Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 791 Let's do it.

"Things like clothing, certificates, trophies, prizes, and bonuses all depend on you big bosses. The station doesn't give us much money, but they did give us some time slots, which we can allocate internally."

Team Leader Liu took a form out of his bag and handed it to Xiao Wei: "There is a detailed schedule here, please take a look."

Xiao Wei took a look and saw that the sponsorship was divided into several tiers: 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 30,000, and 50,000. Correspondingly, there were different time slots and durations for the event. There would be a press conference before the event started, which sponsors could attend, and major sponsors could speak at the press conference.

Xiao Wei asked, "How much money do you need in total? It'll be quite a lot if we bring all of this over."

Sister Liu laughed and said, "It's not that easy. This job is tough. You have to beg people everywhere and put up with their attitudes. Usually, it's just a few thousand yuan, and you have to flatter them and make a bunch of demands. This time, the estimated sponsorship is 100,000 yuan, but whether we can even meet that demand is another question. There are more than a dozen people running around outside."

Chen Hui asked, "How many matches will you broadcast this time?"

Sister Liu said, "The preliminary round, the semi-final, the final, and the preliminary round will not be broadcast. There will be four broadcasts, one every Saturday, which will last for a month. The whole event will last for two months."

Chen Hui said, "What about GG? It's only on Saturdays, right?"

Sister Liu smoothed her hair again and said, "It depends on how much you sponsor. If it's over ten thousand, there will be arrangements every day for 30 seconds a day. If it's thirty thousand, we guarantee 60 seconds a day. If it's 50,000, it's a title sponsorship, and 180 seconds a day."

Back in 92, TV streaming wasn't as popular or prestigious as it is today. There were fewer channels, fewer people went on TV to stream, and streaming fees weren't as expensive. Back then, TV stations were practically begging people to stream, unlike later when people lined up to beg TV stations.

Back then, shows were often broadcast consecutively without interruption, and there wouldn't be any breaks in a single episode of a TV drama. Who would have thought that later it would become a TV drama interspersed within episodes of GG?

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it, let's use a cake shop. Sister Liu, can your TV station help with the recording?"

Sister Liu said, "Yes, definitely. You can record whatever you want. We'll provide the staff to do it for you, and you can broadcast it after you're satisfied with what you see."

These days, video editing is actually quite simple. It mostly consists of text readings, and anything with images is considered high-end. Video editing simply involves recording a few shots at a designated location, adding dense text, and then having a announcer read it aloud—that's it.

Xiao Wei said to Chen Hui, "Let's do it? Use a birthday cake to record a few storefronts, and mention the whole city."

Chen Hui handed the form back to Sister Liu and said, "You decide. If you want it done, then do it. It's not a big deal."

Xiao Wei turned to Sister Liu and said, "Sister Liu, let's do it then. We can't let you come all this way for nothing. How about this? We'll pay half the money and give you a shopping card for the other half. You can use the card to redeem things at any store in the province."

Sister Liu asked, "Where do you all have shops?"

Chen Hui said, "Fengtian, Beixi, Andong, Anshan, Dalian, and Longcheng are the only six cities that have this for now. Panjin, Yingkou, and HLD in Jinzhou are still under construction and may not be able to open for a while."

Sister Liu said, "That's really impressive! Your business is really big. No problem, we can adjust things internally later. Which segment are you going to focus on?"

Chen Hui said, "Let's get a naming rights sponsorship. Nothing else really matters. Thirty thousand yuan, twenty thousand yuan for cards, okay?" He turned to Xiao Wei and asked. Xiao Wei nodded and said, "Okay, Li Na, you handle the specific arrangements for the male players. I think she's still handling the male player placements on the court."

Sister Liu beamed with joy, saying, "You don't need to worry about the sponsor, he'll be there the whole time. Just watch TV and you'll see him. He has connections, and the host will also talk about him."

Li Na said, "Where is GG being recorded? Is it recorded at headquarters? Or at the factory?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let's just film the shops instead of the factory ones. We'll mainly film the cake decorating and the shops themselves. We'll film several shops, but we'll focus on the Forbidden City and Zhongjie shops. You guys need to think of some good lines."

Li Na asked, "How about playing Full House?"

Xiao Wei said, "Yes, Romantic House Bakery."

Sister Liu couldn't help but laugh, and took the contract out of her bag, handing it to Xiao Wei: "Boss, take a look at the contract."

Xiao Wei flipped through the page and asked, "Could we increase the daily GG time?"

Sister Liu said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask around for you, and I'll explain it to you properly."

Xiao Wei handed the contract back to Sister Liu and said, "Okay, then go back and ask. Once you've discussed it, come back and sign it. Just have Li Na sign it."

Sister Liu packed up her things and left with her colleagues, thanking them profusely. Chen Hui said, "They get a commission when they come out to solicit sponsorships. She'll get a good cut of 5,000 from us, at least 5,000. That's amazing."

Xiao Wei said, "It's just a game of 'GG,' even if she doesn't come, we'll still play. Why do you care how they split the money? Hello, what's going on here?" He turned and greeted the three people on the street.

The woman from the neighborhood, Sister Li, handed Xiao Wei a form: "It's almost autumn, and many elderly people and children are left unattended. It's so pitiful. The civil affairs department only gives a little money, which isn't enough to do much. We're here on behalf of the government to raise funds from the public to buy things for these orphans and elderly people and give them some living expenses."

Xiao Wei took the form. It contained some platitudes and bore the official seal of the civil affairs department. Below were the donation amounts and corresponding reward clauses, but there was nothing substantial about it; it was all empty talk. Donating five hundred yuan would get you a certificate, donating several thousand would get you a good citizen award, and so on—just little red flowers.

As they were watching, a man surnamed He on the street said, "You can just give 50,000. What kind of important business is that with the TV station? You've already given 50,000. This is a national event. You can give money or cards."

Xiao Wei was looking at the list of welfare homes and the "Five Guarantees" households when he heard the man surnamed He speak. He turned to look at him and asked Sister Li, "Where is this activity from? Is it from the city or the district?"

Sister Li said, "This is a national call, and we are just responding to the call to run errands. It's hard for the elderly living alone. The children in the welfare home don't know where their next meal is coming from, and they don't even have enough clothes for the season. You are doing important things and have some spare money, so helping out is a good deed."

Xiao Wei said, "I'm asking whether this event was initiated by the city or the district. I haven't heard of it. Also, are you asking for money or supplies? How will the money be allocated? How will the supplies be distributed? There needs to be an explanation for all of this, right?"

The man surnamed He said, "This is a national initiative, and our neighborhood is responding to the call. Don't be so worldly, young man. Doing good deeds accumulates good karma. Why do you have to exchange favors with some level of government? We will manage the money centrally. Use it as you see fit, so you don't need to worry about it."

Xiao Wei handed the watch to Li Na: "Make a copy."

Li Na took it and went out. Xiao Wei asked, "I didn't see a limit on it. You just gave me a certain amount right away. Where did it come from?"
