Chapter 010 National TV Spring Festival Gala Click!)
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" became a hit, but Wang Shang was ignored by the media, which made Wang Shang's impetuous heart begin to settle. Wang Shang felt that he had been a little proud and complacent during this period, and there were some things that he, a newcomer, could not control.
However, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" became a hit, and Wang Shang finally began to escape from poverty and entered a well-off society, and his income soared.
The agreement at that time was that Wang Shang would receive 4% of the net profit of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" as the script. Now he sells it to Suzhou Satellite TV for the first broadcast rights at a high price of 800,000 basic fees per episode plus a floating fee based on ratings points. The profit is definitely not
Small.
Even though this number seems very small, you must know that the current highest transaction record for first-line broadcast rights of several Chinese first-tier satellite TV stations is more than 500,000, and now "The Legend of Zhen Huan" directly requires a basic fee of 800,000 plus a floating fee based on the ratings.
If calculated based on a ratings of 3.0, one episode will be able to earn 1.2 million, which is 2.4 times higher than the previous maximum of 500,000, which is terrifying.
As soon as this purchase price came out, countless media and TV stations were completely shocked to the ground and fell into silence.
What's more, Wang Shangke's "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has been dragged out to eighty-four episodes, which can be called a 'Big Mac'. Of course, these eight extra episodes were added without affecting the excitement of the plot, and Wang Shang's drama was also delayed.
Will dig his own grave for a little profit.
Calculated according to this situation, the first broadcast rights alone, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will be sold for 100.8 million, which is terrifying.
Subtracting various costs, Wang Shang's income will reach more than 1.5 million when the first broadcast rights are sold. Moreover, the copyright awareness in this time and space is very strong. After selling the network copyright and replay rights several times, the income will be
Just a lot more.
However, Wang Shang cannot get the money yet, because Suzhou Satellite TV will not finalize the specific amount paid to Datang International until the final ratings are determined.
Moreover, in order to produce "Oldboy", Wang Shang already owed Datang International more than 400,000 yuan for the expenditure on equipment, staff, and actors.
Before the money was earned, Wang Shang had already started to owe a lot of debt. Only Wang Shang had such confidence and courage.
After calming down, Wang Shang went straight to the "Oldboy" post-processing studio.
"Oldboy" needs to urgently edit and dub it well during this period, and take advantage of the popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to be released to add fuel to its own fire.
However, at this time Wang Shang began to prepare for another thing.
Celebrate Spring Festival!!
The Spring Festival began in the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, with the first month of the Xia calendar (lunar calendar) as the beginning of the year. Since then, the date of the Spring Festival has been fixed and continues to this day. After the Revolution of 1911, the Gregorian calendar began to be used to calculate the year, and it was called January 1 of the Gregorian calendar.
The first day of the first lunar month is called the "Spring Festival".
The Spring Festival is the most solemn traditional festival for the Chinese people. It also symbolizes unity, prosperity and new hope for the future.
This Spring Festival is the first Spring Festival that Wang Shang has celebrated since his rebirth, so he naturally attaches great importance to it.
In this time and space, because China has not experienced ten years of turmoil, many traditions have been perfectly preserved, and the national leaders have deliberately improved the status of traditional culture, so the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival is stronger than that of another time and space.
Sweep the dust, put up Spring Festival couplets, fire crackers, receive gods, stomp on evil spirits, watch the Spring Festival Gala, stay up late, worship ancestors, and pay New Year greetings.
Although Wang Shang's family lives in Shanghai, their roots are still in a small village in Northern Hebei Province, so they have to go back to celebrate the New Year.
However, Wang Shang was used to spending a lot of money and was not used to squeezing the Spring Festival bus by himself. In addition, he did not want his parents to suffer on the road. Wang Shang, who was not worried about debts, continued to borrow 100,000 yuan from an acquaintance on the set of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and bought a house.
A simple car.
Spacious, comfortable and decent quality.
Wang Shang drove all the way with his smiling father and queen, returning home happily for the New Year.
After returning to their hometown, they wore extremely thick clothes, cleaned, posted Spring Festival couplets, killed chickens and ducks, etc. The three of them were busy and finally sorted out all the Spring Festival matters before New Year's Eve.
Although it is very busy, the Spring Festival brings joy. When countless New Year firecrackers crackle across the entire village and town, it brings strong Spring Festival greetings to the entire village and town.
After dinner, Wang Shang received the New Year's money from his father and mother.
"Rishi? I don't know how many years I haven't received one..." Holding two heavy blessings, Wang Shang's thoughts couldn't help but fly away again.
Next, the family sat on the sofa and waited for the start of a Spring Festival Gala on national television.
In this time and space, the national television Spring Festival Gala has continued to be at its peak. It has not rested on its laurels. It has always been innovative, pioneering but traditional. It is still an important entertainment item for countless families throughout China on New Year's Eve.
Just last year for the Spring Festival Gala in 2000, according to CSN's ratings statistics, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala on national television that night reached a frightening 71%, which means that the entire China, on New Year's Eve, had a ratings of 71%
Families left and right were watching the Spring Festival Gala program on national television.
As for the Spring Festival Galas of other TV stations, they have been firmly suppressed by the national TV station and cannot be performed at all. Other TV programs can only avoid the spotlight for the time being, even the extremely popular "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
The 3% ratings of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", compared with the terrifying 71% of the national TV Spring Festival Gala program, are just scum.
Wang Shang and his parents were sitting on the newly bought sofa in the hall, turning on the heater, waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to start.
The time soon reached eight o'clock, and after the host's familiar opening remarks, the Spring Festival Gala officially began.
Naturally, the royal father and queen mother looked at it with joy and joy, while Wang Shang looked at it with a comparative eye.
I have to say that this Spring Festival Gala is the most beautiful Spring Festival Gala that Wang Shang has ever seen. It is better than the Spring Festival Gala in another time and space.
For some reason, Wang Shang had an idea: "I must go there and direct once in this life, so that my life will not be wasted!"
It's like Zhang Yimou's 2008 Olympics and Feng Xiaogang's 2014 Spring Festival Gala.
However, Wang Shang, who had just started his ambition, soon thought of another problem: "Some people who despise the national TV station refused to let the sketch "The Legend of Zhen Huan" enter the Spring Festival Gala, wasting this great publicity opportunity."
It turns out that Wang Shang wanted to learn from another time and space and squeeze in a soft advertisement for "The Legend of Zhen Huan" on the national TV Spring Festival Gala. Unfortunately, the Spring Festival Gala director team did not agree, even though the program's skits were a little better than other programs.
Wang Shang didn't even think about it. The national television station just missed "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and was treated as a temporary joke by the media, which made some leaders of the national television station look bad. Naturally, they would not agree to such a soft advertisement.
Starting from the next day, according to the custom of this time and space, Wang Shang's family began to visit relatives. Wang Shang also gained a lot of money "shyly", and sometimes he couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that I am quite young."
The next night, there was no more National Television (abbreviation for National Television) Spring Festival Gala, and Suzhou Satellite TV's "The Legend of Zhen Huan" finally began to continue broadcasting.
Wang Shang's parents also like this drama now and watch it every day.
You can feel the achievements of this drama from the comments of colleagues around you. They are also very proud of their son for achieving such achievements.
During the Spring Festival, the weather is too cold. Many people stay in their own homes or other people's homes, playing mahjong, watching TV, chatting and having various entertainments. There is a strong flavor of the New Year everywhere. Many families are watching "*
*The Legend of Zhen Huan", and the plot was discussed enthusiastically.
When Wang Shang's parents visited various places, they heard many people praising this TV series, which made them both happy and proud because the screenwriter of this TV series was their son.
I remember when my son was expelled from school and everyone shouted for him to be beaten, but now, he has become the screenwriter of a TV series that is popular across the country.
However, they did not go around saying that the screenwriter of this drama was their son. The royal father and queen mother were both relatively peaceful people.
Time passed day by day. Under Wang Shang's persuasion, the king's father and queen mother resigned from their jobs because they worked hard for a year and could not make as much money as Wang Shang wrote a TV series. Wang Shang also sympathized with them for their early years.
With aging bodies, I hope they can recuperate from now on, or find a lighter job. It doesn't matter how much money they have, as long as they are happy.
I quit my job, but my father and mother have not yet decided whether to live in my hometown or in the magical city. The environment in my hometown is good, you can grow your own vegetables and climb mountains, etc., which is suitable for retirement. The environment in the magical city is average, but it can take care of the elderly.
Little Wang Shang.
The Lantern Festival passed quickly, and Wang Shang also returned to the Magic City.
