Chapter 256 What kind of trouble is this?

The program "Star Podcast" is essentially a medium that recommends excellent domestic film and television works to the audience, especially the films and television works of the new generation of directors and actors.

The program has no script and is just a discussion, so the recording process is quite relaxed.

It took more than an hour to record enough material for the program. Following the host's instructions, Li Youzhi got up from the sofa and talked to the on-site staff about his troubles.

"Hello, classmate Xiaozhi, I am Wang Xiwen, director of the film purchasing and sales department. Do you have time to chat?"

As soon as he stepped off the stage in the recording studio, Li Youzhi saw a thin middle-aged man wearing glasses smiling and nodding at him.

Looking at the person in front of him and hearing his position, Li Youzhi smiled and nodded.

The film purchasing and sales department came to see him, and he knew the purpose of the other party's visit needless to say.

"Hello, Director Wang! What can I do?"

"It's like this. We feel that the movie "Super Hero" is very suitable for broadcasting on our movie channel, so we would like to talk about the broadcasting rights of this movie after your billing period."

The other party got straight to the point, so Li Youzhi gave up his attempts to be polite.

In fact, the movie "Super Hero", strictly speaking, has nothing to do with me now.

As we all know, everything after the film is released, except for the division of accounts, belongs to the producer.

According to the supplementary contract signed for the second time by Rongying, all profits earned after the film is released will be split 50:50 between the investor Rongying Group and the producer Heguang Culture and Agricultural Film Research Institute. If a subsequent award is won, the winning bonus will go to Agricultural Film and Heguang Culture. But the distribution rights and broadcast rights still belong to Rongying.

But just because the contract is written like this, it doesn't mean that Li Youzhi can't make the decision.

Recently, "Super Hero" has done well at the box office, and the production cost of less than 10 million has been recovered. According to previous estimates of the revenue decline rate of NetEase, Rongying will still be able to get almost 30 million yuan in revenue in the next six months. It can be said to be the most cost-effective investment that Rongying has made in the past year or two.

In view of this profit, Liu Zhenyang has been quite eager in recent days. Just the day before Li Youzhi left for the capital, this guy had just invited the main leaders of the research institute to have dinner with Li Youzhi to celebrate the online box office exceeding 10 million.

After the payment period of the network is over, the platform basically has no recommendations. By then, it will definitely sell the second round of broadcast rights.

It’s just that the price of the second-round broadcast rights is hard to say right now. After all, anyone who watches it can see that this film will definitely win awards in the future. If the award is of higher value, the second-round broadcast rights will be higher.

But in any case, the second-round broadcast rights of the Internet University are not expensive. Unless you get a top domestic award like the Golden Rooster Watch, the second round of broadcast rights will basically be priced at 500,000-1.5 million.

Now that the movie channel has shown interest in this film, Li Youzhi smiled heartily and said: "Director Wang, you should talk to Rongying Group about this matter. I am the creative team here and have the second-round broadcast rights. It belongs to the producer."

Li Youzhi said this, and Wang Xiwen smiled and nodded.

"I thought you were the one doing the publishing, so I thought..."

Just when Wang Xiwen wanted to say a few polite words and then contact Rong Ying, Li Youzhi directly took out the phone.

"But I got here today. I can help you talk to Mr. Liu from Rongying Group. Director Wang, please wait a moment."

Smiling and making a wait gesture to Wang Xiwen, Li Youzhi stood by the wall of the recording room and dialed the number in front of Wang Xiwen.

The call was answered almost instantly.

"Hello? Mr. Liu, is it convenient to talk now? Let me tell you something; didn't I come to Beijing to participate in the program recording this time? I happened to meet Wang Xiwen, the director of the movie channel's purchasing and sales department. We had been chatting for a long time just now. I talked to him about promoting the movie "Superheroes", and guess what?

Director Wang was particularly interested in our film and told me that they were going to organize a screening of outstanding domestic film works. I think the movie channel is promoted by China. We, Rongying Film, are the producers of this film, and you are the production representative. If it can be shown on this show, it will be beneficial to both our Rongying Film and you.

Can I not say it? I will introduce you to Director Wang immediately! Mr. Liu, I left your phone number with him. Director Wang just said that the number of excellent film exhibition works is limited. If he contacts you later, you will have to pay less for the second round of broadcast authorization fees. Let's take advantage of this pit first! "

"Haha, no need to thank you! Mr. Liu supports me so much, isn't that what it should be!"

"Tsk! How can that be done? How can I dare to make the decision on this matter? Isn't that just across the pot, table and kang, acting as a substitute? Besides, if I make the decision, it is considered a business, but when the time comes, Director Wang will contact you, you can symbolically If you charge some licensing fees, wouldn’t this become a friendship! Why thank you, Mr. Liu usually takes such good care of me, this is what I should do..."

On the side, watching Li Youzhi's fierce operations, Wang Xiwen stood up straight and straightened his back silently.

He just heard that Li Youzhi was coming to record the show. He originally thought that the other party was a student and came to inquire about the situation.

After all, students may be simpler.

Although the movie channel is affiliated with China Propaganda, it needs to buy a large number of movies every year, so the funds are always insufficient.

But now that he saw Li Youzhi's operation, Wang Xiwen was shocked.

Are you telling me this is a student?

If you were a student, you would have to be a player who could only be cultivated by reading internal magazines from the time you were breastfeeding!

interesting.

This young man is interesting!

"Director Wang, that's it. The Rongying Group is not short of money. This film has a good income in the installment period. When the second round of broadcast rights comes, you can give me a token amount. Don't say that the secret is exposed. Let me talk about Liu Zhenyang Please note the general manager’s phone number.”

Putting down the phone, Li Youzhi blinked at Wang Xiwen and made a gesture of deal with it.

Wang Xiwen waved... couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Classmate Xiaozhi, how good is your relationship with Mr. Liu?"

"Hi, Party A and Party B."

Seeing Li Youzhi's clear words, Wang Xiwen couldn't help laughing and gave a thumbs up.

"Yes! I've remembered your favor. I'll call Mr. Liu later. Please give me your WeChat message first. Just for today's call, I'll treat you to a meal!"

Hey!

Hearing what Wang Xiwen said, Li Youzhi laughed.

What is a win-win situation? ! A win-win situation means Brother Zhi wins twice!

After scanning the QR code to add Li Youzhi's WeChat account, Wang Xiwen looked at Li Youzhi carefully and said happily;

"Xiao Zhi, do you have any idea of ​​taking the public examination? Our Film Channel Center is recruiting people this year, and our purchasing and sales department has a quota, and the interview score is 60%. If you have an idea, I will reserve this position for you. Our purchasing and sales department... needs talents like you!"

Beep!

Received amazing points from Wang Xiwen, 10 points!

Looking at the system prompts that lit up in front of his eyes, Li Youzhi grinned and shook his head.

The movie channel is really tempting.

But there are too many people who are thinking about Brother Zhi, and your conditions are not even close...

Seeing Li Youzhi shaking his head, Wang Xiwen unfortunately clicked his tongue.

"I'll help you get the household registration in Beijing."

"Director Wang, I'm used to being wild..."

Faced with Li Youzhi's polite rejection, Wang Xiwen laughed, but he didn't force it.

"Okay, although our movie channel mainly cooperates with China Film for self-production, some projects are also for external projects. If there is a chance, we will cooperate with you!"

Hey Sensible!

Hearing this, Li Youzhi laughed and solemnly thanked him.

After a few more words, he went out and met Liu Meng and others waiting outside the door, and left the channel's office building.

…

After coming out of the old CCTV building, Li Youzhi, Liu Meng and others went directly to the Military Arts and Culture Center.

Propaganda agencies of this type are all virtuous, and the thieves who are strictly controlled outside all have police posts.

Fortunately, Li Youzhi called Chu Haijian in advance when he arrived. When they got off the car, a tall man in civilian military uniform was already waiting there.

Seeing Li Youzhi getting out of the taxi, Chu Haijian adjusted his military cap and hurriedly greeted him.

"Xiao Zhi, welcome!"

This was not the first time that Chu Haijian had met Li Youzhi, but Li Youzhi had never met Chu Haijian before.

Feeling the strong military style of the other party, Li Youzhi shook hands with the other party tightly.

"Director Chu, our show will be recorded here?"

"right."

With a heavy nod, Chu Haijian filled out a registration form with the soldiers at the gate, and then took Li Youzhi and Liu Meng into the Military Arts and Culture Center.

While walking, he briefly introduced the program "1950 They Are Young" to Li Youzhi.

"This program has actually been recorded a long time ago... It cannot be said that it has been recorded a long time ago. To be precise, this program itself is re-edited based on a documentary. It is a documentary film previously produced by our Military Art and Culture Center. It was released in theaters across the country, but the box office performance was not very good.

But we think the material in it is very good. You don’t know, it took four years to record the program material. Many veterans of the volunteer army who were previously interviewed have now passed away, and there may no longer be such material in the future.

We were not willing to just leave this film there to get moldy, so we thought of taking advantage of the 70th anniversary of the victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea to broadcast it online in the form of a talk show.

I invite you here this time because I want you to help record the opening sequence. You now have some appeal among young audiences. This will allow more viewers to pay attention to the program and achieve better publicity effects. "

Hearing Chu Haijian's sincere and straightforward words, Li Youzhi nodded.

The theme of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea is indeed difficult to get high ratings. In fact, this theme is not very popular.

Take this wave of "Super Heroes" as an example. In fact, it is able to achieve such a reputation because of the brilliance of the heroes.

But being able to achieve the current box office... is mostly due to Brother Zhi's cool operations.

"Okay, Director Chu, let me watch the film first and then think about how to record it..."

While talking, Li Youzhi had already followed Chu Haijian into a recording room in the production center.

As soon as he opened the door, Li Youzhi heard a roar coming from inside.

"Why should he, a yellow-haired boy, be allowed to participate in this program? What qualifications does he have to be compared with a group of veterans of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea? To make this documentary, we visited more than a dozen provinces and collected more than 200 hours of material.

For what?

The purpose is to show the audience the deeds of those who did not make any meritorious service in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and even did not even leave their names when they died! The protagonists of this film and this program can only be veterans. I will never allow an actor or a college student who has not yet graduated to participate in the recording of the feature film!

Don't tell me that he has played Huang Jiguang, even if he has played M Zhuxi! "

Standing at the door, looking at a black man in civilian uniform inside who looked to be in his thirties angrily smashed the ballpoint pen in his hand to the ground, Li Youzhi blinked and looked at Chu Haijian beside him.

What kind of commotion is this?
