Rebirth 07 Becomes the First Internet Celebrity.

I watched the sample film of iQiyifang and was very satisfied.

We also held a meeting to discuss it, and felt that the production was very fine and the content was fast-paced. Although I only watched two episodes, judging by their business acumen, the launch will definitely cause a lot of discussion.

This time, Jiang Xue and the others were called over to negotiate the price.

If both parties have no objection, the letter of intent can be signed today.

iQiyi offered a buyout price of 16 million, which can be said to be full of sincerity compared to several other companies.

The team members were also relieved to hear the price.

After looking at many houses, 16 million is the highest price at the moment.

Comparing various expenses, although it did not double, it was still a profit overall.

At this time, Jiang Xue asked about the profit-sharing plan launched by their company.

"You want a share?" the other party was puzzled.

In their opinion, the price offered by their company was not low. Although the products were well-made, they had calculated the costs and were sure to make money.

It would be too risky for the other party to split the profits.

Jiang Xue nodded, "Yes, I would like to consider profit sharing, but I don't know how your company calculates the price of profit sharing."

The other party explained their profit-sharing model to Jiang Xue and the others in detail. It had just been launched and was not yet perfect.

"Although I only got two sample episodes of this drama, I believe everyone can see the quality of this drama through just two episodes."

"The director of the filming was previously engaged in film shooting. She has her own bottom line for the picture and the actors. The screenwriter is the original author. The plot of her own secondary creation is more entertaining and has more values ​​than the novel."

"A good TV series can only be made with a good script, a good director and good actors," Jiang Xue said.

"Only in this way can good wine be promoted even if it is not well known. Our company has found the most professional team on the market to make a marketing plan for this drama. Take a look." Jiang Xue said as she took out the plan made by Cui Yuan and handed it to everyone.

"We have made full preparations. We are willing to take a gamble and hope you will give us a better price, just like the original intention of this activity you just launched. Only by sharing the benefits and coexisting can we achieve sustainable development."

After Jiang Xue finished speaking, their management discussed in low voices, and finally interrupted the conversation to ask higher-level managers to come over and talk to them.

"In fact, the profit-sharing model is risky for you, and for us as well. If we give you a relatively high rating unit price and you ultimately fail to bring the expected traffic to our platform, it means that you are using the original user traffic of our platform to watch your dramas and share our original money. After all, our platform has its own membership base and traffic. As long as you promote it, your site will attract a lot of viewers. We still have to pay for our traffic." The other party's person in charge, whose surname is Fang, said to Jiang Xue.

"Mr. Fang, that's not how it works. Don't forget that you're willing to spend 18 million to buy our drama, which subconsciously proves that you're as optimistic about it as we are."

Mr. Fang nodded and said that.

They are willing to sign a profit-sharing agreement, but they don’t want to sign a profit-sharing agreement with a high customer spending price.

Jiang Xue observed Mr. Fang's expression and continued, "The number of paying users on video websites is increasing rapidly. I think the biggest idea of ​​all video platforms is to grab higher commercial value from these users faster than their competitors."

"The opening of a revenue-sharing model for online dramas is a perfect benefit for the platform. First of all, it reduces the purchase cost. It is also not a loss to use your platform resources and membership base to exchange. As long as we succeed and prove that this model is feasible, the revenue-sharing model will attract more excellent teams."

"For the platform, it means acquiring a large amount of content at a relatively low cost. I feel it is a complete benefit with no harm."

After Jiang Xue finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but nod.

iQiyi platform agreed to Jiang Xue’s proposal, and the two sides began a discussion.

Calculate the price and finalize it. The unit price of grade A is 20 yuan.

The price is calculated as follows: Membership payment period share amount + patch advertising + embedded advertising

The formula for A-level web dramas is: partner share = VIP effective playback times x unit price per episode x 70%

After the calculation, Jiang Xue was very satisfied and signed the contract happily.

The platform is also very satisfied. It was originally going to cost 18 million, but now we have signed a contract for such a high-quality drama with the platform without spending any money.

As for the share of the money to be distributed, it really depends on your ability.

Just as Jiang Xue said, they succeeded and took a lot of money from their platform, which is a good publicity outlet. Once the publicity is released, it will definitely attract the attention of people in the industry and attract many high-quality teams to participate in this model in the future. Overall, as Jiang Xue said, it is also a healthy development model for the platform.

This is also the reason why they are willing to give Jiang Xue’s team a relatively high grading unit price.

Jiang Xue happily returned to the company with the contract. Other employees were confused as to why the boss sold the drama without spending any money and got the so-called profit sharing.

Jiang Xue said she had confidence in the drama.

Morale is still not very high.

All members of the team are confident in the drama, but everything is left to the data. No one has tried this model before, and it feels like too much of a gamble.

However, the contract has been signed, and it was the boss who signed it in person. They are willing to trust the boss and quickly devote themselves to the remaining work, purchasing the soundtrack copyright, continuing with post-editing, and re-dubbing if necessary.

Subsequent edited episodes are sent to the platform. After the platform reviews and confirms there are no issues, a formal contract is signed.

The iQiyi platform has also decided on the launch time, which is the end of June, during the summer vacation.

From Monday to Friday, there are two episodes a day, and members can watch two episodes first.

The platform started internal warm-up in advance and released some trailers and clips.

At the same time, many stills, shooting highlights, and feature film trailers have been released on Weibo. The editing of the content released is of very high quality, which has attracted a group of netizens who are looking forward to the official launch at the end of June.

Then, before this drama was aired and the post-production was just completed, Jiang Xue immediately launched another campus sweet drama of Yu Yue. The original director, original screenwriter, and original creative team changed the male and female protagonists. The male protagonist of the previous drama became the brother of the female protagonist, and many supporting roles of the previous drama made guest appearances in this drama.

Thanks to the cooperation with the previous drama, this drama was much faster from project establishment to post-production.

All departments are proceeding in an orderly manner and are waiting for the official launch of the first web drama at the end of June.
