Chapter 233 The highest bid is 6 million!
Everyone present today is looking forward to seeing Liliyuan.
Upon hearing this, not only did the live stream chat explode with messages asking to see Li Li Yuan Shang, but the representatives from the more than twenty entertainment companies present also chimed in, agreeing to wait for Li Li Yuan Shang herself to appear before making a formal offer.
“Offer a direct quote,” Long Yuan said from Dafeng Entertainment.
He was determined to acquire the copyright to "The Ambition of Qingyun".
As for who the original author is, or whether they came or not, he doesn't care!
Chairman Yu immediately nodded, "Yes, Young Master Long."
After saying that, he gave his secretary a wink.
Chairman Yu's secretary immediately announced loudly, "Our Dafeng Entertainment plans to acquire the rights to 'The Legend of Chusen' using a guaranteed minimum of 15 million RMB plus a 1.5% global box office revenue share, and promises to jointly develop a mobile game and animation."
There was an uproar.
"How...how are we supposed to play this?! They just threw out 1.5 million right off the bat!"
"Looks like I've come all this way for nothing."
Representatives from other entertainment companies looked conflicted.
Few companies can match Dafeng Entertainment's generosity.
They originally planned to promise Lili Yuanshang that they would spend the money wisely, carefully polish the script, and impress Lili Yuanshang with their sincerity in production.
Faced with exorbitant copyright fees, which author would choose mere verbal sincerity?
Upon hearing Dafeng Entertainment's offer, Secretary Xiao Yang was frantic. 1.5 million? How could Xingguang Entertainment possibly afford that!
When Jiang Xing was still in charge, the pricing proposal was prepared by Zheng Zegang, the former manager of the business department, and the highest price was fifty million!
But unfortunately, the new General Manager Jiang wasn't here, and Secretary Xiao Yang could only worry helplessly.
Zheng Zegang looked smugly at his secretary, Xiao Yang, and deliberately asked, "Secretary Yang, what's your Starlight Entertainment's offer? It can't be only fifty million, can it?"
"Even your new General Manager Jiang doesn't dare to show up, so you're the one putting on a show. Considering we were colleagues before, I advise you not to embarrass yourself here. You should pack your bags and run away."
Secretary Xiao Yang looked embarrassed and didn't know how to refute.
Luo Yutong clenched her fists, stood up resolutely, and said, "I think I'm more suitable to play the female lead in 'The Ambition of Qingyun' than Yu Linglong from your company. Lili Yuan is a talented writer, and I think that besides earning more money, she would definitely want her work to be filmed and presented to the audience in a more perfect way!"
Viewers watching the live stream:
[Damn, you know what, this woman really does look a lot like Jiang Yunxian!]
[But 1.5 million! Which writer could refuse such a huge sum of money!]
[Even the legendary Li Liyuan is no exception!]
[Unsurprisingly, the copyright for "The Ambition of Qingyun" was directly acquired by Dafeng Entertainment.]
[Ugh, this is boring, there's not a single one who can fight!]
Just when Secretary Yang thought the bidding was hopeless, her phone rang.
Seeing that it was Jiang Youli's number, she quickly answered and said anxiously, "President Jiang, you should have seen it by now, the situation is not good..."
Jiang Youli interrupted: "I know, don't rush, just quote 2.5 million directly, and the other conditions are the same as Dafeng Entertainment."
"Huh?!" Secretary Xiao Yang blinked in bewilderment and repeated, "2.5 million? Mr. Jiang, you must be joking with me at a time like this."
"I'm not joking. Just report it, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Youli's voice was firm, and she hung up the phone after giving her instructions.
Secretary Xiao Yang took out her phone, glanced at the representatives of the other twenty-four entertainment companies present, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to go all out.
She raised her hand and said nervously, "Starlight Entertainment, offer 2.5 million, other conditions are the same as Dafeng Entertainment."
The whole place was in an uproar again.
2.5 million?!
That's a full 100 million higher than Dafeng Entertainment's offer!
Crazy!
Zheng Zegang stood up and loudly mocked, "What a joke, Secretary Yang! Does your Starlight Entertainment even have that much money? Could it be that your new General Manager Jiang has told you to spout nonsense here?"
When Zheng Zegang questioned her on the spot, Secretary Xiao Yang didn't have the confidence to respond. However, Luo Yutong spoke up: "A dog's eyes will only look down on people."
"you……"
Just as Zheng Ze was about to lash out, Long Yuan coldly interrupted him: "Sit down."
Zheng Zegang shivered and immediately sat down obediently.
Chairman Yu cast a pleading look at Long Yuan, "Young Master Long, if Starlight Entertainment really offers 2.5 million, we..."
The previous announcement that Dafeng Entertainment would spend 300 million yuan to acquire the copyright of "The Legend of Chusen" was just a marketing ploy; Chairman Yu had no intention of actually spending that much money!
This time the price is 1.5 million, and Longyuan has promised to contribute half of it!
Otherwise, he would have spent a maximum of 80 million to acquire it!
“Just call it three hundred million,” Long Yuan added coldly. “The rest will be covered by my Long family.”
Having received Long Yuan's promise, Chairman Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."
The secretary understood immediately and continued with the offer: "Dafeng Entertainment raises the price to 3 million, with all other conditions remaining unchanged."
Other entertainment companies simply declined.
Okay, so I'm just here to play a supporting role at this meet-and-greet.
They're not that extravagant to spend 3 million yuan to buy the copyright to a novel.
Some small entertainment companies come here hoping to find a bargain.
One of these companies spent 3000 million yuan to buy the copyright to a science fiction novel a long time ago. Two years later, that science fiction novel suddenly won an international award and became a huge hit in China.
The company made a fortune!
However, with Dafeng Entertainment now offering 3 million yuan, these smaller entertainment companies have completely given up on the idea of finding a bargain.
"Three hundred million... there's really no hope now." Secretary Xiao Yang had completely lost faith.
Luo Yutong said, "I believe in President Jiang."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Jiang Youli's crisp voice came from the second floor: "Starlight Entertainment, 5 million."
This time, not only Chairman Yu and Zheng Zegang, but even Long Yuan's face darkened.
He hesitated.
Faced with the figure of five hundred million, Long Yuan had to think carefully: Was Jiang Youli trying to provoke him and make him a sucker?!
Just then, Jiang Youli's mocking voice came from the second floor above: "Why isn't Young Master Long continuing to compete with me? If that's all the courage you have, you even dared to threaten to punish Starlight Entertainment? No wonder you can only be second best compared to my fiancé Huanhuan."
Upon hearing this, Long Yuan's forehead veins bulged, and this time he personally spoke up: "Dafeng Entertainment, 6 million!"
Crazy crazy!
The other authors watching the live stream were green with envy! Which writer doesn't want to write a novel, sell it for a hefty royalties, and live a life free from financial worries?
Has inflation really reached this point?
[No, it's just that the class divide is too huge! A rich person's 600 million is probably about the same as my 60,000!]
Long Yuan looked up at Jiang Youli, who was standing in front of the second-floor railing, and said coldly, "Jiang Youli, if you're so capable, then keep raising the price!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Youli smiled and shrugged, "I won't add any more."
Chairman Yu breathed a sigh of relief. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he quickly said to Sister Lan, the host on stage, "Alright, bring Lili Yuan out immediately and sign the copyright sales agreement with Dafeng Entertainment!"
What a bargain for Liliyuan!
Just because Young Master Long wanted to deal with Jiang Youli, this author inexplicably won 600 million!
"Who said you could buy the copyright to 'The Ambition of Qingyun' for 6 million?" Jiang Youli propped herself up on the railing and slowly walked down from the second floor amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd.
[Thanks to General Tang, who loves red artemisia, for the update reminder!]
