Chapter 160: Negotiating a New Variety Show
A good director always has no shortage of investors. A good screenwriter always has no shortage of actors who ask for roles. A good variety show planner also has no shortage of sought after TV stations. And now Lu Wenbin is undoubtedly famous in variety show planning.
Even the new variety show planned by Lu Wenbin is still in the discussion and negotiation stage. But privately, many well-intentioned people on the TV station are inquiring about the news of this variety show. And the most popular person among them seems to be Liu Wenxin, who submitted this variety show.
Liu Wenxin, who was in the Literature and Art Center Department earlier, was just a little-known small role in the department, and he relied on a little relationship with his relatives to enter the Imperial Capital TV Station. But because of his good relationship with Lu Wenbin, his status in the ministry has skyrocketed.
Some staff members who couldn't talk to the leaders of the ministry thought about making friends with Liu Wenxin, hoping to help recommend it to Lu Wenbin at that time. But for Liu Wenxin, how dare he promise others easily?
has been working in Taili for almost a year, and Liu Wenxin is no longer the rookie employee who just entered the workplace. And he also knows that now he is valued in Taiwan, more because of his relationship with Lu Wenbin.
In fact, for a while, Liu Wenxin also considered whether to resign from his current job and join Lu Wenbin's studio. But in the end, Hu Feipeng still persuaded him and continued to stay in the stage and wait for an opportunity.
As long as Lu Wenbin's studio can develop, with Hu Feipeng's understanding of Lu Wenbin, he will definitely not forget to promote Liu Wenxin. And now it turns out that Hu Feipeng is indeed very accurate.
Chu Xuan, who is now far away in Pearl Channel, has become the leader of the writer team of two ace variety shows by virtue of his relationship with Lu Wenbin, and even concurrently serves as a trainee PD. Over time, I believe that Chu Xuan's status in Mingzhutai will also be greatly improved.
And now Lu Wenbin has begun to cooperate with the imperial capital, and the link of cooperation between the two sides is Liu Wenxin. Compared with other staff, who has the opportunity to deal with department directors and ministers like Liu Wenxin?
With the opportunity to be close to the leader, isn't it very simple to be promoted and reused?
When eating in the cafeteria at noon, looking at the staff who were not too familiar with each other, and also came over with a plate to say hello, Liu Wenxin also really felt the speed of news spread. I also realized how lucky I was to have Lu Wenbin, a classmate.
It's just that when he greeted these people, or wanted to help introduce him to Lu Wenbin's request, Liu Wenxin just smiled and said: "If you have the opportunity, you must introduce, and if you have the opportunity, you must introduce!"
The so-called opportunity, when is the opportunity, naturally Liu Wenxin has the final say. He understands the feelings of these ordinary employees who want to be promoted and reused, but in this kind of matter, he also has little decision-making power.
Although Liu Wenxin believes that as long as he opens his mouth to ask Lu Wenbin to help, he believes that Lu Wenbin will also sell him some face. But such a request, for Lu Wenbin and the Taiwan leaders, will undoubtedly lower the impression of him.
When it comes to the personnel arrangements of a new variety show, even if Liu Wenxin wants to join it, he needs Lu Wenbin's recommendation. So how could Liu Wenxin dare to promise so easily?
In the workplace, sometimes it's important to get the right position!
Shortly after lunch, Lu Wenbin and Hu Feipeng appeared again on Imperial Capital TV. Lu Wenbin, who had called Liu Wenxin in advance, just walked into the Imperial Capital TV station and saw Liu Wenxin waiting in the TV station hall.
"Old Five, it's quite early!"
"It's about the same time, right?
"Look! After the minister read it, he specially convened a meeting of the management of the variety show department to discuss it! It's just a discussion meeting in the morning, and there is still no agreement. Some management felt that the risk was quite high and wanted to know more about the show.
Therefore, the afternoon meeting is estimated to be another round of rhetoric. However, Minister Xu and Director Lin of the variety show department are more optimistic about this new variety show. Therefore, the possibility of this variety show being approved is still relatively large. ”
"It doesn't matter! If I can't cooperate, I won't suffer! At least I believe that there are still many domestic TV stations that want to cooperate with me. This new variety show, I believe there will be what the TV station wants. It's really missed, it's you guys who have lost the most!"
"You guy, when did you become so confident!"
"I've always been very confident, haven't I? Don't worry, I'm here with sincerity today, and I also hope to deepen cooperation with you. Of course, if you Taiwan leaders still feel risky, then there is no way, it is not easy to do the business of catching up!"
In terms of variety show cooperation, Lu Wenbin will no longer be more accommodating to partners like he did with Pearl Channel earlier. In fact, the TV station that sent an invitation to the studio to cooperate after the year was actually not the only one in the imperial capital.
It's just that in order to ensure that the variety shows he plans can get better ratings, Lu Wenbin still attaches more importance to and screens the TV stations he chooses to work with. A low-ranking TV station, he really doesn't want to cooperate with it.
When the three of them came to the reception room of the Literature and Art Center Department, Xu Zhen and the director of the Variety Show Department were already waiting here. After the two sides met and chatted, Xu Zhen also smiled and said, "Screenwriter Lu, how is the filming of your new drama?"
"The progress is not bad! However, we have to change the scene and go to several other shooting spots to shoot next, and if you want to finish it, you will have to wait for at least a month or two! Director Lu and I attach more importance to this drama. ”
"Then after the filming of this new drama, can you give us a priority to cooperate?"
Thinking of Lu Wenbin's second cooperation with Lu Zhengshan, the actors invited are still Xiaosheng and Xiaohuadan, who are currently more popular in China. With the addition of this TV series, it also caused a lot of repercussions on the Internet earlier, and the ratings will not be too bad if you want to.
For this reason, Xu Zhen also plans to take this opportunity to say hello to Lu Wenbin in advance to see if he can win the premiere rights of this drama. In this way, it is also conducive to strengthening the cooperation between the two sides.
Facing Xu Zhen's words, Lu Wenbin smiled bitterly and said: "Minister Xu, I really can't call the shots in this matter." The promotion and sale rights of this drama are all in charge of the emperor's side, and I don't have much say in this matter!"
"If you say this, if you want to get the premiere rights of your new drama, I'm afraid that I will let Mr. Li stab again!"
Regarding Xu Zhen's smile, Lu Wenbin also smiled and said: "The bigger the investment, the greater the return! Our previous cooperation, I believe that you will not make less money! The new year is off to a good start, and there are not many opportunities!"
If there is a chance, we will try our best to fight for your drama this time. Speaking of which, if the first broadcast rights were replaced by exclusive broadcast rights when I bought them last time, I believe the ratings would have been higher!"
"One more TV station that premiered, although it will share some ratings, but in a sense, it also shares some risks. If you buy exclusive broadcasting rights, although the benefits are large, the risks are also large. I believe Minister Xu has also seen the matter of high investment and low return!"
chatted about some things about the new drama, Xu Zhen looked at the time and said: "Screenwriter Lu, the time is about the same, let's go to the conference room to talk! Regarding your new variety show, we do have a lot of questions to ask!"
After all, as far as I am concerned, I also hope that the cooperation with your Taiwan will have a good result. Of course, I am personally still very optimistic about this new variety show. ”
"Well, seeing that you have such confidence, I am also a lot more relieved!"
After the group walked into the conference room with a smile, soon the production of the variety show and the details began a series of discussions. When it comes to the production of game levels, some people propose that this price is only afraid that it will be difficult to pay in Taili.
But Lu Wenbin shook his head and said: "If you have carefully read my plan, I believe you should see that I suggest that the equipment for these entertainment levels be built in a certain amusement park." In that case, you need to find a partner.
If you don't think you can use too advanced levels in the first phase, then I believe the cost of making a season of clearance items will not exceed 10 million. With a cost of less than 10 million, is it worth buying a show that can produce at least one season and half a year?
If it is replaced by an indoor variety show, with a production cost of 10 million, how many stars can be invited to appear?
Variety shows do not rely on the popularity of a certain episode, this variety show will definitely be popular. If you want to really win the love of the people, you can rely on the program to attract the attention of the people for a long time and cultivate loyal viewers of the program.
Other than that, you don't even have to pay for it. If you send someone to contact some of the big amusement park operators, I'm sure they'll be happy to work with you to develop these attractions.
After all, we only record one episode a week, which is a maximum of one day. For the remaining six days, these recreational facilities are also open to visitors. As long as the show is nationally recognized, these facilities will also become the most popular among tourists.
With a large number of visitors, it is also to some extent to increase the ticket revenue of their amusement park. Such a good thing, I think those amusement park operators should also be willing to pay for the production of those props!"
Hearing Lu Wenbin say this, the management who was worried that the station would not be able to come up with so much production costs also felt reasonable. After all, the props made are ultimately recycled in amusement parks rather than TV stations.
It can be said that such a cooperation is a good thing for both TV stations and amusement park operators. If this variety show can really become popular, it can also enhance the brand image of the amusement park. That's a lot of money to buy long-term advertising!
In the face of everyone's questions and confusion, Lu Wenbin gave an explanation in a timely manner. Gradually, the management, who was originally worried, stopped saying anything. As for Xu Zhen and Minister Lin, they also think that this variety show may be really interesting.
Now that the agreement on cooperation has been reached, what remains to be negotiated is the distribution of interests between the two parties. In this regard, as the executive manager of the company, Hu Feipeng will naturally strive for Lu Wenbin and the studio to maximize profits.
After all, today's Lu Wenbin is no longer the rookie planner of the past, and he can strive for a little more in matters involving copyright income. And the income that can be obtained from each point is sometimes millions of income!
