Chapter 540: Gains and Losses (Ask for Subscription!) )
Facts have proved that Ren Daqi and Wang Fulin's worries were in vain.
On the afternoon of the next day, Xuluo had just returned from riding a horse around the Three Kingdoms City, and a staff member here said that Kojima Mori was waiting for him.
Seeing the young man, Kojima Mori Shigeru was anxious for a while, "Mr. Xu, have you agreed to cooperate with TV Asahi?" ”
Xuluo knows that what Kojima Morishige is actually worried about is not that the copyright of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was bought by Asahi TV, but that through such a transaction of the copyright of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Asahi TV and Xuluo have a good relationship again.
Don't look at the TV Tokyo in the past year, in fact, they are still a big gap from the previous major TV stations, and it is not something that can be completely changed by a few TV series and a variety show.
At the very least, it should be ten or eight years of continuous broadcast of high-rated TV dramas, and seven or eight variety shows have been broadcast for many years, so that a stable audience can be formed, and enough viewership shares can be laid.
Prosperity like this is a temporary illusion.
The audience didn't settle down at all.
Once they can't continue to launch good idol dramas and TV shows, the audience will immediately press the button without hesitation and switch channels.
At that point, all of TV Tokyo's efforts came to naught, and it was finally beaten back to its original shape.
This is unacceptable to the ambitious TV Tokyo, and neither is Shigeru Kojima.
It's okay to be fired, but the point is that his own career ambitions have broken since then, which is a huge shame.
The Japanese people's dedication to honor is deep-rooted and has not changed until now.
So Kojima Mori Shigeru saw that Xuluo was about to fly away, and he couldn't care so much.
Because he had just finished exercising, Xuluo took small sips of water and was not in a hurry to speak.
Just waited like this for a minute, and when Kojima Mori Shigeru couldn't bear it anymore, Xuluo said slowly: "He came out with an episode of 70,000 US dollars." ”
"What? Seven...... $70,000!? ”
Shigeru Kojima thought he had misheard, "No, didn't you say an offer of 50,000 before?" ”
$50,000 a set, he's hesitating here.
After all, it is an outsourced drama, not produced by its own family, and there is no way to guarantee the quality or anything.
Although I watched it very exciting, and I thought it would definitely not be bad, but caution is the characteristic of the Japanese people, so Kojima Mori Shigeru was reluctant to buy it at a high price.
Even if he buys it in the end, he has to need a few promises from Xuluo to have added value.
At this point, NHK's Hirayama Narisho also thinks so, and his attitude is not as resolute as Kojima Morishige, and it seems that he is unwilling to pay $50,000.
As a result, Daito Saburo was good, and he actually raised the price to 70,000 US dollars in one breath, which is an increase of 40%!
Isn't this disrupting the market?!
Xuluo looked at him angrily, and was a little funny: "Mr. Dadong is a person who is used to big deals, and he cooperated with me so boldly in "Tokyo Love Story" at the beginning...... I think he's okay. ”
The meaning in the words is that Daito Saburo is okay, so it means that Kojima Mori Shigeru is not good?
Actually, it is.
Xuluo asked Kojima Mori Shigeru to come over, not only as a means to raise the price with NHK, but in fact, Xuluo hoped that Kojima Mori Shigeru could also participate in the purchase of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
But I didn't expect Kojima Mori Shigeru to think too much and be too complicated, but it was not as refreshing as the cooperation in Japan.
Originally, Xuluo had no other way, so he was going to talk to Kojima Mori Shigeru a few more times, and then coaxed him to promise to buy an episode for 50,000 US dollars, even if it was a success.
But who knew there was a big east Saburo?
Daito Saburo, who has lost a lot of opportunities, has made a bloody investment this time.
This naturally gives Xuluo the opportunity to raise the price!
When the Japanese people participate in overseas competitions, they generally do not indiscriminately raise prices, and as long as they shout a few more times, one party will give up.
But that doesn't mean they won't compete, there is competition.
The difference between more than 4 million and more than 5 million US dollars is actually not big, and it is still in Fan Weine, who can bear it.
But Kojima Mori Shigeru couldn't imagine that Daito Saburo was so ruthless, and the increase rate was so high, it was clear that he was directly robbing business.
Fortunately, Xuluo is not a person who has never seen money, and if he is the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he must have agreed now.
Now Xuluo told himself that he must still want to ask for a higher price.
It depends on whether you are willing to raise the price.
Amitabha.
Kojima Mori snorted secretly.
Thanks to Xuluo's willingness to give himself a chance, if he was really snatched away by Dadong Saburo all of a sudden, he didn't even have a chance to struggle, then it was called a wish, and it was called a desire to cry without tears.
At this moment, it was no longer his turn to think carefully about the price.
Xuluo is willing to give him a chance, but he won't wait for him all the time.
In case when he hesitates, Hirayama Chengxiang comes here and offers a higher price, if Xuluo agrees, his perception of himself in his heart will definitely drop to the bottom - I have given you a chance again and again, but you can't grasp it? Then don't blame me!
So you have to get into the soul!
Kojima Mori Shigeru is also the director of the TV station who manages a team of thousands of people.
Originally, he had several pre-eucalyptus, even the worst-case scenario.
So he pondered for a while, and on the basis of his biggest bottom line, he made concessions again.
"Mr. Void." Kojima Mori Shigeru glanced at Xuluo with some pain, and then helped himself make up his mind: "Although TV Tokyo is not as rich as TV Asahi, and it does not have such a good environment and the support of the consortium behind it, we attach great importance to your friendship Mr. Xu!" So you see that we are willing to use the price of $100,000 per episode to buy the copyright of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" for five years, is this appropriate? ”
"$100,000, five years of copyright?"
Xuluo repeated, and glanced at Kojima Mori Shigeru with a smile.
This guy is still quite stingy.
Although the sky-high price of 100,000 US dollars was issued, the copyright that was usually three years in the near future has been changed to five years.
In fact, it also balances the price a little.
It's a little cheaper than the $70,000 of TV Asahi.
But you can't look at the problem like this, because if TV Asahi spent $70,000 to buy the first three-year copyright, then the copyright of the second time must be a dive-like decline, and it is good to be able to sell it for $10,000 an episode.
After all, the first wave is the most profitable.
The latter can only be regarded as a long stream.
Huaxia TV will definitely choose the price of 100,000 US dollars of TV Tokyo!
It's not that they're just looking at the present, it's time for them to keep using dollars!
Maybe in five years, Huaxia TV won't be so short of dollars?
TV Tokyo dared to spend $8.4 million to buy "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and in general, sincerity was enough.
Thinking of this, Xuluo nodded: "I'll go back and talk to them...... Mr. Kojima, if you ask for half of the royalties to be paid in advance, you don't have a problem there, right? ”
Shigeru Kojima thought to himself that my head was all in, is there still a tail?
So he didn't hesitate to bow his head and said: "No problem, after signing the contract, we can transfer the US dollars to the name of the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in a month." ”
Having said that, Kojima Mori Shigeru is still a little distressed.
After all, it's close to $10 million!
Even if it's one of the six major Japanese and benzene TV stations like TV Tokyo, it's still a little painful to take it out.
Now he can only pray that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be filmed better, and when the time comes, it will be broadcast on TV stations, and the advertising money can make up for his losses.
Then Kojima Mori Shigeru also expects Xuluo to watch it for his own sake of selling face, and give himself a few more good TV series, which can also make up for a little loss.
"Happy!"
Xu Luo laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "Chief Kojima, I feel your heart!" Rest assured, our cooperation must be a win-win situation! "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" must be even more exciting than you think! ”
The production team, cast, support from above, and everyone's efforts in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" ...... These voids are all in the eyes.
If you want to say that such a TV series can capsize, Xuluo absolutely doesn't believe it.
So who is taking advantage of this, it is not clear who is taking advantage of this!
He went back to talk to Ren Dayu and Wang Fulin about it, and sure enough, the two old men rushed to Kojima Mori Shigeru without saying a word, and pulled him to discuss the details of the contract in detail.
But here comes the problem.
Daito Saburo immediately came to the door.
"Mr. Xu, it's too uninteresting for you to do this." Daito Saburo couldn't help but complain for a while, "It's no problem for TV Tokyo to give a high price, but you can tell me again and see if I can offer more prices!" Now it's good to start discussing the details of the contract! ”
Xuluo naturally had a plan in his heart.
He pulled Saburo Daito to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and then said: "Mr. Daito, Director Kojima gave the crew a sky-high price of $100,000 per episode, do you think the crew can let it go?" ”
"One hundred thousand?"
Daito Saburo gasped, "He's crazy!" ”
The 70,000 US dollar episode of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is unprecedented in the history of Japanese benzene's outsourced Asian TV series.
And "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is expected to have a total of 84 episodes, so the total amount will reach an astonishing $8.4 million!
Of course, the exception is Mikoku.
Daddy, of course, the Japanese people should be more respectful, and the premium should be more.
Now the price of 100,000 US dollars on TV Tokyo is basically the price of a high-rated TV drama in Mikuni, and other Japanese TV stations will not follow.
If Daito Saburo gave this price and brought it to the board of directors of the TV station for consideration, it would also be directly vetoed.
But his efforts suddenly failed, which made Daito Saburo very frustrated.
Is it true that after missing once, you will never have a chance to make up for it?
