Chapter 739 Anyway, I have a nickname called "Skinning"

Yang Hongxia complained about Lin Fan, but her hands were not slow at all. She quickly applied for the filing of Lin Fan's new script, and then called Wang Xiuying from Shanghai Satellite TV.

Wang Xiuying had been waiting for Lin Fan's reply. As soon as Yang Hongxia called, Wang Xiuying came over with the contract and official seal.

As soon as he came over, he got straight to the point: "Where's Lin Fan? It doesn't matter if he's not here. Come on, Mr. Yang, let's sign the contract first!"

Yang Hongxia: “…”

Big sister!

You are in a hurry to sign the contract without even reading the script. Aren’t you afraid of being cheated?

Wang Xiuying is not afraid: "The Legend of White Snake has been rebroadcasted several times now, but every time it is rebroadcast, it can still be ranked in the top ten of the ratings. Just for this reason, I signed this contract with Mr. Yang without any loss!"

Not to mention that Lin Fan has a TV series called "Legend of the White Snake" as a base, and the ratings have always been high. Even if Lin Fan didn't have this TV series, Wang Xiuying would have signed this contract just based on Lin Fan's slow variety show "Longing for the Yard" and two popular movies.

In the first place, luck plays a big role in purchasing film and television copyrights. Wang Xiuying has seen many large-scale, star-studded TV series that were heavily promoted before they were released, but saw their ratings plummet after they were released.

On the contrary, it is not uncommon for some online dramas produced by video websites, or low-budget works shot by unknown director teams, to sweep the ratings like a dark horse. This all depends on the vision of the purchaser.

But in most cases, the purchaser buys the copyright with full confidence, and the audience waits for the release with great anticipation. In the end, the ratings and market evaluation are mediocre, just above passing but not excellent. It can retain some audiences for the TV station, but the performance will not be outstanding.

However, even TV dramas and movies that are above the passing line are in great demand on major satellite TV stations, and they have to compete with other satellite TV stations.

In addition, sometimes you make the wrong choice, which not only wastes money but also causes the loss of a group of viewers, which is not worth it.

Therefore, artists like Lin Fan, who can write and direct his own films, have good acting skills, and are famous and popular, are definitely the type of people that Wang Xiuying wants to have a good relationship with.

So just as Wang Xiuying herself said, Shanghai TV did not lose anything by signing this contract.

Yang Hongxia was too familiar with this kind of inexplicable trust in Lin Fan. It was because she was like this. So for Wang Xiuying's straightforward invitation to sign the contract, Yang Hongxia really wanted to just sign the contract with a stroke of the pen! But!

it's out of the question.

The script still needs to be read, and every word of the contract that needs to be discussed must be reviewed word by word. Only after making sure that there are no language traps or loopholes in the terms can Yang Hongxia sign the contract.

Because at this moment Yang Hongxia represents not only herself, but also Lin Fan, so it is not too cautious.

Taking out the script outline, Yang Hongxia verbally explained to Wang Xiuying Lin Fan's general shooting ideas: "... Generally speaking, this is a military film. Lin Fan said that it can definitely meet the requirements of Shanghai Satellite TV for group images, plot and replay quality!"

But it’s hard to say about the ratings.

Lin Fan himself couldn't say for sure what the ratings for this drama would be. This required professionals to make some calculations that even Lin Fan couldn't understand based on the current market situation, the quality of the TV series itself, the personal abilities of the actors, audience feedback and other conditions, in order to come up with an unreliable probability.

Those who assure you right from the start that their drama can definitely break 2 or 3 are most likely bragging, a small probability is that they are just guessing, and only a very small chance is that they have really calculated it.

"Military theme..." Wang Xiuying didn't expect Lin Fan to choose this theme.

Logically speaking, wouldn't Lin Fan, who has such a high appearance value, generally prefer fairy tales, workplace or fashion dramas? Even if it's about military life, it should be the type of Gone with the Wind, right?

Why did they choose to make a military film about a group of rough men? Wang Xiuying couldn't understand, but this did not change her firm determination: "No problem, military themes themselves have a specific audience group. As long as they don't make a god-like drama, the ratings will not be bad."

Military themes fall into the category of mainstream themes, the subject matter is safe, and there is a huge demand for them on TV stations every year. They have relatively stable ratings, and for investors, they are very cost-effective and safe.

Among the many new TV series released every year, military, fantasy, suspense and romance are the most popular. If Wang Xiuying had to choose one theme, she would definitely choose military.

Moreover, Wang Xiuying had already figured out from several scripts Lin Fan had written before that Lin Fan was not the kind of person who could make a "god-level drama", so after listening to Yang Hongxia's general description, Wang Xiuying had even less objection.

So Yang Hongxia and Wang Xiuying happily reached a verbal agreement. The specific contract terms still require harmonious and friendly negotiations between the legal departments of both parties, and only after communicating word by word can they be finally signed.

Wang Xiuying could only take the unused official seal back with regret.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Although the official seal was not used, the cooperation with Shanghai TV has been preliminarily reached, and what remains is the specific promotion work.

So as soon as Wang Xiuying left, the resolute Yang Hongxia called everyone to a meeting: "Come on, come on, everyone in the screenwriting department, hurry up and refine the script."

The members of the editorial department wailed: "Boss Yang, didn't you just say that we would take turns to take annual leave?"

Why are you assigning us tasks right after you finished talking?

Do you want us to finish the work before the holiday?

Or will they work harder after the holiday? The editorial staff all covered their livers, as if they were afraid that if they didn't protect them, their livers would die.

Yang Hongxia then remembered that she had just announced that everyone would take turns to take annual leave!

But now that the work has been arranged, Yang Hongxia can't take it back: "Hey! Well, you should continue to take your turns to rest, but you can't just abandon your work, right? You can discuss the specific arrangements among yourselves, I only care about the results!"

Yes, I am so willful! Since I said I would give you a holiday, then I will give you a holiday! But you still have to finish the work that needs to be done! As for how to balance the relationship between holidays and overtime, that is not my concern! Anyway, I have a nickname "Yang Baopi" on the Internet. Yang Hongxia is not ashamed of it but proud of it. She has fully demonstrated the excellent capitalist spirit of leaders speaking and employees running around! (End of this chapter)
