Before Sun Tao appeared, domestic variety shows were still of the type such as "Zhengda Variety Show", "Weekend Happy Encounter", "Entertainment Unlimited", and "The More You Play, the Happier". The program formats were the same, with two hosts and several guests. Chatting and bickering with everyone and performing a few shows, it's just that the guests invited in each episode are different.
Since Sun Tao, domestic entertainment has advanced from interviews to auditions and competitions. In 2004, Mango Channel launched "Super Girl", which was unanimously recognized by all media as an inferior imitation of "China's Got Talent".
Sun Tao's talent show covers everything from singing, dancing, magic, acrobatics, and even supernatural powers. Mango Channel can only sing and has gender restrictions...
Pooh!
Low level!
Hot chicken, no creativity...
Some people criticized it, but in fact, more people ignored Super Girl. In fact, Mango Channel itself even wondered whether they should continue to produce "Super Girl". In 2005, Sun Tao also wanted to produce "Super Girl" before the Spring Festival had just begun. In the singing competition "The Voice of China", Mango Channel simply wants to change the track.
In fact, the details of Sun Tao's previous variety shows were very loose and were left to the TV stations to play freely. But the world is like this, and the world has always been like this.
A hero is judged by his success or failure!
Sun Tao's programs have high ratings, good reputation, and great influence. He was vague because he didn't want to reveal the core secrets. He broke it apart and crushed it because he was either worried about the quality of his partners or he was very satisfied with the conditions of the partners.
Liu Wenjie was a little surprised by Sun Tao's attitude. After all, Sun Tao had communicated with TV station executives in the past, but Liu Wenjie felt that it was because of his personal appearance that he won Sun Tao's favor.
Liu Wenjie: Look at our influence. You all say that Sun Tao doesn't want to talk to others. Whoever he cooperates with is my attitude. It's up to you whether you want to buy it or not. Come and see. I'll sit here and he will break up. Crush it into pieces and explain it in detail to the people below.
……
The two parties quickly reached a basic consensus after simple communication.
Qingzhou Culture and Jichun Satellite TV jointly completed the production and promotion of "The Voice of China". Jichun Satellite TV released a trailer, while Qingzhou Group used Weibo to promote the program, and Haitang.com will also be the designated third party for "The Voice of China" Two official registration agencies...
With the consensus reached, today's meeting between Sun Tao and Liu Wenjie is over. The remaining specific operational details are the matter of Xu Youwei and Editor-in-Chief Xu.
Liu Wenjie is the deputy director of the station. He will leave first after the discussion here.
Sun Tao didn't want to get involved in the subsequent details. People need to be self-aware, and he was definitely not as good as Tang Lei in negotiating.
Sun Tao and Qi Jinhua sent Liu Wenjie downstairs together. The three of them stood in the middle of the elevator. Director Liu's secretary stood leaning on the buttons to minimize her presence.
The cooperation was pleasant and both parties were in a good mood. After a while of business exchanges, the conversation turned to the main topic.
In fact, Liu Wenjie and the title sponsor Maoniu Group have long been discussing with Sun Tao the candidates for mentors, including Sun Nan, Na Ying, Liu Huan (the second choice is Wang Leehom), and Liang Jingru (the second choice is Tanya Tanya), but there has been no one from Liu Huan and Liang Jingru. Finalized.
……
Liu Wenjie's tone was slightly worried, "Actually, about Liu Huan, well, you know that many Northeastern people don't like him because of the song "Start Over", and many people don't like Huang Hong either. MD sang a high-profile song on the Spring Festival Gala: If I don't get laid off, who will get laid off? Bah! In general, people don't dare to speak out, but privately they are scolding them. If they really want to hire him, he is not as good as Wang Leehom, who is young and handsome.
Of course, I also understand that his status in this music world is obvious. Haha, I'm just talking nonsense. You are the authority in this area and you must have weighed it. ”
Sun Tao smiled and said, "Liu Huan really can't come. I also talked to him on the phone. He seemed to be a little worried that the show would be too vulgar and affect his personality and reputation. When he said this, I didn't try to persuade him anymore. After reading it, Is there any chance to cooperate? When the audience needs something fresh..."
Liu Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, that's right. Hey, what about Leehom Wang?" "In general, he has no problem, but we have to talk about the details. In terms of appearance fees, Na Ying and Sun Nan both earn 3 million per season. But Wang Leehom wants 1 million US dollars, which is almost 8 million in conversion, and there are also a lot of requirements for accommodation and reception
Oh, Liang Jingru is very easy to talk to, and she is willing to compare herself to Na Ying and the others..."
Liu Wenjie laughed, "I understand this. You gave her the song "Unfortunately It's Not You", right? I will tell Lao Xu that I won't let you suffer."
Sun Tao smiled faintly and said, "I am just the contact person. You have to finalize the follow-up details with them. If it is higher or lower, it depends on the level of negotiation."
Liu Wenjie glanced at Sun Tao and said firmly: "That's not possible. We will definitely not bargain anymore. Why don't we adjust you? We have a villa in Nanhu for accommodation. The driver and security will definitely meet the requirements. Their worth..."
Watching Liu Wenjie exit the revolving door, Qi Jinhua turned to look at Sun Tao, "I feel like you have changed a lot after a year."
Sun Tao laughed and said, "Have you become handsome again?"
"More stable and more confident."
Sun Taoxin said: Of course, I feel more confident.
Sun Tao smiled slightly and said, "Same for you."
Qi Jinhua pouted, "Am I older?"
——
The talks lasted for three days, and Qingzhou Culture reached the largest deal since its establishment.
Jishi Media will purchase the rights to the three seasons of "The Voice of China" at a basic price of 50 million, on the condition that the average ratings of the three seasons of "The Voice of China" cannot be less than 6%, and the final cost will increase or decrease based on this rating.
Qingzhou Culture was elated about this result, and there was no pressure on Jishi Media. According to Liu Wenjie, their estimated production fee (including the instructor's appearance fee) should not exceed 100 million, but the amount of advertising sponsorship cooperation that has been reached has already been reached. It has exceeded 170 million, and there should be no pressure to exceed 300 million in the future.
February 22, 2005, the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the day before the Lantern Festival.
At two o'clock at noon, Capital Airport.
Wu Xiaoying was a little confused when she looked at the unruly young man in front of her.
Sun Tao introduced the two of them with a smile, "This is Zhang Shan, my driver and bodyguard... This is Wu Xiaoying, my personal assistant. She has been responsible for helping me with chores when I was in school."
Zhang Shan gently shook hands with Wu Xiaoying, turned around and said: "Manager Li asked me to tell you that "Manslaughter" will premiere at the end of the month, but director Zhang Yimou doesn't seem to be promoting it. This is the first investment of a film and television company. She makes you think Find a way.”
During the filming of "House of Flying Daggers", Zhang Yimou used almost all his connections, and held more than a dozen premieres alone. "Manslaughter" was just an appetizer for him to shoot for fun. Not only was the investment small, but the shooting time was also short.
The director himself has this attitude, and the market expectations are naturally not high. Even if there are articles in the online media that occasionally mention this movie, it is because its director and screenwriter are Zhang Yimou and Sun Tao.
There is no expectation between the lines. On the contrary, I am still waiting for the movie to overturn to prove that great directors can also make bad movies! (End of chapter)
