Chapter 380: The Masked Singer's Knockout Tournament is broadcast
Congzhu didn't expect that Song Ideal finally chose kiwifruit. In fact, she can also think that the price and sharing conditions of kiwifruit are estimated to be affordable on several other platforms.
What's more important is that the relationship between Station G and Tongji Entertainment is not ordinary. So after not receiving the news of the signing that day, she had already given up.
Of course, winning the copyright of "Bright Sword" is also a happy thing for her. The only thing that is a little uncomfortable is that because of the leakage of the news, the cost they paid this time has greatly increased.
In the previous budget, the copyright fee of 300 million was already the price of the sky. Now it has taken in 20% of the advertising and membership fee sharing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bloody cost.
Kiwi has also been around for quite a long time, and it hasn't paid such a high price for the copyright of a show.
......
"Mr. Chi, do we have to continue to wait?" In the capital, Chi Jiang, who also hadn't gone back yet, was also in a bad mood when he heard his assistant's words at this time.
"If nothing else, Song Ideal should have chosen to cooperate with Kiwifruit." Chi Jiang sighed helplessly.
Potato videos don't have that much money, it's obviously impossible. As for the penguins, they are not willing to promise to give a share contract to the show, and there has been no such precedent before.
If you rely on copyright fees alone, there will definitely be no way to compete with Station G and Kiwifruit. And now that he didn't receive a call from Song Ideal, naturally all that was left was kiwifruit.
"It stands to reason that the conditions they can give kiwifruit can't be much better than mine." Chi Jiang also felt a little strange, no matter how you look at Station G, it has a great advantage this time.
As a result, he still failed to fight for the Strange Country. In the past, it was because of the lack of budget that I often couldn't grab the three major platforms.
How can I get rich now, it's still the same result.
"Mr. Chi, isn't this drama Tongji Entertainment also participating in the investment?"
"Shall we go and talk to Xu Ji?" The assistant spoke. Chi Jiang was stunned for a moment, but then shook his head.
"The reason why Tongji Entertainment only invests, but it doesn't participate much in the filming and production of the drama, is that it doesn't want to spend too much energy."
"The main decision of this drama is probably still in the hands of Song Ideal, so don't waste this effort." said so, but in fact, there were still some speculations in Chi Jiang's heart at this time.
They have also cooperated with Tongji Entertainment for a year or two. Although it is said that the main person in charge of this "Bright Sword" this time is the director Song Ideal and his company.
But he didn't believe that Tongji Entertainment and Xu Ji's place in it was not important. In the matter of choosing a platform, if Tongji Entertainment does not agree, then it should be impossible for Song Ideal to make a decision by himself.
Unless Song Ideal doesn't want to cooperate with Tongji Entertainment anymore in the future, he doesn't want to get Xu Ji's script anymore.
In this way, it seems that not to choose Station G and to choose kiwifruit, which is also acquiesced by Tongji Entertainment.
Chi Jiang also felt that Tongji Entertainment was indeed deliberately avoiding them in this matter.
When such a thing happened, Chi Jiang could only be a little helpless. After all, Station G has indeed taken a lot of advantage in the cooperation with Tongji Entertainment.
Otherwise, it would not have gradually caught up with the three major video platforms in just one or two years, and competed with them at the same time.
The senior management of Station G actually has some opinions. Mainly because of the contract signed at the beginning, Station G wants to get the exclusive copyright of Tongji Entertainment, and the price paid is quite large.
There is no risk in every drama Tongji Entertainment. Even if it is not popular, it will not lose money, and the risk is all on the side of Station G.
Together with the membership fee and advertising share given, it is a considerable amount of money. So many people are actually a little reluctant, and at the same time have the idea of changing the contract.
Chi Jiang was also a little helpless, of course he knew that the reason why the number of members of Station G could increase so fast now was because of Tongji Entertainment.
But the high-level side didn't have such an idea, and still felt that Station G should not sign such a contract so quietly.
This time, the copyright of "Bright Sword" is very likely to be Tongji Entertainment beating them. Of course, Chi Jiang himself is just guessing.
Although it was a pity, Chi Jiang felt that it was okay. lest some high-level executives of station G have crooked thoughts.
If the contract is really changed, it is equivalent to driving Tongji Entertainment out. At that time, it may not have much impact on Tongji Entertainment, but it will be miserable on the side of Station G.
If he could, Chi Jiang would have been leading the cooperation with Tongji Entertainment to continue. The period of the first signing period is three years, that is, next year, the cooperation between the two sides will expire.
At that time, if the high-level side is unwilling to come up with the corresponding conditions, no matter how powerful Chi Jiang is, he will not feel that he can persuade Tongji Entertainment to continue to cooperate with them.
The most important thing is that these paid members of Station G are actually going to these dramas filmed by Xu Ji.
However, Tongji Entertainment left, and the new drama is no longer broadcast on Station G, so it is estimated that it will not be far from Station G being beaten back to its original form.
....... At the same time, not long after returning to the company from Zhu, Hu Lei came to the door.
Now Hu Lei has almost been completely hollowed out, and the actual control of the entire company is in the hands of the vice president of Congzhu.
I don't know why, it's obviously like this, but the board of directors still has no intention of replacing Hu Lei from the position of president.
"From the vice president, I heard that you spent 300 million copyright fees to buy a drama?"
"You also promise that the follow-up membership fee will be divided into two percent?"
"You also unconditionally pre-purchased the copyright of Song Ideal's three dramas in advance?"
"What the hell are you doing? I didn't even know about such a contract in advance. ”
"And isn't such a treaty just sending money to the other party?" As soon as he entered Congzhu's office, Hu Lei directly came to question three times.
However, Congzhu didn't pay attention to the other party's plans, and only raised his head after reading the documents in his hand in an orderly manner.
"Questions?"
"I should be solely responsible for this work."
"If you have any opinions, Mr. Hu, you can go to the board of directors to reflect them." In the past, Hu Lei was favored by the board of directors, and one person adopted dictatorial management of the entire kiwifruit.
But now, Hu Lei, a president who has been completely hollowed out, is naturally not afraid of the other party.
"Of course I'll report it to the board."
"I'm sure they won't want you to do that."
"This has seriously damaged the interests of the company." After Hu Lei finished speaking angrily, he turned around and left directly.
"Congzhu, are you alright?" The assistant couldn't help but ask. From the bamboo is the expression unchanged.
"Let him go."
"He just wants to take advantage of this opportunity to regain management."
"I still know this little bit of caution."
"Don't bother with it, what we need now is to plan the publicity and distribution of "Bright Sword" well." ...... In Rongcheng, Xu Ji had just come back from recording the latest episode of "The Masked Singer", and at this time he followed up to record Tongji Entertainment's own program "Xu Ji Concert".
Next, Xu Ji didn't care about other things, but started the filming of the remaining scenes of "Operation Red Sea".
At the same time, the official micro-special of "The Masked Singer", which has not moved for several months, finally sent a new news.
It was announced that the latest episode of the program would air soon. Many viewers have actually forgotten that there is such a show.
However, while announcing the broadcast of the new program, the popularity is still high. directly rushed to the first place in Weite's hot search.
"Damn, the director still remembers this show?"
"After waiting for so long, a new episode is finally going to be broadcast!"
"Can this show be filmed, why is the interval between each episode getting longer and longer?"
"I've almost forgotten that at this pace, I don't know when I'll know the true identity of the Facelings." ...... Obviously, many people don't expect it at all.
This show, which has been without news, will suddenly announce that a new episode will be broadcast again. At the same time, the audience obviously has a lot of opinions about the show that has dragged on for so long.
But it didn't take long for the preview of the show to arouse the audience's interest again. Starting from this episode, "The Masked Singer" officially entered the knockout stage.
In other words, there will be no new fill-in singers in the future. It's getting closer and closer to the time when the Facelings will be unmasked.
This is naturally great news for netizens. The true identity of the Facelings has been guessed by everyone since the first episode of the show.
As a result, there is still no obvious candidate. Xiong Lu has insisted from the beginning that the Faceling is Xu Ji.
But after the last special session of Huaxia Style, he also began to doubt his own judgment. At this time, Xiong Lu was also tired, and he didn't bother to guess what he had.
Anyway, according to the follow-up process announced by the show, there should be a few more episodes at most, and the true identities of all the contestants will be revealed.
....... After a few days of promotion, the show "The Masked Singer" finally aired as scheduled over the weekend.
"Front row!"
"It's finally here!"
"I feel like it's still cool to be able to hear the new songs of Facelings and Xu Ji in this episode."
"I always feel that in the end, if in the finals, will it be Yu Feifei against the Faceling, wouldn't that be equivalent to Xu Ji and the Faceling competing for the top?" ...... Obviously, for most audiences, the biggest attraction of this show now is the competition between Xu Ji and the masked man, two genius songwriters.
Although Xu Ji did not come to participate in the show, it is no secret that the real identity of Miss Rabbit, the contestant in it, is Yu Feifei.
And Yu Feifei is now an artist of Tongji Entertainment, and when he comes to participate in the show, it is very likely that he will still sing the original songs written by Xu Ji for him in this issue.
In addition, some of the other contestants were naturally not so concerned under the aura of Xu Ji and the Facelings.
"Welcome to our "Masked Singer" show."
"From this episode onwards, our show will enter the final knockout stage."
"The final winner will be decided between the six singers in this issue!" ...... With the appearance of the host, the program at this time also began to introduce the current contestants.
The first is this episode, and it is also the last fill-in singer of "The Masked Singer", a male singer robot with a cartoon robot mask.
The second appearance is the fill-in singer from the last issue, relying on an original Chinese-style new song, which successfully made the audience remember, but couldn't guess the name of the singer graffiti.
followed by Wu Xiaomin, who had the worst reputation on the show and had been scolded for being an imhuman in the previous episodes. Although he was wearing a mask at this time, his identity was basically no secret, and he had already been exposed by the audience.
When Wu Xiaomin appeared, many clown icons floated in the barrage. Since the last episode of the show, Wu Xiaomin has become the target of ridicule from many people.
Of course, in fact, the reason why he is so hated is not only because of his arrogant personality, but also because of his brainless fans who swipe the screen everywhere.
The fourth is the Redeemer, who was also a contestant in the first episode of the show, and like the Faceling, no one can still guess his true identity.
The fifth is Yu Feifei, originally Yu Feifei's popularity and popularity were not too high, and it was only at the level of the second line.
But since she joined Tongji Entertainment, with the blessing of several songs by Xu Ji, she also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, and now she has successfully become a first-line singer.
In terms of popularity and popularity, compared with a few months ago, it is not at all the same magnitude.
It can be seen from the bunch of fan support that appeared in the barrage at this time. Of course, the first five players combined are not as good as the last Faceling.
As soon as the Facelings with slightly weird masks appeared, the barrage of the show suddenly increased by an unknown number of times.
Relying on this show alone, the fans of Facelings on Weite directly exceeded 10 million, and such an achievement is also unique in the history of the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
After each contestant appeared, the show officially began to introduce the rules of the knockout round at this time. As before, the only difference is that this time it is a two-player battle.
"Six players, the right to choose the opponent by lot."
"In the end, two by two, become opponents."
"The voting rule is still 100 media judges."
"After all three groups of players perform, the person with the highest net score will advance directly, and the person with the lowest score will be eliminated directly."
"And the remaining four are in the finals to be determined." ...... The audience listened to the rules this time, and also found that the rules this time are obviously much more complicated than before.
In addition to the strength of the singer himself and the number of votes he gets, the opponent is very important.
If the strength of both sides is very strong, it is not easy to get a direct promotion place. The greater the difference in strength between the two singers in the battle, the final net win is likely to be the largest.
To sum up, in fact, the lottery determines the right of first choice, so that the final elimination and direct promotion of the people become uncertain.
......
