Wang Muxuan held a cup of coffee in her hand and took a sip. She and Chen Lingyi were already very familiar with each other. When they got along together, they were no longer as restrained as when they were selling the first season of "Love Apartment".
"Sister Lingyi, Mr. Hu has conveyed the latest instructions to me. He hopes that drama buyers can prepay most of the drama purchase price. If any drama buyers can agree to this condition, they will give priority to cooperation. Therefore, I am here today.
Let’s go to Sister Lingyi first.”
Wang Muxuan made her intention clear. From her personal emotional point of view, of course she still hopes to continue to cooperate with Chen Lingyi. After all, the cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant in the first season of "Love Apartment".
"How many are most?" Chen Lingyi asked.
"It's best to have 70% to 80%."
In fact, Hu Shuo did not say a specific number, but since Hu Shuo said most of it, it must be at least 50% or more, so Wang Muxuan directly said 70% to 80%.
Chen Lingyi nodded slightly: "You, Mr. Hu, are in urgent need of cash flow. It seems that your Chuangshi Entertainment is going to make big moves, right?"
Chen Lingyi said with a smile on her face. Some time ago, Wang Muxuan also revealed to her that Chuangshi Entertainment was not in a hurry to sell the broadcast rights of the second season of "Love Apartment", but today he said that most of the advance payment was needed, so
, Chen Lingyi can easily come to this conclusion.
"I don't know about this." Wang Muxuan shook her head. Although she had a good relationship with Chen Lingyi, of course, internal matters within the company could not be disclosed to the other party.
Chen Lingyi smiled and did not continue to delve into this issue. He pondered for a while and said: "You, Mr. Hu, must not be satisfied with my quotation last time."
"Um."
Wang Muxuan nodded and said: "To be honest, Sister Lingyi, your quotation is indeed not high. You Satellite TV's quotation is almost twice as much as yours."
Wang Muxuan's words were not alarmist. Sioux City TV's offer was indeed almost twice as much as Chen Lingyi's offer. However, Hu Shuo was determined not to sell to Sioux City TV.
"Let's do this, Muxuan, you name a price that Mr. Hu may accept." Chen Lingyi looked at Wang Muxuan with a smile in his eyes.
"Um……"
Wang Muxuan hesitated for a moment, then stretched out a finger: "If this is the number, we, Mr. Hu, should agree."
"Too much!"
Chen Lingyi shook her head. Although the first season of "Love Apartment" was very popular, she still felt it was a bit expensive if the second season increased to 10 million per episode.
After all, if one episode costs 10 million, 20 episodes will be 200 million.
"Sister Lingyi, you know how popular the first season of "Love Apartment" was, so the price isn't too high!" Wang Muxuan said.
"The problem is that the second season has just been launched, and no one can guarantee the quality of the series. If there are a few completed episodes in front of me and I watch them, I may consider the price, otherwise
Otherwise, the risk is still too great.”
Chen Lingyi was telling the truth. After all, the first season was a hit, and there were too many TV series that hit the market in the second season. Therefore, she did not dare to give a sky-high price without seeing the quality of the series.
Wang Muxuan nodded in understanding: "So, how much does Sister Lingyi want to pay?"
"A package buyout of 150 million yuan! You can pay 100 million yuan in advance to buy the drama!" Chen Lingyi responded with a serious face. This is the upper limit of what she can afford at present.
"That is, less than 8 million per episode, not including advertising revenue..."
Wang Muchuan quickly calculated the price of a single episode, and then shook his head: "This price is probably difficult for Mr. Hu to agree to."
"You can give him a try." Chen Lingyi lightly shrugged.
"All right."
Wang Muxuan responded, knowing that this should be the highest offer that Chen Lingyi could give at present.
Leave Jiangcheng TV.
Wang Muxuan rushed to the Aiyi Video headquarters again.
Zhang Jian, director of the content department, received her in the office. It must have been the same as the first time Wang Muxuan stopped her at the door. Now, Wang Muxuan's treatment is much better.
"Muxuan, have you decided to continue cooperating with our Aiyi Video?"
Zhang Jian asked with a smile. Although Aiyi Video was the loser in the gambling agreement for the first season of "Love Apartment", this loser was only compared to Chuangshi Entertainment. For the website, they were still big winners.
Although they only had a small share of the advertising and on-demand accounts, the final profit amount could still exceed 100 million.
This is just the apparent income. The first season of "Love Apartment" was a hit, and the huge traffic it brought to their website was a wealth that cannot be measured by money. Therefore, when Chuangshi Entertainment officially announced that the second season of "Love Apartment"
When the season started, Zhang Jian contacted Wang Muchuan immediately.
"Brother Jian, of course Mr. Hu wants to continue cooperating with you, but Mr. Hu has put an additional condition."
After previous contact, Wang Muxuan and Zhang Jian have become very familiar with each other, and their title has become Brother Jian.
"What are the additional conditions, please tell me?" Zhang Jian asked with a smile.
"You need to pay 200 million in advance for the profit sharing." Wang Muxuan replied.
“Two hundred million in advance??”
Zhang Jian was startled and sighed: "You, Mr. Hu, have quite an appetite!"
"Two hundred million doesn't seem to be much for a top-level IP like "Love Apartment"," Wang Muxuan said in a calm tone.
"If the second season can reach the level of the first season, of course it won't be much, but now your second season has just started..."
Zhang Jian shook his head slightly. Agreeing to pay 200 million in advance would be considered a big gamble.
"Brother Jian, I was the first to discuss the video platform with you because we had a very happy cooperation in the first season. To tell you the truth, I will go to Youjia to talk to Pumpkin next, so..."
Wang Muxuan smiled and said nothing else.
Zhang Jian naturally understood what she meant. If other websites agreed to an advance payment of 200 million, then the platform for the second season of "Love Apartment" would probably not be their Aiyi Video.
"I really can't make the decision on this matter myself. I need to talk to the senior leaders..." Zhang Jian hesitated and said. It involves an advance payment of 200 million, and he can't make the decision himself.
"Well, I'll wait for news about Brother Jian."
Wang Muxuan stood up and said goodbye.
Throughout the whole day, Wang Muxuan either met in person or contacted by phone, talking to a total of five video platforms and four satellite TV stations, and tried her best to implement the tasks assigned to her by Hu Shuo.
In the evening.
Wanli Group Headquarters.
Yang Yunyan had just finished an interview with Tian Kai, the current person in charge of Wanli Pictures, and informed him that Wanli Pictures was about to be acquired, and told him to cooperate with the financial review of Chuangshi Entertainment.
After Tian Kai left, Yang Yunyan had another cross-country video conference. While she was preparing, Yang Wanli suddenly came to her office.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Yang Yunyan was surprised and stood up from her seat.
"I was getting ready to go home. I heard that you haven't left yet, so I came over to sit with you." Yang Wanli's health has improved a lot recently and he has been spending more time in the group.
"There must be something wrong."
Yang Yunyan shrugged. Based on her understanding of her father, he would not come over to sit with him for no reason.
"I heard that you sold Wanli Pictures?"
Yang Wanli asked.
"yes."
Yang Yunyan nodded.
"I've mentioned this to you several times before, but haven't you always disagreed? What happened this time? Have you figured it out?" Yang Wanli asked with a smile.
"Well, I figured it out. It won't make any difference anyway if we put it in our hands. Why don't we let it change its environment and maybe it can bring it back to life." Yang Yunyan responded with a smile.
"You are very happy after selling Wanli Pictures. This is not like your style." Yang Wanli was a little confused, because Wanli Pictures was originally created by Yang Yunyan, and it was also an important layout for her to enter the entertainment industry.
Therefore, Yang Yunyan is very unwilling to accept that Wanli Pictures has not been able to develop its business.
In the past, Yang Wanli proposed to sell Wanli Pictures several times, but Yang Yunyan did not agree. But now that Yang Yunyan is like this, she is not unhappy at all after selling Wanli Pictures, but there is still a trace of pride in her eyes.
Yang Wanli was completely confused.
"Because Wanli Pictures is actually still in our house." Yang Yunyan smiled.
“Still at our house??”
Yang Wanli was even more confused. He only heard the news that Wanli Pictures was about to be acquired and didn't know any other details, so he came to ask Yang Yunyan.
"It's Hu Shuo. His company acquired Wanli Pictures." Yang Yunyan didn't give in and revealed the answer.
"Xiao Shuo?"
"Since when did he have a company? Can he still have the ability to acquire Wanli Pictures??" Yang Wanli was shocked.
Yang Yunyan lightly shrugged: "Your son-in-law is so awesome. He secretly mortgaged his car to buy millions to start a business. Then, he made a popular TV series "Love Apartment" and made hundreds of millions at once~
!”
Speaking of Hu Shuo's deeds, Yang Yunyan is still very proud. After all, no woman really wants her husband to be just an "expert with children."
Career success is the greatest charm of a man!
Men are born to conquer this world!
"I'm telling you, you actually dared to bet me that you would make one billion in half a year!"
Yang Wanli was naturally quite surprised. Although his impression of Hu Shuo had changed recently, he never thought that Hu Shuo could achieve such a breakthrough in his career.
"You're not helping him secretly, are you?"
Yang Wanli still didn't believe that Hu Shuo could quickly earn hundreds of millions by mortgaging his car.
"Really not!"
Yang Yunyan shook her head decisively: "In fact, I only found out a few days ago that Hu Shuo's company has reached such a scale. I was shocked when he came to me and said he wanted to acquire Wanli Pictures!"
"Does he want to acquire it wholly??" Yang Wanli asked.
"Yes, full acquisition!" Yang Yunyan nodded.
Hearing this, Yang Wanli couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that I am going to lose!"
