Zhou Yi listened to the opening song three times before starting to watch the first episode of "Welcome to the Window Together".
Others at Suning TV have no objections to this, because this song is really nice. If they didn't need to examine the TV series, they would even be willing to cycle it as a single.
The main film begins.
In fact, Zhou Yi and others did not really have high expectations for this campus drama at first. The main reason was that Huayi also filmed a youth campus drama, and it was also the work of campus guru and top screenwriter Xiao Xi, and invited many popular stars. To participate in the performance, the investment is as high as 150 million.
On Tianhai's side, not to mention that the actors are all newcomers, the screenwriter is actually Wang Xuan, and the director is also Wang Xuan.
If they were convinced by Wang Xuan's lyrics and music, what about Wang Xuan's screenwriter and director? Isn't this nonsense? Wang Xuan is not a professional screenwriter, and I have never heard of him studying directing. Can I watch the works he wrote and directed?
Even if you can barely watch it, do you expect this TV series to compete with the youth school dramas shot by Huayi?
So when they came here in the first place, they thought it was just a formality, just a formality. As a result, the opening song directly raised their expectations. The next feature film lived up to their expectations and was unexpectedly good-looking.
First of all, the actors' acting skills are good, and their lines are also quite humorous. For example, at the beginning, Zhong Bai said angrily: "From today on, Lu Qiaochuan's lecherousness will be tied for first place with you!"
Ren Yi subconsciously raised his voice and said: "What virtues and abilities does he have!" and coupled with a look of dissatisfaction... Zhou Yi and the others couldn't help but laugh. There was actually someone arguing about the "pervert". Famous.
Anyway, there are a lot of jokes and a lot of laughter. When several people watched the main film, the smiles on their faces never stopped and they almost stopped laughing.
Zhou Yi and others played it at double speed and watched several episodes in a row. They originally thought it was a complete comedy. However, when the military training was over and Lu Qiaochuan and others parted ways with the instructor, Lu Qiaochuan's monologue: "It's easy for us to take fate for granted. Parents , brothers, classmates, the fate with these people has been infinitely stretched because of unforeseen circumstances, and there are still some people who are destined to end abruptly because of the visible deadline." It was accompanied by the instructor suppressing his emotions and humming " "Les Misérables", and then caused the whole class to sing a chorus... which suddenly made Zhou Yi and others burst into tears.
Looking down, Zhou Yi and others really like this TV series more and more. It is said that whether it is film, television or literary works, they all come from life. This drama is undoubtedly the best among them. In the process of watching this TV series, they can always see the shadow of themselves in some characters in the drama, and they are often touched by a certain segment in the drama.
After spending seven or eight hours, Zhou Yi and others finally finished watching the show at 2x speed.
"How about it? Let's vote." Zhou Yi asked.
"A very good youth campus drama. Although this drama does not have any big-name actors, I feel it will be a hit."
"I also think it will be a hit. Although the actors are not big names, their looks and acting skills are passable. The visuals and color palette are comparable to MVs and Korean dramas. They are really good."
"Let me tell you one thing, I think the characters of this drama are very good. There is no female villain who makes people hate each other as soon as it is released, and constantly creates obstacles for the hero and heroine to love each other; there is not so much love and deep sadomasochistic love; There is no typical character configuration for youth dramas that is impeccably perfect or silly and sweet.
The characters in "Staying Together" are all very three-dimensional and life-like. The characters in the play all have their own characteristics, but they are close to life. The carefree Zhong Bai; the "scumbag" Ren Yifan, who is also heart-wrenching; Xiao Haiyang, a sunny man, bold and righteous; Li Shuci, who has a quiet personality, good grades, but is timid and doesn't like to be in the limelight; a sissy-talking but Yu Hao, who has a very high emotional intelligence; Bi Shisan, who knows everything; Gu Yixin, who is simple and true..."
"What about the shortcomings? Are there any?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Yes! Lack of conflict and slow pace."
"One more thing, the polyamory in this show is a bit bloody. Li Shuci likes Xiao Haiyang, Xiao Haiyang likes Zhong Bai, Zhong Bai likes Lu Qiaochuan, Lu Qiaochuan likes Lin Luoxue, Lin Luoxue likes Bi Shisan, Bi Shisan likes Gu Yixin, and Gu Yixin likes Pan Zhen..."
"I also think it's quite bloody, but fortunately it's all point-blank, so it's harmless."
"How do you think this drama compares with the youth campus dramas filmed by Huayi?" Zhou Yi asked again.
"It's hard to say, but I think it's worth a try."
"I also think I can give it a try. To be honest, the filming of this drama is really good, the rhythm is joyful, there are a lot of laughs, and occasionally it will make you cry twice."
"Yes, at the end of the New Year, Ren Yifan was homeless and wandering on the street. Zhong Bai and Lu Qiaochuan set off fireworks for him. The scene where Ren Yifan said with tears that I have a family really made me burst into tears." To be honest, before this, I disliked Ren Yifan very much because I felt he was too scumbag."
After some exchanges, Zhou Yi and others unified their opinions.
Then Zhou Yi came outside Wang Xuan's office and asked Wang Xuan's assistant to notify Wang Xuan.
To be honest, in normal times, when it comes to film and television-related cooperation, it must be the person in charge of the film and television department to discuss it. However, the person in charge of Tianhai's film and television department is still vacant for the time being, and Zhu Xu is not in Tianhai, so Wang Xuan has to discuss this matter in person.
"Mr. Wang, we have watched the TV series "Born Together". Mr. Wang is a great talent and the filming is really good. I won't beat around the bush with you. I personally am very optimistic about the potential of this TV series, so I would like to hear from Wang I always have a quote for the drama "Born Together"." Zhou Yi got straight to the point.
"Which offer is Minister Zhou referring to? Do you plan to directly buy out the broadcast rights of "Welcome to School Together", or do you plan to buy the first broadcast rights or second-round broadcast rights of "Welcome to School Together"?"
"What's the buyout price, and what's the price for the first broadcast rights? As for the second-round broadcast rights, we are definitely not interested. Suning TV is one of the five major TV stations no matter what. If we buy a TV series and also buy the second-round broadcast rights, we can't afford to lose this People." Zhou Yi said.
"The buyout price is a bit high. I will definitely sell it to others for 3 million per episode. For Mr. Su's sake, I can give you a 20% discount, 2.4 million per episode. As for the first broadcast rights, I estimate that others will sell it for 1.2 million. /episode, for the sake of Mr. Su, I will give you 1 million per episode." Wang Xuan said.
"..." The price Wang Xuan offered left Zhou Yi speechless. Is this too expensive? But he heard that the investment in "Going to School Together" was not large.
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that the investment in "Staying Together" is a big deal. It is a "three noes" film and television drama. Of course, Zhou Yi definitely couldn't say this, as it would offend others.
"Mr. Wang, isn't the price a bit high?" Zhou Yi said tactfully.
"It's not high, I really don't. I've heard of the youth campus drama filmed by Huayi. The first-run price sold to Yanjing Satellite TV is 1.5 million per episode, right? The first-run price I'll give you on Suning TV is 1 million per episode. I’m really feeling low.”
"How can it be the same? The TV series produced by Huayi hired several popular stars and invested 150 million. The converted cost of a single episode reached 6 million per episode. It is certainly not expensive to sell the first broadcast rights for 1.5 million per episode. But how much did you invest in this TV series?" Zhou Yi thought to himself.
Of course, this should never be said. Speaking out would offend people. Su Yichang had warned many times before coming here that he must not offend Wang Xuan. Takeaways are not benevolent and righteous.
"Mr. Wang, we are very sincere. Otherwise, for 800,000 per episode, we want the right to premiere "We Went Together"," Zhou Yidao said.
Wang Xuan shook his head: "Mr. Zhou, I'm not going to hide it from you. What I give you is a sincere price. It's for Mr. Su's sake. It can't be any less. If you can't make the decision, you can talk to Mr. Su." Let’s discuss it. Even if we fail to cooperate in the end, it will not affect the relationship between me and Mr. Su.”
Zhou Yi saw that Wang Xuan was resolute and had a serious expression on his face. He was not bargaining and said, "Okay, let me ask Mr. Su what he wants. Sorry, can I go out and make a phone call?"
"Please."
....
Zhou Yi came to the conference room again and dialed Su Yichang's phone. Su Yichang's voice soon came from the other side: "How is it? Minister Zhou, have you finished inspecting the TV series Tianhai?"
"The review is over. It's a very good TV series. The team agreed that we can give it a try, but..."
"how?"
"It's just that the price offered by Teacher Wang Xuan is a bit high. The buyout price is 2.4 million per episode, and the initial broadcast price is 1 million per episode. He said that this price is just for your sake, and it won't be any less."
"There is no need to buy out, just get the first broadcast rights of that TV series." Su Yichang said.
"Ah? What do you mean, you want to directly buy the premiere broadcast rights of "Born Together" at a price of 1 million per episode?"
"Yes. The price of 1 million per episode is indeed a bit high, but based on my understanding of Wang Xuan, he is not a random person, and he will not set the price casually. The price he set out proves that in his eyes, this film The TV series is definitely worth the price. And the price he said he gave because of my face is probably true. If other people want to buy this TV series from him, they probably won't pay this price.
So there is no need to hesitate, just get the right to premiere this TV series. In fact, if I were not afraid that the director would disagree, I would have bought out the TV series directly. "Su Yichang said.
"clear."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi came to Wang Xuan's office again and said that Suning TV agreed to buy the premiere broadcast rights of "Born Together" at a price of 1 million per episode, and the two parties signed a contract.
The contract comes into force.
The first broadcast rights of "Welcome to School Together" were sold in this way. The price of 1 million per episode is not high, but it is not low either. If you take into account the cost of filming "We Went to School Together", it is considered a high price. .
After all, the shooting cost of "Born Together" is less than 600,000 yuan/episode.
And don’t forget, 1 million/episode only sells the first broadcast rights, and many more broadcast rights can be sold later, such as second-round broadcast rights, third-round broadcast rights, network broadcast rights...these add up to the bulk.
Anyway, with the first broadcast rights sold for 1 million per episode, it is no surprise that "Welcome to School Together" should have no problem earning 70 to 80 million, and may even exceed 100 million.
A TV series that costs less than 600,000 yuan per episode and sells the first broadcast rights of 1 million yuan per episode is definitely a good start for the reorganized Tianhai. Therefore, Zhu Xu and others were very happy after hearing the news and praised Wang Xuan for his talent. ability.
Wang Xuan smiled. In fact, he was telling the truth. He did give Suning TV the first broadcast rights of 1 million/episode out of Su Yichang's face. If it were anyone else, it would be impossible without 1.2 million/episode.
Others can't be sure whether "Born Together" will be a hit, but Wang Xuan can be sure, so he will definitely not sell this TV series at a low price. Even if the first broadcast rights can't be sold, it's okay. At worst, it will be broadcast on an online video platform and adopt the advertising sharing model.
This TV series will definitely make a lot of money if it adopts the advertising sharing model.
...
After the first broadcast rights were sold, Zhu Xu took the sample film of "Staying Together" to contact other TV stations and online video platforms to discuss cooperation.
Weng Yong is Weng Qiuping's son. Naturally, it is impossible for him to stay with Wang Xuan as an assistant all the time. Wang Xuan lets Weng Yong stay with Zhu Xu as a way to train him.
Among all the people Wang Xuan has met, Zhu Xu's business ability cannot be said to be the strongest, but at least he is top-notch. As long as Weng Yong is determined, he can definitely learn a lot from Zhu Xu.
The "King of Masked Singer" revival is coming soon.
Since the beginning of June, singers have signed up for the "King of Masked Singer" revival competition one after another. These are naturally replacement singers.
In the resurrection competition, there are not only singers who were eliminated on the "King of Masked Singer" stage before, but also replacement singers. They will compete together for two places, two places leading to the semi-finals of "The King of Masked Singer".
Then in the semi-finals, they will compete with the singers who were not eliminated in the regular season but have not won the Singing King. The two singers with the highest votes will be selected to advance to the finals and compete with the previous Singing King for the finals Singing King. .
In fact, before the reform, "The King of Masked Singer" had eight regular seasons, one revival period, and then the finals. There were no semi-finals.
The semi-finals were specially planned by Su Yichang and Zhang Zheng in order to shorten the regular season to seven periods and allow Wang Xuan to return to the stage of "The King of Masked Singer" through the revival game as soon as possible.
During the period when Wang Xuan was away from "The King of Masked Singer", the ratings of "The King of Masked Singer" dropped a lot. The ratings of the last King of Singer finals were actually only 3.1. You know, when Wang Xuan was here, the ratings of the third final of "The Masked Singer" were as high as 3.6.
If it weren't for the fact that Wang Xuan had just taken over Tianhai and had a lot to do, Su Yichang and Zhang Zheng would have wanted to invite Wang Xuan back to the "King of Masked Singer" stage.
Anyway, there are a lot of people signing up for this Easter competition, and there are also a lot of big-name singers who are excited.
Singer Yu Hao was moved and said to his manager: "Sister Lin, help me sign up for the revival competition of "The King of Masked Singer"."
Yu Hao's manager, named Lin Li, was a little stunned when he heard this: "Brother Hao, weren't you not interested in "The King of Masked Singer" before?"
"I definitely wasn't interested in it in previous years, but I'm still a little interested this year."
"That's right. In previous years, the ratings of this show were not high, but this year's ratings have exploded."
"Not only because of this, on the stage of "The Masked Singer" this year, I felt several familiar scents, and there must be people I know on them."
"Ah? You mean there are singers and queens on it?"
"That's for sure. But I don't know if they are the ones I guessed. Anyway, you just need to help me sign up for the revival competition. I'm not interested in the singer in the regular season of "The King of Masked Singer", but I'm still interested in the singer in the finals. If you are interested, take it."
"Brother Hao comes out. Isn't the singing king of the finals already at your fingertips? I'll sign up for you right now."
Yu Hao nodded.
Yu Hao is not the only big-name singer who is interested in the "King of Masked Singer" finals. Lin Jun and Zhang Zhenyu also signed up for the "King of Masked Singer" revival competition, and they are very confident in themselves.
Zhang Zheng and Su Yichang looked at the lineup of singers who had signed up for the revival competition and were almost so surprised that their eyes popped out.
It's too strong, this lineup is too strong.
This time it will be an absolute fight between gods. I just don’t know if these people can pass Wang Xuan’s test.
...
