The contact with the TV station was extremely smooth.

As a native of Jiangchuan, the first TV station Meng Lang found was the local children's channel in Jiangchuan.

Jiangchuan TV has five sub-channels, and the satellite broadcast signals cover the whole country. Although the children's channel is not as famous as the comprehensive channel and news channel, there are not many loyal viewers in Jiangchuan, a first-tier city with tens of millions of people.

Initial contact, the other party's intention to buy the film is not strong.

Special film? It's not appropriate to put it on the children's channel, and the yo-yo is such a dangerous toy, parents won't be relieved after seeing it... Director Tao, who was in charge of receiving Meng Lang, shook his head.

Unsurprisingly, it is impossible for this film to be broadcast on stars through procurement channels.

Meng Lang wasn't stupid either. From Director Tao's eyes, he could see his suspicion of bad movies and his distrust of Huolishaonianwang.

Sorry! We don't have any extra...

Before Director Tao finished speaking, Meng Lang, who was sitting opposite him, knew that he was going to refuse.

The expected reaction!

He didn't feel nervous at all, and unhurriedly threw out his big killer: Director Tao, listen to me first! Let's not talk about the quality of Huolishaonianwang. Personally, in your opinion, the first round of this movie will be broadcast exclusively. How much is it worth?

this……

Director Tao had seen a lot of TV people, but he had never seen a producer who talked about cooperation like Meng Lang.

Shouldn’t the producer offer a quotation, the TV station disagrees with the price, the negotiation between the two parties is like bargaining in a vegetable market, and you come and go, and finally come up with a perfect solution?

Asking the TV station to bid is simply a joke. If possible, the TV station would like to get the broadcasting rights for free.

But you can know this kind of thing with your ass, and the producer will definitely not agree.

Although Huolishaonianwang was verbally rejected, this is a conclusion based on the normal purchase cost. If the broadcasting rights can be purchased at a low price, Director Tao will naturally not reject Huolishaonianwang.

So, he raised a finger very cautiously!

100,000 for a single episode?

No! 10,000!

rash:……

Although I knew this movie was bad, but the production cost was five million. Meng Lang was ready to license it for free, but he still wanted to know how much the film would sell for if it followed the normal route of selling rights.

Unexpectedly, there are only 10,000 episodes...

If the 40-episode Huolishaonianwang is sold at this price, will it not be a loss?

Even if there are profits from the second round of broadcasting rights and exclusive network broadcasting rights later, it will not make up for it!

Sure enough, it is unrealistic to want to sell broadcasting rights to make money.

Director Tao probably saw that Meng Lang was an outsider and didn't understand the market, so he explained to him: Xiao Meng! Is it okay for me to call you that?

No! Director Tao, please speak directly!

Let me tell you, your Huolishaonianwang is honestly too rough in production. Although we are a children's channel, the purchase requirements are not low. The premium price will definitely not be sold, and the normal price is only 10,000 yuan. It's left or right. Director Tao said earnestly, but Meng Lang shook his head when he heard it.

Is this really fooling him as a layman?

It's normal price, is it really a joke that he filmed so many dramas in his previous life?

Meng Lang has learned about the development of film and television in this time and space, and the path is basically the same. Perhaps because of the crackdown on piracy, the film and television industry in this world has developed a little better.

Both timelines are the same, both around 2014 in the original world.

It's 2014! Still at this price?

Regardless of whether it is this time and space or the original time and space, how can there be such a normal price?

Leaving aside, according to the information Meng Lang learned. In 2012, the blockbuster The Legend of Zhen Huan aired on Star, the TV station sold an astonishing 1.9 million single episode in the first round! The network exclusive rights were also sold at a price of 300,000 for a single episode.

The 14-year hit Legend of Wu Mei Niang, the TV station's first-round broadcast rights are 2.5 million for a single episode, and the network exclusive broadcast rights are 1 million for a single episode!

Of course, Huolishaonianwang has nothing to compare with these hits. There are no big names, no announcements, or even sophisticated production standards.

But when a blockbuster sells the broadcasting rights, who knows that it is a blockbuster? Everyone is just optimistic about the ratings prospects of this drama.

It's all betting on the ratings, so why does Huolishaonianwang have to shrink by 200 times?

call!

Taking a deep breath, Meng Lang suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said happily, What if I authorized you to play Huolishaonianwang for free?

What?!

Director Tao was stunned, and even suspected that he had an auditory hallucination.

Did you hear me right? free!

Is this something the producers can do?

Why did you invest so much money in making a TV series just to give it away for free without expecting anything in return?

Yes! You heard that right! Free!

Seeing that the old fox was finally calmed down by him, a smile appeared on Meng Lang's face: The first round of broadcasting rights! Free! But it's not the exclusive broadcasting rights! Director Tao, you don't have any objections to this, do you?

No, no, no! Director Tao shook his head again and again, and asked blankly as if possessed by an evil spirit: It's easy to say whether it's exclusive or not, but I just can't figure it out. What are you trying to do?

How could there be a pie in the sky?

Either it's poisonous, or it's a trial version of the pie that the pie shop puts out on a long line to catch big fish.

Director Tao eagerly wanted to know what plans meng lang had in his mind.

If it's really unconditional and free, it's okay to say, but if there are any additional conditions, then get out as soon as possible.

Over the years, it's not that Director Tao has never seen a shrewd producer who wants to take away the golden advertising space of their channel for a year under the banner of free broadcasting rights.

Having become a good doctor after a long illness, Director Tao is now immune to the word free. Although he is shocked, he will not lose his composure.

Toys of course!

Seeing that Director Tao hadn't understood yet, Meng Lang coughed and said, Then what... Director Tao, have you watched The Huolishaonianwang, right?

I've seen it a bit...you came before I had time to finish it. Director Tao nodded.

Then you should understand that this show is mainly to promote yo-yos, right?

Yoyo? Oh yes! It's this one!

Director Tao slapped his forehead, and suddenly realized: I understand! Your film is mainly for selling derivative products to make money!

Yes! It's derivatives!

Selling broadcast rights or something, there is no way to make huge profits selling yo-yos.

A Firepower Silver Power! With a gaudy packaging box, the yo-yo of the same name used by Li Fei, the protagonist of Huolishaonianwang, what do you think is the appropriate price?

10 yuan?

Give me a break! That is the cost price!

Like this kind of yo-yo, with the patent in hand, and there is no trouble of pirated and fake products, it will have to sell for fifty or sixty, right?

Too expensive?

It's right to think it's expensive!

People who think it's expensive usually spend their own money. This kind of person is not Meng Lang's target customer at first glance.

Who is his target customer?

Of course, those children who don’t spend their own money and don’t feel bad!

For children, is there a difference between fifty yuan and five yuan? Anyway, parents pay for it.
