Chapter 329 Agreements
Many, many TV dramas want to be sold to TV stations, and film and television production companies must also guarantee ratings, which leads to a "VAM agreement" attached to the TV series purchase contract between TV stations and producers.
That is, when the producer sells the drama, it must make a ratings guarantee to the TV station - the drama must reach the guaranteed ratings value in the agreement when it is broadcast, and the producer can get all the purchase money from the TV station. Otherwise, the amount will be deducted according to the agreed proportion.
At this time, the VAM agreement proposed by Yi Shuihan was slightly different from the usual one.
"First of all, we are only talking about the first round of exclusive broadcasting rights, not a buyout!" Yi Shuihan first changed the conditions.
Xu Changge also listened carefully, and the VAM agreement was relatively a win-win method.
"If the average rating of this TV series is less than 0.5%, I won't take a penny from this TV series!" Yi Shuihan said in a deep voice.
Xu Changge also looked at Yi Shuihan in surprise, he didn't expect Yi Shuihan to have such courage, you must know that nearly one-third of the TV series on the TV screen cannot reach 0.5% of the ratings.
If the ratings of this TV series are less than 0.5%, it means that all his investments have been wasted!
What a boldness!
However, this can also show Yi Shuihan's confidence in this TV series.
"If the average rating of this TV series is between 0.5% and 1%, I only need the price of 500,000 per episode!" Yi Shuihan smiled calmly.
The price of a TV series with this rating is relatively fair at around 500,000, and even slightly lower than the market price.
And if they do so, the risk they take is minimized.
Yi Shuihan counted them to death, he could take advantage of you, but he refused to take too much.
And what really shocked Xu Changge for Yi Shuihan's ambition was his next words.
"After 1 point, the ratings will increase by 100,000 per episode for every 0.1% increase! That is to say, if the ratings reach 2%, that is 1.5 million per episode!3%, 2.5 million per episode!4%!3.5 million per episode!"
Xu Changge was stunned, he looked at Yi Shuihan in a daze.
In his dark eyes was the ambition that could hold the whole world.
Firm! scorching! As if everything that stood in his way would be shattered by his hot faith!
Even if he is optimistic about this new student, Xu Changge only dares to predict that the ratings of this TV series will be about one point!
And where does Yi Shuihan get his confidence, he dares to estimate above 2, 3, or 4 points!
Even the big production "Boxer" of the Mountain Shadow Group can't guarantee that it will be able to get four points!
But this young man in front of him just dares, dares to think, and dares to speak!
"Are you so confident?" asked Xu Changge with emotion.
Yi Shuihan smiled and said, "If you don't even dare to think about it, then how can you still have the courage and ability to create miracles!
Looking at the high-spirited Yi Shuihan, Xu Changge felt that his aura was overwhelmed by the other party for the first time.
Since the other party has the courage to propose this VAM agreement, what reason does the less risky party have not to agree?
If the ratings are unfortunately less than 0.5%, they are equivalent to earning a TV series for nothing.
If it is between 0.5 and 1, they can earn a little bit at the price of 500,000 per episode.
If the ratings exceed 1 point, it can be regarded as a hot drama, and the popularity that can be brought to the TV station is not a little bit, and the extra part should be paid.
Xu Changge didn't dare to think about it, but even if it really reached four points, the unit price of 3.5 million per episode, they would definitely not be a loss!
You must know that the unit price of "Boxer" of Shanying Group is also 3.5 million per episode, but there is no 4% rule for that TV series.
Relatively speaking, the risk of your own radio station has been minimized.
"Okay, since Shui Han is so confident, then my brother will accept your bet!" Xu Changge also smiled heartily.
"Thank you Director Xu for your trust!" Yi Shuihan stood up and thanked sincerely.
He only took a long breath at this time, although he seemed to swear, but his heart was still a little empty.
The reason why this VAM agreement was given was that he had considered it repeatedly.
First of all, Harbour TV is one of the very few stations that is willing to give them a chance and review the film, and he must fight for it.
Second, most of the TV dramas purchased by Harbour Satellite TV are low-cost high-quality TV series, and they don't have enough courage to fight for those big-budget TV series, not because of insufficient funds, but because his development policy is to make steady progress!
Third, the previous evaluation of Xu Changge by the little girl at the front desk was stingy, indicating that he was cautious when buying TV series and would not take too many risks because of a TV series.
Fourth, at every stage of ratings, there is a certain degree of concession on their side, but in fact, this condition is not a loss for Yi Shuihan!
Their VAM agreement happened to meet all the requirements of Harbour TV, so they were able to have a chance to reach an agreement.
"I am also infected by your confidence, I am really a hero out of a young man!" Xu Changge said with emotion, his exclamations at this time were all sincere words in his heart.
Very few young people can make such achievements at Yi Shuihan's age.
"Director Xu Liao Zan, I hope we will cooperate for a win-win situation this time!" Yi Shuihan said with a smile.
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Xu Changge suddenly thought of something and said, "Now that we have decided, what do you think about the release time?"
"What is your opinion?" Yi Shuihan asked as he looked at Xu Changge. After all, the premiere rights of this TV series were sold to the other party, and the release time was also decided by the other party.
"I mean postpone the screening for a while," Xu Changge said with a deep sigh, "How about August? We can also prepare a little longer." ”
Yi Shuihan frowned when he heard this time, it was only less than June at this time, and there were still two months to August, so it was inevitable that he had waited too long.
Xu Changge knew the doubts in his heart when he saw Yi Shuihan's expression, he smiled and said: "Shanying Group's big production "Boxer" is scheduled to start on June 1st, and it is best for us to avoid each other in this TV series, otherwise we will be squeezed by their ratings." ”
Although there is no disparagement of "Freshman" in his words, the subtext is clear that "Freshman" is not as good as "Boxer".
Of course, this is definitely the opinion of most people, after all, no matter which way you look at it, "New Life" has no chance of winning.
But Yi Shuihan just wanted to see what "New Life" would be crushed into when it met "The Boxer".
Could it be that, as Xu Changge said, he was really squeezed by the other party in the ratings of "New Life".
This was definitely not a wise decision, but Yi Shuihan's heart began to stir.
"Director Xu, I don't know if I should say an opinion?" Yi Shuihan looked at Xu Changge and said in a deep voice.
"Please speak!" Xu Changge said as he looked at him curiously.
"I think the best time for the release of "New Life" is precisely June!" Yi Shuihan said, his eyes sharp.
