Tengying's announcement directly caused an uproar in the drama circle.
A second-tier celebrity as the lead actor, and it's not even some top-tier blockbuster production, they dared to ask for 480 million.
This time it wasn't just Leanne straddling it, but rather brazenly sitting on their faces and singing 'Courage'.
Wang Yanfeng was laughing foolishly, secretly posting short articles cursing Tengying as a toad trying to eat swan meat, not knowing his own size.
It wasn't just him cursing, Jiaxing and several other major entertainment companies were almost all publishing brief essays expressing their views.
Both overtly and covertly they were criticizing Tengying as a toad trying to eat swan meat, attempting to bite off more than they could chew and become a big fatso in one gulp.
Unfortunately for them, no matter how fiercely they cursed, it couldn't stop the leadership team from Mango coming to Capital City themselves.
If you're talking about what made Mango Channel famous, that would definitely be their variety shows.
A unique presence among satellite TV channels, they had cooperated with Zhao Liying once.
The effect and ratings were very good.
Another key reason is that next year they want to produce their own weekly TV series.
This would be breaking new ground in the domestic precedent.
What is a weekly series? It's broadcasting only two days a week, and just two episodes each day.
To make a weekly series successful, without a doubt, requires extremely high television drama quality.
And this pioneering first step is even more crucial.
When a TV station buys a drama, especially when it's the top-ranked local satellite channel,
the first consideration is the stars, and even more critical is the broadcast quality of the drama.
As the head of the public relations department, Yang Qian introduced Hua Qiangu in full detail to them.
Then let all the leaders preview Hua Qiangu first.
Those who originally thought 480 million was too high fell silent after watching it.
They took a flight overnight to Southern Province.
Just in these ten days or so, Yang Qian had received seven local TV station leadership teams.
All of them came to visit Hua Qiangu.
While various messages were constantly appearing online, one day at the end of September, it suddenly broke that seven major satellite TV stations were simultaneously scrambling for Hua Qiangu, an earth-shattering piece of news. Read full story at N0veI.Fiɾe.net
480 million is nothing.
The key was to acquire all its rights and even to use this drama to win the title of Drama King of the year.
It can only be said that the quality of Hua Qiangu was beyond imagination.
You think it's an idol drama, but it can make you cry your eyes out.
You think it's only suitable for young people, but it can appeal to everyone from age five to five hundred.
This is definitely Drama King stuff.
The inconceivably good quality, in the end, led to Chen Pingsheng taking charge and selling the exclusive broadcast rights for Hua Qiangu to Mango for 480 million.
Among the seven TV stations, Mango had the largest viewer base.
And this was only for the television broadcasting rights.
It didn't include a series of derivative products like game development and merchandising.
As soon as the news came out...
Wang Yanfeng was so angry his head buzzed. According to an unnamed junior reporter, this popular rich kid on the internet went so far as to have his way with his girlfriend's bestie on the spot.
It wasn't just him; Jin from Jiaxing and Yang Mi herself were dumbfounded.
Just the exclusive broadcast rights of a TV series sold for nearly five hundred million.
What kind of concept is that?
No TV drama has ever sold for such an exorbitant price.
Even she herself couldn't do it; Tengying has totally hit it big this time.
But after the drama was sold, there was still a long time to go before it actually aired.
Mango spent so much money on Hua Qiangu, of course, they wouldn't do a loss-making business.
First, the post-production promotion of Hua Qiangu has also shifted to their side.
Besides, they need to conduct widespread sponsorship.
TV stations, well, they make money off advertisements.
There's nothing to say about that.
The moment the contract was officially signed and the money was received, the long-dormant Golden Finger finally began to upgrade.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement of accumulating one billion in revenue.]
After one second, two seconds, three seconds... the system upgrade was completed.
[Host: Chen Pingsheng]
[Today's Income: 480 million]
(Income from the entertainment industry cannot be arbitrarily increased.)
[LV3 Random Multiplier: 2～6 times]
(Explanation: LV3 can multiply accumulated income over 100 million.)
The random multiplier actually decreased?
Chen Pingsheng was a bit surprised, but after reading the explanation, he realized that the earlier multiplier could only increase incomes below 100 million.
Incomes over 100 million couldn't trigger the random multiplier, or to put it plainly, once the accumulated income exceeded 100 million, the random multiplier at LV2 became unusable.
There were also some new functions displayed below.
[LV3: Unlock comprehensive investment function in the entertainment industry, including movies and TV dramas.]
The investment function for movies is also open now?
Don't be too surprised, the reason Tengying developed so well is precisely because it had the TV drama investment analysis function.
Now that the movie one has emerged, what else is there to say?
Tengying must become the number one company in the entertainment industry.
Don't be too flabbergasted.
But then, another line popped up.
[Physique Accumulation Points: 100]
(Explanation: By enhancing the happiness of your employees, you can acquire corresponding Physique Accumulation Points.)
(Physique Accumulation Points can be used to improve your own physique and regain a youthful state.)
[Host's Age: 32, Physical Age: 32, would you like to consume 100 Physique Points to upgrade your physical age to 31?]
Holy moly... this is also possible?
As the saying goes, when you reach middle age, your body doesn't listen to you, and even a small tea requires extra goji berries.
Who doesn't miss the vigor of youth, a silver spear conquering all, defeating every opponent?
Having his wife wailing in bed.
Didn't expect it to come, but it finally came.
Chen Pingsheng silently chanted "consume" in his mind.
Then a faint glow passed over his body, and suddenly he felt much lighter.
That middle-aged feeling in your thirties, getting a sore back and waist from sitting too long.
Running a few steps and gasping for breath, the beer belly emerging even without drinking beer.
Golden Finger Grandpa really took care of him, and now he felt much more comfortable.
It was as if he was a year younger.
If he could acquire more Physique Accumulation Points, then he might even evolve back to eighteen.
Eighteen years old...then he could really make his wife wail in the room.
Excitement, simply too exciting.
Life is getting more and more promising.
Chen Pingsheng digested the upgrade information from Golden Finger.
You could say, it was only the random multiplier that halved.
But in return, he could now multiply incomes of over 100 million.
Additionally, the analysis function for the entire entertainment sector was fully unlocked, the previous function felt like only half of it was accessible.
Now, with the ability to invest in movies, the value of Tengying soared overnight.
He also gained a Physique Accumulation Point, which was totally unexpected.
The way to obtain Physique Accumulation Points was even more surprising, apparently coming from enhancing employee happiness.
It seems that being a truly considerate boss for your employees pays off in the end.
What more is there to say? Of course, he must treat his employees well.
He was eager to upgrade his physical state to his twenties as soon as possible.
His wife was still at her most enchanting age, and if he couldn't make her obediently lie at the head of the bed singing "Conquer"...
Wouldn't life lack a lot of fun?
Where then would the dignity of a man lie?
