One episode costs hundreds of thousands.

Prices on the other side are much higher than those on the mainland. Each episode has a budget of 50,000 yuan, and the lead actor is always adding chicken drumsticks to his lunch box!

More importantly, what Chai Pingzhi wants to film is the story of four rich boys. Rich boys are naturally indispensable for famous brands, sports cars, yachts and the like. With a budget of NT$200,000 per episode, how can one afford these luxury goods!

After calling one after another, Chai Pingzhi used almost all his connections, but still couldn't get sponsorship.

In the early 1990s, co-production of TV series between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places was very popular. It was also the golden age of TV series from the other side of the Taiwan Strait.

Lighting fixtures such as "The Legend of the White Snake", "A Joke about Qianlong" and "Bao Qingtian" have been broadcast on almost all mainland TV stations, and each time they are broadcast they will achieve very good ratings.

At that time, Chen Derong was regarded as a goddess by a generation, and Ma Jingtao's roar was not embarrassing at all.

However, by the end of the 1990s, TV dramas from the other side of the Taiwan Strait began to decline for the first time. The single variety of dramas, the outflow of talent, and the shortage of funds were all the reasons for the decline.

In the mid-to-late 1990s, Korean dramas began to imitate Taiwanese dramas, and relied on the three magic weapons of amnesia, car accidents, and incurable diseases to become better than their predecessors. People who liked Taiwanese dramas in the past have gone to watch Korean dramas.

Mainland China's TV dramas are also making rapid progress, especially in terms of production costs, which are becoming more and more generous, and the production level of TV dramas is also becoming more sophisticated.

There is more investment in mainland TV dramas, which also attracts many artists from the other side of the Taiwan Strait to go north to seek gold, which naturally leads to an outflow of Taiwanese drama talents.

For the above reasons, life in Taiwanese dramas at that time was very difficult. It could be said that they needed people and no one, and they had no money. They could only rely on some low-cost and small-produced TV series to survive.

It is also for this reason that the new drama planned by Chai Pingzhi cannot attract investment at all.

Just as Chai Ping was scratching his head sadly, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"Hey, Mr. Chai, there is an entertainment company in Hong Kong who just called and said that they are interested in our TV series and want to discuss investment."

Upon hearing the word "investment", Chai Pingzhi immediately asked: "What is the name of this company?"

“Call Puppy Entertainment!”
