Chapter 81 Formal signing of the agreement

When Zhong Jun heard this, he frowned slightly.

Things have come to this, Su Chen Xingyi must be supported.

"It's not that difficult to do, actually. We just have to be prepared to lose money."

The two brothers have already watched "Wulin Wai Zhuan" and they are sure that there will be no shortage of satellite TV stations to choose from .

However, in recent years, with the development of the entertainment industry, viewers have more and more options, and the ratings of TV dramas have been getting lower and lower.

If the viewership rate exceeds 2%, it can be considered a big hit.

However, the investment cost of "Wulin Waijia" and the lineup of actors and directors determine that first-tier satellite TV stations will not be interested in this drama.

Because of their influence, it is even more difficult for second- and third-tier satellite TV stations to produce popular programs.

So in the final analysis, Zhong Jun felt that Su Chen had positioned himself too high.

"Let's just indulge him for once. It won't cost us much anyway."

"We can use our connections to contact Kyoto TV."

"It's just that if this show loses money, we will have to impose more restrictions on him in the future."

Zhong Lei agreed with this.

So, that night, in his own private little cinema.

Zhong Jun personally came forward and invited Xu Tao, director of the purchasing department of Kyoto TV.

Kyoto Satellite TV is between the first-tier and second-tier satellite TV stations. Moreover, as an outer member of the Beijing circle, Xingyi has some relationship with Kyoto Satellite TV.

Therefore, Kyoto TV became Zhong Jun’s first choice.

After watching the first few episodes of "Wulin Waijia", Xu Tao was quite satisfied.

"Not bad, not bad! It's his first time filming a TV show, and he can shoot it like this. Su Chen is so talented."

"Boss Zhong, you found a treasure!"

Out of businessman's instinct, Zhong Jun asked for the highest price.

"What? 5 million per episode?"

However, when Xu Tao heard Zhong Jun's asking price, he almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

"Boss Zhong, I know that Su Chen is extremely popular now."

“But that’s in music!”

"Do you know the price per episode of the 500 million RMB production of Chengtian Jiahe called "The Lonely Queen"?"

You only invested 10 million in this drama, are you trying to steal the money?

It would be fine if he didn't talk about this, but as soon as he talked about it, Zhong Jun got angry.

Cheng Tian Jiahe used to be nothing in front of Xing Yi.

If Wang Jinhua hadn't brought a group of big-name stars to invest in Chengtian Jiahe, would it be what it is today?

"Director Xu, Su Chen's traffic alone is worth the price."

For the sake of Xingyi's reputation, he had to sell Su Chen's drama at a higher price.

Xu Tao: "That's in terms of music. In the field of TV dramas, everything is still unknown."

"The investment cost of 'Wulin Wai Zhuan' is there. If your asking price gets out, it will definitely make the entire entertainment industry laugh."

Zhong Jun immediately threw out his trump card: "We can sign a bet agreement!"

"The ratings broke 2%, 4 million per episode."

"The ratings broke 3%, 6 million per episode."

"The ratings broke 4%, 8 million per episode."

"After the broadcast of 'Wulin Wai Zhuan', if the figures are lower than the above, I won't take a penny!"

Moreover, Zhong Jun also upgraded Su Chen's plan.

When Xu Tao heard this, he was stunned.

The value of a TV series ultimately depends on its ratings.

If the ratings of "Wulin Waijia" can reach such figures, it will indeed be worth the price.

The current market situation is.

Many TV series with ratings of less than 2% cost five or six million per episode when they were introduced.

"The Princess Weiyoung" claims to have invested 500 million yuan, but they dare not say that their ratings will definitely break 2. If they don't, they won't get any money.

According to the quality of "Wulin Waijia" and Su Chen's popularity, the lower limit of the ratings will not be too low.

This is a great deal!

Xu Tao: "Mr. Zhong, are you sure?"

Zhong Jun nodded.

At that moment, the two parties immediately signed a bet agreement.

Then.

After upgrading Su Chen's plan, Zhong Jun and Tencent Video also signed a similar exclusive online broadcasting agreement.

Even if it fails to achieve such results in the end, and does not lose much money, Xingyi can still become popular through this incident.

There are no rules for investing in TV dramas. As long as every one of them makes money and attracts some attention, it’s also good!

This news immediately exploded the entire entertainment industry.

The people who had the biggest reaction, of course, came from the crew of "The Princess Weiyoung".

At this time, "The Princess Weiyoung" had just been sold to Mangguo TV for 5 million per episode, and was scheduled to be broadcast a week later. The online broadcast rights were sold to Youku Video for the same price of 5 million per episode.

We invested 500 million yuan, hired a popular star and a big director, but we only bought it at this price!

You sell a knockoff drama for 8 million per episode? Are you doing this to make people laugh?

Facing interviews with entertainment reporters.

Director Ju Jueliang couldn't help laughing: "The investment cost is 10 million, and it's sold for 8 million per episode? This price is very Su Chen!"

Zhong Hanliang: " It's a very thoughtful agreement! But the reality is cruel."

Angelababy: "Su Chen's appetite is much bigger than mine!"

…

On major social platforms, netizens from all walks of life are almost unanimously discussing this topic.

"The cost is 10 million, but the sales are 8 million per episode? Am I too ignorant, or is this world too crazy!"

"'Legends of Swordsman' challenges 'The Princess Weiyoung'! Ten million challenges five hundred million! Eight million per episode challenges five million per episode! This is a big deal!"

"Lock in the biggest entertainment news of the year in advance!"

"Is this what Brother Chen intended? Or is this a malicious hype by Xingyi?"

“It doesn’t seem possible!”

"Brother Chen is always taciturn, how could he do something like this?"

"This is news from within Kyoto TV, it can't be false!"

“…”

Seeing such a grand occasion, Kyoto TV, Xingyi and Tencent Video discussed it and felt that this was an excellent marketing opportunity.

The response was immediate.

Kyoto TV and Tencent Video made a high-profile official announcement, confirming the rumors on the Internet.

It was also announced that the first season of "Wulin Waijia" will be released next weekend at the same time as "The Princess Weiyoung".

This piece of news exploded the entire network.

The entire Internet is hotly discussing this incident.
