While Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui were blocking Yu Tianlin, Xie Qian and Peng Guoqing had just arrived in the Magic City.
This is the second time Xie Qian and Peng Guoqing have come to Shanghai in recent times.
The last time Xie Qian came to Shanghai, he brought Peng Guoqing to meet the producer of Oriental TV. The producer didn't take the two half-grown kids seriously at all. Xie Qian also asked Gong Sheng to deliberately conceal his and Peng Guoqing's identities. Producer Xu only thought that the two were young people who followed Gong Sheng to socialize and see the world.
Peng Guoqing found it very fresh, and Xie Qian was really absorbing knowledge about the emerging industry like a sponge.
The film and television industry and the logistics industry are very different.
The logistics industry relies on hardware, and the film and television industry relies on software. The former outputs "services" and the latter produces "content", so Yuan Fenghui attaches so much importance to Wen Ying. A good screenwriter can support a film and television company by himself - TV series, movies, variety shows, and even news programs are all content is king!
It was his second time in Shanghai. Peng Guoqing was eagerly waiting as soon as the plane landed.
Unfortunately, Xie Tang did not come to pick him up this time. When he got out of the airport, he only saw Gong Sheng's old-fashioned face, and Peng Guoqing was immediately disappointed.
Gong Sheng had no idea of the young shareholder Xiao Peng's thoughts, and all his attention was focused on the business:
"Boss, while you were back in Chengdu, I talked to Producer Xu a few more times. He's genuinely interested in the scripts in Jiaxin's library, but he also suggested that any collaboration between the two sides should be led by Oriental TV. Oriental TV has its own team of screenwriters. Look at this—"
Gong Sheng hasn't done much business since taking over Charles Schwab, and he has already put a lot of energy into integrating the entire company. Now he is eager to show some results, so he hopes to promote cooperation with Oriental TV.
Xie Qian frowned. "I was there when you discussed this with Producer Xu, so I don't need you to repeat it. Have you ever thought about what position Jia Xin would be in if he really did what Producer Xu said?"
Cooperate with Oriental TV and let Oriental TV take the lead.
How the series is filmed and how the script is revised are decided by the other party!
The benefits of doing this are obvious. The two parties have an agreement in advance. Charles Schwab is not afraid that the series will not sell well and may not make a lot of money, but there will be no problem in recovering the funds.
Charles Schwab’s risk is greatly reduced!
Gong Sheng really made a lot of efforts to get on this path, which was recognized by Xie Qian.
But it is safe. The Carlson Bank taken over by Xie Qian is no different from the Carlson Bank before under Xie Jinghu. Both are lukewarm and cannot generate much profit.
What does Xie Qian do with a film and television company like this?
Xie Qian was impressed by Jiaxin's background and wanted to turn this slow ship around and make it sail at high speed again.
Seeing Peng Guoqing's neck still spinning around like it was on a spring, Xie Qian glanced at him with a rather murderous glare. Peng Guoqing immediately behaved like a primary school student before his teacher, and even managed to come up with a question to prove that he was really listening:
"Xie Qian, isn't it good to make money?"
Peng Guoqing felt that Gong Sheng was right.
If Peng Guoqing's company had a manager like Gong Sheng, Mr. Peng would definitely offer a high salary to keep him, so that the boss would have less worries!
Peng Guoqing's timely assistance of 5 million yuan made Xie Qian quite patient with this poor student, and he even took the opportunity to point out Gong Sheng:
"Making money is good, of course, but having lost its dominant position, Charles Schwab can only earn what slips through the cracks in others' hands. What is Charles Schwab? Is it just a 'OEM' for Oriental TV?"
Xie Qian’s words made Gong Sheng think deeply.
Mr. Xie is obviously not short of money. He has a large piece of land to be demolished!
Mr. Xie, who is not short of money, took over the film and television company, of course not with the intention of becoming a "OEM factory" for a certain TV station.
Once a TV station decides what dramas a film and television company will shoot and how to shoot them, the film and television company becomes an appendage of the TV station. The longer this time goes, the more independent innovation it loses, and it will be impossible for the company to stop cooperating with the TV station in the future.
In contrast, Tianjiao set out to build its own team and train its own artists from the very beginning, recruited Zhang Guangzhen, won over Wen Ying, and sponsored a national essay competition to enrich the drama material library. These are the confidence of Tianjiao, allowing Tianjiao to be free from the constraints of the TV station.
Can’t reach an agreement with Hunan Satellite TV?
Then change to another satellite TV channel.
If you have a good drama, you don’t have to worry about not having buyers!
"So, boss, you mean we should go it alone?"
Xie Qian shook his head. "What I mean is that we can cooperate. We're not willing to accept the copyright fee they've proposed, which is a concession, but the cooperation must be led by Jiaxin itself. Let's first let Producer Xu tell us what kind of dramas Oriental TV needs. We'll find comparable works from Jiaxin's script library. He can offer suggestions, and we'll make modifications as appropriate. We'll finally finalize a script that we both agree on before we start filming. We don't want Oriental TV to interfere with the filming crew and actors. We should try to use our own people first. If Jiaxin doesn't start new projects, our own talent will run out."
Film and television companies will have a basic team, as well as directors and actors with whom they frequently collaborate.
The company often produces high-quality works. When a new project is launched, as long as it spreads the word, top talents in the industry will flock to it.
The company hasn't produced high-quality works for a long time, and new projects can only attract small fish and shrimps that are not very good!
Gong Sheng murmured, "Then we still have to support our own screenwriters. Several screenwriters in the company are used to slacking off. The plots in their scripts are so outdated that even an outsider like me can't stand reading them."
"First, find someone outside to help."
Xie Qian thought about it and recommended Zhang Guangzhen to Gong Sheng.
Zhang Guangzhen's personality is too soft, but he has good professional qualities. He is not a money-oriented person and he cherishes his work.
In the past, Wen Ying revised Zhang Guangzhen's script, and because the changes were for the better, Zhang Guangzhen accepted it silently.
