Kiwi fruit video, Cong Zhu looked at the hot searches on Weibo, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
"Xiao He!"
When the assistant heard her name being called, she quickly ran into the office.
"Cong Zong, what's wrong?"
Cong Zhu continued to brush his Wei Te without raising his head and said:
"Book me a ticket to Chengdu for tomorrow."
Just after he finished speaking, Congzhu continued:
"No, book it for me for this afternoon!"
……
The same situation happened in Tudou Video.
Su Liangcai and other senior executives are coming for a meeting.
And he even said directly:
"We must get the copyright of "Legend of Sword and Fairy II" this time!"
"Even if you pay super S-level royalties."
After hearing what Su Liangcai said, a senior executive said hesitantly:
"But Mr. Su..."
"If we really spend that much in copyright fees, our copyright budget for next quarter will not be enough."
Su Liangcai waved his hand directly.
"If it's not enough, I'll cancel the other dramas I planned to buy."
"This time I must get the copyright of Fairy Sword II!"
Su Liangcai was very upset about the fact that he hesitated about the copyright of Xianjianyi at that time, and finally let Chi Jiang take advantage of it.
I will definitely not make the same mistake this time.
And this time the second part of the Legend of Sword and Fairy has a very small chance of success.
First, it is because of Su Liangcai’s trust in the abilities of director Xu Ji and screenwriter.
Second, the popularity and audience base of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" are so great because of the huge hit of the first part.
This can be seen from the fact that two of the interludes in this issue of "The Meaning of Travel" have reached the top of the hot search list.
As long as the quality of the second part is not too low, there will basically be no problems.
……
Among the three major video websites, the only exception may be Penguin Video.
At this time, the boss Xu Sheng was a little strange. He had already made plans for the vice president Wen Hao to come to him.
Then he gave the other party an A-level film and television copyright budget, and asked Wen Hao to compete with other companies for the copyright of "Legend of Sword and Fairy II".
It’s impossible to get it anyway, so it doesn’t matter.
As long as he is still the person in charge of Penguin Video, Wen Hao, who is not part of his own camp, will not be able to get this performance.
But what I didn't expect was that Wen Hao seemed to know nothing at all.
I ignored the announcement from Tongji Entertainment that the post-production of Sword and Sword 2 was almost completed.
"Vice President Wen?"
Xu Sheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to come to the door.
"What's wrong, Mr. Xu?"
Wen Hao saw that Xu Sheng was very calm.
Xu Sheng shook his head.
"It's okay, I just came to see you."
"Is there any problem with the copyrights of the several dramas decided at the previous meeting?"
Wen Hao nodded.
"It's been determined, and it's all based on the list you gave me."
……
Seeing Xu Sheng's leaving figure, Wen Hao couldn't help but curl up his lips.
Since the last copyright incident of "The Beginning", he has clearly seen the current situation of Penguin Video.
In the eyes of a villain like Xu Sheng, there is no room for people like him who are not from the other camp.
We won’t delegate power anyway.
Xu Sheng didn't want to worry about the copyright of Legend of Sword and Fairy II this time.
It’s not bad to have a peaceful life.
……
"Mr. Xu, are you looking for me?"
Bi Feihong came to Xu Sheng's office at this time.
"Feihong, please take time to go to Chengdu in the next few days."
When Bi Feihong heard Xu Sheng's words, he asked with some confusion:
"Rongcheng?"
"What are you doing there?"
Xu Sheng: "Copyright of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy II"."
……
Since Wen Hao didn't take the initiative to mention the copyright issue, naturally the matter fell to Xu Sheng.
If Bi Feihong can get the copyright, that would be a good thing.
Of course, because Bi Feihong and Xu Ji had a grudge, they just gave it a try.
Even if you don't successfully obtain the copyright, you won't suffer much loss.
……
At the same time, like the three major websites, the three major local stations with the highest ratings also sent people to Chengdu.
When the three major local channels first sold the rights to Xianjianyi, Xu Ji asked Youman to contact them.
But several companies expressed no interest.
It was not until Xianjianyi was aired as a web drama and became a hit that these TV stations began to regret it.
Subsequently, several TV stations also purchased related simulcast rights.
And although the full episode is available on G station, the subsequent ratings are surprisingly good.
It even surpasses many first-run dramas.
So after hearing the news about Fairy Sword II, several TV stations came immediately.
......
But what everyone doesn't know is that long before the program "The Meaning of Travel" was aired, Chi Jiang, the head of G station's film and television department, had already gone to Chengdu to look for Xu Ji.
It was just because Xu Ji went to Hengcheng to audition for the actor Xu Sanduo at that time, so he was not able to meet him.
And Chi Jiang did not leave, but continued to wait in Rongcheng for Xu Ji to come back.
When Youman came to Chi Jiang, he speculated that the other party was probably here for the copyright of Fairy Sword II.
But what I didn't expect was that Station G, represented by Chi Jiang, wanted more than just the copyright of Sword and Sword II.
......
"Mr. Chi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
After Xu Ji returned, he received the news from Youman and met with Chi Jiang as agreed.
Chi Jiang seemed very polite.
"Director Xu is a director, so it's normal to be busy. I understand."
"Besides, I quite like this place in Chengdu. It doesn't matter if I stay for a few more days."
Xu Ji still had the same idea as before. Although the post-production of Fairy Sword II is almost completed, it has not been officially completed.
Before the finished film of Sword and Sword II is released, the copyright issue is not yet decided.
In fact, Xu Ji also likes to cooperate with G station.
From the first "The Best of Us" to the subsequent dramas, it has been a pleasure for everyone to work together.
But this time Xu Ji felt that there was no need to be so anxious to buy the copyright.
"Mr. Chi, to be honest, I have no plans to sell the copyright of Fairy Sword II for the time being."
"But when the finished film comes out, I will definitely be the first to notify you!"
"It's not too late to discuss copyright fees then."
Chi Jiang shook his head.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Director Xu, actually I came here this time not just for the copyright of Legend of Sword and Fairy II."
Xu Ji was a little surprised when he heard what the other party said.
After all, Tongji Entertainment has not yet sold the copyright of Fairy Sword II.
As for "Soldier Assault", filming has not yet started, and it is an official investment-produced drama. When discussing copyright, just like the original "Mountain and Sea Love", you have to talk to Duan Shengyu.
"Then Mr. Chi is here this time for..."
Xu Ji asked curiously.
Chi Jiang did not show off, but directly explained his purpose.
"Director Xu, since you invested in "The Best of Us" last year, you have been our best partner at G station."
"Several subsequent dramas have also verified this."
"So on behalf of Station G, I plan to invite you, Tongji Entertainment, to formally become a strategic partner with our Station G."
......
Hearing this, not only Xu Ji, but also Youman, who had never known Chi Jiang's specific intention before, was a little surprised.
Chi Jiang not only intends to obtain the copyright of Fairy Sword II, but also intends to obtain the copyright of all subsequent dramas of Tongji Entertainment.
My appetite is quite big!
At this time, Chi Jiang also knew that it was impossible to get all the copyrights of Xu Ji, a popular director, without paying any price.
For this negotiation, he also talked directly with Mr. Chen, the chairman of Station G, for a long time, and finally got what he felt was the greatest sincerity.
A condition that Xu Ji and Tongji Entertainment would not refuse.
"Director Xu, how did we reach a cooperative relationship?"
"In the next five years, your company's dramas will be broadcast exclusively on our G station."
"Then for all the dramas produced by your company in the next five years, we will purchase the copyrights at 1.5 times the investment amount."
"And..."
"We and Tongji Entertainment each get 50% of the membership fee and advertising share of the film and television dramas produced by your company on G station."
......
Hearing Chi Jiang's words, Youman on the side opened his mouth in shock.
This is indeed an impossible condition to refuse.
If this is really the case, then Tongji Entertainment’s future film and television dramas will basically be guaranteed to make a profit.
The G station family has taken all the risks.
After Xu Ji heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
"Mr. Chi, under such conditions, I'm afraid you can't make the decision, right?"
Chi Jiang replied:
"I have already applied to Mr. Chen."
"So please rest assured, every word I just said counts."
"We can even sign a five-year cooperation contract now."
......
Chi Jiang actually knew that such a treaty was too risky for G station.
It's even like giving benefits to Xu Ji's company.
But the current situation at Station G forced him to spend such a large amount of money to completely tie Xu Ji to the car at Station G.
With the exception of Xu Ji, Chi Jiang currently doesn’t see any bargaining chip that can compete with the other three major websites regarding G station’s film and television layout.
The three major entertainment companies, the largest producers, currently have basically no cooperation with G Station.
It has been monopolized by Penguin, Kiwi and Potato.
If you want to open up the situation, you have to find a new producer to cooperate with, or G Station invests in making dramas yourself.
This road seems too difficult to Chi Jiang.
He even believes that even if he persists for ten years, regardless of whether he loses money or not, it will still be difficult to shake Tudou Video, which has the lowest number of members, let alone catch up with Penguin and Kiwi.
The only one who gave him hope was Xu Ji, a director who debuted less than a year ago but became a hit with every drama he produced.
Originally I wasn’t too concerned about the traces of Chi Jiang’s words, but now I hesitated.
The conditions proposed by Chi Jiang are actually pretty good in terms of temptation.
Xu Ji is confident that the rights to each of his company's dramas will be sold.
Even many can definitely recover 1.5 times the cost.
But the other party’s conditions were too sincere, and Xu Ji’s impression of Station G has always been pretty good.
Xu Ji couldn't find any reason for rejection.
And every time there is a new drama, a bunch of people come to Chengdu to inquire about the copyright, which is indeed a troublesome thing.
The conditions proposed by Chi Jiang, Xu Ji felt that it was not unacceptable to continue to cooperate with Station G in the future.
Finally, he nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Chi, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
Chi Jiang looked very excited.
The cooperation that I have been planning for so long has finally come to nothing!
Of course, he also knew that Xu Ji agreed, and after the contract was signed, this was the beginning of this huge gamble.
The contract must have relevant restrictions. Since it is a cooperation, and it is equivalent to the drama not being filmed, the copyright fee will be paid.
G station needs to send people to participate in related production and cost budget of a drama.
Xu Ji didn't intend to take advantage. As long as it didn't affect the filming, he didn't mind this aspect of the contract.
......
"Xiaoman, I have good news for you. The application I submitted for you was approved. You are now the vice president of our film and television department!"
After discussing cooperation with Xu Ji, Chi Jiang found Youman and told him about the surprise.
When Youman heard that he had been promoted again, he was stunned.
"Vice President?"
"Mr. Chi, are you kidding?"
"I didn't do anything!"
"Why is he the vice president?"
Youman answered truthfully at this time.
She really didn't do anything.
I even felt a little guilty many times and wanted to resign.
Anyway, at Tongji Entertainment, the two hands-on bosses Xu Ji and Sha Yetong obviously cannot live without themselves.
She has given up on the idea of returning to G station headquarters.
But after Chi Jiang heard Youman's words, he directly said:
"Xiaoman, it's OK to be modest, but your excessive modesty is wrong!"
"If you haven't done anything, then aren't all the other people in our film and television department just for a living?"
"Without you managing the relationship with Tongji Entertainment in Chengdu, how could our previous cooperation with them have been so smooth?"
......
Youman: "..."
After hearing Chi Jiang's words, Youman couldn't refute for a while.
If anyone can give Xu Ji advice, Youman feels that it is really only him.
After all, for Tongji Entertainment, although Xu Ji is the boss, in terms of true understanding, she definitely doesn’t understand it.
Xu Ji now doesn’t even recognize many people in the company.
Most of them were carefully selected by Youman and recruited one by one, or they were recruited by other companies in person.
"Then Mr. Chi, do I want to go back to the Shanghai headquarters?"
Youman asked.
At this time, she had already thought of the reason.
When Chi Jiang asked her to return to the headquarters later, she said that she was used to staying in Chengdu, and then took this opportunity to formally resign.
Youman was just about to praise his wit, but Chi Jiang shook his head and said:
"No need!"
"Sending you back to headquarters is a waste."
"You just continue to stay here in Chengdu!"
"As you just heard, our G station and Tongji Entertainment will have an in-depth cooperative relationship in the future."
"We will definitely send people to stay here permanently."
"In addition, we will be able to participate in all future dramas produced by Tongji Entertainment as co-producers."
"I'll leave this matter to you! If you are too busy, I can give you some recruitment quotas."
"After all, it's impossible for a vice president to have no subordinates."
"As the vice president, you are directly responsible for the department that interfaces with Tongji Entertainment."
"Although there may be fewer people, your salary and power are at the level of department vice president, so you don't have to worry about this."
......
After hearing Chi Jiang's words, the draft You Man had just made was completely invalidated.
It seems...I can't find a reason to refuse.
Youman sighed helplessly.
"I understand, Mr. Chi."
Chi Jiang didn't doubt why Youman didn't seem so happy about his promotion. He thought it was because the other party hadn't recovered from the sudden good news.
......
At the same time, several other websites still know nothing about the cooperation between Xuji and G station.
This time Congzhu and Su Liangcai met again at the airport.
"Together?"
Congzhu said.
Su Liangcai also didn't expect that Kiwi Guo's movements would be so fast.
But this time he was determined to win the copyright for Sword and Sword II, and he had prepared sufficient royalties, but he didn't feel guilty at all.
The only strange thing is, why didn’t I see Chi Jiang at the airport this time?
Isn’t Station G very positive about the drama directed by Xu Ji?
