Chapter 328: Bargaining Price

It has been three days since Yi Shuihan received the notice of negotiation from the harbor TV station.

It was also the girl named Su Lingke who received him, and also led him into Xu Changge's office.

But what is different from before is the attitude of the two.

Since the other party invited him to meet again, it means that the other party has made a decision and is interested in his TV series, and the two sides only want to talk about the price.

In Xu Changge's view, this TV series is of course a rare good work, and what he wants to do is, of course, to lower the price of the other party.

"Mr. Yi, please be seated. Xu Changge invited Yi Shuihan to sit on the chair opposite his desk, and this time his attitude was much more formal than last time.

After Yi Shuihan shook hands with the other party, he asked with a smile: "Since Director Xu called me again, I must have made up my mind, what is your decision?"

Compared with when he first came, Yi Shuihan is much more confident, and the quality of the TV series "New Life" is his bargaining chip.

"Well, we also had a meeting in the station about purchasing your film. Xu Changge's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes sharp, "The review jury a few days ago submitted suggestions, and they all agreed that this film is a good work. ”

Yi Shuihan waited quietly, as a buyer, he would never just praise the goods, how to bargain without picking out a few flaws!

Sure enough, Xu Changge continued: "However, with all due respect, the popularity of the actors in this film is really low, except for you and Liang Yihui, almost all the other actors are trusted. This has a big impact on the ratings of a TV series!"

In fact, what Xu Changge wanted to say was that even Yi Shuihan was not a big wrist, but he was worried that he would run away from the other party if he said this, so he would break up in two.

Of course, Yi Shuihan also understood what he meant, but due to limited funds, he invited so many newcomers to star in this TV series.

And he believes that under the guidance of himself and Director Jin, the supporting roles in the play will never be worse than those so-called well-known supporting roles.

"I think the most attractive thing about a film is the plot and acting, not the so-called popularity of the actors. Yi Shuihan retorted.

"This aside, just the small investment and small production of this TV series are at a disadvantage in the market, and now is the era of big IP and big production, and it is difficult for works like Xinsheng to stand out in these works. Xu Changge continued.

"So, Director Xu doesn't want to buy this film?" Yi Shuihan smiled and said in a retreat.

If the other party doesn't want to buy this film, there is no need for him to waste so many tongues.

Xu Changge saw Yi Shuihan's confident look, and knew that he couldn't deceive the other party, he said with a smile: "On the contrary, we are also very optimistic about this film, even if it has such and such drawbacks, but the price is up for debate." ”

"In this way, I have a general understanding, your investment in this film is more than 13 million, so I don't have much, we will give you 20 million to buy out the copyright of this film, so that you will make a net profit of nearly 7 million. Xu Changge carefully observed Yi Shuihan's expression, hoping to find a trace of excitement or hesitation on his face, but to his surprise, Yi Shuihan's expression did not change at all.

For a budget-conscious TV station like Harbour, spending 20 million to buy a TV series is no longer a small comparison.

Yi Shuihan seems to be quiet on the surface, but in fact, he is very dissatisfied with this price in his heart.

Twenty million? This price is too far from what he expected.

If it's just to make these millions, why would he let himself take such a big risk and spend so much energy to sell.

If it's like that, they can sell it directly to the video site and then run it to make such a profit.

20 million, a total of 40 episodes, which is equivalent to 500,000 per episode!

And it's the copyright, not the premiere right, that buys out.

Harbour Satellite TV's abacus is also too good, is it really a small character who has never seen money?

"What do you think, this price?" Looking at Yi Shuihan, who was still silent, Xu Changge continued to ask.

He originally thought that a newcomer like Yi Shuihan, who invested in a TV series for the first time, would be very content with a profit of several million, but now it seems that this guy is not so easy to fool.

Yi Shuihan looked at him with his mouth raised, although it was not a disdainful expression, but the feeling of lack of interest was expressed.

"If you only have this kind of sincerity, then I don't think there is any need for us to talk about it. Yi Shuihan responded with a smile.

"What kind of price does Mr. Yi want, we can negotiate again!" Xu Changge said casually, he wanted to find out Yi Shuihan's psychological price, so that it would be easy to negotiate.

If you are a novice in the business world, you are likely to be taken by Xu Changge at your own psychological price.

But Yi Shuihan kept an eye on it, he said with a smile: "This work is priceless in my heart, Director Xu is embarrassed for me like this, in this way, you see how much price you can give me at most, if it is suitable, I will sell your Taiwan." ”

Yi Shuihan said very sincerely, as if he could agree to Xu Changge's slight increase in the price, but whether it is suitable or not is not his word, everything is a routine.

Xu Changge obviously didn't expect Yi Shuihan to be so difficult, not much different from those business elites who have been in the business circle for many years.

It seems that you can't look at each other as ordinary artists.

He pondered for a moment and quoted a slightly higher price than before: "That's it, I don't want to waste time, it's still the condition just now, 600,000 yuan per episode!

600,000 in one episode, the total is 24 million, and the investment is only more than 13 million.

Such an ROI is already a good condition for a small-production TV series.

And a one-time settlement is extremely rare for most TV dramas, you know, most TV dramas can only be paid back for a long time, and some will even be owed the purchase price!

But for Yi Shuihan, such conditions are far from meeting his requirements.

It's not that he is demanding, it's just that he thinks this TV series can be worth so much!

Just looking at the other party's increase in price, even if it is added four or five times, it is difficult to meet his requirements!

In that case, there is only such a way!

"Director Xu, to be honest, it's hard for me to be satisfied with your price, but if you raise the price again, it will make you take more risks!" Yi Shuihan looked at Xu Changge sincerely and said, "Since you want to reduce the risk, and I am full of confidence in "New Life"!
