Chapter 1364 Negotiation (2)
After explaining a little, he proved that he was not a person who was greedy and was very greedy, Kim Yu-fan leaned helplessly on the chair and began to think about Xia Chen'an and the other two, what attitude is towards the "Voice of China" and whether he wants to do it.
At least from the current attitude of Xia Chen'an and the other five, the five represent Zhejiang Satellite TV. It is obvious that Zhejiang Satellite TV is still very interested in the program "The Voice of China" and still wants to do it.
It’s just that I can’t determine whether “The Voice of China” can succeed, even if it is successful, I have no idea how successful it can be, so I’m still hesitant now.
Thinking of this, Kim Yu-fan couldn't help feeling helpless. There was nothing I could do about it. If the Korean agency had not believed in the trainees he had trained since childhood, he was not very interested in talent shows such as "The Voice of China". Kim Yu-fan had already cooperated with Korean TV stations, so why bother to come to China and cooperate with Zhejiang Satellite TV?
More importantly, this type of program has never appeared before. Therefore, if you have never seen the specific program process, you can't see many things just by relying on the literal meaning.
Because of this, Xia Chen'an and the other two have always been very worried about "The Voice of China". They are not sure whether "The Voice of China" can succeed, whether Chinese audiences will like it, or accept programs like "The Voice of China".
After all, this is an investment of 80 million yuan. Once the failure is made, even if the five people have a good status on Zhejiang Satellite TV, once the program fails, the 80 million yuan capital will be wasted. At that time, the price will be borne by Xia Chen'an and the other five people. Although the status of the five people is not low, it will definitely be a big deal to bear this price.
Especially if such a large amount of money is ultimately failing to produce a program, it will also become huge news in the industry and attract everyone's attention. In this way, it basically means that everyone knows this. It will probably be difficult for the five people to do big production programs and planning in the future, because this failure is the biggest disadvantage. Everyone will not trust the five people easily, or even say they are completely distrustful.
Therefore, this time, "The Voice of China" is also a huge challenge for Xia Chen'an and the other five. "The Voice of China" is successful, and the five will naturally rise. Whether it is its status within Zhejiang Satellite TV or its status and influence in the industry, it will be greatly improved, and it will be of great help to the future career and path of the five.
But once "The Voice of China" fails and 80 million yuan of funds is wasted, it will almost seriously affect the future path for the five people. To put it seriously, that is, Xia Chen'an and the other five are betting on their future. Whether the program "The Voice of China" is successful or not, so it is not an exaggeration to be cautious.
Of course, Kim Yu-fan knew this, so Kim Yu-fan didn't say anything about Xia Chen-an and the other two who were very cautious. After all, it was too big to bet on his future and future, and it would not be an exaggeration to be cautious.
Otherwise, with Kim Yu-fan's personality and temper, I kindly give you a chance and come to work with you. I want to make both sides win-win, and to put it bluntly, you will get more benefits from Zhejiang Satellite TV. At least Kim Yu-fan will only make more money personally, but now Kim Yu-fan is not short of money, so it doesn't matter.
But once Zhejiang Satellite TV has "The Voice of China", once it succeeds, it will have its own brand of influence, which will be of great help to Zhejiang Satellite TV's influence and various aspects of improvement, so Zhejiang Satellite TV will take a big advantage.
In this case, Zhejiang Satellite TV is still hesitating. If it weren’t for knowing that such things are more cautious, Kim Yu-fan would also understand the caution and concerns of Xia Chen'an and the other two, so he didn’t say anything.
Otherwise, I will give you my own benefits, and you are still so cautious, as if you are afraid that I will come over and deliberately harm you. That's OK, since you are worried, then my buddy will leave. This will never harm you. As for you, don't regret it in the future.
Now Xia Chen'an and the other two are very cautious, and Kim Yu-fan is also very depressed. He wants to leave Zhejiang Satellite TV and find a new partner. However, Mango TV is probably not very interested, and other local satellite TV stations probably have no interest, especially the production fee of 80 million yuan, so they are probably even less interested.
Just when Kim Yu-hwan was still depressed, Xia Chen-an and the other two appeared in sight again. It was obvious that the five had just discussed it, and now there was a decision and result, which made Kim Yu-hwan cheer up.
The five people who sat down opposite Kim Yu-fan were finally spoken by Xia Chen'an: "We just discussed it. In view of your situation, we decided to change the way of interest. I don't know if you accept it."
Kim Yu-fan nodded and said with a smile: "Yeah, please say it."
Xia Chenan: "That's right. We plan to provide you with a fee of 5 million. As the fee for you to serve as a mentor of "The Voice of China" this time. Of course, we also know that the fee of 5 million will definitely be very low, but because of limited funds, there is nothing we can do about it. Although the fee for this mentor is low, we decided to compensate you for the total revenue of the program."
After looking at Kim Yu-hwan, she found that Kim Yu-hwan still looked smiling and had no reaction. Xia Chen-an couldn't help but sigh in secret, knowing that although Kim Yu-hwan was young, she was definitely not an easy person to deal with.
If you think about it carefully, it is true. If Kim Yu-hwan was such an easy person to deal with, then Kim Yu-hwan would not have come to this day. He also created an MC company in one song. Thinking about the journey Kim Yu-hwan has gone through in the past ten years, basically every step is a sigh, every step is moving, and it can definitely be called a miracle road.
Now that the two sides have started negotiations on interests, Kim Yu-hwan naturally became Xia Chen'an's "enemy". Feeling that although Kim Yu-hwan is young, it is difficult to deal with, Xia Chen-hwan couldn't help but talk in his heart, but on the surface he still spoke calmly.
"Originally, we only needed 10% of the total revenue of the program according to your previous requirements. At present, I think we can change the profit distribution method, that is, your production team contributes half of the funds, that is, 40 million yuan, and then enjoys 50% of the total revenue of the "Voice of China" program. Of course, as for your personal interest income, it is also calculated in this 30%. Although both of us contribute the same amount of money, considering that our Zhejiang Satellite TV wants to contribute more efforts to this program, we must also occupy more interests."
"In our plan, we originally planned to give you 25% of the benefits, but considering that if you serve as the mentor of "The Voice of China", it is very important to all aspects of the program, especially your understanding of the program, and you can better grasp the process of the program, this is very critical for a brand new program like "The Voice of China". So your hard work is 5 million, plus the additional 5% of the profit distribution. In short, by then, 30% of the total revenue of the Voice of China program will be your team, and the remaining 5% belongs to you personally. What do you think?"
Xia Chen'an's words immediately made Kim Yu-fan happy. It was obvious that the other party was also worried that the show would fail, and he could not bear the price of the failure of the show and the huge funds were wasted. Now he was asking his team to spend half of the funds to reduce the risk of failure.
Even if it fails, it will only lose half of it. Loss of 40 million and 80 million are completely different levels. It is estimated that the loss is 40 million, which Xia Chen'an and others can bear.
Once you make a profit, the benefits are not even half the share. Among them, Kim Yu-hwan's team can only obtain 30% of the benefits, or even 25% of the benefits. The remaining 5% of the benefits are given to Kim Yu-hwan himself, saying the expenses of being a mentor, but Kim Yu-hwan's chorus cannot be seen, and this also has the temptation of his own interests.
Look, your entire team contributes people and efforts, and you still have to spend 40 million yuan in funds, and in the end you only get 25% of the benefits, and you can get 5% of the benefits personally. How about it, we are good to you, since you are good enough, don’t hesitate and agree quickly.
Well, for a moment, Kim Yu-fan didn't know what Xia Chen'an was thinking. Don't you know that this team is also his own. Most of the money earned by the team will go into his own pocket, rather than the entire team is evenly divided.
Well~~Yes, there is indeed a team behind Kim Yu-fan, and a production team belonging to MC.
Because of Kim Yu-hwan's talent in the variety show field, he has constantly planned many classic variety shows. Over time, he also needs a production team that belongs entirely to his own, so that it can be convenient and maximized benefits.
At present, Kim Yu-fan is discussing the program "The Voice of China" with Zhejiang Satellite TV. Kim Yu-fan came with his own production team and unceremoniously squeezed away the original production team Chan-sung production, preparing to maximize its profits.
After a while of silence, Kim Yu-fan said: "It must be increased by 5%. Although Zhejiang Satellite TV has released the venue and has a lot of manpower and material resources. But it is not easy for us. We have allocated the money equally, and we have also produced people. We even have to serve as teachers for your Zhejiang Satellite TV staff, so as to make you familiar with all the processes of the program as quickly as possible, and you can complete the recording of the program separately. In general, Zhejiang Satellite TV has one more venue than us. Of course, you cannot say that, so I asked for an increase of 5%, rather than a 50% equal interest. This is not an exaggeration."
After hearing Kim Yu-fan's words, Xia Chen'an nodded and said, "Then you will do our previous request. You will invest 40 million yuan. At the same time, your production team will do their best to help our staff, so that our staff can familiarize themselves with the program process as early as possible, and can record the program independently as soon as possible. At the same time, you also promise to participate in "The Voice of China" and serve as one of the mentors."
After seeing Kim Yu-fan nodding, Xia Chenan looked at Jin Lei and the other four, and finally nodded and said, "No problem, 35% is OK, we will sign the contract right now."
"Wait!" Kim Yu-fan interrupted Xia Chen'an, who was still trying to say something, and said seriously: "I have a few more requests."
Xia Chenan: "You said!"
"First of all, this profit distribution, no matter what the final result is, will continue to be based on this profit distribution. In short, as long as Zhejiang Satellite TV continues to produce "The Voice of China", no matter how many episodes it has been produced, we will invest half of the funds, but we must enjoy a 35% profit distribution."
Kim Yu-fan looked at Xia Chen'an: "Although I am very confident in the program I planned, as the saying goes, there will be unexpected situations. If the program fails, we have invested 40 million yuan and we will also suffer huge losses. Then again, since we are willing to take risks, we may fail on our backs and will cause us to lose huge risks. Then, once the program is successful, we must also enjoy the benefits we have won."
"If "The Voice of China" is a big success, the advertising expenses will make the program earn 100 million, or even 200 million. If you make too much, you will have to share 35% for us. You will feel that we have made a lot of money and are unbalanced. You will think about reducing our profit distribution in the next season, which is absolutely not allowed."
Kim Yu-fan looked at the five people and said with a serious expression: "We can take any risks with you. Then, once we succeed, we should naturally get the benefits we deserve. What is the amount, we are not greedy, but you must not give it to you less."
Xia Chenan frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't worry, if the show is really successful, it will earn 100 million or 200 million, this is all the credit for everyone. Since you promised to give it to you now, you will give it to you at that time, and you will definitely not be missing. Besides, no matter how much we say, Zhejiang Satellite TV, will such a big TV station still cheat?"
"I don't doubt Zhejiang Satellite TV's intentions, but when it comes to business, especially in terms of interests, this matter must be made clear and must not be careless. What I mean is very simple. Our production team can bear half of the production cost of the program, but in the future, as long as Zhejiang Satellite TV continues to record "The Voice of China", no matter how many seasons, our production team must enjoy 35% of the benefits, no matter how much, whether it is a loss or a profit, this is the principle and must be written clearly."
"OK, this is no problem." Xia Chenan thought about it carefully, then communicated with Wang Jun and others with his eyes, and after receiving the support of the four, he nodded and agreed readily.
Kim Yu-fan nodded and continued: "At the same time, the production cost of each season of "The Voice of China" should be limited to 100 million yuan. Because this program was planned by me, just as you thought it was a lot of 80 million yuan. Similarly, I also know that a production cost of 100 million yuan for a program like "The Voice of China" is enough. Even with the influence of "The Voice of China" coming out, the reputation has come out, and the popularity has been high. At that time, you can save a lot of publicity, and the production cost will be lower."
"I don't want to encounter that Zhejiang Satellite TV will increase the production costs of the program and use the excuse of better and better programs to ask us to increase the investment in production costs. We are worried that we will be swallowed up by you. If we don't invest, you can reduce our profit sharing at that time. These are absolutely not allowed. I have also said that with the "Voice of China", once the model is successful, with influence and popularity, the publicity costs can be saved a large part of it. The production costs will be reduced at that time. It is estimated that it will be difficult to exceed 80 million more, unless you invite big-name singers as mentors, the artist's value is too high, but there is a limit, up to 100 million yuan."
"Well~~~ Of course, if you invite the top international superstars in Europe and the United States to serve as guests, your value will definitely be higher in US dollars, but the question is, is it suitable, do you understand Chinese, and do you understand enough culture and music? Is it meaningful?" Kim Yu-fan shrugged and said carelessly.
"All these are written into the contract and written clearly, so there is no problem with me. I am willing to join "The Voice of China" and become a mentor of "The Voice of China". And I promise that I will not be perfunctory to everyone at that time, and will do my best to record every episode of the program, carefully guide every student, and help them improve their singing skills."
"OK, no problem!" This time, Xia Chen'an answered very readily. After Kim Yu-fan finished speaking, he was silent for a few seconds. After thinking about Kim Yu-fan's words, he found that there was no problem or pitfall. At the same time, Wang Jun and the other two found nothing, otherwise they would not have reminded themselves. So Xia Chen'an nodded happily to agree.
In this matter, the two parties have reached an agreement temporarily. As for the specific contract, the staff and lawyers of both parties will have to negotiate and sign the contract later. But no matter what, the two parties have reached an agreement now, which has also made the originally somewhat depressed atmosphere in the conference room disappear without a trace, and the air seems to have become active all of a sudden.
"By the way Yufan, this time, our Zhejiang Satellite TV, which division of labor is needed for the program team here? Uh~~~~ It is just that if you want to record "The Voice of China", how many divisions of labor does the entire team need, and how many people do each division of labor require?"
"Haha, there are too many of this. You must know that in my planning, programs like "The Voice of China" must at least have more than 60 different divisions of labor."
Speaking of this, Kim Yu-fan smiled and shook his head. There was no way. Programs like "The Voice of China" really require too much division of labor and employees. Initially, it is estimated that at least hundreds of employees are required.
In fact, large indoor programs like "The Voice of China" require no less manpower, that is, the number of staff in the program team, than the number of staff in the outdoor variety show.
