Chapter 57 The Season of Harvest

"Is it director Jiang Liujiang who directed "Wulin Gaiden"?"

"I am Jiang Liu, and you are Teacher Cui?"

"It's me. I'm calling you because I was asked to ask about the price of the first-round broadcast rights of "Wulin Gaiden"."

"Teacher, I won't hide it from you. The Zhejiang TV Station next door to Jin Province has offered 5 yuan per episode in order to grab the right to premiere."

"Okay, I'll call my friend. You don't need to pay attention to my phone number. The price will be whatever it is."

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I am the purchaser of TV dramas from Mango TV. We would like to know the quotation for the first broadcast rights of "Wulin Gaiden"."

"7 yuan per episode."

"Okay, bye."

"Jiang Liu, I received a task from the station to ask you for a quote for the second and third round broadcast rights of "Wulin Gaiden"."

"Ji Province also wants it? We'll have to wait until the first round of broadcast rights are sold to find out."

"Hey, okay, you go ahead and get busy, I'll get back to the leader."

On the set of "Wulin Gaiden", Jiang Liu threw his phone to the staff and rubbed his temples.

It has been ten days since Taiyuan TV Station's "People's Channel" finished broadcasting "Wulin Gaiden".

However, the industry's attention to "Wulin Gaiden" has not decreased but increased.

As of today, the 20th, six TV stations have reported high prices of 4 yuan and 5 yuan per episode to Yixin and the Shanxi TV Drama Production Center respectively.

At 5 yuan per episode, the entire drama is worth 380 million yuan.

Even the Shanxi Provincial Television Station was tempted by the price of the first-round broadcast rights of "Wulin Gaiden" and did not mention the premiere in the province at all.

Instead, he put more energy into urging Jiang Liu to film.

He also worked with several TV stations seeking the right to premiere "Wulin Gaiden" to push the price of the series to the extreme.

"I'm back, how are things going?"

Xing Aina showed the folder in her hand: "Fortunately, I got the necessary documents and trademarks before the New Year holiday. We have also negotiated with Liu Zhenyun. He is now a contracted writer of Yixin, and his novel Yixin has priority for adaptation. right."

"Ning Hao has found a good assistant."

While feeling emotional, Jiang Lu opened the folder and took out a pile of documents.

"Wulin Gaiden" brand trademark and cartoon character image.

"External Objects" commercial classification trademark, "Wulin Gaiden" prequel, postquel, left biography, right biography, main story, games, dramas, stage plays, sketches, etc.

In addition, there is Gengtian Gong herbal tea: brand trademark
Gengtian Gong herbal tea filling trademark: blue and white

Gengtian Public Advertising Trademark: Afraid of getting angry, drink.
"That's about it."

After getting the trademark he had longed for, Jiang Liu was happy and rewarded Xing Aina: "Anna, you can go home for the New Year holiday today. Of course, Ning Hao can't take it away."

Xing Aina smiled and refused: "Forget it, the whole company is busy, how can I take a vacation alone? If the boss feels bad, please pay more."

Jiang Liu nodded and said, "Definitely, but we have to wait until "Wulin Gaiden" is sold."

Speaking of the premiere rights of "Wulin Gaiden", Xing Aina has a headache.

Her position in Yixin is considered to be manager level, just below Jiang Liu.

She knew that the reason why "Wulin Gaiden" could not be sold was not because the drama was not easy to sell.

But Jiangliu and Jin Provincial TV stations are too dark and cannot meet the price of 5 yuan per episode.

She has been paying attention to the TV drama market in the past six months, and she is very aware that the price of a TV series worth 5 yuan per episode has reached its peak, and Naihe cannot make the decision.

"Do you really want to wait until the TV station reaches 6 episodes?"

Jiang Liu shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. If CCTV is willing to pay 5 yuan per episode for the right to premiere, we will sell it."

"It's difficult. CCTV has no shortage of big dramas. The 10-dollar episode of "The Swordsman" frightened local stations so much that they didn't sell it. They kept it for their own use and will start broadcasting in March or April." "Don't worry, there are still a few days. It’s the New Year, and all stations are preparing to welcome the New Year, and the big drama will be staged after the new year.”

Jiang Liu understood Xing Aina's worries.

But he determined that "Wulin Gaiden" would become a national hit.

Therefore, either the local stations buy the dramas at a high price, or CCTV takes action and uses the only viewing platform in the country to reduce part of the price.

"Okay, you are the boss and listen to you."

Xing Aina turned away regretfully and took out her cell phone that kept ringing.

"What? Really? OK, OK!"

Jiang Liu, who was about to leave, stopped and frowned at the startled Xing Aina.

"CCTV has made a bid, 4 yuan per episode, and it will be broadcast on CCTV's eight TV drama channels for the first time." Xing Aina looked at Jiang Liu and said excitedly.

"Director Yao's phone number? Call him back and tell him to agree to CCTV. The price for the second-round broadcast rights of "Wulin Gaiden" can also be negotiated, but it should not be less than 3 yuan."

"it is good."

Xing Aina picked up the phone again, while Jiang Liuze and Gao Damao, who hurried over, said, "Brother, Director Yao's phone number, I'm calling half of it."

"You go ahead and do it. After you do it, remember to prepare more hard dishes. We all have to celebrate the New Year on the set. Don't make the New Year's Eve dinner too shabby."

Jiang Liu said happily.

Back on the set, Jiang Liu took over Ning Hao's guide tube.

The crew received more and more good news about "Wulin Gaiden", people were a little impetuous, and only he could suppress it.

He also wants to finish filming "Wulin Gaiden" quickly.

More and more people are putting a curse on him.

But he still follows a principle, don’t be afraid of being late for a good meal!

"Wulin Gaiden" is sought after by TV stations and local young people in Taiyuan. The unique charm of "Wulin Gaiden" alone is not enough, it must be well-produced.

Jiang Liu's determination to shoot every scene well affected the entire crew.

In the next few days, the footage of "Wulin Gaiden" increased rapidly and well.

The guest actors were the ones that delayed the entire crew the most.

Before the release of "Wulin Gaiden", the crew looked for famous actors to make guest appearances, but no one wanted to come.

"Wulin Gaiden" gained a lot of reputation, and after the premiere rights were bought by CCTV, the crew invited famous actors to be selected.

There were even actors who braved the severe cold and drove to the set to guest star on the day before New Year's Eve.

For example, Fan Binbin is wearing makeup and will be guest-starring Sai Diaochan.

Jiang Liu did not look down on the guest actors with his eyes like other actors in the crew.

This is the film and television industry and the entertainment industry.

In Vanity Fair, "Who is popular and who plays" is not just a word, but a real practice.

If you want to get ahead in Vanity Fair, you have to be shameless, and you have to have the courage to take down the emperor even if you want to be killed.

"Binbin, Sai Diaochan has a very distinct character. She is greedy, shameless, and scheming. After Tong Xiangyu redeemed her, she finally changed her mind and abandoned evil to do good."

"Her specialty is tax evasion and her love of talking. If you grasp these key points, your performance will be fine."

Before filming started, Jiang Liu once again chatted with Fan Binbin about the role of Sai Diaochan.

"Director Jiang, I'll try my best." Fan Binbin pursed her lips and said charmingly.

Jiang Liu nodded happily and said, "Well, okay, your acting skills are not bad, at least better than that Lin Xinru. Act with confidence."
