Liu Mei explained the price of exclusive broadcasting rights on NTS to Ding Yue.
The price is actually not high for NTS. The first channel’s advertisement slots alone, even during the non-peak hours, can cost up to a hundred million yuan. The Golden Time slots cost billions. Any advertisements that appear on NTS are big-budget businesses.
When NTS purchases drama series or programs , the price offer will not be low.
After all, NTS is state-owned!
"Okay, no problem." Ding Yue agreed right away.
Two million yuan per episode is fine, even one million yuan is acceptable.
Though the initial production cost for each episode was almost a million yuan, after the film and television college teams filmed and produced it earnestly, it was found that the cost did not exceed five million yuan, it was even less than anticipated.
Now, NTS is buying exclusive broadcasting rights for twelve million yuan.
And after NTS uses up this batch of exclusive broadcasting rights, Mist City Arts and Sciences University can continue to use them. The rights they’re buying are for broadcasting only, so the university can still make subsequent seasons of "A Bite of Xia Country". This won’t be affected at all.
The crucial point is!
Ding Yue doesn’t actually care about the purchase price of twelve million yuan.
Being broadcasted on NTS, even during a non-peak time slot, is quite a good deal. For Mist City Arts and Sciences University, it means another round of excellent reputation.
The status of the film and television college will also be enhanced because of this.
After all, it’s quite impressive to have a production from the film and television college broadcasted on NTS!
Ding Yue will certainly not be at a loss.
"Alright, for the specific matters, would it be alright for my subordinates to negotiate with Mist City Arts and Sciences University? After we reach an agreement, we need to sign the exclusive broadcasting rights authorization agreement as soon as possible. We’re in a bit of a rush. Also, the fifth and sixth episodes of this documentary series from your university need to be produced as quickly as possible. However, remember not to rush the production and compromise the quality."
After seeing Principal Ding agreed, Liu Mei then went over the final important matters.
It’s clear that Vice Director Liu does not need to deal with the exact signing process of the exclusive broadcasting rights authorization agreement.
"Alright, Vice Director Liu, rest assured."
Ding Yue assured her there would be no issues.
Once the leaders of both sides had finalized the agreement, the finer points and details were left to their subordinates to handle.
After hanging up, a joyous smile appeared on Ding Yue’s face.
"Principal Ding, what’s going on?"
Wen Ruohan was curious.
She wasn’t sure how Principal Ding’s negotiation with the Vice Director of NTS was going.
With a slight smile, Ding Yue said, "We’ve finalized the deal. NTS is buying the exclusive broadcasting rights of our food documentary, ’A Bite of Xia Country’, for twelve million yuan!"
"Wow, twelve million!"
Hearing this price, Wen Ruohan was both astonished and delighted.
While it was unclear exactly why she was excited, it was likely because the documentary produced by the school’s film and television college was collaborating with NTS, which is highly beneficial to the university.
Zhu Youzhao exclaims in disbelief: "The total production cost of ’A Bite of Xia Country’ is only four million one hundred and seventy thousand yuan, but we managed to sell it for twelve million. And it’s NTS nonetheless!"
Zhu Youzhao found it unbelievable!
With this, the film and television college made a remarkable rise!
From now on, they can proudly mention the record-breaking success of the film and television college to other department directors — that their documentary was broadcasted on NTS!
Speaking of this does make them seem quite impressive!
Zhu Youzhao, the director of the film and television department, had finally led the students to fight a fierce and successful battle.
However, seeing Zhu Youzhao’s excitement and happiness, Ding Yue’s expression suddenly turned serious: "Director Zhu, don’t celebrate too early yet..."
