Chapter 449: The sky-high price of the premiere rights of Xingxing, and the accident at the premiere
In the end, the show was acquired by Blueberry Channel for a whopping price of 2.6 million per episode.
This sky-high first broadcast right is the only one in the TV industry.
Perhaps other TV series, after several rounds of sales, have a higher price per episode than this overall, but in terms of the price of the first-round broadcast rights alone, it is unmatched.
But this is only the first round of broadcasting rights. There is no need to talk about the second round of broadcasting rights now. Everyone is ready to wait and see. Even Mango Channel gave up in the end, not having the courage of Blueberry Channel.
Wu Hu met with the person in charge of purchasing dramas from Blueberry Channel, who invited him to be a mentor for the Good Voice program. It turned out that they had bought the copyright of The Voice and wanted to create a local Good Voice program. The first season of this year
Of the four mentors, the other party wants Wu Hu to participate. If Wu Hu is willing, then look for Milk Cha Lun.
With these two joining the show, this show will definitely be half successful.
Wu Hu shook his head and said: "Thank you for your kindness. It's not that I don't want to, but I feel that my qualifications are still young and it's still early for me to be a mentor."
The other party wanted to compliment Wu Hu, but as soon as he said, "Mr. Wu's words are wrong," Wu Hu raised his hand and interrupted, "In addition, I have an agreement with Starry Sky Film and Television, and I have to participate in this year's "Celebrity Wilderness Survival Show."
The time should coincide with your program."
After hearing this reason, the other party became silent. After all, the agreement between Wu Hu and Starry Sky Films was exposed to the media last year.
But the other party still wanted to struggle, "With Mr. Wu's current popularity, there is no need to go to this show anymore! I used to go to this show to take advantage of the show's popularity. If you go now, it's because this show is taking advantage of your popularity."
Already."
"People cannot stand without trust. Since I promised before, it would not be good to refuse now."
As for the 20 million liquidated damages, Wu Hu could afford it, but it was not necessary.
Wu Hu smiled and said: "I don't know what mentors you have, but I can give you one or two suggestions, such as Big Brother Yun Xiheng, Brother Lun, and Brother Liu Huanhuan. These three can be considered powerful. Yun
Brother Huan is considered a senior in the pop music genre, Brother Huan is considered a senior in the academic world, and Brother Lung has a unique style and is still top-notch today. If you pick any one of them, they are enough to occupy the position of mentor."
"Then, is there another quota?"
Wu Hu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Don't you have any candidates?"
"Yes, there are, but compared with the people you mentioned, they are not up to par."
Wu Hu said with a smile: "If you want to do it, you have to do it to the best. If the instructor's level is too low, it will lower the level of this program. If you can really invite these three people, then the last one should go to Xiangjiang."
It’s better to find female mentors, so that they can be found on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, and they won’t be criticized by fans in those areas, and it will be easier to sell the broadcast rights later.”
Wu Hu's kind-hearted suggestion made the other party leave with regret and gratitude.
In fact, the first person they thought of as a mentor was Wu Hu. Because Wu Hu's popularity is very scary, as long as he is willing to participate, this program will not be afraid of losing popularity. And they thought of Wu Hu, the spicy eagle who is a bit contradictory to Wu Hu
, they were excluded.
Poor spicy eagle, if he knew about this, he would probably hate Wu Hu to death when he sees how popular the show The Voice is in the future.
'Stars' first broadcast rights were won by Blueberry Channel, and Blueberry Channel began advertising the show on TV in turn. Wu Hu also brought the second female lead of the crew, who is Yahuazi's best friend Changchang, and the second male lead
Yuan Hong and other main creators appeared on Blueberry Channel's program.
The host was Sister Nan. Originally, Blueberry Channel wanted Hua Shao to come, but Wu Hu felt that Sister Nan was more familiar with her, so he went to her show.
The first version of the trailer, coupled with the theme song "My Destiny", immediately attracted countless young idol drama lovers.
When Yahuako in the trailer showed her saucy side, many of her fans couldn't help but be a little stunned, because they seemed to have never seen Yahuako like this before.
The nice melody, Yahuazi's performance was different from previous performances, and Wu Hu's cool appearance immediately aroused the expectations of many fans.
A few days passed by, and on the 11th, Wu Hu dressed up to attend the premiere of "The Thirteen Beauties". They only invited Yahuazi, but not Tietie. Yahuazi was not available, so Wu Hu could only do it alone.
Went alone.
After simply walking off the red carpet, which attracted a wave of screams from fans and crazy photos from entertainment reporters, Wu Hu entered the auditorium.
Then he saw Zhang Guoshi, who looked a little gloomy but was forcing a smile.
Seeing Wu Hu coming, Master Zhang stood up to greet him, "Fat Hu, thank you very much for coming!"
"When my movie "New World" was released at the beginning of the year, I heard Director Zhang praise me. It would be inappropriate not to come today. Besides, I have been looking forward to Director Zhang's new movie for a long time."
Wu Hu shook hands with Lao Zhang as he spoke, and in the end he pretended not to know anything and said with a smile: "Director Zhang's face looks a little haggard, and he feels a little overworked! Don't worry! Director Zhang's new play,
It will definitely be the box office champion this year.”
"Then I'll lend you some good advice!" Zhang Jiji smiled with his face full of wrinkles, but no matter how he looked at it, it looked like he was forcing a smile.
When another Zhang laughed and walked towards Wu Hu, looking familiar and welcoming Wu Hu, Zhang Guoshi said sorry and directly gave up his seat to the other Zhang.
Seeing this scene, Wu Hu knew that those little broken melons that grew on them in another time and space would still inevitably grow in this time and space.
While he was dealing with Zhang Weiping, who felt good about himself, Wu Hu's eyes were attracted by a figure wearing a cheongsam.
However, this figure only flashed and walked directly into the backstage.
Wu Hu knew who she was, but he couldn't help but take a second look at her back.
After that, Wu Hu also saw Lao Wan from Star Film and Television, Sishan Diao from Zhongying, and the heads or representatives of several other major theater chains.
Stars include Tong Dawei, Cao Kefan, and the Hollywood star Bale, etc.
Seeing Wu Hu appear, Cao Kefan immediately greeted him. Wu Hu had appeared on his show in Haicheng, so the two of them knew each other.
After shaking hands with Wu Hu, he directly invited Wu Hu, "Mr. Wu, I wonder if you have any schedule? We are going to produce a food show."
Hearing this, Wu Hu's mind immediately thought of 'Nine Transformations of the Large Intestine'.
When he tasted the Nine Rot Large Intestine on the show, he had not thought about it. When he saw the person in person, Wu Hu suddenly thought that too much time had passed after all.
Now when he listened to his food show, Wu Hu could already imagine what kind of inhuman revenge this guy, Li Zongsheng, and another famous chef would suffer on the show.
You can't go to this show! If you accidentally offend that little fat guy during the show, you will have to be fed by him accidentally.
Wu Hu wanted to remind this guy, but after thinking about it, he decided to let it go. If these guys weren't so vicious, they wouldn't retaliate against them. Everything was brought about by themselves.
Wu Hu shook his head, "I'm very sorry, there is really no schedule!"
At this time, Lao Wan came over and said, "Fat Hu, congratulations! I heard that your movie "The Star" sold for more than two million, which is incredible!" As he said that, he gave Wu Hu a thumbs up.
Wu Hu shook hands with the other person and said with a smile: "Don't be envious, otherwise when the time comes, 'Ghost, this drama will make you feel heartbroken.'"
When Lao Wan heard this, he was immediately speechless.
Because "Xingxing" can be broadcast on stars, the price of the first broadcast rights is very high.
Only one first-broadcasting right was sold, allowing New World Media to recoup its costs.
Thirty episodes, each episode costs 2.6 million, totaling 78 million. Including the income from advertising placement, the total is more than 130 million. An investment of 100 million makes a profit of 30 million.
And this is only the first round of broadcast rights, there are also second rounds, third rounds, as well as online rights and overseas rights, etc. Based on Wu Hu's popularity in Asia, I conservatively estimate, "Xingxing, this drama can at least give the new world
The media brought in profits of 1.5 billion.
But what about 'Ghosts'? It cannot be broadcast on star broadcasts, and the first broadcast rights are definitely not very valuable. Haicheng Satellite TV has investment, and selling to them will definitely not be too expensive. We can only hope to sell a few more local stations, and then network rights and overseas rights
income.
If Wu Hu hadn't dared to vote in the first place, they wouldn't have dared to follow up easily.
However, when I think about the insane amount of advertising placed on this drama, the investment cost is actually not that high. The 40 million investment can be easily recouped given Wu Hu’s popularity.
Thinking of this, Lao Wan's mood improved a lot. Just make as little as you can! As long as you make some money, it's mainly because you can tie yourself more tightly to Wu Hu, the cash cow.
Lao Wan smiled, looked at Cao Kefan, and said: "Pang Hu is a very busy man. In addition to filming movies and TV series, he also has to participate in the "Celebrity Wilderness Survival Show" program this year!"
Seeing that Zhang Weiping was not around Wu Hu, Zhang Guoshi brought Bell over again and introduced Bell to Wu Hu. He said with a smile: "I heard from Third Master that your movie "Now You See Me" has another male lead.
We haven't settled yet, what do you think of our Bell? His acting skills are absolutely passable!" It can be seen that Zhang Guoshi has great respect for their leading actor.
Wu Hu looked at this man, shook hands with him, nodded and said: "It's really good!" At least from the appearance point of view, it feels more suitable than the Hulk. And this guy's acting skills have also been recognized.
It has won many awards in Europe and the United States.
In addition, this guy also acted in another movie about magic, "The Prestige".
But in this time and space, this movie is no longer adapted by the Nolan brothers, because there are no Nolan brothers in this time and space.
Seeing Wu Hu looking at him up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, Bell couldn't help but froze for a moment and laughed. Originally, he thought Zhang Guoshi was just joking with him, but he didn't expect that the other party actually took it seriously, as if he was really thinking about it.
Same.
"Do you still remember the magic tricks you learned in "Deadly Magic"?"
Bell smiled and said: "I still remember some simple ones!"
"Perhaps I can recommend you to Columbia. They are selecting the actors in Hollywood. I can't intervene directly, lest it affect our cooperation."
"That's it. Thank you very much, Tiger Wu!"
Bell held Wu Hu's hand with gratitude on his face. In front of Wu Hu, he naturally would not put on airs like some other silly Westerners.
He is very aware of Wu Hu's popularity, especially in Asia, which is very scary.
What's even more frightening is that this guy is not a simple actor or singer. He has his own company, an independent production team, and has very close relationships with some powerful figures in the film and television industry. It is not a wise move to offend such a person.
After chatting with him for a few words, Wu Hu met a reasonable but unexpected person. This person was none other than Accountant Jia, the boss of Revision.
Wu Hu knew that Zhang Guoshi would join Heat Vision Films next year, but what he didn't expect was that this guy actually regarded him as a target. After running over to greet him, he started to lie to Wu Hu about his Heat Vision ecology.
opposite.
I have to say that this set of theories is indeed quite bluffing. After all, the layout involving various industries is indeed the company's diversified development route.
Penguin's strategic layout is like this, but Penguin's pace is not as big as Heat Vision. Accountant Jia was too ambitious, acted too hastily, took too big a step, and finally lost his temper. If he could play it steady...
...It doesn’t seem to work. After all, this is what he relies on to deceive people. If he does it too slowly, who will believe his theory?
While Wu Hu listened to his talk, he walked towards the sitting mountain eagle that had not moved from its nest since sitting down, and said: "Mr. Jia, I have something to do now. Let's talk when we have time."
With that said, Wu Hu sat down next to the mountain eagle and asked him in a low voice: "Do you agree with the Bell recommended by Director Zhang?"
Zuoshandiao shook his head and said: "I didn't agree, so I passed him to you. And you have the final say on the actors in this movie. What do you think of him?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Accountant Jia, who was thrown aside by Wu Hu.
Accountant Jia smiled and went to look for other targets.
Wu Hu nodded and said: "It's okay! He has filmed another magic-type movie, and then played the role of Captain Fu Di. Some viewers who have watched that movie may doubt him because of this, and the mystery will be revealed in the end.
When the time comes, it won’t appear too abrupt.”
"It's okay if you think it's okay! You are the producer, I only care about the results. As long as you can create this film with the quality of "New World", I have no objection. The principle I pursue is to leave professional matters to
Let the professionals do it.”
"What if we accidentally screw up like "Red Cliff" and "The Promise"?"
Sitting on the mountain eagle suddenly became furious, "You kid, are you just trying to make me angry?"
"No, I just want to remind you." Wu Hu smiled and coughed lightly, "No one can be 100% sure that his movie will definitely make money. What I can do is to present what I think is the best picture.
Everyone, whether you accept it or not is up to the audience."
"Have you never thought about becoming a director?"
"No, I like to shine in front of the stage." Wu Hu shook his head, "I'm so handsome, but hiding behind the scenes wouldn't be a waste of resources!"
"Did anyone tell you that you deserve a beating for your stinky look?" Sitting Mountain Eagle said with a smile. "Yes, and there are many of them, but they can't beat me."
The mountain eagle laughed and shook his head, and finally glanced at Accountant Jia who was talking to others, "You don't seem to be too interested in his theory. Do you have a problem?"
Wu Hu shook his head, "His achievements are obvious to all. If there is a problem, it can't be mentioned. I just feel that his steps are a bit too big, and I'm afraid he might get caught easily!"
The mountain eagle was stunned for a moment, then laughed again.
While the two were chatting, the premiere began.
Some pictures were played on the big screen, introducing the background of "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling".
Then the lights dimmed, and several figures wearing cheongsam gradually appeared on the stage.
The actors who played Thirteen Hairpins all appeared in front of the audience.
During this period, the lead actor Nini also showed off some English on the stage. She communicated with the lead actor Bell in English throughout the whole process, and acted as the other party's translator. She spoke English really well, and she didn't feel any stage fright on stage. She was worthy of being a broadcaster.
Professional background.
Afterwards, Zhang Guoshi came on stage and began to talk about the process of filming this drama, some difficulties they encountered during the process, etc., and also thanked the original author of this drama.
Afterwards, all the main creative staff came on stage to thank everyone.
Wu Hu was sitting in the audience, ready to watch the blockbuster for a while. But at this time, the producer Zhang Weiping actually came out and said that the background of this movie was very similar to the background of Wu Hu's song "Red Ling".
One is a prostitute, the other is an actor, they are both earth-like characters, which fits the lyrics of the phrase "I dare not forget my country because of my humble position."
Then I hope Wu Hu can come on stage to sing a song.
As soon as this suggestion was made, the scene suddenly burst into cheers. As a result, Zhang Guoshi's face on the stage turned green. This guy, who do you think you are?
Wu Hu in the audience also had a dark face. The other party was setting him on fire!
But Wu Hu felt that he was thick-skinned, so let him be roasted by the fire! He smiled in return and just sat under the stage without moving. The sitting mountain eagle and Lao Wan next to him quietly poked and creaked at him, but it was useless.
