I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 252 251. Deliberately embarrassing sky-high performance fees! The Spring Festival Gala program team compromised!

Guo Haitao was feeling both painful and happy at the moment, which was somewhat similar to the mood of Li Yumin from Douyu Live!
Both television ratings and online live broadcast audience numbers hit new highs.

The viewership of over five points and the number of online users exceeding 40 million shocked the entire industry, proving that Jiang Chen's popularity was definitely not limited to the live broadcast on mobile phones, but could be displayed on any screen.

After knowing the detailed data of yesterday's singing competition, many people in the circle are eager to make a move on Jiang Chen. He is simply a walking super traffic package.

but……

Anyone interested can easily find out the price of Jiang Chen's performance, which makes many people hesitate.

Fifty million for a performance is simply unbelievably high.

Jiang Chen's performance in the competition costs more than 20 million, which seems to be a great deal. There must be an emotional factor involved.

Guo Haitao only dared to continue discussing the subsequent performance contract with Jiang Chen because he received strong support from both the TV station and the copyright company.

"Jiang Chen, congratulations, yesterday's performance was very successful."

Guo Haitao came up and congratulated Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen turned off the live broadcast and said to Guo Haitao with a smile: "Thank you Director Guo, this is also due to your contribution."

Guo Haitao looked at Jiang Chen as if he was looking at a perfect piece of jade. He could not find any flaws in his talent, behavior style, or temperament.

Of course, with Jiang Chen's talent, he would automatically ignore even some shortcomings.

Guo Haitao smiled and said, "No, you still made the greatest contribution. How was the download volume of "No Place to Live" yesterday?"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "I haven't seen it yet, I don't know!"

Guo Haitao was speechless after hearing this, and his smile froze for a moment.

Such an important work was uploaded, but Jiang Chen didn't even pay attention to the sales.

But he had already found out.

Now this song can be heard everywhere on the Internet and even in reality. The download volume of Penguin Music has exceeded 30 million. This is just the data for one night. By the afternoon, the download volume in 24 hours a day will definitely exceed 40 million, and may even reach 50 million.

Even those young and handsome guys who are good at faking data don’t dare to fake this kind of data because it is too fake.

However, no one dared to say that Jiang Chen's data was false.

Because everyone knows that this is absolutely true.

Therefore, it is even more incredible.

Guo Haitao felt that it was difficult to chat with Jiang Chen, so he got straight to the point and said seriously, "Jiang Chen, I came to see you today to discuss more cooperation in the future."

Jiang Chen nodded: "If you want to discuss cooperation, you can talk to Xiao Qingzi. She will be in charge of all my work and business matters."

Han Qing said with a smile: "Yes, Director Guo, just talk to me. What kind of cooperation is it? Advertising business and the like, needless to say, I have rejected them all. Also, some other TV stations and program teams have been contacting me, and I have also rejected them for the time being."

Guo Haitao's mouth twitched slightly after hearing this, and then he said directly: "It's about the subsequent performances of our program. I want to continue to invite Jiang Chen to perform a show at the beginning of each program. The performance fee can be discussed later."

Han Qing didn't express her opinion immediately after hearing this. Instead, she looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Jiang Chen, do you want to perform one more show? If you agree, you will have to perform two shows each time. Are you tired?"

Han Qing would definitely ask Jiang Chen for his opinion first. If Jiang Chen felt tired and didn't want to perform, she would definitely refuse. No matter how high the price Guo Haitao offered, she would not discuss it anymore.

It's not about money.

Guo Haitao felt helpless again after hearing this.

Other celebrity singers are all trying their best to perform on their shows, and they would be willing to pay for it if it meant they could have one more show.

After all, such a large exposure can attract a lot of popularity. Once the popularity increases, it will be easy to make money in other ways.

However, these have no appeal to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen listened to Han Qing and Guo Haitao's words, thought about it for a moment, nodded, and simply said two words: "Okay!"

He wanted to retire early and enjoy a leisurely life.

However, he didn't want to see so many excellent works from parallel worlds buried in his mind.

Therefore, if he could perform one more show, he could show everyone the works in his mind faster, and he could retire earlier.

As for the money, he didn't care and let Han Qing talk about it.

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he got up and went to the next room to read a book or write.

Yan Ruyu stood up and followed Jiang Chen. She was Jiang Chen's personal assistant, so naturally she had to follow Jiang Chen all the time.

Guo Haitao and Han Qing were the only ones left in the living room discussing Jiang Chen's subsequent performances.

Guo Haitao said directly: "The King of Singers Contest is temporarily China's King of Singers Contest. But, Han Qing, I have a piece of news for you. The domestic copyright holders of this program and several international copyright holders are preparing to hold an international King of Singers Contest. At that time, the champions of each division will be allowed to participate in the international King of Singers Contest."

"If Jiang Chen wins the championship in our Huaxia division, then he will have the opportunity to represent our Huaxia division in other competitions. If he wins the championship, he will be crowned the world singing king and become an international top star. And achieving the title of world singing king as a Chinese singer is definitely of great significance."

Guo Haitao explained the subsequent arrangements of the program team to Han Qing in advance to facilitate further cooperation.

Moreover, Guo Haitao emphasized the great significance of Chinese singers achieving the title of World Singer King, and obviously wanted to use national sentiment to kidnap Jiang Chen and Han Qing.

However, Han Qing smiled and said, "Those world competitions are for the future, it's too early to talk about it now. The contract we signed with Director Guo is only a performance contract during the Chinese Singing King Competition. If Jiang Chen is qualified to participate in the world competition, it depends on whether Jiang Chen is willing to participate. If he is willing to participate, I will discuss the contract issue of the world competition with Director Guo."

After hearing this, Guo Haitao's face turned serious. He looked at Han Qing and knew that Han Qing was very difficult to deal with. It was obvious that she did not want to agree to the World Championship now. She wanted to wait until Jiang Chen won the championship and then let the results speak for themselves. If the copyright company did not spend a lot of money, it might not be able to invite Jiang Chen to participate in the World Championship.

If Jiang Chen refuses to participate in the World Championship, the Chinese division will automatically forfeit the rights, and the Chinese copyright holder will not get a penny from the revenue from the World Championship.

However, Guo Haitao is just a small program director, not a senior executive of the copyright company. He does not consider the follow-up, but only the effect of the program he is currently working on. He said, "Okay, let's talk about the future later. Let's talk about the renewal of Jiang Chen's subsequent performance contract first."

"To show our sincerity, we have raised Jiang Chen's performance fee to 60 million per performance. This is definitely a sky-high price in the industry. Teacher Zhou Ming and Teacher Ye Lan's performance fees for the entire season are less than 60 million."

Han Qing shook her head: "Director Guo, how much money they make is their business. They can't compare with Jiang Chen. There are only two of us here, so I speak directly, and I'm not afraid that you will spread it and offend them. I'll be frank, they have gained huge benefits from being on the show, not only their popularity has skyrocketed, but they can also make a lot of money." "And for Jiang Chen, being on your show is not worth the loss. Director Guo, do you agree with this?"

Guo Haitao remained silent. This was what he had said to Mr. Liu from the copyright company before, so he naturally agreed with it.

Zhou Ming, Ye Lan, Yuan Caiyi, Chen Xun and others all became famous thanks to the show, and the benefits they gained were enormous.

Jiang Chen brought huge attention, traffic, and ratings to the program!

Guo Haitao nodded: "I know, how much do you want, Han Qing?"

Han Qing said confidently, "I don't want more, and I don't want to haggle over numbers with you. It's meaningless. I'll tell you a number, 100 million! If Director Guo thinks it's okay, then sign a contract for a few subsequent performances. If you think it's too expensive and not worth it, then forget it. I actually prefer to see Jiang Chen take more rest."

When Guo Haitao heard this number, his eyes widened slightly.

This has exceeded the maximum budget of 80 million given by General Manager Liu and Director Li.

It’s more than 20 million.

Guo Haitao argued, "Han Qing, can it be lower? How about 80 million? This is the most expensive price among all the expensive prices. 80 million for one show, plus three or four shows, that's about 300 million for the performance fee. This is already much higher than the production cost of our entire season."

Guo Haitao knew that if the copyright company was not thinking about the revenue from the World Games and the TV station was not thinking about the traffic of its own video platform, neither party would have given Jiang Chen so much money and done a business at a loss.

It is because both parties are thinking of greater benefits elsewhere that they give such a high budget and are prepared to lose money.

but……

Han Qing shook her head. "Director Guo, I'm sorry. I told you I don't want to argue back and forth. It's meaningless. It's just 100 million. You can discuss it with the others. If it's okay, then sign the contract. If not, forget it."

Guo Haitao opened his mouth slightly and wanted to speak, but when he saw Han Qing's firm and confident look, he knew that the other party was really determined to get this number.

He is not in a position to bargain.

Because, no matter whether a performance costs 80 million or 100 million, it means nothing to Jiang Chen.

If Jiang Chen uses the works from this performance for live broadcast, the income will far exceed 100 million!

Han Qing wanted this number with a bit of deliberate awkwardness, hoping that Guo Haitao would give up so that Jiang Chen wouldn't have to waste more of his talent and works on the program.

Guo Haitao was silent for a few seconds and said, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with them and give you an answer as soon as possible."

Han Qing: "Okay, give me an accurate answer within one day so that I can discuss it with Jiang Chen and he can prepare his performance in advance. You know, Jiang Chen only performs his original works. This requires advance preparation."

I only perform my own original works...

It sounds really awesome.

If someone else said this, Guo Haitao would definitely sneer at it, thinking that the other person was just showing off and bragging.

However, Han Qing said this, and she was referring to Jiang Chen.

Guo Haitao could only nod in agreement and give Jiang Chen a thumbs up in his heart - really awesome.

"Okay then, I'll contact you as soon as possible within a day. Sorry to bother you."

Guo Haitao stood up and said goodbye, wanting to contact General Manager Liu and Director Li as soon as possible to ask them if they could still raise the price.

Han Qing stood up and saw Guo Haitao off, with a look of relief on her face and a slightly complicated expression.

She thought about how she was living in a small rental house of less than ten square meters in Shanghai a month ago, working as a humble migrant worker and not knowing what she would do in her life. But today, a month later, she can negotiate a contract worth hundreds of millions on behalf of Jiang Chen, and has also got the upper hand over one of the best variety show directors in the entertainment industry.

Life is so magical sometimes, you never know what will happen tomorrow.

Han Qing looked at the messages on her phone. There were many messages from people from major TV stations, as well as countless missed calls, from TV stations and program crews, as well as many advertisers.

"Ms. Han Qing, I'm from Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV. We would like to invite Jiang Chen to be on a show at our station. The announcement fee is negotiable!"

"Ms. Han Qing, I am the general manager of Nike Sports Brand in China. I would like to meet with you and Jiang Chen to discuss this. We would like to invite Jiang Chen to be our image spokesperson in China. The endorsement fee is negotiable and will definitely satisfy you. It will not be less than 100 million per year..."

"Ms. Han Qing..."

"Ms. Han Qing..."

Han Qing did not answer the calls from those unfamiliar numbers, so these people sent countless text messages, directly stating their purpose and wanting to get in touch with Han Qing and Jiang Chen.

However, Han Qing ignored it.

Han Qing was about to put down her phone and look for Jiang Chen when she saw a message: "Hello, Ms. Han Qing. I am from the CCTV Spring Festival Gala production team. We would like to invite Jiang Chen to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala. We can agree to the conditions Mr. Jiang Chen mentioned before. We can discuss the details of the cooperation in person. We are here with absolute sincerity and hope to invite Mr. Jiang Chen to our stage to show his talent to the people of the country."

Han Qing frowned slightly when she saw that the message was from the Spring Festival Gala program team.

She still remembered that when Jiang Chen was in Chengdu, Yan Ruyu had met the people from the Spring Festival Gala program team at Sichuan University. At that time, the people from the Spring Festival Gala program team came to Sichuan University and wanted to arrange two works written by Jiang Chen to be displayed on the Spring Festival Gala stage. At the same time, they wanted to choreograph programs for the two works and invite Jiang Chen to perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage together.

However, Jiang Chen put forward his own conditions at that time, which was to go later, at most about half a month in advance to attend rehearsals and performances. At the same time, the rehearsal and performance time could not delay Jiang Chen's rest time. He had to get off work and rest before nine o'clock in the evening at the latest. If he lived far away, he would get off work at eight o'clock.

Apparently...

Jiang Chen's requests were rejected without hesitation by the Spring Festival Gala program team at that time.

Because these are outrageous conditions that the Spring Festival Gala program team has not seen in the past 20 or 30 years.

And now.

They actually took the initiative to find Han Qing again and proposed to agree to some of Jiang Chen's conditions at their discretion!
A smile appeared on Han Qing's lips.

The Spring Festival Gala program team is like the emperor in the Chinese entertainment industry. No one in the entertainment industry dares to refuse the invitation of the Spring Festival Gala program team, and they absolutely dare not put forward any conditions to the Spring Festival Gala program team. If they offend anyone in the program team in the slightest, they may be banned for a period of time with just one word from them.

But now, even a powerful and proud Spring Festival Gala production team has compromised with Jiang Chen.
