After sending off Zhao Wanqing and the others, Xiao Yunhai went back to the car and asked Li Bing to pick up his uncle, Chen Zhan, at the domestic flight exit.
The flight was supposed to depart at ten, but Xiao Yunhai didn't see Li Bing leading Chen Zhan and two other TV station staff over until 10: 30.
Xiao Yunhai put on his sunglasses and welcomed the three into the car.
"Uncle, can't you have a sense of time? You're half an hour late. If this was on the battlefield, you could be shot a hundred times. "
Chen Zhan rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Don't make such a big deal out of me. You should say that to the airline. Let me introduce you. This is Deputy Director Ma Zhangming, and this is Director Shi Wenfeng of the Advertising Department. They have the final say on how much your 'Yongzheng Dynasty' will sell for. "
Xiao Yunhai turned his head and extended his hand to shake the two of them, saying: "Chief Ma, Director Shi, nice to meet you."
Ma Zhangming smiled. "Mr. Xiao, the 'Legend of the Condor Heroes' that you invested in last time did very well in our TV station. I hope that we can continue to work together this time."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Director Ma, I have as much confidence in 'Yongzheng Dynasty' as I do in 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'. I think that if the average viewership is 10%, it shouldn't be a problem. "
Shi Wenfeng's eyes lit up. "Mr. Xiao, I heard from Director Chen that you want the same advertising share as' The Legend of the Condor Heroes'. Is that right? "
"That's right."
"To be honest, the asking price is a bit high. 'Yongzheng Dynasty' and 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' can't be compared. Before 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' aired, it already had tens of millions of fans. Everyone knows that its viewership will not be low. But 'Yongzheng Dynasty' can't do that. It doesn't have any fans, and no one knows how high its viewership will be. If Mr. Xiao is confident, we can sign a contract. As long as our TV station's average viewership is more than 5%, then 90% of the advertising share will be no problem. Director Chen, Director Ma, what do you think? "
Chen Zhan waved his hand and said, "This kid is my nephew, so I won't interfere. You two have the final say in this matter. "
Ma Zhangming said, "I think it's fine."
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "No. 'Yongzheng Dynasty' will be broadcast on two different television stations. What if your Anhui TV Station can't beat them and the viewership ratings go to the other television station? What will you do then? "
When Chen Zhan heard this, he said angrily, "What do you mean, punk? Are you looking down on our Anhui TV Station? "
Xiao Yunhai quickly said, "Uncle, I'm just saying one of the possibilities. I don't mean to look down on anyone. How about this, if the average viewership ratings of the two TV stations exceed 10%, you will give me 90% of the advertising revenue. Then, for every 1% decrease in the viewership ratings, the advertising share would be reduced by 10%. If you can't even reach 5% in the end, then I'll just give it to you for free. I won't take a single cent. What do you think? "
Chen Zhan frowned and said, "Yunhai, you have to think carefully, kid. 5% of the viewership ratings is not something that can be easily achieved. If you fail miserably, then you will lose everything. "
Xiao Yunhai said confidently, "I never make a bet that I'm not sure of. Don't worry, Uncle, your nephew is not a sore loser. Director Ma, Director Shi, what do you think of my proposal? "
Ma Zhangming nodded to Shi Wenfeng.
Shi Wenfeng said, "Mr. Xiao, we agree with your proposal in principle. But, can you tell us which TV station is the other one? "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Actually, I only looked for Director Zhang of Yunan TV Station last night."
Chen Zhan asked, "When will he be here?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Didn't you ask me to arrange for him to be in the afternoon?"
Chen Zhan said, "How would I know that you only invited one TV station? Alright, let's go watch the TV series first. When Director Zhang arrives in the afternoon, we can sit together and discuss it. I think he will definitely agree to such conditions. By the way, I heard from your mother two days ago that you are going to Los Angeles, right? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's right. I just sent them on the plane an hour ago. "
Chen Zhan said, "It's good to go there. At least there won't be so many reporters harassing you. Is your mother going too? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Not only her, but also my mother-in-law and Ling 'er. But my mother and Ling 'er will be back soon. My mother-in-law will stay there to take care of Wan Qing. After the baby is born, we will go back to China. "
Chen Zhan said, "Don't forget to give me a call when the time comes."
Xiao Yunhai giggled: "That will depend on how big of a red packet you, the granduncle, prepare."
Chen Zhan laughed and scolded, "Kid, you are a billionaire now. Even if I go bankrupt and give you everything I have, it probably won't enter your eyes. You still want a big red packet from a pauper like me. Aren't you embarrassed to ask? "
When everyone heard that, they couldn't help but laugh.
When they arrived at Hanhai Film Investment Company, Xiao Yunhai led everyone upstairs and walked into his father-in-law Zhao Mingsheng's office.
At that moment, he was chatting with Chen Qingqing. When he saw Chen Zhan, he quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Chen, long time no see."
Chen Zhan was Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing's uncle. When the couple got married, Zhao Mingsheng and Chen Zhan called each other brothers.
After all, they were all relatives. If they called each other Chief Chen or President Zhao, it would be too formal.
Chen Zhan shook hands with him and said with a smile, "We haven't seen each other since the couple got married."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then I'll be the host this afternoon. Let's find a place to have a drink. Uncle, let me introduce you. This is Director Chen Qingqing. "
Chen Zhan smiled and said, "There's no need for you to introduce me. Director Chen is famous in the industry. How can I not know him? "
After everyone was polite, Chen Qingqing said, "If everyone has nothing else to do, let's go watch 'Yongzheng Dynasty'. I hope it will catch everyone's attention."
Chen Zhan smiled and said, "Director Chen, you're too humble. In the past two years, the ratings of your works have never dropped below 10%. I believe that 'Yongzheng Dynasty' will not disappoint everyone. "
Chen Qingqing said, "I hope so."
Everyone, including Zhao Mingsheng, went to the screening room.
An hour later, a few people walked out, talking and laughing.
"Director Chen, although we only fast-forwarded a few episodes, we can see the whole picture. 'Yongzheng Dynasty' is well-made and majestic. The actors' acting skills are even better. It's indeed a rare good show," Ma Zhangming praised.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Chief Ma, do you mean we can sign the contract now?"
Ma Zhangming said, "I have no objections. What do you think, Chief Chen? "
Chen Zhan said, "I still say the same thing. You two can decide everything."
Ma Zhangming said, "Well, I think we should draft a contract according to Mr. Xiao's idea."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "We'll sign it when we come back in the afternoon. The most important thing for us now is to fill our stomachs. "
During lunch, everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
In the afternoon, Zhang Heng, the Chief of Yunan TV Station, also came to Hanhai.
After watching a few episodes of the TV series, he signed the contract according to Xiao Yunhai and Anhui TV Station.
