Chapter 1093: Finally! Finally! Finally! Got it!
Most of the heads of major TV stations were stunned when they received invitations to film screenings from the Earthling Studio.
No one knows when Earthling Studio has finished filming another TV series. Even the sample footage is out and now it’s just waiting to be released online.
The news was kept so secret that no one outside knew about the project. Yet, it was completed quietly right under everyone's noses!
If the Earthling Studio had not sent out an invitation to everyone and conducted fair bidding, but had reached an agreement directly with someone in private, then everyone might not have known about this until the TV series started to be promoted.
However, since it is still a film screening and since it is still a fair bidding, it is not too late for everyone to know about it now. At least everyone still has a chance to get this TV series.
It's just that because the Earthling Studio kept the news secret too tightly, the copyright buyers of major TV stations and video websites were unprepared and could only estimate the price based on the previous drama, "The Story of a Noble Family", to formulate their own bidding plans and price bottom line.
This makes the bidding full of a spy-war atmosphere before it even starts: everyone wants to know what the other people’s reserve price is, but no one wants others to know what their own reserve price is.
Therefore, before the film screening officially began, the heads of major TV stations and video websites had already engaged in a verbal battle, with the outcome still undecided, so they had to temporarily stop.
Because the movie screening is about to begin.
As soon as Yang Hongxia came in, she smelled the gunpowder in the conference room, knowing that all this was caused by her family. At the same time, she also understood how much trouble this impromptu film viewing party brought to the heads of major TV stations and video websites.
But this did not affect Yang Hongxia's decision to sell the TV series at a high price: because the Earthling Studio is really short of money recently! The Honghuang Universe Theme Park is an extremely expensive project. At present, it is like a bottomless pit. No matter how much money is invested, there is no sound.
There are also four movies to be prepared, each one is more expensive than the last. If they are separated, the studio will be under much less pressure if they prepare for the next movie after one is finished and released.
But now that Lin Fan is on vacation, in order to accommodate Lin Fan's schedule, we can only prepare for the four films at the same time. The start-up capital alone is a huge number.
Yang Hongxia was thankful more than once that she did not object when Lin Fan insisted on setting up his own animation studio. Now, the special effects and post-production of the movie can be completed at home, which saves a lot of money! Otherwise, Yang Hongxia would be so anxious to pay for the special effects of four movies at once!
With this in mind, Yang Hongxia smiled and welcomed everyone present: "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend our screening. The script for this play is still being perfected by Lin Fan and Wen Hongjun."
Lin Fan and Wen Hongjun!
As soon as these two names came out, everyone realized something and the atmosphere at the scene began to become heated.
Yang Hongxia was very satisfied with everyone's performance: "Yes, everyone may have guessed it. This play is a suspense drama, and the plot is absolutely high-energy. And more importantly, it is also a suspense drama of ancient puppetry!"
Ancient suspense drama? Everyone was a little surprised, because there haven’t been any outstanding TV series in this category in the past two years!
As we all know, ancient puppet dramas and suspense dramas are both popular categories in the market. Compared with simple romance dramas, campus dramas and modern dramas, ancient puppet dramas and suspense dramas have always been synonymous with large investments.
Ancient costume dramas, in particular, have a large market size, a wide audience, and are easy to go viral. They are the most popular project type among practitioners in the industry.
On this basis, adding a suspenseful plot is simply a combination of two powerful swords!
Of course, if the script is bad, it will be a failure very easily.
In short, there are pros and cons.
But then again, when has the script of Earthling Studio ever been bad?
So when the heads of major TV stations and video websites heard the news, they all raised their psychological price expectations to a higher level.
Some people were even considering whether to send a message back and ask the top management to slightly raise the price limit they had set before. But before they could make up their minds, Yang Hongxia had already finished the small talk and started playing the sample film. Everyone immediately fell silent: no matter what, they should watch the sample film first before deciding on the price.
The only thing to be thankful for is that this time, whether it was because Emperor Television was unable to make it in time or for some other reason, no representative showed up at the film screening.
Yang Hongxia had reason to suspect that Emperor TV had spent too much budget when purchasing the first broadcast rights in the previous times, so this film screening came too suddenly and there was no time to apply for the budget, so it simply missed the event.
Otherwise, if you don't have a budget and can only watch others continue to bid, and finally watch other TV stations or video websites successfully buy the first broadcast rights and walk away, how frustrated would you be?
Just ignore it and don't come.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!
But for other TV stations and major video websites, it is just right that Emperor TV is not here! Without a strong competitor, the chances of successfully winning the first broadcast rights will be greater.
Outsiders are not aware of the specific bidding process. All we know is that at 8 o'clock that evening, Shanghai Satellite TV posted a message on its Weibo account: [Shanghai Satellite TV: The ancient puppet suspense drama produced by Earthman Studio will be released on Shanghai Satellite TV soon! Please pay close attention to Shanghai Satellite TV for the specific release date, there will be surprises! ]
As soon as this dynamic came out, the super blog of Shanghai TV was immediately attacked by netizens: [Setting up a stall on the Naihe Bridge: Oh my god, what great news! Shanghai TV, you finally made a difference and finally grabbed the first broadcast rights of the TV series produced by Earthman Studio again! I thought that after "The Legend of White Snake", I would never be able to see Brother Fan's new TV series on Shanghai TV again! ]
[I am ugly but I have beautiful thoughts: This is the biggest surprise! I will have another TV series starring Brother Fan to watch. This year is so lucky. I have "Detective Chinatown" and "The Story of a Noble Family" before. Brother Fan's movie will be released next month, and this drama will be a seamless successor! Just thinking about it, I am so happy that I almost faint! ]
[It’s inevitable to take a big step and say: This drama hasn’t been scheduled yet! Who knows when it will be online? But Shanghai Satellite TV is really awesome, and we have to give a thumbs up to whoever got the copyright! ]
…
Wang Xiuying of Shanghai TV couldn't help but sigh when she saw the comments from netizens: Finally! Finally! Finally! I got the first broadcast right again!
