Chapter 1805 A New TV Show Worth 10 Million Yuan!

The next day…

“Beep, beep, beep…”

At eight o’clock in the morning, Fang Qiu arrived outside the school. When he was having breakfast at a street stall, his cell phone suddenly rang.

He took it out and had a look.

It was a call from Liu Qingshi.

“Hello.”

Fang Qiu immediately picked up the phone.

“Where are you now?”

The familiar voice of Liu Qingshi was heard from the other end of the line.

“I’m in Jiangjing.”

Fang Qiu answered naturally.

“I’m asking about your specific location. I’ve arrived at your school with the leader of our TV station. We’d like to discuss with you about the new show you’re going to do.”

Liu Qingshi said.

“Have you arrived at the school?”

Fang Qiu was stunned.

“Yes, we have.”

Liu Qingshi grinned and said, “We are standing at the gate of your school right now. Yesterday, the leader of our TV station heard that you were going to do a show about the popularization of Chinese Medicine, so he immediately pulled me along and headed straight to Jiangjing. I wanted to call you, but he stopped me. He insisted on coming to talk to you in person to show his sincerity.”

“Well, I’m on the snack street not far from the school. You turn right from the school gate, then walk along the street till the end, and then turn left. I’ll wait for you here.”

Fang Qiu said.

Of course…

There must be a special car to send Liu Qingshi and the leader of their TV station here.

Therefore, instead of Fang Qiu going for them, it was better to let them come for him. Besides, it was inconvenient to talk in school. It happened that there were many restaurants on this street, so it was not difficult to find one to sit and have a talk.

“Okay, we are on the way.”

Liu Qingshi responded and then hung up the phone.

On the street…

Fang Qiu put away his cell phone and went straight to the most luxurious restaurant he was familiar with. He reserved a private room and then stood at the door, waiting for Liu Qingshi.

In just a few minutes…

A van stopped in front of Fang Qiu. Liu Qingshi and a middle-aged man got out of the van.

“Let’s go in first.”

Fang Qiu greeted them with a smile. They went into the restaurant and quickly came to the private room.

“I’ve ordered breakfast. If you need anything else, just tell me.”

After entering the private room, Fang Qiu invited them to have seats.

“Please allow me to introduce you first.”

Liu Qingshi smiled and pointed to the middle-aged man who came in with him, and introduced, “This is the leader of Zhongzhou TV Station.”

“I am Qiao Hua.”

The middle-aged man immediately reached out to Fang Qiu and said with a smile, “I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Fang Qiu shook his head. After shaking hands with Qiao Hua, he hurriedly invited Qiao Hua to have a seat before he sat down. Fang Qiu said, “It’s time for breakfast. I’ve ordered some special local breakfast in Jiangjing. They will be served soon. We can talk while eating.”

“This won’t do. This meal should be on me.”

Qiao Hua said.

“It’s my treat.”

Liu Qingshi stood up and was about to go out to pay the bill.

“I’ve already paid the bill.”

Fang Qiu added with a smile, “There’s no need to be so polite, as we’re friends.”

Without other choices…

Liu Qingshi had to sit down with a wry smile.

When Liu Qingshi just sat down, the breakfast ordered by Fang Qiu was served on the table.

Looking at the wonderful breakfast on the table, Liu Qingshi started to eat with a good appetite, and so did Fang Qiu.

Seeing that…

Qiao Hua started eating quickly.

Qiao Hua and Liu Qingshi had been traveling all day without eating anything tasty, and now they were hungry.

“Here’s the thing.”

As Qiao Hua ate, he said to Fang Qiu, “Our TV station values the show you are going to do very much. As soon as I saw your updated Weibo, I immediately set off and headed here to let you know our sincerity. If you have any conditions, please feel free to tell me. As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, any problems won’t be a problem.”

Hearing that…

Fang Qiu smiled.

He thought, “Well, Qiao Hua is decisive. He got straight to the point.”

But Fang Qiu knew very well.

Now all the major TV stations were very anxious to confirm with him for the cooperation of this show in advance, so there was no time for idle talk at all.

Then…

Liu Qingshi said, “Fang Qiu, you participated in our show before, so you have some understanding of our working attitude. Today, I’m here to lead the way only, hoping you can take our TV station into consideration. I can assure you that there is absolutely no problem with the production and manpower for this show. I won’t say anything extra. After all, it’s your show, and you should have thought about it more comprehensively than us.”

After saying that…

Liu Qingshi continued to eat.

“Hmm.”

Fang Qiu nodded knowingly and said, “Actually, I don’t think much about it. It mainly depends on you.”

“Oh?”

Qiao Hua put the dim sum in his hand on his plate and wiped his mouth with the napkin. Then he looked at Fang Qiu seriously and asked, “What do you mean?”

“I haven’t communicated with other TV stations in detail about this matter yet. Originally, I didn’t intend to do in-depth communication. Since Brother Liu came to me in person, I think it’s necessary to make things clear to you.”

Fang Qiu said, “Actually, the show I plan to do is not to popularize the knowledge of Chinese Medicine at all, but to use various data to crack down on fake health products. As I mentioned on my Weibo, this show will have a total of six episodes, in which I will inspect all the health products all over Huaxia, one by one.”

As soon as Fang Qiu finished speaking…

Qiao Hua and Liu Qingshi were immediately stunned.

“Wh… Really?”

Liu Qingshi widened his eyes and stared at Fang Qiu, asking, “Are you going to do a combating fake goods show and start a fight with the health products companies on TV?”

“That’s right.”

Fang Qiu nodded affirmatively and said, “Before I posted the Weibo that was going to do a show, I had posted another Weibo, saying that I was ready to start a fight.”

“Have you thought of the consequences of doing such a show?”

Qiao Hua asked.

“Yes, I have.”

Fang Qiu nodded affirmatively and said, “Since I have decided to crack down on fake goods, I have the guts to do it. If you want my show, it depends on whether your TV station dares to play with me together or not.”

“To be honest, I admire your courage very much.”

Qiao Hua said with a shocked and wry smile, and then added, “However, this type of show is too targeted. If you like, our TV station can assist you. But before the show starts, we will issue a statement that the content of the show has nothing to do with our TV station.”

“No problem.”

Fang Qiu immediately nodded.

He knew that all the major TV stations were afraid of getting into trouble.

Fang Qiu had thought this through earlier.

If he told them all the facts, there would not be a few TV stations that dared to take this show.

Nevertheless…

From the current negotiation situation, Zhongzhou TV Station seemed to be a good option.

“Okay, then!”

Qiao Hua immediately nodded and said, “Let’s not talk about the nature and content of the show for the moment. Now we have to talk about the buyout price of the show.”

Speaking of this…

Qiao Hua immediately laughed and said, “Although the appearance of this show is very likely to have a great impact on public opinion, it also makes it appear that this show has a very high buyout value.”

“I’m not short of money.”

Fang Qiu said with a smile, “But if I don’t charge some, it will appear that your TV station is not sincere enough. If it is known by outside, the reputation of your TV station will be affected.”

“You’re right.”

Qiao Hua nodded in agreement and said, “You name a price, please.”

“Three million yuan for six episodes.”

Fang Qiu didn’t hesitate and said, “Half a million yuan per episode. That’s almost enough.”

“I’ll offer you 10 million yuan.”

Qiao Hua shook his head and said, “You may have some misunderstandings about your market value. The name of Fang Qiu alone is worth three million yuan. Moreover, there are six episodes in total. Ten million yuan is already less than a fair price. If it’s lower, I’m afraid people will talk.”

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded and said, “Ten million yuan, deal!”

“We have a pleasant talk, but I have to restate that this is an all-around buyout.”

Qiao Hua said, “The content and the core values of the whole show have nothing to do with our TV station. From the day the contract is signed, all the copyrights of this show belong to Zhongzhou TV station, and so do all the profits. These terms will be highlighted at the time of signing the contract.”

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded to show that he understood.

“Next, let’s talk about the time when this show will be aired. Do you have a favorite time slot”

Qiao Hua asked.

“I hope to air it at eight o’clock every Sunday evening.”

Fang Qiu said.

“The prime time slot?”

Qiao Hua raised his eyebrows.

The ratings at this time were the highest. Most people would rest at home and watch TV on Sunday evenings, as they had to get up early to work the next day. Therefore, eight o’clock on Sunday evening had always been recognized as the prime time slot in the industry.

“Yes.”

Fang Qiu nodded and said, “My original intention of doing this show is to let more people watch it, so I must choose the period with the highest ratings.”

“This should be no problem.”

Qiao Hua pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll negotiate the time with the board of directors as soon as I go back.”

“Thank you.”

Fang Qiu nodded.

Following that, Fang Qiu and Qiao Hua discussed and confirmed all the details of the contract.

After that, Fang Qiu saw them off.

Not long after…

Zhongzhou TV Station officially issued an announcement.

“Our station has already signed the contract with Fang Qiu for his new show. The show will officially start live streaming on Sunday. No pre-taping, the show AIRS at 8 p.m. on Sunday, so stay tuned!”

As soon as this announcement was released…

It was reposted by numerous people on Weibo quickly.

Seeing this post…

The netizens were all excited.

“Great! Zhongzhou TV deserves to be one of the top three entertainment TV stations in Huaxia. It is really at high efficiency.”

“Live streaming? That is to say, we can see Fang Qiu on TV this Sunday night, right?”

“That’s it. Legendary Fang Qiu’s show doesn’t need pre-taping. The livestream is the most awesome!”

…

At the same time…

People from other TV stations were dumbfounded upon seeing the announcement.

No one had expected Zhongzhou TV Station to be so efficient. In the blink of an eye, they had signed a contract with Fang Qiu for his new show.
