Chapter 105: It must be impossible to lose

The shooting of the first episode lasted three days.
Altman's shooting plan, Meng Lang set a single episode responsibility system. It refers to filming one episode and then filming the next one without any other scenes in between.
This shooting method is suitable for unit dramas, and is in line with the original "shooting while playing" working mode.
It is a good thing for actors.
If it is a series, the scenes are centralized and filmed, and the sweetness of love may need to be performed in the last second, and the heartbreaking of breaking up in the next second.
Don't worry about this for unit dramas.
The actors are comfortable in shooting, and the director is also relieved.
The filming work progressed steadily, and after preliminary estimation of the finishing time, Meng Lang received a guest.
Still an old acquaintance.
Director Tao said with a smile: "I didn't expect it? I tuned to the integrated channel!"
I didn't expect it!
Meng Lang thought that even if Director Tao was promoted, he would also be promoted to the director of the Children's Channel. Unexpectedly, Ping Tun went to the integrated channel.
The level is flat, but from the children’s channel to the comprehensive channel, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a promotion.
They were all old acquaintances, and they didn't talk so much, so Director Tao made clear his intentions directly.
Jiangchuan Comprehensive Channel is willing to purchase the first-round broadcast rights of "Ultraman". The price is easy to say, as long as Meng Lang is not open to the lion, they can accept it.
Jiangchuan Comprehensive Channel ranks not low in the domestic provincial satellite TV, second only to China Sea Satellite TV and Shonan Satellite TV.
Still a regular customer...
Meng Lang didn't hide it, and said his psychological price.
Director Tao looked distressed: "This price is too expensive? There are not so many children's dramas..."
"Who said this is a children's drama?"
Director Tao was stunned, and then asked, "Is it the adult Xiangte filming the drama?"
Meng Lang curled his lips and said, "All ages!"
Altman is not a specific children's work, to be precise, this is a live-action drama for all ages.
Teenagers watch fights! Youth watching the plot!
Older years, enjoy the family fun.
Family Fun is the basis of Ultraman's audience, not the "children's drama" that people imagine.
In the 1960s, when Ultraman first appeared on TV, the neon crowd was empty! The highest peak ratings are over 50%! For every two TV sets of All Neon, one of them will broadcast Ultraman!
The elderly, office workers, housewives and children are loyal audiences!
Although the ratings declined in the later stages of the first-generation screenings, the average ratings still remained at a super-high 36.8%!
Looking at the grand occasion of that time, it would be difficult to understand. Isn't Altman a children's drama that only children like?
But this is the charm of "great heroes"!
If you still don't understand, you can recall the moment when you first saw Ultraman!
what is that?
Monster! giant!
Intermae said: "When I first met Ultraman, I thought I saw God!"
This line explains everything.
There may be cultural differences between China and neon. Everyone has the same vision for heroes, curiosity about the universe, and reaction to monsters.
This is the reason for Ultraman's success!
Director Tao is not clear about all this, and has some doubts about Meng Lang's "all ages".
Meng Lang didn't want to force him either.
He gave another plan.
"A gambling agreement?"
Director Tao almost couldn't sit still, and asked in surprise: "You are so confident? You have to know that the highest ratings you created before are only so many..."
That was the record set by "Ba La La Little Devil" on CCTV Children's Channel!
"I have confidence! Just see if you dare to gamble!"
nonsense!
How much can you lose if you lose the bet and sell at a low price? If you win a bet, you can make money, and it's a good story to spread it out. Why not?
Meng Lang didn't think he would lose.
The glory of the first generation may be difficult to surpass, but as the first Ultraman in history, success is almost inevitable!
Monster eh! Giant eh!
Everyone would be curious about such a novel subject?
The matter was of great importance, and Director Tao did not dare to call the shots without authorization, and told Meng Lang's words to the Master of Comprehensive Channel.
The director smiled after listening.
"Promise him!"
Director/Meng Lang: "You may earn blood, but I will never lose!"
That's it!
The ratings are below 4 points, and a single episode is 100,000!
For every 0.1% increase in ratings, the price of a single episode increases by 100,000!
Calculated on the basis of 40 episodes, if the ratings did not break 4, then Pengda Films would only have 4 million guarantees.
But as long as you break 4 points, you can earn 4 million more for every 0.1% increase in ratings!
If the ratings break 5%, the total price is 44 million! The ratings have reached 14%, and the total price will reach an unprecedented 400 million!
Sounds very profitable!
But the ratings broke 4 and can already compete for the annual ratings championship!
The ratings break 14%?
Twenty years ago, it was a hit!
If it really reaches this kind of ratings, Jiangchuan TV will not be stingy with these 400 million, after all...
With this rating, a random advertisement can be priced at four or five billion yuan, which is comparable to the bidding king of the Spring Festival Gala!
what? impossible!
How impossible!
If it were the early Spring Festival Gala, the Biaowang really worked well! After all, at that time, everyone watched the Spring Festival Gala very seriously.
But now...
The ratings of the Spring Festival Gala are high now, but how many people will watch it seriously? Most people use the TV as background music for Mahjong.
And "Ultraman" if the ratings really exceed 14%! The advertising effect is absolutely comparable to today's Spring Festival Evening Standard King! Even beyond the standard king!
Just like the popular variety shows today, which "exclusive naming rights" is cheaper?
The director dared to take this bet, naturally he was not afraid of losing money.
Similarly, if Meng Lang dared to make this bet, he naturally had sufficient confidence.
A "commemorative edition" is issued if the bet is lost, and a "commemorative edition" is issued if the bet is won! Regardless of whether you win or lose, there is a small amount of money.
Meng Lang had already calculated it.
And Ultraman's production budget is less than ten million, and the bulk of it is all models and props.
Even if the gambling is lost, the first round of broadcast rights will be sold for 4 million, but the second round will be sold for 1 million, and the network exclusive broadcast rights will be sold for another 5 million.
Not to mention, this drama can be exported overseas!
Meng Tsai's good brother TBS and FOX USD and JPY are readily available. Can you lose money?
Even if all of the above is at a loss, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, Meng Lang has other means!
Sales of DVDs and Blu-ray discs, various linkage derivatives, and toys.
If this is still a loss...
Don't be afraid, children!
Uncle Meng still has something to prepare!
If the broadcasting rights are lost, and the derivatives are also lost, the PD-limited "UItraman" yo-yo, bakugan, spinning top, magic wand, alienated Sakura figures will soon be available...
With all the backhands, under the operation of Meng Lang, let alone this is the first generation, even if you are watching Nexus, you can't lose money!
It can only be said that Tsuburaya was killed, and a good hand was played poorly. If it hadn't been for a Wanxing power leveling in the later stage, I would have lost all the chips long ago.
"Sangaya-san, I will inherit your will and will never let your tragedy happen again in Pengda! You can go without worry..."
