Chapter 088. Five tens of billions
The first two episodes of "Madoka Magical Girl" have already been produced, and the time is also in late August.
At this time,The broadcast rights of the October animation have been basically negotiated,Various video websites have also started the advance publicity of the October animation,Announce some of the animations that have been determined to buy the broadcast rights。
Tomato Video Network naturally has the most animations,At present, there are ten of the forty-two October animations that have been determined.,Including self-produced "Wolf and Cat" and other highly anticipated new animations,There are twenty-three non-exclusive animations,Basically, in addition to the self-made animations of other video sites,Tomato, the work of independent companies, has been purchased。
Xuanmo Media's Ink Video Network also has three exclusive animations and fifteen non-exclusive animations, and Jingping's Ai Craft Video Network has two exclusive and seventeen non-exclusive animations, including the highly acclaimed original animation sequel "My Hero Family 2".
Others, such as Chengkong Video Network, Snow Drift Video Network, Polar Shadow Video Network, etc., have at least ten new animations broadcast, and most of the animation lovers are looking at the lists announced by each one, and selectively opening members of major video websites.
However, some sharp-eyed people soon discovered that the new work of Phantom Electric "Madoka Magical Girl" was not on the playlist of the video website.
Qan immediately asked: "How do you evaluate "Madoka Magical Girl" has not been purchased by any video site".
[Erlang]: ...... The budget for video sites to buy animation every quarter is limited,According to my understanding,The price of a twelve-episode animation is about six or seven million,This is the price of multi-platform broadcasting,A single platform may have a premium of up to double according to quality,Tomato video network with deep pockets is not to mention,Other websites want to purchase animation,It is inevitable to have a choice。
...... And the phantom animation from "Soul Eater: Zero" to "Unnatural Death", each animation has aroused extremely high popularity, and even won the nomination of Animation of the Year.
...... Just imagine, if you are such a director, your next original animation that you are confident will definitely sell for a high price, and I estimate that the price given by Phantom may be around fifteen million, which is a price that most websites cannot afford.
...... Xu Rui is still too conceited, he thought that he could grasp the initiative by relying on popularity, he had already swelled, but he didn't expect that it was himself who really got rid of it.
...... To be honest, I'm still looking forward to Xu Rui's "Madoka Magical Girl", but unfortunately I don't know when I'll be able to see this animation.
...... I still have a lot of new insights about October animation, follow my personal public account to get the latest animation information.
This liked answer is sprinkled with thousands of words, many of which seem to be rational and objective and neutral on the surface, but in fact, they are secretly rubbing Xu Rui, and many of the people who replied below already believe that the main reason why "Madoka Magical Girl" was not bought by the video site was that the price was too high, which is reasonable.
After all, Xu Rui won't deal with other video sites in the future, he won't rashly say anything about the combination of several platforms to lower the price, even if he says it, no one will believe it, there will be websites that don't buy works that may be popular, but suppress phantom electricity?
Xu Rui felt the pressure of monopolizing large platforms for individual creators, Phantom Electric is still a company that has already had two well-received animations, if it is a creative team that is generally not well-known, there is no way to take these platforms.
At this time, Xu Rui received a call from Tomato Video Network.
The caller's name is Hu Mi, he is a staff member of the strategic development department of Tomato Video Network, and after a few simple greetings, Hu Mi explained his intention.
"Mr. Xu Rui, I'll just say it bluntly, Tomato Video Network is interested in investing in Phantom Animation, our goal is to have 35% to 45% of Phantom Electric's shares, and we will not interfere with the management and production of Phantom TV while providing financing."
Hearing the other party's words, Xu Rui couldn't help but smile.
Although it sounds good, 35 to 40 percent of the shares are basically equivalent to the acquisition signal, once Xu Rui agrees, after at most one animation, Tomato Video Network will start to continue the acquisition, and finally take the entire company from Xu Rui's hands.
Although he verbally promised not to interfere with the management and production of Phantom Electric, Xu Rui knew that such a promise generally meant a gambling agreement, that is to say, if Xu Rui's subsequent animation failed, then Phantom Electricity would need to be censored by Tomato Video Network, and it would soon be hollowed out, and even if it succeeded, most of the profits would flow into Tomato's pocket and make wedding dresses for others.
Not to mention, there are 10,000 ways for big websites like Tomato Video Network to make the animation of Phantom Electric not sell so well.
These were not Xu Rui's conjectures, he had investigated the company that had been acquired before, and learned about Tomato's methods through some contacts of old Phantom Electric employees, so he had no idea of selling the company from the beginning.
Hu Mi heard Xu Rui's slight laughter on the other end of the phone, and he didn't know the other party, he thought that Xu Rui's happiness had blossomed, and he continued.
"If you are interested, Mr. Xu Rui, we will bring a special evaluation team to conduct a professional investigation and review, and I am just here to do a preliminary communication this time."
Xu Rui heard the other party's words, thought about it, and then spoke.
"Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome, I can transfer the full equity of Phantom Animation to Tomato Animation."
"Huh?"
Hu Mi was stunned, the leader told him that Xu Rui was probably a hard nut to crack, and he was also mentally prepared, Hu Mi had participated in the acquisition of two animation companies, and the process was not easy, but he didn't expect Xu Rui to be so decisive.
"Then, Mr. Xu Rui, what is your expected offer, I can discuss it with the board of directors."
Humi immediately answered.
"Five tens of billions, if you give five tens of billions, the phantom animation will be Tomato Video Network in the future."
Xu Rui glanced at the computer screen and said.
"Ah???h
Hu Mi was frightened by Xu Rui's words, he was a little dazed, and hung up the phone after only saying a few words to Xu Rui to discuss with the leader.
He hadn't recovered from Xu Rui's 50 billion impact, and after taking a sip of tea, he let out a long sigh, knowing that Xu Rui probably didn't want to cooperate with tomatoes at all, so he would offer this price.
"But why 50 billion?"
Puzzled, Hu Mi stood up and stretched, and then suddenly saw the news broadcast in the previous newspaper hanging on the wall of the company, framed with a photo.
"The market value of Tomato Video Network exceeds 50 billion, driving the vigorous development of Ningjiang's animation industry".
