Because the media carried out "propaganda and momentum" in the early stage, after the first episode of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" was broadcast, it became popular in Xiangjiang overnight, whether it was ordinary citizens or rich businessmen and celebrities, this radio drama was almost indispensable in daily conversations.

According to later statistics, the listeners of Thunder 881 Channel on the night of the program's broadcast hit a record high, and this result made the senior management of the commercial station excited and began to worry again.

The program was so popular that listeners asked the commercial station to change the frequency of the program from once every three days to one broadcast a day through various methods such as calling and sending letters, but because of the lack of expectations for this program in the early stage, the senior management of the commercial station only agreed to Yu Zheng to record two episodes to try to see the effect, and this result was reluctantly agreed under Yu Zheng's efforts.

What's even worse is that although Commercial TV agreed to Yu Zheng's production of the program, it has not officially reached any agreement with Lin Xi on the issue of program copyright, which means that if Lin Xi picks a child or jumps to another radio station at this time, Commercial TV has no way to take him.

After realizing this strict problem, the controversy over whether the program is broadcast every three days or once a day is no longer important, the important thing is to immediately make amends and buy the copyright of the radio drama first.

The heavy responsibility of negotiating with Lin Xi naturally fell on Yu Zheng's shoulders.

"You did it on purpose, right?"

Yu Zheng put down the water glass in his hand and looked at Lin Xi who was comfortably leaning on the sofa with Erlang's legs on the other side.

"What?"

Lin Xi looked at Yu Zheng in confusion, and felt very puzzled by her sudden words.

"Don't pretend to be confused, do you dare to say that this matter is not a set for you to give me?" Yu Zheng glared at Lin Xi, "You didn't mention a word about such an important matter as copyright transfer before, don't tell me that you forgot about it, and I don't believe it when you say it!" ”

"Yes, I did it on purpose, but I also had a hard time." Lin Xi yawned and stretched, if Yu Zheng hadn't come to the door early in the morning, he would definitely not have gotten up at this time, "I mentioned this matter before recording the show, how high can the commercial station give me?" I'm not willing to let the price go down, and if the price is high, Shangtai will definitely not agree, so I'll put this matter aside for now, and after everyone clearly sees the value of this work, it will be easier to discuss this issue. ”

Yu Zheng also knew that Lin Xi was telling the truth, but she still couldn't help complaining: "You save trouble, but do you know how much pressure I am now?" Some people in Taiwan have already begun to say that I conspired with me and deliberately delayed this matter in order to make huge profits. ”

"If the high-level officials of Commercial Taiwan had the face to believe such rumors, they would not have sent you to talk to me about buying copyrights. Besides, what if I did conspire with you? The reality is in front of us, that is, no matter how unwilling they are, no matter how reluctant they are, they still have to come to me! ”

When Lin Xi's domineering and arrogant words came out, Yu Zheng was stunned for more than three seconds, and then couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't realize it before, your kid's ability to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger is hard enough! Okay, I won't mess with you, about the copyright of the radio drama "Notes on Tomb Robbery", since I am here today on behalf of Commercial Television, I hope to get a positive answer from you. ”

Looking at Yu Zheng's stern expression, Lin Xi also put away his joking expression, stretched out a finger and said, "The price in my heart, at least this amount in an episode!" ”

"Ten thousand?" Yu Zheng was indeed ready to accept Lin Xishi's big mouth, but he couldn't help but cry out when he heard this offer.

Not too high, but too low!

An episode of the radio drama "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is about 10,000 words, and according to the price offered by Lin Xi, it is only the price of 1,000 words.

Ni Yu's "Wesley Series" was serialized in "Ming Pao" at a price of 500 words per 1,000 words, although "The Peerless Double Pride" only got 300 words per 1,000 words for various reasons, but in fact, even if these factors are put aside, the highest price is probably 500 or 600 per 1,000 words.

The price of 1,000 words is not low, but the situation of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is very special, looking at the Hong Kong literary scene, I can't find a second work of the same genre, there is no competition from similar works, and the price is no problem to double or triple it.

The high-level management of Commercial Taiwan also took this issue into account, so the highest price offered to Yu Zheng was 15,000 per episode, but he didn't expect Lin Xi's own asking price to be lower than this.

Didn't this kid realize that he was now a strange commodity, and the sky-high asking price was his patent?

With such doubts, Yu Zheng waited for Lin Xi's explanation.

"10,000 episodes are just to buy copyrights, my salary is calculated separately, and all the costs of radio drama recording have to be reimbursed by commercial stations, by the way, I'm very expensive!"

Yu Zheng rolled his eyes angrily from Lin Xi, thinking that this kid didn't know his current value, but he didn't expect that he had already dug this pit and waited for him to jump in.

The price of 15,000 per episode offered by Commercial Station is the price of a radio drama that has already been recorded, and Lin Xi only sells copyrights, and the cost of making zuò has to be paid by Commercial Television, and the recording cost of this episode alone is not less than 5,000, plus the price paid to Lin Xi for dubbing alone, this kid is not ordinary ruthless to Shangtai!

Yu Zheng was made lose his temper by Lin Xi, and said hatefully: "You really dare to make a request!" ”

Lin Xi rubbed his nose with his hand, and said with a smile: "Strange goods can live!" ”

Yu Zheng looked at Lin Xi's appearance with a little headache, and he was angry.

"If there are any other excessive requirements, let's put them forward together!"

"After a while, I will authorize the novel to be serialized in the newspaper, and I think I should tell you about this first, so as not to have any misunderstanding?"

"What?" Yu Zheng stood up from the sofa all of a sudden, and looked at Lin Xi with round eyes, "You put the novel in the newspaper and serialize it, who is going to listen to the radio!" ”

"Don't get excited, the progress of the novel serialization will not be faster than the radio drama, and the premiere right is still yours!"

Lin Xi's answer made Yu Zheng feel better, but she still felt that Shangtai had become a big wronged person this time.

"In fact, the competition between newspapers and radio is not as fierce as you think, people who listen to the radio do not necessarily like to read newspapers, people who love to read newspapers do not necessarily listen to the radio, even if the two overlap, I think the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, because listening and reading are two completely different experiences, listening to it once and feeling that it is not enjoyable, will find the newspaper to read again, and after reading it, he will have expectations for the following stories, and will want to listen to the radio, which is equivalent to promoting each other."

Lin Xi explained such a big pass, but Yu Zheng's expression became more and more strange when he looked at him.

"That's what you said to the people at the newspaper?"

"Almost!"

Seeing that Lin Xi did not deny it, Yu Zheng asked again: "I want to know how much the newspaper serialized is paid?" ”

"It's not very high!" Speaking of this issue, Lin Xi was somewhat embarrassed, "It's only a thousand words......

"Eight hundred words?!"

Yu Zheng really can't be calm, this is simply knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow, and he is blackmailing two at the same time.

"One last question!" Yu Zheng took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then asked, "I want to know which newspaper you sold the serial rights to?" ”

"Oriental Daily!"

Lin Xi's answer surprised Yu Zheng again.

"Why not Ming Pao, I heard that they are also interested in "Tomb Robbery Notes".

"There are more newspapers interested in "Tomb Robbery Notes", and of course I will sell it to whoever gives the most money!"

Lin Xi had a natural expression, but Yu Zheng became even more depressed after hearing this.

"Just because of the money?" Afraid that Lin Xi wouldn't understand the meaning of his question, Yu Zheng then added: "I mean, if a reporter asks you about this in the future, you will answer the other party like this?" ”

"In front of you, Sister Zheng, I only tell the truth, in fact, it's really because of money, but if someone asks, I will sue him, didn't "Ming Pao" reject "Peerless Double Pride" last time? This time, I also rejected "Ming Pao" once, so that everyone can even the case! That's good enough, right? ”

This time, Yu Zheng was completely speechless.
