Chapter 128 Bidding(1/2)
128 bidding
Before we knew it, the first season of "Wulin Waizai" has been filmed, and the post-production is about to begin.
After a break, Chen Fei returned to Yuhe Film and Television.
The post-production of "Wulin Waizai" was conducted on Yuhe Film and Television.
Chen Fei returned to Yuhe Film and Television, first, to guide the related work of post-production, and second, to prepare to sell the premiere rights.
"The Story of the Cooking Class" was played on CCTV's TV series channel through Lin Xiangdong and asked his grandfather to sue him.
"I Am a Special Forces Soldier" is much better. Capital TV came to him on its own initiative, saving him the trouble of looking for sellers everywhere.
"Wulin Waizai" is Chen Fei's third drama. He doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell this drama. What he has to worry about now is who to sell the drama to.
There are too many people who want to buy this drama, including CCTV, Capital TV, and many other local TV stations. In addition, major online video websites also send people to negotiate, so it is very troublesome to give to anyone but not to whom. This is very particular and has many considerations.
Therefore, Chen Fei has been keeping up with the drama "Wulin Waizhi" until now, and no one agrees. The biggest reason is the question of whom to give it to or not.
This time he returned to Yuhe Film and Television, and he planned to solve this problem.
Seeing him come back, Zhang Yuhe breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You are finally back."
"What's wrong?"
"There are so many people who have come to me to buy "Wulin Wai Chuan" these days that I can't even greet me. I'm a little upset. Now, when you are back, I won't care about these troubles."
"Those things are bothering, but they are also happy troubles, right?"
Zhang Yuhe laughed.
Chen Fei is right. Although so many people come to him, it is really annoying, but that is really a happy trouble. Compared to Yuhe Film and Television, which has not been found for the buyer of TV series, she still prefers to be tortured by the current troubles.
She poured Chen Fei a glass of water and then returned to her chair and sat down.
She leaned lazily on the chair and looked at Chen Fei slightly.
At this moment, she finally no longer has to hold on, no longer play the omnipotent boss in front of her subordinates, no longer has to show that she is under control in front of her colleagues. She leans on her lazily, allowing fatigue and laziness to leak out from her eyes.
She looked at Chen Fei and asked, "What are you going to do?"
There are too many platforms to buy "Wulin Waizhuan". It is difficult to decide who to sell it to or not. Even if she is the boss, she doesn't know what to do.
"Why do we have a bid?"
"Bidding?" Zhang Yuhe sat upright, and she was frightened by Chen Fei's huge imagination.
The premiere rights of the TV series are sold through auctions. Is this... appropriate?
As far as she knows, it seems that no TV person in China has done this.
But this is not because people didn't think of this idea, but because they didn't dare to do it, because doing so will create a passive situation. Whoever gives the price higher can get the premiere rights for the TV series. However, it is difficult for some TV stations or platforms with relatively high influence to give the highest price, which means that this will offend a large number of TV stations.
Now, no one dares to offend so many TV stations at the same time.
So, Zhang Yuhe was frightened by Chen Fei's thought.
She originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly she thought that others were someone else, but Chen Fei was Chen Fei. Others could not, which does not mean that Chen Fei could not, and others dared not, which does not mean that Chen Fei dared not, and that there were too many things that Chen Fei dared not say. With Chen Fei's current identity, even CCTV would not be willing to break up with him.
Why?
Because behind him is the military.
What's more, his girlfriend Yang Xiyue's influence at home cannot be underestimated.
So, after pondering for a moment, she asked, "Are you really going to use bidding?"
"Is there any other better way?" Chen Fei asked back.
"..." Zhang Yuhe's words ended.
As of now, this is the only way that is most suitable.
"Okay, then I'll go and arrange it!" said Zhang Yuhe.
"Yes." Chen Fei nodded.
Soon, invitation letters were delivered to the heads of major TV stations.
Journalists from major news media also got one.
Ouyang Lin from Capital TV also received a copy.
After reading the invitation letter, Ouyang Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This Chen Fei!"
"Master, do we want to participate in the bidding?" asked carefully.
"Yes! Of course I want it!" Ouyang Lin answered firmly.
"But... Master, so many people bid together, the purchase price of "Wulin Wai Chuan" is probably a bit outrageously high?" The purchasing director wanted to speak but stopped.
With so many TV stations bidding together, I am afraid that the price will be priced to an outrageous level. If I spend a huge amount of money to buy the premiere rights, but the final response is average, it will be a big loss.
Moreover, this time, the competitors also have big guys like CCTV. It is tantamount to snatching the premiere right from those guys, which is tantamount to snatching food from the mouth of a tiger, and the risk is too great.
After hearing this, Ouyang Lin couldn't help but frown. He stood up from the chair and walked to the window, looking out through the window with deep eyes.
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a while before he turned around and returned to his chair to sit down.
"No matter how much the price is, we must take down the premiere of "Wulin Wai Chuan"!" Ouyang Lin said word by word.
"No matter how much the cost?" The director of the procurement department stared and asked remarkably.
"Yeah." Ouyang Lin nodded: "Even if the purchase price of one episode reaches seven or eight million, you will still have to win it."
"You have to take down seven or eight million?" The director of the procurement department felt that his heart could not help but shake a few times.
In the current TV drama market, the purchase price of sitcoms is normal for 700,000 to 800,000, one million is a high price, and two million is a sky-high price.
Those large-scale costume TV series, especially the fairy tale, have higher purchase prices. Generally, it is five million per episode, and eight million is better, while ten million is a sky-high price.
No matter how good "Wulin Waizhi" is, it is just a sitcom. If it is really hyped up to seven or eight million episodes... My God, that's too crazy, right?
Calm down, the director of the procurement department felt that no matter how excellent "Wulin Wai Chuan" is, it is just a sitcom, and the purchase price of three to four million is as high as possible.
But then I thought about it again and again, it was Chen Fei's TV series. Although it had not started broadcasting, he had been hyped on the Internet. Based on Chen Fei's usual urination, it was really possible to be seven or eight million episodes per episode. To be honest, it is really not impossible!
But a broken TV series sold for seven or eight million per episode... Can it still make money? The TV station will not lose money to death? Even Capital TV is afraid that it can't stand the losses!
So the director of the procurement department felt upset after hearing the Director's words.
He looked at Ouyang Lin carefully.
Ouyang Lin's national face was steadily surrounded by two thick eyebrows. In his big eyes, his eyes were burning and not flashing, and the corners of his lips were also straight.
So he found out that Ouyang Lin had made up his mind.
Ouyang Lin was already the one-on-one who was the Capital TV station at this time and had established absolute authority. Therefore, he stopped talking about anything and just said seriously: "Master, then I will definitely try my best to get the premiere of "Wulin Wai Chuan" back."
After hearing this, Ouyang Lin said nothing, but just nodded.
The chief reporter of Southern Entertainment also received an invitation from Chen Fei.
He and his assistant looked at the invitation in a daze.
"Brother, what price do you think the premiere of "Wulin Wai Chuan" can be sold at a price? Can it break the record?"
"I don't know, but I think Brother Fei must have great confidence in his courage to do this."
"Then our report..."
The two of them naturally had to go to the on-site interview, but in order to post a report as soon as possible, they need to make a prediction about the direction of the matter, and then write the report first, wait for the scene, and then make a little modification based on the situation on the scene, and then send the news out as soon as possible to fire the first shot.
This is the experience they summarized after carefully analyzing Zhuowei's reporting techniques.
The chief reporter of Southern Entertainment touched his chin and thought for a while. He made up his mind and said, "The theme of our article is mainly based on "Wulin Waizhuan" that created a new procurement record for sitcoms."
He expressed his thoughts one by one.
"Brother, do you really think "Wulin Wai Chuan" will create a brand new record?"
"Yes, my intuition tells me that's it, and... do you remember? Chen Fei also said before that this drama will create a brand new record for sitcoms!"
"But that's just his side!"
"Chen Fei's one-sided words are often facts."
"Then...well, brother, then I'll write in that direction first!"
"Um!"
On November 2, 2010, an auction company in the capital.
The premiere of "Wulin Waizai" begins here.
Chen Fei first put a trailer for everyone, and then put a collection of excerpts for everyone.
"The premiere rights of Wulin Waizhi officially started auctioning, with a starting price of one million per episode." The host said with a microphone in hand.
"Two million." Buyer No. 3 immediately increased the price.
"Three million!" Buyer No. 8 will be the second price increase.
"Five million!" Buyer No. 15 made the third bid.
