"Director, I... I..."
Xiaolan's face was pale, thinking she was about to be scolded again, almost frightened to tears.
Everyone in the center knew Director Zheng's temper.
Director Zheng was a bit awkward:
"No, did you just say Chairman Wang of Xingyi Technology? Chairman Wang of Meiyou Technology?"
"Yes,"
Xiaolan nodded.
"Oh! Why didn't you make such an important matter clearer?"
Director Zheng took a deep breath, his expression becoming solemn, nearly offending the sugar daddy!
Xiaolan was a bit speechless: "..."
'I did make it clear, but you just lashed out at me and scolded me...'
Of course, these words could only be thought in her heart; if she said them aloud, her job would be over.
"Where is Chairman Wang? When is he coming? I'm available anytime!"
"Director, Chairman Wang is on his way and will be here shortly."
"Alright, go wait at the entrance, no, let's both go together!"
With that, Director Zheng tidied his clothes and strode out.
Xiaolan fell silent: "..."
However, she felt a little amused and helpless inside,
'I knew it, how dare you be so disdainful when Chairman Wang is coming? Such a high posture? Turns out your reaction time is just too slow! Hehe.'
Director Zheng's mouth twitched:
"Xiaolan, what kind of look is that? Are you laughing at me in your heart, aren't you?"
"No, absolutely not. Director, I wouldn't dare!"
Xiaolan's expression slightly changed.
"Hehe, your little thoughts can't hide from me!"
Director Zheng was a bit speechless; as a director, he could see through someone's thoughts with just one expression:
"But Chairman Wang is here, and I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you. Let's go!"
After all, if Xiaolan hadn't reported directly to the higher-up, missing Chairman Wang today would have been a huge loss!
No matter how awesome a director, even the president of the Directors' Guild, they have to bow their heads to capital.
There's no way around it, in the entire entertainment industry, capital is the daddy!
Moreover, a super patron like Wang Yi is a top-tier figure in both the entertainment and film industries.
Not only is he powerful and generous, but he also has sharp insight, brings his own resources, and doesn't overly interfere with a director's creative work or casting!
"Love Is Not Blind" grossed over 600 million yuan domestically and will be released overseas, not only breaking many records but also having limitless prospects.
Insiders all understood that without Wang Yi's investment and support, such good results would be impossible to achieve, at most three hundred million at the box office.
To put it simply, without Meiyou's initial overwhelming publicity, pushing "Love Is Not Blind" onto trending searches every day, could it have achieved such high box office numbers?
And after the box office bottleneck, 'Farewell to the White Moonlight' was also a brilliant idea from Wang Yi, which gave "Love Is Not Blind" a second wind, securing another three hundred million at the box office!
All of this was Wang Yi's credit.
It can be said that any director, as long as their film quality is up to par, with Wang Yi's support, can double their box office!
Currently, Wang Yi is not just a sugar daddy, but also a resource daddy, a traffic daddy, and a box office guarantee!
Meiyou APP has 70 million users, and "Defend the Pomelo" has 120 million users.
A wave of promotion means how much traffic?
Which director or producer isn't envious?
Capital is important, but resources and traffic are even more important!
So much so that now the entire entertainment industry is eager to cling to Wang Yi's leg.
It's just that Chairman Wang's business is growing bigger and bigger, and while they have ideas, without good projects, they don't dare to venture forward rashly.
'Xu Cui is still shrewd; she latched onto Chairman Wang's leg when Meiyou was just starting! She even had her artists go to the Meiyou Celebrity Club for custom services, appear on "Youyan," and build good relationships with Chairman Wang. Their future is limitless!'
Director Zheng sighed with emotion:
'As for that kid Du Tianhua, he just got lucky!'
'But it's all good now, this immense fortune is coming my way, haha!'
Director Zheng was in a great mood, looked at Xiaolan, and smiled kindly:
"You're doing great, keep up the good work!"
"???"
Xiaolan was a bit overwhelmed, did King Zheng drink too much? He's even smiling?
She immediately nodded:
"I will, thank you, Director!"
Soon, Wang Yi arrived.
As soon as he got out of the car, Director Zheng strode forward to greet him, extending his hand from afar:
"Chairman Wang, welcome for your guidance, welcome, welcome!"
"Director Zheng, you're too kind, I'm here to learn," Wang Yi said with a smile.
"Chairman Wang, you're too modest. In the film industry, your investment vision has always been excellent!"
"You flatter me."
After some pleasantries, the group arrived at the conference room.
"Chairman Wang, you previously asked about the advertising sponsorship for 'Empresses in the Palace.' This is the current situation. The current drama broadcast model is "4+X," meaning a maximum of four satellite TV channels for the first round, broadcast simultaneously with several local TV channels. If the drama is popular, there will be second and third rounds..."
Wang Yi understood that the "4+X" distribution policy could reduce the procurement costs for satellite TV stations.
Currently, TV drama producers invest tens of millions in filming, and their main sources of income are TV stations buying broadcast rights and online digital rights.
However, current online digital copyright prices are very low.
LeTV acquired the six-year exclusive platform broadcast rights for "Empresses in the Palace" for 20 million yuan, with each episode costing just over 200,000 yuan, which was considered an astonishingly high price in the industry in 2011!
Other popular dramas of the year only had exclusive broadcast rights for a few million yuan for six years.
Those exceeding ten million were extremely rare and had to be a phenomenal annual blockbuster like "Empresses in the Palace."
The main income still came from TV station broadcast rights.
However, "Empresses in the Palace" cost 80 million yuan for 76 episodes.
To sell it for 200 million yuan, the average copyright per episode would need to be 3 million yuan.
It's realistic that at three million yuan per episode, no satellite TV station in 2011 could afford it.
In 2006, the popular "My Own Swordsman" only cost 6,000 yuan per episode for satellite TV, that's right, 6,000 yuan, not 60,000.
The total online copyright was only 100,000 yuan, which was practically dirt cheap.
Currently, the price per episode for TV dramas has increased significantly, but it's still only a few hundred thousand per episode.
With 4+X distribution, four satellite TV stations sharing the 3 million yuan, it would be much easier for one station to buy an episode for less than a million.
In his previous life, when four satellite TV stations distributed "Empresses in the Palace," each station paid only 950,000 yuan per episode, totaling 3.8 million yuan per episode.
Local TV channels had even lower prices; after all, local stations had less advertising revenue, were poor, and with no limit on the number of channels, the unit price was only 100,000 yuan per episode.
Later, "4+X" became "one drama, two stars," where a drama could be broadcast on a maximum of two satellite TV stations simultaneously, and copyright prices soared.
For example, "Tiger Mom Cat Dad" in 2014, with two satellite TV stations combined, cost only 3 million yuan per episode, which was still considered cheap.
But in 2015, "The Legend of Miyue," with two satellite TV stations plus exclusive online broadcast, totaled 9 million yuan per episode!
In 2018, "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace," with two satellite TV stations plus exclusive online broadcast, totaled 14.5 million yuan per episode!
It can only be described as insane!
If Wang Yi didn't seize the opportunity of cheap copyrights now and act preemptively, he wouldn't be able to afford them in the future, simply unable to buy them.
Without copyrights, creating short videos in the 4G era, even editing and secondary creation, would lead to lawsuits.
Bilibili and Douyin were both jointly sued multiple times for this reason.
Editing and secondary creation all infringe on copyright!
Simply put, whether it's making smart TVs or short videos, film and television copyrights are the foundation and the core of competition among platforms.
Of course, the same applies to music copyrights.
In his previous life, how many users did NetEase Cloud Music lose without Jay Chou's copyrights?
Even giving away NetEase Cloud Music with 88 VIP membership was of little use; people still had to pay for Green Diamond.
It can be said that copyright is the foundation for future competition among giants.
Wang Yi made up his mind to immediately start planning for copyrights, buying and entering early!
Huashi Netju, established last year, specialized in P2P copyright transactions.
In his previous life, Huashi Netju acquired exclusive film and television copyrights from distributors, producers, and other organizations, then distributed them to video platforms, not only earning a fortune but also building a massive copyright library.
In 2015, it was acquired by Jiesheng Century for 3.2 billion yuan, becoming the leading giant in domestic film and television copyrights, with its share of theatrical films accounting for 70-80% of the market.
In 2022, the wealthy Tencent, for strategic development, spent 1.8 billion yuan to acquire over 6,000 film and television copyrights from Huashi Netju, crushing its competitors.
In the future, when ByteDance and Bilibili's existing film and television copyrights expire, they will all have to go to Tencent to renew!
The strategic significance of this is self-evident.
If Wang Yi doesn't want to be controlled by others, he must act now!
Just like Huashi Netju, he should take advantage of the current low copyright prices, invest heavily, frantically acquire copyrights, and build his own copyright library!
As long as the copyright library is well established, whether for Xingyi phones, tablets, TVs, or even future short videos, there will be endless copyright resources.
Similarly, if other platforms want them, they will have to buy distribution rights from Wang Yi and pay distribution fees annually!
Considering that copyright fees will only rise in the future, it's definitely a sure profit!
And the current "Empresses in the Palace" is the best target.
Director Zheng sighed:
"It's approaching the end of the year, Chinese New Year, and major satellite TV stations aren't lacking dramas and have no available slots. So 'Empresses in the Palace' can only be shown on local channels this year, and won't air on satellite TV until March next year!"
Director Zheng was a bit melancholic:
"Born at the wrong time!"
In his previous life, Wang Yi had wondered why such a popular show as "Empresses in the Palace" premiered on local channels and LeTV.com.
So that's how it is!
"Director Zheng, would you consider a one-time transfer of all copyrights for your 'Empresses in the Palace'?"
Wang Yi asked with a smile.
"One-time transfer?"
Director Zheng was stunned:
"Chairman Wang, weren't you here to discuss advertising sponsorship?"
"Oh, local channels have limited viewership, so advertising has little value."
Director Zheng nodded:
"That's true, local channels are confined to their local areas, other provinces can't see them, so they really have no value. CCTV and satellite TV are powerful because they cover the entire nation."
Just like Wang Yi's advertisements on Jizhou TV, not many other cities in the province watched them, and provinces outside couldn't even receive the channel.
It didn't make much sense.
"Chairman Wang wants to directly buy all copyrights for 'Empresses in the Palace'?"
Director Zheng was a bit incredulous.
"Indeed, I am very optimistic about 'Empresses in the Palace'."
"This..."
Director Zheng was a bit troubled:
"Chairman Wang, it's not that I'm reluctant to sell, but the copyrights for 'Empresses in the Palace' have mostly been sold already!"
Wang Yi: "..."
'Damn, still a step too late.'
"The first broadcast rights were sold to eight local stations, the first-round satellite TV rights were sold to four satellite TV stations, and even the six-year exclusive online rights were sold to LeTV."
Wang Yi fell silent: "..."
Still a step too late, but it's fine; at worst, he could find Mr. Jia and repurchase it at double the price.
LeTV bought it for 20 million, and Wang Yi would reclaim the six-year exclusive broadcast rights for 40 million!
Doubling the profit should not be a big problem.
After all, before its release, LeTV couldn't have imagined how popular this drama would become.
Even less could they imagine 20 million yuan in annual income ten years later.
Most likely, they would choose to transfer it to Wang Yi with a 20 million yuan premium.
Of course, Wang Yi would also have to secure the subsequent copyrights for "Empresses in the Palace"!
"So, 'Empresses in the Palace' only has copyrights remaining from after 2017, and overseas copyrights,"
Wang Yi frowned slightly:
"But it probably won't have much value after six years, and as for overseas, it's hard to sell; they won't understand it!"
"Yes, that's the problem!"
Director Zheng also spoke frankly:
"Chairman Wang, you came late."
"Sigh!"
Wang Yi sighed:
"Since I'm already here, I can't come for nothing. I'll buy out all remaining copyrights for 'Empresses in the Palace' for ten million, excluding those already transferred!"
"How much?"
Director Zheng was full of surprise.
"Director Zheng thinks it's too little?"
Wang Yi said with a smile.
"Not at all, not too little at all!"
Director Zheng understood perfectly.
The remaining copyrights had little value; the current six-year exclusive broadcast rights were only 20 million, and copyrights after six years would be even less valuable.
Whether overseas copyrights could be sold at all was a question.
Wang Yi buying everything for ten million, this price was too high!
It was simply a pleasant surprise.
"Chairman Wang, do you really want to buy it?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll contact the boss now."
"Director Zheng, please proceed."
Wang Yi smiled slightly, realizing that Director Zheng probably didn't have shares in Huar Film and Television, but was just an employee.
That makes things easier to discuss.
Since the six-year exclusive broadcast rights for "Empresses in the Palace" had been sold, acquiring Huar Film and Television would not be very meaningful.
But Director Zheng could collaborate.
For example, inviting Director Zheng to direct "Red Sorghum"!
This drama, like "Empresses in the Palace," had terrifying influence, viewership ratings, and money-making ability.
When acquiring copyrights earlier, Wang Yi had arranged for someone to find Mo Shen and purchase the rights.
Next year, filming can start directly, and after Mo Shen wins the Nobel Prize in Literature in October next year, it can be heavily promoted and then released during the Chinese New Year period!
With the blessing of the Nobel Prize in Literature, it is bound to be a huge hit!
At that time, Xingyi Video, with its self-produced drama "Red Sorghum," will make a fortune!
In his previous life, LeTV's most glorious period was first acquiring "Empresses in the Palace," and then filming "Red Sorghum" and "The Legend of Miyue"!
Walking aside, Director Zheng dialed Boss Cao's number:
"Boss, Chairman Wang of Xingyi Technology wants to acquire all copyrights for 'Empresses in the Palace'."
"Acquire all copyrights for 'Empresses in the Palace'?"
Boss Cao was also stunned:
"Didn't we sell all the copyrights we could?"
"Yes, he said he's optimistic about it and willing to acquire it."
"Alright, how much are they offering?"
"Ten million!"
"Sell it!"
Boss Cao beamed:
"Must sell, it's foolish not to make money when it's offered! We've already sold all marketable copyrights for 'Empresses in the Palace,' earning over three hundred million. What's left has little value. Chairman Wang is still willing to give ten million, it's a good deal!"
Boss Cao would never have imagined that even if all marketable copyrights were sold, "Empresses in the Palace" would still be very valuable.
It's just that they didn't know how to operate it; a limitation of the times.
Soon, Director Zheng walked back:
"Boss Cao has agreed to transfer all subsequent copyrights of 'Empresses in the Palace' to you for ten million!"
"Great, then I'll go to Dongyang tomorrow afternoon to sign the contract."
"No problem!"
Director Zheng hesitated:
"Chairman Wang, I..."
"Director Zheng, just say what's on your mind!"
Wang Yi said with a smile.
"Chairman Wang, I feel like you're losing money on this deal. Eight local channels, four satellite TV channels, and the six-year exclusive online copyright have all been sold to LeTV. There's really not much value left."
Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"I'm just optimistic about this work, or rather, optimistic about Director Zheng!"
"Optimistic about me!"
Director Zheng's expression was a bit complex,
'Could it be that Chairman Wang thinks highly of me, that's why he's doing this...'
"Director Zheng, I have a drama I'd like to invite you to direct. Do you have availability next year?"
Wang Yi got straight to the point.
Yes, I'm here to poach people!
In his previous life, Huar Film and Television's most popular dramas were all due to Director Zheng!
To put it plainly, Director Zheng was the core of Huar Film and Television.
If Director Zheng had shares in Huar, it would be difficult.
For Director Zheng, Wang Yi would probably have to invest several hundred million to acquire all of Huar Film and Television.
But Huar Film and Television never gave Director Zheng shares.
In his previous life, after LeTV acquired Huar Film and Television, they also didn't give Director Zheng shares, only an exclusive agreement from 2013-2019 that tied him down.
But now, Director Zheng isn't bound by any agreement, so it doesn't matter.
Huar Film and Television was originally a small company, entirely dependent on Director Zheng to helm several major dramas.
Poaching Director Zheng and buying the copyright for "Empresses in the Palace" would be equivalent to emptying Huar Film and Television.
There was no need to spend several hundred million more to acquire an empty shell company like Huar Film and Television.
"This..."
Director Zheng was a bit tempted, yet also hesitant.
After all, he had collaborated with Huar Film and Television for many years.
Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"Xingyi Pictures has just been established and holds many high-quality IP copyrights, including masterpieces comparable to 'Empresses in the Palace.' If you join, you will be the chief director of Xingyi Pictures. As for compensation..."
Wang Yi paused:
"Director Zheng, when you filmed 'Empresses in the Palace,' was your remuneration 200,000 yuan per episode?"
"Empresses in the Palace" had a total investment of 80 million yuan, with over 40 million for actors.
Of the remaining 30 million, after deducting production costs, he and the screenwriter split the rest, receiving about 10 million in total, less than 200,000 per episode.
Indeed, Director Zheng shook his head:
"Not that much."
"If you come to Xingyi Pictures, I'll give you 200,000 yuan per episode, plus a 5% share of profits within one year!"
Even ten years later, top directors would only command 300,000 yuan per episode.
Wang Yi's offer was very generous, so he wasn't afraid Director Zheng wouldn't be tempted.
"Really?"
Director Zheng was excited.
"Empresses in the Palace" sold for over 300 million, and after costs and taxes, the profit was 200 million.
But he only received about ten million, and nothing else.
If he were with Wang Yi, his remuneration would be 15.2 million, plus a 10 million profit share!
That's 25.2 million, 2.5 times what he got from Huar Film and Television!
More importantly, with a five percent profit share, he wouldn't be liable for losses but would take a share of profits if earned.
The more earned, the more he received.
It was absolutely amazing.
"Chairman Wang, I'll join!"
Zheng Xiaolong decided on the spot; missing such an opportunity would be a shame.
"Alright, in a few days, after completing the formalities, report to Xingyi Technology. We are preparing a new drama, with an investment of eighty million, no less than 'Empresses in the Palace'! As long as you give it your all, I guarantee you'll win so many awards you won't know what to do with them!"
Wang Yi said with a smile.
The classic status of "Red Sorghum" is not much inferior to "Empresses in the Palace," only the target audience is different.
Coupled with the buzz from the Nobel Prize in Literature next year, it would be difficult for it not to become explosively popular.
"Chairman Wang, rest assured, I will give it my all!"
The two had dinner that evening before parting ways.
As for the sponsorship advertisement?
It wasn't mentioned again.
Local satellite TV, no meaning.
It's better to discuss it after it airs on satellite TV next March.
With Director Zheng, Wang Yi gained a top-tier director!
Of course, there was also a screenwriter, his wife.
Definitely a buy one get one free deal.
Of course, this wasn't enough; he needed one more.
Since they were going to create a video platform, they needed to produce their own hit dramas.
However, "Red Sorghum" would have to wait until October next year, after Mo Shen won the Nobel Prize in Literature, before it could be released.
The earliest it could air on satellite TV would be early 2013, during the Chinese New Year slot.
Therefore, another drama would have to be launched next year, and that would be "Nirvana in Fire"!
Wang Yi decided to have Director Zheng film "Nirvana in Fire" in the first half of the year, and "Red Sorghum" in the second half!
The more capable, the more they work!
Two dramas, allowing Director Zheng to directly earn a whopping fifty million!
Of course, if Director Zheng couldn't handle it, he would focus on "Red Sorghum."
As for "Nirvana in Fire," at worst, they could poach Director Kong and let him use his original team!
If they could successfully reclaim the exclusive broadcast rights for "Empresses in the Palace," with three hit shows next year, Xingyi Video would have a continuous strong hand, and by acquiring more film and television copyrights to build a copyright library, it could directly join the ranks of first-tier platforms and compete with iQIYI, Youku, and Tencent Video.
That evening, Wang Yi returned to Lin Shu's home.
Seeing no one in the living room, Wang Yi slowly walked up the stairs, wanting to play a prank on Lin Shu.
He found Lin Shu sitting in the study, intently looking at her phone, so much so that she didn't notice Wang Yi walking up behind her.
Wang Yi covered Lin Shu's eyes:
"Guess who I am?"
"Oh, darling, you're back!"
Lin Shu then came to her senses, unable to help but say,
"I was so engrossed in reading a novel that I didn't notice."
"What novel are you reading that's so captivating?"
"'The Untamed'!"
Lin Shu said,
"It's a novel launched by your Meiyou Novels, and it's really good."
Wang Yi was speechless; he hadn't expected "The Untamed" to even win over Lin Shu.
"It's quite popular."
"It's not just generally popular, look, it has 300,000 favorites!"
"???"
Wang Yi was stunned:
"300,000 favorites?"
He had been busy leading the imaging algorithm department to develop beauty algorithms recently and hadn't paid attention to "The Untamed"'s data.
"It's only been half a month since its release, with 4,000 words updated daily, totaling just over 50,000 words, and it already has 300,000 favorites?"
Wang Yi was full of disbelief.
"Yes, it's really popular!"
Lin Shu smiled:
"Before, many people gave rewards and voted for the free chapters. Now that it's launched, the subscription data should also be very good."
Wang Yi opened his laptop, pulled up the backend data, and saw that it had just been launched today, and first-day subscriptions had already exceeded ten thousand...
This achievement can only be described as terrifying!
There was no way around it; it was originally an SSS-level blockbuster outline, coupled with Yu Wanwan's SSS-level writing, it was even possible to surpass the original work.
Furthermore, Wang Yi had promoted it in front of numerous media outlets; it would be strange if it weren't popular!
After it becomes popular for a while longer and breaks out of its niche, Meiyou APP's downloads will surge considerably, and Meiyou 4.0 can also be officially launched.
However, this book won't be finished until next year, so the anime can be produced next year first.
There's no way around it; Xingyi Video is just starting out and lacks resources everywhere.
Filming "Nirvana in Fire," the TV series becomes a huge hit.
Then producing an anime of "The Untamed," making it a huge hit in the ACG community!
This way it's secure.
Of course, the copyright acquisition needs to be expedited.
That night, Wang Yi listed some classic drama titles and gave them to Song Sining, asking him to arrange for people to acquire the copyrights.
For example, classic copyrights like "The North Landers" and "My Own Swordsman."
Those that can be bought out should be exclusively bought out directly; for those that cannot, a ten-year distribution copyright should be acquired first.
These old dramas have low resolution; they're okay now, but in ten years, the viewing experience will be poor, and fewer people will watch them.
But the price is also cheap.
In 2022, Tencent spent only 1.8 billion yuan to acquire exclusive copyrights for over 6,000 dramas.
Acquiring exclusive copyrights for 6,000 dramas now probably wouldn't even cost 500 million!
After all, a new drama like "Empresses in the Palace" only cost 20 million for six years of exclusive rights.
Old dramas are even less valuable.
Spending two or three hundred million to acquire copyrights would be enough!
Afterward, Wang Yi called Yang Yan again:
"Manager Yang, we're going to build our own video platform next!"
"Our own video platform!"
Yang Yan was excited, then understood Wang Yi's plan:
"Boss, in the future, we're going to make tablets and smart TVs, so we really need our own video platform. Otherwise, all the traffic and profit from this sector would have to be given to other platforms, and we'd still have to pay to buy content from them!"
"Yes, exactly."
Wang Yi and Yang Yan shared the same view:
"Building our own platform is troublesome and expensive initially, but in the long run, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Don't we have our own playback software at XUI? Take it out, recruit some people, establish a Xingyi Video department, and specialize in this area! If there are any content experts in this field, you can recommend them."
"Okay, Boss, I have resources in this area. I'll reach out and see."
"Good, thank you for your hard work."
A pleasant surprise.
Yang Yan previously served as a director at a top-tier design company in the industry.
His clients included major internet companies such as Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, Huawei, Motorola, Apple, Samsung, Sina, NetEase, Tudou, Youku, PPS...
As a director, he had many contacts and executives.
Whatever experts Wang Yi needed in any field, he could contact and recruit.
Zhu Changlin, the former HTC mobile hardware design project manager, was recommended by Yang Yan.
This time, to create Xingyi Video, Yang Yan could also recruit new talents for Wang Yi!
After a wonderful night's sleep with Lin Shu, Wang Yi flew straight to Nanhu the next morning.
Three hours later, Wang Yi arrived at Mango Headquarters.
"Chairman Wang, welcome, welcome!"
Director Zhang, accompanied by several senior executives, warmly welcomed Wang Yi.
His appearance was an opportunity to break the price suppression by O and V.
After some pleasantries, both parties smoothly signed the contract.
For a price of 300 million yuan, he secured the exclusive title sponsorship of "Happy Camp" for two years.
With such cooperation, Mango could earn significantly more, and Wang Yi could secure the "Happy Camp" title sponsorship for two years at a relatively suitable price.
It was a win-win situation.
Letting O and V fight over the remaining "Day Day Up" would be a bloody battle.
However, this had nothing to do with Wang Yi.
Two years of title sponsorship was enough.
As for the third year?
By then, Xingyi phones should no longer need to title sponsor variety shows, and might even launch their own hit variety shows!
"Chairman Wang, let's go, lunch is ready, a welcome banquet for you!"
Director Zhang said with a smile.
Such a big patron must be served well.
In the future, as there are more variety shows on the station, they will need such sugar daddies to pay.
"Then I shall respectfully obey,"
Wang Yi didn't refuse, and the group headed straight for the hotel.
Upon arrival, several hosts were already waiting in the private room and stood up, saying:
"Hello, Chairman Wang."
"Thank you, Chairman Wang, for sponsoring 'Happy Camp'!"
The price of 300 million yuan for two years was very appealing, and everyone was excited.
Wang Yi smiled, and a flattering remark slipped out:
"It's precisely because of you all that 'Happy Camp' is so enjoyable, and that's why I'm willing to sponsor it."
He absolutely wouldn't mention that it was for "Happy Camp"'s traffic, which could increase Xingyi phone sales by 5 million units!
As for people getting into trouble or anything similar, Wang Yi didn't care.
A businessman? Be straightforward.
Currently, the variety shows of these few people have traffic, which can help Xingyi phones sell an additional 15 billion yuan, and that's enough!
(End of chapter)
