Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 406: Sky-high contract, new owner is in place!

The closed-door meeting with the Youying team lasted nearly two hours.

During this period, Zhou Hao was almost overwhelmed by the big promises made by the other party.

Youying's sincerity is not inadequate, and it has directly raised the signing fee to the billion level...

You don’t have to do anything, just sign a contract and you can get 100 million.

Damn, what does it mean to be close to people by relying on billions?

In addition to the signing fee, other welfare conditions are also piled up to the extreme - villas, sports cars, vacation plans, beautiful women resources... In short, he can give you whatever you can think of!
If your stance weakens even a little, you will be in a mess in a matter of minutes.

So tempting!
But Zhou Hao had already suffered a loss once, so he wouldn't be fooled so easily.

Youying is also capital, and its ultimate goal is also to make profits and reap the benefits. The current heavy bleeding is just to better exploit it in the future!

In this respect, it will be no different from the other two.

However, for Zhou Hao, he does need a new cooperation platform.

Penguin has basically completely torn its relations with us, and the possibility of continued cooperation is slim. Shanhai Film and Television will have to deal with the rest of the issues on its own.

Anyway, the cooperation agreement between him and Shanhai was just about providing scripts, which he had plenty of.

If you have to choose a new platform, then Youying is indeed the best answer in all aspects.

First, it has a strong background and financial resources. After all, it has the former richest man in China in charge, so at least it doesn’t have to worry about running out of money.

Second, its only advantage now is that it has a lot of money and is seriously lacking in high-quality resources. This is very beneficial to creators, who can take this opportunity to get astonishing premium rewards.

Third, although there are few excellent works, it has all the necessary resources. In terms of industry coverage and channel breadth, it may even have the best foundation among the Big Three!

The fourth and most attractive point to Zhou Hao is that Youying has a film business behind it!

If you join Youying, you can enter the film industry, which is a resource advantage that even Penguin Pictures does not have!
The current Chinese film industry is truly among the top two in the world. As long as the quality of the film is good enough, earning billions at the box office is easy!
Compared to the tiny investment returns of TV dramas, movies are the real highly profitable industry!
Just make two low-cost, high-return films, and you can make money faster than a money printing machine!
All in all, this is indeed a great place to go!

But these were all thoughts in his mind, Zhou Hao did not reveal a word.

The most taboo thing in negotiation is to reveal your cards in advance. Anyway, it is Youying who is anxious now, so he just needs to delay the matter.

The longer you delay, the higher the price!
Sure enough, within two days, Youying’s team came again and further raised the price.

The signing fee remains the same, but they will give you a luxury house in the center of Shanghai and a limited edition supercar...

Just adding these things together is already very scary.

However, this is just a small matter, the real big thing is yet to come - as long as you sign and join, you will be directly given shares in Youying!

The last one - the former richest man personally introduced and endorsed, inviting him to join a certain chamber of commerce...

Zhou Hao was so excited when he read the first few posts, but he broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the last one.

This thing is not a good thing... If the big guys inside take it out and count it, at least half of them can reach the street lamp pendant.

This place is not a good place to go!
However, the other conditions were indeed in place, and Zhou Hao also knew how to stop when enough is enough, so he agreed to the other party's invitation in principle.

However, the specific negotiations were handed over to Zhang Hong, who only gave one bottom line requirement - it must have its own independent theater unit, and the creative process must not be subject to any manipulation or interference from Youying.

After entering the negotiation, Youying agreed to this condition without saying anything. Are you kidding me? They have already invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and they still need this condition?
As long as your drama, Zhou Hao, can help Youying attract traffic and attract customers... let alone opening a theater unit for you, we can even build a cinema just for you!

The negotiation process was very long. After all, this was not a small project and there were too many clauses that needed to be haggled over. One mistake could result in a loss of hundreds of millions.

The legal affairs department of Jinghong Studio was simply unable to cope with such a large project, so Zhang Hong had to hire a professional team to assist and participate in the negotiations and drafting of the contract.

After nearly ten days of negotiation, the two sides basically reached a preliminary agreement, and all the promises made by Youying were basically implemented in the contract terms.

The simplest and most straightforward signing fee will be paid in quarterly installments and fully paid off within five years.

The reason why they chose to pay in installments was not because Youying had no money, but because the tax would be too daunting if they paid it all at once...

Zhou Hao had no objection to this. Just pay it in installments.

Anyway, he will not pay a penny less in taxes, but he will not oppose any operations within the scope of legal tax avoidance.

He's not that stupid yet.

The official signing was scheduled for after the Spring Festival because Youying still needs to make a series of related preparations.

However, this did not affect their publicity and promotion. On the eve of the Spring Festival Gala, various "rumors" began to gradually appear on the Internet.

"Report! Zhou Hao is preparing to leave Shanhai and develop in Youying!"

"Inside story of the uncle's party - Zhou Hao is going to Youying!"

"It's definitely not a rumor. Youying is already preparing relevant promotional materials. Zhou Hao is definitely going to join Youying!"

"The war between the three royal families is about to enter a new stage. Zhou Hao is expected to be the one who breaks the impasse for Youying!"

"I heard that Youying directly offered a sky-high price, the kind that's scary..."

With the help of a number of marketing accounts, these messages began to spread widely.

At first, everyone just took it as a piece of gossip and listened to it for fun.

It wasn’t until the 28th day of the lunar calendar that Youying’s official Weibo suddenly “slipped” and released a promotional poster, the content of which happened to be the official announcement of Zhou Hao’s joining!
Although the official Weibo account quickly "discovered the mistake" and removed the poster within two minutes, but... as they wished, the entire industry was in an uproar.

The poster is carefully made and is obviously not a spoof knockoff.

Moreover, this poster was produced by Youying officially, and there wasn’t even a symbolic apology or explanation afterwards... You call this a mistake?
The intention of this marketing warm-up couldn’t be more obvious!

After the shock, all that remains is heated discussion.

Zhou Hao's current reputation and status in the circle are obvious to all.

Without talking about the distant past, let’s just talk about this drama “Nirvana in Fire”, which almost single-handedly brought Jiangsu Satellite TV to a level of popularity that did not belong to it.

Horror!
Penguin Video’s outstanding performance this year is largely due to Zhou Hao’s three consecutive hits.

But now, Zhou Hao is going to Youying.

This time, how will he stir up the storm?
