Lin Xiaoxiao can only rely on herself now. Only by accumulating more capital can she truly get a chance to sit at the table.
"How about we discuss the cooperation plan?"
Li Yichuan was surprised that Lin Xiaoxiao decided to cooperate without even going back to think about it. He immediately smiled and took out the contract from his bag and handed it to Lin Xiaoxiao.
"The Li Group spent a considerable amount of money and connections to acquire this project, so we will take 80% of the profits. Director Lin, you have the final say on the content and team. We will decide on the casting. The copyright belongs to Y platform, and all other details are written in the contract."
Lin Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "I'm sure you're joking. Since Y platform has no intention of cooperating, I'll take my leave."
Li Yichuan quickly tried to persuade him to stay, "President Lin, if you're not satisfied, we can talk again. Don't be in such a hurry to leave. The best I can do here is add another 10%, but any more..."
Lin Xiaoxiao interrupted directly, "Six for four, you get six, don't say I'm being disrespectful. I'm currently competing with the M platform, but I also have the Lin Group behind me. A small game company can't compete with the Lin Group in terms of cash flow; it's uncertain who will stay and who will go. In the production team, I'm in charge, you can't interfere. The copyright is jointly owned; if you can accept that, then cooperate; if not, find someone else."
Li Yichuan ground his back teeth. He really didn't expect Lin Xiaoxiao to cross their bottom line. But nowadays, Y platform doesn't have a single capable variety show director. It has already cost the group a lot of money and connections to snatch this project from M platform. This project cannot afford to make any mistakes. Money is a small matter. At least we have to do a good job of currying favor with the higher-ups.
Lin Xiaoxiao was persuaded to stay again, and she knew she had made the right gamble. The other party didn't know the specifics of her situation with the Lin Group, nor the truth about the Lin Group's investment, so they mistakenly thought she wasn't short of money. Of course, most importantly, the Y platform didn't have any usable directors.
Platform M excels at romance dramas and variety shows. Platform Y had been investing money in them but consistently lost money and couldn't find its niche in the industry. Their projects were always following Platform M's lead; whatever Platform M did, they did too.
It wasn't until the huge success of "The Murderer" last year that Y platform found its niche: high-quality dramas. However, Lin Xiaoxiao was somewhat surprised that Y platform snatched a variety show project that M platform had already secured.
Only after acquiring the talent did Y platform realize they couldn't assemble a team. Or perhaps Y platform had much bigger ambitions; the other party didn't lack variety show directors, but their choice to hire Lin Xiaoxiao suggests they weren't aiming for mediocrity, but rather a massive hit and awards.
Li Yichuan went out and made a phone call, and the two parties agreed on a time to sign the contract.
When Lin Xiaoxiao got home, she changed her clothes and took a shower, her body covered in a cold sweat. But she was overjoyed. She never expected that she, a lowly worker earning five thousand yuan, could now negotiate projects worth tens of millions. The fact that the other party agreed meant that they wanted something from her, so she didn't need to be polite. Every piece of meat she could get was a piece of meat.
After this project, Lin Xiaoxiao still needs to consider the future projects following "Asking the Heavens." There must be continuous output to support the people in this large company.
