Rebirth: I just wanted to study hard, but I became a scumbag

Chapter 406 Boycott

"Sorry, the price is too low."

Su Ze decisively refused.

Director Liu was stunned for a moment.

He said in a bitter tone: "Mr. Su, you also know the current price on the market."

"The top TV series in China only costs 500 million per episode."

"We have already raised it to 1500 million for you, please think about it again."

Su Ze smiled.

He asked back: "Now that Director Liu has spoken out, you should also know how popular our program will be after it goes online, right?"

"Besides, the reputation of our Big Shot Entertainment has always been ranked high in the industry."

"You should know that we won't charge exorbitant prices."

From the previous "If You Are the One" to the later "Running Man".

These two variety shows became popular across the country as soon as they were launched.

There are even foreign TV stations hoping to introduce these two variety shows.

Director Liu often recalled the scene when Feng Feng and Liao Jian approached him with the first episode of "Running Man".

If he had gritted his teeth and won the exclusive rights to broadcast "Running Man".

Then the current Beijing TV station will definitely soar into the sky.

It's a pity that time is also fate, and he missed it in the end.

So this time "The Voice of China" has just started preparations for filming.

Director Liu was particularly concerned and even applied for a large amount of funds from the station in advance to purchase this new program.

Referring to the last "Running Man", he expected Su Ze's price this time to be around 1500 million.

Unexpectedly, Su Ze said it was too low.

Although Director Liu admitted that what Su Ze said was true.

He also believes that "The Voice of China" can definitely become a new phenomenon-level variety show.

But Su Ze's tough attitude still made him a little dissatisfied.

"Mr. Su, why don't you be more direct and tell me how much it will cost to satisfy your appetite."

Director Liu's tone was low, and his words were quite dissatisfied.

Su Zequan pretended not to have heard it, but still said cheerfully: "One price, 3000 million per issue."

"You are crazy!"

Director Liu snorted heavily and was about to hang up the phone, but hesitated.

He was still a little unwilling, so he sneered and said, "Mr. Su, I advise you to think about it again."

"After all, the pricing power is in the hands of our TV station. If you insist on such a high price, then we can unite with TV stations across the country to boycott your company's works!"

"You better think about it!"

After saying that, Su Ze hung up the phone without giving him a chance to refute.

Su Ze shook his head.

"Scaring me?"

Liao Jian came over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Su Ze briefly recounted to him the content of the conversation he had just had with Director Liu.

"What he said actually makes sense. Should we sell him some face?" Liao Jian asked.

"Are you panicking?"

Su Ze thought he was stretched and said: "Don't worry, the mountain man has his own clever plan. This time I will take action myself."

……

half a month later.

Su Ze took the finished film of the first issue of "The Voice of China" and embarked on the road to Beijing TV Station.

Feng Feng, as the driver, is responsible for driving.

Liao Jian was sitting in the passenger seat, looking back from time to time to look at Su Ze who was resting in the back seat with his eyes closed.

"Mr. Su, I have bad news to inform you." Liao Jian suddenly broke the silence.

"Say."

Su Ze leaned back on the soft chair and squinted his eyes.

"According to my friends at Beijing TV Station, the heads of TV stations across the country have already arrived in advance today."

"They discussed it and decided to lower the price collectively. The price for a single episode will not be higher than 100 million."

Feng Feng frowned and said: "100 million? This amount of money is not even enough to pay the guests!"

"Aren't they forcing us to go bankrupt?"

Liao Jian looked a little embarrassed: "It is said that Director Liu of Beijing TV Station feels that our big-name entertainment has driven the barbaric growth of variety shows. He said that this trend is very bad and must be suppressed immediately."

Su Ze snorted.

He knew very well that this was just an excuse to fool people.

After all, he still holds grudges for rejecting Director Liu's offer of 1500 million to buy the program.

"It doesn't matter. If they don't buy it, then we will show it to the audience for free."

Su Ze was very calm.

He is not short of money at all now.

What's more, the Internet is developing so rapidly now that TV stations will gradually be abandoned.

Putting the program on the Internet can be regarded as paving the way for later online dramas and online movies.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario.

Su Ze was convinced that the so-called collective price reduction was just a show of force.

The sponsorship of 10 billion yuan alone is enough to make these TV stations covetous.

What's more, there is the ratings that they value most.

15 minute later.

The three of them arrived outside the compound of Beijing TV Station.

Under the guidance of the staff, they walked into a conference room full of people.

Directly in front of the conference room is a blackboard.

It is all signed by representatives of major domestic TV stations.

Above these names, the words "About the United Boycott of Variety Shows' High Price Chaos" were clearly written.

Su Ze knew very well that this was written for him.

But he still pretended to be confused and asked: "Director Liu, what does this mean?"

Director Liu had a sneer on his face.

"Mr. Su, we feel that the prices charged for many variety shows nowadays are inflated and very unreasonable."

"So after discussion, we believe that this chaos must be curbed!"

"From today on, the price quoted for a single episode must not be higher than 100 million, otherwise we will never buy it."

As he spoke, he turned back to look at the TV station representatives in the conference room.

"Everyone said, didn't they?"

All representatives responded one after another with a very firm attitude.

Director Liu turned around and turned the conversation to Su Ze.

"Mr. Su, did you bring a new program today?"

"Everyone happens to be here, why don't you take a look and we can give you a comprehensive price estimate."

Su Ze waved his hand.

He said bluntly: "There's no need. The price of 100 million is too low and we can't possibly sell it."

"Oh? I wonder what Mr. Su's intended price is?"

Although Director Liu knew about Su Ze's quotation, he still asked questions deliberately.

Su Ze didn't shy away from it either.

"3000 million per installment, no negotiation."

Just as Director Liu expected.

After saying this, the conference room became a mess.

"Crazy! The price quoted for this variety show is enough to make a movie!"

"We might as well go and rob! Which TV station can afford so much money! We really think we open a bank!"

"Resist! We must resist! This phenomenon must not be allowed to continue to exist!"

Director Liu glanced sideways at Su Ze.

"This is what happens if you refuse me," he said, victoriously.

"Of course, it's not too late for you to regret it now."

"1500 million per installment, but you must sign a confidentiality agreement."
