Chapter XVII. Negotiations
Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Mr. Zuo, I'll tell you directly, if I was just for money, I wouldn't have come to see you today." ”
Zuo Shanghua looked at him puzzled.
Zhang Yang nodded: "Mr. Zuo should also know that if you compare money, you will definitely not be able to compare with those big companies." If I want money, I'll just go straight to them. ”
"Not bad. Zuo Shanghua did not deny it, "This is also the reason why I have been struggling." Our company is in great need of a pair of such works to enhance its reputation, but our strength is here, and we simply can't afford to spend too much money on such works. The value of this kind of work is too high now. ”
Zhang Yang sat up straight: "Mr. Zuo, can you introduce your company to me?"
Zuo Shanghua was a little puzzled, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she still nodded: "With the development of the Internet, video occupies a very important position on it, our company started late, and there is no strong backstage, and there is no way to compare with the giants of VV Video." But we have always flattered the purpose of doing programs seriously in the management of this company, in the three years since its establishment, we have gone from a dozen people to three or four hundred now, and many satellite TV stations have reached cooperation, and there are also two brand columns of their own......"
Zuo Shanghua spoke slowly, Zhang Yang listened quietly.
This lecture was more than ten minutes, and Zhang Yang also knew a rough idea, and was silent.
If you want to take the first step here, you need to know more or less. He wasn't interested in the rules and regulations, he just wanted to know if the company had the ability to give what it wanted, whether it had the ability to make the show it wanted. He didn't want to find out in the end that they couldn't get the money and the equipment.
Listening to Zuo Shanghua's introduction, although the strength of Miracle Video is not strong, it is not weak, at least there will be no situation where it will not be able to take out equipment and money.
Zuo Shanghua saw that he hadn't spoken, and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Zhang, give me a thorough idea, what do you think?"
Zhang Yang raised his head: "Mr. Zuo, I know that your company may not be able to take out too much money, but it doesn't matter, if you don't have enough money, you can make up for something else." ”
"Huh?" Zuo Shanghua was obviously stunned for a moment, "Take something, for example?"
"For example, the right to speak on a show. ”
"Which show do you like about us?"
"Mr. Zuo, don't get me wrong, I mean a new show, a show that belongs to me. ”
"Program, you still do program?" Zuo Shanghua was a little surprised.
"Try it. Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"Try ......" Zuo Shanghua couldn't cry or laugh, "Xiao Zhang, tell me about your specific conditions." ”
"Mr. Zuo, I want to know, if I give a work that has a response that is several times better than last night, how much can you pay?"
Zuo Shanghua thought for a while: "100,000 is our limit. ”
"One hundred thousand ......" Zhang Yang fell silent again.
That's a bit of a lot.
He read Weibo yesterday, and some people said that more than 100,000 or 200,000 people rushed to ask for it. And after the temptation of two works on Weibo, if he really wants to sell, it may not be a problem to sell 300,000 yuan.
Zuo Shanghua was a little anxious, but he couldn't say anything, he also knew that the price of 100,000 yuan was indeed not high, not to mention the works on his body, just one of the works on his body last night, if he wanted to change it to a large company, two or three hundred thousand would not be too much. Those big companies care about reputation, and PSAs should be the best way to gain fame besides charity.
Zhang Yang didn't speak, and she couldn't speak again.
There was an awkward atmosphere in the office.
Five or six minutes later, Zhang Yang finally spoke: "Mr. Zuo, you see if this will work." If the work I give you is accepted by CCTV, you give me 200,000 yuan, and then add another file, of course, manpower and equipment must be integrated. If my work is not accepted by CCTV and the transaction is invalid, it is because I didn't say it. Do you think it's okay?"
"Two hundred thousand?" This time it was Zuo Shanghua's turn to be silent.
200,000 is not even a drop in the bucket for those big companies, but it can be said to be a big account for them. The monthly expenses of their own two brand columns are only about 200,000 yuan. For a small company like them, there is not much advertising and sponsorship, so their funds are still a little tight, and it is really not easy to come up with 200,000 at once.
As for the program Zhang Yang said, she didn't think about it at all.
A person who has just stepped out of school can make a good show? I'm afraid he's lucky not to lose everything.
But she didn't pay too much attention to the show, after all, these equipment and resource companies have ready-made ones, and they are idle when they are idle.
It's just that she can't figure it out, why does he have to do a show? Could it be that he just graduated and wants to complete the task?
Zuo Shanghua was a little undecided.
Zhang Yang seemed to see Zuo Shanghua's embarrassment, and said: "Mr. Zuo, the reason why I came to see you first today, in addition to the fact that I promised you yesterday, is that a big reason is because Su Qingyan strongly recommended it. ”
Su Qingyan helped him a lot, of course he wanted to reciprocate, anyway, it was just a matter of words.
"That's all for this, I won't hide it from you, in addition to the miracle video, I have several other candidate companies here. If you can agree to my conditions, I won't have to run anymore. If you have a problem, I don't dare to force it, I'll try it at another company. So, you see......"
The corners of Zuo Shanghua's mouth were bitter, she knew that Zhang Yang was not playing some trick of retreating, she knew that he was telling the sincere truth.
The conditions he offered were not too harsh. After all, the 200,000 is based on the premise that the work is adopted by CCTV. If it were a company like VV Video, they would have readily agreed. Who makes the family have a big business, strong strength and not bad money?
"Xiao Zhang, I want to know first, how big a show are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, the show won't burn too much money, a simple show, you don't need any special stage and venue, just use your ready-made ones. I only have a prototype of what the program will be, and I haven't decided yet. ”
"What about the time?"
"We signed a three-month contract, starting from the day we recorded. But in the middle you have to cooperate with me fully. ”
"If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with the show, but ...... Can this money be lowered again?" Zuo Shanghua himself felt a little embarrassed when he said this.
Zhang Yang thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Zuo, let me ask first, if the program I make is launched and wants to advertise on our website, will I still have to pay for it?"
"Yes, the financial system of the advertising department is separate from the program team, although it is a family, but it has to be settled, but in the end, it is a family, and the price will be cheaper. ”
"In that case, 150,000 plus the two advertising slots I designated, a week. Mr. Zuo, this is also the limit of what I can back down, if it weren't for Su Da Meinu's constant recommendation, I would definitely go to another company first and then ask. ”
"Okay, deal!" Seeing that he lowered the price, Zuo Shanghua directly clapped the board.
In fact, she didn't have much hope for bargaining, and she was ready to grit her teeth and go next. After all, there are not many opportunities to show your face on CCTV. If you miss this time, you don't know if there will be a next time.
"Mr. Zuo, I still have some strings attached. ”
"You say. ”
"I want absolute right to speak and control this show. ”
"That's fine, otherwise the deal wouldn't be meaningless. ”
"The copyright of this show belongs to me. ”
"Okay. "Copyright? Whether the show is watched or not is unknown, and the copyright is almost worthless.
"The expenses during the program production are paid by the company, and I don't want a salary, but I want to take half of the profits of the program. ”
"The profit can be given to you, but I can only provide you with venue equipment and personnel, and I'm afraid there will be no way to fund it. Zuo Shanghua said: "You also know that our side is really a little tight on the funds. ”
Profit? You still want profit as a newcomer and new show? If you don't lose money, I'll thank God. The word profit is not even thought of by Zuo Shanghua. Don't say that he only needs half of it, even if he gives it all to her, it doesn't matter.
Zhang Yang thought for a while: "The advertising sponsorship fee is at my disposal." ”
"Advertisement?" Zuo Shanghua couldn't cry or laugh, and said in her heart that you still want to pull an advertisement for a new show, but she didn't pour cold water on him, and replied: "That's no problem." ”
"I'm free, not under the control of the company, and our transaction is limited to this show, and we will discuss whether to continue to cooperate after the broadcast of this show. ”
"No problem. ”
Zuo Shanghua agreed without hesitation, she didn't think that Zhang Yang had the ability to make a decent show at all. If there is a certain big director in front of her now, she estimates that it will be too little for three years. She originally looked for Zhang Yang for the work, and now she is building people and equipment, although it is acceptable, but she also wishes that the shorter the period of cooperation, the better.
"That's all I have to offer, and if you agree to it, I'll have no problem. Zhang Yang asked, "I don't know what Mr. Zuo wants?"
"I only have one request on my side, give me the work within three days, can you do it?"
"Three days should be about the same, but I only provide creativity, and the matter of making zuò is handled by you, after all, you are more professional. But my condition is that you can't change it at will, not a color or a line, you must agree to modify it, and I have to confirm the final decision, otherwise I'm not sure that CCTV will adopt it. ”
"No problem. ”
"Shall we draw up a contract?"
"Good. Zuo Shanghua pressed the landline, "Xiao Li, you call Xiao Yang from the Legal Department." ”
