The word-of-mouth of "Grandma" exploded and quickly swept the entire Internet.
Although the ratings for the first episode have not yet come out, they are no longer that important.
Because it has such a good reputation.
The ratings of the subsequent stories will definitely not be bad.
Many viewers said that they had never seen a TV series with such a wild imagination and so thrilling and exciting.
It’s a pity that there is only one episode a week.
It is said that there are only seven episodes in one season.
On the way back to Aunt Thirteen's neighborhood, Liu Qianqian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was delighted to see the heated discussions about "Grandma" on the Internet.
"Grandma" has become a trending topic.
She was sure that the crew did not buy any hot searches, and that it was completely due to its own reputation and popularity.
Being on the trending search list is a super powerful publicity and promotion.
Especially for those who rely on their own strength, the promotion effect will be very obvious.
This is a project led by Liu Qianqian. The main investor is a film and television company founded by her mother for her, which is cooperating with Shancheng TV Station.
So far, of course, both sides have lost money.
Because apart from selling the rights for the first online broadcast, the rest were self-produced and self-sold, and no large advertising sponsorship fees were obtained.
After tonight, things will be different.
At this time, the copyright department of iQiyi video platform, which is responsible for purchasing film and television drama copyrights, is holding an emergency online video conference.
"How much was the Internet copyright fee the last time the other party came to discuss?" the leader asked.
"Five hundred thousand," someone answered.
"One episode or the whole season?" the leader asked again.
"The whole season," someone said dejectedly.
The online conference room was silent.
"Who was responsible for watching the movie at the beginning?" The leader's tone was calm, but there was a huge anger hidden in it.
"I."
"I."
Two people responded to the leadership.
“I watched tonight’s episode,” the leader said.
The online conference room was quiet again, no one spoke.
"Who can tell me what the quality of the next six episodes will be like?" the leader asked.
After a while, the audience whispered, "Grandma is the dark chapter, and the next six episodes include both healing and dark chapters. The quality should be equally good, depending on personal preference."
"Oh." The leader said in a calm tone.
But this indifference made the people below dare not even breathe a word.
Suddenly.
The leader slammed the table and yelled, "Did you grow up eating shit? What a rubbish vision, you can't even tell good from bad, is five hundred thousand a lot? Damn it, now go buy the online copyright for me, and see if you can buy one episode for five hundred thousand. Rubbish, this is a rare horror TV series in twenty years. If I go to watch every episode in person, what do I need you good-for-nothings for?"
The rights to the first season of "Wonderful Stories of the World" have been purchased by iQiyi's competitor, Tongxun Video Platform, for its first online broadcast at a price of RMB 800,000.
This price is neither high nor low.
After all, it is the first season, and it is like throwing a stone to test the water and crossing the river by feeling the stones. Even if viewers think the content is of super high quality, they are unlikely to buy it at a high price.
All workplaces and markets have a universal standard: look at qualifications and data.
No qualifications and no historical data means there is no reference value and an extremely high risk factor.
Personal self-perception is the most unreliable. For example, some writers think that their writings are unique and the best in the world, but after reading them, people come to the conclusion that they are shit.
After the "Grandma" episode of "Wonderful Stories of the World" was broadcast, the online discussion made the people in Tongxun Film and Television's copyright department overjoyed.
They originally wanted to operate it themselves and push "Grandma" to the top of the trending searches.
As a result, before I even made a sale, some enthusiastic netizens helped to deliver it.
It was the first broadcast on the Internet, but they were informed at the same time.
If viewers want to watch the authentic version online, they need to be VIP members.
Apart from some invisible benefits, VIP membership is obtained through recharge.
Video platforms pay money to purchase the copyrights of film and television dramas, but it is impossible for them not to make money, as they are not doing charity work.
So we can only find users and make money from them.
In the Tongxun Film and Television Copyright Department group.
“The ‘Grandma’ chapter became a hit as soon as it came out.”
"It will go straight to the trending search list and will definitely be number one tomorrow."
“Haha, I made money!”
“At first I thought 800,000 was too expensive, but now even 1 million is not enough to buy the rights for the second online broadcast.”
"Buy it exclusively. Don't let anyone else buy it."
After getting scolded by their leader, the people in iQiyi Video Network's film and television copyright department have begun discussing the purchase of secondary broadcast rights.
But the people in Tongxun Film and Television Copyright Department are no pushovers. They want to work closely with Shancheng TV Station and turn the first broadcast rights into buyout rights to give competitors no chance.
If some viewers really want to watch the online version of "Wonderful Stories of the World" but only have iQiyi membership, they will have to go to Tongxun Video Network to become a member and watch "Wonderful Stories of the World" which was exclusively bought out by Tongxun.
Of course, there are also some people who will look for pirated video websites online and get them for free.
However, ordinary people either cannot find such pirated websites, and even if they do, the viewing experience is very poor.
It’s okay to have a lot of ads. There will be a one-minute or two-minute lag. People with a little spare money will never go back again after watching it once.
When Liu Qianqian returned to Aunt Thirteen's house, her cell phone kept ringing.
Most of them are message alerts, and a few are phone calls.
Just when she was trying to get closer to Yang Fan and improve their relationship, so many things happened. Liu Qianqian was very unhappy, but there was nothing she could do as it was a work matter.
She is a junior employee in the TV station's film and television center.
In her own film and television company, she is almost alone.
After answering calls and replying to messages for almost an hour, Liu Qianqian finally came out of the guest room.
Communication on TV second broadcast copyright, request for network copyright buyout, advertising sponsorship placement...
They all came to her.
Some of them were found through the TV station, based on their job responsibilities, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Some of them were found through her film and television company, and there is nothing wrong with that.
"It's so annoying. I'm not as good as a normal office worker. I have my own private time after get off work and I don't have to deal with work on the way home or on the way home." Liu Qianqian turned her phone to airplane mode. Although it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, she was still worried that there would be ungrateful people who would talk to her about work.
Yang Fan had finished his shower and coaxed Guo Guo to sleep. He said to Liu Qianqian, "You can find an assistant at the company so you don't have to handle these things yourself. As for the TV station, there's nothing we can do for now if you want to continue working there."
"My career has just started. Will hiring an assistant make my mother think that I'm pampered and incompetent?" Liu Qianqian said worriedly.
"Your starting point is the end point for others." Yang Fan patted his shoulder: "Besides, you are now standing on the shoulders of a giant. I have a suggestion for you. Quit your job at the TV station and become my exclusive investor."
