Lin Yifeng raised an eyebrow slightly.
A six-month screening right indicates that the other party intends to try to monopolize the screening of pornographic films.
With a little maneuvering, the rights to air twenty episodes should be enough for a month of broadcasting. If the results are good during that month, the other party will definitely want to extend the broadcast.
To put it bluntly, they want to lock up the broadcasting rights for a month, preventing other TV stations from having a chance.
"That's interesting."
"You want to see if I'm confident in my TV series, right?"
Lin Yifeng's tone became colder, causing the two people opposite him to shrink back.
Realizing their intentions had been seen through, the two were about to continue explaining when they saw Lin Yifeng wave his hand magnanimously.
"Sure, no problem."
"But you have to do it."
"You'd better watch out for the price next time you screen it."
They had long been mentally prepared for this.
Making such an excessive demand means that if we continue to cooperate, we will definitely be asked for a price higher than the original market price.
They're now gambling that this million dollars might buy them a hit TV series.
"Old Guo, take them to arrange the contract."
Lin Yifeng gave Guo Fengsheng some instructions, stood up, smiled and shook hands with the two men, and then had someone arrange for them to sign the subsequent contracts.
After finishing all that work, Guo Fengsheng went to his office, unbuttoned his shirt collar, and let out a long sigh.
"Brother Feng, are these TV series really that profitable?"
"We've only been here a few days, and we've already secured so many contracts."
"Tsk tsk tsk, TV dramas really are incredibly profitable."
Lin Yifeng smiled.
The film market in this era is extremely profitable. Due to the scarcity of resources, both good and bad films can make a fortune in the market, not to mention that the rough films made by Chet Lam are among the best of the best.
This single deal with Bashu alone could net them a million.
Moreover, the prices offered by local TV stations in Zhongzhou Province are not low, with the cost of ten episodes generally around 400,000 yuan.
Currently, ten TV stations have already booked the TV series, but most have only booked the first ten episodes. Only the Central Province TV Station is so wealthy that it has directly locked in the price for all twenty episodes.
The first wave of releases alone could earn nearly five million. If it were to be released in Shandong and Bingzhou now, a TV series with a budget of one million could directly earn six million.
This is just the first wave; the price may increase by 1.5 to 3 times in subsequent waves. After four or five waves of screenings, the total box office will be at least 50 million.
Of course, this is the most ideal situation.
Guo Fengsheng kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead as he thought about how this was only a one million cost, but he would get fifty million in return.
This isn't making money; it's practically picking money up from everywhere with a sack.
Seeing Guo Fengsheng's shocked expression, Lin Yifeng gently comforted him.
"Alright, Lao Guo."
"This is nothing."
"Let's wait for the screening."
Lin Yifeng smiled and began to look forward to the TV series airing.
In the following days, after finalizing the deals with Qilu and Bingzhou, various local television stations also heard rumors that a new film and television company in Zhongzhou Province had produced a high-quality TV series.
However, due to the lack of representative works, local TV stations are still taking a wait-and-see approach.
Following the announcement by the State Administration of Radio and Television at the end of the month, the TV series was released nationwide on November 1st.
With the groundwork laid by numerous local television stations, the drama series immediately attracted the attention of countless viewers upon its release.
...
Bashu, a rented room next to the train station.
Several thugs gathered around the television, their eyes glued to it.
They are a dedicated team of veterans at the local train station.
Then a middle-aged man entered the room, his face ashen.
As the team leader, he was furious when he opened the door and saw that his subordinates were watching TV instead of going out to work.
"Spoon! Three-legged fool!"
"If you're not going to work! What are you going to do!"
"And you, Gou Dan'er!"
The leader didn't name everyone, but his words still sent a chill down the spines of many.
As the one leading the discussion, Spoon hurriedly tried to explain, even though he was embarrassed.
"Master Ma."
"We're waiting here to watch the TV series."
"The latest release."
Master Ma frowned, his eyes growing increasingly cold.
"TV drama?"
"What TV series is more important than making money?"
"Aren't you going to eat?"
The group looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
"A swindler."
"Porn? When will TV stations be able to show this stuff again?"
"Master Ma, it's not porn, it's 'scam,' it's 'scammer's scam,' it's about scammers."
"They're talking about scammers? Do TV stations even broadcast this kind of thing now?"
Master Ma was a little stunned, not quite understanding what was happening here.
Surrounded by the crowd, he also sat in front of the television and began to watch the TV series with everyone else.
It has to be said that Sichuan and Chongqing are quite adept at stirring things up.
After watching the original episodes, they decided to air two episodes a day, aiming to finish the series within a week.
The advantage of this tactic is that it allows them to capitalize on the hype and quickly boost viewership.
In addition, the fact that viewers can watch the show next week even if they can't watch it this week ensures that many TV viewers won't miss it.
Soon, the first episode aired, and the originally short-tempered Master Ma gradually calmed down.
After watching half an episode, it was almost lunchtime. As everyone was getting ready to get up and eat, Master Ma took out fifty yuan from his pocket and shouted to Gou Dan next to him.
