Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Zhao Mingsheng laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I am really relieved that Wanqing can get together with you. When will your parents come over and get to know each other?"

When Xiao Yunhai heard this, his face showed embarrassment, and he said: "My parents may not be able to come. I don't know why, they never come to Yanjing."

Zhao Mingsheng said in surprise: "There is such a thing. It seems that your parents must have something to hide. It doesn't matter. It will be the same when your aunt and I go to Henan."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Thank you uncle for being considerate of us."

Chapter 331 Negotiations

As soon as he walked into the building of Hanhai Film and Television Investment Company, Zhao Mingsheng's secretary immediately greeted him.

"Mr. Zhao, Deputy Director Peng just called and said that he will bring some foreign guests over soon. Let us welcome them well."

Zhao Mingsheng nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Yunhai, let's just wait here."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Okay."

Five minutes later, a luxury business car slowly drove up to the front of the building.

Zhao Mingsheng and Xiao Yunhai immediately walked out and welcomed them into the company's reception room.

After the introduction, Xiao Yunhai had a preliminary understanding of them.

The leaders are Japan's Qingyan Film and Television Company and South Korea's GM Entertainment Company, and other excellent film and television companies from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

The staff made a pot of tea for everyone, Zhao Mingsheng said with a smile: "Thank you very much for being so optimistic about our "Scary Step by Step" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Let us be flattered by our excellence. I hope that the next negotiations will satisfy everyone.”

Fujita Chuan from Qingyan Film and Television Company had a smile on his face, and said in broken Chinese: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Xiao, I have already watched these two TV series when I was in China. When it was broadcast on Huaxia TV, it also got very high ratings. Therefore, our Qingyan film and television company decided to introduce "Scary Step by Step" and "Zhen Huan Biography."

Jin Changxu of GM Entertainment took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Xiao, this time we came here with great sincerity to buy these two TV series. To be polite, let's stop talking and go directly to Let's get to the point."

Zhao Mingsheng said with a smile: "Mr. Jin's words are exactly what I want. I wonder how much you are going to pay for these two dramas?"

Kim Chang Wook said, "We sat down and discussed it. One episode of "Scary Step by Step" is 100 million yuan, and one episode of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is 120 million yuan. We think this price is very appropriate."

As soon as the words finished, Xiao Yunhai let out a snort and laughed.

Peng Ximao frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Fujitagawa said: "Mr. Xiao thinks this price is ridiculous?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "I'm sorry, I didn't hold back just now, I lost my composure. When everyone came here, you should have a certain understanding of "Scary Step by Step" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Don't say anything else, just The total investment has reached [-] million. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous that you want to buy a [-] million TV series for more than [-] million?”

Jin Changxu said: "Mr. Xiao, you have to know that compared with China, our countries are far behind in any aspect. The income from your country's ratings reaching 20.00% may be lower than that in our country. Ten percent, or even [-]% can be achieved. And it is very difficult for a TV series to have such ratings, so I hope Mr. Xiao can understand."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Jin's words are a bit biased. I remember that there is a TV series called "Tribe of the Sun" in your country, which achieved a miracle of 30.00% ratings in your country, and the advertising fee reached an astonishing 23 billion Huaxia coins. This kind of income is much higher than ours in China. It is even higher in Japan, I am right."

Fujitagawa and Jin Changxu looked at each other, and said: "Mr. Xiao, it seems that you know our country very well. I wonder what price you are going to ask for to sell the two TV series to us?"

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "As Mr. Jin said, countries have different national conditions, so naturally it is impossible to treat them with the same standard. Perhaps a TV series worth hundreds of millions in Japan may not even reach tens of millions in other countries. So, I hope I can talk to you individually, instead of offering a total price like you do."

Just kidding, the price they offered is really too low. On average, each country only needs to spend 2000 million to buy a TV series with an investment of [-] million. What is the difference between this and Mingqiang.

Xiao Yunhai's words made everyone look at each other in blank dismay, and at the same time felt that Xiao Yunhai was not easy to deal with.

Fujitagawa looked at Peng Ximao and said, "Director Peng, we used to do this when we introduced TV dramas. I don't know when your country changed the rules?"

"Don't be impatient, we have never changed the rules." Peng Ximao frowned, and said to Xiao Yunhai: "Mr. Xiao has never been involved in the introduction of TV dramas, so he may not be very clear. For a TV drama, they always pay the total price I bought it, and then divided it according to the ratio. If you do this, you will break the rules of the film and television industry."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Businessmen seek profit. All countries do this for the sake of profit. At first glance, TV dramas seem to be sold at a high price, but in fact, eight or nine countries have one cent, which is the price of cabbage. I don't care about others. But my TV series are not so cheap."

Looking at Xiao Yunhai's firm eyes, Peng Ximao knew that it was impossible to open the gap from him, so he turned his head and said to Zhao Mingsheng: "Mr. Understand. You will not forget what I said before, right?"

Zhao Mingsheng said: "Boss Peng, please be considerate of us. A TV series worth [-] million yuan is sold to so many countries and you only get more than [-] million yuan. Is there such a business in the world?"

Peng Ximao narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "The price can be discussed again, but the trading method cannot be changed."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Director Peng doesn't need to put pressure on Mr. Zhao. On the contract, as long as I don't sign it, it is a piece of waste paper. Besides, besides Mr. Zhao and me, the copyright of "Zhen Huan" still has 30.00 yuan. The % lies with Yuexian. If it is sold at such a price, I have no face to inform her, and she will definitely not sign."

Peng Ximao suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. Xiao, many things need to be considered from the overall situation."

Xiao Yunhai smiled, and said: "If it's about the national system, don't say more than [-] million, even if I give it back, I'm fine with it. But now it's just two TV dramas, and it doesn't seem to affect the national level. I Xiao Yunhai is not a fool, if he wanted to take advantage of me, I'm sorry, but he really found the wrong person."

Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Peng Ximao was furious, stood up, pointed at Xiao Yunhai and said, "Xiao Yunhai, this matter is related to the Film and Television Bureau and the Ministry of Culture, you have to be responsible for your words."

Xiao Yunhai laughed loudly, and said: "Even if the Minister of Culture came here in person, I would say the same thing. I don't believe it anymore. Could this kind of thing be forced?"

"You..." Peng Ximao trembled with anger, and said, "You are too presumptuous."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Director Peng is serious. There is no problem where I put my words. If you don't believe me, you can find someone to comment on it."

Fujitagawa saw that Peng Ximao seemed unable to take down Xiao Yunhai, so he quickly pretended to be a peacemaker, and said, "Don't hurt your peace. Do you want to do business? It's better to make money by peace."

Xiao Yunhai clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Fujita's Chinese language is good. I don't know what you think of my proposal? If you don't agree, then forget it. As the saying goes, there is no righteousness in business, and there may be cooperation in the future Chance."

Jin Changxu frowned and said, "Mr. Xiao must do this?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Of course."

Fujitagawa and Jin Changxu looked at each other, stood up at the same time, and said, "I'm sorry, but we can't accept this purchase method, so let's stop here."

Xiao Yunhai chuckled, and said, "I'm sorry, I let you make this trip in vain. If you change your mind, you can directly contact Mr. Zhao. I will be very busy in the future, and I probably don't have time to deal with this matter. Please also Forgive me. Everyone, please."

Seeing that Xiao Yunhai really didn't intend to talk anymore, Peng Ximao said coldly: "Mr. Xiao, it seems that what I said this morning, you really took it on deaf ears."

Xiao Yunhai's gaze was like a sword, looking into Peng Ximao's eyes, and said: "Director Peng, there is no need to do this, if you don't sell it, you don't sell it. Believe it or not, as long as they walk out of here now, "Scary Step by Step" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" There will be no interaction with them in the future.”

"Not only that, but I also want to go to the film and television bureau to ask your director, why do you put pressure on us and blatantly intervene in our business transactions. Who gave you such rights? Is it you who have lost our interests? The film and television bureau is responsible for making up for us?"

Xiao Yunhai deduced from Peng Ximao's series of performances that Xiao Yuanyang was right, he definitely played some role in it.If it had nothing to do with him, Peng Ximao would definitely not be so furious.

And when he heard that Xiao Yunhai was going to the Film and Television Bureau to ask for an explanation, a trace of panic flashed across Peng Ximao's eyes.Fortunately, he was able to become the deputy director of the film and television bureau, and his mental quality is still good.In just an instant, it returned to normal.

Jin Changxu who was next to him laughed and said, "Boss Peng and Mr. Xiao, it's just a business deal. It's up to us whether it works or not. Why are you so angry?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm very unhappy today. The matter of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Scary Step by Step" is over. Even if you ask for a higher price in the future, I will not sell it. Alright, This matter is settled like this, I will go to the film and television bureau now. I don't believe it anymore, there is no reason in the world."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yunhai walked out angrily.

Peng Ximao was shocked, and quickly cast winks at Jin Changxu and Fujitagawa.

The two also knew the seriousness of the matter, and the secret relationship between themselves and Peng Ximao might be exposed, so they quickly grabbed Xiao Yunhai's arm and kept persuading him.

There was a sudden chaos in the reception room.

Zhao Mingsheng saw that the performance was almost done, so he said: "Yunhai, forget it, don't bother the film and television bureau with such a trivial matter. Everyone, this kid is young and vigorous, and he can't bear the slightest grievance. Please don't mind me." .As for "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Scary Step by Step", forget it, we will not sell it."

Seeing that two such excellent TV dramas were about to fail, Basong Sawan Susi, the director of Thailand Dongbang Film and Television Company, who was eager to get rid of the domestic difficulties, said in exceptionally fluent Chinese: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Zhao, our Dongbang Film and Television Company The company is willing to have a private discussion with the two, please give us this opportunity."
