Chapter 32 Exclusive Online Broadcasting Rights
Hengdian World Studios in Zhejiang Province was the filming location for the TV series "Chinese Paladin 3".
A black Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan came to a smooth stop outside the film set.
Li Feng, accompanied by Zhang Xinyu and several attendants including Lao Han, strode into the film set.
Cai Yinong, the head of Tangren Media, had already received the news behind the crew's monitor.
Although she couldn't figure out the purpose of this internet upstart's sudden visit, she naturally didn't dare to be negligent in the face of such a super-rich patron who was worth over 100 million and could even be praised by CCTV. She immediately greeted him with a big smile.
"Oh, Mr. Li! I never expected you to take time out of your busy schedule to visit our humble film crew. It's such an honor for us!" Mr. Cai warmly extended his hand.
"Ms. Cai, you're too kind. Tangren products are always top-notch." Li Feng smiled and shook hands with her.
The two sat down under a makeshift sunshade next to the film set, and the crew quickly brought them the best tea.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, General Manager Cai tentatively asked, "I heard that General Manager Li came here in person this time because he has a big business deal to discuss? Could it be that Haofeng Films is also interested in getting into the ancient costume fantasy genre and wants to co-produce a new project with Tangren Media?"
"Co-productions are too troublesome; I prefer things that are readily available."
Li Feng picked up his teacup, blew on the floating leaves, and went straight to the point, "President Cai, I want the exclusive online streaming rights for all three dramas: 'Chinese Paladin 1,' 'The Little Fairy,' and 'Chinese Paladin 3,' which you're currently filming."
Mr. Cai's hand, which was holding a teacup, froze in mid-air, and he was completely stunned.
She had initially thought Li Feng was going to spend tens of millions to buy the TV station's distribution rights, and she was already planning how to refuse him.
So... they just bought the exclusive online rights?!
"Mr. Li, you...you're not joking, are you?" Mr. Cai's expression was quite interesting.
In this era where pirated videos are everywhere and Xunlei downloads are rampant, major video websites can't even recoup their GG fees, so who would spend real money to buy exclusive online copyrights?
This thing doesn't even amount to a fraction of Tangren Media's financial statements!
"No joke." Li Feng put down his teacup, his gaze deep. "I won't calculate it for you by episode. One price, five million RMB. The permanent exclusive online broadcasting rights for these three dramas belong to Haofeng Network. You'll keep every penny of the money from traditional TV stations. It's like I'm giving you five million RMB in pure profit for free."
"hiss--"
Five million! Enough to buy the online streaming rights to a few TV dramas?!
President Cai gasped, looking at Li Feng as if he were a rich fool who was burning money.
Five million! That's almost the production cost of most of a low-to-medium budget TV series! Just to buy a bunch of data that's available online for anyone to pirate?!
"Mr. Li is truly...wealthy and insightful!"
Fearing Li Feng might back out, General Manager Cai smiled so broadly his face was wrinkled, without even a second's hesitation, "No problem! We can sign the exclusive online rights for these three dramas today! From now on, these three dramas will be the private property of your Haofeng Network on the internet!"
Five million? Of course he knew the current market price; these three films bundled together would cost no more than three million. In his previous life, Youku would have only spent two million on two films at this time. But he was here to inflate prices.
The doubled price would not only make Hao Feng an instant star in the film and television industry, but also disrupt the plans of several other companies that wanted to acquire the exclusive online broadcasting rights. As long as someone wants to sell the exclusive broadcasting rights, the first person they will think of will be Hao Feng!
Thinking of this, Li Feng's smile deepened.
What others see as wasteland will become a priceless treasure worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in a few years.
Having finished his business, Li Feng stood up, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over the center of the film set not far away, where action scenes were being filmed using wire work.
There, Yang Mi, dressed in a red theatrical costume and sporting her signature curly hair, was sweating profusely as she brandished a prop sword.
"Mr. Cai, let the legal department handle the copyright issue."
Li Feng straightened his suit cuffs, a playful smile playing on his lips. "I'm here at your production team today because I also want to visit one of my employees. I heard she's been quite busy, not even having time to report to headquarters, so as her boss, I had to come in person to invite her."
Upon hearing Li Feng's words and following his gaze, Cai Yinong's heart skipped a beat.
She was a shrewd person; how could she not hear the hidden sarcasm in the young sugar daddy's words?
......
This is the center of the film set at this moment.
"Cut! That's a wrap! All departments, take a ten-minute break!" With the director's shout, Yang Mi was slowly lowered down from mid-air by wires.
As soon as she landed, she was covered in sweat. Her assistant quickly ran over to untie her harness and handed her a towel and ice water.
"Sister Mi, over there... it looks like our new boss has arrived." The assistant lowered her voice and nervously gestured towards the awning.
Yang Mi paused slightly as she wiped her sweat, following her assistant's gaze.
When she saw the young man in a bespoke suit, surrounded by Tangren CEO Cai Yinong like a star, her heart skipped a beat.
That man was too young, and he had too much presence.
He was accompanied by a cold and aloof female secretary whose looks and figure were in no way inferior to those of female celebrities in the industry. The oppressive feeling of someone who had been in a superior position for a long time could be felt from a distance.
"Why did he personally come all the way to Hengdian...?"
Yang Mi muttered to herself, feeling a little guilty.
Just a few days ago, I sent my assistant to make up some excuse not to report for duty, but I never expected that this big boss would actually show up at the film set.
However, Yang Mi has been in the entertainment industry for so long that she has excellent mental fortitude.
She took a deep breath, put on a sweet and innocent smile, and walked quickly toward the sunshade.
"Oh dear, Mr. Li! Look at the mess you've made! Why didn't you let me know beforehand that you were coming to visit the set? I could have picked you up outside!"
Yang Mi walked up to Li Feng, her tone a mix of coquettishness and apology, and skillfully made up some rambling excuses: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Li. The crew has been rushing to meet the deadline every day lately, with non-stop night shoots. I really haven't been able to take a single day off. I was thinking of flying to the Shenzhen headquarters to report to you in person as soon as I had a little more free time in a few days..."
Faced with Yang Mi's impeccable words, Li Feng did not act like the new boss and get angry as she had expected.
On the contrary, Li Feng's expression was very calm, even with a gentle smile.
"It's alright."
Li Feng leaned back in his chair, looking at her calmly. "Ms. Yang is the future pillar of the company, so it's good that you're busy filming. Since you really can't find the time to report to the company, then I, as the boss, will have to personally 'move' the company to you."
