Charm male god

Chapter 213 Copyright Negotiations
early august.

A piece of news from Yahoo detonated the entire domestic network.

The content is the ratings list of Tiga in Sakura Country until the tenth episode.

From the list, we can see that among the ten episodes aired, the highest ratings were 10.9%, the lowest ratings were 6.7%, and the average ratings reached a terrifying 8.6%.

You must know that among the domestically exported TV series, the only one with a ratings of over [-] is Three Kingdoms.

The rest of the response was generally mediocre.

The average ratings of Lu Yeming's work are about to break [-], which shows his influence in Sakura Country.

“The copyright seems to be sold cheaply!”

It was Jiang Guonan who spoke.

At this time, his face was full of apologies.

He was responsible for Tiga's overseas copyright. It was not that Sakura Country had no intention of purchasing Tiga's copyright before, but the prices offered were insulting.

After Jiang Guonan took over, he negotiated with many TV stations in Sakura Country and finally sold the first round of Tiga's rights in Sakura Country for 500 million Sakura coins after tax per episode.

Twenty-five million is just over 500 million Chinese coins per episode.

Including the need for translation and re-dubbing, it's not even as profitable as selling another one in the fourth round of domestic production.

Zhang Wenting smiled and shook her head when she heard the sound and said: "This is not your problem. Domestic TV series that can be exported cannot be sold at high prices. The boss himself is surprised that you can negotiate the price."

Zhang Wei smiled and nodded in agreement.

Some popular domestic TV series are sold to other countries, and they are basically sold at low prices. It is already a very good thing to sell more than 100 million episodes.

Fangyuan and Tang Xiao stood behind the three of them.

The place where the five people were was the exit of the international flight at Star City Airport.

Jiang Guonan was relieved by the two.

I felt a lot better inside.

But when he thought about the losses he had brought to the company, his eyes ignited with fire and he said: "But it's not bad! The other party has taken a fancy to our copyright, and they can take advantage of the losses they suffered before!"

The reason why five people are at the airport.

It was to welcome the inspection group from Sakura Country.

"We want to check out Tiga's filming location, but I don't know if it's convenient!"

Zhang Wenting and others received the inspection team.

After a brief self-introduction at the airport gate, the two parties went to the garage and boarded the business bus.

There are six members of the Sakura Country inspection team.

When the leader made this request.

Zhang Wenting nodded and said: "Yes! However, many facilities are in a damaged state after filming. I hope Mr. Eiji doesn't mind!"

After Zhang Wenting finished speaking, Fangyuan immediately started to translate.

The Mr. Eiji she was talking about nodded.

Tiga's filming set has never been cleaned up.

The main reason is that although the venue was rented at the beginning, after Lu Yeming asked to transfer money to investors some time ago, Zhang Wenting was asked to purchase the venue with the remaining money in the account.

That is what Lu Yeming said.

Three hundred million was missing from the books.

soon.

The group arrived at Tiga's filming and television center. When Eiji saw the model building covering an area of ​​more than 1000 square meters, his eyes were filled with joy. This uncontrollable joy made Jiang Guonan thoughtful.

“Are these models expensive to build?”

Zhang Wei stood up and replied: "The main thing is to look at the details of the model production. If it is the same standard as ours, the cost per square meter will be almost 2 yuan."

Fangyuan serves as a translator.

She immediately repeated it in Sakura language. When translating the price unit of [-], she carefully converted according to the exchange rate.

40 Sakura coins per square meter?

Eiji looked around and estimated that it should be a thousand square meters, which also meant that the construction of this magic city scene cost at least [-] million Sakura coins.

TV stations have limited funds to purchase films every year. The high cost will make it difficult to recover the investment funds. Even if the production is extremely sophisticated, the price will be too high and no one will pay for it.

Therefore, it is very important to control the production cost of a TV series.

"Your company's cost for filming Dega is 500 million per episode, right?"

Zhang Wenting nodded when she heard Ying Er's words.

And after getting a positive answer.

Eiji sighed and said: "The production cost is a bit too high!"

At this time Eiji was squatting in front of a building.

With his sharp eyes, he could see even the furniture carved into the building.

at this time.

He finally found out that Tiga cost as much as 500 million per episode.

That's where the money is spent.
The visit lasted for an hour, and then the group arrived at Lu Yeming's studio. After the two parties sat down in the conference room, Eiji said directly: "We intend to purchase Ultraman's exclusive copyright in Sakura Country, please." I don’t know if we can clearly state the copyright quotation of the other party. If the price is right, we can sign a contract directly.”

The purpose of Eiji coming here is for Ultraman's copyright.

In his opinion, this type of worldview has great potential.

Although the cost is high, he is confident in controlling the cost. For example, he feels that the details of the interior of the building are completely unnecessary.

Jiang Guonan is responsible for copyright.

Hearing this, Zhang Wenting looked at him.

After understanding, Jiang Guonan stood up and said: "You should also know the growth rate of Tiga's ratings. It is only a matter of time before the ratings exceed [-]."

Jiang Guonan had already prepared.

Fangyuan on the side helped him translate at the same time.

The long list of data made Eiji frown.

He is bound to win the Ultraman setting, but if Jiang Guonan continues to say so, the copyright fee may not be an astronomical figure.

But at this time, he could only wait for Jiang Guonan to finish speaking before taking the move.

It's night time.

Zhang Wenting reported today's negotiation process to Lu Yeming.

"Jiang Guonan's pricing seems unacceptable to Eiji, but the other party has no intention of giving up. They have already arranged hotel check-in. It is estimated that the tug-of-war for this copyright transaction will continue for some time."

Zhang Wenting's face was full of smiles.

The initiative in today's negotiation process is on their side, and there is no doubt that Tiga is popular in Sakura Country. It can be said that even if Eiji does not buy it, other film and television companies will still come to negotiate.

Lu Yeming heard the sound and said softly: "What is the price of Jiang Guonan?"

Hear this.

Zhang Wenting immediately replied: "Jiang Guonan not only wants money, but also requires a certain share of the royalties in addition to the copyright fees, or does not need the copyright fees at all and directly exchanges the copyright for the profit share of the film. However, Eiji directly refused this condition. Got it!"

Jiang Guonan is very greedy.

The starting point is the copyright fee for one billion Sakura coins, or a direct commission of 20.00% of the profits, which deviates too much from Eiji's idea of ​​a buyout.

The copyright fee for One Billion Sakura Coins may not seem high, but Eiji has plans to delve deeper into this aspect. Rather than buying it out completely, he would rather make his own world view, and then forget about fighting a cross-border lawsuit with Lu Yeming Studio.Anyway, it is not a problem for this kind of lawsuit to drag on for ten or eight years.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Yeming was very popular in Sakura Country, he would have even done it this way.

Lu Yeming was also happy when he heard the sound.

How to say~
Jiang Guonan's killing was really brutal.

One billion Sakura coins equals 5000 million Chinese coins, which is equivalent to forcibly increasing Eiji's production costs.

Not to mention the 20.00% revenue share~
It’s hard for Eiji to continue talking.

If he had been in Eiji's shoes, he would have walked away long ago.

at the same time.

Eiji, who was staying at the hotel, was discussing with the five people accompanying him.

What can be agreed upon is that the conditions Jiang Guonan said today are absolutely unacceptable.

"Mr. Eiji! With all due respect! Instead of purchasing the copyright, why don't we just strike first? Isn't it just a lawsuit anyway? If it takes a few years, I think our company's legal department can still do it!"

I can see this person saying this.

Several others nodded in agreement.

The character of most people in Sakura Country is like this, they are sticklers for trivial matters and have no sense of righteousness.

Wen Sheng Eiji shook his head and said: "I have thought about it, but they are not just a film and television company. Their boss is very popular in our country, and he is also very closely related to the Thousand Island Group. I just don't want to offend the Thousand Island Group!"

Lu Yeming often cooperates with the Thousand Island Group. This is no longer a secret in Sakura Country. There was news before that someone asked the TV station to cooperate with Lu Yeming, but the Thousand Island Group took action and removed all those who said this.

Only then can Tiga be released in Sakura Country.

Although it is a rumor.

But he didn't want to try it out. The power of the Qiandao Group was really terrifying, involving many fields such as business, politics, and crime. It was not an exaggeration to say that the Qiandao family was the second-in-command of the Sakura Kingdom.

Several people who heard the sound had angry expressions on their faces.

The next few days.

Both sides continue to test each other's bottom line on copyright issues.

at last.

It was the last day of Lu Yeming's vacation.

The two sides took a step back.

"We hope to exchange 20 billion Sakura coins and [-]% of the revenue for the copyright of Ultraman's setting, but the additional condition is that we hope that you can improve the relevant settings of Ultraman and cooperate with us in Sakura If possible, we hope that Mr. Lu Yeming can join our creative team and become our consultant if possible."

Tiga only sold 13 billion Five Sakura Coins in the first round of Sakura Country.

Eiji was willing to pay 20 billion Sakura coins for the copyright of Ultraman's setting. His courage made Zhang Wenting and others speechless.

In fact, during the time when the few people were discussing, it was not that other film and television companies in Sakura Country asked for quotations. However, after hearing that 20 billion Sakura coins were just for the copyright fee for one film, there was basically no follow-up.

Jiang Guonan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He gave Zhang Wenting a vague look, and the latter looked at Eiji after understanding and said: "We feel your sincerity, can you give us 10 minutes? After all, your conditions mentioned our boss, and this may require communication with the boss. one time."

Pretty good excuse.

Eiji nodded.

Then Zhang Wenting and Jiang Guonan walked out of the conference room.

"I think this is their limit! Ask the boss! If there is no problem, hurry up and sign the contract!"

Jiang Guonan had a lewd smile on his face.

The main thing is that he is also gambling.

I bet Mr. Eiji likes Ultraman enough.

Otherwise he wouldn't have set such an outrageous price.

Hearing this, Zhang Wenting nodded and dialed Lu Yeming's number. After getting through, she repeated Eiji's conditions.

Hearing this, Lu Yeming nodded while getting dressed: "I can send the relevant settings right away. As for the consultant, I can only say that if I have time, I will cooperate with you to answer questions, but I can't answer any questions!"

Hearing this, Zhang Wenting nodded.

After hanging up the phone, he discussed with Jiang Guonan for a while, then entered the conference room and repeated Lu Yeming's answer to him.

soon.

The two parties reached an agreement. As for the detailed terms of the contract, Eiji decided to discuss it tomorrow. The reason was naturally that he wanted to see the worldview Lu Yeming prepared for Ultraman first.

Ultraman's world view is basically very complete.

Although Tsuburaya often messed with settings in his previous life, it wasn't too outrageous. Compared to Marvel's complex world view, Ultraman's was more youth-oriented.

Tiga's world view is different from that of the Ultra Brothers before. What Lu Yeming prepared for Eiji this time was the world view of the Ultra Brothers.

"Land of Light? Father of Ultra? Mother of Ultra? King of Ultra? Brothers of Ultra? Ion Spark Tower? This setting is interesting!"

That night, Eiji looked at the setting draft in his hand with fascination.

Lu Yeming also thoughtfully provided pictures for some things in the setting.

Even detailed data about Ultraman's father and others are included.

Um.
These data all come from the cards released by Ultraman. Lu Yeming once spent a huge sum of 70 yuan at a seafood market to buy seven pounds of genuine Ultraman cards.

of course.

Being able to sell by the pound means that the value of these cards is not high.

The detailed settings made Eiji feel like his brain was shaking. Zhang Wenting and Zhang Wei, who had sent the information, looked at Eiji's current state and wondered whether they wanted to call 120.

After all, it feels like he might leave at any time~
soon.

I can’t say it’s fast~
It took Eiji almost two hours to write almost 20 words of content plus dozens of pictures.

After collapsing the text.

He looked at the two people sitting opposite him with fiery eyes and asked, "Can I use all these settings?"

After obtaining the copyright of Ultraman.

His original plan was to build his own worldview, but after seeing Lu Yeming's proposal for his cancellation, Eiji felt that it was completely tailor-made for him.

Hearing this, Zhang Wenting smiled and said: "Yes! The boss means that if you are willing, you can use the content here, but the price is 15.00% of the original conditions, which will increase to [-]%."

This was Zhang Wenting's impromptu idea.

After all, Jiang Guonan said that the other party seems to be determined to win the copyright of Ultraman.

Hear this.

Eiji, who was originally excited, turned serious.

This made Zhang Wenting feel nervous, but her face didn't change much.

The room became quiet at this time.

A full minute passed.

Just when Zhang Wenting was about to let go, Eiji sighed and said: "Deal!"

As soon as the words came out.

Zhang Wenting began to regret it.

I feel like if I mentioned 20.00%, the other party might agree.

His heart suddenly felt the same as Jiang Guonan's after seeing Diga's achievements in Sakura Country.
