Chapter 237: His Times, Shocking Record
Ended the propaganda of the magic capital.
After recording several variety shows on Mango Channel one after another.
Zhou Yutang flew back to the capital.
Another bunch of things awaited him.
The most important thing is naturally the viewing party of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Led by Jiangdong Entertainment, more than a dozen TV stations with purchasing power were organized to watch the film, including Liaoxing, Luxing, Mango, Lantai, Suzhou, Modu and other domestic first-line TV stations.
Seeing the heads of these more than a dozen film buying departments greeting Zhou Yutang with smiling faces, Zheng Xiaolong and his wife, who were also at the film viewing party, glanced at each other.
I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.
This couple can basically be regarded as living fossils in the domestic TV circle.
I was also a grandson at the beginning, so I naturally know what virtues people in those domestic TV stations are.
can ask the people in the TV station's film buying department who are usually used to being uncles to take the initiative to put down their figures, put on a smiling face, and even have a faint flattering attitude.
It is enough to show that Zhou Yutang's status is transcendent at this time.
After seeing Zhou Yutang's dripping but very measured reception in his eyes, Wang Xiaoping whispered to Zheng Xiaolong: "It's really not simple." ”
"The domestic first-line TV stations are basically here."
Zheng Xiaolong also nodded slightly: "This kind of appeal is indeed not simple. ”
"Uncle Zheng."
Zhou Yutang saw Zheng Xiaolong and his wife arrive at the scene, and warmly stepped forward to greet him.
Zheng Xiaolong is a giant in the TV drama industry for decades, equivalent to the previous generation of martial arts league leaders in the TV industry, and his personal connections are also very deep.
At the scene, the senior executives of several TV stations knew him and took the initiative to come over to say hello: "Director Zheng is not old, this time you and Mr. Zhou jointly made "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is really good, I will take care of one or two later." ”
"This time it is Yu Tang who takes the lead, he is in charge, and I am in charge of filming."
Zheng Xiaolong smiled and exchanged a few words with his old acquaintance, and then went about his own business.
"I don't know how much it can be sold."
Wang Xiaoping sat next to her husband and whispered in his ear that she was more concerned about this.
And she's not the only one.
Cai Yinong called Zhou Yutang early in the morning and was extremely eager.
There were also a lot of media reports about the "The Legend of Zhen Huan" viewing meeting.
Zheng Xiaolong is the ratings guarantee of the previous generation of film and television circles, and Zhou Yutang is recognized as the king of the new generation of small-screen ratings.
This drama is jointly created by these two generations of ratings kings, and there is no need for hype at all, and countless people inside and outside the circle have long been staring at it.
At the end of the day, the viewing party ended, and the ownership of the first round of broadcast rights of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was finally settled.
Modu Satellite TV, Mango Satellite TV, and Suzhou Satellite TV, the three leading satellite TVs, have a lot of money, and they passed the gas in advance, and they spent money without blinking.
Even the person in charge of the Blue Terrace Purchasing Department was stunned.
The price of a single episode started from 1.5 million and rose all the way to 2.65 million.
Lose your marbles.
It's really crazy.
The heads of the TV station's film buying departments present were also extremely shocked.
This price.
This has refreshed the sales record of 2.4 million single episodes of the Celestial Dynasty TV series held by "My Love from the Stars", and also set a sales record for the first round of the Celestial Dynasty TV series.
Last year, "My Love from the Star" had a total of 30 episodes, don't look at the high price of a single episode, but in the end, it was only 72 million.
However, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a 76-episode court drama.
Counting up, the first round of the whole drama sold 201.4 million.
This price is basically difficult for anyone to break in recent years.
With such a sky-high price, other TV stations are powerless even if they have the heart, so they can only sigh with admiration.
Only the royal three families can afford to have an average annual budget of 600 million to 800 million yuan in terms of buying dramas.
The reason is also very simple.
The royal three families have a lot of money.
These three TV stations are now steadily in the top three of the domestic satellite TV ratings list, and each TV station has its own trump card program at the bottom of the box.
For example, the naming fee of the program has soared to 200 million, and once "Running Man" was broadcast this year, the ratings exploded, and the naming fee of the first season reached 150 million, according to this rating growth trend, the naming fee of the second season is at least more than 200 million.
In addition to its own old variety shows "Quick Book" and "Everyday Upward", Mango Channel also has a popular variety show such as "I Am a Singer" planned by Zhou Yutang, and the title fee for each season is also more than 100 million.
Su Provincial TV is Zhou Yutang's hometown TV station, and he naturally takes care of it a lot, first helping to make "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and then "The Masked Singer", and the naming fee of each program is also more than 100 million.
Just talking about the naming fee, it has already made other TV stations red-eyed.
And that's not even counting the advertising revenue.
With such a high income, it is natural to spend money.
It's like playing a game, with an economic advantage, you can buy better equipment, farm more money, and naturally snowball infinitely.
There are a lot of internal constraints in other TV stations, especially in the face of such a TV series with a large investment, and the opinions of the top management cannot be unified.
Even if I know that the purchase of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is very beneficial to the development of the TV station, some people will pull back in it.
However, the senior management of Hui Provincial Satellite TV reached an agreement this time, and this year it is also gritting its teeth, and it is even possible that next year's film purchase budget has been spent first.
"Lao Zheng, am I dreaming?"
At the end of the viewing meeting, after getting the exact news, Wang Xiaoping's voice trembled a little, and he kicked Zheng Xiaolong next to him under the table.
"Of course it's true, the legal side is looking at the contract."
Zheng Xiaolong, who won the Magnolia, Golden Eagle Award and Feitian Award Grand Slam, was also a little stunned, picked up the mineral water on the table and took a sip, his hands were shaking.
A drama.
The first round sold 200 million.
He felt as if his three views had been subverted.
At the same time, I also have a deeper understanding of the current operation of the film and television industry.
However, Director Zheng is an old man, and after being a little shocked, he quickly calmed down again, just looked at Zhou Yutang and shook hands with the heads of the film purchasing departments of the four TV stations, and said with sincere emotion: "In the future, it will be the era of this young man." ”
Hengdian.
Zhang Guoli, who was filming in the crew, had a rare break, but suddenly heard the news that the assistant had just run over to say, and sat up straight from the recliner, his eyes widened.
"What do you say? Say it again? ”
"Mr. Zhang, in the first round of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", he sold 200 million."
The assistant also suspected that he had read it wrong, and confirmed the news several times in succession before reporting to Zhang Guoli.
Burst!
As soon as he drank a sip of water, Zhang Guoli couldn't help but squirt it out, and shook his head again and again: "The water is too hot." ”
"Huh?"
The assistant looked at the mineral water in Zhang Guoli's hand and was a little speechless, the mineral water was also hot?
"You give me the phone, and I'll call Yu Tang."
Zhang Guoli couldn't sit still at all, got up from the recliner and took the phone from the assistant's hand.
After the call, it was difficult to hide the smile on the face of the Chinese character.
The preparation period for this drama is a bit long, from writing the script to preparing to now, it has been more than a year.
In fact, this is for this kind of film and television project that pursues high-quality products.
It is also normal.
When it comes to fruition now, the long wait is worth it.
He asked the assistant for a computer, and after zeroing and calculating.
Zhang Guoli's expression was complicated, with joy and worry.
Naturally, he only followed Zhou Yutang to get a little investment share.
It's not much, it's only 10%.
But just such a small share, it is enough to feed yourself.
According to this approximate estimate of the first round of selling price, he can earn eight figures in the future.
Some film and television companies in the circle may not be able to make this money all year round.
Zhang Guoli sighed.
Now Zhou Yutang's development is too fast.
I can't keep up with the pace of his progress.
At the beginning, he could still enter the game by relying on his connections and resources.
But now Zhou Yutang has become bigger.
His own contacts and resources are already very strong.
In simple terms.
That is, there are some unequal resources between the two sides.
In the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Zhou Yutang's big ship.
It is also Hengdian.
Cai Yinong was having a small meeting with Li Guoli and the director team, and suddenly received a call from Zhou Yutang.
Smack.
The phone in his hand fell on the table, looking at Cai Yinong's dumbfounded appearance, Li Guoli asked with some curiosity: "What's wrong." ”
"The first round came out over there."
"How?"
Director Li Guoli's interest suddenly increased.
"The price of a single episode is 2.65 million."
"How much!?"
Li Guoli was suffocated in breath, his head was a little dizzy, and he rubbed the corners of his forehead: "You heard it right, right?" ”
"That's right, it's 2.65 million, four-star simulcast, and the contract has been signed."
Cai Yinong handed over his mobile phone, and Li Guoli finally digested this fact: "76 episodes of a big drama, sold at such a price, Yu Tang is really a god, this time Zheng Xiaolong follows him, at least he can earn tens of millions." ”
"We have a chance, too."
Restrained her envious thoughts, Cai Yinong still looked like a strong woman, and immediately decided: "Lao Li, you communicate with the production team here, and speed up the filming progress on the premise of ensuring quality. ”
"I'll arrange it."
Li Guoli is also an old Jianghu.
If "The Legend of Zhen Huan" can be popular, then "Step by Step" can borrow the east wind, and it will also make a lot of money at that time.
The news quickly spread throughout the step-by-step horror crew.
"Shi Shi, your good friend Mr. Zhou, that new drama sold more than 200 million, do you know?"
Yuan Hong is also an old friend, and when he learned the news, he came over to inquire about the news as soon as possible, but when he saw that there were quite a few people around, he immediately changed his mind.
Actresses such as Liu Xinyou and Guo Biting on the side, drinking water and playing with mobile phones.
But all of them, without exception, pricked up their ears.
Don't miss a single detail.
Liu Shishi nodded and smiled: "I've heard him say it, but Yu Tang's focus is still on movies." ”
"Your reaction is too calm"
Yuan Hong's expression twitched slightly, but he was relieved when he thought about it.
Zhou Yutang will soon have a movie "Big Man" to be released, which is his key project, and it may even create bigger surprises.
"There's nothing surprising about it."
Liu Shishi's quiet little face had a shallow and gentle smile: "He is already so powerful." ”
The news that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" sold at a sky-high price was exposed in the media the next day, which can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.
"I'll go, a single episode is 2.65 million, and the price of the whole series alone is more than 200 million!"
"Zhou Yutang is really awesome, and he has created a new record for the first round of sales of TV dramas."
"Cold knowledge: The sales price record of a single episode of the TV series was originally maintained by Zhou Yutang, and the single episode of "You from the Stars" last year was sold for 2.4 million."
"Zhou Yutang teamed up with Zheng Xiaolong, the TV series jointly created by these two generations of ratings kings is definitely the best of the best, no wonder it was robbed by the TV station."
"In the second half of the year, it is estimated that there will be another good drama to watch, hurry up and broadcast it!"
"What's so good about a TV series? I'm still looking forward to Zhou Yutang's movie "Big Man", which seems to be about to be released. ”
"Mimi, do you see that?"
Zeng Jia handed his mobile phone to Yang Mi, and the front page of Sina Entertainment News was the news that Zhou Yutang's "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was selling at a sky-high price.
Yang Mi looked at it, and was also dumbfounded, and it took a long time before muttering: "The first round of the TV series sold for 200 million, it's really crazy." ”
"It's really crazy, and only Zhou Yutang can make the TV station spend so much money."
Zeng Jia said with emotion: "This time, he pulled more than a dozen first-line TV stations in one go, and finally decided to broadcast a four-star simulcast, and this drama is basically scheduled for the annual hit." ”
With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen TV stations danced wildly.
Yang Mi thought of the man's aggressive blazing eyes, pursed her lips, her breathing was a little short, and then her legs were together.
Da Mimi's bright eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and she murmured: "Yu Tang still has a movie "Big Man" to play, and he himself is a big man in the entertainment industry. ”
Jingcheng Film Academy.
Freshman female dormitory.
Yang Zi, a freshman who had just entered the school, looked at the entertainment news on his computer screen, and suddenly screamed: "I'll go, Naza, your boss's drama sold for 200 million!" ”
"I'll see."
Gu Li Nazha Zhenshou leaned on Yang Zi's shoulder, looked at it, and laughed: "Normal, my boss is so powerful." ”
After just entering the school, they were in the same dormitory, Yang Zi had a lively and cheerful personality, Guli Nazha chatted with her very well, and she has been living in the school dormitory recently.
"I sold 200 million in the first round alone."
Yang Zi was secretly speechless.
Two other girls in the dormitory also came over to watch the fun.
Three women in one play.
It's chattering, it's not lively.
Yang Zi suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Nazha, is your boss's movie going to be screened in the small hall of our school?" ”
"Looks like oh, I was notified."
"Can you get me a ticket?"
Yang Zi pulled Naza's arm and shook it, coquettishly cute: "Please, I'm a die-hard fan of Zhou Yutang." ”
The other two girls in the dormitory also had bright eyes: "Naza, we are also fans." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll ask later, it shouldn't be difficult."
"Bao, you're so nice."
Yang Zimua kissed him on the cheek.
One of the girls named Liu Mengmeng was a little envious: "Nazha, I heard that you still starred in "The Legend of Zhen Huan"? ”
"Hmm."
Guli Nazha nodded, and shared with the girls in the dormitory with great interest what she had seen and heard in Zhen Huan's crew: "Let me tell you, our first sister in Jiangdong, Zeng Li, is a very good person, and Director Zheng Xiaolong, who also has a good relationship with my boss, came to visit the class that time."
Another girl suddenly spoke: "Zeng Li is also popular with Zhou Yutang." ”
"Li Jun is too, how popular it is now, as long as it is Zhou Yutang's person, it will definitely be popular."
"Naza, you want a fire in the future, remember to bring us."
"Not anymore."
Nazha was modest, but the smile on that delicate and good-looking face couldn't be concealed at all.
Ambitious in the chest.
Rest assured, sisters.
In the future, she will become Mrs. Zhou.
I will definitely fly with you when the time comes.
