As for Xiao Yunhai, who had successfully provoked a dogfight between Hongda Media and Dongfang Entertainment, he did not care about their fight at all.
His attention had been on his new work, iPartment.
Since the day iPartment was handed over to the Film and Television Bureau for review, Xiao Yunhai's phone had been bombarded with calls from major television stations.
However, Xiao Yunhai did not agree to any of them.
Seeing that the three TV series were currently in full swing, Xiao Yunhai was not a fool. Naturally, he did not want to get involved.
Coincidentally, Zhao Wanqing had just finished filming all the scenes in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.
Therefore, the two of them went to Zhao Mingsheng's house together.
Yan Piaoyun was naturally very happy to see her future son-in-law. She personally went to the kitchen to cook a lot of dishes.
At the dining table, Xiao Yunhai drank two glasses with Zhao Mingsheng and said, "Uncle, I've thought about it. I don't plan to join in the fun with iPartment."
Before Zhao Mingsheng could speak, Zhao Wanqing snorted and laughed out loud. She said, "Oh, I didn't expect the famous Yun Huang to be afraid."
Xiao Yunhai said indifferently, "This is called a wise man submits to circumstances. The combined ratings of the three TV series are more than 20%. I'd be a fool if I were to join in. Even Empresses in the Palace would find it difficult to get good ratings under such circumstances, let alone my iPartment. "
Zhao Wanqing rolled her eyes and said, "You're afraid. What's wrong with admitting it?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "If you say so, then fine. I'll go to Jibei TV Station tomorrow and see how my iPartment is going to win."
Zhao Wanqing said, "What if it's beaten to a pulp by others?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "It doesn't matter. I don't care about money anyway."
Zhao Wanqing heard that and said, "Then forget it. For the sake of adding a few more zeros to my card, you'd better do as you wish. "
Looking at the young couple arguing non-stop, Zhao Mingsheng and Yan Piaoyun looked at each other and smiled. They were very happy that the two had such a good relationship.
Zhao Mingsheng said, "Yunhai, what are you going to do? Do you really want to broadcast it directly on a video website? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's right. This show was too short. There were only twenty episodes. If it was put on the TV station, it would finish airing in ten days. It would not make much money at all. However, it's a different story if you put it on a video website. I estimate that the number of downloads alone will exceed 100 million. Uncle, can you help me make an appointment with Youshi? I need to have a good talk with them. "
Zhao Mingsheng said, "Sure, no problem."
That night, the father and son-in-law drank a lot of wine. Xiao Yunhai did not go back.
After dinner, he chatted with Zhao Wanqing and his wife for the whole night. In the end, he slept in Zhao Wanqing's room.
Anyway, the two of them were already living together. There was no need to be embarrassed.
At ten o 'clock the next morning, Xiao Yunhai and Su Yingxue came to a coffee shop and met Liu Decai, the person in charge of Youshi.
He was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was well-dressed and had a pair of glasses on the high bridge of his nose. He gave people a gentle feeling.
Liu Decai had obviously been waiting for a long time. When Xiao Yunhai and Yan Piaoyun arrived, he had already drunk more than half a cup of coffee.
Xiao Yunhai shook hands with him and said, "Director Liu, I'm really sorry. We were stuck in a traffic jam for half an hour. Sorry to have kept you waiting. "
Liu Decai pointed to the watch on his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao is not late. It's exactly ten o 'clock now. I came early."
Xiao Yunhai said, "It's good that Director Liu doesn't mind."
After the two of them were polite, Liu Decai said, "I heard that Mr. Xiao wants to broadcast iPartment directly on Youshi without the TV station. Can you tell me the reason? To be honest, I'm really curious. "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "The reason is very simple. First of all, you've seen that three excellent TV series are in full swing recently. I heard that Central TV is also going to launch a blockbuster to join in. Hehe, although I, Xiao Yunhai, am full of confidence in this show, I'm not a fool. I don't want to get involved in this mess. "
"Second, this TV series only has twenty episodes. It's a little short, so between the TV station and online video, online video is undoubtedly more advantageous."
Liu Decai said, "I see. Then Mr. Xiao should know the price of online video, right? "
Xiao Yunhai was no stranger to this.
According to the standards of the online market industry, a show that had been broadcast on the TV station would cost one yuan to watch each episode online and two yuan to download.
For example, last time, the number of downloads of Empresses in the Palace was more than 350 million. The price was 700 million. After splitting it with the website, Xiao Yunhai earned a profit of 350 million.
Xiao Yunhai's iPartment was not broadcast on the TV station, so the online and download prices could be doubled.
In other words, each episode of the TV series cost two yuan to watch online and four yuan to download. If more people watched it, Xiao Yunhai would definitely make a lot of money.
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Our main problem is how your website is going to distribute the profits. I definitely can't accept the previous 5: 5 ratio. "
Liu Decai said, "We at Youshi take your iPartment very seriously and are very sincere. Last night, after our CEO got the news from Mr. Zhao Mingsheng, we had a meeting at seven o 'clock this morning to discuss this issue and form a plan. If you think this plan is not suitable, we can discuss it again. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Please go ahead."
Liu Decai said, "We want to sign a VAM contract with you that Mr. Xiao likes very much."
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "It seems that you guys know me very well."
Liu Decai said, "Of course. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be victorious. The content of this VAM contract is to distribute the profits according to the number of downloads of iPartment. With 100 million as the base, every increase of 50 million will increase your profits by 10% until the end. "
"In other words, if the number of downloads is 100 million, then these 100 million downloads will be distributed according to the ratio of 5: 5. "Between 100 million and 150 million downloads, these 50 million downloads will be distributed according to the ratio of 6: 4. "And so on, until after 300 million, all the profits will be yours, and our website will not take a single cent. What do you think of this distribution plan? "
Su Yingxue, who had been silent all this time, smiled and said, "At first, it sounds very good. However, since iPartment only had 20 episodes, it would require at least 15 million people to download the show in order to reach 300 million downloads. "To be honest, this is quite difficult."
Li Decai smiled and said, "It is indeed quite difficult for others, but for Mr. Xiao, who has tens of millions of fans, it might be very easy to achieve."
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, you don't have to flatter me. I am very clear about my position. "Let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about Empresses in the Palace. Its total number of downloads is 350 million. It sounds like a lot, but it has a total of 70 episodes, so it is only downloaded by 5 million people. "If we calculate based on this, my iPartment can only get a 5: 5 share."
Li Decai smiled and said, "You can't calculate it like that. Empresses in the Palace has been broadcast several times on television, and the audience's interest in it is very low. "But iPartment is different. Its influence is so great, and the fans have been looking forward to it for a long time. Its results will definitely far surpass Empresses in the Palace."
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "I agree with what you said. They must be eager to see what I have produced in the past 18 days. If it doesn't look good, I'll probably be scolded to death by them. "
Li Decai smiled and said, "Look at Mr. Xiao's confident look. How can it not look good?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Director Li, I can agree to your distribution plan. However, the base price has to be lowered from 100 million to 50 million. "
Li Decai shook his head and said, "50 million is too low."
Su Yingxue said, "It's already not low. That would require 2.5 million people to download it. Director Li, based on our Yunhai's fame and past achievements, iPartment's advertising fees alone will make you a lot of money. You can't be the only ones eating meat while we can't even get a mouthful of soup. "
Li Decai thought for a moment, then suddenly reached out to Xiao Yunhai and said with a smile, "I look forward to working with you."
Xiao Yunhai was stunned. He shook his hand and sighed, "It seems that our requirements are a little low."
Li Decai smiled and said, "To be honest, the website's bottom line for me is 50 million."
Half an hour later, Youshi's staff walked in with the contract.
Xiao Yunhai looked at it seriously. After confirming that there were no problems, he signed his name on it.
Li Decai asked, "I wonder when Mr. Xiao is going to go online?"
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "This afternoon, I'll post the TV series to your website. As for how to promote and operate it, you're all experts. You should have more experience than me. "
Li Decai said, "Then I hope you can make a trailer for promotion."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I made it a long time ago. I'll send it to you all together."
Li Decai said, "That's great. I wish our cooperation a success."
Xiao Yunhai held his hand and said with a smile, "I believe iPartment will succeed."
