Chapter 434, sky-high copyright!
Afternoon. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It wasn't until four o'clock that the first wave of representatives of ITV in the UK came to Kuzhi.
What Jiang Lun didn't expect was that this first wave of representatives turned out to be all Chinese people, all of whom were staff stationed in the ITV Magic Capital branch.
Different from the Korean way of doing things, these people pouted Jiang Lun as soon as they came up, touting his music, his movies, novels and other works, and one of them also claimed to be a filament, especially like "Ghost Blows the Lamp".
Sure enough, it is the Chinese people who know the Chinese people best, and the sophistication of the world is always in the first place.
Jiang Lun knew their minds very well and was happy to accept their praise, but he did not swell because of this.
In fact, he has listened to more compliments over the years, and he doesn't feel fluttering at all about these people's words.
At the negotiation table, you have to stay awake at all times, and Jiang Lun always shows a mysterious smile, and gradually, these people can't figure it out.
"Mr. Jiang, having said so much, in fact, the most important thing to congratulate is the "The Voice" you planned, now everyone knows about it, no one knows it, and this show was also recommended by us to the British ITV headquarters, and they decided to buy the British copyright!"
"Oh?" Jiang Lun raised his eyebrows, the main topic came, and he couldn't help laughing, "That's really thank you, in my plan, the show "The Voice" must be broadcast in China at least until the second or third season, and then there may be overseas countries to buy the copyright, but I didn't expect that because of your recommendation, it was actually a lot earlier!"
"Hey, that's as it should be!"
The representative of the other party said with a smile, "As an aside, although we work for British ITV, we are always Chinese, and we should contribute to Huaxia Media's variety shows, and now that there is such a good copyright in China, of course we should strongly recommend it to the ITV headquarters!"
"Then I should really thank you, I have a treat in the evening, I heard that your colleagues in Xiangjiang are also coming over in the evening, I will arrange a hotel for you!"
Jiang Lun said with a smile.
"No, no, no!"
The representative of the other party waved his hand again and again, "We have already booked the hotel, everything will be reimbursed by ITV, while it is still early, why don't we talk about the British copyright of "The Voice", as far as I know, the copyright fee you sold to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV is 30 million for four years, for ITV, if it is also according to this price, we can afford it, but I don't know what you mean!"
Jiang Lun smiled slightly, "Huh, this is what Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV told you?"
It seems that the other party has already planned it, and even compared the copyright fee of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV with overseas copyright fees, the meaning of this is that he wants Jiang Lun to sell it at the same price.
The treatment of the United Kingdom, the treatment of Jiangsu, Zhejiang Satellite TV, and even the South Korean side cannot be compared with this price.
In another world, the British BBC bought the rights to "The Voice" for five years at a price of 20 million pounds in 11 years.
The average annual renminbi in another world is 35 million.
In this world, as the world's largest economy, the value of the Chinese currency is more than twice as expensive as the renminbi in other worlds.
With this reference, Jiang Lun originally planned that if he could license "The Voice" to the UK, the minimum annual model fee would be no less than 10 million.
But in the plan at that time, the authorization of European countries was only a vision, and even thought that it would be at least two or three years before they could buy the copyright, and Jiang Lun's idea was that "The Voice" would cause a storm in South American countries first, and then attract European countries.
But now it is completely reversed, and the United Kingdom is the first to come to the door to buy the copyright, which is the first cannon in Europe and the United States, and the price can naturally be lower.
In addition, the reason why the British version of "The Voice" in another world can be sold so expensive is the result of the competition of many British TV companies, through various acquisitions, all kinds of open and secret competitions, and various stock market blows, and finally fell to the BBC, so it was also the responsibility of the Secretary of State.
And here, only ITV came to the door, and the other British TV companies did not make any moves, and if they really waited until they were so crazy to rob the other world, they might have to wait a year or two.
But now Jiang Lun doesn't want to wait, because there is still a South Korea watching, he just wants to show South Korea that the copyright of "The Voice" is not as cheap as they think, this is a very valuable treasure!
Moreover, in the copyright manual, the consensus pricing of overseas copyright is 25 million in three years, with an average of more than 8 million a year, compared with 30 million in four years on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, that is, an average of 7.5 million a year, it is only a few million more overall.
"Have you read our copyright manual?"
Jiang Lun said, snapping his fingers at Li Xing, and Li Xing immediately handed over the copyright manual, and the ITV representatives present each had a copy.
The other party turned directly to the page related to the copyright fee, and after seeing the price, they looked at each other.
Jiang Lun didn't speak, and the following matters should be handed over to Wu Chaoyang.
"Three years?"
The representative of the other party smiled, "This price, I think ITV should be able to bear it, but the day after tomorrow the headquarters will send someone over, just we promise, they have to nod at the end, the British do things, you know, just want to take advantage, they will definitely press this price!"
"Then what do you mean......"
Jiang Lun frowned, aren't these people ITV people?
How do you feel that this is completely towards you?
Could it be that this is the so-called "being in Cao Ying, and being in Han"?
"We mean, you can make another manual and raise the price a bit!"
A representative of the other party smiled and said, "And in fact, we still follow your manual, and when the time comes, we will tell those Brits that we talked about it so low, and you also help us say something, and everyone will be happy!"
"What else can you do?"
Jiang Lun was very surprised, even if they are Chinese, they can still earn ITV's money, this can be regarded as a gang to pit their own people, right?
"Why not, we know the style of doing things in the British, this time it's just a senior director of ITV-Studios under the headquarters, to put it bluntly, it's also a working boy, and ITV, an old TV company, has long been rotten internally, it is estimated that this director will also have to make a pit internally, he keeps up with the report, and your offer is definitely different!"
After hearing this, Jiang Lun was silent, and he began to hesitate whether to sell the copyright to this ITV.
Since it's rotten internally, can we do a good job of this program? Can we do a good job of publicizing it to other countries in Europe and the United States?
At this time, Wu Chaoyang spoke, "Okay, that's it! We'll make a new manual right away, by the way, do you need to know about the staff of your Xiangjiang branch?"
"No, no, no!"
These deputies hurriedly waved their hands, "Don't let them know!"
"Okay, I see!"
Wu Chaoyang smiled, stood up and stretched out his hand, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!" You go back to the hotel to clean up, and your colleagues from the Xiangjiang branch will come over later, and we will have a meal together." ”
"Okay!"
Several ITV representatives didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and they were surprised at the moment and just nodded again and again, one of them looked like the person in charge, holding Wu Chaoyang's hand and shaking it all the time, and he turned his head to shake hands with Jiang Lun and was very excited.
After they left, only Jiang Lun and Wu Chaoyang were left in the conference room, and he asked, "Brother Ang, you just sold it?"
"Yes!" Wu Chaoyang smiled, "Hehe, don't think about it, this is just a verbal agreement, the rest of the matter, it's up to me!"
Jiang Lun smiled wryly and held his forehead with his hand, "Okay, but I don't want this first overseas copyright to be ruined, I still have reservations about this ITV!"
"You don't have to doubt it!"
Wu Chaoyang said, "Although they are not very good internally, the quality of the programs produced is still very high, and this opportunity cannot be missed, since I am the consultant of Kuzhi and take over this matter, I will be fully responsible!"
"Alright then!"
Jiang Lun sighed, "I won't go to eat with them in the evening, you can help me entertain!"
"You're not going?"
Wu Chaoyang paused for a moment and said, "It's okay, you can go back and have a good rest! Aren't you going to participate in the peak night of "The Voice" next week?
……
Beijing, a hotel.
Four representatives from the South Korean side have stayed at the hotel and reported to TSB on the copyright of "The Voice".
Before they were notified, they had to stay in Huaxia and could not leave.
"Huaxia people are really difficult!"
One of the representatives hung down on the armrest of the sofa with a sad face, "I heard that MBC and SBS are also interested in buying the copyright of "The Voice", if we TSB can't grab this project, next year's New Year's variety show, I'm afraid we will lose to them!"
"Don't worry!"
The other said with a relaxed face, "I have dealt with Huaxia people many times, and many programs in the station sold a Huaxia TV station before, and I also participated, I understand their temper and character, and I must come according to our price in the end!"
"Why?"
"Huh!"
The representative said with a slight mockery, "They are actually more anxious than us, such a good opportunity, they will definitely fight for it, after selling it to us, they will definitely report it in a big way, and it will be publicized in the whole international community, and they will fight for a big news!"
"Oh, I see, you mean they...... Good face?"
"But what if MBC and SBS rob it?"
"They don't move so fast! Don't worry, we'll wait for two days, and if they don't look for us after two days, then we'll leave!"
"You're saying they'll be coming to us in two days?"
"With my understanding of the Chinese people, there is a chance that they will come back!"
“……”
Two days passed quickly.
The four representatives of the South Korean TSB television station got up early in the morning, but they were not contacted by anyone on the Chinese side until the afternoon.
The night before yesterday, they received a call from the president, asking them to be sure to win the model license of the Korean version of "The Voice", and how expensive it is is a small problem!
"MBC has already been dispatched, are we still going to sit in the hotel and do nothing?"
"yes, what about the two days you said? It's the third day, and they've already been contacted by MBC?"
"Impossible, they're coming, we should be informed!"
“……”
The representative who enlarged his words and said that "the Chinese people will definitely come to them in person" was silent at this time, he felt that with his own opinion, it should not be them who couldn't sit still at this time, right?
But why hasn't the other party contacted them yet?
"Look at the phone, the news of Huaxia!"
At this time, another representative suddenly shouted, "Shanghuaxia's news page, as well as their Weibo, look at it!"
"What?"
The other three came over puzzled, only to see a news article on the phone screen, with the headline of the report:
[UK ITV confirms the purchase of the copyright of "The Voice": the model fee may be as high as 10 million per year!]
"What?"
"Assi!"
"How so?"
What surprised them was not that the British bought it first, but that the model fee was as high as 10 million per year?
Suddenly, the four realized that maybe they were thinking in the wrong way!
Now.
Major news networks have hung up relevant headlines.
This is all operated by Wu Chaoyang, in fact, the contract was only signed this morning, but these notices were prepared yesterday.
[The Voice's surprise before the night of disruption: the UK version has been sold!]
[How much does Jiang Lun earn? Judging from the "Voice" mode fee!]
[Explosive: UK ITV confirms that it has signed a contract, and the copyright fee of 50 million in five years!]
[Why is the foreign copyright fee so much higher than that in China?]
Subtitle: Tell you how Jiang Lun does business with foreigners!]
[The British version of "The Voice" is sold, what did Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV get?]
“……”
Home.
Jiang Lun flipped through the news on the computer and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This money has become big news, but the British are indeed wealthy, the director who came from the headquarters in the morning, heard that the staff of the Shanghai branch from the "original price" 3000 for three years to 25 million for three years, he was very happy, and bought the copyright for five years.
Wu Chaoyang didn't know how to talk about it, and finally sold it for 42 million, and the so-called 50 million in the report was purely imaginary, but this eighty percent was also the price quoted by the director to the headquarters.
In a business, a director and a few employees of overseas branches actually made more than 8 million, and the British are really black.
The money can't be paid all at once, but in case the directors and employees are exposed, the money will be paid in installments before the first season of The Voice begins.
An afternoon's time.
The attention of "The Voice" has increased significantly, and even related news has become popular from home to abroad.
Especially in the British media, Jiang Lun's name once again resounded internationally, but this time in addition to the title of genius and genius, there is also the name of "gold saint".
In China, with the news of the copyright case soaring, the arrival of the peak night has also become a thing that everyone in the country is looking forward to. (To be continued.) )
