Chapter 171 Cut the country through the mountains and rivers

In the private room of Jinjiang Hotel, the three of Jinyutang drank wine with peace of mind, and the delicacies and delicious food went up as if they were free. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, Sui Shaoyang put down his glass and asked, "Yutang, Entertainment Weekly has been solved. What about Sunshine Film and Television?"

Jin Yutang is also a little worried. The strength of Sunshine Film and Television is not weak, and this is their base camp. It is almost impossible to deal with them with those partial tricks. There is nothing to argue about the ratings, and I really have no idea for a while.

Jin Yutang had no good idea, so he asked Zhang Duo, "A Duo, what do you think?"

Zhang Duo took a sip of the beer in the glass and asked, "If "The Country Breaks the Mountain and River" is cut off in half, what will it have on Sunshine Film and Television and Oriental Satellite TV?"

"How can it be? Sunshine Film and Television has always had a lot to do with Oriental Satellite TV, and they won't do this!" Sui Shaoyang said.

Jin Yutang also said, "That's right, although the ratings of "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers" are much lower than when it started broadcasting, but it's not bad. How can Oriental Satellite TV cut it off?"

Zhang Duo turned his eyes and said, "Do you know the specific ratings of "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers"?"

After Jin Yutang and Gu Shaoyang looked at each other, they found that each other's eyes were a little confused. Finally, Jin Yutang said, "I heard that there were more than three points before, but I don't know how much now!" A Duo, what's your idea?

Zhang Duo picked up his glass, took a sip, and said, "I plan to sell the second round of the broadcast rights of The Legend of the Condor Heroes to Oriental Satellite TV, on the condition that they cut off the Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers in half. It's just that if the ratings of "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers" is too high, it will be a little troublesome.

Jin Yutang heard it and said with bright eyes: "This is a good way. If the country's broken mountains and rivers are cut in half, even if Sunshine Film and Television can get the final payment, it will be much lower in price. What's more, their reputation will be greatly affected in this way.

"by the way, Shaoyang, you have a wide network. Can you see if you can find out the ratings of "The Country Breaks the Mountain and River" from Oriental Satellite TV?" Jin Yutang said to Sui Shaoyang.

Sui Shaoyang was a little confused, patted his chest and said, "It's a small matter. I'll call you right now."

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and said vaguely. Although he was around, Zhang Duo found that he didn't understand many words. Fortunately, I understood the sentence of ratings, because when it came to ratings, Sui Shaoyang shouted in surprise, "What, it has dropped to a little more? Isn't this too exaggerated? Okay, thank you, buddy. I'll buy you a drink some other day.

After hanging up the phone, Sui Shaoyang said to Zhang Duo with a smile, "I heard that it has dropped to more than a little? I don't know if it meets your expectations?"

Zhang Duo raised the corners of his mouth and said with a proud smile, "Brother Shaoyang, please help me make an appointment with the film purchase director of Oriental Satellite TV. The sooner the better!"

Sui Shaoyang smiled and said, "No problem!"

......

Miao Fuping is the film purchase director of Oriental Satellite TV. In the TV series industry in the buyer's market, because he holds the power to buy films and countless film dealers flatt with him, not to mention how free his life is. But recently, he has been a little unhappy, and the reason is that "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers".

He was only promoted to the director of film purchase this year. The previous one was fired by Satellite TV because he received bribes from film dealers and the ratings of the TV series he bought were bleak, resulting in a sharp decline in advertising revenue. And after his promotion, he naturally wanted to buy some hot-view films.

He had also stared at The Legend of the Condor Heroes, but he had never competed with Songjiang Satellite TV. Miao Fuping, who retreated to the second place, turned his attention to the big production of other film and television companies, which was Sunshine Film and Television's Broken Mountains and Rivers.

According to international practice, the risk of the effect of a TV series after it is broadcast should be borne by both parties. However, in the process of trading domestic dramas, this risk is basically passed on to the producer. When signing the contract for the drama, many TV stations generally require the producer to make a specific commitment to "break ××" ratings.

Under the pressure of TV stations, many productions have to sign an agreement to ensure that the ratings reach the "××" point, and sometimes even have to ensure the ratings ranking. If the promise cannot be fulfilled, the TV station will reduce the money infinitely; if the promise is exceeded, the TV station will not increase the price.

But there are exceptions to everything. For example, some dramas that are sought after by TV stations will not "enjoy" this kind of treatment, such as The Legend of the Condor Heroes. And the voice before "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers" is also very high, and there are many TV stations that are optimistic about it. Miao Fuping still used some means to buy the broadcasting rights. Naturally, he will not sign such an agreement to ensure ratings.

It was okay when it first started broadcasting, and the ratings at 8:1 gave him a lot of praise. Unexpectedly, after the broadcast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he watched "The Broken Mountains and Rivers" fall from eight o'clock to seven o'clock, seven o'clock to six o'clock, five o'clock, four o'clock and three o'clock. Originally, I thought it would be over after three o'clock, but yesterday's plot was too sadistic, and the ratings suddenly fell to one point two.

His heart is bleeding. Just because he didn't sign the ratings guarantee, now all the risks must be borne by Oriental Satellite TV. Because he just came up, it is not good for the station to completely deny him because of a mistake, but if there is any mistake, I'm afraid he will be the film purchase director with the shortest time of Oriental Satellite TV.

With this pressure, when Miao Fuping heard Sui Shaoyang's message that Zhang Duo of Wanbang Film and Television wanted to talk to him, he almost agreed without much consideration.

The next day, still in the private room of Jinjiang Hotel, Miao Fuping looked at Zhang Duo, who was as big as his son, and could not connect him with the identity of a famous writer, director and actor. Especially when Zhang Duo smiled, there was still a trace of innocence on his face, not like the vice president of a film and television company, but like a student who was still studying.

"No, he is a student, but how can I be a little nervous!" Miao Fuping thought of it in his heart and then said, "Mr. Zhang Duo, I don't know what you want to talk about when you asked me here?"

Zhang Duo picked up the glass and said, "Director Miao, how about a drink before talking about business?"

Naturally, Miao Fuping will not show timidity in front of Zhang Duo. After pouring wine and drinking with Zhang Duo, he continued, "Mr. Zhang, you and I are not people who have a lot of free time. As far as I know, your company's "Dongchengxi" is still in the middle of intense shooting, but you appear in Shanghai in your busy schedule. Make Miao puzzled!"

Zhang Duo smiled and said, "Director Miao is right. I really don't have much time here, so I'll go straight to the point. To make a long story short, I hope you Oriental Satellite TV can cut off the half of "The Country Breaks the Mountain and the River"."

When Miao Fuping heard this, his heart was creepy. He said that this Duo really dared to think about it. Cutting off the waist of "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers", which would offend Sunshine Film and Television to death. Although Oriental Satellite TV will not be afraid of a film and television company, it does not have enough benefits, and the station will never agree. If Zhang Duo dares to make such a request, then he has enough chips, and Miao Fuping should listen carefully.

"Do you want us to cut the country's broken mountains and rivers? Do you know how much you will lose in the station? What benefits can you give us and dare to make such a request? Miao Fuping sneered.

Zhang Duo said with a meaningful smile, "The second round of the Legend of the Condor Heroes!" Director Miao should know something about the replays and ratings of Demi-Gods and Sword, right? My works, novels and TV series are also super durable.

Miao Fuping was moved when he heard this. He is in the film and television industry, and naturally knows something about this newly rising Wanbang film and television. Although Wanbang's capital and scale are far from the top film and television companies at present, its influence is not inferior at all.

In the past, major domestic TV stations and film manufacturers did not pay attention to the second round of broadcasting, and the price of the film was low and the ratings were not high. However, all this has been broken by Wanbang Film and Television. Whether it is Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils or Bright Sword, they have achieved ultra-high ratings in the second round, but the price is not high, which has attracted countless TV stations. It also triggered a rebroadcast, and many classic TV series were brought to the screen one after another, and the ratings were actually very impressive.

At present, the ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have reached 27.2, surpassing the 259 of "Bright Sword", and has temporarily become the annual audience champion in 2002. Moreover, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is only half broadcast, and it will definitely be higher in the finale. If it is replayed, even if there are no ten or eight points, there must be five or six points of ratings, and the price is relatively cheap and cost-effective.

If this is the condition, it is not a negotiation, but Miao Fuping still bargained, "If Mr. Zhang can sign another martial arts film for us, I agree in principle, and I want to convince the leaders in the stage. What do you think?"

Zhang Duo listened, but frowned. Wanbang Film and Television and Songjiang Satellite TV have always had a good relationship. Although they did not say that every work should be broadcast on Songjiang Satellite TV, everyone acquiesced in their hearts. Moreover, Songjiang Satellite TV is now striving to be the boss of the local TV, and the cooperation is getting closer and closer. If Wanbang directly signed the film to other satellite TV instead of bidding, it would destroy this good cooperative relationship.

"Mr. Miao is too greedy! Do you know how many local satellite TV stations are grabbing the right to broadcast the second round of The Legend of the Condor Heroes? Even CCTV is talking to us about this matter, but I gave it to you. Mr. Miao's appetite is not too big!" Zhang Duo asked back.

Miao Fuping smiled and said, "I naturally know this, but cutting a TV series in half is also a big thing. This is a life that offends people. There are no many benefits that are hard to refuse. No one has done that! Of course, I don't force each other too much. I heard that "Xiao Li Fei Dao" is already preparing. How about we just keep this one for you?

Zhang Duo listened, turned his eyes, and after thinking about it, he said, "Well, I'll go back to discuss it. You can also report to the above. How about we talk about it tomorrow?"

Miao Fuping said, "Okay, I hope there will be a satisfactory result in the end."
