02799 Cooperation
Mirror Lake Manor welcomed a guest.
"Hello Mr. Chen, I am the consul of the Sc Broadcasting Group, you can call me Skley."
SSC Broadcasting Group is not the top five radio media and television groups in the United States.
It can even be regarded as a small company, mainly operating a local TV station in California, with extremely limited playback coverage.
Of course, SSC still has a certain market share in the California area.
This also ensures that they will not starve to death.
Of course, this scale coverage and market share also destined that they are not living well.
Chen Zhao finally decided to SSC TV because SSC TV is enough.
Even if you look for five major TV stations, give them more money.
The answers they can give may not be better than those of STV.
And they communicate better.
Because some of the advertising of Dashan Beer is handed over to STV.
"Mr. Chen, I heard you have a business to talk to our TV station, right?" Skley asked.
“Can you make any decisions?”
"I am the consul. As long as the business we are discussing is not selling TV stations, I am qualified to make decisions."
"I would like to ask, do your TV station have plans to produce outdoor wilderness variety shows recently?" Chen Zhao asked.
"This, there is no such plan for the time being." Skley shook his head and said.
"So if I need you to create a program like this and broadcast it while producing it, how much does it cost?" Chen Zhao asked.
"Mr. Chen, this is not in our plan, it will affect our program broadcast plan..."
"I don't want to discuss this topic with you. I'm asking, how much does it cost?"
"Mr. Chen... I'm afraid we really can't cooperate."
When Skley stood up, Chen Zhao still looked at Skley calmly.
"The next quarter, Dashan Beer will be broadcasted by another TV station." Chen Zhao said indifferently.
Skley, who was about to leave, stopped moving and looked at Chen Zhao in shock.
"Mr. Chen, this may have a significant impact on the sales of Dashan Beer."
"Los Angeles is not just one TV station, and even if you look for any of the top five, it's just one or two million dollars more. In fact, Dashan Beer Advertising was broadcast on those TV stations. For me, it's just an increase in the advertising time." Chen Zhao said disapprovingly.
Here, you can really do whatever you want with money.
"In addition, your TV station owes Citibank money, and Citibank will start urging you next month."
For Chen Zhao now, there is no need to use other than conventional means to coerce STV.
In his eyes, SSC TV is a small group.
Even Chen Zhao just called his financial manager.
Sc TV stations will be subject to all-round oppression.
"Mr. Chen, there is no need to increase business cooperation to suppress it." Skley's face looked very ugly.
"I'm stating a fact." Chen Zhao shrugged: "Although the actions I mentioned later may not be really implemented, I just want to tell you that when necessary, you need to learn to compromise."
In fact, it is not difficult for Chen Zhao to buy STV.
However, as a Chinese, Chen Zhao wanted to buy a TV station, even if it was just a local TV station, he would still be intervened by the government.
Chen Zhao just wanted to produce and play a program, so there was no need to buy a TV station at such a big price.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, let's talk about the details of the cooperation." Skley sat in front of Chen Zhao again.
As Chen Zhao said, compromise is sometimes the best choice.
"First of all, let's talk about the production costs." Skley said: "What kind of wilderness program is Mr. Chen planning to produce? Survival? Exploration? Or Science and Educational?
Skley didn't ask why Chen Zhao wanted to make such a program.
Why do you have to play on TV?
This is the world of rich people.
Any weird idea is possible.
"All of these three categories are possible. Which type of programs has the largest audience?" Chen Zhao asked.
"Survival and exploration programs are currently the mainstream, with a large audience. In the past few years, our TV station has also thought about producing such programs, but due to the limitations of the TV station's coverage, investment and income are difficult to be proportional, so we gave up this idea."
"So how much does it cost to produce these two types of programs? Let's talk about a range."
"It depends on what level Mr. Chen intends to do. Hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars are also possible, millions or tens of millions of dollars are also possible. If the TV series is broadcast, whether the guests invited are amateurs or celebrities, or if you directly invite such professional teams, prices will fluctuate."
"Then I request the most sophisticated production and a professional team," said Chen Zhao.
"With excellent production, then the price will be five million US dollars as the base, and the price of a professional team is about one million US dollars. If it is a famous team, the price will double. At the same time, according to the number of episodes, the production cost of each episode will need to be increased by about one million US dollars."
Skley said again: "Will Mr. Chen disclose the specific content of the program?"
"Explore, search for and discover some lost monuments, which are not famous and scattered on the American continent, but have not been completely destroyed by modern civilization. We search for monuments through certain folk legends. There is such a small island in the Mexican waters, and the residents along the coast have legends about some monuments on this island. My request is that the first period is the content of this island and monuments."
Skley thought for a while: "Mr. Chen, your idea is pretty good. The process of exploration and decryption can indeed attract a lot of audiences, but this cost... With the influence of our TV station, it is difficult for this type of investment exploration program to directly recover the investment cost. Moreover, if we change our program broadcast plan, Mr. Chen also needs to give us some compensation."
"None of these are the problems, I just want to know, how much is the general investment?"
"How many episodes are Mr. Chen going to make?"
"Just make twelve episodes according to the regular standards." Chen Zhao said: "For the compensation to your TV station, five million US dollars plus the three-year advertising contract for Dashan Beer. In addition, the broadcast of the program is considered as the rental broadcast period, and it can be based on the normal charging standards."
Skley immediately laughed. He had known that Chen Zhao had taken such a generous move.
He didn't show so much tension just now.
"Of course, since I spend money on production and playback, the copyright belongs to me. In addition, I want 80% of the advertising revenue during that period, so there is no problem."
Chapter completed!
