Zuo Le knocked on the door of station director Chen Changshan's office. After a moment, the door opened from the inside.
Chen Changshan's secretary Zhang Yuan greeted him with a smile on his face: "Director Zuo, here you go, the director and director Fang are waiting for you inside."
"Secretary Zhang." Zuo Le nodded quickly in greeting.
Even though Zhang Yuan is just Chen Changshan's secretary, in terms of administrative level, he is considered a middle-level leader in the TV station. Normally, he has to sell the other party a bit of face to serve the people.
Although Zuo Le knew that he was now very popular in Taiwan, he still had to be somewhat respectful when facing the top secretaries.
People carry people in sedan chairs.
Seeing Zuo Le's kind attitude, Zhang Yuan's smile became much more sincere. He led Zuo Le into the office, informed Chen Changshan who was talking to Fang Weimin, turned around and went to the water dispenser next to him to make a cup of tea for Zuo Le.
"Xiao Zuo, come on, sit down and talk."
Station director Chen Changshan was very happy when he saw Zuo Le coming in. After he greeted Zuo Le cordially and sat down, he began to praise the achievements of "Underground Traffic Station" repeatedly.
He also specifically stated that Taiwan is prepared to make Zuo Le a model for the second phase of the "New Power" program and be commended by the whole Taiwan.
When Fang Weimin heard this, he also joined in the fun. He said that the production center has begun to study the improvement of Zuo Le's position and salary, and the salary and bonus will also be increased significantly. Now Zuo Le's special office is being renovated and will be ready for use next week.
.
Perhaps because he wanted to show that he valued Zuo Le very much, Chen Changshan was quite interested in Zuo Le's promotion and salary increase.
He also gave special instructions to Fang Weimin, asking him not to stick to the old rules, but to know how to move forward, boldly promote young talents like Zuo Le, and closely follow Taili's reform and innovation policy of "valuing performance and valuing capabilities".
Zuo Le would really feel disgusted with these official words in normal times, but now that it is about his promotion and salary increase, Zuo Le listens to it however he pleases, and he gives Chen Changshan a thumbs up in his heart.
As expected of a leader, his speaking skills are very high!
…………
After expressing his importance to Zuo Le, Chen Changshan stopped the topic and turned to business.
In fact, he came to Fang Weimin and Zuo Le today mainly to discuss the issue of selling the online copyright of "Underground Traffic Station".
At present, the ratings of "Underground Traffic Station" have reached 0.8% in three days. Last night, the ratings of the same period reached fourth place, just a hair away from third place.
With this current performance, it can be ranked high during the entire Spring Festival, not to mention that "Underground Traffic Station" has just exploded in performance.
Judging from its rising momentum since its launch, it is still far from the peak ratings of "Underground Traffic Station".
Who wouldn’t be envious of such a powerful dark horse?
"Underground Traffic Station" is a self-produced drama by Dongshan TV. As for the TV platform, it must be Dongshan TV's own food. There is nothing I can do about it.
But the online platform is different.
Dongshan TV does not have its own online TV like Shonan TV, and cannot independently operate the online copyright of "Underground Traffic Station", so it will definitely sell the online platform of "Underground Traffic Station".
So, there was no need for Dongshantai to yell at him. Starting from last night, video websites started to come over one after another to inquire and test.
As of now, three websites have made clear offers and are interested in winning the exclusive online broadcast rights of "Underground Traffic Station".
Chen Changshan asked Zhang Yuan, the secretary next to him, to introduce the current situation and quotations of the three websites to Zuo Le and Fang Weimin.
The first company was Kiwi. The "Hello, Intern" they purchased with a large sum of money was a hit in terms of word-of-mouth ratings, causing Kiwi to suffer serious losses. They were eager to find a substitute to reverse the decline.
"Underground Traffic Station", which has outstanding ratings and has not sold any network rights, has entered Kiwi's attention.
In order to win "Underground Traffic Station", Kiwi's initial offer was 3 million for an episode. "Underground Traffic Station" has 30 episodes in total, which adds up to 90 million.
90 million!
Compared with the previous Internet copyright prices for self-produced dramas sold by production centers, they are sky-high.
By selling "Underground Transportation Station" to Kiwi, Taili's previous losses on "Hello, Intern" can be directly recouped.
However, Chen Changshan is a veteran and has a broad vision after all. He was not shocked by the mere 90 million. He clearly understood that the value of the copyright for the "Underground Traffic Station" web drama was much more than that.
At first, Kiwi paid 220 million for "Hello, Intern", which had an uncertain performance. Now, "Underground Traffic Station" is expected to break 1, and its popularity is getting more and more popular.
90 million, where are the fools?
Sure enough, shortly after the kiwi fruit quotation, Penguin, the three major domestic video websites, also came to visit.
Penguin, who was backed by Little Ma, had a lot of money, so he directly raised the price of kiwi fruit by 30 million, and quoted 120 million for the exclusive online broadcast rights of "Underground Traffic Station".
This is somewhat sincere!
Chen Changshan became slightly happy, and then he received an offer for the third film.
BitZone, which has always been mainly engaged in community and media video creation, suddenly changed its previous attitude of not being too involved in domestic film and television network copyrights, and offered 130 million for the exclusive network broadcast rights of "Underground Traffic Station".
Is it possible that Coin Station is not satisfied with the status quo and intends to join the film and television network platform and compete with the three major video websites for territory?
Chen Changshan doesn't care much about what the senior management of the currency station thinks. He is more concerned about how much these companies will pay to obtain the Internet copyright of "Underground Transportation Station", and how much they will pay for the Internet copyright of "Underground Transportation Station" after obtaining the copyright.
"Station" how much publicity resources proportion.
Chen Changshan attaches great importance to this. After all, "Underground Traffic Station" is popular on the Internet platform, which will feed back to the TV platform, thereby increasing the ratings of "Underground Traffic Station" to a certain extent.
As the old saying goes, Dongshantai is not short of money, it is short of achievements.
Chen Changshan would rather charge less copyright fees, but also strive for the reliability of the online platform.
…………
Chen Changshan did not hide his thoughts. He approached Fang Weimin and Zuo Lelai just to ask for their opinions. Especially Zuo Le, as the director and screenwriter, he was the person who knew "Underground Traffic Station" best.
The three online platforms have different styles. Chen Changshan wanted Zuo Le to analyze for him which website "Underground Traffic Station" is most suitable for.
Zuo Le pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and said slowly: "Don't analyze from those professional perspectives, just look at the resource tilt, Kiwi and Penguin are blooming, even if they win "Underground Traffic Station" with a lot of money, they will not do their best to support it.
, you should consider what other drama producers think.
On the other hand, there are three or two big fish and little cats in the film and television area, most of which are old dramas and foreign dramas. "Underground Traffic Station" is the only one in the currency station. The currency station has spent a lot of money, and it will definitely provide it with all its strength at any cost.
Promotional resources for "Underground Transportation Station".
After all, the audience size of the BiZhan film and television area is far less than that of the two major video websites, but the traffic and number of users of the entire site are not bad at all.
If the currency website tries its best to divert traffic to "Underground Transportation Station", it may not be able to compete with the two professional video websites Penguin and Kiwi, and may even surpass it.
And the most important point is that I personally believe that the active barrage culture of the currency website is very suitable for TV series such as sitcoms and will bring a good viewing experience to the audience.
Of course, this is my personal analysis, and the result may not be correct. The best result would be if one of Kiwi and Penguin can be persuaded to share the online copyright of "Underground Transportation Station" with the currency website."
"It's quite annoying. In the past two years, the competition among several video websites has become increasingly fierce. They usually directly spend money on exclusive broadcast rights and let them share the copyright, which is not an easy task.
I don’t know what the currency station’s idea is, and 80% of the time Kiwi and Penguin won’t agree. The more popular the drama is, the less likely they will relent.”
After listening to this, Fang Weimin shook his head and said, as the director of the production center, he has frequent dealings with these video websites every year because of the online copyright of self-made dramas, so he knows the style of these people.
"..."
Chen Changshan remained silent for nearly five minutes, then adjusted his glasses and said calmly.
"Now that the ratings of "Underground Traffic Station" are rising steadily, and we have not shown reruns, the online voice for "Underground Traffic Station" to be broadcast on online platforms is getting louder and louder.
With such a large amount of traffic and potential users, I don't believe they are not interested. The initiative lies with me and not with them.
Lao Fang, you have had a lot of dealings with them. This time, you will negotiate with them on behalf of the station. It is best for the two families to share the copyright together. You cannot just focus on the proportion of publicity resources. Whoever cooperates with our station on this point will get less copyright fees.
Just a little bit is fine.
In addition, you have also heard what Xiao Zuo said before. Under the same conditions,... the currency station will be the first choice."
Fang Weimin nodded solemnly and issued a military order: "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer within three days."
"Underground Traffic Station" currently needs the popularity of the Internet platform to continue to boost the ratings, so the faster the negotiation speed, the better.
Otherwise, in normal times, three days would not even be enough time for such an important negotiation...
