Chapter 556: Bargaining
When the semi-finals of "The Voice of China" were broadcast, and its ratings exceeded 5, reaching 5.21, the popularity of this show reached a new height.
In recent years, there are very few programs whose ratings can break 5.
There is no doubt that "The Voice of China" has become the ace program of Blueberry Channel.
On the afternoon of the day when the ratings of this episode of the show came out, Sun Quan received a message from Xue Zihan - "The leaders of the station are holding a meeting to discuss the possibility and necessity of cooperating with you on another program." ”
Is this probably a good sign?
Sun Quan didn't have any excited emotions, what was there to be excited about?
When the ratings of "The Voice of China" exceeded 5, as the planner of this show, did he still have to worry that he could not find a TV station to cooperate with for his next show?
Just like the authors of their online literature circle.
When he is not famous, he is still a dead man on the street, he has no right to speak, and he can even be said to have no human rights.
What kind of contract does the website throw at you, you can only choose to sign it or not, two more beeps, and the editor will most likely ignore you, and make it clear that the attitude is to love to sign or not.
Anyway, like you, there is no more website than you, and there is no less than you, and when you meet an editor who is more turtle hair, listen to your beep a few words, and simply tell you - "Forget it, I won't sign your book." ”
But if you're a famous author who has proven your strength, the editor will have a different face in front of you.
Before his rebirth, he Sun Quan had been in the online literature circle for more than ten years, and he also knew some authors from various websites, including many authors who earned tens of millions of manuscript fees a year.
As for how did he know the author of that level?
The reason is also simple, before the other party became famous, he was also a street fighter like his grandson, and his favorite thing to do on the street is to sign up for a group to keep warm, and he usually likes to chat and blow water in some groups when he has nothing to do.
When the other party becomes famous, it is unlikely that he will be pulled, but it is still okay to chat a few words once in a while.
In those years, Sun Quan had heard of some editors of big websites who were known for their coldness, and when faced with those authors who earned hundreds of thousands, or even millions, every year, his posture was so low that he couldn't believe it.
Coquettish, cute, stalking, and contacting for months like chasing a goddess to chase behind those authors to make an appointment.
Reality is so realistic.
If the other party is arrogant to you, it must be that he looks down on you, and you have nothing to respect the other party.
If you are good enough, the proud people will flatter you, and the cold people will also pester you.
Don't say it from afar, only say that he is all himself.
After being reborn, as his fame grew, every year, more than a dozen or twenty editors of the outstation quietly added him QQ, trying to pull him over.
Some offered him a high price, some were more aggressive, and let him open the price; and some promised him all kinds of benefits, such as how many and what grade of recommendation positions are guaranteed for each new book, the editor-in-chief is in charge of his books, and helps contact publishing houses and film and television companies to help him sell various copyrights, and so on.
Therefore, Sun Quan has long understood a truth.
If the other party is not active enough, it must be that you have not made the other party excited enough.
If a person can bring enough benefits to the other party, then there is no doubt that the other party will definitely take the initiative to come to you and be willing to give you a satisfactory treatment.
......
Really.
In the evening of the same day, Sun Quan received a call from Xue Zihan.
Xue Zihan: "Ah Quan, Manager Wang of our Taili Copyright Department asked me to ask you to have dinner tonight, do you have time?"
"Are you coming?" asked Sun Quan.
Xue Zihan: "Well, of course, he didn't know you well, so he also invited me to help me be a lobbyist." ”
Sun Quan: "Sister, do you know the other party's purpose tonight? Or rather, are you willing to agree to the conditions I mentioned earlier? Have you heard about this?"
Xue Zihan was silent and said hesitantly: "I heard a little, but it may not be accurate. ”
"Oh? What did you hear? Agree or disagree?"
Xue Zihan: "It doesn't seem to be completely agreed, it seems that I want Manager Wang to find a way to try to press the conditions with you......"
"Pressure?"
Sun Quan laughed.
Xue Zihan: "Yes, it seems to be the case, I don't know very well. ”
Sun Quan subconsciously wanted to refuse Manager Wang's invitation.
The words of rejection came to his lips, but he changed his mind again.
"Okay, then let's meet that Manager Wang tonight!"
He wanted to see how Manager Wang planned to press his conditions, and to what extent.
......
Night.
In a Hui restaurant, Sun Quan met Xue Zihan and Manager Wang.
Manager Wang's face is as white as jade, about thirty-six or seventeen years old, combing his big back hair, wearing a simple jacket, black trousers and black leather shoes, maybe he is deliberately pretending to be old?
When Sun Quan used to look at officialdom, he noticed a phenomenon.
The male protagonists of officialdom are all relatively young, but because they are the protagonists, the officials are promoted relatively quickly, and then there is a problem - they are young, but they are in a high position, giving people an unreliable image of having no hair on the side of their mouths and not doing things well, and they are often not trusted by their superiors or recognized by their subordinates.
So those young male protagonists in officialdom will deliberately wear some old-fashioned clothes and dress up in an old-fashioned manner.
Tonight, Sun Quan can be regarded as finding a little bit of that feeling in this Manager Wang.
When he held the hand that Manager Wang took the initiative to hand over, Sun Quan was thinking about a question in his mind - this person is young, and he can sit as the manager of the copyright department of Blueberry Channel, is his own skills superhuman? Or is his background superhuman?
In the next contact, Sun Quan observed the other party intentionally or unintentionally.
I slowly found that this Manager Wang is eloquent and quite eloquent.
When he sat in the box, he mentioned the Hui cuisine in this Hui restaurant, and he mentioned his Sun Quan's hometown, saying that he specially invited Sun Quan to eat hometown food today.
In addition, he also talked about some famous dishes in Hui cuisine, and even included a small allusion about Hui cuisine.
This eloquence, Sun Quan is willing to bow down.
While chatting, Sun Quan suddenly asked him a question, "Manager Wang, your lover must be a big beauty, right?"
It's a bit of a whimsical topic.
At that time, Manager Wang and Xue Zihan were stunned.
Manager Wang just talked about the production process of the famous stinky mandarin fish in Hui cuisine, how did Sun Quan suddenly change the topic from stinky mandarin fish to whether his lover is a big beauty?
Manager Wang subconsciously glanced at Xue Zihan next to him, and when he looked at Sun Quan again, he laughed and asked, "Little Sun, why did you suddenly ask me this? Could it be that you have seen my lover?"
Xue Zihan also looked at Sun Quan curiously.
Sun Quan smiled and said, "No, I just suddenly felt that you must be very attractive to girls if you have such a good eloquence as Manager Wang, so ...... Hehe. ”
"That's right...... Haha......"
Manager Wang laughed, and Xue Zihan also smiled.
Manager Wang waved his hand, "It's over, it's over!" No, no, my eloquence is just average, yes, average!"
Xue Zihan glanced at Manager Wang amusedly, and said to Sun Quan: "You really guessed right, Manager Wang's lover is really a big beauty!"
......
After this topic, the atmosphere at the table became more harmonious.
But no matter how harmonious the atmosphere is, there will always be a time when the picture is exhausted.
Our ancestors have long told us that there is no good banquet, and if you give a courtesy, you must ask for something.
Manager Wang is not familiar with Sun Quan at all, but he invited Sun Quan to eat and drink tonight, which naturally has his purpose.
When the wine was familiar, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, restrained the smile on his face, and asked Sun Quan, "Little Sun!
Sun Quan lowered his eyebrows and picked up the vegetables with chopsticks, and when he heard the words, he didn't raise his eyes, but asked with a smile: "How do you want to discuss?"
Manager Wang got up and took the wine bottle to help Sun Quan refill the glass, and said with a smile while pouring the wine: "I heard Director Lin say that about the new show, you have two conditions, one is a 10-second advertisement like "The Voice of China", right?"
Sun Quan hummed, raised his eyes to look at him, and smiled.
After pouring the wine, Manager Wang put down the wine bottle and sat back in place with a smile, "This condition is not negotiable, we can fully agree to you." ”
Sun Quan smiled in his heart, chewed a peanut, and answered: "So the second condition can't be agreed to at all, right?"
At this time, he still lowered his eyebrows, as if he was admiring the wine and food on the table.
"No, no, no, how is it possible? The second condition is a 5% share of the advertising fee, right? Brother, I came to see you today, mainly because I want to discuss this with you! I can't agree at all, but it's not ...... Hehe, as you know, this 5% advertising fee share ratio may be a bit high...... We...... Hey, do you think you can give my brother me a face, and lower this ratio a little? Huh?"
"Drop a little?"
Sun Quan raised his eyes to look at him and asked funny: "How much is a little drop? 1%, give me 4%?"
Manager Wang shook his head with a smile and gave Sun Quan an OK gesture.
“3%?”
Sun Quan asked.
Manager Wang nodded with a smile, "Yes! 3% is already a lot, do you think, if the ratings of the new program we cooperate with can reach the height of "The Voice of China", how much will the 3% advertising fee be? Right? Can you give my brother this face? As long as you agree to this condition, we can sign the cooperation agreement on the new program tomorrow! Hehe, I think Xiaosun, you also want to produce the new program and bring it to the market as soon as possible, right?"
3%......
Sun Quan pursed his lips, smiled, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and saluted Manager Wang opposite, Manager Wang saw it, thinking that he had agreed, and hurriedly showed a happy smile and picked up the wine glass, "Little Sun, thank you, thank you, I ......"
"Manager Wang, you may have misunderstood, I didn't agree!"
Sun Quan interrupted him amusedly.
Manager Wang's smile froze, frowned and asked, "You don't agree......?"
Sun Quan: "I just want to say, Manager Wang, let's just drink tonight and don't talk about things!
