Chapter 23 Gold Contracts

Wang Xu made two phone calls but no one answered, and the third call was finally answered.

"Hey, hello, I'm Gu Yongqiang, who are you?"

Thank God for finally getting through, Wang Xu hurriedly said: "Hello Mr. Gu, I am Wang Dazhu, the author of "The Dormitory on the Tip of the Tongue", three weeks ago, you were still awarding me an award at Shonan University, do you remember?"

Gu Yongqiang was impressed, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be classmate Wang Dazhui, of course I remember, do you have something to do with me?"

Wang Xu tried his best to make his tone softer and more polite: "That's the case, I have a new work, it's in your mailbox, I want you to take a look, if you can give some professional guidance, then thank you so much!"

Gu Yongqiang understood, and said with a smile: "Okay, but I'm in the car now, and I'll take a look when I return to the company."

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, I know you're busy, I won't bother, goodbye!"

On the other end of the phone, Gu Yongqiang was indeed in the car, but he was not going back to the company or to the airport, he was just casually saying something on the phone, but after hanging up the phone, the image of Wang Dazhui became a little clearer in his mind.

"This is an interesting young man, and I should take a look at his work."

Wu Yongqiang thought so in his heart, so he took out his ipad and opened the information that Wang Xu gave him in the mailbox.

"My name is Wang Dazhui and I am an actor...... My left fist was as hot as flames, and my right fist was as cold as frost...... I've got a big fork, what the hell, I didn't even do special effects, and it's too perfunctory to type directly, right? "

"Mr. Gu, what video are you watching, it's quite funny."

At this time, the two young assistants sitting in the back seat of the car, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li, heard the voice in the video and curiously lay behind Gu Yongqiang to watch.

Xiao Zhang recognized Wang Da Hammer at a glance and said in surprise: "Wow, isn't this the Wang Da Hammer in the dormitory on the tip of the tongue?"

"It's really that Wang Sledgehammer!"

The two young people had watched "The Dormitory on the Tip of the Tongue" and recognized it as Wang Da Hammer, and soon the two of them were amused to laugh.

"Hahaha, oops, it's really funny!"

"Why is it so funny, ah hey, my stomach hurts from laughing!"

Gu Yongqiang looked at his two assistants being amused and laughed, and asked, "This is Wang Dazhui's new work, how about you two talk about it?"

Xiao Zhang spoke first: "Wang Da Hammer is so talented, this work is the funniest and most creative work I have seen in the past few years." Xiaoli, you say yes! ”

Xiaoli nodded and said: "Well, this work is really good, I am in love with Hammerhammer now, and he will be my idol in the future." By the way, Brother Zhang, didn't you add his micro-blog, quickly give me the micro-blog number, I want to add a hammer to the micro-blog. ”

While talking, the two young people took out their mobile phones and added Wei*Bo, Gu Yongqiang saw that the two assistants liked Wang Dazhui's works so much, and he sent a text message to Wang Dazhui: "Wang Dazhui, do you have time now, add my QQ (******) to talk about your works." "

Wang Dazhui quickly replied to the text message: "If you have time, my partner and I are now in Yanjing, if Mr. Gu, you have time, I hope to meet and talk."

Gu Yongqiang thought for a while, and came back with a text message: "It's great that you are in Yanjing, I am waiting for you in the company, you can come over immediately."

After finishing the text message, Gu Yongqiang asked the driver to turn around and go back to the company, postponing the business trip to Hangzhou.

At the same time, Wang Xu shouted excitedly: "Good news for beasts, Gu Yongqiang, CEO of Youdou.com, is interested in our work and wants us to go to his company immediately."

The beast had just come out of the bathroom and was blindfolded by this surprise: "Sledgehammer, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true, I don't believe you read the text message."

"Oops, great, great, sledgehammer, you're so good, I love you to death, come and kiss it!"

"Haha, you finally said that your true love is me, in fact, I love you too, come and kiss the little star!"

"Hammer, you are gentle, people are still yellow flower girls!"

"I'll go, you won!"

"Ahaha, do you still want to escape at this time?"

"Dead, get out of the way!"

An hour later, Wang Xu and the beast arrived at Youdou.com, and the two sides met in a reception room, in addition to CEO Gu Yongqiang, there was also an editor-in-chief Luo Li, and an original video editor Chen Xin.

Youdou showed a very sincere attitude, but Gu Yongqiang gave them a problem at the beginning, and he threw out a plan to buy out the works of the two at a price of 3o yuan per episode.

The beast didn't even think about it and was about to agree, but was stopped by Wang Xu's kick, and for a moment Wang Xu was also moved, they filmed three episodes with a total cost of about 190,000, and each episode was only 60,000, and 3o million increased fivefold, this is definitely a very sincere price, you must know that an episode of the TV series is only about 8o yuan, and an episode of "Never Expected" is only 5-1o minutes.

Gu Yongqiang's problem really made it difficult for Wang Xu to choose, if he was still like a few days ago, if he didn't understand the doorway of the original video industry on the Internet, he might agree without hesitation like calling a beast.

Now he is not a rookie who doesn't know anything, the way to make money from an online video generally has advertising shares, fan sponsorship, monthly income, and invisible income copyright.

Wang Xu calculated that if "Never Expected" can reach the results of the earth's time and space, with a total of 700 million on-demand times, then there will be one or two million revenues from advertising alone, not to mention that he also knows that the biggest value of a work with hundreds of millions of clicks is actually its copyright.

So Wang Xu refused to buy out without hesitation, he said euphemistically: "Mr. Gu, your bid is very sincere, I thank you for being able to watch it, but I still have to refuse after thinking about it, because I am very confident in my work, so please allow me to sell myself and boast, I think the average number of on-demand episodes of "Never Expected" can reach 10 million times, and the total number of clicks in the first season can reach hundreds of millions. ”

Wang Xu's self-confidence made Gu Yongqiang and his two subordinates look at each other in surprise, and editor Chen Xin couldn't help but speak: "A single episode is on demand tens of millions of times, only the most popular TV series and comic works can have this kind of clicks, "Never Expected" Weekly dramas and variety shows are a bit the same, in my experience, the popular variety show "Happy Camp", "Everyday Upward" dare not say that a single episode is on average tens of millions of times. ”

After a pause, Editor Chen said: "I also think that "Never Expected" is a good work, but to be honest, like Sledgehammer, you said that a single episode is on demand for tens of millions, and the total number of hits exceeds 100 million, I have reservations, I think Sledgehammer you should think about it again." ”

Wang Xu smiled and didn't speak, and then Gu Yuanqiang spoke: "It's a good thing for young people to have self-confidence, let's put this plan on hold for the time being, let's talk about the contract." ”

The next negotiation was very smooth, both sides showed sincerity, and finally signed a gold-level contract, the same profit sharing as the platinum contract, sharing advertising revenue 4o%, fan sponsorship 7o%, the difference is that Youdou will do 20 days of advertising for "Never Expected" in the most eye-catching position of the website page, to ensure that every netizen who clicks on Youdou can see it, in addition, Youdou also has a series of supporting soft advertisements, such as a special homepage for "Wan Wan", in the Youdou client, Mobile games and other platforms deliver advertisements for "Wan Wan" and so on.

This series of advertisements is usually only a treatment that well-known directors can enjoy, Wang Xu and the beast are naturally extremely satisfied, and the two sides agreed that on May 8, 2o1o, at 2 pm on Saturday, "Never Expected" was officially released on the TV drama channel of Youdou.com.
