Blue Sky Satellite TV.
"People in the procurement department said that we failed to bid for "Drunk Fairy Dust". This drama is being broadcast on both Deep Sea Satellite TV and Chifeng Satellite TV. Orange Rain TV has snatched the exclusive rights to broadcast "Those Easy Loves"..."
The person in charge told the achievements of the competitors one by one, so that everyone in the TV station could not help but bow their heads.
Blue Sky Satellite TV has always been the No. 1 local station, and some central stations can't match it. It can be said that it has always been proud of the crowd.
However, with the development of the entertainment industry, the status of the boss of Blue Sky Satellite TV is not very stable.
Five years ago, Blue Sky Satellite TV had seven of the top ten TV dramas with national ratings. Three years ago, it became five. Last year, it spent a lot of money to barely maintain five. This year is approaching the end of the year, and it is estimated that there are only four parts.
Although the two-fifths score still makes countless TV stations jealous, it also means that the influence of Blue Sky Satellite TV has gradually declined.
The decline in influence means that the price of advertising investment is low, which means that their wages and bonuses will shrink.
But... But this is the trend of the times, and it's definitely not something they can reverse.
No matter how rich Blue Sky Satellite TV is, it is impossible to compete with two channels and three channels. What's more, Blue Sky Satellite TV will not give too high a price because of its perennial boss status.
Over the years, due to threats from other stations, the prices offered by Blue Sky Satellite TV have also gradually increased, but they are still not comparable to the frenzied price hikes of other stations.
Five years ago, who would have thought that the price of an IP drama idol drama would be as high as it is now
This year, Blue Sky Satellite TV spent a lot of money to buy a costume idol drama starring the popular Xiaohua Xiaosheng, and used a broken TV series to rebroadcast, but the result was silent, and almost failed to keep the basic market, including these people from the TV station. Running outside every day, I dare not stay in the stage at all.
"The New Year is coming soon. Faced with the current situation, can you give me a charter? Minister Zhang, I remember that you told me with full confidence that you would be able to grab this "Drunken Fairy Dust" at the beginning of the year, right? .”
Facing the leader's questioning, Minister Zhang could only laugh at it, faltering and hemming his excuses for being ugly.
This... The price offered by this family is higher than theirs, and he is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice.
"What about you, just watching? The TV station gives you so much salary every year, and you are all living?"
Everyone in the conference room lowered their heads silently.
This year is also really unlucky.
The newly opened variety show only kept the basic market, and I am completely sorry for the huge marketing expenses. Most of the guests at the Spring Festival Gala were poached, and they could only find the artists they promoted. And their head host unexpectedly changed jobs at this juncture, and they couldn't find a suitable host to replace them
There are so many things one after another, they have long learned to keep silent.
"Taiwan... Director." The third in command of the procurement department stood up and spoke reluctantly under the urgent gaze of the first in command, "I think we can think about it slowly and don't worry about the new year's drama."
"Not in a hurry?" The director sneered.
"Deep Sea Satellite TV and Chifeng Satellite TV are co-broadcasting the ancient costume fairy tale drama. "Drunken Fairy Dust" itself is a well-known big IP. The heroine Zhen Xianxian is the queen of this year's ratings. This drama is aimed at breaking 2 on both channels; "Those Easy Loves" is a modern idol drama. Its IP is even deeper than "Drunken Fairy Dust". , the movie already has hundreds of millions of hits... "
This is really a wolf in front and a tiger in the back. These satellite TVs almost took turns to present the most popular TV series, clearly aiming at Blue Sky Satellite TV's boss status.
"We also bought "Fighting Youth" in the station, director, do you think we want to make a new year's show?" Another person suggested in a low voice.
"Fighting Youth" is already the drama with the highest investment and the best production in their hands. They originally planned to use the show as a summer program.
"This drama is not competitive with the other ones, and its audience is more suitable for those students, so it can't be moved up." The station director slowly shook his head, "And it's broadcast, what can I use to fill in the summer slot?"
This can be found slowly.
But the staff did not dare to say such things to the director.
The head of the station is not too old now, he is only in his forties, and he has just taken office not long ago, and he is still very ambitious. When he took office five years ago, Blue Sky TV was still the big brother, and many people envied him. In terms of ability, he is better than the previous directors.
But in terms of luck, this director is much worse.
It's not that his ability is not high, but that other local stations have the support of the local government, and the money offensive is too powerful.
"Director, there is still some time, why don't we broadcast a self-produced drama and praise the newcomers?"
"Just kidding, we don't have the funds to film for you right now." People from the finance department quickly rejected this proposal.
This year, because of the dramas they bought with money, they hit the street, and their finances are tight. Where can they make more
Seeing that one proposal after another was rejected, the director became a little impatient.
"That's the way it is this year. The opening drama must not be bad. There are so many TV dramas, can't you find one?"
The deputy director of the procurement department was a little moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't have the guts.
He couldn't hide his appearance from the director.
"Deputy Li, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly." The director opened his mouth and said.
"Taiwan, Director, I'm actually just a suggestion, everyone just listen to it." Vice Minister Li has always been cautious, and it is rare to put forward his own opinions in this kind of meeting.
But Lao Zhang and him have been good friends for many years, and Lao Zhang is very arrogant. He has never asked him anything for so many years. Now it is rare to call him, and he has to give face.
In the past, Vice Minister Li would not have dared to think about it.
But this year is special.
There is a shortage of dramas on the TV station now, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Director, if it's more appealing than the leading actor, and the number of IP fans, there is nothing in our inventory that can compete with other TV stations." Vice Minister Li said softly. Originally, their TV station was bound to win "Drunken Fairy Dust", but who knew it was snatched away by someone
"That's right." The director affirmed.
"But the prices of these dramas are not low. Even if other TV stations have government support, I am afraid that buying these dramas will hurt their muscles and bones. It is impossible to have a second one."
"They are counting on the new year's drama to be a hit, to attract investment, and to relieve pressure!" the person from the finance department answered.
Everyone does it this way, and Blue Sky Satellite TV also had this idea in the beginning.
""Fighting Youth" can definitely win the championship of the summer file, but it would be too wasteful to use it as a new year's drama, and "Open Marriage" in our hands is also very suitable for those office workers to watch after the Spring Festival. A certain ratings. These TV series are not qualified to compete with other TV stations’ opening dramas, but they are much better in other schedules.” Vice Minister Li carefully analyzed the words and sentences.
"Old Li, we all know this. But we can't just show nothing in the new year's drama. Let's show the old drama. The ratings of the old drama are already very low."
"No, what I mean is, why not just take the lead and avoid this schedule?" Vice Minister Li replied.
"What's the meaning?"
"We can definitely buy a low-priced new theme drama and compete with other satellite TV. After this drama is finished, we will broadcast "Open Marriage", which will naturally save the ratings. After all, the Spring Festival The ratings of the show are just like this, we just need to give up the number of days before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and let "Open Marriage" be broadcast on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month."
"At this time, those big-produced IP dramas should have progressed halfway, and the ratings they should have have been determined, and some viewers will be lost halfway. At this time, our new TV dramas will definitely attract a lot of people. Look less."
"You mean, Tian Ji's horse racing?" The director thought for a while.
"Yes." Vice Minister Li was relieved to see that the director was not very opposed to this proposal.
"From the third day of the Lunar New Year, the series will be changed on the 16th. With two episodes a day, this TV series can only have more than 20 episodes? How can there be such a short TV series now?" the second in charge of the finance department sighed. in one breath.
"I have a 30-episode TV series here. The price is very low. If possible, the producer will hold an internal screening on our TV station. You can watch it." Vice Minister Li finally released his things and hurried out. In a cold sweat.
"Oh? Who is the starring role, who is the director, who is the screenwriter, and which company's work is it?" The third in command of the purchasing department was a little curious.
"The starring role is Mei Zihan, the director is Wen Mingjiang, and the screenwriters are Zhang Ziwen and Wen Mingjiang. There is no company producing it, and the director invested in it himself. It is adapted based on real events." Vice Minister Li wiped off his cold sweat.
"I've heard of Zhang Ziwen. Isn't he a professional accountant of CCTV? I heard that a play he edited sold to CCTV One."
"Old Li, how much did you charge? We will take over the TV series returned by CCTV? I have never heard of this starring role."
"So the price is low. It's only 30 episodes, which is very short." Vice Minister Li was short of breath.
In fact, I don't have the confidence to say this drama, the most famous one is Zhang Ziwen.
"Do you have any other good suggestions?" The director's eyes swept around everyone on the field.
Everyone fell silent.
The director rubbed his forehead, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, "Vice Minister Li, business is public, private is private, I don't mind you taking some kickbacks, but you can't be sloppy at the beginning of the year."
Vice Minister Li did not dare to speak.
"However, Tian Ji's trick of horse racing can be tried, and now we have no other way." The director changed the subject, "Why don't you just hold an internal preview meeting, and everyone can participate together. What drama do you have in your hands? Take them all out, let's take a good look. Even if it's Tian Ji's horse race, this horse can't be too weak, are you right?"
Who dares to say wrong
But just now the director said that they can also choose TV dramas to enter, and suddenly many people's minds began to move.
No matter how bad Blue Sky Satellite TV is, its basic ratings are higher than other TVs.
Many TV stations' top-rated dramas are not as high as Blue Sky Satellite TV's basic set! With such a good platform and ratings, I don’t know how many TV series are waiting to be broadcast!
As long as he releases the news, won't the money flow into his pocket
"By the way, you can decide for yourself the TV series that will be sent in this time. But correspondingly, your year-end bonuses will be halved this year, so you can't take advantage of the TV station for nothing." The director smiled, "Of course, if there is If you are selected, then the recommender's bonus this year will be doubled. Whether you want to seize this opportunity is up to you. I believe that everyone has worked in the TV station for so many years, and they still have a basic vision for watching dramas."
Everyone couldn't help shaking, and the gaze they looked at the director suddenly became subtle.
Deputy Minister Li felt that others looked at him with knives in their eyes.
Old Zhang, old Zhang, my friend can be regarded as stabbing you in both sides.
