Longshi 8 Suites has an exclusive office building.
When Shen Mu and Ye Lan followed the assistant Ma Yang to a large and bright office, they waited for another ten minutes before they saw a figure arriving late.
Such treatment made Shen Mu and Ye Lan feel a little bad. At the same time, they thought of the words of the guard Lao Niutou, and they both felt that this trip might not go well.
"Haha, I'm really sorry, Director Shen, Miss Ye, I kept you waiting for so long!"
The visitor was also wearing a designer suit, and although he said apologetic words, there was a faint smile on his face, and the meaning could not be scrutinized.
Yu Hao, the content director of Longshi8, looks to be in his forties and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. At first glance, he looks like a very educated scholar.
To be able to sit in such a high position at such an age, I have to say that Yu Hao is indeed somewhat capable, but I wonder if he has any backing?
"There was indeed a very important meeting that I couldn't get away from just now, so please don't mind me!"
Yu Hao sat on his seat, and some of his thoughts could not be seen on the surface.
But these repeated apologies made Ye Lan, who originally wanted to say something, find it difficult to say anything more.
"Since Director Yu is so busy, let's hurry up and talk about business!"
Shen Mu calmly brought the topic to the main topic. He was here to do business today, not to have a casual conversation with this guy.
Moreover, Shen Mu's first impression of this Yu Hao was not very good. He had to talk more on top of business to know what the other person's plans were.
"Director Shen is really a hard worker!"
Yu Hao glanced at Shen Mu and saw that the other party was also looking at him. He smiled and said: "Okay, let's talk about business first!"
"Director Shen, Miss Ye, I have drafted a contract here. You can take a look at it first. If there are no problems, just sign it!"
This time Yu Hao did not delay. While he was speaking, the assistant Ma Yang beside him quickly took out a document from his bag and handed it to Shen Mu and Ye Lan.
This was what they came for, so the two of them didn't say anything more.
And when they opened the contract and saw some of the written conditions on it, their expressions couldn't help but change.
"Two hundred million? Buy out the copyright?"
Ye Lan couldn't help but scream out in surprise. Fortunately, Shen Mu next to her was quite calm and gently pressed her shoulder, which prevented her from having an attack immediately.
At this moment, neither Yu Hao nor Ma Yang spoke, nor did they care about Ye Lan's reaction. They seemed very confident and not afraid that the other party would not agree to their conditions.
"Director Ma, you want to buy out the copyright of Langya Bang for only 200 million. Isn't this a bit bullying?"
About ten minutes later, Shen Mu finally closed the contract document in his hand, raised his head, and asked the first question, which was also the question that Ye Lan wanted to explode just now.
Neither Ye Lan nor Shen Mu are newbies, especially Ye Lan. She is the boss of a brokerage company and is extremely familiar with the entertainment industry.
Although the investment in Langya Bang is only a little over 100 million, this drama is not considered a new drama now. It is a hit drama that has been tested by the market.
Only the first ten episodes were released, and they were broadcast on the Internet, and they have received billions of views. It has been called a phenomenon-level work in the past ten years and is sought after by the whole people.
In the past six months, people across the country have been eagerly awaiting the release of the remaining episodes of "The Wolf Fang" to fill the gap in their hearts.
For such a popular drama that is destined to set a real ratings record once it is released, you, Yu Hao, only paid 200 million. Do you really think that you are being taken advantage of?
"Shen Dianyan is serious!"
Yu Hao, who was very deep in the city, was not angry because of Shen Mu's ridicule. Instead, he showed a somewhat embarrassed look, as if he himself had suffered a lot of grievances.
"Director Shen, Miss Ye, you don't know something. Our station has been having a very difficult time recently!"
There was a trace of worry on Yu Hao's face, and he heard him say: "To tell you the truth, I was the one who introduced Prince's Revenge. Unfortunately, it was removed from the shelves for some reasons. This is not a loss!"
“Finally let’s get to the point!”
Shen Mu sneered in his heart. Fortunately, he had heard the guard say this before. Now that he heard Yu Hao say it himself, he was quite mentally prepared.
"Director Yu, according to what you said, you are going to put the blame for the crown prince's revenge on us?"
Ye Lan couldn't bear it any longer and asked directly.
You can't take down Prince's Revenge, so you have to make up for it on the Wolf Fang List, right?
"Director Yu, I can tell you that Sun Beitao brought this incident upon himself and it has nothing to do with us!"
Ye Lan became angrier as he spoke, and when he mentioned the words "Sun Beitao", he could clearly see a trace of hatred flashing through Yu Hao's eyes.
To be honest, although Yu Hao is more than ten years younger than Sun Beitao, the relationship between the two of them is indeed very good. It is not an exaggeration to call them friends who have been together forever.
In addition, there are some interests involved between the two. The TV series produced by Sun Beitao can always be released on the eight sets of Longshi, which is also inseparable from Yu Hao's support.
But now Sun Beitao is likely to spend the rest of his life in prison because of his temporary anger. This is both public and private, which makes Yu Hao heartbroken.
The man and woman in front of him are the culprits who sent Sun Beitao to prison.
So when Yu Hao heard that these two people were coming to find him, he felt that his opportunity had come.
On the one hand, you can take a good look at Shen Mu and Ye Lan, and on the other hand, you may be able to avenge your good friends from another angle.
"Director Sun, I heard someone say that you and Sun Beitao are good friends, so is this the reason why you are treating us like this today?"
Shen Mu's tone also became a little solemn. If Yu Hao really took personal feelings too seriously, then there might be nothing to talk about today.
"Director Sun and I are indeed old friends, but don't worry, I am a person who distinguishes between public and private matters. I will never mix personal feelings into the business matters I discuss today!"
No matter what Yu Hao is thinking, he will definitely not show it.
These words sounded righteous, but they only made Shen Mu and Ye Lan curl their lips.
If you, Yu Hao, could distinguish between public and private affairs, how could you have made yourself wait in the guard room for so long, and how could you have driven down the price of the Wolf Fang List so hard?
Anyone who knows the industry knows that the price of 200 million is definitely not the buyout price for the copyright of Langya Bang.
As the content director of LongTV 8, Yu Hao has introduced countless TV series over the years. It’s impossible that he doesn’t even understand the market conditions, right?
Therefore, both Shen Mu and Ye Lan felt that the other party was asking for a high price, and they needed to pay back the money, and finally negotiated a suitable price.
"Director Shen, if I'm not wrong, the overall investment in Langya Bang is only a little over 100 million at most, right?"
There was a glint in the depths of Yu Hao's eyes, and the words that came out of his mouth showed that he was by no means an amateur, but that he had an extremely good understanding of TV drama investment.
"So what?"
Ye Lan rolled his eyes. Although the other party's guess was correct, it was none of your business how much you invested in Langya Bang. Anyway, you couldn't buy it out if you offered 200 million.
"So, if our Longshi eight sets come out with Liangyi Buying Langya List, then you can still make 100 million!"
The assistant on the side, Ma Yang, spoke up and said everything Yu Hao wanted to say.
Perhaps in his opinion, if a TV series can earn 100 million, it is considered a huge bargain.
As Yu Hao's assistant, Ma Yang has seen many TV dramas over the years that cost a lot of money but ended up losing all their money.
A drama that can make 100 million yuan is nothing like a phoenix.
Moreover, before the TV series was even released, someone was willing to spend 200 million to buy it out. This is considered extremely courageous.
Because in this way, all the risks are transferred to Long Shi Ba Tai, or Yu Hao.
From Ma Yang's point of view, his boss is taking risks for you, Shen Mu. Are you still unwilling?
It’s just that they deliberately ignored the fact that Langya Bang is different from other TV series.
It is a hit drama that has been proven by the market. Once the remaining dramas are released, they will definitely be able to guarantee ratings.
Under such circumstances, Yu Hao bought it out for 200 million, which was definitely a sure-profit deal.
Now they are just calculating the cost with Shen Mu. They think that letting you earn 100 million is already considered generous by Longshi. What else are you dissatisfied with?
"Director Shen, I have a very important meeting waiting for you. You should make a decision quickly!"
Yu Hao seemed a little impatient in waiting, but with these words, the sneer in Ye Lan's eyes couldn't help but become a little more intense.
"600 million, give you the rights to broadcast on satellite TV!"
Just when Ye Lan almost went crazy, Shen Mu suddenly spoke.
He was not in the mood to bargain with the other party, and the words that came out of his mouth caused silence in the office.
Ye Lan didn't speak anymore, but Yu Hao and Ma Yang opposite him looked at Shen Mu in disbelief.
They all want to know where this guy got the courage to speak so loudly?
"Shen Mu, are you crazy?"
After a brief moment of silence and shock, assistant Ma Yang began to call him by his first name, because the price really frightened him.
Perhaps since the establishment of LongTV Eight, it has never spent so much money to introduce a TV series, right?
It's just a TV series, why is it worth 600 million?
And it’s just a satellite TV broadcasting right. Do you really think that our LongTV eight sets are taken advantage of?
At this time, Yu Hao didn't speak. There was a hint of amusement on his face, and he just watched Shen Mu's performance quietly.
Perhaps Yu Hao had already known that this would be the result, but he had some alternative confidence.
For some things, you don’t necessarily just look at the surface, you also have to look at whose wrist is stronger.
