Chapter 337 This time we'll start with a king bomb
Wang Bao was indeed a little surprised, or rather a little confused.
In his opinion, Hongxing TV should have no money.
Generally speaking, for a second-rate satellite TV station like this, how could they be so rich?
Perhaps as the ratings of "Soldier Assault" continue to soar, the number of advertisements will gradually increase.
But no matter how much more it is, 120 million cannot be considered a small amount.
"Hongxing TV is a bit inflated."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Bao muttered to himself.
"What's wrong??"
At this time, Yu Xiaoshu knocked on the door and came in. He happened to see Wang Bao in this state and said in surprise: "Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you?"
"Haha, it's okay. I just received a call from Hongxing TV, saying they want to hold a celebration party. I said we'll hold it after the finale of Soldier Assault."
Wang Bao laughed and said, "Then we just happened to talk about the issue of our final payment. As a result, hey, guess what?"
Yu Xiaoshu frowned: "What's going on? Doesn't Hongxing TV want the final payment?"
"No, it's Guo Dong who's talking about this little money..."
Wang Bao smiled and explained: "So I feel that Hongxing TV is a little inflated?"
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently: "Yes, this Hongxing Satellite TV has indeed expanded."
Good job.
Who do you think your Hongxing TV is?
This directly turns 120 million into small money? ?
Even for Star City TV, 120 million is not a small amount of money.
In fact, both of them misunderstood.
It’s not that Hongxing TV doesn’t take the 120 million seriously, but that they have completely forgotten about the 120 million.
Because after signing the contract, both Guo Dong and other people from Hongxing TV had forgotten the gambling agreement signed between Hongxing TV and Baiqian Media.
After all, it was too exciting.
Not only Wang Bao and Yu Xiaoshu were surprised, but Guo Dong also felt a little surprised.
The scale of Baiqian Media is a bit small.
How could Hongxing TV possibly default on the final payment?
You should know that Hongxing Satellite TV has always been a second-rate TV station. It can be said that basically everyone has ignored Hongxing Satellite TV, but in fact, Hongxing Satellite TV itself is also desperate about itself.
How does it feel?
It's like when you can't get an erection no matter how many pills you take, then you have voluntarily given up on Buddhism.
This is the case with Hongxing TV.
It is hard for anyone to believe that Hongxing Satellite TV can achieve a viewership rating of over 5. Moreover, it is not only that Hongxing Satellite TV has set such a record, but more importantly, Hongxing Satellite TV has told other satellite TV stations a possibility.
That is, as long as the TV series is good, maybe even a crow can turn into a phoenix.
Under such circumstances, other second-rate TV stations began to look for good TV series one after another.
How to say it?
If Mr. Wang next door can cure it, then so can I.
Therefore, it can be said that the era where scripts are king has further arrived.
At the same time, Guo Dong from Hongxing Satellite TV came to the deputy director's office to report the situation.
"In three days, Soldier Assault will be concluded. We will hold a celebration banquet and broadcast it on our satellite TV station. This will surely increase the popularity of the show."
Guo Dong said with a smile: "At present, the station also needs to promote it as soon as possible, and strive to make a bigger breakthrough in the finale of "Soldier Assault"."
This is actually a good thing.
Just yesterday, Li You, deputy director of Hongxing Satellite TV, was still quite excited.
But what happened today? ?
Guo Dong saw that Li You's face didn't look happy at all, which made Guo Dong a little puzzled.
What happened to the deputy director?
It's obviously a good thing.
Why does this look like this?
"Li Tai, what's wrong?"
Guo Dong had to ask.
In Guo Dong's opinion, our Hongxing TV station has broken the record and created history.
What are you doing? ?
Not happy at all?
Or are you being hypocritical?
Li You sighed: "I am quite conflicted now. I hope that "Soldier Assault" can break a big record, but I am also afraid that "Soldier Assault" can break a big record."
"Huh? Why??"
Guo Dong was puzzled.
Li You looked at Guo Dong and shook his head and said, "Xiao Guo, did you forget the contract you signed?"
“The contract I signed??”
Guo Dong was stunned: "What happened to the contract I signed? ? "
"Have you forgotten that the contract we signed includes a ratings bet? For every point increase in ratings, the price per episode will increase by 1 million."
As soon as Li You finished speaking, Guo Dong's brain seemed to explode.
Oh my god.
How could I have forgotten this?
Yes.
The original contract was indeed a bet on ratings, but at that time, who at Hongxing TV dared to say that their ratings could exceed 5?
How is it possible? ?
Guo Dong, as well as the leaders of Hongxing Satellite TV, like Li You and others, all felt that if the ratings could at most break 1, that would be considered a blessing.
The result is this.
Now the ratings have plummeted.
The most important thing is that they signed a ratings bet.
No matter what, this kind of ratings bet must be fulfilled.
What a result.
If this is to be fulfilled, the pressure on Hongxing TV will be extremely great.
Star City TV is a big company, so they may not care much about taking out 120 million yuan, after all, their advertising fees and endorsements are quite high.
But Hongxing TV's investment of 100 million yuan will really cost them a lot of money.
No wonder.
No wonder Wang Bao called me and asked if I had any difficulty with the final payment, and if not, I could pay it in installments.
I still think there is something wrong with Wang Bao.
It turns out that the clown is myself.
Guo Dong's mood now is similar to Li You's.
It's good to have good ratings, but if the ratings break the record again on the last day, they will lose a lot of money.
"Then Li Tai, what should we do next? This matter is my fault..."
Guo Dongxian took the initiative to admit his mistake.
After all, he has to take the blame even if he doesn't want to.
"Don't blame you. Forget about you. I didn't expect that Hongxing TV could become so strong."
Li You waved his hand slightly and said, "But you should communicate with Baiqian Media first. After all, the finale hasn't started yet, and we don't know what the real ratings are. However, I think we can auction off the ads for the last episode of "Soldier Assault" first, and the ads for the next few days must be auctioned at a higher price..."
Obviously, Hongxing Satellite TV must act in accordance with the contract. Besides, the great success of the TV series "Soldier Assault" finally allowed Hongxing Satellite TV to turn things around.
Just based on this, how could Hongxing TV really break up with Baiqian Media?
They are not fools.
In addition, we also need to be cautious about a sum of more than 100 million yuan. After all, this amount of money is not a small sum.
So, Guo Dong, who was in charge of contacting Baiqian Media for Hongxing TV, contacted them again.
In short, they didn't intend to not pay.
But what about now? ?
They really don’t have enough money now.
In this regard, Baiqian Media is also very considerate. Wang Bao said: "Don't worry, there will be many more places for us to cooperate in the future."
In Yuanxing, buying a TV station is not an easy task. Even some large production companies find it unreliable.
Another more important point is that it is useless to buy a small TV station, because nowadays the world is dominated by video websites, and even some medium-sized TV stations have begun to save themselves. How can other people be willing to buy TV stations at this time? ?
Even though Hongxing TV has made a slight comeback thanks to "Soldier Assault", it will not have any impact on its future.
Apart from anything else, take a look at Qidong TV. The ratings of Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves broke numerous records before, but what about now? ?
It still doesn't work.
Qidong TV is indeed very regretful. For them, they could have completely obtained the TV series "Soldier Assault". After all, the cooperation between Qidong TV and Baiqian Media was quite good before.
What is the result? ?
As it turned out, Qidong TV did not buy "Soldier Assault", as everyone knew.
It's obvious that they think "Soldier Assault" will flop.
Then, another drama bought by Qidong TV was a complete flop.
And it was a clean and tidy failure.
Yes, the ratings didn’t even break 1.
On the contrary, let’s take a look at the ratings of "Soldier Assault" broadcast by Hongxing Satellite TV.
What else do you need to say?
In fact, in addition to Qidong TV, Qixi TV is also regretting its decision.
For them, if they were braver, they would definitely be successful.
This is beyond doubt.
It can even be said that when Qixi TV was first broadcast, Qixi Satellite TV actually had such a plan, but seeing the popularity of "Soldier Assault" they gave up.
What you are giving up is a treasure mountain.
It’s really a treasure trove.
As for the first-tier satellite TV stations other than Star City TV, they also have complicated feelings at this time.
Quite complicated.
If they took a look at "Soldier Assault", if they didn't have a little conflict about this military drama, if.
But there are not so many ifs in life.
Next time when Yu Xiaoshu’s TV series is finished, the people at these TV stations will also make a careful choice.
This is the norm.
Just get used to it.
Yu Xiaoshu didn’t think that he had created a magical military drama in the TV series, so he could do whatever he wanted next.
Impossible.
Today Yu Xiaoshu came to see Wang Bao to discuss the next plan of Baiqian Media.
“Getting into movies so soon??”
Wang Bao frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Shu, you have to know that movies are completely different from TV dramas and web series. First of all, whether it is the screenwriter or the director, the level of movies is higher, and the big screen will definitely make more money. But unless you have enough accumulation or fame, you may fail if you rush into the film industry."
This is indeed true.
On Earth, the quality of movies is higher, and many directors initially want to be film directors, while some actors just hang out in the film industry.
How to say? ?
Many people think that movie actors and directors are of high quality. However, as some movie actors filmed TV series and then gradually failed, their acting skills were greatly questioned, as if they were gods who had descended to earth.
As for the big directors who shoot online dramas or TV dramas, not to mention, most of them have failed.
But on Yuanxing, this road has basically not yet arrived.
Currently, online dramas, TV dramas, and movies still belong to three circles, and the contempt chain of the three circles is in order.
In such a situation, Yu Xiaoshu has made his way from online dramas to TV dramas, and now is he preparing to move into movies?
Would the question be a bit quick?
But Yu Xiaoshu was not worried about this problem at all.
Nothing else to say.
But he knew that there was no difference in high and low among these circles. In Yu Xiaoshu's opinion, what was strong and weak?
They are all similar.
What's more important is that Yu Xiaoshu had already made some exposure to the market with two online movies, "Hard Candy" and "Léon: The Professional".
In Yu Xiaoshu's opinion, since online movies can be successful, movies can also be successful.
Besides, Yu Xiaoshu is not planning to start with a small budget for this movie.
The reason is simple.
That is, he has already reached this level. If he enters the game with a small cost, it will weaken the morale.
So Yu Xiaoshu was prepared to throw a big bomb right at the start.
"Okay, since Xiaoshu thinks it's okay, then let's do it."
Wang Bao thought for a moment and said, "If you want to promote it in advance, I think we should just do it at the celebration party for Soldier Assault."
Yu Xiaoshu thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."
"But have you decided who to invite as the actor this time? Are you going to use Baiqian Media's actors?"
Wang Bao frowned and asked, "And what kind of subject are you going to shoot?"
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "It should be said that this is a big-move movie, but the script hasn't been written yet, so there's no rush."
"That's fine."
Wang Bao nodded gently: "Let's talk about it after I finish writing the script. If you need my cooperation, please let me know in time."
"You don't need to work on movies for now, but Uncle Wang, you may need to pay more attention to the TV series next time, because we have a lot of projects starting up at once."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly and said, "Although I am planning to enter the film industry, let's just do it step by step for now, especially in the area of TV series. You just need to keep an eye on this aspect."
It is better to leave professional matters to professionals.
In Yu Xiaoshu's opinion, Wang Bao is currently in charge of the work on the next few TV series, which can be said to be also a top priority.
As for Yu Xiaoshu.
Just write the next movie script.
