Chapter 1127 - Accompanying Reporter
Don, of course, was helping.
However, this does not mean that he is willing to pay backwards to the loss of New Universal's interests.
China's intellectual property protection is not done well, and once the pirated mainland version of "One Bamboo Deposit Mountain" is spread overseas, it will inevitably affect the income of the American version of "One Bamboo Deposit Mountain".
There are two solutions.
First, CCTV added money.
Second, copyright should be reasonably distributed. After the successful cooperation of the project, the mainland copyright of the mainland version and the American version of "A Bamboo Dingjinshan" are owned by CCTV, and the overseas copyright belongs to New Global.
Even if there are really institutions that prefer the mainland version of the plot of "A Bamboo Deposit" in the future, they can only negotiate with New Universal.
As for the DVD version...... You can only use a larger scale to attract users. After all, although the mainland version of "A Bamboo Dingjin Mountain" has a richer plot, the content is very healthy, and there are fewer yellow and violent parts.
On top of that, there's the trouble with the contract.
Most of the contracts for TV actors in the United States are paid per episode.
For example, Jett Lee, if he takes over the filming of "A Bamboo Deposit Mountain", the salary per episode will be between 1.5 million and 2 million US dollars.
This raises new questions.
This is the price of an episode of the American version!
How is the mainland version calculated?
CCTV has not yet decided whether it will edit 20 episodes or 30 episodes of TV series.
They have to get the footage and then make a decision.
But no matter what, the mainland version of "A Bamboo Dingjin Mountain" will have contract disputes. If you want to resolve the dispute, you must separately mark "except for the mainland version" in the actor's contract.
An additional condition attached by the producer gives the actor's agent a chance to renegotiate.
Non-U.S. unionized Chinese actors may not be much of a problem.
However, American actors will definitely ask for more remuneration to make up for the loss of profits in more episodes of the mainland version.
This, in turn, further increases budget planning.
In short, Director Zhao put forward the idea of "unified shooting and separate editing", CCTV must increase investment and get more money!
Otherwise, the troubles will not be solved at all.
Mr. Han believes that it is very important to make a separate mainland version of "A Bamboo Dingjin Mountain". The concept of "unified shooting and separate editing" will also open a new chapter for the film and television cooperation between China and the United States in the future, which is of epoch-making historical significance.
"Hero" can be loved by European and American fans because Harvey Weinstein re-edited the American version.
If "A Bamboo Dingjinshan" wants to succeed in China, it is also necessary to carry out a formal transformation with Chinese characteristics and launch a mainland version!
Director Zhao said that large investments need to be approved by CCTV's committee, especially the implementation of the strategy of "unified shooting and separate editing", which needs to be approved by the party committee.
However, he also said that "A Bamboo Dingjin Mountain" is of great significance to CCTV, and he is confident that he will promote this cooperation. And the amount of investment will not be too low!
"A Bamboo Deposit" is not just a TV series production.
If it was just a co-production of a TV series, he wouldn't have been able to apply for so much funding.
However, "A Bamboo Determination Mountain" has three other layers of meaning.
First, it can enhance China's international influence, which can be applied to the Propaganda Department for international propaganda funding.
Second, CCTV talents can be cultivated, and talent training funds can be applied for at CCTV.
Third, you can go to Hollywood to study, and you can apply for more advanced overseas study funds from radio and television.
Add it all up, and that's a lot.
Director Zhao swore solemnly: "Boss Tang, I can tell you the truth, this drama ...... CCTV's investment will definitely not be less than $10 million!"
Tang En shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "Director Zhao, you have just put forward so many conditions, if the investment amount is less than 15 million US dollars, it really does not reflect the sincerity of CCTV's cooperation." ”
Director Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, "The Standing Committee will be held in the afternoon." Wait for the evening...... Set up a banquet at the palace hotel in the evening, and we'll discuss it later!"
Tang En didn't want to drink a lot of wine, so he hurriedly postponed: "No, I really don't have time." In the afternoon, I will go to the magic capital, visit the Jiucheng company, and tomorrow I will talk with the city leaders of the magic capital. ”
"World of Warcraft" was won the operation right in the mainland by Nine Cities Games Company last year with a four-year agency fee of 13 million US dollars, 73 shares.
After a limited test and public beta, the official commercial operation was launched last week.
The results are very gratifying!
In just one week, the continent became the second largest market for World of Warcraft in the world after North America.
Because there are too many players, there are a series of problems in the operation of Nine Cities. Blizzard sent a team from the United States to help, and Don will take advantage of the situation.
It's mostly an attitude.
Let the city government of the magic city see that New Universal's investment in the magic city is not only the super project Universal Studios, but also the world's first online game "World of Warcraft".
Director Zhao persuaded for a while, but failed, so he said that he would leave Tang En for lunch.
Don naturally agreed.
There was still some time before noon, and the office began to talk all over the place.
The two beautiful hostesses played their role again, smiling and enthusiastic in an active atmosphere.
chatting and chatting, the topic turned a little off, and he talked about yellow jokes.
Zhao Taichang is easy to come by, and his skills are profound.
Mr. Han blurted out and exported the chapter.
What Huang Duanzi said is called a walk.
Not to mention the two leaders, the two beautiful hosts are not bad at all.
The hostess named Meng Shengnan cleared her throat, her face was red and bright, she seemed to enjoy the feeling of being focused by the three powerful men in the office, and said with a smile: "Then I'll just say one, don't laugh at me if you don't say it well." Ahem, there was a rich woman who went to look for a duck, and in order to achieve the desired effect, she applied cool oil to the sleeve. A...... After the cloud and rain, the duck sighed,, rich people are different, there is also an air conditioner installed in it, almost didn't freeze me to death, fortunately the room is big,!"
Immediately, everyone laughed.
Don was a little surprised.
Damn, this sub-scale is not small!
Just now, Director Zhao was at most talking about some innocuous jokes like "five women and ten men taking a bath together, full of color".
This Meng beauty is directly the next three roads.
Fierce enough!
Qing Tianqiao's face was also a little crimson, and she couldn't help asking, "What is a duck?"
He burst out laughing again.
Tang En smiled: "Quanju Debei." ”
Qingtian pursed her lips, glanced at him, a little shy, nodded lightly, and said "oh".
Everyone was amused by her "innocent" appearance again.
At this time, another beautiful host, Li Hong, was not to be outdone, and took the initiative to speak: "A driver solicited customers and asked where the passengers were going, and the guests replied: The end of life." The driver asked puzzled. The guest said:, the crematorium doesn't even know. The driver scolded unhappily: Thanks to going to the end of life, if you go to the source of life, where do you have to go?"
It's the next three roads again, and it's still very violent!
Compared with the restraint of Mr. Han and Director Zhao's meat jokes, these two beautiful hosts are really open and close.
Tang En mended the knife again and asked in surprise: "Beauty Li, where is the source of this life?"
Unexpectedly, Host Li was also spicy enough, and immediately put his legs together, covered his hands down, and hurriedly said in a panic: "Mr. Walker, I didn't install an air conditioner!"
The office erupted in the most hilarious laughter.
Even Qingtian, who has been forbearing, can't pretend anymore, and "poof" smiled, which was both ashamed and embarrassing, and felt that their joke was really a bit out of line.
I felt a little sad for them, and the upright and sunny female host on TV didn't seem to be glamorous at all.
Then it was Donn's turn, and he smiled and said, "I really don't know how to tell jokes, once I went to the White House, Bush Jr. told me a joke, I think it's very interesting, you can listen to it too." ”
And all the people began to be upright.
President George W. Bush tells you jokes?
That's a cow!
I listened to Donne's words: "It is said that back then, when the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Leonid Brezhnev went to Poland for a friendly visit, and the secretary arranged for a painter to paint the visit, which was called "Brezhnev in Poland". But the subject of the painting is too big, how can you paint it? The painter was very embarrassed, and sure enough, when he was finished, the secretary was furious and wanted to arrest him. Because there is only one bed in the painting, there is a couple of undressed men and women rolling the sheets on the bed. The secretary asked: What are you painting? The painter replied: Brezhnev is in Poland. The secretary angrily pointed to the painting: Who is that woman? The painter said: The woman is Brezhnev's wife. The painter said, "It's you." The secretary was furious: what about Comrade Brezhnev? The painter replied: "You told me, Brezhnev is in Poland!"
The joke is much higher.
After laughing, there is also a reflection on the history of the Soviet Union and the irony of absurd high-level politics. The content of it made Director Zhao and Mr. Han a little bit like a man.
Director Zhao coughed lightly, stopped telling jokes, and said seriously: "Boss Tang, it's not easy for you to come to China once, can CCTV conduct an exclusive interview with you, so that we can better understand your business ideas and cooperation with China." ”
Don frowned slightly.
It's inconvenient.
Director Zhao smiled: "Actually, it's not troublesome, you can record it with you." We will arrange someone to follow your itinerary in China throughout the whole process, without video or audio recording, and just organize it with text in the future. ”
That's fine.
Director Zhao said: "Xiao Li and Xiaomeng are all our excellent young hosts, with strong ability, understanding of international relations, and English. In my opinion, it would be better to let them take care of the work. You're all right, right?"
Meng Shengnan immediately said, "I can." ”
Li Hong also smiled: "I can do it too, I'm looking forward to seeing more of the world's richest man." ”
Don blinked, how could he not understand?
The so-called interview is just in name, and the accompanying is the point.
Sure enough, Director Zhao said next: "Boss Tang is not familiar with life here, especially in the afternoon, he has to go to the magic capital to conduct research. Xiao Li, Xiao Meng, your task is very arduous, not only to do a good job of accompanying reporters, but also to take care of Boss Tang's dining and accommodation. Boss Tang is our CCTV partner, don't be sloppy!"
