I just want to be a good person

Chapter 158 You Should Change Office

The next day, a conference room in the iQiyi headquarters building.

It was still the same group as yesterday, but everyone was quite serious at the moment, sitting on both sides of the long conference table.

Negotiations on the exclusive broadcasting rights of "Qi Pa Shuo" have been going on for more than an hour, and the price has also risen from the initial 400 million to 500 million.

However, Paradox Media also made a corresponding concession, that is, it promised that iQiyi could obtain the highest priority exclusive copyright selection for the second season of "The Story of Strange Flowers" at a cap price of 1000 million.

What this means is that no matter how popular the second season of "The Story of Strange Flowers" is, even if other websites offer 1000 million yuan, iQiyi can buy the exclusive broadcast rights for [-] million yuan.

Of course, if the price offered by other websites does not exceed 1000 million, it will still be the one with the highest price.

And this supplementary clause actually reflects the optimism of both parties on "The Story of Strange Flowers" from the side.

After all, all the current data show that this program still has great potential that has not yet been tapped. If iQiyi is willing to spend some effort to operate it after winning the exclusive broadcasting rights, even Qin Yan's initial broadcast volume of "breaking [-] million" can only be achieved. It's a "small goal".

……

"Mr. Shen, then our general price has been determined in this way, let's talk about some details."

With a smile on his face, Li Guoxun could see that he was quite satisfied with the final plan.

"Okay, let Mr. Qin discuss the details."

Shen Wang nodded, his mouth was really dry after talking for a long time just now.

Anyway, the result of the negotiation was basically in line with what he and Qin Yan had expected before coming here, so the rest of the matter would not go wrong.

"Okay, Xiao Liu, you can discuss it with Mr. Qin and finalize the contract."

Li Guoxun also seemed a little bored, and after explaining a few words to a deputy director next to him, he extended an invitation to Shen Wang.

"Mr. Shen, why don't you go to my office for a cigarette?"

"Okay!"

Shen Wang got up, and the two of them went straight out of the meeting room, letting everyone in the room talk about unimportant things.

In the director's office, Li Guoxun poured a cup of tea for Shen Wang, and as soon as he sat down, he smiled meaningfully: "Brother Shen, Qin is always talented, but he is a bit strong."

"Haha, I'm lucky. I haven't started my business for a long time, but I have always been helped by noble people."

Shen Wang leaned forward to light a cigarette for Li Guoxun, and replied with a smile, "I met Qin Yan before, and now I meet Brother Li again. Good things happen to me."

"Brother, as long as you know what's in your heart."

Li Guoxun originally wanted to give Shen Wang a good nod, but seeing that Shen Wang was not worried about it, he didn't say anything else.

"Come! Try my tea, the best Tieguanyin!"

Shen Wang raised his teacup and took a sip, then asked casually, "Brother Li usually likes to drink tea?"

"Hey, it's not like I like it. I drink it to relieve boredom when I have nothing to do."

"Brother Li, how can you, a director, still have time to do anything?" Shen Wang joked.

"Oh, I want to be busy."

Li Guoxun sighed, and complained half-truthfully: "Actually, I sound like a famous variety show director, but life is hard."

"Why?"

Shen Wang asked calmly: "Didn't iQiyi release several popular variety shows in recent years?"

Li Guoxun showed a sad face: "They all bought other people's exclusive broadcast rights, just like "The Story of Strange Flowers". It seems to be quite popular, but in fact, it doesn't make much money after deducting the purchase of exclusive broadcast rights."

"And the response to our self-made variety shows has been mediocre. If we fail in a few more projects, my job as a director will probably be over!"

Facing Li Guoxun's sighs, Shen Wang gently put down his teacup: "Brother Li, I think not only will you not be able to do it well, but you may be promoted further."

"Brother Shen, don't make fun of me."

Shen Wang said seriously: "I didn't... Brother Li, have you forgotten another thing about my visit this time?"

"Oh! That talent show, right?"

Li Guoxun shook his head, looking not very interested.

"Brother, now that we've finished talking, I'll give you a vaccination first."

"The draft has been too homogeneous in the past two years, and the audience has become tired of it, making it difficult to do."

"To be honest, we still have several draft projects in our hands and haven't started yet... You will most likely be disappointed in this matter."

"Brother Li, since this is the case, I will explain to you first."

Shen Wang didn't show any disappointment on his face, and poured another cup of tea for Li Guoxun.

"The talent show I brought this time is different from all the previous talent shows. It will definitely become the most popular variety show series this year, no, at least in five years!"

Regardless of Li Guoxun's surprised expression, Shen Wang continued: "Brother Li, to be honest, in my opinion, it's not so much a delusion to seek cooperation with iQiyi, it's better to say..."

"This is an opportunity that Paradox Media gave to iQiyi, and also to you, an opportunity to change the development direction of our country's talent show."

"..."

Li Guoxun opened his mouth slightly, speechless.

Shen Wang's sudden "rhetoric words" just now really caught him off guard.

In any case, he never expected that Shen Wang, who had always been modest before, would speak so loudly this time.

Li Guoxun subconsciously doesn't believe it, but he also understands that Shen Wang bragging to himself here is completely meaningless...

Could it be that this "Produce 101" is really so awesome?
Unconsciously, Li Guoxun really became looking forward to it, and Shen Wang didn't care to add another fire.

He looked around Li Guoxun's office and asked casually, "Brother Li, how long have you been using this office?"

Li Guoxun was stunned for a moment, but replied truthfully: "Six or seven years."

Shen Wang nodded: "Brother Li, take the time to throw away the things you don't use much, such as furniture."

Li Guoxun was puzzled: "Throw it? Why?"

"Because it won't be needed soon."

Shen Wang took it for granted: "After "Creation 101" is launched, Li Ge, your status in iQiyi will definitely rise like a rocket. Being promoted to a company vice president is not the minimum."

"At that time, the office must be changed. How can I use these rags?"

……

No matter how Li Guoxun felt in his heart in the end, Shen Wang's words had stretched his expectations to the fullest, and the purpose of this conversation had been achieved.

On the other hand, all the details of "Qi Pa Shuo" have been finalized, and the draft contract has been sent back to Shen Nan. As long as there are no problems, you can sign the contract at any time.

The matter of "The Story of Strange Flowers" is finalized, and the rest is "Creation 101".

The afternoon meeting starts at 101 o'clock, and the theme is to introduce the "Creation [-]" project from Paradox Media.

If all goes well, the two sides will even directly start discussing cooperation matters.

After lunch, Shen Wang returned to the hotel, wanting to take advantage of the break at noon to go through the PPT of the planning proposal again.

But he had only read a few pages when there was a knock on the door.

"Brother Qin, what's the matter?"

Shen Wang let Qin Yan into the room, feeling a little puzzled.

"Mr. Shen."

Qin Yan's expression was serious: "There is something I must ask you to think about again."
