Chapter 268 The Appointment in Xiangjiang
In fact, Zhijiang Satellite TV's initial opinion was to do it themselves. Their idea was similar to that of the later "The Voice of China", which was to let the contestants record a video sample and send it to them, and then their editors would review it and send it to the qualified contestants. The notification is equivalent to a video audition.
Sun Tao naturally disagreed. In 2003, the Internet was underdeveloped, video shooting was not popular, and a new program was not well-known. How could private experts be interested in spending money to record videos? If they were allowed to do that, they would become professionals. It’s a showdown between players.
Zhijiang Satellite TV wanted to be alone and wanted to invest a small amount of money to produce big results, but Sun Tao wanted to make the program a national sensation and become an instant hit.
In the end, Sun Tao fooled around, saying that even if the cake was tripled and Zhijiang TV cut it in half, it would be much bigger than before; not only could the risks be shared equally, but after this, Zhijiang TV would change from a small and transparent brother in Taichung to a leading big brother. Become the overlord of one party...
It is unknown what Zhijiang Satellite TV considered about Sun Tao, but in the end they agreed to Sun Tao's proposal, and that's why Liao Hua and Tao Bai are what they are today.
As for how many competition areas "China's Got Talent" is divided into and which TV station each competition area cooperates with, it depends on the coordination ability of Zhijiang TV. Sun Tao said it is useless, at least like Yanjing TV and Dragon TV. The place does not know Tori Noe TV.
……
After Liao Hua and Tao Bai introduced themselves, Sun Tao also introduced himself generously.
"Oh, hello Liao Xianfeng, hello Assistant Tao, my name is Sun Tao, and I am also a partner of "China's Got Talent", but I am not from the TV station, I am the copyright holder."
Liao Hua, "Hahaha, you really can't pick people's names randomly. I'm really doing the work of a pioneer officer now, building roads in the mountains and building bridges in the rivers... Hey, the copyright holder..."
Liao Xianfeng instantly shortened the distance between the two. Liao Hua was very happy. However, as an assistant, he had done a lot of work for this cooperation. To put it bluntly, the assistants who the leader understood should also understand, and the assistants who did not understand the leader should also understand. The assistant still needs to understand, otherwise what would the leader want the assistant to do?
Liao Hua hesitated for a moment, his head was buzzing now, Sun Tao, the copyright owner, the information shows that the copyright owner of "China's Got Talent" belongs to a company called Qingzhou Culture, the company boss is also called Sun Tao, and this Sun Tao is also a famous Sun Tao is a songwriter, and it is said that "Human World", which became a hit on the Spring Festival Gala, and "Down the Mountain" sung in the streets are all works by Sun Tao.
The boss of the company is called Sun Tao, and he will hire an assistant with the same name! ! !
Liao Hua's brain was still down, and Tao Bai, who had been silent, had already identified Sun Tao.
Sun Tao wearing Armani must be the great songwriter and songwriter Sun Tao.
Tao Bai, "You must be the songwriter of "Human World". Our whole family likes this song. Although we Hu Jianren don't watch the Spring Festival Gala very much, "Human World" is really interesting..."
Sun Tao smiled slightly and said, "Ashamed, ashamed, a fool will only succeed after all his worries."
Liao Hua, "Nana, you are the boss of the copyright owner, then why don't you, oh..."
Liao Hua suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He realized that Sun Tao was already here. This was a fait accompli. Sun Tao would definitely be embarrassed if he asked about it, but he somehow offended someone!
Sun Tao didn't care at all, "Haha, I'm different from you. You are partners. I am actually the seller. Since Zhijiang Satellite TV has given money, it is my customer. The customer is God. Even if they put me in the basement, I will not care. No complaints. Brother Liao, do you think this is the case?”
Sun Tao felt that the scene where he deliberately concealed his identity or was vague, and then pretended to show off was very LOW and very clumsy.
"Yes, that's the truth, but with your status in the industry... doing this is a bit, a bit, that."
"Hahaha, I don't have any status. I'm just a newcomer, a newcomer in the entertainment industry. Oh, stop standing at the door, come in and sit, come in and sit..."
……
The three people in 1503 started chatting casually.
In fact, if there is no conflict of interest, friendship between men is easy to establish. Talk about history, talk about international relations, talk about football, and talk about female stars.
Sun Tao didn't show off, and Liao Hua from Shu was very talkative. Gradually, even Tao Bai relaxed and began to speak freely.
He is probably younger than himself at the same age, but Tao Bai is not jealous, perhaps because there is no conflict of interest between the two, unlike a self-taught genius girl who smashed the training institution's golden sign as soon as she appeared on the scene, and the training class teacher was embarrassed. No, I have to risk my life to say that she achieved her achievements by cheating. It is obviously a struggle for interests, but it is said to maintain the purity of mathematics...
Liao Hua was still introducing them to the temperament of the deputy director. Tao Bai had already started to feel aggrieved for Hu Jian, "Oh, it's a pity that Brother Tao, you are from the north and don't understand Hokkien. I really want to ask you to write some Hokkien songs." ”
Sun Tao chuckled, "Let me ask you, Mr. Xiami... Three minutes of your life is destined to be seventy percent of hard work... A glass of wine costs two cents, why don't you come and join us every now and then? If you want to talk about love, I am the best in the world..." …”
The lyrics of the first two songs were spoken by Sun Tao, and the last one, "No. 1 in the World," was sung directly by Sun Tao in Hokkien.
Tao Bai grasped Sun Tao's hand excitedly, "Brother Tao, you can also speak Hokkien!"
Sun Tao, "Hahaha, if you say that, I can also speak Cantonese. I can also sing at least ten Cantonese songs such as "Iron Blood", "Earth", "Broad Sea and Sky" and "Like You". Anyway, there are many, and they are all learned by force. Explain Cantonese in Mandarin, just like when we learned English: the father died, the milk died, and the dog spit me."
Liao Hua, “There’s also Dad Die. Just because there was a sign saying Dad Die next to the bus, I was almost beaten to death by my old man.”
……
"The World's Best" Sun Tao had a colleague of Hu Jian when he was working. He often sang in KTV, and Sun Tao became good at it after listening to it too much.
Tao Bai also laughed, but then he lamented, "The Hokkien language is declining, let alone you foreigners, even many of our local children can't speak dialects now."
Sun Tao's heart moved, and he remembered a Hokkien song "Datian Descendants". This song is in Mandarin mixed with Hokkien and has been popular on the Internet for a while.
There are many milk tea shops on the roadside at Dongjiekou
My post-2000s classmate can’t speak dialect
There are only a few days of happiness in a person's life (in Hokkien, Zhelangjiaxilang, hurry up and wave for strength)
A big road is divided into two sides, whichever way you want to go (in Hokkien, this road covers two sides, and there are two sides)
This song should be from around 2020. Because he had the experience of singing Hokkien songs before, Sun Tao also specially studied the lyrics, and he can still remember the lyrics and music roughly.
……
A dragon swims in the shallow water and is teased by a shrimp; a tiger falls down and is bullied by a dog.
According to the general plot of film and television dramas, Sun Tao should be ostracized, ridiculed, and stepped down by the assistants and secretaries of various partners in Hanting... In fact, this is all to slander the grassroots employees, who have received nine years of compulsory education. The assistant secretaries are not shady. If there is no conflict of interest, why would anyone offend a down-and-out boss? Their brains are filled with water? ? ?
In fact, after hearing the news from Liao Hua that Sun Tao lived in 1503, the 9 people who lived on this floor came to pay homage to the dock one after another and denounced Zhijiang TV for being inhumane!
[What kind of hospitality is this from Zhijiang Satellite TV? It’s obviously just looking down upon others. 】
[Mr. Sun, please remember my phone number. When you come to our Mango, we will definitely arrange the highest-end hotel. I, (papapa) promise to accompany you throughout the whole process, so that you can feel what hospitality is. Feel at home. 】
[Mr. Sun, your name is Brother Tao. Brother Tao, when you come to our Yingtan area, we will definitely weigh in on Brother Tao's ability to drink. 】
[Why do we have to wait until we go to Yingtan? It’s better to meet by chance than to invite us. Our Huizhou is the closest to here, so I pretended to be the host. It happened that there were ten of us at the same table. I acted as the host and we will have a dinner tonight. Only when you are drunk can you rest. 】【It’s hard to get some rest after getting drunk. We are all low-level workers. 】
[Hey, the meeting won’t be until tomorrow, and the principals won’t be able to come over until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. They still can’t wake up after 12 hours! 】
[What is the rightful owner? Old Wu, you made a mistake. Is Mr. Sun not the rightful owner? 】
Older people (over 40) are all called Sun Tao: Mr. Sun.
Young people under the age of 30 are all called Sun Tao: Brother Tao.
As for those aged between 30 and 40, it depends on themselves.
Sun Tao chuckled, "It's really not good to drink. The reason why I came so early is because I have other things to do in Hangzhou. I just dropped in to attend the meeting with Zhijiang TV. I will go to Wulinmen and Xiangjiang Publishing House tomorrow morning. Meet the people from the department.”
Xiangjiang, since its return in 1997, has gradually become more and more unofficial, and it is no longer as mysterious as before. However, as an important part of Asia's economy and culture before 2000, it still holds great weight in the hearts of mainlanders.
I heard that Sun Tao had an appointment with someone from Xiangjiang, someone from the Publishing House. He sounded very high-class at first glance, and everyone was even more in awe of Sun Tao!
……
Sun Tao felt helpless at this reaction, but as someone who had experienced it, he could face it calmly.
After all, everything has to go through a process, and there is also a process for mainlanders to look up to Hong Kong and Taiwan, to look down upon them, and finally to look down on them.
After his rebirth, Sun Tao carefully reviewed the relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places for the first time he dealt with Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Speaking of the mainland and Hong Kong alone, the relationship from 1997 to 2014 was still very good, especially the financial crisis in 2008. Without the support of the motherland, Supported, Hong Kong's economy collapsed at that time.
In fact, the most important reason for the change in mentality in Hong Kong and Taiwan is that the mainland has become more and more developed.
When the mainland was still poor and weak, not only Hong Kong and Taiwan, but also all "civilized countries and regions" were willing to show off their superiority and gentlemanly demeanor in front of the mainland.
But after we caught up and gradually overtook them, these people's mentality became unbalanced. My poor relatives in the past drove Land Rover, and I was still taking the No. 11 bus. Who can calm down? But when we left them farther and farther away, they Just slowly accept the reality and stop making noise.
……
[Hey, Mr. Sun, are you going to enter the Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television circles? 】
[Nonsense, Sun is always a songwriter. He must be writing songs when he enters Hong Kong and Taiwan. 】
[Hahaha, what level of information do you have? Brother Tao has been filming movies since the Chinese New Year. His good friends Sun Nan and Na Ying also made guest appearances in the movie. This has been reported on the Internet...]
< br>
[Oh, Brother Tao, you want to be a film and television singing star. 】
Sun Tao, "Haha, what about the film and television song Sanqi? In fact, I wrote several novels. They came here to talk to me about film and television dramas and comic book adaptations."
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Sun Tao must have cheated. He is a technical secondary school student who writes songs, composes, does variety shows, and makes movies. Now he is actually writing novels! ! !
If he didn't cheat, I'd bet 5 million!
Sun Tao is not someone who hides things, "In fact, I also wrote the script for the movie "Charlotte Trouble" I made."
Everyone: Let’s leave, let’s leave, I don’t want to see him show off anymore!
Tao Bai: Ah, you are indeed the person I admire at first sight. I have such a good eye for judging people!
Sun Tao, "I will meet with people from the Xiangjiang Publishing Office tomorrow. I will have a meeting the day after tomorrow. I also have to meet with producer Zhang Jizhong the day after tomorrow. He is filming "Dragon Babu" and will shoot a few more scenes by the West Lake on the weekend. Invite me to watch the finished film. I wrote a theme song for a TV series and so on...
In fact, I really want to have a good drink with everyone, but I just can’t schedule it right now..."
Everyone: Well, go ahead. If there is anything else, tell us together. We are all paralyzed anyway.
[Hahahaha, Mr. Sun, please don’t frame me. I read in my qualifications that if you are ranked among the top 20 out of 50 in each division, you have to travel around. 】
[Yes, yes, Brother Tao, hurry up, leave your contact information, QQ number is not acceptable, you have to tell me your mobile phone number. 】
Tao Bai, "Yes, Brother Tao, when you come to Huzhou, I will teach you the authentic Hokkien dialect, and I will wait for you to write songs in Hokkien for us."
Sun Tao hesitated for a moment, "Well, brothers, please don't give my mobile phone number to outsiders. I usually tell others the landline number of my studio..."
[Oh, Mr. Sun, just give it a hundred, no, ten thousand hearts. Even our station director, I won’t tell him. 】
[Yes, Brother Tao, please keep it in your heart. We won’t give your mobile phone number to others without having our heads wet. 】
——
I heard that Sun Tao had an important date tomorrow morning and no one would organize a drinking party anymore, giving Sun Tao a quiet space.
In the evening, only Tao Bai and Liao Hua accompanied Sun Tao to eat some dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage at the nearby Northeast Dumpling House.
In the evening, Sun Tao received three calls in total.
The first call was from Li Xiaojun. She looked up the previous cooperation records between Xiangjiang and the mainland, and provided Sun Tao with a rough quotation range for film and television dramas and comic adaptations.
The second one was from Sun Tao to Zhao Jian, the deputy director of "Dragon Movie";
The last one was called to Qi Jinhua, and Sun Tao truthfully explained his schedule for the past few days.
A night of silence.
Thursday, April 16, 2003.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, Sun Tao had just walked into the cafeteria of the Express Hotel. The assistants and secretaries who had just arrived at midnight last night had just taken out their business cards and wanted to come over to pay homage to the dock. Sun Tao suddenly answered a phone call and left the hotel.
Everyone opened the windows and saw Sun Tao getting into a Porsche and driving away...
Sun Tao didn't ask Qi Jinhua where he was going. When he woke up in the morning, Sun Tao suddenly thought of 2008, the financial crisis that swept the world, and the commercial properties that were sold at cabbage prices.
There are still five years left, enough for Sun Tao to prepare!
