Chapter 112: Breaking the Price Record of Domestic Idol Dramas



Xiao Zhao's career has not been going well recently.

Huayi is a large company with a huge business, but its focus has always been on the film industry and top artists, and it does not care about the lesser-known artists under its umbrella.

Especially after Xiao Zhao signed the contract for two or three years and still failed to make a name for herself, Huayi naturally paid less and less attention to her. Since the beginning of this year, she has received fewer and fewer announcements, and the quality of her work has been disregarded.

At this stage in the original time and space, Xiao Zhao had become completely disappointed with Huayi and began to contact other companies.

Later, she took on the role of the female lead in the TV series "The Royal Secret Agent" starring Xu Zheng for the first time.

This drama was produced by Zhouyi, but in the end Xiao Zhao was not signed by Zhouyi, but instead joined Hairun.

After filming several dramas under or related to Hairun, Zhao chose to terminate her contract with Huayi and signed with Hairun, and was able to get the opportunity to star in "New My Fair Princess".

"New My Fair Princess" can be regarded as Zhao's key work.

She played the third female role Qing'er in the drama. It was because of this crew that Xiao Zhao finally became a little famous. She was then spotted by Si Yatou and starred in her famous work "The Legend of Lu Zhen".

But now the situation has changed a bit, that is, Wei Yang took over the Blue Whale.

Xiao Zhao, who only wanted to come to Shanghai to join her boyfriend, ignored Zhou Yi and Hairun.

She would shoot when there were movies to watch, and sit back when there were no movies to watch. Or she would follow Wei Yang's advice and sign up for an acting class. She would terminate her contract with Huayi as soon as Wei Yang was free.

So she had a lot of free time when she came to Shanghai this time. Wei Yang was busy with work, so she took care of her husband's filial piety and accompanied Wang Yunping to visit Shanghai's attractions and taste its delicacies.

The mother and daughter are inseparable every day. They go out to play, chat and cook at home, and their relationship is getting better and better.

Nowadays, Wang Yunping always mentions Xiaoying, and Wei Yang, her own son, has to stand aside.

When Wei Yang got home from get off work that day, she saw her mother wearing a new dress and admiring herself in front of the floor-length mirror in the living room.

"Wow, it has to be my mom. When she wears this skirt, she beats Gong Li and Maggie Cheung in seconds."

Wei Yang started praising him directly. Although Wang Yunping expressed dislike, she was still very happy in her heart and praised Xiao Zhao at the same time.

"This was bought for me by Xiaoying. It's said that young people have good taste. The ones I bought myself don't look good."

"No, it's because Auntie is beautiful and looks good in anything she wears. The salesgirl even said Auntie could be their model."

Xiao Zhao smiled sweetly beside her, and her words were not entirely flattery.

Wang Yunping, who gave birth to Wei Yang, a handsome school idol, is not bad looking. Usually she is limited by her environment and age, but once she dresses up, she becomes a pretty woman with charm.

Wang Yunping admired herself for a while and then went to the bedroom to change clothes. She was used to living a simple life and was reluctant to wear new clothes at home.

She planned to put it away and wear it home to show off in front of the old neighbors...

After changing her clothes, she took the time to pull Wei Yang over and whispered, "Give Xiaoying the money later. A few pieces of clothing cost several thousand yuan. How can a little girl like her afford so much money?"

After all, it was the first time for her future daughter-in-law to buy something, so Wang Yunping couldn't refuse.

When she entered the store and saw hundreds and thousands of clothes, she turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Zhao. She had no choice but to buy them, but she was determined to pay the difference later.

"You can't give her this money. How about this? You can buy her some clothes later."

"That's a good idea."

Wang Yunping was a little embarrassed: "But can I not buy clothes? They are too expensive. Clothes are just wearable. Why buy such expensive clothes? I want to return them."

It’s not that she is reluctant to spend the money, but she always feels guilty about spending it.

In her hometown, the most expensive clothes Wang Yunping bought were only two or three hundred yuan. She usually thought even a few dozen yuan was too expensive. This price really challenged her consumption concept.

"Then you can take her to buy a gold necklace or a gold bracelet or something like that, it will preserve its value."

"This one works, let's buy this one."

Wang Yunping couldn't bear to spend several thousand yuan on clothes, but she could easily accept spending several thousand yuan on gold jewelry.

"Do you have enough money? I have a card here."

"No need for you, your mother can afford this little money."

Ms. Wang is very domineering. The money she and her husband have saved over the years is not enough to buy a house, but she is not afraid of buying some gold jewelry and having a few daughters-in-law.

Thinking about this, Wang Yunping ran back to the bedroom and called her elder sister-in-law Wei Xia to discuss what specifications to buy. To some extent, this could be considered a gift for meeting the bride, so it couldn't be vague.

Wei Yang gave Xiao Zhao a thumbs up and said, "You are really good. You really persuaded my mom to buy it."

Xiao Zhao was worried: "If I buy such expensive clothes, will my aunt think I am a spendthrift?"

It was Xiao Zhao who suggested buying clothes for Wang Yunping, but it was Wei Yang who came up with the idea of ​​buying such expensive clothes.

His parents had suffered for half their lives, and he was doing well now, so naturally he wanted his parents to have enough food and clothing. But if she asked him to take Wang Yunping to buy these "luxury goods", his mother would scold him to death for being a prodigal.

But it’s different with the daughter-in-law. They have a close relationship, but she can’t be treated as an outsider at all. Xiao Zhao is claiming to be filial, so Wang Yunping can’t easily refuse.

"Don't worry, my mother is very proud. Although she feels bad, she also thinks you are filial and will definitely be happy."

Although there is a certain intention to return the favor, if you don’t really like it, you won’t be so frank and take it seriously.

Xiao Zhao finally felt relieved. Wei Yang didn't mention the jewelry and planned to give her a surprise, so he took out his wallet.

"I'll reimburse you for whatever you spent."

"No need, Auntie is so good to me, it's nothing for me to buy some clothes for her."

Xiao Zhao refused to take the money, even though it was a large sum for her, but as she said, it was her token of love to Wang Yunping. If she asked Wei Yang to reimburse her, things would become distorted.

Wei Yang did not try to persuade him much, as he knew all this well. How others treated his parents would determine how he would treat Xiao Zhao's relatives in the future.

However, although he didn't worry about the money for the clothes, he still took out a card and chuckled at Xiao Zhao's puzzled look.

"I promised to save you from the sea of ​​suffering. Now the time has come."

Xiao Zhao then realized that this was the money for her to terminate her contract with Huayi. She hugged Wei Yang and kissed him a few times in surprise and excitement, but when she calmed down, she couldn't help but hesitate.

"Will the withdrawal of this money affect the operation of the company?"

Xiao Zhao knew that Wei Yang had bet all his fortune on Blue Whale. Although her penalty for breach of contract was not much, it was not something that could be easily paid with tens of thousands of dollars.

Although she was eager to get rid of Huayi, she didn't want to see Wei Yang's career affected.

"Don't worry, I haven't been working in vain during this period. The royalties from a few books alone are enough for you to terminate the contract."

As mentioned before, as Wei Yang's fame has grown in recent days, the sales of several of his books have skyrocketed.

Especially "Twinkle Twinkle Star", due to the popularity of the TV series, the novel adapted from the drama was snapped up, and the publishing company that finally got it not only increased Wei Yang's share of royalties, but also paid a signing fee.

Not to mention that Wei Yang also has several popular songs, and he also has a share of the copyrights to ringtones.

Although the total amount of money added up is not high, it finally makes my finances less tight.

Xiao Zhao then happily took the card in his hand and kissed Wei Yang a few more times: "I will pay you back the money."

"That's not necessary. Once you sign with Blue Whale, I will squeeze you back naturally."

"Then I will, too."

Wei Yang hugged Xiao Zhao in his arms and rested his chin on his shoulder. When he took over Blue Whale, Xiao Zhao took out all his savings to support him despite being in debt. He remembered all this in his heart.

"Just wait, now that you're in the Magic City, it's time for you to take off."

Xiao Zhao had the money to terminate the contract, but he was not in a hurry to return to Beijing. His main purpose was to spend more time with Wang Yunping and cultivate their relationship.

Besides, Blue Whale is now busy with various matters related to "My Love from the Star", so she will have no choice but to wait. Anyway, considering her unknown status in Huayi, it will be easy for her to terminate the contract.

With Xiao Zhao by his side to take care of his mother, Wei Yang no longer had to worry and could devote himself to his work.

Maybe it's because family life is going well and you're having good luck in your career.

After the first screening of "My Love from the Star", in addition to the major satellite TV stations before, even CCTV-8 inquired about "My Love from the Star".

Admittedly, the price offered by CCTV was not enough to satisfy Wei Yang, and even made Wei Yang directly give up the idea of ​​premiering on CCTV.

But CCTV has a large size and special status, and its attention will benefit "My Love from the Star" to a certain extent.

Moreover, although Wei Yang would not allow CCTV to broadcast the show for the first time at a low price for the sake of money, he could sell it for the second or third rounds. After all, CCTV's audience range is there, and even if the second or third rounds cannot be broadcast in prime time, they can still enhance the influence of the TV series.

The attention from CCTV has made several satellite TV stations, which were still holding on, feel a little overwhelmed.

They are not afraid of competing on price, and CCTV is also notoriously stingy, but sometimes selling dramas is not just about price.

They have been eyeing "My Love from the Star" for so long, and if CCTV snatches it away, they will suffer a huge loss.

Shanghai, Zhejiang Province and Hunan Province have successively agreed to the competition, and several satellite TV stations in Anhui Province, Shandong Province and Sichuan Province have jointly raised their prices to participate in the competition.

Currently, the bids from all parties have reached 1.5 million per episode, but no one has chosen to withdraw.

When this news spread to the industry, Blue Whale became a huge sensation and Wei Yang became a celebrity.

After all, in the entire TV drama market, there are only a handful of projects that can be sold at this price, not to mention that they are being fought over by various TV stations.

Even well-known companies such as Tangren, Zhouyi, Hairun and Rongxinda did not dare to make this guarantee, but the fledgling Wei Yang did it.

Even with the previous achievements of Fan Xiaopang and Wei Yang as a foundation, all parties are still more curious about "My Love from the Star".

But before they could find out any news, it was revealed that the first broadcast rights of "My Love from the Star" were jointly won by two satellite TV stations from Hunan Province and Jiangsu Province.

The price is 1.62 million per episode, breaking the record for the price of domestic idol dramas! (End of this chapter)
