The show continues.

After a short pause, Li Jun still smiled and said, "Hehe...... Mr. Dong, I invite you to come over this time, there are some things to discuss with you...... This is Director Liu Peng Liu, I think you all know each other, so let's let Director Liu report the specific situation to you first, and we'll talk about it later if there are any questions. ”

Liu Peng stood up and said to Zhou Xianjun and Xiao Yuxuan: "Old Zhou, Yu Xuan, this is Dong Wenming, the general manager of the External Relations Department of Rubik's Cube Media...... This is Hu Xiaodong's agent, Ms. Xu Rongxu. Mr. Dong and Ms. Xu, I will also introduce to you, this is Professor Zhou Xianjun of the Modu Conservatory of Music, and this is a student of Professor Zhou, called Xiao Yuxuan. ”

"Mr. Dong, hello!"

"Hello!"

After a simple exchange of greetings, Liu Peng continued: "Mr. Dong, there are two main things to communicate with you this time, one is the drama we cooperated...... The second is ......"

Dong Zong, the president of Rubik's Cube Media, listened to Liu Peng's story calmly, and when Liu Peng briefly introduced the content to be communicated, Dong Wenming pressed his full forehead, and that honest smile appeared on his face again: "Hmm...... When I was downstairs just now, Xiao Hu and Xu Rong also briefly mentioned a few words to me, combined with what Director Liu just said, I basically understood the situation...... Actually, in my opinion, these two points are the same thing in the final analysis...... However, since Director Liu said that it is two things, let's treat it as two things, let's do it one by one...... Let's start with the first thing......"

"Director Liu, the first thing you just said is that you plan to replace all the music-related parts of this show, including the ending song, interlude and soundtrack, I can understand it this way, right?"

"Yes, you are investors, we can't make unilateral decisions without reporting to you for such a big move, and there are still the minimum rules for doing things." Liu Peng nodded in affirmation.

"Huh...... Thank you Director Liu for your respect...... Since this is the case, I have three small questions, and I would like to ask Director Liu to answer them! Dong Wenming first raised three fingers, and then retracted two more," ...... What I am more concerned about about this first question is that we all know that the schedule of this drama has been set, and the offline announcement will be carried out the day after tomorrow, and it will be broadcast the night after tomorrow, is it too late for such a big action? ”

"Mr. Dong, let me synchronize our progress and next arrangements with you. At the moment, the opening song has been recorded, and the ending song is being recorded now, and it will be recorded by the afternoon or evening at the latest...... The first episode will be used in the sixth episode, that is, on the third day of the broadcast, and the other songs will be further delayed, so that we can step up the recording work step by step and will not delay the broadcast of the whole drama. ”

"Oh...... As long as the time is okay, I'm relieved. Dong Wenming nodded, and then raised two fingers, "My second question is, if all the songs, special interludes and soundtracks are replaced, then there must be many places to re-edit, so that it will not affect the quality of the whole show, right?" ”

"Mr. Dong, don't worry about this, the colleagues in the crew are very experienced, and I always keep an eye on the editing work, I dare to guarantee that after the re-editing and soundtrack, the quality of the whole drama will definitely be improved to a higher level." Liu Peng added with confidence: "Good music and excellent TV drama works can complement each other!" ”

Dong Wenming patted his big belly and laughed: "Hearing Director Liu say this, my heart will return to my stomach...... Ha ha...... It seems that we made a very wise choice to invite Director Liu to direct this drama......"

"Mr. Dong has won the award, and we also want to keep improving."

"Hmm...... Keep improving! Dong Wenming sat up straight, and the conversation changed, "Our Rubik's Cube is the investor, and the cost of replacing the music part was also said by Director Liu just now, which is 300,000 yuan...... Next, for the third question, I just want to ask Director Liu to give a reason to persuade us to spend another 300,000! ”

Liu Peng was a little confused all of a sudden, reason?

What else is needed? I've just said it, keep improving!

"Uh...... Mr. Dong, I just said that replacing the music part can improve the quality of the whole drama to a higher level, I can guarantee this! Liu Peng patted his chest and said confidently.

"Director Liu, I am willing to believe your assurance, but you may have misunderstood what I meant...... Let's put it this way, if we change the music part, it means that we have to spend money twice on the music part, and we are the investor, but why should we spend money twice on music production? The investor is not wronged, is it? ”

This sounds like a question that is not a problem, and Liu Peng doesn't know how to answer.

"Mr. Dong, here's the thing, at the beginning, we did entrust a studio to be responsible for the creation of the music part, but the effect was not very satisfactory to me, so I found Professor Zhou from the Modu Conservatory of Music, and finally this Xiao Yuxuan student re-composed the music to better present the plot effect......" Liu Peng swallowed his saliva, "Mr. Dong, I won't tell you, the quality of each of these re-created songs is not lower than that ...... of "Dang"

"What level is "When"? Is it high? Dong Wenming waved his hand, turned his head to look left and right: "Okay...... I'll assume that the level of each song is really high, and it really presents the plot better as you said, and that doesn't change the fact that we spent money twice...... According to this logic, is there a better song that we would have to spend three, four, or even more times? Why do we invest so many times when we can solve things that can be solved with one investment? Director Liu, I don't agree with your reason! ”

Liu Peng was very embarrassed, recalling what he had sworn to Zhou Xianjun and Xiao Yuxuan in the office in the morning, and his face turned red.

"Mr. Dong, when you signed the contract, you promised, as the chief director, everything related to the work can be decided by me, and the purpose of changing the music is to make the quality of the work better...... You Rubik's Cube Media, such a large group will not always be a set of things before and after the fact, right? ”

"Director Liu, don't be so excited...... Come and smoke a cigarette ......" Dong Wenming said while scattering a cigarette: "Director Liu, I didn't say I wouldn't agree to you, did I?" As long as there is a reasonable reason, you have convinced me, and I have an explanation to the company, isn't this the end of the matter? ”

Li Jun picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water, and when he put down the teacup, he deliberately used some of it, and with a "bang", Li Jun made an careless expression, smiled and opened his mouth to relieve Liu Peng:

"Mr. Dong, if you want me to say, this matter is not so complicated, this drama is your money and we are contributing, isn't the purpose of this cooperation to be a win-win situation? Lao Liu mentioned this matter of replacing the music part with me, and I also recognized it......"

Li Jun paused and continued: "Mr. Dong, everyone who does our business has a common problem, that is, when he sees good things, he wants to get them into his works. Don't you just want to make this show better? ”

"In addition, you also know that our unit has been renamed from Modu Satellite TV to Dragon TV, and the leaders in the station, including Geng Tai, are very concerned about this drama and want to get a good result...... So Lao Liu has been under a lot of pressure lately, I hope you can understand......"

"We specially invited you to come here today, just to communicate our demands to you very clearly...... Isn't cooperation about mutual understanding and support? Mr. Dong, what do you say? ”

Liu Peng was able to relax a little and cast a grateful look at Li Jun.

Dong Wenming's fingers kept tapping on the table, pondered for a moment, and coughed:

"Ahem...... As for me personally, I am very grateful to Director Liu and everyone here for their hard work, and I am very much looking forward to our drama having a good result, so that you can have an explanation to the leaders, and I can also have a good explanation to the group......"

"Since the director has said this, I, Dong Fatzi, am not a person who doesn't understand the eyes...... To put it mildly, our group is also a big business, and 300,000 yuan is really nothing......"

"So, Director, Director Liu, I agree to spend another 300,000 yuan to replace all the music......"

"However, after all, I am holding the group's job, so I have a small condition: we have to sign a supplementary agreement, and the premiere price of each episode will be adjusted to 40,000."

As soon as the words fell, Li Jun slapped the table and blurted out: "This is impossible!" ”

Liu Peng's face was also blue and purple for a while.

"Oops...... Director, aren't we communicating? Don't get so excited! Dong Wenming lowered his voice and asked, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse...... Why don't you think about it again? ”

"It's nothing to think about! If you say it's impossible, it's definitely impossible! The leadership will never agree! Li Jun turned his head and didn't bother to look at Dong Wenming.

The premiere price of each episode has risen from 35,000 to 40,000, isn't it a TV station spending money to buy songs for Rubik's Cube Media?

Keep saying that Rubik's Cube Media is not wronged, and co-authoring Magic City TV is?

Besides, it's not just a matter of money, it's also a matter of work ability and attitude!

……

Xiao Yuxuan didn't speak during the whole process, and everything was in his eyes: This Dong fat man is very difficult!

Empiricism kills people!

Who says brain fat is because of fat? It's also possible that people are hiding a lot of dry goods!

Dong Fatzi drank tea all day long, anyway, he was not in a hurry, because everyone here knew in their hearts that if they really changed the music, the most important thing was time.

Even if he fails to change the music in the end, he and the Rubik's Cube media where he works have nothing to lose, the big deal is that everything returns to the original track.

In fact, he doesn't have to be entangled here for a mere 300,000 or a price increase of 5,000 per episode premiere, and there is a risk of offending people.

Does he care about the money? Does Rubik's Cube Media care?

He and the Rubik's Cube media behind him are very clear about one thing, when wealth meets power, that wealth is the weak party.

They all value the matter of cooperating with units within the system like Modu TV.

The purpose of not giving an inch here is to express an attitude, or to send a signal, to gradually expand the dominance in this kind of cooperation.

Maybe the next collaboration will have more say? Will you be able to get more characters? Can you even get more policy tilt?

I don't know what the next time will be, but ...... At least dare to have ideas!

The first thing came to an impasse, and director Liu Peng failed to control the direction of the script at all.

Dong Fatzi wore his trademark honest smile and said unhurriedly: "Director, Director Liu, since we have not been able to reach an agreement on the replacement of the music part for the time being, let's put it on hold for the time being...... Solve the second thing first, that ...... Xu Rong, you know this matter better, Xiaohu also let you represent him with full authority, you can talk to Director Liu directly! ”

didn't get the expected result, Liu Peng was very angry, and he didn't hide his emotions, "The second thing is the copyright of the song "Dang"...... Now, he is Xiao Yuxuan, the author of the song, you can talk to him directly......"

In the morning's words, Xiao Yuxuan originally had a bad impression of Liu Peng; But at this moment, looking at Liu Peng again, I was a little unbearable and even sympathetic.

Hey, Mr. Liu is indeed not easy!

As soon as Dong Wenming's cigarette was extinguished, he began to smoke again, and he lit another cigarette himself, which seemed to be a big smoker.

"Xiao is very young, and he is still in college?"

Xiao Yuxuan didn't refuse, and took the cigarette again and lit it for himself.

At this time, he suddenly returned to the time when he was at the negotiation table at work, often smoking cigarettes, drinking tea and talking about things, arguing from time to time, and interjecting a few homely words from time to time......

"Hmm...... I'm still in graduate school. ”

"Xu Rong and Xiaohu both mentioned you to me, and they both said that you are very talented......"

"Thank you, Mr. Dong, for the compliment." Xiao Yuxuan smiled and only answered without asking, not saying much.

From the moment he entered the door, Dong Fatzi's honest smile almost never changed, he squinted slightly and looked at Xiao Yuxuan without hesitation, and Xiao Yuxuan also gave him a very sincere smile back.

Dong Fatzi asked casually: "I just said, in fact, in my opinion, we are talking about one thing today, but Director Liu Peng feels that it is two things...... Mr. Xiao, what is your opinion? ”

Xiao Yuxuan didn't understand the meaning of this question, he enjoyed Dong Fatzi's "performance" throughout the whole process, and asked rhetorically in a cautious mind: "Mr. Dong, I don't quite understand, do you have anything to say about this one thing and two things?" ”

"Oh, that's how I see it...... To say that it is essentially the same thing is to say that our main purpose is to find a balance...... Perhaps, in order to maintain a good cooperative relationship during the exchange, right, there are concessions to each other...... Even a little dissatisfied! However, in the end, on the premise of not touching the bottom line, we found such a balance and reached an agreement, then the matter was solved......"
