Chapter 182: Xihang Satellite TV's "Sincerity"
In that parallel world, after "The Masked Singer" was introduced to Huaxia, because of the cold in the first season, the program was modified to a certain extent, and even the name was changed to "The Masked Singer Guess Guess", making it a more suitable for the Chinese market, I have to say that the ratings after the modification are better than the original "The Masked Singer", and the highest ratings have reached 2% share, which is also good.
But even so, people still admit that it is the product of modifying "The Masked Singer", and in fact, it has been greatly changed both in the competition system and the program, and it is reasonable for such a program to be defined as a program with independent copyright.
Originally, Zhang Liang thought that Xihang Satellite TV's "Masked Singer Guess the King" this time would be like the world's "Masked Singer Guess Guess" has also undergone significant changes, so he is not very confident in whether he can win the lawsuit this time, the main thing is that he just wants to recover the arrears of royalties, after all, the broadcast of "The Masked Singer" is real.
However, when it was really time to sue, Zhang Liang couldn't help but scold "stupid beep" after taking a look at the program setting of "The Masked Guess the King of Singers".
Has the format of "The Masked Guess the Singer" been revised? If you really want to say it, it has indeed been done.
And it's a very failed modification, because it's just a face-lifting.
The format of "The Masked Singer" is that once it fails, it will be revealed, and it will be revealed if it is guessed, which is quite cruel and interesting. Originally, this existence was the highlight of "The Masked Singer", but the current program director considered it a poisonous point and modified it, that is, whether the contestants were unveiled or not, had the final say!
He thinks that this can attract more big-name singers to participate, but he doesn't know if the other party is unwilling to unveil his face, then what if you invite the Four Heavenly Kings?
As long as you don't reveal your face, how can you really confirm the identity of the other party?
And,I don't know if it's to save money,The original cruel competition system of at least seven to be eliminated per game has also been modified,In addition to the singer who becomes the champion in each issue,The second place in each game will get a temporary survival card,That is, you can participate in the next phase of the battle,It can also be regarded as giving this player one more chance to appear,This setting should be for the preparation of newcomers to be launched by major entertainment companies,It can also be regarded as saving a sum of money for Xihang Satellite TV to invite one less person per issue。
And because other contestants can choose not to uncover their faces even if they lose, the next show can continue to participate in the competition with a different identity, maybe the setting of not revealing their faces is just to save money.
Looking at such a modification, Zhang Liang really couldn't cry or laugh, such a show, even if it is really made, how many ratings can it have, this time in the battle of the three stations, Xihang Satellite TV can almost be said to have withdrawn from the stage.
It's just that it finally got the title, and it also attracted a lot of advertising investment, and Xihang Satellite TV, which was already doing publicity with great fanfare, was also a little caught off guard for the sudden blow of Zhang Liang's prosecution.
The construction of the stage has basically been completed, the instruments and equipment are basically in place, the judges of the guessing jury have also signed the contract, and even the advertising investment has been done a lot, just waiting for the show to start, Zhang Liang If Xihang Satellite TV loses the lawsuit, it is conceivable how big the blow to the program is!
After Zhang Liang's lawsuit was exposed, both the title sponsor and the advertising investor have conducted a series of communications to Xihang Satellite TV, which means that the money is too refunded!
Nonsense, it's a question of whether you can broadcast this show or not, why do you want to invest all this money?
On the contrary, it was Dragon TV's side, because of this sensation, whether it was the title or the advertisement, there was no need to take the initiative to attract investment, and a bunch of people took the initiative to find the door, and in the end, the title was given to Jumei products that passed the "back door". For this reason, Li Linghe also called directly and scolded Zhang Liang for having no conscience, after all, the 80 million in "The Masked Singer" didn't bother with Zhang Liang before, Zhang Liang is good, I didn't even think of her when there was a new show.
So, in the end, Jumeipin defeated many merchants whose quotations exceeded Jumeipin's desire to name with a relatively cheap naming fee of 100 million, and Liu Xinlan could only say that the remaining naming fee Zhang Liang's royalties were deducted, which was regarded as Zhang Liang's fee for picking up girls.
In this regard, Zhang Liang really wants to cry without tears!
When did he say that he was going to soak Li Yuhe?
But thinking about the fact that he cheated Li Xinghe last time, this time he was pitted by Li Xinghe and paid it off, not to mention that the naming fee of 100 million yuan is already not cheap, as for what to deduct from his royalties, it is naturally just Liu Xinlan's angry words, and Zhang Liang is still very relieved about Liu Xinlan.
Wards, restaurants, magic, fritters, children...... Various versions of the promotional videos of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" have been put out, and at the same time, the promotional film of the second season of "Star Challenge" is also in full swing.
As for Xihang Satellite TV, which originally placed advertisements at any cost, it was quiet all of a sudden, and a bunch of propaganda about "The Masked Guess the King of Singers" suddenly converged, Zhang Liang's prosecution this time really gave them a headache!
And the relevant personnel also hurriedly found Zhang Liang's studio, if it was changed to weekdays, it would naturally be all kinds of strong, and even threatened to block it, but this time they couldn't do that.
With the support of Dragon TV, it is naturally impossible to block anything, at most, Xihang Satellite TV and several relatively well-related TV stations will no longer cooperate with Zhang Liang in the future, but how much impact will that have on Zhang Liang? And if the ratings of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" are popular this time, even those TV stations with good relationships are estimated to be ready to move for Zhang Liang, and the ban or something is simply a joke.
Since there is no deterrence, they naturally have to consider reconciliation.
Therefore, Xihang Satellite TV directly brought "sincerity", a contract to pay royalties in installments, and a licensing contract for "The Masked Singer".
After all, without Zhang Liang's authorization, even if the name is changed, this naked plagiarism, this show will not be possible, so the importance of this authorization can be imagined.
And the meaning of this sincerity is: Zhang Liang, do you want money, authorize it, and we will pay you in installments.
As for the series of injuries and adverse consequences caused to Zhang Liang by the shady scenes of "The Masked Singer" before, Xihang Satellite TV didn't say a word here, and wanted a satellite TV to apologize to you as a star, do you really think you have a few pounds and a few pounds?
Aren't you suing for money?
Therefore, the people who came from Xihang Satellite TV with "sincerity" came to Zhang Liang's studio with their heads held high with such thoughts.
And then...... It was blasted out directly.
