188: A trip to Xiangjiang
It is true that the price can be lowered, but this can only happen under one premise.
NHK proposes a cap, or no competitors join.
Wang Luo naturally couldn't think that the money was small and not sell, besides, it was a foreign country, and sooner or later there would be an online version.
Ichiro Wada was stuck there at the price of $120,000, and refused to continue to raise the price.
If the old routine is followed, the two sides should stop the negotiations at this time, wait for an hour or two, or half a day and then continue the negotiations.
At this time, the price divergence tends to gradually narrow.
But just as the two sides were about to terminate the talks, another Japanese television station contacted the company and offered a price of $150,000 per episode.
Regarding this news, Wang Luo did not hide it, but directly told Ichiro Wada.
As for how they competed with each other, Wang Luo didn't care, the more fierce the money between NHK and Asahi was, the more beneficial it would be for Wang Luo.
Simply, Wang Luo directly handed over the negotiation work to Wang Biwen and told the other party his bottom line.
There are no competitors, and the bottom line is $150,000 a episode.
The eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law are about to come back from their hometown, but Wang Luo doesn't have much time to wait for the eldest brother-in-law to come back.
I called a car at the company and went to the airport alone.
Funding is no longer a problem, and what Wang Luo fears most is unlikely to happen.
The latest episode of the show broke through the ten ratings, which means that as long as the later shows are watched, Wang Luo will basically win the bet.
After a long flight. After arriving in Xiangjiang, the sun had just set.
Wang Luo didn't hide it too tightly, this is Xiangjiang. Although Wang Luo has a certain reputation, he is still much worse than the mainland.
Therefore, although Wang Luo did not have a cap, mask and sunglasses, after getting off the plane, there were few people who knew Wang Luo.
Like an ordinary passenger, Wang Luo left the airport smoothly through the VIP channel.
"Here......" A Mercedes sports car was parked at the exit of the airport, in the crowd. Han Xue saw Wang Luo at a glance, and hurriedly lowered the window and shouted.
"Not bad!" After getting into the car, Wang Luo looked around at the car.
I don't know the price though. But just by looking at the decoration, you know that it won't be cheap. And Han Xue didn't even have a scooter before, but he didn't expect that he hadn't seen him for a few months, and he had changed so much.
"It depends on who you compare yourself to." Han Xue said a little disapprehended, and immediately asked, "Hey." You're such a big card. When I came to Xiangjiang, no one picked it up? ”
"This time it's a private matter, besides, I'm not stupid, do I have free labor?" Wang Luo joked with a smile.
He didn't have a deep friendship with Han Xue, but Wang Luo was very willing to believe in each other. It's a little unreliable, but it seems to have a feeling in the dark.
"Che, do you really think I'm a free laborer? See I don't let you bleed profusely. Han Xue was speechless for a while, but still asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Let's go to the set of TVB!" Wang Luo said.
"Looking for an actor? Did you put me in? Han Xuemali started the car. He asked.
"Of course there is, but not in the first part." Wang Luo said with a wicked smile.
"It's like I didn't say it. In case the first part doesn't work well, where does the second part come from? ......" Han Xue responded casually, but she couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart.
But he quickly realized the problem, and turned his head to look at Wang Luo in surprise: "You want to make a movie?" ”
Wang Luo nodded: "Well, the script has been written, just wait for the actors." ”
"Are you taking a big step? I haven't gained a firm foothold in the mainland, and I began to think about entering Xiangjiang? Han Xue said worriedly.
Wang Luo is a person who doesn't like to play cards according to common sense, and he did a good job in the music world, but suddenly went to shoot a TV series.
As a result, the first TV series was tepid and could not be accepted by the public.
Some time ago, I filmed another TV series, and I heard that it seems to be pretty good, with the participation of the people above.
But now Wang Luo has suddenly intervened in the film industry, if only that's it. The TV series have been filmed, and it is not a big deal to make a movie.
Wang Luo, who never played according to the routine, went directly to the mainland and went to Xiangjiang to make a movie.
For a mainlander, this step is too dangerous.
Xiangjiang is not as big as the mainland, although the market is not as big as the mainland, many Xiangjiang companies and artists want to go to the mainland for development.
But Hong Kong's position in the film and television industry is very special, especially with the development of this year.
The films that are popular in the mainland may not be popular in Xiangjiang. But the film that is popular in Xiangjiang has a great chance of becoming popular when it is taken to the mainland.
In fact, Han Xue has always been unwilling to be just a singer, and she also wants to diversify.
But it is very helpless, the system of Xiangjiang is different from that of the mainland. Here, she basically has no possibility of participating in the filming of TV series.
As for movies, few people use newcomers like her. Unless she waits for her fame to accumulate to a certain extent, then no director will dare to use her.
"Hehe, it's a challenge, it's so boring to walk step by step." Wang Luo casually found a reason to fool around.
Do you want to tell Han Xue that the next movie I want to make saved the Xiangjiang film industry in that world? Bringing new development opportunities to the film and television industry in Hong Kong?
Anyway, I have done a lot of this kind of thing, and it is nothing to do two more things.
At most, they are just regarded by others as stupid and money-rich objects, so what if they are ridiculed for a few days? The results speak for themselves, and there are always times when they cry.
"You're really different from normal people." Han Xue shook her head helplessly.
Quietly glanced at Wang Luo, plucked up his courage, and said tentatively: "Since I was not in the first movie, do you want to write a song to comfort me?" ”
"Okay, no problem, I'll write to you when I'm done with the things at hand and I'll write to you when I return to Tianjing." Wang Luo nodded in agreement.
Writing songs? There are not many people who invite Wang Luo to sing, and if they ask for it directly, they will find someone to ask for it.
But Wang Luo never promised anyone, in fact, so far. The number of songs Wang Luo writes for other people is also very limited.
Xu Lin's five, Aliwen's two, and the legendary one. Liu Zixiao's two songs, now plus Han Xue, who has just been scheduled.
"By the way, how was the last time you went to Tianjing?" Wang Luo suddenly remembered the scene when the two met in Tianjing a few months ago, and couldn't help asking.
"There's no follow-up, you know, newcomers like us, even if they go to the mainland, they can't have too good development." Han Xue said with a slight loss.
Xiangjiang artists went to the mainland to develop. This has become a consensus, although Xiangjiang can make them famous, but the area is too small. Far from meeting their needs.
In this era of supremacy of interests, it is more profitable to hold a concert in the mainland than to hold two or three concerts in Xiangjiang.
The huge population base of the mainland is also a blessed land for Xiangjiang artists.
In Xiangjiang, no matter how hard they try. There are only a few people who like you.
Unless you can be like a superstar. Become the pillar of Hong Kong.
In the mainland, it is different, as long as you can get the corresponding support. Xiangjiang artists can quickly make a name for themselves in the mainland, and in terms of income, they are much more than in Xiangjiang.
Obviously, Han Xue does not belong to that ranks.
is also from the grassroots, Han Xue does not have strong backstage support, nor does he have strong team support.
In Xiangjiang, Han Xue is a potential rookie. But on the mainland. She was nothing.
The most important thing in the development of a singer is the song. Han Xue is not an original singer, and it is impossible for the company to devote a lot of energy to her.
Therefore, the plan to go to the mainland for development will naturally fall through.
And the reason why Han Xue's company did this is not completely without reason.
In fact, for every newly signed artist, they will arrange to go to the mainland to test the waters.
If it succeeds, everyone is happy. If they fail, they will comfort the artists and let them develop in Xiangjiang with peace of mind, and wait for the right opportunity to develop in the mainland.
Of course, in order to save money and avoid unnecessary expenses.
When these new artists go to the mainland, the company does not invest too many resources. To sum it up in four words, it is to resign yourself to fate.
The degeneration of the music industry is not because the singers are not capable enough.
It's because the world isn't creative enough, and people are often more willing to let children learn some scientific knowledge, or professional skills.
Art school or something, to put it mildly, in addition to having ideals, the rest are basically those who have poor studies and can't get into college.
Some excellent lyricists have had singer experience when they were young. In other words, there are not many people who have actually engaged in lyricism from the beginning.
This is like the dark period of the world's Xiangjiang film and television industry, and everyone lost confidence in the industry.
Investors no longer invest, the audience is not satisfied with the status quo, and as a result, the market is getting worse and worse.
"Find a chance to come to the mainland, if you really can't do it, you can come to my company." Wang Luo said tentatively.
This time it's not a rash thing, and the company is short of people right now.
It's been a year, and other people's income is not proportional to their investment at all. In this way, it is difficult for Wang Luo to continue to develop in this industry.
After all, no one is going to stick to something that is constantly investing, but never seeing the benefits.
Although this is an ideal, it is also a necessary way. But now after the Aliwen incident, Wang Luo just wants to hold a star concert and can't get enough people.
If it is purely to make money, Wang Luo does not need to recruit other artists at all, it is enough to be alone. The money earned is enough for his family to spend a lifetime.
"I'd like to go, but it's not that easy."
"I still have a three-and-a-half-year contract with the company, and a termination fee of six million."
"Unless someone is willing to pay this money, I can only wait for the contract to end before going to the mainland to develop."
"Six million, hehe, for the company, this money is enough to train a new person, it's really not worth spending on me." Han Xue shook her head and said helplessly.
The car was parked firmly at the door of the TVB studio, and they could only go here.
People who are not TVB are impossible to enter unless they are accompanied by insiders. (To be continued......)
