234, The Voice of China
Liu Guoping was embarrassed.
He immediately corrected:
"Well, let me explain."
"I didn't do this program planning case. I got it from an expert in this field, who has achieved great results in many fields, and has also shined on TV shows. ”
Everyone: No wonder~
If it was really made by our director, could he only come up with it now?
Apparently not.
With Director Liu's temper, he must have taken it out early to discuss, how could he get it today? The three sets of the main station are used as literary channels, and they have been rubbed on the ground by local satellite TV in the past two years.
"Director, since you started this, then I will also express my opinion."
"Like producer Xiao Zhang, I think this show can be done."
"The reason, in addition to these gimmicks that everyone can see, there is also a very important point, that is, I think this music variety show is a real music program. Relying on listening to talents, rather than relying on popularity, packaging, and sensationalism, this ensures the purity of the music, and it will definitely become a clear stream when it is put into the market! ”
"I thought I could give it a try."
"It's a good show."
"Has the budget been roughly calculated?"
"Is there a shortlist for the four mentors?"
Everyone spoke one after another and opened the conversation.
At the end of the conversation, we all started to talk about some specific details.
However, everyone's opinions are surprisingly unanimous, and they all think that this sound synthesis can be done. This is something that Liu Guoping did not think about, he originally thought that even if most people agreed, there would definitely be opposition.
Well, now there is not a single discordant voice.
When everyone had said the same, Liu Guoping said:
"Today, it's just a preliminary meeting."
"Since everyone thinks that this can be done, then I will contact the author of this plan and talk to him about cooperation in detail. As for the specific program preparations, wait for my news. ”
"By the way, Xiao Zhou, you can look for the staff of the program team first, and the approval of the funds will also be prepared simultaneously."
"Once my side is sure to start, the show has to be up and running as fast as possible!"
The rest of the people were all a little excited: "Received~"
The anger I have received in the past two years may be able to make a good show with this show.
Let those local satellite TV take a look, what is a real music variety show!
Liu Guoping is the person in charge of Channel 3, and what he decides is basically a decision. However, for the birth of a new show, it is still necessary to report to the station, and apply for some funding by the way.
The next afternoon, he asked Xu Yi to come to Taili to discuss cooperation matters in detail.
According to Liu Guoping's meaning, Xu Yi is a musician himself, and in last year's rookie charting season, he was in the limelight. The best male singer of the year and the best female singer of the year, all the songs sung are from Xu Yi, and Xu Yi himself won the Best Newcomer of the Year award for the first time.
This incident caused quite a stir in the circle and on the Internet at that time.
Therefore, if there is a seat for Xu Yi among the four major mentors, it is not impossible.
As for the other three mentors, they can be found from the famous singers.
Xu Yi walked into Liu Guoping's office on time according to the agreed time.
"Come on, Xiao Xu, sit."
Liu Guoping made tea and was enthusiastic: "I'm sorry, I'll let you run again." The main thing is to push this matter forward quickly, what about your program planning case, I took it and held an internal filing meeting. ”
"All the staff of Channel 3 voted unanimously to approve it."
"So, this music variety show, we must be doing. I just don't know Xiao Xu on your side, what are the conditions? ”
Xu Yi had already guessed this result.
As long as you are not stupid, you can discover the potential explosive elements of this audio series. The three sets of the main station have not held back a fart for two years, and now there is such a God-given opportunity, can he Liu Guoping give up with his eyes?
Obviously impossible.
Xu Yi thought about it and first threw out his biggest request:
"Director Liu, the program can be given to you."
"But I have to keep the copyright of this show in my own hands."
"How is this possible?" Liu Guoping blurted out subconsciously, then realized the tone problem, and immediately eased up a little, and said: "Xiao Xu, you should know that the copyright of the programs produced by the main station must be in the hands of the main station." ”
After a pause, he continued:
"We can buy the rights from you, as much as you want."
Xu Yi did not back down, but said: "Director Liu, I must hold the copyright of the program in my own hands." However, I can promise that the copyright of this program recorded by the main station belongs to the main station. But the total copyright of The Voice, I will not give away. ”
As soon as the negotiations began, there was some impasse.
Liu Guoping didn't know why Xu Yi was so tough, he had to be so persistent in a copyright matter. How much is copyright worth? The main station spent money to buy it, why does it sound like it's still unwilling to sell?
"Xiao Xu, is there any room for this matter to turn around?"
"You see if this will work, you quote a little higher, and I will fight for you when the time comes. It's just that the copyright must be sold to the main station along with the program. Otherwise, the general station will buy a program idea, and the business will not be worth it. ”
In case you change hands and sell to local satellite TV, then several TV stations will fight, and the programs will be the same, then this matter will not be of much significance.
Liu Guoping is worried about this.
But what Xu Yi thinks about is how to harvest the wool of capitalism after the show becomes popular.
"Director Liu, this is my bottom line."
"If that's the case, I'm afraid this show won't be able to continue." Liu Guoping was also very embarrassed, just after the internal discussion meeting, everyone unanimously felt that this thing could be done. As a result, I was stuck on the point of copyright, and I was a little unwilling to think about it.
Seeing this, Xu Yi thought slightly.
Then try to suggest:
"Director Liu, are you worried that after I sell it to you, I will sell the idea of this program to local satellite TV?"
Liu Guoping didn't hide it, anyway, the talks were about to collapse, so he simply had a showdown:
"I do have that concern."
"To be honest, if the main station wants to create a program, the process must be slower than that of local satellite TV. Once you sell two or even three, then local satellite TV will definitely launch this type of audio comprehensive first, and then we will have no first-mover advantage, and we will be a laggard again. ”
Xu Yi nodded, Liu Guoping's worries were not unreasonable.
In business, is it possible for Xu Yi to do this? Of course.
Commercial behavior cannot be simply defined by a gentleman and villain, so it is necessary to have a contract with clear terms as a constraint.
"Otherwise."
"Director Liu, regarding the copyright of the program, I can transfer all the domestic copyrights to the main station. But the overseas copyright of the show must remain in my hands. In this case, you will have no worries, and everyone will be happy. ”
Liu Guoping was stunned: "Overseas copyright? ”
These four words made him a little unturned.
After all, how can such a variety show involve overseas copyright?
Over the years, I have only heard of buying some film copyrights from overseas and then coming back to remake them, but I have never heard of any domestic copyrights for films, television or programs, which are favored by overseas.
This kid wants to hold the overseas copyright in his hands, is he so confident in this show?
However, these are not things that Liu Guoping needs to consider, he quickly thought about it, there is nothing wrong with leaving overseas copyright to Xu Yi, at least the main station is in this area, and there are no very strict requirements.
"Okay, then do what you said."
"You go back and make a list of expenses, and after we confirm that it is correct, we will immediately arrange the payment."
Once the big frame is determined, these small details, on the contrary, do not take much time.
Liu Guoping's style of doing things is that in the early discussion stage, he can be as detailed as he can; Once implemented, it will be vigorous and non-stop.
"One more thing."
"Xiao Xu, I want to ask you to be one of the four mentors of the show, I don't know if you have this interest?"
"Huh?" Xu Yi was a little surprised, he wrote very clearly in the planning case, it is best to invite those professional singers who have been famous for a long time, the kind with high national popularity. In terms of Xu Yi's current popularity, there is not much of a problem. But after all, he debuted for a short time and did not have many representative works, so being a mentor is a bit choking from a comprehensive point of view. "Director Liu, I'm not suitable, right?"
Liu Guoping said: "I think you are quite suitable." ”
"Listen to me, Director Liu." Xu Yi said bitterly, "It stands to reason that being able to serve as a mentor and earn some appearance fees is still an opportunity for me to increase exposure." However, in terms of the publicity effect of the show, I think it is better to invite a few singers who have more singing works. ”
This is a word of conscience.
For the sake of the show, Xu Yi pushed down this opportunity to make money.
When Liu Guoping heard this, he thought about Xu Yi's words for a while, and then said, "It's okay, but it's ...... Xiao Xu, since you don't want to be a mentor, I think of asking you to be the production consultant of this show, are you willing? ”
Production consultant?
The power of the producer, and the power of the consultant, both heaven and earth.
What is this production consultant?
Xu Yi didn't understand the responsibilities of this position for a while, so he asked:
"Director Liu, what is this production consultant mainly for?"
"I'm not in charge of specific program matters, but at the beginning of the program, after the broadcast, you have to work with us to review the whole process. Of course, if there is something more brilliant, you can also bring it up. Liu Guoping has learned from the experience of "If National Treasures Could Talk".
According to Fu Yourong, with Xu Yi as a consultant, the excitement of this documentary has increased by 80%!
Otherwise, the "If National Treasures Could Talk" that everyone sees is afraid that it is only 20% of the current excitement.
Whether this is an exaggeration or not, even if Fu Yourong wants to lift Xu Yi, even if this proportion is compressed to 50%, it will be terrible! One person can make a show so exciting and good-looking, then this person must strive for it.
When Xu Yi heard this, he probably had a bottom in his heart.
This time, he didn't refuse, "Yes, I can be the production consultant." ”
Liu Guoping stretched out his hand and warmly shook hands with Xu Yi.
"I hope we have a good time working together!"
"Happy cooperation~"
Counting, this is the second cooperation between Xu Yi and the main station. With the successful case of "If National Treasures Could Talk" in front, if "The Voice of China" is added, then Xu Yi will not only be in the main station, but also in the industry.
Gold Medal Program Planner!
When the time comes, maybe the major local satellite TV will also hear the wind and find themselves.
It's a pity that Xu Yi doesn't have his own TV station, otherwise, the variety shows in his mind would have landed in a steady stream.
After coming back.
Xu Yi directly told Fat Orange the result of the negotiation at the main station, and asked Fat Orange to follow up on the follow-up matters.
Fat Orange: "No, boss, did you really do it?" ”
That's a music variety show, the Red Sea of Death!
Xu Yi smiled and nodded:
"With me making a move, how could it not be done?"
"Don't worry about signing the contract, this show will definitely be popular. Maybe there will be a few new musicians. ”
When Fat Tang heard this, his admiration for Xu Yi was overflowing: "Boss, you are so powerful, how do you say your brain grows?" The first two years were like an elm pimple, and for more than a year, it seems that he has opened up the second vein of Ren Du and opened up. ”
Ahem...... Worship is worship, but not much.
Even in the first two years, I didn't have elm pimples, did I?
Fat Tangerine took the file, looked at it, and muttered:
"The Voice of China? Is this the name of the show? ”
"Yes."
"The name looks mediocre...... "Fat orange is always so honest in front of Xu Yi." But since the boss, you can even fool in with the people from the main station, which means that the show must be fine. I'll go to draft the list first, by the way, boss, how much is the right price for royalties? ”
Xu Yi didn't know much about this, so he said:
"You refer to the copyright fees of other audio variety programs in the same period, and you can do it in this range."
Because the overseas copyright is retained in Xu Yi's hands, Xu Yi doesn't want to report the copyright fee of this piece higher. Everyone cooperates for the first time, and only after a win-win situation can there be a chance for the next cooperation. When the time comes, what I am a singer and what masked singer may not be able to move to the stage of the main stage.
Fat Orange went to prepare for the docking.
Day 2.
Zheng Tao, Liu Bo and Guan Yun arrived in the capital and stayed in Xu Yi's courtyard.
It was the first time for the three of them to come to this yard, and it was inevitable that it would be another commercial tout, saying that their boss was a cow and the like, Xu Yi didn't interrupt, didn't he buy this yard just to sneer in front of his friends?
When everyone calmed down from the shock and toution, Xu Yicai said:
"Welcome Brother Tao!"
"Welcome Bogo!"
"Welcome Brother Yun!"
"The three of them will live here first, and then I will have to trouble a few older brothers for the recording of my album. I'm currently the only singer in our studio, but you don't have to worry, there will be a second and third ...... soon" (end of this chapter)
