January, April, July, and October are the time for Neon to collectively release a new anime. It is also the time when those TV stations and video sites collectively send them money.

At these times of the year, or a little further afront, those TV stations and video sites will be like sharks that have found the smell of blood, or hunting dogs that have seen rabbits, waving checks and rushing to animation production companies and production committees, frantically snapping up the premiere rights of those high-quality animations to increase the popularity of TV stations and websites.

SHICHEN'S BILIBILI IS NATURALLY ONE OF THEM.

As early as the beginning of June, the negotiations on the right to broadcast the new network in July began under the organization of the general manager of the 3000 courtyard family--for them,This kind of thing that started two years ago is simply familiar.,And Shi Chen is not the kind of person who is stingy.,It's also a free opening for them in terms of funds-of course,It's not too much.,Otherwise,Otherwise,There will be a suspicion of arrogant nouveau riche and stupid bosses.。

However, it is not possible to talk.

I can't talk to a production committee.

Obviously, the last "Iron Necromancer" was a good talk, but when it comes to this "Stardust Witch Merlulu" - or rather, this season, something went wrong.

Although at the end of the day, it is a matter of money. But it was Shi Chen's side that triggered the fuse.

Since Bilibili is a video sharing site where members can upload videos on their own, in many cases, some UP owners will always carry some unauthorized animations to the ordinary area for their own coins and fans, and the administrator is not easy to delete immediately - in this case, it will cause a significant reduction in the number of visits to the website. As a result, they can only negotiate while pirating broadcasts, pretending to be deaf and dumb to delay time, and wait until the copyright issue is negotiated, and then let the management ape, who has the iron fist of the river crab, take action. But because it's not new.,So it didn't cause much of a problem.。

But this time, it's different.

Because of the high ratings of the last season of the anime, the other party wanted to increase the price in this season. But station B has invested a lot of money in the first few new episodes.,So,Ahem,It's okay to maintain the original price.,It's okay to go up a little.,But if you increase a considerable part.,It's a little difficult.。

That's where negotiators come in.

To be honest, both sides are veterans, and they are also very clear about the rules of negotiation - it is nothing more than that you ask for a sky-high price, and I will pay back the money on the ground, grinding and grinding, and after pulling the bottom line of both sides to a similar common ground, this matter will be settled.

But because he is a veteran, when talking this time, both sides insisted on their bottom line: Station B hopes to give you a little discount at most according to the previous price - help you advertise for free, and then raise the price a little, and it's almost the same.

And the production committee,But I hope to be able to raise the price significantly-after all, our ratings from the last season are there.,The surrounding Shenma is selling very quickly.,If you recognize the second in the new season this season.,The other ones dare to admit the third at most.。 And,If I hand over the network broadcast rights to you,,It will also have a great impact on the sales of our DVDs.,Not to mention the fact that you used to pirate our animation.,Balabala said a lot of miscellaneous reasons.,zuihou,Even said such a ridiculous plan:

If you're not willing to raise the price, then let's play it together and give us some of the revenue proportionally - isn't that too much?

Joke! The new broadcast is one of the main benefits of station B.,You actually want to get a piece of the pie.,This hand,It's inevitable that it's too long!

For this kind of behavior of trying to get into his own one-third of one-acre land, the general manager surnamed Sanqianyuan naturally would not agree to it -- if there is one, there will be two, and this opening must not be opened!

Negotiations have thus reached a stalemate.

Seeing that the premiere date of the new episode is getting closer and closer.,This zuihou project can't be taken yet.,He had to report the matter to Shi Chen.,See what kind of attitude this big boss has-If you want to buy it, continue to add money.,If you don't buy it.,Shouldn't we look for something else? After all, you can't hang yourself from this crooked-necked tree.

And this day was June 27, the day after Tokitomi returned from Akihabara.

Hearing this news, Shi Chen's originally secretly happy mood was covered with a dark cloud.

"Can't you take it at all?"

Sitting on the wooden chair that didn't even have a cushion, Shi Chen asked, with a look of joy and anger on his face.

In his office, there were no luxurious furniture, no soft sofas, not even air conditioning, not to mention wine and food, except for some necessary equipment, everything else was iron or wood - as he always gave people: cold and hard, like steel.

"Yes, the other party's request is indeed too much, but it also has to do with the fact that we invested most of our money in other anime in the early stage - if I really want to say it, this matter, my poor consideration is also one of the reasons."

Sitting in front of him, a middle-aged man named Sanqian Yuya, conscientiously and responsibly explained the reasons for the failure of this mission, whether it was his own or the other party's.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Shi Chen comforted the other party in a tone that had not changed for ten thousand years, and then asked, "How much liquidity do we have at present?" ”

"The liquidity is about 1 billion or so (about 60 million soft sister coins)-After all, I just bought the broadcast rights of a few new animations.,But,Do you really want to agree to their price increase request?"

"No, I just think that as a video site, it doesn't have a strong anime that belongs to us, and it's not very good for us to run it."

"Your brain is spinning so fast that I can't keep up.

"You mean," the general manager asked tentatively.

"I mean, we can invest in it and make an anime."

For the young chairman's whimsical and antelope-hung way of thinking, the general manager deeply felt that it was difficult to communicate between the two.

"Any questions?" Looking at the mouth on the other side that couldn't be closed for a long time, Shi Chen had no pressure.

"Well, if you make anime independently, isn't it too risky?" Considering the words, the general manager vaguely expressed his opinion - that kind of self-produced and self-sold work, it seems that it is not very safe, in case the money is trapped in it and you can't get out cough cough, so, do you want to take back your life?

"Have you forgotten my other identity?" Shi Chen reminded him.

How to forget this stubble! The general manager secretly regretted in his heart - before he became a businessman, the chairman was also a qualified animator and light novelist, and even now he has not let go of those professions - no, not so much not so much, but he has always focused on those two - the videos in the video section and the novels in the bookstore are proof.

"However, at this time, is it really okay? Even if production starts now, it will be at least the end of August when it actually airs, and before then, "Isn't it nice to occupy so much money?"

"Well, that's a problem indeed." Shi Chen nodded quietly, "Otherwise, I will make an animation in my own name, and then the company will come forward to buy it, what do you think?" ”

"No, no, no, since you think it's good, then you must be able to!" The general manager of the 3000 Yuan was busy explaining - if Shi Chen's sentence is true, it can be said to be a heart-wrenching sentence - you have to oppose a decision I make, in the end are you the chairman or I am the chairman?! Even think a little deeper—are you going to get rid of you?

"Don't worry, you can't go wrong this time." The truth of a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, Shi Chen still understands "As long as this anime is broadcast, no matter what other anime, it will be suppressed." Under its publicity, Station B will definitely welcome many new members - so the investment in funds is definitely worth the money. ”

He is not talking in vain, I think that in his previous life, when FZ's domineering eight-country subtitles were broadcast worldwide, the ratings instantly exceeded 10 million as soon as the broadcast started, and the record of 100 million was completed in three days. And in the TV broadcast, even if it is placed at midnight, it has a rating of 20%, which is no worse than those migrant workers!

With such an achievement there, how can you make Shi Chen not full of confidence!

"Then do as you say! Be prepared, though—I'd like you to find a few partners to share the cost of this production. "Now that the boss has decided, then, as a subordinate, I can only try my best to help the boss reduce the risk of this jihua.

"Your opinion, I'll take it into account."

But it's just a matter of thinking - if you add those bakas, who knows what outlandish opinions they will make! So, it's better to go it alone!
