Chapter 276: Reached cooperation, Xi Ba came to the door (Ch 276)

At 8pm, in the hotel,

“Hey hey hey, wow curry scold him to death…”

Maeda Tsuruko kept bowing and apologizing to the phone, and after a while, she hung up.

He shook the drunken minister vigorously.

“Minister, the vice president just called and asked about our progress in purchasing copyrights. He also said,

In order to obtain the broadcasting rights for “China in Classical Chinese”, representatives from Niconico have also set off to Shanghai and are expected to have arrived by now.”

When Xiaolin Xiang heard this, he sobered up instantly.

“What?! Contact Miss Chen and the others immediately. I will visit them again tomorrow morning.”

Maeda Tsuruko nodded, then hesitated for a moment before continuing,

“Minister, there is some bad news. Our desire to play the role of Emperor Wu of Han has become a hot topic.

The Chinese people were very opposed to this matter, and more Chinese people learned about this program through this hot search.

Now this show has started to become popular…”

After hearing what Maeda Tsuruko said, Xiaolin Sho could no longer hold back, so he grabbed the cup on the table and smashed it to the ground.

“Baga!”

Let me talk about two things.

When Qi Jia Studio’s rumor-refuting statement and the audio surveillance video at the door were released.

The rumors on the Internet that Qi Jia wanted to be a traitor and agreed to let a Japanese person play the role of Emperor Wu of Han were refuted.

Especially, the last sentence he said in the video,

“That’s my charming ancestor~”

After hearing this, countless netizens felt as if an electric current was flowing through their bodies, and they got goose bumps with excitement.

Everyone felt Qi Jia’s strong sense of national pride from his words.

Then, Chen Yuwen’s 100,000 navy troops were defeated.

Soon, netizens learned about the ill-fated fate of the variety show “China in Classics”.

And Qi Jia gave up more than 100 million yuan in licensing fees,

Everyone was moved and not only went to watch the show on their own initiative, but also asked people around them to watch it together. Compared with the few comments a month ago,

Now on any platform, as long as you open the barrage, you can see the full screen,

“It’s too late”

“Tears urge update”

“They are all my charming ancestors.”

Speeches of this kind filled the entire screen, and it was impossible to read them unless you closed it.

Then, various official accounts and celebrities reposted the video, further increasing the popularity of the variety show.

Up to now, the Chinese in the classics,

The effective number of feature film playbacks has exceeded 90 million times, and the effective market share of feature films is 3.7%.

It ranks 7th on the screen dominance list, followed by “Ace vs Ace 4” and ahead of it is “Chinese Restaurant 3”.

And as the number of effective broadcasts increases, the market share of Classics is still rising, and it won’t be long before it surpasses Chinese restaurants.

As the popularity of variety shows increases, major advertisers have also begun to come to the door one after another.

But Qi Jia doesn’t need to worry about this, as Chen Yuwen and the others will handle it.

The next morning, Qi Jia was discussing the selection of advertisers and title sponsors with Chen Yuwen in the studio.

At this time, the girl at the front desk knocked on the door with a strange look on her face.

“Brother Qi and Sister Yuwen, there are four Japanese people outside.”

Qi Jia??? Chen Yuwen???

The two of them entered the meeting room together.

First, I nodded to the two NHK representatives whom I had met before.

Then he looked at the two new Sakura girls in confusion. They were obviously much younger than the NHK representatives.

Seeing Qi Jia looking over, the two bowed first, and then a girl who looked like a leader spoke up,

“Hello Mr. Qi, I am the representative of Niconico Animation, Futaba Sakura, and this is my colleague, Nakamori Muzi.”

Niconico? Qi Jia looked at Chen Yuwen with some doubt.

“It’s similar to our country’s Station A and Station B, the largest online video platform in Japan.” Chen Yuwen explained to him in a low voice.

A two-dimensional company, no wonder it’s so young. Qi Jia smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking hands with the two of them.

I was just thinking, how could two people from different companies bump into each other by chance? How embarrassing!

Chen Yuwen had obviously thought of this question, and after the two exchanged glances,

She politely invited the Niconico representatives to another meeting room, leaving Qi Jia to continue talking with the NHK people.

After the other party left, Xiaolin Xiangyi’s tense face finally relaxed. He smiled bitterly and shook his head and said,

“Mr. Qi, what a great method! It only took one day to bring your program back to life.”

Maeda Tsuruko translated on the side, and Qi Jia smiled.

“It’s not that I’m good at what I do, but that we are united among ourselves.”

Now the offense and defense have changed, Qi Jia didn’t waste any words and went straight to the point, stating his attitude that all the actors must be Chinese.

If you agree, then talk about it. If you don’t agree, go out, turn left and go downstairs.

Kobayashi Shoichi had obviously reached a consensus with the company and no longer requested to play the role of Emperor Wu of Han. He simply nodded his head like pounding garlic.

“No problem, Mr. Qi. Everything is up to you. The price per episode is 10 million. 60% is paid in advance.

The balance will be paid within a week after the show ends. Do you think we can sign the contract now?”

“No, no, no,” Qi Jia shook his head. “Mr. Xiaolin, you are wrong. It is not 10 million per episode. It should be 15 million per episode.”

After listening to the translation, Xiaolin Xiang’s face turned pale. He wiped the sweat from his palms on his trousers and said with a tangled expression,

“Mr. Qi, you must have misunderstood. 15 million is the price you agreed to pay for our people to play Emperor Wu of Han.”

Qi Jia tapped the tabletop twice with his slender fingers, smiling.

“I didn’t misunderstand you, you misunderstood. What I said yesterday was indeed 10 million.

But you also said that the show has been revived? So, it’s worth 15 million now.”

The words were casual, but there was an air of self-righteousness in the tone, which made Maeda Tsuruko’s heart tremble, and she hurriedly translated it as it was.

Xiao Lin Xiangyi’s forehead was covered with sweat. He took a deep breath, trying to keep his brain clear, and said solemnly,

“Mr. Qi, this price is beyond our ability to afford. Please reconsider it.

Please also believe that the help that NHK can provide you in Japan will definitely be greater than 5 million.”

Qi Jia raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of thought in his eyes.

What the other party said is right, but not entirely right. NHK’s help will indeed play a big role in his works entering Japanese theaters in the future.

However, the promise cannot be written into the contract. Even if it is written, what can you do to the other party if he doesn’t help?

The promise is not a commercial act, and it is a cross-border contract. Should I really sue him?

Qi Jia weighed all the pros and cons in his mind. After about a minute or two, he seemed to have made up his mind. The corners of his mouth slightly raised.

“Mr. Xiaolin, you have successfully convinced me, but 10 million does not meet my current psychological expectations.

I’ll give you a number, a flat price, 13.5 million per episode.”

After listening to the translation, Xiaolin Xiang smiled bitterly, apologized to Qi Jia, and went out to call the headquarters to apply.

Qi Jia also took this opportunity to call Chen Yuwen out, and the two sides communicated.

After learning that Niconico’s price was 16.45 million per episode, Chen Yuwen nodded after listening to Qi Jia’s idea.

“Officially speaking, NHK is much stronger than Niconico, so I think we can agree to it.”

“Then you handle it here and then come over. Seeing NHK’s eager attitude, they will accept it.”

After the two exchanged their opinions, they returned to the meeting room.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Lin Xiangyi and the other man also came back. Judging from the relaxed expressions on their faces, things should be as Qi Jia guessed.

Sure enough, he stretched out his hand and said to Qi Jia with a smile,

“Mr. Qi, we agree to purchase the broadcast rights of “China in the Classics” in Japan at a price of 13.5 million per episode.”

“It’s a pleasure to work with you.” Qi Jia also stood up and shook hands with him with a smile.

After the price is agreed upon, the next step is to sign the contract smoothly. The templates are ready-made.

Chen Yuwen came in with the legal department, and after modifying some details on the spot, the two parties formally signed the contract.

Qi Jia was in a good mood as he was about to receive 148.5 million yuan. He asked the girl at the front desk to arrange afternoon tea.

Special note: don’t be polite, just pick the expensive ones, and the studio will immediately burst into cheers.

After a while, the girl at the front desk knocked on Chen Yuwen’s office door and walked in.

Qi Jia thought she was here to ask him for reimbursement, but unexpectedly the girl said,

“Brother Qi, Sister Yuwen, there is a Xiba person outside”

Qi Jia’s eyes lit up, thinking that today was a really good day, money was coming to him.

“Oh, are you here to buy copyrights again? Come in quickly,”

The girl at the front desk stood still, her face flushed, and said,

“He said that ‘China in Classical Chinese’ plagiarized the traditional culture of Xiba and asked us to make a public apology and remove the program from the Internet.”

“Brother Qi, do you still want to invite him in?”

Qi Jia’s smile froze, and he waved his hand impatiently, as if to drive away the bad luck.

“Fork it out!”

(I update twice a day, and I feel embarrassed to ask for tips. Can I ask the audience to urge me to update? It’s too hard for the children˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅)
