'Don't worry, I started off as an intern and finally became an official employee. A few months ago, I finally got the opportunity to be in charge of a program. For someone with my background and skin color, I'm rising quite quickly.'
Qin Guan nodded in agreement. In order to have a more private conversation, he asked Wang to open the special room the crew had prepared for him.
'Come in and take your time to talk. Today's filming ends here. This space is a resting place that I have full control over.'
Sooner or later, no one will come over to rush me.
"Thank you." Fu Sheng thanked her sincerely.
"The TV station trusts me to be the producer of a program. After all, I didn't bring shame to the name of Columbia University. "
"Thanks to the guidance of my seniors who had joined the industry earlier, the management of the TV station approves of my work."
'But success comes from the same person, and failure comes from the same person. Because of the excessive confidence in my work ability, the program I received this time is a bit tricky.'
"Oh? What kind of program is it? What problems did you encounter? "
"As a member of the fashion circle, you must know that the name of the program is' Project Runway '. It's a reality show competition for the most cutting-edge fashion designers."
"The whole process of the program, including the tailoring, design and production, is carried out under the camera. The goal is to select the most cutting-edge fashion designers in the United States. It's a very gimmicky and highly professional program. '
"I know. As far as I know, it has been held for three seasons. It's a craze in the fashion circle."
"Your NBC TV station is not honest. Many fashion designers and large clothing companies that I have worked with have complained to me about you."
'It's said that your program has made those interns who have just graduated or the wardrobe assistants in big studios restless.'
"Many talented fashion assistants from big companies have been the target of their attention, but thanks to your program, they have come into the limelight."
"In addition, the champion that you set up can get up to 100,000 US dollars in venture capital, which has allowed many assistant fashion designers to embark on the road of creating their own brands.
"You're snatching human resources from those big companies in disguise!"
Fu Sheng nodded in agreement. "Yes, our program's original intention was to support more talented designers to stand out."
'You have to know that in the fashion design industry today, the whole industry abides by the rules, they themselves have problems.'
"Many talented designers, because of the limitations of work experience and resume, can only struggle to survive under the hands of big companies and famous designers. They painstakingly torture themselves, just to accumulate qualifications and find a slim chance to make a name for themselves."
"You should know that a designer is not a job that can be done based on seniority. It has very high requirements for a flash of inspiration and talent."
'But the way and constitution of designers in the fashion industry today are not suitable for the development of talented designers and amateur designers who are very spiritual in this area.'
"Project Runway's Chosen One provides them with an open and fair environment, as well as a chance for the cash-strapped designers to make a name for themselves."
'So, no matter how much resistance we face from the fashion industry, we have to continue.'
"That's not why I asked you to come here though."
Qin Guan took the cup of spring tea from Wang and nodded at Fu Sheng. "I brought it from China. Try it. It's good."
"Thank you."
"Fu Sheng, I know that these small obstacles won't be a problem. After all, the top brands with foresight are paying close attention to your program."
"For example, the organizers of the New York Fashion Week also send people to collect the basic information of the contestants, as well as the development of the designers who participated in the show. They pay attention to all of them."
'Because, after all, you have also provided a place for American designers to survive. The ultimate goal of many people who participate in this program is to serve those top brands and join these companies, becoming one of them.'
"Yes!" Fu Sheng nodded and took a sip of the tea in the simple paper cup. A faint scent of jasmine wafted between his teeth. "Good tea."
"By the third season of 'Project Runway', we had received support and sponsorship from various parties. Even the New York Fashion Week offered us an olive branch."
"I'm here because 'Project Runway' is not a TV program produced by NBC. We bought it from the Weinstein Company."
'Our television program has the broadcasting rights of this program and the right to participate in it.'
"But because the contract was too long, five years, and the price was too low, when the second season of" Project Runway's Prodigies "started to gain popularity, the production company was already dissatisfied."
"They thought that NBC didn't have the responsibility of broadcasting and promoting the show, and that it didn't contribute to the program's popularity."
'The whole program's hard work and the reason why the program is so popular is because of the high standard of their company's program.'
'Therefore, they hope that our TV station will increase the price of the original contract, otherwise they will consider changing the broadcasting TV station.'
To put it bluntly, they thought that it would be a flop, but it turned out to be a hit. It brought a large amount of advertising and sponsorship income to the TV station, while the original production company didn't get any benefits because of the original contract.
Naturally, with benefits above everything else, the other party's heart wouldn't be balanced.
Whether it was to expand the influence of the program or to fight for more benefits for their company, Weinstein Company wanted to get more benefits for them.
