Everyone knows that the price shouted by Tianhai has a lot of water content. To be honest, if it were not for the fact that Yangcheng TV is eyeing the TV series next to it, Ludong TV would have paid around 2.3 million per episode for the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" at most. After all, the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has not yet been completed. Before seeing the finished product, even if they have confidence in Wang Xuan, they will still be a little conservative.
In other words, 2.3 million yuan/episode is actually not conservative at all. The introduction cost is already nearly 120 million yuan, which requires a lot of risk. What if Wang Xuan misses?
If the ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" take off, 120 million will definitely be enough for Ludong TV. But what Lin Jun is offering now is more than 120 million?
In order to win the first broadcast rights of "The Condor", after discussing with the station, Mr. Lin has raised the price to 2.8 million per episode, just to be on the safe side, okay?
2.8 million per episode, the cost is as high as 150 million, and the risks that need to be taken can be imagined. Both Lin Jun and Taili thought that this price was enough to win the premiere right of "The Condor", but He Susu actually offered 3 million per episode!
In other words, for the price shouted by Tianhai, Yangcheng Satellite TV actually gave the original price without cutting any cents. Otherwise, how can you say that Yangcheng TV is a ruthless person?
"Mr. He is so courageous!" After the results came out, Mr. Lin couldn't help but say.
"We accept each other, Mr. Lin."
"The introduction cost is as high as 160 million. With such a high price, isn't Yangcheng TV afraid of losing money?"
"If you really want to calculate it, isn't the price quoted by Mr. Lin also as high as 150 million? Ludong TV is not afraid of losing money. What does our Yangcheng TV have to fear?" He Susu said.
"..." Mr. Lin felt a little regretful when he mentioned this. If I had known that Yangcheng Satellite TV was so ruthless, Ludong Satellite TV would have overpaid by 20 to 300,000 yuan. After all, they had even reported 150 million yuan, so an overpaid salary of more than 10 million yuan would be nothing more than watering down.
pity...
The matter has come to this, and there is no point in regretting it.
I wanted to wish "Legend of the Condor Heroes" a hit in the ratings of Yangcheng TV. Considering that Li Tao was present, Ludong TV would inevitably have to cooperate with Tianhai in the future, so I thought about it and let it go.
Lin Jun said goodbye to Li Tao and He Susu, and left with the people from Ludong TV.
Li Tao originally wanted to stop Lin Jun and ask her if she wanted the second-round broadcast rights of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but after thinking about it, he decided not to talk about it until the filming of "The Condor Heroes" was completed.
One day later, someone from Yangcheng TV came over with an official seal. Li Tao also took out the authorization contract that he had prepared long ago. After both parties confirmed that it was correct, they both signed their names and stamped their official seals on the bottom.
“Happy to work with!”
“Happy to work with!”
After signing, the two parties shook hands, and just like that, the first broadcast rights of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were won by Yangcheng TV at a price of 3 million per episode.
The price was a bit higher than Li Tao's expectation. He was initially a little disappointed, but when he thought about the cost of filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and Wang Xuan's usual style of doing things, Li Tao became confident again.
Brother Xuan is a person who strives for excellence. The shooting cost of "The Condor" exceeded 100 million, and it was purely shooting cost. It is definitely not much different when you think about it.
Yes, a few days ago, Li Tao estimated the shooting cost to be over 80 million yuan, and now it has exceeded 100 million yuan. Because two days ago, Wang Xuan asked Tianhai Finance for another 10 million for scenery and the like.
Gee, if this trend continues, it's hard to estimate how much the final filming cost of "The Condor" will be. But breaking 100 million is certain.
"Before, many TV stations wanted the right to premiere "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but after going to the scene to observe the filming, they all backed down. Only Mr. He and Mr. Lin stayed. Mr. He was very interested in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Are you so confident?" Li Tao asked curiously.
"That's right, that's wrong. "Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a hit. The original version alone has hundreds of thousands of subscriptions. During the serialization period, it was in the top 20 on the Thousand View Index every day. The fan base is astonishingly huge. Now this movie is going to be Of course we have confidence in making it into a TV series. But in fact, rather than saying that we have confidence in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it is better to say that we have confidence in Teacher Wang Xuan. When has Teacher Wang Xuan ever disappointed people?" He Susu said .
Li Tao nodded when he heard this.
Even Suning TV, which had had in-depth cooperation with Tianhai, backed down, but Yangcheng TV had confidence in Wang Xuan. In comparison, Li Tao had a better impression of Yangcheng TV.
"Believe me, Yangcheng TV has definitely made the most correct choice. Let me show Mr. He a piece of data." After Li Tao finished speaking, he took out a document from the drawer and gave it to He Susu.
"What is this?" He Susu was stunned and took the document from Li Tao's hand.
"The crew expenditure document of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" records in detail the various expenditure data of our Mr. Wang during the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"," Li Tao said.
He Susu was a little surprised when he heard this, and even more surprised after reading the document. Because the total expenditures for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have reached more than 60 million.
"You see, in order to make "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" a success, our boss Wang absolutely spared no effort and did not consider the cost. Just the three items of service, Taoism, and transformation alone cost 30 million. The follow-up will only be More. After all, the filming of "The Condor" is only about half-way through now. I estimate that by the time "The Condor" is finished filming, it will cost at least 50 million to convert it.
And this is just for service, and the expenditure on other aspects will only be more.
For example, in order to shoot a grassland scene with a panoramic view of thousands of miles of grassland, Mr. Wang even rented an unmanned helicopter and a traditional helicopter, which cost several million in a few days. If a shot does not satisfy Mr. Wang, we will keep reshooting it. The most shots are retaken fifty times, which is all wasted money.
We have estimated that by the time "Legend of the Condor Heroes" is completed, the cost of filming this large-scale martial arts TV series will be 120 million.
Note that this is only the cost of shooting, and special effects will be added later. These are all expensive things, and they cost tens of millions to start. And the film and television rights to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" cost 20 million anyway. If we include Mr. Wang’s appearance fee...
The true cost of "Legend of the Condor Heroes" is at least over 200 million. Otherwise, how could I dare to ask for 3 million per episode for the premiere rights of "Legend of the Condor Heroes"? "Li Tao said.
He Susu nodded after hearing this.
As Li Tao said, the production cost of "The Condor" was more than 200 million? Wang Xuan's appearance fee alone is sky-high. After all, "The Condor Shooting" took Wang Xuan five or six months to complete.
With a high-cost, refined production, coupled with Wang Xuan's popularity bonus and inherent popularity bonus, how can this "Legend of the Condor Heroes" disappoint?
Yangcheng TV definitely made a profit.
"Many people on the Internet are worried that Mr. Wang doesn't understand "The Condor", so he will blindly adapt "The Condor" and ruin the classic. But in fact, no one understands "The Condor" better than Mr. Wang. You will know this in the future. ." Li Tao said.
He Susu rolled her eyes when she heard this, and complained: "Mr. Li, is it really okay to just say half of it? It's not such a mouth-watering thing."
"Hehe, you will know in the future anyway." Li Tao smiled, "By the way, don't reveal the cost of filming "The Condor". I just saw that you spent so much money to acquire the premiere rights of "The Condor" , just to give you some reassurance."
He Susu nodded.
He Susu originally spent 160 million to purchase the first broadcast rights of "The Condor", which made He Susu feel a little guilty. Now after seeing the cost of filming "The Condor", he feels relieved.
Later, Li Tao invited He Susu and his party to have lunch together in Tianhai's cafeteria, but He Susu did not refuse. It is said that Tianhai’s employee meals are very sumptuous and top-notch in the industry. He Susu has wanted to experience it for a long time.
The result did not disappoint He Susu. All the side dishes are carefully matched, including soups, vegetables, fruits, and snacks. Not to mention the color, flavor, and nutrition, they are also very balanced.
After Tianhai had a lunch, the people from Yangcheng TV who came with her all complained about Yangcheng TV's employee meals. They said that compared with Tianhai's employee meals, Yangcheng TV's employee meals were like pig food.
He Susu also couldn't laugh or cry about this. She is also considering whether to suggest to Taili to improve the staff meals after returning.
...
Although it purchased the first broadcast rights of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Yangcheng Satellite TV is not in a hurry to make an official announcement and plans to wait until the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is completed. Mainly, official announcements are of little use now, and news is also popular.
Now that it has been officially announced, it is expected to cause a sensation, but "Legend of the Condor Heroes" has not been released for a long time. It will not take long for the popularity to pass. It will have to be re-promoted when it goes online. Just a waste of money.
Tianhai also has no official announcement for the same reason. After all, the finished film of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" hasn't been released yet.
Anyway, the premiere rights have been sold, so there’s no need to worry.
For the second-round broadcast rights, it is best if they can be sold in advance. If they cannot be sold, wait until the first broadcast ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are released. Li Tao is still confident about the premiere ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
The author, TV series screenwriter, and director are all Wang Xuan. If even Wang Xuan can't film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" well, it is estimated that no one else will be able to make this palace-level martial arts film and television.
Time passed, and the filming of "The Condor" was proceeding in an orderly manner.
At the same time, the filming of "Farewell My Concubine" is also proceeding in an orderly manner. This movie, which is destined to go down in the history of the Chinese film industry, started casting in April and started shooting in May. Now at the end of November, after half a year, it is finally coming to an end. It is estimated that the filming should be completed by the end of December.
Coupled with post-production editing and review, it should not be a big problem to launch it in time for the Lunar New Year next year.
Of course, the filming progress of "Farewell My Concubine" can be so fast. On the one hand, the leading actors are well selected and have good acting skills. On the other hand, it is Chen Kai's training ability. As a member of the Double Billion Box Office Club First, Chen Kai’s ability as a director to train actors is undoubted. In addition, Chen Kai would consult Wang Xuan for advice from time to time.
It is worth mentioning that the movie "Farewell My Concubine" has a lot of soundtracks. Of course, most of the soundtrack was provided by Wang Xuan, and Gu Jiahui helped record it. A small part of the soundtrack was original by Gu Jiahui.
The movie is still the same movie, and the plot is still similar, but there are definitely some differences in what different directors filmed.
The soundtrack will also be slightly different. It's just a change for the better. After all, Wang Xuan had reference images in his mind. If the images taken by Chen Kai were not as good as the ones in his mind, he would definitely give some suggestions tactfully.
This is how November comes to an end.
The annual battle of the gods is here again.
For the annual battle of the gods, countless people are full of energy and ready to fight.
Many big-name singers promote new songs months in advance.
Weibo, major blog forums, and Moments have all become battlefields, propaganda battlefields, and high ground. Especially in November, in order to promote the new songs of their big-name singers participating in the War of the Gods, many companies have made hot search headlines. It’s really the emperor’s turn to make the headlines. Come to my house this year.
It was so hot.
The flames of war even affected Wang Xuan for a time.
The reason is that Wang Xuan's fans saw that other singers were having a heated fight, and other singers' fan groups were also having a heated fight, so they "laughed" on the Internet. It's not too big a deal to watch the excitement.
As a result, he was ridiculed. Fans on several sides suddenly unanimously attacked Wang Xuan's fan group and responded with sarcasm.
The general meaning is this: "We are fighting fiercely. At least the idols we are fans of are relatively advanced. Unlike the Wang Xuan Buddhist system, they have not even participated in the battle of the gods."
Fans of Wang Xuan are not vegetarians either. Instead, they sarcastically said: "What do you want about the battle of the gods? Isn't the "Fairy Tale" album good? Isn't the "Jiangnan" album good? Your idols are so awesome, let them do it with my Wang Xuan Come on, why is it that when our Wang Xuan releases a single or an album, your idol acts like a coward?"
"That's right. Don't say that our Wang Xuan has released singles and albums by himself. When it comes to songs written and composed by our Wang Xuan and sung by other singers, your idols have to stay away. That's it, you still want our family to Is Wang Xuan participating in the battle of the gods? Be careful of your idols spanking you."
As soon as these words came out, the other fan groups stopped talking.
Because this is a fact. Even if you don't want to admit it, this is the truth.
Wang Xuan is too strong.
The verbal abuse was a victory, but Wang Xuan's fans still found it a bit unsatisfactory. Mainly, what other fan groups said is true. Wang Xuan has never even participated in the battle of the gods.
As a result, many fans sent private messages to Wang Xuan's Weibo, hoping that he could participate in the Battle of the Gods. As for why he sent a private message instead of leaving a direct message on Wang Xuan's Weibo, it was naturally because he didn't want other fans to see it.
After all, they had just ridiculed others, sneered at the War of the Gods, and then turned around and left a public message on Wang Xuan's Weibo. Wasn't that a slap in the face?
It's a pity that Wang Xuan has been filming "The Condor Shooting" and has no time to read private messages.
Of course, he usually doesn't read private messages because there are too many and he can't read them even if he wants to. Therefore, Wang Xuan cannot see the requests from fans.
As for fans arguing with other fans on the Internet, Wang Xuan knew about it, but when he saw that the fans were winning, Wang Xuan didn't take it seriously. If he loses, given Wang Xuan's defensive character, he will probably participate in the battle of the gods just to stand up for his fans.
But Wang Xuan's not participating in the War of the Gods does not mean that Tianhai will not participate in the War of the Gods. On the contrary, the lineup sent by Tianhai is very luxurious.
Lin Zhixiang, Xu Yang, and Zhu Xiaoxiao have all released new songs.
Lin Zhixiang's new song is "Dare to Love, Dare to Hate", which is a very classic Cantonese song. Xu Yang's new song is "The Shining Star in the Night Sky", which is also a very classic song.
Zhu Xiaoxiao's song is "My Loulan", which is also a very classic song.
They were all songs selected by Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan thought that the crown of the battle of gods should belong to Tianhai, but something unexpected happened!
