Xu Qing smiled, and his tone was normal, as if he was not angry at Moore's words.

Moore's expression was also normal, and he said, "Mr. Xu, you can buy at least 5 very good variety show ideas for $2 million."

You can buy 10 very good movie scripts, you can make a good low-budget movie, and you can record a few variety shows. ”

"Mr. Moore, let's all be sincere, last time I rejected Mr. Jefferson's offer of $1 million, and this time you asked me to talk.

It can't be a $2 million offer, otherwise your time and I are precious, and there is no need to dedicate time to talking. Xu Qing looked at Moore.

Moore's cheeks had already been cultivated to a very deep level, and he would not be embarrassed by Xu Qing's words, and said:

"Negotiating, it's normal for you to come and go, since Mr. Xu is not satisfied with the $2 million offer, NBC can make a $5 million offer. ”

"Mr. Moore, the $20 million offer I requested will not change, and there is one condition attached. Xu Qing said.

Moore's eyelids jumped a few times, he wanted to push the price to $5 million, but now it seems that Xu Qing is not moved at all, $20 million, and there is an additional condition.

Why don't you rob it! Moore complained badly in his heart, and showed anger on his face: "Mr. Xu, let's not talk about 20 million US dollars, what are the additional conditions?"

I was curious that Mr. Xu's request would be so high, that $20 million could not be met, and that conditions needed to be attached. ”

Xu Qing saw Moore's face, smiled and said, "Mr. Moore doesn't need to be angry, my additional condition may be beneficial to both parties." ”

"Mr. Xu, please speak. Moore made a gesture of please.

"Jefferson should have told you, I came to NBC for two purposes, one was to invest in Friends, and the other was to sell the idea of Got Talent to NBC. ”

Xu Qing saw Moore nodding and continued:

"My proviso is simple, I want to invest in Friends, and if NBC can agree to that provish, I can make concessions on $20 million. ”

"I've always had a question, why is Mr. Xu so optimistic about 'Friends?'" Moore wondered.

Moore did wonder that Xu Qing was so optimistic about "Friends", which was not taken very seriously by NBC.

Although some management believes that "Friends" is a TV series that can become a hit, more management is not optimistic, and the script of "Friends" is still being revised.

In addition to the filming base confirmed at the Warner Bros. Film and Television Base, others such as directors, actors, and funds have not yet been prepared.

"I've read the script of "Friends", I like its story very much, it doesn't matter if it's popular or not, because I have money now, and I hope to be able to make the story I like into a TV series so that more people can enjoy it. ”

Xu Qing didn't tell the truth, and he couldn't tell the truth, it was impossible to say that "Friends" was the most influential and profitable TV series in the United States, and many people who invested in "Friends" made a lot of money.

In fact, what Xu Qing really values is not the earning power of "Friends", but its influence.

Investing in "Friends" can bring huge influence to Sunlight Film and Television, helping to develop the film and television market.

The film and television industry is not something that can be played with money, and those giants in Hollywood are all piled up by countless classic films and television.

Sunlight needed the help of the super classic TV series "Friends".

Of course, Moore would not believe that Xu Qing liked the story of "Friends", but he did not debunk it either, saying:

"Mr. Xu, if NBC promised you to invest in Friends, how much concession would you be willing to make at $20 million?"

"It depends on how much I invest in Friends, and the more you allow me to invest, the $20 million will be less and less. Xu Qing said.

"We promise you to invest in Friends. ”

Moore had already made a decision yesterday to do everything possible to win the idea of "Got Talent", and he wanted to take a gamble because his position as president was not precarious.

Several of NBC's competitors are now growing at a rapid pace, while NBC's growth is somewhat stagnant.

Shareholders are already unhappy with him, and if he doesn't get NBC up to speed up soon, he's likely to be fired.

He believes that the idea of "Got Talent" can become a national hit and can accelerate the overall development of NBC.

Nothing is isolated, and if "Got Talent" is popular in the United States, it will lead to the development of other NBC businesses, which will accelerate the overall development of NBC.

Moore promised Xu Qing to invest in "Friends", and the next thing was very easy to discuss.

One intends to buy, the other intends to sell, and the two sides quickly reached a basic cooperation, and the remaining details can be negotiated slowly.

When the negotiations were about to end, Xu Qing asked Moore: "Mr. Moore, has the filming base of "Friends" been decided?"

"NBC prepares to shoot 'Friends' at Warner Bros. Studios. Moore replied.

"So NBC hasn't signed a contract with Warner Bros. yet?" asked Xu Qing quietly.

"Mr. Xu, please rest assured that we will sign a contract with Warner Bros. for the filming of "Friends" in the near future, and will not delay the filming of "Friends". ”

Moore thought that Xu Qing wanted "Friends" to be filmed as soon as possible.

"In addition to Warner Bros. Studios, will NBC consider other film and television bases?" asked Xu Qing.

Moore heard what Xu Qing meant at this time, Xu Qing didn't want "Friends" to be filmed at the Warner Bros. Film and Television Base, Moore was embarrassed:

"Mr. Xu, the negotiations between NBC and Warner Bros. have reached the stage of signing a contract, and choosing another film and television production base at this time will damage NBC's credibility and be very costly. ”

Xu Qing also heard what Moore meant, if you don't want "Friends" to be filmed at Warner Bros. Film and Television Base, then this price needs you Xu Qing to come out.

Xu Qing estimated that the price was likely to be tens of millions of dollars. Xu Qing and Warner Bros. did not have a deep grudge against blood, but at the Graham Charity Gala, Warner Bros. Senior Vice President Rooney deliberately embarrassed him.

This embarrassment will not make Xu Qing pay tens of millions of dollars, and he will have the opportunity to find a place again in the future, so he said to Moore:

"Now that the contract has been signed, I still support the filming of "Friends" at Warner Bros. Studios. ”

Moore breathed a sigh of relief, he was really a little afraid that Xu Qing would entangle the shooting base, and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation." ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. Xu Qing also smiled.

Xu Qing left Rockefeller Center in a very happy mood, and he was very satisfied with the outcome of today's negotiations.

The idea of "Got Talent" sold for $10 million, and then successfully invested in the first season of "Friends", and in the sequel to "Friends" in the future, Xu Qing has the right of first refusal.
