear that the studio doesn't think it's enough. It doesn't matter if it's insatiable, or if it's crazy to think about money, why don't you make money anyway.
"No, this kind of price is absolutely not good. Although even the directors of "Love Apartment" are newcomers except for Ouyang Xu, it is enough to have Ouyang Xu alone in it. I think you also know what Ouyang Xu himself represents. Ouyang Xu represents the ratings. The head of the sales department said loudly on the table.
When the other people in the conference room heard Ouyang Xu's name, they subconsciously looked at a corner of the conference room, Ouyang Xu, who was drinking the happy water of the fat house.
"Uh, what's wrong? Is there something wrong? Ouyang Xu was watched by countless people, a little awkward, scratching his head and asking. That's the way it looks, it's stupid, it's cute.
Seeing Ouyang Xu's performance, Xie Manya and several people in the studio had an urge to cover their faces.
"Poof!" A representative of a TV station couldn't help but laugh out loud when he looked at Ouyang Xu like this. After all, Ouyang Xu himself is the kind of handsome person who wants to break through the sky no matter what, and it can be said that he has no dead ends in 360 degrees. So even if it's this stupid and cute appearance, it's still handsome.
These people who can be the representatives of the TV station, none of them are stupid, looking at Ouyang Xu's stupid and cute appearance, they are all so handsome. Combined with the popularity of Ouyang Xu on the Internet, these people have a number in their hearts, and if Ouyang Xu exists, then the ratings can be used as a guarantee of at least one percentage point.
That's right, one percent.
Thinking like this, the representatives of these TV stations couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Obviously, there are only a few TV series that can have one percentage point every day, and now the "Love Apartment" they want to buy actually admits from the bottom of their hearts that it will exceed one percentage point of ratings. It's really, really weird. It's just such a person, why can he be so handsome?
The representative of a certain TV station is a woman in her thirties, and after this woman looks at Ouyang Xu's appearance, she actually has a feeling of heartbeat. So, immediately, it was almost determined that no matter how high the price was, he must win the TV series "Love Apartment", if nothing else, just because the protagonist of "Love Apartment" is Ouyang Xu. Because of the existence of Ouyang Xu, it means that when "Love Apartment" is broadcast, most women will watch it.
You must know that 80% of the people who watch TV now are women. As for men, one by one, they either play games or games, so how can they have time to watch TV.
"Even if the protagonist of "Love Apartment" is Ouyang Xu, but in addition to Ouyang Xu, the whole TV series is a newcomer, and even the director is a newcomer, a director who does not have any works, even a good script may be ruined in his hands, and we are also at a great risk to buy this TV series." The representative of Oriental TV said seriously.
"That's right, that's right, two million, this is the limit that our TV station can bear, if it is more, our TV station will not be able to bear it." The representative of Westlake TV said, and also increased the price a little more, from 1.7 million to 2 million.
"Although I am more optimistic about Ouyang Xu, but your "Love Apartment" is an indoor sitcom, the cost should be very low, and the actors except Ouyang Xu are all newcomers, so there is almost no salary. I even think that even if it's a million episodes, you're going to make a lot of money. Of course, for Ouyang Xu's sake, we can raise the price to 2.5 million episodes. The representative of the fruit station silently added another 500,000 to the price said by the representative of West Lake TV. Let the representative of Westlake TV secretly curse MMP in his heart.
However, after increasing to 2.5 million, the price has not been rising. After all, none of the representatives of these TV stations are stupid. They have long silently calculated the filming cost of "Love Apartment", at most hundreds of thousands, and these 2.5 million have already made the studio earn money by eating with their faces.
