Chapter 707: Conditions
Zhang Shengli!
Gu Bei had heard of this name in his previous life.
That was mentioned when director Guo Baochang participated in a talk show.
In the previous life, the project "Mansion Gate" was launched, but it was not as smooth as in this life.
Guo Baochang begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, participated in various wine parties, and wanted to attract investment, but to no avail, and finally found funds, but he wanted to exchange the copyright of "Mansion Gate".
When filming finally started, within a few days of filming, the investor was about to withdraw his investment, and he also took away the copyright of "Mansion Gate".
According to Guo Baochang, at that time, it was really called the heavens and the earth.
At this time, someone recommended the script of "Mansion Gate" to Zhang Shengli, who was then the director of the CCTV TV Drama Production Center.
After Zhang Shengli watched it, he immediately overrode public opinion and made a decision to vote for this play.
Guo Baochang said that if there was no Zhang Shengli, there would be no drama "Mansion Gate".
In the past, I only heard his voice and did not see his person, but today I finally see it.
is not tall, and he doesn't look a few years older than Gu Bei.
"Mr. Gu, I've been looking up for a long time!"
Before Gu Bei could react, Zhang Shengli took the initiative to say hello.
"Deputy Director Zhang, hello, hello!"
Seeing that Zhang Shengli stretched out his hand in front of him, Gu Bei hurriedly held it.
The one in front of him will be his leader from now on.
"Xiao Zhang used to be the deputy head of the literature group, and now he is transferred to the center as the deputy director."
Ruan Ruolin introduced it with a smile.
Now this deputy director is just a little over, and when Ruan Ruolin retires next year, Zhang Shengli will take over and take over as the head of the production center.
Before Zhang Shengli came, Ruan Ruolin had already briefly introduced Gu Bei.
I, Deputy Director Zhang, am not a layman, I have published many books, and I am quite famous in the literary circle.
During his tenure as the head of the literature group, he also led the adaptation of many scripts.
The most important thing is that Zhang Shengli has an excellent impression of Gu Bei.
Getting along with people depends on the edge of the eyes, obviously, Gu Bei's impression in Zhang Shengli's eyes is good, which is a good start.
After greeting for a while, I didn't talk about business, I handled the relationship first, and I will talk about the rest later.
After staying for a while, Zhang Shengli left under the pretext of having something.
As soon as the person left, Ruan Ruolin spoke: "Cooperation, Xiao Gu, what do you think here?" ”
What else can you think?
The current sharing ratio, Gu Bei is quite satisfied, although the copyright in the mainland belongs to CCTV, but the overseas copyright, Mingqian Film and Television can be held in his hand is already very good.
The only thing that makes Gu Bei dissatisfied is the advertising fee, everyone knows that this is the real big head.
Although Gu Bei is not an employee of CCTV, he can also find out that last year, CCTV earned hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising fees alone, among which a set of prime time advertisements of CCTV sold the best.
And in this, most of the credit goes to Mingqian Pictures.
However, Mingqian Pictures can't even get a dime, which is obviously unreasonable.
Never mind!
Gu Bei knows that even if he mentions it now, there is no play, and Mingqian Pictures now does not even have the qualifications to produce independently, and if he wants to open a new film, he has to tie up CCTV and use the name of others.
"I don't have any ideas for anything else, but there's a little bit ......"
"Don't open your mouth!"
Belch......
Gu Bei smiled bitterly: "Director, I haven't said it yet, you just blocked it back for me, I know, you can't be the master of this matter, and I don't plan to mention it." ”
There is really no hurry in this matter, the local station has not yet been on the star, and CCTV, as the only TV station in China that can achieve signal coverage throughout the territory, does have the confidence to hold on to the overlord clause.
But wait and see!
There will be stars on the stage in various places, and when the time comes, some people will stand up to challenge the status of CCTV.
At that time, private production companies already have independent production rights, and CCTV is not Gu Bei's only choice.
Whoever asks for whom, it's not necessarily.
"And what do you want to say?"
"A sentence is added to the agreement, if the policy changes, Mingqian Pictures has independent production rights, and at that time, CCTV can enjoy the right of first refusal to purchase TV series produced by Mingqian Pictures."
Belch?
Ruan Ruolin didn't react for a while, carefully pondered the meaning of Gu Bei's words, and suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Bei.
"You kid is giving birth to an outside heart!"
What is the right of first refusal, that is, in the case of the same price, CCTV can obtain the right of first refusal by matching the purchase price of the broadcast rights of other TV stations.
But if other TV stations bid higher, Mingqian Pictures can naturally bypass the cooperation agreement and reach cooperation with local TV stations.
and what Gu Bei said earlier, Mingqian Pictures has independent production rights.
"Did you kid hear anything?"
Gu Bei smiled: "Director, you are better informed than me, what kind of wind is going to be put on it, can you still know?" ”
Of course, Ruan Ruolin heard the rumors, but whether this matter is true or false remains to be verified.
Unexpectedly, Gu Bei had already thought of the front.
"At the end of the day, you're still playing with the idea of advertising money."
With such a big benefit, who can not be tempted!
"I can promise you this condition, but there must also be a precondition, your company must cooperate with CCTV at least one TV series every year."
This can be regarded as a guarantee for Taili.
Today's production centers are really different from what they used to be.
Why Ruan Ruolin is willing to let Dongfang Wenying leave, is not that he hopes that Dongfang can have better development.
Staying at CCTV is basically sitting in the office.
I don't know when it began, and the center's creative ability fell directly to the bottom.
Throughout this year, the TV series broadcast were either purchased from other local stations or produced by Mingqian Pictures, and CCTV only had one name.
The era of working according to the plan made above is really over, and the future TV drama production industry may also pay attention to the market economy.
What is the right of first refusal.
To put it bluntly, isn't it the one with the highest price!
Although CCTV occupies the title of a main station, and the local stations are all subordinate units, if it is really compared with financial resources, CCTV may not be able to do more than some major economic provinces.
Therefore, Ruan Ruolin put forward this condition, hoping that CCTV will not lag behind others in the future competition in the TV industry.
Ruan Ruolin is still very optimistic about Gu Bei's ability.
In fact, if Gu Bei didn't leave CCTV, Ruan Ruolin would have thought of letting Gu Bei take over.
It's just, it's a pity!
A verbal agreement was reached, and as for how far the relationship between the two sides will develop in the future, it depends on Zhang Shengli.
In the next period of time, due to the approaching Spring Festival, the preparatory team of "Water Margin" was also temporarily disbanded, and it will be reconcentrated in March next year.
Gu Bei temporarily unloaded this errand, and it was also a lot easier.
I go to Sohu every day, and the development progress of the search function is going well, and according to Zhang Chaoyang's plan, it will be officially launched next year.
On the side of Mingqian Films, they have also begun to prepare for the release of three movies, and with Wang Jinghua in charge, there is no need for Gu Bei to worry about it.
On the twenty-sixth of the lunar month, "Endless" premiered.
After a series of publicity in the early stage, Feng Pants also took the main creator of the film to take turns to conduct roadshows in major cities, and the popularity of this movie has been praised.
The success of "Party A and Party B" has also made many viewers have a lot of expectations for Feng Pants' new work.
The overall environment of the film industry is declining, there are few new films throughout the year, and now there is a movie that can remind God, and the audience is happy to hold it.
On the day of the premiere, it was rare for the major movie theaters in Beijing to be full, and in normal times, half of the tickets for a movie could be sold.
Gu Bei didn't go to the cinema, but sat in the company with Wang Jinghua and Feng Pants, and everyone else was sprinkled out through the feedback.
"It's okay, I didn't pull my crotch on the first day!"
Hearing Gu Bei's words, Feng Pants also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm picking up a bargain!"
"Endless" is highly similar to "Party A and Party B" in terms of style, and since "Party A and Party B" can receive a high box office, "Endless" will naturally not be much worse.
Feng pants said that it was cheap, which is probably what it meant.
No matter what the background of Feng's comedy is, no matter what the story is, no matter what the characters are, these movies have one thing in common, that is, the poverty of the people in Beijing, this kind of poverty is not only poor, but also in the way of life and behavior.
In the previous life, in Feng Pants's early works, almost all movies had a sense of ridicule, self-ridicule, and self-irony.
In the movie theater, the audience laughed constantly, especially seeing Han Dong and Xiao Yun come up with various bad tricks in order to retaliate against Ruan Dawei, ordering a lot of raw seafood for a while, pedicure and massage for a while, and finally even the mental hospital came, and Ruan Dawei was knocked down with an electric baton.
Mentally and physically, Nguyen Dawei was doubly tortured.
knows that Ruan Dawei loves money the most, so punish him from the root.
At the end of the laugh, he was moved again, the reason why Han Dong chased Ruan Dawei for money was because he also had a vegetative sister.
The moment this plot unfolded, the atmosphere in the cinema immediately changed.
It used to be laughter, but now it's laughter with tears.
Just like the middle-aged couple in "Party A and Party B" before, who longed to have a home.
Another major feature of Feng's comedy is that it laughs to the end, giving the audience a heavy blow, and madly stimulating people's tears.
In one night, three screenings in a row.
This treatment used to only be enjoyed by movies with the main theme of "Country".
Now it has given a comedy movie with an earthy flavor.
Judging from the box office data, this treatment is not a loss at all.
Three days after its release, the national box office data of "Endless" successfully exceeded 10 million, surpassing "Party A and Party B", which seems to be very hopeful.
"If I am kidnapped, will you feel sorry for the money and not save me?"
Gu Bei and Chen Xiaoxu went to the cinema on the third day of the release, and on the way home after watching it, Chen Xiaoxu suddenly asked without a head.
"I'm not going to put you in any danger."
Gu Bei's response was particularly fast and completely seamless.
Seeing Chen Xiaoxu smile, Gu Bei knew that he had passed another level.
Looking at the snowflakes falling outside the car window again, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard from time to time, it has been another year.
