Li Tao returned to Tianhai just because of Lin Zhixiang's affairs. Now that it was confirmed that Lin Zhixiang had joined Tianhai, Li Tao went out to some TV stations to sell the second-round broadcast rights of "Welcome to School Together".
Of course, this is also a special time.
Tianhai is too short of people, and the business capabilities of the marketing department need to be improved. It just so happens that Li Tao has nothing to do now, otherwise it would never be his turn as the head of the artist department to go out and run business in person.
Two days later, Zhu Xu and Weng Yong also went back to Tianhai. Compared with Li Tao's failure, Zhu Xu has gained something. At least he sold the second-round broadcast rights of "Welcome to the Same School".
The price was pretty good, 550,000/episode, sold to Ludong Satellite TV.
Wang Xuan was not surprised at all when he heard the news. Speaking of Ludong Satellite TV, this is also a very strange satellite TV, similar to Shandong Satellite TV in another time and space.
In the 1990s, Ludong Satellite TV was definitely one of the most fashionable satellite TV stations in China. At that time, Taiwanese idol dramas were very popular, and Ludong TV was among the first to broadcast Taiwanese idol dramas in the mainland. Island country dramas are also popular.
Even at the beginning of the new century, Ludong TV's film and television channels, variety shows, and lifestyle channels have attracted a large number of viewers by showing foreign movies, fashion variety shows, etc. every night.
Then, there is no more.
I don’t know if it was because of the change of leadership of the TV station. Overnight, Ludong TV seemed to have changed into a TV station, from a fashionista to a country bumpkin.
Nowadays, Ludong Satellite TV, in addition to broadcasting some social news, also broadcasts some dramas produced by unknown directors, or broadcasts some small variety shows that address people's livelihood issues, such as reality shows.
The problem is that these programs fail to capture the audience's enjoyment, are lengthy and protracted, and often include junk advertisements. This 20-minute drama + 10-minute commercial model can only be tolerated by some middle-aged and elderly people, but who can bear it among young people?
Because of this, the ratings of Ludong Satellite TV have declined very seriously in recent years. At the beginning of the new century, the ratings of Ludong Satellite TV were enough to rank among the top eight among national satellite TVs, and could even compete for the top five satellite TV stations. Now, let alone competing with the five major TV stations, Ludong TV’s ratings are in danger of even being in the top fifteen.
This is definitely a very embarrassing ratings. You must know that Ludong can be regarded as a province with a large economy and a large population.
However, the ratings are poor. The person in charge of the Ludong Satellite TV channel has always had a very good vision. After a short period of time, he can find a TV series that has both reputation and performance.
Therefore, Wang Xuan was not surprised at all that Ludong TV won the right to broadcast the second round of "Born Together".
In fact, Zhu Xu also ran for several TV stations, including Ludong TV, Dolphin TV, Yangtze River TV, and Chili Pepper TV. In the end, only Ludong TV was successful, and other satellite TVs were in a wait-and-see state.
Because everyone knows that Huayi also made a youth campus film. Although the sample film from Tianhai is good, Huayi has invited several popular stars, and it is also the work of the campus god Xiaoxi, which is similar to Huayi. With the exception of Ludong TV, the other TV stations really don’t have much confidence in the youth campus drama competition here.
Yes, during this time, Huayi's "Hello, Youth" has announced that the finished product has been released and successfully submitted for review. The premiere is scheduled for Yanjing Satellite TV at 8pm on July 1st.
Huayi is Huayi, and the relationship is quite strong.
"Hello, Youth" and "Bloomberg Together" were almost finished at the same time, and were submitted for review a few days earlier than "Beginning Together". Logically speaking, it would take at least 30 days to know the review result, but it only took 25 days. , the review results of "Hello, Youth" are out.
According to Zhu Xu, "Welcome to School Together" has been submitted for review for many days. Those who have seen the sample film know that this drama will definitely pass the review. So if nothing else goes wrong, "Welcome to the Window" may have to collide with "Hello, Youth".
The two youth school dramas are of the same genre but are on the same schedule, and they will probably kill each other to the death.
Compared with the "Three Nos" dramas on Tianhai, Huayi has big names in screenwriting, directors, stars, and it's also a big production. How do the satellite TVs such as Dolphin, Yangtze River, and Chili Pepper treat "Welcome Together"? Have confidence?
If it were to change gears and avoid "Hello, Youth", several satellite TV stations would not be willing to do so. Because I spent a lot of money to buy the rights to play the second round of "Born Together", but I still have to avoid others, so I might as well not buy it.
For various reasons, except for Ludong Satellite TV, the other three satellite TV stations have chosen to wait and see.
Zhu Xu also wanted to run other TV series. Wang Xuan shook his head: "Forget it, there is no need to run away, let's call Brother Tao back. Instead of begging grandpa and grandma to buy our TV series now, it is better to wait for them to come to our door. .”
"Well, it seems Brother Xuan is very confident in "Welcome to School Together"." Zhu Xu said with a smile.
"That's for sure. "Born Together" is the first TV series I filmed in Tianhai. It is of great significance. I am rushing to become an instant hit. How could I not be confident? Just watch, they are waiting and watching now. After a while, Sometimes they beg us." Wang Xuan said.
Zhu Xu nodded, he liked Wang Xuan's confident look.
Mainly to make people feel at ease.
The biggest reason why he is optimistic about Tianhai and feels that Tianhai can become stronger and bigger is Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan is the backbone of Tianhai. If Tianhai loses him, it can also lose Li Tao. If Tianhai loses anyone, it can't lose Wang Xuan.
In the past, when Wang Xuan only showed his composing ability, Zhu Xu was very optimistic about Tianhai. Who would have thought that Wang Xuan could have such strong screenwriting and directing abilities?
Before Wang Xuan showed his ability as a screenwriter and director, Zhu Xu felt that Tianhai had at least half a chance of becoming a giant company. Now, the chance is at least 80%.
Anyway, as long as Wang Xuan is in Tianhai, Tianhai has all possibilities.
In the past two days, Li Tao actually went to Zhehai TV. The result is also countless particles. The reason is similar to that of Dolphin TV and others, they are all waiting and watching.
Unexpectedly, Yangcheng TV actually gave feedback and was willing to raise the price to 500,000 per episode to purchase the second-round broadcast rights of "Welcome to School Together". Li Tao, Zhu Xu and Wang Xuan were all surprised for a long time.
If Shenzhen TV is willing to spend 500,000 an episode to buy "Born Together", Wang Xuan and others will certainly not be surprised. But this is Yangcheng TV.
Yangcheng Satellite TV is famous for being Buddhist and stingy, and it was actually willing to spend so much money. This was something Wang Xuan and others did not expect.
This is definitely the limit of Yangcheng TV. Together, the three of them agreed to the price offered by Yangcheng TV, but they required Yangcheng TV to sign a confidentiality clause and were not allowed to reveal the price, otherwise they would have to pay 550,000 per episode.
Yangcheng TV naturally has no objection to this.
After both parties sign the agreement, the contract becomes effective.
By this time, the first broadcast rights and two second-round broadcast rights of "Born Together" have been sold, with a total of 2.05 million/episode sold. Considering that the production cost is less than 600,000 per episode, this TV series has already made a lot of money before it even started airing.
After signing with Yangcheng TV, Li Tao also returned to Tianhai. He listened to Wang Xuan and stopped running. He just waited for others to come to him and take the bait.
On the 15th, Lin Zhixiang came to Tianhai as promised.
He had contacted Wang Xuan before coming, so Wang Xuan, Zhu Xu and Li Tao met Lin Zhixiang at the gate of Tianhai.
This lineup can be said to have given Lin Zhixiang enough face, and also flattered Lin Zhixiang and his agent. They finally believed that Wang Xuan sincerely welcomed them to join Tianhai, otherwise there would be no need to do so.
Although Lin Zhixiang is a bit outdated, after all, he was also a king of singers before and became a hit. Because of his coming to Tianhai, it was naturally impossible to hide it from everyone. Along the way, many melon-eating people saw it. He also said hello to Lin Zhixiang.
Soon, Lin Zhixiang's appearance in Tianhai spread on the Internet and aroused heated discussion.
"Guess who I saw at the gate of Tianhai today?"
"who?"
"Lin Zhixiang and Wang Xuan."
"Damn it! I'm jealous! I actually saw Wang Xuan upstairs."
"Yes, I'm envious. In order to see Wang Xuan up close, I squatted near Tianhai many times, but I didn't even see Wang Xuan's shadow."
"That's weird. Is the focus now on meeting Wang Xuan? The focus is what Lin Zhixiang is doing in Tianhai?"
"It must be a contract with Tianhai. Do you even need to ask?"
"Impossible! Lin Zhixiang has already passed away. Tianhai was stupid to sign a contract with Lin Zhixiang."
"I am a fan of Lin Zhixiang. I admit that Lin Zhixiang was very strong and popular when he was young, but now that he is no longer good, how can Tianhai sign a contract with him and waste resources on him?"
"The problem is that I think Lin Zhixiang's strength is still there. His singing skills are still top-notch and his voice is still the same. If Wang Xuan creates a few songs, I believe he will definitely have a second spring."
"Yes, but it's not necessary. If Wang Xuan tailors a few songs for Lin Zhixiang, he will definitely make Lin Zhixiang famous again. The problem is that Lin Zhixiang is old and his image is not as good as before. Even if he becomes famous again, it probably has no commercial value. In this case , is it still necessary for Tianhai to waste resources on Lin Zhixiang?"
"That is, with that kind of resources, Wang Xuan is probably able to promote a singing king. For example, Du Chengfei is just a hair away from the singing king. Wouldn't it be nice for him to promote Du Chengfei as the singing king?"
"Look at the entire entertainment industry. It has been nearly ten days since Lin Zhixiang became a free man. Is there any company willing to spend energy on Lin Zhixiang? No? Because everyone knows that Lin Zhixiang has expired and is no longer good. I believe Tianhai will not be that stupid. .”
"Then tell me, why did Lin Zhixiang show up at Tianhai? I saw Wang Xuan and two senior executives of Tianhai greeting Lin Zhixiang at the gate of Tianhai."
"Who knows! Maybe there was a business cooperation with Lin Zhixiang before? Anyway, it is impossible for Tianhai to sign Lin Zhixiang unless the contract is for a bargain price." Someone said with confidence, which was recognized by most people on the Internet.
...
On the other side, Wang Xuan, Lin Zhixiang and others naturally didn't know that Lin Zhixiang's appearance at the gate of Tianhai actually caused a heated discussion on the Internet. ,
The two parties came to Tianhai's reception room. Wang Xuan asked the personnel department to bring over the contract that had been prepared. Lin Zhixiang and his agent were even more satisfied after reading the contract. Because this contract is actually a singer-level contract, and the salary is not much different from that of a popular singer.
Compared with the 5 million signing bonus offered to him by Huayi, the signing bonus offered by Tianhai is 15 million, with an annual salary. In addition, Tianhai will help him release several songs, albums, concerts, and commercial endorsements every year. These are also written in the contract.
Really sincere.
So after checking that there were no traps or leaks in the contract, Lin Zhixiang signed his name on the contract without hesitation.
Wang Xuan also signed his name and stamped Tianhai's official seal.
The contract officially comes into effect.
Since then, Lin Zhixiang has become an artist under Tianhai, and he is also the first singer signed by Wang Xuan after taking over Tianhai.
At this time, the heated discussion on the Internet about Lin Zhixiang's appearance in Tianhai has just subsided. Most people support the view that Tianhai will not sign Lin Zhixiang. Then, Tianhai's official Weibo suddenly posted a Weibo, which stunned countless people and also made the Internet that had just subsided start to boil again.
"Breaking news, Iron Lung Singer Lin Zhixiang has officially joined Tianhai. We warmly welcome Lin Zhixiang to join Tianhai's big family. We also believe that Lin Zhixiang can inject new vitality into Tianhai and set an example for Tianhai's artists.
This is a strong alliance. Lin Zhixiang, the Iron Lung Singer, joins Tianhai, which is definitely an added advantage for Tianhai. It is also the most correct choice for the Iron Lung Singer. Let’s wait and see! "
It was this Weibo that made the Internet that had just subsided start to boil again.
"66666, Tianhai actually signed Lin Zhixiang."
"Haha, it made me laugh. Many people said before that Tianhai could not sign Lin Zhixiang, and listed a lot of reasons. What now? Is it a slap in the face?"
"Is Tianhai stupid? He would actually sign Lin Zhixiang."
"You are stupid. Did you see it clearly? The signing between Tianhai General and Lin Zhixiang is described as a powerful alliance, adding more power to a tiger!"
"The strong alliance of Maoxian is even more powerful. I think Tianhai is giving charity to Lin Zhixiang and pitying Lin Zhixiang, so he signed the contract with Lin Zhixiang."
"That is, if you have the ability to expose the details of Lin Zhixiang's contract, the signing bonus must be very low."
As soon as he said this, Tianhai suddenly posted another Weibo: "Oh, I almost forgot, Lin Zhixiang is the first singer signed by the newly formed Tianhai. The annual salary of the contract is 15 million, and there are two songs per year personally composed by teacher Wang Xuan. We create new songs and an album, and help organize one large-scale concert and two medium-sized concerts every year. More details will not be disclosed."
As soon as this Weibo post came out, countless people on the Internet were stunned again.
"15 million? Damn it!"
"The annual salary of 15 million is at least the annual salary of a popular singer, right? Is Tianhai crazy?"
"I don't know whether Tianhai is crazy or not. I only know that the person who just said that Tianhai's signing of Lin Zhixiang was a charity has been slapped in the face again. If the annual salary of 15 million is charity, then give me a dozen of such charity!"
"Mao Yao! There is no basis for what you say. This is just Tianhai's own words. I don't believe that Tianhai will use 15 million annual salary to sign a contract with a has-been singer. He has the ability to show off the contract!" Someone said harshly.
After saying this, Tianhai's official Weibo suddenly said: "Oh, I almost forgot to attach the details of the contract between Tianyu and Iron Lung Singer." A screenshot of the contract details was posted on Weibo, and the items Tianhai just mentioned were all A screenshot of the response. The clearest screenshot is naturally the 15 million annual signing bonus.
"..." The tough-tongued person was slapped in the face again. I cursed in my heart.
You! On purpose?
