Chapter 275: "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" was broadcast
The online exclusive broadcast copyright fee of "My Leader, My Group" has been called to 150 million.
This price is from Penguin's Bi Feihong.
Bi Feihong actually didn't expect this drama to be so cheap, after all, he was completely distracted when he watched the drama, and he didn't have the ability to judge the specific quality of this drama.
Of course, this does not mean that Bi Feihong has a problem with his IQ.
After the other three stopped bidding, he also realized that there must be something wrong with the show.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Xu Ji's drama to have such a price, which is different from what he knew before.
However, Bi Feihong had previously reached 140 million from bamboo, and his price increase was not particularly ruthless.
At that time, Xu Sheng's original words were to get the copyright of the show back at any cost.
Even a budget of 300 million was given, and if the competition was too fierce, you could also apply to the other party to increase the budget.
Therefore, Bi Feihong only knew that he had successfully completed the task at this time, and as for whether the deal was ultimately profitable or lost, it was not within the scope of his assessment.
The happiest is naturally Song Ideal, he didn't expect that a few people didn't seem to be so optimistic about this drama, but they could still offer such a high price.
More than 50 percent of the investment amount, plus the copyright income of the TV station later, the income even reached 200 percent.
However, Song Ideal is not very willing to let Bi Feihong get the copyright.
Because he has heard of the grievances between Xu Ji and Penguin Video, none of Xu Ji's dramas have appeared on the other party's platform.
After the cooperation of this drama, Song Ideal actually saw the potential of Xu Ji.
In the future, I hope to continue to cooperate with each other.
"Director Song, if there is no problem, we can sign the contract tomorrow."
"I've brought the company's lawyer."
Bi Feihong wanted to finalize this matter as soon as possible, so as not to cause any changes.
After all, at this time, Chi Jiang, Congzhu, and Su Liangcai all had tangled expressions, as if they were hesitating to continue to increase the price.
"The kiwi fruit side can only give a maximum of 150 million in copyright fees."
Congzhu said at this time.
This is indeed the bottom line that she can bear, if there is more, when the loss of this drama is beyond the scope of bearing, she herself will definitely be held accountable.
At that time, some projects that are not in charge of it will be robbed, maybe Hu Lei will use the topic to play a role, and her position as vice president will not be guaranteed.
As for Chi Jiang and Su Liangcai at this time, they tacitly understood and did not speak.
Although Station G and Tudou Video have relevant budgets, such a drama with a high probability of not being too popular is still too risky.
Even Chi Jiang, who had always trusted Xu Ji very much, became rational at this time.
Before watching the complete plot of this show, he must be willing to pay a high price to gamble.
But after watching this drama, Chi Jiang still prefers to trust his own judgment.
Of course, whether a drama is popular or not, whether the quality is high or not, and whether the reputation is good or not, in fact, sometimes there is not much connection.
The threshold for watching this drama is there, and the depressing plot and relatively slow rhythm alone have already persuaded most ordinary audiences.
】
In addition, it is true that the copyright fees of "Chess Soul" and "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" have just been taken out recently, and the budget is a little tight.
and bought the copyright of "Wushuang", which is also a lot of money.
After Chi Jiang hesitated, he still gave up, the price of 150 million was still too high.
After Bi Feihong heard the price increase from bamboo, his expression was natural, and he did not offer a higher price at the first time.
He is actually still a little conceited, after all, Penguin Video is now the largest online platform, and the publicity resources alone can open a big gap with the kiwi fruit.
At the same price, he believes that Song Ideal will know how to make a choice.
But what he didn't expect at all was that Song Ideal apologized directly to him at this time:
"I'm sorry Mr. Bi, let's cooperate next time."
Congzhu was still a little apprehensive, but after hearing Song Ideal's words, he was suddenly a little surprised.
Su Liangcai and Chi Jiang were also obviously stunned for a moment, they also thought that Song Ideal would choose the penguin's side.
Then a few people suddenly remembered that although Song Ideal was in charge of this drama, another investor was Xu Ji.
The industry knows that Xu Ji and Penguin Video don't deal with each other.
Obviously, Song Ideal was also affected by this incident.
Congzhu took advantage of Bi Feihong's failure to react, and quickly grabbed Song Ideal's hand.
"Director Song, happy cooperation!"
"It's a pleasure to work with."
Bi Feihong reacted and wanted to increase the price or something, but he didn't expect to miss the opportunity in vain.
"Director Song, we can add money!"
"How about 160 million?"
Song Ideal was obviously stunned for a moment after hearing this.
But then he shook his head with a smile.
"Mr. Bi, I'm sorry, although I, Song Ideal, am not a very powerful person, but I still have to talk."
"If we have the chance, we will work together next time."
Song Ideal's words made Congzhu breathe a sigh of relief.
If Bi Feihong really continues to increase the price, he really can't bear it.
And obviously, Song Ideal has concerns about Penguin Video because of Xu Ji.
was able to win the copyright of this show, although it was a little impulsive, but overall Congzhu was still relatively happy.
For the publicity and distribution of this drama, Congzhu has decided to be personally responsible.
Although the theme and content of the drama itself are not very pleasing, it does not have the potential of those popular dramas.
But if the popularity is enough, coupled with the influence of word of mouth, it is still very likely to be able to get good results.
The goal is also very clear, and it is earned to be able to return to the cost during the broadcast.
A drama of such quality, even if it is not popular in the future, it is definitely a good thing in the film and television library of Kiwifruit.
......
In this way, by the time Xu Ji received the news, the copyright of the show had been sold.
The price of 150 million is also very satisfied.
However, because the network copyright requires that it be broadcast at the same time, not updated after the TV station finishes broadcasting.
Therefore, it is estimated that the price of TV rights cannot be sold so high.
It is estimated that it will not exceed 100 million.
Xu Ji actually didn't know the bottom of his heart, because in the world of memory, there was even a big problem with the ratings of this "My Captain, My Group".
At that time, there was a TV station that even took the initiative to stop broadcasting because of the poor ratings when it was even broadcasting 30 episodes.
However, in the last life, when "My Captain, My Group" was broadcast, the network was not so developed.
Information doesn't spread as fast as it does now.
The current drama has the blessing of word-of-mouth, especially the score of Petal.com, which is more than 8 points, which can also bring a lot of popularity.
At the same time, some video self-media will also be one of the publicity channels for word-of-mouth dramas.
So it's still unknown whether it will pounce so badly.
But because of the theme and plot of the play itself, it is destined to be a niche drama, and it will not become a big hit like "Soldier Assault".
......
Although he did not get the copyright of "My Regiment Leader, My Regiment", Chi Jiang's work still has to continue.
There is only less than a week left for the broadcast time of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night".
The publicity and distribution work is still proceeding in an orderly manner.
What surprised Chi Jiang was that after entering September, except for Station G, several other companies did not have any competitive dramas online.
Including Penguin, the three major video platforms all promoted the upcoming dramas in September, which are basically some low-cost dramas that don't even have first-line actors.
Although I don't know if it's because of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", this is definitely not bad news.
At least for nearly half a month after the start of the broadcast, and throughout September, there were no competitors.
Basically, the traffic is on "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night".
Of course, it doesn't mean that a drama launched in such a situation will definitely be popular, and overturning is also a common thing.
However, Chi Jiang has confidence in "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night".
"Why is this show so powerful?"
Chi Jiang was really busy during this time, and he was used to sleeping on the sofa in his office for a while when he was sleepy at noon.
But somehow, he, who had never dreamed before, suddenly dreamed this time.
In the dream, he also became a member of the expeditionary force, and when he saw the dragon article in the play, he said with tears in his eyes:
"Let's go, I'll take you home!"
Chi Jiang suddenly felt a little regretful at this time, maybe he should have been willful at that time and bought the copyright of this drama.
Although there may be losses commercially, such a drama is indeed worth it.
......
On the third day before the broadcast of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", Xu Ji also received an invitation from the crew of "The Masked Singer".
During this time, Xu Ji himself was not idle, the company's four crews, Pang Er and other directors came to him almost whenever they had time.
And as the director of the four dramas, he is actually not a simple name.
In terms of casting, framing, and even more details, Xu Ji gave a lot of advice to several directors.
Xu Ji even regretted that he had set up so many projects at one time.
But fortunately, the people selected are quite reliable, including the four directors including Pang Er, the formation of the crew has basically been completed.
Xu Ji did not interfere in this matter, and it was their own freedom to use whatever kind of person they used.
However, in terms of casting, the directors all came to ask Xu Ji's opinion.
In the end, some of the main roles were decided.
Especially the crew of "Parents Love", which seemed to be unable to find a single role before, quickly decided on some of the main roles after contacting the official actor Chen Kang.
are all official actors.
Many of these official actors are actually not well paid, but they are very picky about the script.
But many people, including Chen Kang, agreed to the invitation to audition after hearing that it was a drama produced by Xu Ji's company and that it was a script written by Xu Ji, without even mentioning the matter of reading the script.
Needless to say, the acting skills of the official actors are very satisfied with the actors who auditioned.
After Chen Kang finished reading the script, he took a look at the corner of Ouyang Yi in it.
No matter what you say, she wants to act, Qi Wen also wasted all her efforts to persuade the other party to finally play the protagonist of this drama, Jiang Defu.
Chen Kang is still more suitable for this role in terms of image.
As for the role of Ouyang Yi, Qi Wen also chose an official actor.
I haven't worked with Xu Ji before, "Soldier Assault" and "My Regiment Leader, My Regiment" have invited each other, but the other party is not very interested in reading the script, so he declined.
This time, relying on "Parents' Love", I finally invited someone to come.
In fact, there are still some troubles about the official actors taking over the play, and they need to report to the above.
If it is a drama with a more sensitive theme, it will even be asked to refuse to act.
But Xu Ji's play obviously does not have such trouble, and the cooperation is not once or twice.
And Duan Shengyu heard that it was a drama from Xu Ji's company, so he didn't ask anything, so he agreed directly.
......
The dramas of other directors of the company have almost been prepared, and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" at the latest can basically start filming in half a month at most.
But the only exception is Xu Ji's own next films, which still have no progress.
Some of the crew members who were set down by Xu Ji before saw that other colleagues were busy at this time, and they also asked a few times.
They don't even know what kind of movie Xu Ji is going to make.
Xu Ji is not in a hurry at all, he has already found a suitable actor, but he can't get away from it during this time.
After a few days to finish recording the latest episode of "The Masked Singer", Xu Ji is estimated to start devoting himself to his second movie.
However, before this, "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" ushered in its premiere.
......
"Is it starring Ji Yiyang again?"
"Now he seems to have become the queen male protagonist of Tongji."
Sang Shaolong has actually been looking forward to this "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" for a long time.
With the arrival of September and the start of school for the student party, there are no new dramas to watch throughout September, and "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" has naturally become the best choice.
In fact, his impression of Ji Yiyang as an actor is quite good.
Although Ji Yiyang's popularity is very high, he is definitely a leader even among first-line actors.
But Ji Yiyang is not like those stars who started crazy marketing after they became popular, and on the whole he is relatively low-key.
Although among the actors under Tongji Entertainment, they participate in variety shows more frequently, but they are also the identities of some guests, which will not affect the screen image in the eyes of the audience.
And the progress of Ji Yiyang's acting skills is visible to the naked eye.
is also willing to progress, like the role of success in "Soldier Assault", which is a very unpleasant role, but Ji Yiyang still played.
If it were other actors of the same level, they would not even be willing to take on such a play that is not the protagonist.
can only say that fortunately, Ji Yiyang's boss is Xu Ji, otherwise, the other party's acting talent is estimated to be wasted due to various things.
However, it is a pity that until now, Ji Yiyang has not been able to get rid of the imprint left by the original fairy sword.
Compared with another Ran Bai of Tongji Entertainment, his acting skills are not favored.
Ran Bai's acting skills in "The Silent Truth" at that time were not at the same level as Ji Yiyang in Sang Shaolong's opinion.
However, Ji Yiyang is not very old, at the age of twenty-four, there is still a lot of room for growth.
In the future, it is not impossible to win the actor, and it is not impossible to see the emperor or something.
Of course, in "Chess Soul" broadcast some time ago, Ji Yiyang's performance was decent in his opinion.
The corner of time is actually not much of a challenge for him at all, Ji Yiyang has starred in "The Best of Us", and he has also acted in many campus dramas before, so the role that does not require much acting skills is normal, and it is a problem if it is not played well.
However, this time Ji Yiyang's role in "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", judging from the trailer, should be regarded as a subversion of the kind of role he was once good at.
It's out of your comfort zone.
I just don't know how it performs.
With such curiosity, Sang Shaolong opened the first episode of the just-updated "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night".
