Chapter 120: Do You Want to Be a Millionaire?
In addition to this main reason, there is also the introduction of parallel worlds in Huaxia's programs, which have been popular all over the world before, and its sensationality and publicity effect are naturally greatly reduced.
It's just that these are nothing to Zhang Fan at this time.
In this world, this type of program is Zhang Fan's first creation. The style of the show is also biased towards the East. As for the problem of insufficient bonuses, there is no difficulty for Zhang Fan. As long as you can answer all the questions correctly, you can get a prize of 1 million in each episode!
This is not just talking, but actually giving a prize of 1 million to the champion!
In this era when the average salary of most people is only a few thousand yuan, one million is definitely a huge amount of money that no one can refuse. The vast majority of people do not eat or drink, do not spend a dime, and work for almost 20 years to save this money. But who can go without eating or drinking for twenty years?
Although this money may be enough for a down payment on a house in such a large city, it is still a huge amount of money!
It's not just a million-dollar prize for the champion, but actually a prize for every question you answer correctly. Keep accumulating upwards until the last million-dollar jackpot. In other words, as long as the contestants are not stupid and hopeless, they can at least take away a prize money.
In a commodity society, there is nothing more eye-catching than living money. Who wouldn't want to get money just by answering a question? In many cases, the audience is even more eager than the contestants. Zhang Fan knew that this show was destined to be successful.
After planning the show, the most important thing now is to win the broadcast time slot of the show.
This show is so gold-absorbing, Zhang Fan naturally can't find someone to cooperate like a good voice to get the lion's share. In fact, when he did a good job of sound before, Zhang Fan originally wanted to take the big head himself. It's just that he didn't have enough strength at hand at that time, and there was no way to compete head-on with the TV station, so he could only keep the copyright and win his first pot of gold at the same time.
Now it's different, Zhang Fan, the most gold-absorbing show in history, is ready to take the lion's share himself.
However, he does not have a TV station, so he can only choose to cooperate with a TV station. In order to expand its influence and spread the influence of the program to the greatest extent in the shortest possible time, the largest national TV station in China is the best choice.
If it is another channel, especially a variety channel, it is impossible to win the prime time. Even if Zhang Fan offers a sky-high price, it can't work. It's not that they don't want to make money, it's that they can't sell it during this period of time. This is the basis of the TV station, and it is impossible to sell it to others in any case.
But you can talk about it on the art channel. Because this kind of channel is not concerned, and it has always belonged to the department that needs to post money in the station. If Zhang Fan can really offer the right price, then there is nothing that cannot be negotiated.
When Cheng Qu went back and passed the news to Taiwan, those leaders who had spent more than 300 million yuan to buy domestic copyrights from Zhang Fan felt very incredible.
"Is he crazy?" The first person to speak in the conference room was Deputy Director Qi. The hatred between this man and Zhang Fan has been poured out of all the lakes and seas that cannot be washed away, and his attitude towards Zhang Fan is naturally to say how bad he thinks.
"What does he mean by that?"
"Do you still want to do a show with us?"
"You won't sell us the rights again this time, will you?"
"Are you sure it's the Art Channel?"
"Time to buy? It's the first time I've heard of it. ”
"The show has to be reviewed."
"How much does he pay?"
There was a lot of discussion in the meeting room, and all kinds of ideas and speculations kept emerging. But the most is asking how much money Zhang Fan can pay.
No matter what kind of contradictions there were before, when it comes to interests, it is natural that interests are still the priority. The conference room is full of veteran drivers, and they can still distinguish the priorities.
"Zhang Fan's condition is to sign a contract for two years and buy the literary channel for one hour from 8 to 9 o'clock every weekend night." Cheng Qu calmly said Zhang Fan's request, "As for the price, 100 million per year." ”
"Hiss~~~" Many bigwigs in the conference room showed surprise.
It's not like they've never seen so much money. With the influence of national television, I make more money every year. However, they will of course be shocked that the literary channel, which has always needed the support of the station, can sell for as much as 100 million per year at the price of one hour every weekend.
If this price is placed on the variety channel, it wouldn't be amazing, but if it is on the literary channel where grandma doesn't love uncle and doesn't love it, they can't figure it out. Could it be that Zhang Fan is stupid?
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room, and in the end, Deputy Director Qi asked the topic that everyone was concerned about, "What program is Zhang Fan going to make?" ”
These people are all old drivers, and it is impossible for them to really not see Zhang Fan's record in the host industry. Otherwise, the two grants totaling 80 million yuan for the previous Good Voice program would not have been released so easily.
Since Zhang Fan made the show, every program has been popular in ratings, and even every program has been the ratings champion in the same period. This has never happened before in this industry.
Since Zhang Fan has never failed, he will naturally attract the attention of these people if he wants to continue to do new shows now.
"A quiz show." Cheng Qu didn't know what program Zhang Fan had prepared, he only knew that this was a quiz program.
"Trivia?" The veteran drivers in the conference room were a little disappointed.
Although the quiz and the literary channel seem to be somewhat appropriate, they really can't see any signs of making money from this type of program. Which audience is idle and has nothing to do, what quiz will they watch?
"The copyright of that show ......" Deputy Director Qi is still relatively shrewd. Although I don't understand what kind of plane Zhang Fan is engaged in, I am sensitive to the fact that Zhang Fan is not the kind of person who has no purpose. Subconsciously, I want to make an insurance.
Zhang Fan said that the condition is that the annual purchase period fee is 100 million yuan. There is no need to talk about anything else, and there is no need to talk about it. "Cheng Qu has a deep understanding of the greed of these people in front of him," he said, and the stage either accepts it or not. There are so many domestic TV stations, and he has no shortage of collaborators. This time it's mainly to help me. ”
Although Zhang Fan's words are not good, they are very real.
In terms of Zhang Fan's reputation in the TV industry at this time, he said that if he wanted to do a new program, some TV stations took the initiative to invite him. There will simply be no shortage of collaborators. As for Zhang Fan's desire to use the platform of national television to promote the program, they didn't see it. After all, people in this industry now regard literary channels as chicken ribs.
Zhang Fan also knew that these people were very greedy, so he directly offered a price that they couldn't refuse. At the same time, he said that he could do it if he wanted to, and if he didn't want to do it, he would find others to cooperate to block other requirements. Along with the big stick intimidation, his plan succeeded.
After repeated meetings and studies, the state television station finally agreed to Zhang Fan's request.
Although there were many contradictions with Zhang Fan before, these contradictions were naturally covered up in the face of an annual income of 100 million. No one is going to get along with money.
And the literary channel, which has always reached out to the station to ask for money, has turned over this time. Although it is far from being comparable to the income of the variety channel, at least there is a large amount of income!
The two sides soon signed a contract, and Zhang Fan bid 100 million yuan a year to buy a one-hour weekend time slot on the National Television Channel. The production of programs has nothing to do with national television after approval. Whether it is a profit or a loss, it is Zhang Fan's own business.
The show is earned, and it is all Zhang Fan's. The show lost money, and Zhang Fan paid for it. However, the annual income of 100 million yuan of national television station is guaranteed by drought and flood.
The contract was signed very carefully, even more meticulously than the previous program contract of The Voice. Zhang Fan demanded that his lawyer eliminate all possible troubles in the contract. And those lawyers who were hired at a high price are not worthy of their high income, and there is absolutely no flaw in the contract between the two parties.
When the show was reported, Zhang Fan left a careful thought, changed his name to a tentative happy dictionary, and did not mention the bonus at all.
Wait until the contract is officially in effect and all the issues are settled. The show carefully prepared by Zhang Fan changed its appearance in an instant, and it became the one in the world before that made countless people smack their tongues, who can become a millionaire!
Zhang Fan's choice of two years was carefully considered. The most lucrative part of this kind of show is the opening stage. Two years is enough time for Zhang Fan to make a lot of money. At the same time, all aspects of derivatives and licensing have been put in place. At that time, it will be a large amount of income to sell directly at a high price.
After all, Zhang Fan has too many choices, and he doesn't need to live on this show for a long time.
And if you make such a large amount of money, there are too many people in all aspects, and it is estimated that the pressure from all sides will swarm over too long. Two years later, he sold it and got rid of the trouble.
Zhang Fan has never been a fool, his vision is very precise and he knows when to do something. There will be no hesitation when it's time to let go. But now, what he has to do is to make this show popular as soon as possible!

The footsteps of spring are gradually leaving, and the weather is gradually getting hotter.
The girls on the street are wearing less and less, and those with fragrant shoulders and beautiful legs are showing their beautiful side as much as possible.
Zhao Chengdong, who works as a clerk in a company, reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the legs of a beautiful girl not far away, and stepped out of the subway car.
Feeling the hot breath in the air, Zhao Chengdong, who sighed, came to the familiar street restaurant to pack a dinner and returned to his rented house.
Habitually turn on the computer to browse the news while eating a cheap dinner.
Suddenly, a news story with a huge headline came into view. Puzzled, I clicked on the page, and the first sentence I saw was.
"Do you want to be a millionaire?"
