Director Ouyang had a lot of prestige, and he always kept his word. Once he agreed, the other two deputy directors didn't dare to say anything.
After all, at this critical moment, they couldn't afford to offend Director Ouyang.
After Chen Zhan got the authorization, he wanted to look for Xiao Yunhai to talk about the copyright.
The idea of the show was dictated by Xiao Yunhai, and Chen Zhan took notes. Legally, the copyright of the show was in Xiao Yunhai's hands.
So, if Chen Zhan wanted to put "The Voice of Hua Xia" on the screen, he had to get Xiao Yunhai's written authorization.
Even though Chen Zhan was Xiao Yunhai's uncle, he didn't have the right to make decisions for Xiao Yunhai.
Hearing Chen Zhan's words, Xiao Yunhai was stunned.
When he told his uncle about the idea of "The Voice of Hua Xia," Xiao Yunhai just wanted to help. He didn't want to get any copyright fees from it.
However, Xiao Yunhai wasn't a fool. He naturally wouldn't reveal his true intentions in front of so many people. He said, "Okay, let's find a place to talk."
After saying goodbye to He Feng and the others, Xiao Yunhai and his team followed Chen Zhan to a restaurant that looked like a courtyard house.
On the way, Xiao Yunhai asked about the matter. Chen Zhan smiled and said, "You're smart, but you're stupid now. I know that even if I use it as my idea, you won't say anything. But what good is it for us? I'm the deputy director of Mango TV. My identity determines that I can't get the copyright fees for this show. I might not even get a single cent. "
"But it's different if you have the copyright. You can use it to ask for copyright fees from the TV station. Remember, you don't have to give me face. Ask for as much as you can. Anyway, the money isn't mine. "
Xiao Yunhai pointed at Chen Zhan and said with a smile, "Uncle, do you count as living off one person while helping another?"
"Bullsh * t, I'm doing this for you. Brat, you're really a dog biting Lu Dongbin. You don't know how to appreciate good intentions. "
"Haha, Uncle is the best."
"Of course."
Soon, Xiao Yunhai and Su Yingxue followed Chen Zhan to a private room. There were already two people sitting inside.
One of them was about fifty or sixty years old. Half of his hair was white, and his face was a little thin, but his spirit was very good. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and was reading a book with great interest.
Sitting below the middle-aged man was a handsome young man in his twenties. Perhaps he had just graduated from university, and there was a strong scholarly air about him. There was a laptop and printer beside her. She seemed to be a secretary.
Seeing the three of them come in, the young man hurriedly stood up and greeted Chen Zhan.
Chen Zhan nodded to him and looked at the middle-aged man who was as calm as Mount Tai. He smiled and said, "It's just a copyright negotiation for a variety show. It's really beyond my expectation that Director Wu would come in person."
Director Wu smiled and shook the book in his hand. He said, "I mainly want to know Mr. Xiao, the author of the classic Wuxia novel 'Little Li's Flying Dagger.' Today, I have to say that Mr. Xiao is really young and promising. "
Xiao Yunhai leaned forward and said, "Director Wu, you're flattering me."
Although he didn't know the identity of the man in front of him, he was certainly not an ordinary director since he could get such respect from his uncle, the deputy director. Therefore, Xiao Yunhai didn't dare to neglect him.
After they sat down, Chen Zhan said, "Yunhai, let me introduce you. This is Director Wu, the God of Wealth in our TV station. Director Wu has made great contributions to our TV station's current status. I didn't expect Director Wu to come in person tonight. You have to have a good drink with Director Wu. "
In Mango TV Station, Wu Ling's status could be said to be second only to one person. He was in charge of the entire TV station's economic power.
He and Ouyang Zhaoming were classmates in Hua Xia Media University. They were close friends and came to Mango TV Station together after graduation.
After Ouyang Zhaoming became the director of Mango TV Station, the first thing he did was to promote Wu Ling to the finance director. He held the position for 20 years.
The two of them complemented each other in character. Ouyang Zhaoming was majestic and full of courage, while Wu Ling was shrewd and watertight.
Under their hard work, Mango TV Station quickly stood out and became the leader of the local TV station.
Chen Zhan was right. Apart from Ouyang Zhaoming, Wu Ling's contribution was definitely the biggest for Mango TV Station's current status.
Ouyang Zhaoming originally wanted him to be the first deputy director, but Wu Ling declined with the reason that he was too old. Otherwise, Chen Zhan might not have been able to become the deputy director.
After hearing Chen Zhan's words, Wu Ling waved his hand and smiled. "Forget it. With my health condition, I can only drink two or three ounces of wine. Any more and I won't be able to."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Director Wu, you're too humble. I can see that your health is very good."
"I'm strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Now that it's getting late, I think we should discuss' The Voice of Hua Xia '. "
"Sure, no problem."
"Alright then, I'll tell you my opinion first. To be honest, I'm very optimistic about 'The Voice of Hua Xia'. Whether it's the format or the interest, it has the appeal that other talent shows don't have. Once it's done well, the ratings will definitely not be a problem. I just don't know what Mr. Xiao's requirements are. " “
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I'm very confident in this show. Maybe it will create a legend. Director Wu, how much is our TV station prepared to invest in this show? "
Wu Ling raised five fingers and said, "50 million. As for the rest, Director Chen will have to look for sponsors himself. "
Mango TV was now at the crucial stage of replacing the old with the new. The three deputy directors all wanted to achieve results to increase their competitiveness.
Ouyang Zhaoming did not want to help anyone. Therefore, every time they applied for a project, Ouyang Zhaoming would only give them a quarter of the funds. As for the rest, they had to think of their own ways.
For example, the idol drama "Summer Campus" was prepared and filmed by the deputy director, Meng Wei. Originally, he wanted to find some young stars to film it, but because of the lack of funds, he had to give up on this plan. Instead, he found Wang Li and Zhang Meijun.
Fortunately, the ratings for "Summer Campus" were good, and Meng Wei was recognized by Ouyang Zhaoming because of this.
As for the filming of "The Voice of Hua Xia," the rough estimate was about 200 million. Not to mention other things, just hiring the four famous coaches would cost at least 150 million. In addition to the manpower and material resources involved in the filming of the show, 200 million might not be enough.
Chen Zhan sighed and said, "I've been worried to death for the past two days. I still don't have a shortfall of 150 million. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Director Wu, if I want to invest, how much profit can your TV station give me?"
"That depends on how much you want to invest."
"I'll invest as much as the shortfall is."
For a show like "The Voice of Hua Xia," which was guaranteed to make profits, Xiao Yunhai really wanted to invest in it.
In Zhang Ye's previous life, The Voice's viewership ratings could not be described with just the word "explosive". Not to mention the premiere episode, even the reruns had surpassed all the variety shows of the past. The advertising fees were also raised time and time again, with many businesses pushing the price to the sky.
Due to this, Jiangzhe TV Station stood out and entered the ranks of the top TV stations, competing with the high and mighty Mango TV Station for the top spot.
In comparison, the variety shows in this world were still in their infancy. The standards were generally not high, far from the standards of the variety shows in his previous life. Back then, "The Voice of Hua Xia" was able to fight a bloody path out of many strong competitors and reach the top of variety shows. There was no reason why it couldn't work here.
Therefore, Xiao Yunhai had the idea of investing.
"Nonsense." Before Wu Ling could say anything, Chen Zhan had already stood up with a frosty face. He shouted at Xiao Yunhai, "You brat, are you crazy? You dare to make a decision for a matter of more than 100 million? You're too bold."
Regarding the copyright negotiations between Wu Ling and Xiao Yunhai, as Xiao Yunhai's uncle, Chen Zhan had to avoid arousing suspicion. Even if Xiao Yunhai was at a disadvantage in the end, Chen Zhan would not say a word.
However, the program involved his nephew's funds of more than 100 million, so Chen Zhan could not let him do as he pleased. Not to mention anything else, if the program did not reach the ideal ratings, Xiao Yunhai would have to pay a loss.
If his sister and brother-in-law found out about it, he would not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. At the very least, he would not be able to escape the accusation of the United TV Station cheating his nephew.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "My parents have long left me alone. Besides, Uncle, I'm not doing this for you. I came up with the idea for this program. No one knows better than me the value it can create in the future. I dare say that it will definitely be the best among the variety shows in the same period. Therefore, I'm really optimistic about this program. That's why I want to invest. Believe me, this is definitely a profitable business. The main difference is how much we can earn. "
Chen Zhan was unmoved. He said, "I still don't agree. There are always exceptions. It's better to be safe than sorry. If there's a problem, I won't be able to explain it to your parents. "
"Uncle, in front of Director Wu, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to reject such a large investment?"
"Don't give me excuses. I have to call your father and see what his attitude is. "Chen Zhan suddenly took out his phone and called Xiao Qifeng.
Soon, Xiao Qifeng's calm voice came through.
Chen Zhan told Xiao Qifeng about the matter and was waiting for Xiao Qifeng to fly into a rage. He did not expect the other party to say indifferently, "Big Brother, it's fine. The child has grown up and has his own ideas. This is a good thing. As long as it's not against the law, let him handle the rest. "
"That's it."
Chen Zhan was so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out. After a while, he said, "Qifeng, did I not make myself clear? I'm talking about 150 million, not 150 yuan. "
"Yes, I heard it very clearly. Big Brother, don't worry. Yunhai is still very steady when doing things. Besides, this program is his idea. He knows whether it's good or bad. We don't have to worry too much. "
