It was already late at night, and it was raining heavily outside, but Jiang Minghui still braved the rain to get to the company.
He then called his sleeping secretary and ordered her to get to the company within half an hour.
At that moment, his mind was filled with thoughts of five billion.
Although Jiang Ran isn't a very good person, she's quite lucky and has a sharp eye, just like him.
The novels she mentioned earlier, "Thousand Silk Snow" and "The Phoenix Girl's Decree," were both huge hits.
One time could be a coincidence, but surely a second time can't be a coincidence too?
This shows that Jiang Ran has a good eye for film and television dramas; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to predict two hit dramas in a row.
This is likely due to his excellent genes.
The time before last, she was just as confident as she is today, saying that "Thousands of Snowflakes" would definitely be a hit. It's just a pity that he didn't listen at the time, and a new company, Xiaozhu Video, picked up the opportunity.
Her tone on the phone just now was so firm, it seems that "Legend of the Wolf Warrior" really has the potential to be a huge hit!
But who is she talking to on the phone?
Thinking of this, Jiang Minghui frowned deeply.
She just told the person on the other end of the phone to buy "Legend of the Wolf Warrior" immediately; obviously, the person on the other end was a competitor!
I don't know which streaming platform it is, but whichever platform it is, it's Jiang's competitor!
That damned brat! She's his daughter, yet she's siding with outsiders and colluding with the platform outside.
He asked her to help out at the company, and she actually demanded 20% of the shares. Now she's helping an outsider for nothing. What an ingrate!
Thinking of this, Jiang Minghui immediately asked his secretary to contact Jiaqing Film and Television.
I can't let this great opportunity to make money slip away this time!
Moreover, this isn't just about making money. All of Jiang's recent dramas have been poorly received, and the industry is not optimistic about Jiang's future prospects. If this continues, some production companies may be unwilling to sell their dramas to Jiang.
If the Jiang family could produce a hit drama at this time, all the problems would be solved.
"Hurry up, other platforms might be vying for it!" Jiang Minghui added, still worried.
I don't know which platform Jiang Ran was contacting on the phone just now, but that platform will definitely emerge to compete with her.
However, it's already late at night, and other platforms certainly wouldn't have guessed that he would make his move in the middle of the night. By the time they realized it during the day, the Jiang family had already succeeded in getting the show.
However, his secretary soon told him some bad news.
"President Jiang, Jiaqing Film and Television said that another platform is also interested in purchasing 'Legend of the Wolf Warrior'."
Which platform is it?
"I don't know either. Jiaqing Film and Television just said that whichever platform offers the highest price will get the contract."
Jiang Minghui's expression turned serious: "How much did the other platform offer?"
"One billion."
Upon hearing the price, Jiang Minghui's already furrowed brows deepened.
One billion is already considered a top-tier price for a TV series.
Jiaqing Film and Television originally offered 800 million yuan, but it's all Jiang Ran's fault for betraying her and leaking the information to other platforms. Otherwise, the drama would have been his long ago.
What an ingrate!
If I hadn't given her life, would she have been born?
Now that he's grown up, he doesn't know how to properly repay his kindness and even colludes with the Jiang family's competing platform. It's truly hateful!
Seeing that he looked rather grim, the secretary advised, "Mr. Jiang, why don't we just forget about it? Buying a TV series for 1 billion yuan is too risky."
Haven't we learned our lesson from the loss with "The First Shot"?
"The First Shot" was also touted as a big-budget production with a budget of 1 billion yuan, but what was the result?
After it aired, it not only became a laughing stock in the industry, but also offended a whole bunch of advertisers.
Those in the industry have never been able to accurately predict audience preferences, and almost all platforms are now reluctant to spend high prices on big-budget productions unless the quality is truly exceptional; otherwise, the risk is simply too great.
One billion! And that doesn't even include advertising costs and such.
If we lose money, it won't be just a small amount!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Minghui gave him a disdainful look: "What do you know? How can you be my secretary if you're so timid?"
It's only a billion, he can still afford it.
He's making so much money from the projects he's invested in with Xu's now, so by this time next year he'll have plenty of funds.
Moreover, judging from Jiang Ran's words, "Legend of the Wolf Warrior" has even greater potential to be a hit than "Thousand Silk Snow," and it's expected to earn at least 5 billion!
Currently, the entire XinXing Video platform is in a slump, and the performance of all the new dramas broadcast is not ideal. It desperately needs a hit drama to boost morale!
Without a doubt, "Legend of the Wolf" is the best choice.
Although the price was a bit high, it could both restore the Jiang family's reputation and boost morale, so a billion yuan was worth it.
Moreover, this drama will definitely be more popular than "Thousands of Snowflakes"!
Jiang Minghui pursed his lips, then waved his hand grandly and ordered, "Then we'll bid against another platform. I'm determined to win 'Legend of the Wolf Warrior'."
Last time, he was a step too late with "The Phoenix Girl" being snatched up by Xiaozhu Video. This time, he will definitely not let such a plot happen again.
The secretary's eyes widened in surprise, and she wanted to say something, but after looking at his expression, she decided to say nothing.
While his secretary made contacts nearby, Jiang Minghui stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the city, feeling as if he was about to reach the pinnacle.
Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.
The Xu family's project is a sure thing, and he will soon be able to acquire "Legend of the Wolf Warrior" to change the Jiang family's current situation. By this time next year, his name will definitely be very well-known in this city.
Thinking this way, he could almost see himself standing on a high place, admired by others.
I really look forward to that day!
"Mr. Jiang, they've raised the price again."
The secretary's voice brought Jiang Minghui back to reality, and his face immediately darkened upon hearing those words.
Which damn platform is this?! Why are we still arguing with them?
It's all Jiang Ran's fault for insisting on revealing to outsiders that this drama could earn at least 5 billion, causing other platforms to relentlessly pursue it as well.
However, the fact that other platforms are so persistent in their pursuit also illustrates another issue.
That means the TV series "Legend of the Wolf Warrior" is definitely worth buying!
Jiang Minghui slammed his hand on the table and immediately decided, "Continue bidding! The Jiang family must secure this drama."
The secretary didn't understand why Jiang Minghui insisted on getting the role in the drama, but he understood something else.
That is—
"President Jiang, the company can't allocate any more funds to purchase this drama."
Jiang Minghui was still determined to win this role!
He thought for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed someone's number.
