Animation production costs are very high.
The cost of animation per minute can be as low as several thousand yuan, as high as tens of thousands of yuan, or even higher.
Of course, except for those cartoons that are very rough.
The cost of Qinghe Animation to produce "Transformers" is about 1 yuan per minute, and the production cost of one episode is about 50 yuan.
The price Li Han sells to domestic TV stations is almost 15 yuan per episode.
The price is not low.Just by selling cartoons, Li Han has doubled his money.
Generally speaking, the main income of cartoons is often not from selling cartoons themselves, but from various derivative products in the later stage.
Now Jared is bidding 12 an episode, which is actually not a low price.
However, what he wants to buy now is "Transformers", which is a bit low.
Of course, this does not mean that Jared is not sincere enough.
If it is a cartoon of another company, the price is actually considered high.
No way, the current TV stations are very powerful.They tend to keep the prices of cartoons pretty low.
Therefore, it is very difficult for current cartoons to recover their costs simply by selling them to TV stations.
Of course, except for Li Han's cartoons.
The TV station dare not lower the price of Li Han's animation.
It's just that Li Han himself didn't sell at a high price.
If he wants to sell at a high price, there will definitely be a TV station willing to buy an episode of 20 or 30.
Therefore, Jared thought that the price he gave was enough to make Li Han very excited.
For one thing, the price is indeed not low.
Second, he is the Languo Hughton TV station.A big TV station in Languo wants to buy it, and it's a very face-saving thing to spread the news, isn't it.
So, Jared has a winning chance.
Chapter 966
But unfortunately, he was wrong.
The price he gave was lower than what Li Han sold to domestic TV stations. How could Li Han sell it?
Li Han smiled and said, "I believe that Mr. Jared is sincere enough. However, the price is too low."
Jared nodded and said, "I wonder what Mr. Li Han's ideal price is?"
Jared's quotation is not the final price that can be tolerated, and it can still be increased appropriately.
Business is all negotiated.
Li Han said: "25 episodes."
This is the price in Li Han's heart.The price is high, but not outrageously high.
If it is sold to a foreign TV station for less than this price, Li Han feels a little sorry for this classic work in his previous life.
And the price shocked Jared a lot.
His highest budget price is 16 an episode, which is way too much now.
Jared said: "Mr. Li Han, isn't the price too high? Mr. Li Han's cartoon is broadcast on our Hughton TV station. If it gets out, it will be a very embarrassing thing for Mr. Li Han. Isn't it?"
Li Han said: "I am really honored that your TV station is willing to introduce "Transformers". It is indeed very embarrassing when the news spreads. However, the price of a good work will naturally not be low. Trust Jerry Mr. De can understand."
Jared said: "The price of a good work will naturally not be low, but 25 an episode is really too expensive. I really can't accept this price."
Li Han said: "If that's the case, then I can only say that I am very sorry."
Jared was slightly taken aback, the other party really didn't want to lower the price at all?
At the same time, I don't quite understand it.If what Gong Zhangming said is correct, the other party should not be short of money!
Why is it that now for three or four million yuan, they don't even want the face-saving thing of being bought by their Hughton TV station?
Jared frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Li Han must sell at this price?"
Li Han said: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Jared. This price is indeed my lowest price. I believe it must be worth this price. If Mr. Jared buys it, he will definitely not regret it."
Jared was silent.
25 episodes, a total of 35 million for 875 episodes.
For the Hughton TV station, this price is actually nothing more than a trivial matter.
But the price is too much higher than my heart, which is a bit unacceptable.
Moreover, if the news spreads among the domestic TV stations, it will most likely be ridiculed by other TV stations.
Laugh at them for being taken advantage of.
You know, Hughton TV, as the fifth largest TV station, doesn't need to spend a lot of money to buy cartoons.
The most expensive cartoon they introduced is only 10 an episode, and it is also 25 minutes an episode.
Some animation companies don't even ask for money, and show them cartoons for free.
They made the cartoon popular, so that the animation company can make money through other later derivative products.
In fact, this is how many animation companies survive.
Well, if they really paid 25 an episode to buy a cartoon in Yanguo, the other major TV stations would naturally laugh at them crazily.
In fact, even if they pay 16 an episode, or even 12 an episode, other TV stations will laugh at them.
Said they were bullshit.
Yan Guo's cartoons were given to them to show, and they all looked down on them. Hughton TV station even paid 12 episodes to buy them. Are you out of your mind?
This is conceivable.
This is actually one of the reasons why Barris objected so much.
But the price of 16 episodes, the degree of ridicule received, after all, is much lighter than 25 episodes.
Jared was silent, and Li Han didn't bother, waiting patiently for Jared's answer.
Gong Zhangming didn't speak either.
He has not spoken since the negotiation between the two began.
It was inconvenient for him to participate in the negotiation between the two, he just watched quietly.
After a while, Jared finally said: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Li Han, I can't make a decision at the moment, I need some time to think about it."
Li Han nodded and said: "That's natural. It doesn't matter how long Mr. Jared thinks about. Moreover, if Mr. Jared is willing, I can accompany Mr. Jared for a walk in the village. Mr. Jared can take a walk while walking , while thinking about it."
A visitor is a visitor, regardless of whether Jared will choose to buy it in the end?Li Han is willing to receive warmly.
Jared thought for a while and said, "That's fine. Then I'll trouble Mr. Li Han."
Gong Zhangming described this place in a miraculous way, but Jared has always been curious and wanted to take a look.
Now that Li Han said this again, let's go to the village to have a look first.
Li Han smiled and said, "Mr. Jared is polite, it's my honor."
Li Han, Jared, and Gong Zhangming walked out of the farm office building.
There are beautiful scenery everywhere in the village, and there are a lot of tourists, which makes Jared even unbelievable.
On the farm, Jared tasted some ingredients that could be eaten raw, and was shocked.
He couldn't believe that there were ingredients with such a good taste in the world.
If these ingredients are shipped back to their country of Lan to sell, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.
Every dish made with these ingredients is gourmet.
Tingxi Corridor was also shocked by what he saw.
It's all so incredible.
Jared finally believed what Gong Zhangming said about the village.
He finally began to think that the young man in Yan Kingdom in front of him was really not simple.
His reputation in Yan Country should be really, really big.
Perhaps, in the near future, he will also have international fame.
He is still too young, he still has too much time.
Jared felt more and more that Li Han was a bit mysterious.
Suddenly, he said: "Mr. Li Han, I have decided. I agree to buy the copyright of "Transformers" broadcast on my station at the price Mr. Li Han said."
"Huh?" Li Han was a little surprised.He looked very hesitant before, why did he suddenly decide?
Li Han said: "Mr. Jared, don't you think about it for a while?"
Jared shook his head and said, "I don't think about it. Mr. Li Han, I hope we can sign the contract as soon as possible."
Jared is actually not completely sure, is his decision right?
But he felt it should be right.
He is also a man of courage.
Li Han smiled and said, "We can go to the office to sign the contract now. I don't think Mr. Jared will regret it."
Jared also smiled and said, "I don't think I will regret it either."
Gong Zhangming said: "Jared, I think you have indeed made a correct decision."
Jared laughed, "I think so too."
Then next, the three returned to the farm office building.
Li Han and Jared formally signed the contract.
Languo Hughton TV station purchased the rights to broadcast the first season of "Transformers" with a total of 25 episodes at a price of 35 yuan per episode.
Chapter 967 This Operation Is Absurd
After signing the contract, Li Han, Jared, and Gong Zhangming visited the village again.
At this time, Jared was in a better mood than before, and he looked very interested in everything he saw.
At noon, Li Han naturally invited the two of them to dinner.
Jared, who is used to eating western food, was full of praise for the food on the table, even calling it delicious.
When the ingredients themselves are good enough, all other problems are no longer a problem.
After eating, Jared also expressed his desire to visit the Nine Dragon Gorge.
Li Han accompanied him naturally, and when they reached the ferry by the river, they shook a bamboo raft and carried Jared and Gong Zhangming slowly towards Jiulong Gorge.
Along the way, Jared naturally praised and sighed in various ways.
The beauty of the scenery along the way far exceeded his imagination.
When I returned to the village after turning around the Jiulong Gorge, it was already late.
At the ferry, Jared asked Li Han curiously, where is the place going upstream along the river?Is the scenery also very beautiful?
Li Han said that the scenery traveling upstream is completely different from the scenery traveling downstream.
Walking upstream for [-] to [-] kilometers, you will begin to enter a very wide area of primitive jungle.
When Jared heard about the virgin forest, he immediately became very interested, and even asked Li Han if he could go to the virgin forest for a walk?
Li Han said that he can move around the jungle at most, but not go deep into the jungle, because it is too dangerous inside.
Li Han is now a bold and skilled person, with top-notch skills and a mysterious space for holding things.
He dared to go deep into the jungle alone.But he will not lead others to go deep, and he will warn others not to go deep.
At the same time, the village also prohibits tourists from entering the jungle.
