Chapter 631: Sky-high copyright fees, the whole network is boiling (the first update, ask for subscription)

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang Huan dialed Ren Min's phone: "Director Ren, are you busy?"

Ren Min's hearty laughter came: "No matter how busy I am, I'm not as busy as your Master Wang Huan, why do you have time to call me?"

"It's the same thing I told you last time. ”

Wang Huan said with a smile: "Now, Tianxing Pictures' "Wulin Gaiden" has been fully produced, and it is estimated that it will be able to pass the review tomorrow." The next step is about its TV rights. I don't know if Director Ren has communicated with your station?"

Ren Min said: "Oh, congratulations." I have already told the senior management that Taili is very interested in "Wulin Gaiden". As long as it is convenient for you, you can come over at any time to discuss cooperation. ”

"Then at four o'clock this afternoon, I'll go to the headquarters of Tomato Terrace, is this time convenient?"

Wang Huan asked.

Ren Min said: "I'll ask first." ”

After speaking, Ren Min hung up the phone.

A few minutes later, I called again: "That's set, four o'clock in the afternoon." At that time, we will send Director He to connect with you. Director He has been in charge of the source of the TV series in Taiwan, so will you discuss with him then?"

"Okay, thank you, Director Ren. ”

"You're welcome. ”

......

......

Tomato Desk Headquarters.

At half past six in the afternoon, in the large conference hall, Wang Huan and Director He sat opposite each other.

On the projector on the side of the conference hall, the PPT of "Wulin Gaiden" is playing.

Wang Huan put down the laser pointer in his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Director He, do you think my price of 3.8 million per episode is too high?"

Director He shook his head and smiled: "It's not too high, but it's ridiculously high." In my opinion, the price of 1.5 million episodes is more appropriate and cannot be higher. ”

"Haha, Director He, you really know how to joke. ”

Wang Huanpi didn't smile, "You have already tried the source of the film just now." I counted it, in the process of watching the three episodes of "Wulin Gaiden" in your test group, a total of 56 times burst into laughter, and there was no urine point in the whole process, and everyone watched it very attentively. From this point alone, it is destined to explode in the ratings after the broadcast. Like this, a TV series that is almost certain to become a ratings trump card, do you think the price of 1.5 million per episode can be handled? I can say that if it weren't for the urgency of time, even if this TV series was 5 million per episode, I would be reluctant to sell it. ”

In the business war, there is no emotion.

Even if the relationship between Wang Huan and Tomato is good, at this critical moment, everyone will ensure their own interests, rather than giving the benefits to others because of ridiculous personal feelings.

Negotiations are becoming more and more tense.

Wang Huan grasped Tomato Channel's intention to use a good drama to compete with Mango Station and compete for the first provincial Taiwan, and bit the price and did not let go.

However, Director He of Tomato Channel knew that Wang Huan had to sell the copyright of "Wulin Gaiden" in a short period of time, and he also kept the price very low.

The two sides do not give in to each other.

Heard Wang Huan's words.

Director He smiled faintly: "Mr. Wang, the ratings are just your personal guesses, and the trial broadcast just now only represents the opinions of our sixteen testers, and only has a partial reference value." It's like when we bought the rights of any TV series in the past, we all went through this process. But many TV series that we are very optimistic about have completely hit the street in the end. So there are no absolutes. And the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" is not directed by Brother Huan himself, which is a big selling point. In addition, it doesn't have any big-name celebrities to join, so if we buy it, we are destined to pay more publicity costs later. In these respects, 1.5 million episodes is high enough. ”

Wang Huan shook his head: "Mr. He's words are wrong, if it is another TV series, you said that you have to pay for publicity, I agree with it." But "Wulin Gaiden" is different. Because of my relationship, it has already been completely matched with "The Secret Legend of Wulin", which can be said to be popular before it was broadcast, and this alone is a publicity effect that tens of millions of Chinese coins can't buy. Even if you don't publicize it, I'm afraid the media will take the initiative to help you publicize it. In addition......"

Wang Huan talked eloquently.

Director He listened carefully and took notes from time to time.

The negotiations lasted until late at night. However, both sides knew that time was running out, so everyone just had a late night snack and continued to negotiate all night.

Until six o'clock in the morning the next day.

Finally.

Wang Huan and Director He held their hands tightly.

Although the two of them were tired, they smiled brightly at the same time.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"

Everyone spoke at the same time.

After both parties have signed the agreement.

When Wang Huan was about to leave, Ren Min found him: "Wang Huan, our Tomato Channel intends to invite you to participate in the 2020 New Year's Eve concert, I wonder if you have time?"

Wang Huan shook his head with a smile: "Thank you." These days, I've received invitations from at least ten TV stations, even including Mango Channel. But I've been so busy lately that I don't have time to attend the New Year's Eve party. ”

Ren Min showed a look of disappointment in his eyes: "That's good...... It seems that I can only see you on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. ”

Gala?

Wang Huan smiled and did not answer.

The two said goodbye to each other.

......

......

At eight o'clock in the morning, the good news came.

"Wulin Gaiden" passed the review. The trial was passed in less than a day after it was submitted for trial, and Chen Gongzi's ability was terrifying.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Tomato Channel released the news.

It reads as follows:

"Major news: The forty-episode martial arts hilarious sitcom "Wulin Gaiden" created by Wang Huan is set for my station today. This TV series will be broadcast on Tomato Channel in prime time on New Year's Day night, with different martial arts, unique plots, and hilarious scenes, it will definitely bring you chic excitement, so stay tuned. ”

In Weibo, the exquisite promotional poster of "Wulin Gaiden" was released at the same time.

"Wulin Gaiden"

Director: Ding Cheng

Producer: Ding Cheng

Screenwriter: Wang Huan

Starring: Xiao Ziya, Liu Chen, He Kaishu......

After this news was released, it swept the whole network in an instant.

But half an hour later, an even more shocking news came out.

A reporter broke the news that this time the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", Wang Huan sold it to Tomato Channel at a price of 3 million per episode. In other words, Tomato Channel spent a sky-high price of 120 million to buy the TV premiere rights of "Wulin Gaiden".

The whole network is boiling!

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes.

You must know that Mango Channel, which spent a huge amount of money to invest in the auction and created with an all-star lineup, spent 90 million to buy the copyright!

Although "Wulin Gaiden" has the name of Wang Huan, its investment is only worth more than 10 million, and Wang Huan just provided a script. As for the entire TV series, not to mention a popular star, there is not even a second-tier star.

The leading actors, many netizens don't even know any of them.

Xiao Ziya, Liu Chen, He Kaishu, Who is this Nima!

Netizens were dumbfounded.

Under the official announcement Weibo of Tomato Channel, the comments exploded instantly.

", Brother Huan is too good, right?"

He just provided the script, and he really sold "Wulin Gaiden" at a sky-high price. ”

And Tomato TV really agreed to Brother Huan's request, and the broadcast time was set for New Year's Day. ”

"I don't even have a star, and the director is not a well-known director. In the end, what did Tomato Channel like about it, and it actually bought its premiere rights at such a high price. ”

Huaxin Media cried and fainted in the toilet. ”

"That's right, the investment of "Wulin Secret Biography" is 150 million, which is ten times that of "Wulin Gaiden"!"
