Negotiations with domestic video websites and TV stations have reached an impasse, but on the other hand, the advertising investment hosted by Su Fei has achieved excellent results.

"We adopted the form of bidding for this advertisement, a total of 25 large enterprises participated, and we only selected the 5 with the highest bids to become our sponsors, with prices of 5.61 million, 5.57 million, 5.3 million, 5.08 million and 5.05 million respectively, totaling 26.61 million yuan." When reporting to Su Zhi, Concubine Su's voice trembled a little.

"What!" Su Shi and Ye Tianlong were both exclaiming, this price completely exceeded their expectations, they originally thought that it was already great to be able to sell 5 million positions, but they didn't think that this would be far beyond this number.

"I didn't expect these sponsors to be so crazy." Concubine Su said excitedly, but she didn't forget to remind: "However, these sponsors have also put forward their requirements, each ad must stay for at least three seconds, and ensure that all of them are broadcast on genuine authorized video websites, worldwide, otherwise they will regret it." ”

"Three seconds per ad is no problem at all, with 6 seconds added to the intro and 9 seconds added to the outro, which will not affect the viewing experience at all. As for the last requirement, it is not difficult, as long as we make it clear when we sign the contract with the video site. It's not possible on the TV side, they usually cut off the opening and closing credits in order to save time, let alone sponsors' advertisements. Ye Tianlong analyzed.

"It should be okay if the TV station doesn't broadcast it, but I will communicate with them clearly to avoid misunderstandings." Concubine Su said.

"26.61 million ...... I didn't expect these advertisers to be so happy, but it was the video sites that we valued were afraid of it. Sue was most amazed and felt incredible.

"In fact, we ourselves underestimated the popularity of "God of War", advertisers have a lot of money, and their eyes are often the most accurate, but I am not good enough." Ye Tianlong began to reflect on himself.

"Don't think about it too much, while there is still some time today, try to draw up a contract with the sponsor, and we will be much bolder when the money is in hand!" Sue is most comforting.

That night, Finalend signed a mutually agreeable contract with five sponsors, and half of the total 13.3 million money was also put into Final's financial account, and the other half was paid after the film aired.

"Mr. Su, the sponsors hope that we will be able to hold a press conference tomorrow so that it can bring them a good advertising effect. But I think it's also good for us, keeping the animation hot and a reminder to those video sites. Ye Tianlong came to ask Su for instructions.

"Okay, just do as you say." Su stretched his waist, and then instructed Ye Tianlong: "Let everyone stop what they are doing, tidy up tomorrow, and go to the hotel next door for a good meal now." ”

Even if he picks the door again, he must be generous today, everyone is really tired enough, not to mention that the company has such a big income today, and it should be celebrated.

"Okay, Mr. Su." Ye Tianlong also believes that employees should be given some rewards.

Hearing the cheers outside, Su Ji also felt happy, it seems that making money is no longer so important, the important thing is that after making money, everyone around him can live a happier life.

Ye Tianlong quickly went and returned, and said without waiting for Su Shi to speak: "The people from Netflix in the United States are here!" ”

"What Netflix?" Su was most confused, he had never heard of it at all, and it was not a cheating company.

“…… They are the only paid site among the top 10 video sites in the world, and they are also the largest DVD online rental company, with a market value of more than $30 billion. Ye Tianlong hurriedly explained, seeing that Su didn't understand the most, he continued: "The copyright awareness in the United States is better than ours, listening to music, watching movies mostly need to pay, or buy genuine DVDs, and although Netflix is not so high in the global video website, not even as good as our Youku, but their sales are the best in the United States, with a strong sense of authenticity, and they are a very good company." ”

"I see." Su was the most conscious, but he asked strangely: "It's so late, they just came, doesn't it say that Americans attach great importance to rest time?" ”

"They're more focused on money." Ye Tianlong shrugged.

"I value money too, so invite them in! Oh, by the way, just leave Concubine Su behind, and the others go to eat as planned, and now everyone hasn't even eaten dinner, so they can't be hungry. "Su commanded the most.

"Okay, Mr. Su." Ye Tianlong withdrew when he heard this, and when he came to the office again, he was followed by several American men.

"This is our boss, Mr. Su Zhi, this is Netflix's purchasing manager, Smith." Ye Tianlong pointed to the blonde ghost guy in front of him and introduced Su Shi.

"Oh! Mr. Su is younger than we thought. Hello, I'm Smith. Smith looked very surprised, and spoke Chinese that was not very smooth, which sounded a little awkward, but fortunately he could barely understand it.

"Hello, Mr. Smith, welcome to the final end. Have a seat. Su shook hands with him politely, and then invited them to sit at the conference table next to him.

However, when he staggered by Ye Tianlong, he didn't forget to ask in a low voice: "Have you verified their identities?" ”

Now "God of War" is a piece of fat, and everyone wants to come over and take a bite, but they can't capsize in the gutter.

"Mr. Su, please rest assured." Ye Tianlong responded.

Su was relieved at this time, and then came to sit down opposite Smith, and asked bluntly: "Mr. Smith, can you tell me what you mean?" ”

"Of course, we are very interested in God of War. But before we start talking, I think it's necessary for us to take a look at this popular Chinese animation all over the world, Mr. Su won't mind, right? Smith asked.

"Yes, but I want Mr. Smith to keep it a secret." Su got up and walked towards the desk, and the USB flash drive was locked in his safe.

"Of course, we at Netflix have always had good work ethic." Smith almost patted his chest in reassurance.

Two hours later.

"Even-bought karma!"

"Oh my God! I can't believe that the Chinese can actually make such a work! Smith was already speechless, and when he said it, he felt that this was a little inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I don't have malicious intentions, but I can't believe it." ”

Su shrugged his shoulders the most, in fact, in the bones of this ghost, the Chinese are inferior. However, no one can be blamed for this, China does have a lot of unsatisfactory aspects, especially in the fields of science and technology and computers.

"Mr. Su, we are here in good faith, and Netflix plans to spend $10 million to buy the exclusive broadcast rights of this anime film in Europe and the United States, as well as the rights to the DVD disc. We only need the authorization in Europe and the United States, and your company can continue to sell in other places. "Smith was very straightforward and offered a price without any foreplay.

10 million US dollars, more than 60 million yuan...... That's a lot of money.

"Mr. Smith, you're not kidding me, are you? This price is not even as good as the advertising fee we receive, but you want the exclusive broadcast rights in the whole of Europe and the United States? Do you want to send you DVD copyright? It's a bit of a joke. Sue looked most angry.

Ye Tianlong was a little stunned, but he didn't speak. A $10 million buyout sounds like a lot, and there are not many movies in the history of Chinese cinema that can sell at this price in Europe and the United States. And this is different from the box office, this is pure income, which is equivalent to a box office profit of 100 million yuan.

However, compared with Hollywood blockbusters, this price is too little, as far as he knows, it is half a year after coming from the film line, and Netflix also needs this price to buy out the network broadcast copyright, Ye Tianlong completely agrees with the boss's dissatisfaction.

"No, Mr. Su, you have to understand one thing. Although the copyright in the United States is strict, Chinese movies are also pirated on YouTube, and they will not give you a penny of copyright fees. We at Netflix respect the copyright and are optimistic about this movie, so we flew in and bought it with a lot of money, I hope you can understand the price. Smith shook his head.

"What is YouTube?" Su asked Ye Tianlong in the lowest voice, he hadn't even heard of these English, God.

"The world's largest video website, what he said is also true, our Chinese movies can't get a penny of YouTube's copyright fees at all, but there are many Chinese movies above." Ye Tianlong replied in a low voice.

"So, this Netflix company has enough conscience?" Sue asked.

"This price is indeed a cabbage price for them, but I have to admit that Netflix has a good conscience." Ye Tianlong said truthfully, with some helplessness.

That's right, Chinese film and television companies can indeed sue these websites, but nine times out of ten they will win, but the compensation they can get is not enough to fight the cost of the lawsuit, because these resources are rarely seen, and they are uploaded by individuals, not the websites themselves, and the responsibility is reduced a lot.

"Aggrieved!" Su said in a muffled voice.
