After binding the entertainment system, she made countless top stars

Just as Lu Wantang expected, the trailer of "The Princess Weiyoung" had a high number of views on Goldfish.net, but its popularity on the entire network was average.

Most people who follow Tang Xing want to be the first to hear his new songs.

As for TV series? Either they are not interested, or they think that the series shot by Tang Xing are definitely not good.

Under such circumstances, Chang Yun's negotiations with the TV station were not going smoothly.

He shook his head and sighed as he returned to the office, and lay down on the single sofa as soon as he came in.

Lu Wantang, who was doing the test questions, raised his head and asked, "Linhai TV station also rejected it?"

"Yes." Chang Yun closed his eyes. "Dongzhou TV and Nanzhou TV refused without even a second thought. Linhai said that if we are willing to lower the price, they will arrange it for us."

"Which time slot should I arrange?"

"Midnight theater, twelve to one."

"..."

It's broadcasted at this time slot, and you still want them to lower the price?

Lu Wantang's silence allowed Chang Yun to guess her thoughts at once.

"It's normal for them to ask for a price reduction. Although our asking price of 20,000 per episode is very low compared to those popular TV series that cost hundreds of thousands per episode, we don't have big-name actors and this is our first time filming a drama. Compared with low-budget dramas, this price is already high."

"Besides, it's December now, and there are so many dramas to be broadcast..."

Chang Yun has been very busy recently and has no time to look at the finished product.

Therefore, his impression of the 'Crown Princess' was still that she was just a test subject for Lu Wantang to play with.

Lu Wantang didn't insist on arguing with the other party. He just said "oh" and said:

“Then I won’t lower the price.”

Twenty thousand is already the bottom line. If it is any lower, if we can’t even make back the cost of two million, we will suffer a huge loss.

"Since Linhai TV doesn't want to buy it, then we can switch to other TV stations."

Before she finished speaking, Chang Yun, who had taken out his cell phone at some point, suddenly sat up:

"The show produced by Baihua Media has been scheduled!"

"Here, this is the news that was just announced."

Chang Yun didn't care whether Lu Wantang had a mobile phone or computer in his hand, and directly brought the screen in front of him.

Lu Wantang glanced at the date and couldn't help but frowned:

"It premieres this Saturday?"

"Isn't that the same as the expected broadcast time of our drama?"

"Oh, right." Chang Yun just realized it now. "What should we do? How about we postpone it to next year? Anyway, we haven't made an agreement with any TV station..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Wantang interrupted him: "No."

"The pre-promotion took so long. The longer it takes, the higher the chances of failure."

Chang Yun opened his mouth, wanting to persuade Lu Wantang to wait a few more days, but the phone in his pocket started vibrating.

He glanced at the caller ID, gestured to Lu Wantang, and picked up the phone.

"Hey?"

"Ah, it's Mr. Yang?"

"Yes, that's right. We are looking for a broadcast platform for our new drama."

“Well, we’re not going to lower the price.”

"You mean, you want to sign a bet agreement? Sorry, I still need to consult our boss about the conditions you proposed."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Chang Yun made a few polite remarks and quickly hung up the phone.

As soon as Lu Wantang heard this, he knew that things had taken a turn for the better, and he immediately asked, "Which TV station? Did they agree to broadcast our drama?"

"Tomato TV in Chunjiang City, Nanzhou." Chang Yun said, and then clicked a few times on his phone, "They seem to be quite sincere and sent the information of their own TV station."

As the assistant to the president of Tangxing, Chang Yun’s work email address has always been public and can be found on the official website.

The two of them clicked on the information and didn't speak for a long time.

Chunjiang City in Nanzhou is also located on the coast, and like Linhai, it is the largest city in Nanzhou.

Tomato TV is not official. It was invested and established by Chunjiang Entertainment Company after the official introduction of relevant policies. It is now one of the local TV stations in Chunjiang City.

Because of this, the competition between Fanqie TV and the official Chunjiang TV and Nanzhou TV is very fierce.

However, Tomato TV was always suppressed, and Chunjiang Entertainment also fell behind in the competition with Wansheng, Blueprint and other companies.

It's easy to imagine that they contacted Tangxing Entertainment this time purely as a last-ditch effort.

"There is no problem in cooperating with them. Tomato TV has been established for a long time and has several popular programs. The ratings are much better than those of ordinary local TV stations. Dongzhou can also watch Tomato TV now..."

Lu Wantang listed all the advantages and suddenly smiled helplessly:

"But they came to us like this, and didn't even ask to watch the show first... This decision was a bit hasty."

"They will come looking for us. I can guess a little."

Chang Yun coughed twice. "The person in charge over there seems to be a bit superstitious. It's probably because Tang Xing has been in the limelight recently, and he knew about our company's revival. He thinks our company might be able to create a miracle."

Lu Wantang: “…”

I never expected that the other party would think this way.

"Isn't this even more hasty?" She looked up at the sky speechlessly.

“There are many such people in the circle.”

After Chang Yun finished speaking, he mentioned the gambling agreement again.

Even though the person in charge of Tomato Channel is superstitious, he won't let his own TV station suffer too much.

So the bet agreement they are talking about is: if Tang Xing’s new drama fails to achieve the expected ratings or broadcast volume, they will only purchase the broadcast rights at the lowest average price in the industry.

On the contrary, once Tang Xing’s new drama becomes a hit, they will increase the price based on the ratings or playback volume, with no upper limit.

Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, after the new drama becomes a hit, if Tang Xing shoots another TV series, he must first sell the broadcasting rights to Tomato TV.

This agreement is also a win-win situation.

Besides, Tang Xing actually had no choice.

So Lu Wantang only thought about it for a while and then agreed.

After the two parties discussed online, they agreed on a time for offline signing.

In his dual capacity as screenwriter and boss, Lu Wantang finalized the broadcast time with Yang Ye, the head of Tomato Channel, which was 8 p.m. on Saturday, a prime time slot.

Before Yang Ye confirmed the time, he certainly knew that Wan Sheng’s new drama would also be broadcast at the same time on the same day.

But so what?

Their Tomato Channel is already under so much pressure that it can’t breathe, so what’s wrong with taking a gamble?

Perhaps it was because they had a very good understanding when deciding the time, so Yang Ye felt that he and Lu Wantang got along very well. They even exchanged personal contact information before leaving and were particularly enthusiastic.

"Next time you come to Nanzhou, remember to contact me and I'll treat you to a meal."

“I hope we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future.”

Then he seemed to have thought of something, "By the way, Wan Tang, do you have a partner now? If not, I'll introduce my son to you."

"Don't look at him as he's only a sophomore in high school, he's still good-looking. If you like younger guys, don't miss him. Besides, we're just getting to know him..."

The corner of Lu Wantang's mouth twitched, and he looked politely declined.

"No need, Uncle Yang."

"It's OK if you like someone older. I have a nephew..."

Lu Wantang was speechless and quickly winked at Chang Yun.

Chang Yun cheerfully helped to change the subject, and the matter of introducing the partners was finally over.
