You are a star, why do you have all the skills from the underworld?

Liu Guoping was ashamed.

He immediately corrected:

"Well, please explain."

"This program planning project was not done by me. I asked it from an expert in this field. This expert has made great achievements in many fields, and has also been popular in TV programs. Extraordinary."

Everyone: No wonder~

If it was really our director who did it, how could he take it out now?

Obviously not.

With Director Liu's temper, he must have discussed it long ago. How could we wait until today? Main Channel 3, as a cultural channel, has been beaten to the ground by local satellite TV in the past two years. Everyone has had enough of this cowardice.

"Director, since you started this, let me express my views."

"Like Producer Zhang, I think this program can be developed."

"The reason is, apart from the gimmicks that everyone can see, there is also a very important point. I think this music variety show is a real music show. It relies on listening to select talents, rather than relying on popularity, packaging, and sensationalism. , this ensures the purity of the music, and it will definitely become a breath of fresh air when put on the market!"

"I also think I can give it a try."

"It's a good show."

"Has the budget been roughly calculated?"

"Is there a shortlist of candidates for the four mentors?"

Everyone spoke one after another and opened up the conversation.

By the end of the chat, we all started talking about some specific details.

However, everyone's views were surprisingly unanimous, and they all believed that this music complex could be developed. This was something Liu Guoping had never thought about. He originally thought that even if most people agreed, there would definitely be objections.

It's better now, there's not a single discordant sound.

After everyone had finished speaking, Liu Guoping said:

"Today is just a preliminary meeting."

"Since everyone thinks this can be done, I will contact the author of this plan and discuss cooperation with him in detail. As for the specific program preparations, wait for my news."

"By the way, Xiao Zhou, you can search for the staff of the program team first, and prepare for the funding approval at the same time."

"Once the start is confirmed from my side, the show must be launched as quickly as possible!"

The rest of the people were all a little excited: "Got it~"

Maybe I can use this show to get out of the anger I've suffered in the past two years.

Let those local satellite TV stations see what a real music variety show is!

Liu Guoping is the person in charge of Channel 3. Whatever he decides is basically decided. However, the birth of a new program still needs to be reported to the station and apply for some funds.

The next afternoon, he made an appointment with Xu Yi to come to Taili to discuss cooperation in detail.

According to Liu Guoping, Xu Yi is a musician himself, and he was in the limelight during last year's rookie season. The best male singer of the year and the best female singer of the year, all the songs sung were written by Xu Yi, and Xu Yi himself also won the best new creative artist of the year award for the first time.

This incident caused quite a stir in the industry and on the Internet at the time.

Therefore, it is not impossible if Xu Yi has a seat among the four great mentors.

As for the other three mentors, just look for them from famous singers.

Xu Yi walked into Liu Guoping's office on time according to the agreed time.

"Come on, come on, Xiao Xu, sit down."

Liu Guoping made tea and said with great enthusiasm: "I'm sorry to ask you to make another trip. The main reason is to push this matter forward quickly. I'll hold an internal filing meeting with your program planning proposal."

"All Channel 3 personnel voted unanimously to approve."

"So, we are definitely going to do this music variety show. I just don't know if you have any conditions, Xiao Xu?"

Xu Yi had already guessed this result.

As long as they are not stupid, anyone can discover the potentially explosive elements of this music variety. The three sets of the main station have been holding it in for two years without even letting out a fart. Now that he has such a God-given opportunity, can Liu Guoping give up just in front of his eyes?

Obviously impossible.

Xu Yi thought for a while and first put forward his biggest request:

"Director Liu, I can give you the program."

"But I have to keep the copyright of this show in my own hands."

"How is this possible?" Liu Guoping blurted out subconsciously, then realized the problem with his tone, and immediately relaxed a little, saying: "Xiao Xu, you should know that the copyright of the programs produced by the main station must be in the hands of the main station."

After a pause, he continued:

"We can buy the rights from you, for any amount of money."

Xu Yi did not give in, but said: "Director Liu, I definitely want to hold the copyright of the program in my own hands. However, I can promise that the copyright of this program recorded by the main station belongs to the main station. But the president of Good Voice I will not transfer the copyright."

At the beginning of the negotiations, there was a bit of a deadlock.

Liu Guoping didn't know why Xu Yi was so stubborn and insisted on a copyright matter. How much is copyright worth? The main station just paid for it, so why does it sound like you're still unwilling to sell it?

"Xiao Xu, is there any room for change in this matter?"

"Do you think this will work? You can bid a higher price, and I will fight for you. But the copyright must be sold to the main station together with the program. Otherwise, the main station will buy the next program idea, and this business It’s no longer worth it.”

If you change hands and sell it to a local satellite TV, then several TV stations will fight and the programs will be the same, then this matter will not mean much.

This is what Liu Guoping is worried about.

But what Xu Yi thinks about is how to harvest the wool of capitalism after the show becomes popular.

"Director Liu, this is my bottom line."

"If this is the case, I'm afraid we won't be able to continue talking about this program." Liu Guoping was also in a dilemma. He had just held an internal discussion meeting and everyone agreed that this could be done. As a result, I got stuck on the copyright issue, which makes me a little bit unwilling to think about it.

Seeing this, Xu Yi thought for a moment.

Then try to suggest:

"Director Liu, are you worried that after I sell it to you, I will later sell the idea of ​​this program to a local TV station?"

Liu Guoping didn't hide anything. Anyway, the talks were about to break down, so he simply showed his cards:

"I do have this concern."

"Honestly, if the main station wants to create a program, the process is definitely slower than that of local satellite TV. Once you sell your goods to two or even three stores, then the local satellite TV will definitely launch this type of music variety first, and then we will be gone. The first-mover advantage has become a matter of following others’ footsteps again.”

Xu Yi nodded, Liu Guoping's worries were justified.

In business, is it possible for Xu Yi to do this? Of course there is.

Business behavior cannot be simply defined by a gentleman or a villain, so it must be bound by a contract with clear terms.

"How about this." "Director Liu, regarding the copyright of the program, I can transfer all the domestic copyright to the main station. But the overseas copyright of the program must remain in my hands. In this case, you have no worries. Everyone is happy.”

Liu Guoping was stunned: "Overseas copyright?"

These four words made him a little confused.

After all, it’s just a variety show like this, so how can it involve overseas copyrights?

Over the years, I have only heard of purchasing some film rights from overseas and then returning to remake them, but I have never heard of any domestic film or program rights being favored overseas.

This guy wants to hold on to overseas copyrights. Is he so confident in this show?

However, these were not things that Liu Guoping needed to consider. He thought quickly, and there was nothing wrong with leaving the overseas copyright to Xu Yi. At least the main station did not have very strict requirements in this area.

"Okay, then let's follow the plan you mentioned."

"You go back and make a list of expenses. Once we confirm it is correct, we will arrange payment immediately."

Once the big framework is determined, these small details don't take much time.

Liu Guoping's style of doing things is that in the early discussion stage, he will do as much detail as possible; once it is implemented, he will do it vigorously and non-stop.

"And one more thing."

"Xiao Xu, I would like to ask you to be one of the four mentors of the show. I wonder if you are interested in this?"

"Huh?" Xu Yi was quite surprised. In his planning plan, he wrote very clearly that it would be best to hire professional singers who have been famous for a long time and have high national popularity. Judging from Xu Yi's current popularity, it's not a big problem. But after all, his debut time is short and he has not many representative works. Taking up the mentorship is a bit awkward from an overall perspective. "Director Liu, am I not suitable?"

Liu Guoping said, "I think you are quite suitable."

"Listen to me, Director Liu." Xu Yi said earnestly, "Logically speaking, being able to serve as a mentor and earn some appearance fees is an opportunity for me to increase my exposure. However, in terms of the publicity effect of the program, I think it would be better to hire a few singers who have more sung works.”

These are words of conscience.

For the sake of the show, Xu Yi himself turned down this money-making opportunity.

Hearing this, Liu Guoping thought about Xu Yi's words for a moment and said, "That's okay, but...Xiao Xu, since you don't want to be a mentor, I thought of asking you to be the production consultant for this show. Are you willing?"

Production consultant?

The power of the producer and the power of the consultant are one in heaven and one on earth.

Who is this production consultant?

Xu Yi didn't quite understand the responsibilities of this position for a while, so he asked:

"Director Liu, what does this production consultant mainly do?"

"I am not responsible for specific program matters, but at the beginning and after the program is launched, you have to work with us to review the problems in the entire process. Of course, if there is something more outstanding, you can also raise it." Liu Guoping said this It is based on the experience of "If National Treasure Could Talk".

According to Fu Yourong, having Xu Yi as a consultant made the documentary more exciting by 80%!

Otherwise, the "If National Treasure Could Talk" that everyone will see will only be 20% as exciting as it is now.

Regardless of whether this is an exaggeration or not, even if Fu Yourong wants to praise Xu Yi, even if the ratio is reduced to 50%, it will be terrible! One person can make a show so exciting and enjoyable, so this person must win.

When Xu Yi heard this, he probably had some idea in his heart.

This time he did not refuse, "Yes, I can serve as the production consultant."

Liu Guoping stretched out his hand and shook Xu Yi's heartily.

"I hope we can cooperate happily!"

“A pleasure to work with~”

All in all, this is the second cooperation between Xu Yi and the main station. With the successful case of "If National Treasure Could Talk" and "The Voice of China" added to it, Xu Yi will probably become famous not only in the main station, but also in the industry.

Gold medal program planner!

When the time comes, maybe the major local satellite TV stations will take notice and look for me.

It's a pity that Xu Yi doesn't have his own TV station, otherwise, the variety shows in his mind would be implemented continuously.

after come back.

Xu Yi directly told Fat Orange about the results of the negotiation at the main station and asked Fat Orange to follow up on the follow-up matters.

Fat Orange: "No, boss, did you really do it?"

That was a music variety show, Red Sea of ​​Death!

Xu Yi smiled and nodded:

"How could it not be possible if I take action?"

"Don't worry about signing the contract. This show will definitely become popular. Maybe it will also bring out a few new music talents."

Hearing this, Fat Orange expressed his admiration for Xu Yi: "Boss, you are so awesome. How do you think your brain grew? In the past two years, you were just like a lump. In the past year or so, it seems that you have opened up all the ways. The Du Second Meridian seems to have awakened."

Ahem... Worship is worship, but not much.

Even in the past two years, I didn’t have any pimples, right?

Fat Orange took the document, glanced at it, and murmured:

"The Voice of China? Is this the name of the show?"

"Correct."

"The name seems ordinary..." Fat Orange was always so honest in front of Xu Yi. "But since boss, you can even trick people from the main station to come in, it means there must be no problem with the program. I will draft a list first. By the way, boss, what is the appropriate price for the copyright fee?"

Xu Yi didn't know much about this, so he said:

"You can refer to the copyright fees of other music and variety programs in the same period, and it will be within this range."

Because overseas copyrights are retained in Xu Yi's hands, Xu Yi doesn't want to inflate the copyright fee for this piece. This is the first time for everyone to cooperate. Only if we win together will we have the opportunity to cooperate next time. By then, I am a singer and the Masked Singer may not be able to be put on the main stage.

Fat Orange quickly went to prepare for the docking matter.

Day two.

Zheng Tao, Liu Bo, and Guan Yun arrived in the capital and stayed in Xu Yi's courtyard.

It was the first time for the three of them to come to this courtyard, and they couldn't avoid another round of business flattery, saying that their boss was a great guy, etc. Xu Yi didn't interrupt. He didn't buy this courtyard just to brag about it in front of his friends. Just for a moment?

After everyone calmed down from the shock and adulation, Xu Yicai said:

"Welcome Brother Tao!"

"Welcome Brother Bo!"

"Welcome Brother Yun!"

"The three of us will live here from now on. Next, I will have to trouble a few older brothers for my album recording work. I am currently the only singer in our studio, but you don't have to worry, there will be a second one soon." , the third one..." (End of this chapter)
