Chapter 424: Boss, please stop touching me. How about you sing?
Coming out of the company headquarters at Station G, Mr. Qin from Huahui didn’t have a very good expression at this time.
As the producer of "Peach Blossoms", he also said at this time: "This Chi Jiang really doesn't know what is good and what is good. How can there be a quote that gets lower and lower?"
"Isn't this just because you don't want to discuss cooperation with us?"
"It's better to make it clear earlier so that we don't have to make this trip in vain."
Unlike the producer, Mr. Qin shook his head with regret.
"When he quoted 200 million, I should have agreed."
"There is no need to continue to raise prices."
"I guess Chi Jiang's sudden remorse had something to do with the phone call he received."
Huahui did talk to Kiwi before.
Or they have talked with the three major video websites, and G station is the last place they come.
Of course, Mr. Qin is not very satisfied with the copyright fees offered by the first three companies.
The highest one is only 130 million.
As for why he dared to stand with G, the lion opened his mouth.
In fact, it is also because I have realized that there are no good new drama resources on G station.
"Mr. Qin, it seems that Chi Jiang no longer wants to cooperate with us."
"What do we do now?"
The director of the movie knew their current situation, so he was the first to speak.
"There is no other good way. I can only go back and try to talk with Kiwi."
......
After sending away the three people from Hua Hui, Chi Jiang finally cheered up for the first time in a while.
Tong Ji's drama is still here, although the filming cycle is too long, resulting in a long vacuum period at G station.
But it was this that made Chi Jiang see more clearly that if Station G really wants to compete with the three major video websites, it still relies on Tongji Entertainment.
If it were another drama, Chi Jiang might be a little worried.
But this is the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", so there is basically no chance of success.
The first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was a big hit, which directly made this IP famous.
Now, it's time to scare the three major videos.
......
"Mr. Qin, my attitude has been very clear. The copyright fee of 130 million is the final price we can offer."
Qi Guo, Cong Zhu looked at the three people who came to Hua Hui for the second time, and the expressions on their faces did not change much.
Mr. Qin also looked a little embarrassed at this time.
He just asked for a price of 20 million, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.
However, Kiwi is indeed not like Station G. There is no shortage of new dramas on hand, and they even have a lot of self-produced dramas.
"The price of 150 million is also our Huahui's bottom line."
"If Mr. Cong is unwilling to cooperate, we will have no choice but to find other companies to cooperate with."
Mr. Qin also revealed his final trump card at this time.
"Please."
Unexpectedly, Congzhu didn’t do this at all.
She had watched "Peach Blossoms" before. In the end, it was just a costume idol drama with nothing new.
The audience is also there, so there is basically no possibility of a big fire.
Even if it is bought by other platforms, it will not pose much of a threat to them.
As for the copyright fee of 130 million, there is still a chance that Kiwi can make some money.
Seeing the troubled expression of the man in front of him, Cong Zhuye said immediately:
"Of course, if Mr. Qin is confident in his company's drama, he might as well consider signing a share-sharing contract with us."
"In this case, maybe we can get more than 130 million."
Hearing Congzhu's words, Mr. Qin was also stunned for a moment.
He had indeed never considered the sharing contract before.
In fact, the three major platforms have their own sharing contracts in addition to the one-time payment method for copyright fees.
The share ratio is relatively normal, and it doesn’t mean they were cheated.
However, the risk of sharing contracts is too great. Generally, only web dramas with small investments will choose this method.
According to the amount of investment in "Peach Blossoms", if you want to make money through sharing, it doesn't matter if the show becomes a hit, but you must at least get good playback data.
Of course he knows the quality of "Peach Blossom".
Although it is a big investment, in the final analysis, he does not have the slightest confidence in whether the show will eventually become a hit.
Of course, 130 million copyrights are still too few.
It didn't meet his psychological expectations at all.
Combined with the copyright quotation from the TV station, this project has only just recovered its cost.
It is equivalent to a drama that took more than half a year to produce, but ultimately brought very little profit.
So he gritted his teeth and simply agreed.
"Then let's sign a share-sharing contract!"
"I have confidence in our drama!"
These words made Congzhu stunned for a moment.
She actually wanted to ask sincerely at this time, who gave you the confidence.
Judging from the investment cost of "Peach Blossom Lane", the share ratio is of course the highest level.
Of course, no matter what, with the exemption of copyright fees, unless the show is really a hit, Kiwi as a platform will definitely not lose money.
"It's a pleasure to work with you!"
Congzhu had no intention of persuading him anymore and smiled and stretched out his right hand.
......
In Chengdu, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has passed the review process and is confirmed to be officially released in early November.
More than a week of promotion time is left in between, which may not be enough for other dramas.
But Ghost Blowing Lantern is a sequel that has a lot of popularity, so there is basically no need to worry about publicity issues.
The G station paid great attention to it. Before the drama had even passed the review, they had already prepared for the promotion and distribution work.
As for Xu Ji at this time, he is still writing the script.
Not his own next movie, but the scripts for the subsequent seasons of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
He was somewhat annoyed by Zhu Min, who was always trying to be attentive to nothing.
As the director of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the other party naturally hopes to see the script for the next season as early as possible.
Although she wanted to familiarize herself with the script in advance, the bigger reason was that she was also attracted by the story and couldn't bear it.
So when I have the opportunity, I will give Xu Ji a hint on the next plot direction.
She originally thought that Xu Ji hadn't figured out what to write next, but in fact Xu Ji seemed to have already thought about it.
After hearing Xu Ji mention the spoilers a few times, not only was my appetite not satiated, but I became even more excited.
Now that the plot is almost conceived, it doesn’t take much trouble to write it out.
Zhu Min thinks so.
In the end, Xu Ji compromised and wrote all the scripts for the subsequent "Ghost Blowing Lamp" films at once.
Then he threw it to the other party and said angrily:
"Since you want to shoot it, I'll let you have fun doing it, and shoot the remaining movies all at once."
Originally, he thought that if Zhu Min was not allowed to rest in the middle, the other party would have objections.
Who knew that Zhu Min happily agreed without any hesitation?
"Thank you, Director Xu!"
Yes, she has to thank us!
Xu Ji expressed his helplessness.
As a boss, employees are workaholics, and sometimes this is not necessarily a good thing.
......
Station G announced that the second season of Gui Chuu Deng's "Longling Labyrinth" will return in November.
This news immediately made countless netizens excited.
"Damn it, is there really a second part? I feel like the story of the ghost blowing out the lamp is not over yet!"
"Yes, the mystery of the red spot has not been solved yet, and the adventure story of the Iron Triangle is so good that we have waited for the news of the sequel."
"Tongji is indeed the company that hides information the most. It only released the news after it was finished filming and ready to be broadcast. It's not like other dramas that have a lot of hot searches before they even start filming."
......
Tongji Entertainment is indeed different from some other companies.
Because they basically don’t value Xuanfa.
Some other film and television companies, even the three major ones, will release news when the project is established, which is equivalent to promoting and building momentum in advance.
Especially the cast, they like to make a fuss.
Can't they keep it secret? Of course not.
The news was released deliberately, which is equivalent to announcing it in advance. Facts have proved that the effect of this is good.
Tongji Entertainment is a rare exception.
At this time, Qi Guo and Cong Zhu had been staring at the second season poster of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" on the G station homepage for almost ten minutes.
As a person in the film and television industry, she must know the news about the filming of the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
But the finalization, post-production, and broadcast of the drama were not something she could predict.
In the last quarter of this year, Kiwi originally planned to broadcast several large-scale dramas.
Who knew that the evil Tongji Entertainment would appear again.
By the way, she just signed a share-sharing contract with Huahui, and the scheduled broadcast time is next month.
Congzhu silently prayed for the other party in his heart, hoping that nothing would happen to the pot-bellied Mr. Qin after hearing the news.
In comparison, it seemed that she was suddenly able to accept it a little more.
For a drama that has signed a share-sharing contract, Congzhu doesn't mind competing for the audience with G station's second drama "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
There’s nothing to lose anyway.
......
At this time in Shanghai, in a high-end KTV private room, three people from Huahui were singing happily.
I also invited three beautiful girls to accompany me for drinks.
Although the goal was not achieved in the end, at least the cooperation was confirmed.
The share-sharing contract has also been approved by the company's boss, and Mr. Qin has completed his task at this time.
"Boss, please stop touching me. Why don't you sing? My stockings have been damaged by your touching them."
Mr. Qin had a big belly, and after hearing this, he cursed with some dissatisfaction.
Then he took out two hundred yuan from his wallet and threw it to the other party.
"Buy new ones then!"
The girl forced a forced smile.
"Thank you, boss."
In fact, I was complaining in my heart: "You look like a dog in what you wear, but you turn out to be a poor man!"
She saw that the clothes Mr. Qin was wearing were brand-name goods and were expensive.
I was quite happy to see the other person take out his wallet, but he gave me two hundred yuan, and I almost couldn't help but curse.
The producer was also having a lot of fun at this time.
The director of "Peach Blossom" is somewhat uncomfortable with such an occasion.
He actually joined Hua Hui this year, and he was a small director before.
This time he directed a large-scale production with an investment of more than 200 million yuan. I was very happy at first, but it turned out that he had no say in the crew.
Not only did the producer and supervisor suppress him, but even the two male and female leads on the crew didn't take him seriously.
Every day, I serve you as if I were serving my ancestors.
But he is no longer a passionate young man, so he naturally knows that money is hard to make.
The director's fee this time is equivalent to the more than ten low-budget web dramas he has filmed before.
"If our new drama can be a hit this time, you will be Huahui's number one director in the future!"
"Bills, women, nothing?!!"
——"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your cultivation."
Mr. Qin drank some wine and looked particularly excited when he spoke.
But as a director, he knows that this drama has flaws everywhere from the beginning of the script.
The actors are still two traffic stars with no acting skills.
It’s amazing why the show is so popular.
Of course, he was actually not sure. In the past, it would have been very easy for a drama like this to make money in the entertainment industry.
However, since the emergence of Tongji Entertainment, the audience has become increasingly difficult to fool.
......
"What's going on?!!"
"Mr. Qin, it's not good!"
Mr. Qin was happily wiping oil at this time.
I was startled by the producer's sudden loud voice.
"Can you be more steady and not be surprised?"
The producer did not answer the call, but directly handed over his mobile phone.
"Mr. Qin, look at this."
Mr. Qin was in a daze and was already half drunk.
But when I saw the message on my phone, I suddenly woke up.
Then he continued to scroll on his phone.
It was finally confirmed that the news was not false. The second season of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" will be aired, and it will be at the same time as their new drama.
He instantly recalled Chi Jiang's sudden change in attitude when he was at station G.
Now I can finally guess the content of the call Chi Jiang received.
No wonder I have no intention of continuing to cooperate with them.
It turns out that a new drama from Tongji Entertainment is coming.
......
In the Kiwi Company Building, Congzhu looked expressionlessly at the Huahui trio who came to the door for the third time.
"Mr. Qin, you agreed to it yourself at the beginning, and all our contracts have been signed."
This time, the Huahui trio are no longer as aggressive as before.
Mr. Qin even said in a low voice: "But we didn't expect that "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" would be broadcast online in November."
"Cong Zong, please be a little accommodating and let us air this drama a little later."
Congzhu has no intention of spoiling him.
After all, a company like Huahui does have some strength, but after all, it is not a company of the size of the three major companies.
As a platform party, Kiwi does not need to establish a strong cooperative relationship with the other party.
"Mr. Qin, we have written this broadcast time into the contract."
"And it's been almost a week since the publicity of your film began. This was the condition you set up at the beginning, asking us to provide various publicity resources and help."
"I agreed to everything."
"But now you tell me that the show will be postponed. What will we do about the losses?"
Mr. Qin was also stunned at this time.
It was indeed his request at that time. After all, it was a share-sharing contract, and he also hoped that his drama would be more popular.
So I asked for promotional resources for kiwi fruit.
Who knew that this would become the biggest obstacle now that the broadcast time is set?
