"Director Wang, what have you been busy with lately?"
"I have an idea for a really great little variety show. I wonder if you're interested?"
"Don't be polite, we're all family! See you this afternoon."
Su Bai hung up the phone and started a game with satisfaction.
Today is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and all the companies have resumed work. However, for Su Bai, the TV series has just been completed, and it looks like it will be a huge hit, with the ratings increasing every day.
Penguin Video is even more impressive, with over 1 billion clicks in just over a week. It seems that this drama will be a win-win-win situation for all three parties.
For Su Bai, the production cost was 160 million yuan, and the TV station and Penguin Video spent almost 500 million yuan on the purchase, which means a net profit of 340 million yuan, minus Tianhua's 40% share and production costs.
"Joy of Life" earned 100 million yuan in the first round of copyright sales alone!
This does not include the fact that there will be a second round of copyright sales and Penguin's paid-per-click revenue sharing.
As for Su Bai, it’s just a temporary vacation now. The album was just released not long ago, so there is no rush for the second one.
In terms of film and television, Su Bai still needs to consider whether he should go directly into the film industry or continue to consolidate his reputation in the television industry.
Or you can just prepare for both situations. In fact, some movies are not suitable for Su Bai to act in, such as "Charlotte's Troubles", but it would be a pity not to make such a good commercial movie.
So Su Bai planned to organize a variety show to reward himself first, which was the outdoor travel reality show that he had mentioned to Brother Chao and the others before.
For Su Bai, doing variety shows is a really fun way to relax, as he can have fun with his good friends and make money at the same time.
Of course, variety shows with strict scripts where you have no initiative are torture.
At 2 p.m., in the conference room of Shanghai Tomato TV, Director Song Chengming, Penguin Entertainment Vice President Zhao Xiaonuo, Su Bai, Wang Zhengyu, and Yang Danchun sat together.
"These are my main ideas and plans, but I hope Director Wang will plan the details. After all, I also have to participate in the program recording. It would be boring if I knew the specific locations and game content."
Su Bai took out his main idea for the show, gave a copy to each of the big guys working on it, and then waited quietly for their opinions.
"I think this variety show is very feasible. I already have a lot of ideas in my head. I'll take this show!"
Wang Zhengyu looked at Su Bai with a wicked smile, which looked obscene and malicious.
Su Bai's heart skipped a beat. Was he digging a hole for himself?
I asked Wang Zhengyu to do it because we had a very pleasant cooperation before, and Wang Zhengyu always has some creative ideas, so the variety show produced in this way will definitely be very interesting.
But this thing is a bit of a scam, don't let yourself get caught in it...
"How much is the estimated investment for this variety show? How should we divide it among us?"
Penguin's Zhao Xiaonuo directly asked the core question.
"There are two options. The first option is that I will take 60% of the investment, and the advertising revenue of the two channels will also be divided according to this ratio."
"The second option is that I will invest the full amount, you will be responsible for the broadcast channels, and I will take 80% of the advertising revenue."
"What do the two bosses think?"
Su Bai asked with a smile.
Zhao Xiaonuo immediately waved his hand: "Xiaobai, isn't your investment amount a bit too high?"
"Isn't this because I'm worried that the two uncles will lose money? After all, this is a new variety show, and the actual effect is hard to say!"
"Alright, not to mention Brother Chao and the others, just with you, Su Bai, this show is going to be great, and with Director Wang in charge, your share is a bit too stingy!"
Zhao Xiaonuo didn't listen to Su Bai's nonsense at all. After so many times of cooperation with Su Bai, he had more confidence in Su Bai than Su Bai himself. This young man seemed to always be able to create hits.
"So what do you mean?"
"433, you get 4 and we each get 3. Of course, if Director Song is worried, we Penguins will take all of his share."
Tencent is Tencent after all, it is rich and powerful!
To be honest, if Zhao Xiaonuo didn't know that Su Bai was not easy to fool, he would have wanted to invest the full amount.
"Hey! No! We can definitely take over this share!"
Song Chengming is not stupid. He will not push something that can obviously bring him both fame and fortune to others.
Su Bai was not actually greedy. He was really afraid that the other two companies would not dare to invest, so he wanted to take the biggest risk himself.
"Okay, that's settled then. As for attracting investors, I suggest setting a high price. It doesn't matter if no one invests. Just like a TV show, after one episode airs, people will naturally come looking."
Su Bai agreed very readily. As for how much he could earn, he was not really that greedy. He just wanted to make money while having fun. What was more important was that he could gain popularity, which was more important than anything else.
Yang Danchun had no objection to Su Bai's decision. She was now very convinced of Su Bai. Although this guy seemed to be lazy all day long, he was really talented!
Even though he is so lazy that he doesn't take any job, Su Bai can make much more profit than other artists by just taking any job!
So just let him be, he is the boss anyway.
Things were settled happily, and Su Bai also began to contact Brother Chao, Lu Han, and Chen Chichi to reserve schedules. In addition, there was a role of a tour guide in the variety show, and Su Bai planned to give it to Chen Zhixin.
Brother Chao and the other two didn't get along very well with the other three on "Running Man", and because of the Su Bai incident last time, the three of them didn't renew their contracts this year.
So the schedule is not a big issue.
Chen Gou also has a very good sense for variety shows, and it is easy for him to have funny chemical reactions when working with Su Bai. Su Bai also wants to help Chen Gou become more popular.
