Lao Yi and Vice President Wang and others did not see Sun Quan that night.

Sun Quan did not appear, and it was Xue Zihan and the staff brought by Xue Zihan from Salted Fish Film and Television this time who went to the banquet.

This is what Sun Quan did on purpose.

He is the author of the starting point, and this identity is destined to put him in a disadvantageous position when talking about cooperation with the starting point and grand literature.

Some things are inconvenient to say.

And Xue Zihan is different, she has nothing to do with the starting point and Shanda Literature, and she is also a shareholder of Salted Fish Film and Television, as well as the general manager.

Her identity is convenient for her to be able to do business and fight based on reason when she talks about cooperation with Lao Yi and Vice President Wang.

Sun Quan, as the landlord, Lao Yi, Vice President Wang and others specially rushed over from the magic capital to talk to him about cooperation, and it was unreasonable for him not to come forward.

So I have to thank Vice President Wang for his strength at noon!

Vice President Wang's strength made Sun Quan no longer see them, and became reasonable and understandable.

For example, Lao Yi, that night, when he saw that among the people who went to the banquet tonight, there was no Sun Quan, and it was Xue Zihan who took the lead, although he smiled bitterly, he could understand why Sun Quan avoided it.

Not only can he understand, but Vice President Wang standing beside him can also understand.

Although he was very angry in his heart, he also understood why Sun Quan didn't come tonight.

In his mind: that kid surnamed Sun is a young man in the end, young and vigorous, and he must still be angry in his heart, and he doesn't want to see him again.

At this moment, in addition to holding his breath, he was also a little annoyed.

I regret why I didn't control my temper at noon.

At noon today, he received a call from CEO Brother Qiang, in which Brother Qiang emphasized the importance of taking a stake in the second and third seasons of "Dead Wishes", and asked him to promote this cooperation, which is related to the company's grand strategy.

Brother Qiang's instructions made him Wang have no way out.

Brother Qiang has been calling for the IP strategy since he was the CEO of Shanda Literature from the beginning, and he knows that this is what Brother Qiang has wanted to do most in recent years.

It can even be said that it is related to Brother Qiang's entire career.

If it can really be done, Shanda Literature can become the Marvel company in China, and it is not impossible to have a market value of hundreds of billions.

Therefore, before he personally called Sun Quan this afternoon, he thought about it in his heart, apologize when he should apologize, bow his head when he should bow his head, and no matter what, he must promote this cooperation.

Otherwise, after returning to the Demon Capital this time, Brother Qiang will definitely have no good fruit for him to eat.

Can......

At this time, he didn't see Sun Quan's figure, which made his heart sink and he had a bad premonition.

"Hello Mr. Xue, where is Mr. Sun?"

Vice President Wang suppressed the bad premonition in his heart, squeezed out a smile, strode forward, and stretched out his hand to shake Xue Zihan to say hello, while asking if Sun Quan would come tonight.

Xue Zihan noticed that Vice President Wang just called Sun Quan "Mr. Sun", this title made the corners of her mouth slightly curvature, she remembered that at noon today, this Vice President Wang did not have this attitude.

Cooperated with Vice President Wang to shake hands, Xue Zihan smiled: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, Mr. Sun asked me to apologize to a few people, he had something to do temporarily, and went back to his hometown, but it doesn't matter, before Mr. Sun leaves, let me be fully responsible for receiving a few people, if your company wants to invest in our drama, you can also talk to me, and I am also fully responsible!

"This ......"

Although he had a hunch, he was really sure that Sun Quan would not come tonight, and Vice President Wang still frowned and was disappointed.

Lao Yi behind him also frowned and smiled bitterly.

They are not stupid, and they don't believe that Sun Quan really has something to do to return to his hometown.

Similar excuses, they have used many times when they were in the company before, and they are simply not too familiar.

But if they don't believe it in their hearts, on the surface, they can't expose Xue Zihan's lies.

It's really exposed, in addition to offending the other party to death, what other benefits can this cooperation be lost?

Lao Yi put away the wry smile on his face, took two steps forward, and stretched out his hand to invite, "Manager Xue, please inside! Let's go in and talk about it, okay? We have already arranged the box, please!"

"Okay, Mr. Wang, Mr. Yi, let's go together?"

"Good!"

"Good!"

......

The group entered the hotel laughing and talking, and on the surface, no one could see that there was any disharmony between them.

A table of delicacies that was more abundant than noon was served to the table, and the wine was also served.

A table of people ate and drank, and about half an hour later, at noon, the old things were brought up again, talking about investment and shares.

It was Lao Yi who spoke this time.

He said he would take a 20% stake and they could accept it, and then asked how much money they would have to pay?

Xue Zihan smiled, put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Yi, there is one thing, I want to make a statement on behalf of our Salted Fish Film and Television!"

"What? Mr. Xue, you said!"

Vice President Wang looked puzzled and stretched out his hand to signal.

Lao Yi frowned slightly, looking at the smile on Xue Zihan's face at this time, he felt bad in his heart.

Xue Zihan: "Well, that's the case! Our Salted Fish Film and Television drama has the first, second and third seasons, although it is nominally the same TV series, but each season, we operate as a separate project, so ......"

After a pause, Xue Zihan's eyes swept over the faces of Vice President Wang and Lao Yi, "So, if your company really wants to cooperate, we can only talk about cooperation in the second season at present, as for the third season...... We'll have to wait until the second season goes live. ”

Vice President Wang: "......"

Lao Yi: "......"

The two looked at each other, and each saw that the other's brows were furrowed.

Can only invest in the second season of Dead Wishes?

Lao Yi thought about it, squeezed out a smile, and asked, "Why? ”

Xue Zihan was about to answer, Vice President Wang suddenly raised his hand to stop Lao Yi from continuing, Vice President Wang nodded to Xue Zihan and said with a smile: "Okay! Since this is the case, then let's talk about the cooperation in the second season! How much does our company need to invest in 20% of the investment amount? Manager Xue, please speak up!"

Lao Yi was a little surprised, and subconsciously looked at Vice President Wang.

Obviously, I don't understand why Vice President Wang doesn't want to fight for it at all on this issue, so he directly agrees to only talk about the cooperation in the second season?

He couldn't get into Vice President Wang's mind and look at Vice President Wang's thoughts, so Lao Yi could only wonder in his heart.

Xue Zihan was also a little surprised that Vice President Wang was so easy to talk about this issue, but she smiled and didn't think much about it, this afternoon, Sun Quan had already communicated with her on the phone.

She understood what Sun Quan meant.

——Sun Quan is very confident in the second season of this show, and believes that after the second season is launched, the popularity of this drama will be even higher, and if you talk to someone about the cooperation in the third season, you can talk about better cooperation conditions.

So Sun Quan said that he would not talk to anyone about the cooperation in the third season for the time being.

Regarding Sun Quan's idea and decision, Xue Zihan felt that it made sense.

The first season has become famous, and she also feels that as long as the reputation of the second season does not decline too much, it should be easy to get better cooperation conditions when she talks about cooperation with others in the third season.

Similar examples, the film and television circles at home and abroad, I don't know how many have appeared for a long time.

"Fifteen million!"

Xue Zihan quoted the price with a smile.

But he was startled by Vice President Wang and Lao Yi.

Vice President Wang: "What? Are you sure you're right? It's just a 20% stake in the second quarter, and it costs fifteen million? That's too exaggerated, isn't it?"

Lao Yi raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, Manager Xue! If I'm not mistaken, when you promoted this drama before, it seemed that the total investment of the whole drama was only 30 million, right? Why is it that 20% of the shares in the second season now cost 15 million funds......? You're a lion's mouth!"

Without waiting for Xue Zihan to answer, Vice President Wang, who frowned, shook his head and said: "Five million at most! 20 percent of the investment is 5 million, and the total investment in the second quarter is 25 million! How much did you invest in the first quarter? The total investment of 25 million in the second quarter should be more than enough, right? Manager Xue! When we talk about cooperation, we must be sincere to each other, and you can't make random offers! That is not a sincere attitude of cooperation! Please be cautious!"

Xue Zihan looked at the assistant beside him, and under the incomprehensible gaze of Vice President Wang and Lao Yi, Xue Zihan stretched out his right hand in front of the assistant.

The assistant didn't ask anything, and immediately opened the briefcase he was carrying, took out a document from it and handed it to Xue Zihan.

Xue Zihan glanced at the file name, smiled, got up and handed it to Vice President Wang opposite.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Yi, did I make a random offer just now, you will know after reading this budget book, please take a look!"

"Budget book?" Lao Yi was a little surprised.

Vice President Wang looked at the smiling Xue Zihan and took the budget book with a calm face.

Outcome......

As soon as he opened the document, his eyes were dumbfounded.

Lao Yi next to him saw that his expression was wrong, so he hurried over to take a look, and his eyes were also dull.

This made the subordinates who came from the magic capital with them very curious, did the two leaders see ghosts? Why did they all have such expressions?

Vice President Wang raised his eyes to look at Xue Zihan, who was still smiling, with an ugly face, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and slowly asked, "Manager Xue......! It's an exaggeration, isn't it? It's just that the adaptation rights of the original TV series for the second season will sell for 10 million? If it's the TV series adaptation rights for the whole book, how much are you going to sell for it? Do you plan to sell 30 million for the three seasons of TV series?"

Lao Yi also came back to his senses at this time, and added with a wry smile: "Not only that, but there is also a screenwriter adaptation fee of 500,000 yuan, so calculated, a script in this second season is worth 10.5 million, Manager Xue!

Looking carefully at this time, the eyes of Vice President Wang and Lao Yi were a little annoyed.

Xue Zihan didn't seem to see their hesitation, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he asked rhetorically: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Yi, do you really think this price is very expensive?"

If it was half a year ago, the price of the original adaptation rights of one season of our show was indeed not worth so much, but what is the market now?

After a pause, without waiting for the two to answer, Xue Zihan continued: "In the first season of our show, the total number of viewers in Youku today has exceeded 50 million.

Hehe, it's not an exaggeration to say that after a period of time, the total number of viewers of this drama will exceed 100 million, and the difficulty should not be great, right? So, the profitability of our first season has been proven, and the sequel to such a drama will almost certainly make money, under such a premise, the price of the original adaptation rights of this drama has doubled, isn't it normal?

Vice President Wang was speechless for a while, and looked at Lao Yi beside him.

Lao Yi thought for a moment and smiled bitterly, "But you have multiplied too much! How can there be such a sky-high price in the market now? There is no precedent, right?"

"Yes!"

Xue Zihan not only did not refute, but also agreed, but then said: "But before our drama, there has never been an online drama with such a high popularity and reputation in the market, and the two CEOs have to admit this, right?"

With such a sharp pair of teeth, Vice President Wang stared at Xue Zihan coldly.

Obviously.

Seeing this, Lao Yi could only continue to argue, "Five million! The valuation of the adaptation rights of the original work in a single season is five million, and the three seasons are fifteen million, which is also the highest price in the industry, is it okay Manager Xue?"

Xue Zihan shook his head, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Yi, have you ever thought about it? In the first season of our drama, there was neither a big director, nor a big star, not even a well-known actor, and the investment was not very large. With the same actors and the same amount of investment, do you think the dramas filmed can reach the current popularity and word-of-mouth heights?"

In theory, she makes a lot of sense.

But Vice President Wang was still unconvinced, "Manager Xue, we admit that the adaptation value of the book "The Last Wish of the Dead" is very high, but we still don't think that the adaptation rights of the second season are worth 10 million! I agree with what Lao Yi just said, 5 million is OK! 10 million is not good!"

Lao Yi nodded on the side.

Xue Zihan shook his head, his smile didn't even decrease by a point, his hands were folded on the table in front of him, and he said with a smile: "Two, tell you the truth! Admitting that the original adaptation rights of the second season are worth 10 million is the premise of whether our two companies can cooperate! If the two CEOs insist that it is not worth the price, then it is fine, and the transaction is not benevolent! We can also look forward to the next cooperation, what do you two think?"

Vice President Wang: "......"

Lao Yi: "......"

The two of them didn't know what else to say for a while.

They all felt that Xue Zihan was playing a scoundrel, but they had nothing to do.

Xue Zihan said it clearly and admitted it...... It is the premise of cooperation.

If you don't admit it, you can only look forward to the next cooperation.

And the task of their trip ...... Brother Qiang has made it very clear that he must negotiate this cooperation and take a stake in the second and third seasons of "Wish of the Dead".

Now that the other party is not considering talking about the third season for the time being, is this second season also going to be broken up because of the price?
