Chapter 278: Mixed Reactions
"Director Zheng, you're here too, I didn't expect your Mango Station to also fall in love with "Step by Step"!"
"Don't you Lychee Satellite TV also keep an eye on it! Haha, it seems that your old boy is very confident. ”
"Director Pei, you Dolphin Satellite TV have already won several big dramas, but I didn't expect to be interested in "Step by Step", with the presence of you wealthy bosses, we poor people will be under great pressure!"
"Director Wu, if you say that, you can't help but exalt us too much, your Litchi Satellite TV's variety show is doing well. We can't compare with you in this area, you just haven't made any effort in the TV series. If you want to say that you are rich, you Lychee Satellite TV are rich, don't you also win Zhang Jizhong's "The Legend of Deer and Ding"! ”
The "Deer and Ding Ji" they are talking about is Zhang Jizhong's version of Huang Xiaoming, although the reputation is not good, but the ratings are unique for a while, this is a commendable shot by Jiangsu Variety Channel, at this time, when I heard others mention it, Director Wu of Litchi Satellite TV was humble in his mouth, but his face was full of joy.
When Su Luo, Hu Mei, and Gu Cancan walked into the conference room, the buzzing discussion came to an abrupt end.
Su Luo and the people present basically knew each other, but most of Gu Cancan's people had only heard of his name and had never seen a real person.
Gu Cancan is more beautiful than in the TV show, she is now eighteen years old, just the age of a flower, and she appeared at the film viewing meeting with a smile, firmly catching the eyes of everyone.
Although she is young, she has a bearing that does not match her age at all, the whole person looks calm and calm, a pair of big apricot eyes are extremely bright, but her eyes are bright and sharp, these old rivers and lakes and Gu Cancan look at each other, you can feel that Gu Cancan is not an object that can be easily fooled.
Su Luo is very familiar with the film purchasing directors of various TV stations, and he keeps introducing Gu Cancan: "Director Zheng, let me introduce you, this is our Gu Cancan Gu. Mr. Gu, this is Director Zheng Mingtao Zheng of Mango Satellite TV, who is responsible for purchasing films! ”
Gu Cancan shook Zheng Mingtao's hand with a smile and said politely: "Director Zheng, please take care of me when we meet for the first time!" ”
Zheng Mingtao looked at Gu Cancan and said approvingly: "I have long heard that Director Gu Cancan is Chu Qiao among young directors in China, and when I saw it today, it really deserved his reputation!" ”
"Where, where, Director Zheng praised it!"
"Alas, speaking of which, my subordinate was really angry with me last time, because she missed the "Love Apartment" in the bright era."
Gu Cancan smiled slightly, and said gently: "I hope that this time our "Step by Step Shocking" can be liked by Director Zheng." ”
At this time, Li Liqiang of Beijing TV came over and took the initiative to greet Zheng Mingtao: "Director Zheng, I am glad to meet you." ”
Then he said to Gu Cancan with a smile on his face: "Mr. Gu, we meet again." ”
Li Liqiang was the person in charge of the last purchase of "Love Apartment", he took the risk to buy the premiere rights of "Love Apartment" at a high price, and as a result, "Love Apartment" became an instant hit during the Spring Festival, and the ratings overwhelmed the crowd, which made Li Liqiang beautiful.
The smile on Zheng Mingtao's face remained unchanged, and he exchanged a few words with Li Liqiang, as for whether he was in MMP in his heart, it is unknown.
Su Luo took Gu Cancan to get to know the heads of major TV stations briefly, and then found a place to sit down.
In the morning, there was a film viewing party, and there was no such thing as a rostrum in the bright era.
At ten o'clock, Su Luo called the host over and ordered the event to start.
The host of the host event is Lu Yujie, this girl is a model, after coming to the bright era, she has always been the advertising director of the bright era, she is promoted, she is also beautiful, and often makes guest appearances in the activities of the bright era.
Lu Yujie came to the rostrum to try out the microphone, and then smiled and said the opening remarks: "Leaders, representatives of TV stations, welcome to the bidding meeting of the bright era!" You are all busy people, I won't say more, and now I ask Su Luo, general manager of our bright times, to explain the rules of bidding to you. ”
Su Luo stood up, and after walking to the podium, a very friendly smile appeared on his face: "Thank you for coming to the viewing meeting of "Step by Step", let me briefly talk about the rules, everyone is here to buy a film today, and you must inspect the goods when you buy something, we will play the first five episodes of the TV series, so that everyone can see the specific effect, how the quality of "Step by Step" is, I believe that everyone will have a conclusion after watching the film." At 4 p.m., we officially bid for it! In order to avoid price gouging, we adopted the form of hidden bidding this time. The highest bidder gets the premiere rights of "Step by Step"! All of you here are busy people with hundreds of thousands of people a second, so I won't be verbose, so let's take a look at the effect of the finished film! ”
The people from the TV station in the audience looked at each other a few times, and the bidding of the bright era this time was a hidden bid, which was a bit interesting.
Soon, the lights went out in the conference room, and it was pitch black.
A light appeared on the screen, and "Step by Step" began to play.
omitted the opening song, and it was directly the feature film.
At the beginning, Wan Qian, who was dressed as an urban beauty, was on the phone, and a few words revealed that she was a shrewd and professional actuary, after this phone call, Wan Qian took the elevator downstairs and met a child playing in front of a staircase, in order to save the child who almost fell down, Wan Qian rolled down the steps, bleeding profusely. Then the picture gradually darkened, and after it lit up again, it was Wan Qian's first perspective, and in the haze, I saw several figures dressed as Qing Dynasty maids, and after an inner monologue, Wan Qian woke up, talked to the little maid, and then looked around the room, leading to her current situation, crossed, and the soul pierced.
This story is fast-paced, and the situation of the protagonist is over-named from modern times to ancient times, and it takes less than five minutes to explain it directly and clearly.
As the host, Lu Yujie was secretly observing the reactions of Gu Cancan Su Luo and various film buyers at first, but as the plot developed, she was completely attracted, and the atmosphere of the whole play was created too well, and she couldn't help but be immersed in the plot.
From a professional point of view, the buyers of the TV station also feel that this TV series has a very good start and is very attractive.
And the film can clearly see the meticulousness of the crew in the scene layout, whether it is food and clothing and the decorative calligraphy and paintings on the wall, all of which show that "Step by Step" is definitely a well-made TV series.
Three and a half hours later, the first five episodes of "Step by Step" were finished, and the lights in the room came back on.
All the buyers present breathed a long sigh of relief from the atmosphere in the TV series.
For more than three hours, all the buyers stared intently at the screen, their eyes were not instantaneous, and they were extremely attentive.
They are all attracted by the story, and they are completely caught in the plot, following the constant ups and downs of the protagonist's fate and heartbeat.
Now. Everyone has only one thought in their hearts, this drama is amazing!
"Step by Step" is different from other domestic TV series at this time, the rhythm is extremely fast, the amount of information is huge, the whole drama is exciting, the plot is reasonable and meticulous, and people dare not take a breath in the process of watching, it is a well-crafted masterpiece.
If everyone was only very interested in the procurement of the TV series "Step by Step" before, then now, the purchasing directors of the first-line TV stations led by CCTV Satellite TV have made up their minds to purchase them.
The whole TV series is well-made, whether it is the acting skills of the actors, the image of the characters, the structure of the plot, the effect of the picture, and the novel theme of crossing the Qing Palace, the heroine is likable, there is no doubt that this drama will definitely be popular!
This is a TV series that has the potential to become a classic!
"It's wonderful, it's really wonderful! This is different from previous historical dramas, young people will like such dramas, and they will definitely be popular! We have to try our best to win 8 sets of CCTV in this drama! Wang Shihui, director of CCTV TV drama channel film purchase, secretly made up his mind.
"Excellent! As long as it is well promoted, supported by the huge readership of the original work, and the quality of the TV series is good, young people may be able to become the main audience of this TV series. We must win "Step by Step", we at Mango Satellite TV missed "Love Apartment" last year, and we can't miss "Step by Step" this year! Mango Satellite TV's Zheng Mingtao's eyes were no longer on the screen, and he began to think about the quote.
"This will be a classic, and Mango TV, Lychee TV, these TV stations will definitely pay a high price. If you want to win this drama, I am afraid that you will have to come up with an unprecedented price, at least 600,000, or even 700,000, this price is too risky. Do you want to take a gamble and win the premiere rights? Li Liqiang from Beijing Satellite TV pondered immediately after the shock.
At the same time, the heads of other TV stations are also thinking about this problem, the big TV stations are thinking about how much they have to pay to win the premiere rights, while the small TV stations know that there is no hope of winning the premiere rights, and they are thinking about what price can win the second round of broadcast rights.
Gu Cancan and Su Luo quietly observed everyone's reactions, and after watching for a while, the stones in their hearts fell to the ground, it seemed that they were very satisfied, this time "Step by Step" was definitely going to be a big hit.
Su Luo broke the quiet atmosphere now, and said with a smile: "Delegates, directors, we have missed the lunch meal, let's hurry up and have a light meal first, everyone has finished eating, consider the price clearly, how about we officially start bidding at four o'clock in the afternoon?" ”
Naturally, the buyers who came to buy the film would not object, they went to eat first, watched the film for three hours, and everyone was hungry.
After eating, the Bright Times first invited them to rest for half an hour, which was also the time reserved for them to negotiate the bid.
Mango Satellite TV's film purchasing director Zheng Mingtao and his assistant sat on the sofa in the hotel, both of them frowning.
They have already made up their minds to win "Step by Step", but this time "Step by Step" adopts the method of secret bidding, and neither of them knows what the psychological price of the other party is.
"Xiao Wang, how much do you think we should offer?" Zheng Mingtao hesitated for a long time and still couldn't pay attention, so he asked his assistant Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang thought calmly: "From my point of view, there is a great chance that this drama can be liked by young people, especially young women, and with the original readership as the foundation, the ratings will not be low." I think we need to get the premiere rights as much as possible, and this show has the potential to become the king of dramas. Another point, Zheng Tou'er, I think that if it falls into the hands of Litchi Satellite TV, it will pose a big threat to us. Think about it, if "Huanzhu Gege" did not fall into our hands, but in the hands of Lizhi Satellite TV, what would be the effect. So we must win this play, even if it is smashed in our hands, we will admit it, but it must not fall into the hands of our opponents! ”
Zheng Mingtao looked at Xiao Wang appreciatively, Xiao Wang was very thoughtful, and felt much stronger than Zeng Jing.
"Xiao Wang, how much do you think we should pay?"
Xiao Wang knew how to hide it at this time, and deliberately asked: "I don't know much about these, Director Zheng, you have rich experience in buying films, and you know the people of Brother Station well, do you think it's appropriate for us to pay more money?" ”
Zheng Mingtao was slapped a little, felt comfortable, and said with a smile: "The quality of this drama is very high, it will definitely be popular, CCTV, Beijing Satellite TV and Litchi Satellite TV will definitely buy it at a high price, I estimate that their price is between 500,000 and 600,000, for the sake of insurance, we will pay 700,000!" ”
Xiao Wang's heart was shocked, the price of 700,000 yuan is really the highest bid for Mango Satellite TV's film purchase this year.
In another room, Li Liqiang of Beijing Satellite TV is in a tangle.
In his opinion, "Step by Step" is too exciting, and Li Liqiang believes that "Step by Step" will definitely be a hit, and may even cause a sensation. This drama is very well-made, the plot is full of attractiveness, several leading actors have a certain reputation, and they are beautiful, full of various factors to attract the market, so he hopes to buy the exclusive broadcast rights of "Step by Step".
Li Liqiang has been the director of film acquisition for just one year, but now his position is a little unstable, and the director of film purchase is a fat shortage, and Li Liqiang continues to sit on this It is very eye-catching.
He had already heard the rumors, someone was already moving, and they wanted to sit in his position, so Li Liqiang had to make some achievements, otherwise it would not be long before he was moved.
Now "Step by Step" gives him a little hope, if "Step by Step" is popular and the advertising is a big sale, then he can get the attention of the station.
However, there are TV stations with deep pockets such as CCTV, Mango Satellite TV, and Litchi Satellite TV, and they must spend a high price to win the exclusive broadcast rights of "Step by Step".
Although Beijing Satellite TV can't compare with CCTV and Mango Satellite TV, it's no problem to win "Step by Step", but if the price is too high, if the ratings of "Step by Step Horror" are not ideal, then the price of advertising will not be raised. If the cost cannot be recovered, then Li Liqiang will be completely finished.
For Li Liqiang, this is an opportunity for both risks and opportunities, and it is also a gamble, and he walks around the room anxiously, full of contradictions.
