Chapter Ninety-Six: Born to Deal with TV Stations
Li Tang looked at Director Bai Xiongji who was sitting opposite, they had been drinking tea for ten minutes and chatting about the daily life of the crew.
He knew that Director Bai Xiongji was definitely not here to talk about this, and he was not in a hurry to ask.
"Your tea is getting better and better."
Bai Xiongji didn't expect such turmoil in the TV station, and it just got a little better.
Some of the chaebol shareholders want to come in, some want to quit, and the old director here is also approaching retirement age, and everyone is making their own little calculations.
He came today to stabilize Li Tang, and finally invited a general, but after being squeezed out, he didn't know how many years it would take for the TV station to stand up.
"This is tea shipped from Huaxia, I'm used to drinking it, I'll ask the assistant to send you some later, I bought a lot of it here." Li Tang continued to talk about the topic.
"Okay, I'll take this bite." Bai Xiongji smiled and took a sip of tea, and said seriously: "Some things may happen to the TV station in the past few days, and I can't intervene, but if you have any problems here, you still have to find me as soon as possible." ”
"I can't control the change of shareholders above, but as long as the following things are not affected, I can still call the shots, after all, we are partners who move forward together, and I will do my best to keep you from being affected."
Bai Xiongji has been laying the groundwork for so long, and he has opened up this matter, and this situation cannot be hidden, or it won't be long before the personnel of the TV station will hear the news.
He came over to talk to Li Tang first, this matter can't be solved in a day or two, and now no one knows what the final situation is.
"Equity swap?"
Li Tang was a little surprised, the impact of the equity swap on them can be said to be impossible to judge, if it can't be adjusted, it will have a great impact on the TV station, not to mention their small classroom.
If there is no contradiction in the above equity replacement, it can be easily solved, but with his understanding of Bai Xiongji, since he came to remind him, it means that it is not smooth.
"Yes, I'm here this time to see the situation of your crew, I just heard you say that the progress of several of your crews is going well, and I am relieved."
Li Tang: Their classroom is still very important to him, and there are opportunities for him to become the director of the old station when he retires, especially during this period of time, the ratings of the production department he manages have also risen all the way.
Li Tang also released a national TV series for them, which is a very good performance for him, and the newly established crews are also above the level of their newly established TV station.
The results of the crew are very good even compared with the other two old TV stations.
Li Tang, a general, can't lose it whether it's for the TV station or for himself, and the ratings of the TV station are the lifeblood no matter when.
"Director Bai, if you suddenly say such a news, I still have to talk to Producer Su Yan to determine the latest situation of the crew, and the information I know is from a few days ago."
Li Tang felt that he was really a little bit back, and he encountered this kind of thing when he finally opened up the situation, and he hoped that it would not affect the crew.
"Yes, you can ask for anything you need, and I will do my best to help you get it."
Bai Xiongji also understands the situation of their crew, although Li Tang is the absolute core, but the crew management is still arranged by Li Suyan, I have to say that Li Suyan, a girl, is still quite good at managing the crew, and so many crews have not seen any major mistakes.
He was also in a hurry this time, and he came directly to Li Tang's office to stabilize this screenwriter who could drive the TV station, and Li Suyan didn't have time to inform him.
"I will definitely not be polite to Director Xiongji, we still have to ensure the follow-up progress of the crew." Li Tang smiled and said to Bai Xiongji.
"You'd better be polite to me." Bai Xiongji glared at Li Tang angrily, and then laughed as well.
"Then I'll go back first, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with."
Bai Xiongji stood up, waved his hand, and walked towards the door.
"The director walks slowly." Li Tang sent Bai Xiongji to the door, called back Zhang Suna, who was sitting outside, and sat back in his place.
"Su Na, you go and call Su Yeon back, just say I have something to look for her."
Li Tang felt that he had to think about the worst in everything, otherwise he would be caught off guard when he encountered it.
He also likes the office atmosphere here, the leader lets himself do it, and his colleagues around him are partners who have struggled together.
Deputy Director Bai Xiongji will think of their crew as long as there is something, and all kinds of treatment are also very preferred.
There is only one requirement for their crew, which is to do a good job in the show.
This also gives Li Tang a good space to show his talents, and it is best not to have a big turmoil.
It didn't take long for Lee So-yeon to follow Jang So-na to the office.
The reason why she came over so quickly was that Zhang Suna happened to meet Li Suyan who was coming over halfway.
Li Suyan came over and said the same thing as Li Tang, and she also got the news from Shen Yinhe.
The chaebol who is going to quit the TV station is the family of Shen Junxian's fiancée, so she can get the news so quickly.
"You know about the shareholders of the TV station." Lee So-yeon asked after coming in.
She asked Zhang Suna on the way why Li Tang was looking for her, and she knew that Bai Xiongji had already come and should have come to remind her.
She really thinks that if Deputy Director Bai Xiongji is a woman, he wants to marry Li Tang, this guy will notify Li Tang of anything first, and almost all the requirements in the crew will be met.
Don't really love Li Tang too much.
"Just now, Director Bai Xiongji came over and said, how do you know?" Li Tang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Suyan to be so well-informed.
"Yinhe told me that there is a matter of your apprentice's fiancée's family here."
"If you don't say it, I'll forget that there is still this relationship."
Li Tang remembered that he was a rebel and his fiancée, he was really born in Rome.
"I heard that this time things are not so simple, and the few chaebols who want to come in value the TV station very much, and they are ready to take over the reform after they come in, and they are very dissatisfied with the current situation."
"The chaebols who want to exit pay more attention to the new type of network, and want to enter the market in advance to control the network platform, and the equity replacement on both sides has not been negotiated." Lee So-yeon told her what she had learned.
It looks like it's just a simple equity conversion, but in fact, such a large equity replacement can't be solved by you saying a few numbers.
"This kind of thing has nothing to do with us, what we have to do is to be optimistic about our own one-third of an acre."
Li Tang also understood that these things were not under their control, and continued: "Have all the follow-up funds of our crew gone to the crew?" ”
No matter what time it is, the crew can't leave the money, and as long as the funds are in place, what will happen to them will not have much impact on them.
"The love letter and X-MAN are already in place, and there are five issues of funds reserved for two days and one night, and only the early funds have arrived on the TV series." Lee So-yeon brushed her hair next to her ear.
"Then apply for all the funds on the TV drama side with Director Bai Xiongji first, and you can apply for as many as you can here for two days and one night, and you must have at least ten periods of funds."
"If both sides don't want to invest money during the equity swap period, the crew's funds will definitely shrink, and we must prepare for the worst."
Li Tang thought about the follow-up questions very seriously, the funding item is really the most critical, otherwise you won't be able to shoot anything.
"Aren't we born to deal with TV stations? Why is there such a thing every time there is just an improvement? ”
After Li Suyan nodded, she complained a little.
This hard-won good situation, there is no way to encounter these unwarranted disasters, I just hope to get through it peacefully.
"It makes sense for you to say this, let's not renew our contract too early this year, and wait until this matter is over to decide."
The contract signed by Li Tang and the two of them with the TV station was not signed for one drama, but for one year as a whole.
This year, Li Tang still strongly requested it, and it was also because of the incident with MBC TV that he was so cautious about the contract.
Bai Xiongji's side wanted to sign a five-year contract at the beginning, and in the end, there was no way to change it to a one-year contract.
"It's not so serious, Deputy Director Xiongji is still competing for the position of director, and when the dust settles, it should be similar to now."
Li Suyan didn't expect Li Tang to talk about the contract, she felt that it might be a little troublesome when the equity was replaced, and it should return to normal later.
"We still have to prepare for the worst, everything is normal and the best, and we will not be passive if there is a situation."
Li Tang also suddenly thought that when he was at MBC TV, he was fortunate that he was only a temporary worker's contract, otherwise it would not have gone so smoothly.
"Okay, I'll apply for crew funding first, and then discuss other changes together."
Although Li Suyan felt that there was no need to be so cautious, since she had brought it up, she should keep more thought.
