"Come on, let me take the lead and have a drink first!"
Hunan, in a high-end restaurant next to Liuyang River.
Director Zhang Li raised his wine glass, not a small wine cup, but a small glass.
He drank it full.
"Okay, Director Zhang has a good drinking capacity!" Zhang Yuan praised from the side.
"I'm very happy to meet my friends, so I'll say hello." After Zhang Li sat down, he winked at him.
At today's table, except for the two of them and the people they brought, all the people sitting at the table were people from the Mango Terrace.
Program director, editor, producer.
As an acquaintance, Teacher He Jiong was also specially called here by Zhang Yuan.
Because this person is very good at flattering, it is perfect as a lubricant.
Of course, there is the most important one.
He was also the one Zhang Yuan had met before at Mango Terrace.
Now the director and deputy general manager of Mango Channel Entertainment Channel is Zhang Huali.
Today's treat is to discuss "The Ming Dynasty 1566".
So I have to call the person in charge of the TV drama department.
Moreover, it is this person who leads this film, and the director behind it.
The legendary figure of Mango Channel, Mr. Ouyang Yang, personally named himself the producer.
Nowadays, the film has big eyes, which makes it uncomfortable to look up and down.
"Mr. Zhang, we are from this family, and we would like to propose a toast to you." Zhang Yuan smiled and raised his wine glass.
He drank it all, but the other party only drank half.
Zhang Yuan's expression was different, and there was no trace of resentment on his face.
"Mr. Zhang, who in China doesn't know that in terms of entertainment programs, your Mango Channel is the leader!"
Zhang Huali saw that he didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and took the initiative to praise others, and replied calmly.
"The boss is often empty-handed."
"Every day when I open my eyes, there are thousands of people, and I have to wait for them to eat, drink, and have sex."
"There are only a few people who actually come to Taiwan, and the funds are still very tight."
"Hahaha, you are joking. Mango Channel is financially tight. I don't believe it. Don't lie to me." Zhang Yuan deliberately put him on the shelf.
"You don't understand." Mr. Zhang waved his hand.
"Looking at the scenery, it seems that I have made a lot of money."
"Actually, there are only a few profitable programs on the station."
"Most of them are expenses, and we have to rely on subsidies."
Mr. Zhang thought he had a project and was going to ask for funds.
"So nervous?"
"I'm so nervous." Zhang Huali looked at Zhang Li and pointed at him: "Let's talk about Director Zhang's project."
"That TV series didn't make any money."
"I invested 40 million, but the advertising fee was only over 10 million."
"We have to bear the rest of the cost ourselves."
"Just because of this, I get poked in the spine by people on stage all day long."
Yoxi!
Zhang Yuan was so happy that he didn't even need to tempt the other party to jump into the pit on his own.
Logically speaking, an old fox like Zhang Huali wouldn't be like this.
But it's been really rough recently.
If the drama at the beginning of the new year turns out to be like this, someone must be responsible.
You put the old director in charge?
He is the face of Taili, so he must not be taken over.
In the end, I, as a close confidant, had to take the blame.
I can't eat without you and wash the dishes without you.
In this case, how can the leader reuse you?
There are factions everywhere.
Although he is the director of the show, because this drama is a hit on the street, it is inevitable that someone behind the scenes will say weird things.
The recent rumors are getting more and more outrageous.
He said that the filming of "Ming Dynasty 1566", which he directed, caused a loss of 200 million to Taiwan!
Damn it, everyone else was dumbfounded when they heard this number.
Our annual revenue in Taiwan last year was just over one billion.
How did you calculate the account balance of more than 200 million?
How do people calculate it?
The cost of "The Ming Dynasty 1566" is still a little rich if it can produce the two ratings champions of the same period, "Another Dream".
After the film was broadcast, it attracted more than 30 million yuan in investment, and sold more than 20 million yuan in copyrights, with a total income of almost 50 to 60 million yuan.
Two fifty or sixty million, plus the 40 million cost of "The Ming Dynasty" itself, and if you are richer, it won't be 200 million.
This number is weighing heavily on his shoulders, and he can't bear it!
Of course, the reality is that there are not as many as 200 million.
But 40 million funds, several years of current costs, interest costs, and the opportunity cost of investing in other projects all add up.
Zhang Huali estimated that it was really as much as 100 million!
Therefore, he has been very low-key in Taiwan recently, his behavior and operation on projects have been much more conservative.
We have to wait until this gust of wind passes.
Although he took the blame, the old director promised to promote him and let him wait for a while.
Why does the director value him so much?
Taoyuan County liberal arts champion!
This guy got perfect marks in the college entrance examination Chinese composition!
It is rare to get the top prize, and it is even rarer to get the top prize with perfect score in composition.
There are only a few people who can reach high positions in major local TV stations, and they were all child prodigies when they were young.
If you are capable and have leadership support, you only need to settle down for a while before you can continue to fly high... This is the reality.
Keren, how can anyone not be impatient!
And this is what Zhang Yuan grasped!
"Mr. Zhang, I've seen Director Zhang's film. It's such a pity."
"This quality should not be achieved like this."
"Are you right?" Zhang Yuan replied immediately.
At the same time, he winked at Teacher He.
He Jiong also quickly answered: "Yes, yes, yes!"
"What's wrong with this film? This one is great!"
"You see, Teacher He knows the preferences of young people best."
"What he said was exactly right."
"Hey, you're not old, but you still have good taste." Mr. Zhang said happily, finally you know the goods.
"But I heard that people have been saying weird things about you recently, just because of this movie."
"I think these people are not authentic."
"You, Mr. Zhang, are a big leg of Mango Taiwan!"
"But when people stumble, horses stumble."
"You broke your thigh once in a while, and they just talk like that. It's too much!"
"What are you going to... do?" Zhang Huali felt more and more something was wrong.
Zhang Yuan stood up and patted his chest.
"I can't stand these people."
"You are bullying me, Brother Zhang, and I won't agree!"
"That's why I'm here today just to help you reattach your thigh!"
"How do you connect it?" Brother Zhang Li poked his head at the side and praised.
You see, after all, he is a director, not professional, and he is not as smooth as Teacher He.
"I think this "Ming Dynasty 1566" is a good movie."
"So why don't you give me a chance to help you sell."
"Find another station to broadcast it."
"What if the ratings are good?"
"What if I make money back?"
Mr. Zhang was dumbfounded.
I thought you were here to ask for money.
I didn’t expect you were here to kill me!
If this film is broadcast, what if it doesn't work well again?
Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?
He was about to refuse, but then he remembered.
"This guy can't afford to start early without profit, and he never engages in loss-making business."
"In that movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the protagonist was half-dead, but he was able to sell it in advance despite all the effort."
"When others say this, it's a bit of a lie."
"But when he talks...it's not necessarily true!"
This is called the shadow of a famous tree.
During the interview, you also have to look at your resume and past work experience.
If you don’t have any foundation, no one will believe you.
Zhang Yuan and Zhang Huali have the foundation.
Not to mention "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" produced for Golden Eagle Animation.
Just that show "Metamorphosis" is almost as popular as ever.
Although there are many complaints received.
Many people are worried about their children's future and mental health.
I could have endured the darkness, but I had seen the light.
It doesn't matter if you go to experience life in the city, but how should you deal with yourself after coming to the city?
Seeing the colorful world, some people will work hard.
But most of them knew that the gap was too big, so they were completely ruined early on.
But Mango Terrace doesn’t care about this.
I don't care about you!
Black and red are also red, and people have understood this for more than ten years.
As long as the radio and television industry doesn't curse, I will continue to work.
This is the only rule of Mango Terrace.
Mr. Zhang thought that this program had helped the station earn a lot of advertising money.
Moreover, under the guise of paying attention to rural areas and children, it helped him gain a lot of political capital.
The most important thing is that after the plan was given, Zhang Yuan flicked his sleeves and left without taking a penny!
I still owe people favors.
This favor is reserved for future use, and of course Zhang Yuan will not take the money.
Now, there is human kindness, and now the other party's attitude when talking to him is much softer.
"Zhang Yuan." Zhang Huali said cautiously: "It's not that I don't believe you."
"This film really disappointed us."
"You probably mean to help with distribution."
"So what is your distribution plan?"
Mr. Zhang thought that he should just find a few local stations to broadcast it and see the effect.
Then go up to the city platform and the provincial platform.
In this way, you can also sell some money.
It would be nice if you can help yourself fill in the holes.
The old station director asked him to wait peacefully, but who can rest assured! He still wanted to do something to make up for the loss.
It's not appropriate to go to Taiwan for distribution.
Moreover, the film has been rejected twice, and no one is willing to do this work.
Zhang Yuan is an "outsider", but he is suitable for this job.
"I have a plan!" Zhang Yuan said immediately when he saw his interest.
"My plan is to either not do it or never do it."
"I plan to put this drama on CCTV!"
Quiet.
After he said this, the audience fell silent.
Not only the leaders of Mango Channel, but also Teacher He and Brother Zhang Li were quiet.
Zhang Yuan's words made everyone in the wine party lose their temper.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Soon, things changed.
Anyway, Zhang Yuan had a sense of déjà vu in this scene.
Because it was like this when Teacher Bai Jie saw his shiny silver gun for the first time.
There was silence for a while, and then there was laughter like a bell.
"Hahahaha..."
The whole audience burst into laughter!
It was as if Zhang Yuan had told the most ridiculous joke in the world.
"Ho ho ho."
"Hoo ho ho."
"Jie Jie Jie."
Everyone laughs.
The people at Mango Station all looked at him like they were idiots.
Go to CCTV to broadcast.
Why don't you go to the Great Hall of the People to broadcast it?
You go to Zhongnanhai to broadcast!
You take the film up to the sky, side by side with the sun.
Our Mango TV station is on the street, will CCTV want it?
Just like the young ladies who have been eliminated from the shampoo room, can they be recruited from heaven and earth?
Zhang Yuan felt that these people laughed like idiots.
But he saw that Teacher He didn't smile, but pursed his lips.
Now, there are still good people.
Teacher He had a good personal relationship with him. Even if he couldn't help him at this time, he didn't laugh at him like others.
"Oh, oh...this Xiao Zhang is quite creative." The editor-in-chief of Mango Channel laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe.
I laughed for a while and then slowed down.
"So Mr. Zhang, when do we sign the contract? I will go to CCTV early to discuss it."
"Huh?"
Zhang Huali's eyes widened.
No...Ayuan, you are serious!
"You're not kidding."
"I never joke about drama." Zhang Yuan replied seriously.
"Are you really planning to go to CCTV?"
"That's right."
Mr. Zhang saw that he was confident in what he said, and he thought something was wrong.
There's a problem!
Could there be something wrong with him, I don't know.
Otherwise, if someone can be a leader, his nose will be sharp.
Analyze in your mind instantly.
It's a success, it's a happy event.
If I fail, I won’t suffer.
And if he really succeeds, it means that he must have tricks on CCTV.
As soon as this person thought about it, he felt that he could do it.
"Okay, you try."
"Don't worry, I'm here." Zhang Yuan toasted again.
This time, as before, he drank half of the glass. After a moment's hesitation, he drank the remaining half of the glass in one gulp.
"Since you can trust me, I'll tell you the truth."
"Let's talk about profit distribution."
"How to calculate the money after selling it?"
Mr. Zhang remained calm, and after a moment of silence, he kicked the ball back.
"Since you proposed the plan."
"You're the one who invited me to this dinner. It's up to you, the host, to do it."
This is called retreating to advance, waiting for the price to sell.
As expected of an old fritter.
Zhang Yuan sneered in his heart.
If you play this trick with me, don't blame me for being rude.
He turned his head and looked at the fat girl Yang Siwei he had brought.
"This is the manager of my company, he has a lot of experience."
"I'll let her say, according to the market situation, how should we divide it?"
Yang Siwei held it in for the whole night without daring to say a word.
She murmured in her mind, my boss is quite awesome.
Every time we eat, there are big shots sitting at the table.
You asked me to say that I have to be cautious and not embarrass the boss.
While she was thinking, she saw Zhang Yuan gesturing to her under the table.
He held out three fingers.
Counted.
"According to the current market conditions, it is 30-70." Yang Siwei said confidently after getting the hint from his boss.
"You are so unjust!"
But she didn't expect that before she finished speaking, her boss slammed the table and shouted angrily.
"Mr. Zhang is very busy, supervising and producing."
"You will share 30% of my share!"
Yang Siwei:! ! !
Is that what I mean... No, is that what you mean?
When Zhang Huali heard this, his mouth twitched.
Can your kid still want a little bit of face?
I have been in the industry for so many years, met countless people, and negotiated thousands of projects, but this is the first time I have seen such a thick-skinned person.
"Can we do this?" Zhang Yuan even knocked on the table to train employees.
"It has to be divided in half anyway!"
You can play with me and make progress by retreating, and I can play with you and turn against the guests!
He Jiong, who was the best at complimenting, was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word.
"Well, then I made a mistake." Yang Siwei was frightened by Zhang Yuan's stare and quickly apologized.
"Hey, Miss Yang, we should listen to Zhang Yuan, 50/50," Mr. Zhang said with a smile.
He didn't come for nothing.
Half and half is fine, but there must be a clause in the contract.
It's only half right if you can be on CCTV!
"Okay, okay." Yang Siwei was so happy that he had crow's feet when he heard what the leader said.
Damn, my boss is awesome!
This can all be discussed.
"Come, let me pay my respects to Mr. Zhang again!" After Zhang Yuan stood up, he bowed his waist and raised his glass.
Mr. Zhang also stood up, handed over his arm, and the wine glasses in their hands touched lightly.
This time the other party didn't hesitate, raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.
After Zhang Yuan sat down, he smiled and asked the waiter to add more dishes.
It doesn't matter whether you eat or not, you have to add it. This is called the atmosphere and shows sincerity.
"What?"
After finishing, everyone chatted for a while, and Zhang Yuan put his ear to Yang Siwei's mouth.
The fat girls were stunned.
I didn't speak.
wrong!
My boss is doing bad things again!
This woman was also smart and reacted immediately.
"What the hell!" Zhang Yuan shouted angrily again.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Why do we suffer!"
"What kind of webcast copyright do you need?"
"What kind of webcast copyright do you want!"
"My sister said she wants the copyright for online broadcasting..." Yang Siwei showed the same innocent face as teacher Gao Xiumin.
"Why are you like this?"
"What a joke, I'm not strict with you."
"Why do you still need webcast copyright?"
"I can't control this employee."
"I won't take you out again."
Zhang Huali couldn't laugh or cry when he saw him like this.
I thought half and half was your limit.
Unexpectedly, this is just the limit of my imagination.
I underestimated you.
Teacher He Jiong also covered his face.
Brother Zhang Li on the side couldn't stand it anymore.
Why is my brother so greedy?
"Okay, okay, Miss Yang is young, so don't blame her too much." Mr. Zhang followed the words to smooth things over.
"The copyright for webcasting is easy to negotiate and is not a big deal."
He estimated that the current online broadcast copyright was only a few hundred or two hundred thousand, so just give it to him.
Even a leader like him could not have guessed how online copyrights would rise in a few years!
The night passed while laughing.
The next day, Zhang Yuan hurriedly signed an agency contract with Mango Channel.
Mr. Zhang made it clear.
On CCTV, 50-50 open.
Can't get on CCTV, 30-70 points... Of course it's Zhang Yuansan.
He waved his hand and signed it.
Then he flew back to the Imperial Capital with the contract in hand and went straight to the CCTV building... (End of chapter)
