Chapter 397 How should the price be set?
After Gu Sanjing finished taking photos with the group, they all went into a private room to eat. The restaurant owner, knowing the diving champion was dining at their restaurant, came over with a smile and offered to give them a free meal. Gu Jianguo naturally wanted to decline, but the owner was kind, and after a brief chat, they finally agreed to a 40% discount on their meal.
Gu Siqing couldn't help but sigh at the simplicity of people in this era. Just like those people who asked San Jing for her autograph, she said she would take a photo and send it to them, and they believed her so easily. And now, people who have never met her before are asking for free meals just because San Jing is the champion.
Of course, as the champion's family, they were all very proud. The family happily ate the meal, and then Gu Jianguo sent Gu Sanjing to the hotel.
The next day, Gu Sanjing and the team chartered a plane back to Kyoto. Gu Siqing and the others also bought tickets for the same day. Back in Kyoto, the team took a few days off, and Gu Sanjing went home to rest. Gu Jianguo, Gu Erhui, and the others got back to work. They began planning to open Guangming supermarkets across the country.
Gu Sanjing rested at home for a few days before returning to the team. Pei Yunxia spoke to her after she returned. "Next up is preparations for next year's Olympics. Our goals are the 10-meter platform diving, women's doubles, and men's and women's doubles. We've picked out a few promising youngsters this time. During this time, you'll spend some time with them and decide who you'll partner with."
Gu Sanjing nodded after hearing her words, "I know, don't worry, I will definitely train hard."
Although she often thought that if she didn't dance well, she could just go back to school, but who wouldn't want to be an Olympic champion? Besides, the women's team was under a lot of pressure right now.
The last Olympic Games was the first time that our country participated in the Olympics since its founding. Although we achieved good results, our women's diving team only had one champion, and that champion retired last year.
This means that next year's women's diving team will consist almost entirely of newcomers. One can imagine how much pressure they will be under.
Gu Sanjing knew that her coach had placed some of the Olympic gold medalist's goals on her shoulders. With great ability came great responsibility, and by now, it wasn't just a matter of whether or not she could win the Olympics.
Every member of their national team has the responsibility to bring glory to the country.
Pei Yunxia was naturally under a lot of pressure, but she didn't want to put too much pressure on her teammates, so she smiled and said, "It's right to have a sense of responsibility and pressure, but we can't let this responsibility and pressure affect training."
Gu Sanjing smiled: "Coach, I know."
Pei Yunxia patted her shoulder and said, "Go train."
"Okay." Gu Sanjing turned and went out. Pei Yunxia stretched out her hand and pinched her eyebrows. She was under a lot of pressure. Gu Sanjing was a promising girl in the women's team, but they couldn't put all their hopes on her, and she couldn't participate in all the events alone.
We are short of people, especially excellent people.
Gu Siqing's production of "Whose Childhood Is Worry-Free" has been completed and has passed the review. The next step is to negotiate with the TV station, and she will leave this matter to Zhou Guoyuan.
"Let's talk to CCTV first. If the broadcast effect on CCTV is good, it will be easier for local stations." Zhou Guoyuan said to Gu Siqing.
Gu Siqing didn't know much about this, so she said, "You decide."
Zhou Guoyuan would naturally take care of this, but the key was the price. She had to negotiate with Gu Siqing, the investor. What was the purpose of investing? Of course, they wanted to make money!
So he asked Gu Siqing: "How do you think the price should be set?"
"How are the prices of TV series generally determined nowadays?" Gu Siqing didn't know much about this and must have referred to the prices of other TV series on the market.
"It depends on what TV series it is. For example, "Dream of Red Mansions", it is said that one episode costs more than 20,000 yuan, but some TV series only cost a few thousand yuan per episode." Zhou Guoyuan said.
Gu Siqing frowned slightly, "What do you think the price of our TV series should be?"
Zhou Guoyuan thought for a moment and said, "Although our TV series has a low budget, the subject matter is novel, and the actors have excellent acting skills. I believe that once it is broadcast, it will definitely be very popular. Therefore, I would like to set the price at 15,000."
When Gu Siqing heard the price, her mind raced with calculations. This TV series had thirty episodes, and at fifteen thousand per episode, that would be four hundred and fifty thousand.
She invested less than 100,000 yuan in this TV series, and after deducting the cost, she earned at least 350,000 yuan. She promised Zhou Guoyuan 20,000 yuan, and she made about 280,000 yuan.
Of course, there will be more to earn in the future. This is just the first round. There will be local stations next, and we can make another round of money.
In her past life, people always said that the entertainment industry was profitable, and now she had experienced firsthand how much money was made. But the key was whether she could sell so much?
She thought for a moment and said, "You can start with 15,000 and negotiate with them. If it doesn't work, it's no problem to lower it."
Zhou Guoyuan was very confident in the film he had made. He said, "I'll start by negotiating with them for 20,000 yuan. The reserve price is 15,000 yuan."
"Okay, you go and talk first." For Gu Siqing, the more expensive the better.
After talking with Gu Siqing, Zhou Guoyuan took the sample film to CCTV the next day to see the director of the editorial office. However, he was a relatively unknown director, and when he arrived at the local office, he couldn't even see the director. However, he had to discuss this matter with the director, and only if the director agreed could it be reported.
After entering, she didn't see the director. She waited at the door all morning, but still didn't see him. Then she went downstairs and waited again, but still didn't see him. But she was mentally prepared. The next morning, before the TV station staff came to work, she started waiting at the door. The director must be at work!
After waiting at the TV station entrance from seven until almost eight, Zhou Guoyuan spotted Director Luo from the editorial office riding his bicycle in the distance. He immediately trotted over and said with a smile, "Hello, Director Luo."
Director Luo didn't recognize him, but since he was talking to him with a smile, he smiled back and asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Zhou Guoyuan, and I'm a director." Zhou Guoyuan smiled. "I've made a TV series. Please take a look."
"What TV series?" Director Luo asked indifferently.
Zhou Guoyuan: "The sitcom, 'Whose Childhood Wasn't Troubled'."
Director Luo frowned and said, "Sounds familiar."
Zhou Guoyuan quickly smiled and said, "You must be familiar with this. It's based on the novel 'Whose Childhood Wasn't Troubled' by the young writer Nian Doubao. Nian Doubao published several articles in the newspaper a few months ago."
When he said that, Director Luo remembered, "That TV series! Has it been filmed yet?"
At the time, Gu Siqing and Ling Pingying had a heated argument in the newspapers, and many people knew about it. Gu Siqing also took the opportunity to promote "Whose Childhood Wasn't Troubled," which Director Luo naturally knew about.
