Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 709 Stable
"Our company's instructor? Of course you can." Da Tiantian thought about it and nodded.

After she and Zhou Mo finalized the plan for the live audition, they discussed the many risks that might be faced in this audition.

One of them is that during the audition process, some audition teachers blatantly made problems in the audition due to personal grudges or interests.

This kind of thing is not just a fantasy.

There are countless cases in the industry where large companies have suffered huge losses due to the private operations of their own employees.

Using public funds to chase stars.

Using public funds to reward the anchor.

The data was fabricated using public funds.

Using public funds to form cliques for personal gain and deceive those above them.

And those who use company accounts for personal gain and express their own tendencies on public online platforms.

Zhou Mo could not accept this situation the most.

The company that I worked so hard to run was betrayed by someone for his own selfish interests.

There is no place to cry.

Da Tiantian can't accept such a thing either.

After all, she is the big boss and has been involved in the company's management in recent years.

She felt very sad even thinking about all her hard work going to waste.

For this reason, she even fired several old employees.

Therefore, choosing a suitable audition teacher is a particularly important thing.

"It would be okay if the audition teacher is chosen from the instructor. After all, if their actions bring a public opinion crisis to the company, these people will basically not be able to stay in the industry." Da Tiantian thought to herself, and then nodded.

after one day.

Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian flew to the Magic City together.

Zhou Mo came to Shanghai mainly for two things this time.

The first thing, of course, was to meet with Ren Zhonglun and the leaders of Tomato TV regarding this year’s Magnolia Awards.

"Director Zhou, I have already watched Victory 3. It is very well made. I am very optimistic about the performance of this film this year."

After three rounds of drinks, Ren Zhonglun said to Zhou Mo.

"Then I'd like to borrow Mr. Ren's good wishes. I hope this play can have a happy ending for everyone." Zhou Mo smiled and clinked glasses with him.

"By the way, I remember that Victory 3 broke the ratings record again this time," Ren Zhonglun suddenly asked.

Someone immediately responded, "The ratings for 'Victory 3' broke last year's record two days ago, and judging from the current situation, it is still rising."

Ren Zhonglun nodded: "It really is worthy of being a TV series produced by Shanhe Company. It breaks records right away."

Zhou Mo politely said: "This achievement and the fact that it can be broadcast on Tomato TV are also largely due to this. I also have to thank President Ren for arranging the prime time slot for Victory 3."

Ren Zhonglun laughed and said, "Given our friendship, Director Zhou, please don't be polite. I will follow up on the follow-up arrangements for Victory 3, and Shanhe Company should not fall behind in the publicity. This year is indeed a good opportunity. I wish us all good results."

Zhou Mo clinked glasses with him again.

After one hour.

The meal is over.

Just when Zhou Mo thought that today's topic was completely over, Ren Zhonglun suddenly brought up "The Red Tower" again.

"Speaking of which, the news about Zhulou at Shanhe Company has been heard everywhere these days, and it has caused quite a stir."

Zhou Mo said inwardly, "As expected."

There is no reason not to mention "Red Tower" during today's meal.

It turned out to be after dinner. "For publicity, you always have to come up with some eye-catching gimmicks."

Ren Zhonglun paused for a moment and continued, "I wonder what Director Zhou's plan is for the future broadcast of Zhulou?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Mo instantly understood what Ren Zhonglun meant.

He didn't try to play Tai Chi, but said directly: "Mr. Ren is like this, the broadcast of "Red Mansion" is actually similar to "I Want to Be the Emperor".

One is the content issue. Some problems in the script of "I Want to Be the Emperor" will also appear in "Red Tower".

Another problem is that since "Zhu Lou" has not started production yet, I cannot accurately predict what the final profit will be if it charges exclusively for the show on Zouli Station, but what is certain is that it will not be lower than "I Want to Be the Emperor", and Mr. Ren must have also made an estimate of this.

Therefore, I cannot give you a definite answer now as to whether "Zhu Lou" will be broadcast exclusively or on other channels in the future, Mr. Ren.

However, Mr. Ren hasn't made up his mind yet, so we should both think about it for a while, discuss it, and communicate about it again."

Previously, when "I Want to Be the Emperor" was being filmed, channels such as Tomato TV and Mango TV contacted it and tried to purchase it.

But in the end, due to sensitive topics and Shanhe Company's excessively high offer, the purchase fell through.

Tomato TV and Mango TV have also implicitly stated that Shanhe Company's offer was too high.

Afterwards, when the revenue data of "I Want to Be the Emperor" came out, many people were shocked.

Therefore, as soon as the news about "Zhu Lou" came out, Ren Zhonglun naturally wanted to take the lead and see if he could take advantage of this opportunity to get it directly.

But he didn't expect Zhou Mo to be more direct than him.

Just pull up and the price will be quoted.

Ren Zhonglun thought about it and really couldn't make up his mind immediately.

It would be a joke to say that the TV station has no money and cannot afford to broadcast "Red Tower".

Tomato TV is now one of the most famous TV stations in China. Except for the fact that it is still inferior to Mango TV, it can basically compete with all the other TV stations.

Not to mention the broadcasting rights of "Zhu Lou", even the exclusive broadcasting rights are out of the question.

But the profits after the purchase are indeed a problem for the TV station.

The topic of the gradual death of television channels has been discussed for many years.

Whether it can be solved, how to solve it, and where the problem lies, there is no answer.

But in any case, it is an indisputable fact that fewer and fewer people watch TV.

Tomato TV can certainly buy the broadcast rights for "Zhu Lou", but what can be predicted in the future is that the price paid will most likely not be recovered.

"Thank you for your reminder, Director Zhou. I'll think about it when I get back."

"Well, let's keep in touch later."

Zhou Mo nodded and said goodbye to Ren Zhonglun.

Halfway through the conversation, Da Tiantian suddenly said, "I feel like the broadcast rights for Zhu Lou will most likely not be sold this time."

Zhou Mo nodded: "Your guess is correct, it really can't be sold."

"How to say."

"The reason is very simple. Tomato TV even thought that the previous "I Want to Be the Emperor" was expensive. "Red Mansion" is a year later, so it will definitely be more expensive."

When Da Tiantian heard this, she suddenly felt a little emotional.

"It's only been eight years, and I didn't expect the TV channel to suddenly decline to this extent. Things are unpredictable."

When Zhou Mo heard this, he suddenly sneered.

"Isn't this situation the result of those people's own actions?"
