Chapter 371: Contract Signing
"Come on, if you don't slaughter us, return to your hometown!"
Deputy Director Qin and Lu Shanjia were complaining about Luo Yang in their hearts, but what Luo Yang said was high-sounding, although the two of them were very disapproving, they still only showed a smiling face.
"That is, they are all from their hometown, there is an old saying that the villagers see the villagers, the eyes are full of tears, and I hope that Mr. Luo will look at the face of the villagers and support the TV station in his hometown, I don't know what Mr. Luo's psychological price for "Fairy Sword" is"? Deputy Director Qin smiled reluctantly and said, although he knew that these words should be useless, but in case Luo Yang really relented for a while, it might not be possible to lower the price! Anyway, it's still the same sentence, you don't need to lose meat to say two good words, so what about saying two more words.
"Of course"!
Luo Yang nodded, saying that he would definitely take the knife lightly, and then continued: "The TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", after all, was created by Poplar with a huge amount of money, the company attaches great importance to this TV series, invited many stars to join, and invested heavily in creating special effects, so the cost alone is close to 100 million Chinese yuan, so although I really want to support the TV station in my hometown, but the price can only be slightly compromised, if TH Satellite TV wants to win the first round of exclusive broadcast rights of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", You only need to pay the price of 11 million Chinese dollars per episode, plus 10% of the advertising points to make the line"!
"Ugh"!
Luo Yang's words suddenly made Deputy Director Qin, Lu Shanjia and others cry out in surprise, 11 million episodes, and 10% of the advertising revenue share, even though it is the first round of exclusive broadcast rights, this price is too high, right? Does Luo Yang think that TH Satellite TV is a fool and can slaughter as much as he wants?
"Mr. Luo, this price is too high, 11 million episodes, and you still want 10% of the advertising revenue share! No one in China has ever dared to call out this price! I don't know if Mr. Luo has the confidence to call out such a sky-high price."
Deputy Director Qin was calmer than Lu Shanjia, waved his hand to stop the discussion and noise of his subordinates, and then asked Luo Yang with a somewhat ugly face, this price was really unexpected by Deputy Director Qin, Deputy Director Qin knew that if he wanted to win this drama, he should pay a high price, after all, who made the two speak carelessly, Luo Yang seized the loophole and grasped the initiative, so if Deputy Director Qin's psychological price is 8 million per episode, it is not unacceptable to increase to 11 million per episode, but Luo Yang is too ruthless, It is really unacceptable for Deputy Director Qin to have a 10% share of advertising revenue, and even if he wins it head-on, how can he go back and deal with the TV station?
"Is this price high"!
Luo Yang knowingly asked Deputy Director Qin and Lu Shanjia.
Deputy Director Qin and his entourage nodded hurriedly, joking, this price is not high, so what is high?
"I don't think the price is high", Luo Yang's face also became serious: "Director Qin, don't worry, don't think I'm asking the price all over the sky, before talking about the price, I just want to ask Director Qin a few questions, you just answer yes or no, these questions are finished, if Director Qin, you still think the price is high, then Director Qin, you just turn around and leave, do you think this will work"?
As soon as Luo Yang said this, Deputy Director Qin had no choice but to hold back his emotions, ready to listen to what Luo Yang said, after daring to call out such a high price again, can he still feel that this price is not high?
"Okay, I'll start asking, Director Qin, is this TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" produced by our Baiyang a TV series with the most big-name stars in China in recent years?
Deputy Director Qin nodded and did not raise any objections, because this is a fact, everyone knows it, as long as you are still cheeky, you can't deny it.
"Okay, the second question, is this TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" produced by our Poplar one of the TV series with relatively large investment in China in recent years, even if it can't dominate, it can be regarded as standing out from the crowd, right?
"The third question, may I ask Director Qin, whether our TV series has a high popularity base, at least don't worry about the ratings."
Deputy Director Qin finally understood what Luo Yang meant, but he despised Luo Yang in his heart, of course we know these three aspects, and we have conducted a detailed analysis, otherwise how could we be in a hurry to win the exclusive broadcast rights of this TV series! If we don't have these points, you beg us to show this TV series, we still have to think about it.
Looking at Deputy Director Qin's disapproving expression, Luo Yang didn't expect to be able to move Deputy Director Qin to accept his price just on these points, so he continued: "Director Qin, the three points just now, I think you also know better than me, I repeat these three points, just to prove a problem, our "Fairy Sword" is worth winning at a high price, if Director Qin still feels that he is at a loss, then I will continue to calculate an account for Director Qin, such as the broadcast rights of this TV series, we can't talk to TH Satellite TV, then we will sell the first round of broadcast rights, Presumably, at least many TV stations will be willing to win this qualification, right? We don't sell too much, even if an episode only sells for 2.5 million yuan, sell four or five TV stations, so how much can Poplar get? What's more, the price of 2.5 million, even if you only sell the first round of broadcast rights and sell it to several companies, you can't get this price! Director Qin, do you think what I said is right?"
"We accept the price of 11 million per episode, but if we want to take 10% of the advertising share, we really can't accept this price."
After listening to Luo Yang's words, Deputy Director Qin also admitted that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is worth 11 million episodes, but he resolutely refused to let go and agreed to accept 10% of the advertising revenue share, this is the bottom line, even if Deputy Director Qin wants to win this TV series again, he will not give such high conditions, so he showed a resolute expression, and he had the intention of not cooperating if he couldn't get along.
"Well, I also think the price is a little higher, so how about the lowest price of 10 million episodes, plus 10% of the advertising revenue"?
Luo Yang also knows that this price is indeed not low, and it is impossible to get TH Satellite TV to accept such a price, since there is no way to gain more, it is not impossible to reduce the price appropriately.
"10 million episodes, 10% advertising revenue share"?
Deputy Director Qin repeated Luo Yang's price, and then thought about whether it would be a loss to win TH Satellite TV at this price.
"This is the lowest price, if Director Qin still thinks the price is high, then we have to choose other satellite TV for cooperation"!
For this price, Luo Yang was also very firm, and after saying this, he left his seat and stood up, waiting for Deputy Director Qin's answer, as if Deputy Director Qin would leave immediately if he said no.
"Don't worry, Mr. Luo, let me think about it!"
Seeing that Luo Yang looked like he was leaving, Deputy Director Qin was also a little anxious, and hurriedly called Luo Yang, but he still didn't agree.
"Of course you can, but I hope Director Qin can make up his mind as soon as possible, I am very confident in our TV series, presumably Director Qin and I have the same idea, in this case, why doesn't Director Qin take a bet, not to mention that TH Satellite TV exclusively won the broadcast rights of this TV series, broadcast a big fire, if advertisers flock to it, we will only take 10% of it, TH Satellite TV still has 90%, TH Satellite TV is not a loss"!
Luo Yang's meaning is very clear, even if I take 10 percent, you still have 90 percent, if you can't talk about it, you don't want to earn this 90 percent.
"Okay, at this price"!
After being urged by Luo Yang for two sentences, Deputy Director Qin finally made up his mind and slapped the table to agree.
"That's good, when are we going to sign up"?
Seeing that Deputy Director Qin nodded in agreement, Luo Yang was also in a good mood, so he said with a smile.
"The sooner the better, Mr. Luo is really good at making money, and sure enough, the hero is a teenager."
Deputy Director Qin smiled bitterly and said to Luo Yang.
"There, there! Since this is the case, let's sign a contract tomorrow, I hope that Director Qin will win this TV series and try his best to arrange a good time slot, so that the more advertising revenue, the higher the tide, the two of us can earn more, right?" Luo Yang said with a smile.
"Of course, of course", now that it has been confirmed, Deputy Director Qin no longer looks like he has suffered a big loss, but nods with a smile, but despises Luo Yang's nonsense in his heart, such an expensive episode of a TV series is not broadcast in prime time, and our TH Satellite TV is not too much money to spend, so it can be wasted at will.
"So happy cooperation", Luo Yang smiled and stretched out his hand to Deputy Director Qin, and the two shook hands and laughed
The next day, when Luo Yang signed a contract on the exclusive broadcast rights with TH Satellite TV on behalf of Poplar Film and Television, Deputy Director Qin took the contract and looked at it carefully, with a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with it.
"Director Qin, happy cooperation, I don't know if you have any other requirements for our work"?
Luo Yang, who signed the contract and was about to get a large amount of money into the account, was also in a good mood, and with the attitude that the customer is God, Luo Yang gently asked Deputy Director Qin.
"There are indeed some questions I want to ask Mr. Luo", Deputy Director Qin nodded.
"Please say", Luo Yang made a gesture of please.
"I don't know where the post-production of "Sword and Fairy" has been? Is the editing work completed?", Deputy Director Qin asked the answer he wanted to know the most.
"It does take a little time, but it won't take long, after all, the editing work has entered the post-production stage, and we will complete this work and hand over the finished product to TH Satellite TV"!
"There can be a definite time!" Deputy Director Qin asked.
"It must be completed by Wednesday next week", Luo Yang gave a package ticket to Deputy Director Qin.
"Then it's decided", Deputy Director Qin calculated the time, today is Saturday, and there are about four days left until Wednesday next week, which is not a long time, after thinking about it, Deputy Director Qin said to Luo Yang again: "In addition, we TH Satellite TV hope that Mr. Luo can provide me with a promotional video, so that we can promote this TV series."
"This is as it should be, this can be completed soon, in this way, Deputy Director Qin, how about I have someone send it to you tomorrow"? Luo Yang nodded very happily, this is indeed a very simple thing for him.
"That's good, I don't have anything to do, and I'll be happy to cooperate next", Deputy Director Qin carefully packed the contract in his briefcase, and then shook hands with Luo Yang with a smile.
"Happy cooperation", Luo Yang smiled and nodded.
After saying goodbye to Deputy Director Qin and others, Luo Yang returned directly to the company, handed over the contract to Fang Lin, and then said with a smile: "Linlin, the contract has been signed, you keep an eye on the account, TH Satellite TV will call the down payment of "Fairy Sword" later, a total of twenty-five episodes, 10 million per episode, 250 million in cash"!
"10 million episodes, 250 million"! Fang Lin took the contract, glanced at it, and was suddenly a little surprised: "Great, the company's working capital in the past two days is a difficult time, and 250 million is a solution to the urgent need"!
"What is this? This is just the first payment, and there will be 10% of the advertising revenue after that, but this payment will not be available until after the end of this TV series", Luo Yang said with some pride.
"Really"! Fang Lin was a little stunned, TH Satellite TV wanted to buy the broadcast rights of "Fairy Sword" Fang Lin was very clear, but Fang Lin was not very clear about the specific content of the negotiation between the two parties, but he didn't expect that the 250 million million was only a part of it.
"Of course, otherwise you think that 250 million will want to buy the exclusive broadcast rights of "Fairy Sword"? Isn't it too cheap TH TV"! Luo Yang said very domineeringly.
"Luo Yang, you are amazing", Fang Lin, the Minister of Finance, is also very sad, although Poplar Film and Television makes money quickly, but it spends money faster, often just has sufficient cash flow, which can make Fang Lin breathe a sigh of relief, and it is immediately paid out for various reasons, and such a large company is not so easy to maintain, not to mention anything else, the salary expenditure of the staff every day alone is a lot of money, so that Fang Lin often demolishes the east wall and makes up the west wall in order to maintain the normal operation of the company, otherwise with Fang Lin's character, I wouldn't be so excited about the income of 250 million yuan, I was really suffocated by money.
"I don't know how much the 10% advertising share is", Fang Lin hugged Luo Yang for a long time, and then began to calculate how much more he could get.
"It will definitely not be less than 100 million, I am very confident", Luo Yang smiled.
"The TV series is too profitable, Luo Yang simply doesn't make a movie, just make a TV series, making a movie is too expensive", Fang Lin was happy, and felt that making a TV series was much more cost-effective than a movie, the investment in "Fairy Sword" was less than 100 million, and it could earn more than 300 million in cash, and Luo Yang's new film "Shijie Doomsday" alone has now exceeded 400 million, and I don't know how much it can be recovered, it is not cost-effective.
"Ahem", I didn't expect Fang Lin to suddenly say this, Luo Yang was almost choked, and was about to speak, when a familiar voice came from the door: "Sister Linlin, why are you so happy, what are you happy about?" Indeed, Tang Xian came to the door of Fang Lin's office with a folder in his hand.
"Well, it's really a good thing, "Fairy Sword" has made money, you can take a look at this contract", Fang Lin happily raised this contract and asked Tang Xian to come and see it.
Seeing that the two wives were studying this contract, Luo Yang took the opportunity to leave the office and drove to Li Hai's workplace, Luo Yang had promised to hand over the promotional video of "Fairy Sword" to TH Satellite TV tomorrow, so he naturally needed to hurry up.
Came to the location of the post-editing work of "Sword and Fairy", because the editing work in the past two days was about to end, everyone was relaxed, not as busy as a few days ago, and after glancing at the people who were working, Luo Yang directly found Li Hai.
"Mr. Luo, you're here"! When Lehi heard Luo Yang's voice, he hurriedly stood up and greeted Luo Yang.
"Well, it's here", Luo Yang nodded, there was no ink, and said directly: "Li Hai, you find a few people, get a promotional video of "Fairy Sword", and find someone to send it to TH Satellite TV tomorrow, I have promised them about this matter, hurry up and complete it."
"No problem, we already have a draft of the promotional film in our hearts, and we can do it at any time, but Mr. Luo, there is another problem, that is, the theme song and interlude of "Fairy Sword" have not been determined, I don't know if Mr. Luo can help write two songs"!
Knowing that he was always a well-known creative genius in the music industry, Lehi naturally would not go to others to compose theme songs and interludes.
"You hit me with the idea, you guys are really it", Luo Yang was a little speechless.
"Those who can work harder, we can't trust other musicians with Mr. Luo", Li Hai smiled and slapped a sycophant.
"Okay, but the theme song doesn't need to be created separately, there is a song in my last album called "Kill the Wolf", which can be used as the theme song of "Fairy Sword", you can also edit this song into the promotional video, it won't be too monotonous with a music promotional video, as for the interlude, I'll deal with these things then", Luo Yang nodded and agreed to this matter, and this matter is really nothing to Luo Yang, just use the song of "Fairy Sword One" on the earth, "It's Been Quiet", " June Rain", "Sigh of Joy" and other songs are of very good quality, and they don't need to be replaced, Luo Yang only needs to spend some points to redeem these songs from the system, but Luo Yang is not ready to go out in person, Luo Yang is ready to give this opportunity to a few of his good friends Lin Yun, Chen Feier and Sun Hao to sing.
Back to Baiyang, Luo Yang, who has nothing to do, is ready to implement this matter, after all, there is not much time left before handing over the finished product to TH Satellite TV, and he can't afford to delay, and Luo Yang also wants to deal with this side of the matter as soon as possible, so that he can devote his energy to the post-production of "The End of Shijie".
The system has been silent for a long time recently, and Luo Yang has not entered the system, this is the first time he has entered the system since the filming of "Shijie Doomsday", Luo Yang was about to enter the song exchange area directly, but he accidentally found that the system was flashing with golden light, which is a sign of completing an achievement and waiting to receive points.
When did you complete your achievement? Luo Yang was a little stunned, and he really didn't notice it for a while, Luo Yang checked it carefully, but found that the achievement he had completed was that the sales of his new album "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" this year exceeded 10 million.
When was this achievement completed?
ps: Tomorrow the system is revised, you can see the new system, there are a lot of changes, please look forward to it, you can also predict what features there are.
