Chen Xiaoyi is over forty years old, but she is still dressed seriously. A well-fitting suit, meticulous hair, and a pair of eyes as clear as an eagle. There was a faint smile on the angular face, as if with a reassuring atmosphere.

"I don't know what Mr. Zhang suggests?" Chen Xiaoyi was also very curious about Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan was still messing around in USC at this age, but Zhang Fan was already famous in the circle and relied on his wisdom to earn the first pot of gold.

Most of the other TV stations expressed concerns about Zhang Fan's test of entering the film and television industry, and even many TV stations wanted to bundle the deal. agreed to the broadcast of Zhang Fan's TV series with harsh conditions, and also wanted Zhang Fan to give a variety show. Only Chen Xiaoyi withstood the request of the stage and released kindness to Zhang Fan.

It's not that Chen Xiaoyi is really as discerning as a torch, and can see that Zhang Fan's new drama is bound to be a hit. It's that he believes that Zhang Fan, who has never failed before, can't squander his reputation rashly.

Although Zhang Fan is young, he will definitely not be an impulsive young man.

"My advice is simple. Zhang Fan put down the coffee cup in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "Let's have a win-win cooperation." ”

"Although there has never been a precedent for a game adaptation to a TV series before. But just because you don't have it doesn't mean you won't succeed. "Zhang Fan's face is calm" Once successful, the ultra-high ratings are an irresistible benefit for any TV station. ”

"But it's also possible to fail, isn't it?" Chen Xiaoyi drank his coffee quietly.

"Failure?" Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows, "There is no failure in my dictionary." Moreover, there are more film and television dramas that fail every year. ”

Chen Xiaoyi didn't speak, just smiled and shook his head. There is a corresponding channel for TV dramas broadcast by any TV station. They also have contracts with different production companies. If you rush to join one, the interests of all parties will be affected. Without enough benefits, it's hard to talk about any aspect.

"My new drama can be filmed and broadcast at the same time. Zhang Fan continued to speak, "If the ratings are below a certain level, the TV station can cut it at any time." ”

Chen Xiaoyi was moved, "Determined so much?"

Filming and broadcasting while is not an innovation, and most foreign TV dramas use this method. It's just that it's rare to see in China.

What shocked Chen Xiaoyi was that Zhang Fan actually allowed the TV series to be cut when the ratings were poor? This kind of thing is definitely a very serious blow to his company. If you want to enter the film and television industry in the future, it will be very troublesome.

"And. Zhang Fan took a light breath, "If I launch a new variety show in the future, I will give priority to cooperating with Jiangnan TV." ”

Chen Xiaoyi finally smiled. That's what he wants.

There are many TV series launched by various TV stations every year, and there are many successes but even more failures. It is not a big deal to choose a TV series produced by Zhang Fan's company for broadcasting. And what they value more is Zhang Fan's terrible strength in variety shows.

That's right, it's terrible strength. Zhang Fan's variety shows are very terrible, and he has never failed, not to mention, every show is a fire. It is even so popular that foreigners have to rush to buy copyrights.

Who doesn't want to have this kind of show on a TV station?

Now with Zhang Fan's assurance, Chen Xiaoyi smiled and stretched out her hand to him, "Happy cooperation." ”

It's actually not that difficult to do business, but the most difficult thing to do business in any industry is the access to the market. The most difficult thing is the threshold that needs to be crossed to enter the market.

------

It's time for someone from the U.S. side again. But this time it wasn't ABC's guys, it was FOX.

FOX, which is Fox TV. This is a giant that can compete with the three giants of American television, and its upper holding group is the famous News Corporation.

Compared to several other major TV stations, FOX has always been known for its big spending. The things they like and are willing to buy are always bought at a large price, giving people a sense of wealth. And this time FOX came to Huaxia for the variety show copyright in Zhang Fan's hands.

It's not the copyright of the show who can become a millionaire, but another program in Zhang Fan's hands, the copyright of the national draft.

When he learned what FOX wanted, Zhang Fan's expression changed very strangely in Li Ruhui's eyes, just like when ABC wanted to buy who could become a millionaire copyright. In Li Ruhui's words, it is a kind of cunning fox who can't fly out when he sees the old hen falling into the pit by himself.

And Zhang Fan rolled his eyes and responded to her, "You are the fox!"

Li Ruhui has a high waist and long legs, white skin and beautiful appearance. obviously has a seductive woman's charm, but she has to hide it with a professional outfit and a serious work look. This kind of actual charming and solemn appearance is the most attractive. This can already be regarded as a vixen. It's just that Zhang Fan didn't want to be chased and killed by Li Ruhui, so he didn't dare to say the rest of the words.

"Hello Mr. Zhang, I'm Victor Lane, Executive Vice President of FOX Television. A middle-aged white man with a fat body, a little hair and a pale complexion stretched out his fat hand to Zhang Fan with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Lane. Zhang Fan was silent on the surface, but he was a little surprised in his heart that he was able to achieve a high position at FOX but was such a fat man with such an unattractive appearance. Either they have connections and paths, or they have outstanding abilities.

Americans also talk about relationships and ways. It's just that they're more hidden.

"I don't know what Mr. Ryan is doing this time?" Zhang Fan, who asked knowingly, sat on the sofa to entertain his guests.

"FOX is very interested in Mr. Zhang's rights to the national talent show. "Ryan does seem to be the type with great abilities. Even if he had already expressed his intention when he contacted him before, he still had a serious negotiation look at this time, "We want to buy this copyright." ”

"American idol?" Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows, and suddenly said this.

"Huh?" Ryan, who was originally smiling, instantly widened his eyes, "American Idol?!good, good! That's great!

For a successful show, Ryan knows exactly how important a good name is. Ryan, who has been in this industry for so many years, reacted subconsciously when he heard the name American Idol, which was fantastic!

"I don't know what Mr. Zhang wants. "Ryan is a business elite after all, and he quickly recovers and starts asking about the sale price.

Hearing Ryan's inquiry, Zhang Fan was a little silent. He had been thinking about this question for a long time, how should he ask for FOX TV, and would it be the same as ABC?

Zhang Fan actually knows very well that even if it is a gambling agreement, he is still very weak in front of these behemoths. Making that kind of request is more of a sky-high asking type. It's too hard to get them to agree. This is the case with an ABC, and it is even more unlikely with the addition of FOX.

Moreover, he could not have invested so much energy and time to follow two TV stations at the same time. At least for now, we can only focus on one force. Only when you have enough strength will you make the next move.

After thinking about these things clearly, Zhang Fan raised his head and looked at Ryan and said his thoughts: "In terms of price, my bottom line is 80 million US dollars. On top of that, I'd like FOX to do me a small favor. ”

Ryan's heart tightened, and 80 million words were already beyond the psychological price of FOX. It's just that there is not something that cannot be discussed. What he cares about now is what Zhang Fan wants FOX to help. This kind of thing is more troublesome than a definite amount.

"Some time ago, someone from ABC TV came to see me. Zhang Fan smiled and said his request, "They also took a fancy to the copyright of a program in my hand." Don't worry, it's not a national draft. ”

Ryan smiled and quietly waited for Zhang Fan's next request.

"I asked them, but they never gave a definite response. Zhang Fan looked at Ryan and said softly, "I want to ask FOX to help put pressure on them." ”

Zhang Fan's request is nothing for FOX, and he can even pit his competitor ABC.

Because if only one person has a need, it is natural to think more. However, once a strong competitor emerges, the situation will be completely different.

Zhang Fan asked FOX to help put pressure on ABC, which was also to buy the copyright, but the news that spread through the grapevine was to buy the copyright of who could become a millionaire. As soon as the news spreads, the ABC side will immediately face great pressure.

Either you don't buy it, watch your competitors take the show and broadcast it. If the grades are not good, you can stand aside and eat melon seeds to watch jokes. But if the results are outstanding, the accountability of the board of directors will come down in an instant, why should the good programs we watch fall into the hands of competitors?!

If you buy it, what about the harsh conditions proposed by Zhang Fan?

When FOX got the word out, the ABC people couldn't sit still any longer. Tang En came to the imperial capital again to negotiate with Zhang Fan.

"Mr. Zhang. "Don was alone when he came here again, after all, it was ABC's business, and Fletcher was only in charge of liaison. "We came up with a new solution after research. ”

"Speak. Zhang Fan raised his hand to signal.

The VAM agreement is still valid, but the terms have been changed to free use of copyright with an average rating of less than 10 million people. If there are more than 15 million people, Mr. Zhang can get a 10% share of the program's revenue, excluding the peripherals. Speaking of this, Tang En glanced up at Zhang Fan. Seeing Zhang Fan's expressionless expression, he continued to speak, "More than 20 million people, 20 percent." More than 25 million people, 30 percent. ”

The conference room was quiet, and everyone was looking at Zhang Fan, waiting for his reply.

"There are two things that need to be revised. Zhang Fan was silent for a moment and then spoke, "First, the income from peripheral products should be added to the revenue share. Second, if the number of viewers exceeds 25 million, give me the time slot for the TV series. ”

"This," Don said, with a look of embarrassment, "this is the final clause after the board of directors has deliberated. ”

"What I just said is also the last clause I gave. Zhang Fan's face remained unchanged, "You can choose not to accept it." ABC is not the only TV station that wants the rights to the program, and I have no shortage of buyers. ”

"And. Zhang Fan smiled: "You have no choice. ”
