Chapter 965: Victory in hand
Jared intends to convince Barris.
He said, "Balis, you've already seen the first episode of that cartoon. Don't you think it's marketable?"
"If you only watch the first episode, there is indeed some market. But I never think that a cartoon from Yanguo can help us get out of the current predicament. ”
Jared frowned and said, "Balis, you are biased against the Yanguo cartoon. ”
"No, Jared, I'm telling the truth," Balis said. No country in the West has ever imported cartoons from the Yan country, which is enough to explain everything. Of course, I'm not saying that Yanguo's cartoons are bad. Rather, it is a cultural difference, and their cartoons do not suit our country. ”
"There are cultural differences. Not every excellent cartoon of Yanguo is suitable for our country. However, I think Transformers is an exception. Transformers would be a great fit. Balis, I think we should go and give it a try. Since the cartoons of our own country and Western countries can no longer help us get out of the predicament. So why not try something new? Maybe it will work?"
Balis thought for a long time, then finally said, "Okay, Jared. You have a point, too. Then let's give it a try. It's just that we want to keep the price as low as possible. Also, is it necessary for you to go to Yanguo to talk in person?"
Jared said: "Of course, the price will be kept as low as possible. But only if I go to Yanguo to talk in person, I will be relieved. Balis, you may not know it yet, the author of that cartoon has a very high popularity in the country of Yan. He has a high level of achievement in many fields. I also seemed more sincere when I went in person. ”
Balis said, "Jared, you seem to be exaggerating. ”
Jared said, "Maybe." But from what I've heard, that's it. I'm actually a little skeptical. But anyway, I think he should be a very capable person. I should have gone over and talked to him personally. ”
Balis said, "Well, Jared, good luck!"
Jared said, "Thank you! I think I'll have good luck." ”
......
Yuanxi Village.
After a long journey, Jared finally arrived at Yuanxi Village.
accompanied by Gong Zhangming.
Jared invited Gong Zhangming as an introducer, and Gong Zhangming certainly had no opinion.
Gong Zhangming has been staying in Xianzhen for the past two days, and then waited for Jared to come over.
Jared arrived at Immortal Town yesterday evening.
After resting for the night, and then this morning, the two of them went to Yuanxi Village together.
At the entrance of the village.
Jared looked around for a while, and then said, "Gong, is this village really as amazing as you say?" It doesn't seem to be anything special except that the scenery is very beautiful and the popularity is also very high!"
Gong Zhangming said with a smile: "The special thing is naturally in the village. It is not visible here. ”
Jared said, "Okay, then let's go into the village and have a good look." Also, Gong, is Mr. Li Han really as powerful as you say? Is he really good at many fields?"
Gong Zhangming said: "Yes." And he should be even more powerful than I say. And very young. Jared, when you meet him, don't doubt his strength just because of his age. ”
Jared said, "Of course not. There are geniuses in this world. Being young doesn't mean you don't have strength. ”
Gong Zhangming smiled: "Yes, that's exactly the case. By the way, shall we visit the village first, or should we go to Mr. Li Han first to discuss cooperation?"
Jared said: "Let's talk about cooperation first." When the cooperation is negotiated, the mood of the village will be better. ”
Gong Zhangming smiled again: "That's right. Then I'll tell Mr. Li Han about it now. ”
Jared nodded, "Thank you." Gong. ”
......
In a reception room in the farm office building.
Li Han met Jared and Gong Zhangming.
After Li Han shook hands with Jared, he smiled slightly: "Mr. Jared, you are welcome to Yuanxi Village! I feel very honored that you can come." ”
Jared said, "Thank you, I'm honored to be here. Mr. Li Han, you are much younger than I imagined. ”
Li Han smiled: "I am very happy that Mr. Jared said this. ”
After a few words of greeting, the two of them naturally got down to business.
The main thing is actually simple, the main thing is the copyright fee that Jared introduced.
It's the first season of Transformers, and it's 35 episodes of 25 minutes each.
And then how much is each episode?
Jared asked Li Han first, "I don't know how Mr. Li Han plans to sell it?"
Li Han asked Jared what his budget was?
The price is low, and Li Han will definitely not sell it.
It's not that Li Han cares about the price, but that "Transformers", a work that is destined to become a classic, is impossible to sell at a low price.
The price is low, and I am sorry for this classic work in my previous life.
If it is bought by a domestic TV station, Li Han can sell it lower.
But now that Jared's Hughton TV is to be bought, it can't be sold low.
Jared groaned for a long time, but still bid first.
He bid 120,000 episodes, which is the currency unit of the Yan country.
The production cost of cartoons is very high.
The cost of each minute of animation can range from thousands of yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, or even higher.
Except, of course, the production is very rough for those cartoons.
The cost of Qinghe Animation's production of "Transformers" is about 20,000 yuan per minute, and the production cost of an episode is about 500,000 yuan.
The price that Li Han sells to domestic TV stations is almost 150,000 yuan per episode.
This price is not low. Just by selling cartoons, Li Han has already made money exponentially.
Generally speaking, the main income of cartoons is often not by selling cartoons themselves, but by various derivative products in the later stage.
Now Jared is bidding 120,000 episodes, and the price is actually not low.
However, what he wants to buy now is Transformers, which is a bit low.
Of course, this does not mean that Jared is not sincere enough.
If it's another company's cartoon, this price is actually high.
No way, the current TV stations are very strong. They tend to keep the price of cartoons very low.
Therefore, it is very difficult for today's cartoons to recover their costs simply by selling them to TV stations.
Except, of course, Li Han's cartoons.
The TV station didn't dare to lower the price of Li Han's cartoons.
It's just that Li Han didn't sell it at a high price.
If he wants to sell it at a high price, there will definitely be TV stations willing to buy an episode of 200,000 or 300,000.
Therefore, Jared thought that the price he gave was enough to make Li Han extremely excited.
First, the price is indeed not low.
Second, he is Languo Hughton TV. A big TV station in Languo wants to buy it, and this is also a very face-saving thing.
So, Jared has the win.
