Chapter 144, The Voice and the Running Man!
Buying out ideas at a high price?
Zhejiang Provincial Satellite TV's abacus is not clever! They may have noticed that a new variety show model such as "The Masked Singer" must be eye-catching, so they will ask Su Yi for 'buyout creativity'.
It's just that...... Is it really possible?
What is Xu Rui lacking the most? Originality!
Because of the novelty variety shows such as "The Masked Singer" and "Youth Undefeated" in later generations, Xu Rui can take advantage of the time difference of the past few years to set up his own production company, so as to sell copyrights to major provincial satellite TVs.
However, what about a buyout...... To be honest, it still doesn't meet the standard that makes Xu Rui tempted, because the word buyout is easy to understand, and there is no doubt that it is to hand over all the follow-up copyrights to Zhejiang Satellite TV.
In this way, the income of the program has nothing to do with Xu Rui, and it is impossible for him to get any benefits from the high ratings of the program and the huge advertising costs.
This made Xu Rui unable to make up his mind to agree to the request of Zhejiang Provincial Satellite TV.
"Rui, how should we reply to Zhejiang Satellite TV?" Su Yi asked out loud. She hasn't dealt with this kind of thing yet, but deep down she still hopes that Xu Rui can agree to the buyout idea that Zhejiang Satellite TV said.
After all, today's Xu Rui completely authorizes the so-called variety show concept to Jiang Provincial Satellite TV for free as a nomination, although Xu Rui can also get some benefits from it, but in the final analysis, it is still a drop in the bucket.
"Hmm...... Buying out ideas is impossible. But it's okay if you cooperate for a win-win situation. Xu Rui thought for a while and said.
"Win-win cooperation? What do you mean......" Su Yi was confused by Xu Rui's words, obviously not understanding what he meant by this. "Cooperate with Zhejiang Satellite TV? How to cooperate? ”
"It's very simple, since they want to be creative, then the advertising revenue is shared, but the copyright must be in my hands. You can just reply to them like that. Xu Rui explained with a chuckle.
This condition is inevitably a little lion's mouth, but since Zhejiang Satellite TV has asked him, he must be prepared in this regard.
Xu Rui is not afraid that the other party will not agree, because it is better not to agree, and when he saves energy, he can completely jump out of the step of attaching to the TV station. Pull up the team alone, and at that time, if you want to cooperate, you have to buy it with real money.
"That...... Are you sure you're not kidding me? Su Yi asked helplessly.
This kind of condition does not say Zhejiang Provincial Satellite TV. Even her, an outsider, sounds a little excessive, where is this win-win cooperation, obviously Xu Rui came up with an idea, and then sat back and waited to collect the money.
"Who's free to joke with you!" Xu Rui almost fell, but he was very serious.
The reason for this. The main reason is that Xu Rui is not interested in cooperating with Zhejiang Satellite TV, so there is no concession in terms of conditions.
If Zhejiang Satellite TV agrees, then he will make more money, if he doesn't agree, then Xu Rui himself will have a way to produce many ideas in the future and sell them.
"If you reply to Zhejiang Satellite TV according to what you said, it is impossible for the other party to agree. Isn't this a clear sign that you're taking advantage? They're not stupid. ”
Su Yi opened his mouth and said: "Actually, I think that if you can write a new variety show concept, you can try to sell it to Zhejiang Satellite TV." Anyway, it's impossible for you to start another show now, so it's better to sell it for money. ”
"Who said you can't start another show?" Xu Rui said with a smile.
"What we signed with Jiang Provincial Satellite TV is not a deed of sale. It's just a program appointment. In other words, I can now go to other TV stations to open another variety show, these are outside the contract, and Jiang Provincial Satellite TV can't restrict it at all. ”
"That'...... In this case, Ah Rui might as well start a show on Zhejiang Satellite TV. After the previous encounter, Zhejiang Satellite TV will probably not ask you to sign any deed of sale. In this way, there is no need to hand over the copyright to Zhejiang Satellite TV. Su Yi said with an idea.
Listening to Su Yi's suggestion, Xu Rui suddenly noticed this.
That's right! Why should he be entangled in the problem of buying out ideas, since there is no contract restriction, and Zhejiang Satellite TV is full of sincerity, he can go there to open a new show!
And as long as the copyright issue is negotiated in advance. Or if Zhejiang Satellite TV only has the right to screen, but does not have the right to make a second production, then it is okay!
It seems that I have indeed been a little blind before, and my thinking about the problem is still not comprehensive enough. I just wanted to make Zhejiang Provincial Satellite TV bleed, but I didn't consider that even if I succeeded, I would invisibly offend a provincial satellite TV.
"You really reminded me." Xu Rui groaned. "That's good, just reply to Zhejiang Provincial Satellite TV as you said just now, if they can accept it, the rest will be interviewed at that time."
"Okay. It is estimated that they definitely did not expect that Ah Rui would consider going to Zhejiang Satellite TV to open a new program, if nothing else, they should agree. Su Yi analyzed.
"Well, after all, a show is worth zero before it airs. However, it is precisely because of this that we must sort out the copyright issue before we go, otherwise it will be worth the loss. Xu Rui did not forget to instruct Su Yidao.
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Su Yi smiled brightly, then hung up the phone, and prepared to contact Zhejiang Provincial Satellite TV.
Putting away the phone, Xu Rui fell into thought.
Being able to restart cooperation with Zhejiang Satellite TV is something he didn't expect anyway, and he really doesn't know what kind of variety show concept to write for a while.
The real rise of Zhejiang Satellite TV in later generations is because of a talent show "Voice of the Netherlands" from the Netherlands, that is, "The Voice of China", which has been produced in China for many seasons, and after that, it is the "Runningman" that was purchased from South Korea's SBS TV station at a high price.
It can be said that first "The Voice of China" established the status of Zhejiang Satellite TV in the field of variety shows, and then it was Running Man that further consolidated the ambition of Zhejiang Satellite TV in the field of variety shows.
These two programs are very important to Zhejiang Satellite TV, and they are even closely related to his rise, so Xu Rui can't make up his mind for a long time, which one should be the first to be plagiarized.
There are many inevitable factors for the success of "The Voice of China", because this is the first program in China that separates production and broadcasting in a real sense, and is jointly produced by Zhejiang Satellite TV and Canxing Media.
Zhejiang Provincial Satellite TV provides the platform and communication, and Canxing not only buys the adaptation rights, but also provides an artist contract for the students participating in the Voice.
Therefore, if you want to plagiarize a good voice, Xu Rui must first have a company, otherwise he will not be able to fully play the role of these students, so according to the current situation, he needs to wait.
At least when Xu Rui independently establishes a company and can produce and sell it himself, he will not waste the strong appeal of "The Voice of China". (To be continued.) )
