Locked by my childhood sweetheart's junior

Here comes the wolf.

This is the common aspiration of all the producers of programs and TV dramas broadcast during the Spring Festival this year.

They didn't expect that this feature film, which was not valued by anyone and was not generally favored by the industry, finally proved its worth at this time.

"Probably just an isolated phenomenon, and the popularity will disappear after a few days. A historical drama, without big-name stars, and without high-cost special effects, can't compare with popular IP dramas. The online dramas we make are broadcast once a day. Great Summer I just bought sailors during the premiere and let them dance for two days, nothing to worry about."

Many producers and directors have made such promises with their investors, but the situation is not what they expected. On the second day, the number of broadcasts of Daxia has reached 100 million, the top ten most searched on Weibo, and the big V They have been recommended for reprinting.On the third day, the number of views of Daxia reached 150 million, and the bullet screen has been cleared, but the video will still be blocked by a large number of bullet screens to explode/explode.On the fourth day, Apple TV urgently adjusted the homepage of its software, putting "Great Xia Empire" in the most prominent position, and other major video apps also made a push for "Great Xia Empire"...

"It was recommended by a friend. I haven't watched enough. There is only one episode. How can this be unbearable. There are still three days to wait for the next episode."

"The protagonist is a little familiar, but I can't remember the name. I recognize Ji Chen's actor in this drama. The others are either old actors who have been unknown in the circle, or newcomers who have never seen them, but their acting skills are quite good."

"I heard that the producer is Ji Chen's Best Actor. No wonder the style is so serious. Looking forward to the next episode, the director is not kind, and he doesn't even release a trailer. Sincerity makes us anxious."

"I heard that there will be a climax in the next episode, but I don't know if it's true."

"Let's not talk about the next episode, the first episode has a climax with ups and downs, and people can't stop watching it."

If it was said that the first day of the premiere, most of the people who came to watch it were fans of Tong Muhan and Ji Chen, then the people who came to watch it now are completely ordinary audiences, some of them are history fans, some are military fans, and some of them just heard the introduction from friends Came here to see if it looks good or not. There are men and women in it, and they are also older, but when they open the video and watch it for a few minutes, they are immediately immersed in the exquisite plot of the Great Xia Empire and become loyal fans of "The Great Xia Empire" supporter.

"I have become a fan, and my daughter can't pull me away. She wants to watch those little stars sing and dance. I quit and drove her out to play."

"Hahaha, my child watched it with me. I don't know if he took the opportunity to be lazy and didn't do his homework, or he really likes Daxia. Anyway, he still discussed the plot with me after watching it. Originally, he always hated domestic production and only liked it. Those who watch American dramas can now sit down and watch them for six to ten minutes in peace, the screenwriter is amazing..."

"I don't have children, is it worth watching with a dog? It feels like six or ten minutes are fleeting. If my dog ​​didn't take me for a walk, I might still be in a trance and watch the movie from the beginning."

Looking around, such discussions abound. It has been too long since the entire entertainment industry has produced a script worthy of praise. Now most TV dramas talk about popularity and gossip, but they can't tell a logical and fascinating story. , which has to be said to be a pity.But now the rise of "Great Xia Empire" has made people see a hope: the victory of national dramas is ultimately achieved by the plot, not by the artists.

For this result, all Huaguo audiences have waited too long, but luckily they didn't miss it in the end.

Wang Xuehai had mixed feelings.

"Old Ji, Apple TV came over to renegotiate the intermediate advertising share." He called Ji Chen, "I didn't expect that my old king would be chased by advertisers one day... By the way, does Mr. Zhou know about it?" This situation? What rules does he have in mind?"

Ever since Ji Chen found out that "Big Summer" was a big hit, she felt completely at ease, eating seafood and basking in the sun at Brizel's in South America to her heart's content, and her life was quite nourishing.When Wang Xuehai called him, he was still lying on the beach chair, accepting Zhou Anyan's feeding from time to time.

"When Mr. Zhou signed the contract with Apple, I remember that it was quite superior. If the broadcast volume reached 150 million per episode, the revenue ratio would increase by 20 percentage points. If the broadcast volume did not reach 50 Wan, then the income ratio will be automatically lowered by three levels, why, Apple can't sit still, and come to you to intercede?"

"Isn't it..." Wang Xuehai was in a very good mood, and said with a smile, "I am an acquaintance with Apple TV's boss Yuan Xiao, he asked me to ask you, can you find a chance to get together and renew the contract?" Negotiate, and what he means is that such a large amount of advertising fee share is too much for him, and it would be great if you can make changes. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you think it’s okay, I’m just a messenger.”

"At the beginning, we sold one episode to Apple for 250 million yuan, and the package price of 24 episodes for the whole season was 5500 million yuan, which was barely a loss. Now that several other satellite TVs have come to buy the rights to broadcast the second round, the price has to be raised a bit...we all Instead of re-accounting with Apple TV, he came to complain to us instead, why, haven’t you taken advantage enough?” Ji Chen was lazy, but his mind was not so confused, “Tell him not to think about it, even if I agree, My son would not agree either, he is the most shrewd person, and besides, it only increases the revenue of the second layer, and the maximum is 3000 million including the advertising layer. The contract price we set was very low at the beginning, and it is easy to buy a TV series. More than this price, don't tell me that Yuan Xiao is so stingy."

"Of course, I think we can offer a higher price when the second round of broadcasting rights are ready to be sold." Wang Xuehai's entire team is also using the dividend system, and naturally hopes that this TV series will be a big hit, "Old season, in fact, this aspect You know better, tell me, how much money can our drama sell in your mind?"

Ji Chen knew that Wang Xuehai was definitely on the side with him, but sometimes those who engage in art are innocent, and if they just chat with some people for a few days, they will be simply tricked away. He already has a price in his heart, but Wang Xuehai can't say , so fight each other haha.

"Director Wang, it's useless for you to ask me. I really don't know how much Zhiheng will quote." Ji Chen insisted that he didn't know, "When do you think I ever took care of the money? I let my family help me." I figured it out, so you came to ask me the wrong person." He cleverly left the matter to Tong Muhan who was lazy at home, and he also fed Wang Xuehai a mouthful of dog food by the way.

"Or, you can go to Kevin to find out what's going on? I heard that Mr. Zhou spent the Chinese New Year with him this year. If you ask him, he must know."

"Okay, okay, then I'll go find Kevin!" Wang Xuehai didn't doubt that he was there, and hung up the phone cheerfully.

Therefore, Tong Muhan, who has been at home since the Chinese New Year, suddenly received a call from the director one day. Hearing the intention of the other party, he pondered for a moment, and then said that he would help Wang Xuehai to ask Zhou Zhiheng what he thought if he had the opportunity.

Tong Muhan didn't have any experience in such things as advertising splits, but he was not stupid, so he ran to ask his manager Lin Longquan for his opinion, "Director Wang said that "Big Summer" will re-sign a contract with Apple TV, this news is true. Is it? He told me that Apple wants to lower the revenue share and compensate us for other things. I don’t know what Zhou Shao means here..."

"Why do you meddle in this matter, let Zhou Shao discuss it." Lin Longquan frowned when he heard this, "You just need to make a good movie, and don't care how much the other party spent on the TV series, anyway, your salary has already been paid. No matter how high someone sells it, it won’t affect you.”

"Brother Lin, this doesn't mean that it doesn't affect me. After all, the higher the price of the TV series, the more or less it has something to do with my future worth." Tong Muhan also has a scale in his heart, the boss of Apple TV can persuade Wang Xuehai When he came to inquire about the news, he might not be able to collect some information from Wang Xuehai. He thought about Wang Dao's words. "I reckon Yuan Xiao is planning to cut the advertisement in half, or re-sign the contract with Zhou Shao in the form of a buyout. His heart is really dark. You must know that Daxia sold it to him at a price close to the cost. He originally sold it to him at a price close to the cost. I don’t pay much attention to this drama, without any push and home page, but now I want to share the cake with us, no matter what, I think we are at a loss.”

I think you are worried about your husband losing money.Lin Longquan couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"Don't worry, according to this momentum, Daxia will not only lose money, but also make a lot of money." He said with certainty to Tong Muhan, this can be seen from the year-end bonus that Lin Longquan got this year It is higher than the sum of his salary in the past few years. The Ministry of Manpower also considerately arranged many activities such as foreign travel and paid vacation. Various benefits are very generous. I heard that even a few intern assistants also sent I got a thick red envelope, isn't this a big profit or something?

"You have so many questions, why don't you ask Young Master Zhou?" He finally suggested to Tong Muhan considerately, "As a decision maker, he must be able to see clearly than us bystanders. Think about it, what a smart young master Zhou is." Man, he won't be fooled by Yuan Xiao casually."

Tong Muhan actually wanted to ask about Zhou Zhiheng's situation, but he was afraid that he would make people laugh if he didn't understand the facts, so he didn't tell Zhou Zhiheng that Wang Xuehai had approached him for the time being. A generous gift, a $[-] luxury watch set with various fine diamonds on the dial.

The watch was delivered by Yuan Xiaopai's own assistant. The other party's tone was full of sincerity and his attitude was respectful. Tong Muhan didn't want to accept such an expensive gift at first, but that person acted like he wouldn't refuse and would not leave if he didn't accept it. Tong Muhan had no choice but to accept it. Leave things behind temporarily and invite the other party away.

Let Zhou Zhiheng find a way to return the things later, he thought.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhiheng smiled when he saw it, "Hehe, so I came to you to intercede."

Tong Muhan asked him, "You really want to re-sign the advertising contract?"

Zhou Zhiheng said, "With this in mind, I originally signed a gambling agreement with Apple TV. The more broadcasts in Daxia, the more beneficial it is for me. On the contrary, if the ratings of Daxia are low, then I won't make money for him." A penny." He smiled, "Yuan Xiao probably didn't expect that Da Xia's crew would be so competitive, and they could make Da Xia's audience reach millions. According to the contract, he will pay me at least eight figures for advertising fees , and counting the original purchase of the TV series, the total is probably more than 1 million. This amount of money is not a small amount, and he is definitely not happy."

"Then he asked to re-sign the contract, isn't it a bit immoral?"

Zhou Zhiheng put his finger on his lips and let out a sigh, "Well, very few people would ask for the contract to be renewed as appropriate, but as a human being, we should keep a line so that we can meet each other in the future. It's not that we can't agree to him trying so hard to please you."
