Liu Siying called to report on the copyright negotiation of "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky", and the negotiations with the TV station were relatively smooth, and the two satellite TV stations in Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province bought the copyright at a price of 2.5 million yuan per episode each, and the audience in these two places loves to watch the theme of the poor boy going to the sea to do business and change his fate.

The second and third rounds were also successfully sold together, with a total of 1.5 million / episode for three satellite TV and ten grounds, so that the total price of "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" sold to TV stations reached 6.5 million / episode.

There are twists and turns in the negotiation of network copyright, iQiyi and Tencent Video have all increased the price to 6 million / episode, but no one is still willing to let go.

6 million/episode doesn't seem like much, after all, the video website copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" was sold for 7.5 million/episode, but the account is not calculated like this.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" was not able to be on the star in the end due to the subject matter, which led to the fact that Tengxun Video spent 750/episode to buy the exclusive broadcast copyright, but "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" is different, "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" sold a total of two first rounds of satellite TV plus two rounds of three rounds of three satellite TV stations plus ten ground stations, that is, at least fifteen TV stations will broadcast this drama, and it will be broadcast more than once.

Can a solo drama be broadcast with so many TV stations, can the price be the same?

Also, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has a large fan base of the original work, but "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" does not.

The theme of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is relatively more topical, while "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" is slightly weaker in this regard.

Therefore, it is an exaggeration to say that iQiyi and Tengxun Video are all bidding to 6 million / episode, and they are not ancient puppets, nor are they palace fights, and themes like "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" generally do not have too high ratings.

But the extraordinary popularity of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Exquisite Ancient City" makes these two companies not miss this "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" no matter what, even if they know that "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" cannot be as popular as "Exquisite Ancient City".

For Tencent Video, it was not easy to go from slightly behind iQiyi to overtake, at this time, let iQiyi buy Huashang's new drama, what if the new drama is as powerful as "Exquisite Ancient City"?

Isn't the advantage that "Exquisite Ancient City" brought to me gone?

iQiyi is even more afraid to let go.

Originally, Tengxun Video had already surpassed itself, if the other party bought this "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" again, what if this drama exploded again? Will even iQiyi fall into the second echelon?

"How much do you think the two will eventually be able to add up?" Li Mu asked.

"It's not good to say, it's possible to look at the posture of 7 million." Liu Siying said.

Li Mu said: ""Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" must be a good drama, yes, but the copyright of a video website alone is sold for 7 million, which is still a bit exhaustive, and the upper limit of this kind of theme is still not as good as the ancient puppet Gongdou, Huashang is a private company, and the company must aim to make money, but we only make reasonable profits." In this way, you try to contact the two video sites as much as possible, and it is best for everyone to share the cost of copyright, and no one should monopolize it, so as not to feel cheated by us if the popularity of the TV series does not meet expectations after it is broadcast. ”

"I understand."

After that, Li Mu continued to be busy with the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" in the magic capital, and a week later, he received a call from Liu Siying again, and the online copyright negotiation of "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" was eyebrow-raising.

"iQiyi Video, Tengxun Video, Arc Video, Lay's Video, Youku Video - the five major video websites share the network copyright of "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky", each with 1.8 million episodes, boss, do you think we can sign it?"

"Aiqiyi and Tengxun are willing to let go?"

"I called the two families together, and compared to their own copyright, the first appeal of the two companies is that the other party cannot have the exclusive copyright of the Internet."

"Understood, in addition, you just said that 5 families each have 1.8 million episodes? It's a lot, why can't you sign it? You can sign it! ”

"Okay."

"By the way, the money in Lay's must be settled in full as soon as possible, and the balance cannot be left, and it cannot be in arrears for a day!"

"This?"

"No, I'd rather sell less!"

"Okay."

On the other end of the phone, after hanging up the phone, Liu Siying shook her head and smiled.

Last week, the boss also said that he only made a reasonable profit, at that time, the two Aiteng families had already asked for 6 million an episode, and then the boss said to find a few more to share their costs, but now it turned out to be good, and finally it was a 5 co-broadcast, and each family 180 an episode, adding up to 9 million an episode, a good one only makes a reasonable profit! I'm afraid that the video site will be pitted! What a fish that is inexhaustible!

As a result, the TV station plus the video website, the total unit price of "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" has reached 15.5 million yuan, the TV series has a total of 55 episodes, the total price is 852.5 million, and the total cost of the TV series is only 150 million.

……

On June 1st and June 8th, Tencent Video released 3 episodes of "Exquisite Ancient City" respectively, especially on June 8th, the average playback volume of "Exquisite Ancient City" officially exceeded 100 million mark, and the total playback exceeded 1 billion times, reaching 1.38 billion times, with a daily playback volume of 210 million times, and Tengxun Video has accepted more than 2.6 million playback requests from new VIP members!

The data can be said to be quite explosive, especially the addition of 2.6 million VIP members, and the executives of Tencent Video are dizzy when they see it.

In addition to dizziness, I am also a little lucky, fortunately, I won this online drama at the expense of money, at that time, it seemed that at that transaction price was almost a loss, but now I look at it again, not only did I not lose, but I made a lot of money, and the most important thing is that it reversed the disadvantaged position compared with iQiyi in one fell swoop.

In fact, until 2023, "Exquisite Ancient City" is the drama with the highest average number of views in the Tencent video series, and its popularity can be imagined.

And Huashang was not idle here, taking the opportunity of "Exquisite Ancient City" to set off the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" craze across the country, he took the opportunity to vigorously promote the new movie "Looking for the Dragon", and the relevant leading actors officially launched a national roadshow publicity campaign.

June 13th is the official opening day of the 18th Modu International Film Festival, and Li Mu and Liu Yifei also received invitations.

Although the two are busy with the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow", the film festival is held in the magic capital where "Edge of Tomorrow" was filmed, and the two of them have to give face no matter how busy they are, so the assistant director first filmed the scene without the participation of the two, and the two went to the film festival after dressing up carefully.

That night, Liu Yifei wore a high-end aqua blue dress, which amazed the audience as soon as she appeared.

Fan Binbin, Yang Mi, Yang Ying, and Lin Zhiling's dresses that day were also very amazing, but first, these people's coffee positions could not be compared with Liu Yifei at this time, Liu was the only post-80s actress in China at this time, on the other hand, Liu Yifei had Li Mu personally lift the skirt, this alone almost absorbed all the attention of the red carpet that night, and the rest of the actresses were overshadowed no matter how sexy they were.

After the red carpet photos and videos were leaked out that day, Li Muliu and the two of them undoubtedly swiped the screen.

Liu Yifei's blue long skirt is very long, Li Mu carefully lifted the skirt to his wife, Liu Yifei's eyes were full of Li Mu almost the whole time, that kind of affectionate eyes, the hearts of many boys and girls were drunk.

Netizens frantically swiped the screen for this.

"That's what marrying love looks like."

"You carefully tidied up the skirt for me, I have you in my eyes, and I believe in love again after seeing the red carpet photos that flowed out today."

"I believe in love +1, and I wish the two of them to grow old together."

"It's so beautiful! It's so handsome! ”

"I finally understand the idiom 'fairy couple'!"

Li Mu also saw the relevant reports, which couldn't help but remind him of Huang Xiaoming in his previous life, the last public interaction between Huang Sect Leader and his ex-wife Yang Ying in his previous life, Brother Xiao Ming still gentlemanly lifted Yang Ying's skirt, but Yang Ying didn't even look back at Brother Xiao Ming during the whole process, and some netizens said that the marriage between the two came to an end, and sure enough, the two officially announced their divorce soon after.

The act of lifting the skirt, if you put it carefully, is a little licking, but whether it is licking or not, in fact, it can't be generalized, such as Liu Yifei, she can usually feel that she cares about herself everywhere, thinking about herself, what happened to Li Mu lifting her skirt? He is willing to lick even more!

After returning from the film festival, Liu Yifei took off his gorgeous aqua blue dress, put on a mecha prop weighing 90 pounds, and continued to devote himself to the filming of the movie.

……

On July 2, 3 new films were released in China, namely "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain" directed by Chen Kaige, "I Am a Passerby" directed by Er Dongsheng, and the last one is "Looking for the Dragon" produced by Huashang Media, of which the film schedule of "Looking for the Dragon" has reached 65%.

On the day of the premiere of "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain", Director Chen's wife was furious, not for Huashang Media, but for publicly accusing Fang Zuming of ruining a film alone.

Fang had an accident in 2014, and Brother Chen Kai had no choice but to ask a stand-in to reshoot most of the scenes with the room, which led to the film's publicity period being greatly compressed, and "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" invested 200 million, but the result was unfavorable, and almost put Director Chen and his wife's efforts in the past 3 years, and it is no wonder that Mrs. Chen was very angry.

Li Mu naturally watched the film "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain" in his previous life, but he didn't think it was as bad as the criticism on the Internet, but it is definitely impossible to talk about how good-looking it is, in short, he forgot about it after watching it, and he didn't know what to do in some places, and it was not good to say what kind of story Director Chen told this time, the only particularly impressive picture may be the bed scene between Teacher Fan Wei and Lin Zhiling.

"I Am a Passerby" Li Mu quite likes, mainly because the film that chooses the perspective on the group of horizontal drifters is too scarce, so even if this film has one or another shortcoming, Li Mu is still willing to call it a good movie.

However, neither of these films can posing a threat to Huashang Media's "Looking for the Dragon", which can be seen from the comparison between the film schedule arranged by the theater and the pre-sale box office of Maoyan Film.

In the end, the box office came out on the first day, and "Looking for the Dragon" ranked first without suspense, with a box office of 215 million yuan on the first day.

"The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain" directed by Chen Kaige ranked second, but the box office on the first day was not far from the first-ranked "Looking for the Dragon", only 43 million yuan, only one-fifth of "Looking for the Dragon".

and "I Am a Passerby" directed by Er Dongsheng is even less, only 8.6 million yuan, which is almost exactly one-fifth of "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain".

On the first day of the box office, netizens were happy, and they ridiculed that the three films even played the equal ratio series, the box office of "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain" was five times that of "I Am Passerby A", and the box office of "Looking for the Dragon" was five times that of "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain", and the three films played quite well.

If you only look at the box office, Director Chen Da's wave is actually not too bad, although he didn't win the Sun Crown, at least he beat Er Dongsheng, but if you look at the score again, Director Chen Kaige was undoubtedly sprayed again, "Looking for the Dragon" Douban score of 8.4 points, "I Am a Passerby" 7.4 points, only Director Chen Da's "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain" score failed, only 5.3 points.

This is not over, Director Chen also offended Taoism in this wave, and the Taoist Association even angrily sprayed Brother Chen Kai for scandalizing Taoism, being indecent, and asked to stop the film, although it did not succeed in the end, but it also successfully cast a shadow on "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain", after this twist and turn, Chen Kaige and his wife showed their husband and wife more together, and also showed their affection on Weibo.

Let's go back to "Looking for the Dragon".

To tell the truth, "Looking for the Dragon" is not a particularly good film, but compared with the original time and space, "Looking for the Dragon" in this time and space still has obvious improvements in many aspects.

First of all, there are 3D effects and special effects.

The special effects and 3D effects of the original space-time "Looking for the Dragon" are actually good, but that is only compared with domestic films in the same period, and what kind of special effects team is the Huashang special effects team in this time and space?

"Gravity" was released earlier than "Avatar"!

So in terms of special effects, "Looking for the Dragon" completely crushes the original version of the original time and space, and in terms of plot, there are various great god comments after the original version is released for reference, and with a little modification, it can also be far better than the previous life.

The special effects and plot are all stronger than the original, and it is not surprising that Huashang's version of "Looking for the Dragon" has a good box office.
