"Now there are seven companies that are interested."

"Director Wei, based on the price they quoted us now, we will make a fortune... The cost of this program is too low." The biggest cost for the "Star Mirror" production team is the announcement fee that Director Wei paid to Huang Zijiao, which includes the compensation paid to the victims on Huang Zijiao's behalf.

This money is naturally paid by the program crew. Although Director Wei does not lack this money, there is no need for him to pay it from his own pocket.

Even so, the current sponsorship fee alone is far more than the compensation.

Because the program "Star Mirror" has certain risks and does not require any investment.

There is only one camera and one host, and all they need to do is chat casually, so the production team did not solicit investment in advance.

Director Wei was urging us to do it urgently.

The program team also wants to see which way the wind blows.

As long as the show can be saved, they are confident in the ratings and broadcast volume.

As long as it becomes popular, the sponsorship fee will definitely become sky-high.

If you attract investment in advance, you will earn less and increase some risks, but you are confident in your own group.

As it turned out, the confidence was correct.

Director Wei added, "Contact the glasses company. Other companies should first undergo a risk review, as per our usual collaborative style. This program is risky, and there are too many companies with risks these days."

Especially foreign-funded companies.

There are always some outrageous remarks.

It will be troublesome to terminate the contract and pay compensation at that time.

"clear."

"Director Wei, many people in Taiwan are calling me."

Huang Zijiao was a little panicked.

Director Wei said calmly, "Turn off your phone, change your card, and don't contact me. Prepare the second draft for next week. I'll take care of everything else for you."

Huang Zijiao asked with concern, "Director Wei, the pressure from your peers is not that bad. Will there be any problems with the review?"

What he is more worried about is being banned from the domestic entertainment industry.

Because he will definitely be banned by Taiyu.

If he is not included in the domestic entertainment industry, he will die immediately.

Director Wei reassured him, "Don't worry, even if the higher-ups don't allow the show to continue, I'll still put it on the overseas version of Station A. Furthermore, the overseas version of Station A is collaborating with Netflix, so we don't rule out putting the show on Netflix in the future. I won't mistreat the people who work for me, so just focus on the show."

Huang Zijiao let out a long sigh: "Director Wei is so generous. I will go prepare the second episode and I will definitely not let you down."

"Well, do your best. As long as the show's popularity and influence remain, I guarantee you'll be more famous than that group of people."

After Huang Zijiao was comforted, Boss Zhou called immediately.

Not surprisingly, this is it.

"Director Wei, what's going on with your 'Star Mirror'?"

Director Wei asked Boss Zhou, "Brother Zhou, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"nonsense."

"The truth is, I was smeared by Tai Yu before, and I was displeased with that group of people. They made me unhappy, so I took the blame for them."

Boss Zhou: “…” So damn willful.

With his physique, it is impossible for him to be as unscrupulous as Director Wei.

I felt a little envious for a moment.

"Where are the lies?"

"Break the celebrity filter, rectify the chaos in fan circles, maintain social stability, and create a harmonious society."

Boss Zhou: "...Director Wei, it's a shame you didn't join the system."

This little official speaks so much nonsense.

More skilled than him.

"Brother Zhou, I promise we can accomplish some of our goals. Even though this show has only aired its first episode, it's already become a hit, with sponsors waving their money to offer their support. If you just mind your own business, the business will thrive. This show alone will easily generate hundreds of millions in profits."

In most cases, a hit variety show earns more than a hit movie.

Unless the box office of this blockbuster movie can exceed 30 billion.

Otherwise, the return rate of variety shows would be higher than that of movies, especially popular variety shows.

The number given by Director Wei is not an exaggeration.

Boss Zhou was not surprised.

What surprised Boss Zhou was what Director Wei said next.

"There are some less popular programs in China, such as those promoting traditional culture, documentaries, or tribute films, all of which require investment. Brother Zhou, if 'Star Mirror' continues to air, I will use half of the profits from this program to sponsor programs needed by the government, whether they are variety shows or tribute dramas. Profit is not the main goal, but to provide a complementary service."

Boss Zhou was tempted.

There's no way not to be moved.

Director Wei just opened his mouth and offered to give away hundreds of millions.

No one can withstand it.

And they really have Kpl.

Businessmen only need to consider profit.

They need to consider all aspects, and profit is not the only consideration, or even the first consideration.

Many plays are either missions, personal favors, favoritism of bigwigs, or the promotion of traditions. In short, even if they don’t make money, the official has to approve the project.

But when the final settlement is made, unprofitable projects will definitely affect the overall evaluation of the person in charge like him.

If Director Wei is willing to invest several hundred million, he can solve his big problem.

There are actually quite a few domestic businessmen who have this awareness.

But not many in the entertainment industry.

Because most of the bosses in the entertainment industry...are not as powerful as the bigwigs.

It is far behind the richest man or even the top ten in other industries.

Even if they are aware of this, their wealth does not support them doing so.

Director Wei is different.

Director Wei’s wealth does not come from the entertainment industry.

Only Director Wei is willing to cooperate so generously with real money.

As long as there is enough interest, everything can be negotiated.

"Brother Zhou, there's actually another benefit to not stopping our show."

Director Wei threw out another important bait.

"Let's be frank. We're all family, so I won't be vague. Brother Zhou, there are often times when the higher-ups need to divert their attention, right?"

Boss Zhou's tone changed slightly.

"Director Wei, what do you want to say?"

"Leave this show. When the higher-ups want to divert public attention, I'll have the production team produce a hit episode to successfully divert public opinion."

Boss Zhou's heart was pounding.

"Director Wei, are you sure you can do this?"

"I am sure."

"I always thought that doing this was against your principles, so I never contacted you before."

Yes, he had done this kind of thing before.

When you need to divert public opinion, just kill a celebrity as a sacrifice. It’s simple and easy to do.

There are not many people offended and a fixed process has already been formed.

It’s just that Director Wei had never cooperated with Boss Zhou before, so he had never contacted Director Wei.

After all, this kind of work is somewhat rough in the eyes of real experts.

Director Wei complained: "I've figured it out. Whether I do it or not, things will develop this way. Since I can't stop it, I'll just join in."

Whether he agrees or not, killing celebrities as sacrifices is a major trend.

It would be better to take the initiative into your own hands.

At least he felt that his moral integrity was better than that of other people in charge of this matter.

He will not completely suppress the voices that should be seen and heard by the world.

In the future, all voices will become increasingly silent.

"I'm now the controller of one of the largest media platforms, so I should have this awareness. Brother Zhou, what do you think of my proposal?"

“I think it makes sense.”

Director Wei gave him face.

He also has to give face to Director Wei.

After all, Director Wei can now truly be called a media tycoon.

In terms of influence in the media circle, perhaps only Pony Ma can match him in China.

But Xiao Ma Ge is more low-key than Director Wei.

Although Director Wei also works behind the scenes, he still has to stand on the stage occasionally.

As new media develops at an increasingly rapid pace, Penguin's profit focus is on games. In the media field, it is no exaggeration to say that Director Wei is the number one giant.

Such a giant has shown goodwill to him, and he must give something back.

What's more, Director Wei doesn't ask for much.

At the same time that Director Wei and Boss Zhou reached a consensus.

Song Zuer is shivering.

Chen Naling pressed the pause button and sat opposite the interview team.

Took out a contract.

It was the contract she signed with the crew of Surprise Era.

The contract stipulates the liquidated damages that the artist must pay if he or she breaches the contract.

After seeing the contract, Song Zuer's face turned pale. "Sister Dudu, what are you doing?"

Chen Duling felt a little emotional.

Song Zuer had called her "Sister Dudu" before, but she had never used the honorific "you".

The little girl is still very flexible.
