Chapter 57 Variety Copyright
During this time, China's Got Talent Show was really popular, and I knew that Zhou Shi wanted to go to see the Talent Show to relax. There were more than a dozen friends and classmates who wanted to go together. Similarly, even if it is a rebroadcast of the talent show, it also beats other programs in the same period. After the replay rights were sold by them, there was a big conflict over the quick book, so the replay date was adjusted. But it still has a bad impact on TV ratings. But the copyright has been sold, and Mango Channel can't let the other party play it all the time in garbage time.
came to the recording site of Mango Channel, Zhou Shi couldn't get in, and Long Danni called Zhou Shi out.
"It's only been a long time since I've seen you, you're working too hard to lose weight!" Long Danni
"No way, now is the era of looking at faces, you can't fight if you don't fight!" Zhou Shi
"You don't have to fight your face, just fight it. "Long Danni
"I don't have that much money, I'm afraid I'm not even the richest man in my hometown. "Zhou Shi
"I'm talking about your abilities!"
"Uh, that's it, I think it's better to fight for the appearance, I'm not a little fresh meat now"
"Little fresh meat? "Long Danni
"Or something else, what did you call me out?" Zhou Shi still accidentally said that he leaked his mouth, but fortunately it was not a big deal.
"People from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea have come to our station to inquire about the copyright of the program, do you think we should sell the copyright?"
"What is their bid? Is there a precedent in China?" Zhou Shi asked
"Hundreds of thousands to millions. I don't seem to have heard of any station selling variety show copyrights in China."
"What about the copyright of overseas variety shows?" Zhou Shi then asked
"This?" Long Danni was speechless.
"Then the copyright issue is not in a hurry, we hang them, and then negotiate with them when we have the right person, our main target is Europe and the United States. "Zhou Shi
"Europe and the United States, this goal is too far away, right?"
"Sister Shan Ni, do you know what my biggest hobby is?" Zhou Shi
"What?" said Long Danni
"I love daydreaming the most, if one day I don't dream anymore......" Zhou Shi
"Are you dreaming~~~" Long Danni
"There must always be a dream, in case it comes true!" Zhou Shi
"There must always be a dream, in case it ......" Long Danni repeated Zhou Shi's words, "Oh, by the way, what good candidate do you have?"
"Do you know Zhang Zhao of Light Media?" Zhou Shi had long thought of this powerful figure, and in 2006, Zhang Zhao founded Enlight Pictures (Enlight Pictures) and served as president. During the four years to 2010, Guangguang Pictures produced and distributed more than 20 commercial films, maintaining a 100% growth rate for four consecutive years, creating a "light speed" that has attracted attention to the Chinese film industry. In 2011, Zhang Zhao left Guangguang Pictures and founded Le Vision Pictures, serving as CEO and executive director. In 2012, LETV Pictures produced and distributed 6 films, ranking fourth among the five major private companies in terms of market share, creating a "LETV acceleration" that made the industry jaw-dropping. Among them, "Disappearing Bullet" produced by LeTV Pictures won four nominations including Best Film at the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards, and thirteen nominations including Best Film at the Hong Kong Film Awards. Zhang Zhao's role in this is unquestionable. If you really want to get involved in this industry, Zhang Zhao is obviously a very good candidate.
"Zhang Zhao, this person is good. "Long Danni
"Then let's ask him out for a meeting, and we'll talk about it. Zhou Shi remembered his foolish Dafa again, talking about money and dreams.
"Okay, I'll make an appointment with him. With that, Long Danni called Zhang Zhao
Zhou Shi could only sigh on the side, he was really sad that he had no connections.
Soon, Long Danni replied, and agreed to meet, but the other party had time tomorrow afternoon and could meet in Yanjing.
"Why don't I make another appointment?"
"Forget it, I'll go back. Saying that, Zhou Shi turned around and went to the airport, "Help me talk to those classmates and friends." ”
Before he had time to watch the opening, Zhou Shi hurried back to BJ, and the next day, he saw Zhang Zhao. After greeting him, he explained his intention. I want to know from him how film and television copyrights in Europe and the United States work, and how the copyright of a high-quality variety show is charged.
Zhang Zhao thought clearly, spoke simply and clearly, and Zhou Shi quickly figured things out.
"Mr. Zhang, can you help us preside over the copyright operation of this China's Got Talent, I think this should be the most representative copyright case in the cultural industry since the new century."
"I'm afraid it's difficult, variety shows in Europe and the United States and other places are generally independent innovation, or operate copyrights in Europe and the United States, and I am afraid it is difficult to want it in China, and they may not even know that there is a Chinese Got Talent"
"If Mr. Zhang is worried about this, can you come over and help when European and American TV stations come to China to negotiate copyrights?" Zhou Shi still wanted to make an effort.
"Is the copyright of China's Got Talent a Mango Channel or whose own?"
"The copyright is my company's" Zhou Shi
"The company is yours. Zhang Zhao, "You are ......", as soon as he spoke, Zhang Zhao picked up the business card in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Are you Zhou Shi of Time.com? Oh, I remember, you are still the COO of Baidu!"
"That's right, that's me. "Zhou Shi
"Why did you come to the entertainment industry and not let people live!" Zhang Zhao said exaggeratedly
Zhou Shi's face was sweating, "You are too awarded." ”
"How do you know how to do a variety show?" Zhang Zhao suddenly gossiped
"I originally came to publicize and promote the post bar, and in the future, you can ask Long Danni" Zhou Shi didn't come to satisfy the other party's curiosity.
"What do you think of the entertainment industry. Zhang Zhao suddenly asked Zhou Shi
"I think it has to do with human needs, and there's a lot of that in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. With the development of the domestic economy to the present, almost all people have achieved food and clothing, and those who have achieved a well-off life, that is, there are more and more middle classes, and everyone's demand for spiritual culture is also increasing. However, there is not much advanced experience in this area in China, and there is still a big gap to be filled, which is a big blue ocean market. Zhou Shi unconsciously talked to him like this, and the two sides exchanged views on film and television entertainment, Zhou Shi is good at the general trend, understands the economy, knows the market, and is modest. Not to mention Zhang Zhao, a veteran of the film and television industry, he is very familiar with all kinds of things in the entertainment film and television industry. When it comes to the current situation, it is simple, clear and logical.
Unconsciously for more than two hours, the coffee has been renewed once, and when Zhou Shi refilled the coffee again, Zhang Zhao spoke again:
"You called me here not only to negotiate the copyright of variety shows that there is no shadow yet!"
"Uh, how do you tell. Zhou Shi asked curiously
"Your business card, it's not Baidu's COO, you give me the founder of Time.com. ”
"What does this mean?" Zhou Shi pretended to be puzzled.
"This makes me see your ambition" Zhang Zhao said bluntly, "The most influential thing about Time Network is Time Film and Television and Time Reading, the selection of the Golden Bull Award after the Spring Festival is very interesting, we don't question much in the industry, it can be said that the Golden Bull Award has initially established a reputation." And you have also opened the Time Novel Network, and your ambitions are self-evident. ”
"How do you know so much?" Zhou Shi
"Because I'm going to cooperate with you in the future!" Zhang Zhao
