Chapter 64: A pure and innocent villain(1/2)
"We provide 260 million!"
While Chi Jiang was still regretting that he should have agreed yesterday, Su Liangcai spoke directly.
Chi Jiang looked at Su Liangcai, who had increased the price, with fire in his eyes.
Chi Jiang: "270 million!"
Su Liangcai also stared at Chi Jiang with some evil eyes at this time.
"Mr. Chi, with your G station currently having more than 30 million members, the 270 million investment in the drama may be too risky. Are you not afraid that you will not be able to recoup the cost?"
Chi Jiang responded with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Su. Of course, we at Station G have our own considerations."
Seeing this, Su Liangcai was too lazy to talk nonsense with Chi Jiang and continued to say:
Su Liangcai: "280 million!"
Chi Jiang: "290 million!"
Chi Jiang had almost no hesitation in continuing to raise prices after Su Liangcai. But in fact, he was secretly cursing in his mind that the people in Tudou Video were indeed a bunch of gamblers.
After all, I have worked with Xu Ji before, and I trust Xu Ji's abilities very much. I only dared to make an offer after reading the script.
But the other party just read the script and actually dared to take such a big risk to buy a drama that has not yet started filming.
Sure enough, there is a reason why Tudou Video can compete with Penguin and Kiwi.
Su Liangcai: "300 million!"
When Chi Jiang heard that the other party shouted that the exclusive broadcast rights were worth 300 million, he finally stopped with a look of embarrassment on his face.
It's not that he doesn't want to keep shouting.
Mainly because G station does not have as high a budget for film and television copyrights as video platforms such as Tudou Video.
The number of members of G station is only over 30 million, while Tudou Video has as many as 150 million paying users. The two are not at the same level.
As for Penguin Video and Kiwi, they have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years. Currently, Penguin Video is currently in the lead with the largest number of members, 300 million, while Kiwi has about 270 million members.
Chi Jiang felt really regretful at this time.
He was obviously the one who came first!
"310 million!"
Chi Jiang gritted his teeth and finally continued to raise the price by 10 million online.
Su Liangcai also hesitated at this time. After all, Tudou Video was not as good as Penguin Video and Kiwi Video.
Many times for those high-quality dramas, once the two companies start bidding, Tudou Video can only watch helplessly.
Therefore, every film and television copyright fee from Tudou Video must be spent carefully and wisely.
"320 million!"
Su Liangcai said.
This is already the highest price Tudou Video can pay.
If there are more, then the original copyright fee plan for new dramas this quarter will be affected.
They can't spend the whole season just talking about the broadcast rights of Xu Ji.
"330 million!"
Chi Jiang said.
Su Liangcai looked at the other party with hatred and couldn't help but curse.
"Where did you get so much money?!"
Chi Jiang responded directly:
"I want you to take care of it!"
Chi Jiang was also feeling miserable at this time.
Because this time he invested almost all the money allocated from above on Xu Ji.
It is equivalent to directly stamping Xu Ji.
Originally, Chi Jiang expected that this money would allow G Station to launch at least four or five new dramas.
"You win."
Su Liangcai spoke helplessly.
Tudou Video’s film and television copyright budget is indeed much higher than that of G Station.
But the other party couldn't put everything into one drama like Chi Jiang.
We also have to consider the number of new dramas on the entire website in the future.
But Chi Jiang did not need to worry about this, and finally won the copyright battle.
"Mr. Chi, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
Chi Jiang smiled uglier than crying and shook hands with Xu Ji.
This time, in a few days, I only had to spend 250 million, but now I have spent 80 million more.
Chi Jiang's heart is bleeding.
What a pure injustice.
In the end, Xu Ji continued to cooperate with Station G and received 330 million in exclusive broadcast copyright fees from the other party.
If combined with the entire Fairy Sword, it would be equivalent to a price of 10 million per episode.
In terms of film and television copyright fees in the entire industry, it is considered to be at the top of the list.
Of course, companies like Penguin Video and Kiwi once set a terrifying copyright record of 1.3 billion as they competed for the exclusive broadcast rights of a drama.
In the end, Penguin Video also relied on that drama to successfully surpass Kiwi in terms of membership and become the leader today.
However, the copyright fee is too high, and the corresponding risks also become greater.
Therefore, for dramas that are obviously very expensive, these video platforms will choose the form of splitting the copyright fee plus paying members.
This was the case in Fan Wenquan's "The Legend of Yunque".
And it proves that Penguin Video didn’t buy the copyright directly, otherwise it would have definitely suffered a loss.
Of course, it is also because Xu Ji himself needs to sell the copyright in advance to raise the investment of Xianjianyi. Otherwise, Xu Ji would rather choose to cooperate with G station in the form of split accounts.
......
Chi Jiang left Rongcheng, and Youman went to see him off.
Unexpectedly, Chi Jiang asked her to stay in Rongcheng and then work as a co-producer on the crew of Sword and Sword One.
This made Youman hesitate to speak.
She was originally thinking about when she would hand over the work of Tongji Entertainment to Xu Ji and then return to the G station headquarters.
Okay, there’s no need to go back now.
I can justifiably continue to stay at Tongji Entertainment.
......
"Xiao Xuzi, can you always come and help me?"
In the spacious living room, Sha Yetong, who was wearing a dust hat, held a broom on his waist and shouted towards Xu Ji who was lying on the sofa.
Xu Ji finally moved out of the narrow and dilapidated rental house.
Moreover, he and Sha Yetong became roommates.
"I moved all the things, and you are responsible for cleaning. This is what we agreed before."
Xu Ji has no intention of moving at all.
I moved my body and continued to lie down in a more comfortable position.
"I'm a girl, can you be a bit more gentlemanly?"
Xu Ji stabbed his knife and said, "I can't tell."
After Sha Yetong heard Xu Ji's words, he subconsciously puffed up his proud chest.
"It's so obvious. Is there something wrong with your eyes?"
Xu Ji glanced at it subconsciously, and then was stunned for a moment.
He has never noticed why this little girl is a little older than when she was in college? Is there a second growth?
After noticing Xu Ji's gaze, Sha Yetong realized that her action was inappropriate, and a shy blush appeared on her face.
Xu Ji coughed awkwardly and took the initiative to change the topic.
"By the way, is the second episode of Good Songs going to be broadcast today?"
......
