China Entertainment Anchor

This type of TV series not only received extremely high ratings during its broadcast period, but also had a profound impact on society and became a topic of conversation among people after dinner.

There is no doubt that "In the Name of the People" did it.

Of course, Zhang Yang was criticized by everyone because of this.

So far, this TV series has not been broadcast on online platforms. This has worried many young people who are used to watching TV series on video websites.

They scolded Zhang Yang while scolding the platform for being useless.

In Zhang Yang's home in Beijing, his assistant told him this matter when he came over to give him a work report in the study in the morning.

"Why are you scolding me? This is a good investment from Liu Yifei's studio. Why don't they scold Liu Yifei!" Zhang Yang said angrily after hearing the assistant's words and slamming the table.

The assistant secretly rolled his eyes at Zhang Yang, "Are you willing to scold Liu Yifei?" Even if he really scolded him, he would probably ask the boss's wife to get it back. After all, it was Zhang Yang who invested in this drama.

"Currently, the three major online platforms are contacting us. They all want the online copyright of "In the Name of the People" and they all want exclusive rights."

"Damn, everyone has a lot of thoughts." Zhang Yang was speechless when he saw that they still wanted to broadcast exclusively. The Internet is really rich now.

"Teng Xun Video's exclusive broadcast has reached 500 million episodes." The assistant reminded Zhang Yang.

"So much?" Zhang Yang was shocked. Previously, the normal market price of a solo broadcast of the level of "A Little Smile is Alluring" was only 1.5 million.

If "In the Name of the People" earns 500 million for an exclusive episode, it will be 2 million.

But when he thought about the current ratings of this drama, the finale would probably break 10%, so 2 million is not too much.

"Yes, and they are getting more and more urgent. Dr. Gong and Mr. Sun have both called me so far. I suspect that if this delay continues, Li Yanhong and Xiao Ma will also call you, boss."

Don’t mention Li Yanhong. Mr. Sun is Sun Huaizhong. He is a veteran who joined Tengxun in 03. As soon as he joined Tengxun, he was responsible for media content. He first created Tengxun.com and took over Tengxun Video in 13.

And in such a fierce domestic competition environment, he still sat firmly. Until 24, he was still the boss of Tengxun's video business.

Look at how frequently Youtu changes coaches. As for iQiyi, which has never changed people, that’s because Dr. Gong is the founder!
"Then let them come to the studio to talk tomorrow afternoon. If Dr. Gong and Mr. Sun come, please inform me. If anyone else comes, you will be fully responsible."

"Do you want to notify Yutu?"

"What do you say?"

The assistant nodded to express his understanding. The boss would be short of money!

As for the autonomy given to him by Zhang Yang, he has become accustomed to it as his boss delegates more and more power.

The next morning, the hottest entertainment news of the day belonged to Liu Yifei. She suddenly made her way out of the top topic of "In the Name of the People".

Because "Very Quiet Distance" was broadcast last night.

In the scarf, the Versailles quotations she said, #Just a name#, #basically made money#, instantly reached the top ten in entertainment popularity.

After so many years, Liu Yifei seems to have remained the same, from beginning to end.

She said on the show that she would only be acting in name for the next five to ten years, which was directly interpreted by everyone as wanting to continue filming for another five to ten years. This made her fans extremely happy, and they were afraid that Liu Yifei would withdraw from the circle.

These are public comments that Zhang Yang doesn't care about. He received a call from his assistant in the study in the morning. Dr. Gong and Mr. Sun will be here today.

He hung up the phone and tapped his fingers on the table. It seemed that he had something to do in the afternoon.

At 1:30 that afternoon, Zhang Yang and his bodyguard went to the studio. As for Liu Yifei, she was tired of talking about "In the Name of the People" and didn't want to go. Anyway, it had been authorized by Ocean Studio.

After arriving at the studio and entering the living room, everyone exchanged greetings. Zhang Yang sat in the main seat, and iQiyi and Tengxun Video team sat on the side, which was very harmonious.

The assistant also asked people to start serving tea again. After everyone chatted, Zhang Yang took the initiative and said: "You two don't need to come in person for a TV series. You just need to send someone to talk."

Mr. Sun looked at Dr. Gong secretly. He was not planning to come in person at first. After all, he had many things to do.

But after finding out that Dr. Gong was coming in person, he immediately changed his mind and followed him.

"We, Tengxun Video, are what we are today thanks to Director Zhang's advice. The acquisition of PPS at that time immediately made up for the shortcomings of our video." Mr. Sun spoke in a family tone, which made Dr. Gong indifferent. There is no way.

Although iQiyi also has a relationship with Zhang Yang, there is a byte running between them. They are directly related to Zhang Yang. According to the distance between them, they are closer.

"Mr. Liu's execution ability is still good, I just came up with an idea." Zhang Yang did not take the credit.

"Director Zhang's vision is very accurate. He immediately saw the potential of the TV series "In the Name of the People", which is extraordinary!" Dr. Gong also praised him decisively.

Zhang Yang felt that he couldn't go on like this. There were too many people who wanted to praise him, including these two.

"You are all very busy too. If you have any ideas about "In the Name of the People" just tell me!"

"We at iQiyi are willing to pay 2.3 million for the three-year exclusive rights to this TV series." Dr. Gong was the first to speak out. He had previously heard that Tengxun Video had a high price of over 3 million, and he suddenly raised the price to 2 million to express his determination.

"Our Tengxun Video can offer 2.4 million." Mr. Sun increased the offer by million without blinking an eye. Unlike iQiyi who was short of money, their Tengxun Video was really not short of money.

"The playback effect of a TV series will also be different on different platforms. We love Qiyi..." Dr. Gong talked about how great their love Qiyi is and how many unique benefits it will bring to them.

"This drama is already so popular, what you said seems unnecessary." Mr. Sun spread his hands. Although the online platform of "The People's Righteousness" was broadcast a little late, there was no possibility of missing it, but it also reduced their promotion Trouble.

Now they just need to tell users that we bought the TV series "In the Name of the People".

What Mr. Sun said made sense. After hearing this, Zhang Yang wanted to sell the copyright to him.

"Our Aiqiyi is okay..." "Our Tengxun video..."

People from both their teams also began to speak out and conduct various analyses, but no one raised the price. It is estimated that 2.4 million has almost reached their limit.

Zhang Yang had already thought of this situation. He looked left, right, and finally looked at the assistant standing beside him.

The assistant immediately took a step forward after receiving Zhang Yang's look.

"Everyone, there is no need to get angry over this. I think we can jointly broadcast it." He smiled and put forward his opinions to the noisy teams of both sides.

"If this were the case, the price would not be the same as before." Someone from iQi's team immediately reminded.

"Then let's lower it to 2.3 million. My boss doesn't care much about this amount of money." The assistant said lightly.

After he finished speaking, he added: "If you have any objections, then the one with the highest price will get it!"

Look, Zhang Yang is standing behind the assistant, and he speaks with confidence.

"Okay, just 2.3 million." Dr. Gong agreed immediately. They were so poor! Can't afford to be hurt.

In this regard, the sales of the copyright for "In the Name of the People" are almost the same. The TV station sold 1.5 million in one round plus 1.5 rounds, and the online copyright sold 2.3 million.

A total of 3.8 million was received by Liu Yifei Studio. Including the second round, the final total revenue of the three rounds was more than 4 million.

The studio paid a total of 1.6 million. Net profit of 2.4 million!
Everyone happily signed the contract and went through the procedures in Zhang Yang's studio. After everything was settled, Mr. Sun stood up and left.

After Zhang Yang sent him out of the studio, he was about to see Dr. Gong off again. Unexpectedly, his team was all sitting in the living room with no intention of leaving.

"Director Zhang, I heard that you have the copyright of three novels by author Zi Jincheng?" Dr. Gong asked proactively.

That's right, Zi Jincheng's third novel "Long Night" was also published in January this year. At that time, Zhang Yang's assistant went to discuss copyright, and there was some trouble.

He had some objections to the previous two novels, Zhang Yang, which had no movement at all.

This matter was delayed until the end of February. After Zhang Yang won the Oscar for Best Picture, he simply relented. Of course, it was also because the copyright fee was not low.

"That's right, you're interested in it too?" Zhang Yang was not surprised by this. In his previous life, iQi acquired this copyright.

"Yes, we have contacted him before, and only then did we know that his copyright has been sold to you."

Just as Dr. Gong finished speaking, Zhang Yang's assistant suddenly laughed.

Zhang Yang looked at the assistant beside him. He would not laugh for no reason at this time.

"When we went to discuss copyright, Zi Jincheng looked like an industry insider and was very sure that our studio would not operate his works." The assistant explained to Zhang Yang, but his eyes were focused on the people from iQiyi's team.

He now listens to Dr. Gong's words and is a little suspicious of Aiqiyi's team.

The iQiyi team's expressions did not change after hearing the assistant's words. This is just a routine operation. Just because it's Zhang Yang, they can't do nothing.

Dr. Gong's expression remained normal after hearing the assistant's words: "Really? These writers in the Internet era are also much smarter."

Although their Aiqiyi literary team has said it, maybe other teams have also said it?
“I thought his works were quite interesting, so I bought them.

When I run out of ideas, I will adapt and shoot it myself. Otherwise, it would be nice to shoot it in the afternoon sunshine. "Zhang Yang said briskly.

"Afternoon Sunshine hasn't had time recently. I heard that they also took on a gift drama." Dr. Gong also inquired a lot about the news.

Zhang Yang waved his hand and looked like you were too worried: "I bought the copyright for 10 years, which is a long time."

"Director Zhang, you can give us a try on iQiyi novels first." An employee of iQiyi team boldly suggested.

"It's not necessary." Zhang Yang planned to make these three novels into a trilogy, so it would be almost meaningless to separate them.

"When it's broadcast, we might even be able to cooperate with your website."

Dr. Gong and the others secretly smiled bitterly in their hearts. Nowadays, the price of buying dramas is getting more and more expensive. If iQiyi can no longer afford it, they will make homemade dramas.

"Okay, let's buy as much as possible when the time comes!" Dr. Gong said helplessly.

Zhang Yang heard their tone and realized that iQiyi's financial situation was still not optimistic. He looked at Dr. Gong and said meaningfully: "The video website still has not found the right path."

"I wonder what Director Zhang has to say?" Dr. Gong's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhang Yang and asked. Zhang Yang was also very thoughtful in this regard, as you can tell from his involvement in the afternoon sun.

Zhang Yang smiled and said nothing. When ByteDance acquires iQiyi in the future, it would not be too late for him to make suggestions.

iQiyi’s team finally left Zhang Yang’s office disappointed.

Today's business is now completed. Zhang Yang and his assistant took the opportunity to check on various departments in the studio.

When he came to the Bibo Entertainment Management Group, he even had a special chat with the employee from the General Administration.

When he walked out of the office after shopping, Team Leader Zhou also followed him out.

Zhang Yang looked at him puzzled: "Is there anything else?"
