097 They Give Too Much!
Back in Yanjing, Ye Fan has to start working on the final exams and final performance assignments. However, since the post-production of "The Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" is almost completed, Ye Fan and Li Geng have to start contacting some TV stations to see where.
A TV station is interested in purchasing.
The TV station that Ye Fan most wanted to be able to broadcast was of course CCTV, but he knew it would be difficult. However, Ye Fan still contacted Zhang Xiaohai and asked him to help ask the leaders of CCTV, and Zhang Xiaohai also agreed.
In addition, except for Yanjing TV Station, which Li Geng has channels to contact, other foreign TV stations need people from Shengtian Company to go to each one with samples.
On January 5th, Yanjing TV Station was the first to reply, expressing its willingness to talk. The advantages of Ye Fan and Li Geng as locals were reflected in this.
But in the end, the plan given by the TV station made Ye Fan very disappointed. He realized that this is not the future, and the market for TV dramas is not very big. Nowadays, the TV station is a monopoly and there is no competition. TV dramas are bought according to the price per minute.
The prices are very low.
For example, in the 1990s, "Desire" was broadcast on CCTV to an empty audience, but the crew lost money. This drama took nearly a year to film in 1989, with a total of 50 episodes and a cost of 1.02 million, but in the end it only cost 1.02 million.
I recovered more than 500,000 yuan and lost half of it.
Even at this time in 1997, the situation was not much better. The price of the first broadcast rights given by Yanjing TV was only 800,000, and the broadcast was not during prime time. This plan was obviously not satisfactory to Ye Fan.
However, Ye Fan did not refuse directly, he only said that he would think about it, and then he and Li Geng left.
Li Geng thought the price was normal, and comforted Ye Fan on the way. As long as the first broadcast rights are not exclusive, they can be sold to 2-3 stores, and there will definitely be no problem in recovering the cost. If the show becomes popular, the second-round broadcast rights are okay.
Make a sale.
Of course Ye Fan knew this. He just wanted to get some money back quickly, because in June, the time for primitive accumulation of capital was coming, and he had to prepare in advance.
However, Ye Fan can only wait for the results, because the final exam will be on January 15th, and the final homework performance will be performed on January 14th. He has been reviewing at school these days. Li Geng can only contact the TV station.
To take responsibility.
A few days later, thanks to Ye Fan's fame, CCTV and other star TV stations also quickly watched the samples and gave Shengtian replies one after another.
After CCTV saw the samples, they were also very interested, but the price they offered was even lower, only 500,000, and they also had first-round exclusive broadcast rights, and the time slot was in the evening.
The TV stations in Magic City and Yangcheng are a bit arrogant. They are very interested in this drama and do not ask for exclusive broadcast rights. The prices for the first-round broadcast rights are 2 million and 1.5 million respectively.
The price offered by Yangcheng TV is low because local dramas there are more popular at that time. In addition, it is close to RTHK, and TVB TV series are enough for them to watch. There are very few such campus youth dramas, and they are just more interested.
There is no shortage of money, and the gifts are not too little.
The reason why Magic City gave the highest award is because although this drama was filmed in Yanjing, the content of the drama is more urban-style than Magic City. In addition, the protagonist's character is either rich or noble, and the conditions for small class teaching are so many schools in Magic City.
I already have it, so I gave you the highest price.
Indeed, the original filming location of this drama was Jiading No. 1 Middle School in the Magic City, and the style was also very similar to the Magic City style.
The quotations from other TV stations were not as high as these two, but some TV stations offered broadcast times during prime time, which made Ye Fan hesitate.
Taking into account the influence of CCTV, if it is not exclusive, Ye Fan can still consider the price of CCTV. Li Geng also agrees with Ye Fan's idea and also suggests that Ye Fan should not sell too many first broadcast rights. A maximum of three will be enough, and the second round will be sold.
When the time comes, you can sell a few more.
Ye Fan also agreed with Li Geng's statement, and quickly determined the quotations from Modu and Yangcheng. Although the broadcast time given by these two TV stations was also in the evening slot, there was no way, they gave too much!
On the CCTV side, Ye Fan and Li Geng took the time to visit the relevant leaders of CCTV in person. After their earnest persuasion, CCTV agreed not to give up the exclusive broadcast rights, but the fee for the first broadcast rights would also be reduced to 400,000.
Ye Fan could only agree to this condition. After all, the cost had been recovered. CCTV's influence in this era should be lower if the price was lower.
After chatting about the main business, several people started talking about other things. Taking this opportunity, Ye Fan asked about the filming situation of "Water Margin". He remembered that it was filmed in 1997, and wondered if there would be a chance to play a role in it.
.
The leader of CCTV saw what Ye Fan was thinking and smiled and told Ye Fan the situation.
After Ye Fan heard this, he stopped thinking because what the CCTV leader said made him a little disappointed. He had no chance to play a role in the 1997 version of "Water Margin".
It turns out that "Water Margin" has been filming since 1994 and has been filming for 40 months. It will be completed in March-April this year. The characters have been selected long ago. The filming is almost over. If I want to participate in the film again, I am afraid.
There is no such possibility. We can only wait for the 2011 version of "Water Margin" to start filming and see if there is a chance.
After settling the affairs of the TV station, it was already January 10th. The third round of rehearsals was at the end of January, and the time to report on the final homework was almost here.
Liu Huahua looked at Ye Fan who had returned to the dormitory, his frowning expression finally changed, and asked curiously: "Hey, Xiao Fan, why didn't you go home today on Friday?"
Ye Fan saw his expression and said with a smile: "The final exam is coming soon. I made an appointment with Zeng Li to go to the library to review in the evening."
"I see, Zeng Li really needs you to review her cultural class." Liu Huahua said speechlessly: "By the way, have you finished your final performance homework? I asked you before and you said you didn't have time to do it.
Homework is due soon, haven’t you done it yet?”
Ye Fan saw the curious expressions on his other roommates' faces and said with a smile: "I have some ideas and I'm still thinking about them. What about you?"
Cao Jun and others said they were ready, but Liu Huahua excitedly asked Ye Fan: "Ye Fan, how many people acted in your skit, do you want my help?"
Ye Fan was amused by Liu Huahua's words and said with a smile: "Didn't I hear that you and Zhang Ziyi are going to work together? Neither of you can come up with a skit?"
Hearing this, Liu Huahua said with a grimace: "If the two of us could figure out the homework, we wouldn't work together. But if it doesn't work, we are going to ask Brother Tianyu for help and ask him to help us put together a show."
Ye Fan thought for a moment and said, "My sketch may require 8-9 people."
Hearing Ye Fan's words, everyone in the dormitory suddenly became energetic. They had no doubts about Ye Fan's screenwriting ability, and the sketches he wrote must be of high quality. Even those who had already prepared their homework, such as Cao Jun, were surprised.
He kept asking Ye Fan what the content of his sketch was.
Not to mention Liu Huahua, when he heard that Ye Fan's skit required 8-9 people, he stood up immediately, ran to Ye Fan, showed a flattering smile and said: "Brother Fan, you
Just help me, brother, and lead me to act."
Ye Fan couldn't care less about being surprised at Liu Huahua's speed, and pushed his face away in disgust, and then replied: "My skit is about the art exam type. The female ones need 3, the male need 5, and the class
Is there anyone else who hasn’t finished their homework?”
Liu Huahua knew that Ye Fan must have reserved a female role for Zeng Li, so he immediately replied: "With me, Zhang Ziyi and Hu Jing, most of the male roles have been taken care of."
At this time, Qin Hao also said coquettishly: "I don't mind not getting it done."
When Cao Jun and others heard Qin Hao's words, they also smiled and asked if there were any roles suitable for them.
Ye Fan looked at these shameless roommates and said angrily: "There must be suitable roles, but there is just one problem."
Liu Huahua followed up very cooperatively: "What's the problem?"
"That means there is an important role to play my father in it." Ye Fan replied: "I'm thinking about who is suitable. After all, with my appearance, no one in the class looks like me!"
Hearing Ye Fan suddenly say such words about Versailles, the others' smiles suddenly stopped and they all cursed this pretender in their hearts.
However, Liu Huahua reacted quickly and said quickly: "It's just homework, there's no need to worry about it so much. I'll play this role. I promise to play your father well."
When Ye Fan heard this, he was very suspicious that Liu Huahua wanted to take advantage of him. He glanced at him with evil intentions and said, "You have thought about what you are saying. I don't know whether I will let you act or not."
When Liu Huahua saw that his little thoughts were seen through by Ye Fan, he was not embarrassed and said without restraint: "Brother Fan, it's just acting. As long as you let me act, you can call me dad as many times as you want, and I'll call you back."
"
After hearing this, Ye Fan was quite satisfied with his attitude, but he still replied angrily: "You are really willing to give up."
Liu Huahua smiled and said nothing. Qin Hao and others originally had this idea, but seeing that Liu Huahua dared to risk so much, they did not intend to compete with him for the role and asked about the specific content of the skit.
Ye Fan had no choice but to say that he would wait until he finished writing the sketch script and show it to them, but everyone had no choice but to give up.
After dinner, Ye Fan and Zeng Li were going to the library to review together.
When he saw Zeng Li, Ye Fan saw that she also had a sad face.
When the two were walking, Ye Fan asked with a smile: "Are you also worried about your final homework?"
Seeing Ye Fan's smile, Zeng Li's expression instantly changed to surprise and she asked: "Xiao Fan, have you finished it yet? I asked you a few days ago and you said it wasn't done yet."
Ye Fan said with a smile: "The sketch script has been written in the past two days. There are many people playing it. With your role, you don't have to worry. But I told Liu Huahua and others that it hasn't been written yet. When it comes to rehearsals,
Don't reveal your secret to me."
Hearing that his character was in it, Zeng Li immediately felt relaxed and promised Ye Fan not to spill the beans, and quickly asked about the content of the sketch.
Seeing that Zeng Li's curiosity was piqued, Ye Fan said to her ambiguously: "If you want to know the content, we will finish reviewing it later and I will take you home to read the script. I won't talk about it now."
When Zeng Li saw Ye Fan's expression, she didn't know what Ye Fan was thinking, and immediately rolled her eyes at Ye Fan.
However, knowing that the homework was done, Zeng Li also relaxed and did not refuse Ye Fan's invitation to "discuss the script" late at night. Holding Ye Fan's hand, the two of them talked and laughed all the way to the library...
Chapter completed!
