money trouble

Chapter 187 Sky High Copyright Fees

There are many friends who advised Yuan Bingqing, but Yuan Bingqing refused to admit defeat. She basically sold everything that could be sold at home, and her "toys" were naturally "doomed".Wu Qian's gym membership card was handled by her friend, saying that it was for her to relax. It was the two lace ladies who lived diagonally opposite Wu Qian's villa in No. [-] Manor.

Yuan Bingqing's popularity is not bad, although she looks very cold, but as a beautiful programmer, she is straightforward.There are quite a few friends who are willing to help her, but they don’t get much. After all, no one is a fool. It’s one thing to be willing to help, but another thing not to be optimistic. Those who help don’t expect Yuan Bingqing to pay back the money at all, so The 3 and the 5 are not much together.

To put it in a sad way, such a small amount of money can't even afford the copyright of a low-cost online TV series, so it's a competition with wool.The most important thing for a video website is content, without content there is no click-through rate.

Wu Qian is not particularly familiar with the operation of video websites, but he knows that this industry is very expensive. He asked: "Then how much money do you think will be needed to survive the difficulties and develop the website?"

Wu Qian's culture brightened Yuan Bingqing's eyes, as if a ray of dawn shone on her body.

"3000 million, only 3000 million is needed. I am confident that the website can be revived again. I have found two good online dramas. They are the debut works of the newly established crew. The production cost is not very high, but the theme is good and the actors are also very good. Be dedicated, win the copyright and do a good job in promotion, and you will definitely have good results.

I dare not say that the website has reached its previous peak period, but it will definitely be able to maintain it. Then there will be advertising revenue, and it will take some time to expand channels, and it will be no problem to return to around 20. "Yuan Bingqing already had relevant plans in mind, what was missing was money.

Without money, no one is willing to negotiate with the copyright owner for a share of broadcasting, because there is no guarantee.

Wu Qian shook his head and was very dissatisfied with Yuan Bingqing's words. He said, "Let me ask you, do you want to make money from video websites, or can't bear to watch the website you put your heart and soul into just die like this?"

"What do you mean?" Yuan Bingqing asked. She didn't understand the meaning of Wu Qian's words. The beautiful programmer is still a programmer, and she doesn't seem to be very good at emotional intelligence.

Wu Qian smiled, what he wanted was not a half-dead video site, that was too far from his ideal expectations.

"If you only want to hold a company, become a big boss, and then make money through video websites, then I'm sorry, I can't help you. But for Huang Xingyuan's sake, it's no problem to subsidize you one hundred and eighty thousand, and you don't have to you still.

If you regard this website as a sapling watered by your hard work, you can't bear to watch it die, and you are willing to continue to pay for its growth.Then you sell all the shares of the website company to me, and you will work for me in the future, and I will keep the website alive. "

Although Wu Qian's words were not loud, they sounded clearly in Yuan Bingqing's ears, like a lightning bolt in the night sky, hitting her mind directly.Yuan Bingqing didn't regain his composure for a while, but Huang Xingyuan looked shocked. He didn't care about Yuan Bingqing sitting aside, stood up and pulled Wu Qian aside.

"Wu Qian, this matter is not a joke. Let me tell you... Is your boy attracted to her? Even if you like her, you won't do this. According to my rough estimate, Yuan Bingqing's company estimates It's worth hundreds of millions, you don't really want to have a hundred million dollars just for the sake of having fun, you're so irrational!"

As the prince of the advertising media company, Huang Xingyuan, although Xinghuo Company does not operate a video website, but because of advertising and other businesses, he always has contacts with various video website companies, and he knows more about this than Wu Qian.

From Huang Xingyuan's point of view, Wu Qian's acquisition of Yuan Bingqing's home video website is simply a joke.

The development of video websites is really faster than burning money with fire. The copyrights of TV series, movies, online dramas, cartoons, variety shows, etc. are not cheap.There is also the development of channels, the construction of server equipment, promotion, and marketing. After this series, the money will be gone.

The most important thing is that now the established pattern of China's video websites has taken shape, the three giants stand together, Youtube and Station B are eyeing each other, it is not easy to get along, but how many small websites below are struggling to support.

Huang Xingyuan believed that Wu Qian had taken a fancy to Yuan Bingqing, otherwise there would be no reason to do so, this is not charity!
Wu Qian could see that Huang Xingyuan was really worried for him, he patted Huang Xingyuan on the shoulder, and sighed softly: "There are some things you don't know. Do you remember Jiang Boda, that guy signed with the top ten video sites The contract probably means that his variety shows must be broadcast exclusively, and the same type of programs are not allowed to log on to those websites during the contract period.

Do you think I am helping Miss Yuan?No, I really need a video website of my own right now.Those giants can't make up their minds, and they can't shake them, but the matter of Yuan Bingqing gave me a new way of thinking.Don't worry, I'm not such a fool with a brain, I won't do that kind of thing.But if she...haha, it's not bad. "

Huang Xingyuan's mind turned quickly, and he instantly understood some of Wu Qian's thoughts. Whether he likes Yuan Bingqing is a secondary issue, and it's just incidental. The key is her family's video website!
"Fuck me, Jiang is so vicious? Angkor, your enemy is a bit strong this time. If there is something I can do, feel free to say it. If you can help me, help me. If you can't help me, just say it." , Our relationship, you understand me." Huang Xingyuan said.

Wu Qian nodded, expressing his understanding.He had no intention of competing with Jiang Boda, but the opponent regarded himself as an imaginary enemy and kept chasing him.That being the case, let's fight.

Yuan Bingqing looked at Huang Xingyuan and Wu Qian who were talking in the distance with a complex expression, and felt that the fifteen buckets were pumping water in his heart.Yuan Bingqing knew that Huang Xingyuan was reminding Wu Qian that she didn't hate Huang Xingyuan. Anyone would be cautious about such things, and it would be better to be clear.

She understood Wu Qian's words, and what Wu Qian said was right in her heart. She really just wanted to see the website she set up to survive. Whether she could make money was secondary. awareness and persistence.

Seeing Wu Qian and Huang Xingyuan walking back, Yuan Bingqing quickly stood up. The outline of the abdominal muscles can be seen on the flat belly. The figure is really good. How can this be a person who often sits on a chair and typed codes in front of the computer? The shape a person should have.

"Wu Qian, did you still mean what you said just now?" Yuan Bingqing asked nervously, she wondered if Wu Qian would change his mind after the conversation between the two.This is not a gentleman's verbal agreement, just say what you say.

Huang Xingyuan picked up the juice on the table and drank half a cup in one go, then said, "You talk about Angkor, I'm going to the gym. Miss Yuan, you have met a noble person, it's up to you whether you can grasp it."

After all, Huang Xingyuan left. He knew that what Wu Qian and Yuan Bingqing were going to discuss next would be more confidential, and he was not suitable to listen here.

Wu Qian nodded to Huang Xingyuan with a smile, and then said to Yuan Bingqing, "Talk to another place, come with me." After finishing speaking, Wu Qian led Yuan Bingqing to the second floor.

The senior management of the gym didn't know that Wu Qian was here, and the deputy general manager was shocked when he saw Wu Qian.

"Chairman, hello, I didn't know you were here. This... hello, hello." The deputy general manager looked at Wu Qian excitedly. It was the first time he talked to Wu Qian. It's an honor.

Seeing the hot beauties following Wu Qian, the deputy general manager felt envious. Rich people are different.

"You go out first, I'll use your office to discuss something." Wu Qian waved his hand to let the deputy general manager leave first.

"Okay, Chairman, you are busy." The deputy general manager nodded and left, and he didn't forget to close the door when he went out, with a wonderful expression on his face.

"The chairman's habit is a bit powerful. Why don't you take it to your own office in the office building and talk about things in my office, oops..." Thinking in his heart, the deputy general manager walked towards the cleaning room. You need to say hello to the cleaning in advance, and you will definitely need to clean it up later.

Yuan Bingqing followed Wu Qian into the closed office with a complicated mood, feeling a little sad in her heart. She and the deputy general manager thought of going together, thinking that Wu Qian should do something to her.

Wu Qian did feel that Yuan Bingqing was hot and sexy, but he really didn't have those thoughts at the moment. After staying in the orphanage for a while at noon, he felt very calm, not to mention that this was a serious matter, so how could he mess around.

"Sit down. By the way, beautiful programmers are really rare." Wu Qian pointed to the reception sofa and said, he naturally sat on the boss chair.

Yuan Bingqing saw that Wu Qian didn't mention those requests for the time being, she felt relieved, and said: "Lea Calf and Tracy Zhou are all beautiful programmers, and even Victoria's Secret signed model Carly Kerr Laws, they are all programmers, and women can be programmers too."

Wu Qian looked at Yuan Bingqing and said with a smile, "Do you know what the beautiful programmer reminds me of?"

Yuan Bingqing didn't know why Wu Qian started chatting with her, but the other party was the patron's father, so he had to take good care of her, so he continued, "What?"

"The whole world thinks that programming is done by men, but there are still women who do it very well. It's like the whole world thinks that makeup is what women are best at, but the world's top makeup artists are men. So I agree, no Occupation is determined by gender." Wu Qian said.

Yuan Bingqing smiled, and her smile was very inconsistent with her temperament, and she felt a little shy, probably because she seldom smiled in front of men.

"Let's talk about your video website, what do you think of what I said before?" Wu Qian said, he didn't continue chatting, the business is important.

Yuan Bingqing looked at Wu Qian, thought for a while, and asked, "Wu Qian, thank you for your willingness to help me, but before that, I would like to ask, do you know anything about the development and operation of video websites?"

Wu Qian shook his head and said, "I probably know that I need to buy various copyrights. Otherwise, there will be no content on the website, and there is no way to attract people. I don't understand other aspects."

Yuan Bingqing smiled secretly in her heart. This man is a bit naive. She thinks it's better to tell the matter first. She doesn't want to do things that trick people into attracting investment. If the other party doesn't understand, it will lead to losing money later. Ashamed, risk notification must be done well.

"What you said is not wrong. It is crucial. The link that spends the most money is buying copyright. Just like last year, the copyright budgets of the three giant video website companies were 300 billion, 250 billion and 100 billion respectively. Of course I'm just giving you an example to give you an idea, not that my website needs that much budget.

Now is the era when copyright is king. They rush to premiere broadcasts and exclusive broadcasts to drive traffic. Some companies even fund themselves to create variety shows or TV dramas. This is also to increase exclusive resources. After all, it is still copyright.

The second is to develop additional projects of the website, such as games, various live broadcasts, etc., which is also an open source method, but there are also many related expenses and things.Furthermore, I don't know much about the promotion and marketing arrangements and strategies. My father and special personnel in the company are in charge. "

Wu Qian understood, and he asked: "In the final analysis, it is copyright competition. I have no idea about copyright fees. Can you give some examples in this regard?"

Yuan Bingqing nodded, probably because the air conditioner was a little cold, she sat up straight and covered her exposed abdomen with her hands, saying: "In the current environment, the awareness of intellectual property protection is getting stronger, and relevant laws and regulations are becoming more and more strict. The more sound it is, the greater the awareness of the genuineness of the majority of netizens. Together, these aspects further enhance the importance of copyright.

In recent years, the copyright fees of TV dramas have soared year by year. When I first started the website 4 years ago, the copyright fees of a major domestic TV drama were only tens of millions, and rarely exceeded [-] million.

Now it has soared to 200 million per episode, and this is not the price of the exclusive broadcast. Like the "Flowers Blooming That Year" two years ago, the copyright fee for Penguin's exclusive broadcast was 445 million. For 74 episodes, the whole drama has cost more than 3 million yuan. Last year, the single-episode broadcast fee of popular dramas has reached more than 600 million yuan.

So in many cases, even a few giants can't stand the exclusive broadcast, and they will work together to win the copyright.However, judging from this year's situation, exclusive broadcasting will be a major trend in the future.In addition, there are copyright fees for variety shows and introduction fees for movies..."

Speaking of the latter, Yuan Bingqing himself felt that his confidence was lacking, and he did not give any more detailed examples. Thousands of words were merged into one word, money.

Wu Qian rubbed his chin, saw Yuan Bingqing who was dressed super cool, and said, "Turn up the air conditioner twice, you are quite cold. Domestic dramas are so expensive, why do you keep staring at them? In [-], foreign dramas were also very popular when I watched them, how about the price?"

Yuan Bingqing went to the door and turned up the air conditioner a bit, then turned to Wu Qian and said, "Foreign dramas are very cheap. A few years ago, Penguin bought a lot of dramas from HBO at one time, including the popular "Game of Thrones" and so on. The cost of one episode is only about 3 dollars. But first of all, the review of foreign dramas is very troublesome, and then you can’t watch the price of one episode. Overall, it’s still a lot of money.”

Wu Qian was startled when he heard Yuan Bingqing's words. He is a loyal "Game of Thrones" fan. It is a real big-budget TV series. Although it is a TV series, the production cost is very high, no less than a movie. Like an epic movie, it's brilliantly crafted in every way.Such an awesome drama only costs 3 knives per episode?It's just like cabbage!

"Why is it so cheap? Didn't the final season of "Game of Thrones" claim to cost more than 1500 million dollars per episode? The copyright fee is so worthless?" Wu Qian asked.

Yuan Bingqing shook his head and said, "Because I bought a lot of episodes at one time, the price given by the other party is very low. Besides, that drama is broadcast to the world, not just for the Chinese market.

You're right, the final season of "Game of Thrones" cost $1500 million per episode, but they're already making money locally.The TV drama copyrights of Tianchao are expensive, mainly because a large part of the money goes into the pockets of the stars. "

"Co-authoring is to use celebrities to drive traffic and clicks. Let's not talk about the quality of the drama itself? Are the prices of those facial paralyzed stars so high?" Wu Qian is very disgusted with this kind of putting the cart before the horse.

Like some movies, which claim to invest 1 million yuan, but turned out to be 8000 million yuan into the pocket of the star, Wu Qian never went to see the movie, the acting skills are awkward and the special effects are everywhere, it feels like a waste of time.

Yuan Bingqing nodded helplessly, and said: "This is the case now. In fact, netizens also want to watch movies and TV dramas with rich plots and solid acting skills, but the output is indeed too small, and they have become fast-moving consumer goods. Contributing a round of calories will almost lose value. It is worth it." There are too few domestic dramas that are played twice and three times.

"Nirvana in Fire", which is known as "Quanyou of China", is a very good work. Its online copyright sold 8000 million yuan at that time, and now it has been exported to overseas markets. But how many classic dramas like that can there be, and many eyes stare at So, there is no competition at all.

So I used to focus on low-budget online dramas. Although there are no big-name actors in those online dramas, the actors are more dedicated and able to endure hardships. The production cost is not much, and they can’t afford high-end special effects. The design of the scene and scene is very careful, and there are very few goofy shots, which can really excavate conscience works.

The copyright fee for an online drama is at most tens of millions, and the lowest is only a few million, and sometimes it can be negotiated.Good promotion and operation can also have good results.According to the income ratio, it is no worse than the TV series of big-name stars. "

Wu Qian had a similar idea in his mind. He didn't talk about this issue again. This can be discussed after the acquisition. After all, these contents already belong to the scope of strategic deployment in the later stage, so it is still too early to say this.

"Let's not talk about this for now, I won't give food to those traffic stars. Let's talk about the acquisition of your website." Wu Qian paused, and then said: "As I said before, I I plan to acquire all the shares of your video website company, is there any problem?"
