"If it's too little, it's not worth it. If it's too much, people might not want to buy it. After all, it's just a low-budget sitcom..."
However, before Wei Shaoyan could finish, Qin Sheng had already shaken his head firmly and said seriously,
"No, I'm not going to sell the copyright. I'm only going to accept an advertising revenue sharing agreement."
Hearing this, Wei Shaoyan was stunned. "What? Advertising revenue sharing? Are you serious?"
Qin Sheng nodded, "Seriously."
In fact, there are two ways for the three video platforms, Penguin, iQiyi and Youku, to cooperate with producers.
One is copyright buyout, which means that the producer directly sells the copyright of the work to the video platform, and the video platform pays to buy out the copyright. Subsequently, a series of income related to the work has nothing to do with the producer.
To put it simply, it means taking the money and leaving.
The kind of cooperation Qin Sheng wanted was an advertising profit-sharing contract model, where the copyright was in the hands of the producer, and the income related to the work was divided with the video platform based on the profit-sharing system in the contract.
Generally speaking, the profitability of this cooperation model is mainly closely related to the click-through rate of the work, the number of advertisements inserted, and the number of effective views by platform members.
Wei Shaoyan couldn't understand it. After all, compared with the two, the former was obviously safer and made money faster.
The only requirement is that the standards are relatively high. After all, you have to be attractive to others before they are willing to pay to buy you out.
As for the latter, it also has its advantages, but generally speaking, if it is not a big hit, the profit from the advertising profit-sharing contract will definitely not be higher than the copyright buyout.
Before this, there had never been a sitcom in the history of film and television that was a real hit. At most, it had only achieved decent results.
Therefore, Wei Shaoyan personally prefers to buy out the copyright, but Qin Sheng's attitude is surprisingly tough.
The two discussed for half an hour.
Finally, Wei Shaoyan gave in.
He lit a cigarette, sighed deeply, and said quietly,
"Alas, Qin Sheng, I know you've made a lot of progress, but the biggest flaw for those of us in this field is that we feel too good about ourselves. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many flops."
Qin Sheng grinned, "Why, do you think I'm too conceited?"
"Uh..." Wei Shaoyan bit his cigarette butt, then tapped the table hesitantly and said, "Hmm... a little? I'm not sure, but I think it's very suitable..."
"Forget it."
He took a deep drag on his cigarette and said, "Just make the decision. It's your movie anyway. I don't like to think too much about it."
Qin Sheng glanced at him, leaned back, and found the most comfortable position. He said comfortably, "Don't say that. It's not too late to withdraw your shares now. The cost is only 1.94 million anyway, which is enough for me alone. Just withdraw your shares in the studio and it's done. I'll calculate your wages separately."
"grass."
Wei Shaoyan was unhappy at the time and threw the lighter on the table, "Get lost, quit your ass, I can't quit my shares, I can't quit my shares in this lifetime, we agreed to share wealth, I won't fall behind."
Seeing his righteous look, Qin Sheng smiled unexpectedly.
He lifted up the water cup and drank a sip of water, then supported himself with his hands.
"Okay, then you send the sample to these three video platforms tonight. If they're interested, have them contact me. That's it."
