Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 86: Premiere rights for "Chinese Paladin" and Spring Festival Gala? (200+ subscription bonus!)
After spending two days with Xu Yi, Jiang Xin returned to the crew.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to spend a few more days with Xu Yi.

This guy is really such a rude person!
It’s as if she is someone else’s woman and he doesn’t know how to cherish her at all!
But Xu Yi knew that Jiang Xin had not yet been completely conquered by him.

Even if she didn't say it out loud, she must be feeling unhappy about the rumors about him.

But don’t say that for Jiang Xin’s sake, you will never mess with other women again.

He couldn't even acknowledge Jiang Xin as his official girlfriend.

So I had to use this method to force her to surrender!
Or at least leave her speechless!
But she was his woman after all, so Xu Yi didn't really stand up and kick her.

And he also has perfect control over his own strength.

Otherwise it would be terrible...

After Jiang Xin left, Xu Yi checked into the hotel again.

He basically changes hotels every once in a while.

He has changed several hotels now.

If this continues, he will probably stay in all the five-star hotels in Beijing!

But if you buy a house, you have to clean it and hire someone to cook.

The key is not to move to another location after each shot.

It's really inconvenient for him.

He also looked down on the small profits brought by rising housing prices.

Then after checking into the hotel, another beautiful woman came to the door.

It was Mr. Zhou, with whom I had met a few days before.

He had just won the Palme d'Or, so Mr. Zhou naturally came to congratulate him.

That's called politeness!

It’s a pity that Xu Yi has no interest in Xiaoyanzi, otherwise he would really like to try out how she expresses politeness.

And with his current status and the resources he has.

As long as he has that intention, I believe it is enough to make Xiaoyanzi take the initiative to show courtesy to him!

After all, the current Xiaoyanzi is not the future Megatron!
Even Alibaba was founded only a few years ago!
There are still ten years before it goes public in the United States!

Of course, even if Xiaoyanzi really becomes Megatron in the future.

In front of Xu Yi at that time, he must also be polite enough...

……

After winning three awards at the Cannes Film Festival, the application for "Chinese Paladin" to be broadcast on satellite TV was naturally approved.

Unlike other directors who secretly go abroad to participate in film festivals.

Xu Yi passed the review of the General Administration in a formal manner and then went to participate in the film festival.

Therefore, these major awards are also real political achievements for the leaders of the General Administration!

In addition, he was a student of Beijing Electric Power University, and could be considered a direct descendant of the General Administration.

When he was still a little star, those people could still block his review.

But now he has won the Palme d'Or.

Looking across the entire China, no director dares to say that he can surpass him in terms of honors.

The most important thing is that China has just joined the WTO not long ago.

We have just successfully applied for the Olympics.

Now is the time to showcase Chinese culture to the world.

If there is anyone who is so blind as to dare to make things difficult for this internationally renowned director over such a trivial matter as being on a satellite TV!
That's really stubborn!

But this is not without cost.

That is, Xu Yi had to attend the commendation meeting of the General Administration.

Fortunately, there is only one...

"Director Xu, our station is very interested in 'Chinese Paladin'. I wonder if Director Xu is willing to part with it?"

After the commendation meeting, Director Li from CCTV Production Center immediately pulled Xu Yi aside and said.

CCTV is a subordinate unit of the General Administration, so it must be present at the commendation ceremony.

And now Xu Yi has not only just won three awards in Cannes.

He is also a popular figure in the General Administration.

Plus, Xu Yi’s own popularity is there.

When the film "Chinese Paladin" was being reviewed, he, the director of the production center, also watched some of it.

Know the quality of this drama.

It can be said that if the application for satellite broadcasting had not been rejected, he would have wanted to buy this "Chinese Paladin" a long time ago!
"Director Li, even if I'm willing to sell it, can you afford it?"

Xu Yi knew that when CCTV purchased a TV series, it would buy all the copyrights.

But the cost of his "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was as high as 4500 million.

The average cost of one episode is 110 million.

This does not include his own salary.

And he can't be working in vain, right?

Making money is definitely a must.

So how much money is CCTV willing to pay to purchase all the copyrights of his "Chinese Paladin"?

"What about the first broadcast rights?"

Director Li asked again.

In fact, CCTV can afford to buy all the copyrights of "Chinese Paladin".

And there is a high probability that you will not lose money.

But this is not a question of whether you lose money or not.

At his position, the most important thing is stability.

Especially when making some important decisions.

"Of course this is no problem!"

Xu Yi agreed immediately.

Since CCTV is willing to adapt, that would be even better.

Because even if it is the first broadcast rights, the price will definitely not be low.

If we change to other TV stations, even provincial ones, we may not be able to afford it.

This is also the reason why no local TV station has contacted him even after "Chinese Paladin" was broadcast on satellite TV.

However, the specific price would definitely need to be negotiated. Then, a week later, CCTV reviewed "Chinese Paladin" from beginning to end again.

After confirming that there were no issues with the content and quality, he finally reached an agreement with Xu Yi on a price of 35 per episode to purchase the first broadcast rights of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

The price for 40 episodes is 1400 million.

This is equivalent to recovering one-third of the cost.

Just after signing the contract, Director Li made another request.

"Spring Festival Gala?"

Xu Yi was stunned.

That’s right, the request made by Director Li is to hope that he can participate in next year’s Spring Festival Gala!

"This is what the station director wants. You're a singer, so just sing a song when the time comes. Or if you want to perform a skit, that's fine too."

Director Li said with a smile.

Xu Yi is so popular now.

He also won an award at Cannes and became an internationally renowned director.

And he is not only a director but also a singer.

It would be such a waste not to go to Chunwang!
What’s more, this is not only the Director’s intention, but also the General Administration’s intention!
It is equivalent to another kind of recognition for Xu Yi!
You know, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala today are still very impressive!
It is not uncommon for someone to become famous overnight after appearing on the Spring Festival Gala!
"You already refused once last year. You can't refuse again this time, right?"

Seeing that Xu Yi seemed reluctant to agree, Director Li spoke again.

I went to see CCTV and they did invite Xu Yi to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala.

But that was only during the primaries.

Whether or not they can finally perform on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala depends on the results of the next few rounds of selection.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yi directly refused.

Of course, if Xu Yi agrees to participate in next year's Spring Festival Gala, he will definitely not need to go through the selection process again.

However, the content of the program still needs to be reviewed.

"Well... let me think about it."

Xu Yi hesitated.

To be honest, he didn't want to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

He doesn't need to rely on the Spring Festival Gala to boost his popularity.

In addition, the various selections and rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala are also very troublesome.

But the most important thing is the Spring Festival Gala’s review of the program content.

He didn't want to just go up there and sing a couple of songs and say a few positive words and be done with it.

Or let him do it.

But the prerequisite is that the money must be enough!

But it is well known that there is no money to be made for performing on the Spring Festival Gala.

Or at most give some subsidies...

……

A few days later, CCTV broadcast the trailer for "Chinese Paladin".

The broadcast date has also been set, which is July 7st, more than a month later.

The target group of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is young people, especially students.

So it would definitely be most appropriate to broadcast it during the summer vacation.

Xu Yi also requested that it be broadcast as soon as possible.

This way he can continue to sell the subsequent broadcast rights.

And there are the Olympics in August.

As the host country of the next Olympic Games, China will also perform at the closing ceremony of the Olympics.

Therefore, all Chinese people are paying special attention to this Olympic Games.

By the time "Chinese Paladin" is finished broadcasting, the Olympic Games will have just begun.

Then I saw the promotional video of "Chinese Paladin" broadcast by CCTV.

I learned that "Chinese Paladin" will be broadcast on CCTV next month.

Countless netizens who had been waiting for a long time were immediately excited!
"'Chinese Paladin'' is finally going to be aired!"

"Xu Yi is so handsome!"

"Liu Yifei is so beautiful!"

"Jingtian is so beautiful too!"

"Holy crap, these special effects are awesome!"

"Of course, after all, this is a Hollywood special effect!"

"A TV series hired a Hollywood special effects company to produce the special effects. This kind of thing is probably something only Xu Yi can do."

"It is said that the special effects alone for this "Chinese Paladin" cost 2000 million!"

"2000 million Chinese currency is only 250 million Midao, which is nothing to Xu Yi!"

"250 million is not even enough for his annual endorsement fee!"

It turned out that not long after Xu Yi returned to China, Coca-Cola and Metersbonwe, whose one-year endorsement period was about to expire, both came to him and wanted to renew their contracts with Xu Yi.

Since signing the endorsement contract with Xu Yi, Coca-Cola's sales in China have immediately increased slightly.

Especially the styles with Xu Yi’s photo printed on them are the best-selling ones.

And since Xu Yi’s second album was released and won an award at Cannes.

Coca-Cola's sales have skyrocketed!
The style printed with Xu Yi’s photo was almost sold out!
The most important thing is that it has suppressed its old rival Pepsi-Cola!
Therefore, they also attach great importance to this renewal!

As for Metersbonwe, there is no need to mention it!

Since signing Xu Yi, their sales have skyrocketed by hundreds of millions!

And the popularity has increased greatly!
Nowadays, there is almost no young person in China who doesn’t know about Metersbonwe!
So they no longer take the renewal of the contract with Xu Yi seriously!
But we must win!

As long as Xu Yi’s request is not too excessive, they will not refuse!
However, Xu Yi did not ask for too much.

As a reborn person, it is impossible for him to be short of money.

And with his current strength, the role of money to him will become smaller and smaller.

At the same time, I want to improve my martial arts skills to the perfect level, but the gap is too big.

So in the end he just doubled his endorsement fee.

That is 400 million US dollars a year, and the maximum contract period is two years.
