Chapter 55 Negotiations
"what!"
A scream rang out.
Hu Mei, who was behind Lin Qirong, quickly covered her mouth. She couldn't help shouting when she heard the exaggerated number just now.
On the other hand, Li Yijun and Hong Ming did not have any surprised expressions, as if they were not surprised by this number.
"It seems that you have a lot of confidence in the format of this program."
Li Yijun chuckled and said, "If we can bring our show back to its peak, the permanent copyright is indeed worth the money.
I don't know what price to buy by season? "
Facing his provocative gaze, Lin Qirong's expression was calm.
"In the first season, we can offer a discount of 800 million.
But I'm sure there will be a big price increase starting from the second season, because I have confidence in our model.
In fact, if we want, we can cooperate with other TV stations to create a brand new program based on our program model.
For example, Shonan Satellite TV and Blue Ocean Satellite TV must be interested in such a program model and have enough resources to create it.
Perhaps it will not only become a popular variety show, but may even go one step further. "
"Go further?"
Li Yijun and Hong Ming glanced at each other, one step further, that is the level of the National Variety Show.
For so many years in the development of Chinese variety shows, several national variety shows have appeared, all of which appeared in talent shows. It can be said that everyone in China knows their popularity.
Shonan Satellite TV and Blue Ocean Satellite TV jumped to the throne of the entertainment industry by relying on such national variety shows.
Does the new "Happy Run" also have such potential?
If Lin Qirong really went to Shonan Satellite TV or Blue Ocean Satellite TV with this plan, they would definitely not let it go as they have already been eyeing outdoor reality shows.
Both TV stations are rich and self-willed owners. If they think it is necessary, they dare to spend [-] million, let alone [-] million.
"Li Tai, you also know that I used to be a member of the stage."
Lin Qirong said sincerely, "Although I left the TV station due to my own reasons, I still regard this place as my home from the bottom of my heart.
In just a few years of working time, I have learned a lot here, and this plan is also formed on the basis of "Happy Running".
So I very much hope that this plan of mine can cooperate with the TV station to make my favorite show shine again. "
Lin Qirong stopped after speaking, quietly waiting for Li Yijun and Hong Ming to make their own decisions.
Although he compared Shonan Satellite TV and Blue Ocean Satellite TV, he knew that Red Maple Satellite TV was his best partner.
With his reputation, he hastily sought cooperation with two major entertainment platforms. Even if he could succeed, there would definitely be incomparable twists and turns.
Only when Red Maple TV's ace variety show "Happy Running" had to change, and with Qiao Feng's recommendation, could he be given such an opportunity.
Otherwise, how could he have sat here so easily?
Li Yijun and Hong Ming looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
They didn't expect that Lin Qirong, who was young but had a deep understanding of negotiation skills, presented facts, reasoned, and pulled emotions, and used both soft and hard methods, unexpectedly made it difficult for them to find a reason to criticize.
Of course they knew that Lin Qirong's use of Shonan Satellite TV and Blue Ocean Satellite TV as examples was intentional. In fact, it was basically impossible, but they had to face this reality.
They're not the only buyers.
"What do you think?" Li Yijun asked in a low voice.
Hong Ming nodded silently, "There is no doubt that this is the most suitable plan."
"To what extent are you sure you can do it?"
"It shouldn't be a problem to return to the top, the foundation is still there, as long as the revision can satisfy everyone and have enough topicality, the ratings will not be bad.
As for whether it can be done as he said, it is still unknown, after all, this requires the right time, place and people. "
Li Yijun nodded, "I understand what you mean, we have no choice, right?
The most important thing is ratings and sponsors. "
Hong Ming smiled wryly.
"so be it."
Li Yijun made a decision, turned around to look at Lin Qirong who was calmly waiting for them to make a decision, and secretly praised him again in his heart.
With such a bearing, his future is bright.
"It seems we have no choice?"
Lin Qirong smiled and said, "This should be a win-win situation, and even speaking of it, we still lost money.
After all, a popular variety show earns hundreds of millions of dollars every year from sponsors, video platforms and other channels.
As long as the program is good enough, the topic is hot enough, and the ratings are high enough, this small amount of money is really not in your eyes. "
"It seems that you have conducted in-depth research on this industry, and you came prepared."
Li Yijun shook his head and smiled, "We agree with your opinion and buy your copyright directly, but we hope to lower the price, how about [-] million? You should know that this price is not low."
Lin Qirong bowed his head and thought for a while, then nodded slowly, "I offer you a counter-offer, which is very reasonable, and I accept this price."
He shrugged his shoulders and laughed at himself, "Who told us that our company is unknown now, and I am just an unknown little screenwriter?"
"You." Li Yijun pointed at him with a smile and said, "We are also gambling, because we have confidence in you to pay this price."
"I'm joking, don't mind." Lin Qirong shook his head and said.
But his eyes told Li Yijun that this was not a joke, he really thought the price was low.
This made him look forward to the future of this show a little more.
"Then it's settled." Li Yijun clapped his hands and said, "It's up to Director Hong to make our request."
Lin Qirong nodded and looked at Hong Ming.
"Since we have reached a cooperation, we also hope that your company can cooperate with us to make this program well." Hong Ming said seriously.
"this is necessary."
"First of all, I hope you can come up with the script of this season as soon as possible, if possible, we want to complete the production of the new episode in the second half of the year.
After all, this is a brand new model, and we need your help to complete the first season.
We will write the script ourselves in the second season. "
"Okay." Lin Qirong nodded, he was already mentally prepared for this.
Hong Ming didn't wait for the next year, but started the new program production directly this year, which is also very smart.
"Second, we hope that you can train our hosts so that they can get familiar with this brand-tearing game as soon as possible."
Lin Qirong couldn't help secretly applauding him, it was on point.
In the first episode of the first season of Running Man in the previous life, several hosts were simply weak chickens when they played the game of tearing up famous brands.
However, the opponent is still the capable Jin Zhongguo, and everyone's performance in front of him is extremely poor.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was too easy for Kim Jong Kook to destroy them at that time.
If the script hadn't deliberately arranged the final decisive battle, allowing them to win the final victory, I believe the brotherhood would be wiped out.
It can be said that at the beginning they didn't know how to play this game and how to give full play to their own advantages, and then slowly figured it out later, so that the charm of this game can be displayed to the greatest extent.
And "Happy Running" has no fault tolerance period. If the first episode is not exciting, "Happy Running" will easily suffer.
Sure enough, as expected of director Hong Ming, he saw the idea at a glance.
Lin Qirong nodded, "Yes, we have summed up a lot of gameplay, and they can all learn from it.
In addition, we can help them show their unique advantages according to their respective characteristics. "
Hong Ming smiled slightly, "In this way, I have nothing to worry about. I hope we can cooperate happily."
"Thank you, I'm honored."
"Since that's the case, then we can sign the contract directly."
Li Yijun clapped his hands and said.
Lin Qirong nodded, "Yes, I have no objection, in fact we need to be more impatient."
"Haha." Li Yijun laughed, "I feel very sorry to see you are so good.
If you were still in Taiwan, maybe we wouldn't have to worry about things like this. "
"That's not necessarily true." Lin Qirong said with a smile, "Maybe I'll just stay in the screenwriting department and become a veteran."
Li Yijun froze for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.
"That's right, without the ups and downs you went through, maybe you wouldn't have the amazing performance today."
"People always have to go through wind and rain to grow."
"It seems that it is time for us to train more young people."
Li Yijun turned his head and said to Hong Ming, "In this respect, Shonan TV is better than us."
"I understand." Hong Ming nodded, he already had an idea in his mind.
Half an hour later, a staff member brought up the three contracts, which listed the terms of cooperation between the two parties in detail.
The most important method of payment is a total of three payments, 2000 million for the first time, 4000 million before the filming of the show, and 4000 million for the final payment after the show starts broadcasting.
This is acceptable and normal practice, Lin Qirong has no objection.
"Sign it if there is no problem?"
Lin Qirong read it carefully and signed his name after confirming that there was no problem.
Then he took the company's official seal from Hu Mei and stamped it on it.
In triplicate, one is kept by Red Maple TV, one is kept by Tonghua Entertainment, and one is handed over to the notary office.
"Then, happy cooperation." After signing, Li Yijun took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Qirong and said with a smile, "I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future."
"I accept your words." Lin Qirong smiled, "I will continue to work hard."
The cooperation was formally concluded, Lin Qirong asked Hu Mei to put away the contract, and got up to leave.
"Aren't you going to have a meal here? Let me tell you, the canteen in Taili has been upgraded."
Li Yijun laughed with him.
"I drool when you said it, I miss it so much." Lin Qirong said, pointing to Hu Mei beside him, "But now I want to celebrate with them, so I can only express my regret."
"That's what it should be." Li Yijun said understandingly, "Then I won't keep you, see you later."
"Thank you Tai Li, thank you Director Hong."
After Lin Qirong saluted respectfully, he turned and left.
"What an amazing young man." Li Yijun sighed.
Hong Ming nodded approvingly, "I think he will perform even more amazingly in the future."
“All the way, all the way, your feeling is right.
Maybe the next time we work with him again, it won't be like this. "
They knew very well in their hearts that although the buyout price of [-] million yuan was not low, it was really a big profit for a popular variety show that might even become a national variety show.
"Work hard."
"Yes."
