Chapter 449: Arrived at the District TV Station
Chapter 449 to the district TV station
I heard some gossip that Director Liu accepted bribes from the owners of some children's literature publishing houses and adapted their works into cartoons! After listening to Xu Hong's words, Zheng Ming felt that it was also very reasonable. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"That's it, since that's the case, it shows that it's not that our works are not good, it's just that this Director Liu is not good." Xu Hong said again.
Xu Hong is still very confident in his work, since their TV station is unwilling to ask for it, it can only mean that there is something wrong with this Director Liu.
"Xu Hong, what you said has some truth, so, wait for me to investigate for a few more days, I think someone must be obstructing this! I'll wait until I've investigated this issue clearly. After listening to Xu Hong's words, Zheng Ming felt that it made sense, and he wanted to investigate this matter.
"Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you! You see, my guess is right. If it's really Director Liu's problem, then I have to find another way, otherwise, we can still fight for it. ”
Xu Hong knows that his works are still very powerful, as long as there are people who know the goods, they will definitely be able to adapt them into cartoons on Beijing TV!
"Okay, I'll go back and investigate first!" Zheng Ming and Xu Hong had another drink, and after that, the two came out of the hotel.
After Zheng Ming returned to the TV station, he began to inquire about Director Liu, and after a series of investigations and interviews, he finally knew why Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings" could not be adapted into a cartoon on Beijing TV.
It turns out that Liu Changhe is making trouble again! This Director Liu turned out to be related to Liu Changhe, and the two turned out to be uncles and cousins. The relationship is not bad, and they often eat and drink together.
Regarding the matter between Liu Changhe and Xu Hong, this Director Liu is also very clear. When Zheng Ming introduced Xu Hong's work "Sanmao Wanderings" to Liu Qiangchang, he knew that this was Xu Hong's work, and he also knew the relationship between Xu Hong and Liu Changhe, and the two were competitors.
Therefore, when Director Liu knew about this, he immediately met with Liu Changhe and told him what he had encountered.
When Liu Changhe heard this, he immediately said to Director Liu: "Director Liu, can your TV station adapt Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings" into a cartoon. ”
"Why, what does this work have to do with you." Director Liu didn't quite understand what Liu Changhe meant at first, so he also asked again.
"Director Liu, you don't know, Xu Hong is now a competitor with me, he is a contracted writer of 'New Star Publishing House'. This 'New Star Publishing House' was originally a small publishing house, but in the last six months, this small publishing house has grown all of a sudden. It's all because they have a master like Xu Hong behind them who is helping them.
This is called Xu Hong is a great person, he not only has a talent for painting, but also a talent for writing, he wrote "Sanmao Wandering" is very popular with children, the market response is getting better and better, and now the sales have surpassed our "Robot Adventure". If your TV station adapts Xu Hong's work into an animated film, then the impact of this work will be even greater, and at that time, we're afraid that our 'Chuncao Publishing House' will be even more unhappy, and it is very likely that it will go out of business, or let this 'New Star Publishing House' be swallowed up!
Director Liu, I beg you, you must not adapt Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings" into a cartoon, so that our 'Chuncao Publishing House' will have a way to live, otherwise, our 'Chuncao Publishing House' will close its doors sooner or later. ”
Liu Changhe looked at Director Liu and told him what he had encountered. The purpose is to let Director Liu help him!
After listening to Liu Changhe's words, Director Liu naturally smiled and said, "Changhe! This matter, don't worry, for our TV station, the results of adapting that work to shoot cartoons are almost the same, and I am also the person in charge of this aspect, you can rest assured, as long as I don't agree to adapt "Sanmao Wanderings" into cartoons, then no one will agree to adapt Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings" into cartoons.
You can rest assured about this! I'm looking for you, and that's what I'm thinking! How to say, we are related, I don't help you, who will help you! "Director Liu was originally a TV station official who was not very clean. After listening to Liu Changhe's words, he naturally agreed, and said that he would help Liu Changhe!
"Thank you, Director Liu. I'll be sure to thank you again when I look back. Liu Changhe saw that his cousin had agreed to him, and of course he was very happy.
In this way, when Director Liu told Liu Changhe what he had encountered, of course this Liu Changhe did not want Director Liu to adapt Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings".
So when Zheng Ming put Xu Hong's work in front of Director Liu, of course he would not agree. So, Xu Hong found the wrong person this time. On Beijing TV, he doesn't seem to be able to eat. Except for a reporter Zheng, he doesn't know any other station leaders!
And Liu Changhe also paid a great price for this. For this matter, Liu Changhe gave Liu Taichang 100,000 yuan in cash at once!
Because Liu Changhe knows very well that if this matter is not taken down, then his publishing house is afraid that it will close down in a few months. Since this is the case, it is better to send some money to Director Liu, so that his publishing house can continue to operate.
In this way, after Liu Taichang accepted Liu Changhe's bribe, of course he had to do things for Liu Changhe, what did he do, he would not agree to Zheng Ming to adapt Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings" into a cartoon.
But not many people knew about all this at first, but there is no impermeable wall in the world. Even if Liu Changhe felt that what he had done was seamless, there were still people who knew about the good things he had done.
So Zheng Ming learned from a friend of a TV station how Director Liu accepted bribes from Liu Changhe.
From this, Zheng Ming can be sure that Liu Changhe must have given money to Director Liu this time, otherwise, how could Director Liu not adapt Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings", is this obviously an abnormal thing! A good work like "Sanmao Wanderings", as long as it is adapted into an animated film, it must be able to become popular. However, it is not strange that Beijing TV is unwilling to adapt this popular children's literature into an animated film!
When Zheng Ming figured out this matter, he called Xu Hong again. He had to hurry up and tell Xu Hong what he knew.
Xu Hong was also a little surprised when he heard what Zheng Ming said, originally he thought that the reason why Director Liu would refuse to adapt their works into cartoons was that he thought that other writers might have given gifts to Director Liu, and then Director Liu adapted the works of other writers into cartoons, instead of adapting Xu Hong's works into cartoons.
But now when he heard what Zheng Ming said, Xu Hong was a little puzzled, he never thought that if he wanted to adapt his work into a cartoon, he would also meet Liu Changhe, is he destined to fight with this person for the rest of his life!
"Zheng Ming, I know about this, since this is the case, then I don't think there is any way, Director Liu is Liu Changhe's cousin, then we can only stand aside." After Xu Hong knew about this, he felt that he had no choice, since people had a relationship, then he didn't think about taking "Sanmao Wanderings" to Beijing TV and adapting it into a cartoon.
"Xu Hong, in this way, in fact, there are many companies on Beijing TV, and we don't have to adapt our works on Beijing TV. Can I put my work on other TV stations? Zheng Ming gave Xu Hong another trick.
In fact, Xu Hong himself thought about this, he thought before, if he couldn't adapt his own works on Beijing TV, he could also take his works to the district TV station to adapt! After all, the district TV station is just a small local TV station, and they won't have too many requirements.
After listening to Zheng Ming's words, Xu Hong said again: "What you said is right, why do we have to just stare at the Beijing TV station!" We can also try the water on some small TV stations! As the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, 'As long as our works are popular, there will definitely be big TV stations that will notice us.' ”
Xu Hong listened to Zheng Ming's words, and felt that he had only one step left. Because, only in this way can we prove whether the "Sanmao Wanderings" he wrote has a market prospect. As long as the ratings are still very high after the adaptation of the cartoon, it means that this cartoon is very marketable and will definitely get more attention from TV stations.
"Xu Hong, what you said is right, I also know leaders on our district TV station, why don't I take you to meet their leaders now, they will definitely agree to adapt your work into cartoons." As soon as Zheng Ming heard Xu Hong's words, he also said happily. Zheng Ming is also a vigorous and resolute person, doing what he says, which is similar to Xu Hong, which is why they can become good friends.
"Okay, you wait, I'll go over to you right away." After Xu Hong finished speaking, he immediately talked to Principal Chen, and then drove to find Zheng Ming again.
After the two met at the Beijing TV station, they drove to their district TV station together.
Zheng Ming took Xu Hong to find a deputy director he knew.
This deputy director is a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, his name is Zheng Hong, he is a cousin of Zheng Ming, and he is also a big family. After listening to what Zheng Ming said, he immediately happily agreed.
Because this middle-aged man is also a deputy director of the district TV station, he is also a leader in charge of the children's channel. These days, I'm thinking about finding an excellent children's literature to adapt into an animated film!
Originally, the deputy director also took a fancy to a work like "Sanmao Wanderings", and he also wanted to contact the author to see if he could adapt this work into an animated film!
But thinking about it again, I feel that this work is so popular now, and I'm afraid that other authors can't look down on it! Perhaps, people have already sold the copyright to other big TV stations!
So, the deputy director didn't contact Xu Hong, and now when he heard Zheng Ming's intention, he slapped his thigh, looked at Zheng Ming and Xu Hong happily and said: "It's great that you guys are here, I've been thinking about this thing for the past few days!" It's really whatever you want! ”
Hearing the words of this deputy director, Xu Hong and Zhengming were also very happy. The two also smiled at each other, feeling that this trip was not in vain.
"Mr. Xu, thank you so much, I just wanted to contact you and talk to you about this matter! But think about it, your works are so popular, I'm afraid that our temple is small, and you won't look down on it! I really didn't expect you to come to the door now, and I'm really flattered. ”
This deputy director is a very modest and kind person, and when he saw Xu Hong and Zheng Ming coming to him together, he was a little excited.
"Uncle Zheng, isn't it just a work of children's literature that excites you! Haven't you adapted children's literature? How do you seem so excited. Zheng Ming looked very excited when he saw his deputy director friend looking at Xu Hong, so he laughed at him very kindly.
"Xiao Zheng! You don't know about this! A small local TV station like ours, ordinary big writers just can't watch it! Mr. Xu, it is not our honor to be willing to cooperate with us! Deputy Director Chen looked at Xu Hong happily and said.
"Okay, Uncle Zheng, if Mr. Xu's work is adapted into a cartoon on your TV station this time, the ratings are very high, don't forget to treat me, I am your 'matchmaker'!" Zheng Ming glanced at Xu Hong first, and then looked at Deputy Director Zheng and joked.
When Xu Hong and Deputy Director Chen heard this, they laughed together. After Zheng Ming himself told this joke, he also laughed along.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, how about it, let's sign the contract now!" Deputy Director Chen was afraid of extraneous branches, since Xu Hong and Zheng Ming came to the door in person. Of course he wanted to sign the contract immediately, so that he was not afraid that Xu Hong would regret it again and sell the copyright to others.
As soon as he heard Zheng Hong say this, Xu Hong immediately agreed. Anyway, Beijing TV didn't want his work, so he had to 'wrong' himself and sell the animation copyright of his work in this 'small temple'.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, you can take a look at the contract first, if there is no problem, you can sign it." Zheng Hong took out a copyright transfer contract from the drawer of his desk and showed it to Xu Hong.
Xu Hong just glanced at it casually, then picked up the pen and signed his name on it, after all, Xu Hong already knew a contract like this very well, he just didn't need to look at it carefully, as long as he signed his name.
