"You think Station G can develop its film and television sector only by relying on your dramas?"
When Chi Jiang heard Xu Ji's arrogant words, he was not angry, but felt a little funny.
In fact, Station G not only hired a new director, Xu Ji, this time.
But the few people I had met before were all very humble, and they readily agreed to sign a contract with Station G.
Xu Ji didn't feel angry at all, or said something very urgent to prove himself.
Instead he replied:
"I believe in Mr. Chi's perspective on people."
"How to cooperate smoothly, I will prove it."
Chi Jiang shook his head.
"I am confident in my ability to see people."
"But I'm not arrogant."
"I don't think you are qualified to get investment from our G station through cooperation."
Xu Ji didn't panic, but instead asked: "Mr. Chi, can you tell me what kind of drama Station G plans to invest in next?"
Chi Jiang hesitated for a moment. This was not a business secret, so he replied:
"With a small cost, the number of views during the launch period can at least exceed 100 million."
After hearing Chi Jiang's words, Xu Ji nodded.
"Is it possible to use small things to make a big difference?"
"Then I think Mr. Chi might not only be planning to sign me, right?"
Chi Jiang nodded simply at this time.
"In addition to you, we have also contacted several directors who did not have companies in front of the Youth Micro Film Competition."
"There are also some famous young directors."
Xu Ji thought for a while and then said: "If the cost is small, the broadcast will be high."
"Youth-themed online dramas are the most suitable choice."
"If everything goes well, I can give you the script next week."
Chi Jiang was speechless and said, "I haven't even agreed to cooperate with you yet."
Xu Ji continued: "It's okay, Mr. Chi, how about you listen to me about the cooperation methods before making a decision?"
Chi Jiang motioned to Xu Ji to continue.
"I cooperate with Station G."
"With an investment of 10 million, the filming was completed within three months."
"After the online drama is launched, if the number of views on G station cannot exceed 300 million within one month of the broadcast, I will not take any money."
"If the number of views exceeds 300 million, I will charge 2 million for the director's fee."
"If it breaks one billion, I want five million. If it breaks two billion, I want ten million."
After Xu Ji finished speaking, Chi Jiang was stunned.
"What do you mean when you say no money is taken?"
Xu Ji replied directly: "The 10 million is all the production cost of the online drama, and I will film it for you for free."
Chi Jiang looked at Xu Ji with a strange look at this time.
Is this young new director really so confident in himself?
If this is really the case, it will not have much impact on them.
He is not worried that Xu Ji will shoot blindly. The main reason is that if Xu Ji still wants to be in this industry in the future, he will not be able to mess around, and reading the script is a key part.
As for Tan Mo’s investment fees, there’s no need to worry about it. After all, Station G will definitely have a dedicated producer to supervise it.
The most important thing is that in this era where investment in web dramas can easily amount to hundreds of millions.
An investment of 10 million is really nothing.
Station G can fully afford it and can afford the risk.
If it can really exceed 300 million views by then, then giving Xu Ji a director fee of 2 million is actually nothing at all.
The benefits brought by the growth of dedicated members are far beyond these.
As for what Xu Ji said later about breaking one billion or two billion views, Chi Jiang didn't care at all. In his opinion, it was almost impossible.
I have to admit that Chi Jiang, who originally had no interest in Xu Ji's cooperation, was now moved.
If this is really possible, he is even willing to do this for other projects.
After all, signing a contract with a director also requires a large fee.
The signing fee he had previously planned to give Xu Ji, plus the director's fee for the first online drama, both exceeded two million.
Of course, the premise is that Xu Ji must pass his previous assessment.
The script must also meet corresponding requirements.
You know, the money after signing the contract is still a sure profit even if Xu Ji loses his money.
"No other requirements?"
Chi Jiang still asked with some doubts.
Xu Ji shook his head.
"No."
"Of course, if there is any need to use G station resources during filming, please support me when the time comes."
Chi Jiang didn't think what Xu Ji was asking for. After all, this was station G's own project. Xu Ji didn't need to ask for resources to cooperate with filming, they would do it.
"Aren't you afraid that if the number of views does not reach 300 million by then, your hard work will be in vain?"
Xu Ji did not answer, but continued:
"By the way, Station G can't randomly add actors to my crew."
"Even if it is a recommendation, it must meet my requirements."
Chi Jiang did not hesitate at all.
"Don't worry about this, everything is based on the quality of the drama."
Xu Ji nodded, indicating that he had no other questions, and signaled Chi Jiang to make his own decision.
Chi Jiang pretended to think about it for a moment, and then replied:
"Since Director Xu is so courageous at such a young age, why not take a gamble with me?"
"It's a pleasure to work with you, Director Xu."
Xu Ji stretched out his hand, and then said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
"As for the script, I will give it to you within next week."
"But I've agreed in advance that I can make suggestions. It's up to me whether to change it or not."
Xu Ji said.
Chi Jiang was used to Xu Ji's confidence.
The two only reached an agreement verbally.
If the script Xu Ji gave was really rubbish and had no commercial value, Chi Jiang would not be stupid enough to throw away the money and let it go down the drain.
"Don't worry, Director Xu, we will give you the greatest degree of freedom to create."
......
Xu Ji came out of the building at Station G and breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he himself had no idea before.
After all, although an investment of 10 million is not much for a large company like G Station, it is not the kind of small money that can be thrown around without feeling any pain.
The reason why he acted so confidently and even a little arrogant just now was to give Chi Jiang the confidence to bet on such a game that he basically couldn't lose.
Speaking of which, Xu Ji actually feels a little distressed.
If he invests in the production himself, the drama he plans to sell to any platform will definitely make more than that amount of money.
Now the most I can get is 10 million.
Although the director’s fee of 10 million is considered high.
But in my current situation, with no money and no reputation, this is all I can do.
As for the sharing of membership fees, Xu Ji directly mentioned it and didn’t bother to mention it.
The amount is too large, and there is little chance that Station G will agree to it.
Moreover, he still has to argue for a long time. For Xu Ji, time is very important now.
Hurry up and make your first pot of gold, and make a hit web drama to prove that you are the most important.
All in all, this cooperation with Station G has achieved the goal that Xu Ji expected before he came here.
