The road to the pinnacle of the entertainment industry

On the first day the new song was released, Yan Yifeng fell into despair.

"It's fine if Liu Hui wrote the song."

"For a newcomer who debuted, he spent more than 1000 million yuan on the promotion of his new song. Xinghui Entertainment is too much."

Holding the release data of the new song in his hand, Yan Yifeng cursed.

Her new song had only 10,000+ downloads on the first day, far from her expected 100 million downloads.

As for Xinhui Entertainment's newcomer Lu Chuan, the number of downloads of the song reached more than 800 million on the first day.

A self-deprecating song "I'm Ugly, But I'm Gentle", did not sink because of his ugly appearance.

On the contrary, because of his appearance, he gained more attention and downloads.

Looking at the data in his hand, Yan Yifeng began to regret secretly.

If she hadn't left Xinghui Entertainment back then, she only needed to sing a song composed by Liu Hui to become a first-line artist.

There is no medicine for regret in the world, people must bear the corresponding consequences for their choices.

Xinghui Entertainment, Liu Hui's office.

After spending more than half a month, the post-production of "Journey to the West" was finally completed.

Liu Hui is sitting in front of the computer in the office watching "Journey to the West".

"It's very good, whether it's the picture quality or the special effects, it's much better than the 86 version of "Journey to the West" in the previous life."

"The performances of the actors are also very good."

"Especially Wu Daxing, he performed Sun Wukong's spirituality to the fullest, and he already has the demeanor of a six-year-old boy in his previous life."

"It didn't live up to the reputation of the four great classics in the previous life. If this TV series is not popular, it's too much for heaven."

Liu Hui watched the TV series and secretly commented in his heart.

Just as he was watching, there was a knock on the office door.

"Mr. Liu, Director Ou of Haicheng TV Station is here."

Huang Jie who knocked on the door and came in said to Liu Hui.

"Let him in."

Liu Hui paused the broadcast of the TV series.

It's time to talk about the broadcasting of TV dramas.

Prior to this, Liu Hui had not contacted other TV stations.

Huang Jie greeted Liu Hui and hoped to talk to Haicheng TV Station first.

Xinghui Entertainment has a cooperative relationship with Haicheng TV Station.

For the filming of "Legend of the White Snake", Haicheng TV station invested 20% of the filming funds, so Liu Hui agreed to her request.

"Mr. Ou, hello."

"Mr. Liu, hello."

The two sides shook hands, sat down after a few polite words.

"Director Ou, I believe Huang Jie has already introduced you to "Journey to the West". The samples of the first few episodes were sent to your TV station by our company three days ago. You should have watched them."

"I don't know what kind of contract your TV station is going to sign?"

Liu Hui didn't have any nonsense, and asked straight to the point.

"Mr. Liu, we have already seen the sample. "Journey to the West" is very well-produced, and it is a very rare TV series."

"After negotiation, our TV station is willing to pay 300 million yuan per episode to buy the right to broadcast the first round."

The sincerity of Mr. Ouyang Yang is very great.

This year, none of the TV series introduced by their TV station have exceeded 300 million for a single episode.

"300 million episodes, Mr. Ou, the sincerity of your TV station is good."

Liu Hui didn't expect the other party to offer such a high price. He thought he could get more than 100 million per episode at most.

"However, I cannot sign this contract."

Hearing Liu Hui's words, Ou Bo was a little surprised.

"Mr. Liu, 300 million yuan per episode is already the highest price for a single episode offered by our TV station this year."

"25 episodes, a total of 7500 million, I have taken a big risk, and the advertising revenue may not be able to recover."

"Our TV station can't raise the price anymore."

Ou Bo didn't expect the other party to be dissatisfied with his sincerity.

"Master Ou, you misunderstood."

"What I want to sign is not a contract of 300 million yuan for a single episode."

Liu Hui knew that the other party had misunderstood him.

"Mr. Liu, do you want to sign an advertising sharing contract?"

Oppo understood.

"Yes, I want to sign an advertising revenue sharing contract."

Liu Hui replied.

"Mr. Liu, how much advertising revenue do you want?"

The advertising sharing contract is acceptable to Ou Bo, but he doesn't know if Liu Hui will open his mouth.

"We, Starlight Entertainment, don't charge a cent for the first-round broadcast rights of Journey to the West. I only want [-]% of the advertising revenue share."

Liu Hui said.

"Mr. Liu, is [-]% too much?"

"We have predicted that the advertising revenue of TV dramas will be around 1 million."

"We also need to deduct the promotion expenses of TV dramas. Our TV station basically doesn't make any money."

Oppo said in embarrassment.

"Director Ou, your forecasted advertising revenue is only 1 million?"

"What is your forecast for the ratings?"

Liu Hui didn't understand how the other party calculated.

"Mr. Liu, our predicted audience rating is 3%~3.5%, and the advertising revenue is calculated based on this audience rating."

Oppo replied.

"Mr. Ou, with all due respect, you have predicted the ratings too low."

"Well, let's change the contract."

"Based on ratings."

"The viewership rate is less than 5%, and we, Starlight Entertainment, don't want a penny of advertising revenue."

"More than 5%, Xinghui Entertainment wants half of the advertising revenue share."

"If the audience rating exceeds 10%, our Xinghui Entertainment will have [-]% of the advertising revenue."

"what do you think?"

Liu Hui said confidently.

"Mr. Liu, it is possible to achieve a 5% audience rating, but this 10% audience rating is unlikely."

"Tang Xiaguo has not had a TV series with more than 20% ratings for more than 10 years."

Ou Bo reminded Liu Hui.

"Director Ou, you underestimate "Journey to the West" too much."

"Will you sign this contract?"

Liu Hui didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, if Haicheng TV station didn't sign, he would change to another TV station.

"Mr. Liu, your contract is obviously for our Haicheng TV station to take advantage of."

"I have no reason not to sign."

Oppo is not stupid.

Even if the ratings of the TV series exceed 10%, 1% of their TV station's advertising revenue can exceed [-] million yuan.

"Okay, that's it for the contract."

"But I still have one condition, which is not negotiable."

Liu Hui said.

"Mr. Liu, what other conditions are there? Tell me."

Oppo was a little curious.

""Journey to the West" must start broadcasting on the same day as Shengshi Entertainment's TV series "Dark Forest"."

Liu Hui said loudly.

"Mr. Liu, do you want to stop Shengshi Entertainment's "Dark Forest"?"

Oppo was a little surprised.

"Dark Jungle" is Shengshi Entertainment's annual major drama, and the filming cost is 6.5 million, and the advertising promotion has been overwhelming recently.

Many people predict that the ratings of this TV series will exceed 5%.

It is too risky to compete with it for ratings. Otherwise, the ratings of "Journey to the West" may not even reach 1%.

"That's right, I just want to stop Shengshi Entertainment's "Dark Forest" and grab its ratings."

"Master Ou, do you dare to fight this battle?"

Liu Hui asked loudly.

Hearing Liu Hui's words, Ou Bo thought about it.

"Dark Jungle" was broadcast on Mango TV, an old rival of Haicheng TV.

In the past few years, Haicheng TV Station has been suppressed and unable to lift its head.

Oppo doesn't mind a ratings battle with his old rival.

The contract proposed by Liu Hui makes Haicheng TV station have no risk of losing money.

Obtained the premiere rights of "Journey to the West" at zero cost, and lost, at most, the advertising revenue will be less.

But what if he wins?

"Mr. Liu, sign the contract."

"I also want to have a good fight with Mango TV."
