As the video market booms and copyright becomes more severe, larger TV stations have established "Copyright Management Centers" to take charge of related matters.
"80,000 per episode is still more? We are a hit drama, with the highest ratings in the country at the same time, with a peak of over 300 million!"
"You can ask around. Which young person doesn't know "Let's Watch the Flowing Rain"? Chu Yuxun, Murong Yunhai, Shangguan Ruiqian!"
"Oh, okay, okay, 70,000 per episode, how about 70,000?"
"You also know that it was a few years ago. A few years ago, the total price of "Wulin Gaiden" was only 100,000. It is different now! Okay, okay, you can think about it again."
The director suddenly hung up the phone and cursed: "Enría interrupted me and bought some shit! I'll kill you!"
The center has less than 10 people in total and it is a small department. An employee asked: "How much do they charge?"
"Twenty thousand an episode!"
"Wow, that's too stingy. I thought it was before, but now the price has increased."
Yu Zheng picked up the phone and went out.
Because he is good at combining various well-honed idol drama routines, and he can also come up with new ideas, which is also his ability - of course, that person will not comment on it.
"Oh, how could that happen?"
"Oh, sorry, let me take a call!"
The employee was anxious, but he had always been used to it, so he blurted out: "You have to think clearly, you are offending 99!"
Before Yao Yuan launched genuine movies, 20,000 yuan could buy a TV series.
The staff felt a chill, what a girl.
"Um?"
"Good thing!"
Currently, there are two companies that buy copyrights from TV stations, one is a video website, and the other is a copyright distribution business.
The director coughed again in time and said: "Okay, just know it, don't yell around."
The room suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere was subtle. The person asking the question was a new employee. When he saw something was wrong, he asked carefully: "Did I say something wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang.
"But we haven't signed a contract. If we don't sign it, it has no legal significance. I can also tell you that the other party is offering 80,000 yuan per episode. Do you want to report it and discuss it?"
"What happened next?"
Beijing, Yu Zheng Studio.
When it came to the national finals, our dominance clause was suddenly revealed, and the media surrounded us, calling it a "supergirl defense war." The team had no choice but to give the contestants some breathing space, but this time it was because of their soft-heartedness that it led to a big mistake!
At this time, 99 took the initiative to come to our door, sponsored us as a title sponsor, and even helped us canvass votes online. Oh my, Taili was so moved and regarded him as an old friend of the Hunan people.
"..."
Someone else was taking a sip of melon seeds, and the young lady was spitting: "I thought it was a media company in the capital, but we checked and found out that it was 99 behind the scenes!"
The room became very quiet again, and the atmosphere was subtle.
"The only option is to sell Youku. At least they sell it for 50,000 yuan."
The director laughed happily, took a sip of water, and continued to laugh: "Finally, I don't have to endure those wealthy people. This time it's a big deal, a big deal!"
"99 is far away in Beijing and has extensive connections, so there is nothing we can do about it. In recent years, video websites have become popular, and we have had some interactions. The station has issued an order that we will not sell their copyrights even if we lose money."
"..."
The director picked it up and listened to a few words. His expression suddenly changed and he said, "This is a big deal. It's best for you to come over and talk about it face to face. Okay, okay!"
"Ahem!"
In just 2-3 years, the price has increased from 5,000 to 10,000 per episode, and now it is normal for a single episode to exceed 10,000.
"Ahem!"
"After the competition, we were supposed to sign a contract, but you old fool! Liu Xijun and Huang Ling were suddenly stopped by a small and broken company."
"But they are rich, and one is more generous than the other."
After hanging up the phone, everyone asked what happened?
"Beauty's Scheming", starring Lin Xinru, Yang Mi, Wang Likun, He Shengming, etc., 40 episodes. Mai Li offered 50,000 yuan per episode, with a total price of 2 million, and exclusive copyright for 10 years.
Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, and Zhang Jingying are the top three, but you are an old fool! Zhou Bichang refused to sign, and Li Yuchun and Zhang Jingying were intercepted again!
"No, I don't dare to offend you, but the other party has a big background! It's better for you to determine the price, it's hard for me to do it."
"Listen to me. At that time, Taiwan thought the contract was not perfect. When the second term was held in 2005, the contract terms were strengthened. Anyone who entered the top 10 in the region must sign the contract."
Everyone knew the inside story, but it was as if they were hearing it for the first time. Everyone pricked up their ears. The lady said: "You must know "Super Girl". We held the first edition in 2004. We were testing the waters at that time. It didn't matter whether it was up or down."
Confidence and no sponsors.”
"No."
Alas!
The new employee was timid, so he asked the lady next to him, "Sister, tell me, do you have a story?"
oops……
The effect is really good, An Youqi, Liu Xijun, Zhang Hanyun and Huang Ling are the top four.
"Let me tell you this, if someone offers a higher price than you, our small business still has to consider it."
The director coughed twice and drank tea without saying a word.
"Damn 99 has taken away the fruits of victory for two consecutive years. The sinners of the revolution and the enemies of Taiwan. We are incompatible with each other!"
"Sohu is also available, the price is about the same."
"Our business has just started, so it is inevitable that we will have some bumps in the road. In fact, Taiwan is also waiting and watching. We may establish a video platform in the future. Then we will be important."
In the office at this moment, an employee from Maili Video's film purchasing department was preparing to sign a contract with him.
Yu Zheng had nothing to say, and was about to sign the contract, saying, "Let me tell you, this drama is incredible. It's so handsome, so beautiful, and the good guys are so handsome and beautiful. It's so fascinating to those kids."
"Yes, that's how it should be! Then have you bought our copyright?"
At this time, someone said: "Hey, why don't you buy wheat grains? If you have money, they can take the initiative to sell it!"
"..."
Yu Zheng has a very good vision and is extremely keen on the market. If he judges that a certain type of drama can be popular, he will assemble a team as quickly as possible to make a drama.
Yu Zheng did not graduate from the theater troupe. He first started working as a screenwriter with Hong Kong director Li Huimin. Later, he went out to work alone and slowly worked his way up to where he is today.
The new employees are more well-planned and well-planned, and they are full of praise.
"That's too much. Who did it?"
"This is the first time we have reached an agreement, and we will keep in touch with each other in the future. I have always admired him, and I will pay him a visit when I have the opportunity."
The new employees were very excited after hearing this. It turns out that there is such a ***, oh no, such a miserable experience in the station!
"There are so many stories, and I will tell you this time, don't do it again in the future."
"Yes, the second session of 99 worked even harder. They spent money to help us publicize and win votes. Oops, the people in the station were very moved again."
"Isn't this great?"
…………
"We haven't already agreed, so what do you mean by going back on your word now?"
He is best at two things: seizing the market and sewing up monsters.
Why is it called a stitch monster?
The new employees are filled with indignation.
About five minutes later, he came back with an apology on his face: "I'm so sorry, I'm afraid we haven't been able to sign the contract for a while."
