Chapter 1208 Even the sister-in-law is pitted

However, with regard to copyright.

Wu Xiaotian didn't forget, he just forgot to talk about this matter, as for the specific amount and cooperation method, he had already thought about it, so he said: "Director Zheng, I have an idea about the copyright fee. ”

"Hmm, what do you think?" Zheng Yun saw that Wu Xiaotian said more formally, and immediately cheered up and asked.

Wu Xiaotian's two conditions before, Beijing TV was able to agree to all of them, and now if the copyright fee is negotiated, it is estimated that the program "Run, Brother" will be completed.

Then his mission to Hujiang this time will be successfully completed.

This time, the director Xu Changgong gave him an explanation, as long as Wu Xiaotian didn't want it too outrageous, he would agree to it all.

But the director didn't say how much the so-called is not too outrageous.

Therefore, Zheng Yun actually has no score in his heart now.

Fortunately, Wu Xiaotian's previous two conditions were both expected by him, and they were not outrageous.

Wu Xiaotian looked at Zheng Yun and said with a smile: "Director Zheng, I have two plans for your reference. ”

"Speak. Zheng Yun nodded and asked Wu Xiaotian to speak.

Wu Xiaotian said slowly: "First of all, the first one is to give all the copyright fees directly. You also know that the copyright of my previous "Where Are You Going, Dad" was sold to a Korean TV station for 80 million, so ......"

"80 million?"

When Zheng Yun heard Wu Xiaotian say this amount, his body shook twice in fright.

But what Wu Xiaotian said was right, the copyright fee of "Where Are You Going, Dad" before was indeed like this. And with Wu Xiaotian's current popularity, as well as the popularity of running men, let alone 80 million, even if it is more than this, it is not surprising.

However, it's one thing not to be surprised. Whether Beijing TV can take it or not is another matter.

Even if the director of the station, Xu Changgong, agrees to pay such a fee at once to buy a one-year copyright, under the current system of Huaxia, they have no way to pass it in the TV station.

Zheng Yun's slight action did not escape Wu Xiaotian's eyes, and he smiled slightly: "However, because this is the first time to cooperate with Beijing TV, the copyright fee should not be so much, 60 million at a fixed price." ”

60 million?

That's an acceptable price!

In recent years, with the explosion of variety shows, many programs that have imported copyrights from abroad have been about the same price.

However, even so, plus the cost of the guests invited in the show, as well as the production cost, it is estimated that the total is not a small amount.

"There's another plan!"

Wu Xiaotian looked at Zheng Yun and continued: "It's just that my copyright fee is only symbolically charged, 5 million. But there is a requirement, that is, the advertising expenses during the broadcast of the running man program on Beijing TV need to be shared with me. As for how much, you can see if you agree with this plan or not, and then talk about it after agreeing. ”

After saying these two plans, he stopped and waited for Zheng Yun's answer.

Divide into?

This plan shocked Zheng Yun, the first time he heard about it, he had never operated it before.

"Mr. Wu, neither of these plans is for me to decide. ”

Zheng Yun looked at Wu Xiaotian with an embarrassed face, and said helplessly: "Why don't you wait for a while, I'll ask the director and listen to his instructions." ”

"Hmm!" Wu Xiaotian nodded, asking Zheng Yun to feel free.

Zheng Yun immediately stepped aside, took his mobile phone and dialed the mobile phone number of Xu Changgong, the director of Beijing TV Station.

After connecting it, I made it clear about the matter.

Moreover, he focused on the two plans proposed by Wu Xiaotian.

Zheng Yun kept talking on the side, while Wu Xiaotian was drinking coffee very leisurely, waiting for the results of the communication.

These two plans were decided after he had thought about them for a long time.

The first plan is to buy out the copyright for one year, although it is said that the copyright fee is much less than that of South Korea, but because this is the first time that he is independent of the TV station, but he has cooperated with the TV station.

This show can be regarded as an attempt, so what he has to do now is to work hard to do this show well and get off to a perfect start.

In this way, it will be possible for him to develop other projects.

If he asks for a sky-high price this time, even if Beijing TV grits its teeth and agrees, then the corresponding is Beijing TV, which may save as much money as possible in filming and production.

In this way, it is very likely to lead to various troubles such as poor shooting results, poor editing quality, and insufficient fame of invited guests, which will affect the effect of the entire show.

It's like in the previous life, when filming a film and television drama, seventy or eighty percent of the production cost was given to one or two big-name stars, so the remaining expenses were not enough to do other things in the movie.

The final result is that the word of mouth of film and television dramas hit the streets.

Such a result is not what Wu Xiaotian wants.

As for the second plan, it is very simple, Wu Xiaotian wants to try a different way of cooperation.

This plan gives the TV station a good space, they pointed out very little in the early stage, but in the later stage, they had to share it with him in all aspects such as advertising. In other words, the risk of Beijing TV can be reduced as much as possible.

For Wu Xiaotian, although the one-time fee may be relatively small, if its program effect is good enough and its popularity is enough, it will not worry about advertising costs at all.

As for the effect of the program of "Run, Brother", this has been proven last year.

Therefore, Wu Xiaotian dares to guarantee that the income of the second type is definitely much higher than that of the first plan.

After a while, Zheng Yun hung up his phone and walked to Wu Xiaotian's side with a puzzled expression.

He said apologetically, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"It's okay, has Director Zheng made a decision?" Wu Xiaotian asked with a smile.

Zheng Yun looked at Wu Xiaotian for a while before he said, "Yes, our director chose the first option. ”

The first?

This choice surprised Wu Xiaotian a little.

Generally speaking, in order to reduce their own risks as much as possible, units like TV stations will choose the second option, which is a more secure plan.

This plan may lose profits in the later stage, but they will be easily approved in the early stage. As for the later stage, let's talk about it!

However, Xu Changgong, director of Beijing TV Station, went against the norm and chose the second option.

It seems that Xu Changgong is also a person who thinks of shrewdness.

Regarding Xu Changgong's choice, Wu Xiaotian was slightly regretful, but still nodded and said, "I have no problem." ”

"Then it's decided?" Zheng Yun said happily when he saw Wu Xiaotian agree.

It would be great if he could confirm this matter with Wu Xiaotian now. Although he had reservations about the director's choice of the second option, he still had to follow the decision of the director Xu Changgong.

"There is one more small problem. Wu Xiaotian shook his head and said.

"Ah!" Zheng Yun's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "What's the problem?"

"The royalties are set. There is also last year's running man, I was one of the guests, this year, if Beijing TV thinks that I can be a guest again, do you want to give the appearance fee? Of course, if you think you have to think about it again, then we will talk about it later. Wu Xiaotian said lightly.

This time, he was talking about the guests of the "Run, Brother" program.

In the first season of last year, he was one of the resident guests, and he was present on every episode of the show.

According to the previous plan, he should also be one of the resident guests this year.

"Yes, of course!"

Zheng Yun said categorically: "Not only will you appear in this year's running man, but the rest of you should all be there." In the middle, because of some contracts from sponsors, one or two may be replaced, but no matter how you change them, you will not be replaced. ”

As the deputy director in charge of variety shows, he produces many similar shows and knows the audience's preferences.

Although it is said that the TV station that produced Running Man has changed, if all the guests in it are replaced casually, it will definitely lose a large number of fans, and even the show will collapse.

He smiled bitterly and asked, "Mr. Wu, what is your appearance fee?"

His heartbeat is a little fast, Wu Xiaotian's current artist level is not low, his popularity is even more explosive, and the appearance fee is estimated to be a lot.

"20 million. Wu Xiaotian smiled and said a fixed price.

This is the figure he obtained based on the appearance fees of artists of all levels in this world.

Relatively speaking, this is already a friendship price.

"Yes!"

This price is acceptable to Zheng Yun, and he can also make an idea, and there is no need to ask the director for additional advice.

"However, there is one more condition!" Wu Xiaotian nodded, and a sentence popped out of his mouth.

Are there any strings attached?

Zheng Yun almost collapsed, and said speechlessly: "What conditions?"

He knew that it was not so easy to sign a contract with Wu Xiaotian.

Wu Xiaotian said casually: "It's very simple, after the video of the program "Run, Brother" is broadcast on Beijing TV, if other TV stations or video network companies buy the broadcast copyright, I will share the copyright fee with Beijing TV in a ratio of 5:5. ”

Before this, the copyright operation of several of his programs was not very good.

At that time, it was because he was working at a TV station, so it was inconvenient for him to come forward to do it. This time, he didn't want to cooperate with the TV station, and he could operate it well.

If it's good, the benefits will go up, and if it's not, then it's a lesson.

"This ......" Zheng Yun thought about it for a long time before replying: "I can probably agree, but when I finally sign the contract, I still need to be reviewed by the director." ”

What Wu Xiaotian said was actually the copyright fee for the second sale.

In Beijing TV, the copyright is sold twice, and it has been used in other programs, but the effect is not very good, and the income is almost negligible relative to the production cost.

At this time, Wu Xiaotian finally said the words that Zheng Yun had been waiting for for a long time, "Okay, I have no other opinions." ”

"Great!"

When Zheng Yun heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his worried face finally unfolded. He looked at Wu Xiaotian and said with great emotion: "Mr. Wu, it seems that you are not only extremely talented in literature and art, but also not bad in business. ”

"Haha, it's a prize. Wu Xiaotian laughed.

The requirements he made today were learned from the variety show model in his previous life. And in this world, after passing through several TV stations, he also knows what issues should be considered from the perspective of TV stations.

In addition, there are also program promotion plans sent by other TV stations in the past two days, which also gave him a lot of inspiration.

Zheng Yun saw that the matter had been discussed, so he hurriedly went back to report to the director, and to avoid long nights and dreams, and signed the contract as soon as possible.

So he said to Wu Xiaotian: "Okay, Mr. Wu, I know all the requirements from your side, and I will give you a specific contract when I go back, and I will send it to you tomorrow at the latest." ”

"Let's go, don't you want to eat?" Wu Xiaotian was very surprised.

Zheng Yun came here as soon as he got off the plane, and kept talking about the present, and as soon as he finished talking, he hurried back to the capital.

"Don't eat it!" Zheng Yun shook his head and said, "There are a lot of things that need to be dealt with. Mr. Wu, I'm sorry, our first meal will be saved for the day the contract is signed. ”

"Haha, that's easy to say!"

Then, Wu Xiaotian and Zheng Yun walked out of the café together and waved goodbye.

Since the cooperation has been negotiated with Beijing TV, the invitations of other TV stations have to be rejected one by one.

If he wants to be here, he has a bit of a headache, because he has to make a lot of phone calls.

Recently, he really received a crash when answering the phone.

……

That night, when he was having dinner with Liang Xin'er, Liang Chen'er and Beibei, Wu Xiaotian told them about it.

"The conditions given are good!"

Liang Xin'er praised: "The strength of Beijing TV is also very good, and it is a good platform. ”

"Yes, the director of Jingcheng TV is also very sincere, and I think this is the most important thing. ”

Liang Xin'er said to Wu Xiaotian with concern: "Well, now that the TV station has been confirmed, it will start to be busy again, you have to pay more attention to your body." ”

"Well, you too!"

Just when Wu Xiaotian and Liang Xin'er were at the sweet moment when they were talking to each other, Liang Chen'er suddenly shouted with a resentful face: "Brother-in-law?"

"What's wrong?" Wu Xiaotian looked at Liang Chen'er in surprise, not knowing why.

"You forgot again?" Liang Chen'er covered his face and said, "My comics, comics!"

She has been reminding Wu Xiaotian these days, but Wu Xiaotian, who is busy, often forgets about it.

Wu Xiaotian smiled and said, "This, of course I remember." ”

"How?"

Wu Xiaotian blinked, and said to Liang Chen'er with a smile: "Isn't this a new company I have opened, you just need to sign a contract with my company." ”

His words stunned Liang Xin'er and Liang Chen'er.

After a while, Liang Chen'er said to Wu Xiaotian with disdain: "Brother-in-law, you are so ruthless that you even pit your sister-in-law!"
