Chapter 275: One hundred million
In this time and space, the 80 million investment announced by "Fairy Sword" is already quite high.
This year, in addition to a large-scale historical costume drama and a martial arts drama, "Sword and Fairy" is already the largest investment masterpiece.
And on the earth in 2017, a TV series with an investment of 80 million is really nothing.
The entertainment industry on the planet has developed a little sickly.
80 million, not even enough for salary.
Some TV series with a relatively large number of episodes, the single salary of the starring actor alone, more than 50 million abound!
Those popular flowers and small fresh meats have salaries starting from tens of millions, or even nearly 100 million.
Produced by the original team of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "The Legend of Ruyi" starring Zhou Xun as the starring role, the salary exposed before is that Zhou Xun alone gets 95 million!
Sky-high price!
And the consequent consequence is that for this kind of popular TV series, the purchase price of the TV station is also inflated.
In recent years, the competition of TV stations has become more and more fierce, and in order to compete for popular TV series, many TV stations do not hesitate to pay high prices.
And the first round of broadcast rights of "The Legend of Ruyi" was sold to two provincial satellite TV stations on the stars, each with 3 million, a total of 6 million episodes!
Where did the money come from? Naturally, it is earned from advertisers.
In recent years, the advertising naming fee has also risen, and the naming fee of a popular variety show has easily exceeded 100 million.
The chain reaction of this series of vicious circles has led to the current entertainment industry being sick and even deformed.
According to today's situation, the number of people who use video websites has far exceeded the number of people who watch TV, so the impact of this is that the right to broadcast online is more expensive than the right to broadcast TV.
The selling price of "The Legend of Ruyi" is 9 million per episode!
Yes, there are video websites that bought the broadcast rights of "The Legend of Ruyi" at a sky-high price of 9 million per episode.
In other words, just for TV stations and video websites, the revenue of a single episode of "The Legend of Ruyi" is as high as 15 million, and "The Legend of Ruyi" has a full 90 episodes.....
More than a billion royalties!
As soon as this news came out, it was not only a sensation in the industry, but also a national shock!
And this time and space have not yet developed to this point, but the signs have already appeared.
Like Huang Runjie, who was ruined some time ago because of X poison, before starring in Xu Yiyi's "My Adolescence", his TV series salary was 600,000 yuan for a single episode.
A popular idol with no acting skills, the asking price of a single episode has reached 600,000, and the salary for a drama is easily tens of millions.
It can be said that the current situation of time and space is a bit like the earth a few years ago.
Not terminally ill, but already sick.
If this vicious circle continues, in a few years, the salary of more than 100 million yuan may abound.
Of course, the higher the actors' salaries, the less investment they have in other places, such as special effects.
There is no way, the producer has given all the money to the actors, and there is really no money for the special effects.
For example, after AB Yang Ying asked for 80 million, "Lonely Fang Doesn't Appreciate Yourself" was made into a picture deduction drama.
The crew is actually becoming more and more shameless, anyway, everyone is a five-cent special effect, everyone is the same!
So as soon as the trailer of "Fairy Sword" came out, the special effects directly shocked the audience's attention.
Some professionals said that in this "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", it is likely that a large amount of money will be spent on special effects, not to mention 30 million!
Tianfang Entertainment did not give a clear answer to this, but released a second trailer.
In the trailer, it is the scene where the wine sword fairy played by Zhang Mingyu teaches Li Xiaoyao swordsmanship.
As soon as the miraculous swordsmanship came out, netizens were directly stunned.
Fuck, compared to swordsmanship, those bullshit sword tricks in martial arts movies are a hair!
This is Xianxia! It turns out that this is Xianxia!
There is also the chivalrous spirit, and the elegant and chic of the fairy!
The expectation value will go up.
And the special effects are so cool that it doesn't feel like you're watching a TV series, but a blockbuster!
The absolute best conscience masterpiece of the year!
Especially this year, the martial arts masterpiece "Night Man", which claims to have invested more than 100 million yuan, was compared with "Fairy Sword", and was directly crushed by "Fairy Sword" in terms of special effects!
What's more, with "Residual Sin" as the foundation, everyone is confident in Lu Xiaosu's screenwriting level, and the storytelling will definitely not be bad.
The main thing is that it is too novel, and the mode of Xianxia is too new for them!
All of a sudden, the whole people are looking forward to it!
As a result, the three TV stations were a little uncertain.
"Sword and Fairy" is so popular now, what price is more reasonable?
.....
.....
Shonan Satellite TV, the popularity of "Fairy Sword" directly shocked the director and deputy director.
Director Ouyang Hua and Deputy Director Hu Qiang are sitting together.
"What do you think of this "Fairy Sword"?" Ouyang Hua said.
"I think it is bound to win the exclusive broadcast right, and compared with other TV series, I am more optimistic about this Xianxia drama." Hu Qiang said.
His meaning is obvious, if we take it without taking others, it will become a big threat!
Ouyang Hua nodded and said, "Compared with those martial arts dramas, this so-called Xianxia drama is indeed very fresh. ”
He paused and continued, "Isn't there any intention of Tianfang Entertainment to make an offer? ”
Hu Qiang shook his head and said, "No, it's still waiting for the price to sell." ”
"The format changes really fast, I remember that in the first two years, Tianfang Entertainment wanted to expand the film and television industry, and none of the TV series it did were willing to buy on Star TV." Ouyang Hua smiled.
Hu Qiang nodded and said, "Isn't it because of that Lu Xiaosu?" Not to mention, he is still very close to our Shonan Satellite TV, if it weren't for him before, the ratings of "Tomorrow's Singer" in charge of Yang Shu would not be so high. ”
Ouyang Hua glanced at Hu Qiang in surprise and said, "It seems that you are very optimistic about that kid?" ”
"Well, he's a genius. To tell the truth, I still stayed up late to watch "Residual Sin" that he filmed before. Hu Qiang took a sip of hot water and said.
Ouyang Hua hadn't watched "Residual Sin", but he had heard of it.
After all, this online drama is too popular this year, and the broadcast volume directly crushes those large-scale TV series, and Lu Xiaosu is tantamount to creating a myth of the number of online drama broadcasts.
I just don't know, can this "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" also create a ratings myth for TV series?
"You go talk about it, the bottom line of our TV station is 3 million, and I think the other two TV stations should not be able to come up with a higher price." Ouyang Hua said directly.
Shonan Satellite TV has been able to rank first in ratings for so many years, which is inseparable from his courage.
Hu Qiang nodded, and after walking out of the office, he sent someone to negotiate with Tianfang Entertainment.
Hanbei Satellite TV and Hesu Satellite TV have also contacted Tianfang Entertainment in the past few days, among them, Hesu Satellite TV couldn't talk about it first, and the price was 2 million per episode, and Hanbei Satellite TV opened the price to 2.4 million.
With the strong intervention of Shonan Satellite TV, Hanbei Satellite TV set the price at 2.6 million and did not dare to increase it further.
And Shonan Satellite TV opened to 2.8 million.
"Tell them that 3 million per episode, the second round of broadcast rights will be given priority to Shonan Satellite TV." Lu Xiaosu said to Xiaojuan.
Xiao Juan nodded.
In the end, Ouyang Hua and Hu Qiang discussed it and agreed.
I always feel that this kid has touched our bottom, and he is quite knowledgeable.
34 episodes of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", the first round of TV exclusive broadcast rights is equivalent to selling 100 million!
As soon as the news came out, there was an earthquake in the industry.
Shonan Satellite TV is rushing to break 4 in the ratings! If you don't break 4, this deal is not cost-effective.
This year, there has never been a drama with ratings breaking 4.
Judging from the current popularity, it is not impossible to break 4, the key is to look at the content of the feature film.
