"Forgive me for being blunt, but this 'Creation 101' is really too risky. This is only an online video and can only be broadcast on our Penguin Video. The advertising sponsorship itself is at most about 200 million, but Director Ye, you invited Lin Yun 'er and a few of the top domestic singers to be judges. You even contacted all the famous management companies on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Producer Zhou, please tell Director Ye about the asking price of the judges, especially the South Korean actress, Rin Yun `er, as well as the demands of the various management companies. Let our Director Ye know the current risks and possible losses of this show.”
The highest person in charge of a variety show was naturally the chief producer. However, because there were sub-producers below him, they were usually called producers in the industry. In terms of position, they were defined as producers or program directors. The one speaking now was the producer, Sun Zhonghuai. He was an absolute high-level executive in the Penguin video variety industry and had produced many ace shows.
Strictly speaking, Producer Zhou was the direct subordinate of the chief producer, Ye Mingxuan. He was definitely one of their own. However, this " Creation 101 ", which was still in the preliminary auditions and final preparations, was different from the previous ones on Penguin. This time, the chief producer, including this show, had been brought down from the sky. It was not part of the initial plan.
Some people knew about Director Ye's background, while others were not very clear about it. However, it was certain that he had a background. He was only 23 years old, but he had already independently hosted and planned a website with an investment of more than 300 million yuan. How could he not have a background?
Unfortunately, Producer Zhou knew about Director Ye's background. In fact, Sun Zhonghuai also knew about this producer. However, this was a high-ranking official of Penguin Video. He wasn't even afraid of Penguin's great-grandson, Ma Xiaoling, let alone the future crown prince.
To be fair, Producer Zhou was not too impressed with Director Ye's plan. Although he was a top student from Southern California, he had never come into contact with domestic variety shows. Hollywood was different from China. However, this young master was the legendary unlucky child who could go home and inherit tens of billions of dollars if his business failed. He really did not dare to offend him.
"The other judges are also fine. The asking price is not too high. The most expensive pig is only 20 million yuan. Only the South Korean actress, Lin Yun `er, was asking for a very high price. She asked for 50 million, but she promised to cooperate fully. She would do her job as a judge during the show, and she would also accept three months of accommodation. She promised to fully assist in the birth of the strongest female group in the mainland.
The other major management companies have sent people to participate in the auditions, but they are not satisfied with our proposal. They don't have to pay any notice fees, as long as we provide clothing, accommodation, and training for the contestants. However, they're not willing to sell the final 11 people to Rocket Entertainment.”
When Ye Mingxuan heard this, he looked at Producer Zhou with disdain and said sarcastically,"Tell me, how much do those families want? We only need 11, and it's impossible for us to catch all the good seedlings they sent over. The others can use our show to gain a lot of popularity. They're just newcomers. Without a chance, they're nothing.”
Although Ye Mingxuan's words were very rude, Producer Zhou had to admit that it was true. To put it bluntly, Penguin would definitely not let those management companies take advantage of them. He would spend a lot of money to help them promote new people, so in the end, they would definitely sign the final 11 people. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for this girl group to really take shape. After all, there were too many financial companies behind them, and many of them were sworn enemies.
Producer Zhou thought for a moment and said," Five million is a price that most management companies can accept. However, the 11 of them added together would be 55 million. Our Penguin Video only has 30% of Rocket Entertainment's shares. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to lose this money, right?”
Ye Mingxuan swept his gaze across the behind-the-scenes big shots and the main management of this show. He suddenly slammed the table and said,"I know what you want to say. Rocket Entertainment will fork out the 55 million yuan. That's right, I own this entertainment company. I'm the one who owns the majority of the company. I'm also the one who wants to sign the contract. Do you have any more questions?”
This time, even the producer, Sun Zhonghuai, couldn't probe further. Other than this part of the expenditure, the program's expenses could indeed be reduced by a lot. After deducting the sponsorship fee, the loss should be controlled within 100 million. Don't even think about making money. It's not like it's a star variety show or an online variety show. Just treat it as a necessary expense for the young master to choose a harem group to have fun. Who asked that young master Wang to just buy an entire South Korean girl group with 200 million yuan last year?
Since no one objected, they would officially start signing the set and then officially record the first episode. Just the preparation for this show had already wasted nearly two months of Ye Mingxuan's time. He did not want to waste any more time.
However, Ye Mingxuan seemed to have thought of something and asked the marketing director, Zhao Qian, directly,"How much have you talked about advertising sponsorship? What types are they?"
