Chapter 82: A New Idea
"I've heard of the name for a long time, Mr. Zhang, I finally saw you today. When Zhang Fan walked into the box of Linjiang Building, a middle-aged man with a red face who was in good spirits laughed and stretched out his hand to Zhang Fan.
"Prizes have been awarded. Zhang Fan smiled modestly, "I don't deserve the title of teacher, just call me Xiao Zhang." ”
After some pleasantries, several people sat down separately. Chen Guozhong began to introduce the two guests who came today to Zhang Fan. One is Director Cheng Qucheng, the deputy director of the National Television Variety Channel, and the young man next to him is his assistant.
The national television station is the largest in the country, with more than a dozen different channels inside. It covers comprehensive, news, sports, literature and art, variety shows, TV dramas and many other contents. Even if it is only the deputy director, the resources in his hands are far greater than the directors of other TV stations.
Everyone is busy, and after a few simple greetings, Cheng Qu began to get straight to the topic, "Brother, I'll call you Xiao Zhang if I make a loud noise." I didn't mean anything else when I came to you this time, I just wanted to invite people like you to shine with us, I wonder if you have this interest?"
They are all TV stations, and there are no secrets in front of their peers about the various news inside each TV station.
Although Zhang Fan is not from a junior college, he was able to bring two programs that were on the verge of completion to the first place in the ratings of the same period. Especially last year's cross talk contest was about to end, and it was all up to Zhang Fan to pull it back from the abyss. Such an excellent host has now left Imperial Capital TV, and Cheng Qu, who is very ambitious in his career, naturally has no reason to let go.
"There must be an idea. Zhang Fan smiled and nodded, "Although I haven't been a host for a long time, I also feel that this line of work is very interesting." It's just that I still have concerns in my heart. ”
"I also know about Imperial Capital TV. Cheng Qu smiled happily, although the national TV station is the boss in China, but all other TV stations are his competitors. In particular, the Imperial Capital TV station, which is in the same city, is a direct opponent. Now seeing that Imperial Capital TV actually pushes outstanding talents outward, it is impossible for him to be unhappy, "We will not do such shameless things." The national television brand is much more important than that money. ”
If he had said this a year ago, maybe Zhang Fan would have really been moved. It's a pity that Zhang Fan, who has gone through a lot of periods, is now much more mature. How can you agree to something because of a few words, a few unfounded guarantees?
Seeing Zhang Fan's thoughts, Cheng Qu smiled and said, "I came today to invite the two of you, and if you have any ideas and requirements, you can put them forward directly, and you can discuss anything." ”
Cheng Qu is only in his early forties this year, and it is the time when he is in the prime of life and ready to show his ambitions. The national television station has a great business, and the direct competition between the various channels is fierce, not to mention the fierce competition within the channels.
Now that the director of the variety channel is about to retire, several young deputy directors are vigorously working to get on the throne. There are people on Cheng Qu to take care of them, but there are also people above other deputy directors. If you want to get ahead, you also need to have good results.
The pattern within the channel has long been divided, and if you want to have unexpected performance, you can only pull in a strong force from the outside. And the person Cheng Qu fell in love with was Zhang Fan.
As long as Zhang Fan's request is not too excessive, there is nothing that cannot be discussed. As long as Zhang Fan can come up with an excellent program to help him ascend to the position of director and lay the foundation for stepping towards a higher level in the future, then he is very good at talking.
"I prefer to be more comfortable than being an employee at a TV station. Zhang Fan was playing with chopsticks in his hand, "If it's a show, it's even better." ”
"The director of our variety channel is retiring recently, and now the competition between several deputy directors is very fierce. Cheng Qu didn't hide it in the slightest, "Everyone has similar qualifications, and there are people behind them to support them." When you can't hold each other, you can only talk with results. Several deputy directors were preparing the show to prepare for the competition, and I was the same. I came to you this time because I took a fancy to your strength and wanted to ask you for help. ”
"I have a few requirements for the show. Zhang Fan began to put forward his own ideas.
"Speak. Cheng Qu made a gesture of respect.
"If you ask me to do the show, the show will have the final say, and no one can dictate. Zhang Fan shook his fingers, "Besides, the copyright and creativity of the show all belong to me, and it can only be regarded as authorized for you to use." In the end, in terms of treatment, I don't need a salary or a bonus, I want to share it. Of course, all of the above requirements must be written into the formal contract, and if there is a violation, you will have to pay liquidated damages. ”
The young assistant beside Cheng Qu widened his eyes angrily after listening to Zhang Fan's unreasonable request, and was stopped by Cheng Qu when he opened his mouth and was about to say something.
"Mr. Zhang. Cheng Qu looked serious and asked in a very formal voice, "You have made so many requests, what guarantee can you give me?"
For Cheng Qu, these conditions that Zhang Fan said are nothing more than a matter of money. He doesn't care about money now, what he cares about is whether the show he makes can produce results and whether he can send himself to the position of director. As long as this goal can be achieved, let alone these conditions, there is no problem with more.
"Since Director Cheng came to me, he believes me, and I can't just talk nonsense. Zhang Fan looked confident, "The only guarantee I can give you is that this show will definitely become the ratings champion in the same period!"
'Hiss~~~' After listening to Zhang Fan's words, several people in the box involuntarily took a breath. And Chen Guozhong has already spoken out to dissuade "Xiao Zhang, you can't talk too much!"
Zhang Fan didn't speak, just smiled and picked up the water cup to drink. He hadn't been busy in vain during this time, and he had already made plans when he searched for information on the Internet. Now I just take it out and use it.
Compared with Chen Guozhong's nervousness and his assistant's dissatisfaction, Cheng Qu's eyes burst into light.
Although Zhang Fan is only from a wild background in the eyes of some professionals, many people who do TV can't look down on it. But Cheng Qu didn't see it that way. Compared with academic qualifications, he attaches more importance to ability. Zhang Fan was able to turn several programs into ratings champions in the same period on Imperial Capital TV one after another, this is his strength! And what Cheng Qu needs now is this.
"What if you can't do it?" Cheng Qu's assistant couldn't help but ask. I want to take all the benefits, but I can't just say a lofty goal, right?
"If I can't, then I don't want a dime. Zhang Fan's confidence is very high.
"It seems that Xiao Zhang is already confident. Cheng Qu smiled and nodded, "I appreciate confident young people." I can agree to your request now, and I can do that, Lord. After all, I'm in charge of this show. Can you tell me what your plans are?"
"Hehe~~~" Zhang Fan picked up the chopsticks with a smile, and he looked at the plate of chopped pepper fish head in front of him for a long time, "You will know after the contract is signed." ”
Chen Guozhong smiled, this kid is getting more and more mature now. If you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle.
Cheng Qu also smiled, since he chose Zhang Fan, he must believe in others. A person who can come up with a diamond that is eternal, and who will always have such an advertising slogan, must have real skills.
You must know that it is because of this advertising slogan that Chow Tai Fook's recently launched diamond ring series has been selling like crazy. Even the entire jewelry industry has seen a significant increase in business. He knew that many advertisers were trying to find a way to invite Zhang Fan to dinner. As long as you really have the ability, there will be a day when you will appear!
"Come on, come on, in order to celebrate our cooperation, a toast!" Cheng Qu laughed and picked up his glass, in order to be able to take his career to the next level, other things are just trivial things that are not worth mentioning.
------
Just like Cheng Qu said, his strength in national TV is still good. The contract was signed quickly, and Zhang Fan spent money to hire a professional lawyer to help check it, and after considering it one by one or even word by word, it was determined that there were no traps and problems. After that, both parties signed their names on the contract, and the contract officially came into effect. From this moment on, Zhang Fan can be regarded as a person from national TV for the time being.
"Okay, the contract is now signed. Xiao Zhang, can you tell me what you think? In Cheng Qu's spacious office, Cheng Qu, who was in a good mood, asked what he had been concerned about for a long time.
The assistant left the office after bringing the tea, and now there are only three people here: Zhang Fan, Chen Guozhong and Cheng Qu, and the plan he has brewed can now be said.
"Did Director Cheng pay attention to the recent cross talk contest held by Imperial Capital TV?" Zhang Fan asked with tea in his hand.
"The second cross talk competition?" Cheng Qu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "I know that you were originally the host." Because your withdrawal has cost them a lot, now it's time for the second round of rematch, right? I heard that the ratings are generally not too much attention. ”
Cheng Qu was a little curious about Zhang Fan's thoughts, he didn't believe that Zhang Fan would bring up the matter of holding a cross talk contest on his side. Because compared with the huge audience, the audience of cross talk is indeed small, and it is very difficult to really compete for the ratings championship.
The reason why it was successful last year was because Zhang Fan's outstanding performance attracted the attention of many people, and other TV stations did not have any outstanding programs during that time period. It's not the same now.
Chen Guozhong is also very curious, does Zhang Fan really want to talk about cross talk on national TV?
"The audience of cross talk is relatively small, and there are not many audiences that can be attracted. Zhang Fan explained with a smile: "However, their methods are very novel and effective. Even if I'm gone now, I still have not too low ratings. ”
"How, what way?" Cheng Qu and Chen Guozhong were confused, not knowing what Zhang Fan meant.
"I looked up the programs of various TV stations, and basically invited those stars to star. After so many years of this way, the audience is tired of watching it. Zhang Fan turned the teacup in his hand, "So I think we can borrow the method of the cross talk contest and also conduct auditions among the audience." Of course, it's not cross talk. That audience is small. We auditioned the audience to sing. ”
"Slap !!" Cheng Qu suddenly raised his hand and slapped it heavily on the table in front of him!
