Chapter 334 "Loyalty for Thousands of Years" Meng Ziyi "
I really didn't expect that the drama "Chef Fang in the Flower Garden" would be so popular." Fang
Fang said with emotion in the reception room.
When Tencent Video first took over this drama, it didn't really take it too seriously.
Although "Chef Fang in the Flower Garden" also has some "suspense detective" elements, it is still a standard ancient idol drama overall.
As we all know, Arclight Film and Television is good at suspense dramas, and they have never been seen filming ancient idols.
Including previous projects such as "The Best of Us" and "Hello, Old Times", they are all controlled by Xiaotangren Culture. Arclight just paid for it and hung it as a joint production.
So although Tencent Video gave an "A-level" promotion resource package for Arclight's name, it didn't have too many expectations for the performance of this project.
But it was such a small production that no one was optimistic about, but it became a real "dark horse" and its popularity has been rising all the way.
Less than half of the broadcast, it overwhelmed Youku's "The General Is Above" and Tencent Video's own "Seven Me" in the same period.
It was only recently that the show was about to end that it was finally surpassed by the popular "A Love So Beautiful" which became popular as soon as it was released.
Even Tencent Video was sighing that it was a show produced by Arclight, which was always full of miracles.
In addition to the performance of the show itself, there is another point, that is, I didn't expect that male audiences could also have such a great influence.
After all, the consensus in the film and television industry has always been that most male audiences will just watch the show silently and basically don't participate in the interaction.
But in fact, they are just not interested in brushing data and hitting the charts, and they are more active than each other when calling "wife".
Listening to Fang Fang's sigh, Meng Bai just smiled and didn't say much.
After all, he didn't expect the show to be so popular at the beginning.
It's just that saying this now seems too pretentious, so it's better to be indifferent, so that people think he is confident.
Sure enough, Fang Fang looked at Meng Bai's indifferent expression, and his heart was suddenly filled with emotion again.
Arclight has several hit works every year, and now this little achievement may not be taken seriously by others.
It's worthy of being President Meng!
Fang Fang thought to himself that the performance of "Chef Fang in the Flower Garden" was not as good as the previous "The Forbidden City" or the summer "White Night Chase". Moreover, for the platform, the performance of a single drama is not that important.
It's just that the contrast of this drama is too strong, so it attracts special attention.
It seems that in the future, as long as it is an arc light project, no matter what type it is, it can't be underestimated.
After sighing, Fang Fang changed the topic and started talking about the business he came here for today.
"The drama "Peace Hotel" has been discussed internally on the platform."
Fang Fang weighed the words: "We all agree with the plot quality and production level of this drama. However, if you, Mr. Meng, want to go for 'simultaneous broadcast on TV and the Internet', the copyright fee must be lower than that of exclusive broadcast."
"It doesn't matter, I understand this." Meng Bai said: "Mr. Fang can just tell me the specific price."
"4.2 million per episode." Fang Fang said.
Meng Bai calculated in his mind that "Peace Hotel" has a total of 40 episodes, and the total revenue is nearly 170 million.
After deducting the production and publicity costs, the profit is about 50 million.
And this is just online broadcasting, and the cost of purchasing the film from the satellite TV station has not been calculated. Although the price given by the TV station is definitely much lower than that of the website, the satellite broadcast is not just for money, but more importantly to expand the audience and influence.
This price is higher than what Meng Bai expected at the beginning, so he did not bargain and agreed directly.
As for other specific details of the cooperation, such as copyright period, publicity and promotion, etc., naturally there are people below to discuss.
"I wonder which satellite TV station Mr. Meng plans to cooperate with?" Fang Fang asked casually.
"We just started talking with the TV station, and it has not been determined yet." Meng Bai joked: "It must depend on which one has better conditions."
"In fact, several first-line satellite TV stations have internal communication, and there will be basically no big difference in price." Fang Fang reminded: "The TV drama market has been developed for 20 years, and the water here is much deeper than that of online dramas. Mr. Meng still needs to be more careful."
"Thank you Mr. Fang for reminding us, we will pay attention."
After talking about business, the two exchanged a few words, and Meng Bai got up to see him off.
When we were taking the elevator downstairs, Fang Fang casually mentioned that Tencent Video was preparing a variety show called "Female idol group selection" for next year.
"I remember that Arc Light has also signed new people, right?" Fang Fang said, "If there is a suitable candidate, I can help recommend them."
"We are basically actors and have not paid much attention to idols." Meng Bai smiled and responded, and then asked curiously, "Does Tencent want to form a female group? There doesn't seem to be much market in China for this."
Meng Bai had also paid attention to some Korean and Japanese groups before, such as Girls' Generation, T-ara, AKB, and Nogizaka. After all, who doesn't like a group of young girls dancing?
I remember that there have been many imitators in China in recent years. For example, Zhejiang Satellite TV once invited Wu Qilong and Xie Tingfeng to shoot an idol selection variety show called "Bee Girls Team".
In the end, although many people were selected to form a group, there was basically no splash.
If there is really a success, it is SNH48, which became independent after leaving the AKB system. Although it has never been a big hit, it has always been doing well.
There is a saying in the fan circle: when you suddenly find a girl in the domestic entertainment industry whose name you have never heard of and whose works you have never seen but who looks good, she is most likely from Seine.
In fact, the preferences of the main audiences of the domestic entertainment industry have determined that it is difficult to create a similar idol model.
SNH48 can survive mainly because of the theater model and the setting of "face-to-face idols", which makes many fans willing to pay for tickets.
As for idols like Korean groups, it is basically impossible.
Firstly, the preferences of the mainstream audience of domestic entertainment determine that not many people particularly like to watch singing and dancing, and the other is the lack of a dedicated stage for singing and dancing.
You can't let these idol groups debut on Kuaishou, Douyin or Bilibili. It's better to just do a live broadcast, maybe there will be a few big brothers to send rockets or something.
"The platform doesn't want to form a girl group, it just wants to make a show." Fang Fang explained: "Of course, if the girl group formed in the end is popular, then the operation will still be carried out."
"What's the name of this show?"
"'Produce 101', it's probably about selecting 101 girls, gradually eliminating them based on the audience's popularity votes, and finally leaving 11 people to debut as a group."
"It sounds a bit like 'Battle Royale'." Meng Bai smiled and said: "It's a pity that Arclight has never signed any trainees or the like."
"It doesn't have to be professional trainees. I heard from the people in the variety show department that because SNH48 is not participating and there are too few other idols in China, they have relaxed some restrictions on the selection of people. New actors who have just debuted, internet celebrities, bloggers, singers and dancers are all within the selection range."
It can be seen that this show is indeed short of people.
Arclight doesn't have any newcomers, but Taiyang Chuanhe does have MCN-type businesses. I can talk to Yang Ming later to see if he has any suitable candidates.
Meng Bai made a note of it casually, but didn't take it too seriously.
The group walked to the lobby on the first floor. Meng Bai glimpsed a figure next to Yang Chaoyue at the front desk. As soon as he saw him, he squatted down stealthily and hid.
He sent Fang Fang away calmly, and then walked slowly towards the front desk.
Seeing that Yang Chaoyue seemed to want to make some moves, he immediately glanced over, and the little girl was so scared that she quickly stood up and dared not make any small movements.
Meng Bai walked to the side quietly and looked inside. Sure enough, a girl was squatting in a ball.
In fact, there was no need to look, there was only one person who could do this.
Meng Ziyi lay at the feet of Yang Chaoyue, carefully pulled the other's clothes, and lowered his voice: "Why is there no movement? Is everyone gone?"
"Who are you waiting for here?"
"Nonsense, of course..."
Hearing the familiar voice, Meng Ziyi paused, and a cold sweat slid across his forehead.
Her mind raced, and she immediately continued, "...Of course it's my handsome, gentle, and especially good uncle!"
After saying that, she pretended to turn around casually, and saw Meng Bai who was looking at her with a smile, and immediately showed a surprised expression: "Hey, uncle, when did you come? I was picking up things downstairs just now, and I didn't see you."
"Didn't you see it, or didn't want to see it?"
"Hey, when you say that, how could I not want to see it." Meng Ziyi said with an expression of "Look how sincere I am".
Meng Bai was too lazy to tell her the truth, and asked directly: "Why are you here? Aren't you going to join the group recently?"
"I'll go there next week, and there are still a few days." Meng Ziyi glanced at Yang Chaoyue on the side, and said with a stiff upper lip: "There is something I want to ask you, uncle?"
"What is it?"
"Well, to be precise, Chaoyue actually wants to ask you something." Meng Ziyi sold out his little friend without hesitation.
"Xiao Yang is looking for me?" Meng Bai was stunned, then recalled: "Oh, yes, you seemed to have said some time ago that you had something to ask me, right?"
"Yes, boss." Yang Chaoyue nodded cautiously, "Things are a bit complicated, it can be done when you are not busy."
Many people are like this, even if the words are on the tip of their tongue, they still want to escape again.
"Ha, how complicated can it be?"
Meng Bai laughed, and then looked at Meng Ziyi who was standing there obediently: "Then what are you going to do?"
"I'm accompanying my sister."
"Okay." Meng Bai gave her a thumbs up, "Girl, you are loyal!"
"Of course!" Meng Ziyi proudly puffed out her chest and raised a rather curved curve.
You are still proud. Meng Bai glanced at her, thought for a moment, raised his hand to check the time, and said to the two of them: "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. I just happen to have
nothing to do today. Do you two have time tonight?" "No problem." X2
"Okay, then you two treat me to dinner tonight, and I'll listen to what's going on."
"No problem!" Without waiting for Yang Chaoyue to speak, Meng Ziyi agreed immediately.
But then, she suddenly reacted: "Wait a minute, why are we treating?"
Meng Bai said calmly: "Little girl, uncle will teach you a lesson today. When you ask others for help, at least you have to treat them to a meal."
Yang Chaoyue on the side hurriedly said: "It's my duty, boss, I'll do it."
"No need." Meng Bai waved his hand and pointed at Meng Ziyi, "Let her do it."
"Why?" Meng Ziyi tilted his head and widened his eyes.
"Because you are loyal!"
