Chapter 67

[unexpected signs chapter 67]

Pei Shaoze invited Mr. Chen, who is responsible for purchasing the source of the first domestic video broadcasting platform, to talk about the release time and purchase mode of folding paper.

Mr. Chen is a smiling tiger. First, he praised Mr. Pei Shaoze from head to toe with praise words like "Mr. Pei is really young and promising". Then he said solemnly: "Mr. Pei, how about buying out the play" folding paper "for 3 million yuan? Our bear TV is the platform with the largest number of video users in China, with hundreds of millions of members, and daily life is stable at about 100 million. Naturally, the exposure rate of this play on our platform is needless to say. "

Pei Shaoze took a sip of tea and said calmly: "three million buy out? I can't even recover the cost. It's hard to explain to the crew. "

Mr. Chen said with a smile: "this drama is not a famous IP drama. The actors are all new transparent people. The price I gave is very fair. I bought several new online dramas last year, none of which exceeded 2 million. I only increased the price because of Tianxuan's face. Mr. Pei is just spending money to promote new actors. A bigger platform is good for the fame of the actors. "

Pei Shaoze put down his tea cup, raised his eyes and looked at the other side: "if 3 million yuan is bought out, how does Mr. Chen plan to recommend it?"

The other party thought about it and said, "of course, classified push. Our platform has a campus drama special show. When the drama is released, we will put it in the most eye-catching position of classified promotion. Ha ha, we won't neglect Tianxuan's play. "

Pei Shaoze gently raised his lips, stood up and said: "Mr. Chen, let's have a chance to cooperate in the future."

Is that a direct refusal? Mr. Chen chuckles at the bottom of his heart. What high price do you want for a broken net play by a new comer who has no reputation? There is fierce competition in the summer season. Big IP dramas have to compete for the first place. There are so many top stars in the circle that they can't be ranked. How many plays can you play in this small production? How much attention can it attract? If you buy 3 million yuan, you may lose money. It's really beyond your ability.

Mr. Chen seems to be smiling. Pei Shaoze knows exactly what he is thinking. He doesn't want to talk to him any more.

In recent days, I have met with the purchasing directors of several video broadcasting platforms. On the surface, due to Pei Shaoze's status as president of Tianxuan, they are very polite. In fact, they are not optimistic about folding paper. There is fierce competition in the summer holidays. If you pay a high price to buy a campus drama without famous actors, you really have the risk of losing money. Pei Shaoze can understand the conservative ideas of those directors.

In this year's summer holiday season, there are several large-scale costume dramas and immortal swordsman dramas, as well as a sadistic love drama on campus. In the view of major platforms, it is almost impossible for folding paper to break through the siege.

But Pei Shaoze has confidence in his vision of choosing the script and in Cheng Xia's performance.

This is Cheng Xia's debut work, and it's also his first time to be a producer in the world. Cheng Xia spent a lot of effort on this work, not to mention reading the original work five times and reciting the script more than ten times. Just practicing origami skills, he wasted thousands of pieces of paper

How can he let Cheng Xia down?

When he got home in the evening, Pei Shaoze sat at his desk and gently rubbed his temple to think about the next countermeasures.

Even if he is full of confidence in the play, the broadcasting platform has its own evaluation criteria. The play performed by unknown newcomers really can't get a good price, and there is no platform willing to spend more than 10 million to buy the exclusive broadcasting right of this "small transparent online play".

By buying out, he can't earn back the $10 million he invested. It's also like taking a risk and trying the "split account" model.

In reality, a lot of online movies follow the "box office split account" mode. The platform and the producer discuss the share ratio. The ticket price of online movies is very cheap for netizens to buy and watch, ranging from 2 yuan to 10 yuan. If the film has a good reputation, many people are willing to spend this pocket money to buy it. The final box office revenue is shared by the platform and the producer according to the agreement.

But there's a big drawback to box office split - if the show doesn't get up, it's likely to hit the bottom of the earth, not even get a million buy-out price. After all, there are so many free dramas to watch on the Internet now, who will pay for an online drama?

Unless the plot is good enough to attract the audience to pay willingly.

After careful consideration, Pei Shaoze decided to talk to the boss of Linghu TV.

Linghu is the fourth largest video broadcasting platform in China. The number of registered users has just exceeded 100 million, which is not a small gap compared with the top three. Therefore, in addition to the "full platform synchronous broadcasting" kind of big IP drama, they didn't get a piece of the exclusive IP drama. This kind of platform will pay more attention to the recommendation of new plays. What if there is a fire? It can not only enhance the reputation of the platform, but also help the platform to attract users.

After making up his mind, Pei Shaoze asked Zhang Fan to ask the person in charge of the platform.

Coincidentally, Mr. Liu, who is in charge of the source procurement of Linghu TV, has come to Rongcheng for a meeting in recent days. After Zhang Fan conveyed Pei Shaoze's idea, the other party readily agreed to meet the next day.

Pei Shaoze takes Zhang Fan with him, and Mr. Liu also brings an assistant. They eat in a quiet private restaurant.

Mr. Liu said with a smile, "is Mr. Pei looking for me for folding paper? I've heard that your play has been approved and is now looking for a broadcasting platform. " People in the circle are really well informed. It is estimated that many people know about Pei Shaoze's continuous talks with the three major platforms.

Pei Shaoze said bluntly: "Mr. Liu guessed right. I talked with several companies before, but they didn't come to an agreement. It's not that I'm arrogant and can't accept the low price buyout, but I think that this play really has the potential of fire. It's too bad to buy out millions."

General manager Liu

Mr. Pei is very interesting. He is a young man. He is a producer for the first time. He is an unknown actor. The director is also a new director of three stream online drama. How can he get self-confidence?!

However, Pei Shaoze's confident eyes still infected president Liu. He said with interest, "how much do you think the price is appropriate?"

Pei Shaoze said: "I want to try the box office split account model."

Each other's eyes suddenly stare big, obviously did not expect that he will have this kind of Sao operation.

Pei Shaoze said calmly: "I know that the box office is generally for online movies. If you buy one for a few yuan, you can watch it in two hours. The audience of network drama is seldom willing to spend money to pursue drama. We can set the price lower, with small profit and quick turnover《 Folding paper is a 20 episode drama. The first 10 episodes are free, and the last one is 0.5 yuan, which adds up to 5 yuan. Those who really like the show should be willing to spend their pocket money to support it. "

President Liu looks dignified: "but if the public praise of this play can't be hit after it's broadcast, the audience who will spend money to buy the play will only be about 100000, and the money collected in the end will be less than one million yuan, you will lose miserably and even become a laughing stock in the circle!"

Pei Shaoze chuckled: "I've invested 10 million in this play, but no platform will take the risk of spending 10 million to buy out an unknown campus network play. If you divide the account, I will bear most of the risks. You only need to provide a platform. Good sales, win-win for both of us. If it doesn't sell well, you won't lose much. After all, you don't have to spend a cent on the show. You just need to give a few days' recommendation on the home page. "

Mr. Liu frowned and fell into meditation.

After a while, seeing that the other party's look was a little bit loose, Pei Shaoze continued: "director Zhu's work" traces of disappearance "is also produced by Tianxuan. Now it's being filmed in Yaan film and television city. Should Mr. Liu have heard of it?"

Mr. Liu's eyes brightened: "director Zhu's criminal investigation drama has always been very popular, and I like it very much."

"If we have a good cooperation on folding paper, then the disappearing trace can also be shown exclusively on Linghu TV." Pei Shaoze pause, seriously look into each other's eyes: "Mr. Liu do not want to find a long-term cooperation of the producer?"

General manager Liu

The platform side really does not need to bear too much risk in the account sharing mode. This is just like when you open a shop and a brand side sells goods on one of the shelves. If it sells well, the supermarket will get more money. If it doesn't sell well, the manufacturer will be responsible for its own profits and losses.

In addition, "traces of disappearance" is preferred to be broadcast on their platform. The leading actor of this play is called "hot search" on the day of starting up. Moreover, it is also an Omega actor who plays the role of alpha police. You can imagine how hot the topic is. It will definitely attract a large number of onlookers at that time!

Even in order to seize the exclusive broadcasting right of director Zhu's play, he is willing to try folding paper by the way.

Mr. Liu narrowed his eyes with a smile: "what does Mr. Pei think about the specific proportion of the sub accounts?"

Pei Shaoze said: "for the first cooperation drama, in order to show sincerity, 60% of the platform, 40% of the platform. When the time comes, please ask director Liu to give more recommendations. Let's talk about the next play when it's finished. "

Four or six points, the platform accounts for the majority, but it is barely acceptable.

Mr. Liu thought about it carefully and said, "I'm very happy to cooperate with Mr. Pei. In the future, you should give priority to my play."

Pei Shaoze: "that's nature. Let's talk about the specific contract between the two parties. "

It was a pleasant meal.

After coming out of the restaurant, Pei Shaoze asked Uncle Zhong to take him back to the company. On the way, Zhang Fan couldn't help asking: "Mr. Pei, do you want to give them the play" the lost trace "? Zhu's plays used to be broadcast on bear TV. "

Pei Shaoze lips lightly: "you have been in the circle for so long, remember - don't believe anything without seal and signature."

Zhang Fan

Sure enough, the bait put forward at the negotiation table may not really be fed to the other party.

Zhang Fan admires Mr. Pei's shrewdness. He has a hunch that the play "folding paper" will explode. Maybe even Linghu TV will follow suit. If the next play is broadcast on this platform, Mr. Pei will have the capital to negotiate and get excellent conditions.

After going home that night, Pei Shaoze was in a better mood.

He went to the bathroom, took a shower, and went to his desk to see the first draft of the contract that the attorney general had given him.

At this time, the mobile phone rang. It was a group photo from Pei Shaoyan: "brother, I'm having dinner with Cheng Xia, hehe!"

There was a mess of black kebabs on the table.

Pei Shaoze frowned: "you don't take Cheng Xia bad, eat these unhealthy barbecue in the evening."

Pei Shaoyan looks innocent: "brother Cheng Xia wants to have a barbecue. He brought me here, OK?"

Pei Shaoze

Do young people like barbecue so much?

Pei Shaoze looks at Cheng Xia, who is eating kebabs with his head down in the photo. The more he looks, the more cute he feels. He sends a line: "since Cheng Xia loves to eat, you are allowed to eat with him for a while."

Pei Shaoyan: "large scale double standard site!! You praise what Cheng Xia does, and you scold what I do, right? "

Pei Shaoze: "it seems to be."

Pei Shaoyan is so angry that he doesn't want to recognize his brother anymore. He decides to follow Cheng Xia in the future.

Pei Shaoze smiles and sends a message to Cheng Xia: "are you eating out?"

Cheng Xia put down her kebab, took off her gloves and quickly said, "it's early to finish shooting today. Let's go to the barbecue restaurant nearby for dinner. I'm a little tired of eating box lunch in the cast every day. My agent's elder sister will improve the food for us. "

There were indeed four pairs of chopsticks on the table, and Cheng Xia's agent and assistant were obviously present.

It's just that the environment of this store is not particularly good. It belongs to the roadside stall that people often go to. Pei Shaoze worried: "do not eat too much, be careful to go back to the stomach discomfort, let the agent buy you some medicine for diarrhea, just in case." He used to have a bad stomach. It was easy for him to have a stomachache when eating barbecue, so he never touched barbecue.

Cheng Xia is very happy to say: "it's OK, brother Pei. The online evaluation of this store is good. There are staff members of the crew who came here yesterday. This kind of roadside stall, I from snack to big, all poisons do not invade There are also several photos of delicious food.

Looking at his energetic appearance, Pei Shaoze didn't have the heart to beat him, so he said, "OK. You eat first, and then you talk back. "

Cheng Xia didn't return to the hotel until more than 10 p.m.

After taking a shower, he locked the door and sat by the bed to send a video call to Pei Shaoze.

A moment later, Alpha's familiar face appeared on his mobile phone. Pei Ge may have worked overtime every day these days, and his laptop is still on. There is a trace of fatigue between his eyes and eyebrows. Cheng Xia immediately felt distressed: "didn't you sleep well?"

The young man on the mobile phone screen has wet hair and clear eyes. Pei Shaoze's tired eyes disappear in an instant. He raises his lips and says, "I listen to you and go to bed on time every day."

Cheng Xia frowned slightly: "your hair is long. Are you too busy to cut your hair after you go back from Ya'an?"

Pei Shaoze picked up his mobile phone as a mirror and looked at his own Liuhai carefully: "long?"

Two people are video, he so take mobile phone in the mirror, a face suddenly enlarged in the screen, even eyelashes are clearly visible. Cheng Xia's heart suddenly jumps. Looking at it from a close range, this alpha is so handsome. The glasses are good-looking. I really want to rush over and kiss him

Cheng Xia cheek fever, small voice: "is a little long, free to cut it."

Long hair a little bit, such details can be seen, it can be seen that young people care about him.

Pei Shaoze felt warm and took his mobile phone away. Looking at the young man, Wen Yan said, "OK, I'll listen to you and cut it tomorrow."

Cheng Xia asked anxiously, "you look very tired. Are you talking about the playing platform of folding paper

Pei Shaoze turned the camera and showed Cheng Xia the contract in the computer: "at the beginning, it really didn't go well. All the three platforms collapsed. Fortunately, the partner has finally been determined today. The play will be broadcast exclusively on Linghu TV, starting from July 10, with two episodes a day. It will be summer vacation, and there will be a lot of students chasing dramas. Don't worry, I'll arrange it. "

Cheng Xia believes in Pei GE's decision. Pei Ge chooses Linghu, and Linghu is definitely the best.

Talking to other platforms, Pei Ge obviously also spent a lot of energy. Seeing that he worked hard for the play, Cheng Xia wished he could fly to him immediately and hold him tightly.

Cheng Xia said seriously: "brother Pei, I can't help you with these things. I've worked hard for you these days."

It's really hard to negotiate with those people. However, for your dream, for you to stand on the biggest stage in the future and accept the praise and applause of countless people, what is a little hard work?

I just want to protect you to the highest throne.

Pei Shaoze said softly, "don't worry, I'm not tired. Your first work will be released soon. Let's look forward to it together. "
