Chapter 195: Sky-high broadcast rights
After one billion, no one added one or two hundred million more, and everyone was a lot more careful in bidding, and they were all bidding upwards of one or two hundred million to test the psychological price of other bidders. When the quotation exceeded 1.1 billion, there were only five TV stations left that were still raising prices. Several people glanced at each other, and they knew that they were still those old opponents. These five TV stations are among the top TV channels in terms of ratings, and their annual revenue starts at 10 billion, and many can reach hundreds of billions, so they are naturally wealthy. When encountering really good things, these TV stations are the most willing to put down their capital.
"We, Shonan Satellite TV, bid 1150 million."
"Eleven 600 million, Mango TV."
"Eleven 80 million, Southeast Satellite TV."
"1.2 billion, we Dragon TV will give 1.2 billion, this is also our last offer, if anyone offers higher, we will give up directly."
Deputy Director Fang of Dragon TV stood up, panted, and quoted a sky-high price of 1.2 billion. After the price was quoted, he didn't sit down, still standing there with a nervous face, scanning the few people who might increase the price. What reassured him was that those people all sighed and gave up the bid.
Zhihe stood on the stage, naturally saw the expressions of the people below in his eyes, and knew that this was the final price of "Open Heaven", and smiled at the moment: "Congratulations to Director Fang of Dragon TV, who won the first round of TV broadcast rights of "Open Heaven" at the price of 1.2 billion. ”
Deputy Director Fang of Dragon TV was invited to the stage, and the two sides signed a broadcast agreement on the spot, and the first round of broadcast rights of the "Open Sky" TV series was officially finalized. After signing the contract, Zhihe shook Deputy Director Fang's hand and said, "I believe it won't be long before you will be proud of today's wise decision." ”
Deputy Director Fang smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhi said that he was joking, you don't know how much pressure I put on the price of 1.2 billion." We don't expect how much money I make, as long as I don't lose too much money, I will burn high incense. ”
Deputy Director Fang really didn't lie, he quoted the price of 1.2 billion, just to lose money. In fact, after the price exceeds one billion, it is already very difficult to recover the cost through advertising fees, but there are still so many TV stations that increase the price, because they have taken a fancy to the huge number of viewers that "Open Sky" can bring. For TV stations, there is nothing more valuable than ratings, and when the ratings are high, the overall efficiency of the TV station will increase. And broadcasting popular TV series is undoubtedly a magic weapon to increase ratings. So many times, people at the TV station know that they are going to lose money, and they will pinch their noses and pay a high price to snap up the broadcast rights of a popular drama.
Next is the second round of bidding for broadcast rights, and this time there are more TV stations participating in the bidding than when the first round of broadcast rights were auctioned, but the bids have been reduced by half, to the level of five or six billion. After several rounds of bidding, the second round of broadcasting rights was finally won by Mango Satellite TV at a price of 800 million. This price is also scary, exceeding the first-round broadcast price of more than 99% of TV dramas.
After signing the contract with Mango Satellite TV, Zhihe returned to the stage and said: "Today's viewing will end here, thank you very much for your participation." ”
"How could it be over, isn't there still three or four rounds and long-term broadcast rights after the first and second rounds?"
"That's right, we, the low-ranking TV stations, are still waiting to buy the broadcast rights in the next few rounds, how can it end here."
Hearing Zhihe say this, everyone suddenly stopped, and many TV stations in remote areas sat for an afternoon, and the price was not reported once, so they waited to pick up the bargain in the next few rounds. You tell them now, there is no more behind, how can they not be in a hurry.
Zhihe pressed his hand, signaled everyone to calm down, and then said: "I can understand everyone's thoughts and feelings, but our Xingchen Film and Television are very confident in the "Open Heaven" TV series, so the auction of other rounds of broadcast rights will start after the first round of playback." At that time, what is the quality of "Open Heaven" and whether it will be welcomed by the audience, it can be regarded as a conclusion, and everyone can buy the follow-up broadcast rights again, and they can also know whether they are right. Okay, that's all, I hope we can meet again next time, thank you. ”
Zhihe has already said this, what else can they say, these people can only complain a few words, and leave with some complicated feelings. They all understand that after a round of playing, I'm afraid there will be nothing cheap to pick up. How exciting the "Open Heaven" TV series is, after watching eight episodes, they are naturally clear. They are all old birds in the circle, whether a TV series will be loved by the audience can be estimated, "Open Heaven" is undoubtedly the type that attracts the audience the most.
In the last days, Qinglong Town, Jiao Bai put the last piece of equipment into his personal space and let out a sigh of relief. After six days of busy work day and night, Jiao Bai finally gathered all the equipment needed for the Sheshan Research Institute. He also transported two graphene production lines, two battery production lines, and one automobile production line back to Earth and stored them in a warehouse on the outskirts of Mombasa.
Back on Earth, Jiao Bai appeared in the corner of a warehouse, where Tang Guyun was leading more than a dozen zombies to deal with these mechanical equipment. Tang Guyun was brought to Earth by Jiao Bai on the third day. After learning about all aspects of the earth, it finally understood what Jiao Bai meant when he first summoned her, "I have my own usefulness", and what was meant by the usefulness in it. It's amazing that the boss has a whole new world without the loss of the virus.
The task given to Tang Guyun by Jiao Bai was to lead the loss, remove the Chinese traditional Chinese signs on all the equipment, and erase some model markings on them that did not belong to the earth system. Once completed, the equipment is then packed and packed into containers for easy transportation. It's not a difficult job, but it's extremely tedious and requires a lot of time and patience. Fortunately, the losers don't know what boring is, and this kind of work that doesn't require too much brainstorming is best suited for them.
Seeing Jiao Bai appear, Tang Guyun stepped forward and greeted, "Boss, you're back." ”
Jiao Bai nodded and asked, "How much has the work given to you been completed, and how many days do you estimate it will take to complete?" ”
Tang Guyun thought for a while, frowned and replied: "It has just been bent by less than one-fifth, and it will take more than half a month to complete it all." ”
"More than half a month, fortunately, it's not too long, and it basically can't delay the follow-up work. So, tomorrow I'll fly back to China, and you stay here with them and keep going. After finishing it, I went to Peng Jie and asked her to arrange for the cargo ship to send these equipment back to China one after another. There is no need to be in a hurry in terms of time, and it is guaranteed to be delivered before March next year. ”
