Li Weijie returned to Penguin Video headquarters in Pengcheng, and after he completed the project approval process of the variety show "Me and My Concert", he rushed back to Kyoto to meet Chen Minhao with the drawn up contract.

The agreed meeting place is in Chen Minhao's studio.

After Li Weijie arrived, the front desk of the studio brought Li Weijie into the most conference room of the studio.

Li Weijie waited for less than a minute, and Chen Minhao, Kang Hui, and the legal counsel hired by the company also entered the conference room.

After the two sides met, after a simple greeting, Li Weijie took out the contract from his purse and said:

"According to our previous agreement, "Me and My Concert" will be recorded for about 8 episodes, and your appearance fee is 12 million. ”

To be honest, this remuneration is very high for ordinary people, but for Chen Minhao, this remuneration is not high.

Because some variety shows wanted to cooperate with Chen Minhao before, they made an offer of 2 million per issue.

However, Chen Minhao is more satisfied with this contract, and what he values most is this content in the contract:

"During the filming, if there is a disagreement or opinion between Party A and Party B, Party A shall communicate with Party B and shall not directly order or interfere with Party B's work beyond its authority. ”

With this clause in place, Chen Minhao's autonomy can be guaranteed.

Chen Minhao also had a lawyer hired outside the studio, and after repeatedly checking that there were no problems with the contract, Chen Minhao signed his name with a black carbon pen, and then stamped the seal of the studio.

Li Weijie was relieved to see that Chen Minhao had "signed and drawn".

None of the people sitting across the table were easy to mess with, he was really too difficult.

After Li Weijie put away the contract, he said: "Due to some historical problems left over from "Me and My Concert", this show cannot be exposed yet, and I hope you will keep it strictly confidential. ”

After saying that, he took out a stack of "non-disclosure agreements" from his bag and asked everyone in the conference room to sign them.

After Chen Minhao read the content of the confidentiality agreement, there was no problem, then nodded and signaled that everyone could sign it.

Li Weijie just mentioned the problem left over from history. Although he mentioned it very vaguely, everyone in the room knew what he was talking about - Mango TV.

Now is the time to repair the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and darken Chen Cang, Chen Minhao is still dragging Mango Satellite TV.

Before the official announcement of "Me and My Concert", this variety show could not be known to Mango TV.

Penguin Video has done everything they can to keep "Me and My Concert" strictly secret.

First of all, in terms of process, with the support of Chen De, VP of Penguin Video who is now in charge of content production, the approval process has been given the green light all the way.

And the staff of each approval link are also required to keep this variety show strictly confidential, and even asked not to talk about it with uninformed colleagues at this time.

Secondly, the location of the contract is normally placed at the headquarters of Penguin Video.

But in order to avoid letting others know that Chen Minhao and Penguin Video were going to cooperate, Li Weijie deliberately went to Kyoto with the contract and put the signing location in Chen Minhao's studio.

In the end, both the staff of Penguin Video and the participants of Chen Minhao's studio were required to sign confidentiality agreements. Let everyone understand that leaking is an untouchable bottom line.

After Li Weijie put away the confidentiality agreement signed by everyone, he said to Chen Minhao with a smile: "Originally, our VP Chen De, who was in charge of content production, Mr. Chen wanted to fly to Kyoto to meet you in person this time, but this time the company really had something to do, and I couldn't leave, so in the end, I was the only one who came." ”

However, after Chen Minhao listened to Li Weijie's words, he just replied as if he didn't take it to heart at all.

"It's okay, there will always be a chance to meet in the future. Now that the contract has been signed, when will we officially announce this variety show?"

Li Weijie said: "As long as we finish filming a promotional video, it's fine." We're going to use it as a promo for "Me and My Concert" in the form of a simple interview, can you see it?"

Chen Minhao nodded and said, "In terms of program promotion, you must be more professional than me, I listen to you." ”

After hearing Chen Minhao's words, Li Weijie breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, this time, Mr. Chen nodded and agreed to add a clause to the contract to ensure Chen Minhao's autonomy, and Mr. Chen and he resisted a lot of pressure at the company level.

Li Weijie was originally worried that after Chen Minhao had this "Shang Fang Sword", he would do whatever he wanted.

But from the current point of view, Chen Minhao is still quite sensible. No, to be precise, he is quite a smart person.

He knows how to leave professional things to professional people.

Li Weijie smiled slightly, and continued to ask: "Regarding the planning of the concert, Chen Minhao, do you have any ideas now?"

Chen Minhao nodded, no nonsense, he went back to his office and got a document, handed it to Li Weijie, and then said:

"This is a simple plan we came out yesterday. ”

When the company's external legal counsel heard that the specific content was going to be involved, he stood up very interestingly and said: "If I am not needed here, I will leave first, and if you have something, call me at any time." ”

After he saw Chen Minhao nodding, he directly pushed the door and left.

He was afraid that he would stay any longer, and wait for him to sign a few more non-disclosure agreements.

After Li Weijie picked up the planning book, he looked at it quickly, and after he saw half of it, he was shocked.

He read the passage twice, word for word, to make sure his understanding wasn't skewed.

When he finished watching it for the third time, he finally couldn't help it, he raised his head, looked at Chen Minhao and asked, "You have a total of four concerts, and then you plan to sing a new song at each concert?"

Chen Minhao nodded and said, "Yes, that's what it means." Isn't that okay?"

Li Weijie hesitated for a moment and said: "Yes, but the new song is not released, is it a bit of a loss for you to take it out at the concert?"

Chen Minhao shook his head and said, "After the concert is over, I will include these songs in a new album." As for whether to suffer or not, this is a matter of benevolence and wisdom. I plan to use this means to get as many people as possible to pay attention to my concert, so that more people can pay attention to me. ”

Li Weijie said worriedly: "But this requires a particularly high quality of each new song. If one of your new songs isn't up to par, I'm afraid a lot of people will laugh at you for being sensational. ”

Chen Minhao heard that Li Weijie was worried about the quality of the song, he smiled, looked at Li Weijie and said, "You don't have to worry about the quality of the song." ”

Li Weijie was stunned: "Has the song been written?"

"It hasn't been written yet. Chen Minhao smiled, paused the fragment, pointed to his brain with his right hand, and said, "Don't worry, the song is already in my head." ”

Li Weijie returned to Pengcheng with Chen Minhao's plan, and he went to find Chen De, VP of Penguin Video, who is now in charge of content production.

Li Weijie recounted the process of going to Chen Minhao to sign the contract in detail.

After listening to this, Chen De nodded and said: "I can probably understand Chen Minhao's thoughts, his appeal is that he will handle the content of the program himself, and then we will operate the things promoted by the program." I really wanted to meet him, and I felt like I hadn't seen a young man who was both smart and restrained in many years. ”

Li Weijie nodded, he agreed with Chen De's statement, and he asked curiously: "Then let's follow Chen Minhao's idea and let him sing a new song at each concert?"

Chen De raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with this?"

Li Weijie thought for a while and said, "It's not bad, I just think this move is a bit risky." Stability can win the situation add some variables. ”

Chen De sighed and said: "To grasp the main contradiction in doing things, the most important thing for us is that this show is popular." Only if there is popularity, then the number of broadcasts is considerable, and there is a father who is willing to advertise. As for whether to take risks or not, that's Chen Minhao's business, and he just decides for himself. ”

Li Weijie thought about it and felt that this was indeed the truth. His own thinking should have to make some adjustments, and he must slowly change from the original director of variety shows to the producer of variety shows.

Chen De asked: "How is the promotional video of "Me and My Concert"?"

Li Weijie said: "At present, the preparations have been completed, and we will go to Kyoto tomorrow to shoot." ”

Chen De nodded and said, "Okay, you keep an eye on this matter and make sure that the promotional video is launched on Sunday." ”

Chen De rubbed his temples and said, "I thought about it for a while, and the publicity resources will be further tilted towards "Me and My Concert", and let's follow the A-level variety show." ”

"A-grade?" Li Weijie couldn't believe his ears.

General variety shows can be divided into "S-level", "A-level", "B-level", "second-line" and general programs according to the magnitude.

The main difference between the tiers is the amount of resources invested.

Investment is naturally for returns, generally speaking, S-level variety shows must have at least a single episode broadcast of more than 100 million to have an objective return, while A-level variety shows must have at least 50 million per episode to have an objective return.

Li Weijie is actually very optimistic about the variety show "Me and My Concert", and he thinks that this may become a model of small investment and big returns.

But he feels that this variety show is still some distance from A-level.

After all, which A-level variety show is not a big name. And the "concert" feels a bit unpopular and will turn away some potential audiences.

You must know that the number of netizens in the entire Huaxia is 800 million, if it is 5,000 in a single episode, that is to say, there is, one out of every 16 netizens watched this variety show.

Chen De looked at Li Weijie's surprised expression, smiled and said, "I have a hunch that this variety show will explode." And Chen Minhao especially emphasized the autonomy of the content of the show, I think he has other killer features besides new songs every time. ”

Chen De is the superior, although Li Weijie has some objections in his heart, but he also knows that he listens to Chen De.

Li Weijie nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll coordinate resources according to A-level." ”

Before Li Weijie left the office, Chen De couldn't help but tell again, "Remember that before the promotional video is launched, this show must be kept strictly confidential." ”
