Wu Qian was talking on the phone, and Yuan Bingqing was muttering on the other end of the phone. Why did Wu Qian feel like Yuan Bingqing was talking? He stopped and listened, and then laughed. It turned out that he scared the beautiful Bingshan programmer into a fool.

"Hey, Yuan Bingqing, are you still listening to me? Hey, hello." Wu Qian yelled a few times, waking Yuan Bingqing who was in shock, and then said: "Look for the market research staff to cooperate with you in choosing dramas, and the rest I don't care about the matter, I leave it to you to handle it, is there any problem?"

Yuan Bingqing was so excited that she almost cried, she didn't ask Wu Qian how much she paid for these copyrights, she didn't dare to ask.

"No, no problem, Wu Qian, thank you. I will definitely arrange someone to carefully select. By the way, can you talk about it? The mandatory 100 dramas should preferably be after the millennium. If the age is too long Unless it's a very classic show, no one watches it."

Yuan Bingqing was fine, at least he regained his sanity after being yelled at by Wu Qian, and he could still come up with ideas.

"Okay, let me talk about this again and fight for it. I will trouble you and the employees below to work overtime. I will tell you when the negotiation here is over, and it will be up to you and ITV to carry out the follow-up matters. I will then I still have to go to the BBC. By the way, is your English OK?" Wu Qian said.

Yuan Bingqing nodded uncontrollably, and said: "OK, there is no problem with the communication. Wu Qian, don't worry, I'm still in the company, and I will notify the relevant personnel to come to the company now."

Yuan Bingqing was so excited that ITV bought the copyright of 200 episodes and went to the BBC. Most of the copyrights of British dramas are in the hands of the BBC and ITV. Besides, the BBC is better than ITV. The scale of the movie is even bigger, and there are more classic episodes.

(In fact, many copyrights of British dramas are in the hands of the authors, but for the needs of novels, it is more convenient to write this way.)
After finishing speaking, the two hung up the phone. Wu Qian conveyed the meaning of Yuan Bingqing's side. Rosalind seemed to want to avenge the interruption of the previous bargaining. The 100 designated places have been increased to 120.

Yuan Bingqing first took the elevator back upstairs. After a while, she calmed down a little. She seemed to have seen the scene where the traffic of the video website began to increase steadily and the advertising orders came one after another.

Losses are bound to be losses, but which video site does not start from a loss, including the current giants, have not yet achieved profitability, and things need to be done step by step. The profit of a video site is not enough to rely solely on advertising revenue, but click Efficiency is the foundation of creating all benefits.

Back in the office, Yuan Bingqing stood by the window and pushed it open. The evening wind of early autumn blew on her face. She remembered what Wu Qian had said to her, and the expression on Wu Qian's face when he left, the confidence that he was determined to win .

"Men can also be very good, not as bad as those two guys said." Yuan Bingqing muttered, and then began to make calls to inform the guys below to go back to the company and start working overtime.What are you doing resting, work, work makes you happy!

Wu Qian's contract has already been signed. He called Yuan Bingqing and asked her to contact the relevant department of ITV. The payment will be settled after the selection of the series is completed and reviewed. He doesn't need to stay at ITV's headquarters at this time. caught.

Wu Qian took Rosalind and the lawyer directly to the BBC headquarters, and since they wanted to talk, they could do it all at once.He still can't afford that much of the annual copyright budget of the Big Three, which is tens of billions, and there is no need to do it in one go.

The layout needs to be done a little bit. The digestion of the market and the conversion of the audience need a time process. If you take too many steps on your side, the audience's reaction can't keep up. On the contrary, it will make your opponents alert, which will be very unfavorable .

In the chat room of the BBC headquarters, Wu Qian also bought the exclusive broadcasting rights of 200 episodes from the BBC after a lot of verbal battles. The exclusive broadcasting rights price for one episode is 6 pounds, and the rules in all aspects are not so strict. There are 150 places allowed to be selected, but only 50 are forced.

"Yuan Bingqing, everything about British dramas has been settled, and I don't care about the copyrights of some scattered dramas. You should make a detailed promotion plan over there. Don't be reluctant to pay, you know?" Wu Qian and Yuan Bingqing called .

It was already half past midnight Beijing time, and Wu Qian knew that Yuan Bingqing was working overtime, so he didn't have any worries.

When Yuan Bingqing learned that the BBC had the copyright of another 200 TV series, he almost fainted. Happiness came so suddenly, just like a bitter non-renminbi player suddenly became a super soft girl coin player, big gift package One by one……

"Don't worry, Wu Qian, I will definitely ask the marketing department to come up with all the skills! The market for British dramas seems to be small, but in fact it is because there are too few film sources. Now there are so many genuine film sources, 1080P high-definition, I believe it will We have recruited a huge audience!" Yuan Bingqing said.

Although Yuan Bingqing gave the guarantee, Wu Qian was still a little worried. He said: "Don't be reluctant to promote it. It costs a lot of money, but don't be stingy on the small head and fail to achieve the desired effect. The loss outweighs the gain. ITV Over there, I bought the exclusive broadcasting rights based on 7 pounds per episode, and the BBC’s 6 pounds, you can figure it out after you choose the episodes.”

Wu Qian threw a blockbuster at Yuan Bingqing. The seemingly complicated mental arithmetic problem is actually not that difficult. Based on the average of 5 episodes per TV series, 400 TV series are 2000 episodes, 1.3 million pounds, 11 billion Soft sister coins!

This price may seem astonishing, but if you buy the exclusive broadcasting rights of popular TV series filmed by big-name stars in China, it may be a little bit reluctant to buy two! 400 VS 2 battle!
Yuan Bingqing on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then let out a sound of gasping for air. She had goosebumps all over her arms. More than 10 billion soft sister coins are really too scary for her appetite!

"Okay, Wu Qian, I understand what you mean, I will do it well, and I will ask General Manager Yao to help check it after I finish it." Yuan Bingqing said, she knew that Wu Qian trusted Yao Xinlu's ability.

The two didn't talk any more, Yuan Bingqing was so busy, Wu Qian didn't have anything to say, the most important thing to come to England was settled, and he was in a good mood.

"Let's go to eat." Wu Qian said, the business is over, and the rest is all his own time.

Chinese fans of British dramas are looking for the source of the film everywhere, digging a little here, prying an episode there, the level of translation is also uneven, and it is very uncomfortable to watch. They don't know it, a gift that is so huge that it is unbelievable It's about to hit them on the head.

While Wu Qian was having dinner, Kuang Ziyu also finished the day's filming. The progress was not so fast, and he was walking according to the normal rhythm. The tasks of the script were completed one by one.

Although Wu Qian did not follow the team to stare at the scene, everyone in the team already knew Wu Qian's standard, so they would naturally follow it. There is no need to rush, what is needed is an attitude of excellence.

Tian Yewang had a great time today. When the team was discussing the details of the shooting, he ran around the Silverstone Circuit for several laps, and he was completely addicted.If it wasn't for Wu Qian's strict prohibition, he really wanted to record some short videos and send them to his friends in the capital, which would definitely make those guys cry with envy.

Bauer and David haven't finished their work yet. The closing time of the auction house is 9 pm. Although the appraiser team slept on the plane, they were actually a little tired when they arrived in London due to the jet lag.

But when the appraisers saw so many precious cultural relics, they were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Where could they see a trace of drowsiness? among.

The appraisers strictly follow Wu Qian's requirements, but do not record any cultural relics with doubtful points. There are three appraisers in each field. Contradictory opinions will immediately become more cautious, and if you are not sure, PASS.

This is not an academic discussion. This is real gold and silver. Bringing cultural relics back to the country. The appraisers are not allowed to play tricks. They know what their responsibilities are. At this time, they must not be willful to argue whether I am right or you are wrong. If you buy it back It is a fake, losing money is a small matter, but reputation is a big matter!

Wu Qian finished his dinner and wiped his mouth with a silk napkin embroidered with gold thread. He found that Rosalind was not in high spirits after coming out of the ITV headquarters. Things are hanging around.

"Rosalind, I heard that the British like to sit and sit in bars for chatting, isn't it?" Wu Qian asked.

Rosalind nodded lightly, and said, "Yes, Boss, the British bar culture is very popular."

"Can you tell me a little bit?" Wu Qian didn't rush to get up.

"Okay, BOSS. British bars are roughly divided into three categories, bar, pub, and clnb. Bars are mainly located in the downtown areas of various cities. They are suitable for drinking and chatting. They are places that young people prefer. Especially during the World Cup, the British I like to gather at the bar to watch football games.

Compared with bars, pubs are more traditional, and the decoration is more simple and British. Some pubs have requirements for guests to dress. Sports shoes and jeans will be prohibited. Gentlemen and ladies often choose to go to pubs when they have parties. Pubs are the most popular in the UK. The mass is also the oldest type of bar.

Clubs are suitable for relaxation when the pressure is too great. You need to buy tickets when you enter, and there will be music with a strong sense of rhythm inside. The business hours are generally late and the risk factor is high. "

At the end, Rosalind did not forget to explain a safety issue. After all, Wu Qian's safety is closely related to her.

When Wu Qian was in China, he had never been to a bar. In the past, he always heard that someone went to the bar to have a fun night and picked up something. But he is an otaku and has no money. Some of the videos to understand and understand will pass.

The Chinese bar culture was introduced from the United States, and a large part of the American bar culture originated from the United Kingdom. The bar culture in the United Kingdom has a long history of more than 1000 years, and it originated from the church in the Middle Ages.

A bar is a place for British people to relax. In addition to drinking, chatting and making friends, people can also participate in various activities.As early as the 16th century, British wandering entertainers often set up a stage in the middle of the bar yard, and many popular bands initially played in some small local bars.

Coming to a country with a profound bar culture, if you don’t experience it, it’s a waste of opportunity.

"How about going to the bar with me, having a drink together, and experiencing the British bar culture? By the way, you should know where the best bar in London is, right?" Wu Qian said to Rosalind.

Rosalind was a little flattered, she didn't finish her business today**** OSS forgave her, and invited her to the bar for a drink, there must be something deep in it.Although Wu Qian didn't invite her, she still wanted to follow Wu Qian closely, but the nature was completely different.

"Boss, if you talk about the best bar in London, it must be The Artesian bar. This bar is in the Langham Hotel on Portland Street. It is not only the best bar in London, but also the best bar in the world. " Rosalind replied truthfully.

Wu Qian stood up and said, "Let's go."

When Kux heard that Wu Qian was going to the Artesian bar, he had an unlovely expression on his face. As a German, how could Kux not like to drink, but this job that required constant vigilance restricted his drinking Freedom, fortunately, he has super self-control ability, and the temptation of a little hobby will not affect his work.

Night has fallen, and the nightlife in London is slowly kicking off. In a semi-open private room in The Artesian bar, Wu Qian is sitting on a large purple sofa. Cocktails of artwork.

It's really not that easy to enter this bar. At first, Wu Qian and Rosalind were not eligible to enter. Wu Qian remembered that he had privileges, so he took out the magic and Chase that symbolized his status. Palladium card.

This card has limited influence in the Celestial Dynasty, but in the West, where capital is king, it is a very useful pass. Although it is not as good as the Centurion Black Gold in some respects, a bar, Still will give enough face.

Rosalind and the other bodyguards didn't know that Wu Qian possessed Mohe Datong's palladium card. The identity of the person who owns this card is naturally different. Correspondingly, the security factor is also different.

Rosalind felt that she needed to find a time to have a good talk with Wu Qian. She found that she didn't know enough about him. Logically, Wu Qian needed to release a lot of his information to the bodyguard, so that the other party could extract useful information from it, and then formulate A series of protective measures.

"I didn't expect that the bar could be decorated like this..." Wu Qian looked at the surrounding environment with an unbelievable look in his eyes. He didn't know what Rosalind was thinking, but he was attracted by the decoration of the bar anyway. up.

The Artesian Bar was designed by the famous interior designer David Collins. The decoration style has a typical European court style. It has both a lively hall and a quiet and comfortable private space.

The decoration of the bar is full of noble and elegant style, and the finely crafted retro lighting is very gorgeous, presenting an elegant and grand style.Under the shining lighting art embellishment, there is a bit of Victorian elegance and romance.

The Artesian bar has won many honors, from decoration design to various wines, and has won many laurels in various competitions in the United Kingdom and the United States.The raw materials for making cocktails are very different. Hibiscus flowers, sesame oil, gemstones, larch, leather mushrooms and parsnip are all used as raw materials for cocktails. Just listening to these raw materials makes people jaw-dropping.

No matter how good the decor is, nothing beats a creative cocktail, which is what makes The Artesian the king of contemporary bars.

Just like this glass of Pink&Gold in front of Wu Qian, it combines the classic centuries-old Silver Tequila, fresh lime, white tea, hibiscus flowers and rose petals. The color matching is very ornamental, and the taste is fresh and attractive, which makes people try it memorable.

"Rosalind." Wu Qian shook the beautiful glass slightly, and looked at Rosalind who was sitting opposite.He came to drink to experience the bar culture is just one of them, and he wants to chat with Rosalind more.

Rosalind was thinking about something in her heart, and kept staring at the cocktail made of pine nuts and lychees in front of her. When she heard Wu Qian calling her, she raised her head to look at Wu Qian, and said, "Boss, what's wrong?"

"Don't think about what happened in the afternoon. Signing contracts with ITV and the BBC went very well today. Isn't it worth celebrating?" However, at least in terms of price, it has reached the level of art. Such a small glass of wine costs more than 1000 pounds.

Rosalind smiled, raised her wine glass and touched Wu Qian.

"You look more like Gal Gadot when you smile." Wu Qianqian took a sip of his wine and said, "Smile more from now on, I don't like unsmiling assistants."

"Okay, BOSS." Rosalind agreed, this kind of thing will not affect the work of security protection, and it can completely satisfy the other party.

The atmosphere in the bar was very good. Sitting in the small hall, Wu Qian and Rosalind could not be disturbed by anyone. The two talked about some interesting things. Basically, Rosalind was talking and Wu Qian was listening.

Gradually, the things in the cups in front of the two bottomed out. Wu Qian said: "I have watched a TV series called 'Bodyguard', and the stories told in it are very profound. Let me ask you, if there is a disagreement between the bodyguard and the employer, And there is a relationship between a man and a woman, how do you deal with this situation?"

Rosalind was invited by Wu Qian and drank a glass of wine. It is unknown how much she drank, but at this moment her eyes were obviously more charming than usual, and there were waves of light flowing in the dark brown eyes. At this moment, Rosalind was thinking about Wu Qian. Ask out the words.

Rosalind has watched that TV series very carefully. After all, she is doing this job, and she will also pay attention to related film and television works. The story in the play is about a female employer and a male bodyguard. The idea is very unique. .

"I don't know how to deal with it. I think it will be very embarrassing." Rosalind replied truthfully, she really didn't know.

Wu Qian smiled, drank the last sip of wine in the glass, then leaned forward and held Rosalind's chin with his hand, kissed her on the face, and said, "Go back to the hotel."

Rosalind was not surprised by Wu Qian's behavior. Since she learned that she looked like a female star Wu Qian liked, she began to prepare mentally, and Wu Qian said that there would be "dangerous ", she naturally understood what the so-called "danger" meant.

Seeing that Wu Qian had stepped out of the small hall, Rosalind hurriedly stood up and followed her. No matter what happened, she must not neglect her responsibilities, and the contract regulations did not say that she could not have a relationship with her employer that exceeded employment.

On the car back to the hotel, Kux noticed that the atmosphere between Wu Qian and Rosalind was a little off. He smiled at Wu Qian with a smile that men all over the world understand, which meant, Dude, it's pretty wild.

Wu Qian didn't feel embarrassed at all, he smiled and said, "Kux, don't you feel particularly bad if you haven't had a drink tonight..."

PONG!

Wu Qian hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly heard a gunshot. Although the sound insulation effect of the Rolls-Royce Phantom is very good, the gunshot was still not too small. It can be seen that the place where the gunshot was fired was very close to the vehicle.

"Boss, get down quickly!" Rosalind dismissed all the distracting thoughts in her heart for a moment, and her nerves were tense for a moment. She grabbed the back of Wu Qian's neck and pressed down, and then crawled on Wu Qian's back. , took out the HK USP without any hassle, and stared out of the car window with a pair of eyes.

Wu Qian turned his head and glanced at the tense Rosalind. The safety of the pistol in his hand had been released and he was ready to fire at any time. He swallowed a little nervously and thought to himself, it shouldn't have anything to do with me.

The traffic condition on the road is not very good, it is not considered a traffic jam but it is stop-and-go. There are a lot of vehicles in front of the Phantom, and it is impossible to drive through unless it is a tank.

When Cook heard the gunshots, he quickly pointed the front of the car at the source of the sound. If someone really wanted to attack his boss, the only thing on the vehicle that could effectively block the bullets was the engine.

Without understanding the situation, Kux would never drive away blindly. After all, the traffic conditions are not good. If the attack is aimed at his boss, there may be an ambush ahead.

The sidewalk on the side where the gunshots sounded was a bit chaotic. Although there were no more gunshots, people were still running.Rosalind looked at the side of the road through the window of the car and found that the source of the confusion was a 24-hour convenience store.

"It should be a burglary, maybe it was an unintentional shooting, and someone was injured." Rosalind said, she was speaking to Cooks, her tone was obviously much more relaxed, as long as she didn't come for her own boss.

Wu Qian felt the temperature on his back, and his heart was pounding, good guy, there are really many dangers in the outside world.

Rosalind's judgment was not wrong. It was a young man who entered the convenience store to rob. It was probably because of his first offense, he was nervous, and the money had not been snatched. He panicked for a moment, he even forgot to run away, he stood for a long time before remembering to run away, and in his panic, he was tripped by the threshold.

In less than 2 minutes, a patrolling policeman rushed over and easily controlled the young man who shot.Kux's driving skills are very good. Seeing that there is no sign of expanding the attack, he quickly turned the front of the car and merged into the traffic flow.

Rosalind returned to her seat, helped Wu Qian up, and said, "Boss, it's just a small problem, don't worry. Actually, the crime rate in London is not low."

The crime rate in London is the highest in the UK, and there are also dark corners under the highly developed economy.
