Chapter 212: "Challenger Alliance"

The reason why the new program planned by Zhao Zhenghao is to cooperate with online video platforms and TV stations in the preparation stage is that in addition to the many staff needed by the program team, they need to help coordinate, and another reason is that they need to use their channels to select suitable guests for the program.

This new show is no longer like "Follow Brother Hao to the world", as long as Zhao Zhenghao sings a one-man show, but has six regular guests at the same time, and Zhao Zhenghao is just one of them.

Of course, with Zhao Zhenghao's popularity and status in the circle, it is not difficult to attract a few guests of sufficient weight, but enough weight is not necessarily appropriate!

is like Min Lan, as the queen of the three major divas in the Dragon Kingdom music circle, she is full of weight, but her personality is not suitable for being a guest on this new show, not to mention a fixed guest, and even a single guest in the later period is not suitable for it.

As for An Shuyi and Peng Jieshan, it is very difficult for them to let them appear without makeup and accept various challenges in the show!

Zhao Zhenghao himself has only confirmed one guest so far, and that is his eternal little follower Feng Xiaojing!

Originally, he planned to give this opportunity to Yu Yabin, and the two people who had just fallen in love could take this opportunity to spend more time together, but Yu Yabin's personality did not quite meet the requirements of the show, so Zhao Zhenghao could only give up this idea.

The news that Zhao Zhenghao is going to open a new program, once it came out, immediately attracted the attention of major online video platforms and David TV, and sent letters of inquiry, when it was learned that "Zhenghao Studio" had begun to look for partners for Zhao Zhenghao's new program, these online video platforms and TV stations have sent cooperation intentions.

Zhao Zhenghao has participated in the production of a small number of programs in recent years, only the first, second and third seasons of "Follow Brother Hao to the World", and the first season of "What a Werewolf Kills", but these programs, with their unique form and content, have become popular and have made a lot of money.

In addition, Zhao Zhenghao's current popularity and status in the circle have changed dramatically from a few years ago, from a scandal-ridden third-tier idol to an internationally renowned "God of Songs", and the market appeal is very different from the original.

Therefore, although those online video platforms and TV stations do not know the specific content of Zhao Zhenghao's new program, they don't want to miss this opportunity and rush to pounce.

Zhao Zhenghao and Wang Yulan are also chicken thieves, seeing so many wronged bosses who rushed to send money, they were full of confidence in their hearts, and decided to play big, and even played a secret mark without disclosing any content about the new show.

The copyright of the new program is naturally firmly in the hands of the "Zhenghao Studio", and the way to cooperate with these online video platforms and TV stations is to transfer the broadcast copyright, and in addition, with the help of their connections, to find suitable guests for the new program.

Those who rushed to the office of the "Zhenghao Studio" network video platform and the relevant responsible persons of the TV station, when they got the news, most of them seemed a little confused, no one thought that the "Zhenghao Studio" would do this, and there is no precedent for such a thing in the industry!

However, now the initiative in this matter is all in the hands of "Zhenghao Studio", and those people from online video platforms and TV stations, even if they feel unfair in their hearts and want to get the opportunity to cooperate with "Zhenghao Studio", they can only pinch their noses and admit this time.

Due to a surprise attack by the "Zhenghao Studio", those people from the online video platform and TV station who rushed to the scene did not expect that this matter would be finalized in such a short period of time before they came.

However, this time, "Zhenghao Studio" did not play according to the routine, and only gave those online video platforms and TV stations a few hours of time, and then they would conduct a secret bid campaign to select a partner for this program, and they would not wait for the expiration date!

There is no way, those relevant personnel of online video platforms and TV stations can only urgently contact the decision-makers in the rear to make a good offer for this secret bid election.

It's not that no one wants to muddy up this dark bid, for example, by connecting them with each other, giving a very low offer, or simply not participating in the bidding!

However, "Zhenghao Studio" has long been prepared for this, and issued a statement in advance, setting a reserve price for this hidden bid election, and if the final winning bid is lower than this reserve price, the bid will be declared invalid.

And if the bid is invalid, or there is no bidder, "Zhenghao Studio" will close the door to find a partner, temporarily shelve the project, and wait for them to be able to produce the show on their own, and then open it!

Anyway, without this new show, "Zhenghao Studio" will not be idle, Zhao Zhenghao has a movie about to be released, and a new album is in preparation, so it doesn't necessarily have to be a new show immediately!

And those online video platforms and TV stations, if they miss the opportunity to cooperate with "Zhenghao Studio", there is still the possibility of cooperation, only God knows!

Therefore, "Zhenghao Studio" actually did not leave a chance for those online video platforms and TV stations to make trouble!

In the end, after a quiet bidding, the online broadcast right of Zhao Zhenghao's new program was finally obtained by Penguin Video, which had established a good foundation for cooperation and trusted Zhao Zhenghao's ability more, with a price of five million per episode!

Previously, the third season of "Follow Brother Hao to the World", which was broadcast on Penguin Video, once created a record of 3.5 million online broadcast rights in a single issue!

Now, this record has been broken by a new show also from "Zhenghao Studio"!

In the end, the TV station broadcast right of this new program was grabbed by Dongfang TV, and the price was 8 million per episode! This offer also created a historical record for the TV broadcast right of entertainment programs!

Previously, the record was only 4 million, but now it has been doubled!

You must know that the broadcast rights of the new program TV station transferred by "Zhenghao Studio" do not include the share of one title of the program and two special advertising sponsorships!

Of course, if the TV station broadcast rights are sold so high, it is naturally impossible to enjoy the advertising before and after the broadcast of the TV program, as well as the division of advertisements in the middle!

However, that's it, when the new show only existed in the planning case, "Zhenghao Studio" had already taken advantage of this to earn more than 100 million yuan!

For this new program, Zhao Zhenghao plans to produce 12 episodes in one season, and the price of the online broadcast rights and TV station broadcast rights for a single episode is 13 million, and the 12 episodes are 156 million!

Coupled with the advertising sponsorship fees of one title and two special contracts that were successfully recruited later, the naming rights were sold for 200 million, and the special rights were also sold for 50 million, adding up to 300 million!

Before the shadow of the show was seen, "Zhenghao Studio" has earned 456 million from this!

Fortunately, "Zhenghao Studio" is not a listed company, and there is no need to disclose financial statements, so the outside world does not know the investment details of this new program that currently only exists on paper, otherwise I don't know how many jealous eyes it will attract!

Of course, the income is a lot of money, and the expenses are just as huge!

The copyright of this new program, which is named "Challenger Alliance", is actually not in the hands of "Zhenghao Studio", and "Follow Brother Hao to the World" and "What a Werewolf Kills", the original copyright of the program is in Zhao Zhenghao's personal hands, but it is exclusively authorized to "Zhenghao Studio", and "Zhenghao Studio" must pay Zhao Zhenghao copyright royalties according to the relevant contract details.

Specific to the "Challenger Alliance", the copyright royalty paid by "Zhenghao Studio" to Zhao Zhenghao is 20% of the total amount of investment, that is, 90 million!

As a guest of the show, Zhao Zhenghao can naturally enjoy a salary that matches his current popularity and status, specifically on the "Challenger Alliance", Zhao Zhenghao's salary for each episode of the show is 5 million, and the 12 episodes are 60 million!

Feng Xiaojing, as a guest appointed by Zhao Zhenghao, also received preferential treatment, and received a total salary of 12 million, with a single salary of up to 1 million!

This amount, compared with Zhao Zhenghao, is naturally far away, only one-fifth of his, but in the current Dragon Kingdom entertainment market, it is already sky-high!

Even An Shuyi starred in this kind of show, at most she could only get such a salary! Although Feng Xiaojing's popularity is at its peak, it is still a few grades behind the veteran diva and internationally renowned An Shuyi!

This salary was set by Zhao Zhenghao himself, and a large part of the reason why she was treated so favorably was to thank her for her help in the underground relationship between Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin.

Yu Yabin didn't know what to think about, and she didn't want to make her relationship with Zhao Zhenghao public for the time being, so since the relationship between the two was confirmed, the limited few dates were covered by Feng Xiaojing, so that the outside world did not see the clues.

On the one hand, the idol of infinite worship, and on the other hand, the sisters who really love, Feng Xiaojing herself is actually happy to act as a cover for the love affair between Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin, and even has some fun in it.

However, she is willing to be her willing, and Zhao Zhenghao can't help but say that it is not enough to give her the opportunity to participate in her new show, and she has given a certain amount of return in terms of salary.

In fact, Zhao Zhenghao originally had no need to give Feng Xiaojing such a high salary, because according to her contract with "Nine Star Entertainment", Feng Xiaojing could only get half of this salary, and the other half would fall into the pocket of "Nine Star Entertainment".

Fifty-five is already the special preferential treatment of Feng Xiaojing by "Nine Star Entertainment", and the contract signed by Zhao Zhenghao with "Nine Star Entertainment" is only four or six, and Zhao Zhenghao only accounts for forty percent.

And Yu Yabin and Li Hani can only get forty percent of the dividends from their respective separate activities.

The reason why Feng Xiaojing was given special preferential treatment by the "Nine Star Entertainment" that asked for money was because she already had some fame before her debut, and with the title of Zhao Zhenghao's number one fan, she had a group of staunch supporters, and at this point, she was ahead of Yu Yabin and Li Hani.

After her debut, although Feng Xiaojing is not the most beautiful of the three, nor the best figure, nor the most talented, she has always been the most popular, especially as Zhao Zhenghao's popularity continues to rise and her status continues to improve, making her also ascend to heaven and benefit a lot.

It turned out that "Nine Star Entertainment" gave Feng Xiaojing a certain preferential treatment, which was a very correct decision, allowing them to occupy a slight advantage in the upcoming contract renewal negotiations.

……

In this way, without counting the recording cost of the show and the remuneration of the other four guests, "Zhenghao Studio" has already spent 170 million, and nearly one-third of the investment income has been spent in an instant!

And Zhao Zhenghao's recording budget for the "Challenger Alliance" is 10 million for each episode, and 120 million for the 12 episodes.

The other four regular guests of the show were also quickly finalized, namely the popular Xiaohuadan Wang Ruixue, senior actor and representative of the tough guy in the circle Chen Tongqing, the new generation of Xiao Xianrou Tao Xiaoze, and the new generation singer and the champion of the twelfth season of "Super Idol" Bai Yongbo.

These four regular guests are all popular stars in the current Dragon Country entertainment circle, and they each have a group of loyal fans.

Wang Ruixue is a child star, he began to get involved in the film and television industry at the age of four, he is twenty years old this year, and has participated in dozens of movies and TV series.

In terms of popularity, status, and achievements in the film and television industry alone, Feng Xiaojing is inferior to Wang Ruixue, but Wang Ruixue's luck is not as prosperous as Feng Xiaojing, and there is no support from nobles like Zhao Zhenghao, so in terms of future alone, Feng Xiaojing's development prospects are more optimistic.

"Challenger Alliance" is Wang Ruixue's first time participating in an entertainment program as a regular guest, and the salary given to her by "Zhenghao Studio" is 8 million, which is in line with her popularity and identity.

In fact, Zhao Zhenghao didn't plan to let Wang Ruixue be a regular guest of the "Challenger Alliance" at the beginning, because her positioning in the show overlapped with Feng Xiaojing.

In the original version of "Challenger Alliance" borrowed by Zhao Zhenghao, there has always been only one female fixed guest, and in other similar programs that I have watched, they are all a little red in the green bush, and there have been no two fixed female guests except for special reasons!

However, Wang Ruixue was strongly recommended by Oriental Channel, and Oriental Channel paid more than 100 million real money for this show, and only mentioned such a condition, it is really unreasonable not to agree, there is no way but to accept this fact.

After contacting Wang Ruixue a few times, Zhao Zhenghao found that this little girl was very experienced in the personnel department, and her personality was also very good, and she got along with Feng Xiaojing very well.
