Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 110 6000 million! "Return of the Pearl" is a big hit, and I made the money!

"What? Still the reserve price is 30 million?"

"According to the current information, there are quite a few people who have offered 40 million, and there are also quite a few powerful people who have offered more than 50 million."

"Is the news accurate?"

"It should be accurate. Some advertising agencies simply use this as a gimmick to show their strength and attract more manufacturers."

"Fuck! Are these people crazy?"

"This ad is just like that. The big boss, Tang Kin-chiu, has also come out to speak."

"What did he say?"

"Just criticize "Return of the Condor Heroes". It's a bad movie. It's totally unacceptable."

"Hey, so he's still on our side?"

"Well... after that, Kevin Tang kept saying how great his own films were."

"Damn! This guy is really good at finding opportunities!"

Shili is so angry.

He has been feeling unhappy ever since the College Student Film Festival.

He doesn't seem to care much about what's going on on his side.

But as long as I heard that Ma Xun and the others had gained some benefits, I would feel more painful than killing him.

Dig out this bastard's girlfriend!

As long as he makes a successful movie, he will dig out the male and female protagonists in it!

The film "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" happened to be shot when Guan Peng was about to make a new film.

This film is of that type, and Liu Ye is just right for it, so dig him up!
But it seems that the power is not very great.

Keep digging!
We also need to dig into the project that Chen Hong is going to work on!
Shi Li felt that there was an advantage to doing this, which was that it could have a deterrent effect.

Whoever cooperates with Ma Xun will be my enemy!

I'm going to deal with you!

This method... is indeed too insidious.

But he is such a jerk.

But here comes the news again.

There is big business over at Ma Xun again!

In 1998, a business worth 5000 million was definitely not small.

Shi Li was so angry...that he felt like he couldn't breathe.

"Boss, take care of yourself."

"I can still hold on! Do you have any good ideas?"

Guan Peng has been trying to find out information, but there aren't many solutions...

Actually, we can’t say that there isn’t one.

For example, just spend a lot of money to buy this patch advertisement.

Tens of millions, and then we will play the whiteboard in our advertisement.

Disgusting audience.

But such means really cannot be used.

One is that it is too expensive and the cost is too high, which is equivalent to burning tens of millions of dollars directly.

Moreover, no one knows how much damage Tsushima has done to them.

In this way, it seems that only...

"It seems we can only curse. I heard from the TV station that if the ratings of this drama are low, then Ma Xun will have to pay the TV station."

"Ah? This guy actually signed such a contract? Hahaha... Fine! Then let's curse him! Find someone for me! Find someone with the most destructive writing skills to curse this drama! Oh, and curse all dramas related to him in the future!"

"OK, boss."

Guan Peng got the order and went to work, but Shi Li had only one thought:
We can’t let this guy Ma Xun get away with it!
……

The more ideal, the more skinny the reality.

Shi Lu’s idea was nice, but unfortunately, Ma Xun was already feeling very comfortable.

Almost all the advertising agencies that had participated in the bidding before gave their quotations.

Several capable people all offered more than 5000 million!
This result is really pleasing to the eye.

Sun Donghai was so excited.

He remembers that we still have the right to replay it.

Of course, some people also come to our door on their own initiative.

"Hey, my two brothers, didn't we agree on this before? 4000 million!"

Bai Daqing couldn't help it, he really had to come.

Didn’t we have a good discussion before? Wasn’t it 40 million?

How can we get 5000 million now?
His statement is indeed quite powerful.

But before Ma Xun could say anything, Sun Donghai spoke first.

"Brother Bai, times are changing. We just talked about it back then, but we didn't make a final decision at that time, right?"

"That's true, but considering our friendship, isn't 4500 million enough?"

"Brother Bai, you don't know that we are under a lot of pressure this time."

"What pressure?"

"The contract we signed with Director Wang of the TV station was a betting contract. Simply put, if the ratings are low, we will have to pay the TV station 1000 million.

"Please calculate carefully, is 5000 million too much?"

"This……"

When Bai Daqing heard that he had to pay the TV station 1000 million, he was immediately speechless.

It’s just simple addition and subtraction.

It is true that we did negotiate a minimum guarantee of 4000 million at the beginning.

But now things have changed, and we still have to give the TV station 10 million.

Add them all together and it’s 5000 million!

Before Bai Daqing came, he thought that he could play the emotional card.

Adding another 500 million would be about right.

I didn't expect such a thing to happen.

This……

Seeing that Bai Daqing's mouth was blocked, Sun Donghai was overjoyed.

He even thought that Ma Xun must have taken this into account when he talked to Director Wang.

It's such a big business, we can't be bound by any emotions.

Talking about money hurts feelings, and talking about feelings hurts money.

How to choose?
Then I would definitely choose hurt feelings.

Qian is so cute, who would have the heart to hurt him?

At this time, Ma Xun spoke.

"Brother Bai, there have indeed been many changes this time, but we are good friends after all. Sun Donghai and I have also discussed that we will only handle the business work, and leave it mainly to Bai Xiaohang. Don't worry, I will definitely not treat him unfairly."

My brother?

Bai Daqing's expression was very strange.

Of course he understood what Ma Xun meant.

Bai Xiaohang is in charge of the business. If he succeeds in the end, we will give him a share of the profits and we will certainly not treat him unfairly.

However, you, Bai Daqing, also have to be clear about the accounts for this agency business, right?

We should just do what we should do.

If you, Bai Daqing, have already discussed it with your brother in private, that's fine too, everything that belongs to you is yours.

Yes, that's what it means.

Ma Xun cleverly resolved Bai Daqing's emotional card, coupled with the verbal agreement that everyone had reached before.

Let me put it this way, if Bai Daqing had directly bid 20 million and signed a contract with Ma Xun and Sun Donghai.

There’s no doubt about it. This time, all the commercials for “Return of the Condor Heroes” are from you, Bai Daqing.

Just transfer the balance and it'll be done.

But, you didn’t do that.

At this point, Bai Daqing also realized that he couldn't get any advantage.

Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to turn against these two.

He laughed and said, "Now that you put it that way, I understand everything! We brothers must still cooperate in the future. I will go talk to my brother this time."

"That's for sure."

"Yes, have a good talk with Bai Xiaohang. We haven't decided yet. As long as the price is similar, it's yours, Brother Bai."

"Ha, that's great."

Just like that, Bai Daqing left.

He was so angry that he could not vent his anger, so he had to go find his brother.

Ma Xun and Sun Donghai looked at each other and smiled.

In business, don’t talk about feelings.

But soon after, some bad news came out.

"Dramas like 'Return of the Pearl' are just rubbish!"

"The performance is exaggerated and the costumes and props are shoddy!"

"What the hell is "My Fair Princess"?!"

I don’t know which newspaper started it, but someone was cursing.

Moreover, the curse was particularly fierce.

After a drama achieved good results with high ratings.

There will definitely be people who say it’s not good, and that’s fine.

But, if some media come out and belittle it to death.

This is definitely not normal.

If a drama is really as bad as they criticize, then it is impossible for this drama to achieve high ratings.

Only good plays can bring high revenues. This is a basic logic.

It doesn’t mean that dramas with high ratings cannot be criticized.

There is nothing perfect in this world, there are always advantages and disadvantages.

However, dramas with high ratings are definitely not useless and shoddy.

To put it bluntly, you can curse, but if you curse too much without any bottom line, it is obviously a problem. When this situation came out, Sun Donghai panicked first.

"Brother, will this affect the ratings? Also, who the hell did this? They must have done this on purpose to disgust us!"

Obviously, he could see it too.

Ma Xun chuckled and said just one sentence.

"Let them scold."

Sun Dong couldn't help but admire Ma Xun's courage.

He felt relieved.

……

However, Bai Daqing returned with failure from Ma Xun and Sun Donghai.

He indeed found his biological brother immediately.

But don't want to...

"Hang, what are you busy with every day?"

"Of course I'm busy with the recent big business."

"No, I am your brother and the big agent."

"That's true, but your bid is not very competitive."

"You...you, I'm your brother."

"Then if you raise it to around 5500 million, we can negotiate."

"Ah? You, you're going to settle the account with me, right?"

"My brother, I am not here to settle accounts with you. This is not just my business."

To be honest, Bai Daqing knew he was wrong.

But 5500 million is too much money!

This is not the last one, "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" broadcasted by 33 local TV stations together.

Now it’s just a TV station.

Although many people are optimistic about this drama, it is just a rebroadcast after all.

Both Bai Daqing and Yu Xiaosheng made money from the play "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

The effect was very good after it was broadcast.

Many advertisers also want to add it, and even some big manufacturers who are late to the party rush to grab it.

Judging from the performance of the drama throughout the year, it would be no problem for Bai Daqing to earn tens of millions.

But now there is only one TV station showing this drama, 5500 million?
The pressure is too much!
The possibility of making money is too small.

Can’t your younger brother just relax?

"Hang, can you please help me talk? I think Ma Xun will listen to you if you talk."

Playing the emotional card again.

Bai Xiaohang's neck stiffened, "Brother, you are making it difficult for me! Besides, what can I say? Do you think that millions of dollars will come out of my mouth if I open my mouth? How is that possible?"

Don't say it, you really don't say it.

From these words, it can be seen that Bai Xiaohang is much stronger than before.

Bai Daqing feels strange now.

On the one hand, I feel that my younger brother has grown up.

On the other hand, there is some hatred.

I'm your brother, and you treat me like this.

Talking about money really hurts feelings.

……

"Return of the Condor Heroes" was finally sold for more than 6000 million yuan.

He was taken down by Yu Xiaosheng, Pu Shulin, and Duan Yongping.

Duan Yongping's appearance was somewhat surprising, but not that surprising.

Bubugao has been on a strong attack this year.

The company is now making great progress in the learning machine and VCD markets.

Last year, CCTV spent more than 8 million yuan on advertising bidding.

Now I have also seen the potential of "Return of the Condor Heroes".

Without hesitation, he took out more than 20 million.

So, these are two advertising agencies and a manufacturer.

They took away the advertising space for this drama on Beijing TV.

So, what will the final broadcast look like?

"Mr. Ma, of course we believe you, but right now there are a lot of negative comments about Return of the Pearl."

After signing the contract, Duan Yongping said this.

Ma Xun laughed, "Boss Duan, it's just a few flies buzzing."

When this was said, everyone was happy.

Since Mr. Ma said so, there should be no problem!

Although Ma Xun is still hiding very well now, he is really famous in the business and advertising circles.

Many big bosses know him.

In short, Ma Xun is a powerful person.

Since he said so, it should be reliable.

In this way, "Return of the Pearl" was broadcast on Beijing TV.

Of course, we also need to organize some small activities.

Although it is a rebroadcast, it is nice to allow the creators of "Return of the Condor Heroes" to interact with the audience.

In fact, Ma Xun felt that these things were superfluous.

Just play it!

Finally, "Return of the Pearl" began to be rebroadcast on Beijing TV.

The ratings skyrocketed!

The ratings for the first broadcast exceeded 35% and are still rising.

Just looking at this data, everyone is jealous and embarrassed.

Director Wang’s face was full of smiles.

But inside he is actually very weird.

The ratings are high, so of course it’s awesome, and all the advertisers are rushing to grab it!

However, Ma Xun and his friends will not be able to receive the 1000 million.

Forget it, it’s just ten million, I don’t care.

Director Wang doesn’t care about 10 million, so what’s the ratings like?
40%!

On the fourth day of broadcasting, this data was surpassed!

It immediately surpassed Hunan TV Station 2 and set a new viewership record so quickly.

It’s really amazing!

The one who was even happier was Duan Yongping.

I didn't expect this drama to exceed my expectations.

All in all, about 30% is acceptable.

After all, at this time, Jingcheng TV represents the Beijing market!
The one who felt most uncomfortable was actually Yu Xiaosheng.

If I had known earlier, I would have just taken it over directly and then negotiated with manufacturers like Duan Yongping myself.

You can earn a lot more.

But the one who felt even more uncomfortable was Bai Daqing.

Slap your thigh!

If I had known this earlier, I would have given it my all!
But fortunately, Bai Daqing was not the one who suffered the most.

If we talk about the most uncomfortable one, it must be Shili.

It is said that on the day when "Return of the Condor Heroes" was first broadcast, he broke many cups in Tianshang Renjian.

But is this play only 40%?
Of course not!
When "Return of the Pearl" was broadcast to its finale on Beijing TV.

He flew straight into the sky.

47%!

This viewership rating directly set a record for Beijing TV.

In fact, the audience really likes this drama.

Now many viewers have made up a lot of rhymes for this play.

What is Little Swallow Flying and the Fifth Prince Chasing...

There are a lot more.

All in all, it was really welcome.

Ma Xun knew it in his heart, and he did not deny that this play was a classic.

To be honest, if the big-eyed thief hadn't happened later.

Or, this guy might just announce his retirement after this drama.

That little swallow is really perfect.

Unfortunately, she changed later.

When Teacher Li Qiming talked about this "change", the old lady was very sad.

It was obvious that she was truly heartbroken.

Because of this drama, the old lady would be scolded whenever she went out on the street. But she didn't feel very sad at that time. Instead, she thought that the drama was good and it was great that everyone liked it.

He said that when people scolded him, he would just laugh.

Of course, there are also people who like to show off.

For example, the scowling Tielin said this in an interview:

I don’t understand why Princess Zhuzhu became so popular, because the performance was so exaggerated…

Exaggerated?

You are the most pretentious one, and you still have the nerve to say that!
Regarding this drama, actually if everyone likes it, there is nothing wrong with it.

As for what happened to the people in the play later, they were not real characters in the play anyway.

And now... this drama is destined to be a hit.

The money was earned by me, Ma Xun, and this is the most important thing!
