Entertainment News: Kneeling on the knee of the "Fairy Sister," you say she got proposed t

Chapter 88 Signing the Betting Agreement

Under Xi Xi's guidance, Lu Yuan also became familiar with some of the crew members.

This was, of course, her way of showing her good intentions. Knowing that Lu Yuan was going to enter this industry, it was good to get to know some people beforehand.

When it came to Huang Gou, Huang Gou was rather indifferent, and with his face, it was as if Lu Yuan owed him money.

Lu Yuan's attitude towards him was lukewarm, knowing that this was how Hong Kong separatists were.

It's only because the Hong Kong entertainment industry has been in a slump in recent years that these people have come to the mainland to make money.

It's ridiculous that people who come to the mainland to make money want to act like big shots. This is the kind of path they've narrowed.

It's not fair to say that all of the people in Hong Kong's entertainment industry look down on mainland stars.

Even during the era when Hong Kong's entertainment industry held a dominant position, the mainland was subjected to considerable suppression at that time.

There are those with ambiguous attitudes, but there are very few like Huang Gou; many people hide their true feelings very well.

They dared not show it again after that, but you can still find some information about them by looking back at their past.

There are very few people like Stephen Chow; in their case, it's actually a sign of being unsociable.

That's why Stephen Chow's works became increasingly popular on Douyin, and people learned what he wanted to express through various details.

People like Huang Gou aren't even worthy of carrying Stephen Chow's shoes.

Therefore, Lu Yuan was not interested in him at all.

During this visit to the set, he and Deng Chao exchanged contact information, which can be considered as making friends.

In mid-May, "Go Princess Go" was finally completed.

This time, because it was a company he and Xixi co-founded, there were professional negotiators to handle the negotiations.

Lu Yuan only needs to explain his ideal method, and the professionals can then communicate with the video provider.

Professional tasks should be handled by professionals.

Youku was naturally Lu Yuan's first choice, because this video platform was the first to extend an olive branch to him.

They were also the first to be willing to spend a lot of money, so we chose to talk to them first.

As for Tencent and iQiyi, Lu Yuan didn't let them go either.

He'll negotiate with all of them, and whoever offers the best terms will get the project. He hasn't considered other websites.

Those websites are all going out of business, so why bother with them!

At this stage, online dramas are reviewed by the platform itself; as long as they are registered, supervision is carried out afterward.

It was also because of "Go Princess Go" that web dramas came under the scrutiny of regulators.

Later, due to the unchecked growth of online dramas, the censorship standards for online dramas and satellite TV dramas were made completely consistent.

In "Go Princess Go", Lu Yuan still follows the original route, because it is the original route that makes the show so popular.

Since we'll have to cut it all off eventually anyway, let's just eat this crab first.

He has already prepared the edited version for the revisions, and will release the revised version later without delaying his work.

He didn't want to do the same thing twice, so he figured it was better to do it all at once.

Since we already know what's going on, we can just treat the symptoms.

After the negotiations concluded, Youku was the most generous among the three companies.

Because they have already benefited from Lu Yuan's team, they have even more confidence in Lu Yuan.

Although it's not the same team as before, it's just Lu Yuan alone.

However, Youku understands that Lu Yuan is the core of that team, and he is the screenwriter.

In the end, Lu Yuan signed a performance-based agreement with Youku.

That is, if "Go Princess Go" can break 10 billion views, the membership revenue will be 5.5 for Yujian Entertainment and 4.5 for Youku platform.

If it surpasses 15 billion, membership revenue will be 6 for Yume Entertainment and 4 for Youku; GG revenue will be 5.5 for Yume Entertainment and 4.5 for Youku.

If it surpasses 20 billion, GG's revenue will be ranked 6th in entertainment and 4th in Youku's revenue.

If it can break 25 billion, then the revenue from members and GG will be split 70/30, with Meet Entertainment getting 70% and Youku getting 30%.

If the minimum requirement of 10 billion is not met, then the show will only receive 1500 million from Entertainment.

That means we barely managed to keep the principal.

But Lu Yuan knew the potential of this drama, even though it had been released two years earlier than expected.

But there haven't been any major problems in the last two years; by 13, smartphones had become widespread.

It's just that many people use knock-off phones, so this doesn't have a big impact on online dramas.

He was confident that the play would achieve the effect he remembered.

Before "Go Princess Go" came out, who could have imagined that the show would achieve such a terrifying number of views!

Because no previous drama could match that.

At that time, no online drama could break 20 billion views, so Youku immediately agreed to Lu Yuan's bet.

Even if they ultimately succeed, it's a sure-fire deal for them; they just might earn a little less.

But it's not a loss for them, because if they could really achieve that number of views, how many new users would that bring in?

This is what their platform values ​​most; everything else is secondary.

The company's negotiators had become numb; they were simply following orders, but in their hearts, they felt that their boss was being capricious.

It's simply impossible to meet those betting conditions; it would just be working for Youku for nothing.

Liu Yifei didn't have any particular thoughts on it; she believed that Lu Yuan had his reasons for doing so.

Even if he doesn't reach that level, it's okay; this is helping him accumulate directing experience.

And since we didn't lose money, that's good enough.

Many directors spend money to gain experience, and sometimes they end up losing everything.

"Go Princess Go" is confirmed to air on Youku on June 1st.

The platform was kind enough to give them face and started promoting the product on their platform.

Let everyone know that the screenwriter of this drama is the same screenwriter of "6:30" and "Unexpectedly". Hearing that the screenwriter of these two short dramas has aroused the interest of many people in this drama.

Lu Yuan is also promoting the show on his Weibo account.

He now has about 500,000 followers on Weibo, most of whom came because of Xixi.

Many of these fans started following him because of Lu Yuan's novel "A Little Happiness" written for Xi Xi.

Another group consists of his genuine fans who came because of his songs and short dramas.

"Why isn't Xixi promoting this?"

"I bet a bag of spicy strips that Xixi will help promote it this time."

"It looks like a long series, and it's the comedy type, right?"

"I will definitely give it my support."

"Haha—I'm also waiting for Xixi to help promote it."

"Hurry up and write some songs, this is called neglecting your duties."

"Good grief, someone else is directing a movie, and you're saying he's not doing his job properly when he's making movies."

Liu Yifei also saw the teasing comments from her fans under Lu Yuan's Weibo post, which she had originally intended to post herself.

Now, of course, we need to make a big splash. We also want everyone to know that this company belongs to us and Lu Yuan.

"As expected, Xixi is never late."

"Could these two really be having an affair?"

"A friend is someone you can ask, and that's what a friend is."

"They're just friends, it's perfectly normal to help a friend promote their business."
