Chapter 347: free! free!

"President, fortunately not insulted!"
On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bai Cang finally completed the filming of the metal hero Gaban, and the crew was successfully completed.
Not easy!
After tossing for nearly a year, Bai Cang finally completed his mission and photographed the first work of the Metal Hero series.
Although it was about a week later than the previously estimated time, nine months have passed. What can a mere week be considered?
The shooting material has not been edited, and the post-production special effects and soundtrack have not been done. It will take some time to broadcast it as soon as possible. But it’s fine to cut a promotional video to promote the warm-up.
The TV station is very interested!
Shirakura is not a new director, after all, he is one of the main producers of Kamen Rider. Coupled with Pengda Film and Television's consistent "boutique" strategy, the TV station is full of confidence.
Before seeing the film, the offer broke through 1 million in a single episode.
But Mengzi was still not satisfied.
Including post-production and publicity, the total investment in this project in Gaban is definitely one hundred million yuan. A single episode of 1 million, a total of 44 episodes only sold 44 million, even if the second and third rounds of income are added, I am afraid that it will not be able to return.
"At least 2 million!"
This is Meng Lang's bottom line.
The price of the first broadcast is the highest, and the price of the rebroadcast will definitely drop significantly. If you can't sell at a high price in the first round, don't even think about making money on replays.
As soon as this price came out, many TV stations were instantly scared off. It's not that they don't want to buy, but financial resources do not allow it.
The remaining TV stations, except for those with strong financial resources, are all red-eye gamblers. Pengda's dazzling record made them lose the most basic ability to judge.
The transaction price was 4 million!
"Crazy! Really crazy!"
Director Tao shook his head and said: "If the director of this show is you, four million is fair. But the director is Bai Cang, two million is the top!"
"It's really expensive!"
Even Meng Lang himself felt that four million in a single episode was too expensive. After all, the metal hero Gaban is a waiting hero, and being able to fire in neon does not mean that he can fire in China.
Two million fair price!
The first round of the book, the second round and subsequent replays to make money, this is the best result Meng Lang imagined.
But he did not expect that because of Pengda's previous record, Jingcheng Satellite TV would have made serious decision-making errors. Choosing to buy Gaban's first broadcast rights at a sky-high price of 4 million.
The total price is 176 million!
Although Jingcheng Satellite TV has a good mix, the annual budget for buying movies is only four to five billion yuan, right? It took half a year of budget all at once, which was completely gambler's mentality.
Happy to win the bet!
If the bet is lost and Gaban does not bring the expected return, then this huge loss may cause some people to lose their jobs.
This is no joke!
Director Tao is not very optimistic about Gaban's prospects. Although it is the work of the benchmark "Kamen Rider", Shirakura's ability to direct makes him doubtful.
He wants armor warriors!
The bidding for the metal heroes just went along the way. Director Tao had been dealing with Pengda for so many years, and he had already developed a pair of golden eyes.
Want to buy Pengda drama?
Then look for Director Meng Lang!
Other directors, although the work is okay, the TV station can't make a lot of money. If you want to make a lot of money, it must be a work directed by Meng Lang himself.
"Armor warriors are not cheap!"
Meng Lang said with a smile: "Don't talk about the price, let's talk alone when the filming is finished. For the good face of the old friend, I recommend a baby to you!"
"Transformers?"
"Yes!"
Meng Lang snapped his fingers and said: "It's Transformers, Pengda's finale this year. Based on our relationship, I will lose five million and sell it to you!"
"Where's your face?"
Director Tao spurned: "The extended version of the toy commercial, sell me at a loss? It's a pity not to do sales with your mouth!"
What happened to the toy commercial?
Meng Lang said distressedly: "Director Tao, people can't forget their roots! Have you forgotten the Firepower Junior King?"
"Can the nature be the same?"
"Although Firepower Boy is a toy commercial, the right to play is free! Transformers has a single episode of 5 million, do you think I am stupid?"
"What if it's free?"
"It's free...Then I definitely want it! The prime time broadcast, with a 15-second advertising space!"
"A word is settled!"
and many more!
Director Tao was stunned and asked incredulously: "Free? Are you sure?"
"Of course!" Meng Lang nodded.
"Transformers: The Leader's Proof" is essentially not much different from Firepower Boys. Both are works launched to sell peripheral derivatives.
Why not free?
Not only is it free for domestic use, but also for TV stations in other regions overseas, it is also free for licensing. As long as it can reach more audiences, it doesn't matter if the right to broadcast is free.
Can't bear the children can't catch the wolf!
After all, it is the first work of Transformers. If you want to become famous as soon as possible, you need to adopt some extreme methods.
As long as the reputation of Transformers is established, there will be a market for related derivatives, and the money lost before will soon be doubled back.
In fact, you can also charge.
If the broadcasting rights are charged, Pengda can recover production costs as soon as possible and realize profits. According to the quality of "Proof of Leader", the IP reputation of Transformers will not be low.
But this efficiency is too low!
Fees will inevitably deter some TV stations, and without this part of the TV stations, the audience covered by Transformers is destined to be less free.
A cartoon with high quality and guaranteed ratings, if the broadcasting right is free, no TV station can refuse this temptation.
Jiangchuan Satellite TV is no exception.
Director Tao agreed on the spot, fearing that Meng Lang would go back, he also took Meng Lang to sign the agreement of intent.
Sending away the overjoyed Director Tao, Meng Lang approached Wang Kui and asked about the progress of the Transformers project.
"very smooth!"
Wang Kui grinned and said: "Thanks to the motion capture studio breaking a technical difficulty, it has greatly improved the production efficiency of Transformers."
"What technical difficulty?"
"I don't know anything about trajectory tracking in three-dimensional coordinate measurement. Anyway, it is the top technology of motion capture that even Americans don't know."
So amazing?
Pengda's motion capture studio, Meng Lang hasn't taken care of them since the acquisition, and has been in a state of stocking ~EbookFREE.me~Motion capture technology, not only Wang Kui does not understand, even Meng Lang does not understand. He just thinks that this technology has prospects in the future, which can greatly improve filming efficiency and reduce costs.
Unfortunately, it didn't come in handy!
Pengda's holster craftsmanship is getting stronger and stronger, and the motion capture studio has been in a salty state. Meng Lang was still thinking about it, so he took the time to find them a next home to sell.
Unexpectedly the development is so fierce!
Since it is a technology that the Americans have not mastered, it must have merits. The tool man works so hard, and as the boss, he should express it.
Bonus arrangements!
In addition to the material rewards, a trophy certificate will be issued by President Meng himself, which reflects Pengda's corporate culture of "valuing talents" and "rewarding and penalizing clearly".
after all……
With top-notch technology, even if you want to sell this studio, you can still sell it at a good price!
