The negotiations with CCTV were very smooth, because there were not many overlapping interests between the two sides. So I signed a contract a week later. The central TV station invested 100 million, and Tianliao invested 300 million, and the production staff was from the central TV station, and the personnel from Tianliao Film and Television Company also provided assistance. When filming this TV series in his previous life, Central TV used a lot of resources from local TV stations, so not only did he not oppose Chen Tianliao's practice of inserting his team into the leveling, but also supported it very much. Having said that, Chen Tianliao's team does not have the backbone of a director, they are all technicians, or a very experienced Xiangjiang film production team, and CCTV is actually very greedy.

After the contract was signed, Chen Tianliao's first investment of $8 million was in place. At this exchange rate, this is equivalent to 68 million yuan. This investment comes from some of the proceeds from the American game company. The rest of the funds, Chen Tianliao is ready to withdraw from the Wa State. The United States uses a lot of money, and Chen Tianliao does not plan to continue to draw it.

As soon as the central television station received funding, preparations began. In the previous life, the 1990 version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" used 170 million yuan, and this time, the economic level is about the same as the level of 1992 and 1993 in the previous life, and the investment has reached a total of 400 million yuan. The production cycle was set at 3 years, and the real shooting time, which took a year in the previous life, is expected to take a little longer this time.

After completing the first task of the film and television company, Chen Tianliao brought Song Shiqing and Rabbit Tooth to the record company. Rabbit Tooth isn't the first time I've been here, but I feel different every time. When she arrived at Chen Tianliao's office, she said, "Xiao Liao, you are getting better and better here, and you are more comfortable than my company in the Japanese country." ”

Chen Tianliao smiled: "Then you will sign a contract with me here, right? I will give you Xiaoqing's previous treatment." ”

Rabbit Tooth turned his head to look at Song Shiqing: "Xiaoqing, what treatment did you have before?"

Song Shiqing said: "Except for the album, I don't have to worry about anything, I can take the album according to the highest standard." All kinds of performance activities love to go or not, and advertising endorsements are prioritized. ”

Rabbit Fang opened his mouth wide and said after a while, "This is the legendary boss lady treatment?"

Chen Tianliao nodded and said, "Yes, the boss lady treatment." Because you are not the boss lady, the clause of the advertising endorsement priority arrangement can be removed, and there is an advertising endorsement that you get paid according to the minimum share. ”

Rabbit Tooth smiled: "That's done." I'll sign your company. But you'll have to make sure that you write me at least half of the new songs on every album. ”

Chen Tianliao said happily: "Deal." That's it!"

Song Shiqing said: "Kaomi, he's cheating on you." Now that there are so many pirated copies, the album not only does not make money, but also loses money, and our company's singers basically make money by performing outside and receiving advertising endorsements. ”

Rabbit Tooth glared at Chen Tianliao, and then said indifferently: "It's okay, if he wants to pit it, I don't care about this money." It's also good to work for Xiaoliao. ”

Song Shiqing looked at Rabbit Tooth, didn't speak, stood up, walked to Chen Tianliao's seat, sat on the arm of the chair, put his arm around Chen Tianliao's shoulder, and then turned to Rabbit Tooth and smiled: "That's okay." It's a pity not to eat such a fat sheep that is easy to slaughter. ”

Rabbit Tooth watched Song Shiqing's action of swearing sovereignty, snorted from his tall nose, and then looked at Chen Tianliao with watery eyes: "Xiao Liao, you won't be so ruthless, right?"

Chen Tianliao snorted and said, "What, the weather is so good today!"

Both girls laughed at the same time. Song Shiqing naughtily grabbed his ear, twisted it slightly, and said, "You guy will perfunctory us!"

After laughing for a while, Tuya suddenly asked: "Xiao Liao, since there are so many pirated albums, and your record company doesn't make money by publishing albums, why don't you call on the state to crack down on piracy? ”

Chen Tianliao said: "We don't have a set of congressional lobbying here. As for cracking down on piracy, because this is the early stage of reform and opening up, there are too many entanglements of various interests, and there is also a problem of the concept of the Chinese people, so it is not possible for the time being. ”

Song Shiqing said: "There is another one he didn't say. He's actually making money from piracy as well. ”

Rabbit Tooth Qi said: "You still need to pirate other people's songs?"

Chen Tianliao said: "No, I don't do such a tasteless thing, my company must be operated legally." I just provided VCD as a product, and then because there were too many pirated discs, the machine turned out to be very popular. Now there are 10 manufacturers in the country, and a total of three to four million units have been sold. At present, the sales volume is still growing. I have been charged a lot of patent fees. ”

"VCD? what's that?" Rabbit Fang was a little surprised.

"It's like a VCR, just on disc. Chen Tianliao said, "The resolution is similar to that of low-end video recorders." Therefore, it is basically not seen in the Wa country. Because the genuine protection in your country is so good, most of the people in the house only have a few videotapes, and the rest have to rely on a lot of money to rent the tape shop. And here, a family can have dozens of movie discs at every turn, so VCD has a great advantage over video tape, and the video recorder is eliminated. I made a lot of money. ”

Rabbit Fang opened his mouth and said, "But research and development costs a lot of money, right?"

Chen Tianliao smiled and said: "There is a genius here, our research and development does not need to take too many detours, and the real cost is not high." And there is another invention, although we don't receive money at home, but overseas, I start to receive a lot of money. ”

Song Shiqing and Rabbit Tooth said strangely at the same time: "What invention is so magical?"

Chen Tianliao said: "Karaoke. For the time being, our country has not listed this kind of creativity as the object of patent application, so I can't charge a penny of patent licensing fees for many karaoke halls that pop up on the street now. However, in Japan, Europe and the United States, some patent fees began to be received. ”

Rabbit Fang exclaimed, "Ah, karaoke, I know! Before I came, many izakaya in Edo were engaged in this thing, and I was pulled over by my friend to sing it, it feels good!

"Hmm. Recently, our country is considering adding creativity to the ranks of patents, but it is estimated that it will not receive much money in the short term. Local protectionism is everywhere. Chen Tianliao shrugged his shoulders and said.

"How's your DVD developing?" Song Shiqing suddenly asked. She was well aware that DVDs were a replacement for VCDs a few years later.

"It's not good, the core technology is in the hands of the Japanese and Europe and the United States. Although we have united with the major manufacturers of China to negotiate with the Japanese companies, those Japanese conglomerates that eat people and do not spit out bones still only let us beat the side drums. We are considering getting closer to Europe. ”

"Those consortia are really black-hearted!" Rabbit Tooth nodded in agreement.

was chatting, suddenly Song Shiqing pointed out the window and said, "Look, what are you doing downstairs?"

Chen Tianliao and Tuya both stood up, came to the window, and looked in the direction pointed by Song Shiqing, but saw a group of people pushing and shoving downstairs, one of them was the security guard of the record company, and the other was the old and young men and women, holding signs in their hands.

Chen Tianliao frowned and said, "Let's go down and have a look!"

When I went downstairs, I heard a bunch of people shouting and shouting, and I couldn't understand what was being said. But it seems that there are words like "my daughter has a big belly" and "I am responsible". Chen Tianliao sighed in his heart, good guy, this is the rhythm of messing around with the relationship between men and women to make people die! Chen Tianliao's shadow unconsciously appeared in front of his eyes.

Chen Tianliao walked forward quickly and shouted: "Don't make trouble, tell me something, I'll deal with it!"

When the security guards and staff heard Chen Tianliao's words, they all stopped moving, and they all turned around and shouted, "Mr. Chen!"

When they heard the word "total", they all turned their heads here. Chen Tianliao strode up, and Song Shiqing and Rabbit Tooth followed closely behind him.

"Are you the CEO of this company?" asked a woman about 50 years old.

"Yes, my name is Chen Tianliao, and I am the chairman of this company. What can you say to me. Chen Tianliao said.

"Ah, this boss, the people in your company made my daughter's belly bigger, and then the person disappeared again, you have to make the decision for me!" the woman said loudly. Such a disgraceful thing she said that she didn't even blush.

"Yes, it's too irresponsible to run away if you harm other people's daughters!" "No, I have to let him come out and kowtow to his mother, and then marry his daughter back......!" The men and women behind the woman were furious.

Chen Tianliao said with a headache: "Be quiet, be quiet, be quiet! You are so noisy, how can I hear clearly what is going on? Why don't you go in and talk to me about it." As for you, since you're all here, why don't you go to the foreign fast food restaurant across the road and sit down first. Zhu Wen, you go to the finance department to spend 2,000 yuan to entertain these distinguished guests. ”

In recent years, foreign fast food has not been in China for too long, and the price is relatively expensive compared to the income of Chinese people, and it is an out-and-out high-end consumption place in the eyes of Chinese people. As soon as they heard that they went to rest in a foreign fast food restaurant, and then heard the number of Chen Tianliao say, many of those people were moved.

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman at the head said, "No, we can't go to your nest, we have to make it clear here first!"

Chen Tianliao said with a smile: "Where is there any old nest that is not old, this is a company, a legal place to operate." Do you know what our company's annual income is? The total annual income is more than one billion, and the average daily income is more than three million yuan. If you block the road here, it will affect the normal business of our company. If you want to block it, I won't charge more, based on 3 million yuan a day. You block it. Lawyer Wang, seeing that they have blocked the door for a few days, and they have time to send them a lawyer's letter, even if they don't pay the money, and they fight a lawsuit for a few years, it is estimated that their family property will not be enough to compensate, right? Besides, our company has an annual tax revenue of two or three hundred million yuan, and if we are forced to move out by you, the government will ask you to fill in the deficit of two or three hundred million yuan, and you will be able to fill it?"

When the middle-aged woman heard this, her heart became uneasy, and she looked at a tall young man next to her. And the man was obviously frightened by Chen Tianliao's tone, and said with a face like earth: "You...... Who are you scaring about? Why don't you just go inside and talk? But you call the guy surnamed Su first!"

Chen Tianliao was stunned: "The surname is Su?"

At this time, Song Shiqing pulled Chen Tianliao's shirt and pointed to a card held by those people, which read: "Su Wenhai is morally corrupt and rapes a woman from a good family!"

Chen Tianliao's face turned dark: What is going on!
