Chapter 128 The web drama takes off
Da Mimi heard everything that happened with Senior Brother Lu Yang just now, and she also knew what Yang Hao was trying to say but was hesitant to say.

"Yang Hao, if you have something to do, go back first. When I recover, remember to prepare a blockbuster movie for me." Da Mimi was very reasonable and directly advised Yang Hao to return to China.

"What about little Nuomi?" Da Mimi disappeared from the entertainment circle for more than half a year without a word, and suddenly brought a child home. Yang Hao was very worried about Da Mimi's situation.

"It's nothing. If my parents ask, I will say that I gave birth to a child for my sponsor," Da Mimi smiled mischievously and joked with Yang Hao.

"Uh!" Da Mimi's joke made Yang Hao very embarrassed. He touched his nose, not knowing how to respond.

"It's really nothing. There are many stars in the entertainment industry who have had children for no apparent reason. One more is not missing for me," Da Mimi said pretending to be generous.

"Besides, you don't want to marry me," Da Mimi said again in a low voice.

Da Mimi's probing words made Yang Hao not know how to respond, and he could only remain silent.

"Oh!" Seeing Yang Hao remained silent, Da Mimi sighed in her heart.

But it is understandable. Yang Hao is only 22 years old and has achieved such great success in the entertainment industry. It is impossible for a normal person to settle down. Who doesn't want to play in this circle of fame and fortune for a few more years?

Many men and women in the entertainment industry never get married in their entire lives.

They can date, have children, and even live together, just like normal couples, but they just won’t get a marriage certificate.

Once you get the marriage certificate, it means that half of the money you earn every year will be taken away by your other party.

Who would use a marriage certificate to restrict themselves when they can enjoy the rights without getting married?
When the plane landed and I walked out of the VIP channel, I saw my driver, Wang Qiang, standing not far away waiting for me.

When Yang Hao saw him, Wang Qiang also saw himself and immediately trotted forward to help Yang Hao push the suitcase.

"Mr. Yang, are we going back to the company or home?" Wang Qiang asked softly after Yang Hao sat down.

"Let's go back to the company!" Yang Hao said after thinking for a while.

I returned to my office, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down from above to admire this bustling metropolis.

Yang Hao couldn't help but sigh, "China is still the best."
-
In the twenty days that Yang Hao was abroad, the box office of "The Richest Tomato" had reached 19.6 billion, not far from the 20 billion mark.

Yang Hao heard from China Film Director Ci Peikang that the reason for such rapid growth was that he mobilized some connections and asked some primary and secondary schools to organize students to watch movies.

When Yang Hao was in school, he was often organized to watch movies. Watching movies was fun, but after watching the movie, he had to write a review, which was very uncomfortable.

When in Seattle, Yang Hao had been accompanying Da Mimi the whole time and didn't pay much attention to entertainment news. Now that he has returned to China and has some free time, Yang Hao discovered that "Yuzui" has become a hit.

After 72 hours of being online, the number of views of "Yuzui" exceeded 4000 million, and after 7 days of being online, the number of views exceeded 1.5 million.

And people who have watched the drama have given it very high praise. On Sohu Video, 6.8 people gave it a high score of 8.4.

The Sohu Video platform is still a little small. In the past, the data on iQiyi was much higher than that on Sohu Video.

"Yuzui" really went viral, not only making Zhang Yishan an internet sensation, but also bringing "web dramas" into the sight of major film and television production companies.

There are no secrets in the entertainment industry, and everyone can find out about the purchase contract signed between Sohu Video and "Yu Zui". 5000 million to 1 million hits is 1 million per episode, 1.5 million to 120 million hits is 5000 million per episode, and so on, every million hits will increase the price by .

According to this algorithm, the final transaction price of "Yuzui" is likely to reach three to four million per episode.

"This is a complete money-grabbing," all major film and television production companies are indignant.

They worked so hard to shoot a TV series, but the price they sold it to the TV station was only half of "Yuzui" or even less. Who would feel comfortable about this?

So all the major companies went crazy. Tangren, New Classics, Huanrui and other film and television companies were all preparing to launch online drama projects and were planning to shoot one to test the waters.

"Oh, I finally got you back, Mr. Yang." Just as Yang Hao was sitting in the office thinking, the office door was pushed open and Zhang Chaoyang walked in.

After "Yuzui" became popular, Zhang Chaoyang went to Yang Hao's house several times to meet him, but Yang Hao was always abroad. Today, when he heard that Yang Hao was back, Zhang Chaoyang ran over immediately.

"Mr. Yang, you have made a fortune from the online hits of Yuzui," Zhang Chaoyang found a chair, sat down and said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that after "Yuzui" became a hit, Sohu Video's stock price hit the daily limit for several consecutive times. You made much more money than me. You eat the meat, and I just drink some soup at most," Yang Hao joked with a smile.

"Are you interested in collaborating on another web drama?" Zhang Chaoyang continued.

Although the cost of purchasing the film for this cooperation with Yang Hao was very high, I earned more money. Driven by the interests, I naturally wanted to cooperate further.

"What about the price? Should we follow the price of "Yuzui"? " Yang Hao asked without comment.

"Haha, Mr. Yang is joking."

Yang Hao also knows that the price of online dramas will not be so high in the future. As more film and television companies enter the online drama market, the producers will enter a short period of internal competition.

But then, major video websites such as iQiyi, Tencent, Youku, etc. started a war of spending hundreds of billions of dollars, and the price of online dramas will go up again.

All Yang Hao needs to do now is wait. As long as he waits a few more months, the price of online dramas will gradually take off.

Moreover, with the historical performance of "Yuzui", Yang Hao's company will have a great advantage in negotiating prices with several major video websites.

Now the bundling with Sohu Video is totally not worth the cost.

"Mr. Zhang, when my company has online dramas in the future, as long as your price is the same as that of other video websites, I can give priority to selling them to you."

Yang Hao certainly would not want to be tied up with Zhang Chaoyang. It would be in Yang Hao's interest to get Sohu to bid together with Tencent, iQiyi, Youku and other video websites.

Although the cooperation with Zhang Chaoyang was not reached, the relationship was not damaged, and the two still said goodbye with laughter in the end.
-
"Mr. Yang, your classmates Yang Zi and Li Xian have already signed on to the company." After Zhang Chaoyang left, Yu Li happily reported the general details of the signing to Yang Hao.

Yu Li was very happy that the company had started signing artists. As long as she could make a few artists famous, her income would increase greatly.

"The company has accumulated copyrights of novels, and many scripts have already been written. Can we move forward with film and television adaptations?" Yu Li asked cautiously.
