This man knows how to hype

Chapter 425 They are too rich

Just when Jeffrey was thinking about how to talk to Xu Xiyu.

People from Netflix are here too.

Compared to Jeffrey's various plans, Netflix's purpose is much simpler. They bought the overseas broadcasting rights of "New Paradise: Wangxian" and then the film and television adaptation rights.

As for joint venture filming?

"Mr. Xu, we also hope to cooperate with you, but we have already found a team and are just waiting for the adaptation rights to be obtained so that we can apply for a budget and start filming. We can only look forward to working together next time."

Xu Xiyu couldn't be dealt with with such a neat and decisive attitude.

No, man!
I've been thinking about Westworld for a long time, and you won't even let me say a word?

what's going on?

Is $150 million per episode worth it?
what?
Pay another $600 million to buy the exclusive overseas film and television adaptation rights?

You look down on me, Xu, right?

Can I sell it for this little money?

800?
1000?
make a deal!

"Fuck! Is Netflix so rich that it just spent 2500 million US dollars?" After the sale, Xu Xiyu couldn't help but marvel in amazement in the office.

You know, many of Netflix's own dramas have about this budget, but they are willing to spend 1500 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 1 million Chinese yuan, to buy "New Paradise: Wangxian".

A domestic TV station approached Xu Xiyu and offered him only 1500 million Chinese yuan, because the show only had 10 episodes, which was not enough time to broadcast.

As for the online platform, it adopts a profit-sharing model, so there is no need to worry about the price of a single episode.

And the fun thing is, the 1500 million belongs to Hua Qing.

But the adaptation rights worth 1000 million belong to him personally, because the IP of "New Paradise·Wangxian" is in Xu Xiyu's personal hands, and Xu Xiyu only authorized Huaqing to adapt it into a film and television drama.

This point was very clear, because he had to consider the possibility that Huaqing Company was taken away by someone.

If he were just a screenwriter, he wouldn't be able to do this.

But he is the chairman.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu couldn't help but ask Shan Xinbao: "What do you think they will remake? Is it possible to be a western?"

"Western theme?" Shan Xinbao was stunned when he heard this, and then asked curiously: "Boss, why do you think of Western themes?"

"Then what other subject matter can be adapted?" Xu Xiyu asked in return.

"It's a magic theme. We cultivate immortality and they practice magic. This is reasonable, right?" Shan Xinbao said as a matter of course.

When Xu Xiyu heard this answer, he was completely stunned. After a long while, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't mention it. I think what you said makes sense."

After saying that, Xu Xiyu couldn't help laughing.

My own thinking has really been rigidified by "Westworld".

Shan Xinbao is right. We are filming the fairy tale world here, so their first thought after buying it must be the magic world. How could it be Westworld?
"I don't know how they will film it. Don't make Qingyao appear transgender." Shan Xinbao said with some heartache, worried, "It would be so sad if such a good IP was ruined by them."

"Hahaha, I actually hope they shoot it this way." Xu Xiyu laughed when he heard that. If Netflix fails on its own, maybe they will remember his "joint venture shooting" proposal again?

So he urged again: "Don't worry about what they think, let the company's publicity department release this news to the public."

"Okay." Upon hearing that, Shan Xinbao jumped out immediately.

About half an hour later, the news that Netflix purchased the rights to "New Paradise: Wangxian" and its film and television adaptation for 1.75 million yuan, setting a record for the overseas price of a Chinese drama was released.

When this news came out, it caused a huge uproar.

Also, because the title is so confusing, the word “及” in “New Paradise·Wangxian” and film and television adaptation rights” is easily overlooked.

So, the story spread and became "Netflix purchased the adaptation rights for 1.75 million."

This statement is very impactful.

For a time, netizens were shocked.

[Fuck, is Wangxian's IP so valuable? ]

【Fake news, right?】

[Posted by Huaqing official account, could this be fake news? ]

[Is Netflix blind? They bought this garbage, Wang Xian, and remade it? 】

[Yes, yes, yes, you are the only one with good eyesight, you are the only one who is smart, people are paying real money to buy it, you sell it even if you are not convinced, let’s see if they are still blind]

[Real money? Maybe someone is trying to flatter himself. In fact, he only gave 175 million, but he discussed it with Netflix and hyped up the number to 1.75 million to attract attention.]

【Win the game】

【You lost again? 】

As usual, there was another quarrel on the Internet, and even some people started to argue over the winners. No one knew what keywords triggered it.

At the roadshow for "The Richest Man in Xihong City", Li Shangrong saw the news and hurriedly handed her phone to Li Shangling, who had just finished the roadshow and returned to the car: "Lingling, look, wow, 1.75 million?"

After reading it, Li Shangling covered her slightly opened mouth and said incredulously, "So, he went back to the capital to discuss this matter?"

"Probably." Li Shangrong nodded.

After that, he lowered his voice and said, "That's good. In this way, his homemade project will be even more popular."

After hearing this, Li Shangling became a little anxious.

After all, it didn't happen that night. Who knows if what he said was true or not.

What if it's an excuse for rejection?
Thinking of this, she was about to say something when she heard Li Shangrong speak first: "Lingling, how about... how about I not stay here with you, I'll go back to the capital first."

After she finished speaking, Li Shangrong's face gradually began to turn red, ever since she had sucked it that night.

Her body reacts whenever she brings up this topic.

Li Shangling's face also started to turn red. She naturally knew what her sister meant by returning to the capital first.

So, she stuttered and said, "I...I...uh...that's fine, you decide for yourself..."

Hearing her say this, Li Shangrong stopped talking and tried to calm down her emotions and restless hormones.

At the same time, Chen Peiduo on the other side was so excited after seeing the news that she hugged Yang Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, that's amazing, really amazing. You have a bright future!"

"Mommy, what do you mean by a bright future?" Yang Wanwan had no idea what was wrong with her mother.

"Follow your godfather carefully. You have a bright future. Our family's good life depends on you. You must listen to your godfather carefully. Do whatever he asks you to do. Do you understand?"

After saying this, Yang Wanwan slowly lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I know, Mommy, you don't have to remind me all the time."

"Isn't Mommy afraid that you'd forget?"

"I can't forget." Yang Wanwan's voice became deeper and deeper.

But Chen Peiduo didn't care at all. She just kissed Yang Wanwan on the face and said, "Hey, this is my good daughter."

After the kiss, she was about to say something else when she heard a man's voice: "Yiyi's mom, let's go pick Yiyi up from school."

The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yang Wanwan's father standing at the door. As for the Yi Yi he mentioned, his full name is Yang Weiyi. He is over 8 years old and is Yang Wanwan's younger brother.

Seeing Yang's father, Chen Peiduo couldn't help but say, "Let me tell you, the news just now said that Netflix spent 1.75 million to buy the adaptation rights of Xu Xiyu's "New Paradise: Wangxian"."

"Taiwan Dollar?" Dad Yang was stunned.

"US dollars!" Chen Peiduo didn't know what had happened. She thought it was US dollars. Or maybe the information she saw was distorted. That's how internet rumors come about.

After all, Netflix is ​​an American company, so it makes sense for it to use US dollars.

Therefore, when Yang's father heard this, he almost jumped up: "1.75 million US dollars? More than NT$56 billion?"

"Yes!" Chen Peiduo said excitedly.

Hearing this, Yang's father immediately turned to Yang Wanwan and said seriously: "Wanwan, I'm telling you, you must make your godfather happy. I, your mommy, and your dad, all rely on you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Wanwan felt as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing down on her heart, making her not know how to respond.

What made her even more sad was that Father Yang didn't pay any attention to her emotions. After he finished speaking, he immediately turned to Chen Peiduo and said, "Let's go. School will be over soon. If you are late, Yi Yi will be angry."

"Yes, yes, let's go, let's go." Chen Peiduo did the same, and the couple ran to pick up Yang Weiyi in a good mood.

I watched my parents pass away just like that.

Yang Wanwan stared at the door in a daze, not knowing how long she had been there. She got up and walked to her room, took out her cell phone and tablet and placed them on the table.

Then, he picked up his mobile phone and started searching for news related to "Xu Xiyu".

At the same time, she turned on the tablet's note function and started to write down the key points of the news related to Xu Xiyu, as well as those comments that she thought were good compliments, with a stylus.

These are the homework her father gave her.

Record more of Xu Xiyu's dynamics so that you will have material to make Xu Xiyu happy. Not only that, you should also analyze Xu Xiyu's personality and interests so that you can cater to his preferences during the chat.

As I was remembering this, a tear suddenly fell on the tablet screen.

Soon, a hand with fair skin and calluses on the fingertips quickly wiped away the tears on the screen.

But the problem is, just after I wiped them away, new tears fell down, and the number was increasing, and it seemed that I could never wipe them away.

As it was wiping, the hand suddenly grabbed the edge of the tablet.

With a "bang", the tablet fell to the ground.

On the shattered screen, there were still several rows of recorded file icons displayed. Each icon contained the so-called "homework" done by Yang Wanwan.

On the other side, Jeffrey was also smashing things.

"Damn Netflix, why did you come at this time instead of earlier? Aren't you deliberately making the negotiation more difficult for me?"
