On the way to kindergarten, an unfamiliar number called Hu Shuo's mobile phone.

Because he was driving and it might be a harassing call, Hu Shuo didn't answer, but the caller was very persistent, didn't answer once, and called a second time.

Seeing this, Hu Shuo had no choice but to turn on the car Bluetooth function and take down the answer button.

"Hello, is it Mr. Hu of Genesis Entertainment?"

There was a female voice on the phone, and she didn't seem to be very old.

"I am, who are you?" Hu Shuo replied politely.

"Oh, I'm the director of the content department of Jiangcheng Satellite TV, Chen Lingyi. The other party reported to himself, and then continued: "Please don't blame your subordinate, she only told me your contact information at my strong request." ”

Obviously, Chen Lingyi should be talking about Wang Muxuan.

"How so. Hu Shuo smiled: "It's actually condescending that Mr. Chen can call me this number." ”

Hu Shuo's words are not compliments, Jiangcheng Satellite TV is one of the first-line satellite TV stations in China, and the director of the content department is the real executive of the TV station, in terms of the status of the rivers and lakes, Hu Shuo, the boss of the "small workshop", cannot be compared with others at all.

"Mr. Hu is polite, there is no condescension, supply and demand should be equal. Chen Lingyi's words were very beautiful, and then he said straight to the point: "The intention of my call, I think Mr. Hu should have guessed, Manager Wang Muxuan has already explained the situation to me, saying that you are not considering selling the satellite TV broadcast copyright of "Love Apartment" for the time being, the reason seems to be the price factor, then, I want to ask Mr. Hu, what is your psychological price?"

Chen Lingyi didn't drag the mud and water at all, but went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Hu Shuo groaned a little and replied: "I'm afraid that Mr. Chen can't accept my psychological price." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"2 million episodes. Hu Shuo said.

Hearing this offer, Chen Lingyi was silent for a moment and said, "This is indeed very high. ”

"So, we shouldn't have to talk. Hu Shuo smiled, in fact, he didn't want to sell 2 million episodes, "Love Apartment" is a drama that can be broadcast repeatedly but cannot be broadcast, since its inception in another time and space, the replay rate can be ranked in the top ten every year, however, the ratings can still beat some premiere dramas.

And the reason why Hu Shuo offered this price, in addition to the fact that the star of "Love Apartment" can indeed bring huge benefits to the company, the TV station buys out at one time, and he can also get a sum of money quickly, at present, Hu Shuo has a lot of plans in his heart, but the funds are very limited, and it is good to write songs and share, "Love Apartment" 's gambling agreement, if you want to have a large amount of money back, it will be two months later at the earliest, otherwise, when Qiu Xue asked him for a song through Wang Min a few days ago, Hu Shuo would not offer a price of 5 million, because he wanted to quickly accumulate some capital, so that he would not have to be restrained to develop.

And if there are 2 million episodes, 20 episodes of "Love Apartment" will be 40 million, and with this money, the company's next project will have a lot more space to choose from.

Therefore, if there is a must be bought out now, Hu Shuo directly offered a price that he thought was acceptable, but in Hu Shuo's opinion, the other party should be unacceptable.

A brand-new, low-cost, and completely online drama series, with a price of 2 million per episode, anyone will think that Hu Shuo is crazy.

"I wonder how far the post-production of this show is going, and if I buy out this show, will it be able to go online during Golden Week?"

Chen Lingyi didn't mention the price again, but threw out a question.

"At present, the production of the first eleven episodes has been completed, and there are nine episodes left, if you really want to go online on the eleventh, it is not impossible, and we can't beat us to work overtime. Hu Shuo said.

"I want to watch the eleven episodes that have been made, is there a problem?" Chen Lingyi said again.

"That's fine. Hu Shuo replied.

"Then you ask Manager Wang Muxuan to send the finished eleven episodes to my office, now I have only seen the first two episodes, I want to make a decision on whether to buy out after watching these eleven episodes. ”

From Chen Lingyi's words, it can be heard that she should have considered Hu Shuo's offer of 2 million episodes very seriously.

After listening to the other party's answer, Hu Shuo was quite surprised, it stands to reason that his offer should directly make people run away, and if he doesn't do it, he has to scold himself for being neurotic or something, however, Chen Lingyi is actually seriously thinking about it.

Of course, if it can really be handed over for 2 million, Hu Shuo is still willing to sell it now.

"This is no problem, but, there is a word in advance, 2 million per episode is my bottom line, if Mr. Chen can really accept this price, I will let Mu Xuan send the film over, otherwise, it is better for both of us to save some time." Hu Shuo replied solemnly.

"If the quality of these eleven episodes can meet the expectations in my heart, the price of 2 million, I can accept it. Chen Lingyi, who was on the other end of the phone, barely hesitated.

"Okay, I'll ask Mu Xuan to send the film to Mr. Chen immediately, but I'm afraid Mr. Chen is about to get off work at this time, right?"

"It's okay, I can wait. ”

"Then it's decided, Mr. Chen, goodbye. ”

Since Chen Lingyi said so, Hu Shuo didn't say anything more, hung up the phone, and called Wang Muxuan directly.

"Mr. Hu, Director Chen of Jiangcheng Satellite TV has to ask for your phone, so ......"

Wang Muxuan thought that Hu Shuo was because he leaked his contact information, so he quickly explained when he answered the phone.

"It's true that my contact information shouldn't be given to outsiders at random, but this time, forget it. Hu Shuo replied lightly, and then ordered: "You now go to the editing room to copy the first eleven episodes of "Love Apartment" that have been produced, and then send it to Chen Lingyi's office on Jiangcheng Satellite TV. ”

"Will you send it today?" asked Wang Muxuan with some surprise.

"Yes, the sooner the better, she'll be waiting for you in the office!"

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible. ”

Wang Muxuan agreed, and then hung up the phone.

……

Jiangcheng Satellite TV.

The computer on Chen Lingyi's desk is playing the content of the second episode of "Love Apartment", at present, she only has samples of the first two episodes, and she has watched these two episodes three times, in fact, under normal circumstances, the review of dramas like "Love Apartment" is not necessary to her hands, what needs her nod is a big production, and the key dramas that the station intends to buy will be sent to her.

However, in the past year, the ratings of the "Golden Theater", which was the main brand of Jiangcheng Satellite TV, have declined significantly, and there have been no popular dramas for more than a year, and even in more than a year, the ratings of Jiangcheng Satellite TV's prime-time TV dramas have never entered the top three, which is a little embarrassing for a first-line satellite TV.

Therefore, as the newly appointed director of the content department, Chen Lingyi's primary goal is to redo the "Golden Theater", so the selection of dramas is naturally very important, therefore, Chen Lingyi sent a message, all the dramas sent to the content department must be backed up and sent to her a copy, Chen Lingyi is to personally review all the dramas, she doesn't believe that there are so many dramas to choose from every year, and one or two high-quality dramas can't be selected.

It is with such a heart that Chen Lingyi discovered "Love Apartment" in the process of daily "sweeping dramas", in fact, when she saw the introduction of this drama, she didn't report any hope, the producer is an obscure small workshop, the actors are all newcomers, and the only publicity point that can be used is that Li Ziwei and Wang Min are two major singers of the cross-border cameos.

It seems that this is the configuration that a street drama should have, but when Chen Lingyi watched the first episode, she was attracted by the content, she has to watch hundreds of sample films these days, but "Love Apartment" is a unique existence, and it does not collide with any drama.

In addition, Chen Lingyi has the experience of studying in the United States, and she keenly finds that this drama has the charm of an American drama, but the content is localized, and the localization is very good.

So far, she has not seen a similar drama on the domestic TV screen, and it is for this reason that she has a strong interest in this drama, so she contacted Wang Muxuan and gave a market price.

Chen Lingyi thought that she might "pick up the leak", however, she didn't expect the other party to refuse, and then she contacted Hu Shuo directly.

In fact, when Hu Shuo said the price of 2 million per episode, she was also very surprised in her heart, not that she felt that this drama was not worth the money, but the main thing was that she didn't expect the other party to dare to ask for the price.

Such a drama is completely the configuration of an ordinary online drama, 300,000 or 400,000 yuan per episode is already sky-high, but the other party opens his mouth to 2 million, and he doesn't make a counteroffer, and he doesn't seem to be worried that his asking price will scare the buyer away, how confident is this?

So much so that Chen Lingyi was a little curious about that Mr. Hu.

"Director Chen, there is a manager Wang from Genesis Entertainment looking for you. Just as Chen Lingyi's thoughts were wandering, assistant Wang Jia knocked on the door of the office.

"Let her in. ”

"Okay. ”

Wang Jia turned to leave, and after a while, Wang Muxuan walked in with her.

"Hello Director Chen, I was ordered to send you samples. Wang Muxuan greeted with a smile, in fact, it was the first time she had met Chen Lingyi herself, and Wang Muxuan had gone through a lot of efforts to vote "Love Apartment" to the content department of Jiangcheng Satellite TV.

Therefore, she was very surprised when she received Chen Lingyi's call before, after all, the other party's level was there, and now after seeing Chen Lingyi, Wang Muxuan was even more surprised, because the other party was about the same age as herself, at most two or three years older.

However, at this age, he is already the director of the content department of a domestic first-line satellite TV like Jiangcheng Satellite TV.

In fact, Wang Muxuan didn't know that the reason why Chen Lingyi was able to sit in this position at this age was that her ability was only one aspect, and more importantly, she had a good father!

At present, most of the domestic TV stations are public-private partnerships, or even completely privatized, and Jiangcheng Satellite TV is a public-private joint venture TV station, but the government only holds shares and does not participate in the operation of the TV station.

The share distribution of Jiangcheng Satellite TV is that the government holds 40% of the shares, Chen Jiakang, the director of the TV station, holds 35% of the shares, and there are five or six small shareholders, and Chen Lingyi is the daughter of Chen Jiakang, the director of Jiangcheng TV.

In the final analysis, Chen Lingyi is also a master of fighting for her father, but unlike those rich second generations who eat and wait for death, she is a very hard-working rich second generation!
