Chapter 102: Professional makeup artist Chen Ke
Liu Mang and Zhang Xiyu finished recording their respective programs, and then took a leave from Director Xue, and then the two left the radio building. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Not long after they left, a windy Rolls-Royce pulled up at the entrance of the radio building.
Then Zhou Fubao and Qin Shu got out of the car.
Zhou Fubao was obese, Qin Shu was as thin as dry wood, and the two walked together, which made people laugh.
Along the way, Qin Shu told Zhou Fubao not to talk nonsense. Zhou Fubao naturally agreed, he was very glad to have found this Dean Qin, otherwise he wouldn't know how much more money he would spend!
After entering the elevator, Zhou Fubao reassured: "Don't worry, old man, I will only be a listener this time." I don't open my mouth until I'm talking. It's up to you! ”
Qin Shu nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "There is no fixed price for intellectual property rights, it can be high or low, let's try to save some money, the problem that can be solved by 1 million must not be used 1.01 million!" “
"Yes, yes, yes," Zhou Fubao promised, "When the matter is completed, I will definitely give you a big red envelope!" ”
Qin Shu waved his hand, "Hey, money is something outside the body, you don't bring it in life, and you don't take it in death." At my age, if you have no children and no daughters, what do you need money for? The reason why I am willing to help you with this is because I think you kid has ideas and a future! What others don't dare to think about and do, but you want to do it, why should I not support you? ”
Hearing this, Zhou Fubao only felt warm in his heart. He was really moved. Although the other party said that he didn't want money, he couldn't let people work in vain, right? Zhou Fubao still decided to give Qin Shu a big red envelope, after all, there will be more times to trouble people in the future!
It is said that he is rich and unkind, but in fact, Zhou Fubao has a very good heart. It's a pity that this appearance is seriously not up to par.
The two went up to the 17th floor, and the four directors who had already received the news came to the elevator to wait.
When everyone meets, it is natural to have some greetings. Although everyone knows that this is just hypocrisy (except for Zhou Fubao), this greeting did bring them closer.
The meeting took place in a small conference room, next door to the director's office.
The female assistant served tea to everyone, and then took the initiative to withdraw and took the door with her. Naturally, not everyone can participate in such an important matter.
As promised before, Zhou Fubao stopped speaking from the moment he entered the conference room, and he handed over the negotiation to Qin Shu.
Qin Shu didn't want to continue to go around the corner, so he asked directly: "Have you all thought about the issue of copyright fees?" ”
Deputy Director Zhou smiled and said: "In the past, our radio station rarely involved this aspect of business, so we were not sure about pricing. Yesterday we consulted with relevant people and they gave a few suggestions. ”
Qin Shu didn't answer, he knew that the other party would continue.
"Uncle Pumpkin's "Notes on Tomb Robbery" sold the film rights as early as five years ago, and the price at that time was 3 million. The film copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which was sung by the world, was sold three years ago for 5 million. In the past two years, with the IP fire, the copyright fee has also risen. The TV adaptation rights of "Palace Lock Qingchuan" and "Flower Thousand Bone" have been sold for tens of millions, and "The Legend of Miyue" and "Lang Evil List" are as high as 30 million. And last year, Tang Sanshao sold the film copyright of "Bro Continent" to Hollywood, and the price has exceeded many people's imagination, reaching an astonishing 100 million! Speaking of this, Deputy Director Zhou stopped.
Hearing the numbers in front, Zhou Fubao was nothing, but when he got to the back, his heart jumped up. He just wants to buy a movie copyright, so why not be so exaggerated? Also 100 million? How much does it cost to make a movie?
Qin Shu smiled, "The examples you gave are all novels, and we are talking about broadcasting. As far as I know, the highest price for broadcast rights doesn't seem to exceed 7 figures. ”
Deputy Director Xu said: "You may not know that the story of "Infinite Terror" is not only broadcast, it has also been published as a novel on the world's largest original Chinese website! They have a list of new books there, and "Infinite Terror" is currently ranked first on the list, and below it is Tang Sanshao's new book "The Legend of the Dragon". It is rumored that the copyright to the novel "Legend of the Dragon" has also been sold, and the price is not much lower than the previous "Bro Continent"! ”
Qin Shu smiled: "Say, what is your offer?" ”
Deputy Director Zhou and Director Yan glanced at each other, and under the instruction of the other party, they spoke: "We naturally know that "Infinite Terror" cannot be compared with those mature works for the time being, but the potential of "Infinite Terror" will not be much worse. As long as it is vigorously promoted, its IP will become more and more hype, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes one of the top IPs in China. After much negotiation and considering the future of Infinite Terror, we decided that it would be worth the lowest amount. ”
As he spoke, Deputy Director Zhou stretched out his left hand.
Qin Shu's eyes narrowed, and he said with some surprise: "That's just a radio story that has been done for a few days, and you actually offered five million?" ”
Deputy Director Zhou shook his head, "It's not five million, it's fifty million!" ”
Qin Shu was so shocked that he almost didn't bite off his tongue, he didn't expect that the other party would open his mouth and ask for 50 million directly! Are these bastards crazy about money? A radio story costs 50 million?
Qin Shu stood up directly, pulled Zhou Fubao and left. Didn't even say a superfluous word.
When the four directors saw it, they couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts, knowing that something bad was going to happen!
Deputy Director Zou, who hadn't spoken much, said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, we have something to discuss." ”
Deputy Director Xu next to him also said: "Good to discuss, good to discuss." ”
Qin Shu's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Do you guys seem to be negotiable?" Fifty million? Why don't you grab it? Oh yes, it's not so fast to rob a bank. ”
"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient," Deputy Director Zou pulled Qin Shu back to his seat, and said again, "This copyright matter is not a fixed price, we can talk slowly." ”
Qin Shu waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to talk about anymore, the price gap between our two sides is too big." It can't be talked about at all. You'd better sell the copyright to someone else, we can't afford it! ”
As soon as these words came out, others were not in a hurry, but Zhou Fubao was in a hurry first. He can't give this copyright to others, and he still expects to make it into a movie and fulfill Yang Ying's dream! If he can't get this copyright, what will he use to make his angel popular?
Qin Shu noticed Zhou Fubao's expression and stepped on him below. Zhou Fubao put his heart down as soon as he saw the other party's eyes. It turned out that all this was Dean Qin's strategy and an illusion.
When the four directors saw that the boiled duck was about to fly, they were nervous one by one.
Deputy Director Zhou opened his mouth and asked, "Then what is your offer?" ”
Qin Shu also stretched out his left hand.
The four directors breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Since the other party is willing to pay 5 million, it is still possible for them to raise the price appropriately and sell the copyright to 20 million. However, what Qin Shu said next made them open their mouths wide.
"Five hundred thousand!" This is Qin Shu's offer.
Director Yan, Deputy Director Zhou, Deputy Director Zou, and Deputy Director Xu were all interested in talking. If it's just 500,000, then they're still making a! This 500,000 points is not enough for everyone to stuff their teeth!
There was a stiff silence in the room.
Zhou Fubao saw that this was the rhythm of talking, and when he opened his mouth, he was about to speak. was stopped by Qin Shu in time.
Qin Shu said bitterly: "I said we can't talk, right?" Forget it, you sell the copyright to someone else. If you run into a fool, maybe you can sell it for a whopping 50 million. ”
Deputy Director Zhou said: "Since everyone wants to talk, then they should talk openly and honestly. Talks like this are impossible to talk about in any way. We can take the initiative to take a step back, 30 million! ”
"A million at most! This is already our greatest sincerity. Qin Shu said.
Deputy Director Zou smiled, "We took the initiative to reduce 20 million, but you only added 5 million, it seems that your sincerity is not enough!" ”
Qin Shu glared, "You only lost two-fifths, but we doubled." Whose sincerity is a little more sufficient, everyone should be clear! ”
……
There is a saying that "ask for a price all over the sky, sit on the ground and pay back", and this is often the case when talking about business.
The merchant will offer a sky-high price to sell something (this is the freedom of the seller), while the buyer will have to bargain hard (which is also the freedom of the buyer). One is fifty million, the other is five hundred thousand, and the gap between these two prices is indeed too big. But as long as you have the intention to buy and sell sincerely, both parties will agree on a mutually acceptable price.
The four directors are all old foxes with tacit understanding, and Qin Shuren is old and sophisticated, and he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The two sides had a heated discussion on the issue of copyright price. Zhou Fubao sat there and didn't speak, as if he was watching a play, as if the issues discussed by everyone had nothing to do with him.
Just when everyone was bargaining fiercely, Liu Mang took Zhang Xiyu to a coffee shop near Qingying Studio.
There were already two women waiting in the shop.
One of them is Zhang Xiaohua, who is the introducer. Another woman, perhaps called a girl, is the makeup artist that Zhang Xiaohua found for Liu Mang.
This girl has a perfect melon seed face, delicate facial features, and a petite figure. Dressing is very different from ordinary girls, whether it is a long-sleeved shirt, slim trousers, or a pair of five-centimeter high heels, they are all dark colors.
She sat by the window, the sunlight shining through the glass window, but it still gave people a dark and cold feeling. Judging from the aura emanating from this girl's body, she seems to be indifferent, lonely, negative, and even rebellious.
As soon as Liu Mang and the two sat down, Zhang Xiaohua introduced this girl, "Her name is Chen Ke, don't look at her age, but she is the most powerful makeup artist I know, you can tell her if you have any requirements, and you have to negotiate the price yourself." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaohua left here with interest.
Chen Ke doesn't seem to like to talk much. From the time Liu Mang and the others entered the door until Zhang Xiaohua left, she never said a word.
Zhang Xiyu frowned, she had never met this kind of girl, and she was resistant from the bottom of her heart.
Liu Mang was also a little surprised, but he was more concerned about whether the other party could meet his requirements.
Liu Mang got straight to the point and asked directly: "I need to use makeup to turn Xiyu into another person." Can you do it? ”
Chen Ke looked up at Zhang Xiyu, his eyes were indifferent, without a trace of warmth. Such a gaze made Zhang Xiyu very uncomfortable.
Chen Ke looked at it carefully, and finally spoke, "No problem." ”
Her voice was soft and cold, as if her whole body was made of cold stone. Her eyes, her expressions, and her movements seem to be forever rejecting people from thousands of miles away.
This kind of girl is very rare in real life, either she has experienced some painful experience in her childhood, or she has been alone since she was a child. Without a dark, negative upbringing and experience, it is impossible for a girl to become like this.
But these have nothing to do with Liu Mang, he doesn't have time to care about other people's past, he just needs the other party to meet his requirements.
Liu Mang added: "I position her as a company employee, an assistant from a large company in New York, USA. So be formal in makeup, glamorous makeup and smoky makeup are definitely not good. ”
Chen Ke nodded.
Seeing this, Liu Mang said again: "Then let's start trying makeup now." ”
"Go wash your face first." Chen Ke's voice was still so cold.
With that, she put the toolbox at her feet on the table, and then expertly opened the box. The box space is not large, but it neatly lists all kinds of cosmetics, some common, some rare, and special.
Just by looking at this toolbox, you can see how professional this girl is. (To be continued.) )
