Chapter 445: Okay, Let's Wait and See (First Update)
"Why not?" Qin Luo stared at Director Qi with burning eyes, "The rating of the 11th episode is 3.78, if you want to sprint to the 4.0 rating ceiling in the last episode, normal recording and broadcasting are likely to not achieve such an effect." If the recording becomes a live broadcast, there is a high chance that it will break through the 4.0 rating. ”
"It's a win-win situation for both of us. ”
It's true, and generally speaking, live broadcasts are more of a boost to viewership than recorded broadcasts.
Thinking about the original CCTV three sets of sketch competitions, the final finals night was a live broadcast method, and the ratings soared from the previous 2.1 to 2.5, an increase of 0.4.
"No, it just doesn't. Director Qi frowned and said, "The uncontrollable factors on the live broadcast are too great, and our TV station can't take that risk." ”
"And the financial and material resources to be mobilized for the live broadcast are very large, which is also a matter of labor and money for our TV station. ”
"Yes. Director Ge interjected at the right time: "Do you think that live TV is a simple one-sentence thing? If you want to broadcast live, you can broadcast live? Who do you think you are? Just to maintain the stability of the live broadcast signal is not a small number." ”
"The financial resources required for live broadcasting are fully funded by me as before, and I don't need to invest a penny from the TV station. I'm just borrowing a TV platform for live TV. Qin Luo looked at Director Qi and said in a deep voice, "According to the contract signed before, we are in a cooperative relationship. I completed the production of the program in accordance with the contract, so your TV station should also broadcast the program in accordance with the contract. ”
"Are you breaking the contract now?"
"Okay, just follow the contract you said. Director Qi's eyes narrowed, and he said slowly, "According to the contract, we are indeed cooperating, you are responsible for production, our TV station is responsible for broadcasting, and we enjoy the exclusive right to broadcast TV." ”
"So since the exclusive right to broadcast TV belongs to our TV station, then we have the right to choose whether to broadcast or not, how to broadcast, and when to broadcast, this is not a violation of the contract, right?"
Director Zhang and Director Ge listened on the sidelines, and their eyes lit up, they understood that Director Qi was going to take this opportunity to knock Qin Luo and force him to hand over the copyright of "Happy Comedian", this is the last chance, because "Happy Comedian" is about to usher in the last issue, if you don't hurry up, there will really be no hope for copyright ownership.
God-given opportunity, if Qin Luo wants to make the last episode live TV, he must rely on the TV station to do it, and it is absolutely easy to force him to get stuck in this point.
Sure enough, Qin Luo's face sank, stared at Director Qi and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Director Qi lifted his glasses and said his purpose, "The exclusive broadcast right of TV belongs to our TV station, so it is impossible to make the last episode live TV on our TV station." The ratings break through 4.0, and the benefits to you are much higher than our TV station, which is unacceptable to our TV station. Unless the contract is re-amended, the copyright of "Happy Comedian" will be attributed to our TV station. ”
In fact, the main reason for Director Qi has not been said, that is, Pearl TV does not have the copyright of "Happy Comedian", so it will not be able to produce the second and third seasons, which is the biggest loss, and it is a burden that the TV station cannot bear.
If the copyright does not belong to Pearl TV for a day, then the TV station can only be regarded as applauding or not selling on "Happy Comedian", the ratings are high, and there is a fart, and they can't make much money at all, most of the money is earned by Qin Luo, and their TV station can only drink some leftover juice, which is absolutely unacceptable for a TV station.
To sum it up in one word: uneven distribution of benefits!
Qin Luo already knew that the TV station wanted to seize the copyright, and when he heard Director Qi say this, he knew that this matter could not be discussed, so he immediately asked directly, "Then I must make a live broadcast?"
"Then I'm sorry, according to the contract, our TV station has the right not to broadcast, then your last episode can only be stillborn. Director Qi finally tore his face, "And the exclusive TV broadcast right of "Happy Comedian" belongs to our TV station, and you can't switch to other TV stations for broadcasting, otherwise it will be a breach of the contract." ”
"Good, good. Qin Luo laughed angrily, his eyes swept over the three station leaders present, "Don't let me broadcast on TV, right?
"Okay, let's see. ”
After speaking, Qin Luo turned around and walked out of the office directly.
Director Zhang has been "watching the show" throughout the whole process, frowning slightly at this time, and looking at Director Qi, "Really don't let his last episode be broadcast? Do you want to ban him? Will it be a little too ruthless?"
"What's ruthless, I don't think it's enough. Director Ge agreed very much and said indignantly: "Actually, we should have stopped it from being broadcast a long time ago." If it weren't for our TV station, would "Happy Comedian" have the ratings it has now? With such great popularity and influence? Can Qin Luo's popularity skyrocket in two months? Can the star ranking rush to the ninth place among third-tier stars? Dream about him. It was our TV station that made his program popular and made him popular. He is now fame and fortune, but he doesn't know that he is grateful to our TV station and is grateful to him, he is simply a white-eyed wolf. ”
Director Qi also nodded and said, "I just want to force him to hand over the copyright of "Happy Comedian", which is too important for our TV station." This season's "Happy Comedian" earned 400 million, but our TV station can only get 30%. Okay, even if this is the contract signed at the beginning, but what about the next season? The copyright of "Happy Comedian" is too valuable, as long as we get it, we can leave Qin Luo aside and independently produce the second season by ourselves. Then all the money earned will belong to our TV station. ”
"Yes. Director Ge's eyes lit up and said, "Once we have the copyright, we can produce the second, third and even fourth seasons by ourselves, and the money we earn doesn't need to be shared with him at all." ”
"That'...... What if he refuses to hand over the copyright? Are we really not going to let the last episode of "Happy Comedian" air?" Director Zhang hesitated.
"I believe that as long as he is not stupid, he will compromise in the end. Director Qi said in a deep voice, "Whether the last episode of "Happy Comedian" is broadcast or not is actually not so important to our TV station, although it is possible to break through the 4.0 ratings ceiling and set a new record, but the ratings of 3.78 are already proud of all variety shows in the same period, and breaking through 4.0 can only be regarded as the icing on the cake." Even if it really breaks through 4.0, our TV station will not be able to make another penny from "Happy Comedian". ”
But it's different for Qin Luo, he obviously wants to use the last issue of "Happy Comedian" to sprint to the second-tier star, if it is not broadcast at this time, his rising momentum will be interrupted, not to mention that his popularity will plummet, at least the star ranking will decline. ”
"Therefore, whether the last episode of "Happy Comedian" is broadcast or not is much more important to him than our TV station. ”
Director Ge smiled, looking very contemptuous, "Let's see, I want to see how he compromised in the end." ”
Director Zhang frowned, "Qin Luo, will he really compromise?"
