Chapter 076: Buying the Drama

In addition to "Spyder", Lou promised that the second most favorable one is one of the two costume dramas.

The drama is called "The Great Doctor of the Great Daogong". It is a costumed mythical comedy. It tells the funny story of the protagonist and his apprentice descending to the earth to experience the treatment of patients while fighting wits and courage with the demon of the Plague Lord.

Like "Spyder", the main role-players are not very well-known in the outside world. They can only be said to be actors and cannot be considered stars.

Therefore, the production funds for these two dramas were invested in the sets and scenes.

In addition to the above two movies, one of the other urban dramas and another costume dramas eventually invited several second-tier stars, and their pay accounted for one-third of the investment.

However, the plots of the two dramas seemed pretty good to Lou Chenggong. Although the ratings may not be much higher, it should not even be able to recover the costs, so Lou Chenggong invested them together.

These four TV series that the building promised to choose from, three of which were held in Songjiang City, and the other was held in Hengdian Film and Television City, the filming location.

The TV series where the TV series trade fair was held in Hengdian Film and Television City, Lou promised to let the editor-in-chief's studio purchase department arrange someone to bid for the auction.

As for the three TV series that held the trade fair in Songjiang City, Lou Chenggong planned to lead the team to the team himself.

It’s not that these three dramas are important to come to the building and promised to lead the team to participate in the TV series auction.

The main reason is that during the days of the fair, the Republic Television and Broadcasting Association happened to have a meeting held in Songjiang. As a member of the association, he had to attend the fair anyway, so he simply led a team to the TV series.

Moreover, he has never participated in a TV series trade fair and is a little curious about TV series trade fair. This time he can also satisfy his curiosity.

"Dudu..." Just as he was thinking, the bell rang again on the landline on the desktop, and he regretted why he was obsessed with the promise of installing the soundproof door. He had no choice but to pick up the receiver and "heat".

The phone number was still Zhang Xiaoya called in, and she said: "Master, Cui Xinmin, the editor-in-chief's office, has something to report to you."

"Well...let him in."

After a moment of speech, Cui Xinmin pushed the door and walked in.

"What's the matter?" Lou Chengnuo asked.

"Director, the editor-in-chief's email address just received an email from a film and television company called Panhai, inviting us to send staff to participate in Panhai's script seminar." Cui Xinmin said.

"Oh...what is the name of the drama?" Lou Chengnuo was curious. Some film and television companies actually wanted to invite TV stations to send staff to their script seminar?

The so-called script seminar is actually a consultation meeting in which the film and television producers conduct distribution prediction and cooperation negotiations with the TV station before creating the script after they start to establish the project, and thus determine the size of the production plate.

After all, the TV station is the only buyer of the TV series, so the buyer's TV station's feedback on the script is naturally particularly important.

This involves whether the TV station is optimistic about the show and whether it is willing to invest?

Or how much money will you be willing to pay for it when it is released in the future? Who do you hope the actors will use, etc. In short, according to the feedback from the TV station, the TV series producer will control the size of the entire production plate and the proportion of the investment.

"The play is called "Snail", which is adapted from the novel of the same name by a novelist named Bullfrog. It tells a story about ordinary people experiencing various twists and turns in urban life against the background of soaring housing prices." Cui Xinmin said.

"How could they think of inviting us to participate in this script bidding meeting?" Lou Chengnuo.

"Maybe it's true that TV stations have frequently swept TV shows in the TV drama trading market recently, so let's ask about the drama." Cui Xinmin smiled and replied.

"Since Panhai has invited it, then send a specialist to the drama shopping department to take a look." Lou Chengnuo said.

"Okay...If the script of this drama is good, how much is the TV series price? We can accept it?" Cui Xinmin asked again.

"If the plot is outstanding and the total cost is less than 20 million, if you talk to them, the TV station will be able to exclusively underwrite the first round of broadcasting rights." Lou Chengnuo pondered for a moment and said.

The trading model in which the TV station intervenes in production before the filming of the TV series is completely different from the trading model when the TV producer completes the film and enters the release period.

The former comes to you and you like it. You may sell you the first round as long as you can make some money and prevent losses. The latter is very optimistic and even more optimistic. At that time, it was just a snatching drama.

Of course, even if you are booking for underwriting when you are involved in the production of a TV series, don’t think that the TV producer will lose money if the TV station becomes popular after the TV station is broadcast.

What they sell you is the first round broadcast right, not the exclusive broadcast right, nor the copyright. When you become popular, the TV series producer can sell the second round, the third round, or even the ground channel to play for several rounds.

"Okay, I understand, I will follow up in person." Cui Xinmin nodded and said when he heard Lou Promise.

"Well...and, I've read this document," Lou Chengnuo said, handing Cui Xinmin the list of TV series just now.

"I have published four TV series. In "The Tang Dynasty", you arrange for someone to go to Hengdian to attend the trade fair. For the others, I will personally lead the team to Songjiang for procurement, and you will also go to attend a meeting with me at that time." Lou Chengnuo said.

"Meeting?" Cui Xinmin said in confusion.

"For... a TV station business exchange meeting held by the TVB Association in Songjiang is mainly for communication between directors, but the business leaders of various TV station channels will also attend." Lou Chengnuo said.

"Okay, I understand." Cui Xinmin expressed his understanding when he heard Lou promised.

"Well... Is there anything else?" After Lou Chengnuo said that, he couldn't help asking when he saw that Cui Xinmin had not left.

"Ah..." Choi Xinmin remembered what else she had and said: "It's like this. The drama manager asked me to ask you whether you need to contact advertisers to attend script seminars to discuss advertising implants?"

The ‘advertising’ in Cui Xinmin’s words is not the patch advertisement that appears at the beginning, end of the credits and the advertising parts of the film when played on the TV channel.

Instead, it refers to the in-depth implantation of advertisers' products into TV plots and becoming part of the plot, including but not limited to character oral broadcasts, plot props, language set-ups, and implantation of thanks at the beginning and end of the movie.

"The TV station has not yet produced successful TV series, and these two dramas are not big dramas. You tell Ma Sheng that the crew will start producing them directly." Lou Chengnuo said.
