Chapter 251: A Matter of Face
Yi Qing originally thought that some people at the top of CCTV opposed the transfer of overseas copyrights because they saw the huge potential and the huge benefits brought by the copyright in the Gulf.
But in this case, why is CCTV still hesitant to inject funds into the Journey to the West crew?
It doesn't make sense.
As a result, after Li Chengru explained, Yi Qing realized that the reason why some people opposed it was not because of interests at all, but because of face!
"Some people above say that Journey to the West is a CCTV project, if the overseas copyright is given to an individual, the social influence is not good, of course, this social influence is mainly the evaluation of the outside world, to put it bluntly, they are afraid of losing face!"
, listen, is this human talk?
In this way, isn't it understandable that some people on CCTV would rather stop filming with the Journey to the West crew than give a piece of the pie to others, although they don't know whether this cup of soup is fragrant or smelly, and not only do they not want others to invest, but they themselves are also unwilling to invest, mainly because Journey to the West spends too much money, and they are not sure about the long-term interests, for fear that if they lose money, it will affect their future.
Face is more important than anything else, this is what those big people in the upper echelons think, you can stop filming, but you can't accept the coercion of personal capital.
In the face of this unique thinking, Yi Qing was also speechless: "They don't vote, they don't let others vote, they would rather the Journey to the West crew stop filming like this? But what about the previous investment? They didn't think that if the Journey to the West crew stopped filming like this, the previous investment would be wasted." ”
Li Chengru also looked helpless: "This is not going to be a waste, according to the meaning of the above, the filming work will be stopped, and as much as you will shoot!"
Well, this is planning to let the eunuch enter the palace, and it's not even a bad ending.
Yi Qing heard Li Chengru say before that the Journey to the West crew had just finished filming this episode, and the master and apprentice learned from the four Western Heavens, so they took it to Huoyun Cave and it was over.
"Isn't this going to be slowed down?"
As a latecomer, Yi Qing knew that he would definitely come back to life, and Comrade Duomu would soon find the railway department, and then get an investment of three million, so that the Journey to the West crew insisted on filming.
But if that's the case, it won't have anything to do with Yi Qing, to put it in his heart, he is really unwilling.
The missed overseas copyright is one thing, and more importantly, he knows very well that the three million is not enough to support the crew to finish filming all the Journey to the West stories.
After more than ten years, in order to make up for her regrets, Director Yang Jie and the four masters and apprentices released their previous suspicions, pulled the original team, and filmed more than a dozen episodes.
"It's not that it's not slow, I heard that it seems that Director Yang Jie went to the leadership of CCTV. ”
When Yi Qing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he knew very well about Director Yang Jie's combat effectiveness, this little old lady was a well-known type of employee who worked against the leader, and it can be seen in her later autobiography that her career is almost a history of fighting with various leaders, which shows how tough her personality has been.
It is precisely because of Director Yang Jie's strong personality that she does not have many friends within CCTV and offends a lot of people, so there are many people who have opinions about her filming.
Since the establishment of the crew, they have been constantly reported, not only those who reported their publicly-funded travel, but also those who "cried bitterly" at CCTV's internal meeting and said that it was CCTV's biggest mistake to hand it over to Yang Jie.
But this little old lady was stunned to treat all the criticism as fart, how to shoot, how to shoot, not to take it seriously at all, not only did the criticism choose to ignore it, but the old lady was so biao that she ran to the stage from time to time to make trouble, and pulled hatred for herself.
Later, in Director Yang Jie's autobiography, it was mentioned three times, one of which was that she applied to use the special effects equipment in the station, just in time for the director of CCTV in charge of this aspect due to the poor reputation of a certain TV series, and was criticized by the audience for being in a bad mood, so the two quarreled directly without speculation, and after the quarrel, Yang Jie shook off and left.
Another time was to prepare, and this party was suddenly vetoed by CCTV during the preparation process, which made Director Yang Jie angry and directly tore up the script. Although the party was held normally, during this process, Yang Jie also followed the leader to slap the table.
There is also the most fierce dispute between director Yang Jie and CCTV's upper leadership on the choice of music, because Xu Jingqing's music was completely denied by CCTV's senior management, which made Yang Jie completely angry, and her direct combat effectiveness exploded.
The result is naturally that Director Yang Jie won a big victory, and Mr. Xu's music was preserved in its entirety, which led to the later, Lost Lost, Blah, Blah, blah~~~~~~, blah
Obviously, this time, the upper-level leaders of CCTV refused to enter personal capital for the sake of face, and directly poked the lung tube of director Yang Jie.
But after thinking about it again, Yi Qing was a little worried, because now no one except him knew what overseas copyright meant.
Director Yang Jie just wants to finish the filming, and she doesn't care about what overseas copyright is not copyrighted at all.
But the problem is that if she really makes a fuss, Yi Qing invests 5 million and gets the overseas copyright, but when the upper leaders of CCTV see the huge benefits of this overseas copyright, Director Yang Jie will definitely be hanging.
When the time comes, as long as someone above says that the overseas copyright was given away by Yang Jie, we will stop it, but we can't stop it at all.
At that time, it may not be possible to recover the catastrophe, I am afraid that Director Yang will have to be poked in the backbone by the melon-eating masses who don't know the truth for the rest of his life, which is obviously not what Yi Qing wants to see.
"What's wrong?" Li Chengru saw that Yi Qing didn't speak for a long time, and asked, "Are you worried about Director Yang?" Don't worry, that old lady must be fine, it's not the first time that she has quarreled, and it's not common for her to follow the director to pat the table. ”
The more Yi Qing pondered it, the more he felt that he couldn't do this, even if Director Yang Jie really made a fuss, when the time came, he would not be able to feel at ease with the overseas copyright he had held.
"Brother Li, you take a look for Director Yang as soon as possible, just say, I have given in here, if CCTV accepts investment, I only need half of the overseas copyright, and the remaining half will be returned to CCTV, and in the future, because of overseas copyright, all the benefits generated are divided in half, but there is one point, CCTV must agree, that is, the operation of overseas copyright, must be decided by me, CCTV must not interfere. ”
This is the biggest concession Yi Qing has made, in this way, not only can he keep Director Yang, but more importantly, the rights are still in his hands, don't worry, those two hundred and five who don't understand the international market situation sold the overseas copyright at the price of cabbage.
In the previous life, it was broadcast in so many countries, but no one seemed to have ever raised the issue of royalties, and some people had asked, but CCTV pretended to be deaf and dumb, so it is not difficult to guess that the overseas copyright was really sold by them, and the sale is not more expensive than the Chinese cabbage on the market.
Therefore, this reform is really imperative to be in line with international standards.
But Yi Qing's small shoulders are narrow, he just has a lot of reform opinions, and he can't mention them, even if he does, who listens to him!
At present, people in the film and television circles across the country are collectively eating a big pot of rice, and people think it is very fragrant, if Yi Qing wants to stir up the situation, I am afraid that before he can come forward, he will be trampled to death.
It's better to stop a little, first protect your own one-third of an acre, salvage the foundation, save enough qualifications, and wait until the country nods and opens up, and then jump out to make waves.
I believe that at that time, with a solid enough foundation and sufficient capital, Yi Qing wants to do something, and he is not afraid that the above sentence will destroy him.
Li Chengru listened, he really didn't understand Yi Qing's thoughts, to tell him what he was thinking, in his opinion, Director Yang Jie went to the stage to make a fuss, and the chance of this thing being done was still very high, and it was the case several times before.
But why did Yi Qing give in so quickly, although he still couldn't see how much benefit the overseas copyright could bring, but even if it was sold for one dollar, it was all Yi Qing's, so why should he give it five cents.
"Xiao Yi, you are ~~~~~~~~~"
Yi Qing said: "Brother Li, just listen to me, tell you the truth, I am very optimistic about the overseas market, and after the broadcast in China becomes popular, not to mention other countries, that is, Xiangjiang, I will be able to make a lot of money, and when Xiangjiang is popular again, Southeast Asia will definitely follow up, Southeast Asia has been following Xiangjiang over the years, Xiangjiang is optimistic, they will definitely be tempted, you think about it, needless to say, as long as it is sold to ten places, I will almost be able to recover the cost of investment, and then what?"
Li Chengru was directly confused, although he felt that Yi Qing's statement was a bit fantastical, after all, over the years, Chinese mainland film and television works have not had any market in the world, but what if.
"Brother Li, think about it again, if it is really like what I said, if it sells fire overseas, at that time, will no one be blushing above?
Now Li Chengru understands that although what Yi Qing said about everyone overseas is just a hypothesis, and it is an unreliable hypothesis, but he can't help but guard against it!
"Okay!
