After watching the first two episodes of "Lane People", Director Fan decided to schedule Tianjiao's new drama to be broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV in July.
As for who to call to finalize this matter, that goes without saying... Of course, it’s Wen Ying!
Wen Ying is a shareholder of Tianjiao and can make the final decision.
Wen Ying is younger than Yuan Fenghui and Mrs. Wang, so Director Fan does not feel that much psychological pressure when negotiating with Wen Ying.
Feeling that Manager Chen and Lao Wen were looking at her, Wen Ying covered the receiver of her cell phone and went back to her room.
"Are you sure you want to give July's prime time slot to Tianjiao?"
"You're being polite. I've always reserved July's prime time slot for Tianjiao! In fact, we've always had such a pleasant collaboration before. It's all because of those villains that we couldn't work together on 'Star River With You'."
Director Fan's voice was loud and enthusiastic in the receiver.
"Star River With You" is truly a classic idol drama in recent years. It was first aired in July last year, and now, almost a year later, it is still being rebroadcasted by local TV stations, and discussions on major online forums are still high.
This is a real hit drama.
Even if "Love Cruise" had not been suspended, it would not have been able to beat "Star River and You"!
Missing out on the first broadcast rights of "Star River and You" is a great regret in Director Fan's career. After watching "Lane People" tonight, Director Fan vowed not to let the regret happen a second time.
Wen Ying didn't expose Director Fan's thoughts. "Then let's sign the contract. Hunan Satellite TV still wants the exclusive broadcasting rights?"
"It must be exclusive broadcasting rights. We can refer to "The Princess's New Clothes" for the copyright period."
Director Fan, full of enthusiasm, was quite astute, making Wen Ying laugh. "The copyright period is based on 'The Princess's New Clothes,' so should the copyright fee also be based on 'The Princess's New Clothes'? As you said, our cooperation is so pleasant...why don't we skip these trial steps and get down to business? You know I'm about to take the college entrance exam and have a heavy academic workload, so I don't have much time to discuss the details of the cooperation with you."
Wen Ying lied with her eyes open. It was true that she had heavy academic workload, but she was not so busy that she didn't even have time to discuss cooperation. Before answering Director Fan's call, Wen Ying was still watching TV series!
The exclusive broadcasting rights of "The Princess' New Clothes" were originally sold to Hunan Satellite TV. The condition negotiated by Yuan Fenghui was "70 million in 7 years". After 7 years, Tianjiao can get back the copyright of "The Princess' New Clothes".
Tianjiao's new drama has few popular stars, and Tianjiao has never filmed a serious drama before. Director Fan's agreement to give the July schedule is already a huge concession, and it is impossible to pay another 70 million in copyright fees - not only Director Fan, but no TV station can give Tianjiao 70 million.
Wen Ying doesn't have to sell the new drama for 70 million, but the number of years for which the copyright is sold to Hunan Satellite TV can be negotiated.
Seeing Director Fan struggling, Wen Ying gently advised, "Why don't you wait a few more days until the ratings for the premiere of 'Longtang People' are out and Tianjiao finishes post-production on the series, then you can make a decision."
Director Fan felt uneasy when he heard Ying was so considerate.
"Xiao Wen, tell me secretly, is Director Yuan in contact with other TV stations?"
Wen Ying flatly denied: "That's impossible. How could you doubt Teacher Yuan's character?!"
Director Fan certainly believes in Yuan Fenghui's abilities.
Speaking of character... Director Fan sometimes doubts his own character, so how can he dare to trust others?
The more Wen Ying denied it, the more Director Fan began to overthink things. He immediately made a decision, "Oh, of course I believe Tianjiao. There's no need to wait for the ratings for the premiere of 'Lane Family'. That's too much trouble. Let's sign the contract now! Let's put it this way. Xiao Wen, you have a heavy academic schedule and don't have time to come to Hunan Province. I'll book a flight now and come to Chengdu to sign the contract with Tianjiao."
"The copyright period—"
Wen Ying dragged out her words, and Director Fan interrupted, "The copyright period is negotiable. I'll bring the contract over, and we can revise it as we go along."
Given the status of Hunan Satellite TV, it has always been the film and television companies that go to Hunan to discuss cooperation, and few senior executives of Hunan Satellite TV will take the initiative to find film and television companies.
The buyer is willing to accommodate the seller. In the supply and demand relationship, "demand" is greater than "supply", and the initiative falls into the hands of the seller.
Wen Ying stopped bullying Director Fan and smiled sweetly:
"Okay, thank you for your understanding. We will wait for you in Chengdu and look forward to your visit~"
Listen, how sweet this little mouth is.
Although he has a sweet mouth, his heart is not affected at all.
Director Fan came to his senses only after hanging up the phone and slapped himself twice.
Make you anxious!
Make you blind!
Makes you want to cheat on the little girl!
This is not a little girl at all, she is clearly a younger version of Yuan Fenghui.
Director Fan, with a swollen face, asked someone to book him a plane ticket: "From Hunan Province to Chengdu, the nearest flight. What, tomorrow morning at six o'clock? Okay, this one!"
Six o'clock is six o'clock.
Doesn’t it just mean getting up at three in the morning and leaving home at four to go to the airport to wait for the flight?
At worst, I won’t sleep tonight.
Director Fan swore that he would go to Tianjiao Building early tomorrow morning, sign the contract, and then go back to the hotel to catch up on some sleep.
…
After tricking Director Fan, Wen Ying felt particularly relaxed.
Director Fan is not honest. He actually wants to cheat the girl with a lucky mentality?
If we don’t teach Director Fan, what will happen if Director Fan becomes even more arrogant in the future?
Wen Ying hummed a song as she tipped off Yuan Fenghui, briefly mentioning Director Fan's arrival in Chengdu the following day. Yuan Fenghui understood, "Just focus on your classes tomorrow. I'll give Director Fan a good reception and try to get the contract signed tomorrow. It depends on your schedule tonight. If you're free, I'll have the driver pick you up after school, and we'll have dinner with Director Fan."
Wen Ying felt that she was cruel enough, but Yuan Fenghui was even more cruel.
Director Fan's arrangements were made clear before he even arrived in Chengdu. He was to discuss contracts during the day and accept business banquets at night. I hope Director Fan will be quick and decisive when discussing the contract tomorrow, as this will determine the quality of the evening's business banquet!
Wen Ying smiled and agreed: "Let's have a meal, I'm sure there's time."
Is this as simple as having a meal?
Director Fan is here to give money to Tianjiao!
If Zhang Guangzhen's play is sold, Tianjiao will make a lot of money again, and shareholders will receive substantial dividends at the end of the year, which will motivate Wen Ying to write the test paper.
Wen Ying called Yuan Fenghui for something else.
"Teacher Yuan, you've watched the first two episodes of 'Lane Family', right? What do you think of Jiaxin's filming?"
Yo yo yo.
Yuan Fenghui suppressed her laughter and said, "You saw it yourself, don't you have your own judgment?"
There is judgment.
Wen Ying suspected that she was still not professional enough.
After all, this is the first drama filmed by Xie Qian after taking over Jiaxin. It is very important for whether Jiaxin can be revived, and it is also important for Xie Qian's career layout.
Because she cares too much, Wen Ying can't help but worry about gains and losses.
To be honest, Wen Ying doesn’t care so much about other people’s opinions even when she is the screenwriter of the drama.
Wen Ying wanted very much to promote "Lane People" on her blog, but Xie Qian firmly disagreed.
