The representative of Shenzhen Satellite TV shook his head helplessly at this time, "The price is so high, aren't you worried about low ratings?"
But his competitors didn't seem to take this seriously. Gao Yu from Zhejiang Satellite TV directly raised the price to 7.5 million yuan. Anyway, they only needed to pay 3.75 million of it!
The representative of Beijing Satellite TV also retorted at this time, saying there is nothing 100% wrong.
"6.5 million"
Maybe God is blessing them. Hunan Satellite TV, Beijing Satellite TV, Jiangsu Satellite TV, and Zhejiang Satellite TV have abstained one after another!
This offer is only half of the starting price!
Zhou Yuanliang feels that the situation is getting worse and worse, and the price is getting closer and closer to his bottom line, but Zhejiang Satellite TV continues to follow like a plague god!
"5000000!"
"Hunan Satellite TV must have been pushed to the limit by Zhejiang. If the ratings cannot recover in the second half of the year, the overlord of more than 20 years will have to be replaced."
There are not many TV stations still participating in the bidding. Hunan Satellite TV counts as one, Beijing Satellite TV counts as one, and the alliance between Zhejiang Satellite TV and Dragon TV counts as one. In addition, there are Shenzhen Satellite TV and Jiangsu Satellite TV.
Zhou Yuanliang began to sarcastically say that he had single-handedly developed the domestic weekly drama market, and of course he did not want this market to end. "Lost" was his chance to achieve final redemption.
"You, Anhui TV, want to win "Lost", but you plan to swallow the elephant like a snake?"
Zhou Yuanliang is sweating slightly on the tip of his nose. If an episode costs 7 million yuan, the total price of a TV series is 175 million yuan. Even Hunan Satellite TV must pay attention to it.
He gritted his teeth and directly offered the highest price he could offer, "8.5 million for an episode!"
Gao Yu didn't expect that Zhou Yuanliang could raise the unit price from 7.5 million to 8.5 million in one breath. She quickly communicated with the people around her to see if it was a good deal.
Unexpectedly, the scene was silent, everyone was afraid of each other, and no one spoke.
After Zhou Yuanliang received the station director's instructions, he now felt more confident.
This is actually a bit wrong, because the number of episodes of "Lost" is relatively small, so the price of a single episode is more affordable!
"This is the old bastard trying to get a handle on the weight. He is determined to win."
Han Feiguang made a cameo appearance as an auctioneer. He stood below the stage with representatives from major TV stations, waiting for bids.
"These two companies are really good at grabbing money. They are determined to compete with the drama king."
"Old Zhou, you are crazy!"
Zhou Yuanliang has reached his limit at this time. He pretends to be nonchalant on the outside, but in his heart he is afraid that the other companies will bid again.
Chen Yu, the shill, was very sarcastic and performed his duties perfectly.
But no one stood up and left. At most, they talked among themselves and discussed the next strategy in a low voice.
He has participated in the auction promotion of many TV series, but the price of a single episode of any TV series has not increased directly to 1 million!
The representative of Beijing Satellite TV glanced around, and he directly gave an offer of "6 million"!
"Sister Gao, this is just a weekly drama. No matter how high the ratings of a weekly drama are, if averaged over the whole week, there won't be much left. We don't have to fight to the end!"
Everyone is happy to see Hunan Satellite TV suffer. Whoever allows it to rank first among so many satellite TV stations all year round will definitely be annoying after a long time.
"Diamond Private Theater bids 4.5 million for an episode. Ours is the best weekly broadcast platform. Some TV stations don't even have a weekly broadcast platform. Why are you trying to grab a TV series!"
The bids from their five TV stations have become slower and slower. They increased from millions to 500,000 in the early stage, and now they seem to have increased to 200,000 or 300,000!
No one here was afraid of anyone. Chen Yu snorted disdainfully, "If you don't want to bid, stop talking nonsense and waste time. If you want to bid, hurry up. If you don't bid, go ahead!"
"If everyone has no objections, our bidding will begin."
"Together, our two TV stations will give us 4 million per episode!" Gao Yu was very confident. Their Zhejiang TV station was not short of money to begin with, and now Dragon TV is sharing half of it, so they are not afraid of the price no matter how high it is.
Not only was Hunan Satellite TV caught off guard, but the alliance between Zhejiang TV and Dragon TV was also a bit shocked.
Lin Han still didn't know. This guy was definitely a shill hired by Zhongyuan Film and Television. Otherwise, how could he be so supportive and arouse the atmosphere of the whole place.
Before Zhou Yuanliang could reply, the alliance between Zhejiang Satellite TV and Dragon TV appeared.
"Any TV series has risks. Not every TV series is called "Huanzhugege". If you are afraid that the ratings will not be ideal, then why are you participating in the auction?"
As long as others give an extra 100,000 per episode, it will be of no use to me.
His previous offer to Zhongyuan Film and Television was only 1.5 million yuan. He thought the difference was not big. No wonder Han Feiguang ignored it.
Most of them spent 100,000 yuan slowly. In the first half of the year, they successfully filmed "Feng Qiu Huang", a drama with a costume heroine. At that time, the price per episode was only 3.2 million yuan.
You know, this is by no means as simple as an increase of 1 million, but a direct increase of 25 1 million!
When Chen Yu saw this, he had already given up on participating in the competition. Anhui Satellite TV's family fortune could not compare with this group of rich people, and 6 million was definitely not the end.
He raised his hand impatiently, "Since no one wants it, let's Anhui TV get a bargain! 3 million an episode."
"What's going on? It increased so much in one breath?"
The current situation is very clear. When the price reaches 6 million yuan per episode, most people will secretly calculate in their hearts whether it is worth it.
“If you can’t afford it, you can’t afford it, so why bother saying these depressing words.”
"6.2 million yuan!"
"6.8 million!"
Lin Han already knew the starting price here. If Han Feiguang hadn't tried his best to dissuade him, he would have wanted the starting price to be five million!
Gao Yu sent a text message to his partner, and Du Hongyun from Dragon TV nodded insignificantly. Together, the two families could break down even the toughest bones.
Chen Yu knew that it was not because no one bought it, but because it depended on patience and who had the feeling that they must win.
If it were to have 75 episodes like "Phoenix", the price would definitely be difficult to go up.
The starting price is 3 million yuan, and for 25 episodes, the minimum is 75 million, which is far beyond Zhou Yuanliang's estimate.
"You're right, it will be easier for them."
TV stations such as Chongqing and Sichuan Satellite TV are firmly on the Diaoyutai. They are here to auction the rights for the second round of broadcasting. This first round of broadcasting rights is just for fun!
"7 million!"
"Who knows, but it's worth the price."
This is a quasi-divine drama!
"I have to ask the station director for permission. It's probably going to exceed the budget!"
Shenzhen Satellite TV is not to be outdone. Although they are in such an economically developed area, their ratings have always been in the second tier. This year, they bought the rights to the Chinese version of "The Amazing Race" in an attempt to develop reality shows and excellent TV series at the same time!
Lin Han on the side quickly calculated in his mind that one episode was 8.5 million yuan, and a 25-episode TV series could be worth 212.5 million yuan, which is definitely a shocking price!
