Chapter 2798 Cooperation

Mirror Lake Manor welcomes a guest.

"Hello Mr. Chen, I am the CEO of SC Broadcasting Group. You can call me Shikley."

SC Broadcasting Group is not one of the top five radio media and television groups in the United States.

It can only be considered a small company. It mainly operates a local TV station in California, and its broadcast coverage is extremely limited.

Of course, SC TV still has a certain market share in California.

This also ensured that they would not starve to death.

Of course, such scale of coverage and market share doomed them to not live well.

Chen Zhao finally decided on SC TV station because SC TV station was enough.

Even if it means finding the five major TV stations, give them more money.

The answers they can give may not be better than SC TV.

And they communicate better, too.

Because part of Dashan Beer’s advertising is handed over to SC TV station.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that you have business to discuss with our TV station, right?" Shikley asked.

"Can you make any decisions?"

"I am the consul, and as long as the business we are discussing is not selling the TV station, I am qualified to make decisions."

"I would like to ask, does your TV station have any plans to produce an outdoor wilderness variety show recently?" Chen Zhao asked.

"Well, I don't have this plan for the time being." Shikley shook his head and said.

"So if I need you to produce a program like this and broadcast it while producing it, how much will it cost?" Chen Zhao asked.

"Mr. Chen, this is not in our plan. This 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 Shikli stood up, Chen Zhao still looked at Shikli calmly.

"Dashan Beer will change its advertising to a different TV station next quarter," Chen Zhao said calmly.

Shikley, who was about to leave, stopped and looked at Chen Zhao in shock.

"Mr. Chen, I'm afraid this will have a big impact on the sales of Dashan Beer."

"SC is not the only TV station in Los Angeles, and even if you go to any of the five major TV stations, it will only cost an extra one to two million US dollars. In fact, the Dashan Beer advertisement was already broadcast on those TV stations. To me, "It's just to increase the advertising time," Chen Zhao said disapprovingly.

Here, if you have money, you can really do whatever you want.

"In addition, Citibank will also start collecting money from you next month for the money your TV station owes to Citibank."

For Chen Zhao now, there is no need to use other than conventional means to coerce SC TV.

In his eyes, SC TV station is a clique.

Even Chen Zhao only needs to call his financial housekeeper.

SC TV station will be oppressed in all directions.

"Mr. Chen, there is no need for business cooperation to escalate to commercial suppression." Shikley looked very ugly.

"I am stating a fact." Chen Zhao shrugged: "Although the actions I mentioned later may not actually be implemented, I just want to tell you that you need to learn to compromise when necessary."

In fact, it would not be difficult for Chen Zhao to buy SC TV station.

However, as a Chinese, if Chen Zhao wants to purchase a TV station, even if it is just a local TV station, he will still be subject to government intervention.

And Chen Zhao just wanted to produce and broadcast a program, so there was no need to spend so much money to buy a TV station.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, let's talk about the details of cooperation." Shikley sat down 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." Schkeli said: "What kind of wilderness type program does Mr. Chen plan to produce? Survival type? Or exploration type? Or science and education type program?"

Shikley didn't ask why Chen Zhao produced such a program.

And why does it have to be broadcast on TV stations?

This is the world of rich people.

Any weird ideas are possible.

"All three categories are acceptable. Which type of program 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. However, due to the limited coverage of the TV station, it is difficult to directly proportion the investment and income. So I gave up the idea.”

"So how much does it cost to produce these two types of programs? Give me a range."

"It all depends on what level Mr. Chen plans to make. It could be hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, or millions or tens of millions of dollars. It depends on whether the drama series and the invited guests are amateurs or celebrities, or whether they are celebrities. If you directly invite this type of professional team, there will be price fluctuations. ”

"Then I require the most sophisticated production and a professional team." Chen Zhao said.

"For sophisticated production, the price will start at five million US dollars. The price of a professional team will be around one million US dollars. If it is that kind of famous team, the price will double. At the same time, calculated based on the number of episodes, each episode The production cost will increase by about one million US dollars.”

Shikley added: "Mr. Chen, could you please reveal the specific content of the program?"

"Exploration type, looking for and discovering some forgotten ancient ruins, the kind that are not well-known and spread all over the American continent, but have not been completely destroyed by modern civilization. Find ancient ruins through some folklore, and in the waters of Mexico There is such a small island, and the residents along the coast have legends about some ancient ruins on this island. My request is that the first issue should be about this island and the ancient ruins. "

Shikley thought for a while: "Mr. Chen, your idea is not bad. The process of exploration and decryption can indeed attract a lot of audiences, but the cost... With the influence of our TV station, an exploration program with this scale of investment It is difficult to directly recover the investment cost, and if we change our program broadcast plan, Mr. Chen also needs to give us certain compensation.”

"These are not questions. I just want to know how much investment is required?"

"How many episodes does Mr. Chen plan to produce?"

"Just make twelve episodes according to the normal standards." Chen Zhao said: "As for the compensation for your TV station, five million US dollars plus a three-year advertising contract for Dashan Beer. In addition, the broadcast of the program will be regarded as my rental of broadcast time. Just follow the normal charging standards.”

Shikli suddenly laughed. He had known that Chen Zhao would be so generous.

He wouldn't have acted so tense just now.

"Of course, since I spent money to produce and broadcast it, the copyright belongs to me. In addition, I want 80% of the advertising revenue during that period, no problem."

"Of course, of course no problem."
