Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of Mango TV Station.
After Chen Zhan and Xiao Yunhai got out of the car, the driver immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Director Wu, Deputy Station Head Chen and Mr. Xiao were talking about 'The Voice of Hua Xia.' Mr. Xiao said that Jibei TV Station … "
In the elevator, Xiao Yunhai said to Chen Zhan, "Uncle, I didn't expect you to be so good at acting. Next time, when I direct a TV series, I'll invite you to act in it. What do you think? "
It turned out that the conversation between the two of them was just for the driver to hear.
In fact, the other TV stations did not know that Xiao Yunhai had only sold the rights to the first season of "The Voice of Hua Xia." The second and third seasons had nothing to do with Mango TV.
If they knew, Xiao Yunhai's phone would have exploded with calls.
Chen Zhan rolled his eyes and said, "Don't give me that, I …"
At this moment, the elevator stopped. Someone was coming up. Chen Zhan quickly shut his mouth.
"Aiya, Director Wu, long time no see."
Xiao Yunhai saw that the person was Wu Ling, who negotiated the rights to "The Voice of Hua Xia" with him. He quickly smiled and extended his hand.
Wu Ling also did not expect to meet Xiao Yunhai and his group in the elevator. He was slightly stunned. Then, he shook Xiao Yunhai's hand and said, "What a coincidence. I was just about to go to Station Head Ouyang's office. It seems that we are really fated. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's great. Let's go together."
Everyone went to Ouyang Zhaoming's office.
Wu Ling knocked on the door. Ouyang Zhaoming's loud voice came from inside. "Come in."
Wu Ling opened the door and smiled. "Station Head, Deputy Station Head Chen and Mr. Xiao are here."
Ouyang Zhaoming heard and quickly stood up. He laughed and said, "Mr. Xiao, nice to meet you."
Xiao Yunhai walked over and shook hands with him. He said respectfully and confidently, "Hello, Station Head Ouyang. You're my elder, so you can just call me Yunhai. "
Ouyang Zhaoming smiled. "Alright, then I'll take advantage of my seniority."
After everyone was seated, Ouyang Zhaoming said, "Yunhai, you're really amazing. A "Step by Step" and a "Legend of Empresses in the Palace" have completely defeated our Mango TV Station. Luckily, the 'The Voice of Hua Xia' you gave us is also not bad. Otherwise, I would have really thought that you were here to defeat our Mango TV. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Don't say that. It was just a coincidence that I was able to achieve such results. It was also beyond my expectations. Mango TV Station's viewership ratings are far in the lead among the local TV stations, and can even surpass CCTV. This is the result of Director Ouyang's decades of hard work and diligence. "
"To say something arrogant, since I entered the entertainment industry, there are only a few people that I, Xiao Yunhai, admire, and Director Ouyang is one of them."
Looking at Xiao Yunhai's eyes, Ouyang Zhaoming couldn't help but laugh. He pointed at Xiao Yunhai and said to Chen Zhan, "Old Chen, your nephew really knows how to talk. His words make my heart warm."
Ouyang Zhaoming had been in the TV station for his whole life, so his eyes were very sharp. The first time he saw Xiao Yunhai, he could tell from his eyes, the way he shook hands, and even the way he spoke that this person thought highly of himself. He was also quite proud and full of confidence.
Ouyang Zhaoming was very happy that such a person could say that he admired him.
Chen Zhan shook his head and said, "This kid has been very arrogant since he was young. If it wasn't from his heart, he wouldn't have said it. I've never heard him say that he admired me. "
Xiao Yunhai giggled, and said, "Uncle, I've said it before. It's just that you've forgotten."
Chen Zhan snorted and sneered, "Don't try to fool me. I don't care anyway."
Wu Ling smiled and said, "Alright, everyone, let's talk after we're done with the business."
Ouyang Zhaoming nodded and said, "That's good too."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "This is my manager, Madam Su Yingxue. She will be in charge of everything related to 'The Voice of Hua Xia.' I won't be involved in it anymore. "
Wu Ling was stunned and looked at Su Yingxue and said, "Miss Su, nice to meet you. Please take care of me from now on."
Su Yingxue smiled and said, "Director Wu, you're too polite."
Chen Zhan said, "Then let's talk. I'll leave first."
Ouyang Zhaoming smiled and said, "Old Chen, are you trying to avoid suspicion? Haha, you don't have to do that. "
Chen Zhan said, "I'm mainly not in the mood to listen to your war of words. It's better to leave early."
Ouyang Zhaoming laughed and said, "Alright, it's up to you."
After Chen Zhan left, Wu Ling looked at Xiao Yunhai and said, "Mr. Xiao, do you know? Every time I watch 'The Voice of Hua Xia,' I regret it. Why didn't I think of buying the copyright back then? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Director Wu, you don't have to regret it. Even if you want to buy it, I won't sell it. It's not that I'm giving advice after the fact, but my confidence in 'The Voice of Hua Xia' is far beyond what you can imagine. If the negotiations had failed, I would rather let it lie in a coffin. "
Nodding his head, Wu Ling replied, "I've already sensed your confidence in you during the negotiations. Mr. Xiao, we're old friends. If our station wants to continue hosting this variety show, what price will we have to pay? "
Xiao Yunhai pointed at Su Yingxue and said, "Director Wu, you should be asking her."
Su Yingxue gave Xiao Yunhai a 'at least you know your place' look and said to Wu Ling, "Director Wu, our request is very simple. We'll be responsible for all the production costs and we want 85% of the advertising revenue to be distributed through your station. "
"Impossible." Wu Ling immediately objected, "Ms. Su, your asking price is too high. No TV station in the country will agree to such a condition. "
Su Yingxue said, "I'm sorry, but Jibei TV Station is offering 90% of the advertising revenue. Mr. Wu, you have to be clear about one thing. If the second season of 'The Voice of Hua Xia' can have the same ratings as the first season, even if it's only 10%, it will still be a profit of more than 150 million. Your station might not care about such a small amount of money, but other TV stations with average ratings are very popular. If you don't believe me, you can call Director Shen Minghui and ask. "
If Wu Ling had not received the driver's call, he might have really called to ask. But after hearing the driver's report, Wu Ling subconsciously believed that Jibei TV Station was looking for Xiao Yunhai. Coupled with the 150 million in profits, not to mention Shen Minghui, even Mango would agree.
One had to know that a variety show with an average ratings of more than 10% had never appeared in the history of TV stations. Anyone would want to get a share of the profits.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Mango TV Station would definitely not let it go.
Thinking of this, Wu Ling said, "Ms. Su, our Mango TV Station has a large audience. If it's broadcast on our station, it will be much better than other TV stations. The advertising revenue will also be much higher."
Su Yingxue smiled and said, "Director Wu, I admit that a strong alliance can indeed bring about great benefits, but it's only applicable to normal programs. For example, our Yunhai's' Legend of the Empresses in the Palace 'was able to achieve a miraculous 36% rating even when it was broadcast on Jibei TV Station. The second season still managed to break 10%. This fully shows that a truly outstanding program can achieve good results no matter where it is broadcast. And coincidentally, 'The Voice of Hua Xia' is such an outstanding program. "
Xiao Yunhai had always admired Su Yingxue's eloquence. Seeing her performance now, although Xiao Yunhai's face did not show any expression, he was overjoyed in his heart.
Wu Ling also realized Su Yingxue's prowess. He quickly adjusted his strategy and said solemnly, "Ms. Su is indeed eloquent. However, our Mango TV Station will definitely not accept such conditions. "
Su Yingxue said, "Then it's really a pity. The second season of 'The Voice of Hua Xia' will have to find someone else."
Wu Ling did not expect Su Yingxue to be so straightforward. He sighed in his heart, "Looks like they really have nothing to fear."
At this moment, Ouyang Zhaoming, who had been silent all this while, suddenly looked at Xiao Yunhai and said, "Yunhai, can we talk alone?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Director Ouyang, about 'The Voice of Hua Xia', I …"
Ouyang Zhaoming waved his hand and said, "I want to talk to you about something else."
Xiao Yunhai was stunned and said, "Of course."
Ouyang Zhaoming said, "Ms. Su, I'm sorry, but can you leave for a while? We can finish our discussion in less than five minutes. "
Su Yingxue glanced at Xiao Yunhai. Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Sister Xue, are you afraid that Director Ouyang will eat me up?"
Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows and stood up. She said, "It'll be better if he eats you up."
Soon, only Ouyang Zhaoming and Xiao Yunhai were left in the office.
Ouyang Zhaoming seemed to be thinking about something. He frowned and unconsciously tapped his fingers on the office table.
Xiao Yunhai did not disturb him. Instead, he drank his tea leisurely.
A minute later, Ouyang Zhaoming's hammering suddenly stopped, and his brows relaxed. Looking at the calm and quiet Xiao Yunhai, he praised, "It's rare for a young man to have such a peaceful attitude."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and put down the teacup in his hand. He said, "Yunhai knows that my willpower is not strong enough. I'm in the market for fame and fortune. If I don't reflect from time to time, I'm afraid that I won't even recognize myself in the end."
Ouyang Zhaoming nodded and said, "Well said. The ancient people say that you should reflect on yourself three times. You can do this, and with your talent, your future is limitless. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Director Ouyang, please don't praise me. The more you praise me, the more nervous I get. Just get to the point. "
Ouyang Zhaoming laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll get straight to the point. I might be retiring in the second half of next year. The Ministry of Culture has decided that the director will be selected internally by Mango TV. I think your uncle will be the best candidate. "
Xiao Yunhai's eyes lit up and said, "What are the chances of him succeeding?"
Ouyang Zhaoming said, "If he can achieve good results this year, with my recommendation, he should be close to being the most likely candidate."
Xiao Yunhai instantly understood what Ouyang Zhaoming meant and said, "I can give him 'The Voice of Hua Xia'."
Ouyang Zhaoming shook his head and said, "It's still not enough."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then I'll help him plan a variety show that can exceed 10%."
Ouyang Zhaoming asked in surprise, "You still have such an outstanding idea like 'The Voice of Hua Xia'?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "No, but I'm confident that I can come up with it."
Ouyang Zhaoming said, "That's great. However, I can only give you 70% of the advertising fees for 'The Voice of Hua Xia'. "
Xiao Yunhai didn't even think about it and said, "Deal."
Ouyang Zhaoming suddenly laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word?"
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Then it means that my judgment was wrong. I can only blame myself for being unlucky."
Ouyang Zhaoming looked at Xiao Yunhai seriously and said, "Your personality and way of doing things are very similar to mine."
After saying that, he gave Wu Ling a call. After a while, everyone came back together.
Su Yingxue looked at Xiao Yunhai suspiciously but didn't say anything.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Sister Xue, we'll get 70% of the advertising fees. It's settled then."
When Su Yingxue heard that, she was instantly furious.
Fortunately, she knew that it wasn't appropriate for her to make a scene. She leaned over to Xiao Yunhai's ear and said fiercely, "You better give me a reasonable explanation when we go back. Otherwise, I won't let you off. "
The contract was drafted very quickly. Ouyang Zhaoming and Xiao Yunhai signed it separately.
Ouyang Zhaoming held Xiao Yunhai's hand and said, "Actually, even if you didn't agree, I would still do that."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I know. But I don't want to take the risk. "
The two of them looked at each other and suddenly felt a sense of empathy. They laughed at the same time.
