Chapter 153 Uncle Gao Qun's Distress, "Conquer" Can't Sell
As for Li Lianlian as the introducer, coupled with the face of the other party, the courtyard house was finally cheaper by 100 million, and Jiang Bai had to thank him for whatever he said.
But ordinary gifts can't be offered, and the other party who directly gave 80 yuan probably wouldn't like it, so Jiang Bai asked Zhao Zhe to buy two bottles of good wine worth tens of thousands for him, and went to Li Lianlian's place to thank him one time.
But Li Lianlian also had a courtyard house in BJ. After entering, Jiang Bai found that the other party's courtyard was twice as big as his own.
The decoration is even more luxurious.
They drank one of the bottles here that day, and then the two used the strength of alcohol to compete in drunken fists in the yard, but this time Jiang Bai deliberately lost with the strength of alcohol.
This is all sophistication.
Later, Jiang Bai invited the original owner of the house to have a meal, which cost him 2000 yuan.
After everything was settled, Jiang Bai told his sister about it.
After Jiang Yue heard that Jiang Bai had spent so much money to buy a house, she almost threw away her mobile phone.
"Did I hear you right, 900 million?"
"Yes, 900 million, but I borrowed a loan from the bank, and only need to pay 300 million down payment and 60 various taxes and handling fees."
"That's also 900 million. Jiang Bai, you are really promising now. It would be great if our parents were here, and they could live in such an expensive house. Look at their son who has become so outstanding now."
When it came to this topic, Jiang Bai didn't feel too deep in his heart, because when he traveled here, his parents had passed away, but just talking about this topic, Jiang Bai still comforted his sister again.
"They will see, and sister, you are not bad now, you are already the backbone of kindergarten teachers."
"Yeah, I'm already a director now. When the director came over a year ago, he said that I was the youngest director he had ever seen, and he also said that if I do well next, he still plans to work here. While opening another kindergarten, I was asked to be the principal of the kindergarten.
But when he came over years ago, he told me about you, and said that their kindergarten has fully strengthened security measures now, and wanted to ask you when you have time to play the bad guy again. "
Hearing this, Jiang Bai recalled the principal's expression when he saw him killing all directions in the kindergarten two and a half years ago.
Although his social status is already very high now, Jiang Bai does not reject this kind of public welfare.
"Then wait for me for a while. If I have time later, I will try again."
"Okay, then you tell me then."
For the next period of time, Jiang Bai would go to the company every day to see if there were any new scripts. Now that he was short of money, Jiang Bai didn't like the scripts sent by some investors and directors.
Firstly, the money given was not that much, and secondly, the script itself was not that good, that is, he was occasionally invited to shoot commercials, so during this idle time, Jiang Bai learned some English every day, and even let Zhao Zhe asked some foreigners to practice speaking.
After a month, although Jiang Bai didn't say he could communicate fluently with the other party, he could express his meaning clearly with the other party if he slowed down.
This is already a great improvement for Jiang Bai, and it is estimated that he will be able to chat with these foreigners in English at a normal speed in a short time.
On the morning of March No. 20, after Jiang Bai practiced boxing in the yard and memorized English for a while, he planned to visit the company.
On the way, he called Uncle Gao Qun to ask how the Conqueror drama was going.
"Oh, don't talk about it, I can't sell it at all. The main reason is that I don't have much reputation in the circle. If I talk to others, they don't even care about me. And I also told them that this TV series is You starred in it, but they all said the subject matter was too sensitive, so they dare not buy it."
"How did this happen, Director Gao, didn't you win an award for a TV series before?"
"It's useless, it was several years ago, and the subject matter I'm shooting is quite sensitive."
"Then if you can't sell this, wouldn't you be in a blood loss?"
"It's not just a blood loss, I've spent a lot of money just for dinner in the past few months." Uncle Gao Qun said helplessly, but just after he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Jiang Bai had made a movie before, and the box office was very good.
If only domestic movies are counted, they can be directly ranked No. 2, second only to the comedy films shot by director Liu Zhenwei.
Even if some imported films are counted, it can be ranked No.6, and this year’s box office champion is Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, No.2 is Lord of the Rings, No.3 is Star Wars Prequel 2, and No. 4 is Spider-Man.
These are one of the best big IP.
But if you really want to talk about earning power, Crazy Stone can definitely be among the best!
After all, only more than 300 million yuan was invested.
So thinking of this, Uncle Gao Qun suddenly asked: "Why don't your company buy my TV series? I have invested a total of four million yuan. If you can watch it, buy it for five million yuan, and I will make a profit." It’s a hard-earned money, but how much you can sell it for is up to you.”
Hearing these words, Jiang Bai stopped suddenly.
"We bought the copyright of this TV series from you?"
"Yes, all copyrights will belong to you at that time."
Hearing these words, Jiang Bai was suddenly a little moved. The current TV drama market is still very hot. Some TV stations even spend tens of millions in order to buy the first broadcast rights of a TV drama.
Because they can earn back the money they spend now.
In addition to the advertisements inserted in the middle of two TV episodes, there are also advertisements that can also be displayed in a scrolling manner when the TV series is playing.
And in the few minutes before and after the TV series aired, the price of these advertising spots is also worth a lot.
Even if a 1000-episode TV series is bought for 300 million, they can earn at least [-] million just by selling advertisements.
For some popular dramas, advertisements will also be inserted at the beginning and end of the credits, that is, a certain brand that people often see on TV invites you to watch a certain TV series next.
"Director Gao, as far as I know, a TV series with 800 episodes can usually sell for at least 500 million in the first round. You can sell it for [-] million?"
"Hey, the seventy-eight million yuan is someone else. If I can't sell it, I won't get a penny back. My house is still waiting to be repaid. I thought I could recover the capital through filming TV dramas." Earn a little money, but now the house is about to be taken away by the bank, if I had known, I would not have taken this picture, and now I feel regretful."
Hearing this, Jiang Bai smiled and said: "Director Gao, other people sell things with desperate boasting. Why do you always say such things when you come here? Don't you be afraid that I will feel like I won't buy it after hearing this?"
"Then I can't cheat you. I really can't sell it now. If you don't want it, I can only think of other ways. Ask some bosses to see if they are willing to accept it."
"Director Gao, otherwise, how about I ask first and give you an answer later?"
"Okay, I'm not short of a day or two of work anyway."
After hanging up the phone like this, Jiang Bai directly called Xu Qingdong again, asking if he knew the high-level leader in charge of copyright acquisition of the TV station.
And he briefly talked about his intention to buy and conquer this TV series.
"I can ask you about this first. I still know a lot of people on the TV station."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"fine."
During the waiting period, Jiang Bai returned home to wait for the news, and Xu Qingdong didn't call back until the afternoon.
"I asked you a few TV stations, and they didn't come back to me until just now. They said that the director of this show had approached them before, but because the subject matter was a bit sensitive, but I told them that in the end only Yanjing TV was relieved and said it was willing to buy the broadcasting rights for the first round, but only for the late-night broadcast.”
"How much are they willing to pay for it?"
"1000 million, and when the time comes, you will have to cooperate with us to promote it vigorously."
As soon as Jiang Bai heard this, he knew that the other party was probably trying to save face for Xu Qingdong.
"Then is this a good thing? Will they go back on their word at that time?"
"Basically not. Yanjing TV Station is still very rich and powerful, so it would not be possible to do such a thing on it, and the director of the station is also my friend and I know everyone."
"Okay, then I hope you can make an appointment for me to see when they are free, and we can talk about it after meeting?"
"No problem, I'll ask you again."
Then Jiang Bai called Uncle Gao Qun and said that he bought the TV series for 500 million yuan.
And this is the last money left in Jiang Bai's hands.
When Jiang Bai bought a house before, he could actually buy it in full, but in that case, he would basically only have tens of thousands of yuan left in his hands.
Jiang Bai didn't want to make himself like this, but this opportunity is really rare.
If you buy 500 million yuan, you can sell it for 1000 million yuan. This is a transaction with a net profit of 500 million yuan.
And the reason why he gave Uncle Gao Qun 500 million is just the price proposed by the other party. You can't add money to the other party just because you have cooperated once.
After all, this is already a business.
I was able to resell 1000 million because I had this way, otherwise I would not be able to sell it in the hands of Uncle Gao Qun.
And Jiang Bai will definitely have to give Xu Qingdong some benefits afterwards, after all, he helped to tie the knot and used his connections.
For those who do not have such a way, even if they hold something worth 1000 million in their hands, no matter how easy it is to sell it, its actual value can only be zero.
But for those who have the means, even if the value of the thing in hand is only 300 million, it can be sold for 1000 million.
And the value of the network among them is also 1000 million or even higher, because everyone may have opportunities to cooperate in the future.
Two days later, Jiang Bai and Xu Qingdong went directly to Yanjing TV Station to have a talk. Afterwards, they had a meal, drank some wine, and finally talked about it.
The contract will be signed in a few days, and on the way, Jiang Bai will buy the copyright of this TV series from Uncle Gao Qun at his own expense.
So far, Jiang Bai has returned to being poor and white.
Because although the TV station bought the copyright, the money can't be paid back until the TV series is officially launched.
Because after they get the copyright, they also have to start investment promotion activities at the same time.
This is also the condition they negotiated before.
They don't know what the ratings of Conquer will be after it is released, so they can only use this method of getting the goods first, then selling them for money, and then paying for the goods after receiving the money.
