Chapter 233: Watching the Film
Zhang Wen remembered that before she left for Shanghai, her top boss said earnestly: "Xiao Zhang, you have also watched the love apartment film in the bright era, and the young people in the station have responded very enthusiastically, although I don't like this kind of noisy TV series, but from the film that has been released now, the quality is very good, especially the special effects fight, it is hard to believe that a TV series that is a newcomer dares to invest a lot of money in special effects." And young people have gone home for the New Year, and when the time comes, when this TV series is broadcast during the New Year, the ratings should not be low. Our station has not gotten the first soup of high-quality TV series for a long time, and the bright era is also related to our station, and this time we strive to get the premiere. ”
The premiere is of course excellent, but the station is buckling the rope, and the budget for a single episode is only 300,000, Zhang Wen feels that this price is estimated to be no fun, and with her hard work, the leader agreed to a maximum of 500,000 yuan for a single episode.
Gu Cancan asked for thirty episodes in the first season of Love Apartment, and did not completely follow the original version, but gathered the essence of the classics in her impression, anyway, it is a sitcom, and there is no obvious main line in itself, the plot is like paragraphs, as long as the characters who only appeared in the later period are not brought out.
Zhang Wen also calculated in her heart that if she won 500,000 yuan for a single episode, it would take 15 million to buy 30 episodes of the entire drama, which is indeed not a small amount of money for Jibei Satellite TV.
500,000 yuan for a single episode, in fact, it is not low, and now the price of general TV dramas is only 300,000 or 400,000, except for some TV series with well-known directors and big names, there are rarely more than 500,000, 500,000 per episode, which is enough to get the premiere right.
?? 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speaking, people now know the importance of copyright, so the situation of buying out copyright can basically be withdrawn from the stage of history.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 last 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.
Zhang Wen knows that although the TV series Love Apartment is starring newcomers, the cameos are all big names.
The contracted artists of the bright era showed their faces in the TV series, not to mention, those friends that Gu Cancan had made well, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo and other people who could come to make cameos were also invited, plus Gaoge Culture also has some of its own connections, and some actors and singers who are quite well-known in the south were invited to make cameos.
If you count the cameo, the love apartment is actually a star-studded TV series.
Zhang Wen also said that she couldn't say whether the love apartment would be welcomed by the market, and there was no way to predict the bids of other companies, she only hoped that the bids of other TV stations would tend to be conservative......
Gu Cancan is the young president of the Bright Times, involving the interests of her own company, Zhang Wen knows in her heart that of course she will not sell it cheaply to Jibei Satellite TV, she just wants to understand the importance of the Bright Times to this drama, and it would be best if she could understand the approximate psychological price.
This is of course impossible.
Gu Cancan was very polite to Zhang Wen, but when it came to the love apartment, she played Tai Chi with Zhang Wen very slippery.
"Sister Zhang, if you ask me about the psychological price now, I definitely have no way to answer, from my standpoint, of course, the higher the better. As for the quality of the TV series, I have absolute confidence that this TV series will be a work that cannot be bypassed in the history of Chinese TV dramas. Gu Cancan said confidently.
Zhang Wen smiled helplessly in her heart, Gu Cancan is so slippery at a young age, and it is also a work that cannot be bypassed in the history of Chinese TV dramas, is it really good to brag like this?
Fortunately, after all, it is from the same province, although Gu Cancan did not make any promises on the TV series, but she chatted with Zhang Wen about another variety show.
It's January 2008 now, and in 2008, it will be a year when the bright era is making great strides forward, and there will be several film and TV series production plans in the bright era, and variety shows are also being planned.
Movies and TV series have their own channels, but variety shows need to cooperate closely with TV stations. Although Jibei Satellite TV is a non-mainstream TV station within the scope of national satellite TV, it is a situation where there are no excellent programs to settle in. If there is a popular program all over the country, Jibei Satellite TV may not be able to fight with Hunan Satellite TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV.
When Zhang Wen walked out of Gu Cancan's room, she couldn't help but be happy, even if she couldn't buy the premiere rights of the love apartment this time, seeing Gu Cancan's conversation with Gu Cancan, and talking about the intention of cooperation in variety shows, she also benefited a lot.
After Zhang Wen left, Chen Chen asked in surprise: "Do you really want to cooperate with Jibei Satellite TV on variety shows?" ”
"Preliminary thoughts, we need further contact, anyway, let's chat, she won't leave if she doesn't say something." Gu Cancan said indifferently.
"So what kind of show do you want to do? Do you have a plan? ”
"With inspiration, it is not difficult to produce this show, the key is inspiration, and we will discuss it in the company after returning to the capital." Gu Cancan remembered the popularity of the show in the original time and space, and thought that it was time for the variety show project office in the bright era to start.
……
The next day, Gu Cancan went to the filming site.
The so-called scene is the apartment building rented by the crew, which is an important factor in the small cost of sitcom shooting, and the framing is very simple.
Filming has come to an end, and several leading actors are on the scene.
With a shout from the director: "Action! Fixing! ”
There was a round of applause.
Although it is a sitcom, it has been filmed for more than three months, and both the actors and the backstage are exhausted, and now everything is finally over, and everyone cheers from the heart.
Gu Cancan's appearance at the scene caused a small sensation.
For most of the actors who are still students, Gu Cancan's experience as a girl younger than them is quite legendary, and there are no art students who study acting who are not interested in her.
"Congratulations! It's been a great time for everyone! ”
After Gu Cancan bowed slightly to thank everyone, he said with a smile: "I will announce for the crew that the finale banquet will be held tonight, everyone must come!" ”
"Ou Ou Ou Ou~"
"Ulla!"
After laughing, Gu Cancan called over a few leading actors, and asked with a smile: "How does the filming process feel?" ”
"Very good! I think we can be on fire. Li Jinming, who has a cheerful personality, hurriedly replied, and his smile was very cute.
Chen He habitually showed a smile like Zeng Xiaoxian, and also said: "In the process of filming, I did learn a lot of things, thank the company for giving us the opportunity to perform such an excellent TV series." ”
Others also praised a few words, and everyone looked happy.
Gu Cancan said: "Hehe, I also think that our drama can be a big hit, we have seen everyone's hard work these days, and the performance is very good, rest assured, the company will have opportunities in the future, and you will all be indispensable characters in the second and third seasons in the future." ”
These people have signed contracts with the Bright Times, in this time and space, the love apartment will no longer have the notoriety of plagiarism, Gu Cancan believes that this sitcom and the actors will become a hot existence, so of course the Bright Times will not make wedding dresses for others in vain, and only by signing a contract with the Bright Times will there be a chance to star.
This group of people can't imagine how popular the love apartment will be and how famous they will be, so they are very happy to accept the olive branch of the bright era.
……
This is the first time that a TV series viewing meeting has been held in the bright era, and the previous three TV series have not held any viewing parties at all, they are all directly looking for the internal viewing of the TV station, and I think it can be broadcast, and it will be good as soon as the price is finalized.
Love apartment is a project that Gu Cancan and Bright Times value very much, don't look at it as just a sitcom, but the costumes and props in it are very carefully designed, plus a variety of exquisite props, the production cost of the entire TV series is almost eight million, just look at the type of sitcom, this investment is quite high.
High investment also brings high quality, Gu Cancan was very satisfied after seeing the finished product, and after doing a certain amount of publicity on the Internet, he invited many TV stations to come to the auction, and the momentum was very huge.
After everyone gathered in the hotel auditorium, the bright era found that in addition to Shanghai Satellite TV, Jibei Satellite TV, Henan Satellite TV, Hunan Satellite TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV, which had long been determined,
Beijing Television Station, Xijiang Television Station, Sujiang Satellite TV Station, Dongshan Satellite TV Station ......, and satellite TV stations in several provinces and municipalities directly under the Central Government have sent people to participate in the film viewing party held by the Bright Times.
???????? The reason is actually related to "Never Expected" produced by the bright era.
The mythical achievements of "Never Expected" on the Internet have shocked the attention of major websites and physical media, and the starring role of "Never Expected" is not Li Jiahang.
The popularity on the Internet may not be eye-catching for TV stations, but there is no doubt about the ability to shoot comedies in the bright era, especially the trailers and special effects released, which really attracted a lot of people.
What's more, although there are no big stars in it to play the leading role, there are many big names who come to make cameos, and with a little publicity, at least it can attract a considerable number of potential audiences.
????????“ Yo, isn't this Director Zhou? How did you come here in person? Li Liqiang, the person in charge of Beijing TV Station, just walked into the conference room of the hotel, and immediately saw an acquaintance sitting not far in front of him, Zhou Wanli, deputy director of Xijiang TV Station, which surprised him very much.
???????? Zhou Wanli looked back and saw that it was actually his old classmate Li Liqiang, who was immediately happy, and walked over with a laugh: "Okay, you old Li, are you still burying me?" You Lao Li can come, why can't I come? The monk can touch it, but I can't touch it? ”
????????“ Bah! After so many years, you're still so dirty. Li Liqiang said with a smile: "Old Zhou, you are the director of the TV station, unlike me, I am only the head of the program procurement department who is about to retire." Supposedly, you don't need to do this job yourself? ”
???????? Zhou Wanli smiled bitterly: "What director, isn't he a coolie yet?" And if you look at our Xijiang TV, do you still have a sense of presence in the outside world? It's just a pool of stagnant water, I can't go up, but I can't get down, that's it, anyway, I don't have the confidence to revive this TV station, so I'm waiting for retirement like you. ”
???????? The two shook hands warmly, and then said as they walked.
"I, in fact, also took the opportunity to buy a film this time to come to Shanghai to see my daughter." Zhou Wanli whispered.
"Oh," Li Liqiang suddenly realized, and silently crossed out Xijiang TV in his heart.
There is often a relationship between TV stations and TV stations, and most of the people who come here today know each other, and they can't help but greet each other after meeting, greet each other and chat tentatively with each other.
Bright Times arranged several hotel waiters to entertain these people, Chen Chen came forward to receive them, and Gu Cancan rested in a nearby room, waiting for the appointed time to approach.
Looking at his watch, there were still three minutes before the appointed time, Gu Cancan got up and went to the conference room.
In the conference room, after more than ten minutes of chatting, everything that should be said was said, and the scene was quite quiet, only Chen Chen was introducing some situations in an unhurried tone.
Gu Cancan came to the conference room, and everyone present immediately set their eyes on her.
In the entertainment industry, Gu Cancan is also a special one, famous enough, to be able to see Gu Cancan up close, everyone is still very curious.
It's better to be famous than to meet, no matter whether those rumors are true or not, Gu Cancan himself is really beautiful.
Gu Cancan walked calmly to the main seat, and after the polite opening remarks, he went directly to the topic: "Please come to the leaders, it is for the love apartment to watch the film, I won't say more, first ask the leaders to see the quality of the series." ”
As Gu Cancan's words fell, the lights in the room were turned off, the light dimmed, a large projection screen slowly fell on the wall, and the projector on the conference table began to work.
……
The two consecutive episodes and the special effects battle that Gu Cancan specially asked to be edited were played for 90 minutes, during which no one went to the toilet, and until the end of the screening, at least half of the people left the conference room in a hurry, and the rest of the people had solemn faces.
People who can come to the film club, whether they like TV series like Love Apartment or not, at least they have a vision, and everyone knows very well that unless the plot behind is a mess, it is enough to make the TV station excited by the two episodes broadcast and the special effects fight.
