Chapter 112 The Infernal Affairs of the TV Station
Ye Ming did verbally tell Xu Qing that they would prepare to start filming the second season of Flowers and Boys after the Olympic bid was completed, but after all, there was no real contract signed, right?
Therefore, if you want to be forced to participate in the filming, you must sign a contract first.
But just when Ye Mingxiang was about to call a few people to start signing the contract, Zhao Wei had already called: "Ye Ming, what's going on? Didn't you say that Hua'er and the Boy haven't started filming yet?
"
Ye Ming was a little stunned. He hesitated for three seconds, and then said with a very innocent expression: "Sister Weiwei, really, I didn't tell you that the filming of the second season of Flowers and Boys has really not started. If
If there is, it will be after the Olympic bid, and I will notify you in advance to start shooting."
Ye Ming has not decided when to start filming. Therefore, Xu Qing and Zhao Wei may accept invitations from other TV series and movies. After all, actors like them also have to eat. It is obviously unrealistic to wait for Ye Ming's schedule without filming.
of.
Therefore, Ye Ming has already made an agreement with them and will notify them in advance.
Zhao Wei immediately lost: "I just received a call from a friend, saying that Lychee Channel has started filming a travel variety show. The people on the directing team are Hua'er and Youth. It seems that they are called Celebrity's Vacation, which is also
A program about traveling to foreign countries.
Filming has already started. The original crew of "Flowers and Boys."
Flowers and Boys is a collaboration with Mango Channel, so Huihuang Film and Television is responsible for finding the actors, and Mango Channel is responsible for the film crew and everything else. Ye Ming has nothing to compete with for such a thing.
But when he heard Zhao Wei's words, Ye Ming was a little dumbfounded. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "I'm sure it hasn't started yet. I just made an agreement with the people over at Mango Channel to start filming the second episode of Flowers and Boys."
It’s the second season, and you know my current situation. I don’t want to be high-profile. Therefore, we don’t have any publicity, and we just plan to find everyone and start filming.
The film crew of Mango Channel went to Lychee Channel. There is a problem here. Could it be that the people from Mango Channel jumped to Lychee Channel?"
Jumping wealth, and jumping as a whole, is still rare in China, but Ye Ming later got used to it.
Therefore, it is not strange at all for something like this to happen.
Zhao Wei suddenly realized and said: "So that's what happened. I thought you had a falling out with the people on Mango Channel. Did you go to Lychee Channel to start a show?"
Ye Ming thought for a while and then said: "Sister Weiwei, don't worry about this. I'll go to Mango Terrace first to ask what's going on. I said that this guy Lao Zhou has been a little weird these past two days.
Even when I called you, I looked around and stopped chatting with me seriously. Relationships are like this. Mr. Ouyang should know about this situation."
It is difficult for anyone to explain clearly the matter of Mango Channel and Lychee Channel. Under such a situation, Ye Ming has already identified Zhou Qingsheng, the person in charge of the TV station of the program group. He is also the deputy director of Flowers and Boys.
He must have taken someone with him to change jobs.
At this time, Ye Ming was the first to call Ou Balcony and said: "Boss, your TV station's ideological work is not good enough. All of his subordinates are playing Infernal Affairs. Fortunately, we knew about it in advance. If we were
The filming has started here. If it has already been released over there, we will be stupid and passive. What is this guy Lao Zhou doing?"
In fact, Ye Ming and Ouyang Zhang were not polite. If there was a problem, just ask them directly.
Director Ouyang Yang was obviously very helpless and said: "Ye Ming, this matter is actually not something I can control. You also know that I am just the director of the economic channel in the TV station. Our TV station actually has its own boss.
.Zhou Qingsheng actually had some conflicts with the boss, and later the conflict became irreconcilable. Do you think the boss can let Zhou Qingsheng go?"
Having a conflict with your boss is basically an unsolvable matter in any group or company. What's more, in a state-owned unit like a TV station, you have to fight with your boss.
If the boss can't survive, it will only be a matter of time before he is dealt with at a time like this.
This kind of thing definitely doesn't happen once or twice in China, and Ye Ming is sure that it won't be the last time for Zhou Qingsheng.
At this moment, Ye Ming knocked on his mahogany desk very depressedly and said, "Isn't it because the bonus issue really broke out?"
Director Ou Balcony said in a smart tone: "I really made you guess. In fact, the ratings of Flowers and Boys are very high, ranking first among variety shows of the same type.
It is even said to be more than Happy Camp.
The leader has also said this before. If the ratings are high, there will be advertising commissions, right?"
Ye Ming also knew about this, so he nodded and said: "Yes, I also told the actors in our company to work hard in filming. If the ratings are high, I will give them bonuses. Sister Xu Qingpeipei and others, I also gave red envelopes.
Since this is something that has been said, it must be fulfilled, you guys; the leader is not saying that he has not fulfilled his promise, right?"
Although Ye Ming sometimes squeezes his employees quite hard, as a leader, he himself has said what kind of rewards will be given. As long as his actors complete the tasks, the rewards will be cashed immediately, and there will never be any sloppiness.
Is this also an important reason why Brilliant Films is so united? There are clear rewards and punishments. This is a rule that a company must abide by.
But the TV station is obviously not such a company. Under such circumstances, the people at the TV station are very constrained by the boss.
Anyway, I dare not say that the boss of the TV station is all-powerful inside the station. However, almost no one dares to question the boss. There is no doubt about this.
Director Ouyang Yang actually felt aggrieved because of Zhou Qingsheng and the others, but he still said: "What the boss did was wrong in this matter. However, on the TV station, I dare to confront the boss. Zhou Qingsheng is also really capable."
This program is said to have an advertising commission for the ratings. If it is indeed raised as agreed, then Zhou Qingsheng's salary is 280,000 yuan per person, and the minimum number of people in other column groups is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
The average is 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. You said that such a bonus is higher than the annual salary and bonus of a middle-level leader of the TV station. In such a situation, many people will be dissatisfied. You said,
How will this bonus be distributed?
If these are the bonuses for Flowers and Boys, then what should Happy Camp do at a time like this? What about other programs, news, sports, entertainment, etc., as well as the middle and senior leaders of the TV station?
What? These things actually put the leaders in a dilemma. Therefore, there is no way to really distribute the bonus."
If a person is capable, there is no problem, but if a person is capable of doing better than his own leader in his own unit, then in such a situation, this matter will become more difficult.
Therefore, regarding such a matter, the boss of Mango Station is indeed in a difficult position.
Ye Ming immediately understood the key, frowned and said: "The result of the bonus not being cashed is that Zhou Qingsheng changed jobs directly, right?"
In this matter, Ye Ming was actually shot while lying down. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Ye Ming, but in the end it still involved him. Because the copyright of this program is actually in the hands of Ye Ming, not in the hands of Ye Ming.
Over there at the TV station.
Director Ouyang Yang was very frustrated and said: "That's about right. In fact, Zhou Qingsheng didn't get a bonus. This can be made up for. As long as you listen to the leader. Then there is no big deal in such a matter.
Regarding a matter like this, the leader actually told Zhou Qingsheng that he could be given a salary at the deputy director level. By then, he would be considered a middle-level leader in the station. However, unexpectedly, a deputy director was parachuted in from above.
Think about it, Zhou Qingsheng couldn't bear the money he wanted, and the rights he wanted were taken away by airborne people. Can Zhou Qingsheng be willing to do this?"
In fact, if you really want to be promoted, there is no problem in not asking for bonuses. After all, in TV stations, people are crushed to death by the official level. Therefore, in such a situation, most people choose to ask for bonuses.
rights.
But if you ask for money and rights but they don’t give them, this is quite depressing. Zhou Qingsheng has been busy for a long time, but in the end he didn’t get anything. In such a situation, he can
It's strange to be willing.
Therefore, when asked a question like this, Ye Ming said helplessly: "Well, I didn't expect that I would encounter such a bullshit thing. So what do you think I should do now? I heard that over there at the Lychee Terrace
The filming of "Celebrity's Holiday" has already begun. This guy Lao Zhou is the director. It is a program completely based on the format of Flowers and Boys. In such a situation, there will be no trace of it in your station.
No action at all?"
Being boarded first, not only did the director of Ouyang Yang feel very depressed about this matter, but Ye Ming was actually even more depressed. This program was his own, but someone took it away. Lao Zhou was a bit unkind.
But in a sense, Ye Ming is also sympathetic to Lao Zhou. After all, in such a situation, Lao Zhou can be regarded as a victim, and of course he is also a betrayer.
Director Ou Yangtang said very firmly this time: "Actually, we just got the news, but Lychee Terrace and us are deadly rivals, and they have always wanted to surpass us. This time they saw the opportunity to poach us, and they have already said
The filming has started, and under such a situation, things will become more troublesome. Even if we sue him for infringement, it is impossible, because the copyright is in your hands, can you sue them?"
In fact, in such a situation, Ye Ming has also thought of suing, but now he knows that suing is definitely a matter of leisure. What kind of unit is Litchi Terrace? It is a state-owned unit. The current law is not
He is very sound, and it is not unusual for him to litigate with state-owned entities for a year or two. Therefore, even if he wins the lawsuit, the program has been broadcast for a long time.
As for this kind of lawsuit, even if Ye Ming wins, he won't get much money in compensation. Therefore, in such a situation, he is too lazy to do this.
Therefore, Ye Ming asked back: "Please, Mr. Ouyang Yang, do you think that even if I am Da Guansu and let me win, the show has probably already been filmed into the second and third seasons, and even if you say that I am
If I win the lawsuit, how much compensation can I get in a situation like this? The court basically treats this kind of lawsuit in a conciliatory manner, and I am too lazy to fight this lawsuit.
What method do you want to use, you won’t let Lao Zhou off easily, right?”
If Mango TV wants to sue Lychee TV, then such a thing would be interesting. After all, in such a situation, everyone is a state-owned unit, and the lawsuit is not their own money.
Two years is nothing, and three or five years can still be afforded. It’s business to business anyway, right? Therefore, if it is said that Mango Station will not deal with Lao Zhou, it is probably impossible.
If Mango Channel wouldn't let go of a traitor like Lao Zhou, who was a slap in the face, then under such circumstances, it would be impossible for them to claim to be the boss of local channels.
Therefore, Zhou Qingsheng must be punished, Ye Ming is sure of this. But the key is, what kind of end will this guy Zhou Qingsheng have.
The director of Ou Balcony was silent for a moment, as if he had something unspeakable, and finally said: "Didn't I just say that Zhou Qingsheng had a conflict with the boss, and the boss transferred him to the cultural company, you should understand this, right?
?”
Cultural company?
Any TV station usually has a similar company, which is considered the tertiary industry of the TV station.
People in this kind of company are usually assigned by the TV station, and they don't do well in the TV station, or they go to retire. Moreover, most of these people are contract workers, which are usually called temporary workers.
According to the idea of the boss of Mango Channel, if Lao Zhou dares to go against him, he will be punished as he deserves and go to a cultural company to stay, right?
When did you admit your mistake and when did you transfer this guy? What does it mean to be a temporary worker? It means that there is no guarantee in a TV station or a cultural company, but it also means that people can leave whenever they want without any restrictions. (
