Chapter 727 Additional Publicity Funds

Xue Zihan asked in surprise: "What kind of operating space?"

Sun Quan smiled faintly, "I'll tell you this later. You should sign the agreement with Youku first!"

Xue Zihan: "This..."

After a pause, "Okay! You have the final say, so I really signed it?"

Sun Quan laughed, "Yeah."



That night, Sun Quan sat in front of the computer in his study on the second floor and held a video conference with Xue Zihan, Wang Zheng, and Tao Yujuan. Recently, the frequency of video conferences between them has been a bit high.

There is no other way. Xianyu Film and Television, which they collaborated with, has had nothing major to do recently except for the distribution of the drama "The Last Wish of the Dead", especially Wang Zheng.

Tao Yujuan is a little better. She is currently managing the daily operations of Xianyu Film and Television Company.

Where is Wang Zheng?

As a director, he has not been filming recently. He is resting at home and spending time with his wife. Regarding the second season of "Dead Man's Last Wish", it is not yet time to start filming.

Firstly, we need to wait for the reputation and popularity after the first season is broadcast, and secondly... the script for the second season is being written, and the script has not been finalized yet, so the filming will naturally be postponed.

correct.

The script for the second season is this time handled by Sun Quan’s Salted Fish Studio.

The professional screenwriter who previously wrote the script for the first season was poached by Fu Lei to work at Xianyu Studio.

You don’t have to come to Xianyu Studio to take classes, but you need to submit your work on time.

Because of this matter, Fu Lei specially reported it to Sun Quan.

She told Sun Quan: "Since Mr. Sun, you are now a film and television company, and the company's name is in the same line as Xianyu Studio, then Xianyu Studio should start the business of screenwriting, otherwise, all the films produced by Xianyu Film and Television in the future will

Movies and TV dramas are all scripts written by outside screenwriters. If word spreads about it, whether it will be criticized or not, someone will definitely laugh at our Xianyu Studio."

She also said: "In order to ensure the continuity of the plot of "Dead Man's Last Wish", I plan to recruit the screenwriter of the first season of this drama to the studio with a high salary. By the way, I will also let the people in the studio learn how to write scripts.

, kill two birds with one stone!”

Sun Quan thought her idea was a good one.

I agreed.

Fu Lei originally wanted the screenwriter to work in the studio, but the screenwriter was used to freedom and could not accept working in the studio. Fu Lei had no choice but to take a step back and agreed that the screenwriter would not have to work in the studio.

But when she turned back and reported the matter to Sun Quan again, she said: "Mr. Sun, this is what I think. When the scripts for the second two seasons of "The Last Wish of the Dead" are finished, if that guy still doesn't

If he is willing to work in our studio, then I will fire him. I believe that as long as we are willing to pay, there will be screenwriters outside who are willing to work in our studio."

This time, Sun Quan did not completely agree with her opinion.

This is what he told her at the time: "Don't be so heartless. When all three seasons of this drama are finished filming, if nothing else happens, the popularity and reputation of this drama should be good. As the screenwriter of our drama, that person will also

It should have accumulated a lot of popularity. At this time, if he is fired, it will be us who lose, so if you can use it, let’s use it first! Don’t be too pushy about sitting in the studio. If you really want to train the gunners in the studio

, just hire another screenwriter, or hire a screenwriting teacher for them and train them for a period of time."

Fu Lei was convinced by him.



In front of the computer, Sun Quan lowered his head, took out a cigar and lit it.

In the video, Xue Zihan asked: "Ah Quan, you said on the phone today that we still have room to operate. What are you going to do? Refresh the data? If this is the idea, I suggest you don't do it. Once you cool

If they find something, we can’t expect any subsequent royalties, it’s not worth it!”

Tao Yujuan frowned: "Brushing data? Isn't that bad?"

In the video, Wang Zheng was not in a hurry to speak. He lit a cigarette calmly. Although he frowned slightly, he just looked at Sun Quan in the video and waited for Sun Quan to speak.

Sun Quan looked up at the three of them, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Of course not! I never brush up on data when writing novels, and now I don't do web dramas either!"

Xue Zihan looked puzzled, "Then what other ideas do you have?"

Sun Quan: "Let's use another amount of publicity expenses to advertise this show! For example, the Qidian Chinese website where I am currently writing a book, I think... as long as we give money, it should be possible. There are also other websites

, in short, we can choose a few websites with more dramas for young people and put some advertisements on them, I believe there should be good results!"

"Are you still investing money in it?"

Tao Yujuan was the first to speak out, her brows already furrowed.

Xue Zihan and Wang Zheng also frowned.

Xue Zihan: "Ah Quan, how much money do you plan to spend on publicity?"

Sun Quan: "I'll contact Qidian tomorrow to see how much advertising money is needed, and then decide how much advertising money we will spend this season."

Xue Zihan: "This..."

She frowned and looked at Wang Zheng, "Brother Zheng, what do you think? What's your opinion?"

Wang Zheng took a puff of cigarette, frowned and said with narrowed eyes: ""The Last Wish of the Dead" was published on the Qidian website, well... so the fans of this book are basically on this website, and Ah Quan wants to be on this website.

I think we should do publicity. If the advertising effect is good, the publicity funds we invest on this website should be able to earn back after our drama is aired online. But... if we go to other websites to advertise,

I think we need to discuss which websites to choose. Well, this is my opinion."

Sun Quan nodded slightly and smiled, "Brother Zheng, don't worry! In addition to this website, I will not decide which websites to choose from other websites alone. We can all make suggestions and then discuss and decide together."

When Wang Zheng heard this, he also smiled and said, "Okay, in this case, I have no objection. Zihan, Yujuan, don't be so stingy. These days are no longer the age where the smell of wine is not afraid of the dark alleys. One product can be made

, If you want to have good sales, you must promote it. If you don’t want to let go of your children, you won’t be able to trap the wolf, what do you think?”

Unexpectedly, he immediately helped Sun Quan persuade Xue Zihan and Tao Yujuan, regardless of his own agreement.

Xue Zihan pondered and said nothing for a while.

Tao Yujuan looked at her and asked, "Zihan, what's your opinion?"

Xue Zihan looked at her and smiled slightly, "Well, what Ah Quan and Brother Zheng said makes sense. Although Youku promised to give us two good recommendations for this drama, after all, they are only on the Youku website.

, Apart from being cool, the other party has not promised to provide us with publicity, so... OK! I also agree with Ah Quan, we have to spend another amount of money as publicity funds, and I agree."

Sun Quan smiled.

He knew that Wang Zheng and Xue Zihan agreed, and Tao Yujuan's opinion was not important.

Because whether it is based on everyone's shareholding or the traditional principle of the minority obeying the majority, Tao Yujuan alone cannot object to something that he, Wang Zheng, and Xue Zihan agree on.

Of course, he is still willing to give the face that should be given, "Sister Tao, what's your opinion? Do you agree?"

Tao Yujuan laughed, "You all agreed, why are you asking me? Agree! I agree too. Is that okay?"

Everyone agreed, and all four of them smiled.

Sun Quan looked at the three of them and said with a smile: "Then let's talk about it. Later, you all think about which websites are more suitable for promoting our drama. I will contact Qidian tomorrow and ask about advertising on Qidian.

Tomorrow night, let’s hold a video conference at the same time to discuss the cost! Is that okay?”

Xue Zihan: "Okay! No problem!"

Tao Yujuan: "Well, that's no problem for me either."

Wang Zheng: "Okay! That's it."



The next morning.

Sun Quan and Yuan Shuiqing walked away with their three children. After returning home and having breakfast, they wandered to Xianyu Studio holding a tea cup.

Come to the office on the second floor as usual.

Turn on the computer, log on to QQ, and find Lao Yi, the vice president of Qidian.

Qidian currently has several vice presidents. Sun Quan has participated in several annual meetings of Qidian, so he knows which aspects of business each vice president is responsible for. When he attended the annual meeting of Qidian before, he also knew the leadership of Qidian.

Saw it.

I also had a drink with this Lao Yi.

He knew that Lao Yi was usually responsible for Qidian's business.

Before his rebirth, he had been working at Qidian for more than ten years and had never interacted with the vice president, let alone had his QQ account.

But after his rebirth, when he attended the Qidian annual meeting for the second time, he got the QQ numbers of several vice presidents.

As for the mobile phone number?

He doesn’t have it, and he doesn’t need to have it!

Because in the online writing industry, whether it is between authors and authors, authors and readers, or authors and editors, the contact information is generally QQ, and unless necessary, people generally do not call each other.

Because we are all homebodies!

I usually like to communicate via text and make phone calls...many people don't like that.

Xianyu Anlaosun: "Mr. Yi, are you there?"

After QQ went online, Sun Quan sent a message to Lao Yi.

According to the established custom in this circle, when authors talk to editors about something, they generally don't ask "are you there?" and just go straight to the point and say what they want to say. If you ask if you are here, editors will usually choose to ignore it.

This is also Qidian’s editor’s request for his authors.

Sun Quan usually communicates with the editor-in-chief or editor-in-chief himself, which is the same style.

But now he changed his style.

Because he felt that Lao Yi was the vice president after all, not an ordinary editor-in-chief or editor-in-chief, so there was no need to communicate with others in the same manner as an editor.

The vice president is not like the editor-in-chief and the editor-in-chief. Everyone has hundreds or thousands of authors on QQ, and there is almost no time for chatting.

It took about five minutes after Sun Quan sent this message.

Lao Yi: "Well, I'm here, what's the matter with you? Please tell me!"

He did not ignore Sun Quan's message.

Sun Quan smiled.

Xianyu Laosun: "Hello, Mr. Yi, it's like this. Our company has produced the first season of the drama "The Last Wish of the Dead" and just reached a distribution agreement with Youku yesterday. I would like to ask, if we

This drama is in the most obvious position at the top of our home page. How much does it cost to advertise for a month? Can you give me an accurate figure?"

Lao Yi was silent for a bit long this time.

Across the computer and network cable, Sun Quan didn't know what Lao Yi was doing.

Are you thinking about how to answer his question? Or do you have something to do temporarily? Or maybe it's for some other reason.

Sun Quan was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

In fact, he had previously intended to get Qidian to invest in his drama, and his intention was conveyed to Qidian's leadership, but in the end Qidian had no intention of investing in his drama.

The specific reason was unknown to Sun Quan.

Anyway, the editor-in-chief Haiyu told him - "The leaders said at the meeting that the company has no plans in this regard for the time being."

Sun Quan himself felt that it was probably because the leaders of Qidian were not optimistic about his fledgling Salted Fish Film and Television.

He thinks this is normal. How can a new film and television company that has never proven itself give people confidence?

In other words, part of the reason why he originally wanted to invest with Qidian was because he wanted to be able to place a big advertisement on Qidian's homepage after the production of the drama was completed.

He wanted to take advantage.

As a result, Qidian was not fooled. Well, no! I didn’t want to invest.

Therefore, he can only choose to spend his own money to find a starting point for advertising.

About two minutes later, Lao Yi said: "Wait a moment, I will report to the superiors here."

Sun Quan replied: "Okay, don't rush, wait for the good news!"

Lao Yi is already the vice president of Qidian, who else is above him?

Apart from the general manager, he is probably the CEO of the group headquarters, Qiang Ge.

For a moment, Sun Quan was not sure who Lao Yi planned to report to.

He should be the general manager!

Regarding an advertising space on the homepage of the website, it should not be reported to Brother Qiang at the group headquarters.

Moreover, as far as Sun Quan knows, the management below the general manager of Qidian is not that close to Brother Qiang at the group headquarters.

The original time and space, the general manager and several vice presidents, along with many editors and great writers, left collectively and re-established another website.

About twenty minutes later, Lao Yi's reply came.

Lao Yi: "Lao Sun, before we talk about advertising, I want to ask you a question first. When will your new book be released? Are you sure it will be released at our starting point?"

In front of the computer.

Sun Quan was a little surprised when he saw this question.

He frowned.

What does it mean?

If my new book is not distributed at Qidian, will it not advertise to me? No money will be made at all?

Of course, he has no plans to leave Qidian in the near future. After all, in the current Internet literary circle, apart from Qidian, there is not a single website that can be used.

The only mobile library that can compete with Qidian in terms of momentum is a pure third-party channel. They do not produce novels, they are just transporters of novels.

To put it simply, it is a mobile library. Currently, it only sells novels from other novel websites. It does not have resident or contracted authors.

Sun Quan pondered for a moment and replied: "Mr. Yi, what do you mean? If my new book continues to be published on Qidian, will there be a discount on the advertising costs this time?"

At the end of the message, he included a smirking emoji.

Lao Yi: "Of course! You are our platinum author from Qidian. The works you are advertising this time are also our Qidian's works. The boss said that if you continue to publish your new books at Qidian, we can give you a discount on the advertising fee this time.
