When Ye Yu mentioned the librarian, Naying and Zhao Wei knew who he was talking about. The eyes of the three of them lit up. They were secretly amazed by Ye Yu's bold words and aspirations. Ordinary people would not dare to say such domineering words.
"Hehe, Little Ye. It seems that you are quite ambitious. King of Masked Singers has been quite popular recently. How much money did you spend?”Although Zhao Wei was a crazy and silly character in the show, she was actually very smart and good at borrowing power.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have reached her current position. In the entertainment industry, especially those big shots and superstars, none of them were simple. Which one of them wasn't a legend forged from hundreds of battles? Otherwise, why would they stand at the top of the tower with hundreds of thousands of employees? There were actually less than five female stars at the top of the tower. Including the singing Diva, there were definitely less than ten people.
Ye Yu immediately told Zhao Wei and the others about King of Masked Singers 'investment and the cooperation agreement with Beijing Television. The investment in Ye Yu was calculated at 150 million yuan. If the value of those songs was really calculated, it would probably be more than that.
Ye Yu said it directly, not because he was honest, but because he was showing his arms and letting these people know his courage. The entertainment industry did not lack funds, but people with courage and ambition.
After hearing this, Na Ying sighed."Now I know why you're willing to pay such a huge price to let me and my friend Xue be the judges." The identities of those contestants were probably not ordinary. It seems like you intend to break through 3%. How much did you negotiate for the advertising contract?”
"We haven't discussed the contract yet. Not even an advertising contract." Ye Yu smiled. I plan to talk about it after the first episode is broadcast.”
When the three of them heard this, they all sucked in a breath of cold air. If Ye Yu continued to play like this, he would basically give up on the next episode. If the final contract was 500 million, he would have to give up about 40 million. If one wasn't absolutely confident in themselves, they wouldn't dare to play like this. The stakes were too big. He actually used 200 million yuan to make a variety show.
Zhao Wei was definitely the most interested in doing business among the three of them. She immediately asked curiously,"Little Ye." Then what is your profit model? And what do you plan to do with the advertisement?”
"First, the song copyrights. Most of the copyrights of these songs are in my hands. Just the copyright fees and simultaneous recordings alone make me more than 200 million. Next is advertising. I plan to divide it into five categories: naming rights, time slot advertising, soft advertising, product placement advertising, and word advertising. My target is 200 million for the title sponsorship, 30 million for a time slot advertisement, at least 30 million for a soft advertisement, 50 million for a product placement advertisement, and more than 10 million for a word advertisement. The minimum target was 500 million, and the expectation was 1 billion. The other thing is the online copyright of the show. I plan to give it an exclusive license, and the amount will be more than 100 million yuan.”Ye Yu told him his rough plan. The only thing he was hiding was that he planned to support Deputy Station Head Cao to take over.
Deputy Station Head Cao was really in power and had taken over. Then Ye Yu would really be rich. This was basically no different from him controlling a television station. He could boldly invest in all kinds of programs and television dramas. Moreover, they had signed a share sharing agreement. As long as the show was good enough, it was far more than the traditional direct purchase. Moreover, this operation would reduce the pressure on both sides.
Zhao Wei looked at Ye Yu differently after hearing that. Initially, he only thought that Ye Yu was a newcomer who had just entered the industry. Although he was a boss, his status was not as important as an A-list celebrity. There were really too many bosses in the entertainment industry. There were dozens of them in Beijing alone. This was still a little famous, but there were simply too many people who were not famous.
Zhao Wei would not think that way now. This kid was simply a business genius. He could even play such tricks on a variety show. As for whether Ye Yu's words would work, Zhao Wei felt that it would. The four judges hadn't even been decided yet. It was just a video of the contestants. King of Masked Singers had already broken 2. Once the four judges came out, it wouldn't be a problem for them to break through three. With Na Ying and Zhang Xueyou in charge of the singing program, as well as so many good songs and capable singers, only ghosts could predict the final viewership ratings. This was also the reason why Ye Yu planned to discuss it again in the second episode. After the first episode was released, if the viewership ratings were really scary, it was hard to say how much money they could earn.
"Is there anyone in Xiao Ye's company who has signed the contract?”Zhao Wei continued to ask.
Ye Yu heard this. He immediately understood that Zhao Wei was planning to cooperate with him. As long as King of Masked Singers was really popular enough, Zhao Wei would come to him to discuss some projects. For a big shot like her, she had long passed the time when she had to work hard to film. Managing her interpersonal relationships and using her strength to make a living was much higher than her income from filming a few movies. Ye Yu also hoped to have such a big shot to work with him, because what he lacked the most now was projects and guides.
"I've signed three female celebrities so far. Both of them are potential C-list stars and can be considered your juniors. Currently, I've asked them to take on the second and third female roles of Immortal Three. The other one is a freshman from Northern Film Academy. I think she has a lot of potential, so I signed her. If there were suitable projects, she could act as the third or fourth female lead to hone herself.”Ye Yu replied happily.
Zhao Wei nodded in satisfaction and said,""In that case, Immortal Three, you have an investment. Not bad, this drama had a lot of potential. It wouldn't be a problem for it to be in the top three in the annual viewership ratings. It seems that you value these two juniors very much. Otherwise, they wouldn't have paid such a huge price.”
Zhao Wei knew how Ye Yu had gotten the second and third female lead. The current entertainment industry was not the same as when she was filming the Return of the Pearl. There was less need to look for actors everywhere. Now, there were fewer projects and more actors. If a newcomer wanted an important role, they had to rely on the comprehensive strength of the company behind them in addition to their own abilities. Even if his company didn't start filming, he would have to invest money to find enough cards for him. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy for him to get promoted. This was one of the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.
"Send me a copy of your newcomer's information. I'll go show it to my friend. If there's a suitable role, I can let her train herself. After all, she's my junior sister.”Zhao Wei said straightforwardly.
When Ye Yu heard this, he was secretly satisfied.""Today's mahjong game is really worth it. Zhao Wei had a wide range of connections. As long as King of Masked Singers really achieved my expectations, she would be able to walk the path of success. She wouldn't be lacking in projects like movies and TV series, as well as supporting roles. The Empress of Heaven Palace could be considered to have a firm foothold.”
