Chapter 398: The gap and cooperation with CCTV (4000+ chapters~)
Like many newlyweds in later generations, or couples having children for the first time, they had little autonomy when it came to setting out the full moon drinks.
So before Wu Jianye finished talking to his mother, mother-in-law, and father-in-law, he was already being refuted.
In the end, Wu Jianye settled the matter by setting up a few tables in the courtyard.
And with the end of Wu Nianyi's full moon, Wu Jianye and Zhu Xie finally escaped from the misery of confinement meal.
Wu Jianye came to Shichahai Sports School, where Liang Jiahui, Li Lianjie, Zhang Manyu, He Qing and others had already started training here.
"Director Wu, you're here!" After everyone saw Wu Jianye, they stopped what they were doing and walked over.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Don't worry about me, I'm here to exercise." After speaking, he patted his belly and said with a smile: "Lose weight by the way!"
"It seems that the food at Director Wu's house is good!" Cheng Xiaodong said with a smile.
"Hey, don't mention it." Wu Jianye smiled bitterly. The food at home was indeed good before, but this month...
Standing next to Li Lianjie was an old man about fifty years old but strong in spirit.
"Director Wu, this is my teacher, Wu Bin, the leader of the martial arts team!"
"Hello Captain Wu, thank you for training so many outstanding martial arts athletes!" Wu Jianye smiled and shook hands with him.
Later, when Sunglasses King was filming "The Grandmaster", Wu Bin was the general consultant of martial arts. Li Lianjie, Zhen Zidan, Wu Gen, Huang Hayan, etc. were all his students.
"Haha, our martial arts team would also like to thank Director Wu for donating training clothes and training equipment." Wu Bin also said with a smile.
Wu Jianye borrowed the martial arts team's training venue this time, so naturally he couldn't use it in vain.
"Director Wu, you're here!" At this time, a teenage boy ran over.
"Wu Gan is here too, how are you doing lately?" Wu Jianye asked with a smile.
Wu Gan was wearing a white shorts jacket and said with a smile: "It's pretty good."
"Train well and strive to win glory for the country like your senior brother!" Wu Jianye encouraged.
"Um!"
.......
After chatting with everyone for a while, Wu Jianye also changed into shorts and started training with the crew.
However, since Wu Jianye hadn’t exercised for a long time, he mainly focused on restorative training at the beginning.
"Director Wu, your kung fu is mainly based on northern martial arts!" Cheng Xiaodong watched Wu Jianye's training for a while and asked with a smile.
Wu Jianye wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Yes, when I was young, I was willing to learn from the elders in the village when I had nothing to do at home. But I am just practicing blindly, and I am definitely no match for professionals like you!
"
Li Lianjie sighed at the side: "I used to hear people say that small hermits hide in the wild and big hermits hide in the city. At that time, I didn't take it seriously. But then I was young and energetic. I heard that there were many masters in Yanzhao, so I
Where have you gone to challenge?”
Wu Jianye asked with a smile: "What's the result?"
Li Lianjie's face turned slightly red, and Wu Bin next to him laughed: "What else can happen? A sixty or seventy-year-old man subdued Ajie with a simple push."
Wu Jianye asked in surprise: "So powerful?"
Wu Bin nodded and said: "Yes, those people are the real masters. Unlike us, they all practice routines."
"By the way, I heard that Director Wu has a friend who is the successor of Dai's Xinyi Quan?"
Wu Jianye nodded: "Yes, if Captain Wu has an idea, I can ask him to come to the martial arts team to compete with everyone!"
Wu Bin didn't need to explain clearly, Wu Jianye knew what he meant.
Sure enough, Wu Bin smiled: "That's great!"
.......
In the following days, Wu Jianye would go to the martial arts team to practice for a while every afternoon. The main idea was to understand the actor's training and lose weight.
But then something happened that stopped Wu Jianye's training.
"Recently, CCTV has a lot of opinions on your court culture!"
Sitting in the living room of Qian Wenjie's house, Qian Wenjie looked at Wu Jianye with some worry.
"Is it because of the copyright issues of "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West"?" Wu Jianye thought for a while, and the possible conflicts between him and CCTV should be limited to the copyright of these two TV series.
Qian Wenjie nodded and said with a heavy expression: "Yes, although we have discussed this matter in a meeting before, with the popularity of "Dream of Red Mansions" on ATV and the sale of Southeast Asian copyrights, the huge benefits still make
Some people have some bad thoughts again."
"Dream of Red Mansions" has been broadcast, but the sensation it caused has not been eliminated, so even though it has been more than a month, the domestic discussion about this TV series has not ended.
At the same time, the overseas rights of "Dream of Red Mansions" have also been sold by ATV.
The broadcast rights of RB alone were sold for HK$5 million in copyright fees. Adding in the copyright fees of other countries in Southeast Asia, "Dream of Red Mansions" sold a total of HK$1.8 million!
If calculated according to the current official exchange rate, it is almost 4.8 million RMB. The original investment of Tangting Culture was only 2 million. How could such a profit ratio not make CCTV jealous and jealous?
This does not include the sales of the "Dream of Red Mansions" video tape.
"What do you mean, Aunt Qian?" Wu Jianye asked.
Qian Wenjie replied: "It's better for you to make your own decision. This is a matter of your court culture. In addition, my status is a bit special, so it's not convenient for me to give you any advice, but you can just set a standard for yourself!"
"What standard?"
"Your attitude towards CCTV!" Qian Wenjie said with a smile.
Wu Jianye understood that what Qian Wenjie meant was that if she didn't care about CCTV's attitude, then she didn't need to treat this matter as an issue. After all, according to Wu Jianye's current influence, even if CCTV wanted to target Wu Jianye
Ye also has to think carefully about the consequences.
But if Wu Jianye values CCTV, then the matter can be solved. It is just Wu Jianye offering some benefits to make CCTV look better.
"Thank you, Aunt Qian, I know what to do!"
"Um!"
"By the way, Aunt Qian, Tangting Culture is planning to film a TV series in the second half of this year. I wonder if CCTV is interested in participating."
As for the overseas interests of "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West", Wu Jianye is not prepared to give them up. This is not because Wu Jianye is stingy, but because he simply does not want to be controlled by CCTV. CCTV cannot do whatever it wants.
This will lead to an unequal relationship between the two parties in future cooperation.
But Wu Jianye didn't intend to have a dispute with CCTV.
You may not be able to tell how influential CCTV is now, but by the 1990s, CCTV's influence will exceed everyone's imagination.
This not only includes the broadcasting of TV series and movies, but as time goes by, the advertising effect will become more and more powerful. What Wu Jianye is doing now is just to erase the possible rift with CCTV in advance.
At the same time, we are deepening cooperation between the two parties.
Never think about doing business alone, as it will not last long. Only the more people participate, the stronger the business will be.
However, this kind of cooperation also requires strategy. As mentioned just now, we cannot let CCTV do whatever it wants!
Only by using other interests to shift the focus of CCTV and at the same time showing the ability to embody Tangting culture will CCTV be inseparable from itself and unable to control itself.
.......
"Have you two been busy lately?"
Zheng Xiaolong and Zhao Baogang were called to Tangting Culture by Wu Jianye. When they heard Wu Jianye ask this question, their eyes immediately lit up.
"It's okay. What good thing is this, Teacher Wu? Are you thinking of our two brothers?"
"It is indeed a good thing. Tangting Culture wants to cooperate with CCTV to shoot a TV series. I wonder if you two are interested." Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Zheng Xiaolong was slightly startled: "Didn't Tangting Culture shoot TV series by itself in the past and then sell them to CCTV and several major TV stations? Why are you thinking of cooperating with CCTV now?"
Wu Jianye glanced at Zheng Xiaolong with a smile: "Don't you know the reason?"
Zheng Xiaolong was stunned for a moment, then showed an awkward smile: "I thought you didn't care about CCTV!"
Zheng Xiaolong indeed thinks so. With the popularity of TV series such as "I Love My Family" and "Dream of Red Mansions", as well as "Journey to the West" that will be broadcast next year, Tangting Culture has already been established on domestic TV stations.
It has a certain influence. Even if it does not cooperate with CCTV, Tangting Culture does not lack cooperation with TV stations!
Wu Jianye: "How is it possible? As the largest TV station in China, CCTV's influence will only grow in the future. Maintaining a close cooperative relationship with CCTV has always been the task of Tangting Culture."
Zhao Baogang did not think as much as Zheng Xiaolong thought. As the deputy production director of the TV Drama Center, Zheng Xiaolong will definitely not participate in the specific filming of the TV series. Now that Wu Jianye has called him here, he must be preparing to work with him.
Just like "I Love My Family", I let myself be the director.
"Is this also a sitcom?" Zhao Baogang asked.
"It's almost the same, but it's not a comedy, it's an indoor life drama!" Wu Jianye said.
"What did CCTV say?" Zheng Xiaolong asked.
Although Zheng Xiaolong is only the deputy director, he is actually in charge of the filming of the TV series. Now he wants to shoot a TV series in Yanjing. Without Zheng Xiaolong's nod, it will definitely be impossible to shoot.
However, this matter itself is a game between Tangting Culture and CCTV, and Zheng Xiaolong's status is still slightly insufficient.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "CCTV has already agreed!"
After listening to Wu Jianye's description, Qian Wenjie immediately took Wu Jianye's words to find the senior leader of CCTV. The senior leader originally heard that Wu Jianye did not want to show "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West"
》When you receive some benefits, you will naturally feel dissatisfied.
But when he heard what Wu Jianye told Qian Wenjie, he changed his attention and decided to see if things were really as Wu Jianye said.
"This TV series will cause a crowd-pleased scene in China. If it fails to do so, Tangting Culture will be willing to discuss the overseas interests of "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West" with CCTV."
Since the gap is caused by interests, then directly use interests to fill the gap. There is nothing more appropriate than this.
"Since CCTV has agreed, we naturally have no objections. Which director are you going to use for this TV series?" Zheng Xiaolong asked, deliberately not looking at Zhao Baogang.
"Use which..." Zhao Baogang said anxiously, but was interrupted by Wu Jianye.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Do you have any good recommendations?" Wu Jianye also refused to visit Zhao Baogang.
Zheng Xiaolong pretended to be thoughtful for a while and said: "I think Hu Mei is quite good. She filmed "Daughter House" before and "The Last Emperor" which was directed by you as an assistant director. They were both very good."
Wu Jianye nodded: "I think it's pretty good. How about giving her a call now?"
Zheng Xiaolong: "Okay, I'll call her now!"
After saying that, Zheng Xiaolong came out as if he was about to make a phone call.
"You..." Zhao Baogang looked at Wu Jianye and Zheng Xiaolong with a red face.
"Ha ha!"
The two of them couldn't help but laugh when they saw Zhao Baogang's furious look.
"If you film this TV series, the director position of "I Love My Family" will have to be given up!" Wu Jianye said.
"I Love My Family" has been filmed for its third season. Although there has never been a TV series of this format in China, "I Love My Family" has long since become a sitcom of domestic phenomenon.
Every year when "I Love My Family" is broadcast, it is something that audiences across the country look forward to, and Mr. Jia and his family have become pistachios across the country.
As the director of this TV series, Zhao Baogang has already gained a certain reputation in the domestic TV series circle.
Zhao Baogang said with a smile: "Just change it. This TV series has already fixed its image. In fact, from now on, we just need to continue filming according to the current rhythm. I also want to change the challenge!"
Wu Jianye nodded, "Okay then, I will leave this TV series to you. As before, you will choose the actors yourself. Tangting Culture has already negotiated with CCTV about the actors."
An empty house has already given CCTV a certain level of expectation.
Moreover, Wu Jianye compared this TV series with "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West", which further increased CCTV's determination.
Zheng Xiaolong asked: "How much are you planning to invest in this TV series?"
Wu Jianye said: "900,000, Tangting Culture contributed 800,000, and CCTV gave a symbolic contribution of 100,000! The profit share received is 50% for each family!"
Zheng Xiaolong looked at Wu Jianye in confusion.
"Don't worry, I'm not so generous as to give CCTV money in vain."
As for why Tang Ting Culture is so generous, it is actually very simple. That is, Wu Jianye is still preparing to use the influence of this TV series to promote the products of his other companies.
Then Wu Jianye took out a stack of scripts from his safe, handed them to Zhao Baogang, and said, "This is the script for this TV series. You can take it back and study it yourself."
Zhao Baogang took a look at the script and saw the word "Desire" written on it!
