Beijing, Beijing TV station.
At 7:55 in the morning, Zhu Shaotai came to the program department of the variety show channel on time as usual.
"Good morning, Director Zhu!"
Many colleagues in the office have already started working, and they all greeted Zhu Shaotai when they saw him.
Zhu Shaotai nodded reservedly in response and walked into his own independent workroom with his head held high.
As the deputy director of the program department of the variety show channel of Beijing TV Station, he worked hard for 20 years to reach his current position. Therefore, he knows how to cherish and never be late or leave early.
Even if he had nothing to do, he would be happy to lean back on the leather chair comfortably, drink fragrant tea, and read today's morning newspaper leisurely to learn about yesterday's news events at home and abroad.
The kettle placed next to the desk has been filled with hot water, the tea cups on the table have been washed clean, and a stack of brand-new newspapers that smell of ink are neatly laid out.
A wonderful day has begun again!
Zhu Shaotai buried his burly body into the large and comfortable executive chair, picked up a newspaper and read it. There was very little business to deal with today, so he could relax first.
When Zhu Shaotai drank tea and read the newspaper, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning.
He put down the tea cup, opened his arms to stretch his muscles, and then turned on the computer.
Currently, Beijing TV Station is promoting paperless office. Internal documents, notices, work arrangements, etc. are all transmitted through computers and the Internet, including work processing.
After skillfully entering his personal password and entering the desktop, Zhu Shaotai opened his work log.
After approving two trivial applications, he suddenly remembered something.
The deputy director of the program department frowned, reached for the phone on the table, and dialed an internal number.
The call was quickly connected: "Hello, Director Zhu!"
The voice on the phone was very respectful.
Zhu Shaotai's brows widened. He tapped his left index finger on the table and said calmly: "Xiao Zhang, come to my office now."
"Okay, Director!"
After a while, there was a gentle knock on the door of the room.
Zhu Shaotai said in a deep voice: "Please come in."
A man in his thirties opened the door and walked in, asking: "Director Zhu, are you looking for me?"
"Yes"
Zhu Shaotai pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Sit down and pour yourself some tea."
The man surnamed Zhang agreed. He picked up the thermos and filled Zhu Shaotai with tea before sitting down.
Zhu Shaotai nodded with satisfaction and asked: "Xiao Zhang, I called you here to ask you how the negotiations with Qiande Films went? Are they still insisting on their conditions?"
"Qiande Films?"
The man surnamed Zhang was stunned and asked: "You mean to buy the TV series "Blue Life and Death", right?"
Zhu Shaotai was a little unhappy: "Is there anything else?"
The TV series "Blue Life and Death" is jointly invested and filmed by Qiande Brothers Pictures, Filia Chen Studio and Lu Chen Studio. The Beijing TV Variety Channel intends to introduce this currently hotly hyped urban drama.
Emotional drama.
The last time Lu Chen came to Beijing TV to participate in the [Celebrity Interview] program, Zhu Shaotai had talked with Lu Chen face to face, and then they continued to negotiate about purchasing the premiere rights. However, the negotiating partner was changed to Qiande Films.
Qiande Pictures is not a big company in the industry, and "Blue Life and Death" is not a big IP or a big production. Of course, Zhu Shaotai cannot bargain with the other party in person, and the work tasks are all handed over to his subordinate, Xiao Zhang.
Zhu Shaotai still trusts Xiao Zhang's ability.
But today he seemed a little unclear about the situation, which made Director Zhu secretly annoyed.
Xiao Zhang quickly explained: "Director Zhu, I sent you the work report yesterday. Maybe there was a computer problem and you didn't receive it. Then I will go back and send another one right away!"
"Um?"
Zhu Shaotai was surprised. He quickly opened the internal mailbox and found the work email sent by Xiao Zhang.
It was his own mistake and negligence!
Director Zhu blushed, coughed and said: "Be careful next time, now that you are here, let's talk about the situation first!"
Xiao Zhang said: "Qiande Pictures has sold the premiere rights of "Blue Life and Death" to Haijin Satellite TV."
"Haijin Satellite TV?"
Director Zhu suddenly felt a bit of toothache: "How could it be Haijin TV?"
He knew that more than one TV station was interested in the new drama "Blue Life and Death", and the most powerful competitor was undoubtedly East Zhejiang TV Station, whose film and television drama channel was interested in introducing it.
It is easy to understand why East Zhejiang TV Station is interested in "Blue Love". In addition to the singing queen Filia Chen being the heroine, the main reason is that Lu Chen is from East Zhejiang, and he saved East Zhejiang last time in Hangzhou. Satellite TV host Tian Tian is extremely well-known in the province.
The first TV series he wrote and starred in can at least guarantee some ratings in the province.
But according to Zhu Shaotai's understanding, the price offered by Zhejiang East TV Station was not much higher than his own, and Qiande was not satisfied.
What the hell is Haijin TV?
Cheng Yaojin came out halfway? Zhu Shaotai was really a little confused, and he actually won the exclusive premiere right.
He couldn't help but ask: "What price can you offer over there?"
There was a bit of contempt in Director Zhu's question.
Although Jingcheng and Haijin are both municipalities directly under the Central Government, the status of the former has been much higher than that of the latter since ancient times. Haijin is equivalent to a city subordinate to Jingcheng. People in Beijing have a sense of superiority to the people of Haijin since ancient times.
Leaving aside the giant CCTV, Beijing Satellite TV has always been condescending to Haijin Satellite TV, and the latter basically does not exist in its eyes.
So now when Zhu Shaotai first heard that "Blue Life and Death" was censored by Haijin TV, he didn't believe it at first.
When did those guys from Haijin TV become so courageous?
Although Zhu Shaotai has no ambition to win "Blue Life and Death" and there really aren't too many dramas that he is rushing to send to Beijing TV Station, he still feels unhappy in his heart.
Xiao Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "Director Zhu, I don't know about that."
How could Qiande Pictures disclose the price of the transaction to him? This is considered a trade secret.
Confused!
Zhu Shaotai slapped his forehead and said, "I'll call and ask!"
The relationship between Haijin TV and Beijing TV is a bit like the relationship between Beijing TV and CCTV. The exchanges between the two parties are quite close. Several of the directors of Haijin TV came from Jingcheng TV.
Zhu Shaotai has acquaintances and old colleagues there. It's really not convenient to inquire about something.
He made this call for almost 10 minutes.
After the beating, my face looked gloomy and uncertain.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhang moved his butt uneasily, feeling a little unable to sit still.
When he first went to negotiate with Qiande Films as a representative of the variety show channel, he was more or less disapproving and never thought about the possibility of failure.
It is normal for variety show channels to offer low prices. However, Qiande Pictures' bargaining made Xiao Zhang very disdainful.
This TV series is nothing more than using Filia Chen’s name. Otherwise, how could a production unit like Qiande Pictures get under the radar of Beijing TV, let alone contact it proactively?
Now I have given Qiande Pictures a chance to cooperate. I still want to make a big profit. I don’t know what to say!
So during the negotiation process, Xiao Zhang deliberately delayed, waiting for his opponent to give in.
Even though he knew that Zhejiang TV Station was also involved in the competition.
As a result, I never expected that the first broadcast rights would be snatched away by Haijin TV Station.
He could completely understand his boss's displeasure.
Haijin Satellite TV actually dares to come to Beijing’s territory to grab food. It’s a bit too courageous!
I don't know what price they offered.
Xiao Zhang asked cautiously: "Director Zhu, what do you say over there?"
Zhu Shaotai glanced at him and sighed: "They offered a guaranteed purchase price of 6 million, and put it on a satellite TV station for the prime time premiere, and based on the national average ratings of 0.25%. Add 0.1% and add 100,000 rewards .”
"No limit!"
Xiao Zhang was stunned: "They really dare to drive!"
Zhu Shaotai was convinced.
The guaranteed base price of 6 million is a very normal price, which can also be obtained by Beijing TV Station itself.
But the first broadcast on satellite TV, coupled with the uncapped ratings reward, is really too much and simply shameless!
How could Dangdang Haijin TV be so hungry?
It was a new drama with a new cast, and the production unit wasn't very good either.
Zhu Shaotai was really speechless. In fact, Haijin TV didn't really sell much in this contract. The gambling agreement was about profits and losses. The main reason was that they were willing to lose face.
Beijing TV station will never do something so derogatory. It breaks the rules.
Zhu Shaotai said angrily: "The contract has been signed, forget it, we will find out after they suffer losses."
Xiao Zhang nodded vigorously: "Yes! They dare to think about the national average ratings of 0.25%. I guess this drama will be very good if it has 0.1%. They will be lucky if they can recover the cost!"
He was even aggrieved.
Qiande Pictures is also a fool. They sold this TV series to Haijin TV without thinking that if it could be broadcast on Beijing TV Variety Channel, it would be much easier to sell the rebroadcast rights. It is simply short-sighted.
For example, Ultron Pictures' weekend drama "Love in the City" can only be played on urban channels.
The ratings of urban channels are not as good as those of variety shows!
As for the ratings of Haijin TV, I can only wonder. Do they have any good programs?
Zhu Shaotai waved his hand and said: "Okay, if we don't talk about it, we won't talk about it. You don't have to take it to heart. Go back and work hard!"
Xiao Zhang quickly stood up and said, "Okay, Director Zhu, I'll go back first."
After Xiao Zhang left, Zhu Shaotai stuffed his body into the chair again. He always felt that something was wrong.
He thought for a while, opened the browser on his computer, and logged into Inspur Blog——
