Chapter 2012: Hot Tapes

The original audience rating of "Journey to the West" was 89.4%. However, due to Shen Long's intervention, the quality of the TV series has improved a lot compared to the original work. In addition to the preheating promotion of the previous trailer, the ratings It has been improved, and directly broke through 90%. Even if the ratings of the later works are only one-tenth of the ratings of "Journey to the West", they should wake up laughing.

Of course, there are too many entertainment activities in later generations, and the penetration rate of TV is not comparable to that of today, so it cannot be directly compared, but this data is enough to show the popularity of "Journey to the West".

This rating is enough for "Journey to the West" to be filmed in the top three in the history of Chinese TV dramas. The second is the drama "Desire", and the number one is "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp". The director is not someone else. It is director Wang Fulin, together with "Dream of Red Mansions", which ranks sixth, Mr. Wang alone occupies two places in the top ten of the historical ratings of Chinese TV dramas, which is enough to leave a name in history.

Shen Long is not jealous either, he has participated in both "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions", and "I Love My Family" which he is currently planning is also ranked in the top ten masterpieces. Based on this calculation, he already has three dramas in the top ten up.

The performance is so good, the stage naturally wants to hold a commendation meeting. Before the official meeting started, the leader first called director Yang, Shen Long and other key personnel of the crew over, "Hahaha, you have made great contributions this time! You must be commended here!"

"It's all thanks to the support of the station and the trust of the leaders, otherwise there would be no film." First of all, it is inevitable to thank the leaders. This is not a pure compliment. They really helped the crew withstand the pressure and provided support. .

After discussing the commendation conference, the leader was about to end the meeting, but at this time Shen Long raised a new topic, "Leader, I think we should take advantage of the popularity of "Journey to the West" to earn more money for the station." !"

"Oh? You have a quick mind, what good idea is there?" The leader didn't rush to leave when he heard this. Before the filming of "I Love My Family" officially started, Shen Long used the method of placing advertisements A lot of sponsorships were brought in and the problem of funding difficulties for the filming was solved, which made the leaders very happy.

Those advertisements were all sent by Shen Long to Xicheng. Apart from the fact that Shen Long was busy setting up a crew and helping Director Yang with the post-production of "Journey to the West", he really couldn't leave, and more importantly, he wanted to exercise Xicheng, and Xicheng It's not bad to complete this task.

"I have read some materials about the American film and television industry, and found a very important problem. American TV drama producers can also earn a lot of profits by selling peripheral products." Shen Long still used the advanced experience of the United States as his reason, " For example, the production of song tapes of TV dramas is sold out, such as the production of clothes with TV drama elements and sold out, etc. "

"The conditions are not ripe for us to do so many things now, but the matter of the tape is not troublesome. I walk on the street now, and I can hear the singing of 'You carry the burden, I lead the horse' everywhere, which shows that our Everyone likes the song, so if you make a batch of tapes, they will definitely sell a lot!" Right now, only the tapes are easy to operate.

"In this way, a lot of funds can be recovered, and the funds in the station will be more generous. You don't have to be shy about spending money, and you can realize many good ideas." Although the money does not fall into my own hands, I ask more If the station needs some money, it won't be a problem to make better TV series, right?

"If you want to make tapes, you need to cooperate with the record company! We don't have production and sales channels, so they will take all the big money!" The leader began to think seriously.

"If you discuss with them privately, you will definitely not get much money, but let's come forward in the stage,

We can still win some, as long as the sales volume goes up, there will definitely be a lot of money in the end; of course, if we make money, we have to share some with Teacher Xu Jingqing, Teacher Yan Su and those singers, so that we can cooperate in the future It's better to talk more. "These works are also other people's painstaking efforts, so I feel embarrassed to use them in vain.

"Come out with a plan. I'll discuss it with someone as soon as possible. If you want to do it, you have to spread the goods before the end of "Journey to the West"." The leader's thinking is still very open, and he thought of it without Shen Long's reminder. this layer.

"The plan has been written. When I recorded songs for them before, I have already prepared the master tape. As long as you talk to the record company, the recording can start immediately." Shen Long took out a bag from his bag. hand over the document.

"Hahaha, if only the people in the station could take the initiative like you! Okay, I'll go to the leaders of other stations to have a meeting, and then discuss with the record company!" The leader was very satisfied.

Shen Long's plan was written in great detail, he carefully studied the current record distribution model, and gave a sales plan in line with the current era. Basically, he just took the plan and executed it directly.

When the leaders had a meeting, after seeing his plan, they agreed that not only "Journey to the West" could do this, but also "Dream of Red Mansions" and even "I Love My Family" could follow this plan. Execution, some people even immediately thought of the Spring Festival Gala, can we still publish "Spring Festival Gala Song Album", even cross talk sketches can be included.

After Shen Long heard this, he secretly muttered in his heart, wouldn't Chen Xiaoer fall out with Taili in advance? Hey, I will try my best to help him fight for some interests, and I will help him deal more in the future.

Chaotingtai's status in the system is still slightly higher than that of the record company, so the boss of Chaotingtai went out to find the record company, and the matter was done.

The record company soon used Shen Long's master tapes for production. The first batch of them didn't dare to produce too many tapes. They only recorded a few hundred thousand tapes and sold them in the capital and surrounding areas. There was a long queue outside the point, and within a few days, the tapes were all gone.

So the head office of the record company immediately worked overtime in an emergency and began to record the second batch. As a result, this batch was booked up by branches all over the country before it was produced. They even started to complain about the head office. In a place in the capital, our common people also like to listen to the songs of "Journey to the West".

Soon, the record company sent the first payment to Chaotingtai, and the leader in the backstage was very happy to receive it, "Oh, two days ago, Old Wang asked me to ask me about the funding for "Dream of Red Mansions". Finally, I can give it to him! By the way, there is also your "I Love My Family", dial some too! Is this film ready?"
