Chapter 288 Good Voice Copyright Issue ([-])
The literary director is naturally Fumino. Like Su Lun, the public didn't know much about him before "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was made.

But he is better than Su Lun. At least he shoots something every year. Su Lun is really a blockbuster if he doesn't make a splash, but the success is limited.

Coincidentally, the famous work of the two, which is considered to be the pinnacle work even now, was released in the same year.

And obviously, Fumino's film may really be his peak.

Because both in terms of subject matter and social influence, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has almost reached the extreme. There are only a handful of movies in the history of domestic movies that have such a large social influence.

There may be films that tell the truth more boldly than this one, but they certainly won't have as much impact as this one.

In the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have such a movie...

Closer to home, Xu Yang actually thought of him when he wanted to make Tangren bigger.

As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get but a general is hard to find, and the director of a movie or TV series is the general of the entire crew.

Su Lun was like this, and Wen Muye was like this too.

Of course, with Tang Ren’s current size, he definitely can’t afford to play movies.

It sounds nice to say that they are responsible for their own profits and losses, but in fact most of them make no losses. Even if Xu Yang invested in Xu Zheng's two movies in a row, he only gave money and did not interfere with the filming.

But it would be different if Tang Dynasty wanted to make a movie by itself. From the project establishment of the movie, the creation of the script to the casting and post-production, the last step is to arrange the film to promote the release, and finally to divide the accounts.

As long as there is a mistake in one link, tens of millions of dollars will really be wasted.

In the future, this number will only be more, not less. I am about to reach ten figures before I make up my mind to make corrections.

So let alone big-budget movies now, even medium-budget or even low-budget movies, Tangren didn't make me a success.

The most important thing is that compared to the entire film industry, Xu Yang is a layman and doesn't understand it at all.

All he can rely on is the movie trends and trends in his memory, and which movies were popular in which year.

If you can follow the trend and shoot a movie in line with the trend in advance, you can maximize your own advantages.

But not to mention bucking the trend, as long as Xu Yang can't keep up with the trend, if Xu Yang rushes into making movies stupidly, he will definitely get a bloody head and the result will be a loss of money.

This is true for movies and TV series.

Therefore, Xu Yang's time difference in these two industries is to stand on the cusp of the storm and follow the trend, eating meat and drinking soup.

Contacting Fumino and Xu Yang now is just to get acquainted with him in advance. When he comes out, Xu Yang will intervene.

Whether it's investment or production, Wen Muye is nothing more than an afterthought to Xu Yang.

The result was not what Xu Yang expected. Wen Muye directly rejected Xu Yang's invitation, or in other words, he rejected the current Tang people.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Xu Yang believed that Wen Muye understood what he meant, and Tang Ren was determined to enter the film industry.

Now it just has no foundation and no reputation, so it can't attract talents to invest.

And how fame comes, of course, is through hard work. Xu Yang is already thinking about what kind of surprise "囧" will give him next year.

What Xu Yang has to do now is to have all these things in place and then wait for the east wind.

Then why did Su Lun agree to Xu Yang's invitation? Because she had no other choice, but Wen Muye did.

So it's hard to say whether the box office gap between the last two movies released in the same year has anything to do with their choices.

While Xu Yang has handled the affairs of the two directors, Xu Yang has to deal with another matter, which is the copyright issue of The Voice.

In [-], Xu Yang obtained the copyright of The Voice in East Asia from the Netherlands when the reputation of The Voice was unknown.

However, one and a half years later, the Dutch producers of The Voice, who were still complacent about millions of dollars in the past, have become somewhat disdainful.

In other words, they want to regret it because they feel that their copyright was sold cheaply, and now they want to take back the copyright through various means.

The cause of the matter was that Blueberry Channel, with its discerning eye, valued the domestic potential of a foreign variety show called The Voice.

So they suggested the producer and copyright owner of Good Voice in the Netherlands, trying to buy the copyright of Good Voice in Xiaguo and even East Asia.

However, after they contacted the copyright holder, Blueberry Channel people were surprised to find that the copyright for The Voice in East Asia had been acquired first.

The copyright holders were even more confused. If Blueberry Channel hadn't suggested them, they might have forgotten that they had sold the rights to The Voice in East Asia to Xu Yang.

Because compared to other countries in Europe and the United States, East Asia has indeed been a place they have ignored, especially in terms of entertainment.

But now that someone has been found to have purchased the copyright and left it to gather dust, the copyright owner of Good Voice cannot sit idly by.

During the Chinese New Year, they contacted Yang Ting and blamed her for not producing a program based on The Voice as written in the contract.

Then Yang Ting started arguing with them, saying that she only talked about producing a program, but she didn't say when it would be produced.

Fortunately, neither party wanted to quarrel. The copyright owner gave Xu Yang an ultimatum. He must produce a program related to The Voice this year, otherwise he would sue and regain the copyright of The Voice in East Asia.

Everyone seems to be happy, but the Dutch have a dark heart. After Blueberry Taiwan contacted them at the beginning of the year, they even personally visited Xia Kingdom and other areas in East Asia.

At the same time, they also wanted to examine their incompetent agent, and this period also happened to be one of the peak times of Xu Yang's popularity.

Whether it was the concert in full swing or the sweeping victory to win this year's grand prize, the Dutch people saw that Xu Yang was not as incompetent and weak as they imagined.

On the contrary, Xu Yang has a high influence among the young people of Xia Kingdom, and he also has a certain reputation in East Asia.

This is the reason why they are willing to have a good talk with Xu Yang. If they change to someone who has no strength, then they will have a different attitude.

Maybe they didn't even need to take action, Blueberry Station took the initiative to show goodwill to the other party and achieved its goal at the same time.

However, unfortunately there is no if.

Since the copyright owner of The Voice in East Asia is now owned by Xu Yang, Blueberry Channel can only honestly negotiate cooperation through formal channels.

After all, Xu Yang is not just a cat or a dog, anyone can step on him.

Years later, Xu Yang made an appointment with Blueberry TV to meet in Beijing on the 18th of the first lunar month.

As for why it wasn't Hangzhou, did Xu Yang throw himself into a trap in the past?
The same goes for Blueberry Terrace. Why didn't you choose a magical city that is closer to Hangzhou instead of traveling all the way to the capital? How busy is it?
Neither party wants to suffer a loss in terms of momentum from the beginning, so they can only choose a city that is acceptable to both parties.

Don't look at the idea of ​​potential as mysterious, but in fact our ancestors made it very clear, the right time, the right place, and the right people.

Xu Yang was the first to get the copyright because of timing, but Blueberry TV has the strength because of Renhe, so whoever gets the right location will naturally have a greater chance of winning.

Still in a teahouse in Beijing, the director of Blueberry TV is Xia Chenan. It seems that he is determined to win the East Asian copyright of The Voice.

On Xu Yang's side, it was Xu Yang and Yang Ting. Most of the time, Yang Ting was negotiating with Xia Chenan, and Xu Yang acted as the mascot.

Seeing the two people quarreling with each other, Xu Yang sighed. Who would have thought that the assistant back then would turn into a prince.

As Xu Yang's agent, the CEO of Xu Yang's wholly-owned company, and the apparent major shareholder of Tangren, Yang Ting's reputation in the industry is indeed quite high.

Two years ago, everyone thought she was just lucky. She met someone who was just starting out and then became an agent. Although she was famous, she was not high enough for people to look up to her.

A year ago, everyone just lamented her good luck in making a direct class jump, from a worker to a half-owner, but they couldn't say they were envious.

Now everyone is a little envious or even jealous. Of course, some people also analyze how Yang Ting has a keen eye for recognizing talents and found Xu Yang to cooperate with her at a glance.

Later, as Xu Yang's popularity grew and the company grew larger, this situation would only become more common.

While Xu Yang was in a daze, the two of them had basically settled the matter.

"Xu Yang, Xu Yang?"

"Well, ah..."

After coming back to his senses, Xu Yang found that both people were looking at him.

At this time, Yang Ting said: "I have almost talked with Director Xia, what do you think?"

Xu Yang said hurriedly: "Tell me about it, I was thinking about the Tang Dynasty just now."

Neither of them became suspicious, so Yang Ting explained Xia Chenan's conditions and treatment again.

In fact, Xu Yang informed Yang Ting before the negotiation that the copyright could be sold to them, but not now.

At the same time, Xu Yang needs to have a certain quota of signed players. The earlier the time, the better. The later the time, the less you need to consider this.

Fortunately, the first point is that Blueberry TV does not want to buy the copyright in one go. After all, the issue of adaptability is another matter. Xu Yang insists on pricing the copyright based on foreign popularity, and Blueberry TV will have to hemorrhage.

But the second point made Xia Chenan hesitate. After all, starting from Super Girl, the right to sign draft contestants has always been in the hands of the producer.

To be honest, he didn't want to agree to this condition, but without purchasing the full copyright, Xu Yang could be considered one of the producers.

So, is this draft signing right, which is reserved for the producers, to be given or not?
Xia Chenan was able to achieve the position of director of Blueberry Channel. He was not lacking in courage, so after a little thought, he agreed to this condition.

The final result is that Xu Yangfang participated in the production of the first three seasons as a producer, and had three contract quotas in each season except the top four.

After the production of the third season is completed, we will discuss whether the two parties will continue to cooperate, but Blueberry Channel has the absolute priority to cooperate.

Among them, Xu Yang said that he was the producer, but in fact he was not involved in the specific affairs and also had the right to sign the draft.

In order to prevent Xu Yang from interfering, Xia Chenan also spent a lot of money to buy the rights to use the East Asia region of The Voice at a price of 500 million per season.

It took more than a year for Xu Yang's investment in Good Voice to pay off, and I have to say that the payback period is long enough.

And this is just an early stage of reward. When the third season is completed, that will be the real reward.

After the two parties negotiated the copyright issue, the atmosphere became much more harmonious. Xia Chenan also took care of the producer Xu Yang and asked him if he had any suggestions about the production of Good Voice.

Yang Ting on the side smiled vaguely, obviously just to give face, you say the classics are yours, whether you listen or not is up to me.

But she didn't believe that Xu Yang would be so polite, and she probably wouldn't do what he wanted.

When Xu Yang heard this, it was as Yang Ting thought and he was seriously thinking about Xia Chenan's question.

However, Yang Ting guessed wrong. She kicked Xu Yang out of the actual producer because he wanted to ensure absolute authority in the production process.

But that doesn't mean he won't listen to other people's opinions, especially since this person was the one who discovered the potential of The Voice earlier than he did.

Of course, there is another reason. As the most popular singer in the Chinese music scene, there was not even one last year. Xu Yang's suggestion is worthy of his attention.

So when Xu Yang was deep in thought, Yang Ting was not in a hurry, and neither was Xia Chenan.

After a long time, Xu Yang finally said: "I think since there is copyright in East Asia, it can't be limited to our country, but other places in East Asia are also included."

"But one thing to note is that the main cast of The Voice must be Chinese or overseas Chinese, otherwise, let alone the rest, the first season will be a hit."

"There are models that can be used as a reference but cannot be copied. They must be in line with national conditions."

"There must be a representative singer from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places in the country. The specific personnel needs to be considered by the director, but I still hope that I can have a replacement and recommendation quota in the end."

Xia Chenan nodded, and what Xu Yang said was indeed something that needed attention.

As for the last point, there is no way to avoid this. After all, the relationship in the entertainment industry is too complicated. Who knows whether Xu Yang will be the one to ask for it in the end, so Xia Chenan agreed.

But now there is a new problem, and that is the name. After all, what kind of voice is there in foreign countries? You can't use the voice of Huaxia now, right?
It sounds loud, but actually it doesn't work well. First of all, it violates a taboo.

"Well, let's call it The Voice of China."

Xu Yang revealed a hint of nostalgia as he spoke. After all, he hadn't heard this name for a long time.

For him, this is not only the name of a variety show, but also a symbol, an era that represents youth.

Xia Chenan didn't notice Xu Yang's trance. He was completely attracted by the name Xu Yang said.

After reciting it carefully twice, Xia Chenan laughed loudly and said "good words" three times in a row.

"Okay, okay, okay, let's call it The Voice of China!"

"Look, this show is about selecting the best voices!"

Hearing this, Xu Yang smiled bitterly and thought to himself, I hope so. After all, talent shows have never started well and ended well from the beginning.

But this is all a thing for another day. Now that the Good Voice account has been launched, Xu Yang is also very happy. After all, it means that there is new open source.
