In fact, Mango Channel is very concerned about Ye Ming at this time. After all, the two are now a cooperative unit. It can be said that one loses and the other prospers. This time, Mango Channel can send Zhang Huali to negotiate, which is enough to show the importance of Mango Channel.
.
In fact, they were not so tense when negotiating. After all, there was already a framework for cooperation from above.
Moreover, Mango Channel and Huihuang Film and Television have not cooperated once or twice. This cooperation actually seems to be the beginning of a relatively ordinary cooperation.
Being able to have Zhang Huali come this time is not only to show that Mango TV attaches great importance to this matter, but also to let Zhang Huali and Ye Ming get to know each other.
After all, although Ouyang Lantern has a very good connection with Ye Ming as the top leader, no matter what, the head of Ouyang Yangming will always have to retire. In this case, considering cooperating with a young man, he needs a younger person.
The leader came to contact Ye Ming in order to establish a good relationship with him. After all, the cooperation between Mango Channel and Huihuang Film and Television is relatively seamless.
And it is beneficial to both parties. Mango Channel needs a content provider like Huihuang Film and Television, and Huihuang Film and Television also needs a relatively large broadcast platform like Mango Channel.
No matter what, Mango Channel is still ranked first among provincial satellite TV stations, and it will not change in the next few years.
Therefore, establishing a good relationship with Ye Ming at this time is also what the leader of Mango Channel hopes to see. In such a situation, Zhang Huali brought people over to negotiate.
In fact, originally such a thing did not necessarily require a leader of Zhang Huali's level.
But since they were here, Zhang Huali and Ye Ming exchanged a few words, and then said directly: "Our station has also considered Mr. Ye's matter. Such a TV series is relatively new.
What will be the ratings of magical historical TV series?
It’s hard for anyone to say this, but our TV station? To put it bluntly, it’s for advertising and profit. If the TV series is better, advertisers will be more interested in investing money.
This would be beneficial to both of us. However, if the ratings of the TV series are not very good, then there will be no advertisers to invest money at this time, which will be of no benefit to both of us.
Therefore, your price is a little higher. Our TV station is more adventurous. Of course, I am very confident in Mr. Ye's talent. The movies and TV series produced by Mr. Ye are all very powerful.
So far, there is no record of losing money, but there are always exceptions to everything. This is a novel subject after all. What will its ratings be like?
No one can guarantee it, so if you offer such a price, it is relatively high, which makes it difficult for our TV station to accept it.
When we came here, several of us discussed it, and the ratings of such a TV series are definitely guaranteed.
However, we can’t say to what extent it can be distributed. We rest as owners, but after all, we have to be responsible for the TV station and the advertisers. They are getting the money, right?
If the online ratings are relatively good this time, advertisers will naturally be very enthusiastic about investing money. However, if the ratings are not good, then if our TV station purchases Confucianism and Taoism at such a price, then there will be
Probably lost money.
This is not what I want to see, nor is it what the TV station wants to see. Therefore, I think if we buy this TV series for you at such a price, the price for the first broadcast rights is a little higher.
Our TV station will suffer more, so I think if the price is lowered a little bit, then our TV station is still very willing to take such a risk.
After all, our Mango Channel has cooperated with Huihuang Film and Television for so long, and we have always been mutually beneficial. The price we can offer this time is relatively high, well, 1.2 million, which is really unprecedented.
So far, there are no TV series in the entertainment industry that have a first-run rights of more than 1 million.
Moreover, this is a new type of subject matter. Generally speaking, if you take a risk, our TV station will also take a risk. If the ratings are not good, then we will suffer a loss.
Therefore, I think we need to re-discuss this price, otherwise our TV station will not dare to take such a big risk.
And as you said, you will basically shoot for 40, 50 episodes or even more. When the ratings are not good for us, it will all be ruined. No one of us dares to be responsible for this.
I dare say that even the director would not dare to sign this."
In fact, in 2007, the first-round broadcast rights for TV series were worth RMB 120 trillion. Such a price was indeed a bit high.
Of course, in the original time and space, the later "Zhen Huan's Royal Love in the Palace" and Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace were sold at sky-high prices. Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace even sold three million episodes.
That was a time when the entertainment industry was developing very rapidly, but in 2007, the price of TV sets was not that high, and none exceeded one million.
What's more, Ye Ming shouted out the price of 1.2 million this time, which surprised Mango TV even more.
If it weren’t for the fact that Ye Ming has always had a good relationship with Mango TV, and everyone cooperates closely, and Ye Ming has always been very profitable, anyone who cooperates with him will gain a lot. Otherwise, Mango TV will not pay attention to it at all.
In fact, it also depends on reputation. For a person like Ye Ming, if he quoted 1.2 million, even Mango Channel would have to consider it. If they don’t agree to cooperate with Ye Ming this time, what if his TV series becomes really popular?
.
1.2 million is a lot, and if it really becomes popular, it won't be unacceptable.
With a broadcast platform like Mango Channel, the 1.2 million first-round broadcast rights should be able to be earned back through advertising.
But that means that after the TV series becomes popular, if the ratings of the TV series are not high, then if I want such a high price at this time and buy out the first-round broadcast rights, the TV station will definitely lose money.
No one in the TV station dares to bear such a responsibility. Even if the director comes, he probably won't dare to actually sign it.
After all, doing this is a bit too risky.
Therefore, at this time, Zhang Huali also clearly expressed his intention, how about the TV series? Let’s not talk about this first.
Mango Terrace still believes in Ye Ming’s signature, but the price is indeed a little too high.
Now that Mango Station is here, that means there is room for negotiation, but it doesn’t mean that there is no room for negotiation so we don’t want it.
Zhang Huali came here to discuss the price issue, which meant asking Ye Ming to lower the price slightly.
It was lowered to a price that was more acceptable to everyone, but Ye Ming said with great certainty: "As for the director, I am not talking about anything else. Ours this time is a magical historical TV series, a TV series with a completely new theme, and
The special effects there are very high-end special effects, all jointly created by our Huihuang Film and Television and Huihui.com.
You also know that the Running Movie is also created by us. In this case, think about how high the box office of the Running Movie is?
You should know how much we will spend on the special effects of this TV series. Therefore, in fact, I should have paid back 2 million at this time, 1.2 million, which was already taking care of Mango Channel.
The cooperation between our two companies is also very good. At this time, I also hope to cooperate with Mango Channel to create such a TV series. Therefore, the price of 1.2 million cannot be said too much at all, but rather relatively
not enough.
Do you know how much a TV series like this costs?
Probably in terms of special effects, the cost of such a TV series is more than 600,000.
In fact, if we talk about it carefully, if we sit down for such a TV series, the price of each level will be very amazing. Think about how much the special effects are worth?
The special effects jointly created by Huihuang Film and Television and Huihui.com are iconic. You know that we did the special effects in Fast and Furious 3. Do you know how much money people paid us to do it?"
At this time, Zhang Huali stopped talking, because the special effects of Brilliant Film and Television were indeed very powerful.
Fast and Furious Part 3 did not hire Hollywood special effects, but hired Huihuang Film and Television to do the special effects.
Of course, one reason is because the boss is Ye Ming. Ye Ming has the greatest power in this crew. He has his own special effects team, so of course he has to use it first with his own small team.
However, Hollywood is a commercial place after all. Although Ye Ming has great power in the third installment of The Fast and the Furious, he still has to choose the best when it comes to selecting special effects.
If it is not that the special effects of Huihuang Film and Television and Huihuang Network are better than those of Hollywood, then it would be more difficult for Ye Mingxiao to use the special effects jointly created by Huihuang Film and Television and Huihuang.com.
After all, what Hollywood recognizes is the effect. If your effect is good, then I will use yours. If the effect is not good, then I won’t have to talk about the price.
The film industry like Hollywood doesn't care about price at all. As long as the special effects of the film are good, then the price you charge is the price.
Because many movie special effects can add a lot of points to the movie. As we all know, the special effects price paid for the third part of the Fast and Furious movie should be more than 30 million, and it is US dollars.
These are all reported and cannot be hidden from people in the circle.
This is because the third Alien movie is not a movie that relies on special effects. This is Fast and Furious, which uses various elements such as cars, blood, violence, beauties, etc. to support the entire movie.
If we talk about special effects, they are only a very small aspect.
If you're talking about a movie like Star Wars, where almost the entire movie is supported by special effects, and let Brilliant Sound do it, basically the price is sky-high.
If this is the calculation, then at this time the Confucian and Taoist sage only quoted a price of 1.2 million, which cannot be considered particularly expensive.
Compared with the price of Fast and Furious Part 3, the price of this movie is simply a conscientious price, but you can’t calculate it like this, right?
For a TV series like this, where Hollywood movies can sell box office around the world, if Mango Channel wins it, it may not be possible to broadcast it all over the world.
It is unlikely to be broadcast even overseas. Therefore, the price of 1.2 million is definitely unprecedented. It is hard to say whether it is unprecedented or not.
Anyway, before, sorry, I have never heard of a TV station paying such a high price of 1.2 million for the first-round broadcast rights of a TV series.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Huali has always been critical of such a price.
But according to Ye Ming, the special effects of this TV series are very exciting and the price is 1.2 million?
It's totally worth the price. It can be said that the price offered by Huihuang Film and Television is relatively low. Therefore, Zhang Huali reserves his own opinions.
Although Zhang Huali also agrees with what Ye Ming said, the special effects technology of Brilliant Film and Television is famous all over the world. A major movie like Run Movie can prove that the special effects of Brilliant One are amazed by the whole world.
Otherwise, it is impossible for the movie Running Brothers to have such a high box office, but at this time, Zhang Huali has to think about his own TV station, which represents Mango Channel, and he has to consider the interests of Mango Channel.
If the Supreme Sage of Confucianism and Taoism buys out the first-round broadcast rights for 1.2 million this time, then if the expected goal is not achieved, Mango Channel will be the one to lose money and will be ridiculed by the brother stations.
This is something that Mango TV does not want to see, so at this time, Zhang Huali also said with great certainty: "I am an outsider in the matter of special effects.
Therefore, at this time, I don’t know much about the price of movie promotion. However, I believe that the special effects of Huihuang Film and Television are excellent and top-notch in the world. However, our TV station must consider 120 for the TV station itself.
The price of 10,000 yuan is indeed impossible for our TV station to accept.
If the ratings of this TV series are not good enough, then our TV station will definitely lose money. Therefore, at this time, we have to go back and carefully consider it. In fact, at this time, careful consideration means
It's almost the same as rejection, it's just that it's said without saying it clearly, and everyone's face looks better.
Ye Ming seems to be very hopeful that this cooperation can be promoted. He does not plan to change the price of 1.2 million, but he has other ways. So at this time, Ye Ming thought about it and asked about the price of the TV series?
I can't continue to lower it, because our TV series also have a production cost, right?
There are so many people in our company and I have to support them, so 1.2 million is a relatively bottom-line price. Of course, our cooperation is relatively close, and it should be regarded as a strategic partnership.
In this case, if you are worried that the ratings of the TV series are not very good, then we can sign a contract. We will first broadcast two episodes per week, or four episodes per week. It is better to choose this method.
.
While filming and broadcasting, we can take a look at the response of the ratings, and then decide on something else. 1.2 million is a base price. If the ratings of the TV series reach a certain agreement, then we can increase the price. If not, the price can be raised.
If it is reached, then the price of our TV series can be lowered.
Two episodes per week or four episodes per week, so we can shoot almost every week without any problem.
With the addition of post-production, the time schedule should be able to meet the needs of the TV station."
