Crazy Entertainment System

Filming for the first season of "iPartment" will wrap up today, December 22nd.

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work. This is the last scene. After filming, I'll treat you all to a big meal!" Chen Yu said to the staff and actors after getting up early.

"Yay!" Everyone couldn't help but cheer. Although there was a celebration banquet after filming wrapped, it wasn't a necessity, and they didn't know if Chen Yu would hold one or when! Now that Chen Yu had mentioned it, he must be very happy. More importantly, they could finally find an opportunity to get Chen Yu drunk.

He was thinking that getting Chen Yu drunk would be a "glorious" thing to do if word got out!

"All of you better calm down and stop overthinking. If you mess this up, you'll be eating air!" Chen Yu laughed when he saw the crowd dancing involuntarily.

Upon hearing Chen Yu's threat, everyone immediately composed themselves and dared not act recklessly.

Because Chen Yu is a man of his word on set, if this incident causes trouble for him and the celebration banquet is canceled, then we'll be at a huge loss.

Then, all staff members went into their assigned positions.

They quickly found their place.

As the final shot ended, Chen Yu shouted, "Filming wrapped!"

"Oh, it's wrapped up! It's finally wrapped up! Long live the director!" As they spoke, they began to surround Chen Yu. Seeing that things were not going well, Chen Yu immediately straightened his face and said, "All of you, go back!" With Chen Yu's loud shout, the crowd that had surrounded him stopped in their tracks.

"I'm leaving this place to you, I'll head out now!" Chen Yu said to Engineer Hu and the others, then calmly straightened his clothes.

He turned around, walked away slowly, his steps becoming increasingly pleasant.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and chase after them! Don't you want to miss the celebration banquet?" Engineer Hu couldn't help but say to the others who were still stunned.

Only then did everyone realize that Chen Yu was planning to make a runaway!

He immediately shouted, "Crown Prince, don't run away! Give me back my victory banquet!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu turned and ran without looking back.

A large group of people chased after them.

After running for several dozen meters, Chen Yu stopped and addressed the crowd behind him.

"Celebration banquet, same place, 6:30 pm, see you there! I have to go take care of some business!" Chen Yu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone was unsure whether Chen Yu was telling the truth or not, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.

"You bitch, what do we do?! Should we chase her or not?!" Hu Yifei asked, looking at her senior brother.

"What are you talking about? Do you think we can catch up? Besides, the Crown Prince might really be busy. See you tonight. Make sure you're all on an empty stomach tonight, and prepare some hangover medicine beforehand. Let's take care of him together!" Chen Chichi said viciously.

"Aren't you afraid Chen Yu will find out what you said?!"

"What did I say?!" Chen Chichi feigned surprise, looking genuinely puzzled.

"She really is a bitch!" Hu Yifei exclaimed.

Li Jinming: "You bastard!"

Guan Gu: "You bastard"

"Despicable person"

Chen Yu's departure wasn't to escape anything; he genuinely had something to attend to—the sale of the broadcasting rights for "iPartment." More than ten domestic television stations were already waiting for him at Crazy Entertainment, and they needed him to go there to finalize the cooperation details.

We quickly arrived at Crazy Entertainment's office building by car.

"Sorry I'm late, they just finished filming over there!" Chen Yu said with a light smile.

"It's alright, we just arrived too!" the dozen or so men and women inside greeted each other. They had to give Chen Yu face, even if they didn't want to give face to anyone else.

"Would you like something to drink?!" Liang Siwen asked.

"No need. I believe everyone has been waiting for some time, and everyone's purpose in coming is very the same, which is to talk about 'iPartment,' which I just finished filming. So let's not beat around the bush. I'll tell you frankly that I have high hopes for this show, and therefore the price is very high. Since everyone is here, let me first explain my personal cooperation terms."

The first round of broadcasting rights was priced at 2000 million per episode, with a total of only 24 episodes, each approximately 45 minutes long.

Siwen, please prepare some envelopes. Write your prices in the envelopes, and we will choose the highest one.

"Of course, before the broadcast, I'll use Crazy's advertising to promote the show for two days. As for the extent, I can only say that one-third of the price will go into Crazy's advertising. If you think this price is too high, then I won't say anything and will automatically give up the first-run broadcast rights. If none of you want these first-run broadcast rights, then Crazy Group will buy them at a high price. As for the exact price, I can only say it won't be less than 30 million." Chen Yu's asking price of 20 million immediately made everyone in the room gasp. They knew the price wouldn't be low before they came, but they didn't expect it to be this high—a low price of 20 million. But with 24 episodes in total, that's nearly 500 million! This is blatant robbery! It's said that the production cost of this show was only 50 million.

"Mr. Chen, I need to make a phone call!" one of the women said to Chen Yu as she stood up.

"Okay, we'll need about ten minutes to prepare."

Chen Yu naturally knew why she was making that call. It must be because the price offered by the station wasn't enough to cover the reserve price! Otherwise, she wouldn't even have qualified for the first round of bidding for the premiere rights.

Although the price of 2000 is high, it makes a difference if one-third of the money is used for advertising.

With her leading the way, the others also got up and started taking out their iPhone Zero Plus to make calls.

Ask the station what the maximum permissions are.

"Director, Chen Yu just said that the starting price for the first-run broadcast rights of 'iPartment' is 2000 million yuan per episode, and we'll be using a bidding process. He said that one-third of the price will be used for advertising and promotion on the Crazy platform. I'd like to know the maximum amount of authority you'll grant me," the Zhejiang TV representative said softly.

"2000 million per episode, and that's the bottom line?! That's outrageous!" Even someone who's seen it all was shocked, feeling that the price was a bit too high.

"Yes, the highest-grossing TV series in the industry right now is only 920 million per episode, but that's a big production that costs nearly 2 million."

“But this is Chen Yu’s first work. We don’t even know how good the work is. It’s definitely not good to offer too high a price. Ask him if there are any guarantees. We can’t just let him ask for whatever price he wants. If he can guarantee the ratings, we can be more flexible with the price.”

"Okay, let me ask!"

"Okay, keep in touch!" Many TV station directors were surprised by the starting price of 20 million, feeling that the price was a bit too high. Moreover, they were unsure about the quality of "iPartment" in Chen Yu's hands.
