Some people once said that taking fixed makeup photos is just like taking wedding photos. It looks very beautiful. In fact, it is a very painful thing.
Lu Chen and Chen Feier's fixed makeup photos took two days to finish.
But neither of them felt any pain, and Chen Feier enjoyed it. Finally, she picked out a batch of original photos that had not been modified in the later stage and said that they would be publicized on her blog.
After taking the fixed makeup photos, Lu Chen and Chen Feier officially appeared in the third episode of blue life and death love.
They will be greeted by a shooting period of up to two months.
What Lu Chen didn't expect was that that afternoon, his sister Lu Xi came to Jinling.
Zhang De, general manager of Qiande brothers film, and the director of the program department of Haijin satellite TV!
That night, Lu Chen and Chen Feier hosted a banquet in the hotel where they lived.
In fact, strictly speaking, the only real guests are representatives of Haijin satellite TV.
Because "blue life and death love" was jointly invested and shot by Qiande brothers film, Chen Feier studio and Lu Chen studio, and the purpose of Haijin satellite TV's sending personnel to negotiate is for the premiere right of this TV series!
Both Qiande film and Lu Chen studio attached great importance to this. Accompanied by two general managers, they came to Jinling to meet and negotiate with Lu Chen and Chen Feier.
Zhang De, general manager of Qiande brothers film, is in his forties. He is short and stocky, with a thin eyebrow and a shrewd face. His speech is somewhat Jianghu. However, he is very polite and polite to Chen Feier and Lu Chen.
When they met, Zhang De and Chen Feier just shook hands gently and closed with a touch.
But he and Lu Chen had a strong grip and said with a hearty smile, "I've heard of Mr. Lu Chen's name for a long time. We met for the first time today. It's really a worthy name. Thank you for giving us a chance to cooperate with Qiande film!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "president Zhang is too polite!"
Zhang De said, "you should be polite. This has attracted the Golden Phoenix. Let me introduce you..."
He introduced Zhong Yue, director of the program department of Haijin satellite TV.
Zhong Yue is in his thirties and has the burly figure of a northerner. The standard national character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, with clear outline, is a positive role in the TV play.
He can sit in this position in his thirties, and Zhong Yue is no doubt not an ordinary person.
He was also very polite to Lu Chen and praised him.
Lu Chen and the two are exchanging greetings here. Chen Feier and Lu Xi have a chat over there.
Chen Feier has been to Lu Chen's studio. Of course, she knows Lu Xi. Although they can't intercede with their sisters. But there are common topics to talk about when we meet.
But this time, when meeting Lu Xi again, Chen Feier, who has always been generous, couldn't let go. A faint blush appeared on her pretty face, and she spoke with a lot of caution.
After the introduction, everyone sat down together and inevitably talked about business.
There are three or four thousand domestic TV stations, large and small, but there are only more than forty satellite TV stations. Haijin satellite TV is one of them, and its scale and strength are certainly not bad.
However, in more than 40 satellite TV stations, Haijin satellite TV has a low sense of existence.
In other words, the average ratings are not high.
Don't say compared with the popular fried chicken like Xiangnan satellite TV. Even with many satellite TV stations in southwest and northwest inland provinces, PK does not have much advantage, and there has been no trump card program.
Haijin satellite TV, one of the four satellite TV stations directly under the central government, really fell a little.
Someone has analyzed it. In addition to the problems of Haijin satellite TV itself, the main reason for this situation is that it is too close to the capital. There are two big signs of CCTV and Beijing TV, and excellent talents are often easy to lose in the past.
Leaving aside whether this statement is correct or not, the weakness of Haijin satellite TV is obvious. There are no fist variety shows with high ratings, and the popular TV dramas can't be premiered until they can only eat leftovers.
Of course, Haijin satellite TV will not be willing to degenerate. Last year, a talent show was launched with great vigour and vitality, and the ratings fell all the way. In the end, the advertising revenue is not enough to cover the cost.
Now he is the director of the program department of Tangtang Haijin satellite TV. For a TV series, I came to negotiate in person. It was unexpected, but it was not an incredible thing.
At present, big stations such as Beijing TV station and Zhedong TV station are interested in the premiere right of blue life and death love, but the conditions offered by the two are not very high, at least they do not meet the expectations of the three parties.
This is normal. If Chen fei'er is not the gold lettered signboard as a gimmick, even if Lu Chen and Qiande film take the initiative to come to the door, the two TV stations may not pay attention, and what they are willing to talk about will only be a very harsh contract.
The number of dramas shot in China every year is very considerable. Most of them can only be broadcast on small TV stations in third and fourth tier cities. The fierce competition is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Large TV stations with high-quality resources should be carefully selected and sold. Unless they are popular works of big stars, big directors or big IP, they rarely take the initiative to put down their airs and chase.
"Blue life and death love" is currently a hot topic on Langchao blog. In addition to Lu Chen's spare no effort to promote it, the most important thing is that it is Chen Feier's first TV play with a leading actress.
At present, large-scale publicity has not been carried out. Haijin satellite TV has come to the door without the idea of picking up leaks.
The ordered wine and dishes were brought up quickly. Everyone ate and talked, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The habit of Chinese people is to talk about business at the wine table. After three glasses of wine, the original strangers have become friends. Many unspeakable words can be open to talk through wine. It is a unique business culture.
During the discussion, Lu Chen learned about the first offer made by Haijin satellite TV.
Haijin satellite TV, represented by Zhong Yue, offered a buyout price of 30 million episodes of the exclusive premiere right to blue life and death.
The total of all 20 episodes is 6 million.
As an exclusive buyout, the price is undoubtedly not high, even a little low.
Because apart from anything else, Chen Feier's film salary alone will cost millions. With Lu Chen and other actors, 6 million is barely enough to pay the actor's film salary cost.
Of course, this exclusive premiere right is limited to TV stations, and the network exclusive broadcasting right can be sold again.
In addition, if the premiere is successful, the replay rights can be sold at a better price.
Many TV dramas make profits by selling replay rights.
Just such an offer has no advantage over Beijing TV station and Zhedong TV station.
But since Zhong Yue came in person, he must have come with sincerity.
In addition to the buyout price of 300000 / episode, Haijin satellite TV also offered a condition that neither Beijing TV nor Zhedong TV could get.
That is the gambling agreement to raise the price according to the ratings.
Based on the national average audience rating of 0.25%, the buyout payment price of one episode will be increased by 100000 for every 0.10% increase!
That is, blue life and death is premiered on Haijin satellite TV. If the national average ratings of 20 episodes are less than 0.25%, the buyout price paid by Haijin satellite TV is 300000 / episode.
But if it reaches 0.35%, it's 400000 / episode. It's not the top!
In addition, regardless of the ratings, Haijin satellite TV gives a minimum purchase price of 6 million.
It was precisely because Haijin satellite TV put forward such sincere conditions that Zhang De and Lu Xi, general managers of Qiande brothers film, accompanied Zhong Yue to Jinling.
Because of this price increase agreement, neither Beijing TV nor Zhedong TV will give it.
It may seem a little difficult for outsiders to understand. Such a gambling agreement is clearly a win-win agreement. The higher the audience rating, the more powerful the advertising will sell. Why do Beijing TV station and Zhedong TV station disagree?
The reason is very simple. Neither Qiande film, Lu Chen nor even Chen Feier are qualified to put forward such conditions.
The rules can't be messy.
How can Haijin satellite TV say that there are not enough coffee places in the circle, so it is naturally willing to put down its body.
The minimum purchase price of 6 million is already sincere. Raising the price of gambling is to fight!
For a weekend play, it's really not easy to reach the national average ratings of 0.25%. The increase of 0.1% is a great progress, which plays a very obvious role in promoting advertising.
After understanding the initial price offered by Haijin satellite TV, Lu Chen and Chen Feier looked at each other.
Chen Feier told Lu Chen with her eyes - the price is completely negotiable!
Lu Chen also thought so. However, even if he was very satisfied in his heart, he remained calm on the surface. He raised his glass to Zhong Yue and said, "director Zhong, I'd like to toast you and thank you for your love for our TV series!"
"It's just that I'm still very young and don't understand these things. Why don't I read the sample film first and talk about it later tomorrow?"
Business negotiation is not what Lu Chen is good at. Professional matters should be handled by professionals. If he reveals the bottom, it will bring trouble to the subsequent negotiations and put his side at a disadvantage.
Whether it is the minimum price or the gambling agreement, we can still talk about it.
That's about Zhang De and Lu Xi.
Zhong Yue's eyes flashed, raised his glass and touched Lu Chen. He smiled and said, "Mr. Lu is polite. Of course it's no problem!"
He was not at all unhappy, and even secretly sighed in his heart that later life was terrible.
Not only Zhong Yue, but also Zhang De was impressed by Lu Chen. Just now he was worried that Lu Chen was young and impulsive, and was dazzled by the terms offered by the other party. If he promised on the spot, he would be passive.
Now it seems that Lu Chen is much more sophisticated than he thought.
Lu Chen said with a smile: "in addition, sister fei'er and I will record the theme song tomorrow. Director Zhong is also welcome to provide on-site guidance and valuable opinions!"
Zhong Yue was moved: "then I must go and listen. The opportunity is too rare."
He came to Jinling not only to negotiate, but also to learn about the shooting situation on the spot. It was just a collision.
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more warm and harmonious.
