"Mr. Fang, the main purpose of my visit today is to discuss the premiere of 'Calabash' on Shanghai TV. I wonder what your opinion is on this matter? We will certainly do our best to satisfy you." Ouyang Ming was a straightforward person and made his point clear from the start.
Fang Yang exchanged glances with Yang Huajin for a while before saying, "Director Ouyang, there's something we need to clarify beforehand. We did obtain the filming permit for 'Calabash,' but we haven't applied for the broadcast permit yet. The main reason is that web dramas don't require a broadcast permit. Also, 'Calabash' is being produced and broadcast simultaneously. If we wait until production is complete before applying for the broadcast permit, it will take too long."
Ouyang Ming knew the situation. "So you mean we can only get a broadcasting permit after it's broadcast on the Yuewen Entertainment website, and then broadcast it on TV?"
Fang Yang nodded: "Our Yuewen Entertainment website has already premiered four episodes. At the fastest production rate, we can only produce about five episodes a week, and that's with all of us, over a hundred people, involved. In other words, if you want to broadcast daily, you can only air one episode a day, and if you want to broadcast weekly, it will be four episodes."
Ouyang Ming nodded. "Daily broadcasts would be the most effective, but ten minutes a day isn't enough to support a whole show. It's too short. It seems we have no choice but to do what you do and choose weekly broadcasts, four episodes a week. That should also be effective. By the way, how many episodes are there in total for your 'Calabash' series?"
Fang Yang: "There are more than 250 episodes in total. If it is broadcast weekly, it will take five years to finish airing."
Ouyang Ming nodded and said, "That's good. It can lock in the ratings for several years. I wonder if President Fang has any objections to broadcasting 'Calabash' on our Shanghai TV station?"
Fang Yang smiled and said, "It's our honor that Director Ouyang thinks highly of us. As for the specifics, just talk to our General Manager Yang. General Manager Yang can represent me fully."
Ouyang Ming nodded, signaling to Zhang, the head of the content department who had accompanied him, to go and negotiate with Yang Huajin.
