The first person to contact Qin Sheng was Xu Wenhui, who loved chess and suggested meeting at the Heipi Coffee Shop.
Then came Shi Shunyi from Youku and Jiang Qianqian from Penguin.
Qin Sheng didn't feel flattered when three fish came at once. Instead, he gathered the three fish together and waited for those who were willing to take the bait.
Black leather coffee shop,
Four men and one woman sat opposite each other. The space was not crowded, but the atmosphere was somewhat mysterious.
In fact, even if Xu Wenhui, Shi Shunyi, and Jiang Qianqian racked their brains, they could not have imagined that Qin Sheng had the courage to directly invite the three video platform giants together.
Is this guy raising a Gu?!
You really have courage.
Is he so confident that we won't flip the table and leave?
Of course, these are just thoughts. They do come to cooperate with a sincere attitude.
This circle has always been so realistic. As long as your work is good, you will never have to worry about not having a place to work for it.
The three of them exchanged polite glances, all displaying perfect social smiles, but in their hearts they began to urgently calculate.
What kind of conditions will he or she offer?
"Excuse me."
Finally, it was Qin Sheng who broke the silence. "I hadn't expected to be chosen by all three of you platforms at the same time, but the reality was a bit unexpected. So, I was shocked and unthinkingly invited all three of you together. I hope you don't mind."
“Uh hehehe…”
The three of them smiled wryly at the same time, but in their hearts they all started to complain.
There's not even a hint of shock on your face!
It's clearly waiting for a good price!
This is so shameless!
But it was still necessary to say some polite words. The three of them waved their hands and said with a smile,
"No, no, Mr. Qin, you're overthinking it. We at Penguin aren't so petty. Good works are naturally worthy of competition."
"We love chess..."
"Me too..."
Wei Shaoyan on the side could hardly hold back his laughter.
A moment of shock?
It's simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.
It was obvious that he did it on purpose, but he had the audacity to come up with such a ridiculous excuse. I guess only Qin Sheng has the nerve to say that. He can't do that anyway.
The three of them pondered the matter secretly for a while, and finally, Jiang Qianqian from Penguin chose to take the initiative.
"Hello, Mr. Qin, I'm Jiang Qianqian from the Penguin Video Acquisition Department."
As she spoke, she took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Qin Sheng.
"We at Penguin Video are very optimistic about Mr. Qin's work. Before I left, the director repeatedly urged me to reach a cooperation with Mr. Qin. We are willing to give Mr. Qin the best treatment within our capabilities, and we hope that Mr. Qin will consider it."
Qin Sheng took Jiang Qianqian's business card and looked at it carefully, but turned a deaf ear to her nice words.
For him, the only two things he cares about at the moment are the recommended position of the work and the profit-sharing terms of the contract.
As for the rest, they are just useless efforts to scratch the itch.
As an insider, Qin Sheng is well aware of the importance of recommendation positions. An eye-catching recommendation position can help a work attract a large number of fans in the shortest time. In other words, a good recommendation position means high exposure, which is crucial for Qin Sheng, a new director who has no influence.
Although there is a saying that makes sense, gold will always shine.
But no one likes the pain of waiting, so Qin Sheng originally hoped to shorten the process of shining as much as possible.
"Director Qin, I'm Xu Wenhui, a chess lover."
Xu Wenhui was even more direct and directly laid out the conditions.
"Our company is very fond of Director Qin's 'Wulin Waijia' and is willing to offer a membership fee of 7 yuan per film. I believe Director Qin is aware of the current market price in China. We are sincere and hope that Director Qin can consider it..."
"Director Qin, I'm Shi Shunyi from Youku. The company is willing to charge 7 yuan per film, and we're also willing to offer Director Qin a 70% profit margin..."
Qin Sheng maintained a calm expression throughout the whole process, but in fact he was silently making calculations and comparisons in his mind.
The actual price per episode mentioned by the three people is the price per episode during the membership payment period.
This involves the terms of the advertising revenue sharing cooperation, which can be simply put as follows:
Total share amount = share amount during membership payment period + share amount during advertising share period.
The amount shared during the membership payment period = the number of valid playbacks by the member (more than 10 minutes) * the unit price per episode * the sharing ratio.
With the current terrifying upward trend of the Internet, the number of members on video platforms has reached its peak in the past decade.
Therefore, even if the price per episode increases by just a small amount, it will be a huge and visible profit for the producers.
However, the price of a single episode or a single film is only part of Qin Sheng's consideration and cannot play a decisive role.
So he knocked on the table, leaned back, his expression was calm, and his tone was somewhat relaxed.
"Can you all tell me what kind of promotion I can expect in the initial stage if my work cooperates with your platform?"
Shi Shunyi, Jiang Qianqian, and Xu Wenhui were all stunned at this moment.
In fact, if the pace of the "negotiation" was still following the trajectory that the three people had in mind, then at this moment the control of the pace was completely controlled by Qin Sheng.
How can this guy look like a novice director whose first work flopped?
