Chapter 328 Bargaining
It has been three days since Yi Shuihan received the negotiation notice from Harbor TV Station.

The same girl named Su Lingke received him and also led him into Xu Changge's office.

But what is different from before is the attitude of the two.

Since the other party invites me to meet again, it means that the other party has made a decision and is interested in this TV series of mine. What the two parties want to discuss is only the price.

In Xu Changge's view, this TV series is of course a rare and good work, and what he wants to do is of course to lower the price of the other party.

"Mr. Yi, please sit down." Xu Changge invited Yi Shuihan to sit on the chair opposite his desk, this time his attitude was much more formal than last time.

After Yi Shuihan shook hands with the other party, he smiled and asked, "Since Director Xu called me again, he must have made up his mind. What is your decision?"

Compared with when he first came, Yi Shuihan has a lot more confidence, and the quality of the TV series "New Life" is his bargaining chip.

"Well, we also had a meeting in the station about purchasing your film." Xu Changge narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were sharp, "The reviewers of the past few days have all submitted suggestions, and they all agreed that this film The film is a good work."

Yi Shuihan waited quietly for the next article. As a buyer, he will never just praise the product, and how to bargain without picking out a few flaws!

Sure enough, Xu Changge continued: "But, with all due respect, the popularity of the actors in this film is really low. Except for you and Liang Yihui, the other actors are almost trusted. This has a great influence on the ratings of a TV series." Influence!"

In fact, what Xu Changge wanted to say was that even Yi Shuihan didn't have a big wrist, but he was worried that he would run away with anger if he said so, so he broke up with each other.

Of course Yi Shuihan understood what he meant, it was only because of limited funds that so many newcomers were invited to star in this TV series.

And he believes that under the guidance of himself and Director Jin, the supporting roles in the play will never be half a point worse than those so-called well-known supporting roles.

"I think what attracts the audience the most in a film is the plot and acting skills, not the popularity of the so-called actors." Yi Shuihan retorted.

"Leaving this aside, the small investment and small production of this TV series alone puts it at a disadvantage in the market. Now is the era of big IP and big production. It is difficult for works like Xinsheng to stand out among these works." Xu Changge continued.

"So, Director Xu doesn't want to buy this movie anymore?" Yi Shuihan smiled and said in a retreat.

If the other party didn't want to buy the film, there was no need for him to waste so much talk.

Seeing Yi Shuihan's confident expression, Xu Changge knew that he couldn't fool him, and he said with a smile: "On the contrary, we are also very optimistic about this film, even if it has various drawbacks, it's just that the price is open to discussion. "

"Well, I have roughly understood that your investment in this film is more than 300 million. In this case, I don't want much. Our station will give you 2000 million to buy out the copyright of this film. In this way, you will earn nearly 700 million." Xu Changge carefully observed Yi Shuihan's expression, hoping to find a trace of heartbeat or hesitation on his face, but to his surprise, Yi Shuihan's expression did not change at all.

For Haigang, a budget-conscious TV station, investing 2000 million yuan to buy a TV series is no small feat.

Yi Shuihan seemed calm on the surface, but in reality he was very dissatisfied with the price.

2000?This price was far from what he had expected.

Why would he let himself take such a big risk investment and spend so much energy on marketing if it was just to earn these millions.

If it is such a price, they can still make such a profit by selling it directly to the video website and operating it again.

2000 million, a total of forty episodes, which is equivalent to 50 per episode!
And the buyout is the copyright, not the first broadcast right.

Haigang Satellite TV's calculation is too good. Could it be that he is really a small character who has never seen money?

"What do you think, this price?" Looking at Yi Shuihan who remained calm, Xu Changge continued to ask.

He originally thought that a newcomer like Yi Shuihan who invested in TV dramas for the first time would be content with a few million profits, but now it seems that this guy is not so easy to fool.

Yi Shuihan looked at him with his mouth raised, although it wasn't an expression of disdain, but the feeling of lack of interest was shown.

"If you say that there is only this kind of sincerity in your station, then I don't think there is any need for us to talk further." Yi Shuihan responded with a smile.

"Then what price does Mr. Yi want? We can discuss it later!" Xu Changge said casually. He wanted to find out Yi Shuihan's psychological price so that he could negotiate.

If you are a novice in the business world, Xu Changge is likely to take his own psychological price.

But Yi Shuihan kept his eyes open. He said with a smile: "This work is priceless in my heart. Director Xu is embarrassing me. In this way, you can see how much you can give me at the most. If If it suits, I’ll sell your unit.”

Yi Shuihan spoke very sincerely, as if Xu Changge could agree to a slightly higher price, but whether it was suitable or not was not a matter of his words, everything was a routine.

Xu Changge obviously didn't expect Yi Shuihan to be so difficult to deal with, and he was not much different from those business elites who have been in the business circle for many years.

It seems that we can no longer look at each other with the eyes of ordinary artists.

He pondered for a while, and quoted a slightly higher price than before: "Well, I don't want to waste time, it's still the condition just now, 60 per episode! The payment will be paid to you all at once!"

An episode of 60, the total is 400 million, and the investment is only more than 300 million.

Such a return on investment is already considered a good condition for a small production TV series.

Moreover, a one-time payment is extremely rare for most TV dramas. You must know that most TV dramas take a long time to get back the money, and some may even be owed money for the purchase!
But for Yi Shuihan, such conditions were far from meeting his requirements.

It's not that his requirements are high, it's just that he thinks this TV series can be worth that much!

Just looking at the price increase of the other party, even if it is added four or five times, it will be difficult to meet his request!
Since this is the case, there must be such a way!
"Director Xu, to be honest, it's hard for me to be satisfied with your price, but if you ask you to raise the price again, you will take more risks!" Yi Shuihan looked at Xu Changge sincerely and said, "Since you are here I want to reduce the risk, and I am full of confidence in "New Life"! So, how about we make a gambling agreement?"
