Chapter 468: Legend of the Condor Heroes! Another Masterpiece!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After talking to the television station, Lin Fan saw old acquaintances from Tencent Arts and iQiyi.
These two video companies were also the most popular video websites on the Internet.
Their users and traffic had already reached a terrifying scale.
Other than the hard work of these two video websites, there was also Lin Fan.
It was because Lin Fan had filmed so many good television dramas that these two video websites could attract a large number of fans and reach today.
!!
“Hello, Boss Lin,” the manager of Tencent Arts said with a smile.
“Hello, we’re all old acquaintances. There’s no need to be so polite.” Lin Fan smiled.
“Boss Lin, I won’t stand on ceremony. I’m here to discuss the collaboration between ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes’ and ‘The Legend of Condor Heroes’ with you,” the iQiyi manager said.
They were both managers of two video websites. In order to work with Lin Fan, they had personally come here.
“Muqing, pour a cup of tea for the two managers,” said Lin Fan.
“Alright.” Su Muqing walked in with three cups of tea. She placed one cup of tea in front of Lin Fan and gave the other two cups of tea to the two managers.
After tasting the tea, they started the main topic.
Lin Fan said, “Managers, we’ve already worked together so many times. In the past, I would look for the television station alone or the video website to work with. Today, the format of cooperation has to change. It will be broadcasted on the television station first and the video website will update at the same time. Do you understand?”
The managers of Tencent Arts and iQiyi nodded. Although such a collaboration model was novel, it had been adopted before.
Lin Fan said, “The copyright price of a television drama is 200 million, and it only lasts for two years. The copyright price of the two television dramas is 400 million. You can see if you can accept it. Of course, the copyright fee can be discussed another two years later.”
In other words, if Tencent Arts and iQiyi wanted to buy the broadcasting rights for these two television dramas, each television drama would have to pay 100 million a year.
This price could be said to be quite high.
The managers of Tencent Arts and iQiyi shook their heads and did not object.
They could still accept this price.
Lin Fan continued, “Other than that, Jiaxing Entertainment will take 20% of the advertising fees that Tencent Arts and iQiyi inject into these two television dramas. Is that okay?”
Advertising fees were also one of the ways video websites earned money.
After attracting a large number of users, there would be advertisers who were willing to invest and could earn huge profits.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Lin Fan anymore. What Lin Fan wanted to do was to get 20% of the advertising fee.
Hearing Lin Fan’s conditions, the manager of Tencent Arts hesitated.
After all, 20% of the advertising fee was not cheap.
If Lin Fan’s two television dramas failed, they would lose money.
If the television series failed, there would be no advertisers to insert advertisements. At that time, the price would be much lower. Tencent Arts and iQiyi might not be able to recoup their costs.
The manager of Tencent Arts said, “Boss Lin, the collaboration model you gave is very novel, but it’s not that we can’t accept 20% of the advertising fee. However, there’s a prerequisite. The viewership of these two television dramas has to reach at least one-third of that of the Legend of Sword and Fairy.”
The iQiyi manager nodded as well.
They also wanted to work with Lin Fan but had to ensure that the company wouldn’t lose money.
When Lin Fan heard that, he nodded. “Sure. I can promise you that these two television dramas might not be able to surpass Immortal Sword, but they will become the peak of Chinese martial arts television dramas. Their viewership ratings and views will definitely not be low.”
This was Lin Fan’s confidence.
Especially in The Legend of Condor Heroes, Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu were the main leads. There were also big celebrities like Lin Kexin, Su Xiaoyu, and Xu Yang.
As for the Condor Heroes, they had a beauty like Su Muqing as the female lead and many capable actors.
The managers of Tencent Arts and iQiyi did not think about it anymore and signed the contract.
“Boss Lin, happy working with you. I hope your television drama will become popular!” the manager of Tencent Arts said with a smile.
“Boss Lin, nice working with you!” The manager of iQiyi also smiled.
“Pleasure doing business with you.” Lin Fan shook their hands.
Not long after signing the contract, Jiaxing Entertainment received a few transfers.
[Your bank account ending in 3827 received 400,000,000 yuan from iQiyi.]
[Your bank account ending in 3827 received 400,000,000 yuan from Tencent Arts.]
[Your bank account ending in 3827 received 1,200,000,000 yuan from Zhejiang Television.]
In total, two billion had been transferred to his account!
The two billion yuan entered Jiaxing Entertainment’s account.
It was no different from entering Lin Fan’s account.
Then, Lin Fan received a reminder from the system.
[Ding… Master has filmed three movies. The labor cost is: 130 million.]
[Automatic return and critical strike successful. The critical strike multiplier is three times. Congratulations Master for obtaining 390 million.]
[You received a transfer of 390,000,000 yuan (Construction Bank)]
Lin Fan received another transfer from the bank. However, this time, it was from Lin Fan’s private account.
When filming a television drama or movie, as long as one paid the labor cost and some props cost, they could receive a huge rebate. However, the remuneration did not belong to this rule.
If he forced himself to increase the cost too much, it would exceed the system’s rules, and he would not be able to obtain any returns.
This was also the reason why Lin Fan increased the basic salary of celebrities. The basic salary would be calculated as human labor costs, but the remuneration wouldn’t be calculated.
However, because the settlement was once every four months, the basic salary for four months was not much no matter how many artistes were added up.
No matter what, he had earned nearly 400 million yuan. Now, Lin Fan had already earned so much money before the television dramas and movies were released.
Now, he could only be described as rich!
He was completely rich!
Even if he abandoned the production costs and salary, Lin Fan could still earn two billion!
This was only the beginning. If the movies and television dramas were released, he would probably be able to earn more than this!
Three days later.
“The Legend of Condor Heroes” was officially broadcasted on Zhejiang Television’s prime-time slot!
iQiyi and Tencent Arts followed.
The audience realized that Lin Fan’s movie ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ had already been scheduled for the Spring Festival!
This time, the entire Internet was in an uproar.
At 20.00 pm on Friday, many viewers were waiting beside the television.
“Ah ah ah, I heard that ‘The Legend of Condor Heroes’ was directed by Lin Fan. It was even a script written by Lin Fan. Even the main lead was Lin Fan. The female lead was Xia Wanqiu. I’m looking forward to this television drama too much!”
“Yeah, I’m looking forward to it too. This television drama will definitely be very good.”
“When has Lin Fan’s television drama not been good? Besides being a big boss, he’s also a top screenwriter and director!”
