Liu Yunli exchanged a few polite words with Deputy Director Chen before hanging up the phone.
"Is the problem solved?" Pang Feiyun asked after seeing Liu Yunli hang up the phone.
"Yes! The chairman's efficiency in doing things is so fast! In just a short time, the problem was solved!" Liu Yunli sighed with emotion.
"That's right! I watched Dong Yu start his career! Dong Yu's methods are really earth-shaking..." Pang Feiyun boasted about Yu Qingyang fiercely.
Yu Qingyang would probably blush after hearing these words.
Liu Yunli rushed to CCTV and signed a contract with the CCTV Animation Department.
Although the contract involves 50 million yuan, it is extremely simple, including the terms of the contract. The rights and obligations are clearly stated in just a few clauses.
In addition to CCTV retaining the right to rebroadcast in the future, all rights belong to Huayu Animation Production Company.
In fact, there are not many rights to the "Journey to the West" cartoon, because Journey to the West itself is an open copyright and anyone can adapt it, so there is no adaptation rights involved, that is, a video broadcast right and an animated character portrait right.
Everyone is satisfied with the price of 50 million. CCTV's acquisition of 50 million means that the cartoon has turned from losing money to making a profit. It will add another record to the work report of some leaders in the coming year.
Hua Yu is equally satisfied. This animated version of "Journey to the West" has been proven by the market, and its popularity can be said to be one of the most successful cartoons in history.
And the most important point is that although Hua Yu spent 50 million, he could save a lot of time. CCTV's version of "Journey to the West" cartoon took 2,000 people at CCTV six years to produce. How long would it take Hua Yu to re-produce it?
Time? Three years? Five years?
Liu Yunli cannot afford to wait, Hua Yu cannot afford to wait, and neither can the theme park!
As for the previous offer of 300 million from CCTV, no one mentioned it again. The meeting was just to chat and discuss the contract.
After the lawyers of both parties confirmed that it was correct, Liu Yunli signed the contract and stamped it with the official seal on behalf of Huayu Animation Production Company.
The CCTV Animation Department has obtained the authorization from the station. Director Meng signed the contract and then asked the staff to take it and stamp it.
"Director Meng, Director Chen, happy cooperation!" Liu Yunli stood up, stretched out her hand, and shook hands with the two leaders generously and gracefully.
“A pleasure to work with!”
"Two leaders, in order to celebrate our successful completion of the contract, I will be the host at noon and we will go to Donglaishun to eat mutton!"
"Mr. Liu is so polite! We have to ask for anything at noon! Thank you, Mr. Liu, for helping us solve a big problem!" Director Meng said with a pun.
The animation "Journey to the West" invested 70 million, which was a huge amount of money. In the end, the cost was not recovered. Their entire animation department has been having a hard time in the past two years.
Now that Liu Yunli has purchased the copyright for RMB 50 million, from a loss to a profit, it is conceivable that the animation department will have a much easier life in the future. This is one, and the other is the index issue of the house.
"We don't dare to take Director Meng's words seriously! We are mutually beneficial! I believe that there will be more opportunities for our two families to cooperate in the future!" Liu Yunli smiled heartily.
At Liu Yunli's insistence, Liu Yunli hosted a banquet for the leaders of the animation department at noon.
Liu Yunli's move was also to build a good relationship. Huayu Animation Production Company had just been established. It was still a bit early to say that it had entered the animation industry. It could only be said that it had half a foot in the industry.
Each industry is a relatively independent small circle. It is easy but not easy to enter this circle.
The CCTV Animation Department is undoubtedly the leader in this circle.
If you want to do better in the animation industry, it is necessary to have a good relationship with the CCTV Animation Department.
Although Huayu Animation Production Company did not intend to make money from selling broadcast rights from the beginning, CCTV Animation Department's connections and resources in this circle are unmatched by any unit.
At noon, Liu Yunli called Pang Feiyun and Geng Huai'an from Huayu Second Construction, and the CCTV Animation Department called on several popular and familiar female hosts.
Originally, the female hosts were reluctant to attend such a cocktail party. After all, such cocktail parties were not very friendly to women.
Now is the era when real estate bosses are running rampant in the entertainment industry. This era is very chaotic.
Of course, it is still much better than the later era when mine bosses were rampant in the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry in the era of mine bosses can be called black.
Because the host was a woman and the leadership had authority, they reluctantly agreed to participate.
When I came to the wine shop, I discovered that even the other bosses of Hua Yu were all high-quality people. They were very knowledgeable in their conversation, and they were very measured even when they were joking.
Only then did the female hosts feel completely relieved. Later, Director Meng half-jokingly said to the female hosts: "****You should respect Mr. Pang more, and Mr. Geng, have a few glasses of wine, and bring the two bosses together."
I'm so happy, the housing index in Huayu Century City is a trivial matter!"
Several female hosts are more relaxed.
"Haha! The house thing is not a problem! We have met today. Let's drink as much as we want. Just drink well and have fun! In the future, we Hua Yu will still count on our CCTV to help us with publicity!
For example, in our Huayu Kindergarten and Huayu Primary and Secondary Schools, if our animation department can organize some outdoor recording activities, or we can organize more activities in our kindergartens, primary and secondary schools.
I make the decision and come up with quotas for twenty houses and allocate them to Director Meng!" Pang Feiyun said with a smile.
"What Mr. Pang said is too simple! Our animation department often has to record some outdoor programs. If Hua Yu is willing to provide a venue, it will be a good thing for both of us!
However, these twenty houses are really not enough! If Mr. Pang can give us a quota of one hundred houses, I will make the decision and we can jointly create a program with our Huayu Kindergarten!" Director Meng also answered with a smile.
This is the sky-high asking price.
"Haha! What if I give our CCTV an unlimited group buying quota?" Pang Feiyun laughed and turned against the general.
"In that case, I can't make the decision!" Director Meng said with a smile: "But I can express my position on behalf of our animation department. We can jointly organize a small program with Huayu Primary School, Middle School and Kindergarten every year!"
Both sides need what the other has, Liu Yunli is good at dancing, and several popular female hosts from the CCTV animation department are also very active, so the atmosphere at the wine party is very lively.
Relationships and connections between people are actually built through transactions, cooperation, or introductions from acquaintances, and then through these drinking bureaus, parties, etc., to deepen relationships, and then slowly build up.
"Everyone, drink, drink! Let's relax today. Why are we talking about official business? Director Meng, Mr. Pang, your cooperation can wait until another appointment tomorrow. Let's sit down and talk slowly!
We will only drink wine today and not talk about business!" Liu Yunli saw that the two of them had almost reached the point of talking. If they went deeper, Mr. Pang could make the decision, but Director Meng could not, so she interrupted the conversation.
