Chapter 701: None of them are stupid

(2-in-1, 5,000 word chapters)

The meeting continued......

The first season of "We Are Singers" is finally set on Friday, October 21.

is different from the recording and broadcasting in the previous life, under Chu Qiankun's suggestion, it was broadcast live.

After all, it was nearly eight years in advance, and if you want to achieve a sensational effect at the moment, and want to get the maximum publicity effect, live broadcast is a good gimmick.

Of course, the live broadcast wants to take more risks, and inviting famous singers to participate in such a competitive talent show has already discouraged many people.

And the way of live broadcast made this situation even worse, and there were very few singers who agreed to participate.

This is not a concert, but a competition in front of hundreds of millions of viewers across the country, and the risks faced can be imagined.

After becoming famous, everyone will cherish their feathers more and tolerate problems in life, but few people are willing to take singing as a child's play.

The former may be a good promotional copy, and the latter is careless, which is to smash his golden job.

If Hong Guotao knew that Chu Qiankun ridiculed him for not being domineering, he would definitely vomit blood angrily, and it would be good for a singer to agree to participate, and he would be domineering.

Is he domineering?

The time when the show was set was also delayed because of the singer's repetition.

When Mango TV signed the agreement with Xingchen Media, it didn't expect that it would cause so much confusion because of live broadcast and recording.

As the boss of the provincial station, entertainment stars from all walks of life have always been eager to appear on their programs, and there is no need to worry about no one at all.

I have not had a sense of distress for a long time, and finally fell behind on this reality show variety show.

When the preparations for various techniques and stage art in the early stage were over, and the singer candidates began to be brewed, they encountered Waterloo.

I was full of interest, thinking that I would ask for an approval, and I would shout a response.

As a result, the reality is diametrically opposed.

In addition to Dong Jiani, the other six singers who started the show invited bumps and bumps, and their hearts were cold.

With no choice, Hong Guotao had no choice but to slap himself in the face and went to Dongzhou to find Chu Qiankun, hoping to cancel the live broadcast and change it to a recorded broadcast.

How can this work, this is a big gimmick, comparable to listening to a live concert of a singer, if it is changed to a recorded broadcast, there will be no expected effect.

Chu Qiankun refused on the spot, and Hong Guotao was depressed.

But what can I do about this, this is a contract, and signing a contract with Chu Qiankun will never be indispensable, which is a high amount of liquidated damages.

The absolute high is numb, but because the liquidated damages are aimed at both parties, when signing the agreement, there are basically few objections.

Only when there is a real default, the party who wants to default will suddenly find that this amount is really not what they can bear.

It is impossible for Hong Guotao to grit his teeth and swallow this bitter fruit, if he returns to Mango Terrace like this, the Taiwan leaders can eat him.

In desperation, I had to find a good friend, Lin Xiuqin, a teacher at Dongzhou Conservatory of Music, and asked her to come forward to be a peacemaker and help make peace.

Lin Xiuqin once dealt with Chu Qiankun, and to tell her heart, she was very frightened of Chu Qiankun, a boy who was as old as her student, and inexplicably didn't want to contact him.

But he couldn't stand Hong Guotao's soft words and begging, and then thought of the past of the two, so in desperation, he had to grit his teeth and call Liu Yiyi and Dong Jiani, asking them to be her middleman, and ask Chu Qiankun to come out and chat.

Liu Yiyi led the team to stake outside at that time, not in Dongzhou, Dong Jiani was very coincidental, just in time for a few days to catch up with an announcement, and was resting in Dongzhou.

Lin Xiuqin is their teacher, and she usually treats them really well, and this teacher-student relationship is still very strong.

So the two girls discussed, they didn't participate in specific matters, and it was okay to help her make an appointment with Chu Qiankun purely for her.

So, at a big meal, two men and two women, sat down.

Seeing Hong Guotao going around such a big circle, he still wanted to change the form of broadcasting, Chu Qiankun really couldn't cry or laugh.

It seems that Hong Guotao is indeed desperate, otherwise, it would be impossible to find Lin Xiuqin.

I don't know what he thinks, do you think it will be useful to find Lin Xiuqin, Lin Xiuqin can't even talk about friendship with him, what effect can it have.

Facts have proved that Lin Xiuqin is also very self-aware and knows the depth of her relationship with Chu Qiankun, so she didn't characterize herself as an intermediary at all.

If Chu Qiankun is asked out, her task will be completed, and the rest of the matter will be returned to Hong Guotao, and she will not participate in it at all.

is as clear as her thinking, and Dong Jiani.

So, two women, a teacher and a student, a singer and a fan, leaned tightly, shielded the other two men, and ate and chatted about life.

Chu Qiankun was similar, concentrating on dealing with the food in front of him.

Under his operation, Hong Guotao is obviously famous earlier and has achieved great achievements than in his previous life.

Eat his "small meal", which is not what it should be, holding a large lobster claw, and studying without distractions.

In the "Four-Person Eating Gang", Hong Guotao, who paid for a treat, was the only one who couldn't eat, and the food was current and tasteless.

I didn't even feel like I was in the mood to appreciate the dishes, I was full of anxiety and anxious.

Chu Qiankun was eating, he was saying, one was happy to eat, and the other was painful.

It wasn't until the tea time after the meal that Chu Qiankun, who had not spoken much, let alone let go of his mouth, finally spoke: "Director Hong, I heard you say so much, it's nothing more than that cliché question, the form of live broadcast, you can't invite enough good singers, and the quality of the program is difficult to guarantee, isn't it?"

Although Hong Guotao said a lot, the central idea is these two points.

Fortunately, Chu Qiankun didn't want their cooperation to have problems, and didn't want "We Are Singers" to be postponed again and the situation would arise again.

All his preparations are basically in place, whether it is Xingchen Media or OK Clothing, they all need this reality show.

From the hidden purpose, he needs this variety show more than Mango Channel and Hong Guotao.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to be estranged from Mango Channel because of a problem with the broadcast format.

Even if Hong Guotao didn't go to Lin Xiuqin and didn't come to arrange this dinner, in two days, he would go back to him.

He already had a way, and he hung Hong Guotao for the time being, but it was just a need for negotiation, and he did it deliberately.

"Yes, in your original plan, you also deliberately emphasized this point, the singers participating in this show must have one or two people who can hold the stage and have a certain status in the singing industry. There must also be one or two famous singers who are currently famous, seven singers, covering the old, middle and young. “

"It's just that there is not much of a problem with the old and the young now, and the singers of the middle generation are really hard to find. These people cherish feathers the most, and they are afraid that there will be any flaws during the live broadcast, which will affect their fame. ”

Hong Guotao depressedly picked up his wine glass and took a big sip.

As soon as the young singers grab a handful, they have a lot of mango stations, which can be used at any time.

For these young people, being able to compete with their predecessors on the same stage is a good thing that they can't ask for in their lifetime.

What went wrong, what bad grades, what was crushed, for them, it didn't matter.

As long as they can show their faces and go on stage, that is success, and it is a new starting point for their singer career.

And the older generation of singers, although the base is not large, is still active in the music scene.

But these powerful celebrities who have a lot of fame have no worries.

Either with the mentality of having fun, or with the purpose of supporting and helping young singers and boosting the domestic music market, I readily agreed.

The most difficult thing is the "centrist", there is heat, and the most afraid of cold.

Chu Qiankun said lightly and with some disdain: "Cut, in the final analysis, I am still not confident in my singing level." They have concerns, so you can just raise some appearance fees. Are you afraid that you won't be able to hire someone if you have money?"

Hong Guotao glanced at Chu Qiankun deeply, and said with a bitter face: "My big boss Chu, in order to invite these singers, we give the top contracts in the industry. Other programs in the station have a lot of whispers about this, If I improve it again, not to mention that my peers will accuse us, even my colleagues in the station can drown me with saliva. ”

In order to get this one, he himself is also very optimistic about the reality show, he really did his best, and the leaders were also kind words, did a lot of work, and got a lot of unprecedented good policies.

For this reason, Taili also gave him a large amount of operating funds in advance, where did he dare to use his brains on money again.

Now I am thinking that I can shoot a few advertising spaces at a good price to ensure that this show does not lose money.

"Top contract, Director Hong, you can't do this, bully newcomers. Dong Jiani and Star Legend, why don't you have a top-level contract. I heard Fang Shaohua say that he signed a basic security contract before, which is a bit bullying. ”

Chu Qiankun said excitedly, and he excitedly chatted with Lin Xiuqin on the side, and Dong Jiani, one of the parties involved, was startled.

Several people stared at Chu Qiankun in surprise, Hong Guotao's face was like constipation, and he was miserable: "Mr. Chu, can we not make this joke, Dong Jiani and the Legend of the Star only need to sign a guarantee contract, didn't you set it at the beginning? You can't forget it, right?"

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Chu Qiankun asked knowingly, and winked at Dong Jiani: "Then maybe I forgot." In that case, I'm going to give you a note to ensure that you don't have the trouble you have now. ”

"What's the solution, say it quickly. Is it a transcription?"

Hong Guotao excitedly grabbed Chu Qiankun's arm, as long as the broadcast method is changed, many problems can be solved.

Now it seems that there are many troubles, but in fact, all the points are focused on Chu Qiankun, as long as he nods, all the difficulties and problems will be solved.

"No, I won't change this live stream. Chu Qiankun shook his head and said firmly: "However, I can guarantee that the method I come up with can help you deal with those hesitant singers." ”

"Really? What is the solution, say it quickly, my dear Boss Chu. ”

Hong Guotao was very anxious, if it weren't for the fact that he was an old man, he would have gone up and hugged Chu Qiankun to be coquettish.

The corners of Chu Qiankun's mouth curled, and he smiled and said, "You know that we Xingchen Media have a mysterious songwriting wizard 7+1." ”

"Nonsense, 7+1 daimyo, who doesn't know. But you've done a good job of secrecy, and you haven't revealed who he really is. I heard that several gossip entertainment companies funded the purchase of his identity information, but they were unsuccessful. You can do a good job of secrecy education in the stars. Hong Guotao's eyes widened, and he even gossiped: "Hey, who is 7+1? Is it necessary to be so mysterious?"

Chu Qiankun smiled faintly, to buy 7+1 information, then ordinary employees have to know before they can sell it!

However, he is the identity of 7+1, and there are few people who know it, and it is difficult for entertainment reporters to buy off a few executives around him!

Leaning back, he said slowly: "Who he is, I really can't say." My solution, though, is to ask him to write a few songs. You use these songs as bait to see if you can catch a few singer fish. ”

"Really!" Hong Guotao's eyes, like a cat that saw a fish, burst out fiercely.

7+1 songs, who doesn't want them, if you really hold the songs he wrote in your hands, then the bargaining chips can be multiplied.

At that time, the offensive and defensive transposition, it was not a question of whether those hesitant singers would come, but who he wanted to come, and who he wanted to come.

stood up excitedly, bent his upper body, and stared at Chu Qiankun's eyes at an ambiguous angle.

Chu Qiankun sat up straight, gently pushed Hong Guotao, and asked him to sit down again: "What are you doing so excited." Calm, calm. ”

He also silently took a sip of tea, suppressing the shock, Hong Guotao's eyes just now scared him.

At that moment, in his eyes, Chu Qiankun seemed to see the back mountain, and his grandmother's was too scary.

"Don't be joking, it's going to kill people. If there is really a 7+1 song, then there is definitely no need to change the broadcast form, and the live broadcast is no problem at all. Hong Guotao, who had just sat down, couldn't help but stand up again, and began to circle the magic of love: "Are you sure that 7+1 will help write songs?"

"Sure, you don't have to worry about that, he'll still listen to me. Chu Qiankun said very easily: "However, I still have a few conditions here, and I hope Director Hong can agree." ”

The little fox shows its tail!

Hong Guotao, who sat down again, raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Qiankun, his eyes had long since lost the excitement and excitement just now, and he looked like he was waiting happily.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, who doesn't know how to act!

Lin Xiuqin and Dong Jiani glanced at the two of them, and then looked at each other, and they were happy, they were indeed the two opponents in chess.

After doing it for a long time, I have only now really entered the main chess.

Hong Guotao didn't drink the wine anymore, and the same tea was changed, and he squinted and said, "What are the conditions, Mr. Chu, please say." ”

Chu Qiankun smiled evilly, "This is the first, in the list of fill-in singers, give me another place, don't go on stage too many times, just two." ”

Hong Guotao touched his chin, thought about it for a while, and then nodded: "It's no problem if you only play twice, but his agreement can only be signed." It's fair to Dong Jiani and them like this, don't you say?"

As he spoke, he deliberately nodded at Dong Jiani.

Fill-in singers are definitely not as big as the starting singers, and they will basically be dominated by young singers.

Who is not using it, and the singer who uses the stars, there is still a signing fee left.

Why not!

"......" Chu Qiankun really wanted to scold, the old fox can really calculate, this fair theory, he can't refute: "Okay, the contract doesn't matter, young man, just go on stage and exercise." ”

Hong Guotao also wanted to scold, still young, who can be younger than you.

Stretched out his hand and motioned for Chu Qiankun to continue.

"Second, it's about advertising bidding. In my opinion, except for the biggest naming rights, other advertisements will not be filmed in the first episode. ”

This was an idea he had a long time ago, but he never communicated with Hong Guotao.

"Mr. Chu, this is inappropriate. For this show, we have spent a lot of money on the station. Just waiting for this advertising revenue to fill the hole. If you don't auction it in advance, you may lose a lot of money. Besides, our peace agreement can be marked in black and white, this advertising and leasing thing belongs to our mango, you ....... it."

In Hong Guotao's words, he was a little dissatisfied, and he was a little unhappy with Chu Qiankun's long-arm behavior.

Chu Qiankun could roughly guess his thoughts, and in the end, he was still not confident.

Although he himself is very optimistic about this show, how will he react to the market, will the audience buy it, and can the ratings be Changhong?

There is still no bottom, and it can't compare to Chu Qiankun's confidence and calmness.

With a wave of his hand, Chu Qiankun adjusted his seat and said, "Don't be impatient, it's not what you think, you listen to me first." If there is no commercial in the first episode, it looks like it will have an impact on the revenue of the show, but it is not. ”

"Now that the effect of the show has not yet come out, it is difficult for advertisers to shell out real money with just a plan. The price of this auction will not be high. We will not auction the advertising revenue of the first episode, and then auction it when the show is broadcast and has a good reputation. “

"At that time, the brands would take the initiative to increase the price. I don't know how much more the income from this extra shoot is more than the loss of one episode. People who do business, but no one is stupid, as long as the show is popular, they spend money, don't be too generous. ”

Chu Qiankun's eloquent talk did not impress Hong Guotao.

frowned and asked rhetorically: "What you are thinking about now is only the good side, only considering the success of the show, and the late auction of an episode can bring greater profits." However, have you thought about another possibility, if the response of the show is not good and the ratings are not high, wouldn't the price of the advertisement be lower?"

spitting Chu Qiankun's groove fiercely in his heart, businessmen are indeed not stupid, and he Hong Guotao is not stupid.

There are two sides to everything, and if there is a good side, there will naturally be a bad possibility.

"That's right," Chu Qiankun slapped his forehead, as if he had just realized and figured it out, but he immediately remembered something: "It's okay, don't we still have an auction of naming rights? Besides, we have to have faith in our own show!"
