Crazy Entertainment System

Chapter 452, 14 million views per episode.

"I never said it was mine!"

"Even if there are any, they are pitifully few. However, the character of Chen Yu is acceptable. Meijia is very beautiful and naive, a silly girl from a big city. The reason for all this is that Meijia is a microcosm."

The naiveté of an uneducated girl arriving in a bustling metropolis—and this naiveté, especially when combined with International Women's Day and Labor Day—is a true advantage, a privilege most people don't possess!

"Alright, you all seem to be fine now?!"

"No problem, this show doesn't have any bad topics. It's basically about everyday life, just amplified a bit and given a lot of coincidences. That's how it becomes so funny."

"Yes, Director, this drama passed! If a drama like this doesn't pass, I really don't know what our censorship standards are!"

"Exactly! Hundreds of millions of people across the country are waiting for us!"

Seeing everyone talking at once, all of them were giving it a pass.

"You guys, I'm really impressed. There are hundreds of millions of people waiting for us. Even if we approve it, it might not be released immediately. Don't you even consider whether he has finalized a cooperation agreement with the TV station!"

"Director, it was sold a long time ago, to CCTV," said the female employee who was in charge of receiving Liang Siwen.

"Wow, that's incredibly fast! How did you know?"

"Of course, it was the president of Crazy Entertainment who said it. She personally delivered the work. She deliberately mentioned that Chen Yu's work had already been sold to CCTV and that it would definitely be released within a week once it passed the review!"

"Really?!" He was somewhat incredulous, because such things were practically impossible to reveal to outsiders.

"Why would I lie to you? Of course it's true, and don't you think this kind of thing is normal?! Besides, even if CCTV didn't buy it, they can still broadcast it on the internet."

"Alright, I'll look into this with the other leaders. You all should go back now and give us an answer on Monday. But nobody should make this public."

"Yes, we know!"

On Monday, Liang Siwen received a call from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, informing her that "iPartment" had passed the review and she could come and pick up the approval document.

Liang Siwen rushed to the State Administration of Radio and Television and took away the license worth 1 billion yuan.

Once we get this stuff, we can hand it over to CCTV and get the rest of the money.

There are so many projects waiting for this money!

While 300 million yuan might not be enough to produce a big-budget production, it could still fund about ten ordinary domestic TV dramas, typically costing 20-30 million yuan each. This would support a large number of people and provide more exposure opportunities for the artists under its management.

Of course, web series adaptations have also been put on the agenda. With Chen Yu's guidance, they've begun looking for the most popular online novels currently appearing on literary websites.

Chen Yu's attitude towards web dramas is somewhat ambiguous. Urban dramas are really difficult to film because many things involve sensitive topics that are prohibited.

However, what netizens like is the original work; if these elements are removed, it might lose its original flavor.

Therefore, how to choose, and how to change after choosing, becomes a big problem.

However, web series have become a way for Crazy Entertainment to cultivate new talent.

A good web series still requires money and various resources to polish it.

Web dramas are a fast-paced genre that doesn't require actors to have the skills of veteran artists, but they also can't be too lazy. This makes them a good choice for new generation artists who have formal training and need certain channels for exposure.

"Chen Yu, 'iPartment' has been approved." Liang Siwen left the broadcasting building and immediately called Chen Yu.

"I understand. You can handle the rest. Oh, and don't forget to transfer my money to my account!" Chen Yu said.

"No way, boss, can't you give me more? You know I have a lot of artists under my management, and these artists need money to film projects and gain exposure. There are already nearly 20 projects about to be launched, and they all need money. Can you please give me a little more? Consider it your investment!" Liang Siwen pleaded, completely baffled as to why Chen Yu needed so much money!

"Why don't you go find your sister Feiyan?!" Chen Yu said with a light laugh.

"I went there, but she wouldn't give it to me. She said Crazy Entertainment is now operating independently and we can't keep thinking about getting money from her. She said she'd give me the money, but with interest. You don't know how much more ruthless Sister Feiyan is, the president. She asks for interest that's 30% higher than bank loans." Liang Siwen complained.

Chen Yu almost burst out laughing.

Liang Siwen actually called Gao Feiyan a skinflint; if Gao Feiyan heard this, she would probably be furious.

"Aren't you afraid Gao Feiyan will hear you? She considers you her best friend!"

"One thing at a time, she's a real skinflint in this matter. Chen Yu, are you going to give it to me or not? Otherwise, I'll call you a skinflint too!" Liang Siwen said, resorting to shamelessness.

"I give up. Transfer 300 million to me, and you can keep the rest, but consider it my investment. You have to return the profits to me!"

"Okay, okay, I knew you were the best. If you didn't already have Yali, I would have wanted to pursue you myself." Liang Siwen said happily. With nearly 400 million yuan in hand, they could start many projects and solve their financial pressure.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Yu received a call from a person in charge at CCTV.

Tell Chen Yu that "iPartment" will premiere on December 28th, which is five days from now!

After hearing the news, Chen Yu confirmed it several times before calling Gao Feiyan.

"Hey, can you spare some time now?!" Chen Yu asked.

"Okay, go ahead, what is it?!" Gao Feiyan said softly.

"Here's the thing: 'iPartment' has passed the State Administration of Radio and Television's review, we've got the license, and CCTV has decided to premiere it on the 28th. Also, 'iPartment' will be available on video websites the day after its CCTV broadcast. You can handle that. In addition, we'll do some advertising and promotion for the show, around 8000 million yuan, which will come from the fees paid for the online streaming rights. 'iPartment' was sold to CCTV for 4150 million yuan per episode. How much are you prepared to give to the online streaming platform?!"

"My idea is not to give them a single cent!" Gao Feiyan said with a light laugh.

"Stop being silly, let's get down to business!" Chen Yu rolled his eyes at Gao Feiyan and said irritably.

“Okay, the internet can’t compare to television. How about I take one-third, 1400 million per episode?” Gao Feiyan said after thinking for a moment.

This price is in line with market trends; there's a significant difference between online and TV station prices. If a comparison must be made, it's about one-third.
