284. When it comes to cooperation, we have to be steady
Chapter 286: When it comes to cooperation, you have to be steady
Xu Yi is very familiar with the magic capital.
But he is not familiar with Modu Tomato TV. Even though he worked for Yixiu Media before, Xu Yi did not come to Tomato to participate in the recording of the program.
Xu Yi at that time was a little transparent in the entertainment industry.
There are no artists!
However, after nearly two years, this time I came back, and I was quite proud to return to my hometown.
Yan Zhongwen waited downstairs at the TV station early, along with the other two producers of Tomato Channel. For them, no matter how talented and capable Xu Yi is, as long as he is not from his superiors, it is not worth coming to the moment.
These are two systems.
According to the appointed time, Xu Yi appeared downstairs of the TV station on time at about 11 o'clock in the morning.
Yan Zhongwen saw Xu Yi from afar, and immediately shouted and greeted:
"Xu Yi!"
"Welcome, welcome, you can come to our tomato station in person, it's really brilliant! Come on, come on, let me introduce you to it. ”
"This is Zhu Xu, this is Liu Ziyuan, both of them are producers of our Tomato Channel."
"Everyone is very happy to hear that you are coming."
"There are still a lot of colleagues who were going to come down to greet them, but after all, this is a place to work, and people come and go, so I'm afraid that it won't affect well, so just let them all wait upstairs, let's ...... Just go up, right? ”
Xu Yi shook hands with Zhu Xu and Liu Ziyuan one by one.
Only then did Yan Zhongwen finish speaking, and responded with a smile:
"You're welcome, Director Yan, you're so polite."
"I've worked in the magic capital for several years, and this is half of my hometown."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yan Zhongwen took Xu Yi's words, "You belong to go home, just be casual when you go home." Let's go, let's go up, I'll take you on a tour of the TV station. ”
Yan Zhongwen was very enthusiastic.
When I saw Xu Yi, I was even happier than seeing the director!
Xu Yi was able to come to the magic capital from the capital in person, which shows that among the many TV stations, he only chose Tomato TV as the object of cooperation negotiation.
This is a crucial step.
As long as the negotiation is good, Yan Zhongwen believes that Xu Yi will definitely have goods in his stomach!
When the time comes, it will be a matter of course to create a hit show on Tomato Channel.
"Here, here's our variety channel."
"Tomato is a local satellite TV, unlike the main station, where each channel is accounted for independently. However, our variety channel is also very strong, and the response to the previous programs has been good. ”
Xu Yi smiled and nodded.
He knows that even the music talent show for boys and girls is still far from good voices. However, before the appearance of The Voice, Tomato Channel's music variety show was also popular.
"This way."
Yan Zhongwen is like a parent, and he has to introduce Xu Yi to every place.
It seems that Xu Yi joined the company today, and he, the old man in the station, is introducing the office environment to the newcomers.
"This is the Department of Information, and half of the seriousness in the station is here. You can tell from the way they wear that they have a serious upper body, but a lively lower body. ”
Xu Yi looked over, and sure enough, he found that there were several news hosts, wearing suits on the top and jeans on the bottom. As you can imagine, if it's summer, it will definitely be shorts underneath.
He echoed and smiled:
"Yes, the atmosphere is very good."
In the next trip, Yan Zhongwen took Xu Yi to visit the staff activity room, even the canteen, and so on, and also took Xu Yi through.
In the end, Xu Yi was led to his office.
"Come, sit."
"Try my latest tea, by the way, you're drinking tea, right? Or drink milk tea? You young people generally like to drink milk tea, right? ”
Xu Yi hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'll just drink tea." ”
Yan Zhongwen made the tea, and then handed it to Xu Yi.
immediately introduced the topic to the main topic of this meeting: "Xu Yi, I'm older than you, or I'll call you Xiaoxu, okay?" ”
Xu Yi: "Of course, Director Yan is casual. ”
"Okay, I'll call you a little bit." Yan Zhongwen continued: "This time, on behalf of Taili, thank you very much. I know that several TV stations have sent you cooperation invitations, but you chose our Tomato channel alone, which can be regarded as a kind of fate. ”
"If you have any ideas, you can mention them to Taili."
Xu Yi thought about it and didn't really put forward any ideas, but asked Yan Zhongwen: "Director Yan, can I ask you, what do you think of the current domestic variety show market?" ”
He had to get to the bottom of it first.
Look at the vision of the people in the Tomato station, and by the way, see how strong the support for the show is.
Yan Zhongwen immediately said:
"Good boy, you're here for the school!"
"The current domestic variety shows, as a whole, still belong to a relatively initial stage. Once a certain program becomes popular, many local stations will follow suit and launch similar programs. ”
"But there's nothing wrong with that."
"After all, the market-proven program format is always less risky."
"Judging from the ratings, I think the domestic variety show market is in a stage of vigorous development. If there is a program with first-class content and first-class production standards, it is almost predictable that it will be welcomed by the market. ”
This view coincides with Xu Yi's observation.
At present, most of the domestic variety shows are still in the stage of savage growth. In the next stage, there will be some local satellite TV that will use their brains, import some programs from abroad, buy copyrights, and then re-produce them according to domestic habits.
Further down, it's time to work hard.
All satellite TV stations have to come up with guys who eat and innovate their own.
But that's all for later, and Xu Yi doesn't have to worry about the things that follow. Maybe by that time, he would have already retired and lay down.
I only heard Xu Yi continue to ask:
"Director Yan deserves to be a senior TV person!"
"I probably watched it, and it seems that Mango Channel, Blue Channel and your Tomato Channel are doing a good job in this regard, but the homogenization of the program is more serious."
"Actually, it's not difficult to create a good variety show."
"In addition to program planning, the most important thing is that the station has strong support. In terms of funds, resources, manpower, and even broadcast time, it must be taken care of, so as to truly create a national-level variety show. ”
Yan Zhongwen listened obediently and immediately understood what Xu Yi meant.
He promised:
"Xiao Xu, don't worry about this."
"I know our director very well, and this kind of support is necessary."
Xu Yi has nothing to worry about, he hasn't started working with Tomato Channel yet. I saw Xu Yi smile, then crossed the topic and said, "Director Yan, I probably read the cooperation invitation you sent before, you want to cooperate with me exclusively." In other words, once I have a partnership with Tomato, then I can't make any more suggestions on other stations, right? ”
"Ah...... Yes, there is this idea. ”
It would be the best to tie Xu Yi to the tomato table.
Otherwise, this kid is planning a show in the station today, and going to another TV station tomorrow, and then planning a high-imitation version, so that the two TV stations will fight each other, so how can they play?
Therefore, Yan Zhongwen's original intention of thinking about this article at that time was to avoid risks as much as possible.
Xu Yi thought for a while and said:
"I don't know how Director Yan wants to cooperate?"
The simplest way is actually to follow the form of single-project cooperation of the main station. Xu Yi came up with ideas, collected copyright fees, and handed over the program production to the TV station to get it himself.
Still, he wanted to hear what the Tomato Desk side was going to do.
Yan Zhongwen had already prepared, took out two pieces of A4 paper from the drawer of his desk, handed one to Xu Yi, and held one for himself, and then said:
"That's probably what I think, maybe you can listen to it."
"If there's anything that's not right or missing, you can also bring it up. Of course, you can also propose the form you want for the final cooperation. ”
"First, it's an annual collaboration."
"Within the framework of the year, you have to help us plan at least three variety shows, one of which must be guaranteed to be produced online and broadcast normally."
"The second is project cooperation."
"This way of cooperation is a bit similar to when you were at the main station before."
"You come up with a program plan, and we will procure."
"Of course, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the show, we will also hire you as the general consultant of the show. But the show can't be sold twice, I don't care about the overseas copyright, I can keep it in your hands. ”
"The third is to join our Tomato Channel."
"It's a bit unrealistic, but I'm still thinking about what to expect. As long as you can come, except for the position of director who can't be given to you, I can go and talk about the rest. ”
Yan Zhongwen's sincerity is not insignificant.
Although he knew that Xu Yi would definitely not come to join the company, so he dared to say such a big thing. But for a person in his position, being able to say this is already a kind of demonstration of sincerity.
After thinking about it carefully, Xu Yi said:
"If it's a single-project cooperation, what price can you give?"
It depends on the quality of the show!
Yan Zhongwen didn't ask directly, he said euphemistically: "It must be the highest price in the market, you can rest assured of this, but if there is a TV station with a higher price than us, you can choose the other party." However, the specific price still depends on the show. ”
"What if it's a phenomenal program like "The Voice of China"?"
Xu Yi's words, like a thunderbolt, startled Yan Zhongwen.
This kid really has hidden goods!
If it's really a show like The Voice, it's worth the amount of money!
Yan Zhongwen immediately said with a fiery heart:
"Xiao Xu, if it's really a show of the level of The Voice. I won't say much else, I will at least give you this for the cost of purchasing the program, and the cost of hiring you as a consultant will be calculated separately. ”
As he spoke, Yan Zhongwen stretched out five fingers.
This is the meaning of 50 million, Xu Yi can understand it.
50 million plus the consultant fee, this is the top remuneration in the industry. However, the TV station is not at a loss, if there is a program of this level as a good voice, it can attract soft investment.
When the time comes, how much money will go out, it will only be doubled back.
Xu Yi doesn't have much opinion on this money, and the follow-up broadcast copyright, advertising placement, title investment, etc., these are the benefits that the TV station can see on the bright side.
Some hidden benefits have not yet been calculated.
For example, the long-tail effect brought by the program, the audience catches up with other TV programs and TV dramas, etc., which are difficult to measure with data.
A gold medal variety show can become the signature of the TV station and attract countless audiences.
Xu Yi thought for a moment and said:
"There is no problem with the cost, and I am currently more in favor of the second way of cooperation. However, for the final reply, I would like to reply to discuss with the company, and then reply to Director Yan. Director Yan, do you think it's okay? ”
"Of course!"
Yan Zhongwen knew that this cooperation had already been skimmed.
So he was delighted:
"Absolutely, I'm looking forward to our first collaboration. Cooperate with our Tomato Station to ensure that you will not have any worries. ”
This sentence is also secretly poking at the point of the main station.
Xu Yi could hear it, but he didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "Who I cooperate with, I always only look at people." Today, I will be so warmly received by Director Yan, and I will definitely seriously consider this matter. ”
After coming out of Tomato TV, Xu Yi returned to his big flat.
I haven't been here for a while.
Sometimes, if you are used to living in a courtyard house, you can occasionally live in this kind of high-rise flat, open your vision, and look at the Huangpu River, which is actually a good experience.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the community, he found a figure that seemed familiar.
"Wang Xi?"
"Ah, Xu Yi! It's really you, and that's too much of a coincidence! ”
Could it be a coincidence?
It's hard for you to walk downstairs in my house without touching it.
Wang Xi is Xu Yi's colleague when he worked at Yixiu Media, and he is also one of the newcomer kings in last year's rookie season. At that time, with Xu Yi's "Invisible Wings", Wang Xi passed all the way and hit the end.
However, since the rookie Wang, Wang Xi's voice has been much quieter.
The popularity has passed, and she has no more works that she can get her hands on, and she is gradually said by fans to eat her old book, say that she wants to support the elderly after saying a song, and so on.
This made Wang Xi very frustrated for a while.
In particular, after seeing Zheng Tao and the others, who went to Xu Yi after leaving their jobs, Wang Xi was actually a little tempted.
But she was struggling.
She always feels that Yixiu Media's platform is bigger, Xu Yina is just a studio, and it is difficult to say which side is better in the future development prospects.
If Wang Xi knew that Yao Meng was also from Xu Yi's studio, I don't know if he would regret it at this moment.
Walking here today is purely accidental.
Unexpectedly, I really ran into Xu Yi.
I saw Xu Yi pointing upstairs, and then said, "It's rare for me to come back, how about it, do you want to go up and sit?" ”
Wang Xi was not polite, and nodded immediately:
"Okay!"
At the beginning, in order to repay Xu Yi for writing songs, Wang Xi also went to clean up Xu Yi's large level.
It's just that time flies like a white horse.
It's been almost a year.
This year's rookie ranking season is about to kick off in two months, and I don't know, who will take the crown of the rookie king? Xu Yita...... Will it strike again?
