Kang Lianshun immediately went upstairs and walked straight forward. After a while, he saw a directional sign with "TV Drama Channel" written in front of him.
He put the folder under his arm, straightened his clothes, and then strode forward to the office area of the TV drama channel.
The entire office area is not big, about one hundred square meters, and several staff members are chatting, which looks a bit deserted.
"Who are you looking for?"
Seeing Kang Lianshun's arrival, a young woman with short hair came over and asked strangely: "Are you in the wrong place?"
"I'm looking for Mao Zhiyan, Director Mao." Kang Lianshun said quickly.
The young woman was even more surprised. She looked Kang Lianshun up and down and said lazily: "Our boss is receiving distinguished guests. You wait here first."
After finishing speaking, the young woman did not wait for Kang Lianshun's reaction, and went straight back to her office area, where she started chatting animatedly with a group of colleagues.
Kang Lianshun didn't pay attention, but while he was waiting, he heard the conversation between the young woman and others.
"Hey Xiaoyan, what do you think we will do if our channel is banned again? You said that you don't know what kind of life you are living every day. You are worried all day long, worried about losing your job..."
"That's right, I thought I was going to lose my job last time, but who knew that it had changed its name and changed the name of the art channel to a TV drama channel? I was shocked."
"At that time, I thought that after changing the name, the station would give our channel strong support! I was happy for a long time! But half a year has passed, and our channel is still in this dead state. Alas, if this continues, I guess, I'm afraid
It won’t be long before TV drama channels will disappear completely.”
"This is really a flash in the pan!"
"Whatever, I'll just hang out for a day. If it doesn't work out, I'll go into business. Now the industrial economy in the south is developing very fast. My cousin works there and can earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month!"
"Ten thousand or twenty thousand, is it real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. My cousin is in the electronic watch business in the south. I heard that he was planning to develop the mobile phone industry next year. I met him during the Chinese New Year last year. What a good guy, he even has two big brothers on his waist.
big."
"It's really like heaven and earth, and there are people out there. Don't look at our CCTV employees who say they are powerful, but the actual benefits and wages they receive are only two thousand yuan. What can we do with these two thousand yuan!"
"Brother Zhang, don't be ignorant of your blessings. How can I live with less than a thousand yuan a month!"
"Doing business is risky, so you need to be cautious when going overseas! It's better for our state-owned enterprises to take a look first. If the boss really can't negotiate this project, it's not too late to prepare a way out!"
When listening to these conversations, Kang Lianshun was thoughtful.
In recent years, the wave of layoffs has spread all over the country. With the policy tilt and the focus on the development of various special economic zones, many people are doing business overseas.
Ten years ago, a household worth 10,000 yuan was still a distant term, but now, there are many people who can become a household worth 10,000 yuan in a month.
No wonder these state-owned enterprise employees feel itchy.
Even Kang Lianshun, although he earns a lot of salary and dividends in Hanhai, is still quite excited when facing an income of tens of thousands a month.
However, he himself knows his situation.
In addition to making movies and writing scripts, let him do business?
It won't be long before the people who were deceived are left penniless.
At this moment, the door of an office not far away was opened.
A middle-aged man in a suit walked straight out, with impatience written on his face: "Mr. Mao, you have no sincerity in negotiating at all, and you don't even ask me, Su Chengyuan, what I'm worth in the industry, if it weren't for watching your TV series channel
It's so pitiful that I won't come to meet you at all."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Su, what are you worried about? If you have any questions, let's talk slowly. The price is easy to negotiate!"
TV drama channel director Mao Zhiyan is about 1.7 meters tall. He has a sallow face and thin muscles. He looks like a stunted teenager. But looking at him, he is at least forty years old. He is smiling ugly.
He smiled apologetically: "Hey, Mr. Su, do you think this is okay? Give me a discount on your company's TV series. During the TV series, I will give you ten minutes of advertising time every day. How about it?"
Mr. Su turned around and said contemptuously: "Mr. Mao, as a director, you should know better than me what is going on with your channel and its ratings. You only have this little traffic? Haha, don't say ten minutes, even if you give it
Is my thirty-minute commercial time useful?"
"Of course it's useful, of course it's useful. No matter how small the mosquito meat is, it's still meat!"
Mao Zhiyan said with an apologetic smile: "The most important thing is that your TV series has already been broadcast for the second time. The price you charge is too expensive. You also know that our TV series channel does not have sufficient funds..."
"That's your business."
Mr. Su became even more impatient: "If I give it to you according to your price, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving it away for free? Mr. Mao, why are you also the director of a channel under CCTV? If you don't have enough funds, wouldn't you ask for it from above?
?You want me to teach you this?"
When Mr. Su said this, his voice got louder and louder, and finally he shook off Mao Zhiyan's hand and walked straight out of the office hall.
When passing by Kang Lianshun, Mr. Su glanced at him subconsciously.
Mr. Su only felt that this man's appearance was somewhat familiar, but he didn't think of it for a while, so he just nodded symbolically and left.
"Boss, didn't the deal come to an end?"
At this time, the employees of the TV drama channel walked over one by one and asked with concern on their faces.
Mao Zhiyan glanced at them and sighed: "No, it's too expensive."
"How much is he asking for?" someone asked.
Mao Zhiyan hesitated, and finally said with an ugly face: "Well... twenty thousand."
"Twenty thousand?"
Everyone looked at each other.
The copyright for a TV series is usually paid based on the number of episodes.
At present, the copyright price for a TV series directed by a newcomer to be broadcast on a public platform for the first time is generally about one thousand yuan per episode.
After forty episodes, that’s 40,000 yuan.
Of course, after the first broadcast of the TV series is completed, transactions such as second broadcast, third broadcast, etc. of the TV series can also be carried out.
At this rate, it won't be a problem to start filming a TV series and eventually earn more than ten or two hundred thousand.
Coupled with the advertisements embedded in a TV series, etc., although the funds are recovered slowly, the overall income is quite considerable.
The price of a famous director is far more than one thousand yuan per episode.
Everything is priced based on historical performance.
The price of a director who has created a ratings that exceeds 5% and a director who has created a ratings that exceeds 1% are simply worlds apart.
If you add in the cast, the price space that can be negotiated will be much larger.
For example, the large-scale costume TV series "Dragonfly Princess" once caused a sensation at home and abroad. It was jointly created by the famous director Feng Shuren and Taiwan's number one romance screenwriter Mustard. During the broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV, the highest ratings reached 7.8%. It became popular all over the country and is almost a phenomenon.
A top-notch TV series.
The price for the second broadcast rights of this TV series is also considerable, reaching 20,000 yuan per episode.
As for the first broadcast copyright price, that is a secret.
Some said it was fifty thousand, others said it was one hundred thousand.
However, because this TV series is invested by Hunan Satellite TV and is also broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV, even if the real price is announced, compared with the actual value, the theoretical value is still somewhat reduced.
After Feng Shuren created "Dragonfly Princess" with a ratings of 7.8%, his fame has skyrocketed. His next work has been priced at 50,000 per episode before it was released.
Of course, in addition to these TV series that pay per episode, there are also some buyout TV series that are sold to broadcast platforms in a one-time package.
For example, Su Chengyuan, who had just left the TV drama channel, was planning to sell the film and television drama copyrights in one package.
Although Su Chengyuan is only the boss of a third-rate film and television company, this third-rate film and television company has also created several TV series with ratings exceeding 1%.
The TV series he wants to sell is called "Gone with the Wind". It tells the story of a pair of talented men and beautiful women who joined the military for the sake of their motherland and love during the Republic of China.
This TV series was once broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV, and its final national ratings were 0.82%, barely considered a tepid work.
After Mao Zhiyan took office, he carefully calculated the available funds in the channel and then looked for TV series to play. Unfortunately, his vision did not seem to be very good. Almost every TV series he liked was not available.
It showed in the ratings.
Recently, he fell in love with the TV series "Gone with the Wind" and immediately concluded that it was a good work that had been buried!
In order to increase the poor traffic in the channel, Mao Zhiyan went to discuss the matter with Su Chengyuan, the copyright owner of "Gone with the Wind" again and again.
Su Chengyuan naturally cannot afford to offend CCTV. If it is a comprehensive channel, no, even if it is a variety show channel or a children's channel, he cannot afford to offend it.
If he could, he would be happy to give TV series to these major channels whose ratings often break 3 or 5.
But if it's a TV drama channel, that's another story.
Anyone who knows CCTV knows that the traffic of this TV drama channel is extremely sluggish, and the ratings have been stable below 0.2% all year round.
But no matter what, this is always a channel owned by CCTV. Naturally, the boss of a small company like Su Chengyuan would not dare to offend easily.
After being invited several times, Su Chengyuan kept giving in to the price.
From the original package price of 50,000 to the current package price of 20,000, who knows what kind of psychological journey Su Chengyuan went through.
In short, the package price of 20,000 yuan is Su Chengyuan's final bottom line.
If the other party did not belong to CCTV, Su Chengyuan would have left long ago.
But what Su Chengyuan didn't know was that even if it was 20,000, today's TV drama channels couldn't afford it.
When the TV drama channel was founded, the funding approved by the station was only 200,000 yuan.
This 200,000 yuan is enough for the TV drama channel to cover an entire year.
At first, Mao Zhiyan was full of confidence. He thought that with the 200,000 yuan, he would buy some popular TV series in the market and attract some advertising investors. After one year, he would have to add a zero after the 200,000 yuan, right?
But the cruelty of reality struck him into despair.
In just four or five months, the 200,000 yuan is about to bottom out.
Today, the funds left in the financial accounts of the TV drama channel are only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
Putting aside the time cost of these four or five months, after the TV drama channel changed its name, it lost a total of 170,000 to 80,000 yuan.
This is a bit embarrassing.
After taking office, not only did he not make a penny, he even lost hundreds of thousands!
Fortunately, the channel director Li Hongzhen did not say anything about this, but even if the above did not say so, Mao Zhiyan himself went to work every day with trepidation. During meetings, compared with other channel directors who were chatting and laughing, he also seemed more and more silent.
It can be said that this time, he blocked everything.
Once you spend 20,000 yuan to buy the secondary broadcast rights of "Gone with the Wind", once the TV series has poor ratings and cannot earn advertising fees, then the days to come will definitely be a disaster for Mao Zhiyan and the entire TV series channel.
A disaster.
While everyone was sighing in sorrow, a voice came, which made Mao Zhiyan and others finally notice the presence of a stranger not far away.
"Director Mao, could you please take a moment to speak?"
Mao Zhiyan looked up and saw a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses, smiling at him.
He frowned and asked impatiently: "Who are you? What do you want from me?"——
