According to the agreement,"Drawing Swords" could only be uploaded to major video websites after it was broadcast on national television.
Seeing how popular "Drawing Swords" was, how could the three major video websites sit still? They immediately sent out elite teams to discuss the purchase of exclusive copyrights.
That's right, exclusive, not joint.
A TV series as popular as 'Drawing Swords' would attract millions or even tens of millions of members no matter which video website it was broadcast on.
Therefore, the profit of 'Drawing Swords' was secondary. These permanent paid members were the key to their fight.
Gao Wei, as the representative of the producers of "Drawing Swords," gathered the three video websites together.
After some discussion, they finally decided to use the method of casting a dark bid to make a choice.
This way, it would be fair and just, and the loser would have nothing to say.
The representatives of Ant, UKu, and Huaxun all expressed their agreement.
In the end, Ant Video website gave the producer 75% of the profits and obtained the exclusive rights to broadcast 'Drawing Swords.'
Upon hearing this number, the representatives from Cool U and Huawei Media shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
In fact, the starting bid of the Ant Video website was not a number, but a sentence.
It was 5% higher than the highest cut offered by Cool U and Huaxun.
U Cool offered 70% of the price, so the ant naturally offered 75%.
Soon, Su Cheng signed an exclusive online copyright broadcast agreement with Ant Video website.
The Ant Video website seemed to have suffered a huge loss from this deal, but in fact, it had made a lot of money.
When "Drawing Swords" was broadcasted on the national television station and uploaded to the Ant Video website, it immediately attracted 35 million paid members for the latter, making the higher-ups of Ant ecstatic.
Of course, this was a story for the future.
After settling the online broadcast agreement for "Drawing Swords," Su Cheng signed a one-year endorsement contract with a large domestic brand, Luo Xiang Sportswear. The endorsement fee was 25 million yuan, which directly rose to the level of Best Actress.
Even an eight-star celebrity, Liu Dehua, only received an annual endorsement fee of 30 to 40 million yuan.
Su
Cheng and Gao Wei from the mountain city of Xia Country arrived at the Arhat Temple on the set of "Crazy Stone."
"Aiyo, Mr. Smith, why didn't you tell me you were coming so that I could pick you up at the airport?”
Ning Hao, who was setting up the set, quickly came up and said.
Things were different now. The success of "Drawing Swords" had greatly improved Su Cheng's status in the entertainment industry. Even Ning Hao's attitude towards him had changed greatly.
"Director Ning, you can just call me by my name." I feel a little uncomfortable hearing you address me as Mr. Su.”
Ning Hao knew that Su Cheng was a straightforward person, so he said,""Alright, then I'll call you Su Cheng.”
"To be honest, I've been watching your performance in 'Unsheathed Sword' for the past few nights. It's simply amazing.”
"I'm not trying to flatter you, but 'Unsheathed Swords' is definitely the best war film I've ever seen. Even 'Lurker' is slightly inferior.”
"Also, I feel that your performance was more natural than Yu Zecheng's.”
"The director is indeed a director," Su Cheng said. That's right, I'm like a fish in water as Li Yun Long because his personality and temper are compatible with mine. Yu Zecheng is too forbearing, which is very different from me.”
"Alright." Ning Hao nodded and said,"The TV Series Starlight Awards will be held in three months." I boldly predict that your Li Yunlong will very likely let you win the first TV Emperor trophy.”
"Thank you for your good words." Su Cheng smiled.”
In this world, the status of the Starlight Awards was similar to the Oscars in the Lighthouse Country. It was held once a year.
The difference was that the Starlight Awards ceremony consisted of four parts, namely the TV Series Starlight Award, the Film Starlight Award, the Asian Film Starlight Award, and the International Film Starlight Award.
Among them, the TV Series and Film Starlight Awards were held once a year. There were no special circumstances. They were usually held at the end of July and the end of August. The film and television works were reviewed from last June to this year.
Most people referred to the Best Actor and Best Actress as the Starlight Awards.
As long as Su Cheng could become a film emperor, he would immediately become a seven-star actor.
The Asian Film Starlight Awards and the International Film Starlight Awards were held every two years.
If an artiste could win either the Best Actor or Best Director award, the Department of Culture would immediately raise their artiste's rating to eight stars. There was no need for any accumulation.
From this, one could see the importance of these two awards.
Zhang Chenfeng had [Lurk] and [Unsheathed Sword], so it shouldn't be a problem for him to take down a bottle of Vairocana.
......
"Crazy Stone" didn't require many scenes. Most of the scenes were shot in Arhat Temple, so the preparation work was completed very quickly.
Perhaps it was because they had discussed it beforehand, the actors and actresses in the production team would all join the set three days in advance.
Previously, when Su Cheng and Ning Hao were choosing actors, they thought that the most difficult one to deal with was the five-star actor Huang Bo.
He didn't expect that after this billion-dollar movie king from Earth read the script, he didn't even mention the pay and immediately agreed.
Guo Tao and Liu Hua, the two male leads, did not think too much about it either.
For the two of them, being able to act as the male lead of a movie was a rare opportunity.
Moreover, the script was so good.
After the actors arrived at the set, Su Cheng treated everyone to drinks every night.
After three consecutive matches, everyone was already extremely familiar with each other and addressed each other as brothers.
Among them, Su Cheng's way of addressing him was the most interesting.
He was the youngest among them and had to call everyone his brother.
However, because Su Cheng had the highest alcohol tolerance and was a generous person, coupled with the fact that he was the investor of Crazy Stone, everyone called him Brother Cheng.
This was a very interesting thing.
Su Cheng called Guo Tao, Liu Hua, and the others brothers, and they also called Su Cheng brothers.
Gradually, the title of Brother Cheng became popular in the crew of Crazy Stone.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The production team of "Crazy Stone" held a ceremony at the Arhat Temple.
Originally, Ning Hao and Gao Wei had planned to keep a low profile, but "Unsheathing Swords" was currently being broadcasted. Su Cheng, who played Li Yunlong, was the most popular actor at the moment, so it still attracted dozens of reporters.
One by one, questions bombarded Su Cheng like cannonballs, making him very annoyed.
