Chapter 356: Shocking Statement (Part )

The screenings for "The Captain" and "The Disguiser" were held on the same day.

This year is special, so these two main-theme dramas have naturally attracted much attention.

Which major TV station doesn't want to trample mango under their feet?

But compared to Kang Honglei's "The Regiment Commander" which was sought after by major satellite TV stations.

Tian Zhuangzhuang's "Lush" seems to have received little attention.

In the end, the first broadcast rights of "The Regiment Leader" were sold to four satellite TV stations at a sky-high price of 100 million per episode.

The cost was basically recovered in the first round.

Because "Soldier Assault" laid a solid foundation.

Therefore, the sales model of "Team Leader" adopted the innovative 4+4+1 bundled sales.

Four companies in the first round, four companies in the second round, and one company in the third round.

In this way, the second and third rounds of sales are basically all profit.

This is unlike "Chinese Paladin 3" which was exclusively broadcast in the first round, so it could be sold at a sky-high price of several million per episode.

Yu Miao found Li Chen and reported the embarrassing situation of "The Hidden" to him.

"Only one local TV station is willing?"

Li Chen was speechless. He felt that "The Disguiser" was much better than "The Captain".

Why are all the producers of these TV stations so blind?
However, the popularity of "The Disguiser" in its previous life seems to be similar to that of "Soldier Assault", which also relied on word-of-mouth to make a comeback and was passed on by word of mouth by the audience.

Finally, it was noticed by various satellite TV stations.

"Yes, Director Li, the ratings for spy war dramas were capped before, so..."

"So everyone is here for "The Captain" this time?"

Li Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was this considered buying the casket and returning the pearl?

Yu Miao nodded, this was indeed the case.

Li Chen asked Yu Miao to wait a moment, picked up the phone and dialed.

The call was answered quickly.

"Zhongtai, have a good year"

Ten minutes later, Yu Miao left Li Chen's office.

I secretly sighed that the boss is really awesome.

Sold to Blueberry TV for 50 per episode.

But where does the boss's confidence come from? What if the ratings of "The Hidden" do not meet expectations?

This time, the boss is betting on the first round of satellite broadcasting rights of "Crossing the Guandong 2".

The film purchasing director of Blueberry Channel was surprised when he received a call from his boss.

Sina Entertainment News

“After a year of waiting for media and audience tracking.”

"The annual TV drama "My Captain, My Regiment", performed by the original crew of "Soldier Assault", will finally be jointly premiered on four satellite TV stations including Jiangsu Satellite TV, Dragon TV, Beijing Satellite TV and Yunnan Satellite TV on March 3."

"It is reported that this time, "Team Leader" was jointly bought by four satellite TV stations at a price of one million per episode. In this regard, the TV stations and Rongchen Films have not responded."

Beijing News
"The spy drama "Hidden" directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang will also be broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV on April 4."

"According to Blueberry TV staff, Blueberry TV bought the first round of exclusive broadcast rights for "Insidious" at a high price of 50 per episode."

"Blueberry TV and director Li Chen are very optimistic that "Insidious" will be another "Soldier Assault"!"

This ad is really clever.

Li Chen felt like he was being tricked by Blueberry Channel.

Netizens left polite comments, and if they didn’t like it, they sent greetings to Leo and his family.

The next day, the number of people in Sina's live broadcast room increased at a speed comparable to a stopwatch.

I believe that among these hundreds of thousands of online netizens there are certainly many celebrities and insiders from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

The live broadcast has not started yet, but netizens’ comments are already full of tension.

"Leo criticized the Hong Kong industry today, just like he criticized "Jewel in the Palace" back then. I'm going to skip work to show my support!"

"Only Leo and his artists in the mainland dare to speak up for female stars." "I don't believe he dares to criticize Chow Yun-fat. Don't be dissatisfied. We Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are superior to you!"

"Zhang Ziyi picked up grapes for Chenglong. Your international Zhang is awesome!"

Yang Siwei has been paying attention to the messages in the live broadcast room.

"Boss, there are too many people. Will anything go wrong?"

"What can happen? It's just that more people will scold me, and maybe even more people will like me."

Inside the black car, Li Chen looked relaxed, but Yang Siwei was nervous.

When they arrived at the Sina building, Li Chen, Yang Siwei and their group were brought into the studio.

After simple greetings.

Hosts Zhao Ning and Li Chen reviewed the script.

"Director Li, if there are no problems, let's get started?"

The live broadcast will start soon.

Li Chen and the host sat on two red single sofas respectively.

"Hello everyone in the live broadcast room, I am Zhao Ning. Today's guest in our live broadcast room is Director Li Chen. Welcome, Director Li."

"Hello Zhao Ning, and hello to all netizens, I am Li Chen."

As agreed before, Zhao Ning first mentioned the matter of "The Disguiser".

"Director Li, first of all, I want to congratulate you on the good price of "The Group Leader"."

"Thank you."

“But I heard that the sales of ‘Insidious’ didn’t seem to be going smoothly, but in the end it was sold to Blueberry TV at a high price of 50 per episode.”

"Netizens are all wondering if it's because Rongchen Pictures and Blueberry TV are strategic partners, so Blueberry TV had no choice but to bite the bullet and buy it."

Netizens have different opinions.

Some say that Li Chen used his power to pressure others and dump Blueberry Channel.

It is said that Li Chen and Blueberry TV had insider trading in private.

Even Tian Zhuangzhuang was watching this live broadcast in the live broadcast room at this moment.

He didn't want his disciple to exchange interests with Blueberry TV because of him.

"There is no insider trading. It should be said that it is an equal exchange. Zhongtai and I made a bet. If the bet fails, Rongchen Pictures will sell the first broadcast rights of a drama to Blueberry TV at a low price."

The netizens in the live broadcast room suddenly realized.

"Speaking of which, I would also like to advertise for "Live". I have watched both "Live" and "The Leader".

"Personally, I think that Hidden is more attractive and is no less attractive than Soldiers Assault. Both the plot and the acting skills of Sun Li and Luo Jin are definitely a milestone in domestic spy dramas."

Li Chen's words can be regarded as a guarantee of his character.

Netizens couldn’t believe it.

Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang of Huayi are also part of the vast online community.

Wang Zhonglei laughed and said, "He really dares to brag. He is not afraid of sticking his tongue out."

Feng Xiaogang snorted coldly: "Isn't that just bragging? The first broadcast will be on April 4st. Who doesn't know what April 1st is?"

Wang Zhonglei laughed out loud: "That makes sense. I'm actually looking forward to April Fool's Day coming sooner."

The host of the live broadcast room quickly got to the point.

"Director Li's words have aroused my curiosity. I believe that after the show starts, many netizens will also come to find out what's going on like me."

Li Chen smiled and said, "That's great. At least my visit to your Sina live studio today was not in vain."

Zhao Ning then said, "Director Li, netizens have recently been wondering whether you have put Mr. Chow Yun-fat on the blacklist of Rongchen Pictures."

"I'm also curious why Zhou Xun refused to play the role in "Confucius" because of Chow Yun-fat."

“Is the real situation the same as what some Hong Kong media reported?”

In fact, 70% of netizens believed these revelations, and even if they were true, Li Chen could not admit it.

Li Chen smiled lightly: "Nonsense!"
