Rebirth of the God of Comics

Zhang Xiong, the director of Mango TV, is the planner who promoted the transformation of Mango TV from an ordinary provincial TV to the No. 1 satellite TV in the mainland.

After he joined Mango TV more than 20 years ago, with his courage, contacts, vision, etc., he set a precedent for Chinese entertainment. With the simple conditions and funds of Mango TV at that time, he created many popular entertainment programs all over the country.

"Happy Camp", "Chinese Singer", "Everyday Upward", and many other well-known programs are all planned and run by him.

It can be said that it is because of him that Mango TV can become the overlord of the top ratings list. Without him, until now, Mango TV would be nothing more than an ordinary provincial satellite TV station.

Therefore, Chen Ze was somewhat curious and in awe of such a legendary director.

He had also seen photos of Zhang Xiong, and he didn't look like a legendary director at all, but just an ordinary fifty-year-old man in China.

Originally, Chen Ze thought that this might be due to the photos. Some people are not photogenic by nature, and Zhang Xiong probably is that kind of person.

As a result, when he pushed open the door of the director's office and went in, he found that Zhang Xiong was no different from an ordinary person. Ordinary looks, temperament is also quite popular.

"Is this the man who single-handedly created the mango era of Huaxia TV?" Chen Ze was a little puzzled, it was far from what he expected.

"Hello, Chen Ze." When Chen Ze was wondering, Zhang Xiong smiled. He was standing at the desk, obviously waiting for Chen Ze.

"Hello, Director Zhang." Chen Ze suppressed some doubts in his heart, walked over, and greeted Zhang Xiong.

"Please sit down." Zhang Xiong asked Chen Ze to sit across from him, sat down himself, and then went straight to the point: "I heard that Chen Ze's two animations "Initial D" and "Soul of Chess" animation adaptations are about to be completed." gone?"

"That's right." Chen Ze nodded. Zhang Xiong's first words made Chen Ze feel that he was indeed the legendary director of Mango TV.

He went straight to the point when he opened his mouth, and there was no time-wasting sloppy words such as polite words. It was obvious that he should be the kind of vigorous and decisive person. Only such a person can lead Mango Terrace to where it is today.

"Well, our station hopes to buy out the broadcast copyright of your two animations. The time is three years. I hope we can reach this cooperation." Zhang Xiong said.

Buyout of the entire broadcast copyright? three years?

Chen Ze was a little surprised,

What this means is that not only the premiere, but also that these two animations of my own will only be broadcast on their Mango Channel within three years.

This kind of broadcast copyright buyout is expensive. Especially Chen Ze's two very popular comics. The price of animation copyright is even sky-high.

"This!" Chen Ze didn't expect Zhang Xiong's handwriting to be so big. In order to consolidate his position as the boss of Mango TV, he actually thought of this kind of cooperation with himself.

For a while, Chen Ze really didn't think about what price to offer.

"How about this. We hope to buy the exclusive domestic broadcasting rights for three years, and the price is 500 Huaxia coins per second." Seeing that Chen Ze didn't speak, Zhang Xiong opened his mouth and quoted the price in his mind.

Five hundred yuan per second, that is to say, about 700,000 yuan per episode. Judging from my two dramas, I can probably earn more than 70 million yuan.

Then deduct the cost of nearly 20 million that I invested in the early stage. There are more than 50 million profits. This return is already quite high.

After listening to Zhang Xiong's words, Chen Ze made some calculations in his heart, and the rewards can be said to be quite generous.

However, Chen Ze remembered the bet he made with Li Yuntian about the ratings in "Slam Dunk", and his heart moved, and he said, "Five hundred yuan per second is indeed a considerable number. However, it is not the same as I imagined." There is still a gap."

There is still a gap?

Zhang Xiong was also taken aback, this is five hundred yuan a second. In the entire history of Chinese animation, it is also a rare super high price. Throughout China, animation companies are like crucian carp in the river, but few people have ever gotten this price.

Even if the ratings of "Slam Dunk" broke 15%, when Li Yuntian was cooperating with Provincial G TV Station. It's just barely enough for the price.

At Chen Ze's age, Chen Ze is the only one who can afford this price.

"Then Chen Ze, tell me what price you want." Zhang Xiong said, he is very optimistic about Chen Ze's two animations, and believes that even if they can't reach the height of "Slam Dunk", they will be popular all over the country. animation.

Such two animations are inevitable for the current Mango Channel.

"I want to use the ratings as a benchmark and sign a gambling agreement." Chen Ze said.

His "Slam Dunk" was a gambling agreement signed with Li Yuntian, and the ratings soared all the way, eventually surpassing 15%. For the manga adaptation fee alone, Chen Ze received 20 million yuan.

After tasting the sweetness, he of course fell in love with this kind of gambling agreement. After all, in his previous life, he knew what amazing effects his animation would have.

"Gambling agreement?" Zhang Xiong was taken aback.

"Yes, the gambling agreement." Chen Ze smiled, "If neither of my two animations breaks 10%, then I won't charge any money for these two animations, and I will give you three years of exclusive broadcasts on Mango Channel time."

"And if one part breaks by 10%, then I need 50 million in total. If one part breaks by 15%, then double that, and I want 100 million. If it breaks by 20%, then I want 200 million." .”

Chen Ze told Zhang Xiong what he was thinking in his heart, and Zhang Xiong was also a vigorous and resolute person, and when he heard such a large number, he also felt dizzy for a while.

Now the ratings of animation are much worse than before, basically stable between 6% and 7%, and rarely breaking 10%.

And Chen Ze just said that if it is less than 10%, he will not take a penny. This is a bit too courageous. Could it be that he is so confident in his own animation?

Chen Ze was really confident, and after a thorough consideration, he proposed such an agreement.

In his previous life, the ratings of these two films were quite good, especially "Soul of Go", which was among the top few in the history of Japanese animation ratings, ranking among the top.

Chen Ze sold two films to Zhang Xiong in a package, but he said that only one of them would break the ratings, so it seemed difficult, but in fact it was basically a steady profit.

Looking at the confident Chen Ze, Zhang Xiong thought of the grand ratings created by his "Slam Dunk" and the popularity of these two comics, and felt that it was impossible for him to be below 10%.

But the price I just offered was 500 yuan per second, which is already more expensive than the 50 million that Chen Ze said was less than 15%.

Since this is the case, it means that only if one of these two films breaks the ratings of 15%, can it be higher than the price I offered.

An animation that breaks 15% is simply something that can be encountered but not sought after. It takes a few years or even ten years for a super popular animation to appear. With the popularity of "Slam Dunk", it just broke 15%.

This Chen Ze, is he really so confident?

"Okay, then I'll make a bet with you. I've signed the agreement." Zhang Xiong said, this agreement is actually not harmful to him or Mango Terrace.

If you don't break 15%, then you have saved a lot of money. And if it breaks 15%, even if it costs 100 million, so what? For such a super popular animation, 100 million yuan is exchanged for three years of exclusive rights, and I am not losing money.

"Okay then, Director Zhang, that's all for our contract. I hope we can have a happy cooperation this time."

Chen Ze smiled and said that he also lamented that Zhang Xiong really acted vigorously and resolutely. After hearing his proposal, he thought about it for less than two minutes and agreed.

This was a deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and the speed of agreeing to it so quickly was beyond Chen Ze's expectations.

"This deal, we can just settle it, but I still have one condition." When Chen Ze was happy, Zhang Xiong suddenly said again.

"What conditions?" Chen Ze asked.

"We hope that you can cooperate with Alan to participate in our singing session of "Huaxia Singer" this week as a guest." Zhang Xiong smiled and said a condition that surprised Chen Ze.
