Chapter 160: "That's It"

Lin Yi is by no means empty words, in his design, the Yishi live broadcast platform is indeed resolutely opposed to cyan performances, and even marginal football is resolutely not allowed!

Because Lin Yi knows very well that the live broadcast industry will become more and more standardized in a few years, and the kind of live broadcast platform that plays the side ball will either die completely under the wave of radio and television seizures, or after being seized many times, the development opportunity will be delayed, and it will eventually be eliminated.

Therefore, those interviewers who are trying to be submerged or worried about being submerged, the worry is all unnecessary.

In the end, there were 35 interviewers, and after Lin Yi spoke, only 26 people stayed and waited for a separate interview, and after Lin Yi and Chen Yanan interviewed alone, only 10 people were finally left.

These ten people will eventually sign a contract with Yishi.com and become the contracted artists of Yishi.com, and begin to conduct basic training in makeup, camera sense, eloquence and other aspects under the guidance of professional teachers found by Chen Yanan.

At the same time, Lin Yi's interview also included the company's management.

Yishi will exist as a subsidiary of Tianyi Entertainment, Yishi will start APP and web page two user ports at the same time, the web page is easy to do, there is no shortage of talents in the Internet industry, as long as you are willing to pay a high salary, whether it is management, or technical experts, it is not a problem. But Lin Yi has to go out in person on the APP side, and there is still a very lack of development talents in China, whether it is Android or Apple, as for Saipan? What the hell is that? Lin Yi is too lazy to develop!

Lin Yi didn't do it himself, it took three days to compile the architecture of the two mobile phone clients, and then left it to the new company's newly hired artists to do appearance optimization, and he went to Baoli Company to discuss Jackson's concert.

Jackson's agent George finally came to China, and he was suddenly notified yesterday that Lin Yi had to put down the preparations of Yishi and go to the airport to pick up the airport with Mr. Hou.

George was indeed very busy, and after arriving at the hotel, he did not rest, and talked about the cooperation plan for the concert in the suite of the luxurious room on the spot.

In fact, it has been negotiated by phone for the past two months, and it was finally finalized that the Jackson concert will be held at the Bird's Nest, and in addition to the 80,000 seats on site, an additional 24,000 seats will be added. The Chinese side needs to ensure that more than 100,000 spectators are present on that day, and undertake on-site security and medical care.

Of course that's fine!

As for the various cumbersome requirements of the legendary Jackson concert, what meals, water, and even equipment transportation and so on, it is not a problem, today's China is very well connected with the world, can these problems be solved?

Then the most critical issue is the distribution of benefits!

This is also the key issue that George had to come to the capital in person for an interview.

According to George's request, there are two options for the Chinese side to choose, one is that the Chinese side bears all the performance expenses, and Jackson's side charges a one-time performance fee of 10 million US dollars, and as for how much the ticket price sells, whether it makes money or loses money, Jackson's side does not care at all -- this is tantamount to chartering the performance.

Another option is for the two sides to share the cost of the performance, and the final income will be divided between the United States and the Chinese side, and the United States will occupy 60%.

Let's do the math, which plan is more cost-effective?

For example, if all 100,000 tickets are sold, the global average price of ordinary tickets for Jackson's concert is about 100 US dollars, and with a small number of VIP tickets, the total revenue of a concert will not exceed 15 million US dollars, which means that the Chinese side will have almost no money to make by paying 10 million to the United States and then bear all the expenses of the concert -- Jackson's concert, it is too easy to spend millions of dollars on the preparation funds!

Of course, there is another possible place to make a profit, and that is the broadcasting rights. The worldwide broadcast rights to Jackson's '93 concert were sold for $12 million! Now, don't even think about it without 20 or 30 million.

But the problem is that Jackson's concerts rarely sell broadcast rights, and George also said that the broadcast rights of this concert belong to them, and China has no right to interfere.

This is embarrassing, you control the majority of the money that can make money, and you have to charge 10 million appearance fees for tickets that don't make money, is there a little sincerity?

Although the Chinese side may make a little more money than the buyout, the same lion's share is in the hands of the United States, and there are all kinds of risks that need to be borne, such as whether people will faint or even die at the concert......

The negotiations were at a stalemate, Lin Yi and Mr. Hou simply said goodbye to George first, and agreed to continue the talks tomorrow, and George also said that he would leave by plane at noon tomorrow, hoping that the Chinese side could make a decision as soon as possible.

Sitting in Mr. Hou's car, Mr. Hou sighed and said, "This agent really regards himself as a character? Look at that arrogant posture, if you want to put me young for a while, I have to smoke him!"

Lin Yi laughed in his heart, this Mr. Hou's background is not simple.

However, it is not to blame that Mr. Hou is very angry, Lin Yi is also very popular, and the conversation on the phone is quite pleasant, although the other party has put forward a lot of conditions, but the offer of profit sharing is also acceptable - the premise is that he did not raise the issue of TV broadcasting rights at that time, in that case, no matter which plan, the Chinese side will make money.

But now there is a sentence that the TV broadcast rights belong to them? What a piece of!

"Mr. Hou, how much do you say if the TV broadcast rights can be sold?" Lin Yi asked.

Mr. Hou snorted angrily and said, "I estimate that it should be able to sell for thirty or thirty million, dollars." But we don't have a share of how much we can sell!"

"Shall we buy it?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Shall we buy it?" Mr. Hou was stunned.

"George is so tough now, I guess there is a TV station bidding for him. Lin Yi said, "If we open a price similar to the other party, and say that this is our bottom line, otherwise we will cancel the cooperation, do you think George will agree to us?"

If all the concerts are cancelled, where will the broadcast rights come from?

Mr. Hou said: "But what's the use of us buying the broadcast rights? and then selling it? Then we won't make any money!"

"Hehe, if we negotiate successfully, and then say to the outside world that this will be Jackson's last performance, then how much do you say this broadcast right can appreciate?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Uh...... This is a rumor......" Mr. Hou said in amazement.

"What if Jackson announced it himself?" Lin Yi's smile deepened.

"What, what do you mean?" Mr. Hou's mind was a little out of the corner.

Although there was media hype at the beginning of this world tour that this would be Jackson's last world tour, for example, the name of this world tour is "That's it", which can mean goodbye......

But Jackson himself never said so.

What would it mean if Jackson himself publicly stated that the Beijing Bird's Nest concert would be the last stop of his most extensive world tour?
