Chapter 41: The Corner Digger Comes
At around ten o'clock, Zhang Yang came to the company, of course, he was called by Zuo Shanghua. But this was also expected by him.
Before he came, he also looked at the number of hits on the Internet, and it was nearly 2.3 million, which is not bad. At least so far, it's one of the best-performing shows on Marvel Video. Zuo Shanghua wouldn't be hell if he didn't talk to him. He had even roughly guessed what the conversation was about.
"Mr. Zuo?" Zhang Yang knocked on the door of Zuo Shanghua's office.
"Xiao Zhang is here, come in, come in. Zuo Shanghua put down his work and waved to him politely.
"Xiao Zhang, you are really amazing, the click-through rate of the show has broken 2.3 million. ”
Zhang Yang smiled.
Zuo Shanghua quipped: "You don't seem surprised at all." ”
"Mr. Zuo, I'm really not surprised. When I started working on this show, I already guessed that it would be this click. ”
"Or you have the confidence. Zuo Shanghua shook his head with a smile and said, "I also know that you have been very tired for the past two days, but this show caught everyone off guard, so I can only call you at this time and discuss the details of this show with you." ”
Zhang Yang nodded: "It's okay, rest for the night, and it's almost recovered." ”
"Then I'll get straight to the point. Zuo Shanghua said: "What are your plans for this show? For example, how many episodes are there in total, and how often will one episode be broadcast? ”
"I'm thinking about one issue a week, three months down, about fifteen issues. If the love is high, it is possible to add a few more issues. But one issue a week is guaranteed for sure. ”
"Well, once a week is also standard time. However, yesterday there were many viewers who reported that the time was short, do you think it is necessary to extend the time of the first issue a little?"
Zhang Yang thought for a while and said: "I deliberately set this time, and I originally planned to set it for twenty-five minutes, because it was the first issue that was only set for more than thirty minutes. However, since the audience has asked for it, I can extend it to forty minutes from the next episode, and I can't do it any more. ”
"Why? What's the mystery here?"
"Mr. Zuo, although this show is interesting, if it takes one or two hours like other online programs, first, I can't bear it, and second, if the time is too long, the audience will be boring, and the gains outweigh the losses. Control zhì is most suitable for about half an hour. Forty minutes is the limit. ”
Zuo Shanghua thought for a moment and said: "I don't have much experience in this kind of show, you can take the idea, I will try not to interfere with you." ”
"Thank you Mr. Zuo for your understanding. Regarding Zuo Shanghua's attitude, Zhang Yang was also a little surprised.
"In view of the results of this show, I plan to give you a separate recording room, and the stage will also be renovated, yesterday's stage was so shabby, and there were already a lot of audiences scolding us. ”
Zhang Yang said innocently: "Mr. Zuo, I can't blame me for the shabby stage." ”
Zuo Shanghua smiled: "I know, I know, this is the result of my lack of attention." Am I not making amend......s? The money for setting up the stage will be paid by the company first, and will be deducted from the profit of the show later. But you can rest assured, the venue is free of charge, and the company's promotion will not be charged. ”
"That's fine. Zhang Yang has no problem with this. After all, this show is a collaboration with Miracle Video. Of course, it is impossible to get Miracle Video to pay for it.
"As for how to arrange the stage, you can give me a plan, the next show must not be so simple. If you have any other ideas for human equipment, please bring them up as well. ”
"Good. ”
The two discussed the details of the show for nearly half an hour, and finally talked about advertising sponsorship.
"Since I went to work this morning, dozens of companies have called me to advertise on your show. I'll leave this to you?"
Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "This matter is still handled by the company, I don't know much about advertising prices, it's better for me to concentrate on making programs." ”
"Okay. Zuo Shanghua said with a smile: "Listening to the news from the advertising department, there are several companies that you contacted at the beginning, and they were very annoyed when they called." ”
Zhang Yang was speechless and said: "I'm still annoyed, I made dozens of phone calls, but I didn't pull a single advertisement." ”
Zuo Shanghua laughed, and the topic suddenly changed: "Xiao Zhang, are you interested in opening another show?"
"Another show?" Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, but he was not surprised at all. He has long had the idea of opening another show, but he has been waiting for Zuo Shanghua to come up with it himself.
"You also know the situation of the company, now that we finally have your show, we are ready to do a few more shows while the iron is hot, and see if we can snatch a little share from our peers, so I want to hear your thoughts. ”
Zhang Yang pretended to think about it and said, "Mr. Zuo, I have a little idea. But it's not mature yet, and if I do, I'll have to think about it again. ”
"No problem!" Zuo Shanghua's eyes lit up.
"Mr. Zuo, if you want to open a new show, I have the conditions. ”
Zuo Shanghua smiled: "If you don't have conditions, I think it's strange, tell me about your conditions." ”
The new show is hosted by Su Qingyan. ”
"Huh?" Zuo Shanghua was startled, obviously he didn't expect him to be in such a condition, "Xiao Su?"
Zhang Yang nodded: "I'm only responsible for planning, and I only provide a program outline, I don't care about the rest." ”
Anyway, it is fate that he came to this world to live under the same roof with Su Qingyan. And Su Qingyan also helped him a lot in the middle, and he didn't mind helping her. He could see that Su Qingyan had always been eager to stand on the stage.
"Xiao Zhang, you're too irresponsible, aren't you?" Zuo Shanghua said speechlessly.
Her original intention was to let Zhang Yang do the show, and now she is planning for three months later, and she didn't think about asking him to start it immediately. But who would have thought that he was so wicked, he really had an idea. Looking at his posture, it seems that he can make a plan in a few days.
Zhang Yang spread his hands: "That's no way, I still have the show in my hand, I don't dare to be distracted." ”
Zuo Shanghua thought for a while and said, "Xiao Su doesn't have any hosting experience, do you think it's feasible?"
"Mr. Zuo, this is also my first time hosting, isn't the effect very good?"
Zuo Shanghua couldn't cry or laugh: "Okay, since you have spoken, let's do as you say, and we will discuss other details after the plan is ready." ”
"Good. ”
The two chatted for a while before Zhang Yang left.
Because it was Sunday, there was no one in the company, Zhang Yang went directly out of the company and walked slowly along the street, which can be regarded as understanding this new world.
It's been more than ten days since he came to this world, and this is the first time he's gone out shopping. Looking at the strange and familiar scene in front of him, he suddenly felt homesick.
Can I go back? He didn't know, so he was in a bad mood. The feeling of homesickness has diluted the joy of the show, and he wanders the streets like a homeless man.
In fact, he was indeed homeless. Because there is no home for him here.
He looked at the world from a god's perspective, with a hint of self-deprecation on his face.
Creation makes people.
It's so lonely......
It's really lonely......
He looked at the ring on his hand. The only little girl in the world who spoke a common language with him lived here. It's a pity that she is still dormant now, and she doesn't know when she will wake up and answer his full stomach of questions.
The phone rang suddenly. It's an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Zhang Yang?"
"I am. ”
"I'm Xu Muyang, the general manager of Tomato Video, is it convenient to meet?"
Zhang Yang couldn't laugh or cry: "Huh...... Are you here for the show?"
"Forehead......" was also stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to be so direct, "Yes, I'm here for the show, I wonder if Mr. Zhang has any intention of coming to our company to develop?"
"I signed a contract with Miracle Video. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you are willing to come, the liquidated damages will be paid by our company. ”
"Uh...... I'm sorry, but I don't have any plans to change jobs at the moment. ”
"Mr. Zhang, please think about it again, no matter what kind of treatment the miracle video gives you, we will double it for you here, we can negotiate with you, and we will try our best to satisfy you. ”
"Double? I signed a contract with Miracle Video to get half of the profits, wouldn't you double it again and give me all the profits?" Zhang Yang rolled his eyes in his heart, but he still politely refused.
The other party repeatedly told him to think about it before hanging up the phone.
"Ha, I didn't think I would have this day. Zhang Yang's self-confidence swelled rapidly, "I will also be poached one day." ”
The phone rang again, still an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I am the program director of Beijing No. 3 TV Station. ”
"Three sets in Beijing? Oh, hello. ”
"That's the case, we've watched your "Zhang Yang Laughing Talk", and we think it's very interesting, I heard that you planned and produced this show by yourself?"
"Yes. ”
"Can you tell me what kind of contract you signed with Miracle Video?"
"Huh?" Zhang Yang didn't understand what he meant for a while.
It seemed that Zhang Yang's doubts were also heard over there, and he asked in a different way: "Is there any prohibition in your contract from taking on other programs during the contract period?"
"Oh, that's not true, we're on a partnership contract. ”
"That's great, I wonder if Mr. Zhang has any new programs on his hands? ”
"New show, sorry, not yet. ”
"It doesn't matter, if Mr. Zhang has a new program, he can call me, as a TV platform, we still have a lot of advantages compared to video websites. ”
"Okay. ”
The other party said a few more polite words and hung up the phone.
In the current era when satellite TV is full of sky, this kind of television station that only needs to face one region has almost no advantages, and he will not consider it. If it's Beijing TV, it's different. But he is also self-aware, it is only a show with two or three million views, and it can't get into their eyes.
So at the moment, he really hasn't thought about jumping ship, at least for the duration of his contract, he won't leave Miracle Video.
Thinking of Zuo Shanghua telling him about the show being copied by his peers, he was also a little worried.
Even if they don't have much experience with this kind of talk show, they can't compete with those giants with a lot of traffic. Even if the shows they make are a little worse than him, but they have a lot of traffic, and their results will definitely be much better than him. What's more, a good tiger can't stand up to the wolves, and people invite more people to plan together, and the quality of the show will not necessarily be much worse than him.
He is a native of this world, and he knows more about this world than he does.
It seems that you still have to work harder, and if you are surpassed, your reputation will rise even more slowly.
