Chapter 438 438. Sky-high Price

The data that surprised this manager was naturally not a simple increase.

After dialing the phone, before the supervisor could speak, the person in charge of China Channel couldn't wait to ask: "What was the peak ratings just now? Did it break six?"

"Six?" the supervisor shouted, as if hearing an unbelievable number.

"Why, it didn't break six?" The voice of the person in charge on the other end of the phone was trembling. According to their team's expectations, Nie Wei's appearance should usher in a significant increase in ratings. How come the highest ratings can't even reach six? Not broken?

Could it be that Nie Wei's popularity has declined? But with so much discussion online, it doesn't look like its popularity is declining.

"Of course it's six!" Supervisor Suofuri's excited voice made the person in charge of Huaxia Station feel reassured. Well, Nie Wei is so popular. It's not easy for him to break six. But Director Sofret's next words almost made his heart stop beating.

"Director Liu, your goal is too low. The peak data just now is beyond your belief. It's not six, it's eight. It's eight!!!" When the number 'eight' was mentioned, Suofu Rui's supervisor His voice even broke with excitement. He had seen many TV series over the years, and many of them had broken eight, but there had never been a TV series like this. Just one appearance made the data jump from the original five to around five in an instant. to eight.

Now he simply felt that he had seen a miracle, a miracle that he could not understand in the previous ten years of his working life. The curve that suddenly seemed to break through the sky was still so shocking to him.

On the other end of the phone, Lao Liu, the head of the TV drama department of China Television, was dumbfounded. He even thought for a moment that he was hallucinating, but on the other end of the phone, Supervisor Suofu Rui was talking excitedly to himself, and the information revealed inside told him , this is all true.

It's not Po Liu, nor Po Qi, which I can only dream of, but Po Ba, which I can't even dream of!

"Director Yuan, can you confirm again, is it eight? Not six?" When he said this, Lao Liu didn't even notice that his voice was full of trembling, and the staff beside him also looked like He looked dumbfounded, obviously frightened by what little Liu said during the phone call.

The other half, Manager Yuan, answered with certainty: "My eyesight is very good, and the ratings curve also proves that it is eight, not six! Let me give you a specific report. The highest peak just now was eight. Point zero seven.”

"It's eight, not six, it's really eight!" At this moment, Director Liu no longer had any doubts in his heart, and he didn't even bother to hang up the phone. He loudly announced to the staff around him: "What happened in the third episode just now?" The ratings instantly peaked at over 8!”

"Oh my god, break eight!"

"I knew, I knew, that Nie Wei has not appeared on TV for so long, and his fans must be eager to see him."

"Nie Wei is so popular. He and Lin Yifei together are simply invincible."

"You are truly worthy of being the best CP of the year, awesome."

The news of breaking eight infected everyone at the scene. This data is really exciting. All the staff who were lazy because of the night shift all became energetic because of this news. After all, there are too many things behind this data. The most direct That's the year-end bonus.

Some old comrades are only interested in silly fun at this time. There is "Bright Sword" at the beginning of the year and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" at the end of the year. With the support of these two dramas, this year's year-end awards will definitely be extremely generous.

The young people have not thought so much. They have just joined the job and have not had so many benefits in their minds. At this time, they have achieved good results. The first thing they think of is to show off to their former classmates and current peers.

A message suddenly appeared in the XX-level OQ group of the Department of Directing and Directing of a certain communication university.

"Ahem, the ratings of the TV series came out just now. The highest rating was 8.07. It almost failed to break 8. It was too scary."

Such a message that seemed to be a complaint but was actually showing off immediately caused a stir in this OQ group.

"Is it "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"

"It must be Wang Mou who sent the message. Doesn't he work at Huaxia TV?"

"Damn, this kid is so mean."

"It's over. Our TV series is at the same time as theirs, and they have already broken eight. How have we fallen? It seems that our year-end bonus is going to be ruined."

"Don't cry upstairs, you still have friends who are in the same situation."

"Who do you think you are? Originally, the TV series we were airing here could still survive for a while, but the ratings of our TV series exploded just after two episodes of The Eagle were aired. Today will definitely be even worse. I watch this TV series and it is not far away from being cut in half. "

Many similar conversations like the one above also occurred in many other related groups. In almost half an hour, the third episode of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was not even finished, and the highest ratings had already exceeded 8 The news spread within the circle.

Zhang Jizhong has happily received more than ten congratulatory calls. The congratulations from all his old friends have made him feel extremely beautiful. What’s even more beautiful is that such excellent results are destined to make this TV series a lot of money. Just now he and Huaxia Director Liu of Channel 8 just had a chat with him, and the other party obviously wanted to buy the rights to broadcast the next broadcast, and he gave a rough price, which made Zhang Beard very excited, but in the end he suppressed the urge to agree.

Because Zhang Da Huzi felt that the performance of this TV series would definitely be better under such a good reputation. By then, there would definitely be many TV stations competing, and the price would definitely not be comparable at this time.

The two episodes were a total of 90 minutes, and they were broadcast on time at 9:55, and the final ratings were also counted within half an hour. The highest rating was not the previous 8.07, but 8.21 in the fourth episode, which appeared in the section where the two practiced the Jade Girl Heart Sutra. In addition, the average rating was also particularly gratifying, 4.89 in the third episode, and 5.15 in the fourth episode.

The average ratings kept rising, breaking five directly, and the highest ratings even broke eight. After just four episodes, "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has shown the style of a ratings overlord, beating all opponents to flee in panic and lose their armor.

What the directors and producers had said before really became a reality. The next day, a provincial TV station on the man’s side announced that the TV series would be broadcasted from 40 episodes to 32 episodes. At this time, the TV series had already aired 28 episodes, which means that the TV series that could have been broadcast for six days could only be broadcast for two more days.

This was because the leaders of the station gave an extra day because they needed to prepare trailers for the follow-up TV series. Otherwise, according to their ideas, it would be best to broadcast one more episode and end it directly.

It was just a pity for the production company, the staff and the actors behind the TV series. They saw that their hard work was wasted, but what could they do? Who made the opponent too strong?

And this result also shocked the media. In the eyes of the media, Nie Wei and Lin Yifei were definitely the biggest contributors to the breakthrough in the first four episodes, especially Nie Wei. The effect after his appearance was simply eye-popping.

"Nie Wei returns to the screen after half a year, triggering a ratings storm!"

"Who is the ratings guarantee in today's entertainment industry? There is only one answer, Nie Wei!"

"Nie Wei and Lin Yifei are the formula for a successful TV series."

With such good results, the media are not stingy with their praise. Many articles praising the TV series and actors are also emerging on the Internet and paper media. The audience also loves to read these reports. After all, such a refined production, actors' acting skills are online, and TV series with super high appearance are very rare.

The TV series has achieved gratifying results, and the benefits it brings to everyone are beginning to show little by little.

The first is Zhang Jizhong's company. Many TV stations have begun to negotiate with him about the second round of broadcast rights, and the bids have long exceeded his psychological expectations. Zhang Da Huzi's eyes are narrowed into a slit every day, and he is happy to see anyone. What surprised the company's employees was that the company's public coffee, which was originally only enough to supply half a day, suddenly became unlimited. From this point, it can be seen that Boss Zhang obviously made a lot of money.

As actors, Nie Wei and Lin Yifei had it even easier. After the ratings came out the next day, a thick stack of scripts was placed on Nie Wei's desk, and the same was true for Lin Yifei.

These were carefully selected, and more were eliminated, but there were more than ten selected scripts.

The most critical thing is the actor's salary. As mentioned before, when Nie Wei was filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes", he received a salary of 150,000 per episode, but that was a friendship price. Nie Wei actually quoted 200,000 per episode at that time, but now that "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has only been aired for four episodes, Nie Wei's value has increased again.

And it's not just a simple increase of tens of thousands of yuan, but a direct increase of 100,000 to 300,000 per episode. This number is just a tentative offer. As for Lin Yifei, she also offered a price of more than 200,000 per episode. This salary is already the highest salary that a female star can get in TV dramas at this time. The company's top sister Zhou Xun wants to shoot a TV series, which is also at this price.

In this era when entertainment capital has not exploded, a TV series that can get tens of millions of yuan in pay is definitely a symbol of the most recognized by the market. The associated benefit is that those brand manufacturers have also begun to come to Nie Wei and Lin Yifei to endorse their products.

Nie Wei rarely accepts endorsements, so there is only one contract on his desk, which is an endorsement advertisement for sports casual clothing from the international sports brand Adidas, 16 million Chinese yuan for two years.

This offer also broke the record of the endorsement price of mainland celebrities, and it is much higher than the second place. At present, it is probably difficult for celebrities to get a contract of this value in two or three years.

This contract was also dug up by the media and reported on the Internet soon after, which caused a sensation. Nie Wei's invisible status was also raised a lot because of this sky-high endorsement.

Lin Yifei has received many endorsements, including two million a year for the latest whitening product from L'Oreal.

The brand spokesperson of a well-known domestic jeweler received 3.5 million for two years, and also gave a set of exquisite jewelry worth more than 200,000.

There is also a brand of shampoo that earns 1.5 million yuan a year. The income from these three endorsements is enough for Lin Yifei to be on the top ten list of mainland female stars earning money this year.

The TV series is so successful, and the benefits gained by everyone are obvious, but some people are always unhappy, such as the director of this TV series, Yu Min.

He has been really upset recently. The TV series is popular, and everyone is exaggerating the big beard. On the contrary, no one cares about him, the real director. Even if two media reporters occasionally find him for an interview, the topic is mostly focused on the actors, especially Nie Wei and Lin Yifei.

"Director, what do you think of Nie Wei and Lin Yifei's performance in this TV series? Do you think they are qualified in your heart?"

"Director, this is your second time working with Lin Yifei and Nie Wei. What do you think of your tacit understanding?"

"Director, how is your relationship with Lin Yifei and Nie Wei? There were reports a while ago that you had a conflict with these two actors. Can you please tell us in detail about this matter?"

Questions from the media made Yu Senshen's head hurt so much that it was not good to ask, but why should he ask Nie Wei and Lin Yifei, whom he hated the most now?

But although he hates it in his heart, Yu Min can't tell the truth. Not only is he afraid of the pressure of the masses, he is also afraid of the big beard above his head. In the past two days of the TV series, Zhang Big Beard has talked to him again. It just means one thing, don’t offend Nie Wei.

Yu Min thought at that time, how dare I.

It was just a small revenge that cost him an important job. Nie Wei's counterattack really hurt Yu Min. Now he also understands that he will definitely suffer the loss. Don't mess with Nie Wei, so even if No matter how unhappy she felt, Yu Min still had to smile when reporters asked about Nie Wei and Lin Yifei.

"Both Nie Wei and Lin Yifei are very good actors, and they are also very dedicated on the set. It is a very rare fate for us to work together twice. We naturally have a tacit understanding, otherwise we would not be able to produce such a TV series that attracts the public. This Success is the hard work of all of us..."

Seeing the awkward look on Yu Min's face when being interviewed by media reporters on TV, Lin Yifei smiled so happily that she even recorded this segment and showed it to Nie Wei, in the name of sharing happiness together.

The girl went to work happily, but Nie Wei also had something to be busy with. Two episodes of "Infinite Challenge" have been recorded, and the recording of the third episode will begin soon, and the content of the third episode is indeed determined by Nie Wei , because he also has to participate in the recording of this episode.

After all, he promised Ma Donghui to record a program, but he will soon be involved in the filming of "His Name", so he took advantage of the free time recently to fulfill this promise first, and with his own participation, I believe The program can also be sold at a better price, and Nie Wei's calculations are very smart.
