The sunlight pierced the haze, staining the sky over the imperial capital with a strange golden light.

The first season of the TV series promotion meeting of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" is being held in the conference room on the fourth floor of the imperial capital headquarters of Tencent Pictures.

Including CCTV, more than a dozen satellite TV stations were all present.

“……”

"Whew!"

Just as Tang Nian was about to continue, the purchasing director of a certain satellite TV station couldn't help but sneer.

The voice was so harsh that Tang Nian had to stop.

"Excuse me, sir, what is your opinion on what I just said?"

Tang Nian asked quietly, he just glanced at it and knew that this was the purchasing director of Qinghai Satellite TV, but he couldn't remember the name.

"The contemptible surname is Gu, he is the purchasing director of Qinghai Satellite TV, it is the first time to participate in the TV series promotion meeting of Tencent Pictures, and it is also the first time to meet Mr. Tang!"

"I want to ask Mr. Tang to understand a truth, that is, no matter how much you invest in this TV series, since you have obtained the broadcast license, obtained the qualification for legal sale, and placed it at the promotion meeting, it means that this TV series has become a commodity!"

"Since this TV series has become a commodity, then our TV station, including everyone here, spent a lot of money to buy it, so how to use it is our business, we can edit it if we want to, and we can post ads if we want to ......"

"Mr. Tang, your hand is too long, isn't it?"

Speaking of which, the fat-headed and big-eared Director Gu looked around and saw that no one made a sound, and he felt that he had spoken to everyone's heart, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

thinks that he is a purchasing director of a satellite TV station, and he is definitely a sideways existence in the TV drama market, no matter which TV series is promoted at the meeting, he is a high-ranking existence.

Without him, because the power of Qinghai Satellite TV's outsourced TV series is in his hands!

In the seven or eight years since he took charge of Qinghai Satellite TV's TV station to purchase TV dramas, he has been accustomed to seeing TV production companies nodding and slapping him, and even sending a lot of money to his room......

If it weren't for Tencent Pictures' production of "Cohabitation Blog", which happened once in 20 years, although it was the fourth round of broadcasting, it still won the crown of Qinghai Satellite TV's highest ratings in the past 20 years.

How could he, the purchasing director of a satellite TV station, take the initiative to attend the promotion meeting of the TV series without being personally invited?

It was precisely because of this that when he heard Tang Nian's words, he was very unhappy.

In his opinion, TV dramas are commodities, no matter how much money your producer spends, after it is sold at the promotion meeting, it is the business of the TV station, and it has nothing to do with your producer.

The ratings are good, I may have two opinions on the producer, but how to maximize the interests of the TV station What does the TV station do naturally, what happened to the placement ads and interstitial ads? What happened to my secondary edit? I pay for it, I'm the biggest!

However, the opening recap and end credits trailer are a good idea to extend the airtime by at least ten minutes.

Since then, the original 50-episode TV series has been extended to at least 60 episodes, which has virtually reduced the purchase price of a single episode

In the past, Mango TV played the most slippery, but this time I will change Qinghai Satellite TV to do it......

"So, Director Gu, you don't agree with any of the three principles I just said?"

A burst of anger appeared in Tang Nian's heart, he clenched his fists and slowly let go, but looking at the gaze of the purchasing director from Qinghai Satellite TV, he was already looking at a dead man.

I used to hear from the old people in the circle that TV stations do not respect film and television production companies, and often edit the film and television works created with their hearts at will, or even delete the intermediate clips, resulting in incoherent plots, lens costumes, etc., which seriously reduces the quality of TV dramas.

And the patch ads at the beginning and end of the credits are even more infuriating, and the TV station does this because it doesn't take the main creators behind the TV series seriously.

Why does a TV series have to have an opening and ending credits?

That's because the actor portrays the character, which is only the beginning of the creation of a TV series, and without the joint efforts of the director, producer, lighting, props and other behind-the-scenes creators and post-production, it is impossible to complete the production of the TV series.

And the TV station's shameful opening and ending roll advertisements and rough secondary editing not only ruined the originally well-made TV series, but even the names of the main creators behind the scenes could not appear in front of the audience.

What a sad thing for the creative staff behind the scenes.

"Of course, TV series are commodities, I don't care how much cost you spend to produce them, since I paid for it, how to use it is my business, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Director Gu patted his round belly and said politely.

"I'm sorry, I can't agree with your point of view, and your words are a great insult to me!"

"In view of the fact that the gap between you and the Qinghai Satellite TV you represent is too big and our concept is too big, it is difficult to cooperate, as long as you are still on Qinghai Satellite TV, then you will lose the qualification to buy the film and television works produced by me from Tencent Pictures and Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop!"

didn't talk to this fat-headed and big-eared guy, Tang Nian directly issued a judgment.

"Don ...... Tang Nian, are you crazy? ”

"Mr. Bai?"

As the purchasing director of the satellite TV station, Director Gu's eyes widened for the first time, he looked at the expressionless Tang Nian on the stage, and was shocked by his words.

He subconsciously turned around and looked at the CEO of Tencent Pictures sitting in the audience, pressed it and asked for confirmation softly.

"It's a pity, Director Gu, the differences between our two sides are too big, I'm afraid we can't reach cooperation!"

Bai Yiji smiled, but there was no hint of veto to Tang Nian's decision in his words.

The first season of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" invested as much as 500 million, of which Tencent Pictures invested 300 million, Tang Nian and Huangliang Performing Arts jointly invested 200 million, and the creation cycle was as high as eight months, which can be said to be a painstaking work.

And in the process of transferring to post-production, Bai Yizhu witnessed the whole process.

If you talk about the quality of the first season of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals", I am afraid that except for Tang Nian, he has the most confidence and confidence in Bai Yiji.

Prior to this, the first season of the TV series "The Legend of Mortal Immortals", except for the first and only trailer that was just launched on Weibo, there was no leakage of any tidbits, shooting diaries, stills, etc.

But Bai Yiji is still full of confidence, with an investment of up to 500 million yuan in TV dramas, in fact, compared with the quality of the first season of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals", it can only be said that it is a small cost and a big production.

Therefore, when Director Gu of Qinghai Satellite TV trampled on Tang Nian's three principles, Bai Yiji had already made plans to ask this Director Gu to leave, but fortunately, Tang Nian's thoughts were the same as his.

"Hehehe......"

"I really didn't expect that a drama or an artist could dominate a film and television giant like Tencent Pictures, and I can be regarded as an eye-opener?"

Seeing that he was about to be asked to leave the scene, Director Gu suddenly felt that his body and mind had been greatly insulted, he looked up at Tang Nian, who was standing on the stage with a calm face, and looked around again, but found that no one from the brother station came out to support, and his heart jumped!

"Get me out!"

Listening to the so-called 'Director Gu' extremely resentful sowing discord, Bai Yiji was completely angry.

Do you really think that he, a film and television predator backed by the Tencent empire, is a vegetarian?

"Pedal ......"

Several security personnel waiting outside kept an eye on the movement of the conference room, and in the roar of Mr. Bai, they quickly ran in and took out the fat-headed and big-eared Director Gu.

"You're going to regret it......"

Being dragged away from the scene in a humiliating manner, Director Gu let out a final shout, and the aftermath echoed in the conference room.

"Idiot ......"

An old acquaintance of Tencent Pictures, Zhang Hong, deputy director of Dragon TV, said in a low voice, and the corners of the mouths of several representatives of satellite TV stations sitting next to him couldn't help but turn up.

"A huge satellite TV station actually let such a fool be the purchasing director, no wonder Qinghai Satellite TV's ratings have always been at the bottom of the national David TV......"

"Such a person, left in our Zhejiang Satellite TV, can't even be a doorman!"

"Doorman? Hmph, in our Jinghui Satellite TV, if you find such a stupid guy, you must clear it out! ”

"Clear out? In our Susu Satellite TV, if there is such a stupid * force, the director should be out of class! ”

“……”

It seems that because of the clown posture of 'Director Gu' just now, the atmosphere was enlivened, and seven or eight satellite TV stations plus CCTV came to chat from the beginning, and the vague sabre-rattling that had been there from the beginning finally faded a lot.
