In the evening, Su Wang was alone in a restaurant waiting for Li Bo, because Tang Jin was dragged away by Tang Xin. Tang Xin used the excuse of the two sisters to whisper something and took Tang Jin away.
"Brother Li, this way!"
Seeing Li Bo walk into the door, Su Wang waved.
"Xiao Su, I'm so sorry. The actors were always ungrateful in the afternoon scenes, which delayed the time until now."
"It's okay. It's just a good time to eat. Brother Li, what do you want to eat?"
Su Wang handed the menu to Li Bo, and Li Bo ordered one or two dishes, all of which were vegetarian. Su Wang smiled when he saw this, and handed over the several dishes he had ordered before, including the dishes Li Bo ordered, to the waiter.
.
"Xiao Su, what's the reason for your date with me?"
If Li Bo had never experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, he would have felt that the other party really wanted to be his friend when someone invited him to dinner. But now he understands that unless you are a relative or friend, no one will treat you to dinner for no reason.
"There is something I want to discuss with Brother Li. Now that Brother Li has resigned, has he considered his future plans?"
Su Wang didn't hide it either, but Li Bo was stunned when he heard Su Wang's words, future plans?
When he first resigned, he was full of confidence in his future. He made several plans and submitted resumes to other TV stations. He believed that his talents would definitely be recognized.
But reality gave him a heavy slap in the face. No other TV station showed interest in him. The reason is very simple. The TV station is a public institution.
Public institutions generally rarely recruit external personnel. They mostly recruit fresh graduate interns and then train them step by step, unless they are well-known hosts or famous program planners.
Li Bo obviously has not reached this level yet.
"Let's survive first. After all, we still have a family to support." Li Bo replied truthfully.
"I appreciate Brother Li's talent. I think Brother Li would be underestimating his talent if you were to be the executive director. I just have a music show recently and I want to invite Brother Li to be the planner."
"Music program?"
Li Bo's expression was a little strange. This little brother Su looked like a high school student. He should be at the stage of school at this age, and he should not be able to compete with producing music programs.
"Well, it's a brand new music talent show that is completely different from the current one. I'm very confident about this show. But to be honest with you, Brother Li, I'm about to start school and I don't have that much time and energy to plan. I have to
I need to find someone knowledgeable to help me operate."
Su Wang looked at Li Bo. He had no doubt about the popularity of the program The Voice. If he wanted to, he could contact the TV station. He believed that some TV station would see the potential of this program and be willing to film it.
However, there are several considerable risks involved. First of all, the first issue is the ownership of the program copyright. When discussing program cooperation with a TV station, the TV station is always the stronger party, and Su Wang knows how valuable the copyright of the program The Voice is.
, he will never give it.
The second point is that I am not an insider after all, and I don’t understand some of the tricks in the television industry, so I need someone who knows the industry.
The third point is that Li Bo's background is very clean. Unlike some planners of the TV station, who knows which leader is standing behind him. When working with those planners, Su Wang is not sure that he can control the other party.
But Li Bo is different. Li Bo has already resigned from the TV station. He has no backer. If he wants to make a comeback, he can only rely on his own help. Naturally, he doesn't care too much about the right to speak.
"Brother Su, do you know how much it costs to produce a music program?"
"I understand this. Brother Li, you don't need to worry about the financial issues. I just need Brother Li to negotiate with the TV station on my behalf."
Li Bo was not stupid. He heard something from Su Wang's words and his expression was a little shocked. "You want to cooperate with the TV station to produce a music program."
At this time, the major TV stations still accounted for the mainstream ratings, so they had a great say. Generally, TV stations invested in programs. Of course, the final profits also went to the TV stations.
Take the most popular talent show on Mango TV. Although there is an entertainment company cooperating with it, all that the entertainment company enjoys is secretly manipulating the rankings of the contestants.
To put it bluntly, entertainment companies need to introduce new talents so that they can gain attention, while TV stations need ratings and advertising revenue, but what Su Wang told him was that he wanted to take the advertising revenue and only give the TV station ratings.
"I'm afraid this will be difficult, unless the ratings of this show can be really high."
Li Bo shook his head. He knew very well that the leaders of the TV station were pursuing ratings. Firstly, they could complete the assessment tasks, but more importantly, high ratings meant high advertising sponsorship fees.
"Is it artificial? After all, the production cost of this music program is huge. I believe some TV stations will agree to it. Of course, second-tier TV stations are not among our considerations."
"It's huge. Brother Su, can you explain it to me?"
"The cost will be around 100 million."
Li Bo's hand shook, and a piece of braised pork fell from the chopsticks and fell on the table. However, he didn't care about it anymore and stared at Su Wang, "Is it really 100 million?"
"Just a little more!"
Su Wang nodded and assured that he knew very well where the most expensive part of the program The Voice was, and that was the cost of inviting instructors.
Good Voice is popular because the four instructors all have a high status in the Chinese music scene. If you want to hire instructors of that level, you have to spend real money. How can you discover outstanding new music talents so that the Chinese music scene can get more success?
What fresh blood, this is pure nonsense.
If the money is not enough, will those tutors put down their dignity and stage all kinds of dramas to steal people?
Without this kind of drama to grab people, although The Voice will become popular, it will never reach the level where everyone knows it.
Li Bo was silent for a moment. He was at war with heaven and man in his heart. Although he had put down his posture because of life, it was undeniable that he still had the dream of making a popular music show in his heart.
"Brother Su, I take the liberty to ask, what do you do?"
Hearing Li Bo's words, Su Wang smiled. He knew what Li Bo meant. He was a little doubtful about what he said. After all, 100 million was not a small amount. He was just a student. Where could he come up with this?
money.
Just when Su Wang was about to explain, a sudden voice came from the direction of the door.
"Isn't this Lao Li?"
Several figures walked in at the door of the restaurant, and when Li Bo saw these figures, his expression changed.
"Well, Lao Li, the director said he would have a dinner today and called you out. It's good for you. He said he was sick and couldn't attend. But looking at you now, you don't look like a sick person. Could it be that in your eyes, the director's
Don’t you want to give me any face?”
Looking at Chen Qing who spoke in a strange manner, Li Bo knew that the other party did this on purpose. From the day he joined the crew, Chen Qing had not had a good look towards him.
Li Bo didn't know the reason at first, but he later found out the reason from the veteran employees of the crew.
Chen Qing is the actor coordinator of the crew, who is responsible for selecting actors. A play cannot only have the leading role, but also some supporting roles, and the director will not personally select these actors. After talking about the general requirements and conditions,
Just leave it to the person in charge of actor coordination.
Therefore, those who can serve as actor coordinators are close confidants of the director. Chen Qing has followed the director for many years. This time when the project was launched, Chen Qing originally wanted to recommend one of his relatives to be the executive director, but he was robbed of the position.
, naturally he will not give himself a good look.
"Director Wang, I..."
Li Bo wanted to explain that in the crew, if there is no backer and the director is offended, it means he is about to get out.
What Li Bo didn't expect was that there was no angry expression on Director Wang's face. Instead, he walked towards this side with a smile. As soon as he opened his mouth, Director Wang interrupted him.
"Chen Qing, what are you talking about? Everyone has their own private affairs. I am not a person who doesn't distinguish between public and private matters. People like Li Bo who work hard at work will give me the greatest face."
Director Wang's words stunned several people around him, as well as Chen Qing and Li Bo. Director Wang is not such a generous person. When did he become so reasonable and easy to talk to?
But soon they found out why.
"Hello, Mr. Su, I was sitting down there at the opening ceremony the day before yesterday. I didn't expect to see you again so soon. I'm glad to meet you."
Su Wang looked at Director Wang. He had no impression in his mind. To be honest, there were hundreds of people at the opening ceremony the day before yesterday, and there were cameras pointed at the rostrum. He kept his eyes fixed. Except for the first person, there were no other people below.
The faces in the second row were somewhat familiar, but the others didn't remember them at all.
Obviously, Director Wang is not sitting in the first or second row, which means that Director Wang can only be regarded as a third-rate director at best.
In fact, Su Wang's guess was correct. Director Wang was a third-rate director. He had been following a certain director for more than ten years. This year, he finally managed to get investment to become a director himself, and the total investment was only five million.
.
After shaking hands and saying a few polite words, Director Wang was also a thoughtful person. He saw that Su Wang had something to discuss with Li Bo, so he said goodbye.
Seeing Director Wang's meaningful smile to him before he left, and seeing Su Wang sitting in his seat without even standing up, Li Bo made a decision in his heart.
"Su...Mr. Su, I agree."
Li Bo no longer wanted to get to the bottom of it. He understood that this was his last chance. If he didn't seize it, he might have to live like this for the rest of his life. Maybe he would be lucky one day in the future, but who knows?
How many years later was it?
"Brother Li, you will be happy with your choice today."
Su Wang smiled, the appearance of Director Wang was a good thing, at least he didn't have to explain much.
Although he has a good impression of Li Bo and feels that Li Bo is a suitable candidate, suitability does not mean the only one. If Li Bo is hesitant, he will have no choice but to replace him.
From this aspect, Su Wang felt that Li Bo would have to thank Director Wang in the future.
