Not only Mo Jianwen, but also Tongji Entertainment’s own variety shows still need to be recorded.
In addition, Xu Ji also has to deal with Youman. Even though his boss is a hands-off boss, he still needs to make decisions on some projects himself.
While Xu Ji is extremely busy, the three major domestic video platforms are also somewhat uneasy.
Although after the finale of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" aired, Station G really has no new dramas to produce for the time being.
The three major platforms began to compete with each other to warm up their new dramas.
At present, it seems that the market without Tongji Entertainment has finally returned to a relatively normal state.
Although the three major video platforms still have their own new dramas that break out from time to time.
But at least the new drama won't directly steal most of the audience, and the other two companies can still enjoy some soup.
Unlike G Station, when a new drama from Tongji Entertainment is released, even small-cost web dramas with low investment on other platforms are facing the risk of losing money.
But just when everyone was happily arranging the launch plan of their new drama.
But suddenly news came out that Qi Guo seemed to be in contact with Song Lili, a top-tier director, and was planning to buy the rights to a new drama written by Xu Ji.
As soon as this news came out, not only Penguin and Tudou Video, but also G Station, which had cooperated with Tongji Entertainment so many times, couldn't sit still.
After all, according to Xu Ji's current reputation, if there is an opportunity to buy the rights to a drama written by him, no platform would miss such an opportunity.
So when the news came out, the three major platforms and G Station almost all sent people to fly to the capital at the same time, preparing to contact Song Lili to discuss copyright matters.
Of course, the people most angry about this matter at this time must still be the Kiwi people.
After all, before this, only they themselves knew the news about this drama, and other platforms did not know it.
"Cong Zong, could it be that Song Lili took the initiative to leak the information?"
In a certain hotel in Beijing, I originally made an appointment with Song Lili to meet today to discuss copyright matters, but the other party gave up inexplicably.
It was not until news spread that other platforms had heard the news and came to the scene that Congzhu knew that the news had been leaked.
"Who else could it be but him?"
Congzhu was also very angry at this time.
But there was nothing he could do against Song Lili.
After all, the copyright of this drama is indeed still in the hands of the other party. Even if other platforms come, Congzhu is still very determined to buy the copyright of this new drama from Song Lili.
Therefore, he knew that Song Lili was deliberately leaking the information in order to increase the copyright fee.
But I guess when I see each other tomorrow, I still have to greet him with a smile.
“But if other platforms come, will our budget be limited?”
The assistant asked worriedly at this time.
Congzhu nodded.
"If we are just a Kiwi family, the price is easy to negotiate."
"But now that all platforms are here, Song Lili will definitely raise the price accordingly."
"It is estimated that the budget prepared before is not enough."
The assistant was actually a little surprised when he heard Congzhu's words at this time.
In fact, she already felt that the copyright fee from Congzhu was too high for her psychological price.
Only then did I know that Congzhu still planned to increase the amount.
It can be considered a sky-high price.
And more importantly, Xu Ji is actually the screenwriter of this drama, and the director is not even the director of Tongji Entertainment.
It is still different from Tongji Entertainment's dramas. She is not sure why several major platforms are willing to spend so much copyright fees on this.
"Actually, we don't have any advantages."
"Compared to other companies, we have been preparing for such a long time, so we are more adequate than them in all aspects."
“The same goes for the most critical copyright fee budget.”
When Cong Zhu was saying these words, Penguin Video, this time Xu Sheng actually didn't particularly want Bi Feihong to go again after getting the news.
But after thinking about it, I found that among the people available in the company, only Bi Feihong was relatively free and could spare this time.
Either he didn't gain his trust, or there were more important things.
Bi Feihong is still the most suitable candidate.
"Mr. Xu, don't worry, I will definitely buy the copyright of this drama this time!"
Bi Feihong looked confident in front of Xu Sheng at this time.
At the beginning, it was because he was a little careless and didn't pay much attention to it, so he didn't get the copyright of "My Leader, My Group."
But this time, he has been idle in the company for almost more than a month. During this period, Xu Sheng did not arrange any projects for him, and just let him sit in his office every day.
It's hard to get the opportunity to perform like this, so naturally you have to cherish it.
What's more, this time, Xu Sheng actually directly gave him the rights to pay royalties. With money in his pocket, Bi Feihong didn't think there were TV series rights that he couldn't buy.
At this time, Xu Sheng looked at Bi Feihong. Although the other party was full of confidence, he was still a little worried.
"Remember, this time we are going for the new drama written by Xu Ji."
"As for the money, even if it's really not enough, don't give up right away. Call me first to ask."
Hearing Xu Sheng's words, Bi Feihong was a little surprised.
Xu Ji is just a screenwriter. How expensive is this drama?
"Mr. Xu, are you saying that our copyright fee budget at this level may not be enough?"
"How can it be?"
"The news I got this time is that the total investment in Song Lili's drama is only about 100 million."
After Xu Sheng heard this, he smiled contemptuously.
"You are too naive."
"This is a script written by Xu Ji. Although Song Lili is not very famous, he is still a top-notch director."
"How much do you think the copyrights for these two movies, "The Legend of the Heroes of the Sacrifice" and "The Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Ancient City," cost?"
Bi Feihong was obviously stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Only then did he remember that from the beginning of this year until now, there have been two dramas that could become blockbuster phenomena.
The difference is Xu Ji's shooting and ghost blowing lanterns.
"And more importantly, Tongji Entertainment has a cooperative relationship with Station G."
"In other words, if we follow normal channels, it is basically impossible for us to buy their dramas."
"Only companies like Tongji Entertainment and Song Lili cooperate to invest in filming, and they are the only ones that can buy dramas in which Xu Ji is the screenwriter."
"Except for us, everyone should know how rare such an opportunity is."
"I understand Mr. Xu."
Bi Feihong quickly agreed.
Especially looking at Xu Sheng's attitude at this time, he was even more thinking about completing the task.
If he can succeed this time, he might really be able to return to his position as vice president.
"By the way, you should go when the time comes, and don't let yourself fall asleep during the preview meeting again."
