Chapter 145: I’ve done even more extreme things, so what does this mean?

This internal screening of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was neither lively nor lively, but rather lively.

It was not very lively because no ordinary audiences, journalists, film critics and other film critics were invited.

The reason why it was so lively was because the three major film and television platforms and the three major local TV stations were all present.

Adding up all the large and small platforms, there were more than 20 people present.

This kind of internal film viewing meeting has not happened before.

Most producers will definitely send out invitations, and almost any platform will invite them.

But it’s one thing if you invite someone, but it’s another thing entirely if someone comes to the platform.

For some small and medium-sized film and television companies, not to mention inviting platforms to participate in preview sessions, most of them still need to humbly go around looking for platforms to buy the copyrights of their own dramas.

Even some large film and television companies, including Fengge, do not buy into all platforms.

So those who dare to play like this must either be a big investment drama, have a strong cast, and have directors, actors, etc. who have extremely high status in the industry.

Otherwise, he is very confident in the quality of his new drama.

For this internal screening of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", almost all the platforms on the invitation list came.

Even Zhu Yu was a little surprised.

After all, she knew about the conflict between Xu Kong and Qi Guo, and Qi Guo actually came.

And it was Qin Xian, the vice president, who came in person.

It can be seen that after the trailer of Fairy Sword was released, there are almost no platforms that are not interested in Xu Kong's new drama.

"In terms of financial strength, in fact, including Mango, the financial strength of the three major local stations is almost the same."

"As for the film and television platforms, Kiwi and Penguin Video are both local rich people who are not short of money. Potato is a little worse, but they should be able to pay a few times."

Zhu Yu showed Xu Kong the list of people who came to participate in the trial meeting this time.

To put it simply, apart from these six platforms, some others are basically just here to join in the fun.

After all, the size of the platform is there. Not to mention the popularity of Fairy Sword before it is broadcast. For a drama with an investment of 200 million yuan, most platforms cannot afford the copyright fees.

Especially for some TV stations other than the three major local stations, it can be seen from the dramas that are usually broadcast during prime time that the financial situation and budget may be in the tens of millions for one drama.

The main reason is that the impact brought by the network platform is undoubtedly huge for these local stations.

In addition to various official TV stations, local stations such as Mango have been affected to a greater or lesser extent.

"He did it on purpose!"

"It's just a job arranged by the director. Why can't he speak?"

In the hotel, Li Xun was furious.

He had just finished talking to Wu Youxue, and the reason was naturally because of the copyright for Xu Kong's new drama.

Not to mention those in the entertainment industry, even the more gossipy viewers from the outside world know that Wu Youxue and Xu Kong have a very good relationship.

During the broadcast of "Our Song", Xu Kong was sold to Fengge by Fengqing Entertainment, and various rumors were flying all over the Internet.

However, Wu Youxue still insisted on retaining Xu Kong's qualifications, and for more than a month after Xu Kong disappeared, the program team still used Xu Kong as the main guest in the promotion.

After Xu Kong returned, he directly wrote a song with the same name as the show.

Who can believe that Wu Youxue and Xu Konghou are not familiar with each other and cannot talk about it?

But that's how he was rejected.

Although Mango's copyright budget is quite high this time, Li Xun still doesn't have full confidence.

Because of last year's New Year's Eve party, Wu Youxue has been taking various excuses until April now.

Recently, whether it is new dramas or variety shows, Mango has almost always been overshadowed by the other two major local channels. Everyone, including the channel director, is under a lot of pressure.

"Manager Li, why don't we consider the specific copyright fee quotation first?"

Another manager who came with Li Xun couldn't help but speak.

He felt that Li Xun obviously had a problem with his thinking.

At that New Year's Eve party, Li Xun was arranged by several leaders of Mango to be the director. The moment he agreed, he was actually in line.

Why do you still imagine that Wu Youxue can come to help him?

Mango's New Year's Eve party dropped out of the top three in ratings for the first time in so many years. It's pretty good that Li Xun can continue to be responsible for Mango's copyright work without being held too accountable.

It was obvious that someone was deliberately trying to protect him.

Now almost all the middle and senior management of Mango know very well that Wu Youxue took the initiative to take such a long leave, probably just waiting for the two station directors to bow their heads.

If Wu Youxue can return to Mango in the future, it is very likely that he will not only be a director.

If there is really a liquidation or something like that, he, Li Xun, will definitely be the first one.

At this time, it was too whimsical to think about listening to the director's arrangements and trying to please Wu Youxue.

Maybe both sides will be offended and become the only victims.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously took a few steps away from Li Xun, but he couldn't get too close to him to avoid being implicated.

Although Xu Kong himself has always had the decision-making power for this internal film screening, including the specific invitation list.

But the specific implementation must be left to Feng Ge's film and television department.

Manager Yan Rui, who made the initial decision to establish the Fairy Sword project, is still responsible for this matter.

In this regard, this old man has quite a lot of experience.

Xu Kong even made predictions about the bottom price of each platform.

"On the online platform, like Kiwi and Penguin, the base price should not exceed 8 million per episode."

"As for TV stations, the base price of the three major local stations should be around six to seven million."

Because whether it is broadcast on stars or online platforms, the exclusive broadcast rights are sold directly, so the price is quite high.

Xu Kong came to Feng Ge's first self-directed and acted drama. It is quite rare to be able to get such a copyright fee.

"Manager Yan, which company do you think is better to cooperate with?"

After Xu Kong listened, he didn't worry about the copyright fee, but instead took the initiative to ask.

Copyright fees are of course the most important consideration, but beyond that, what still needs to be taken into consideration is the influence of the platform and the TV station itself.

To put it harshly, the upper limits of the same drama broadcast on Beijing TV and Mango TV are definitely different.

After all, there are obvious differences in the audience bases on both sides.

"Of course I choose the one with more money."

Yan Rui answered without any hesitation.

But I will continue to add later:

"But if the bids are not much different"

"The three major local stations, Taiwan Mango, are definitely the best choice. Their publicity channels and promotion capabilities are definitely among the best in the entire industry."

"As for the video platform, if Tudou doesn't offer a very high price, I don't recommend choosing it. The number of users is still far behind that of Kiwi and Penguin."

Yan Rui knew what Xu Kong was thinking.

Although Xu Kong himself can be regarded as the producer of this drama this time, at the same time, it is a drama that he directed and starred in after all.

In addition to copyright fees, external reputation and influence, including the popularity after the broadcast and data, have a great impact on Xu Kong.

It may even be directly related to Xu Kong's future status and development in the film and television industry.

After all, the platform is not a fool. Spending such a high copyright fee on a drama is not for charity. Direct profits, indirect word-of-mouth influence, etc. will all be considered.

If Xu Kong's new drama is a complete hit after it is aired and has a good reputation, subsequent Xu Kong dramas will only make them flock to it even more.

Fengge Company has a lot of movie theaters. After all, it is the top film and television company in the country. This time, the internal viewing meeting of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was held in a medium-sized theater in the Film and Television Department.

“They are all old acquaintances!”

Qin Xian came in and sat down. After taking a glance, he found that almost all of them were familiar faces.

Zeng Xi from the Kiwi Copyright Department and Luan Huiyuan from Penguin.

Including the three major local stations, Qin Xian almost knew everyone in the past.

And they are all the main persons in charge of copyright aspects of each company.

It is really rare to be able to gather so many people together.

The most important thing is that as the domestic market becomes more mature, many large-scale dramas are produced, especially those produced by large companies like Feng Ge.

In fact, before the filming starts, a cooperation agreement may have been signed, and the copyright may even be sold in advance.

There are still fewer and fewer internal film viewing parties like Xu Kong's this time.

"Mr. Qin, long time no see!"

When he heard someone greeting him, Qin Xian showed a formulaic smile on his face.

When he turned his head and looked around, he realized it was Li Xun from Mango.

His smile suddenly faded a lot, and he just replied politely: "Long time no see, Manager Li."

Mango and their kiwi fruit were close partners before.

But after Mango started to build its own video platform, Mango’s homemade variety shows almost never appeared on the Kiwi platform.

The two sides have now become competitive.

The replacement chosen by Kiwi in the future is Ocean Station, which is also one of the three major local stations.

However, although there have been many popular variety shows, the overall variety show data and quality are still not comparable to Mango.

For example, last year, Mango's "Singer" almost stole the popularity of all variety shows.

The follow-up "Our Song" in which Xu Kong participated also became the only hit at the end of the year.

In terms of variety shows, Qin Xian still admires the old guy Wu Youxue. Others are grabbing hot spots to create show gimmicks. Most of Wu Youxue's programs are able to create hot spots themselves.

Of course Li Xun noticed Qin Xian's change of face.

I felt very unhappy inside, but on the surface I still had a very polite chat.

He knew that the relationship between mango and kiwi fruit was very subtle, but it was still a bit uncomfortable.

After all, when the two parties first cooperated, the other party would not have such an expression when meeting him.

But Li Xun obviously misunderstood Qin Xian.

The reason why he has such an attitude is really not because of the mangoes.

Although mangoes and kiwis have parted ways, the work that needs to be done on the surface still needs to be done.

To put it simply, he was not targeting Mango, but simply Li Xun.

Although no one outside may know about it, and no media will take the initiative to report it.

But Qin Xian, an industry insider, must be aware of various rumors about Mango in the past six months.

He was the one who thought Wu Youxue could win.

As for Li Xun, since he was arranged to be the director of the Mango New Year's Eve Party, it was obvious that he belonged there.

If Qin Xian expresses his stance, of course he needs to keep his distance.

No matter what happens, if Wu Youxue really leaves Mango in the future, he might be able to invite them to Kiwi Fruit.

Make up for the shortcomings of the current kiwi fruit variety show.

"Mr. Qin, is our budget still the same as before?"

Next to Qin Xian, Huang Qifeng asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this question, his expression became a little tangled.

Finally he gritted his teeth.

"Eight million episodes capped."

"Let's talk if we can get it, if not, forget it."

There must be a reason for Qin Xian's change in attitude.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the copyright fee budget to have directly increased by 70 to 80 million in just a few days.

In addition to coming here and seeing almost all the competitors, the main reason is because Feng Ge gave them the script of Xu Kong's new drama a few days ago.

In fact, from the previously released trailer, we can see the production quality and general quality of this "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

What everyone is most worried about is nothing more than the plot of this drama.

After watching it, Qin Xian knew that the most eye-catching thing about Xu Kong's new drama might not be the special effects, but the plot, even if he was still confused.

Eight million an episode, according to the size of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", the copyright fee is almost 300 million.

Although it is not the highest copyright fee price for kiwi fruit, it is definitely among the top ones.

Of course Qin Xian's heart aches, but if he just gives up like this, he feels reluctant to give up.

Especially after the previous failure of "Want to See You", it was a big mistake for Qin Xian.

At least we can't make the same mistake this time.

Qin Xian still has the same over-the-top and arrogant personality, which is probably something he will never change in his lifetime.

But at the same time, with the naked reality in front of him, Xu Kong could only surrender.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister Yu."

On the eve of the film viewing party, Xu Kong said while looking at Zhu Yu who was still busy.

This time, although the internal film screening was organized with the help of the film and television department.

But the specific work of connecting with major platforms was handled personally by Zhu Yu, the agent.

Even the usual habit of not working overtime was made several times for Xu Kong.

"It's all my job."

Xu Kong suddenly said such words, and Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment before speaking.

Since the last time she saw Xu Kong and Su Zhi, she had deliberately kept a distance from Xu Kong.

But there was nothing she could do. She was the other party's agent, and Xu Kong was a completely shameless person. He still ran towards her office regardless of anything.

The sudden touch made Zhu Yu's whole body stiffen in place, and the hand that was typing on the keyboard stopped.

"I see your hair is falling out"

Xu Kong moved Zhu Yu's hanging hair behind the other person's ears in a natural movement and said calmly.

"Thank you."

What could Zhu Yu say? Of course she knew that Xu Kong's over-the-top behavior must have been intentional.

But if you really get excited suddenly about something like this, then the reaction would be a bit too much.

And Zhu Yu knew in her heart that in fact the two of them had done more than that, so it didn't matter.

But even this inconspicuous little action made it impossible for her to calm down anymore.

Stop scolding, don’t scold, the author has been experiencing three positives recently, and he really can’t stand it. After resting for this month, he will adjust and continue to update
