"Okay, I'll contact you. You can go back and rest." Lu Fang looked at Chen Mubai who came to the office with a chicken coop on his head and said with a funny look on his face.
"Well, then I'll leave first. You can let me know when we've made an appointment."
"We can start preheating and promoting it. Once we have selected the TV station, we can release it."
After saying that, Chen Mubai put on his hat and went out.
He can't appear sloppy in front of everyone. He is a star after all, and he also has the baggage of an idol.
How can I appear in front of everyone looking so sloppy?
However, my hair is indeed a bit long and needs to be cut.
After Chen Mubai left the company, he went home to rest.
...
A week later, people from the drama purchasing departments of all TV stations showed up at Mubai Entertainment.
They have received news before that this time Mubai Entertainment will hold a movie viewing party, where everyone will watch the drama together and then bid to buy it.
After all, this show has a lot of people watching it, so this method is acceptable.
The people who came to the scene were all high-level. They were all managers of the drama purchasing department. They had higher authority and could make appropriate decisions on the quotations. If a small employee came, he wouldn’t have much autonomy. How could he compete with others?
However, no matter what Mubai Entertainment dares to do, I guess they are very confident in this drama and the quality should not be bad.
Otherwise, if you do this, everyone can watch this drama. If the quality is not good, it will be a failure.
It would be really embarrassing if everyone thought it was bad and no one bought it.
It's not like talking about it one by one, there's still a lot of room for maneuver.
"Hey, you're here too?" Someone saw the drama purchasing manager of Jiang Province TV Station laughing.
"Why, I can't come?" Jiang Province representative said calmly.
We often interact with each other, compete for some works, and become familiar with each other.
"I just want to know if the leader in the station criticized you last time you missed "Struggle"!?" This man opened his scars.
This sentence actually made many people laugh.
"Struggle" Chen Mubai did not choose too many TV stations to cooperate with, but only chose a few first-tier satellite TV stations.
Some TV stations already have works in their schedules and then give up, so there aren't many real selectors, unlike this show.
At that time, Jiang Province TV chose "People's Police" and missed "Struggle", and everyone knew that.
Everyone here is very well-informed. In addition, this matter has indeed become a laughing stock in the industry. This operation of Jiang Province TV Station is really embarrassing.
If Jiang Province TV had chosen "Struggle", there would have been nothing to do with Nan Province TV. Only after they rejected "Struggle" did Nan Province TV buy "Struggle".
There is a difference in time. In fact, Jiang Province TV Station made a mistake and was picked up by Nan Province TV Station.
Everyone is a rival to each other, so it's normal to be a bit angry at this time, and each other grabs the other's favorite works.
"Yes, no matter how bad things go, we still won the second place in the same period and the first place in the summer season." Jiang Province TV Station laughed and mocked.
"what about you?"
"Struggle" was not really released in the summer, and the number of episodes was not that many. Even if the ratings were later surpassed by "Struggle", it was because "Struggle" was about to end, and it did not need to be suppressed for too long.
The historical drama "Warriors of the Tang Dynasty" ranks first in the summer season in terms of overall ratings, followed by "Qianlong" and then "Struggle".
The number of episodes of costume dramas exceeds that of urban dramas, so the market share will naturally be larger.
However, "Struggle" is Chen Mubai's first time directing a TV series, so it is extremely amazing to achieve such results!
When it first aired, no one expected it to have such high ratings and surpass two major costume productions at the same time.
The one who was teased was someone from Beijing TV, and his face darkened.
Their TV station ranked fifth in the summer season. When they bought the dramas, all the good ones were taken away, and they had nothing to do.
Some dramas are produced jointly by the TV station and the company, so there is nothing they can do if they don't become hits.
Since you are mocking me, I will hit you back. If I don’t have a good time, you won’t have a good time either, people in Jiang Province think.
"Okay, everyone, please be nice. We'll start watching the drama soon. It's a bit awkward for you to argue." Nan Province TV Station jumped out to be the peacemaker.
They did make a lot of money this time, so the smiles on their faces never disappeared.
Speaking out at this time may not mean showing off.
"Yes, we are all acquaintances. Let's take the test and watch the drama, and then we can compete."
"Everyone who can come here has an idea for this show, and everyone wants to win this show."
"Although Jiang Province TV missed "Struggle", didn't they come here to make up for it this time? Maybe they came here with the determination to win?" Someone from other TV stations joked.
"Huh!" The representative of Jiang Province TV Station snorted coldly and stopped talking.
This is simply to use his words to see if they are bound to win this drama. If so, they can also be mentally prepared to see who are the real opponents.
Although the TV stations that come here all have ideas about this drama, they are not necessarily specifically interested in buying it. Some of them come here because of the previous popularity and make a decision based on the quality of the drama. Everyone has different purposes.
.
Everyone stopped talking, and soon everyone arrived, and Chen Mubai and others also came in.
"Hello everyone, welcome to this movie viewing party!"
Chen Mubai stood on the stage and saw the staff from various television stations seated there shouting welcomes.
"Thank you everyone for supporting us. Because time is limited, we simply hold this public viewing party so that everyone can make a decision after watching it."
"The opening and ending songs haven't been made yet. They will be filled in when the time comes. You already know the ending song, which is "The Love I Can't Wait." The opening song will be an excellent song, no better than the one in "Struggle"
The song is still sung by Tao Yaoyao!"
What has been edited so far is full-length content. When the TV series is broadcast, there will be a trailer for the title, which has not yet been completed.
The song hasn't been given to Tao Yaoyao yet, but I just told her about it in advance and it will be completed after the film viewing party.
Everyone who came to the scene had the desire to buy the show, so it’s not wrong to say that they supported it.
"Hey, it doesn't have to be a bad song like "Struggle", but it's also a hit-level song?"
"Then this traffic is a bit scary!"
A large part of the popularity of "Struggle" was brought about by the influence of those two songs. The songs are so outstanding!
There were many people who liked it, and everyone loved it so much that they went to watch "Struggle".
Otherwise, the appeal of Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao alone would not be so strong.
Mubai Entertainment is also a new entertainment company. It cannot compare with established companies in terms of publicity channels, and conventional means cannot achieve such a big impact.
Therefore, using the reputation of the song to promote the TV series was Mubai Entertainment's original method.
It is also because the songs are outstanding enough that the promotion of the TV series has been extremely successful, in a way that others cannot replicate...
The reason why the premiere data is so high is because of the influence of the song, otherwise there would definitely be a big gap.
The subsequent ratings are due to the quality and reputation of the work. Whether the drama is good or the song is good, more people will naturally like it and it can retain the audience.
"So, the data from the first broadcast will not be bad?"
"Yes, we will have to watch the quality of the drama later and we will know it right away."
"We also need to take into consideration the song..."
Everyone's expressions perked up, this is big news!
Chen Mubai said this at this time because he wanted to increase the influence of this drama in everyone's hearts.
After Chen Mu finished speaking, all the curtains in the room were drawn down, and the entire conference room became dark.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen in front of them. The TV series was already displayed on the projector and was playing.
At the beginning, the male and female protagonists appear, and then a series of things happen.
You have seen some of the scenes, they appeared in the original trailer, and this first episode shows the backgrounds of Liu Yiyang and Tong Jiaqian.
Soon, everyone finished watching the first episode and then continued to watch the second episode.
The quality of this drama is much better than they imagined. The newcomers are not too much of a loser, and the acting skills of the protagonist are really good. Tao Yaoyao is surprising.
"This drama is great!"
"It completely exceeded my expectations. It can be bought and it is possible to recreate the miracle of "Struggle"!"
"The songs and the plot are not bad. Although the cast is a little bit worse, the starring cast is not bad. Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao are top-notch. Qian Duoduo and Lin Xue are also very popular recently, so it's still okay."
"The topic of naked marriage was made popular by Chen Mubai. This has always been a thing, but no one pointed out this concept. Now that this drama has come out, this topic is hot, and there should be a lot of people watching it."
"The show has already become popular before it is aired. There are several lines in the show that are very popular online. This shows that this show has merits. In addition, people will also watch this show because of their preference for those popular sentences.
Are there any other wonderful things to say in the play?"
People from various TV stations who have watched the drama have their own thoughts in their minds. Everyone has different thoughts, but the same thing is their affirmation of this drama.
Everyone thinks that this drama has a chance of becoming popular, and they are more optimistic about this drama, so the competition will become more intense!
"Okay, the starting price for this drama is 1 million per episode, and each increase cannot be less than 50,000," Chen Mubai said.
He has also been observing the expressions of personnel from various television stations.
When it first started playing, some people were very interested, while others were not so interested.
But after watching the two episodes, everyone's expressions changed and they were watching very seriously.
This shows that they have watched it, and the quality of this drama is not bad in their minds. Watching it seriously shows that they are evaluating the drama in their hearts and analyzing its subsequent growth.
If the play is not good, everyone will never look at it seriously, and they will definitely appear casual and uninterested.
"We offer 1.05 million!"
"1.1 million!"
"1.2 million!"
"1.3 million!"
"1.5 million!"
Everyone starts to make quotations.
At first, the price increase was still 50,000 to 50,000, then to 100,000, and then to 200,000.
When the bid reached 1.5 million, everyone stopped bidding so fiercely in the early stage and began to be more cautious.
This price is already quite high. The price of the first episode of "Struggle" was only 1.8 million per episode, as everyone knows.
It stands to reason that the price of this drama will not be higher than "Struggle", because the investment budget and cast of this drama are far lower than that of "Struggle", so the price will naturally be quite different.
After all, there are other well-known stars in "Struggle". This drama relies entirely on Chen Mubai and a few others, and there are no other well-known actors at all.
When everyone came here, they never thought that the price would be so high, and their psychologically expected price was far lower than the current quote.
If it weren't for the fact that after looking at it, I found that the quality was good, the price would not have been so high.
They know that the quality is not bad, but the audience doesn’t know!
The audience only looks at the starring cast. If there are other well-known actors, everyone will still pay more attention to it, and it can also win a group of viewers.
But this show doesn’t have that, so it will lose this part of the audience.
Although the quality is not bad, people don't want to watch the show after taking one look at the cast. How can they know whether the quality is good or bad if they don't watch it?
