Chapter 407: Investing in Documentaries
Without further ado, the next day, Liu Yan gave Mao Yuchen a day of paid leave and asked her to move, and Liu Yan wanted to deal with this matter before she left the capital.
She didn't worry about Zhang Pei living alone, plus Zhang Pei is now divorcing Liu Chengyu, in case something goes wrong, such as Liu Chengyu coming to the door again, Zhang Pei was bullied or something, Mao Yuchen has a strong physique and can help Zhang Pei, of course, Liu Yan hopes that this is just thinking too much, this couple used to be so affectionate, will it be tense after tearing their faces?
In any case, it is also good that Zhang Pei has someone to take care of.
On Tuesday morning, Liu Yan made a very formal and separate appointment with Ye Ziliang to discuss the investment in the filming of "Cute Pet Hospital" 3.
This is an unexpected and timely rain for Ye Ziliang, and he has never equated Liu Yan with investors.
Liu Yan had already learned from Yu Zhan that Ye Ziliang had been very aggrieved during this time, and his documentary had only won fame, he had not gained any benefit from it, and his life had not improved in the slightest.
The fundamental reason is not that the quality of "Cute Pet Hospital" is not good, but because of the grievances between Ye Ziliang and the national station, even if the national station admits instigation, admits defeat, and quits in the later stage, the matter has long been known to everyone, and netizens have seen enough jokes.
Therefore, no matter how well Ye Ziliang's documentary is filmed and how high the number of broadcasts is, no big company is willing to invest money, who will touch the big bad head of the national station for a little-known online documentary director, and whether they will broadcast advertisements on the national station in the future! There are many video owners on the Internet, and they choose any one of them, and they are all better than Ye Ziliang!
"According to the title price of 100,000 per episode, I can give you 200,000 first, shoot two episodes, which need to be completed within a month, and posted on the Internet, if the effect is not good, we will stop cooperating, if the response is good, we will continue to shoot, according to the rhythm of one episode every two weeks, and finally shoot a total of 10 episodes. ”
Liu Yan is very optimistic about "Cute Pet Hospital", because she directly pressed all the assets on the company's current accounts.
When soliciting sponsorship everywhere, Ye Ziliang also had a general understanding of the market situation, the naming fee of the regular documentary of the national station starts at 1 million yuan per episode, and the price of online video will be much lower, from thousands to hundreds of thousands, which is the difference between hitting the street and the gods. For him, a rookie director, although he didn't hit the street, he didn't have the popularity of a great god, Liu Yan was willing to pay 100,000 yuan, which was already quite a high price.
He felt bitter in his heart again, and said with a smile on his face, "I begged my grandfather to sue my grandmother, I found so many companies, but no one took care of me, and in the end, the people around me were willing to lend a helping hand to me." ”
"Everything is difficult at the beginning, I have already learned this truth, when I first started as an anchor, there were only a dozen people watching, and no one talked to me, you see that now I have more than 7 million fans, everything has to be done step by step, I help you are also promoting my own online store. ”
"You can obviously promote it on the Internet, with your current popularity, as long as you raise your arms, fans will definitely buy it," Ye Ziliang felt that Liu Yan was giving him charity.
"But I don't want to position myself as an internet celebrity anymore, and I still do it myself like I used to. ”
Ye Ziliang is also a very smart kind of person, Liu Yan said a word, he understood what she meant in seconds, Internet celebrities are equivalent to the lowest level of the entertainment industry, and she wants to be her own boss.
"Are you really sure to invest in my documentary?" Ye Ziliang asked her solemnly.
"I'm pretty sure, you can start looking for inspiration first, planning the content of the third episode, and when we officially sign a contract with Cat'Garden at the end of September, you can start the official shooting," Liu Yan has already planned everything, as Zhang Pei said, and then only need to come step by step.
"Oh yes, I have one more basic requirement, the shooting team you form later must have members of the 'little ladies' involved. ”
"Of course. ”
Ye Ziliang pondered for a moment and said, "Although we are friends, but brothers also have to settle accounts, it is useless for you to just say, we have to sign a contract, when will your money be sent to me, how many times, and liquidated damages and other issues, all of which must be written clearly in black and white, I don't want my labor to be in vain, and you don't want you to spend money in vain and not get any substantial benefits." ”
Liu Yan nodded, "Of course, you have to sign the agreement first, the specific content of the agreement, I have asked a lawyer to draft, it will be prepared in about a week, I am already on the set of the ancient capital at that time, I can't spare time, my mother will ask you to meet again, I have told her your phone number, you can also write down her number now, if there are other problems when signing the contract, feel free to contact me." ”
……
In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Yan and Yu Zhan went to the airport to pick up the plane, and Zhou Buyan and Wu Qu took the same plane to the capital to participate in the calligraphy auction.
The two didn't wait long at the pick-up gate, and they saw Zhou Buyan waving happily to them, Wu Qu walked with him, smiling, neither of them brought large luggage, like a business person, one person carried a black travel bag.
Yu Zhan said to Wu Qu, "I'll help you get the bag." ”
Wu Qu smiled gratefully, "No, no, my injury is almost healed, and it's still okay to carry a bag." ”
Half a month ago, when Liu Yan was still filming in the ancient capital, Wu Qu had been discharged from the hospital, and left the ancient capital with his mother and wife to return to his hometown to continue to recuperate.
Gudu University and Capital University opened at about the same time, and Zhou Buyan had been officially in class for several days, and he also asked for leave from the school when he came to the capital this time.
Liu Yan noticed that Zhou Buyan was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, which he had not worn before.
Zhou Buyan said helplessly, "My glasses were put last week, and now it is becoming more and more difficult to read the blackboard in class, and when I went to the hospital for an examination, I found that I was more than 100 degrees myopia." Hey, I didn't have myopia in high school, and I didn't expect to become a four-eyed field chicken in college. ”
Yu Zhan said with a smile, "The university is not restrained, the eyes are not standardized, and it is easy to be short-sighted by staring at the mobile phone every day." As soon as she heard this, Liu Yan felt that she couldn't always play with her mobile phone in the future.
For example, Wu Qu's medical expenses and living expenses during his hospitalization in the ancient capital were all borne by the Northwest Branch of the Calligraphy Association, and after Su Maolin's case was closed, they would also claim compensation from Su Maolin and Su Xuezhen.
