Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 406 Gong Yu takes action, and the sky-high copyright fee is exposed
Nanxun Cultural Reception Room.

In the reception room, dozens of men and women were gathered together chatting and laughing. The atmosphere seemed harmonious but there were undercurrents.

In fact, each family took this matter very seriously, but they did not expect that the other party took it much more seriously than themselves.

Cai Huaijun looked around at the representatives from the other three video platforms and felt a little headache.

As the vice president of Mango Video, under normal circumstances there is no need for him to come forward to negotiate the broadcasting rights of a drama.

However, Cai Huaijun thought that the drama from Nanxun Culture was totally worth putting aside his pride and fighting for, so after the station director had a long talk with him, he patted his chest with full confidence and guaranteed that he would be able to get back the exclusive online broadcasting rights for the drama.

however……

Cai Huaijun, who arrived first, first greeted Ma Xiaonan, the general manager of the Pants Drama Center. At this time, his mentality was still good. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he represented Mango and had given it enough attention.

Then, when he saw Han Zijie from Penguin appear, his heart began to beat. After all, as the most generous and inhumane Penguin among the four video platforms, he still felt oppressive. What's more, Han Zijie had established a solid cooperation foundation through the three projects of Keai, Bei Ni and Xing Han after joining Nanxun Culture for more than a year. Naturally, he should not be underestimated.

Cai Huaijun originally thought that Penguin had just cooperated with Nanxun Culture on Xinghan, so Qinre would not try hard to win it. However, he did not expect that Han Zijie would appear here again, which showed that Penguin also attached great importance to this project, which made him a little nervous.

However, this is not the end.

When Cai Huaijun saw Gong Yu appear with a smile, he suddenly had the urge to curse!

My goodness, now that Gong Yu is here, how can we play?
Ma Xiaonan had similar thoughts as him, but her face was already stiff from smiling.

Ma Xiaonan never thought that to discuss the broadcasting rights of a current idol drama, he would be able to involve three top bosses: the vice president of Mango TV, the general manager of Penguin Pictures, and the president of Kiwi Video!
How can we talk about this?
Ma Xiaonan had already anticipated his failure.

"Everyone, please forgive me for waiting so long. I am a little late."

Along with the cheerful voice, the door of the conference room was opened, and Lin Li, Xu Fei and Chen Chao walked into the reception room slowly.

Lin Li had a tall and straight figure. The gentle friction of his clothes as he walked became the most subtle background music in the reception room. His short and neat hair made his face look even more handsome.

He was wearing a clean and bright white suit, and his every move and glance revealed a calm and unhurried demeanor.

Except for him, everyone else in the room looked pretty much the same, wearing mostly black suits with a few hints of blue and gray.

"Boss Lin is here!"

"Not too late, not too late. There are still ten minutes until two o'clock."

"After not seeing you for a while, General Manager Lin has become even more impressive."

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

In the reception room, various greetings were heard. Lin Li responded with a smile and introduced Xu Fei and Chen Chao to the representatives of each company.

After the greetings, everyone sat around the round table in the reception room.

"Many of you here are acquaintances, and you all know my character, so I won't drag it out and will get straight to the point."

"Before we officially discuss the broadcast rights, I would like to share with you the latest situation."

"Boss Xu, please tell me."

Lin Li habitually tapped the table with his fingers, and after a brief opening remark, he raised his chin slightly to signal Xu Fei who was standing beside him.

Gong Yu and the others paused, feeling something was wrong, and turned their gaze to Xu Fei who was standing beside Lin Li.

"Hello everyone, this is what happened. I believe Mr. Cai from Mango TV should be aware of this. We have recently reached a cooperation agreement with Shonan TV and Shanghai TV, and sold the first round of broadcast rights to them."

"Double Star Simulcast, each episode costs 300 million."

Xu Fei looked around at everyone present, his smile reserved and confident.

After all, this is a manifestation of strength.

"so tall?"

"Isn't this a bit too high?"

"Shonan and Moto are really rich!"

"..."

As soon as the words came out, there was a burst of whispers at the scene.

Although Gong Yu and others had not spoken yet, the executives who came with them could not help but start discussing it heatedly.

Han Zijie and others were a little hesitant for a moment. The broadcasting rights for a single episode of satellite TV have been sold for three million per episode, and it is a dual-star broadcast by two satellite TV stations. If they want to get the exclusive online copyright, how much should they bid?
Several people were in a state of panic. Their original plans were disrupted by the news, and they began to reconsider their budget.

Lin Li was not in a hurry. After the staff had placed tea for everyone, he picked up the cup of tea in front of him and sipped it leisurely.

Now Nanxun Culture’s projects are like daughters waiting to be married. If one family has a daughter, hundreds of families will want her, so there is no problem selling them.

The only ones who have to worry are these platforms. They have to measure how many new members this drama will bring to them, how many old members will be retained, how much advertising revenue it will bring, and how much it will increase the stock price...

Moreover, as one thing grows, the other shrinks.

If we fail to win this project and someone else wins it, how much of an impact will it have on us and how big of a gap will it create?
If it was a project from another company, it would be fine. After all, all major film and television companies have had failures in their projects. But Nanxun Culture is different. It has never had a failed project so far.

Without talking about the distant past, let’s just talk about The Wind Dog, a youth web drama that just finished airing recently. It cost 1.6 million yuan, but it has currently achieved an average of million views per episode, and has a very good reputation, bringing in revenue that has multiplied exponentially.

In this situation, who would be willing to give up the intimacy that obviously has more potential to explode than the Wind Dog?
Only a fool will!

Is there anyone here who is a fool?
not a single one!

After a brief silence, Han Zijie raised his hand first.

"Boss Lin, we are old acquaintances. I won't be too fussy with you. We at Penguin will do it all at once, 800 million per episode."

"To be honest with you, Mr. Lin, our original budget was 600 per episode."

Seeing Lin Li looking over, Han Zijie said solemnly.

"Tsk~"

There was an immediate sound of smacking lips in the reception room, and everyone turned their eyes to Han Zijie, marveling at the wealth of Penguin.

"Boss Han, Xinghan hasn't even started filming yet, and you're thinking about us getting intimate again. Soon our Nanxun Culture will become a content export site for Penguin."

Lin Li raised the corners of his lips slightly and said meaningfully.

As soon as the words came out, Gong Yu and others were moved. "Boss Lin, you are joking. This only shows that Nanxun Culture's project is good enough, and we at Penguin like to cooperate with excellent companies."

"Besides, we have always had a pleasant cooperation, haven't we?"

Han Zijie raised the teacup in his hand and spoke with familiarity and confidence.

"What Mr. Han said makes sense. Nanxun Culture is such an excellent project that is worth investing in. We at Mango TV also hope to cooperate with excellent companies. We are willing to pay 800 million yuan and promise to promote the series on satellite TV and video platforms during the broadcast period, which will definitely exceed the promotion efforts of all previous series."

Seeing that Penguin was so wealthy, Cai Huaijun could no longer sit still and interrupted directly.

Han Zijie slowly put down the teacup, turned to look at Cai Huaijun, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Mango full-site promotion? What if you promote the entire site on a video platform with the lowest traffic?
ridiculous!

"Heh... let me say something."

Han Zijie, who was about to speak, was interrupted by Gong Yu who suddenly spoke up and looked at him sideways.

"Please speak up, Mr. Gong."

Lin Li said to Gong Yu with a smile.

Speaking of which, as the only leader of the video platform on the scene, and having just tasted success with Fengquan, Lin Li was very much looking forward to how Gong Yu would make a decision.

"Boss Lin, we at Kiwifruit have great trust in Nanxun Culture. Although it does exceed our original budget, I don't think it's a big deal."

"Ten million. The copyright fee for a single episode of our Kiwifruit is ten million."

“Site-wide promotion and marketing.”

"Boss Lin, you should have seen my sincerity."

Gong Yu stretched out his finger and made the shape of a "one", then said to Lin Li with a smile.

As soon as the words came out, the whole audience fell into a brief silence.

Han Zijie's face darkened slightly. He leaned back in his chair without saying a word.

Cai Huaijun moved his mouth and tried to speak several times, but finally held back.

As for Ma Xiaonan, she had lost the right to speak the moment Han Zijie opened his mouth, and she just sat obediently in her seat watching the fight between Gong Yu and the others.

For the first time, Ma Xiaonan had a special feeling.

Their pants are so poor!

"Does anyone here have any other opinions?"

Lin Li looked around, taking in everyone's expressions and smiled.

"In that case, Mr. Gong."

"Pleasant to work with."

Seeing no one answer, Lin Li stood up, walked to Gong Yu and gestured with his hand.

"Boss Lin, I hope we can replicate the success of Wind Dog again."

Gong Yu grasped Lin Li's hand and chuckled.

"Mr. Gong is wrong."

"Hmm? I don't know what I said is wrong?"

"Intimacy will definitely be more successful than wind dogs."

Lin Li separated his hands from Gong Yu's, speaking in a relaxed tone that revealed immense confidence.

After all, being intimate is not just a blockbuster drama, it is a real phenomenal work!

What's more, the current intimacy is an improved plus version with a more powerful lineup!

"Then Mr. Lin, I'll wait and see!"

Gong Yu was stunned at first, then came to his senses, smiled, and said expectantly.

"I will never let Mr. Gong down."

"You all have come from afar, I'm the host today, how about you all have a drink?"

Lin Li first responded to Gong Yu, then turned to look at Han Zijie and others and said.

"Thank you for troubling Mr. Lin."

"I've heard that Mr. Lin can drink a lot, let's see it this time."

"It's all up to General Lin to arrange."

Naturally, everyone agreed happily.

Just thinking back to Lin Li's confident demeanor just now, Han Zijie and the others suddenly felt a little regretful.

For some reason, Lin Li seemed to attach particular importance to this intimacy?
-

In the evening, a piece of news spread like wildfire on the Internet.

Some media photographed the vice president of Mango Video, the general manager of the Pants Drama Center, Penguin Pictures Han Zijie, Kiwi President Gong Yu and others arriving at Nanxun Culture one after another, presumably to discuss the copyright issues of intimate online broadcasting.

Not long after, another piece of gossip leaked out.

It is rumored that "Intimate" has been confirmed to be broadcast on satellite TV, and will be broadcast by both Shonan TV and Modou TV. The rights to the first round of single episodes were sold at a high price of 300 million!

However, this is not over yet.

An insider revealed that after negotiations between the four major video platforms and Nanxun Culture in the afternoon, Kiwi finally won the exclusive online broadcasting rights of "QinHui", and the copyright fee for a single episode reached a sky-high price of 1000 million.

In other words, before it was even launched, the exclusive online copyright fees for Qinre had already generated 4.2 million in revenue!

In an instant, one stone stirred up a thousand waves!
