Chapter 314 Minmin: I heard my mother secretly calling my eldest brother’s name
"Has the specific broadcast time been decided over there?"
Changyun Film and Television, Zhu Changyun has been really busy and exhausted during this period.
However, although he is busy, for him, he is indeed always in a very excited state.
After all, the current development of Changyun Film and Television is almost all within his plan.
It can be said that it went smoothly with almost no obstacles.
Some business cooperation and negotiations have been finalized.
On the contrary, Feng Ge, who had been worried and on guard at all times, did not seem to pose any threat.
Song Fuquan is indeed old, and it can be seen from the decision-making power of Feng Ge given to such a young artist as Xu Kong.
Lao Song is really a little confused.
Xu Kong is indeed a genius, and he will most likely become a so-called superstar in the future.
But managing a company and singing and filming are completely different things.
……
"I wish you all the best, if everything goes well, we will definitely be able to broadcast normally in August."
"It's just..."
When Zhu Changyun heard the word "just", he frowned subconsciously.
No matter what, the appearance of these two words means that things are not progressing as smoothly as ideal.
"Don't hesitate, just say it!"
Hearing that Zhu Changyun's tone was not particularly good, Lu Hanwen, the former manager of Fengge's film and television department, looked a little uneasy at this time.
But he still said:
“We originally planned to discuss cooperation with Mango, but before the talks were concluded, they seemed to have no intention of cooperating with us...”
Zhu Changyun was stunned for a moment, but then he understood.
This time, their new summer drama will be aired at the end of August. The director is Yu Fenfen, one of the most famous female TV drama directors in China.
Not to mention that the cast itself is almost all top-notch. It can be regarded as the most luxurious TV series that Changyun Film and Television has been able to put together so far.
The reason why Mango didn't even plan to talk to them was very simple.
"It seems that the relationship between Wu Youxue and Xu Kong is closer than the rumors."
Zhu Changyun certainly knows that when it comes to the influence and number of viewers of local TV stations.
Mango's position as the eldest brother is still untouchable by anyone.
If possible, their best choice for this drama is of course to broadcast it on Mango Channel.
But since the other party refused, he didn’t have to join in.
Zhu Changyun didn't think that leaving One Mango and choosing two of the other three major local channels would have a big impact on their new summer dramas.
……
Lu Hanwen also followed up and said: "We are currently in contact with Ocean TV. They are quite interested in our new drama, but the copyright fee has not been reached yet."
"They tend to go for betting agreements..."
Zhu Changyun was not surprised by this.
Ocean TV itself has indeed always been cautious.
And their investment in the new drama this time is very large. If they want to make a profit from the copyright fee quotation, the quotation will definitely be high.
However, Zhu Changyun has full confidence in his company's drama, and signing a gambling agreement is not too difficult to accept.
And if the follow-up goes well, maybe when the show becomes a hit, the money they get will be far more than the originally estimated copyright fee.
"I'll make a trip myself then."
The drama itself was important enough for Zhu Changyun to put aside other matters in the company to negotiate the gambling agreement himself.
"By the way, there's also the Internet platform."
“Penguin Video has severely lowered the price and has refused to let go.”
"For kiwi fruit, the proposed plan is to guarantee a share of the share. The share ratio is relatively high, but the guaranteed copyright fee is very low. I will try it again in the future."
……
Zhu Changyun's expression became complicated.
He originally thought that the first drama of Changyun Film and Television was a great success a few months ago. This new drama has such a luxurious lineup and a very high investment cost.
The major platforms should be rushing to cooperate with them.
After all, the copyright fee should be able to recover the cost without broadcasting.
Who knows, it doesn't seem to be as smooth as imagined.
This can only mean one thing, and that is that the platform parties are not very optimistic about their new drama this time.
But he has also watched the entire finished film. It is a Machiavellian drama with a male protagonist in ancient costume, and overall he cannot find any major faults.
The pacing, plot, and character design are all remarkable, right?
Why is this?
……
"Mr. Zhu, I have received some internal information from Penguin Video, but I just don't know whether I should say it..."
"The main reason is that I am not sure whether the news is true or false."
Zhu Changyun somewhat dislikes Lu Hanwen's character, who likes to show off everything and speaks awkwardly.
But the other party is indeed very important to Changyun Film and Television now.
He could only impatiently motion for the other party to speak out.
"The news I heard is that several senior executives at Penguin Video are actually inclined to reach a long-term cooperation with Xu Kong."
"They are very optimistic about Xu Kong's future development and growth."
"So, the company's internal attitude towards cooperation with Changyun Film and Television is still quite tangled."
Lu Hanwen's words correspond exactly to why Penguin Video's copyright fee quotation is always so low and has no intention of letting go.
This is obviously something that cannot be achieved just for the sake of cooperation.
……
Zhu Changyun knew very well that what Penguin Video said would most likely be true.
Because several of Xu Kong's previous dramas were partnered with Penguin, and all of them were hits, so it was obvious that the other party got a taste of the sweetness.
If it were a simple choice between today's Feng Ge and Changyun Film and Television, I guess there would be no hesitation.
But if you just bet on Xu Kong.
The attitude towards the corresponding platform is very important.
Whether Feng Ge will rise again in the future is not discussed for the moment, but Xu Kong’s current relationship with Feng Ge and the past between them is Changyun Film and Television.
Obviously, if you get too close to Changyun Film and Television, you will definitely not be favored by Xu Kong.
Even if it doesn't matter for some other Feng Ge's dramas, if Xu Kong directly refuses to cooperate with the ones directed by Xu Kong himself, it will be a bit of a loss.
……
"Do you really think Xu Kong is a god?!!"
"Every drama can become a hit. Penguin's top executives don't know what kind of ecstasy soup was fed to them by Xu Kong."
Lu Hanwen couldn't help but complain.
No one denies Xu Kong's ability and talent.
But it would be a bit exaggerated to say that every one of his dramas will still be a hit in the future.
Now Feng Ge seems to have really begun to place all his future bets on Xu Kong.
This is obviously against common sense.
Especially for someone like Lu Hanwen, who has been working in the film and television industry for so many years.
It is clear that for the success of a project, perhaps the director is the most important, but apart from that, there are too many factors that will affect it.
The news that Xu Kong personally wrote scripts for some directors under Feng Ge has now spread.
But in his opinion, there is no script at all that can save Feng Ge's current situation.
……
"First proceed according to the normal process."
"As for Penguin Video, let's forget it if we can't talk about it."
"When I come, I will personally visit the Ocean Station and Kiwi Fruit."
Zhu Changyun actually didn't pay attention to this young man Xu Kong at all before.
Even throughout the whole process, he simply regarded the other party as a newcomer who had just entered the industry, had some small skills, and had better luck, so he became popular.
Until that time Xu Kong fell out with him on the spot and started scolding him.
Only then did he feel some hatred for this young man.
He also gave up his original idea of recruiting the other party.
Treating guests, beheading, and being treated as dogs, Zhu Changyun was pretty good at doing this, except when Xu Kongna overturned.
He didn't expect the subsequent changes at all, because he originally thought he would compete with Song Fuquan.
Zhu Changyun felt that his chances of winning were almost 100% due to his understanding of his former Big Brother. Who knows that Song Fuquan still seems to have chosen to retreat behind the scenes.
Delegating power to Xu Kong, whom he didn't care about at all.
……
"Are you planning to adopt a guaranteed profit share model for Kiwi Fruit?"
Lu Hanwen was inevitably a little worried.
According to his many years of experience, in fact, most of the time, film and television companies do not suffer large losses.
Especially in terms of TV drama business.
Royalty fees can be negotiated long before broadcast.
Even if the drama fails in the future, the platform will bear all the risks.
Even if a gambling agreement is signed, it is actually relatively rare.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Now, traditional TV stations and online platforms can actually bet on each other.
It can be guaranteed that the other end will be able to recover part of the cost.
Isn't it a bit too radical for both parties to take such risks?
"Nothing to worry about."
"I have confidence in our drama this time."
"And..."
"One success can be said to be luck, then prove it several times in the future."
Zhu Changyun's purpose is also very clear.
Although the first drama after the success of Changyun Film and Television had quite good data, it became a small hit at the beginning of the year.
But the major platforms obviously still have some distrust in them.
If it were the former Feng Ge, it is estimated that there would never be such an obstacle in negotiating copyright fees.
Therefore, if he succeeds in taking a desperate risk this time, the gold content will be even higher.
The most important thing is that in Zhu Changyun's view, there is really no possibility of failure for the new drama they currently plan to release around the end of August.
Seeing Zhu Changyun, it was obvious that he had made up his mind.
Lu Hanwen, who understood the other party's temper, said nothing more.
Although he did feel very uneasy in his heart at this time.
I always feel that things won't go as smoothly as expected.
……
"Big brother!"
The first time Zhu Min saw Xu Kong, she threw herself into his arms very happily.
I have to say that Xu Kong really hasn’t seen the little guy for a long time because of his busy schedule.
At Zhu Min's age, she is also at the stage where her body is growing, so it can be said that she looks different every day.
Compared with Xu Kong's memory, Zhu Min had grown a lot taller.
"She couldn't stay at home alone, so I simply brought her to the company."
Zhu Yu opened his mouth to explain.
In the past, Zhu Yu was the type who would not let her personal matters affect her work.
Especially my own daughter, unless she has absolutely no other choice, she would almost never let her come to the company.
But a big change happened because of Feng Ge.
Now Zhu Yu's workload has increased a lot compared to before.
In addition, her current boss is actually Xu Kong.
On the contrary, Zhu Yu didn't have too many worries in this regard.
Before, I was worried that I would be reported for these trivial things, resulting in losing my job.
That's why he tried his best not to let Zhu Min come to his office.
But now, without so many worries, it is much more convenient in many cases, and work efficiency has actually improved.
……
"Your Uncle Xu Kong has just come back. Stop making trouble with him and let him rest."
Zhu Yu looked at Minmin, who had been pestering Xu Kong, and gave a helpless reminder.
"I don't want it!"
"And why does my mother always ask me to call my eldest brother uncle~"
Zhu Yu was obviously a little embarrassed when she heard her daughter's words.
In fact, when Zhu Yu called Xu Kong eldest brother, she had no objection at all.
After all, Xu Kong is not that old, although he is only a few years younger than her.
But in fact, in her eyes, she does treat the other person as a young child.
Who knew, but later she realized personally that this child... didn't seem to be too young.
Not knowing what she was thinking of, Zhu Yu's face began to turn red unconsciously.
……
Zhu Yu was wearing a very simple light-colored short-sleeved outfit today. Her short hair seemed to be longer than before. She probably didn't have time to get a haircut.
So I just plated it up directly.
Paired with the familiar thin-framed glasses, it definitely looks like a super young married woman.
Of course, what Xu Kong found most incredible was that although Zhu Yu said she had a child a long time ago, she was still very shy.
Every now and then, she would show blushing and shyness that only girls can have.
Two points that should be contradictory to each other can appear at the same time without any sense of incompatibility in each other.
……
Zhu Yu raised her head and glanced at Xu Kong's discovery, only to realize that he had been staring at her in a daze.
He subconsciously dodged for a moment, and then seemed to remember that his relationship with Xu Kong was no longer what it was before, and glared at him fiercely, as if to warn him something.
To Xu Kong, this kind of look did not have any deterrent effect. Instead, it seemed more like a deliberate seduction.
"Brother, why haven't you been to our house for a long time?"
"I miss you so much..."
It can be seen that Zhu Min really likes Xu Kong very much. Ever since they met, he couldn't stop talking.
Xu Kong answered and responded very patiently.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Yu unconsciously smiled on her face.
"By the way, big brother, have you made my mother angry?"
The little guy suddenly lowered his voice quietly and asked.
But there were only three of them in the office. Although Zhu Yu didn't look directly here, she had been quietly listening to their conversation.
"No? Minmin, why do you ask that?"
Xu Kong was also a little strange.
The main reason is that he has been filming recently, and "The Hidden Corner" was only officially completed yesterday. Apart from chatting on the phone, he and Zhu Yu have actually not seen each other for a while.
"Because I heard my mother secretly calling my eldest brother's name at home and saying you are annoying, I almost cried!"
Min Min had a serious expression.
But Xu Kong reacted quickly.
"Is it in the room I usually go to at home?"
Zhu Min nodded.
Xu Kong immediately understood what was going on.
Then he subconsciously looked in Zhu Yu's direction.
At this time, Zhu Yu's face was red and hot, and she wanted to find a hole to crawl in.
She didn't know this kind of thing, but she was suddenly told to Xu Kong by Zhu Min who overheard it.
……
"Don't worry, I will buy her a gift to apologize."
Xu Kong promised.
Minmin also became happy, and then curiously asked Xu Kong what gift he wanted to buy.
Looking at Xu Kong's eyes, Zhu Yu was really about to cry. How could she not know what the other party planned to give.
