'Wait a little longer?'
Everyone was slightly taken aback. Even Xiao Feifei looked at Ye Lingchen.
An exclusive purchase price of 50 million was definitely a high price for a TV series. There were many reasons why iPartment could sell at such a high price.
First of all, lifestyle comedies were not popular. There were too few people who could produce such a TV series. Logically speaking, the quality of one or two episodes alone could be said to have reached the peak. Moreover, the current popularity was very high and the prospects were promising!
Of course, there was also an element of gambling, which was to bet that the quality of iPartment would not decline.
Another reason was the bidding. With the three major online video companies bidding at the same time, it was easy to push for a high price.
50 million could be said to be the current highest price, but Ye Lingchen still rejected it.
Many people were secretly anxious. There would not be another opportunity like this if they missed it.
One must know …
The cost price of iPartment was less than 20 million! Just this one transaction alone earned him 30 million yuan! After that, coupled with the advertising fees, the fees given by the TV station, special advertising, and exclusive licensing, it was definitely a huge profit.
It might even net more than 50 million! What kind of concept was that?
Putting everything else aside, take For My Love as an example. Their actors and production costs were definitely more than twice that of iPartment. However, the total sum of the various expenses added up to 50 million was already very good. They would be thanking the heavens if they could net 10 million!
It was indeed very scary to set such a sky-high record with just one or two episodes. Xiao Feifei's new company's first battle could be said to be a complete victory.
The people at Banana TV were also stunned.
Crazy!
Tencent Video went crazy!
IPartment's crew went crazy!
Xiao Feifei went crazy!
Actor Y went crazy too!
Tencent Video offered such a sky-high price but was rejected. Everyone went crazy. No one would believe it if word got out.
As a matter of fact, the news was indeed exposed.
Since it was a bidding, it was only natural that more than one party knew the price. One of the companies leaked the news of the bidding for some unknown purpose!
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples!
"Motherf * cker! This world is crazy! "
"You must be telling me a story. It's a fantasy story!"
"Several major online video companies fought over iPartment, but Tencent Video offered 50 million, only to be rejected? Hehe, my brain isn't enough to process this. "
"Tencent is rich and overbearing. They're rich! But, this is too wasteful! "
"Is iPartment worth that price?"
"It's only been two episodes, and they're willing to spend so much money on it? Am I crazy, or is the whole world crazy? This is too risky! "
"The problem is that iPartment actually rejected it! What does that mean? "
"It's inflated! iPartment is inflated! He couldn't recognize himself anymore! Wahahaha, I dare to bet that he will absolutely regret it! "
"The ratings will be calculated tomorrow. If iPartment's ratings aren't good, it definitely won't be able to sell for 50 million! Aren't you an idiot if you don't want to earn money? "
[Previous poster, did you not watch iPartment? I'm not trying to discourage you, but iPartment's viewership is likely to be off the charts. If it's heaven-defying, I'm guessing that there will be more competitors who will want to buy it tomorrow. It might even break 50 million. Tencent Video wants to bet on iPartment, but I think iPartment rejected it because of its confidence!]
"Damn, this is no longer a world that I can understand!"
"Yeah, I can't understand it either. It's too crazy!"
"It's too easy to make money. Even the wind can't blow this fast!"
"What's a genius? Actor Y is a genius. Whether it's an actor, a movie, or a TV series, he can choose any one of them and create an achievement that others will have to look up to for the rest of their lives. It's a test of the shadow cast on the hearts of his peers. "
…
The people were shocked.
The industry was also in an uproar!
The TV series that were released at the same time were overshadowed at that moment. Even For My Love, which had previously challenged iPartment, was acting like an ostrich, not daring to let out a fart under such circumstances.
Durian TV was so regretful that their hearts were twitching. They watched helplessly as their cornucopia disappeared and became a laughing stock in the eyes of the public. iPartment was rejected by them, and it caused a heated discussion on the internet.
IPartment's crew …
Xiao Feifei looked at Ye Lingchen. "Lingchen, is 50 million not high enough?"
Ye Lingchen smiled and said, "Not bad."
"Then why didn't you sell it?"
Xiao Feifei asked curiously. She did not have the slightest intention to complain. Whatever Ye Lingchen said, she just wanted to hear Ye Lingchen's opinion.
Ye Lingchen looked at the crowd and continued, "According to the quality of iPartment's follow-up, the price of 50 million is definitely not going to run away. Even if I reject it this time, there will definitely be people willing to buy it at a higher price next time. Therefore, I want to try and see if I can hit a higher price. After all, it's a guaranteed profit."
The most important thing was that he was not in a hurry to make that money. Only then could he sit on the fishing platform.
When everyone heard that, they all nodded. Young Master Ye was really smart.
"If our ratings are very high, it's very likely that the price will rise again!" Li Tai continued.
Everyone's eyes lit up and could not help but look forward to the ratings.
Banana TV was not popular among many TV channels. There were too few good works, and the ratings had always been at the bottom of all channels. Although it had improved recently, it could only stabilize at around 0.6. In fact, before iPartment's broadcast, even the crew estimated that the ratings would only be around 0.8.
Many people who were not optimistic even predicted that the ratings would be less than 0.5.
How much would it be?
How much could it be?
Ye Lingchen did not know, Xiao Feifei did not know, and no one knew. The only thing they could do was wait for the TV channel to calculate it.
The next day …
At eight o 'clock in the morning, a cool breeze blew past, immediately dispelling the sleepiness of the pedestrians on the road.
After finishing his morning exercise with Little Gray, Little Green, and Giant Tortoise, Ye Lingchen went to Xiao Feifei's company.
There were very few people in the company that day. The crew of iPartment had two days off.
That was specially approved. They had been busy for so long without a day of rest. After the filming of the TV series was completed, there must be a buffer time to rest. There must be tension and relaxation. Under Ye Lingchen's high-intensity work, no one would be able to hold on without rest. That would instead affect the efficiency of the offensive in the future.
In addition, iPartment was successfully completed. The results were gratifying, so naturally, there should be rewards.
However, while the crew was on vacation, Xiao Feifei was not. She sat in the office and made a few phone calls from time to time. Her pretty face was a little nervous.
When she saw Ye Lingchen, a smile appeared on her face. "Lingchen, you're here so early."
"The ratings are not out yet?" Ye Lingchen asked.
"No." Xiao Feifei shook her head. "The ratings for the major TV series are not out yet. Banana TV is rushing to calculate it."
"Don't worry, it shouldn't be bad."
"I'm just worried that our reputation before the release will affect the ratings." Xiao Feifei frowned slightly.
IPartment was not optimistic before. Although those who watched it last night would give it good reviews, she was afraid that many people would choose not to watch it. If that happened, the ratings would not be high.
"The previous ratings don't mean anything. Even if it wasn't high last night, the ratings will definitely get higher in the future." Ye Lingchen sat down calmly and quietly waited for the ratings to be announced …
…
Too many things have happened in the past two days. Starting tomorrow, the updates will resume bit by bit. I will also make up for the missing chapter today. Thank you for your support!
