Chapter 377: Gambling Agreement (asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!)
"Gambling Agreement?"
Lin Fan scratched his ears, "Sister Xia, are you kidding? Polar Bear wants to sign a bet agreement with us?"
"No kidding!" Yang Hongxia took out the agreement and handed it to Lin Fan, "Take a look for yourself, it's all here."
Lin Fan took the gambling agreement written in black and white, and still felt that it was not real. After all, although he often heard related news on the Internet, this was the first time Lin Fan came into contact with this thing in reality.
Although Lin Fan was asked to read it himself, Yang Hongxia still took the initiative to explain the main terms to Lin Fan. Lin Fan summarized them and there are roughly the following points: First, the agreement stipulates that if the single-episode playback volume of "Longing for the Courtyard" exceeds 30 million within one week of its launch on the Polar Bear platform, Polar Bear will pay Lin Fan an exclusive copyright fee of 1.5 million per episode.
Second, if "Longing for the Yard" does not meet the required number of views within the time specified in the agreement, then Polar Bear will only pay Lin Fan 1 million yuan for the exclusive broadcast copyright fee for one episode, and no matter how many views it gets afterwards, it will only be 1 million yuan.
Third, for every 10 million views that exceed 30 million within the time limit specified in the agreement, Polar Bear will pay Lin Fan an additional 500,000 yuan, with no upper limit. The higher the number of views, the more money Lin Fan can get.
Fourth, each period is settled separately.
Fifth, within one week of the last episode being online, if the total number of views of the entire "Longing for the Yard" variety show exceeds 500 million, the Polar Bear platform will pay Lin Fan an additional reward of 5 million.
"What do you think of this agreement?" Lin Fan asked Yang Hongxia.
In this regard, Yang Hongxia said: "Polar Bear will not lose money in any way. With you on this show, and guests like Zhang Xinlan and Hui Qiaodan, the broadcast volume will not be bad. No matter how much money is spent on purchasing this variety show, Polar Bear will be able to earn back at least three times more than the advertising fee!"
Moreover, if the number of views is low, Polar Bear is even less worried. One million per episode, and the first season of "Longing for the Yard" only has ten episodes, which means that Polar Bear spent 10 million to buy a variety show with two first-line stars and one quasi-first-line star. It is simply profitable, okay? Just for the three names of Lin Fan, Zhang Xinlan and Hui Qiaodan, Polar Bear is willing to throw 10 million to play with them.
Besides, even if Lin Fan did not accept the gambling agreement, there was still another cooperation agreement to choose from, and in that agreement, Polar Bear also got the upper hand.
So, no matter how the game goes, polar bears will not suffer any loss.
Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh: This is evil capital! "So, how about signing this agreement?"
Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "Sign!"
Yang Hongxia also tends to sign: "Not to mention the fan appeal of Zhang Xinlan and Hui Qiaodan, even if the whole program only brings back 10 million, plus the title sponsorship fee, at least we haven't lost money."
This is the first time that Yang Hongxia has collaborated with Lin Fan on a project. From the very beginning, Yang Hongxia has been seeking stability. The purpose of filming the variety show is, first, to allow Lin Fan to get used to the new studio, second, to allow Lin Fan to turn things around and get back to business, and third, to make preliminary preparations for the launch of the "A Chinese Ghost Story" project.
Finally, think about making money.
Of course it would be best to make money, but if things really don't go as planned, Yang Hongxia thinks it is a success as long as she doesn't lose money. After all, for celebrities, even if the show doesn't make money, increased fame is also a reward.
"Also, although the Polar Bear agreement is called a bet agreement, the conditions it offers us are actually quite mild. It doesn't set a goal that is impossible to achieve right from the start."
If the Polar Bears asked for 100 million views, Yang Hongxia would ignore them even if they offered 10 million per episode.
But 30 million is just right. It is a goal that can be achieved with some effort. Overall, this can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill from the Polar Bear to Lin Fan.
Even if it was just a show of goodwill, Polar Bear had not forgotten to make money. However, for a capital like Polar Bear, if they could offer relatively mild terms of agreement, Yang Hongxia and Lin Fan would both recognize this favor. As long as there was no major friction in the subsequent cooperation process, Lin Fan would think of Polar Bear first when he had any projects in the future.
Just like when Yang Hongxia invested in Lin Fan, although this kind of investment has a certain purpose, it will not be offensive. On the contrary, it is precisely because Polar Bear is optimistic about Lin Fan that it makes such an investment, which is also a recognition and support for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan did not find this behavior offensive, but rather accepted it well. Cooperation should be based on mutual benefit. Otherwise, if only one party benefits while the other suffers, it will not last long.
but.
"The bet agreement can be signed, but the clause needs to be modified."
Yang Hongxia was puzzled: "What do you think?"
Lin Fan smiled: "The terms offered by Polar Bear are too stingy. What's 30 million views? If we want to sign, we have to sign for 50 million as a starting point! In this way, according to Polar Bear's limited conditions, if the single-episode playback volume exceeds 50 million within one week of going online, the single-episode copyright fee will be 2.5 million. For the part exceeding the limit, for every additional 10 million views, Polar Bear will pay us an additional 1 million.
I don’t want an unlimited price, just 100 million views as the upper limit, and the highest price per episode is 7.5 million. Each episode is settled separately.
If the number of views does not meet the requirement within the time limit, then Polar Bear will follow his terms, 1 million for each episode. However, if the average number of views for each episode exceeds 100 million, that is, if the total number of views for the last episode exceeds 1 billion within one week of its release, Polar Bear will pay an additional 10 million. If it exceeds 2 billion, Polar Bear will pay an additional 30 million.
With this condition, Sister Xia, please ask Polar Bear if he wants to sign with me."
If you don’t sign, find another club!
joke!
How could the ratings of "Longing for the Yard" be bad? This type of variety show is the first to appear on Blue Star, but it is actually a product that has been tested by the market, and the population of Blue Star is much larger than that of Earth! For this reason, Lin Fan would not think that this show would not even reach 30 million views.
50 million views is considered too little!
Even a live broadcast of yourself sleeping can get tens of millions of hits, not to mention that this is a serious variety show. Isn’t it more interesting than live streaming yourself sleeping?
Don't forget, there are guests! 30 million views, who are you looking down on! Where does this put the guests' fan base? Miss Huixing, please check it out? Miss Tianxin, please check it out? Yang Hongxia was frightened by the conditions thrown out by Lin Fan, and was stunned for a rare moment: "Are you sure?"
If we follow Lin Fan's terms, and if "Longing for the Courtyard" can really achieve the highest performance promised by Lin Fan, then it will be a huge contract of up to 115 million!
Not only that, Lin Fan also took the initiative to increase the difficulty for himself. Even the evaluation team of Polar Bear only gave him a task of 30 million views. It was obvious that they were not optimistic about the market of this program. However, in order to invest in Lin Fan, Polar Bear was still willing to give him a chance.
But Lin Fan himself took the initiative to raise the bottom line of the number of views to 20 million. Yang Hongxia really didn't know whether Lin Fan was just a young and fearless person or he was too blindly confident.
Lin Fan nodded. Others didn't know the market potential of this program, but Lin Fan himself was very clear about it. With the task of 50 million views, he actually got an advantage.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Sister Xia, we need to open up our horizons. You just said that even if we only get back 10 million in the end, we won't lose anything, right? The bet agreement has been signed, so why not bet a little bigger? Set a small goal first, just in case it is achieved?"
Lin Fan picked up the computer and started typing, then listened to the emotionless synthesized electronic voice reading out the numbers: "Sister Xia, think about it, this is 100 million."
"hiss--!"
Even someone as experienced as Yang Hongxia was completely stunned by this astonishing number, and she was eager to make a move: "Then, let's take a gamble?"
Lin Fan looked at Yang Hongxia sincerely: "Sister Xia, believe me, when have I ever let you lose money?"
Well, although Lin Fan himself was badly cheated by the unscrupulous landlord, he has indeed not let Yang Hongxia suffer any loss since signing the cooperation agreement with her.
Yang Hongxia was also in great torment. On one side was the guaranteed price of 10 million, and on the other side was a sky-high price of 100 million. The gap between them was too big, but at the same time, the temptation of this clause was also very great. Yang Hongxia decided to leave this difficult problem to the polar bear to decide.
As a result, Zhang Bin of Polar Bear received the second gambling agreement sent back by Yang Hongxia. Looking at the shocking terms and amounts on it, Zhang Bin couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Is Lin Fan so confident about his program? Isn't he afraid that if he fails to complete the task, he will only get 10 million yuan to protect his capital? Zhang Bin didn't dare to make the decision on such a huge gambling agreement, so he had to report the agreement to the top management to decide whether to sign it. Why did Zhang Bin feel that the polar bear was in the dominant position at the beginning, but now through an agreement, Lin Fan was in charge of everything? This young man is a bit scary.
The top management of Polar Bear was also shocked by this agreement for a moment, but soon, they readily agreed to the terms of this agreement, because after analysis and evaluation by a professional team, this agreement was more advantageous to Polar Bear than the agreement that Polar Bear had proposed himself.
Since Lin Fan dared to propose such a clause, there was nothing that Polar Bear would not dare to sign.
Soon, after many discussions and revisions on the details of the contract, the two parties finally signed a bet agreement between Earthling Studio and Polar Bear Platform.
Then at eight o'clock that evening, the official account of the Polar Bear Platform directly released the latest developments.
