"Manager Li, I'll have to trouble you.”Yang Zhu smiled and shook hands with a man in his forties.
"No, no, it's our honor to have Miss Liu and Miss Wan come here to experience life.”
This person was called Li Jun. He was the production manager of Suhuazhai and the direct supervisor of the high-end handmade Hanfu production team. Even though he was dressed in a friendly manner, if it wasn't for the fact that Yang Zhu had shares in the Suhua House and Liu Feifei was one of the representatives of the Suhua House, the three of them wouldn't have even thought of entering this place.
The reason why Yang Zhu sent Bunny and Liu Feifei here and gave them a one-month experience mission was because there was a lot of work that needed to be done manually in high-end Han clothing, such as embroidery.
Of course, Official Yang did not expect the two of them to be able to master the embroidery technique in just a month. It was different from the "cross-stitch". The patterns on the Han clothing of Suhua Zhai mainly used the "Su embroidery technique".
Just the most common needle-snatching, needle-deficiency, and needle-disorder techniques required at least a year's effort to become a skilled worker.
However, there were two advantages to practicing embroidery.
The first was to train one's eyes. Because one needed to stare at a tiny pattern needle eye for a long time, it could train the focus of the pupil. With a little change, it could achieve the effect of "sharpness".
Embroidery required concentration and calmness. People with long-term embroidery experience would always have a soft and gentle aura. This was similar to the tea artist, but there was an obvious difference in temperament.
Secondly, it could effectively train the actors 'fingers. After all, it was needlework that required ten fingers to exert strength.
However, for most actors, especially actresses, the lack of " strength " in their limbs was a common problem. In movies and television works, the audience would always see actresses stretching out their palms and hitting each other softly.
Of course, there were many reasons for this, but no matter what, the ten nimble and powerful fingers could surprise the audience at any time.
Yang Zhu still couldn't forget the Peacock Queen's " talking hands " in a certain version of " Condor Shooting ".”
………………
Just as he entered the elevator, Official Yang, who was about to slip away, suddenly received a call from Sima Suhua.
To be honest, Yang Zhu didn't really want to see this woman. It seemed like every time he saw her, nothing good would happen.
However, they were in someone else's territory and had just used him. It was not appropriate for them to turn around and leave.
Therefore, the helpless Yang Zhu could only press "18". For some reason, these rich people liked this number.
……
She was led into Sima Suhua's office by the administrative staff, but she wasn't the only one inside.
"Mr. Yang is here." Sima Suhua stood up very politely and introduced a man and a woman,"
"This is the operations director of Tianhua Entertainment, President Zheng.”A slightly plump man in his fifties stood up and extended his right hand very kindly.
Yang Zhu humbly extended his right hand and bowed slightly."I've heard so much about you! I've heard so much about you!"
"This is the supervisor of Tianhua Entertainment, President Yang.”A woman in her forties stood up. She squeezed out a smile on her old-fashioned face and extended her right hand.
Yang Zhu still had the simple and honest appearance of a young boy. His right hand made contact with it and retreated."I've heard so much about you! I've heard so much about you!"
"What a coincidence. I was discussing some collaboration projects with President Zheng and President Yang today when you, a busy man, appeared.”
"Hurry up. As a special consultant, help me give some advice.”
Yang Zhu respectfully picked up the teacup with both hands and took a sip.
He thought, I knew something was wrong.
He was a little shy and asked with a silly smile what was going on.
After Sima Suhua's explanation, she found out that more than half a month ago, people from Tianhua Entertainment came to her door with a proposal, saying that they wanted to start a large-scale reality show called "
The program planned to invite a group of film and television stars to perform on stage in a cross-border competition. It would also use the plot to integrate film and stage play elements into the singing segment.
He found Sima Suhua because he wanted her to be the main sponsor of the show, or at least get a special sponsorship.
On the other hand, there was an ancient style theme and a Republic of China theme in the planning, and they wanted Suhua Zhai to sponsor the set props and costumes.
When Yang Zhu heard this, he thought, Isn't this the world's 'Cross-Border Masked King'?
To be honest, this was a variety show with phenomenal potential, but unfortunately…
"If I may be so bold as to ask President Zheng, when is this program scheduled to air? Which channel is it scheduled to air on?" Yang Zhu asked. How much is the title sponsorship fee?"
President Zheng looked at Yang Zhu in surprise, then looked at Sima Suhua. After seeing her nod slightly, he opened his mouth and said,
"The show has already aired three episodes of Cass; After saving up six episodes, it could be broadcasted. The initial schedule was to broadcast on August 1st.”
"Currently, we have already reached an agreement with the Capital TV Station. If nothing goes wrong, it will be broadcasted on the Capital TV Station.”
"As for the title sponsorship fee…30 million!”
Yang Zhu finally understood why Sima Suhua had called him up. In this era, other than a few phenomenal variety shows, there were not many that had a title sponsorship fee of more than 20 million.
Even for those phenomenal variety shows, the title sponsorship fee for the first season was usually around 20 million. It was only after they became popular that the title sponsorship fee for the second season rose steadily until it exceeded 100 million.
However, that was a phenomenal variety show, and it was only broadcasted on Central TV or Mango TV, which had a huge viewership base. That was why it required such a high title sponsorship fee.
A program that had yet to be tested by the market and was broadcast on a second-tier platform like the Imperial Capital TV Station, yet you dared to ask for 30 million. No wonder Sima Suhua had not agreed to it for so long. This was not how a rich man should be.
Although Yang Zhu was 70% confident, he still asked worriedly,""Which celebrities have been invited to this program? Excluding the appearance fees of the celebrities, how much was the production fee for each episode?”
President Zheng's spirits were lifted. He felt that he had met a "confidant"." We've already invited eight celebrities. Liu Tao, Qin Hailu…"
"In order to ensure the program's effectiveness, we spent a lot of money to invite three music production teams and live orchestras. We even persuaded Lao Zai to be our music director.”
"In order to give the audience the best visual effect, we have prepared three dance troupes. Every performance would be planned by a professional.”
"In total, excluding the celebrity appearance fees, the investment for each episode is as high as 1.6 million!”
Ha…Yang Zhu nodded. This cost was considered the top in the country. One had to know that the majority of the production costs of variety shows in the country were the appearance fees of the celebrities. The actual cost of the live show was pitifully small. Usually, they just needed to build a shed and invite some audience members.
Don't think that 500,000 yuan per show is a small amount. You have to know that if you don't take the kickback in the middle, the final effect of 500,000 yuan may be more than 1 million yuan.
After all, everyone was in the industry. There was no such thing as a water price.
And now, for the program " Your Voice to the Stars," the on-site production cost for each episode was as high as 1.6 million. It could be seen that the production team placed great importance on the live effect.
Seeing Yang Zhu lowering his head in thought, President Zheng thought that Yang Zhu did not believe him and gave the woman beside him a look.
President Yang took out a thick stack of expense forms from his bag and printed them with a crack print."Chairman Sima, Mr. Yang, this is the breakdown of the production costs for our first episode. Other than the appearance fees of the celebrities, which need to be kept confidential, the rest are all inside.”
Yang Zhu took it up and flipped through it. He thought to himself, No wonder they asked this stoic woman to come and discuss the cooperation. After all this trouble, they wanted to borrow the position of " supervisor " to reassure others that their fees were not fake.
In a large company, the position of supervisor was special. It could be regarded as the internal supervision office of the company. Because the person in the position of " supervisor " was usually a shareholder, and the person in this position could never become a CEO or other senior executives, the possibility of " supervisor " fraud, especially financial fraud, was pitifully low.
Yang Zhu casually flipped through the stack of expense forms, then gave Sima Suhua a look.
President Zheng and President Yang had the foresight to excuse themselves to go to the toilet and walked out.
After they left, Sima Suhua asked,""Mr. Yang, how is it?"
Yang Zhu leaned back against the chair." If you can sign an additional agreement, congratulations, Chairman. You've picked up a treasure!"”
Sima Suhua looked at Yang Zhu in surprise,"Are you sure?"
Yang Zhu nodded." I'm half an actor in the entertainment industry now, and I can barely be considered a director. I can still estimate what kind of effect this show will have in the end."”
Sima Suhua nodded. She had seen the performance of this young man in front of her in the past half a year. Putting aside the huge profits brought by the exclusive BGM of Suhua Zhai, she was very happy.
In other projects, there was almost no " failure " in the hands of this young man. Therefore, she was quite convinced by Yang Zhu's judgment.
"But isn't the title sponsorship fee of 30 million a little too high? Why don't we lower it a little more?"”
Yang Zhu drank the tea in his cup in one gulp and snorted."Su Hua Zhai is short of this 30 million?"
"Think about it. The first episode is the most difficult time for others to start. Whether you lower the price or not will bring about two completely different consequences.”
"You lowered the price. Even if you lowered it by 1 million, to them, you're just a simple partner. When the first season became popular and the second season's title sponsorship was called for, you would have to compete with other companies. You wouldn't be able to get the title sponsorship even if you lost a cent.”
"Now that you've generously agreed to the 30 million, they'll be very grateful to you, and you'll have a lot more friends. When they become popular, you will definitely be the first one to be the title sponsor for the second season. As long as it's not too outrageous, you will definitely get the title sponsorship at a much lower price than the bidding price.”
"Chairman, you should consider it yourself.”
Sima Suhua nodded, feeling that she had found the right person today. However, she was still a little surprised by Yang Zhu's confidence in the show's popularity."Are you so sure that this show will be popular?”
Yang Zhu couldn't possibly tell her that in the other world, the first and second seasons of this show were extremely popular.
"Haven't you noticed?" she asked casually. The world had gradually entered an era where content was king. As long as the content was good and they had money to promote it, they would not be afraid of people not acknowledging it.”
Sima Suhua chewed on the words "content is king" and felt that the more she tasted it, the more interesting it became.
Yang Zhu saw that she was going to dig deeper and quickly stopped her."But this kind of program has a huge risk. We have to talk to them in advance and sign a contract.”
When Sima Suhua heard this, she didn't bother to ask anything else and quickly asked,""What risk?"
Yang Zhu poured himself a cup of tea.”
"You have to know that the entertainment companies behind these celebrities are backed by countless capital giants.”
"It's fine before the show becomes popular. Once it becomes popular, the capital behind these celebrities will interfere.”
"I'm afraid that the production team won't be able to withstand the temptation and pressure at the same time, and we won't be able to guarantee the fairness of the show.”
"At that time, this basket of golden eggs will really be useless!”
Sima Suhua didn't know much about the entertainment industry, but she knew that when a program's reputation was affected by shady deals, it would greatly reduce the influence of the sponsor's brand.
"Since you didn't ask me to reject you at the beginning, you must have some solution, right?"”
Yang Zhu thought to himself, Oh my, this comrade is actually starting to figure out my tricks. This is amazing.
"Of course there is a solution, but it depends on whether you're willing to do it."”
"What method?" Sima Suhua asked curiously.”
Yang Zhu didn't treat her as an outsider." I'll buy a hen to lay eggs and eat it!"”
Sima Suhua frowned,"You mean you want me to invest in the protection plate?" I'm afraid my ability is limited and I can't protect him.”
The so-called " protection " meant that by investing in the project, they would tell other competitors that this was their project and not to take any action.
However, if they wanted to protect the market, they had to first target their peers. Suhua Zhai was a physical business, and it was not the same as the capital behind those celebrities.
Secondly, his strength must not be too much lower than the other party. Otherwise, who would care about him? Capital was famous for being greedy.
"Why don't you just ally with Dahua Investment or some other investor that you trust?" Yang Zhu said lightly. He didn't need to invest too much, he just needed to make a statement.”
Sima Suhua hesitated,"Is it worth it?"”
Yang Zhu scratched his chin." This show will be popular in four or five episodes at most. Looking ahead…it will be popular for at least four or five seasons."”
"There are at least 100 million people with comprehensive radiation. I think it's worth it!”
Sima Suhua took in a breath of cold air. Are you that optimistic about this show?"
Sima Suhua couldn't remain calm. If they could really have over 100 million points, they didn't need much. As long as they continued to output for more than 3 years, no one could shake Suhua Zhai's position as the leader!
After thinking for a while, Sima Suhua nodded heavily,""Alright, I'll call President Zheng and the others back to test their words first.”
Yang Zhu stood up." Alright, you guys can discuss it slowly. I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."”
Sima Suhua quickly stopped him." How can I talk about it when you're not around? I don't know anything about the show."”
Yang Zhu was speechless." You decide on the title sponsorship for the first season first. Then, you can try and see if they are willing to invest. There's no need to talk about the specific content of the show. However, there are two points that you'd better grasp.”
"Which two points?"
Yang Zhu shrugged." Don't have too many shares. Don't get involved in other people's content production."”
With that, he opened the door and walked away unsteadily…
