As an actor, it makes sense for me to know some kung fu, right?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, the buyout price of 500 million is already the greatest sincerity we can give.

For collaborators like you who have no successful cases before, we have actually taken a lot of risks..."

The man opposite the office desk is a manager of a video website.

When Xu Lu and Feng Xiaoxia came to the door and said they wanted to cooperate by using the 'Shen Diao' to be played on the other party's website, the product was only quoted a price of 500 million.

And it's specifically said to be a buyout of the copyright, which means that after the 500 million is given, the broadcasting rights for the entire 48 episodes of "The Condor" will be given out.

You must know that the price offered by other TV stations can reach 20 for an episode. If calculated based on 48 episodes, it is nearly 1000 million!

Hearing this, Xu Lu didn't even speak.

Feng Xiaoxia said directly with an unhappy face:

"Manager Qi, your quotation is too insincere. The cost of filming for our Condor crew is more than 500 million. You must know that ours is a big production, and it is not comparable to those small workshops..."

"Hey...Mr. Feng, what you said may not be right. Small workshops have the advantages of small workshops. Their expenses and costs are also small!

You say you are a large-scale production, and I am afraid that most of the cost is spent on people. How much of it is spent on filming? "

Qi Lie interrupted directly:

"Moreover, you are filming a martial arts drama. Everyone knows that martial arts is in decline now, and very few people watch it, unless they are the old martial arts masters...

Moreover, the audience may not necessarily buy into the adaptation of the work of the great martial arts master. Unless it is the kind that can get more than seven Jianghu orders, the adaptation will be valuable! "

Hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia laughed and said:

"Manager Qi, I'm afraid you haven't paid much attention to the news in the martial arts circle recently, have you? To tell you the truth, the works of those martial arts masters are completely incomparable to our divine sculptures.

Don't rush to refute, I will tell you a statistic, that is, our Shendiao's novel has achieved the score of [-] Jianghu Ling. Who among the existing martial arts masters has such a level? "

"Nine pieces of Jianghu order? Mr. Feng, are you serious?" Qi Lie looked unbelieving.

Although he is not a person in the martial arts circle, he has been exposed to a lot of martial arts dramas, so he has some understanding of this area.

In Qi Lie's impression, TV dramas adapted from martial arts novels usually have ratings of more than six yuan, and their reputation after broadcasting is not much different.

As for the seven-eight-dollar Jianghu Ling, as long as the adaptation is not messy, the audience will buy it very much.

But the man named Feng in front of him actually talked about the Nine-dollar Jianghu Order, which was a bit ridiculous.

You must know that none of the current martial arts masters has such an honor for their works. Those who can win the nine-dollar martial arts order are all the martial arts masters who have closed their books or even passed away.

Feng Xiaoxia obviously had some predictions about Qi Lie's reaction.

At this time he nodded and said:

"If Manager Qi doesn't believe it, just log on to the official website of the Martial Arts Novel Association and take a look at it to find out whether it's true or false."

Upon hearing this, Qi Lie was not polite and directly opened the computer next to him.

Soon, he took a deep breath.

Because he saw the content on the official website of the Martial Arts Novel Association, this novel called "Shen Diao" has indeed received such a terrifying evaluation as the Nine-Grade Jianghu Order.

"I'm sorry, I underestimated the quality of your drama. The price of 500 million is indeed too low!"

Qi Lie finally took a breath and spoke slowly, but soon he made another turn and said:

"But you also know that the martial arts market is not booming nowadays. Even if the works of great masters are adapted, young audiences may not buy it, so..."

Before he could finish speaking this time, Xu Lu, who had never spoken much, suddenly said:

"In addition to direct pricing, does your website have any other billing models, such as billing based on pay-per-click?"

"Well, Mr. Xu, our website only operates the former model. As for the payment-based payment you mentioned, we do not have such a model.

But now that we know the level of the ‘divine eagle’ in your hands, our price must be more than 500 million, let me give you a number...”

Qi Lie just said this, but unexpectedly Xu Lu had already stood up.

Feng Xiaoxia on the side also stood up and said with a smile:

"Excuse me, Manager Qi, I'm afraid you don't know that the filming cost of our Condor crew is more than 2000 million. No matter how high the price on your website is, it shouldn't be higher than this amount, right?"

Hearing this, Qi Lie also felt a little embarrassed and said:

"Ahem, that's true. Except for popular dramas, you can't get 2000 million for other dramas, especially unpopular ones like martial arts!"

……

After walking out of the company where the video website is located, Xu Lu and Feng Xiaoxia got into the car together.

"Mr. Xu, this is already the third video website, and I can't even give you a price!

These people really have no vision. We, the Divine Eagle, won nine Jianghu Orders, which the audience will definitely love to see..."

Feng Xiaoxia said somewhat depressedly.

In fact, compared to the producer's depression, Xu Lu had a much better attitude and suddenly said:

"Xiaoxia, let's just expand the layout a little bit. Since these video websites can't afford the price, can we buy a video website and broadcast it ourselves?"

“Buy a website?”

Hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia was really shocked.

Xu Lu nodded and said:

"That's right! Just buy a video website that is about to go bankrupt and is ready to be sold. We will broadcast it ourselves!"

"Isn't this... investment a bit too much, Mr. Xu?"

Feng Xiaoxia said hesitantly.

He is just a producer. He doesn't understand the operation of buying a video website at all, right?

But Feng Xiaoxia really admires Mr. Xu's courage.

Just because other video websites couldn't give a price, and Shendiao didn't want to sell to those stingy TV stations, he actually planned to buy a video website and run it himself.

I'm afraid few people can achieve this kind of grandeur.

Feng Xiaoxia was still hesitating, but Xu Lu had already made up his mind and said:

“The investment won’t be huge, it’s just the money to buy the website and the money to maintain it later.

To buy a video website that is about to go bankrupt, tens of millions is probably enough, not too much, and the company can definitely spend it.

Our video website is different from other websites in that we do not need to burn money to grab users.

Through conversations with the people in charge of these video websites today, I found that none of them have the concept of members paying for clicks..."

Looking at Mr. Xu talking eloquently in front of him, Feng Xiaoxia muttered in his heart:

"Looking at Mr. Xu's confident look, it doesn't look like he just made it up on the spur of the moment!

Could it be that he has been considering this matter for a long time? Just brought it up now? "
