After running through the two theaters, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening when I returned to the hotel where I was staying.

As soon as she entered the room, Zhao Luoyao was busy packing her luggage, taking out a clean change of clothes, towels, toiletries, etc., as well as her own kettle, all kinds of drinking water, tea, cups for brushing your teeth, etc., and also took an alcohol watering can to disinfect the remote control and switch in the room, and disinfect the faucet, sink, bathtub and toilet in the bathroom.

To be honest, at first, Li Tang felt that it was very troublesome to bring so many things every time he went out, and in addition to filming, sometimes because of the constraints of conditions, he might live a little worse, and he usually traveled in a four-star hotel or above, and the sanitary conditions were still good.

But after Xiao Zhao's popular science, what he said about wiping the toilet and wiping the cup may be using a towel, and when the kettle boiled something that could not be described in words, Li Tang had goosebumps all over his body, and from now on, the kettle, towels, including bathing in the bathtub and the like in any hotel will not be used.

"Teacher Li, would I like to make you a cup of tea?"

"No, I'll do it myself in a moment. You've worked hard today, so go back to your room and rest early. ”

Zhao Luoyao has been by his side for a while, and he is very satisfied with this assistant in all aspects. However, he still takes care to keep a certain distance between men and women.

For example, he will never be shirtless in front of Xiao Zhao, and every time he takes a bath, he will wait for Xiao Zhao to go out before entering the bathroom, etc. Although Xiao Zhao looks average, as the saying goes: there are no ugly women in eighteen women. Xiao Zhao is only in his early twenties, and his skin is quite good, white and tender, even Xiao Pang is envious when he sees it.

You said that such a white and tender girl pokes in front of her every day, if everyone is usually casual, and if you don't get it right, you will go off the fire one day, what do you say?

So a lot of the time, it's always right to take precautions.

Before taking a bath, he made himself a cup of tea, and the tea leaves floated on it in three or two, a little lighter, just a little tea taste, so as not to be unable to sleep at night.

After taking a shower, I came out of the bathroom, and was about to drink tea and watch TV for a while, when my phone rang.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, he thought it was a chubby phone, this girl couldn't sleep at night and often called to harass her, and then sent something in the air.

Today's call is from Zeng Jia.

"Jiajia!"

"Brother, "Conquest" is on fire! The last two episodes aired tonight, and guess what the ratings were? ”

"How much?"

“21.4%！ ranked in the top three of Blue Whale Channel's annual ratings. Zeng Jia said excitedly on the phone.

Although this rating is only the ratings of the Blue Whale, this achievement is quite impressive.

"Is it so high?"

Li Tang also thought it was a little incredible, he thought that the drama "Conquest" would attract more male audiences, but the 21.4% rating is obviously suitable for men and women, young and old!

"Of course, after "Conquest" finished broadcasting at 11 o'clock tonight, Director Jiang of Blue Whale Station called to report the good news as soon as possible. He also joked with me that it was me who owed him a favor, but I didn't expect that in the end, he owed me a favor. ”

Director Jiang of this Blue Whale Channel, Li Tang heard Zeng Jia say before that he had a good relationship with her, but this time he also lost the help of others, not only bought the drama "Conquest", but also arranged a relatively good time period to broadcast it.

"I can't say that, I owe it to people for help this time. By the way, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and what should be in place must be in place. ”

Li Tang was also very happy, and Director Taijiang of Blue Whale personally called, which is enough to show that the news is reliable.

"I see, uh......"

Zeng Jia on the other end of the phone was speechless for a while, during the broadcast of "Conquest" in the past few days, Director Jiang had a close connection with her, almost one phone call a day.

Zeng Jia has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and this situation is not the first time she has encountered it, and she can hear from the other party's casual words and phrases that the other party is interesting to her.

She is really speechless, although this Director Jiang has had a failed marriage before, but she is not very old, she is less than thirty years old or forty years old, and she is passable, especially when she is young, she is in the important position of channel director of the sub-provincial city radio and television group, and it should be said that the future is limitless.

However, even if Director Jiang's conditions are good, she doesn't feel it. Because her mind is not on this at all now, she is thinking about making the company bigger and stronger. Even if such thoughts occasionally popped up in the dead of night, there was always a personal shadow in her mind.

Party A's father always can't be offended, even if Zeng Jia knows it, he can only pretend to be stupid, and after a long time, he hopes that the other party can retreat.

She'd been in this situation several times before, and she had dealt with it like this. Fortunately, the other party is a smart and decent person, and there is never a shortage of high-quality women around him, and there is no unpleasant thing.

She didn't want to tell Li Tang about this kind of thing, so she paused for a moment and then diverted the topic and said: "Actually, the highest ratings were 18.7% two days ago, and at that time, a provincial satellite TV contacted us to buy the copyright, but the price was not too high, I want to wait." In addition, there are several audio-visual products that are in contact with us, and the price is being discussed. ”

"You can do that."

For the company's operation, Li Tang is full of trust in Zeng Jia. Of course, the most important thing is that even if he does it himself, he may not be better than Zeng Jia, it is better to let Zeng Jia toss, settle down by himself, and do what he likes wholeheartedly.

The income of TV series is mainly sold to various TV stations, and now that "Conquest" is popular, it is completely possible to cooperate with various David TV in the way of how much money is in the first round and how much is in the second round.

For example, the copyright auction of audio-visual products before the premiere of "Hero" was finally jointly auctioned by two audio-visual publishing houses in Guangzhou, and the amount was only 17.8 million.

Specific to the TV series, "Smiling Proud" also sold a high price of 200,000 episodes in the first two years, and now "Shooting the Condor" is only 150,000 episodes, which is still the case where the acquirer itself is the investor of the Literary Association Audiovisual Publishing House, if it is publicly auctioned, this number may be even lower.

For "Conquest", if the copyright of the audio-visual product can sell for fifty or sixty-one episodes, then thank God. This is also why Gao Qunshu did not sell the copyright of the audio-visual products after filming "Conquest", because "Conquest" could not be sold at a high price at that time, and it is estimated that it would be good to have one or two thousand episodes. Only in the case of the hit of "Conquest", those who have not been able to watch documentary TV series will flock to it.

……

On January 6, 2003, after the New Year's holiday and the first weekend of the new year, the box office of "Hero" finally exceeded the 200 million mark. Director Zhang finally created the highest box office revenue in the history of a domestic film.

The unfortunate news is that there is finally a pirated version of the HD version on the market. In fact, it has long been a symptom, although the new picture company has joined forces with the film distribution companies in the following provinces to strictly guard the film copies, and even used the local police to carry out armed escorts, but there are still incidents of copies being stolen, even if the police intervene in time, but with the arrest of more than a dozen people in the chain, a movie theater staff committed suicide, and the copies were still not recovered.

Soon after, the high-definition version of pirated CDs really entered the market, and with the continuous flow, it inevitably caused a sharp drop in the box office, from seven or eight million a day on weekdays, and more than 10 million on weekends, to a cliff-like drop to only two or three million a day box office, more than halved.

Fortunately, "Hero" still occupies a large number of films, and it still stands out among the movies released at the same time. It is estimated that the box office in the future is likely to exceed 250 million. Of course, there is obviously no hope of surpassing "Big Ship".

In fact, in the final analysis, it is still piracy, after all, in 98, VCD and DVD were far less popular than they are now, and even the number of screens was not as good as back then.

There is no way that the national situation is like this, and it cannot be solved overnight. Unless in the future, with the rise of online video, VCD and DVD will completely withdraw from the stage of history, the country may take a heavy hand to rectify the piracy market.

Otherwise, it is clear at a glance which is more important between so many VCD and DVD manufacturers in China, millions of industrial workers, and the domestic film box office market that is less than one billion.

……

"Xiao Li, hard work! Laborious! ”

When the publicity roadshow team returned to the capital, Mr. Zhang of the new picture came to the capital to greet him, especially holding Li Tang's hand, which was extremely sincere and enthusiastic.

"Mr. Zhang, you are polite, these are what I should do. And the director worked harder than me. Li Tang said.

Li Tang's impression of this Mr. Zhang doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, but he just thinks that this investor is a little picky. Not to mention that he has worked hard for more than 20 days and has a beautiful mouth, he has no practical action at all.

The only thing that shocked him was that a few days ago he had dinner and chatted with the director, and they happened to talk about the box office. At that time, Li Tang also joked that the director's box office share this time must be indispensable.

As a result, the director's answer was that he did not have a contract with Xinxiang at all, which means that "Hero" got such a high box office, and it has nothing to do with the director at the legal level.

Although the director smiled and said that he and Zhang are always friends in times of trouble, good friends and so on, the most taboo thing in this business is human favors.

Business belongs to business, and favor belongs to favor. This is an eternal truth.

Of course, after running for more than 20 days this time, he is not without a little gain, at least the relationship with the director has improved by leaps and bounds, and it can be said that he has reached the category of friends.

Don't look at the director's usual bitter and hateful appearance, in fact, his personality is still very cheerful in private, and he is very sincere in his life.

If you want to say that the only shortcoming, it may be a little cowardly, and you would rather suffer a loss than squeak. This may also be the sequelae of the director after experiencing that unspeakable era throughout his youth.

The first more, there is. Keep asking for tickets!
