Chapter 289 Buyout


"China's Got Talent" is in full swing, and it has become a national topic just after the May Day holiday. Sun Tao's popularity has also increased, but others have become invisible.

……

May 9, 2003, Friday, four o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature was 20~31 and sunny.

Hangzhou, Moganshan Road, Zhijiang Media Center, conference room on the 17th floor, central air-conditioning quietly delivers air-conditioning. If you turn your head and look out of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can vaguely see Su Causeway, Baidi and Leifeng Tower.

A group of TV station bosses sat in a circle. Shi Zhen stood at one end of the conference room, pointing at the projector screen and reporting to the bosses the ratings from various places.

"We won't talk about Wu'an here. The place is too small and has no reference value..."

[Hahahaha, the 95% ratings look fake to everyone. When our report is published, a large number of people may not only not believe it but come to question us. 】

[Needless to say, it will definitely come and it will annoy you to death. We used to be dismissive of several channels when we contacted them, but now they are still unconvinced. If you want to report a 95% ratings, they will swarm around like flies. We still have one more thing to worry about. It's better to have one less thing to do. 】

The man in a suit sitting in the stone town looked around, the discussion stopped suddenly, and he said calmly: "Old Shi, you can continue."

Seokjin, "Oh, okay, from May 1st to yesterday, it was exactly one week. The average ratings of Jichun Channel were 8%, and the ratings were a very obvious upward trend from 5% on the first day. As of yesterday’s statistics of 11%; Southeast Channel..."

After speaking, Shi Zhen turned to look at everyone, "This is a horizontal comparison. I also have ratings comparisons with other satellite TVs and a comparison table of all popular variety shows over the years. Let's first look at the comparison with other brother satellite TVs."

The man in a suit knocked on the table lightly, "Lao Shi, please wait a moment."

He turned to look at the deputy director Liu Zhengbo on his left, "Old Liu, you are taking all the credit this time. 8%, even if it drops slightly later to 5%, it should be no problem. A solid third It is a hit program and has achieved unprecedented success since we established the station. To be honest, I was not very optimistic about this program at first.”

Liu Zhengbo smiled and said politely: "I also sought medical treatment in a hurry. At that time, I was watching the "Wu'an Talent Show" with good ratings. I wanted to just calm down and rush for it, but I just missed the mark."

A middle-aged woman opposite smiled slightly and said, "Old Liu, please stop being modest. It is no longer a question of whether this show is popular or not. People on the Internet now use the word 'explosion' to describe "Talent Show". It is a phenomenal variety show. An epic variety show, haha. When I went to the ministry for a meeting, even Wu from CCTV chased me and asked... I told him that I am not responsible for variety shows either..."

Each deputy director has his or her own scope of authority. Although there are sometimes overlaps between programs, there are generally boundaries. For example, Liu Zhengbo is mainly responsible for variety shows, while the woman opposite is mainly responsible for TV series. The deputy director who started was in charge of news, and someone else was in charge of sports...

These people must be at least Da Luo Jinxian level in the entertainment industry. They can easily turn things upside down, and can decide someone's "life or death" with just one sentence. However, they are not accessible to the grassroots. Those who deal with entertainment companies are usually their subordinates. Agent...

Except for these three people, no one else spoke, because it was obvious that the director's tone was not pure praise.

For a time, everyone’s CPU was almost burned out:

The director of the station is 54 this year, and deputy director Liu is 46. Does this mean that he has achieved great success?

Wang Tai 54, at his level, retirement is not the only way. If the talent show continues to be popular until the end, he will have the opportunity to go further, hiss ~ weird.

Oh, has Director Liu offended someone...or is there some big shot coming to pick peaches...

Wang Dong didn't let everyone guess for too long, he said "Zhi". Most people think that big shots should sit upright, stand upright, and watch the wolves. In fact, in private, especially in their own one-third of an acre of land, they are as comfortable as they want.

"Squeak, Lao Liu, things are good, but we have not maximized our interests!"

Wang Dong knocked on the table lightly, "Advertisements, sponsorships, alas, we sold them too cheaply, and now you see, the show is popular, how many people know that we are in charge of this matter???" < br>


Someone below immediately echoed: "What the director said is that we have to think about the details. My suggestion is to extend the duration of the finals..."

"No, it will appear top-heavy and uncoordinated. Why don't we start changing the competition system now? I think if we add a link, let other competition regions compete with each other before the finals. The winner will get 110 points and the loser will get 90 points. …”

"..."

Seeing that they were getting more excited as they talked, Liu Zhengbo coughed twice, "Ahem, don't think about the competition system. The copyright of "China's Got Talent" belongs to Qingzhou Culture Company. The agreement stipulates that the competition system It must be in accordance with their requirements, and any changes to the schedule must be negotiated by both parties.”

Wang Dong leaned back and said, "This is what I'm most worried about. I asked Lao Liu to show me the original copy of the agreement yesterday. We signed a two-year contract. Two years. Just this year. The show has been so popular since the beginning...

I heard that some of our partners have begun to have other ideas. The last time Sun Tao came to attend a meeting, who arranged for him to be sent to Hanting, with his brain connected to the faucet? ? ? ”

[What's going on? Why did the station director bring up this matter? 】

[When Liu Tai and Sun Tao signed the agreement, it was stipulated that the copyright holder was still the coordinator of the event. He had to go everywhere by himself to ensure that the competition system and schedule did not deviate. He arrived in Fengtian on May 1st and heard that the director of the station would accompany him. We had dinner together and were given a Hilton VIP suite in the evening...】

[He arrived in Xiangjiang yesterday and heard that he was staying at the Sheraton Resort Hotel, not only the TV station but also local old artists...]

【oh! He is always treated as a distinguished guest in other places, so let’s let him stay in an express hotel! ! ! 】

[Well, yes, I can’t figure out who arranged the reception at that time? 】

[This is Zheng Shu, deputy director of the Logistics Department. The original Lao Yu will retire in July. Now he is basically half-retired and is no longer in charge. Zheng Shu has always been acting as an agent. 】

[Hehehe, that’s it. 】

At this point, no one is talking about it anymore. The logistics department cannot be used by anyone other than close associates. Zheng Shu is 90% not the director of the station or is disliked by his superiors for some reason. The leader has brought out all his faults and ordered them to follow suit. That's it.

Wang Dong did not immediately name the person responsible. He skipped the topic and did not mention it.

"Old Liu, you have to find a way to contact Sun Tao and see if you can buy out the copyright." (End of Chapter)
