As the saying goes, 'planning is not as good as change', Lu Wenbin, who originally came to Pearl TV and just wanted to go to Pearl Satellite TV to feel the atmosphere of the recording program, but because of a variety show planning book, he became the planner invited by Pearl TV to enter the TV station.

Regarding the plan of 'Era Show', Luo Sihai, like Chu Xingyong, recognized the excellence of this plan. After the special meeting was held to discuss it, the Taiwan leaders who attended the meeting all felt that it was good and hoped to prepare for it as soon as possible.

It's just that when it comes to copyright and planner issues, Luo Sihai, as the deputy director in charge of the variety show department, still needs to have some discussions with Lu Wenbin on cooperation. After all, the creative copyright of this plan is in the hands of Lu Wenbin.

If Lu Wenbin's permission is not obtained, Mingzhutai will start preparations and planning, then the final result may be sued in court. Involving copyright theft, that is enough to destroy the golden signboard of Pearl Satellite TV.

In general, the Yanhuang Empire has a very strong level of copyright protection. In the eyes of many people, this is also a matter of credibility and reputation. If a TV station has a copyright theft scandal, who can believe in the credibility of the TV station?

With Chu Xuan leading the way, Lu Wenbin, who arrived at Pearl Satellite TV, also soon appeared in the hospitality room of the variety show department. Seeing that Lu Wenbin, who walked into the reception room, was so young, Luo Sihai still felt a little surprised.

But he still said very enthusiastically: "Hello writer Lu! I am Luo Sihai, the deputy director of Pearl Satellite TV. ”

'Hello Director Luo, I'm Lu Wenbin, thank you very much for the invitation!'

After the two sides shook hands, Luo Sihai, who invited Lu Wenbin to sit, said some polite words to compliment Lu Wenbin, and also began to shift the topic to variety show planning and cooperation. After all, this kind of cooperation is also the first time for Pearl TV.

Fortunately, some domestic TV stations also like to cooperate with some entertainment production companies, but cooperation in variety show production is really rare. In general, most of the co-productions are TV series.

'Writer Lu, about the variety show planning book you wrote, we think it's very good. I invited you over this time to discuss specific cooperation matters with you. What do you want from this collaboration?'

Facing Luo Sihai's refreshing and direct inquiry, Lu Wenbin thought for a while and said, "Director Luo, believe me in some situations, you should already know." Personally, it may seem a bit overwhelming for me to make a proposal for cooperation.

It's just that I personally like to watch variety shows, and I also hope that the variety shows I plan can be recognized by the audience. In the future, I hope to have the opportunity to participate in the recording and cooperation of this kind of program.

After all, I'm a newcomer, a graduate just out of school. In addition to talking on paper, I still don't know much about how to record a variety show, which also needs to be consulted by professional TV stations like you.

As for my personal request, since this is also the first time I have been involved in this kind of cooperation, I would like to hear your opinions first. You are professional in this regard, so please speak up to Director Luo.

Regardless of whether the cooperation can be successful or not, at least I feel the sincerity of you and Pearl TV. It's an honor for a nobody like me to meet with Director Luo. Let me say the request, I really don't know how to ask for it!"

From Lu Wenbin's words, Luo Sihai could hear that Lu Wenbin's shelf was very low. But the tone revealed in the words made Luo Sihai feel a little helpless. If the conditions given by the station are not suitable, cooperation may not be negotiated.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Writer Lu, are you willing to sell the copyright of the program? If you can, we can offer a high price on Pearl Satellite TV! When we record in the later stage, we can also give Writer Lu the permission to participate in the recording." ”

Regarding the conditions mentioned by Luo Sihai, Lu Wenbin shook his head directly and said: "Regarding the issue of copyright sales, I shouldn't consider it." If you really like this show, I can choose to work with you in the form of exclusive licensing.

In my personal opinion, this is a variety show that can be produced for multiple seasons. But if the variety show is not broadcast, if the expectations are too high, it is not a good thing. Whether it can be recognized by the audience will only be known after the broadcast and the market inspection.

If you sell the copyright rashly, you are not responsible for you, and you are not responsible for your own work. Therefore, adopting the method of exclusive authorization should be more suitable for my initial cooperation with your station.

Of course, if the show is as popular as we expected. So for the recording cooperation of the second season, as long as the conditions are not very demanding, I will also give priority to continuing to cooperate with your station.

As for the revenue of the program, I think it's too early to talk about it. After all, before a new variety show is broadcast, it is unknown whether it can be recognized by the market. Be cautious, I think it's very necessary. ”

If you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle!

Lu Wenbin's calm and sophisticated made Luo Sihai feel a little pressure. He knew very well that he would continue to treat the young man in front of him as an ordinary young man, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to reach an agreement in this negotiation.

What surprised Luo Sihai even more was the reason Lu Wenbin said, which seemed a bit irrefutable. After all, the final judgment on whether a show is good or not is in the hands of the audience, not themselves.

There are no results, and no amount of promises are empty talk. But let's talk about the results, the price that Mingzhutai needs to pay, I'm afraid it will far exceed the conditions reached now. This is a bet, both good and bad for Pearl TV.

Just when Luo Sihai was thinking about how to fight for the best interests of Taiwan, Lu Wenbin continued: "Director Luo, I have a proposal, I don't know if you can consider it?"

'Writer Lu, please speak!'

Considering that this variety show is a brand new variety show, whether it can be recognized by the audience remains to be tested by the market after the broadcast. Therefore, for the licensing fee in the first quarter, your station can give a market price.

If the results are good, I believe that Guitai will not treat me badly, a fledgling planner. For me, this collaboration is more of an attempt and an opportunity to learn, and I don't really care about how much money there is.

There's just one thing that I hope your station can consider, and that is that I need to participate in the recording of the program. From program preparation to post-production, I need to have a certain amount of decision-making and suggestion power. Of course, I can't participate in every episode.

If the market response is good after the program is broadcast, it also proves that my creativity has a market, and the program we recorded together is also recognized by the audience. As long as the program recording is on track, it doesn't really matter if I'm not there.

With the first successful cooperation, we will talk about the cooperation of the second season in the future, and I believe we have the bottom in our hearts. When the time comes, the corresponding program revenue sharing, as long as it is in line with the market situation, then we can continue to cooperate. ’

For Lu Wenbin at present, what he needs most is not program sharing and income, but more of an opportunity to enter the platform and be recognized by the TV station and the audience. As long as Mingzhutai tastes the sweetness, I am not afraid that they will not pay for it in the later stage.

What's more, these cooperation proposals put forward by Lu Wenbin are also very beneficial to Pearl TV. Win-win cooperation is the cooperation that Lu Wenbin values and pursues. The end of eating alone is often not too good!

After some consideration and measurement, the variety show department urgently needs a new variety show to take over. After careful consideration, Luo Sihai decided to cooperate according to Lu Wenbin's proposal. As for the future cooperation, that is all to be considered in the future.

If this show can really achieve the results that Pearl Channel wants to see, Luo Sihai doesn't mind giving Lu Wenbin some more revenue sharing. After all, the real profit is still on the TV station in many cases.

As for Lu Wenbin's request for the right to participate in the preparation and production, Luo Sihai finally gave Lu Wenbin a position as deputy PD of the program. When it comes to program recording and post-editing, Lu Wenbin is also given a certain amount of decision-making power.

After negotiating the terms of cooperation, Lu Wenbin finally said: "Director Luo, I have a reluctant request, and I hope Director Luo can help consider it." I want Chu Xuan to enter the program preparation team and serve as a trainee PD in the program team.

Although this is a little selfish on my part, I also make this request in the hope that in the future, when I don't have time to participate in the recording of the program. There are some new ideas and ideas that can be proposed and improved by Chu Xuan on his behalf, what do you think?"

A newcomer who has just entered the TV station for less than half a year has become a trainee PD of a new variety show, which is indeed a bit of a step to the sky. But everything is out of consideration for the show, and it's not impossible to try.

As long as this variety show can be recognized by the market and meet the expectations of Pearl Satellite TV. Then giving Chu Xuan a position as a trainee PD is just a trivial matter for Pearl Satellite TV.

What's more, if there is this friendship, in the future, if Taili and Lu Wenbin continue to cooperate, maybe Chu Xuan will be the best link. Therefore, after listening, Luo Sihai readily agreed to Lu Wenbin's request!
