“Oh, so tell me, how far did it go?”
Jiang Xu, in truth, didn’t want to know at all.
However, he knew this woman, even if he said he didn’t want to know, she would still speak.
Because when she began speaking, she conveniently locked the car door.
Zhou Qingyue steadily looked at Jiang Xu, “Don’t worry, he didn’t even touch a finger of mine.
In this lifetime, I only love you.”
Jiang Xu: “We will never happen.”
Zhou Qingyue was unaffected: “It’s too early to talk about this, we are still young, the future holds infinite possibilities.”
Jiang Xu didn’t continue that topic, he only told Zhou Qingyue a date.
In a month, the novel could be finished.
The most challenging part of this type of novel is the ensemble cast, the character profiles for various characters are hard to create.
First establish the character profiles, then proceed with the creation, it simplifies things greatly.
In terms of word count, it will only be two to three hundred thousand words.
There’s no need to be like internet novels that run into millions of words.
After discussing, Jiang Xu left.
Zhou Qingyue watched Jiang Xu’s retreating figure, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Finally, she let out a self-deprecating laugh, “Ha! I told myself a thousand times over to get my revenge on this man.
However, every time I see him, the hatred I’ve slowly accumulated vanishes instantly.
“Zhou Qingyue, oh Zhou Qingyue, you really are useless.”
The banquet ended after 10pm.
Then Wang Xiaoyuan invited everyone to sing.
She and Chen Xueyi were invited by Jiang Xu to a recently opened VIP room on the upper floor.
An Nuonuo, Wang Xiaoyuan, and Zhou Qingyue were talking on the first floor. “You say you want to buy one-third of the company’s TV drama broadcast rights?”
Upon hearing Jiang Xu’s words, Chen Xueyi and Liu Yue were quite surprised. “You, do you have some inside information?” Liu Yue asked.
She knew Jiang Xu.
No advantages are gained without hard work.
Since he wanted to buy the internet broadcast rights, he definitely believed he could make a lot of money from it.
“No, you’re thinking too much.” Jiang Xu shrugged his hands and began to bluff:
“You all know I have an online novel platform, and I plan to use this as a foundation in the future.
To branch out into comics, animation, TV dramas, and audiobook companies. Once the entire industry chain is completed, it will go public.
Producing our own TV dramas is too time-consuming and costly,
But this step is indispensable.
So, I thought about buying some internet broadcasting rights to gift glossiness. Anyway, this is cheap, as for TV drama broadcasting rights, I couldn’t afford them.”
After a blustering excuse, he successfully fooled the two shareholders. Primarily, no one was paying attention to internet rights at the moment.
After a while, it would enter an era of fierce competition of the video industry.
By then, internet broadcast rights for TV dramas would become extremely valuable.
For example, the subsequent shooting of the 87 episodes of “Ruyi Royal Love in the Palace”.
The exclusive internet broadcasting rights sold for a terrifying 810 million yuan.
On average, single episode rights exceeded 9 million yuan!
For instance, the total bid for “Zhen Huan Zhuan” from four provincial TV stations was less than 4 million yuan.
But by the time of “The Legend of Mi Yue”, the price had reached an absurd 360 million yuan.
This was the result of several fights leading to soaring copyright prices. Afterward, Jiang Xu showed the table he wrote to the two of them.
From Xinghe Entertainment, Jiang Xu planned to buy more than ninety dramas.
Based on the performance, shooting era, the price ranged from one hundred thousand to five hundred thousand per drama.
If this was a few years later, it would indeed be considered a bargain.
In total, it was twelve million yuan.
Liu Yue and Chen Xueyi exchanged glances.
This price was quite attractive in their eyes.
The two of their shares combined were over fifty percent, enough to make all the decisions of the company.
Considering that they needed to cooperate with Jiang Xu in the future, they agreed.
Liu Yue called the company’s legal team.
After reviewing the contract and finding no issues, both parties signed and stamped it.
Then they also signed a contract with Wang Xiaoyuan.
Wang Xiaoyuan was more straightforward.
After listening to Jiang Xu, she signed without saying a word.
Moreover, she reduced the price by ten percent based on Jiang Xu’s original quote.
She understood gratitude.
In total, they secured broadcasting rights for one hundred sixty-five dramas from both companies.
The total expenditure was 19 million yuan.
Instantly, Jiang Xu only had a little over 80 million yuan left in his hands.
The dramas he now held would bring him a tremendous return in not too long. Around 2005, several video websites such as SomeBean, SomeCool, SomePlay, StormSomeSound, CoolSix, , PPS, Six Rooms… hundreds of large and small video websites came online.
You can say they gathered a multitude of talents.
But it won’t be long before they become a battlefield, fighting each other viciously.
In order to compete for users, each major video website will spend a large amount of money to buy all sorts of copyrights.
Originally neglected internet broadcast rights would suddenly fetch an exorbitant price.
By then, Jiang Xu only needed to lie back and collect money.
At least, the TV drama internet broadcast rights in his hand now could be sold at more than ten times the price.
Jiang Xu was in high spirits.
Then he placed both hands on An Nuonuo’s neck.
The girl instantly let out a scream and shrank her neck.
In the middle of winter, being suddenly attacked, naturally An Nuonuo couldn’t take it.
Watching her resentful gaze, Jiang Xu chuckled, “It’s winter and I’m wearing a lot, you can’t bite me, and you can’t pinch the meat around my waist.”
An Nuonuo still had a killer move.
She reached into her pocket to grab her phone, but found it was missing. “Looking for this?”
Like a magician, Jiang Xu dangled An Nuonuo’s phone in front of her.
“I knew you wanted to summon Lord Chen Yue, sorry, this time I interrupted your spell.”
However, Jiang Xu had underestimated An Nuonuo.
She looked at him with watery eyes and spoke in a soft and sweet tone, “Brother- can I bite your arm, please?”
Critical hit!
A very critical hit!
Jiang Xu exclaimed his heart couldn’t take it.
Who could reject a cute girl’s coquettish request like that?
Without a second word, Jiang Xu rolled up his sleeves, “Come on, don’t be shy.” An Nuonuo chuckled.
She didn’t really bite, but wanted to go back.
There were great gains tonight, a free fancy meal, first prize, and three contracts.
Yes.
Once he got back, Jiang Xu planned to reward himself.
Of course, it was a deserved reward.
After they got home and freshened up, they each went to sleep.
The next day, Jiang Xu began writing the character profiles and outline for the palace drama.
The name was tentatively set as “Palace Life”.
He spent five days finishing it.
By this time, An Feng brought Jiang Xu some good news….
