Lu Xiaobu was chatting at ho.
Liang Lan walked in with a mobile phone: "Young Master Bu, Director Nie is calling to inquire about the exclusive broadcasting rights for online videos. What do you think..."
"I’ll take it." Lu Xiaobu picked up the phone.
Director Nie had helped a lot and also shouldered a lot of bla.
A chat was deserved.
Lu Xiaobu: "Hello, Director Nie, this is Lu Xiaobu."
"Hello, Young Master Lu."
Director Nie was a bit happy to hear Lu Xiaobu answer the phone personally.
Yes, he still had so clout.
However, his title had long changed from the formal Mr. Lu to the more intimate and respectful Young Master Lu.
It wasn’t because of power, but because of talent.
"Alright, what about the video rights?"
Lu Xiaobu got straight to the point.
"It’s about several mainstream video websites, all wanting the exclusive broadcasting rights to our network, one of them even offered a sky-high price."
Director Nie also got back to business, speaking excitedly.
"Sky-high? Ten billion?" Lu Xiaobu asked.
"Pfft!"
Director Nie almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
True to Young Master Bu’s style, his opening bid was ten billion!
He hurriedly explained: "Young Master Bu, the sky-high price you ntion and ours might not be the sa. The sky-high price I ntioned refers to the highest price currently in the variety show circle, a whole eighty million!"
Director Nie couldn’t help but take a deep breath when he ntioned this figure.
Eighty million, that’s eighty million!
Maybe you don’t have a concept of eighty million.
Here’s the thing, currently at Shin TV Station, selling the exclusive rights for all variety and talk shows airing continuously for twenty-four hours a week wouldn’t even make eighty million!
That is to say, one "Good Voice" could surpass dozens of their Shin TV Station’s programs.
Of course, part of this was also because of the low ratings of their Shin TV Station.
But even within the entire variety circle, this price was unique and record-breaking.
"Eighty million? That sounds a little low! How much did I spend on the show? Although I didn’t do it for the money, this figure is a bit excessive," Lu Xiaobu said calmly.
"Well... yes, that’s also true!"
Director Nie realized.
He had been so excited that he forgot the costs.
Young Master Lu had spent three to four billion, and now eighty million seed just too little to take it all.
Even though it’s only online rights, it still wasn’t enough.
So, he thought for a mont and then said: "Then Young Master Lu, na your price, I’ll go talk to them."
Lu Xiaobu looked at Liang Lan, Liang Lan thought for a mont, then signaled a number.
"Alright, not asking for much, just 1.5 billion," Lu Xiaobu said, following the number Liang Lan suggested.
"Ah!?"
Director Nie felt like he had been hit on the head with a hamr.
He initially thought that rounding it to a neat billion would suffice.
Now it suddenly jumped to 1.5 billion, almost twice the price?!
Well!
"No problem, tell them if they want it, they want it, if not, I’ll just keep it on my Juechen platform," Lu Xiaobu said, yawning.
"Okay, then I’ll go negotiate."
Director Nie gave a wry smile; there was no other choice.
Young Master Lu had that kind of confidence.
Just after hanging up the phone, the mobile phone rang again.
Lu Xiaobu casually answered: "Hello."
"Young Master Bu, this is Zhang Feng." Zhang Feng spoke respectfully, "I hope I’m not disturbing your rest."
He had made a preliminary call earlier and found that the line was busy, which gave him the confidence to call.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare disturb Lu Xiaobu at this ti.
"What’s up? Hurry up, I’m sleepy." Lu Xiaobu said with a touch of impatience.
"Okay, Young Master Bu, soone wants our special ad. They don’t ask for much, not even a tagline. Just a na will do!" Zhang Feng said crisply.
This is the most helpless advertiser.
At the beginning, they begged to have their advertisents placed, now they are begging a second ti.
Not only are their requests getting lower, but their prices are getting higher.
"There’s no space, go wherever you want. I’m too lazy to even advertise myself." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, "Are you taking bribes for being so enthusiastic!?"
"No, no, really not, it’s just the station’s target." Zhang Feng hurried to explain.
With Young Master Bu by his side, what benefits do they need?
"Alright, let it be."
Lu Xiaobu just casually asked.
"And, Young Master Bu, they asked if they could have an ad before the start of the show."
Zhang Feng thought for a mont and dropped the jargon: "Like a reminder ad that ’The Voice’ is about to start."
"Um..." Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, "Isn’t that sothing for your station to decide?"
"That’s true, but we still need your approval," Zhang Feng smiled.
Whenever it involves ’The Voice,’ how can they be careless?
"Fine, you handle it."
Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, not wanting to make them continually operate at a loss.
Even though they don’t actually incur any losses.
"Alright, thanks Young Master Bu and oh, there’s one more thing—Yuan Xu got fired," Zhang Feng thanked.
"Yuan Xu? Who’s that?" Lu Xiaobu was puzzled.
"That person who sared you online, he’s been fired. The station manager felt awkward about telling you, but I thought you should know," Zhang Feng explained.
"Okay, I got it." Lu Xiaobu yawned, "That’s it, I’m sleepy."
"Alright, Young Master Bu, good night!" Zhang Feng hung up the phone.
...
In a rented apartnt.
"Good boy, you really have a knack!"
Ning Feiping’s chanic master, Elder Wang, excitedly squeezed Ning Feiping’s shoulder.
"Master, I don’t want to fix cars anymore, is that alright?"
Ning Feiping scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.
"If you wanted to fix cars, I wouldn’t let you!" Elder Wang laughed, "Just focus on singing your songs! Having you as a disciple, I can brag for a lifeti!"
For so reason, Ning Feiping’s eyes reddened: "Master!"
...
At Wu i’s ho.
Wu i got a call, then made several calls, suddenly screaming, "Dad! Mom!!"
"What’s wrong? What’s wrong?"
Her parents hurried over.
"I... I... they... a talent agency wants to sign ! They want as a recording artist!"
Wu i was too excited to speak.
"What?!" Wu i’s mother exclaid.
Wu i’s father was also ecstatic, "Really? Really?"
"Yes, it’s real! It’s Chen Wen’s agency that wants to sign , I’ve confird it with Teacher Chen Wen himself! He recomnded to the agency!" Wu i was overjoyed.
"Signing?" Wu i’s mother said, hugging her daughter, "Oh my! My daughter is going to be a singer!"
Wu i’s father was a bit more composed, though his hands shaking as he lit a cigarette, "So, will you sign?"
"I want to ask Young Master Bu first, what do you think, mom and dad?" Wu i was very anxious, feeling uncertain.
"Yes, yes, that’s right, you must ask Young Master Bu," her father firmly said, "Young Master Bu gave you this opportunity, you must do it!"
...
Many people’s fate changed because of ’The Voice’!
Many people’s hearts raced because of ’The Voice’!
Tonight, this night is destined to belong only to ’Heavenly Dynasty’s The Voice’!
Countless people screaming for ’The Voice’!
Countless people going crazy for ’The Voice’!
Yep, Lu Xiaobu slept soundly.
