"Legend of Wu Fu" is the most popular TV series recently, with many coveted stars and companies.
So as soon as the negative topic came up, those celebrities and companies who were jealous of "Legend of Wu Fu" and Han Yi all liked it and pushed it.
This caused the incident to become bigger and bigger and spread wider and wider.
Among them, Mango TV and Skylan TV were the most affected.
When he first spread the word, Su Yang consciously mentioned that the prices offered by the two satellite TV stations were too high. They are state-owned enterprises and state-owned assets, so they are relatively sensitive to this kind of thing.
So now that I'm here, I can't hold on any longer and want to renegotiate the agreement with the producers of "Legend of Wu Fu".
As for the other three online platforms, seeing the negative news flying all over the place, they began to feel uncertain about the performance of the TV series. They also learned that the two satellite TV stations requested to renegotiate the agreement, so they thought that they would also talk together, maybe they could also lower the price.
.
The drama "Legend of Wu Fu" has been evaluated internally by several companies, and they all consider it to be a drama of the year. Therefore, the expectations are high, and the price given is also high.
Mango TV has 270 million, Sky Blue TV has 150 million, and the three online platforms add up to 180 million. This is a big deal of 600 million in total.
Even if it is placed in a listed company, it is a major project, let alone Jiadian Pictures.
So Jiadian Pictures panicked and contacted Zhao Licheng and Li Zijun again.
As the group's anchors, Zhao Licheng and Li Zijun were still able to take on important responsibilities, so they immediately gave Jiadian Film and Television a reply: "We can negotiate." They invited these five companies to come to the company for negotiations, and by the way, Tangner Pictures was also invited to participate in the negotiations.
Tangner Pictures was the original producer and producer of "Legend of Wu Fu". Su Yang's share was also obtained from them. They still hold 40% of the share of "Legend of Wu Fu".
A project of this level is a major event for every company, so after receiving the reply from Jiadian Group, several companies sent people to Shanghai to discuss the matter that day.
The first people to come were the people from Sky Blue TV. When they came up, they were a little aggressive. They thought Jiadian Group had breached the contract and demanded a lower price.
Upon hearing their request, Downer Pictures looked at Li Zijun, the representative of Jiadian Group, with a troubled expression.
After years of experience, Li Zijun's temperament as a strong woman became stronger and stronger. She shook her head nonchalantly and said that it was impossible to lower the price and that the worst possible outcome would be to terminate the contract.
Now it is Sky Blue Satellite TV's turn to have a headache: they are a satellite TV broadcasting in the second round, and their prices are not very high. Coupled with the publicity resources invested in the early stage, if they terminate the contract directly, they will suffer heavy losses.
In the final analysis, they still believe in the quality of "Legend of Wu Fu", so they still want to broadcast it. However, the exposure of these negative news is indeed likely to have an impact on the TV series and greatly increase the probability of the TV series' failure. They are not as confident as before.
.
After the initial surprise attack failed, Sky Blue TV also changed its negotiation method and started a gentle communication method.
And they also put forward their bottom line, which is to reduce the price by about one-third. From 150 million to 100 million.
But no matter what their price was or how they negotiated, Li Zijun refused to cooperate. Anyway, he just said: It is impossible to reduce the price, and it is a big deal.
This caused the negotiation to break up immediately.
Immediately afterwards, the negotiations between the three online media and Mango TV were similar. Li Zijun was backed by the Jiadian Group, and the TV series was indeed good, so everyone did not have a falling out, so he still had the upper hand.
But everyone knows that Li Zijun is doing this to gain an advantage in subsequent negotiations. In the follow-up, she will definitely give in.
The conditions proposed by each company are almost to reduce the price by one-third to half to reduce risks. Their demands are also reasonable. There are too many negative news about TV dramas, especially related to money laundering, and they are under too much pressure.
In addition, because of these negative news, the TV series' ratings may not be guaranteed, so they hope to reduce risks.
After negotiating with all five companies in one day, Li Zijun immediately started the sixth negotiation: the negotiation with Downer Films.
In the sixth negotiation, Li Zijun listed the negative news currently spread on the Internet, especially the rumors of money laundering, and asked Tangner Pictures to return the original share of the money Jiadian Group paid for the film and television project to the crew for publicity.
Faced with Li Zijun's unreasonable request, Downer Pictures certainly refused without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zijun retreated to the next best thing and planned to return the 60% of the shares currently held by Jiadian Pictures to Tangner Pictures at the current reduced market price.
According to the current market price after deducting one-third, the value of 60% of the shares held by Jiadian Pictures is approximately 200 million.
Jiadian Pictures originally invested 130 million.
In other words, just after the TV series was filmed, Jiadian Pictures made a net profit of 70 million.
But Downer Pictures is not a fool. They sold the shares to Jiadian for 130 million, and now they bought them back for another 200 million. And there are risks in the future. Are they sick?
So they still refused without hesitation.
After two proposals were rejected in succession, Li Zijun finally revealed her true purpose, or Su Yang's true purpose: In this situation, they wanted to go head-to-head with the five major companies, so in order to prevent Tangner Pictures from surrendering
Stab in the knife, so they asked for the lowered market price to acquire the remaining 40% share of Downer Pictures.
The people at Tangner Pictures never thought of this way of handling it at first, so when Li Zijun brought it up, they were stunned.
Immediately afterwards, they asked for instructions and discussion.
After Li Zijun left, Downer Pictures carefully analyzed the current situation: "Legend of Wu Fu" will now be 100% reduced in price. And judging from the current situation, it will be reduced by at least 1/3.
Because the most important thing about a TV series is the first broadcast and the second round, this is a one-time deal. So the income is equivalent to fixed.
If Jiadian Pictures is willing to pay for this, then it is actually a good thing for Downer Pictures.
Since all the rights are sold, they don't have any risk.
So after just asking for instructions and discussing for a period of time, Downer Pictures decided to consider selling them all to Jiadian Group. The only problem is that the price should be as high as possible.
So after three hours of final negotiation, the two parties decided to acquire the remaining share from Downer Pictures at the current price of 75%.
And this money is worth 200 million. In addition to the 50 million that Tangner Film and Television received before, it is equivalent to their investment of 80 million, and they earned 250 million in half a year. It is simply a huge profit.
Downer Pictures is happy to be out.
The next day, Li Zijun held 100% of the share of "Legend of Wu Fu" and started a new round of negotiations with the five companies.
In this negotiation, Li Zijun changed her strong attitude and began to use a gentle strategy. She agreed to reduce the price immediately, saying that it was to weigh the risks of each company, and she even waved her hand and said that she could reduce the price by half.
.
Various companies were directly confused by her atmosphere.
Half price?
That is directly erasing 300 million!
They all heard this morning that Jiadian Pictures acquired the entire investment share of Tangner Pictures, which still leaves 200 million.
After a piece of negative news, Jiadian Group directly threw away 500 million yuan?
Is this crazy?
Of course, Li Zijun was not crazy. After proposing such a price reduction, she immediately made her own request: She had reduced risks for everyone, so she also had to give an explanation to the company.
She requested that "Legend of Wu Fu" be charged according to the ratings of the first broadcast satellite TV.
And to show her sincerity, she also offered very high tiered fees.
Based on the ratings ranking of CSM50 cities last year. If the ratings reached 1.2 and ranked in the top 25 last year, you can get 50% of the fee (the original price is 100%).
Those with a ratings of 1.3 and ranking in the top 15 last year can get 60% of the fees. Those with a ratings of 1.4 and ranking in the top 10 last year can get 70% of the fees.
If you have a ratings of 1.5 and rank among the top 5, you can get 80% of the fees. If you have a ratings of 1.7 and rank second in the country, you can get 90% of the fees. If you have a ratings of 2, you can get 100% of the fees.
After that, for every 10% increase in average ratings (increase by 0.2), the fee will be increased by 10%.
Until the ratings reach 3, you can get 150% of the total fee.
This tiered fee is very reasonable.
The original ratings expectations of the five companies for "Legend of Wu Fu" were around 2, making it one of the top three TV series in the country with the greatest potential. Otherwise, the price would not be so generous.
But now, even if the ratings reach 2, then they only pay the full fee.
The main purpose of their negotiation this time is to control risks. Now they only need a minimum of 50% of the fee, which still makes them very satisfied.
Therefore, among the five companies, except LeTV, which did not agree, all the others decided to cooperate.
For example, Mango TV, which is relatively safe, even called back to ask the station director for permission. After getting the station director's approval, they signed the new contract.
There was no vacant position at Leshi. After negotiating with four companies, Li Zijun turned around and found Aiqiyi.
iQiyi and Jiadian Group have always cooperated. So far, iQiyi’s online box office is created by Jiadian Group.
With this relationship and the very generous terms, after watching the pilot of "Legend of Wu Fu", Aiqiyi directly decided to cooperate and take over Leshi's work.
So, soon, eight companies jointly announced the change of cooperation: Jiadian Pictures acquired the remaining 40% of Tangner Pictures, Leshi terminated the contract, and iQiyi joined. The five major platforms are based on ladder ratings.
, to determine the broadcast price of "Legend of Wu Fu". The guaranteed prices were reduced to 135 million, 70 million and 30 million respectively.
As soon as this announcement came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
When there was so much negative news about "Legend of Wu Fu", several major companies suddenly withdrew and cut prices, which obviously made people finish reading "Legend of Wu Fu".
People in the entertainment industry are particularly sensitive. Everyone knows that the guarantee represents the importance of the TV station and the tilt of resources. This is the key to the life and death of a TV series!
Now "Legend of Wu Fu" suddenly faced such a thing, and the possibility of being a big hit suddenly became slim. So for a while, countless people were gloating about the misfortune.
The industry immediately began to badmouth Han Yi and several companies in the entertainment industry under Jiadian.
I think Han Yi has no life as an A-list star, and I also think that the entertainment companies under Jiadian will suffer heavy losses this time.
But at this time, Su Yang, who was strategizing, was not anxious at all, and even wanted to laugh: How could you know your plan to kill three birds with one stone?
So, soon, news broke that an employee of Jiadian Brokerage Company was suspected of taking bribes and spreading rumors, which caused huge losses to the company, and was investigated.
Immediately afterwards, many companies in the Magic City Circle received several investigation reports. The investigation reports clearly listed the whole story of several employees who had resigned from Jiadian Company and spread rumors about the original company. It also included all the information about these employees.
, and in the name of Jiadian Company, we hope that each company can consider these employees as appropriate.
To put it bluntly, it is a blocking order.
With the current status of Jiadian Group in Shanghai, each of these companies immediately remembered these people and blacklisted them. Not only because of the face given to Jiadian Group, but also because of their professional ethics.
has a problem.
After receiving the information, the original companies of those employees found excuses to fire them one by one.
These employees didn't know about this at first, but after hitting the wall in the next few interviews, they finally felt something was wrong and learned that Jiadian Group had issued a ban order.
They were panicking and wanted to ask the Wang family for help, but they found that the few people from the Wang family who had contacted them all disappeared and could not be contacted at all.
They are desperate.
After vigorously and resolutely purging these "traitors", Jiadian Group held a press conference. Su Yang, Han Yi, the general manager of Jiadian Pictures, Tan Mei, the general manager of Jiadian Agency, and even the first-line star Sister Mi all
Attended this press conference.
The press conference was still broadcast live on Shasha Ma’s Magic City TV, and all online media were present. Even the cooperating Mango TV, Sky Blue TV, and several major video platforms also came, and the battle was huge.
At the meeting, Su Yang, Han Yi, and Sister Mi took out the video of the conversation and directly exposed a fact that shocked everyone: Han Yi paid for the liquidated damages himself.
When she heard that the agency where she debuted was about to be shut down, in order to be grateful for the kindness she had received at that time, she spent 20 million to terminate the contract and returned to her original agency.
After knowing Han Yi's intentions, Sister Mi hesitated for a long time and finally fulfilled her.
This epic plot of repaying gratitude, coupled with conversation records, some video records, and transfer records, is extremely real.
For a moment, the entire network was shocked
Immediately afterwards, Su Yang broke another shocking news.
