He was on the phone with Wang Donglai, the person in charge of drama purchasing at Chaoyang TV Station.
"Oops! Brother Wang, the exclusive online broadcast copyright of our drama was indeed sold to Youteng Video, but the TV station copyright is indeed still there! But..."
When Wang Donglai on the other end of the phone heard this, his expression turned ugly.
He had previously participated in the preview of "The Beginning".
At that time, he thought the quality was good.
At that time, Shunli Entertainment was offered 2 million per episode, but Meng Feichen refused.
But now that "The Beginning" is a big hit, the station director has decided that this drama should be bought and broadcast on stars.
With the current popularity of this drama, Chaoyang TV Station will not buy it, but some TV stations will.
So Wang Donglai called.
Then he heard Meng Feichen's but...
He knew that at this time, everyone's identities had actually been exchanged, and the initiative was no longer with him.
After all, no one would have thought that "The Beginning" would be so popular.
So he asked cooperatively: "But what?"
Meng Feichen smiled and said: "Brother Wang, the price quoted by Zhejiang Satellite TV to us is 2 million per episode!"
"Are they crazy!? This is already the second round of broadcasting? They still offer 2 million!? Is this too much money!?" Wang Donglai yelled subconsciously.
The 2 million this time is the same as the 2 million before "The Beginning" was aired.
Although the numbers are the same.
But for TV stations, the cost of purchasing dramas is many times higher.
If the previous 2 million had bought "The Beginning".
That's the premiere.
Just look at the popularity of this drama now.
The ratings at that time took off!
But the 2 million at this moment is the first time the TV station has broadcast it.
But in actual terms, it’s already the second round.
The viewing effect will definitely be greatly reduced.
But that's it.
It’s not just Chaoyang TV that wants it.
Many TV stations have given quotations to Meng Feichen.
So at this moment, Meng Feichen is really excited!
You looked down on our "The Beginning" back then, but now it's out of your reach!
at last.
Wang Donglai gritted his teeth and bought the TV premiere rights to "The Beginning" for 2.3 million per episode.
Wang Donglai finally urged that he would sign the contract tomorrow.
He is afraid of long nights and many dreams.
According to the ongoing popularity of "The Beginning", Wang Donglai has no doubt that the price he is paying at this moment is actually Meng Feichen's conscience price.
Meng Feichen smiled and hung up the phone, and then received a call from Qi Ji.
"Hello? Qi Ji, I was just about to tell you about the good results achieved by "The Beginning"! Your phone number is here! Hahaha! You are really the treasure of our company!"
Listening to Meng Feichen's laughter, Qi Ji felt that Meng Feichen on the other end of the phone might be laughing so hard: "Mr. Meng, there is something I need to communicate with you."
Meng Feichen put away his smile and said, "You say."
"Aren't many fans now urging me for updates on my Weibo? See if you can communicate with Uten Video to see if they can add updates!"
Meng Feichen muttered: "Okay! I'll go communicate with them!"
Then Meng Feichen called Dong Changchang.
Although according to the plan, Uten Video should update four episodes every week.
But Dong Changchang also knows that at this moment, after watching the eighth episode, the audience's emotions are at their highest.
I can’t wait to see what happens next.
So Dong Changchang directly agreed to this request.
…
Half an hour later, Qi Ji posted a message on Weibo.
He took a screenshot of a picture that many people urged him to update, and then wrote the following text: "Thank you everyone for urging me to update, Uten Video agreed! There will be another episode tomorrow!"
This Weibo post immediately set off a firestorm among netizens who were waiting for various second-generation videos of "The Beginning" on the Internet.
"Ahhh! Wocao! Qi Ji, you are so awesome! You can actually persuade Youteng!"
"Hahaha! Okay, okay! I'm going to open a one-year membership for Uten today!"
"Youteng did a good job this time! @ Penguin Video, have you learned it?"
"Am I the last one to know that "The Beginning" is actually written by Qi Ji?"
"You are not alone!"
"Qi Ji, why don't you send out your script yourself and show it to us! Woohoo! Even if we add another episode tomorrow, it won't quench our thirst!"
Although it's just one more episode.
But Qi Ji's action still warmed the hearts of many viewers.
After all, most actors in China are not down to earth.
The most they can do is cooperate with their team and distribute some promotional materials when their drama is aired.
Then during the finale, I posted a short essay about my role in the play, I don’t know if it was written by me.
Only Qi Ji.
This is real and truly considered for the sake of the audience.
He is really good, and when the audience needs him, he is really there.
Not only did he do it, he also got it done!
So all of a sudden, many netizens' favorability towards Qi Ji kept rising!
And just when the entire network was caught up in the excitement of adding more news.
Mu Yunxiu posted on Weibo.
She took a picture of the script of "The Beginning" and captioned it: "While you are still watching the show, I have already finished reading the script (hehe)"
"????"
"Show off, you are nakedly showing off!!"
"Damn it! Sister Xiuxiu has pretended to do this!"
"This...this...is this dog food!?"
"Humph! You two were photographed last time and you didn't give me an explanation!"
"Mu Yunxiu, I announce that we are divorced! My wife is Feng Muyu now! Please keep your distance from me, I don't want my wife to misunderstand!"
Qi Ji also commented: "Sister, please keep a low profile!"
…
The popularity of "The Beginning" has set off a nationwide craze to speculate on who the murderer is.
even.
Because Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun in the drama are so CP.
In the play, there is actually not much description of the relationship between the two people.
then.
On station B.
There are a lot of second-generation clips about the two people.
[About my roommate who suddenly had a boyfriend when he went out in the morning.]
[About my brother who didn’t come to the meeting with Party A and pretended to be in a traffic jam, blocking a younger sister.]
[Li Shiqing’s roommate: Shiqing, you just met for the first time today, are you ready to get married? 】
Each of these videos is more popular than the other.
All have millions of views.
Among them, there is one video that is the most popular.
Many of the conversations between the male and female protagonists in the play were edited into a video of the entire driving journey, and the number of views directly exceeded 10 million.
This shows that netizens are extremely hungry for this drama.

The additional update of "The Beginning" has arrived as scheduled.
