On the way to kindergarten, an unfamiliar number called Hu Shuo's cell phone.
Since he was driving and it might be a harassing call, Hu Shuo did not answer it. However, the caller was very persistent and did not answer the call once, then called a second time.
Seeing this, Hu Shuo had no choice but to turn on the car's Bluetooth function and remove the answer button.
Hello, is this Mr. Hu from Chuangshi Entertainment?
The voice that came over the phone was a female voice, which sounded like she was still young.
I am, who are you? Hu Shuo responded politely.
Oh, I am Chen Lingyi, director of the content department of Jiangcheng TV. The other party introduced herself and then continued: Please don’t blame your subordinates. She only informed me of your contact information at my strong request.
Obviously, Chen Lingyi should be talking about Wang Muchuan.
How could it be? Hu Shuo smiled: Mr. Chen is actually condescending to call me like this.
Hu Shuo's words are not a compliment. Jiangcheng TV is considered one of the first-tier TV stations in China, and the director of the content department is a powerful executive of the TV station. In terms of status in the TV station, Hu Shuo, the owner of a small workshop, is simply incomparable to others.
Mr. Hu was polite, and there was nothing condescending to say. The supply and demand parties should be equal. Chen Lingyi's words were very beautiful, and then he said straight to the point: Mr. Hu must have guessed the purpose of my call. Manager Wang Muxuan has just explained the situation to me.
It is said that you are not considering selling the satellite TV broadcast rights of "Love Apartment" for the time being. The reason seems to be the price factor. Then, I would like to ask Mr. Hu, what is your psychological price?
Chen Lingyi didn't mess around at all, but went straight to the point.
Hearing this, Hu Shuo pondered for a moment and replied: My psychological price is probably unacceptable to Mr. Chen.
But it doesn’t matter.
2 million episodes. Hu Shuodao.
After hearing this quotation, Chen Lingyi was silent for a moment and said: This is indeed very high.
So, we probably don’t have anything to talk about. Hu Shuo smiled. In fact, he didn’t even want to sell an episode worth 2 million. A drama like "Love Apartment" is a drama that can be broadcast repeatedly but not bad. In another time and space, since
After it came out, the replay rate has been ranked in the top ten every year. However, the ratings can still beat some first-run dramas.
The reason why Hu Shuo offered this price is that in addition to the huge benefits that the "Love Apartment" star can bring to the company, the TV station can also buy out the TV station in one time and get a sum of money quickly. Currently, Hu Shuo has a plan in mind.
A lot, but the funds are very limited. Whether it is a share of the song writing, "Love Fair"
Regardless of the gambling agreement on "Apartment", it would be two months at the earliest to get a large amount of money back. Otherwise, when Qiu Xue asked for a song from Wang Min a few days ago, Hu Shuo would not open it.
He offered a price of 5 million because he wanted to quickly accumulate some capital so that he would not have to be tied down to develop.
For an episode of 2 million, a 20-episode "Love Apartment" will cost 40 million. With this money, the company's next project will have much more options to choose from.
Therefore, if it was necessary to buy out now, Hu Shuo would directly offer a price that he thought was acceptable. However, in Hu Shuo's view, the other party should not be able to accept it.
A brand-new, low-cost drama series based entirely on Xiang's production cost 2 million for an episode. Anyone would think that Hu Shuo is crazy.
I want to know how far the post-production of this drama is going? If I buy out this drama, can it be released during the National Day Golden Week?
Chen Lingyi did not mention the price again, but asked a question.
The production of the first eleven episodes has been completed so far, and there are still nine episodes left. If you really want to go online on November 1, it is not impossible, and we will have to work overtime if you can't. Hu Shuo said.
I want to watch the eleven episodes that have been produced. Are there any questions? Chen Lingyi said again.
This is no problem. Hu Shuo replied.
Then ask Manager Wang Muxuan to send the eleven completed episodes to my office. Now I have only seen the first two episodes. I want to make a decision on whether to buy out after watching these eleven episodes.
It can be heard from Chen Lingyi's words that she must have considered Hu Shuo's offer of 2 million per episode very seriously.
After listening to the other party's answer, Hu Shuo was quite surprised. Logically speaking, his offer should make people run away, and he might have to call himself crazy or something. However, Chen Lingyi was actually considering it seriously.
.
Of course, if it could be sold for 2 million per volume, Hu Shuo would still be willing to sell it now.
This is no problem, but as I said before, 2 million per episode is my bottom line. If Mr. Chen can really accept this price, I will ask Mu Xuan to send the film. Otherwise, it is better for both of us to save some time. Hu Shuo
He responded solemnly.
If the quality of these eleven episodes can meet my expectations, I can accept the price of 2 million. Chen Lingyi on the other end of the phone had almost no hesitation.
Okay, I'll ask Mu Xuan to send the film to Mr. Chen right away. However, Mr. Chen is probably going to get off work at this time, right?
It doesn't matter, I can wait.
That's it, Mr. Chen, goodbye.
Since Chen Lingyi said so, Hu Shuo didn't say anything more, hung up the phone and called Wang Muchuan directly.
Mr. Hu, Director Chen from Jiangcheng TV insists on your phone number, so
Wang Muxuan thought Hu Shuo was responsible for leaking his contact information, so she quickly explained after answering the phone.
It is true that my contact information should not be given to outsiders at will, but let's forget it this time. Hu Shuo replied lightly, and then ordered: Go to the editing room now and copy the content of the first eleven episodes of "Love Apartment" that have been produced.
Then it was sent to Chen Lingyi’s office at Jiangcheng TV.
Will you deliver it today? Wang Muxuan asked in surprise.
Yes, the sooner the better, she can be waiting for you in the office!
Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible.
Wang Muxuan agreed and immediately hung up the phone.
Jiangcheng TV.
The second episode of "Love Apartment" is playing on the computer on Chen Lingyi's desk. Currently, she only has samples of the first two episodes, and she has watched these two episodes three times. In fact, under normal circumstances, "Love Apartment" is
There is no need for her to review the dramas. Those that require her nod are all big productions, and only the key dramas that the station intends to purchase will be sent to her.
However, in the past year, the ratings of Golden Theater, which was once the main brand of Jiangcheng Satellite TV, have been declining significantly. There has been no blockbuster drama for more than a year. In this period of more than a year, the ratings of Jiangcheng Satellite TV's prime time dramas have even dropped from
It has not made it into the top three, which is a bit embarrassing for a first-tier TV station.
Therefore, as the newly appointed director of the content department, Chen Lingyi's first goal is to rebuild the Golden Theater, so the selection of dramas is naturally crucial. Therefore, Chen Lingyi said that all dramas sent to the content department must be
A copy of the backup was sent to her. Chen Lingyi wanted to review all the dramas personally. She didn't believe that with so many dramas to choose from every year, she couldn't choose one or two high-quality dramas.
It was with this in mind that Chen Lingyi discovered "Love Apartment" during her daily search for dramas. In fact, when she saw the introduction of this drama, she didn't have much hope. The producer was a small and silent workshop.
, the actors are all newcomers, and the only good publicity point is the cross-border cameo appearance of two great singers, Li Ziwei and Wang Min.
It seems that this is what a street drama should have. However, when Chen Lingyi watched the first episode, she was attracted by the content. How many samples have she watched these days? Chen Lingyi is also a hard-working dad.
The mistress, but unlike those second-generation rich people who just hang out and wait to die, she is actually a very hard-working second-generation rich person!
