149 Variety Show (2/2)
At this time, apart from Zhang Xiaohua, everyone present had expressed their satisfaction with the program...
The liked the concept of gathering stars together and making a game show. With so many stars, once the show aired the ratings would definitely be high.
Director Liu was completely focused on Zhang Xiaohua, afterall Zhang Xiaohua was the decision-maker of the company.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's lackl.u.s.ter look, he a.s.sumed that he was dissatisfied with the price: ”When we released news of the programm many entertainment companies immediately submitted applications to us, after accepting some, we specifically maintained two places just for Ling Ming and Yang Kun.”
Speaking up to here, Director Liu revealed a look of self-confidence and continued: ” In addition to the appearance fees for having Ling Ming and Yang Kun on the show, we are willing to offer 7.5% of the advertising revenue we earn to show our sincerity to cooperate with your company.”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Datong and Emma almost begun to celebrate.
It was said that Huaxia Central's advertising fees were very high, to earn an ad spot on their shows, many brands were willing to pay millions. Now, they offered 7.5% of the advertising revenue to HuaXiang Entertainment, this was like a golden pie falling out of the sky.
”I'm sorry Director Liu, but Ling Ming and Yang Kun's schedules are already full, for the next few months. They will be unavailable.”
When Zhang Xiaohua said this, everyone was stunned.
What the h.e.l.l was he on about?
Ling Ming and Yang Kun were completly free, they were just idling about.
Huaxia Central was a well-known TV station with certain strength and relations.h.i.+ps.
They had already rejected them last time. If they refused them again, they were bound to feel some way about it and retaliate against HuaXiang Entertainment. If they did so, the future of HuaXiang Entertainment would be bleak!
At this time facing everyone's shocked gazes, Zhang Xiaohua was calm. Xu Fengnian wanted to persuade him, but in the face of outsiders, as the subordinate he couldn't openly confront the boss, or they would inevitably look like fools who didn't understand what they were doing, so he held himself back.
Seeing the steadfastness on Zhang Xiaohua's face, Director Liu face fell, his smile turning into a deep frown. He stared at Zhang Xiaohua with his sharp eyes. His pair of thick eyebrows became wrinkled, forming black lines across his forehead endlessly. His breath also deepened as his frustration built up.
Since the establishment of Huaxia Central, it had cooperated with major entertainment companies no less than a thousand times. Many of whom who came begging to them for a chance to corporate. Rarely did they have to reach out and never had they been rejected when they did so.
With their power in the industry, they could crush stars and companies like it was nothing. They had tight connection to those in power, making their place in the industry as the number one station in the country indisputable. Their influence reached all aspects of the entertainment industry to a certain degree, even all the other stations followed in their footsteps. It had become custom to pay tribute to them in the industry, you help them out and they pave the way for you in return.
Angered, Director Liu stood up and said with dissatisfaction: ”Since Boss Zhang is so young and prosperous, it seems you think we aren't qualified to cooperate with your company. Since this is the case, I'll take my leave.”
As Director Liu was about to leave, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly said: ”Director Liu has misunderstood, I said that Ling Ming and Yang Kun have no time currently, not that we won't cooperate with you.”
Hearing this, Director Liu turned back to face him while showing a questioning look. The purpose of his trip was to ask for Ling Ming and Yang Kun to partic.i.p.ate in the new show. Since he refused, how else could they cooperate?
