Chapter Forty-Eight: The Depressed People

Xu Ke was quite depressed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, his "Golden Knife Lover" suddenly rose to prominence and became Jiashi's rescue work, and the senior management also contacted him again and again, hoping that he would make another film.

Xu Ke chose another novel by Liang Yusheng, called "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", but when he was still discussing the book with the screenwriter, Jiashi suddenly changed the schedule of "Golden Knife Lover" to 7 o'clock.

Although it is still a prime time, and the ratings have increased to about 30%, the feeling of suddenly being reduced from a protagonist to a supporting role is really uncomfortable.

But the results of "Bao Qingtian" left Xu Ke speechless.

The 8 o'clock file broke 50% of the ratings on the first day, and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", which has been pressing "Golden Knife Lover", couldn't raise its head, and finally reached 68% in one breath to end the first unit, so strong, it is definitely not something that ordinary TV dramas can have.

Xu Ke carefully watched "Bao Qingtian" three times, and he thought the plot design in it was not bad, but all kinds of playful confrontations, fights, etc., made Xu Ke quite disdainful.

In his opinion, the reason why "Bao Qingtian" can be so successful is just to cater to the people's moods of "overthrowing power" and "asking for life for the people", and the realm of "chivalry" he pursues is completely two grades.

However, on the second day after the end of "Bao Qingtian's" "Quanmei Case", his "Golden Knife Lover" still ended tepidly with 32%, in front of the ratings that can be celebrated with champagne on weekdays, in fact, Jiashi sent Shi Shaoming and Liu Tianci over to accompany him for a drink.

Of course, Jia Shi is still very supportive of the planning of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", and gave him a fee of 50,000 per episode, and he can add some as appropriate, which Xu Ke thinks is not bad.

When he filmed "Golden Knife Lover", he only had 30,000 shooting funds for one episode.

The filming cost of Xiangjiang TV series has also increased greatly in recent years.

Nowadays, filming a small-production TV series, such as the previous "Bao Qingtian", plus all the costs, is almost about 10,000 per episode, and now it has only risen to more than 30,000; ordinary medium productions, such as "Golden Knife Lover", are 2-30,000 when added together; good productions, such as wireless's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", are about 5-60,000, more than 100,000 episodes, that is, blockbusters that can only appear in several years.

The production cost of Jiashi in the first two years was particularly high, take last year's "Dream of Red Mansions" as an example, a 100-episode feature-length masterpiece, dispatched all the elites of Jiashi, the popular student Wu Weiguo as Jia Baoyu, the pure x female Mao Xianyun as Lin Daiyu, and the first female star Wei Xue as Xue Baochai...... There are also various scene settings, costume preparations, etc., etc., so down, the production cost of an episode is as high as 120,000, setting a record for a Xiangjiang TV series.

But this masterpiece, which cost as much as 12 million Hong Kong dollars, ended up on the street, and the audience said that it was not good-looking, you ruined our Wu Weiguo, ruined Huanxue, and that Mao Xianyun, she looks good, but how can you not be next to the weak and sentimental Lin Daiyu, okay?

Therefore, "Dream of Red Mansions" has lost all its money, and it is also an important culprit that contributed to Jiashi's great difficulties this year and its imminent bankruptcy.

Even Mao Xianyun later recalled that she was the heroine for the first time in her life, but this first heroine collapsed a TV station.

Of course, the main responsibility for the failure of "Dream of Red Mansions" is not to blame Mao Xianyun, Lin Daiyu's problems in this regard are to blame the casting director, if there is no suitable candidate, you will directly pull the daughter of an acquaintance to make up the number, you are still the first heroine, the temperament is completely inconsistent, how can it work?

And the main reason for the failure of "Dream of Red Mansions" is that the entire structure, plot, and character relationships are not handled well, and they are completely ignorant.

You look at the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" in the mainland, although it is not so perfect, but it is definitely a standard work, so when it came to the broadcast in Xiangjiang, the ratings were higher than the current version!

Don't think it's a joke that a TV series brings down a TV station, "The Wind Whisperer" directed by Wu Da directly made the Hollywood giant MGM bankrupt again!

Come back to the present.

Although the ratings of "Bao Qingtian" have broken through the sky, it is impossible for a TV station to live on only one TV series, and Yin Jun is not a person from Jiashi, so it is still very important to cultivate his own excellent producers.

Xu Ke is Liang Shuyi's chosen person.

For the current Jiashi, the production cost of 50,000 episodes is nothing, and the net profit of almost 20 million in "Bao Qingtian" is enough for them to squander for a while.

Even if they use money to smash it, they want to smash out a few good films, so as not to have nothing to follow.

Of course, Xu Ke was depressed, and there was another group of people who were even more depressed.

This is the TV crew of "Celebrity Love History".

They would have been the most important main force of the planned July offensive.

As a result, they were squeezed to 7 o'clock by "Golden Knife Lover" every two days, and then "Golden Knife Lover" was squeezed to 7 o'clock by "Bao Qingtian" two days later, and their "Celebrity Love History" can only be broadcast at 11 o'clock garbage schedule.

You must know that this "Celebrity Love History" was pinned on by Jiashi, and under such difficult circumstances, they were also given 40,000 production costs for an episode, and stars such as Huan Xue and Zheng Yuling all went into battle, but they still failed to achieve good results.

Originally, "Golden Knife Lover" ended on Monday, and they were still waiting for "Celebrity Love History" to adjust the schedule, but at this time, Wu Weiguo's "The First Knife of the Storm" had just finished filming, so Jiashi directly put "The First Knife of the Storm" at 7 o'clock, and "The History of Celebrities" was still standing still.

As the screenwriter of "The Love History of Celebrities", the young man named Shu Qi was very depressed.

Like Xu Ke, he also watched "Bao Qingtian" over and over again, but he felt that "Bao Qingtian" was extremely vulgar and had no artistic value at all, and he really didn't know how the audience appreciated it.

The depression of young people deepened even more after Monday.

Because after Jiashi reached a contract agreement, it quickly gave the produced tapes to TV stations in various countries and regions on Monday.

In the case of very insufficient publicity, in just two days, all countries and regions in Southeast Asia were completely crazy about "Bao Qingtian".

These countries and regions, as long as it is the time period when "Bao Qingtian" is broadcast, has not fallen into the first place since the second episode.

Thailand's ratings for the same time period are 58%, Malaysia's is 54%, Vietnam's is 62%, Indonesia's is 55%, and the Philippines' is 63%.

In the more powerful treasure island area, the style, layout and tossing and turning of "Bao Qingtian" seemed to be tailor-made for them, and it hit 71% of the ratings in one go, directly hitting the other two TV stations on the treasure island and being stunned.

Of course, the most powerful thing is not the treasure island, but Singapore.

There is only one TV station in Singapore, where 98% of them are Chinese, the first episode of "Bao Qingtian" proudly won 66% of the ratings, and the second episode reached 85%, almost more than 90% of Singaporeans, regardless of gender, young and old, are watching this TV series!

has been broadcast for four consecutive days, and basically in the whole Chinese circle, only the voice of "Bao Qingtian" remains, whether it is a TV series or the theme song or ending song.

Polygram is in a hurry, I can't wait to sell the album right away, it's all money!

But Zhang Guorong is very picky here, although the song has been selected so far, the production is not very fast.

Several gold medal producers all gathered around Zhang Guorong, although they hated this kid's hypocrisy, but they could only coax this ancestor first, because ...... It's all money!!

Polygram is in a hurry, and there is an even more urgent one here.

Friday, July 14th.

At the Jiashi meeting in the morning, Ling Xuhua, the manager of the public relations department, threw out a big problem.

It's not about the ratings of "Bao Qingtian", now the ratings of "Bao Qingtian" remain around 65%-70%, and there is no room for respite when playing wireless and beautiful, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

And the reputation of the people is getting better and better, and even many people who didn't watch "Bao Qingtian" before have to take a look, so as not to fall behind and not know what to talk about with friends and colleagues.

What Ling Xuhua said was about the fax sent by the TV stations in other cities last night.

These TV stations in Baodao, Singapore and other places have tasted a huge sweetness in the past few days, and the high ratings have brought about a sharp rise in advertising costs, so far their advertising fees have risen again and again, and when converted, an episode can earn a net profit of almost 20-400,000 Hong Kong dollars!

The attraction of the two episodes to the public is too great, which is an important reason why the ratings have been high now.

If it becomes an episode one night in the future, this is a very unaccustomed thing, maybe the ratings will drop, and it will not reach the current sensational effect.

So they all discussed it and decided to put pressure on Jiashi together.

They asked that in the future time period, Jiashi would still provide them with 2 episodes of "Bao Qingtian" every day, for which they were willing to pay another 1-20,000 yuan for each TV station, adding up to 100,000 episodes.

And they guarantee that when this contract is fulfilled, their price guarantee will rise again when "Bao Qingtian" continues to be filmed next time.

"We hope to maintain a close and good cooperative relationship with your station, and we also hope that your station will carefully consider our request. ”

This is the last sentence on the joint fax.

Last night, after seeing this fax, Ling Xuhua called Liang Shuyi directly, and Liang Shuyi also called each senior executive, telling them about this matter, asking them to think about it, and come to everyone this morning to discuss and make a decision.

Now, it's time to make a decision.
