Chapter 975: Low Air Pressure
On September 5th, "Those Flowers" firmly ranked first on the new song list, and the data far exceeded the second.
At the same time, Jiang Yan received good news, "Sword Rain" was completed!
For this movie, Jiang Yan decided to release it during the Spring Festival, after all, the Spring Festival file has a high traffic, and the movie will either be unknown or a big hit, and there will be no mediocrity.
In the morning, Jiang Yan came to the company and acted as a shovel officer every day, waiting for the adopted cat.
Xi Youle watched from the side.
"Good brother, my dad wants you to go to the house for dinner at noon."
When Jiang Yan was done, Xi Youle whispered.
Dine?
Jiang Yan looked at Xi Youle.
"Okay, I just want to try Auntie's handiwork." Jiang Yan agreed.
Since "Weekend Wars" was forcibly released at the same time as "Running Brother", Jiang Yan and Xi Ronghua have obviously had less contact, and they would occasionally make a phone call to chat.
Xi Ronghua took the initiative to invite himself to his house for dinner, which Jiang Yan didn't expect.
At noon, Jiang Yan drove to the villa where Xi Ronghua lived.
Xi Ronghua's three brothers all live together, and they usually eat very lively, and a large family sits around the dining table.
The children were playing at the door of the villa, the women were busy in the kitchen, Xi Ronghua was sitting in the main seat, and when he saw Jiang Yan sitting next to Xi Youle, Xi Ronghua smiled.
"Jiang Yan, the second child is not here today, you sit in his place."
Xi Ronghua said, Jiang Yan got up and sat opposite Xi Wenfu when he saw this, and this position was generally sat by Xi Yi, the second eldest of the Xi family.
When he heard that Xi Wenfu had let him sit in this position, Qin Ming realized that this was not an ordinary dinner.
"Jiang Yan eat more, this is the braised prawns I specially made for you." Xi Youle's mother kept giving Jiang Yan vegetables.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Jiang Yan said politely.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious, and when everyone had almost eaten, they left one after another, and only Xi Ronghua, Xi Wenfu and Jiang Yan were left on the table.
"Jiang Yan, I want to thank you, Su Qibo is now the Heavenly King under Xitian." Xi Ronghua handed Jiang Yan a cigarette, Jiang Yan refused, Xi Ronghua didn't say anything and smoked by himself, but Xi Wenfu's expression was a little unnatural.
"Xitian has the strength to sign Su Qibo, which has nothing to do with me."
Jiang Yan said.
"Of course it has something to do with you, if it weren't for you, Su Qibo wouldn't have broken with Dongsheng." Xi Ronghua spat out a smoke ring.
"Yes, Jiang Yan, you like to break with your old club very much, and the people around you are the same, Zhong Fengyu, Tian Junfeng and Ma Xiaonan."
Xi Wenfu has something to say.
Jiang Yan looked at Xi Wenfu, and the atmosphere instantly became wrong.
"It's better to break with the old club than to be exploited, at least follow me and they become the king and queen."
"If I'm not mistaken, Beifeng now has more kings and queens than Xitian, this shouldn't be, Xitian is a big entertainment company." Jiang Yan said.
The reason for his departure from Dongsheng only needs to be checked on the Internet to know, as for Tian Junfeng and Ma Xiaonan, they have long planned to follow them, and the contract expires, and Zhong Fengyu terminated the contract peacefully with Warner.
The corners of Xi Wenfu's mouth twitched, his words did not hurt Jiang Yan in the slightest, but Jiang Yan's knife was a critical blow.
Xitian is too short of singers, especially top singers of the level of the king and queen, so Su Qibo applied for a job on Weibo, and Xitian immediately took the initiative to show his goodwill.
Jiang Yan was not wrong, there were indeed more Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Queens of Beifeng than Xitian.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about these hurtful words." Xi Ronghua broke the siege.
"Jiang Yan, the main reason for coming to you today is to talk about the Beifeng APP."
Xi Ronghua began to get down to business.
"Jiang Yan, tell me the truth, how much money has Beifeng APP spent now?" Xi Ronghua snuffed out the cigarette butt.
"Four hundred million!"
Jiang Yan said.
The 400 million includes advertising on major TV stations and software platforms, as well as the purchase of variety show broadcast rights, such as "Great Country Food", "The Masked Singer" and so on.
And "Never Expected" and "Run, Brother" are not included, after all, the sponsorship fee alone makes a small profit.
"That's pretty much what I thought." Xi Ronghua stroked the wedding ring.
"Jiang Yan, Beifeng APP is even more difficult to do than you think, when Xitian APP was launched, the company's management was against it, because it was too expensive to see the future."
Xi Ronghua sighed.
At that time, there was no concept of video software in China, and the public watched TV stations.
Xitian APP belongs to the earlier batch of video software, and it took 20 years from scratch to have the scale of 600 million users now.
Burning money in the early stage and not seeing the future is the most painful thing.
It's like when you were in school, you worked hard and studied hard, but you still didn't do well on mock exams.
But fortunately, Xi Ronghua persevered, and today's Xitian APP alone has advertising fees and membership fees of up to 2 billion a year.
Jiang Yan nodded in agreement.
Beifeng APP is indeed more difficult to do than he thinks, as for why Xi Ronghua should understand in his heart.
Those producers were reluctant to sell the TV series copyright to Beifeng because they were afraid of Xitian, which was also Jiang Yan's headache.
By the end of the first season of "Run, Brother", users will probably put the Beifeng APP aside and stop using it.
"So I want to buy the Beifeng APP, at a price of 500 million!" Xi Ronghua's words were amazing.
"Do you want to buy the Beifeng APP, or do you want to buy "Run, Brother"?"
Jiang Yan said.
"Hahaha, it's all there." Xi Ronghua smiled awkwardly.
It is not important to buy Beifeng APP, the important thing is "Run, Brother", which is what Xi Ronghua wants to say next.
After buying the Beifeng APP, the first season of "Run, Brother" will be recorded normally, and when the second season comes, he will replace all the resident guests with Xitian artists.
The explosion of Running Man made Xi Ronghua realize the huge profits of variety shows, and in addition to targeting Running Man, "Weekend Wars" is more about imitating this model.
Who said that you have to be a TV station to broadcast variety shows, video apps can also do.
But it backfired, and "Weekend Wars" was suspended indefinitely, so Xi Ronghua locked his eyes on the running man.
Instead of 500 million to buy Beifeng APP, it is better to say 500 million to buy "Run, Brother".
"Beifeng APP is my hard work." Jiang Yan shook his head and refused.
"Jiang Yan, it's impossible for you to make Beifeng APP, why bother to support it."
Xi Wenfu interjected.
As long as Beifeng APP does not have the copyright of the TV series, users will never be able to use it for a long time.
And Xitian is a leader in the film and television industry, and no one dares to sell the copyright of TV series to Beifeng APP.
This is also the confidence of Xi Wenfu to say this!
"At the beginning, no one believed that Xitian APP could do it." Jiang Yan said.
"The current situation is different from back then, and it is because of my efforts that Xitian APP has grown up smoothly!"
Xi Wenfu's tone was proud.
Xi Ronghua is in the light, he is in the dark, and many important decisions in Xitian must be agreed by him.
"Then we'll see." Jiang Yan said.
Xi Wenfu sneered.
"Arrogance!"
