Chapter 53: Water Margin Frenzy
"Hey, it's my turn, I'm going to sacrifice the two-star Earth Demon Heroes, the Earth Qiao Star Jade Arm Craftsman Jin Dajian and the Earth Sui Star Tong Gibbon Hou Jian, and summon the three-star Tiangang Hero, the Heavenly Speed Star Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong. Haha, I already have Tiangang Star, you're not my opponent, idiot! ”
"You've been fooled, I'm going to open my ambush card, the two-star Earth Demon Hero, the Earth Comet One Zhang Qinghu Sanniang, trigger her special effect to summon a son-in-law, recruit any male hero as a husband, and become a heroic spirit! From now on, your Dai Zong is mine! ”
"Wow, you Rippy, don't bring such a play!"
Looking at the two children who had already fought not far away, the corners of Jia Yapeng's mouth showed a slight smile.
At this time, it was already August of 91, and it had been three months since the start of "Water Margin Hero War", and the animation had already aired 24 episodes, and the plot had been in full swing.
And not only CCTV, within three months after the broadcast of "Water Margin Heroes", more than 20 local TV stations have found Dynasty Film and Television Group, expressing their hope to buy the broadcast rights of "Water Margin Heroes" and broadcast it on their own TV stations.
Many TV stations are ready to be slaughtered by the other party, and some TV stations even approved a purchase price of 10,000 yuan per episode.
Don't look at the price that a TV series can sell millions of dollars for just one episode, you must know that in the 90s, the price of an episode of a TV series that can be called a big production is only about 50,000 yuan.
Using 5,000 yuan per episode to buy the second round of broadcast rights of an animation is already a sky-high price.
If it weren't for the fact that the children really like it, clamoring to watch the replay every day, there is a huge business opportunity in this, and these TV stations would not be willing to pay this sky-high price to buy an animation.
As a result, when they began to negotiate the price of the Dynasty Film and Television Group, the group that had already benefited Jia Yapeng directly gave a unified purchase price for all TV stations.
That's 1,000 yuan per episode.
This price suddenly moved all TV stations to tears, this is definitely the price of cabbage, even if it is a bad cartoon, it has never been sold at the price of such a cabbage, this price is basically no different from giving it away for nothing.
In the words of Dynasty Film and Television Group, they don't plan to make money making this cartoon, they just want the children to be happy, the TV station to be happy, and everyone to be happy together, that's enough!
Jia Yapeng has never expected to make money from cartoons, and he is even willing to pay for various TV stations to repeat the broadcast, so that the more broadcasts, the more his elf noodles will naturally sell.
Every day, you can get dozens of minutes or even an hour of super advertising space from various local TV stations, not only does it not cost money, but you can also earn 48,000 yuan, is there anything happier in the world than this?
As a result, the favorability of major TV stations for Dynasty Film and Television Group increased greatly, and then they paid 48,000 yuan to buy the broadcast rights of the first 48 episodes.
What Jia Yapeng didn't expect was that in the end, 32 TV stations paid for animation copyrights, and Dynasty Film and Television Company collected a total of 1.536 million yuan, and the cost of the entire first part of the animation was less than 1 million, this cartoon did not expect to make money, but earned 530,000 yuan, and when the final result was summarized in Jia Yapeng's hands, it scared our Mr. Jia.
Soon, Nawei Satellite TV also released "Water Margin Hero War", but according to the agreement signed by the two parties, the broadcast speed of each local TV station must also be kept two episodes slower than CCTV, and after CCTV broadcast two episodes of animation, local TV stations must wait for a week before they can be broadcast.
It stands to reason that most of the traffic will still be attracted to CCTV, but local TV stations have a trick, that is, they don't have so many program arrangements, and they actually have a lot of free time every day.
So these local TV stations began to rebroadcast wildly, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., the most active time for children to watch TV, and broadcast 6 episodes in a row, from episode 1 to episode 6. When you can't broadcast it anymore, start broadcasting it from the beginning and broadcast it again for you.
Do you think that's the limit?
Hui'an TV didn't know which clever ghost came up with an idea, seized the time on Saturday and Sunday, broadcast from 8 o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock in the evening, and broadcast from episode 1 to episode 22 in one go, and directly broadcast all the episodes that can be broadcast so far, and then the middle was full of advertisements.
Do you think the little ones will get bored?
No, absolutely not, scientific studies have shown that children will not get bored by too many replays, as long as it is something they like, they will watch it over and over again, even if it has been watched a dozen or even dozens of times.
In such a high-intensity broadcast state, to what extent the Water Margin heroes have become hot, you can guess with your ass.
Now Jia Yapeng only needs to go to a park or community with more children, and he can see several groups of children holding Water Margin hero cards, who are engaged in a simple version of the Water Margin hero battle.
To put it bluntly, now the Water Margin Hero War is already the most fashionable game in China, especially in the city, if anyone does not have a few Water Margin Hero Cards in his hand and will not play this game at the same time, then he will be outdated and out of touch with the masses, which is absolutely impossible for children whose social needs are actually more vigorous than adults.
And behind each of these cards, there are elves worth 5 cents a pack of crisp noodles!
Back in the factory, the new financial director finally straightened out the financial situation in the factory, and then handed over the financial reports of the first quarter and the second quarter of 91 to Jia Yapeng for review.
This financial director is the original director of the financial department of Yuzhang City Food Factory, and Jia Yapeng's parents are old colleagues, and the relationship is also very good, he is 65 years old and has just retired.
It stands to reason that a person of his level has retired because he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, but the old man can't be idle, and he always wants to find something to do.
Considering that finance is the most important department of an enterprise in a sense, Jia Yapeng invited this old gentleman over and asked him to check for himself, so that he can rest assured, after all, some old people in state-owned enterprises have retired from that difficult and simple era, and they are basically absolutely trustworthy.
And the financial statements of the two quarters were in Jia Yapeng's hands, and Jia Yapeng didn't look at them carefully, but turned directly to the last few pages, he wanted to see how much money he made now.
Soon, Jia Yapeng saw this number, and the next second he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Has Lao Tzu made so much money in 6 months?"
