TV series are submitted for review, and the results will generally be available within 50 working days. Of course, this does not mean that it must take 50 working days. The review results may be announced in advance because the time for organizing expert review is actually only 30 days.

50 working days is only the maximum period.

But if the review does not pass, it will be called back, and it will be revised and resubmitted for review, and it will take another 50 working days to review. If it still fails, it will be called back, and it will be revised and resubmitted for review, and it will still take 50 working days to review...

As a result, some TV series may not be released for a year after filming is completed.

Zhu Xu took Weng Yong to submit the sample film of "Welcome to Window Together" for review. Here Wang Xuan received a call from Zhang Zheng from the "King of Masked Singer" program team: "Good morning, Teacher Wang Xuan, I didn't bother you. You?"

"That's right. Brother Zheng's phone call was never interrupted. I haven't even thanked Suning TV for giving the green light to my family Qiqi." Wang Xuan said with a smile.

"No, I can't bear this thank you. If we really want to say it, we should be grateful to Miss Chen Xueqi. The TV Spring Festival Gala ratings of 12.1 are unprecedented, and it is estimated that there will be no one in the future."

"Okay, let's stop being polite. Brother Zheng, is there something wrong?"

"Actually, it's nothing. Didn't I tell you before that we will plan the revival contest of "The King of Masked Singer" next month? The plan for the revival contest has been planned and is scheduled for the 12th of next month. You should be free to come and participate, right? "

"No problem, I'm sure I'll be free."

"Aren't I afraid that you have to make a TV series and have no time? I know that you are also the director of "Welcome to the School Together"."

"The TV series has been filmed a long time ago, and the finished film has been produced and submitted for review."

"Huh? Isn't that right? The film has even been made, but I haven't seen you promoting it?"

"It's true that there was no publicity for the finished film. After all, the review results haven't come out yet. What if it was publicized and failed to pass the review? But there must have been publicity for the TV series when it was finished. I guess you didn't pay attention."

"Okay, I just took a look, and it's really there. Speaking of Teacher Wang Xuan, you are really versatile. You can write lyrics and music, play screenplay, sing, act, direct... I don't know what else you can do."

"It's just that I have a lot of hobbies." Wang Xuan said modestly.

"If this is still your hobby, how can you make other people feel embarrassed?" Zhang Zheng said with a smile, and suddenly his heart moved, "By the way, have you agreed on a cooperative broadcast platform for this TV series?"

"No, what? Does Suning TV want this TV series?"

"I definitely intend to, but I am only in charge of the entertainment channel now and cannot make the decision on the TV series. I will mention it to Mr. Su later to see what he means."

"Okay. Thanks first, Brother Zheng."

...

In fact, many TV dramas have already negotiated a broadcast platform before filming. For example, Huayi's current film "Hello, Youth" has negotiated with Yanjing Satellite TV before filming. The first broadcast will be on Yanjing Satellite TV. The first broadcast rights are quite expensive, 1.5 million per episode.

Of course, it’s expensive for its own sake. After Yanjing Satellite TV buys the first broadcast rights of "Hello, Youth", Huayi can sell the second-round broadcast rights to other TV stations or online video platforms, but other platforms will at least lag behind Yanjing Satellite TV in broadcasting this TV series. One week.

Compared with the first-round broadcast rights, the second-round broadcast rights are actually the big one, because there is only one first-round broadcast right, but there can be four or five second-round broadcast rights. Even if a second-round broadcast right is sold for 400,000 per episode, the total income can be It’s on par with the first broadcast rights.

However, Huayi has not sold the second-round broadcast rights of "Hello, Youth" yet. We have talked to two or three TV stations before, and they all expressed interest in their TV series, but the price offered is a bit conservative. , actually the price was only 500,000/episode.

This price is far lower than Huayi's psychological price. Their bottom line for the second round of broadcast rights is 700,000/episode, and they will strive to strive for 800,000/episode. After all, they also have to make money.

How does the producer make money when filming a TV series? There are generally three ways.

The first is to sell broadcasting rights, which is to sell the broadcasting rights of filmed TV series to major TV stations and online video platforms.

The second type is sponsorship by advertisers. Many TV series will attract sponsors before filming. The sponsors will give money and the crew will integrate the sponsor's product advertisements during filming. For example, if Yibao Mineral Water sponsors a certain TV series, then During the filming of the TV series, the water that all characters drink will be Yibao. This is advertiser sponsorship.

The third type is advertising revenue. Advertising revenue and advertiser sponsorship are different. Advertising revenue is the income from advertising during broadcast, while advertiser sponsorship is the integration of advertising during filming.

Of these three channels, the revenue from selling broadcast rights is the largest. The filming cost of "Hello, Youth" is 150 million. When converted, the cost is 6 million per episode. If the price of the second round of broadcast rights is not sold at a higher price, how can it make money?

Moreover, the second-round broadcast rights are not sold at a high price, and the third-round broadcast rights will be sold at a lower price. For example, if they sell the second-round broadcast rights for 500,000/episode, then the third-round broadcast rights can only be sold for 250,000/episode at most. But if they sell the second-round broadcast rights for 800,000/episode, The third round of broadcast rights can be sold for at least 400,000 per episode, which is a huge difference.

In addition, if the price of the second-round broadcast rights is too low, it will easily cause dissatisfaction on Yanjing Satellite TV. After all, I bought the first broadcast rights for 1.5 million yuan/episode, and you only bought 500,000 yuan/episode for the second-round broadcast rights. So what do you think I am? Taken advantage of or fool?

Anyway, Huayi is very confident in this "Hello, Youth". They feel that after this TV series is broadcast on Yanjing Satellite TV, it will definitely become a hit. By then, their second-round broadcast rights will not matter. It’s 700,000 per episode, and it’s possible to sell it for 900,000. .

Coincidentally, "Hello, Youth" was not only completed at almost the same time as "Born Together", but was also produced into the film at almost the same time and submitted for review at the same time. If nothing else goes wrong with these two TV series, it is estimated that Mars will really hit the earth.

...

It is worth mentioning that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" serialized by Wang Xuan on the Shengshi Chinese website was completed in early May after several months of serialization. In fact, this book only has 700,000 to 800,000 words. If Shengshi Chinese Website had not been pressing on updating the word count, it would have been completed long ago.

The results are also outstanding.

When "Legend of the Condor Heroes" was completed, the total number of orders was 150,000, and there were about 700 alliance leaders. Although it was not as high as "Dragon Movie", it was still much higher than other results.

Similarly, the publishing rights of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were sold in the middle of the series. There are still many people who want the film and television rights of "Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the price offered is still very high, over 10 million. Unfortunately, when Shengshi Chinese Network contacted Luo Qiu, the result was still that other rights could be negotiated casually, but Film and television rights will not be sold.

In this regard, Shengshi Chinese Network is also very helpless. They naturally hope that Luo Qiu will sell the film and television rights. After all, selling the rights at such a high price will bring great benefits to Shengshi Chinese Network. The benefit here is not money, but reputation and advertising effect.

But Luoqiu is unwilling to sell, and Shengshi Chinese Network does not dare to force Luoqiu.

"Dragon" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are enough to establish Luo Qiu's status in the Internet literary world. Now Luo Qiu can be said to be the number one person in the Internet literary world. It has also become the golden signature of Shengshi Chinese Network.

The data operation department of Shengshi Chinese Network has specially calculated that during the series of "Legend of the Condor Heroes" in Luoqiu, it brought at least 200,000 new users to Shengshi Chinese Network. Of course, it is impossible for all of these new users to be paying users, but as long as there are If half of the users are converted into paying users, Shengshi Chinese Network will make a lot of money.

Shengshi Chinese Network also expects Luoqiu to attract more new users to them, so how can it be in trouble with Luoqiu?

The brighter Wang Xuan's reputation is, the more valuable the copyright of his works will be. In fact, as early as the middle period of the serialization of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the animation copyright and game copyright of Wang Xuan's other work "Dragon Babu" had been sold.

Animation copyrights were sold for 8 million yuan, and game copyrights were sold for 7 million yuan. Very good price. After all, "Dragon Babu" is not a long novel. It has a length of about 1.2 million and was made into animation and games. There are not many plot copies.

Ziya also told Wang Xuan that some animation companies have expressed interest in the animation copyright of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and are negotiating with the copyright department of Shengshi Chinese Network.

Wang Xuan doesn't care about this. Anyway, his purpose of doing this is to pave the way for film and television. He only needs the film and television rights, and the other rights can be left to Shengshi Chinese Network to operate.

"By the way, Mr. Luoqiu, have you decided what to write next? Your fans have been asking you when you will publish a new book." Editor Ziya asked.

Yes, now Ziya has been promoted to editor-in-chief. Who is it that she discovered Luo Qiu?

At first, many old editors were not optimistic about Luo Qiu's "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" and even tried to persuade Ziya, but it was Ziya who insisted on signing the book. So the credit for discovering Luo Qiu naturally falls on her.

Indeed, many readers are asking when Wang Xuan's new book will be released. Even his general alliance is asking about Wang Xuan's new book. The main reason is that "Legend of the Condor Heroes" is too short. Although it is exciting, it still leaves much to be desired.

Wang Xuan also knew this situation, thought about it, and said: "July 1st. The theme is still martial arts. It can be regarded as the second part of "The Condor Shooting"."

"Ah? Is the story of "The Condor Shooting" not over yet? Is there a sequel?" Ziya said in surprise.

"You can finish it, or you can finish it, because the plot of the story I'm going to write is connected with "The Condor Shooting"."

"Understood."

Soon, Shengshi Chinese Network promoted Wang Xuan's new book on the headlines of the website: Big news, Shengshi Chinese Network's platinum writer Luo Qiu's new book will be released on July 1st. The new book is the sequel to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Respectfully Please look forward to. "

Tsk tsk! Shengshi Chinese website actually used the website headline to promote Wang Xuan's new book a month in advance, which made many authors extremely envious.

Apart from envy, they can't even think of jealousy. Who makes Luoqiu's achievements so brilliant? Both of the two movies cost more than 150,000 yuan. They may not be able to write it in this life.

Many readers were speechless.

"Bah, bah, bah, I thought Luo Qiu's new book would be released next month, but tell me, you still have to wait a month?"

"What are you doing? Announced a month in advance? Are all the management of Shengshi Chinese Network stupid?"

"Haha! Shengshi Chinese Network is not stupid. This is Luoqiu's Pai Nian. Do you understand Pai Nian?"

"I didn't say Luo Qiu didn't have such a schedule, I meant it was announced too early. It would be okay if we didn't know when Luo Qiu's new book would be released, but knowing the exact date, wouldn't it make our days feel like years? A It’s a difficult month, isn’t it?”

"That's true. Luo Qiu is so awesome. It's so wonderfully written."

"The new book is actually the sequel to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", I'm really looking forward to it. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is so well written. I was sorry that it was too short before, but I didn't expect that there would be a sequel. Now I have hope. ”

"Who wouldn't be? I feel itchy when I think about seeing the sequel to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Unfortunately, it will take a month before I can watch it. Oh my god, please hurry up."

...

Now that he has decided to write a sequel to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Wang Xuan will have to consciously control his dreams on May 24th.

When he woke up the next morning, Wang Xuan already had the entire "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in his mind.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the second part of The Condor Heroes, and this one is also very exciting. However, Wang Xuan definitely cannot restore this film intact. There is one plot that must be changed, and that is the plot of "Dragon Knight".

To be honest, in his previous life, when Wang Xuan watched this movie, he was so poisoned by the plot that he almost died from the poison. He didn't know what Mr. Jin was thinking at that time, and actually let the heroine be defiled by others.

Wang Xuan even wondered whether the readers had offended Mr. Jin when he wrote this book, which made Mr. Jin very unhappy, so he deliberately wrote this plot to disgust the readers and take revenge on them.

Anyway, when Wang Xuan saw this plot, he was so disgusted that eating a fly was not that disgusting. He was so disgusted that he dropped the book several times and picked it up several times before finishing the book.

Therefore, Wang Xuan must change this plot. As for how to change it, Wang Xuan has not yet decided.

Because this plot is about the emotional transformation process of Xiao Longnu toward Yang Guo. In another time and space, Yin Zhiping defiled Xiao Longnu, but Xiao Longnu mistakenly thought that Yin Zhiping was Yang Guo, and she began to have feelings for Yang Guo. So there must be this excessive plot.

Nothing special happened in the next few days. Wang Xuan originally wanted to help Zhang Yaxin record a new song to hit the June new song list. However, the plan failed to keep up with the change. Zhang Yaxin suddenly felt uncomfortable in her voice and could not record the song.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened when I went for a checkup. It's just an ordinary throat speech, just rest for a few days and it will be fine.

But the song recording was delayed like this. Not only Zhang Yaxin's song recording was delayed, but also Deng Ziqing and Ren Xuanran's song recording was delayed, because there were no plans to help the latter record songs this month, and both of them answered the notice and were out of town.

Therefore, Tianhai will be absent from the new song list in June. No matter what, you have to give others some way to survive.

...

This is how May comes to an end.

At the end of the month, the single "He Must Love You Very Much" received 71 million downloads, successfully winning the last laugh. This song that was popular all over the country in another time and space is also very popular in this time and space.

In terms of albums, "He Must Love You Very Much" sold 5.2 million physical albums and 30 million digital albums, which is about as expected. Since Du Chengfei was not very famous when this album was released, the price of the album was not high.

The physical album is priced at 40 yuan, and the digital album is priced at 6 yuan.

The sales volume of "He Must Love You Very Much" is probably also due to the price. Yu Hao's fans once complained about the price of the "He Must Love You Very Much" album. It is said that the sales volume of the album "He Must Love You Very Much" is so high because of its low price. If the price were raised to the same price as "The Oath", the sales volume would probably not be as good as "The Oath".

But at the end of the month, in the face of physical sales of 5.2 million copies, Yu Hao's fans still couldn't stand up anymore. Because this result was so amazing, the physical album sales of "The Oath" only reached 1.8 million, which was too far behind.

Anyway, this "He Must Love You Very Much" album can be called a cash cow. After one month, after deducting the sales platform fees, it actually brought Tianhai nearly 200 million in revenue.

Du Chengfei also became popular all over the country with this album. Now Du Chengfei is almost as popular as Xu Yang.
