There is no winter in the South, and there is always impetuousness in the air.
As soon as she got off the plane, Xiao Qian could smell the uneasiness in the air.
This is inevitable on the eve of return, and some people will always get lost.
Recalling the ups and downs in his previous life, he knew very well that the current uneasiness was just a foreshadowing.
He can't control these things, he just needs to do his part.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao, welcome to Xiangjiang. I am Qiu Rongwu, the person in charge of ATV Hong Kong."
There was already someone waiting at the airport. He was in his early thirties and in the prime of life. He smiled before he spoke, which made a good impression on people. What was rare was that his Mandarin was very standard and did not sound like a big tongue.
Xiao Qian shook hands with him and said with a smile: "With your surname, it's not easy to reach a high level in ATV."
Qiu Rongwu smiled heartily and did not feel dissatisfied.
"This Qiu is not that Qiu. Lin Sheng only looks at abilities, not surnames."
Before Lin Baixin, the boss of ATV was Qiu Degen. That's why Xiao Qian made such teasing, and Qiu Rongwu took it very well.
The copyright purchased by ATV this time is to be broadcast on local stations and targeted at local audiences.
"I have already reserved a room for you at W Hotel. We at ATV are fully responsible for your accommodation and food in Xiangjiang. You can just work and play as much as you like."
W Hotel is one of the top hotels in Hong Kong. It can be seen that ATV attaches great importance to this cooperation.
Under the guidance of Qiu Rongwu, the group got into the car and rushed to the hotel first.
W Hotel is located on Austin Road, Yau Tsim Mong, Kowloon, close to the MTR Kowloon Station. It is located in a prosperous area with convenient transportation, making it very convenient for Xiao Qian and others’ travel needs.
It was obvious that Qiu Rongwu had extraordinary intentions. He actually booked the seventy-sixth floor and above to provide accommodation for Xiao Qian and his party.
The terrace swimming pool on the 76th floor of W Hotel is one of the best in the world.
Through the glass wall, guests can swim and play while overlooking the entire bay and have a panoramic view of the prosperity of Xiangjiang.
While the people below were packing their bags, Qiu Rongwu led Xiao Qian to a secluded balcony. There were still many things to talk about.
"Mr. Xiao, after we played the trailer of "The Master of Tai Chi", we conducted a survey among the public. Citizens are very enthusiastic about this drama, and the rate of people planning to watch it is over 60%."
"It is our honor to be loved by the Hong Kong audience."
She didn't understand why Qiu Rongwu mentioned this, so Xiao Qian just responded with cliches to see what his purpose was.
Fortunately, Qiu Rongwu didn't want to play riddles with him and immediately expressed his thoughts.
"After careful research, we at ATV have unanimously determined that the film and television dramas produced by your company are of high quality and exciting content, far exceeding the works of the same era. So Lin Sheng asked me to propose to Mr. Xiao on his behalf, can we deepen our cooperation?"
After a pause, Qiu Rongwu said earnestly: "We at ATV want to buy the broadcast rights of "Shanghai Bund" and "Bao Qingtian"."
It turned out to be this, Xiao Qian was very happy.
"It is a good thing that these dramas can be broadcast in Hong Kong. Although the copyright owners of these two dramas are also Modu TV and Shonan TV, I believe they are also happy to facilitate this."
The copyrights of film and television dramas produced by Starlight Film and Television have always been shared with the broadcasting platform.
This is what Xiao Qian strongly requested and has always insisted on, which has brought huge benefits to Starlight Film and Television.
Originally, according to the strength of domestic television stations, such a method would not be allowed to exist. However, unable to withstand the increased strength of Starlight Film and Television, the television stations had no choice but to make concessions.
In the final analysis, it is because of the strength of Starlight Film and Television that it can bring massive benefits to those broadcast platforms.
"Shanghai on the Beach" was originally broadcast on Magic Channel. Today, it has brought a total revenue of more than 870 million to Magic Channel, ranking first among all film and television dramas on Magic Channel.
With "Bao Qingtian", Xiangnan Channel officially dominated the summer season, with advertising revenue exceeding 210 million. Including copyright revenue, the sales of audio and video products exceeded 1 billion.
The most jaw-dropping thing is CCTV.
Relying on its strong platform and audience, "Tai Chi Master" allowed CCTV to earn 2.1 billion in revenue, setting a new record in the history of Chinese film and television dramas.
It is thanks to these more brilliant achievements that Starlight Film and Television has gained a firm foothold in the industry and has the right to speak.
Xiao Qian agreed here, which means those broadcast platforms will also agree.
Initially, the influence of the film and television dramas produced by Starlight Films was limited to mainland China. However, due to the popularity of "Tai Chi Master", these previous works also began to attract attention from overseas.
The sales of cultural products have always been like this.
Take South Korea as an example.
After entering the 21st century, Korean culture began to expand overseas, gradually forming influence and becoming a trend.
As a result, with the growing influence of the Korean Wave in the new era, overseas audiences have increased their awareness and recognition of Korean pop culture in the 1990s and even the 1980s.
This is the cascading effect of cultural propaganda.
If China's entertainment and culture industry can have an effect in the world, then there will still be people willing to consume and accept the works shot in China before.
However, ATV's choice made Xiao Qian feel that it was not perfect.
"If ATV wants to buy the copyrights of "Shanghai Bund" and "Bao Qingtian", we can provide a package at a preferential price. If you buy "Shanghai Bund", "An Ning" and "Bao Qingtian" together, we can give you a 20% discount.
Reduction."
Qiu Rongwu's eyes lit up, and then he looked hesitant.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your kindness. It's just the content of "An Ning"..."
Xiao Qian looked directly at him, his eyes burning.
“What happened to the content of ‘Tranquility’?”
Qiu Rongwu is in this field and knows more about it.
"As far as I know, the content of "An Ning" is about mainland police. I am afraid that after such a plot is broadcast in Xiangjiang, it will arouse public reactions."
Xiao Qian scoffed and refused to give in.
"In other words, the story of the American police can be broadcast in Hong Kong, why can't the story of the mainland police?"
"this……"
Qiu Rongwu was stunned and could not say anything else.
Xiao Qian felt disgust in her heart and said directly: "Go back and tell Lin Sheng that if you don't buy "Tranquility", then "Shanghai Bund" and "Bao Qingtian" will not be sold separately by Starlight Film and Television. Not only do you have to buy it,
The number and duration of broadcast episodes must also be guaranteed, and the broadcast time must also be specific.”
Anyway, Starlight Film and Television has already made enough money. If these movies can be sold, they will make more money. If they cannot be sold, they will not lose anything.
What Xiao Qian cannot accept is the evil intentions of some people in Xiangjiang.
Now that he has the strength and the right to speak, he will not be polite to these people at all.
ATV is currently struggling to survive being forced by TVB, so it is counting on "Tai Chi Master" to make a comeback.
If "Tai Chi Master" really wins the battle this time, ATV will have no choice but to hold on to Starlight Video even tighter.
Xiao Qian had the advantage, so how could he be polite to them?
Not only that, he also wanted to let the other person taste the feeling of the sword against his throat.
"Tell Lin Sheng that the Ministry of Culture has a plan next year to introduce excellent film and television works from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Each provincial TV station has a quota. If ATV is interested, let's have a discussion."
In the previous life, the mainland had a very early history of introducing Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television dramas, almost starting in the late 1980s.
However, mainland China’s film and television policies are different this time, and Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television dramas have never been able to enter the mainland market.
For example, when Xiao Qian was a child in the previous life, especially during the Chinese New Year, even county-level TV stations would broadcast film and television dramas such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Shanghai Beach" in the afternoon, attracting countless audiences.
Maybe it’s because the martial arts culture in Hong Kong and Taiwan is not strong in this world, so the mainland is not interested in their film and television works, and there are extremely strict copyright law restrictions. Mainland audiences don’t even have the opportunity to watch pirated versions.
This time, the Ministry of Culture decided to relax restrictions and allocate quotas to cooperate with the return of Xiangjiang, intending to culturally integrate Xiangjiang into the big family of the motherland and fully enjoy the dividends of reform and opening up.
But Xiao Qian understands better the virtues of these people and how he can easily let them get their way.
Regardless of his current status, this policy can really change the content and affect the results with just a few words.
If ATV disobeys this time, he guarantees that none of ATV's productions will be able to enter the mainland next year.
Sure enough, when he heard that mainland China was planning to introduce film and television works, Qiu Rongwu's eyes lit up and he became restless with excitement.
Xiao Qian's threat is real, but the temptation of the mainland market is also real.
Compared with Hong Kong’s rich cultural consumption market, the mainland is obviously larger.
Before the television industry, Xiangjiang's film industry had already entered the mainland market and made a lot of money.
The TV industry is jealous and has been negotiating with the mainland in the hope of relaxing restrictions.
We were originally going to have some ideas, but it just happened to coincide with the reform of the academy and the establishment of the Ministry of Culture, so these matters were delayed.
The TV industry in Xiangjiang lamented and lamented, but they had no choice but to think that this matter would be shelved.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qian revealed the truth here, and only ATV learned about it first.
Qiu Rongwu understood the value very well, but he also felt Xiao Qian's determination to promote "An Ning" and immediately knew what he should do.
"Mr. Xiao, don't worry, I will report to Lin Sheng when I get back. Please be busy these days. We will do our best to prepare for the press conference then."
Qiu Rongwu said goodbye and hurried away. Xiao Qianan sat comfortably, overlooking the prosperity of Xiangjiang outside the glass wall, and the whole world seemed to be in his hands.
