Chapter 208 The Truman Show Is Completed

Time flies by and the weather slowly gets hotter. Everyone changed out of their shirts and put on short-sleeved shirts.

On June 15th, the filming of the film ended and it entered post-production.

At the same time, producers from both partners began contacting potential distributors.

Once the production is completed and reviewed, the contract will be officially signed.

One month later, on the evening of July 10th.

In a private room of a high-end hotpot restaurant in the capital.

Chazelle is skillfully adding shrimps to the pot.

In the past few months, the crew took him to eat all kinds of Chinese delicacies. After eating all around, my favorite is the hot pot, or to be precise, the hot pot dipping sauce.

So, the air conditioner was turned on at 21 degrees in the box.

Chazelle looked at the three bowls of different flavors of dry dishes, sesame sauce, and seafood in front of him, and ate them deliciously.

Opposite him, Chen Xiao was looking at his mobile phone.

The production of "The Truman Show" was completed half a month ago and is now under review.

Chazelle lived quite close to his home, and occasionally made dinner appointments with him.

Today is also a date for dinner. There is nothing serious to talk about, so it doesn't hurt for him to check his phone.

Chen Xiao clicked on the dialog box with his assistant Chi Yu and took a closer look.

It turns out that "Family with Children" has been reviewed and the broadcast platform and broadcast time have been determined. The news is planned to be announced online at 7 o'clock tonight.

Chen Xiao remembers that the company made special efforts to get this TV series to be released during the summer vacation. Like "The Truman Show", the company discussed cooperation while it was being broadcast.

So, now I sign the contract directly after passing the review.

Chen Xiao flipped through the summary of report information made by Chi Yu.

According to the bidding results, "Family with Children" will be broadcast on CCTV TV Drama Channel, Lychee Channel, and Goose Video.

Taken together on the three platforms, the broadcast rights for one episode are sold for a total of 7 million, which can be played for two years.

One episode is 7 million, and 100 episodes is 700 million.

How do you say this number?

He remembered that there was a TV series last year, and a lot of effort was put into promoting it, and a lot of celebrities were invited.

Like "Family with Children", it was also sold to three companies, two satellite TV stations and one broadcast exclusively on the Internet.

The two satellite TV stations bid 3 million per episode, and Goose Video bid 9 million per episode, which means a total of 15 million per episode.

However, its 45-minute episode is equivalent to two episodes of "Family with Children".

After calculating this, the price is about the same.

That work gathered a lot of big names and the publicity was fierce.

As for "Family with Children", it basically relies on his fame and subject matter.

Indeed, at most the price is similar to that of that drama.

However, not only is this not low, it is actually a sky-high price.

For example, the TV series last year was criticized for its sky-high price. The media criticized that this price revealed the unhealthy trends in the Chinese TV series market and the worries in its development.

But compared with the existing works on the market, "Family with Children" is indeed worth it.

It's worth it, but it's probably going to be criticized by the idle media.

But so what?

If you have the ability, come along the network cable and beat him. Can you survive even if you crawl over and fight?

That’s all, I won’t read it anymore, it’s just a trivial matter.

It just makes the already wealthy bank card the icing on the cake.

Just when I thought of this, Chazelle's voice came from across the dining table, "Hey, the shrimp slippers are almost cooked."

"You can eat it if you want. You don't have to share it with me. It's not like I won't be able to eat it when I return home."

"..."

With a speechless expression, Chazelle used a male spoon to scoop the shrimp slippers out of the pot into his own bowl.

so annoying.

If you leave it to others, just say so.

If he insists on ridiculing him, he will not be able to eat when he returns home. At worst, he will hire a few cooks to go back!

No, there are ingredients when I go back, but they don’t taste right.

Just buy some condiments and go back.

Well, he wants his assistant to buy him a box of spices.

Just as he was thinking this, Chen Xiao put down his cell phone, picked up his chopsticks and started using them.

Chazelle asked casually: "What are you talking about?"

""Family with Children" will be released soon."

"Oh? I'll go take a look then too."

…

At the same time, a corner of the cafeteria of Beijing Film and Television Academy.

He Xu put down her chopsticks, frowned, and asked with a look of embarrassment: "Senior, do you really want to go?"

Opposite her, the pretty girl also put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth and said:

"Oh, of course I have to go."

"How many times have I told you. How can a director be enough if you only know Chen Xiao? The entertainment industry needs to make progress and strive for opportunities. Are you sitting at home every day waiting for opportunities to fall from the sky?"

"This wine bureau is a rare opportunity. You see, Senior Sister Li from our department went to the wine bureau in her junior year, and a year later she acted as the heroine in two online dramas. You may not watch online dramas, but the connections here are real. Really."

He Xu lowered his head and sighed softly, "But...but my agent said it's useless."

Logically speaking, she should trust her agent and reject the senior sister directly.

But I don’t know if it’s because she acted in “Kung Fu” when she first entered college and there are few good friends around her.

It’s not that everyone is bad, it’s just human nature.

As people often say, we are both afraid that our friends will have a hard time, and we are also afraid that our friends will drive Land Rover.

Her resources are excellent among her classmates, and she is at the end of some people at the beginning.

Perhaps because of this, she doesn't have many close friends around her.

Those who approached her either wanted to join Oriental Media or wanted to inquire about Chen Xiao.

These thoughts of wanting to make progress are correct, but alas... I really lack friends.

The senior in front of her was her best friend. She met her in the library. She never asked her for resources, nor did she ask about Chen Xiao. They just had dinner together and talked about school gossip.

So, she told her agent's opinion on the drinking party to her senior.

Just as she lowered her head and stared at the empty plate, she heard her senior's voice again.

"Xu Xu, didn't I tell you not to tell your agent? She must be afraid that you, the cash cow, will run away."

"Tonight's opportunity is rare, and it's also a big director. I studied acting, don't I know more than you?"

"You just stay in school every day and wait for the company to give you resources. Did Chen Xiao take you with him when he made a movie this semester? I'm not saying bad things about him, but there are so many girls in the entertainment industry, you will be forgotten soon. While you are a little popular now, quickly expand your network."

He Xu pursed her lips.

Accumulating connections, this seems to make some sense.

But...

Before she could think about it, the senior student stood up with the food tray and smiled at her gently, "Okay, I'm going to go back and put on makeup. Hurry up and order. I'll see you at the entrance of the cafeteria at 8 o'clock. You should dress up nicely and make people's eyes light up."

Their dormitories were not in the same direction, so the senior student walked towards the food collection area after she said that.
