Chapter 370: It's Time to Ask for Money
In the days that followed.
Wang Qiang, together with the chief director and the six assistant directors, collectively discussed, and finally wrote out all the column plans, covering all aspects.
Everything that can be thought of in memory is basically written down.
That morning, Wang Qiang received a call from Guoxing Trading, saying that the visa had been issued and that he could leave for the United States tomorrow.
"The Voice" column group.
Wang Qiang, who received the call, immediately found the chief director Xu Dongmin and the producer Yang Junguo, "Director Xu, Yang is the producer." ”
The two looked over, and Xu Dongmin said, "Vice President Wang, what's the matter?"
"Give me a copy of the program plan. Wang Qiang explained: "In addition, I want to leave the column group for a while, and you should prepare first." ”
Yang Junguo sighed: "Can you go, the column was planned by you, what if you are not with us?"
Wang Qiang smiled and said, "According to the plan, it's okay, I'll rush back as soon as possible." ”
Assistant director Xue Minjuan came over and asked curiously: "Are you going back to the company?"
"No, to the United States. Wang Qiang explained, "The domestic audio equipment can't support such a big stage as a good sound, so I have to get some audio equipment from the United States back, and the company has some things, so I will deal with it by the way." ”
That being said, in fact, he is mainly busy with the company's affairs, and the audio equipment is incidental.
But on the other hand, why was The Voice of China so successful later? In addition to marketing planning and so on, the main reason is that the audio equipment is the most luxurious in the industry, that is, a large recording studio that can accommodate 2,000 people, and the equipment alone has burned 20 million yuan, so it can naturally create a "good sound".
Otherwise, how good can you sing just by singing?
It's not good to say, some people are nothing more than KTV level, especially on peak nights, many people leaked it, of course, especially referring to the later seasons, the quality of the first season is still very high.
"Okay, we got it. Xu Dongmin agreed.
Yang Junguo reminded: "If you want to go, remember to say hello to Director Lu." ”
Wang Qiang belched, "Okay." ”
Then he went to Lu Gu again, told him about the matter, and asked the column team to take 15 million yuan to bring him to the United States to buy audio equipment.
Lu Gu almost jumped up when he heard that he wanted fifteen million to buy audio equipment, and he was dumbfounded: "How much do you say?"
"Fifteen million. Wang Qiang said as a matter of course.
Lu Gu couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, "Is this necessary?"
Wang Qiang said: "If you want to ensure ratings, this is a must, our biggest selling point is the sound, if there is no top-notch audio equipment, how to create a good sound?"
Lu Gu looked at him, "Our TV station also has good audio equipment, if you are willing, you can still have a lot of money left." ”
Wang Qiang shook his head and said: "We are recording, and when it is played, the sound quality will definitely be a little different from the scene, I have heard of CCTV's audio equipment, it is a little flawed, Director Lu, since this project is handed over to me as the overall commander, then I hope you believe me 100%." ”
Lu Gu thought about it for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Anyway, the money is all yours, and it doesn't make sense if I don't agree, Cheng, I'll talk to the finance." ”
In the remaining half a day, Wang Qiang first got a copy of the planning of "The Voice of China", and then confirmed that CCTV had indeed transferred 15 million yuan from the account to himself, and then took the plane back to Shanghai at 7 o'clock in the evening.
……
Early the next morning.
Wang Qiang and Wang Baoguo boarded the plane to the US imperialists again.
This trip did not have Boss Wang to book a ticket for them, and Wang Qiang, who was naturally short of money in the company, was not willing to buy a first-class ticket, but took a business class.
Fourteen or fifteen hours later.
The plane landed slowly at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, USA.
It was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and Wang Qiang and his father took a taxi to find a hotel to stay.
Subsequently, he used the hotel phone to contact nine brands one by one.
The first contact was Coach.
Toot beet, the phone went through, and the bold voice of their account manager, George Jacob, came from the other side, "Hello, I'm George Jacob, the account manager of Coach. ”
Wang Qiang said bluntly: "I am Wang Qiang of Guoxing Trade." ”
The voice on the other side immediately changed and became affectionate, "Oh, dear king, is there anything you have to do with me?"
"I've just arrived in the U.S. and I want to inform you about something. Wang Qiang said the matter, "When I signed the contract with you before, I promised to hold a luxury award ceremony, and now I am already preparing, and there are still some small details that need to be discussed with people you can talk to, do you think when you are free, let your company send someone to meet with me?"
George Jacob immediately said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask Mr. Lou Francover." ”
Frankfer is the Chairman and CEO of Coach.
Wang Qiang agreed, and then the phone on the other side was resting on the table without hanging points.
About five minutes later, George Jacob came back and said, "The chairman said that someone will be sent tomorrow at 1 p.m., and you will arrange a location?"
Wang Qiang said the location of the hotel, and he was not going to go anywhere else.
After contacting Coach, he informed CK a second time.
"Mr. Calvin Klein, can you send someone over tomorrow......?
"Okay, one o'clock in the afternoon, yes? I'll send someone on time. ”
The third Kate Spade.
Fourth ......
Fifth ......
After the nine brands were notified, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
Wang Qiang's mouth was dry, and he hung up the phone and was about to find water to drink, but he saw that his father had already handed over a bottle of mineral water.
Wang Baoguo said with concern: "How is it?"
Wang Qiang smiled: "The contact is almost over, we will meet tomorrow, but I haven't told them about the money yet." ”
"If we do a project, will they give money?" Wang Baoguo said a little worried.
Wang Qiang said confidently: "Why not?"
Wang Baoguo said: "You think, the project is our company, and it is our company that ultimately profits.
Wang Qiang smiled, picked up the "Voice of China" planning book on the bedside table and raised it, "With this." ”
This is a good voice, not only in China, but also in the United States.
Lu Gu and others appreciated "The Voice" so much before, which shows that there is not much difference between the vision of people in the current era and those who come after them, and they can see the value of Good Voice.
So, since "The Voice" has such great value, it is not easy to get advertising expenses such as naming fees and special fees?
In addition, Wang Qiang doesn't just want to get this money from the brand, he also wants to sell the mentor team for money.
The time has come to ask for money.
As for how much Wang Qiang can get in the end, he doesn't know in his heart, and he will only know after contacting nine brands tomorrow.
However, he naturally hopes that the more the better, after all, he has to smash in 30 million, so his minimum goal is to recover the cost, and the highest is ...... Of course, the more the better, Wang Qiang has a faint hunch, maybe he can make money tomorrow, as long as he flickers properly and performs a little better eloquence, he is afraid that these brands will not pay money?
Either way, that's tomorrow.
Today, Wang Qiang is ready to take a good rest, prepare his spirits, and when he wakes up, he must find ways to let the brands give more money to himself, otherwise I am sorry for spending so much effort to plan this project.
