Liu Qiying couldn't help saying, "boss Zhang, do you know how much TV stations pay for TV series?"
Zhang Qianxiu doesn't know yet, but he knows that later several video websites, such as Youku and iqiyi, bought a few ten thousand episodes with less copyright and a few hundred thousand episodes with more. Of course, the price was higher later.
As for the initial amount of money, Zhang Qianxiu is not clear, he is not engaged in this work.
Zhang Qianxiu asked, "how much is it?"
"Generally, it's only about one or two yuan a minute." Liu Qiying said.
Zhang Qianxiu immediately froze, some can't believe: "two yuan a minute?"
Liu Qiying nodded: "yes, they have to cut off the beginning and end of the film. The beginning and the end of the film are not counted, only the positive film."
Zhang Qianxiu couldn't help but ask, "can this be returned?"
"Making TV series is basically a loss, not a profit." Liu Qiying said with a slight dislike: "it's not like places like Xiangjiang, where a star makes tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of movies."
Zhang Qianxiu couldn't help sighing: "no wonder no one in the mainland has invested in making movies and TV series now. They all lost money."
Su Yuwei said: "now the investment in TV series and movies is basically invested by the official units, and the private ones really don't invest much."
"When I was chatting with Mr. Liu just now, I heard them say that in places like Xiangjiang, these investments should be greater."
Zhang Qianxiu looked back and thought about it. It seems that it's true. No wonder in this era, there are stars from Baodao and Xiangjiang. At this time, even if the domestic stars start, they are not as popular as these two places. However, the actors and singers in this era all have a pure heart. Most of them want to make good movies and sing good songs. Without strength, they can't get along in this era.
Actors and singers, in the mainland in this era, although their income is not low, they are not so outrageous.
Zhang Qianxiu thought about it for a while, and an idea came out of his mind. He asked, "brother Liu, can advertisements be planted in TV series?"
Liu Qiying didn't respond and asked suspiciously: "boss Zhang, do you want to ask, put the TV series in the middle and insert a few advertisements in the middle? I have to tell the TV station that it's out of the hands of those who make TV dramas. "
Zhang Qianxiu explained: "no, for example! In the TV series, the protagonist is eating sugar, and the camera also captures the brand of sugar. "
"Of course, it's mainly TV series. These sweets are a prop."
Liu Qiying asked strangely, "boss Zhang, what do you want to do with this? I remember that no one seemed to do that
Zhang Qianxiu didn't know whether the placement of ads was effective or not. He asked tentatively, "brother Liu, can you find some crew to help me implant these things?"
Liu Qiying hesitated for a while and said, "I can try to contact some props artists, but it's time for them to make some brand things that boss Zhang said, but they have to invite people to dinner and give them some gifts."
With that, Liu Qiying quickly explained, "boss Zhang, I don't want any good. I just want to help."
Liu Qiying has been working with Liu Weiqin in this field for so many years, but she still has a little network. Naturally, she knows a lot about props.
Especially in today's era, TV series and movies are not very developed, and there are so many people in this circle.
Zhang Qianxiu was surprised by this, but in his opinion, he took advantage of it, so he said, "brother Liu, I won't let you suffer. I will give you two brand names, one is canned food and the other is biscuit."
"These two brands, as long as they appear once in TV series or movies, even if it's 50 yuan, I don't care how you talk to those props masters."
"The appearance can be in the form of any character eating, or giving gifts, or in the form of real objects, or in the form of advertisements. For example, they walk by the roadside, and the roadside is written with the names of our two brands, so and so cans and so and so biscuits."
"Or they can go shopping and have cans or biscuits of this brand on the shelves."
"If you say the names of our two brands in character chat, it's 100 times."
This price, in Zhang Qianxiu's opinion, is definitely over valued.
But Liu Qiying was very surprised: "boss Zhang, is it OK if the camera passes?"
"As long as these words are clear, you can see them clearly when you watch them normally." Zhang Qianxiu said.
Liu Qiying couldn't help swallowing his saliva. If that's the case, he would have many ways: "OK, boss Zhang, I'll try."
"OK, we'll keep in touch at that time. What movies and TV series have appeared several times and where they are, you tell me. I'll check them. As long as there's no problem, I'll transfer money to you immediately." Zhang Qianxiu thought for a moment, and then said, "I'll give you a thousand at that time, which can be regarded as the operation start-up fund. After all, you have to spend money to talk to someone at the beginning."
"No, I know a lot of props." In fact, Liu Qiying wanted what he wanted, but he refused to leave a good impression on Zhang Qianxiu.
In Zhang Qianxiu's view, this is a business with huge profits. If Liu Qiying can really do it for herself, she will make money.
As for the thousand, Zhang Qianxiu didn't care at all. Even if Liu Qiying didn't do it, he would have had a big meal.
"The money still needs to be given to you. We will cooperate with you and you will have some confidence. I will give you a model. Everything will be made according to the model." Zhang Qianxiu said.
Liu Qiying refused twice, but Zhang Qianxiu insisted on giving it. Liu Qiying only half hesitated and agreed.
After discussing the placement of TV series advertisements, Zhang Qianxiu held some hope, but he didn't hold much hope either, because the props master didn't control the editing, so he didn't know how much was left in the end.
But once, count it once!
Zhang Qianxiu then asked, "brother Liu, do you know the price of advertising on every TV station?"
Liu Qiying said: "I probably know some provincial-level TV stations, which count by seconds, how many seconds at a time, how long to play, and what time period."
"Most provincial-level TV stations broadcast advertisements in ten to fifteen seconds in one or two thousand years. They can broadcast them more than ten times a day a year, and guarantee to broadcast them more than three times at eight o'clock in the evening."
"One set is the most expensive. It costs about three million a year."
The price surprised Zhang Qianxiu: "why is the price gap so big? And there's no fixed time? "
Liu Qiying said: "a set of channels can be seen all over the country, with the largest number of viewers. The channels of the following provinces can only be seen in the province."
"The time can be fixed, as long as it's not the time to broadcast programs and TV. You can choose."
Zhang Qianxiu doesn't watch much TV. He really doesn't pay attention to this question: "is that so? I thought we could see it all over the country. "
Liu Qiying shook his head: "no, only the channels on the satellite are OK. At present, it seems that there are only one or two TV stations on the satellite, and one or two provincial TV stations are on the satellite, which can be seen all over the country, and the others are regional."
Zhang Qianxiu asked, "are there many people advertising now?"
Liu Qiying said: "not much, very little, sometimes, there is a gap, and there is nothing to put, take someone's advertisement to put more times."
"The price I'm talking about is still the most expensive. Three million yuan can almost broadcast all day long. Sometimes when they don't have anything to broadcast, they will put your advertisement."
Zhang Qianxiu patted his head and said, "I'll tell you how to repeat an advertisement twice now."
Liu Qiying said, "that's why they don't have anything to put away and make time."
Zhang Qianxiu said with a smile, "if you say that, they are still willing to go to them to broadcast ads?"
Liu Qiying said, "yes! One set may not be so anxious. After all, they are not so worried about advertising. If you go to the provincial TV station below, they will be very happy. "
"They can't get any ads at all. A provincial TV station doesn't have many people. There are more than 100 people, but at most there are only about 200 people. When I first joined the industry, there were about 100 people in many provinces."
This is what Zhang Qianxiu didn't expect. A TV station has so many people.
"Then I have the bottom of my mind. I didn't expect that advertising is so cheap!" Zhang Qianxiu sighed.
Su Yuwei said: "I think many businesses are too expensive. The products that can be sold all over the country are well-known. Without advertising, people are scrambling to buy them."
"What's the use of advertising for those who are not well-known and whose products can't be sold across the country? People can't buy products even if they see them. "
Zhang Qianxiu thought about it carefully. It's really such a thing.
Today's commodities are basically regional in nature, with few national products.
In this way, there is no need for people to advertise all over the country.
Besides, if there are advertisements all over the country, the goods should flow all over the country. Now the transportation is very underdeveloped. There are basically no expressways, and the railway network is not developed enough. The transportation cost is high. How can it be tossed and expensive.
However, Zhang Qianxiu is still ready to try. He will try to see if he can sell his products to the whole country.
"We can try." Zhang Qianxiu said with a smile.
Su Yuwei gently smile, said: "you can't lift a stone hit their own feet, when the time comes advertising out, things can't be shipped out."
"Step by step, let's solve problems when we have problems. I don't believe there are problems in the world that can't be solved." Zhang Qianxiu is optimistic.
Su Yuwei doesn't have any opinions about spending money. In her opinion, it's no big deal to lose money.
However, Liu Qiying was secretly surprised and became more and more sure. He wanted to find a way to develop with Zhang Qianxiu.
Liu Qiying has long wanted to go out on her own. After so many years in Liu Weiqin's hands, she has had a fairly good life, but she can't see the future.
If you have the chance to follow a big boss like Zhang Qianxiu, maybe you can make some achievements.
