Chapter 227 The Tangled Old Hu (5/5)
"The Temptation of Going Home" is actually a customized drama by Mango TV!
What is a custom drama that is not interesting?
To give a brief example, "House of Cards" is an online customized drama invested by a video website and produced by a film and television company...
Our country is different. Mango TV customized "The Temptation of Going Home", but the investor and producer are still Mengxi Company. Of course, Mango TV also invested a little money, which looked like about 10 million...
The series has been made and it is about to be sold for money.
The first choice is of course Mango TV.
"The Temptation of Going Home" total cost is 35 million - because it's too long, 95 episodes...
Mango TV's unit price is 580,000...
Well, it was not up to expectations.
58×95=55.1 million…
It must be making money!
And I made more than 20 million...
It looks pretty good, with a profit rate of 60%.
But, should I score 30% of the points for Mango TV? They are also investors!
Most importantly, the average viewership rate of "The Temptation of Going Home" is close to 3%, and the highest viewership share has reached an astonishing 26.7%, creating the highest viewership record of Mango TV except "Return of the Condor Princess"!
It was not until "In the Name of People" that it broke the various records set by "The Temptation of Going Home"...
You said, why can you only earn so much for such a TV series?
Zhao Jinsong nodded: "I feel it's a bit low, the profit rate of the dramas we produce is around 100%..."
"How much do you think is appropriate?"
"It's going to cost 700,000 yuan per episode no matter how you do it!"
Shen Mengxi rolled her eyes and said, "I think it's low for 1 million episodes! Such a movie can't have a rating below 2%!"
Zhao Jinsong thought about it for a while and suggested: "...Why don't we sign a bet agreement?"
"Are you betting against Mango Taiwan?"
"Yes, since you have confidence, let's sign a ratings bet!"
It is normal to bet on ratings. When the TV station buys TV series and has a large price difference with the production company, the "compromise plan" arises during the bargaining process. For example, the TV station's estimate system believes that a certain work should be 500,000 yuan per episode, while the producer believes that the reasonable price should be 800,000 yuan.
If the negotiation is invalid, a "ratings bet" will be conducted. The specific terms vary greatly, but the core is that the two parties agree on a viewership rate. If this agreed number is not met, the production company will not be able to obtain the sales price.
"…Okay, then sign, based on 2%, more than 0.1 percentage point, the price of a single episode rose by 30,000!"
Zhao Jinsong: "It's about 50,000, so we have room for maneuver..."
"You go and negotiate the specific negotiation..."
Shen Mengxi looked at the schedule and said, "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law" is about to be finished, and it's time for us to invite major TV stations to visit the set..."
"Aren't Beijing Taiwan very interested?"
"Then you need more choices!"
...
Hu Ge has become really busy these days...
"Painted Skin" and "The Beautiful Times of Wife" started filming almost at the same time, one male lead and the other male lead...
The key shooting location is not yet the same!
"Painted Skin" is filmed in Hengdian, and the filming location of "The Beautiful Era of a Wife" is in Beijing!
That's right, he's just a show!
And it is a drama that the director and producer agree to...
"The Beautiful Era of a Wife", Huang Haibo + Haiqing, in the eyes of the audience, his popularity is not as good as Hu Ge.
Of course the director is willing to play Mao Feng.
Well, it’s not just him who plays the show, Tong Yali who plays Long Jin, Zhao Liying who plays Bai Xue, and Wang Lei also played soy sauce in "The Beautiful Era of a Wife". He plays Yang Yifan...
Of course, Hu Ge's Mao Feng is one of the protagonists, and the others are small supporting roles. They appear in one or two episodes to help them maintain their appearance...
Hu Ge is very tired!
Fortunately, "Painted Skin" is over, and "The Beautiful Time of Daughter-in-law" is about to be filmed...
And he really likes Mao Feng - Mao Feng is a man who is cynical and good at work, but he is very naive about feelings. He is tired of playing with each other and has no sense of responsibility at all!
Of course, I finally found my belonging and became responsible!
This is the first time Hu Ge has played such a role!
Now I want to film Mao Feng being attracted by Long Jin and want to get a divorce...
It’s useless for anyone to persuade him, Brother Fan insists on giving it a try!
It's the last scene.
The person who plays Brother Fan is Guo Jingfei, and the location is a bar.
He walked into the bar casually, looked left and right, found Mao Feng, and sat down: "As soon as you guessed you were here, drinking so much?"
Hu Ge didn't raise his head, picked it up, let it sip, and then asked, "My sister asked you to come?"
“…”
Guo Jingfei did not answer, but just looked at him, and the latter continued: "Oh! I have told me all the truth, and I understand it too, but... forget it, if you come to persuade me, you should stop talking!"
"Then let's not chat, drink!"
After asking for a bottle of beer, he still spoke: "Mao Feng, what's the difference between this man and a woman?"
Hu Ge ignored him, Guo Jingfei said to himself: "I think the smarter a woman is, the more fragile it looks, right?"
Hu Ge nodded: "Yes, the smarter the man is, the more courageous he is, like me!"
"No...I'm talking about it, women often play the weak, and she wins with weakness!"
"Yes, men like to play the role of strong men, but in fact they are strong outside and do things on the outside!"
Liu Jiang sat in front of the camera and looked at this scene with satisfaction.
He really thinks the actors are chosen well, especially Guo Jingfei, who passes one by one, and has almost never NG...
I must find him next time there is a chance!
Just as he was thinking about it, the assistant next to him whispered: "Director, Producer Shen is here..."
“…just come…”
He replied subconsciously, then turned his head in surprise. Sure enough, Shen Mengxi stood behind him...
Shen Mengxi waved his hand quickly, meaning 'You can take a photo first, don't worry about me!'
...
It’s not that Liu Jiang made a fuss, but that Shen Mengxi has hardly appeared on the set...
When filming the movie "Departure Today", he thought Shen Mengxi would come to the crew to visit a class, and swear to the producer's authority, take it over, and he did not appear from beginning to end;
"The Beautiful Era of a Wife", this is almost finished, Shen Mengxi suddenly comes!
Shen Mengxi explained: "There are film buyers from several TV stations who want to come and see, and I mainly come and see Hu Ge."
“Hugo performed very well!”
"...It's enough!" Shen Mengxi turned around and was about to leave. He reminded him: "The company's public relations department will be responsible for receiving the TV station purchasing staff later, and the crew actors are not allowed to go!"
"…There must be one or two scenes, right?"
"Then let the old actors go, young actors are not allowed to go!"
"…good!"
Liu Jiang nodded, Shen Mengxi left, and he went to the actors' lounge...
I really come to see Hu Ge...
After all, "The House of Snails" is about to start filming, and Hu Ge is the actor of Xiao Bei.
The problem is that "The Sound of the Wind" will start filming in January!
The actors all have to join the group.
Therefore, Lao Hu must give up...
He came to persuade Hu Ge to give up "The Snail House" and specialize in "The Voice of the Wind"...
In fact, Lao Hu was also confused in his heart. He liked Xiao Bei in "The Snail House" and Takeda in "The Sound of the Wind"...
Chapter completed!
