"Yeah! We're number one again, we're always number one!"
When Li Linghua and the other two walked out of the Yunhaitai office building, a golden rain was falling in the office of the Apple TV "Masked Singer" production team in Jiangrong, about a thousand kilometers southeast of them.
Last night's ratings are out, and "King of Masked Singer" is undoubtedly still ranked first. Yunhai TV's "Youth Training Camp" is actually not bad either, and the gap has narrowed a lot compared to last week.
However, this was also due to the popularity of the "beautiful director" yesterday. Even so, it failed to overtake. It is almost an impossible task for "Youth Training Camp" to catch up with "Masked Singer" in the next few episodes.
For the opposing team, taking first place is commonplace and there is nothing to get excited about.
Therefore, in order to give everyone a sense of freshness and ceremony, Zhang Zhiqin suggested simply holding a simple celebration ceremony.
Li Lin and Luo Hui thought this was a good idea, so they asked people to make preparations in advance.
This morning when it was announced that "King of Masked Singer" retained its top spot in ratings, everyone held a cannon, spun it around, and golden paper spewed out.
Suddenly, golden rain began to fall in the office.
Everyone found it interesting and fresh, and jumped happily in the golden rain.
"Hey, where's Director Fang?"
After jumping around for a while, everyone realized that Director Fang was not there.
"Director Fang went to Mr. Chen's office, oh no, Deputy Director Chen's office."
Li Lin said that she received a call from Fang Xiaole in the morning, asking her to focus on the work first while he went to talk to his leader about something.
"Are they going to give us bonuses again?"
Su Yu's eyes were shining.
"Does Brother Fang need to personally discuss bonus distribution? Brother Fang must be discussing something more important."
Zhang Zhiqin guessed.
…
Su Yu and Zhang Zhiqin guessed correctly. Apple TV was indeed going to give bonuses to the program team, and what Fang Xiaole was discussing with the leaders at the moment was indeed not such a trivial matter.
"Xiao Fang, you're making it very difficult for us."
At this time, in Chen Zhao's office, Program Director Li Wan and Deputy Director Li Xue Ke were both there.
Fang Xiaole had just finished speaking when the atmosphere in the office became a little awkward.
"Does this Mulin Entertainment Planning Company really only produce variety shows?"
Li Xue Ke asked.
"Yes, Mr. Li, I plan to turn this company into a base dedicated to producing variety shows."
Fang Xiaole answered.
He just told the three of them about his future plans related to Apple TV:
Under the Aiyao Jiangrong branch, a new company will be established, named "Mulin Entertainment Planning Co., Ltd.", which will specialize in the planning and production of variety shows.
In the future, Mulin Entertainment will deliver variety shows to all TV stations and online video platforms across the country.
However, when Chen Zhao and Li Xue Ke heard Fang Xiaole's plan, their expressions suddenly became a little strange.
Their first instinct was that there was a conflict of interest between Mulin Entertainment and Apple TV.
Apple TV is now the number one satellite TV station in China that focuses on variety entertainment, relying on a steady stream of excellent programs.
If the variety shows produced by Mulin Entertainment are better than those of Apple TV in the future, Apple TV will have to pay to buy them.
How do we negotiate the program copyright fees then?
The boss behind the scenes, Fang Xiaole, is also an employee of Apple TV!
This is bound to be a problem.
In addition, Fang Xiaole has already stated that Mulin Entertainment will export variety shows to TV stations across the country. Doesn’t that mean that Apple TV’s gold medal director is helping a competitor make a show?
This is unacceptable!
"Xiao Fang, you don't have to tell us."
Chen Zhao said a little depressed.
If Fang Xiaole fired the gun quietly without letting them know, everyone would be happy and could continue to bury their heads in the sand happily.
But this guy came and told him, so what should he do?
This is a dilemma!
Li Xue Ke also nodded dejectedly. He had the same idea as Chen Zhao. If they didn't know about this, then no matter what Fang Xiaole did, they would have fewer worries.
But once you know it, you will be in trouble on both sides.
"Xiao Fang, do you have anything else to say?"
Li Wan asked calmly.
"Sister Li still understands me."
Fang Xiaole picked up the cup on the coffee table, but saw that the water inside was almost empty.
Chen Zhao waved his hand irritably: "Go pour it yourself."
Fang Xiaole curled his lips. In the past, when he came to Chen Zhao's office, Chen Zhao would personally make tea for him. But now that he said he wanted to start his own business, he was only treated with boiled water.
He had no choice but to take the cup and add water. When he came back and sat down, he saw Chen Zhao and Li Xue Ke staring at him. He didn't dare to pretend anymore and said with a smile:
"In fact, I have already considered it. In order to avoid conflicts with the station, I will not interfere in any operations of Mulin Entertainment. At most, I will be a program planner and occasionally provide some program ideas. I will not participate in anything else.
My main focus will still be on the station, and that is just a side job for me.
It’s like a white-collar worker in a company taking off his suit after get off work, getting in his car and driving a ride-hailing service.”
Chen Zhao and Li Xueke's expressions relaxed slightly. Li Wan patted him lightly and said, "Stop joking. Speak properly."
Fang Xiaole knew that Sister Li was worried that his relationship with the station would become strained, so he smiled at her and continued:
"Three leaders, please allow me to report that there is a huge gap in the domestic variety show market. Even if there is no Mulin, there will be other companies specializing in variety shows in the future.
I am from Apple TV. If I start this as my sideline, then no matter what happens in the future, Mu Lin will lean towards Apple TV.
What's more, I will still work hard for our station as the variety show director. Mu Lin will set up his own program team and find some professional directors to do it. I will not interfere.
Even if Mu Lin sold their program to other stations, do the leaders think that the program produced by those people will be better than mine?"
Chen Zhao and Li Xueke looked at each other and pointed at Fang Xiaole at the same time:
"You're just fooling us, you little brat!"
Chen Zhao said to Li Wan in frustration, "This kid used to be quite honest. When did he become so cunning? Did you teach him to be so cunning?"
Li Wan smiled and shook his head.
However, although the two deputy directors looked very angry on the surface, the atmosphere had obviously eased a lot.
The fact that Fang Xiaole could tell them this matter honestly at least shows that he still has feelings for Apple TV and is unwilling to do things without telling the station.
Moreover, if Fang Xiaole keeps his promise and continues to stay in the station to host programs, the possibility of conflicts of interest between Apple TV and Mulin Entertainment in the future will be much lower.
Even if there are any problems, at least with Fang Xiaole, an Apple TV employee and Mu Lin's boss behind the scenes, there will basically be no conflicts of principle.
When the two of them thought about it this way, they felt much more comfortable.
but,
After all the calculations, why do I always feel that this brat is the one who gets the most benefit?
