The strongest brain in entertainment

Chapter 162
At the dinner table, Li Fan and Lu Kang chatted in detail.

As a referrer, Xiaoxiao is acquaintances on both sides, and when the mission is completed, she stays by her side without saying a word.

Zhile Community is a new type of knowledge payment website. This business model is very novel and bold in Huaguo. However, Li Fan is not too optimistic. At least the early stage will be very difficult. Even if it does achieve something, it must not be It happens overnight, especially the current platform is still very simple, the content is too single, there is a very long way to go.

However, Li Fan is very interested in this forward-looking business model, and has the urge to get involved.

Like many leaders, Lu Kang also painted a big picture for Li Fan, describing the vision of future success, why he will become the largest elite community in Huaguo, and he will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange in a few years.

Li Fan was very calm and watched him bragging quietly.

Lu Kang blew for a while, and found that Li Fan was not infected by his passionate emotions, so he lost his interest. Could it be that the performance failed?I relied on this method to fool me into investing, ah, no, it impresses investors!

"Xiaofan, our current marketing strategy is to select 30 elite representatives from all walks of life to focus on packaging. Among the 30, we hope to have 10 celebrities with certain social popularity and network traffic to come Support the facade of 'Zhi Le', so we are willing to provide you with 0.5% of the shares."

Li Fan asked, "What do I need to do?"

"First, regularly interact with netizens in the community, and select representative questions for knowledge answering. Second, when the company has activities, attend them, especially for external publicity."

Li Fan shook his head and said, "Brother Kang, there are too few shares. I guess your platform will be successful if it doesn't lose money by the end of this year?"

"How is it possible? If we don't make money, someone will invest in us? Haha!" Lu Kang hid his guilty conscience with a loud laugh.

Li Fandao: "Brother Kang, don't mind if I tell you the truth. I think the innovative model of 'Zhile' is very good, but it is too niche. Without a few years of operation and development, it is difficult to improve, and The market is narrow. After all, paid content has just started in China, and the current payment models for movies, TV, and music have not been fully accepted by netizens, not to mention that our knowledge payment platform is already very partial. Moreover, I think, we' Chiraku' is also constantly groping forward, right?"

Lu Kang lit a cigarette and started puffing it up. The question he was thinking was, why didn't his rhetoric work on this child?He squinted his eyes at Li Fan, continued to listen to him, and carefully observed every detail of Li Fan, hoping to learn more about this son of the whole people who is called a cultural idol by the public.

There are daughters-in-law of all people, husbands of all people, daughters of all people, mothers-in-law of all people, etc., but there has never been a son of all people, but in the past few days, "son of all people" has finally come online, and this crown has successfully fallen on Li Fan's head.

The son of the whole people, as the name suggests, everyone hopes to have such a son, but Li Fan is depressed, so you can take advantage of it!

Li Fan continued: "Besides, I personally think that there is almost no market for knowledge payment, and it is not easy to cultivate in the early stage. However, the future is bright. I have no objection to joining your platform, but, 0.5 shares, what are you doing?" Let me work in vain for the first few years?"

"Then what do you want, talk about your demands." Lu Kang no longer regarded Li Fan as a high school student.

Li Fan said: "Wait a minute, my manager is coming."

"broker?"

"Ah? When did you have an economic man?"

Xiaoxiao and Lu Kang looked at Li Fan together.

Li Fan smiled and said nothing. When he just went to the toilet, he thought of joining 'Zhi Le' as an endorsement. Zhi Le's behavior was nothing more than finding a few social celebrities with certain knowledge to stand for his platform. In fact, it is no different from endorsement.This kind of behavior of negotiating prices is somewhat inconvenient for me to boast about myself, and besides, I am really an amateur in this area.

So, he hung up on Liu Shishi and asked if Sister Jiang was in the capital and borrowed it.

After 10 minutes, Li Fan went downstairs to pick up Sister Jiang, and he briefly explained his attitude and demands to Sister Jiang outside, and Sister Jiang made an OK gesture and said, "Your Sister Jiang is doing this. , OK."

Back in the private room, Sister Jiang and Mr. Lu shook hands and greeted each other. After being seated, Sister Jiang went straight to the point and said, "I almost understand the specific situation. Tell us what the highest treatment Mr. Lu can give us."

"0.5% of the shares." Mr. Lu said.

"Gone?"

"Uh... gone!"

Sister Jiang frowned and said: "This is absolutely not possible, we want 5% of the shares."

puff!Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Mr. Lu choked, the lion opened his mouth.

Xiaoxiao had a cold war, it was too ruthless.

Mr. Lu smiled and said: "You are really joking, we will provide the same shares to 10 celebrities, everyone is 0.5, why give you 5, you are just kidding!"

Sister Jiang said: "First of all, if you are a social celebrity who is willing to join you, a platform that is currently in trial operation and has an unfavorable future, I guess there is no one else except us Li Fan, or let's take a look at it later! , we don’t need shares, just pay 100 million endorsement fees for two years, and we’re done with real money!”

Mr. Lu sprayed again, leaned back on the chair, sneered a little, and said, "Sister, you dare to make an offer, don't you? If I have this money, how about I just ask a celebrity to endorse it?"

Sister Jiang snorted coldly, and said: "Then you go and invite them! These days, even a small celebrity starts with an endorsement fee of 200 million per two years. How about we quote 100 million per two years? 50 per year, this is a It’s just the annual salary of the company’s executives.”

Thinking of this, Sister Jiang looked at Li Fan, and said, "Li Fan, I think you underestimated the commercial value behind you." Sister Jiang said to Lu Kang, "So, our new quotation, 200 million / Two years of endorsement fees, or 8% of the shares!"

Mr. Lu was a little confused, "Are you still raising the price of the seat? Why?"

"Why?" Sister Jiang tilted Li Fan's chin, "Just because of this face! And let me tell you frankly, the step-by-step learning machine has asked us to endorse."

Li Fan was secretly happy, Sister Jiang is really good at deceiving!
Mr. Lu corrected: "We are joining, not endorsement."

"Heh, it's just a name change, isn't the content the same?"

"I can't accept your conditions at all. We are just a small start-up company and cannot support a big Buddha."

Sister Jiang teased: "Mr. Lu can't accept this? Now even the franchise fee for an Internet celebrity to switch to a live broadcast platform can easily be several million or even tens of millions. Can Mr. Lu accept it? This is a new era, it is a money Not the age of money."

Sister Jiang continued: "Actually, our quotation is already very low. Let's not talk about anything else. In Huaguo, for any variety show, the single-term labor service of second-tier stars is basically 50 yuan."

The era of entertainment blowout is indeed an era where money is not money. Sister Jiang is right, but Mr. Lu has no money. Mr. Lu thinks every day how to use "dreams" and "future" to fool a few celebrities into the platform , how willing to pay a big price?

The two sides couldn't reach an agreement at all, and in the end they could only let it go temporarily.

Walk out of the hotel and say goodbye to everyone.

"Xiaoxiao, there's no need to send it off, Xiaofan and I still have something to do."

"Okay, drive slowly." Xiaoxiao understood. After seeing Li Fan take Sister Jiang's car and drive away, she said to Lu Kang: "I told you, be more generous. I didn't expect you to be so picky. You are completely You’re a white wolf with empty gloves! Are you asking people to work for you in vain?”

"I gave 0.5 of the shares, and he will issue them after the company goes public."

Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes at him, "Then what if your company goes bankrupt? Can't you actually give me 80 in cash?"

"How can the company have money? Besides, it's just a small high school student."

Xiaoxiao lowered her face and said: "Your words are too offensive. Do you know how big the market behind Li Fan is? Do you know the concept of cultural idols? In the entertainment industry, there are countless representative stars, one of the kings and queens. There are a lot of fans, no matter how many fans there are. But in the circle of cultural idols, Li Fan is the only one, do you understand what I mean?"

"Xiaoxiao, keep talking."

"Now Li Fan's commercial value is basically in the untapped stage. Once his commercial potential is unfrozen, it will be difficult to find Li Fan to join."

"You're talking a little too mysteriously. Just a champion of the Idiom Contest, with several world records in hand, isn't it possible!"

Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh, "What about Xiao Xianrou? How many Xiao Xianrou have good works? Isn't it still popular? What's more, they have reached the pinnacle of life after filming a web drama. What's in it? As for Li Fan, there is no one who is more popular than him in the cultural circle."

Lu Kang nodded, "You are right, I still underestimated him."

Xiaoxiao said: "The most important point is also the most vulgar point, personal image! Li Fan's personal image is too prominent, and the honors Li Fan has won may be nothing to other people, but it falls on Li Fan, who is stunning. On the head of the handsome guy, this honor will be more radiant. Didn’t Sister Jiang talk about the BUBUSH learning machine just now? If the two BUBUSHI learning machines have your and Li Fan’s headshots on them respectively, you said that the students would buy it. Which model? Let’s not talk about social popularity, but just talk about appearance.”

Mr. Lu rubbed his cheek and said, "Xiaoxiao, your 'what if' is very hurtful!"

Xiaoxiao spread her shoulders and said: "No way, this is an era of looking at faces! You can say it's superficial or meaningless, but it's the truth! Li Fan just doesn't plan to make a movie, otherwise, believe it or not, many directors are rushing to ask for it. ?”

……

The example Xiaoxiao gave was currently being discussed in the Propaganda Department of Bubusheng Headquarters, and the meeting was held overnight.

Manager Zhang knocked on the table and said with certainty: "We want to sign Li Fan. He is a good match in the market. He has a wide social recognition and a good reputation. Most importantly, he has an excellent personal image. Such a cultural idol recognized by the whole people. , which is completely in line with the market positioning of our step-by-step learning machine."

Editor Lin added: "And, I think, if we succeed in signing Li Fan, it may not be worse than other learning machine brands signing big-name stars, and it is relatively cheap!"

Director Sun said: "I think it's okay, let's discuss an endorsement contract, and then talk to Li Fan."

Manager Zhang said: "Well, let's talk to Li Fan first and explain our intentions."

Bubusheng actually planned to ask Feifei Sun to be the spokesperson, but Sun Feifei's offer was simply unbearable for Bubusheng. A new train of thought.

With Bu Bu Sheng's current strength, it is true that he does not have the strength to sign two or three big names for endorsements at once like the other two giants in the market. Bu Bu Sheng then thought about it and Li Fan was obviously very suitable for endorsing student products. Product positioning, why not win by chance?

When Sun Feifei put down Bubusheng's boss's phone call, she and Liu Shishi beside her looked at each other and smiled. The two knew that Li Fan's career was about to take off.

……

Outside the car window, the lights are bright!
The heavy smog has gradually thinned out recently, and the night view of the capital is bustling.

Sister Jiang said while driving: "As you wish, the successful negotiation has collapsed."

Li Fan looked at the high-rise buildings outside the window and said: "It's impossible to succeed. They are a new company, and it is when the economy is tight, and they can't afford much money at all. Besides, Mr. Lu intends to sign so many people. Of course, I guess There are not many people who are hooked. After a few months, it is estimated that more shares will be given.”

"Are you optimistic about them? In the era of paid knowledge, I think it's a bit ridiculous."

"In the short term, it's a bit ridiculous and very difficult. I glanced at the platform, and the content is too single, and there is a long way to go."

Sister Jiang listened to a 17-year-old kid talking about business, and she felt amused, and said: "I still have the previous opinion, what kind of shares do you want, just ask for money, 200 million for two years, a cent is not a lot, I still look at it Their company is too small, so they quoted cheaply!"

Li Fan shook his head: "I'm not worth so much money."

Sister Jiang pursed her lips and said sullenly, "Tell me what's on your mind, boy!"

"Well, I think I'm worth that much money!"

Sister Jiang said: "That's right! Now a five or six-year-old kid from a star family spends two to three hundred thousand yuan on endorsements, and a little fresh meat dares to charge tens of millions or even hundreds of millions for a movie. In this day and age, one million is called Money? If you can’t get 30 million yuan a year based on your current social awareness and your own conditions, it will be a joke in the industry. Oh, by the way, what is your bottom line for the ever-increasing advertising costs?”

Li Fan was taken aback, "What?"

"They didn't tell you about Bubusheng's advertising fees? Originally, Feifei Sun was the spokesperson Bubusheng wanted to find, but you know that Feifei Sun's endorsement fee has reached the top level of 1 million per year. So we couldn't talk at all, and then Feifei Sun recommended you, Bubusheng is very interested in you, and will contact you soon, what is your bottom line?"

"Really?" Li Fan was overjoyed and said, "It's too sudden, I didn't prepare for it. If it's true, it's at least 80 a year."

"There is no future! In this way, let's guarantee 100 million a year and strive for 150 million a year."

During the conversation between the two, Li Fan's phone rang, and it was Manager Zhang's call, "Hello, hello, well, I don't have time these days, can I do it next week, okay!"

The content of the chat was very simple. The other party expressed a strong intention to sign Li Fan. The price is around 100 million, but the specific details will have to wait until the meeting to discuss in detail.

After putting down the phone, Li Fan asked for help: "I don't understand this, Sister Jiang, do you have time these days?"

"If you don't have it, you have to have it! If I don't help you, who will help you?"

"Thank you, Miss Jiang!"

"Will the parents get a place to talk about the contract?"

"No need for this, I can make the decision."

……

Li Fan knew that he would not be so sloppy forever, money would fill his pockets sooner or later, but what he never expected was that the happy event would come so quickly.

It was almost here, leaving him no time to prepare.

He got out of the car with a grin, and then greeted the school security with a cheerful grin.

"Li Fan, is there any happy event for your child? I hope you are happy! Here is your delivery."

"The Persian Gulf War is finally over. May the world be peaceful." Li Fan muttered, and when he found his express mail, it was the computer he bought online.

Carrying the suitcase and walking on the corridor of Beijing University, ah, it turns out that the air in Beijing is also sweet.

He was very excited and couldn't calm down. This feeling was no different from winning the lottery.

Li Fan didn't go back to the dormitory directly, but turned into the playground, sat under the basketball hoop, and giggled.

Look at your worthless appearance!It's only 100 million a year. In Huaguo, any second- and third-tier fresh meat can be quoted more than this price. How many people in Huaguo don't know your name?What does the limitless student market behind you represent?Such a little money for this honor?It's so outrageous!

Li Fan took out his mobile phone and called his relatives and friends:

"Niu Qi, buddy has grown up, let's go home and treat him!"

"Mengmeng, to fulfill your wish, I will give you a set of limited edition Barbie dolls at home!"

"Jelly, my brother bought you a lot of toys when I got home."

……

Putting down the phone, Li Fan patted the computer case, took it apart with the help of a street light, and turned on the power. Hey, I'm not very satisfied. This screen sucks!

Li Fan shook his head, very arrogantly, he threw the notebook into the trash can, patted his butt, and left.

Five or six seconds later, da da da, he ran back quickly, dug out the computer from the trash can, wiped it carefully, put it in the computer bag, and carried it away.

It's night, sweet dreams!
