Chapter 193: Watching the Film
"Mr. Zhang's statement,I can't agree with it,There are also not a few people who use network TV to watch online videos at home,Besides, the current mobile phone configuration is getting higher and higher,The size and resolution of the screen are getting bigger and bigger,Whether the picture is exquisite or not can still reflect a lot。
……
The negotiations between the two sides were much more difficult than expected, and the gap between each other's ideas was too great, but neither wanted to give up this opportunity, and they were trying their best to persuade the other party to accept their own conditions, but neither could do this. As a result, the number of people could only be increased, and the scale of the negotiation gradually expanded from two people, to four, six, and eight people...... The negotiation time has also been extended repeatedly, and even the planned screening of Xingchen Film and Television has to be postponed. In the end, with the participation of more than 20 people, it took four days before and after, and the opinions of the two sides finally reached an agreement. The final result is that both sides give a step, Penguin Video paid one billion and got the right to broadcast the "Open Heaven" TV series, but the final benefits from the "Open Heaven" TV series will be distributed to Xingchen Film and Television 20.
After signing the contract, Mr. Zhang of Penguin Video held Zhihe's hand and sighed: "Mr. Zhi, this is the first time I have encountered such a difficult negotiation opponent, and Mr. Zhi is still so young, it is really terrifying." ”
"Mr. Zhang's reputation is overblown, it's just for the survival of the company. Our Xingchen Film and Television has just been created, everything is starting from scratch, and all aspects need money, so we have to be careful with our calculations. If there is something offended, Mr. Zhang should not be surprised. ”
Mr. Zhang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How come, Xingchen Film and Television has talents, content, technology, and is our upstream company, we dare not offend." I heard from a colleague on the Internet that another of your Chairman Jiao's martial arts "Young Jianghu Xing" is also going to be adapted into a TV series, and you must give priority to selling it to our company at that time. If there is a lack of investment, you can speak, but if you don't dare to say more, we still have 560 million Penguin Films. ”
Zhihe nodded with a smile, but he didn't promise anything, after all, "Young Jianghuxing" hasn't even been filmed, and it's too early to say this.
Sending away the negotiation team of Penguin Film and Television, Xingchen Film and Television announced the news on the official website Weibo for the first time. Later, Penguin Video also posted this news on the official website, and at the same time, Penguin Video launched its own huge promotion channels to increase the promotion of the "Open Sky" TV series.
On the second day, an entertainment media reported the news that "Penguin Video spent one billion yuan to purchase the online broadcast rights of the TV series "Open Sky", and other media also followed up and reported, and for a while, Xingchen Film and Penguin Video were pushed down on the cusp of public opinion.
In the past, TV dramas also sold copyrights to more than one billion, but that was the number added by the network broadcast rights plus rounds of TV broadcast rights. Like "Open Heaven", only one online broadcast right, not an exclusive license, sold for a high price of one billion, which has never been seen before, and "Open Heaven" can be regarded as a precedent.
Netizens are very curious about "Open Heaven" and want to see what kind of TV series can sell at such a sky-high price. A search on the Internet, the search engine gives results in front of several trailers of "Open Heaven", followed by "Open Heaven" games and "Open Heaven". After watching a few wonderful trailers, netizens feel that they are still unsatisfied, and the feature film must not be searchable, after all, neither TV stations nor online channels have been broadcast. But isn't there a game, let's go over and see what kind of story "Open Heaven" is about.
So before the TV series was broadcast, the game "Open Heaven" benefited in advance, and millions of people poured in. It's hard to say how many percent of these people will eventually stay and become paying users, but the base is too large, even if they can leave one or two percent, it's a great achievement. And don't forget that the "Open Sky" TV series hasn't been broadcast yet, and now it's just a pre-promotion, so it can have such an effect, and when the TV series is actually broadcast, the drainage effect on the game will be greater, more than ten times more than now, and dozens of times is not impossible.
In such a wave of public opinion, the viewing of the "Open Heaven" TV series officially began in the viewing room of Xingchen Film and Television. Affected by the popularity of "Open Heaven", the satellite TV stations in various provinces basically sent people to participate in this film viewing meeting, and even CCTV 8 sent a director to buy films. With so many people crammed into a viewing room of less than 100 square meters, the excitement can be imagined.
In fact, many of these people who came knew each other, and the people present were either the deputy directors of each guard, or the director of film purchases, etc., in the past in the film viewing meetings held by other film and television companies, these people met a lot, and even some people pinched up because of the ownership of an excellent TV series. But everyone is a scene person, even if the last time they met, they were tense and staged a full martial arts, this time they still call themselves brothers, and even sit together, drink and chat.
"Director Jia, you are also here, didn't your Mango Satellite TV just spend a huge amount of money to win Oriental Media's "Xi Linglong", and still have the money to participate in the competition of "Open Heaven"?"
"Director Guo, I'm glad to be happy, I don't like to hear what you say, our Mango Satellite TV family has a big business, and we can still take out hundreds of millions of yuan."
"Looking at today's situation, I'm afraid that hundreds of millions are not enough, and if I don't prepare more than a billion, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it."
"No, in the past, there weren't many single TV series that sold 500 million, can "Open Sky" still break 1 billion. I heard that the TV series "Open Sky" has the investment of Tencent's network, and Penguin Video and the network are a family, and they are also related to Xingchen Film and Television. You said that this 'billion purchase of online broadcast rights', could it be that the two families negotiated and released fake news in order to raise the price of the "Open Heaven" TV series? ”
"It's hard to say, I know Mr. Zhang of Penguin Video, and he talked about buying the online broadcast rights of the TV series "Open Sky". Before I came, I called him and asked him how the "Open Heaven" TV series was, but the old fox only said four words - 'wonderful', and he couldn't open his mouth when he asked again. ”
"If it's really their two companies joining forces to do the game, then we have to keep an eye on it, I propose, let's set a maximum price, and after it is exceeded, everyone will let it go, and let the "Open Sky" TV series rot into their own hands."
"This proposal is good, the price of TV dramas has become more and more expensive in the past two years, and many single episodes have exceeded 10 million, if this continues, our TV station will be unprofitable, and it is time to restrict these film and television companies. I propose that the upper limit be set at 800 million, 20 million per episode, which is enough to give Jiao Bai, the richest man in the new department, face. ”
