"5 million per episode, I will go to the station to apply now. For my brother's sake, "Dark Glory" will be broadcast on Donghai Satellite TV."

Wei Shurong kept calling and finally got through. Without saying anything, he agreed to the initial price.

He was afraid that Fang Xing had already agreed to another TV station.

After he finished speaking, he waited for two seconds and did not hear Fang Xing's response, so he quickly urged: "Can you do it? Say something quickly."

"Send someone over tomorrow to sign the contract." Fang Xing did not raise the price. Since Donghai Satellite TV agreed to the initial price, it will be broadcast on Donghai Satellite TV.

Anyway, this drama has been broadcast online. Strictly speaking, it will indeed have an impact on the TV station's ratings.

After getting the promise, Wei Shurong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Jinshui Tower, if it were another TV station, they might not be able to win "Dark Glory" at this time.

With the current popularity of "Dark Glory" on external networks, even if Fang Xing temporarily raises the price, I am afraid there will be TV stations willing to pay the bill.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Shurong quickly asked his assistant to notify the heads of various departments in the station to hold a meeting. At the same time, he called the station director Sun Linhai to report the situation and requested a meeting to renegotiate the price of "Dark Glory".

Although Wei Shurong is the deputy director, purchasing the first broadcast rights of a TV series can easily cost 100 million.

Funding movements at this level can only be decided after consultation with the leaders of the TV station.

After Sun Linhai heard about this matter, he agreed to hold a meeting to discuss it.

"This is the situation..."

Wei Shurong briefly introduced the popularity of "Dark Glory" on the Internet, and then said:

"This is the first time that a domestic TV series has been broadcast overseas, so I have already negotiated with Fang Xing on the phone to purchase the TV premiere rights of "Dark Glory" at a price of 5 million per episode.

“The initial decision discussed in the station was 3 million per episode, but this time the situation was special, so I decided without authorization and agreed to Fang Xing’s price of 5 million per episode.

"Of course, the contract has not been signed yet and needs to be discussed and decided by the leaders of the station."

Wei Shurong and Fang Xing agreed on 5 million per episode, but this price was not discussed internally by Donghai Satellite TV.

If other leaders of Donghai TV disagree, they can go back on their word.

Of course, if you agree on the price this time, you will end up regretting it.

From now on, Wei Shurong will have no shame in asking Fang Xing for favors. His approach of killing first and then showing off is actually setting himself up. If the leader of the department thinks the price is too high after research and disagrees with the purchase, then who will be embarrassed in the end?

he.

Wu Yucun, another deputy director of Donghai Satellite TV, heard about the price and questioned: "As for the price of "Dark Glory," the station has held many meetings and discussed it. Now the drama has premiered online and will be broadcast on stars.

, and the price of an episode is 5 million, which does not meet market standards."

There is nothing wrong with Wu Yucun's doubts.

According to the market standards of the television industry, since "Dark Glory" has been broadcast on video platforms, the price for broadcasting on stars should be lowered, to half the price, or even one-third.

Not only has the price of "Dark Glory" not been reduced, it is now higher than the price discussed at the beginning.

"Director Wu, don't think the price of 5 million an episode is high. Let me tell you, Fang Xing asked me to sign the contract tomorrow. If I can't sign the contract tomorrow, I guarantee that the 5 million episode will be snatched away by other TV stations the day after tomorrow.

The price is what I earned by going out of my way to ask for favors." Wei Shurong's tone was obviously a little angry.

He was willing to go out of his way to ask for favors before Fang Xing agreed. Now there are still people in the station who don't agree.

If he reneges on this cooperation, he will be embarrassed to say hello to Fang Xing when he sees him in the future.

Just when the two sides were arguing.

The assistant of Donghai Satellite TV Director Sun Linhai came in, placed a printed document in front of him, and whispered a few words.

Before Sun Linhai came to the meeting, the task assigned to his assistant was to collect data on the overseas distribution of "Dark Glory".

He waved his hands to look at the printed information in front of him. The assistant had just spoken in his ear.

"Dark Glory" was aired for three days and was updated to 12 episodes, which is the fourth episode of the second season. It topped Netflix's TV series hot list.

This data cannot be faked and is unprecedented.

After Sun Linhai confirmed that the matter was true, he coughed to quiet the arguing people and said: "The price of 5 million per episode is indeed high, but for this show, it is worth it.

"I personally agree with this film purchase plan. If anyone else has any objections, please bring it up for everyone to study."

The station director had already spoken, and Wu Yucun, who was originally opposed, could not say anything else.

No one from the top executives of Donghai Satellite TV present raised any objections.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, no one spoke.

Sun Linhai decided: "If no one objects, then arrange for someone to sign the contract tomorrow. Comrade Wei Shurong will be responsible for this work. If there is nothing else, let's adjourn the meeting."

the next day.

Wei Shurong took people to Ark Culture to sign the contract early in the morning, and arranged the broadcast time of "Dark Glory" that afternoon, which was scheduled for August 3rd.

After the news was officially announced, it quickly became a hot topic.

Entertainment and gossip media rushed to report on it.

Because this news is so explosive.

Half a month ago, Gossip News broke the news that "the star of "Dark Glory" is in trouble."

As a result, the show has almost finished airing on video websites, and suddenly it became a star.

["Dark Glory" was successfully broadcast on stars, and the online broadcast was transferred to satellite TV. What is the charm of this drama? 】

["Dark Glory" landed on Donghai Satellite TV, is it a favor? Or is it strength? ]

Under these news headlines, netizens have all sorts of bizarre speculations and opinions.

[Obviously, Donghai Satellite TV must have given preferential treatment for the sake of many cooperations. After all, the third season of The Voice has to be broadcast next year, right?]

[I also think this is the case. Even if Donghai TV, the steadfast ratings champion of The Voice, does not want to broadcast "Dark Glory", it still has to take care of it for the sake of The Voice. ]

[How can you be so imaginative? Can you please watch the drama "Dark Glory" first? This drama is broadcast on the TV station. Isn't it a random killing? 】

[I’m curious, at what price did Donghai Satellite TV buy it? Was it Ark Culture’s price reduction sale? If the price is low, it’s not surprising that the TV station is willing to buy it. After all, the quality of the series is still acceptable.]

[Hehe! According to the gossip I received, instead of lowering the price of "Dark Glory", I originally wanted to increase the price. It turned out that the deputy director of Donghai TV had to persuade Fang Xing to agree. 】

[Is what you said upstairs true? Why do I not believe it so much? 】

[I also think it’s impossible. There are TV series that are broadcast online and transferred to satellite TV, but the basic price is not too high.]

[Don’t believe it, Donghai TV was quick to buy it, and Jiangnan TV also wanted to buy it. After all, the summer ratings of several satellite TV stations were sucked away by "Nowhere to Hide."]

[One thing to say, with the quality of "Dark Glory", it is really good to watch. I was really angry when I watched the first episode, but it was fun all the way afterward. The more angry you were in the beginning, the more fun you will have in the end. 】

【Song Li is really a beauty.】

[Even if it is broadcast on a star, the ratings of this drama should not be too high. After all, the video websites are almost finished.]

[The ratings shouldn’t be too bad, but they certainly can’t be compared with “Nowhere to Hide.”]

…

Among the discussion topics among many netizens and entertainment people, many fans of Jia Haochen are also clamoring:

[It turned out to be a star, and it’s just right that it’s a star. I originally thought that Haochen had no chance to beat FX in terms of ratings, but he didn’t expect that he would take the initiative to show his face.]

[Please wait for "Nowhere to Hide", a drama whose ratings are lower than those of FX. 】

Among the clamoring comments from these fans, one or two honest people occasionally get mixed in.

[Can you please stop using abbreviations? Who is fx? 】

[Of course it’s the initials of a guy who sings.]

[Fang Xing: Don’t I deserve a name in Chinese characters? 】

[A certain fan group: Not worthy!]

Among these humorous comments, there are also relatively new-minded fun-loving people who are beginning to interact with traffic fans:

[No, it’s as if “Nowhere to Hide” can beat “Dark Glory” in terms of playback volume on video websites. 】

When "Dark Glory" aired into its second season, its views on video websites skyrocketed.

The plot is really too compact, and the audience basically can’t help but want to watch the next episode after watching one episode, and they can catch up on updates in one go.

Therefore, the difference in the number of views of each episode is very small.

Unlike other TV series, ordinary TV series, the audience will watch it when they remember it, but save it if they don't remember it.

"Dark Glory" can't be saved at all. Every episode leaves a sense of anticipation. I can't help but keep reading. I finished the updates as I watched.

Therefore, "Dark Glory" has already opened a big gap between the second-placed "Nowhere to Hide" on the popular list of video websites.

This also makes many viewers feel that now that "Dark Glory" has become a star, it may be able to compete with "Nowhere to Hide" for ratings.

However, Jia Haochen's fans don't think so.

They are also looking forward to the broadcast of "Dark Glory" on the stars.

Because only in this way can Jia Haochen defeat Fang Xing head-on with "Nowhere to Hide", thus proving that the judges of the Flying Eagle Awards are blind.

[Can FX fans not be so cerebral? Let’s take a look at the ratings of “Nowhere to Hide” first. It’s already 2.42%. Not to mention dominating the summer season, the annual drama king is basically there. 】
