Chapter 89: Bargaining! (Add)

After some tossing and turning, Zhong Ming finally found the producer of "Best Debater", named Luo Mingjie.

The reason why I tossed and turned for a while is because "Best Debater" is not a variety show produced by this barrage website itself, but only produced and broadcast exclusively. The show "Best Debater" is produced by Luo Mingjie's own company, Guangjie Media, and the two are in a cooperative relationship.

But after the first season of "Best Debater" was broadcast, the data was really poor, not only the website and sponsors were disappointed, but even Luo Mingjie himself was very disappointed, and even had the idea of not doing this kind of thing in the second season for a while.

Of course, according to the website, it seems that Luo Mingjie decided to continue to do the second season, but now the sponsors have not been found, and Zhong Ming has to find out the specific situation.

The website is not good to say too much, too detailed, probably because I am afraid that this show will be cold, Zhong Ming will not invest money, but Zhong Ming is quite happy, such a cool program, does it mean that I can cut the price?

Zhong Ming had a phone call with Luo Mingjie, and it happened that Luo Mingjie's Guangjie Media was also in Ming'an City, so he made a direct appointment to meet the next afternoon.

Before going to meet, Zhong Ming still had to call Director Xie to report that he wanted to talk to the producer of a variety show about buying naming rights.

Director Xie was probably resting at home, and was stunned for a moment when he heard what Zhong Ming said: "Variety show naming rights?" Seems like they're expensive, right? It seems like tens of millions casually? We can't afford it! ”

Zhong Ming explained: "It's okay, it's an unpopular debate show, called "Best Debater", I'm going to bargain and strive for two million to win." ”

Director Xie was a little crying and laughing: "Two million to buy naming rights? What kind of variety show does that have to be? Can it be done, don't let no one watch it then, our money will be wasted. ”

Zhong Ming said: "I'll talk about it first, and I don't necessarily buy it." I want to have a good talk with the producer and give him some advice on the project, as long as the popularity can be raised a little, we will not make money. Besides, let's just use this amount of money, and the effect of conventional promotion methods is not much better, so we need to develop our ideas. ”

Director Xie thought about it, and what Zhong Ming said seemed to make sense.

He is still in the follow-up role of the halo, and thinks that "Learning the Sea is Boundless" has a lot to do, so he naturally agrees with what Zhong Ming said.

"Then let's take a look, I don't have any good ideas about how to spend this publicity fund, if you can make sense, it's not impossible to invest in variety show advertisements."

"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll investigate it carefully, and there will be no problem."

Zhong Ming found that he still likes Lao Xie, a Buddhist supervisor, although he can't help much, but at least he won't hold back!

And Lao Xie has his advantage as a supervisor, he is not afraid of taking responsibility, and he trusts his employees more, and he knows that he is not capable enough, so he will not command blindly, which is much stronger than Liu Yuxin.

……

The next day, Zhong Ming took a flying car and came to the café that he had made an appointment with Luo Mingjie.

After all, this is official business and can be reimbursed, so you don't have to wait for the airbus.

The two met and shook hands, exchanged electronic business cards with bracelets, and then sat down, ordered a drink and started chatting.

Zhong Ming took a look at Luo Mingjie's electronic business card: founder, CEO, chief content officer of Guangjie Media, and producer of "Best Debater".

Luo Mingjie took a look at Zhong Ming's electronic business card: the world architect of the Guangyi Interactive Entertainment "Learning the Sea" project.

Luo Mingjie: "emmm......"

The gap between the two positions is a bit big......

Although Guangjie Media is a small company and Guangyi Interactive Entertainment is a large company, Zhong Ming is just the world architect of a project of Guangyi Interactive Entertainment, although the name of this position sounds good, but obviously Luo Mingjie is also very clear that this position is far lower than the supervisor......

And looking at Zhong Ming's age again, Luo Mingjie really doubts whether he has the power to use millions of naming fees.

But as the saying goes, it's coming.

It is impossible for Luo Mingjie to see a business card and leave the table, after all, no matter how young he is, he is also a person who may become the father of the gold owner.

The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and Zhong Ming went straight to the point: "I heard that the sponsor of the second season of "Best Debater" is not easy to find, right? How's it going? ”

Luo Mingjie nodded: "It's not easy to find." Let's be honest, we were actually in a hurry, because we were going to start recording this weekend, and there was a little problem. Originally, there were four bidders, but the one with the highest bid changed its mind temporarily, so it made us quite passive. ”

Zhong Ming was a little surprised, how can there be four bidders for this show?

That's really good luck, but fortunately, the one with the highest bid has changed his fortune, otherwise it would be nothing to do with me!

"That's right, our side also intends to name it, let me ask first, how much is the naming fee on our side? I only found out that the naming fee for the first season was 5 million, what about this season? ”

Luo Mingjie said: "This season is still the same as the previous season, it was originally able to shoot 5 million, but the sponsor temporarily changed the fortune, and the remaining ones were only willing to pay three or four million, so they are only struggling with this matter now." ”

"Uh......"

Zhong Ming was a little embarrassed, he originally thought that the data of the first season of "Best Debater" was so miserable, and the naming fee for the second season should have fallen a lot, but it didn't fall much......

The other three sponsors are willing to pay three or four million, and they only have three million on hand......

That's a bit of a worry.

And looking at Luo Mingjie's meaning, the four million are not satisfied, maybe he has considered the various costs of producing the program himself. After all, the main income of an online comprehensive comes from the naming fee, and there are other incomes, such as product placement, but the selling price is much lower, and if the naming fee is low, it is basically a sure loss of money.

But three or four million, Zhong Ming can't take it out......

Although there are 3 million publicity funds, you can't use them all to buy naming rights, right? Beginners also know that you can't put your eggs in one basket.

And the key is that Zhong Ming said that this matter is not completely counted, he just provided a plan, and it was Director Xie who made the final decision, and even Mr. Lu had to ask.

Therefore, Zhong Ming can invest in the network comprehensive, but he must not invest all of it in this, otherwise it will always be a problem to convince Director Xie and Lu when the time comes.

So what to do? Not enough money......

Zhong Ming thought for a while: "Otherwise, the four of them will sponsor together?" Can this option be considered? ”

Luo Mingjie was stunned: "Four sponsors together?" So how to name it, do you have four names? That's not going to work. ”

Zhong Ming explained: "It doesn't have to be a title, it can be called a 'super sponsor', and there are more advertisements in the show. ”

Luo Mingjie: "Then you will definitely not be able to auction such a high price, and now you can get four or five million, and it is because of the title that you can shoot so much." ”

"It's okay, then reduce the price, 2 million for each family, and if the four are added together, won't there be 8 million, which is more than the exclusive sponsorship money from the bidding." Zhong Ming said.

Luo Mingjie frowned and thought for a while: "It seems to be ...... It's not impossible. ”
