Chapter 405: Unwilling
The main persons in charge of the three TV stations of Mango Channel, Oriental Channel, and Banana Station all rushed over, and the people from Mango Station were the most sincere, Director Ouyang of Mango Economic Station, this is a person who has a very good relationship with Ye Ming, and the two of them have had some contact when they were still Zhu Gege, so at this time, it seems that Mango Channel's chances of winning are relatively large.
Su Dong of Dongfang Taiwan is a middle-aged man in his forties, who is considered a young Zhuang among middle-aged people, and the whole person is dressed in an off-white suit, which looks very powerful and atmospheric. As soon as the power is in hand, the order will be carried out, which is a characteristic of Su Dong, and he is a representative figure in the Dongfang Station of the Shaozhuang faction.
And in Dongfangtai, it is also a saving zĆ i who calls for wind and rain, and few people dare to disobey him. Insidious and vicious, but on the surface, he is a personable person, that is, Su Dong. Therefore, after seeing Su Dong for the first time, ordinary people think that this person is a very easy friend to make, but when you really ask him to do things, you will find that he treats you as a friend, which is useful to you.
As soon as you ask him, then the official style will come out. Su Dong originally thought that he was a master in provincial satellite TV. However, when he met Director Ouyang of Mango Terrace, he knew what it meant to have people outside the sky. Director Ouyang was a real old fox, and Su Dong felt that he couldn't think carefully in front of Director Ouyang, because his little caution was left over from Director Ouyang.
Therefore, if Dongfang TV wants to get the second round of broadcast rights of [Bright Sword], it still depends on what Director Ouyang means. Now it doesn't seem so easy. There is also Wen Zheng of Banana Channel, who is also a cunning opponent, he is an old oilman of officialdom, what is the matter. They all abide by the rule of only saying three points when they meet people, this is a very difficult opponent to deal with, Su Dong can see it. This guy Wen Zheng is a real old-school officialdom, and the most terrible thing about such a person is conformism. Steady and steady, and never make mistakes lightly.
Therefore, having an opponent like this is also a very headache, and you simply say that you don't know how to deal with this guy. In fact, only Director Ouyang of the three provincial satellite TV representatives have really contacted Ye Ming, and at this time, only Director Ouyang invited him to have tea with Ye Ming. Before this, people from provincial satellite TV generally contacted Sister Fang Fang directly if they wanted to contact Ye Ming.
But Ouyang Taichang and Ye Ming are acquaintances, therefore. directly contacted Ye Ming, this one is not strange at all. Ye Ming sent the brewed tea over and said, "Director Ouyang hasn't seen you for many days, but your demeanor is still the same, I didn't expect you to come to Mango Terrace." ā
Director Ouyang said with a smile: "Manager Ye, don't tell jokes, I'm old and decrepit, and I can't keep up with the footsteps of you young people." If I hadn't come over from the stage, I guess it wouldn't be easy to contact Mr. Ye, right?" Ye Ming nodded and said, "This is the truth, in fact, I plan to make a move on the seventh day." At that time, it will also be an explanation to Tianchaotai, and you can't give the second round of playback rights too easily, right? When you are all in a hurry, the price will naturally come up. But since it was Director Ouyang who came over in person. At this time, I don't have much to say. What are your plans for Mango Channel, whether to buy out the broadcast rights of the second round, or to jointly buy it?"
Buying out the second round of broadcasting rights, then this is easy to understand, that is, in the same time period, only Mango TV can broadcast this [Bright Sword] The rest of the provincial satellite TV is not eligible to broadcast. Joint purchase, that naturally means that each TV station pays for it, and it is considered a joint acquisition if it is broadcast together at an agreed time. Director Ouyang Chang didn't expect Ye Ming to be so decisive. At this time, he pondered for a while and said, "You have plans to withdraw funds, don't you have any big moves?"
Ye Ming smiled and did not answer this question directly. Instead, he said, "Maybe there is, it's easier to understand by holding the money in your hands first." ā
Director Ouyang thought for a moment. I still don't understand Ye Ming's plans very well, but this is not the most important thing, Director Ouyang is also a little emotional at the moment, the young man in front of him was still a newcomer in the entertainment industry two years ago, but now in the mainland entertainment industry, Ye Ming can be regarded as a saving person who calls for wind and rain. At that moment, Director Ouyang said: "Mango TV still has other big moves, so it is impossible to make big concessions in terms of funds, speaking of which, Huanzhu Gege is only four million, and the price of your TV series will not exceed this price in the station." ā
Ye Ming said very decisively: "That is last year's price, it is impossible to copy Huanzhu Gege, no one can successfully copy Huanzhu Gege, and it is impossible for Ms. Qiong Yao."
Four million is just a leak, my work is broadcast in the second round, I can reveal you a reserve price, it will be a way to take the simulcast, the price is six million, friendship is friendship, but don't use last year's price to say things, this year's price should also feel that the rise is very strong, the price of group performances has risen to thirty, and if the price of the TV series does not rise, there will be no room for the survival of film and television companies. After Director Ouyang went back, Su Dong and Wen Zheng were waiting in the hall to intercept Director Ouyang, and after Director Ouyang saw the two people, he didn't continue to go back, but turned around and sat on the sofa in the lobby and said, "You two, the news is very well-informed, and you actually said that you are waiting for me here." ā
Su Dong said very politely: "Director Ouyang, we don't have a friendship with Ye Ming, the last time [Bright Sword] was sealed, in fact, we also did something inappropriate, it is estimated that Ye Ming, a young man, is having a temper, so he will not see us lightly, but we can't not complete our tasks this month, right? Therefore, at this time, there is only waiting for you to come out?"
During the period of time when [Bright Sword] was blocked, in fact, Dongfang TV and Banana TV had some critical actions against Ye Ming, so at this time, the two TV stations came and did not be able to see Ye Ming immediately, so in such a situation, they naturally said that they suspected that it was Ye Ming's revenge. Finally, I swallowed the bitter fruit of my own brewing.
Director Ouyang snorted and said, "If Ye Ming is such a stingy person, then at such a time, he will not have such great achievements, do you think he will take those things about you to heart? In fact, he didn't say that he couldn't see you." Instead, he didn't have time at all, because he was invited by Warner Bros. to go to the United Kingdom to participate in the casting of [Harry Potter]. One of the five judges, that's the focus of his work. Before he was going to the UK, he naturally said that he would arrange his company. I don't have time to see you at all, and of course I can't rule out the possibility that this kid deliberately wants to raise the price like this. ā
At this time, Wen Zheng said slowly: "Director Ouyang, in fact, no matter what, if we can see Ye Ming's words, then we have the possibility of negotiating, if we want to negotiate and can't even find anyone, then what kind of thing is it, there is no need to say it at all." Forget it. You've found him. He always gives you a bottom line. ā
These two cunning people were waiting here, and naturally they wanted to know what Ye Ming's bottom line was from Director Ouyang. Director Ouyang himself is not very happy in his heart, six million, this price is relatively high, even higher than Huanzhu Gege, whether this is worth it or not, no one can say.
Therefore, Ouyang decided that he was unhappy, and everyone was unhappy. At this time, he thought about it and said, "Well, six million." This is the price of the simulcast.,Those who don't agree with this price can go home directly.ć Ye Ming will not dwell on this matter. With the funds of Tianchaotai at the bottom, Brilliant Film and Television doesn't care about our thoughts at all. Therefore, he is going to eat us. ā
At this time, even Wen Zheng, who has always been steady, was a little stunned: "Six million, this is a little too ruthless, but, last time it was four million, and the advertising cost was able to get more than 50 million, this time with the support of Tianchaotai, it is estimated that according to the current level of [Bright Sword] ratings, it is absolutely no problem to get 20 million or 30 million advertising costs." Ye Ming, this guy has eaten up to us.
I took it and felt a little lost. If you don't take it, the leaders above are not easy to explain. Never mind. I'd better ask for instructions first, right?" Since he came to find Ye Ming, he naturally has certain rights. But he is a cadre who is unwilling to take risks, after hearing Ye Ming's offer, he calculated it and found that this matter is not cost-effective, so he simply asked the leader directly.
Su Dong glanced at Wen Zheng, who was leaving, snorted and said, "This person, he has no opinion at all, I see that this step is also his limit." Director Ouyang, what do you mean? ā
Su Dong, this guy, is going to talk about it and listen to what Director Ouyang means, but Director Ouyang naturally said that he would not be taken lightly, and he smiled and said: "The longer this matter drags on, the more troublesome it will be." There was no positive answer at all. And at this time, on the side of Brilliant Film and Television, Sister Fang Fang sorted out the text and said: "Boss, is the price you offered at this time a little higher, I know that this is the second round of broadcasting rights, and the price of an episode is more than 100,000 yuan, will they accept this?"
Ye Ming said with great certainty: "You can rest assured about this matter, they will definitely accept it, and it means that in such a matter, they will definitely compete to accept such a price, time waits for no one, they will strive to sign the second round of broadcast rights when other satellite TV reacts, otherwise, it will be until the third round." I can't say what else will happen. But at least in the case of self-installation, Mango Terrace and Oriental Terrace will definitely start. ā
After Sister Fang Fang saw a copy of the text, she frowned and said: "Although there is no big problem with our funds, but in such a situation, the relationship between our brilliant cinema line and those film companies is not very relaxed, and it is difficult for TV series to affect this aspect of the film industry." "In fact, even if it is said that in the entertainment industry, it is also an effective circle, the TV drama circle is the circle of the Heavenly Master, the film industry is the film industry, and the music world is the music industry. There are very few people like Ge You who can eat well in TV series and are actors in the film industry, and it can be said that there are only a handful of people in this wave. Therefore, in fact, everyone has their own small circle, and what the film company sees is that the ban on TV dramas is lifted, which is only for the film industry. The impact on those studios is not very large. Therefore, the scheduled films of the Brilliant Cinema Line still can't maintain the entire screening, and Guo Degang has been very busy these days. Sweating all day long, saving the scene everywhere. However, it allowed Ye Ming to retain some viewers with such an aspect.
But now it looks. In fact, on such a problem, the filmmaker doesn't appreciate it very well. Ye Ming said with a smile: "Luo Sihai, this guy made up something, in fact, this is already news that it is not what it is." On such a problem, there will be hope for a breakthrough, our country's film industry is a bit cookie-cutter this year, there is nothing outstanding, otherwise [Star Wars] would not have been introduced. Wait and see, there's always a chance. We are not in a hurry if we don't have money, and we are even less anxious when we have money. ā
Seeing Ye Ming's calm and relaxed appearance, at this time, Sister Fang Fang said curiously: "Boss, you are so sure, do you mean that you know something? Ye Ming just looked at it more long-term, thought about it and said: "The people of the New Film Association are people who want to take down our [Brilliant Cinema], and it is impossible for our company to let them succeed when they have no money, not to mention that in such a situation, I will not let them succeed." On a matter like this, you just wait to see a good show. Ye Ming said so, but Sister Fang Fang didn't know what kind of show she was watching. Who sang this good show, and what does it have to do with the pioneer of the brilliant cinema line.
Ye Ming did not answer. Sure enough, it was the same as what Ye Ming said, looking at the rising ratings. Director Ouyang and Su Wen finally couldn't help but sign a second-round broadcast contract with Brilliant Film and Television. The price is actually the same as what Ye Ming said, six million. In this way, then [Bright Sword] will bring 12 million income to Brilliant Film and Television Feng Xiaogang found Ye Ming to go drinking together, which can be regarded as for Ye Ming to celebrate, and Brilliant Film and Television can turn the corner.
didn't go anywhere else, in Feng Xiaogang's house, Xu Fan cooked a few home-cooked dishes, Feng Xiaogang first filled a glass of wine, congratulations to Ye Ming on the lifting of the ban on the TV series. This is a shocking reversal of brilliance, in such a situation. Nature says it's worth celebrating.
Feng Xiaogang said with a smile: "Yezi, I actually won't hide it from you. I didn't believe you could achieve such a thing at first. And in the face of such a dangerous situation, it is not easy to say that he survived with the company. It's not easy at all, and a lot of young people should learn from you. ā
Xu Fan also said while eating: "Yes, those young actors, after they came out of school, they were complaining that they had no chances, and they had no room to display their talents." This is a typical group of people who are high and low. Your story is an inspiration to some people like this. I heard Lao Feng keep saying, what are you discussing with the national teacher, at this time, those filmmakers will hate your brilliant film and television, otherwise, at this time, I don't know that there will be such a problem. Ye Ming looked at Feng Xiaogang and said, "Director Feng, you can be a person, it's not right for you to hide such a thing from your sister-in-law." Feng Xiaogang's temper like a small steel cannon has come up again.
At this time, he said unceremoniously: "What's so good or bad about this matter, the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, what to do with your sister-in-law, let her worry about it alone, I don't have too much confidence in this matter, plus the national teacher, plus you, I won't have too much certainty." Chen Kaige and Director Chen completely hold a grudge against you and the national teacher. Therefore, it is unlikely that you want to cooperate with Director Chen. ā
The more he said this, the more Xu Fan felt that such a thing was very mysterious, and he wanted to know what such a thing was all about. Then he said, "What's so mysterious, Yezi, tell my sister-in-law what the hell is going on." ā
Also, the matter involves the national teacher Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, the two great directors of the country, the matter will definitely not be so simple, and Ye Ming also thinks that such a problem should be told to Xu Fan about this matter.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhou said, "Sister-in-law." You know our country's box office share, after our director worked hard to shoot it, he still has to be exploited by the cinema. The share of the box office is very unfavorable to our film company and the director. This is like a cancer in Huaxia Film and Television. "What Ye Ming said is not wrong at all, even Xu Fan knows that he can't kill chickens and take eggs because of this. Xu Fan pondered for a moment and said, "This is true. Why does Lao Feng want to bind the box office share, in fact. Sometimes it's a last resort. It's just that this matter is solved, and if you don't do it like this, the director's interests will suffer. ā
Feng Xiaogang has opened a new model of directing, and it is a very advanced model, although it is also used by Hollywood, but at least it is relatively advanced in China. Ye Ming nodded and said: "That's pretty much what it means, the contradictions between theaters and film and television companies are actually constantly brewing." Our goal is 39 percent, if we can have such a share. Then it's easy to do. ā
Hearing this at this time, Xu Fan was even more puzzled: "Isn't this about the boss of the film and television company? What does it have to do with your director, Ye Zi, your theater chain is also very suppressed, you are also a member of the director's gang." Ye Ming said with great certainty: "This is the case, I still consider this issue from the position of the director." ā
At this moment, Xu Fan was even more surprised: "No, on such a problem, it should be Wang Zhongjun, Zhang Weiping, and a few bigwigs come forward, what are you doing with the coaxing." ā
It's really hard to explain this thing. But Ye Ming also had to explain such a thing clearly: "Sister-in-law, look at what you said, a few of us are just a representative. The new flower noodles are Zhang Yimou, and the Huayi brothers are Director Feng. Our brilliance is that I stepped in. This is just a tentative attack, and in such a matter, we will not lose much if we fail, but it can make Wang Zhongjun and his few bosses on the other side of the passage virtual. We don't necessarily have to succeed, but we need to know what the bottom line of the new film association and their theaters is. ā
Xu Fan finally reported the matter, and she said unceremoniously at the moment: "This matter, it is difficult for you to succeed, how can the things set above just say that this season has changed." No way. ā
At this time, Feng Xiaogang snorted and said, "How do you know that this thing can't be done." Maybe it will succeed?"
This thing. Feng Xiaogang hopes to succeed, once he can succeed. At least the private production companies will be more profitable at this point, and that said. With the company's money, he can have more room to play as a director. How can I make a movie without money? Moreover, this share is simply a share under the nature of monopoly, which is not easy to solve.
Xu Fan shook his head and said, "It's difficult, will the new film association give people the fat on the side of their mouths? That's impossible." If you want to get to 39 percent, it's almost impossible. What Xu Fan said is also reasonable, and it is a very realistic sentence. At this time, Feng Xiaogang finally didn't insist anymore, but said with some frustration: "If it can't be successful this time, then this year's Chinese New Year file will be a piece of fat for the new film association." ā
After two years of development, the Lunar New Year stalls are quite a huge market. However, the cinema chain is actually the big one, and even Ye Ming has his own cinema chain, but it means that Ye Ming's brilliant film and television have been suppressed. The New Film Association still wants to eat brilliant film and television. If it weren't for the estimated Warner Brothers, at this time, Ye Ming's theater chain would have been taken down long ago.
In fact, the two of them didn't drink much at this time, because there was still one at night, and Zhang Yimou beckoned Feng Xiaogang and Ye Ming to his studio in the evening, and Feng Xiaogang muttered on the way: "Ye Zi, you say, this time the guy surnamed Liu, will he give in, I don't think this guy has any good intentions." ā
Ye Ming himself is not sure, after all, there are too many things involved in this matter, and it can be said that it affects the whole body. Even the national teacher Zhang Yimou may not be sure. Therefore, Ye Ming thought for a while and said, "Yesterday I asked Director Zhang about this matter. He is not sure, what do you say we should do, let's see, since Liu Dong said that he is willing to come, then I think there is still room for negotiation. ā
Ye Ming himself is very difficult to draw conclusions about this matter. Just when the two of them were entangled, they went downstairs to Zhang Yimou's studio. Go upstairs, this time. Zhang Yimou was in his studio, a little worried. It was originally a bitter and hateful face, but in such a situation, it can be said that it is a little dull to say that it is still such a deep driver.
After Feng Xiaogang came in, he smiled and said, "Director Zhang, this is not your usual temper, you can endure it." ā
Zhang Yimou still said to Chen Mendi: "Wait and see, but this time you don't have to have much ideals, this time we are just a tentative attack." And I want to say something like this. As soon as Chairman Liu came, he might complain. After all, we are on the underdog. ā
These words came out of Zhang Yimou's mouth, which was originally a little unbelievable, Zhang Yimou, the national teacher, actually said that he was in a weak position. In such a matter, who is still strong? A lot of people probably won't believe in such a question. But Ye Ming really believes in such a problem.
Even if he is a director, even if Zhang Yimou is an international director, but in such a situation, facing a giant who is loyal to the cinema chain. Zhang Yimou still has to stand on the position of the weak.
After Chairman Liu came to the studio, he saw the three of them, obviously not surprised. I know that these three must be coming, so it's not good to go. said directly: "All three of them are here, then this is the best thing." What about your mention, in fact, the starting point is to ask, if you look at it from my personal point of view, then you think your mention yƬ is still very right, even as an old filmmaker. In my opinion, it should be profitable. ā
This is the case. Speaking of which, Ye Ming and the three of them did not move. Because, Chairman Liu, this is impossible at all. Does it mean that the new film association will give in? It seems that this is an impossible thing.
Sure enough, in such a situation, Chairman Liu changed his style and said: "But, after all, such a thing is not something that I can call the shots alone, this is a matter that has a lot to do with it, if you want to increase this share, I almost say that it is impossible, and I said that your words are reflected to the above, but there is no response at all." [Maybe it's to say that you're right, but the above naturally says that there are above considerations.] I also hope you understand this, I know that the three of them are everyone, and at such a time, as the leader of the industry, in fact, it is also to give young people a leading role and shoot good works. This is the leader's original words, and I relayed this matter myself, is it a little different from what you think? ā
Ye Ming was helpless, but he also understood very well what this was going on, in fact, he had long known that it would be such a result. Originally, this time, Ye Ming, Zhang Yimou, and Feng Xiaogang took advantage of a critical time like the Chinese New Year file to negotiate with the New Film Association, wanting to increase the share of a good film to 39%, maybe this can be successful. In fact, it also proves that Ye Ming is right when he thinks about such a problem. At this time, why would the people of the New Film Association give in?
In fact, they are also very clear that on such a problem, once they say that they make concessions, then it is impossible to change back in the future. Therefore, this time, the people of the New Film Association rejected such a thing in a very simple way.
Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming also said with a smile: "I just thought that this matter is not so simple, and this result is also in my expectation." If you want to increase this percentage point, it will take a long way to go.
However, Chairman Lou, I'm a little unwilling."
Ye Ming is very unwilling, especially in such a matter, it is also related to Ye Ming's vital interests, at such a time, Ye Ming's [Nightclub] [People in Embarrassment] will have two movies released, if it can be increased by one percentage point, then at such a time, it will also be a lot of profits. Chairman Liu couldn't see this in the same way.
At this time, he said with a smile: "It is impossible for your own works to change the way of sharing, and it is impossible to change this year." At least for a long time, I don't think it's going to change. Because you want to change the interests of too many people. In this case, do you still have a reason not to fail?" "If it is said that the film and television company is lost, then at this time, the aspect of the theater chain is obviously that it will suffer losses, which is a very normal thing. But will the theater chain suffer? Therefore, Ye Ming and they will not succeed.
This is something that two people can't change casually, and it is impossible to change without the general trend, even if it is a national teacher, a Chinese New Year film master and a cutting-edge director are all the same results. (To be continued)
