The so-called VAM is actually a form of option. Through the design of the clauses, the VAM can effectively protect the interests of investors. It's just that this kind of agreement has always been extremely risky. I don't know how many vigorous companies have been swallowed by financial predators because of the failure of the VAM agreement.

At a time when China's economy was rising and taking off, countless companies with bright futures fell into the hands of Westerners because of VAM agreements. Zhang Fan could only be helpless about this kind of thing before, because he couldn't reach this level at all. But now, Zhang Fan, who is full of Wang Fang, is determined to give ABC a set!

Zhang Fan had long thought that there would be a chance to be able to treat others in his own way! Let these bastards who designed such an earth-shattering scam also taste the taste of being cheated.

"VAM agreement?" Tang En's gaze puzzled, "I don't know what kind of VAM agreement Mr. Zhang wants to agree on?"

"Whoever can become a millionaire has overseas rights to ABC TV for free. Zhang Fan quickly expressed his thoughts: "ABC TV must produce and broadcast the program within the specified time. ”

The time was set to avoid ABC TV playing tricks. After all, if they drag it out, who knows how long it will take to start production.

"After that, it's about watching the show's ratings. After a pause, Zhang Fan said, "If the average number of viewers of an episode is less than 5 million, the copyright fee of this program is completely free." ”

Don bowed his head and muttered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

The number of television stations in the United States is unimaginable. There are many programs, like stars in the sky. If a program can be viewed by 500 people, it can already be regarded as a successful program.

"If it's more than five million, then I'll charge 10 percent of all the revenue from the show, including the peripherals. Zhang Fan quietly continued to put forward his request: "If the average number of viewers per episode exceeds 10 million, then I will collect 20% of all the revenue of the program." If there are more than 15 million viewers, that's 30 percent. If it exceeds 20 million, 40 percent. ”

When Zhang Fan said this, Don and Fletcher's faces were already very strange. Zhang Fan was very greedy, and he dared to shout a demand for 40% income sharing. Doesn't he know that there has never been a program in the history of the United States that has been watched by more than 20 million people!

With such a big appetite, I'm not afraid of being propped up!!

It's just that Zhang Fan's request is not over yet.

"If. Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "The average number of viewers of this show exceeds 25 million people." ”

Everyone in the reception room looked at Zhang Fan in unison, and everyone's expressions were very strange. 20 million people have never appeared in the show, and you dare to say that 25 million people?!

"If it reaches 25 million people, in addition to the 40% share of the total revenue. Zhang Fan didn't seem to see the mockery on Tang En's face, and said to himself, "Then I will get an additional time slot for ABC TV's TV series." ”

This is what Zhang Fan really wants!

ABC is the most-watched television station in the United States, and the TV series broadcast here can be called the home of American dramas. Zhang Fan's hands are games of power, desperate housewives and many other classic American dramas. As long as the time period is won, these TV series will bring him unprecedented huge benefits.

There is no better choice to open the American market with classic American dramas.

There was silence in the reception room. Li Ruhui looked at Zhang Fan with a surprised expression, she didn't expect Zhang Fan to make such a request.

And Donn and Fletcher silently calculated the gains and losses in their hearts.

VAM is very risky. These requirements put forward by Zhang Fan are also pros and cons for them.

Under normal circumstances, it is not impossible for the number of viewers to exceed 5 million if you carefully prepare for a large investment. Ten percent is not too much for copyright.

If you have 10 million views, it depends on luck. If you're lucky, you might have it, but 20 percent is a bit of a lot. However, considering the significant increase in income after the number of viewers reached 10 million, it was barely negotiable.

But then it's too much. If it can really reach that many viewers, ABC will lose a lot. Zhang Fan was able to share a large amount of income almost without much effort. And you still need the broadcast time of the TV series?!

"This... Mr. Zhang. After thinking about it, Don said, "We may not be able to accept this request. ”

After a pause, Don then spoke, "The front one is okay, but the latter request is really unacceptable to us. I had a brand new plan to cancel everything after reaching 1,500 viewers. What does Mr. Zhang think?"

Zhang Fan smiled, smiling very happily, "Mr. Don, you Westerners have always liked to say that there is no free lunch in the world. Now I realize that you are trying to get a free meal from me. ”

"This time, you offered to buy my copyright. Now I'm willing to sell, and I've put forward a price. But he didn't think about really harming his own interests. Zhang Fan's voice was very sincere, "I have already made the conditions, if you agree, then start negotiations." If you don't agree. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Fan got up with a smile, "It just so happens to be noon now, I'll invite everyone to lunch." ”

Zhang Fan's meaning is very clear, now you are begging me, not me begging you. My offer is what I want. If you can accept it, talk about it, and if you can't accept it, don't force it.

Although this is a bit hurtful, it is true.

Donn and Fletcher's faces were a little ugly, but that's what happened in business. Now they have to ask for others, and they can only choose for themselves. If it were Zhang Fan begging them, maybe their requirements would be even more stringent!

The mall is more cruel than the battlefield, and if you have the opportunity, everyone wants to eat and wipe it clean. What kind of humiliation did the Chinese people not suffer when they begged Westerners to sell to them for the sake of advanced science and technology? As long as they can get what they want, it is not a matter at all for these people who have been working hard in the business world all year round.

"Mr. Zhang. Don thought for a moment and then spoke, "I can't reply to you for the time being. Because this is beyond my mandate, I need to report this to the board. ”

"No problem. Zhang Fan smiled and nodded, "I'm not in a hurry at all." ”

In the end, Fletcher and Don did not stay here for lunch, and left Zhang Fan's company in a hurry.

"The U.S. market is not so easy to get into. After the guests left, Li Ruhui opened her mouth with some anxiety and persuaded "There are countless people from all over the world who want to enter the American market." But who really succeeded in the end? Xenophobia is very high there, not to mention in Asia, which they have always looked down upon. ”

Li Ruhui is really worried about Zhang Fan. Although Zhang Fan's company is a start-up, the scale is not large. But it has great potential and is full of vitality. If Zhang Fan can calm down and develop the company with peace of mind, maybe it will become a real large-scale entertainment company in a few years.

But Zhang Fan seems to be carried away by his own achievements, and he wanted to enter the Japanese market by cooperating with Fuji TV before. Now I want to get the key to enter the U.S. market from ABC.

Li Ruhui is really worried that Zhang Fan will be supported because he eats too much.

The Japanese have always been xenophobic, and no one looks down on them except the Americans who defeated them. What's more, Zhang Fan is still Chinese. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult to enter the Japanese market.

And the US market is not to mention. Racial discrimination there is almost a red fruit presence. Zhang Fan wants to grab food from the Americans' plates, where will it be an easy thing?

"Don't worry. Zhang Fan smiled and patted Li Ruhui's shoulder, "I have my own plan." ”

From a normal point of view, Zhang Fan's ambition is very likely to lead to his death due to lack of greed. After all, entering other people's markets requires large-scale investment to open channels, and then it is to produce works. But once the work fails, the huge loss can even drag Zhang Fan's company to death.

After all, it's a different country, and it's hard to really succeed with something that comes out. If you fail, even your foundations will be shaken.

Going abroad is easy to say, but the price you need to pay to really do it is too great.

But Zhang Fan didn't care, because he knew what he needed.

For Zhang Fan, who holds the system in his hand, all he needs is a channel. With the channel, countless classics are enough for him to fulfill his dream!

Li Ruhui pushed Zhang Fan's hand away, glared at him, and then walked towards the door. She is the last thing she can accept that is akin to workplace harassment.

"I'll invite you to dinner. Zhang Fan touched his nose a little embarrassed, and then quickly chased after him.

When the Americans went back to discuss Zhang Fan's request, Zhang Fan was not idle. He was busy recording a brand new song again.

Zhang Fan's first official album performance can only be said to be average. However, the song sung in the show was unexpectedly popular.

Actually, it can't be said to be an accident, after all, this song really belongs to the genre where gold always shines. The video of this episode of The Sound of Music on the Internet has been downloaded countless times, and countless fans are asking Zhang Fan to release a real single to enjoy. And various program invitations have also expressed their hope that Zhang Fan can sing this song.

The fire in the vast sky made Zhang Fan's energy temporarily shift to this song. At Li Ruhui's strong request, he began to concentrate on recording a new single and preparing to launch it on the market. After all, the needs of fans are the foundation of the music industry.

At the same time, the TV drama crew prepared by Chen Guozhong has also been formed and officially entered the preparatory stage.

Zhang Fan finally came up with the script of the TV series. And the name of this TV series is called.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy!
