"This matter is in the hands of the company's copyright department, and I don't know how to sign it, so Mr. Li can ask the copyright department to see."

In fact, the copyright price of old dramas is not high for a single part, and they are usually packaged and sold together.

Fang Xing really won't personally ask about this matter.

As for the price of copyright packaging, there is still a number of years, and these have to be renegotiated.

Li Xueying really wants to renew her contract as soon as possible, and her main goal is "Wulin Gaiden".

However, the copyright of "Wulin Gaiden" still has a year to expire, so it's a little early to talk about it now.

After drinking coffee, Li Xueying went back to continue to participate in the film.

watched a few more episodes of the film group, and after Li Xueying went back, she first chatted with the person in charge of the film group:

"How does it feel?"

"This drama is very simple and simple, and the actors' acting skills are too solid. If there are any shortcomings, the plot makes people feel a little uncomfortable looking at it, and they feel particularly sorry for the heroine, but when it is linked to the background of the story, it makes people feel that the plot is very reasonable. The person in charge of the film group gave an evaluation.

"For the few episodes I've watched now, what is the rating?" Li Xueying asked again.

After watching the film every day, the viewing group will conduct a rating, and then synthesize everyone's ratings to draw a conclusion.

However, I haven't finished reading today's volume yet, so I didn't score it.

The person in charge of the film viewing group has rich experience in participating in the film viewing meeting, and her vision is relatively accurate, she compared a number and said: "It should be able to reach 9 points, the quality of this drama is very hard, and the upper and lower limits are very high." ”

Li Xueying nodded slowly, and chatted with a few other members of the film viewing group, and basically knew it in her heart.

……

A similar situation occurs not only in the viewing group of Penguin Video, but also in the viewing group of other TV stations and video websites.

The competition of video websites is good, and the major websites are mainly worried that Pea Video will spend money to get the exclusive broadcast right, otherwise this drama is likely to be a multi-platform simulcast.

The competition for TV stations is fierce.

Due to the different TV carriers, the competition between TV stations has a strong exclusivity.

Wei Shurong, deputy director of Donghai Satellite TV, usually does not participate in a film viewing meeting once a year, after all, the TV station's viewing group is professional.

Even if Wei Shurong personally participated in the film viewing meeting, he finally listened to the results of the discussion of the film group.

However, every time Ark Culture watched a film meeting, he would participate.

Because the competition is just too fierce.

Xiangjiang Satellite TV, Jiangnan Satellite TV, Kyoto Satellite TV, the top ten provincial satellite TVs, basically came to participate in the viewing party.

In this case, Wei Shurong didn't dare to say that he could win the drama if he didn't come over in person.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Today's viewing meeting is over, starting from the morning, the viewing groups of various David TV and video websites have finished watching the first ten episodes of "Mountains and Seas".

And this show has only twenty-three episodes, which means that half of this drama has been watched.

The story has unfolded, the basic context is clear, even if the next thirteen episodes have not been watched, with the experience of watching the film group, a preliminary conclusion can already be given.

"Weitai, this drama is very much in line with the appetite of the TV audience, although it is a bit bitter, but the plot is to tug at people's hearts, I want to watch it all the time, the emotional expression is very restrained, but the force is just right. This drama can be broadcast, and as long as there are no major problems with the quality of the next thirteen episodes, the ratings will not be low. Liu Renfu, director of film selection on Donghai Satellite TV, gave a high evaluation.

During the film viewing meeting, Wei Shurong had to answer the phone from time to time, so he watched the drama intermittently, but he also watched most of the plot and was very optimistic about this drama.

Wei Shurong thought about it for a moment and asked, "Do you think there is value in solo broadcasting?" ”

Liu Renfu thought for a moment and replied: "If you can broadcast it alone, of course it's good, and the ratings will definitely not be low." But I'm afraid the price is too high. ”

Donghai Satellite TV wants to broadcast exclusively, and other TV stations must think the same way.

As a result of the fierce competition, prices are higher and higher, and eventually beyond the reach of all TV stations.

This is the inevitable result of a big hit.

Unless there is a satellite TV that is particularly bold and smashes a sky-high price, it is very difficult to broadcast alone.

Generally speaking.

The purchase of exclusive broadcasting rights by TV stations usually occurs with some small film and television companies.

When a TV station buys the premiere right of a TV series, in addition to the quality of the series, it will also look at the strength of the director, film and television company, and crew team.

If the director is a well-known director, and the leading actors are all popular actors, major TV stations will definitely grab it.

However, if the director is relatively new and has not become famous, most of the actors are newcomers, or eighteenth-tier actors.

This kind of TV series is not very popular.

The price of the episodes will not be too high.

At this time, if the TV station has a unique vision and sees the potential of this drama, it can directly buy the premiere rights with a little money.

However, the dramas of Ark Culture, since "The Pretender", every drama is a big hit, and the competition is very fierce.

If you want to get the exclusive broadcast rights, it is almost impossible without sky-high prices.

Wei Shurong is very satisfied with "Mountains and Seas", but the plot of this drama is actually a bit bitter.

He now hopes that other TV stations will have a lower evaluation of "Mountains and Seas", so that he can have the opportunity to talk about solo broadcasting.

……

At five o'clock, after discussing the content of the first ten episodes of "Mountains and Seas".

Wei Shurong called Fang Xing and wanted to make an appointment.

"Weitai, I haven't watched the whole episode yet, don't be in such a hurry." Fang Xing replied on the phone.

"Let's meet first, we have something to talk about." Wei Shurong insisted on meeting.

"I'm in the corporate office right now, but it's not very convenient right now." Fang Xing replied.

Wei Shurong didn't care so much, when he got out of the screening hall, he entered the Ark Cultural Headquarters building and took the elevator to the top floor.

As soon as he reached the top floor, Wei Shurong knew what Fang Xing meant when he said inconvenience.

Through the glass wall of the office, I saw Jiang Minghe, the deputy director of Xiangjiang Satellite TV, sitting on the sofa in the office, drinking tea with Fang Xing.

Wei Shurong secretly screamed that it was not good, and he actually let Xiangjiang Satellite TV take the lead.

He didn't care that Fang was inconvenient, so he directly pushed the door in and greeted: "It turns out that Brother Fang has a distinguished guest, Director Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Weitai is also here, Brother Fang and I are drinking tea, this year's new Pu'er, Weitai is also here to try it?" Jiang Minghe greeted generously.

Wei Shurong was also polite and sat down on the couch.

Fang Xing opened a purple clay pot teacup and poured him a cup himself: "The usual busy people have all come together today." ”

The TV station executives I met today, and there are several vice presidents of video websites.

Jiang Minghe said happily: "No, Brother Fang's new drama is out, everyone wants it." ”

Wei Shurong looked at Jiang Minghe and asked, "Xiangjiang Satellite TV decided so quickly?" Why don't you wait to see the full episode before we talk about it? ”

Jiang Minghe smiled and said, "I'm just here to have tea with Brother Fang, nothing else." ”

A smile appeared on Fang Xing's face, and he didn't debunk his words.

In fact.

Before Wei Shurong came, Jiang Minghe had been talking about the stars in "Mountains and Seas".

Moreover, listening to Jiang Minghe's meaning, the viewing group of Xiangjiang Satellite TV has already finished watching the full episode of "Mountains and Seas".

Theoretically speaking, even if the viewing group starts in the morning, it is already very busy to watch ten episodes a day.

However, no one stipulates that the viewing group must start watching the first episode.

It is completely possible to divide the viewing group into two groups, and the second group will watch from the eleventh episode.

If it is not enough, it can even be divided into three groups.

In short, as long as you plan it well, you can watch all 23 episodes in one day.

Due to the proximity of Donghai Satellite TV, several dramas before Fang Xing were broadcast on Donghai Satellite TV.

Several Xiangjiang Satellite TV did not get simulcasts, resulting in a decline in ratings for two consecutive years.

Therefore, in the competition of "Mountains and Seas", Xiangjiang Satellite TV was under more pressure, and as soon as it came up, it directly divided the viewing group into two groups, and watched all 23 episodes on the first day.

Then, the results are comprehensively discussed.

The two groups of the film watching group gave a score of more than 9 points for the first ten episodes and the last thirteen episodes.

This score is very high.

The TV station's viewing group is professional and experienced, and there are very few cases of blindness.

Therefore, as soon as Jiang Minghe got the rating of the film group, he directly ran over to Fang Xing to "drink tea", and talked about the premiere of the star.

It's just that as soon as the conversation began, Wei Shurong came over.

Now that the deputy directors of the two David TV stations are here, it is not good to continue to talk about the premiere rights of "Mountains and Seas", it has really become tea.

Just as the three of them were chatting over tea.

Another man went up to the top floor.

This person is Cao Sanchun, the director of Jiangnan Satellite TV.

At the beginning, when "Langya Bang" was launched.

Cao Sanchun bought "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" and "Langya Bang" to fight in the ring, but lost with a blue nose and swollen face.

Originally, Cao Sanchun had the opportunity to be promoted more than two years ago, but because "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" hit the street, his promotion progress was blocked.

This time, Ark Culture has a new drama, and he hurriedly brought people over to participate in the film viewing party.

You can't capsize the boat twice in the same gutter, so Cao Sanchun is as good as a stream, and like Xiangjiang Satellite TV, he was divided into two groups to finish reading the complete episode of "Mountains and Seas", and then hurried over to find the high-level of Ark culture.

The first person he found was Qiao Yinghong, but Qiao Yinghong was not responsible for this matter.

Qiao Yinghong suggested that he go up to the top floor to talk to Fang Xing.

In fact.

Qiao Yinghong knew that Wei Shurong and Jiang Minghe were on the top floor, and if she sent the director of Jiangnan Satellite TV's film selection, she could get together a table of mahjong.

If it's a business negotiation, you can't put so many TV stations together.

However, the premiere right of a drama is not decided by the high-level meeting and chatting for a while.

Qiao Yinghong put Cao Sanchun on the top floor, the purpose is very simple, that is, to let the senior executives of each David TV meet, so that everyone can fully understand how popular this new drama is.

The more competitive it is, the higher the price of the episodes will naturally be.

Therefore, Cao Sanchun originally went up to the top floor with confidence, planning to win "Mountains and Seas" no matter what method he used after seeing Fang Xing.

It's just that when he went up to the top floor and saw Wei Shurong and Jiang Minghe in the office through the glass wall, he was stunned.

Donghai Satellite TV and Xiangjiang Satellite TV directly sent the deputy director over.

He is just a film selection director, and the gap is immediately apparent.

In fact.

Jiangnan Satellite TV, as one of the top five provincial satellite TV stations in China, has a lot of power over film selection.

What dramas Jiangnan Satellite TV wants to broadcast and what TV programs to buy, it is basically a discussion between the director of film selection and the team in the editor-in-chief's office.

If it is a program with hundreds of millions of dollars, it will be proposed and discussed at a high-level meeting.

However, the leaders of the TV station rarely choose the film in person, so in the end, it is the director who chooses the film.

Therefore, Cao Sanchun is usually a figure that major film and television companies have to stammer.

However, now that Wei Shurong and Jiang Minghe are here, he is a director of film selection, and his momentum is suddenly weak.

But they all came up, and they couldn't go on like this.

He had no choice but to walk up, knock on the door, and go in to say hello.

Wei Shurong saw that people from Jiangnan Satellite TV were also here, and sighed and said: "It's really lively today, it's enough to open a mahjong." ”

Fang Xing and Cao Sanchun have met a few times, and they are not lost, but they can still be named.

"Director Cao, sit down and have a cup of tea. The Pu'er brought by Director Jiang. ”

The status gap is there.

Wei Shurong and Jiang Minghe did not get up to greet Cao Sanchun, they still sat on the sofa, and casually joked: "Does Jiangnan Satellite TV also want to broadcast "Mountains and Seas"? ”

Cao Sanchun showed an embarrassed expression on his face and replied: "This is not the end of the movie, I will come over and report the situation to Director Fang." ”

That's it.

The competition is destined to be fierce, Wei Shurong also let go, and said directly: "This time Donghai Satellite TV wants to broadcast alone, or you all quit." ”

I had been drinking tea just now, and I didn't talk about the premiere of "Mountains and Seas", when Wei Shurong suddenly said this.

Jiang Minghe snorted and said, "Weitai is so courageous. ”

He looked at Cao Sanchun as he said and asked, "You Jiangnan Satellite TV don't have a director, you shouldn't watch "Mountains and Seas" much, right?" I think Jiangnan Satellite TV will quit first. ”

Now the two have made up their minds that one will be persuaded to quit first, and those who are not persuaded to quit will bid again.

Cao Sanchun is embarrassed now.

The deputy director of the two David TV stations was obviously ridiculing him, but he could only laugh with him.

After hurriedly understanding the situation, Cao Sanchun left the cigarettes, wine, and tea he brought over, and then said goodbye and left.

As soon as he left the headquarters building of Ark Culture, he began to call Gong Changlin, deputy director of Jiangnan Satellite TV, to complain:

"Gong Tai, there is a lot of competition for the job this time.

"I just met Wei Shurong and Jiang Minghe in Fang Xing's office, and Donghai Satellite TV and Xiangjiang Satellite TV both want to broadcast "Mountains and Seas" alone.

"It's very difficult to win this drama."

On the other end of the phone, Gong Changlin asked, "Have you finished watching "Mountains and Seas"?" How is the rating of the film group? ”

Cao Sanchun: "It's basically above 9 points." ”

When Gong Changlin heard this score, he pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, I will personally go to the East China Sea in two days to talk to the high-level of Ark Culture." After the viewing of "Mountains and Seas" is over, you will go to entertainment and watch Liu Shiying's "Spring River Plumbing". ”

The post-production of the complicated entertainment "Spring River Plumbing" is also basically completed, and the first cut version will be released in a few days, and there will be a viewing party.

Although Donghai Satellite TV, Xiangjiang Satellite TV, Jiangnan Satellite TV and other provincial satellite TV are now competing for "Mountains and Seas", it does not mean that they will let go of "Spring River Plumbing".

After all, it is the new drama of Liu Shiying, the new queen of Jianlan, plus the director and crew are all first-class in China, as well as the new popular top Zhu Yiting, this drama is also very popular.

Therefore, while competing for "Mountains and Seas", each David TV also sent a viewing group to entertain and participate in the viewing party of "Spring River Plumbing".
