Chapter 152 Money Tree
Xie Ran's eyes were slightly red. After his accident many years ago, his good brother stabbed him in the back at a critical moment. Although other people he was close to did not add insult to injury, they also drew clear boundaries with him.
Xu Youyou is still the first person to fight against Star Diamond with him.
Although Xu Youyou promised to help him get revenge when he agreed to work for Xu Youyou, he did not hold out much hope, and secretly thought about accumulating strength by relying on Xu Youyou's work.
The two major game platforms were bidding at the same time. Xu Youyou might be able to earn hundreds of millions more with this agency right, but she didn't want such a sum of money. At this moment, Xie Ran completely believed that Xu Youyou really wanted to help him get revenge. .
"People from Star Diamond always seek revenge. Who was the person who called you just now?" Xie Ran asked.
"It seems to be called Li..." Xu Youyou thought for a moment and said, "Li Huairen, it seems to be that name."
Xie Ran's expression changed.
Xu Youyou asked: "Do you know him?"
Xie Ran's lips curved into a stern arc: "We know each other, how could we not know each other."
Xu Youyou was a little curious: "Enemy?"
Xie Ran said: "There is a deep hatred."
Xu Youyou tilted her head and said, "Then you should know him very well. Can we take the initiative to set up a trap against him?"
Xie Ran shook his head: "It is better to be still than to move. There are too many opportunities and loopholes to take the initiative to create."
Xu Youyou didn't force it, and said: "Okay, since you said so, I won't care. Anyway, you know my family background. Just tell me when you need money."
Although Lu Jingyao on the side knew that this was trying to win people's hearts, he saw why it felt so wrong. He suppressed the jealousy in his heart, and then after reading their tenderness, he asked the negotiation team to negotiate with Xie Ran.
Lu Jingyao stayed in the living room drinking tea with Xu Youyou, pretending to be casual and asked: "You seem to be very dependent on Xie Ran?"
Xu Youyou didn't think much and said casually: "There is no way, I have few people, one person has to be used as several people."
Xu Youyou glanced at Lu Jingyao's negotiation team in the reception room next door.
Lu Jingyao said: "Talents can easily appear together. You can ask Xie Ran to form a team for you, and his vision will definitely be good."
Xu Youyou nodded and turned to talk about another thing.
"Are you going to remake the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions"?" Lu Jingyao opened his eyes slightly when he heard this, and then nodded gently as if he remembered something: "Yes, now that you have the entire draft, you can make a version of it. You think It looks good. If it succeeds, your company’s name will be known.”
Of course, if you fail, you will probably be scolded by netizens.
Xu Youyou thought that even if there were some shortcomings, as long as it was shot seriously, it would definitely be better than the outrageous versions of previous years.
She took out several more manuscripts of Mr. Zhang and said: "I am going to find a screenwriter who has a deep understanding of "Dream of Red Mansions" to write the script based on these research manuscripts."
"My mother has a friend who is doing red studies, his surname is Wang, and he is a professor at Hucheng University." Lu Jingyao said.
Xu Youyou frowned slightly. Shanghai University was her alma mater, and the professor named Wang was not a good memory for her.
"Wang Qianshu?"
Lu Jingyao asked: "Do you know him?"
Xu Youyou said directly: "I don't consider him." Lu Jingyao's heart suddenly sank when he saw her expression suddenly turned cold, as if she didn't want to talk anymore.
Xu Youyou said instead: "I'm going to audition actors."
Lu Jingyao said casually: "I have filmed several versions of Dream of Red Mansions and held auditions many times, but the characters selected are always unsatisfactory."
Xu Youyou said: "Don't worry, we will find suitable candidates slowly. I still have something to ask of you."
Lu Jingyao wondered: "How can I help?"
"Speaking of which, it was Xie Ran who suggested it." Xu Youyou explained: "Isn't co-branding very popular now? Your company's signature snacks can be co-branded with Dream of Red Mansions, and by the way, you can promote the audition through the wrapping paper. At the same time, your company is now the most popular You can do the same thing on popular mobile games.”
Lu Jingyao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "With such great efforts, you really want to make a good TV series, but in this way, the cost will be too high."
With such vigorous publicity, Lu Jingyao could tell that Xu Youyou was determined to choose the most suitable candidate.
Xu Youyou said: "This is "A Dream of Red Mansions" after all. Even if it is done at a loss, I am willing to do it."
After hearing this, Lu Jingyao couldn't help but agree that "Dream of Red Mansions" is the common cultural memory of the Chinese people. He was not surprised that Xu Youyou had such an idea. He took the initiative and said: "I also want to do something for "Dream of Red Mansions". The price of snacks is not easy." Change, I can get a 50% discount when co-branding in the game.”
Xu Youyou was startled and said: "Your investment is too big, and you will probably lose money even with the 50% discount."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Lu Jingyao said with a smile: "It's not a loss, as much as you make a profit, the 50% discount on game skins can be regarded as giving back to old customers. Besides, if your TV series becomes popular, I will still take advantage."
"Businessmen don't settle accounts this way. If the 50% discount is too great, it may dissatisfy the players who bought game skins before, and you will suffer a loss instead." Xu Youyou said in a low voice.
Lu Jingyao said: "If you think I might lose money, then it counts as my investment in the TV series and give me a point."
"One point is too few, at least ten points." Xu Youyou said.
Lu Jingyao smiled and said: "You won't make money for ten points? Just one point, I don't want more."
Xu Youyou felt that this bargaining look looked familiar. She seemed to have bargained with Lu Jingyao in this way in the past, but it was like this every time. They had never been like businessmen, and they were afraid that the other party would suffer a loss.
Negotiations with Xie Ran are also proceeding very quickly, and the preliminary price has already been announced. This domestic agency right was given to Xu Youyou, the company's major shareholder, by Peter abroad as the company's CEO, so now it is sold to Lu Jingyao, and he gets The money was also directly deposited into Xu Youyou's account.
Xie Ran chose to focus on sharing, with an agency right of 10 million per year, plus a ten-point revenue share, and the price was adjusted year by year.
Ten million doesn't seem like much, but this game is just in its infancy, and the price is already on the high side.
What's more important is that 10% of operating income is not profit sharing, but the revenue of the game.
Lu's agency would spend a lot of money to promote this game, and the initial investment cost would not be low, so Xu Youyou did not suffer.
People came and went in the house, but Xie Ran and Lu Jingyao both stayed behind.
Lu Jingyao wanted to stay and have dinner together, but Xie Ran had other things to report.
"So far, our short drama platform has distributed accounts worth over 100 million," Xie Ran said.
Xu Youyou looked stunned and divided the account over 100 million. This money was distributed to the short drama producers, and the platform would only make more.
Xie Ran knew what she was thinking and said: "The platform has a revenue of 1 billion and a profit of about 800 million."
Xu Youyou immediately shouted to the housekeeper, Sister Zhang: "Sister Zhang, open a bottle of champagne quickly!"
