"The ratings for the first two episodes haven't been released yet, but they should not be bad."
While looking tenderly at his wife who was still surrounded by relatives and friends, Old Zhao said casually: "Beijing Satellite TV attaches great importance to "Criminal Minds" and has invested a lot of publicity resources. In addition, those trolls hired by God these days should also
It will have some effect. Of course, it would be even worse if all your fans of the novel go to watch TV!"
"Uh...are you serious?"
Hearing this, Sun Peng was slightly startled, tilted his head and asked.
"...Okay, I also know it's impossible!"
His face darkened, Zhao Jinxiang sighed and said: "So under our strong suggestion, yesterday was a two-episode broadcast, and today is also a two-episode broadcast. In this way, those who have searched the first three episodes online should watch it tonight.
I’ll start chasing it now...after all, the Internet won’t be online until after school is over at twelve o’clock!”
It’s quite generous to release four episodes in one breath.
There are two main forms of TV dramas broadcast by Chinese TV stations. One is the traditional continuous broadcast format, where two episodes are broadcast every day, at most to make time for variety shows on weekends; the other is one or two episodes per week.
Episodes, at most three or four episodes, are only played on specific days.
The former is a true "serial" drama, while the latter is suitable for crime dramas where each episode is an independent episode.
According to the original plan, "Criminal Minds" will have two episodes a week, one episode each on Wednesday and Thursday, between 10 and 11 pm, which is really a pretty short time.
However, in order to promote this new drama, and also to allow online fans to watch the latest episode as soon as possible, Beijing Satellite TV generously released four episodes in one go! Otherwise, just based on the 2.2 million purchase price per episode
People should save money on film fees!
"As long as the ratings are good, everything will be easy!"
Rubbing his hands when he was excited, Zhao Jinxiang said in a low voice: "Coupled with the number of broadcasts on the Internet, it will be enough to attract more TV stations to buy the broadcast rights after the first round, so we don't have to worry about the cost.
You can even make a fortune.”
The filming cost of "Criminal Minds" is 4 million per episode, and Beijing TV alone spent 2.2 million!
Of course, this cost is very high. For example, the script and soundtrack that Sun Peng helped write are not included in the calculation, but are converted into the final income share. Another example is that all the protagonists are unknown actors, and the pay per episode is
It's only a few hundred thousand, etc. But because of the quality of the series, even if no well-known actors join, the purchase fee of more than two million for an episode is really not high.
Recover the cost, no problem!
After listening to his brother-in-law's words, Sun Peng shook his head and sighed: "Brother, can we stop focusing on the little things we have already obtained? The filming of the first season is almost finished, and the first episode has already been broadcast on TV. Don't you guys
Don't you want to participate in some TV shows or something and push our drama out?"
"ah?"
"Ah, what, brother, you need to have an international perspective!"
Shaking his head again, Sun Peng sighed angrily: "You haven't talked to Li Lichi? He didn't tell you that our script style is very American, and the style of filming is also very suitable for the United States."
People watch it? And this is a crime drama. There is a huge market in Europe, America, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia!"
"..."
Zhao Jinxiang opened his mouth and turned red at what his brother-in-law said.
In the past, Zhao was used to petty fights. After hearing what Sun Peng said, Lao Zhao immediately discovered that he was really a bit too stingy. Moreover, he also immediately remembered what Li Lichi once said. He was not the same as Sun Peng just now.
What?
"Hey, it feels good!"
Lao Zhao immediately began to reflect on himself, while Sun Peng snickered secretly.
Sun Peng, of course, thought about going overseas or something. After all, it was a TV series that was very popular in the United States back then. It was natural to think of counterattacking back, but that would definitely be something that would happen after it became popular at home. But now I use these words to "teach a lesson"
When he asked his brother-in-law, Sun Peng said that it was okay, there was no problem at all!
The reason why I suddenly mentioned this is because of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"!
Just a few days ago, Sunflower Publishing House notified Sun Peng that they are arranging for someone to translate the picture book "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and prepare to take it to the Children's Book Fair in Frankfurt next April. Sunflower has already connected
I have participated in the 11th session, and the variety and quantity of books exported are increasing every time. This time, I have also selected this set of picture books by Sun Peng...
"Hey, hey, what are you two grown men secretly saying?"
Just when Lao Zhao opened his mouth to say something, Lin Lin suddenly ran over excitedly.
"We are talking about you!"
Blinking his eyes, Sun Peng said seriously: "As I said, you have performed well during this period, and your acting skills in "Criminal Minds" are getting better and better."
"real?"
Lin Lin's expression was a little suspicious, as if she didn't believe Sun Peng.
“More real than platinum!”
Nodding vigorously, Sun Peng gave her a sincere face.
Compared with Lin Lin before, her acting skills have indeed improved now, and the progress is not small! And after finally turning down her brother-in-law's invitation to continue starring in "Crazy Madam", Lin Lin spent all her time taking acting classes
and pondering the role of "Criminal Minds", so although Sun Peng's words are not without ridicule, they can be regarded as the truth.
Sure enough, Lin Lin was happy all of a sudden.
Sun Peng and Lao Zhao looked at each other and smiled, and then asked: "By the way, there are only a few episodes left in the first season of "Criminal Minds", right? When will it be finished?"
"About that, two weeks at most!"
Smiling and showing her small white teeth, Lin Lin answered honestly.
It was pretty much what Sun Peng expected. He nodded and said, "What about after the filming of "Criminal Minds" is finished? What are you going to do?"
"After we finish filming... let's continue acting!"
Shrugging her shoulders, Lin Lin said with a natural face: "If there is a second season in the future, I will continue to act. If there is no season yet, I will take jobs everywhere. Anyway, with my current reputation and strength, there are many heroines.
I’m invited to go!”
"Ouch, really?"
After hearing what Lin Lin said, it was Sun Peng's turn to be surprised this time.
"It is indeed true, and there is more than one drama."
At this time, Sun Jing also came over, sat next to her younger brother and said with a smile: "But this girl has been hesitating. Firstly, the script is not very good, and secondly, she is afraid that she will not be able to play the first leading role well, which is a bit unsatisfactory.
Dare to take it."
"Oh, I'll go, what's there to be afraid of? Take it!"
Slapping the table suddenly, Sun Peng opened his eyes and shouted.
"Ah? Answer?"
Lin Lin was dumbfounded when she said this. Didn't you say that my acting skills were weak and that I couldn't be the first protagonist in a drama for the time being, so you let Qian Hong do it? Now that I have listened to you, I plan to find something wrong.
The important role was played first, so why did you tell me whether you were afraid or not and asked me to take it?
"Nonsense, of course I'll take it! The more you play, the more you can hone your acting skills!"
Of course Sun Peng couldn't guess what his cousin was thinking, so he just suggested it with a matter-of-fact expression.
Rolling her eyes, Lin Lin said angrily, "But, didn't you say before that my acting skills were still young, and playing the leading role might ruin Criminal Minds? Why has it changed again now? Don't tell me that I just acted.
After these twenty episodes, my acting skills suddenly improved by leaps and bounds, and I am qualified to play the leading role!"
"Oh, of course I can't play the protagonist of a criminal mind, but..."
With a smile, Sun Peng waved his hand and said: "Aren't these other people's dramas? What does it have to do with us? Actors have to keep performing to make progress. Why are you hesitating when you have such a good opportunity? Come on!"
Except for a very small number of geniuses, which good actor is not a performer?
"..."
When Sun Peng said this, others looked at him as if he were a monster.
As long as the co-authoring is not your own drama, your cousin can do it? Then you don’t have to worry about the risks of other investors?
With a dark face, Lin Lin said angrily: "Even if you are right, are you not afraid that my acting will ruin your reputation? Then how can you get along in the future?"
"What are you afraid of? As long as there is a good show, you can get it back."
Sun Peng's attitude was still indifferent. Which of the movie queens and movie kings in the past life had never acted in bad movies? Search their Baidu Encyclopedia and you will find many bad movies. After becoming famous, who cares? He doesn't want Lin Lin to continue to play the crazy lady.
It doesn't mean that you can't play other roles. Otherwise, when will you be able to hone your acting skills?
As for the future, as long as you have the acting skills, are you still worried that there will be no good shows?
