Since "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was aired on Mango Channel, the ratings have set a domestic TV series record for the entire year.
So much so that during the continuous broadcast, the advertising fees during prime time reached tens of millions!
Director Jiang was previously worried that the copyright fee for "Sword and Fairy" was too high, but less than half of it was broadcast and all the costs were repaid!
The TV station also made a lot of money for this!
Director Jiang now worships Li Yike as the God of Wealth.
Because of his joining, the variety show "Singer" attracted nationwide attention, and because of his performance, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" became a drama known to all ages.
So basically when Li Yi calls, Director Jiang will answer the call within three seconds.
"Hello, Teacher Li Yi, hello, hello." Director Jiang was holding an all-staff meeting at the TV station when he received Li Yi's call.
Just when he was about to talk about the most critical point, he saw Li Yi's address book light up on the screen of his mobile phone.
He immediately stopped what he was doing and connected.
Nearly a hundred employees in the audience looked at him, all wondering whose phone call could make Director Jiang so interested.
When the employees heard the words Teacher Li Yi, they all understood everything.
On Mango Channel, Li Yi is the guarantee of ratings, the backbone of the program, and the spiritual leader of the station.
Li Yi first said: "Director Jiang, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Director Jiang looked at the employees below and said immediately: "No, no, why bother?"
Li Yi didn't waste any time and said directly: "It's like this. I have a very good variety show script and idea, and I plan to give it to the TV station to give it a try. I wonder if Director Jiang is interested?"
As soon as Director Jiang heard that there was no problem with the type of variety show, he immediately said: "Of course, Teacher Li Yi, when are you free, I will ask someone to pick you up personally?"
"You're too polite. Let's do this. I'll take some time to go to Xiangtan tomorrow. I haven't eaten your snacks for a long time." Li Yile laughed.
"Okay, okay, I'll have someone waiting for you outside the airport then, don't worry." Director Jiang said immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Director Jiang was very excited.
Not to mention how good Li Yi's variety show script is, whether it fits the current genre of Mango Channel, just because Li Yi contacted him in the first place, Director Jiang feels that this kind of kindness is very rare and valuable.
He put down his mobile phone, looked at the employees in the audience, smiled and said to everyone: "Okay, let's continue... What I just talked about was the sixth part of the fourth section of the third point, right.
....."
Li Yi went to Guoke Film and Television, and he handed the script of "The Birth of an Actor" to Chen Yanyu.
Chen Yanyu looked at it, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She said excitedly: "Did you create this yourself?"
"That's right." Li Yi still answered vaguely.
The last script of "Train to Busan" already made Chen Yanyu look at Li Yi with admiration. She never thought that she would write a variety show script!
This surprised her.
"Are you planning to go to Mango Channel to discuss the copyright of this program with them?" Chen Yanyu asked Li Yi.
Li Yi nodded: "This variety show can let everyone better understand the profession of actors and let them know that we are not actors, but a serious job."
After hearing this, Chen Yanyu smiled and said, "You don't look like an actor, but you do want to be a little bastard."
She asked more about the filming progress of "Train to Busan". After learning that nearly one-third of the plot had been filmed, Chen Yanyu was very surprised.
"Why did it happen so quickly? I didn't expect to get there until next week."
Li Yi explained: "Thanks to the fact that you hired those dance teachers to train the actors so that they can embody the most realistic zombie forms as much as possible, so basically we don't have NG lenses."
Chen Yanyu couldn't help but applaud and praised: "Sure enough, you have the foresight and know how to prepare and practice in advance. Then please pay attention to safety when you go to Xiangtan."
After Li Yi left the company, he returned home.
Song Yingying learned that he was going to Xiangtan tomorrow, so she yelled that he would bring back some local specialties.
Since the end of "Singer", Song Yingying has often talked about the delicious food in Xiangtan and often buys some local specialties online.
But every time after eating it, she always felt that it was not tasty enough or authentic enough.
This time Li Yi went to Xiangtan, Song Yingying gave a fatal order to fill the entire suitcase!
Early the next morning, Liu Hong drove Li Yi to the airport.
This time, Liu Hong followed him to Xiangtan.
When the plane landed at Changsha Airport, the TV station staff had already been waiting outside the airport.
"Teacher Li Yi, hello, hello." A young man in a suit came to pick him up.
"Hello, Xiao Ge." Li Yi greeted him with a smile.
Li Yi got to know this young man when he was recording "Singer" before.
Xiaoge is smart and capable. As an ordinary employee of the TV station, he can conscientiously do everything assigned by the leader every time.
This time, in order to pick up Li Yi on time, he waited at the airport early.
After Li Yi got in the car, Xiao Ge got into the driver's seat and said to Li Yi: "Teacher Li Yi, let's go to the TV station right now."
Li Yi nodded, smiled and said: "Okay."
Along the way, the two chatted.
"Xiao Ge, including this time, how many times have you picked me up in total?" Li Yi asked deliberately.
Xiaoge answered without hesitation: "Five times."
Li Yi then asked: "Do you remember it so clearly?"
"Yeah, it's because it's my honor to pick up Teacher Li Yi." Xiao Ge laughed happily: "I am a loyal fan of Teacher Li Yi."
Li Yi didn't say anything, but continued to ask: "Is there room for promotion in the TV station?"
"Basically not. After all, the level of our TV station is basically fixed. Employees like us can only be employees, hahaha."
Xiaoge's last laugh sounded breezy, but it was more helpless.
Li Yi took out paper and pen, wrote down a phone number, then put it in front of him and said: "This is my phone number. If you are interested, come to Hangzhou for development and I will arrange it for you."
Xiao Ge didn't expect that Li Yi would take the initiative to invite him to Hangzhou?!
He was very happy, but at the same time he declined politely: "Thank you, Teacher Li Yi, how about I... I'll do it first, and when I want to go out and try my luck, I'll find you."
"Okay, it's okay."
Not long after, the TV station arrived.
Li Yi got out of the car, and Liu Hong beside him helped hold the document bag.
After Liu Hong saw Xiaoge parking the car, he asked beside Li Yi: "Does Mr. Li Yi want to poach him to find another job?"
Li Yi nodded and asked Liu Hong: "Brother Hong, do you know why I want to poach him?"
Liu Hong thought for a while and said: "He is very careful and conscientious in his work and is a good employee."
"Yes." Li Yi smiled, "I didn't expect that he could remember it so clearly. He could tell me that he picked me up five times at once. Such a person cannot stay in the TV station for a lifetime. It will kill his spirit."
"But...he declined." Liu Hong said.
Li Yi shook his head, "It's not that he declined, he just didn't accept the fact that I invited him for a while. Don't worry, he is not the kind of person who is willing to accept the status quo. It won't be long before he goes to work at Guoke Film and Television."
Liu Hong couldn't help but smile after hearing Li Yi's words.
The young man in front of me was obviously a round younger than him, but he was so rich that he was able to thrive in this mixed entertainment circle.
The two of them had just entered the TV station.
Director Jiang was waiting in the hall. As soon as he saw Li Yi, he immediately greeted him.
"Teacher Li Yi, hello, hello." Director Jiang said cheerfully.
Li Yi shook hands and said, "Hello, Director Jiang."
"Come on, please come with me." Director Jiang led Li Yi into the VIP room.
Li Yi raised his eyes and looked at the tabletop, which was filled with snacks and tea sets.
"What kind of tea does Teacher Li Yi like to drink? I'll let someone make it right now." Director Jiang held several bags of tea and said, "I have Pu'er, Biluochun, Longjing, black tea..."
Seeing that Director Jiang was too enthusiastic, Li Yi said, "Director Jiang, do you have boiled water?"
Director Jiang was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, enough!"
At this time, Li Yi took out a document from the document bag and handed it to Director Jiang.
Director Jiang knew that this was the variety show copy Li Yi had mentioned before, so he immediately opened it and looked at it.
It can be said that Director Jiang read every word in this copy very carefully.
As he read, he took notes beside him.
Time passes minute by minute.
An hour has passed in the blink of an eye, but Director Jiang is still reading patiently.
Li Yi was not in a hurry. He drank water, ate snacks, and checked Weibo from time to time.
Suddenly, a cell phone vibration broke the tranquility.
Only then did Director Jiang realize that he had been watching for more than an hour!
He immediately apologized to Li Yi and said, "I'm sorry, Teacher Li Yi. I accidentally watched it for more than an hour. I'm really sorry."
Li Yi smiled and said: "This shows that my program is very creative and Director Jiang is deeply involved in it."
Director Jiang nodded, admitting that the creative writing of this variety show was really great.
He asked Li Yi: "Then who wrote this script?"
"The copyright belongs to Guoke Film and Television." Li Yi answered simply.
When Director Jiang heard this, he became happy: "I never thought we would be cooperating again this time, Teacher Li Yi."
When Li Yi heard this, he was a little curious, "What does Director Jiang mean by this?"
"We will buy the copyright of your program and invite you to participate in the program "The Birth of an Actor." Director Jiang said solemnly.
Li Yi was very surprised, "But we haven't discussed the price yet?"
"No matter how much it costs, we will definitely have Mango Taiwan Railway!"
"We encountered copyright issues with our previous recording of "Sing Anymore Season 3". We only signed a contract for two years of copyright at the beginning, and then we thought that the copyright owner would agree to renew the contract. We started preparing for this year's copyright before it was finalized.
Season 3.”
"Who would have thought that the copyright owner would suddenly go back on his word and want to increase the copyright fee!"
Director Jiang cursed and said: "Now I unilaterally declare that I will not play with them anymore, so Teacher Li Yi, no matter how much you pay for the copyright, our Mango Channel will buy it!"
