Chapter 178: Break?

In the blink of an eye, the August heat wave hits, and time always passes quietly in the busy.

The development of Xingchen Sea is good, the number of companies has exceeded 250 people, and all departments are more sound, but they are still in a crazy recruitment period, and each department is clamoring for not enough people.

The TV series "Conquest" and "Wulin Gaiden" also started filming in mid-July, and it is expected that all filming will be completed in early September. Although the investment in the whole project is not much, it is still shoddy, but with the addition of many handsome guys and beauties, it will be different from the original, at least more eye-catching.

"Soldier Assault" also completed filming last week and is in post-production, and the finished product is expected to be available in early September. Wang Xiaobai has already negotiated a viewing meeting with Tomato Channel and CCTV, hoping that this TV series can enter the eyes of the two bigwigs. If it really doesn't work, I can only find a way to broadcast it on a smaller local station.

After three months of brewing, "Longing for Life" exploded in word-of-mouth and stable ratings, and "Longing for Life", which was originally planned to shoot only 14 episodes, has quietly become 20 episodes, which is expected to end in mid-September.

Speaking of "Longing for Life", Wang Xiaobai was a little angry, and CCTV came to him again. Unlike the last time the deputy station was tempted on the phone, this time it was directly lit with a bayonet.

One afternoon in August, Wang Xiaobai met the deputy director of CCTV's copyright department in Jiangcheng, a woman named Yu Shengnan, dressed in black professional clothes, a black-framed glasses full of stereotypes, and a woman who looked very strong. This also indicates that this negotiation will eventually end unhappily.

"Welcome Director Yu. Wang Xiaobai met Yu Shengnan on the set of "God of Medicine".

Yu Shengnan lifted the frame of his glasses, smiled without a smile on his face, and said: "Mr. Wang, I know that Mr. Wang is very busy, so I won't say anything superfluous, let's go straight to the point." ”

The other party was very tough, and Wang Xiaobai gradually put away the smile on his face and stopped playing false.

"CCTV now has a lot of doubts about the sharing model of "Longing for Life", thinking that the previous contract signed is not very fair, and the follow-up contract of "Longing for Life" should be revised. What does Mr. Wang think?"

I think it's a fart!

Do you think I'm willing to change it?

But who made CCTV a father?

He said: "Director Yu can speak out and listen, as for the final choice, we Xingchen Dahai will give you a clear answer after the meeting and discussion." After all, you also know that although the company is my own, but now that there are more people, my thoughts are mixed, and if it is not handled fairly, I am afraid it will cause internal conflicts. ”

Yu Shengnan frowned, who doesn't know that the sea of stars is his Wang Xiaobai's words? She was already dissatisfied with Wang Xiaobai, thinking that Wang Xiaobai was too greedy, and cooperating with CCTV was something that no matter how many people asked for, you still want to take the lion's share in the cooperation? Now she is prevaricating herself with these words, she is so arrogant that she doesn't know what to say!

Yu Shengnan's attitude was even tougher: "Since Mr. Wang is willing to listen, I will talk about some immature ideas." After a pause, she said in an official tone: "After several meetings and discussions in the station, we decided to take back the advertising placement rights, commercial endorsement rights, and online screening rights, and integrate them with the existing TV station exclusive broadcast rights." The new sharing model is three seven points, and CCTV takes seven. ”

Yu Shengnan's tone made Wang Xiaobai very disgusted, this woman has a coffin board on her face, is Lao Tzu owed you? If it weren't for the fact that you were from CCTV, believe it or not, I would have driven you away now?

I want to think so, but he is also very helpless, CCTV is too awesome, although three or seven points is excessive, but if you talk about it, it will finally be set at four or six, which is not unacceptable for Wang Xiaobai.

Since it is to talk about business, it is natural to sit on the ground and pay back the money.

He said: "Three or seven points is too low, and five or five is more appropriate." ”

"No, Sanqi is the best sharing model we can give you. Yu Shengnan bit the three seven points and didn't let go, which made Wang Xiaobai want to smash her in the face.

Sighing, Wang Xiaobai said: "Let's not mention this first, can I ask, after the withdrawal of advertising placement, commercial endorsement and online screening, how should the recording funds for the follow-up "Longing for Life" be distributed? ”

"This remains the same, and the production costs are still borne by the sea of stars. Yu Shengnan said, and then said extremely dissatisfied: "After all, the first season of "Longing for Life" made a total profit of 800 million, and 600 million was taken away by the sea of stars. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the production costs should be borne by the sea of stars. ”

"Haha!"

Wang Xiaobai laughed angrily, where did CCTV find a fool?

You're ugly, but you're beautiful.

They probably forgot who planned the show and who recorded it at the beginning of "Longing for Life"!

Although he took the lion's share in the first season, it was because CCTV was timid and didn't dare to bet.

Now that I see that "Longing for Life" has made money, I want to pick fruits?

No, it's not picking the fruit, it's just carrying the tree.

So Xingchen Haihai stood under the tree like a fool, waiting for the tree to rot, and the fruit that CCTV couldn't look at fell down, and opened his mouth to catch it.

Yu Shengnan frowned, looked at Wang Xiaobai dissatisfied, and said, "What are you laughing at?

"No, I just want to ask, what will happen if we don't agree?" Wang Xiaobai asked in a calm tone.

"Then we can only regret to announce that the follow-up recording of "Longing for Life" will be suspended indefinitely. Yu Shengnan said with a threatening face, and then his face was a little sinister, saying: "And after the recording and broadcast of "Longing for Life" stops being recorded, a new "This is Life" planned by CCTV will replace "Longing for Life", and at present, we have contacted Xiang Ling and Wang Sanshi, although the other party did not give a direct answer, but they will not give CCTV's face. ”

After speaking, Yu Shengnan stopped talking, but stared at Wang Xiaobai. In her opinion, Wang Xiaobai has no reason to refuse. Although in the new contract, Xingchen Haihai's profits have been greatly reduced, it is still no problem to earn 100 million a year. Isn't 100 million still enough to satisfy his appetite?

If so, it can only be said that Wang Xiaobai is too greedy, and CCTV does not need such a greedy partner.

Wang Xiaobai laughed happily, this is to revise the contract, this is to lift the table.

His expression changed several times before he finally shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then stop." ”

"What?!" Yu Shengnan was shocked, he didn't expect Wang Xiaobai to be so decisive, he didn't want a profit of 100 million a year, and he wanted to turn his face with CCTV?

"It seems that Director Yu not only has poor eyesight, but also his ears are not very good. Then I'll say it again, Director Yu heard clearly. Wang Xiaobai sneered and said: "If CCTV decides to suspend the project of "Longing for Life", then Xingchen Dahai will also respect your decision and suspend it indefinitely!"

"You ......" Yu Shengnan was so shocked that he couldn't do it, and he wanted to say something, but Wang Xiaobai's face turned cold directly, and said: "Director Yu, I have to shoot later, so I can't accompany me more." ”

After saying that, he left directly, leaving Yu Shengnan alone there with an unpredictable face, and only after a while did he stomp his foot fiercely and turned to leave.

When Yu Shengnan left with a gloomy face, Murong Bing walked over and said, "Are you really going to turn your face with CCTV?"

Wang Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not that I want to turn my face with CCTV, but they want to play me like a fool." Oh, what age are they, and they are still playing the same old ways? Do you really think you can't live without CCTV?"

Wang Xiaobai is very indifferent, as for turning his face with CCTV, a small deputy director of the copyright department is not qualified to represent CCTV.

There are one or twenty TV stations under CCTV, and the factions are so complicated, he doesn't believe that the entire TV station has such an attitude?

Murong Bing said: "Don't be angry, CCTV has been the boss for a lifetime, and it's normal that this kind of behavior can't be changed for a while." ”

Wang Xiaobai suddenly remembered what a madman surnamed Ma had said, and suddenly became arrogant and said: "If CCTV doesn't change, we will change CCTV and see how the bank changes!"

Murong Bing smiled, although these words were arrogant, they were in line with Wang Xiaobai's inherent image in her heart.

"I believe in you, you can. Murong Bing said.

"Thank you. ”

……

It didn't take long for Wang Xiaobai to receive a phone call, which was from the deputy station.

"Hey, why did the director have time to call me today?" asked Wang Xiaobai knowingly.

"Heh, if you kid learns badly, you'll play stupid with me. The deputy scolded with a smile, and then said, "I heard that you didn't have a good time with Yu Shengnan?"

"Sue so soon? These are all in their forties, how can they still be like a child?" Wang Xiaobai said mockingly.

The deputy station heard the resentment in his words, and said comfortingly: "You, your mouth is really unforgiving. ”

"I was just unforgiving in my mouth, unlike her, and I just started doing it. Wang Xiaobai's tone was even more dissatisfied.

The deputy station was silent for a while, and then said: "I only know about their private contact with Wang Sanshi and Xiang Ling. As he spoke, he sighed helplessly and said, "As you know, CCTV is very big, and there are more than a dozen deputy directors like me, and there are some things that I can't decide on myself." Like this time, I'm going to say I don't know the whole time you believe it?"

Wang Xiaobai was silent, but he already believed it in his heart.

"In short, although this matter is troublesome, it is not so troublesome that it cannot be solved, after all, this is just a few people's thoughts, and it cannot represent the entire CCTV. As for you, give in when it's time to give in, don't be too tough, it's too rigid and easy to break. The deputy station said that it was very obvious to be able to talk about this.

Wang Xiaobai thought for a while and said, "Thank you for the director's guidance, I believe I already know what to do." ”

After answering the call from the deputy station, Wang Xiaobai sat in the director's chair and thought for a long time, before he suddenly got up and called Liu Wenya: "Wenya, you go to Beijing and draw up a new cooperation contract with CCTV." In the new contract, online screening rights, advertising placement, and commercial endorsements are all added, and the proportion is divided by 55, and the production cost is also divided by 55...... But remember, our bottom line is four or six splits, and the production budget must be five or five, otherwise...... You'll come back, no need to talk about it. ”
