Chapter 042, Cooperation
(Thank you for all kinds of support!) )
After a few pleasantries, it's time to move on to the formal topic. This is Judegen's home field, so naturally he had to speak first, jokingly: "Young man, your two movies are very good, and I have also watched them, you shouldn't have come here to show off or find someone to praise you, right?" ”
"Uncle Qiu, don't make jokes about me, you didn't have me when you opened the theater, how can I, the younger generation, have the right to show off in front of you, and didn't you already praise me just now." Mo Fei said and sat on the sofa and continued: "I came to Uncle Qiu today mainly to talk about the cooperation between us. ”
Jude Gen took a puff of his cigarette, looked at Mo Fei with a smile, and asked, "Is there a cooperation between us?" But it's been more than 20 years since I opened a theater, and the current large-scale theater chain has nothing to do with me, so you make movies, I make TV, how can we cooperate? ”
Sure enough, it was an old fox, Mo Fei sighed in his heart. When I called before, I also said that I hoped to talk about the past and future of the Hong Kong entertainment industry together, and now I pretend to not understand very well, this is not a rabbit and a hawk.
Since he took the initiative to come to the door to cooperate, he could only speak first, and it was not Mo Fei's style to play dumb riddles, and said, "That's the case, Uncle Qiu." Maybe my words won't be very pleasing to the ear, but I'm telling the truth, ATV is still far from being able to play wireless, right? ”
The expression on Judegen's face did not change, he just nodded slightly, and continued to look at Mo Fei, waiting for him to speak later. A person who has reached his level has already practiced the kung fu of not being shocked, otherwise it would not have been possible to come to Hong Kong with a white body and lay down today's situation for the camp step by step.
And Xu Xiaoming and Li Zhilie on the side do not have such a deep bearing, especially Xu Xiaoming, who was born in a martial artist, still has the factor of not admitting defeat in his bones, his face is flat, and he said to Mo Fei: "Mr. Mo, what you say is not appropriate, ATV has just been on the stage for less than two years, and who is strong and who is weak between wireless and wireless is not something that can be separated from such a short family." If you want to say that ATV is not as good as wireless, you will have to see it in five years, and it is too early to say this. ”
This is already very polite, giving a real temper, and it is estimated that he will be scolded directly by Mo Fei. Mo Fei also ignored Xu Xiaoming's dissatisfaction, he couldn't be clearer about ATV's future, Xu Xiaoming said that it would take five years to see the difference, but it really had to wait until five years later, and ATV would change hands again; Jude Gen, the only boss who made money in ATV, will also give up the position of chairman of ATV in 88, and Xu Xiaoming himself, in 87, jumped to wireless, and what achievements will he say at that time, and ATV has indeed been pressed by wireless in history.
As long as you can come up with a practical reason, and the individual has enough strength to make changes, any doubts and objections are all invalid.
looked at Xu Xiaoming and smiled slightly, and said: "Mr. Xu is right, you really have to do things steadily, through a period of accumulation, and then you can accumulate steadily." But you can't just look at the future without looking at the present, even the current problems have not been solved, no matter how good the future is, it is just a bright moon in the water with flowers in the mirror, let's tell the truth, how many programs can ATV outperform wireless in ratings now? ”
This sentence can be asked to the truth, Xu Xiaoming was a little speechless for a while, wireless has been running benignly for so many years, and has already created a lot of classic programs, through the "Top Ten Golden Songs" firmly control one-third of the right to speak in the music world, Hong Kong sister beauty pageant and star-studded programs have also earned enough eyeballs for ATV, and the annual Taiwan celebration drama is the peak of the ratings, ATV has always been in a situation of being pressed by wireless.
Speaking of which, it is to catch up with wireless through hard work, but is the possibility really big, Xu Xiaoming himself does not dare to guarantee that not only ATV is working hard, but wireless will continue to develop.
It may indeed be possible to do it through five years of hard work, but how to ensure that there is enough space and opportunities for development in these five years is indeed not a small problem. If it's less than five years, you'll be beaten on the head by wireless and break your blood and bones, and you'll catch up with a fart, let's take some baggage and go home.
Listening to the meaning of Mo Fei's words, there is no irony, sarcasm or anything like that, does he also have a way in this regard? Li Zhilie is more responsible for the day-to-day affairs of administration, and thinks of more things than Xu Xiaoming, and a little faster, and he thinks that it is certainly not for no purpose to say this.
Said: "What Mr. Mo said is indeed the status quo of ATV, but any success needs to be gradually improved, no one can become fat in one bite, what we can do is to try to catch up and surpass." Since Mr. Mo said so, I think you should already have a way to deal with wireless, so you might as well say it so that we can have a long experience. ”
Finally got to the point, Mo Fei was not hypocritical, and said: "Actually, the solution is very simple, shoot a film with better quality and higher ratings than wireless, and make a TV program that is more popular with the audience, that's all." ”
Xu Xiaoming looked at Mo Fei in a daze, this is the way to feel you, haven't we been doing it all the time, saying the same as not saying it, and said a little unhappily: "Is this Mr. Mo's method, these methods are also what we have been using, but if you want to shoot a film that exceeds wireless, how can it be so easy, if you can shoot a good drama at any time, ATV would have overturned wireless a long time ago." ”
It may be difficult to give it to others, but I believe that it is still very simple to do it, there are not many films with high ratings, right, he smiled slightly, and said very easily: "So I'm here." ”
The voice of this sentence is not high, and there is no tough attitude, but it sounds so confident. Jude Gen looked at this young man who was less than half his age, and that kind of confident look, wasn't that how he was thirty years ago.
"You have your own film company and record company, so you won't come to ATV, what do you think, you might as well speak out and listen." Jude finally got the conversation on track.
Mo Fei reasoned his thoughts and said: "Qiu Bo, the current leadership of wireless is almost all-round, and ATV cannot take care of all aspects, so I think ATV needs a partner, that is, my Phoenix culture." I'm very confident in my creative ability, and if we can co-produce a series and produce a TV show together, I believe that we will soon be able to match or even surpass wireless in terms of ratings, and everything will be solved.
And if you want to compete with ATV for ratings, the best thing is to beat them on the same show. They have a Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, and we will be Miss Asia; They have a rising star singing competition, and we launch an Asian idol; They have artist classes as star-making machines, and ATV has the same as them, and we can even launch a talent show, selecting people with various specialties and skills to grow......"
Mo Fei kept talking for more than half an hour, and he talked about Jude Gen and the second general Humm. How many things are in this guy's head, if he really does what he says, it seems that he can indeed easily pick up wireless, and from then on, ATV will catch up with and surpass unlimited in ratings, and the dilemma he faces will naturally be lifted.
Subsequently, Mo Fei talked with the three of them for an afternoon, and even the dinner time was delayed for more than two hours, and finally reached a mutually acceptable consensus at about eight o'clock in the evening.
Under Xu Xiaoming's strong persuasion, Mo Fei originally proposed the idea of co-producing TV episodes, but Mo Fei produced the TV series instead, and ATV bought the broadcast rights. And Xu Xiaoming, as the program director of ATV, also because he himself is not very bold, unknowingly pushed ATV onto a road to quench his thirst.
This is Mo Fei's favorite way, originally he also wanted to cooperate like this, but considering the autonomy of the TV station, he chose to co-produce, but he didn't expect people to prefer to introduce, this Xu Xiaoming's courage is still not big enough.
On the contrary, Mo Fei was much bolder, not only agreeing to produce the TV series exclusively, but also proposing a way that Xu Xiaoming preferred, calculating the copyright fee according to the ratings. If the ratings are below 15 percent, they are willing to pay no money, and once the ratings reach more than 30 percent, for every two percentage points increase, the copyright fee will be increased by a percentage, to 40 percent, and the copyright fee will be increased by 30 percent on the original basis, and if the rating can reach 50 percent, the copyright fee will be twice the agreed price.
In addition, Phoenix Culture has registered the Miss Asia Beauty Contest, Asian Idol Talent Contest, and Talent Talent Contest, which are three programs, Asia Television has the priority to purchase broadcast rights, and the top five talent shows must become ATV's contracted artists, and the winners of the other two are arranged by Phoenix Culture.
