Zou Jianfeng, Dong Li, and Ni Huaner looked at each other.

Who would have thought that Tang Qingyou would be so bent on going his own way and making a desperate bet?

Originally, these three people, led by Zou Jianfeng, calculated the school-enterprise joint incubation youth drama project and online art education laid out by Tang Qingyou, and felt that it was reliable, as long as they operated seriously from now on and progressed steadily, the one-year, two-year, three-year, and four-year plan of the Qiao Drama Center could be completed as scheduled, and everything was in order. But Tang Qingyou suddenly wants to start a big project again, who in the circle doesn't know how to burn money by being original! If this is the first project, won't the next two, three, and four-year plans be inexhaustible every year? So they are firmly and unanimously against it.

But when Tang Qingyou said that the project had been decided and there was no need to discuss, the three of them, you look at me, I see you look at each other for nearly a minute, Dong Li stood up and said, "Sister You, then you can only succeed." ”

Their reaction was expected by Tang Qingyou, and there was not even the slightest deviation from the scene she imagined.

But when the facts came to face and saw that her team had such a centripetal force, she was still moved to her eyes a little damp.

"Okay, the opposition is invalid, go back and work hard!" Ni Huan'er jumped out and shouted, and the three of them laughed and pushed Tang Qingyou out of the conference room together.

The four reached an agreement, and the planning plan for the stage play "Shangshu" was soon released.

Generally speaking, a stage script is only one or two thousand words thick. The copyright of "Shangshu" has not yet been negotiated, and the authorization has not yet been obtained, so it is naturally at the script stage. In the project planning case alone, the three directors of Qiao Drama Center plus a gold medal special assistant gave the thickness of a long book.

Even Jiang Rui, who was not used to it, was so moved: "It's the first time in my life that I've seen such a heartfelt plan!" ”

In this way, it would be intolerable if the project was not successful.

Qi Ao people deeply feel that once this project is put into operation, it must be earth-shattering and invincible, and the previous worries about the project investment meat buns and dogs have also dissipated.

But no one expected that the planning was reliable enough, but they hadn't done the prerequisite for negotiating and authorizing!

After asking around, the copyright of the stage play of "Shangshu" is still in the hands of the author Liu Bai himself.

Tang Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "That's good, the author, they all want their works to be presented well, this is the first place." With the reliability of our plan, it is impossible for Master Liu not to agree to cooperate with us. Besides, we don't use his works for free, and the copyright fee is naturally given according to the market level. ”

Jiang Rui also thought so, and Zou Jianfeng and others also thought so.

Everything seems to be going in the normal direction as everyone predicted. After several rounds of contact, after several rounds of competition between the two sides, Liu Bai's various questions were answered in detail and reasonably.

However, Tang Qingyou, who had been hanging for several days, was about to let go, when Liu Bai was on the other hand, and the subject matter of the contract conveyed by the assistant stunned her again: a seven-figure stage play copyright authorization fee. This is one zero higher than the current market standard.

This time, it was Tang Qingyou's turn to hesitate. If it is a film and television copyright fee, Tang Qingyou also thinks it is worth it, but the conversion rate of the stage play is so low, and the seven-figure licensing fee is enough to make a stage play.

"Does this Master Liu think that the domestic IP market is hot now, and the copyright fee is rising, and his price is taken for granted?" Zou Jianfeng held the thick plan book and said it was incredible: "Sister You, why don't we tell him again and analyze the actual situation of the stage drama market?" ”

Tang Qingyou raised his hand, and wanted to say forget it, don't toss Liu Bai is famous for seeing money, and you still want to talk about your feelings with him, but after thinking about it, you still want to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor: "You try it." ”

Zou Jianfeng's scope of work has always been housekeeping, and for the first time, he took the initiative to invite Ying out to negotiate, and he was eager to try it single-handedly, but in the end he was defeated.

Back at the Qiao Drama Center, Zou Jianfeng shook his head in frustration and spat out bitterness with Tang Qingyou: "This Master Liu is definitely Pixiu. Professional money-absorbing, in and out! ”

Tang Qingyou comforted him a few words: "Let the martial arts champion talk about it, failure is a matter of course." It was expected for a long time. All right. Seeing that he was not very comfortable, he said his considerations: "Since this money can't be saved, let's think about it in the long run." First of all, let's take a look at the topic from the beginning, to see if the topic of this play is our first choice, if the high cost factor is considered, "Shangshu" can still be our first choice, then grit your teeth and sign the licensing contract with Liu Bai. Then let's see if there is a way to reduce expenses from other places, how to open source when operating, and flatten the cost in the planning stage, and the deviation in operation will be smaller. ”

When Zou Jianfeng heard it, isn't this the reason! Immediately organized capable people from top to bottom, inside and outside to analyze the thickness of the book on the topic of this "Shangshu" project, and finally concluded that compared with others, this topic is still more culturally heavy, and as the first original play of Qiao Drama Center, it is a brand plus. Since he was in charge of finance, he has been able to exercise his ability to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and immediately made a mature project fund scheduling plan.

Tang Qingyou said he was very satisfied.

Things have progressed to this point, and the big move of Qi Ao Drama Center to produce the stage play "Shangshu" is already on the bow and ready to come out, and many cultural media have reported dynamic news.

The contract has been prepared, and it will take effect with a wave of the pen and a sign from Master Liu Bai.

The day before departure, Liu Bai asked the assistant to pass over a contract request. Moreover, non-contractual terms.

Liu Bai lived in Baodao for a long time, and the contract was signed in US dollars, but at this time, his supplementary requirements were that the copyright fee should be paid in cash, and all the US dollars should be exchanged for RMB, and Party A should be brought to the signing place on behalf of the human flesh to pay the money and sign with one hand.

Tang Qingyou was blinded, and he didn't understand what was going on for a long time. In the end, Zou Jianfeng, who had a round of dealings with Master Liu, used his non-professional common sense to circle the key points for Tang Qingyou: "The problem of taxes, right?" ”

Tang Qing was silent. After a while, she told Zou Jianfeng to inform Assistant Liu Bai: "It happened suddenly, we need some time to prepare." ”

In fact, it's true that Tang Qingyou needs some time. But what she needs to prepare is not cash, but ideas.

She needs to think carefully about whether it is worth compromising for the project, which goes against her own code of conduct.

Liu Bai's sudden request made Tang Qingyou unable to eat and sleep all day, and before making a decision, she chose to report to Jiang Rui first, and her report did not contain her own decision. Just start with "what if...... then ......" as the standard of elaboration.

After listening to this, Jiang Rui expressed his understanding: "Since it is entrusted to you to operate, the specific business is naturally up to you." I won't do business coaching. Before hanging up the phone, he added: "People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed." Mr. Tang, the stage drama industry is small, and it is not a big deal. In any case, we can hold on to it. Whatever you want, you can do it. ”

Speaking of which, he is already the most righteous boss in the world. Tang Qingyou sincerely thanked him.

After thanking you, the idea is still to be taken by yourself after all.

As the direct person in charge of an organization, Tang Qingyou felt a thousand weights on his shoulders for the first time.

After another day of sleepless nights, Tang Qingyou finally made up his mind and gave Zou Jianfeng a notice: "You tell everyone, and the handover with Assistant Liu Bai is also clear, forget about this project." Let's choose another topic. ”

"Hey, don't you have to forget it?" Zou Jianfeng sighed, "What the hell do you say about this Liu Bai?" ”

Tang Qingyou was kind-hearted and corrected Zou Jianfeng: "After all, after all, we went back on our word and failed to meet the other party's cooperation requirements, you and Assistant Liu Bai remember to be polite, and try to be as tactful as possible in refusal." After all, Liu Bai is a master, and we have to respect others. ”

"Huh? Sister You, you still don't know? Zou Jianfeng tapped on the screen of his mobile phone, "Hurry up, take a look at today's cultural version of the news!" ”

Tang Qingyou's heart was full of doubts, and after flipping through the cultural news of the day, he saw the eye-catching news that a certain national performing arts institution had signed a contract with Liu Bai to cooperate in the "Shangshu" project, and his heart was blocked. In the report, Liu Bai answered questions from reporters about the highlights of the operation of the stage play project, which one was not in their plan?

This can be said to be the first heart-stopping event of the year at the Qiao Drama Center. But Tang Qingyou still had to smile and cheer up and down: "I was thinking about how to refuse Liu Bai to be appropriate, now it's okay, he took the initiative to ruin the verbal offer, and we can be regarded as retreating, which is good." ”

"It's good that the money hasn't been smashed in yet!" Zou Jianfeng said a heavy word to appease everyone: "This is more important than anything else!" ”

In the end, it was naturally Zou Jianfeng's appeasement that worked, and everyone packed up their mood and started planning for the next topic.

This time, everyone learned to be obedient, and they all asked Tang Qingyou to spend money first: "Sister You, let's set the authorization first and then plan, so as not to do useless work again!" ”

Tang Qingyou also felt sorry for everyone, and didn't want everyone's efforts to be wasted again and again, so he first presided over the topic selection meeting.

After several rounds of heated discussions and voting, among the remaining topics, the final winner was Wang Shu's music IP "To the Girl on My Bicycle".

The biggest contradiction in this topic is that the best plan for the stage play of this topic should be a musical. Can the domestic musical theater market ...... It's really exciting.

Dong Li, who has dealt with musicals the most, has the most right to speak: "This ...... It takes a lot of determination! At present, the only musicals I handle in China are basically Broadway and the classic repertoire of London's West End. Domestic original, not to mention the annihilation of the whole army, successful projects are rare. ”

Ni Huaner spoke more straightforwardly: "Sister You, Brother Dong is right, what the hell is the domestic musical market." How can you really take this risk? ”

Tang Qingyou naturally has been swaying in his heart.

When operating the "Chasing Love" project, firstly, it was an act of duty, and she did not have the actual decision-making power at the project level at that time, and secondly, it was an unspeakable "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers".

But now Tang Qingyou, who is the sole leader in the Qiao Drama Center, naturally has a broader understanding and deeper thinking about the performing arts industry and the cultural industry. "The year before last, the total box office of the domestic musical market was 240 million, and as a result, the total box office of the original "Phantom of the Opera" alone in two cities reached 120 million, and a foreign play accounted for half of the country's total annual box office." She told everyone, "It's a huge challenge to do an original musical. But from another perspective, it will also be a rare opportunity. "To the Girl on My Bicycle" is already a successful work at the musical level, and there will be a fan economy brought by Wang Shu, based on these aspects, I vote in favor of launching the musical project. ”
