Chapter 776 Advertising fee sharing
After confirming the intention to cooperate with Li Yi, Zhou Xingchi also said goodbye and left.
Li Yi took the staff to clean the site and the kitchen.
All the staff participated in this cleaning, even Wang Tian wiped the table.
Everyone cleans very seriously, and every blind spot is not missed.
In fact, after the last episode of the program is finished, the restaurant here will also be demolished, and everything will be transported away. No matter how clean it is, there is no point.
But no one thought about this. They just cleaned the restaurant as before, or even more seriously than before, until everything was clean.
Finally, all the cleaning was done.
Looking at the restaurant that was almost the same as when it was first launched three months ago, but completely different, everyone was silent and just looked around, as if trying to imprint all this into their minds.
Wang Tian also looked at the familiar things around him, feeling sad in his heart.
However, the management staff were already outside urging them, and they could not stay any longer, so Wang Tian suppressed his feelings and clapped his hands to greet them: "Okay, the last guard shift is over, let's take a group photo!"
No one refused this proposal. Everyone came to the yard outside the front hall, stood together, and took a group photo with the camera of the program team, leaving the restaurant behind them and everyone’s smiles in the photo.
After taking the group photo, everyone adjusted their mood and packed up their things while talking and laughing.
Wang Tian has arranged the celebration banquet for tomorrow afternoon, so everyone can have a good sleep and relieve their fatigue after going back.
Li Yi also packed up all his things and took them back to the hotel together.
After returning to the hotel, the staff went to their rooms to rest.
After Li Yi and Liu Yifei said goodbye in the elevator, they returned to the room and took a shower.
Just after taking a shower, Li Yi received a call from Wang Tian, saying that he wanted to come over and talk to him about something.
After Li Yi agreed, Wang Tian came over not long after.
“Have you received the money?”
Wang Tian walked in and sat down, then asked with a smile.
"received."
Li Yi wiped his hair and asked with a smile: "But why is there an extra ten million?"
By the afternoon, there were more than 10 million in his bank card.
According to the originally agreed salary, his salary should be less than 4 million, but the money he received was a full 10 million more.
But he was busy in the kitchen at the time and had no time to care about this, so he didn't ask.
Wang Tian came over and asked about the money again, so Li Yi asked casually.
Wang Tian didn’t hide it from him, and said with a smile: “That’s the public relations fee that Taili paid me. If you ask me to publicize you, I must make you sign a contract for the next season.
I haven’t touched a penny of this money. I’ve given it all to you. You can just buy whatever you want. "
Having been in the industry for so many years, Wang Tian knows that playing straight is the best way to communicate.
Instead of thinking about buying some gifts for Li Yi, it would be better to just give him the money.
Otherwise, with Li Yi's vision, it is estimated that Li Yi may not be able to appreciate the gifts she carefully selected and bought.
“Such a big red envelope?”
Li Yi joked: "It seems like you guys are really making money in Taiwan."
“That’s really a lot of money.”
Wang Tian smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely convince the station to quote you the salary for the next season according to a super first-tier star."
As she spoke, she paused for a moment before deliberately lowering her voice: "She must be taller than Huang Xiaoming."
Although Wang Tian said it in a joking tone, it is still true.
Variety shows also depend on data. Whoever can resist the data will be the core.
Everyone can clearly see how important Li Yi is to this season of "Chinese Restaurant".
Huang Xiaoming wouldn’t have any objections if he were to increase his remuneration package for the next season to the highest level.
Therefore, Wang Tian said with a smile: "Xiao Ming has no objection! He hopes that someone will help him bear the pressure."
Li Yi smiled, folded the towel, and then said: "Next season, I want a share of the advertising fees."
"ah?"
Wang Tian was stunned when he heard this.
How to share the advertising fee?
Does Li Yi have such a big appetite?
“This may not be realistic.”
She shook her head: "I can help you apply for more remuneration, but the station will not agree to the sharing of advertising fees."
Advertising fees are the main source of revenue for the TV station and must be used to pay for various expenses within the station. The use of allocations must always be signed by the station director.
Hearing her words, Li Yi shook his head: "This condition must be met. This is my bottom line condition."
"Li Yi, aren't you making things difficult for me?" Wang Tian was in trouble.
Li Yi smiled: "Sister Tian, what is our relationship? How could I embarrass you?"
This is business, it must be business. Don't worry, just tell me my conditions.
Whether it works or not, our friendship will not change. "
Hearing what he said, Wang Tian felt relieved, but still a little worried: "This condition is indeed too harsh, and it is impossible for Taili to agree."
“They will agree.”
Li Yi is very confident because he understands human nature.
During the period when "Chinese Restaurant" was on the air, Mango Channel was also very successful and reaped many benefits.
The biggest benefit is to be praised by the national propaganda department and set as a model for foreign cultural propaganda.
Because the program "Chinese Restaurant" is not only popular in China, but also performs extremely well in overseas markets.
Overseas viewers cannot see the live broadcast, but the program's main film has been introduced to more than 40 countries, and it has ranked first in ratings in more than 90% of the countries.
ˆ Relevant slice videos have also received hundreds of millions of views on overseas video platforms.
Tens of millions of overseas viewers from various countries are watching this program every day and discussing its content.
This is a proper cultural export and absolute cultural influence.
With this program, Mango Channel has already made a lot of money just by selling overseas broadcast rights.
But Li Yi did not get a share of the pie.
Even if Mango Channel offers Li Yi an absolute top-tier salary next season, it will only be 20 to 30 million. Compared with the overall income, it will definitely be a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning.
Hence, it is absolutely reasonable for Li Yi to ask for a share of advertising fees, and he is sure that Mango Channel will agree.
If it really offends him and causes him to withdraw from the recording of the next season, then Mango Channel will not only face a sharp drop in revenue, the value of well-known IP will also plummet, and the national propaganda department will be disgraced.
After all, the role model that has just been set up has just stretched out its hips after not persisting for a year. How can it maintain its reputation?
Moreover, Li Yi hasn’t even mentioned the full copyright income share yet. He is already merciful. If he doesn’t even agree to this condition, then Mango TV will be too ignorant.
Seeing that Li Yi was so determined, Wang Tian couldn't say anything else and could only nod his head: "Okay, I'll try our best to fight with Taili."
