Chapter 283: Lin Fan Made Big Money Again. He Received 80 Million.
Yuehua Entertainment.
The many shareholders sat together.
“CEO Li, why did you let Lin Fan discuss the cost of the premiere rights? Shouldn’t this be our company’s business?”
“If Lin Fan doesn’t negotiate a high price, our company might lose money.”
“I wonder what kind of price Lin Fan can negotiate. However, we’ll most likely suffer a loss for the second season of Joy of Life. At most, Lin Fan can negotiate a premiere rights fee of 200 million yuan. Our television drama already has more than 300 million yuan in investments.”
“Sigh, there’s no choice. Fortunately, this television drama can become popular. If it becomes popular, the subsequent profits won’t be bad.”
“But it’s not too clear whether it will become popular or not. After all, Huace Pictures is still targeting our company. There are still so many haters online who don’t think this drama will become popular.”
“If this drama doesn’t become popular, our company will really suffer a huge loss.”
…
After Lin Fan returned to the company, Lin Qianwei had to hand over the contract to the company’s legal department and report to CEO Li.
“Qianwei, how much in copyright fees did Lin Fan negotiate this time? Which video websites are he working with?” CEO Li asked.
“Six hundred million, and he will be working with Tencent Arts and iQiyi,” Lin Qianwei said.
Hearing Lin Qianwei’s words, the shareholders of the Yuehua Group all looked at her in disbelief.
......
Even CEO Li was a little dumbfounded.
None of them had misheard right?
Six hundred million in copyright fees. Was that possible?
Over the years, it was already very terrifying that the copyright fee for the premiere of a television series could reach 100 million.
After all, these video websites had to be profitable.
As they were working with two video websites, the premiere rights for the first season of Joy of Life were sold for more than 100 million.
As for the second season of Joy of Life, the investment was very large and cost a lot of money.
Although most of the money came from investors, Yuehua Entertainment still needed money to buy scripts, pay the actors’ remunerations, and hire the relevant staff.
A lot of money had to be earned from the follow-up income generated by celebrities.
When they heard that Lin Fan had negotiated such a high premiere rights fee, everyone in the company was deeply shocked.
“Qianwei, repeat yourself. How much did the two video websites pay us for the premiere rights?” CEO Li asked again.
“CEO Li, the copyright fee is 600 million yuan. The contract has been handed over to the legal department, and the copyright fee should be transferred to the company’s account soon,” Lin Qianwei said.
After Lin Qianwei finished speaking, the people in the company finally recovered.
“Six hundred million. How is that possible? How is that possible? Who knew that Tencent Arts and iQiyi would be willing to pay six hundred million!”
“Oh my God, six hundred million. That’s a sky-high price. Lin Fan is too awesome. How did he negotiate that price with the two video companies?”
“If we let our company’s professional negotiators negotiate the price, it won’t reach six hundred million.”
“Who would believe that? It’s just premiere rights and all our company’s costs have been recouped.”
“Right now, it doesn’t matter if the TV series goes viral or not. We won’t lose anything. In fact, we might even make nearly two hundred million dollars.”
“Although we still have to pay taxes, our company can still earn about 200 million yuan. All of this is thanks to Lin Fan.”
“Is Lin Fan even human? He can actually negotiate such a high price for the premiere rights. I knew it was the right decision to let Lin Fan negotiate the price.”
Everyone in the company spoke with a hint of shock in their eyes.
They didn’t know how Lin Fan did it, but there was really an additional 600 million yuan in the company’s account.
Although they still had to pay taxes in the future and had to pay a lot,
the company had still made a profit of two hundred million.
During this period of time, Yuehua Entertainment had also contributed a lot. Filming a television drama required the cooperation and help of many people. Yuehua Entertainment had also put in a lot of effort.
Although Lin Fan was the director of the second season of “Joy of Life”, the entertainment company behind it was also going to take a lot of money.
After all, many staff had to be paid, and the company also needed money to operate.
“CEO Li, it’s all thanks to Lin Fan that we have so much money. We must reward Lin Fan well.”
“I think we can promote Lin Fan. Lin Fan is our company’s top screenwriter and top director. How can we not promote him?”
“Lin Fan must be in need of money now. We must thank him properly. Lin Fan is too strong.”
Many of the company’s shareholders were shocked. Lin Fan had obtained such a high premiere rights fee, so everyone in the company could earn profits.
“Contact the finance department and transfer eighty million yuan to Lin Fan’s account. This is what he deserves.” CEO Li smiled.
This was the company’s reward for Lin Fan.
Of course, as for Lin Fan being short of money, these shareholders did not know Lin Fan’s background, but CEO Li did.
Lin Fan’s prowess was enough to make people revere him.
He still remembered that the 100-billion-yuan Huo Corporation, which went against Lin Fan, had been severely crippled for some reason.
This had to do with Lin Fan.
The background behind Lin Fan must be terrifyingly strong.
….
At this moment, Lin Fan was playing Chinese chess in the office.
There were many celebrities around. Su Xiaoyu, Lin Jingjing, Xu Yang, Lin Kexin, and Tang Xinran.
“Damn, have you guys heard? The premiere rights for the second season of Joy of Life have actually sold for 600 million!”
“This is f*cking shocking. The company has just posted on Weibo that the second season of Joy of Life can be broadcasted tonight. It will be serialized for eight episodes a week!”
“And they’re all being serialized simultaneously by the two video companies, iQiyi and Tencent Arts. I wonder who can sell the premiere rights to 600 million yuan.”
“I found out that Brother Fan was the one who negotiated the premiere rights. Brother Fan is awesome!”
“Holy sh*t, really?!!”
Xu Yang was amazed. He had not expected Lin Fan to know how to negotiate other than knowing how to write scripts and direct.
Is this man omnipotent?
The key was that when he went to negotiate, he also negotiated a sky-high price of six hundred million.
The company was making a killing.
A true killing.
600 million was a sum that many people could not earn in their entire lives.
“Ahhh, Master is so awesome!” Su Xiaoyu ate her ice cream with an excited and happy expression.
“It’s really amazing. 600 million. Who would be able to negotiate such a price?” Lin Kexin also looked impressed.
“Brother Lin Fan is the best.” Tang Xinran looked at him with admiration. In her eyes, Lin Fan was an indomitable idol. Nothing could stop him.
“Lin Fan, tell me the truth. How much will you get after getting the premiere rights fee to 600 million?” Xu Yang asked.
While everyone was excited, Lin Fan was still playing Chinese chess with the computer.
Lin Fan was very calm about how much money was involved.
Actually, how much money could there be? The cost of filming the television drama alone was 350 million yuan. There were also other miscellaneous costs, tax deduction, insurance and the salary of the company’s employees which added up to a considerable sum.
When Lin Fan said nothing, Xu Yang shook his head helplessly.
He didn’t know if Lin Fan was possessed or what, but he played Chinese chess every day.
It was then that Lin Fan’s phone rang.
A text notification. It was a text from the Construction Bank.
[Your platinum black card bank ending in 6115 was transferred RMB80,000,000 at 5pm on October 3rd. [Construction Bank]]
Xu Yang was dumbfounded when he saw the news.
Lin Fan went to negotiate…
and actually got 80 million!!!
