Chapter 541: In the Name of the People
Jingcheng TV, General Meeting of Shareholders.
Generally speaking, many TV dramas, the director and other senior management of the TV station can decide, and there is no need to hold a shareholders' meeting to discuss it specifically.
However, the other executives of Gao Lin's TV drama TV station disagreed, feeling that the introduction of the TV station did not improve the ratings of the TV station, and because of the theme of the TV series, they also stayed away and did not dare to take risks.
The top management disagreed, and Li Ming wanted to buy it again, so he could only propose it at the shareholders' meeting.
As long as the shareholders are willing, even if the top management of the TV station does not agree, there is no way.
After discussing the affairs of other TV stations, Li Ming told the story of Gaolin's TV series.
"Recently, Gao Lin made a TV series, called "In the Name of the People", which is an anti-corruption TV series, I think the pie is good, I want to buy it, one episode of the TV series is 4 million, 55 episodes, 220 million."
Speaking of which, when Li Ming wanted to tell him the details of the TV series, a shareholder suddenly interrupted him and said: "4 million for an episode is already a very high price, and he still has 55 episodes, which is too much to make money, if it can be compressed to 40 episodes, it can still be considered, of course, I just said that it can also be considered." ”
This shareholder has a fat head and big ears, and he expressed his views and attitudes without listening to Li Ming's words, he thinks the price is high, and 220 million for a TV series is indeed too high.
And listening to what he meant, if they couldn't compress the series to 40 episodes, then they wouldn't buy it.
It's a game between the TV station and the director.
For the sake of money, directors like to make TV series longer, so that if they sell according to the number of episodes, it will be more profitable, and TV stations actually like to be long, the longer the TV series, the more profitable they will be, of course, the premise is that the TV series is very good.
However, when buying, the TV station doesn't want the TV series to be too long.
After the shareholder finished speaking, the other shareholders just showed a shallow smile, and did not rush to express their position, Li Ming did not give up, and continued to fight: "The TV series is very good, 55 episodes is not much, and the price is indeed a little higher, but I am sure that the ratings of this TV series will definitely be very good, and the profits brought to the TV station will definitely be considerable." ”
Li Ming said this, and another shareholder spoke again.
"The theme of anti-corruption is too sensitive, and it is easy to be affected by some things in the process of broadcasting, and we in Huaxia have not broadcast anti-corruption dramas before, but the ratings are very ordinary, so this Gaolin lion opened his mouth and inevitably regarded us all as fools."
This shareholder is relatively a little thin, and he is not in favor of buying the copyright at such a high price.
The two shareholders disagreed, and Li Ming faintly felt that something was wrong.
At this time, the largest shareholders stepped forward.
"Our Beijing TV station, in fact, still likes this kind of drama very much, it is very educational, but we also have to consider it for the interests of the TV station, 55 episodes are no problem, but I hope he will reduce the price of each episode a little more, if the total price does not exceed 180 million, the TV station can consider it."
The largest shareholder has already made concessions, in his opinion, this price, that Gao Lin should be satisfied, a TV series has such a high price, can it be done if you are not satisfied?
And he knows the rules of this industry, at the beginning, the price should be high, and then slowly talk, after it is lowered, it is naturally the price he wanted from the beginning.
It's just that after this shareholder finished speaking, Li Ming was speechless and smiled bitterly.
Gao Lin has already said that the price of 220 million is already his bottom line, and if it is lower than this price, there is nothing to talk about.
Li Ming said: "I understand this, but I'm afraid Gao Lin won't agree." ”
When these words were spoken, several shareholders were not happy.
"If you don't agree, then don't come to our Beijing TV station, being able to buy such a drama has already given him face, what else is he doing?"
Li Ming was a little unhappy when he heard these shareholders say such things, these shareholders simply had no vision at all, which was really embarrassing.
Li Ming has always felt a little suppressed on the TV station, and at this time, he was also a little unhappy when he saw that he couldn't win the due benefits for the TV series he fancied, and said: "This TV series is very good, I think I must be on our TV station, otherwise, I choose to resign." ”
Li Ming wants to threaten these shareholders with resignation, he, the director, still has some bargaining chips, after all, from the time he became the director to the present, he has made a lot of money for the TV station, without him, the TV station can make so much money, can these shareholders sit and share the money?
However, he thinks too highly of himself, and these shareholders are rich people and never like to be threatened.
"If you want to resign, you can resign, no one will stop you."
"It's just, do you really take yourself seriously?"
These shareholders, each of them has some high-level TV station executives, and they all want their people to take the position, and they want Li Ming to leave quickly, so Li Ming proposed to resign, and he is falling into his arms.
The words of several shareholders were not very good, and Li Ming was angry and left immediately.
The news of Li Ming's resignation quickly spread in the circle, and some news reports about it also spread on the Internet.
Some people even took this opportunity to sort out some factional disputes on Beijing TV, which made people enjoy watching it, like a harem battle scene.
At the same time, many people also began to speculate about Li Ming's whereabouts, as a well-known director in the circle, his ability is very good, so if he is willing, he will not worry about leaving home.
So as soon as the news came out, many TV stations immediately threw an olive branch to Li Ming.
Song Xiaoqing got the news very early.
She had contact with Li Ming, and she knew each other, and when she heard that Li Ming had resigned from Beijing TV, and their Star Entertainment TV happened to need a director, he hurriedly told Tang Mu about the situation.
"Mr. Tang, this is really a good opportunity, Li Ming's ability is one of the few in the industry, and he also has vision, if he can bring in Xingyu TV, he will definitely be able to support Xingyu TV."
Tang Mu also has some good feelings about Li Ming, after all, if it weren't for Li Ming, it would not have been possible to record "Ding Throat Choking" smoothly.
This person has some principles of his own in doing things.
"This Li Ming can be pulled, you make an appointment with him immediately, be fast, this matter can't be delayed."
Li Ming is really a talent, since he has decided, he must act quickly, otherwise he will be co-opted by other TV stations, which will not be good.
Good talents are always not short of platforms, Li Ming is like this, his qualifications, ability, and his connections are enough to bring considerable benefits to a TV station, Tang Mu They can see it, and other TV stations can naturally see it.
So, be quick.
