Chapter 306 Do you think Xu Ji is really a businessman?
Although the drama was snatched away by Channel 8, Dai Chao still maintained his proper demeanor.
Together with Liu Qifeng, we sent Wen Hao out of the CCTV building.
Of course, this is also because Dai Chao has not seen this Tongji Entertainment film.
So I don’t think this drama can create the glory of the original "Soldier Assault".
No matter how great Xu Ji is, it’s impossible for every drama to be popular, right?
And it’s a serious drama with a relatively small audience.
Of course, although Liu Qifeng signed a contract with Wen Hao without even seeing the finished film, he knew very well that he actually had no other choice.
In addition to Xu Ji's company, the dramas produced by other film and television companies either do not comply with relevant restrictions, or the quality is worrying.
This time he was lucky enough to meet Tongji Entertainment, which happened to have a drama that fit the genre, and he was already very satisfied.
As for the specific content of the drama, it’s too late to wait until the cooperation is finalized.
......
At the same time, at the g station headquarters in Shanghai, Chi Jiang also just received the film source of "Parental Love".
It took me two or three days to finally finish reading it.
But after reading it, apart from being surprised that Xu Ji would write such a serious drama about family affairs, I also felt a little worried.
Let’s not talk about the subject matter of this drama. Whether the young viewers at G station will like it or not, even in terms of review, Chi Jiang feels a little doubtful.
Even the relationship between Xu Ji and the official side seems to be good.
But this time the subject matter is indeed somewhat sensitive and involves that special period.
Xu Ji is really the biggest surprise that every new drama can give people.
Regarding this, Chi Jiang didn't know whether he should be happy or not.
......
"Lao Duan?"
"Okay, I'll be right over."
After Liu Qifeng completed the contract with Tongji Entertainment, he immediately watched the "Parents' Love" which had just bought the exclusive broadcast rights.
Then I quickly discovered the sensitive content involved in this drama.
Sure enough, before he could think about it, Duan Shengyu called.
To be honest, Liu Qifeng is actually very satisfied with this "Parental Love".
Being able to film the family drama and the changes of the times in that special period in such an interesting way really demonstrates Xu Ji's screenwriting skills.
But if you can't pass the trial, then everything is in vain.
Moreover, the entire drama was shot around the background of that era. If it were to be changed, it would probably be completely different in the end.
"Mr. Duan, what do you want from me?"
Arriving at the director's office of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, Liu Qifeng said knowingly.
"Have you bought the copyright for Xu Ji's "Parental Love"?"
Duan Shengyu did not beat around the bush at all and asked directly.
Liu Qifeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Mr. Duan, the subject matter is indeed a bit sensitive, but the play itself is a good one..."
Liu Qifeng opened his mouth to plead.
Mainly because he doesn't want the show to be sent back for re-editing or anything.
But what surprised him was that Duan Shengyu said:
"Don't worry."
"Although the subject matter of "Parents' Love" is a bit more sensitive, it actually doesn't have any over-the-top content."
】
"I was very emotional after reading it. It reminded me of what happened when I was young."
Liu Qifeng is not very old. When he was born, that period was almost over.
So there is no deep experience.
But Duan Shengyu is different. He was born in a military family. Although he was forced to retire early due to injuries and joined the Radio and Television Bureau, he still has some similarities with Jiang Defu in the TV series.
So when watching this drama, I inevitably think of some people and things that happened in the past.
Even if this drama is not broadcast on the official channel, Duan Shengyu will still do his best to help pass the review.
In fact, the reason why he likes Xu Ji is because of the stories he wrote.
They will not deliberately exaggerate or emphasize anything, but will objectively and even calmly capture the true history.
Some directors shoot dramas specifically for the particularity of history itself, but ignore the stories and characters in the drama that are the key.
It looks very awkward.
In Xu Ji's "My Leader, My Regiment" and this time's "Parental Love", the anti-Japanese war and that special period are really the background of the story, and there is no prestige.
Therefore, even if such a drama has a sensitive subject matter, Duan Shengyu feels that it should not be rejected.
"Actually, I called you here this time because I want you to try your best to arrange for "Parents' Love" to be broadcast in prime time."
"If you hadn't asked me for it in advance, I would have thought it would be better to air this drama on the official channel."
"After all, the number of viewers on one station is larger."
......
After hearing Duan Shengyu's words, Liu Qifeng naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Duan! It will definitely be a prime time."
"And it will be replayed at night!"
He has spent so much effort, and even did not hesitate to offend TV station, so he naturally has great hopes for Xu Ji's drama, and it should be placed on prime time.
Of course, Liu Qifeng became nervous after hearing what Duan Shengyu said.
Fortunately, we came to find the other party in advance, otherwise, this drama would probably have nothing to do with Channel 8.
......
"What, Xu Ji's new drama is broadcast on the official channel again?"
"Are you addicted to hugging your thighs?"
Phoenix Entertainment, as the actual controller of the company, Li Bokai naturally has his own news channels.
We already knew this when Xu Ji’s new drama was submitted for review.
At the same time, I also found out that the other party’s new drama will be broadcast on the official channel.
Xu Ji is now cooperating more and more closely with the official side, forgetting the previous gift dramas and recruitment propaganda tasks.
Why are you taking the initiative to film dramas now?
If Xu Ji cooperates with the officials, they really don’t have the guts to make any small moves.
"Brother, if it's a serious drama, don't bother with it. It's not very popular."
Li Borui opened his mouth to comfort him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But these words were spoken almost subconsciously, without much thought.
"Have you forgotten the previous data of "Soldier Assault"?"
Li Bokai said with a cold face.
As the current chairman, Li Borui was choked and speechless.
"Bo Rui, your state has been very wrong recently!"
"I heard people say that you disappear from the company every time for no apparent reason?"
"You are now the chairman of Phoenix Entertainment..."
Hearing his elder brother's words, Li Borui was frightened and broke into a cold sweat.
He thought that his elder brother probably didn't know his whereabouts.
The other party needs to report on many things in the company one by one. In name, he is only a director.
Now it seems that the other party obviously has many informants in the company.
"Alas..."
"Don't forget what my father said to me on the hospital bed before he passed away."
"Phoenix Entertainment cannot be destroyed in our hands."
"Just take care of yourself."
......
After all, the other party was his younger brother, and Li Bokai still didn’t say anything serious.
In fact, his desire to be the chairman is just a matter of words. Li Borui, whether he agrees or not, cannot stop him.
But what his father originally said was to leave the company to the two brothers, so Li Bokai kept the other brother in the position of chairman.
I also hope that one day in the future, my younger brother will be able to grow up, and the two brothers will fulfill their father's lifetime wish together, making Phoenix Entertainment a dominant company in the entertainment industry.
......
Kiwi Company, after the perfect ending of "My Leader, My Team", the cost of copyright fees was recovered, and later won the Yunyu Award for the best TV series of the year, Cong Zhu's real power in the company is close to that of the president Hu Lei. It's not that Hu Lei was sidelined, but that the board of directors directly handed over a lot of power to Cong Zhu.
And because of some mysterious operations in the company, Hu Lei was already showing signs of betrayal and separation.
So this time, Cong Zhu, the vice president, was more supportive than expected.
Congzhu is not like Hu Lei, who likes to be dictatorial. All rights must be in his own hands, even if it is some business that he is not familiar with.
Since Congzhu took over, he likes to delegate power to subordinates who he feels are trustworthy and capable.
She also knows very well that if she worries about every part, she will never be able to keep busy.
On the contrary, the most important thing is to conduct the command safely.
However, Congzhu still plans to continue to be responsible for the copyright of Kiwi Video’s new drama.
This part is considered the most critical part of the video platform, and Congzhu has no intention of letting it go.
"How's it going, Mr. Cong?"
As soon as Cong Zhu entered the company, many pairs of eyes were staring at each other.
Then a department head of the event planning department who was promoted by Cong Zhu directly knocked on the door and entered her office, and then asked expectantly.
Congzhu casually put his coat on the chair, sat down and shook his head in frustration.
"No deal."
"In other words, we didn't talk about it at all."
Congzhu’s words surprised the visitor.
"Are they not satisfied with the conditions we offered?"
She just came back from a business trip from Zhuzhu. As for the place of business trip, it was in Rongcheng, which she had only visited a few times.
"No, I didn't meet Xu Ji, but the general manager of Tongji Entertainment met with me."
"As far as I know, most of the business of Tongji Entertainment is handled by this game director, and Xu Ji and Sha Yetong are both hands-off bosses."
"But after she heard that we planned to cooperate with them, she refused directly."
"And Xu Ji said that it is not a matter of money or conditions. Their cooperative relationship with G station cannot be broken before the end of the contract."
There was a little helplessness in Congzhu's tone.
In fact, the financial situation at G station is really not as good as that of Kiwi.
Although there is not much difference in the scale of the two companies, the monetization model of G station is not yet mature, and it is completely incomparable with Kiwi, which makes tens of billions every year.
If it were a fair competition, the conditions the other party could offer Tongji Entertainment would definitely be inferior to them.
And unlike Penguin Video, Kiwi has nothing to do with Xu Ji.
The previous cooperation on "I Head My Team" was also very smooth.
Congzhu now has much more real power, and he is not afraid of fighting for money with Station G.
But I’m afraid that the cooperation between Xu Ji and G Station involves more than just money and various sharing conditions.
"This Tongji Entertainment is not normal."
"How can Xu Ji start a company without thinking about making more money?"
"Isn't this normal in business?"
The senior executive of the Kiwi Fruit Company complained.
Congzhu could not help but smile and replied:
"Do you think Xu Ji is really a businessman?"
"Can Tongji Entertainment still develop to this level?"
After hearing Congzhu's words, the head of the event planning department was also stunned for a moment.
People like Xu Ji, who is a top-notch director and a master of lyrics and music, are indeed different from ordinary company bosses.
And judging from the rumors that have been circulating before.
Xu Ji Kai Tong Ji Entertainment seems to have no choice.
It was because there was a conflict between Sha Yetong and Phoenix Entertainment. In the end, Tongji Entertainment was born.
There was a lot of ridicule at that time.
No one could have imagined that in less than three years, Xu Ji’s Tongji Entertainment would have grown to such an astonishing scale.
......
"By the way, Mr. Cong, I just received news that Tongji's next drama seems to be ready to be broadcast on the official TV station."
Congzhu nodded.
"I've heard about this."
"It should be a more traditional drama, otherwise Xu Ji wouldn't deliberately cooperate with the official channel."
"If it is other film and television companies, most of the main dramas they shoot are to connect with the official side, or for some official projects."
"After all, most major dramas are bad, but when it comes to Xu Ji, it's really hard to say."
From "The Love of Mountains and Seas" to "Soldier Assault" and "My Commander, My Regiment", it is obvious that the dramas produced by Xuji Company are fundamentally different from those of other companies.
Not only is the quality a problem, but the popularity is surprisingly good.
There will even be phenomenal hits like "Soldier Assault".
"Then from the boss, do we need to avoid He Tongji's new drama in the future?"
I don’t know if it’s the shadow left by the two Fairy Sword movies, but now that I’ve heard about Tongji Entertainment’s drama, the first thing Kiwi’s senior management considers is to stagger the schedules of some of their platform’s flagship dramas.
But Congzhu shook his head.
"Our new dramas next month or even next year will not have similar genres."
"It's not the same track, and the audience is not the same, but it's not necessary."
"But..."
——"But what?"
Seeing Congzhu lost in thought, the head of the event planning department asked.
"Although there is no possibility of cooperation with Tongji Entertainment."
"But maybe there is another direction."
Congzhu suddenly remembered a relatively familiar person.
"Help me make an appointment with Director Song from Ideal Film and Television."
......
Song Lili has been feeling proud since "My Leader, My Team" won the award at the Yunyu Awards.
On weekdays, when you go out to have dinner or party with colleagues, you should speak in a more confident tone.
His company has now successfully escaped from imminent bankruptcy.
The copyright fee income from "My Leader, My Group" can even be considered as the income from all the projects since he started the company.
After all, most of the dramas that were invested in and filmed before were the ones whose copyrights could not be sold or were sold at a loss.
This is precisely why the company has had negative revenue for many consecutive years.
There was a lot of investment in low-budget dramas, and they also compromised and followed suit.
After running a company for so many years, Xu Ji finally let him know that there was a way to make money while standing.
However, after the completion of "My Leader, My Team", Song Lili fell into entanglement again.
I have read many scripts written by screenwriters from companies or industry, but I have just filmed a drama of the level of "My Captain, My Troupe", and I still feel dissatisfied no matter how I read these scripts.
At this moment, the assistant came in and told him that Cong Zhu, the vice president of Kiwi Fruit, suddenly showed up uninvited.
