Entertainment: Becoming a superstar from the yearning

When they came to the TV station, the guard of the TV station greeted Ye Chen very kindly.

"Hello, Brother Ye."

"Well, hello, hello, if you don't want to work here, you can go to my company!"

Ye Chen responded.

He is very familiar with the guard here, because he would come here to sit if he is free on weekdays.

"Okay, Brother Ye!"

The guard also opened his mouth to respond.

At this moment, Qiu Hongyi rushed over.

"Stinky boy, it's not over, is it? The diggers are all on the head of the guard?"

Qiu Hongyi came over and slapped Ye Chen on the head, and reprimanded him.

"Hey hey, I just said that casually."

Facing his future father-in-law, Ye Chen couldn't think of resistance at all.

He could only keep laughing and preaching.

"Come with me, let's meet the director together."

Qiu Hongyi glanced at Ye Chen, but didn't blame him too much.

Under Qiu Hongyi's leadership, Ye Chen came to the director's office.

"Director, I brought you the person. We can discuss the specific content of cooperation here."

Qiu Hongyi spoke.

"Sure enough, the waves behind the Yangtze River are pushing the waves ahead. The young people nowadays are getting more and more powerful."

The director looked at the young Ye Chen, who had achieved such achievements, and praised him.

"Director, you've been honored. I still have a lot to learn."

Ye Chen responded modestly.

"It is a good character for young people to be modest, but it is not a good phenomenon to be too modest. Okay, let's talk about the content of cooperation next!"

"I think you should have heard from Qiu Hongyi that we want to buy the first broadcast rights of the local station "In the Name of the People" in your hands."

"What price do you think is more reasonable?"

The headmaster asked.

When negotiating, you generally don’t take the initiative to ask how much you want to pay, but first ask the other party the price in mind, and then negotiate based on this price.

Because if the price you raise is too low, it will make the other party unhappy, and if you raise it too high, you will lose money, and the constant price in the middle is decided by two people. At this time, listen to the other party first. For the price in mind, it is a very good choice.

"Yesterday, I discussed the price with Deputy Director Qiu, and he offered a price of 300 million for a single episode."

Ye Chen answered, and sold out his father-in-law without hesitation.

Sure enough, after listening to Ye Chen's words, the director looked at Qiu Hongyi who was sitting next to him with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Qiu Hongyi was also very speechless. He didn't expect Ye Chen to sell himself directly. The price of 300 million yuan for a single episode he said was just a constant price in his mind, not the price in the director's mind.

In the current situation, would the director think that he asked Ye Chen to say the price of 300 million an episode?
If this is the case, then the misunderstanding is huge.

So he hastened to explain.

"On the stage, it's actually like this. The price of the first broadcast rights given by the barrage video website is 400 million yuan per episode. Considering the price given by them, I think 300 million yuan per episode is more reasonable!"

"300 million is indeed more reasonable!"

The head of the station responded, and it was impossible for him to dismantle the stage of deputy head Qiu here.

"Then what price do you think is more appropriate?"

The director looked at Ye Chen again and asked.

"I also think the price of 300 million yuan per episode is more appropriate."

Ye Chen thought for a while before answering.

After all, what is sold now is the premiere rights of the local TV station. Although this TV series has already been broadcast on the online video, it is very simple to receive a wave of traffic on the local TV station according to the current popularity. 300 million episodes The price is definitely not bad.

"Is the price of 300 million yuan for an episode a bit expensive, and this TV series has already been broadcast on the Internet once, and if we get it to be played on local stations, the traffic we can harvest will not be maximized, so the price is a bit high. "

The director said that the price of 300 million yuan per episode was very reasonable, which completely contradicted himself.

Sure enough, when it comes to paying for it, I will dislike the price for being too expensive, no matter what I do, it looks the same.

It's like buying clothes and haggling the price in half. The current director is negotiating the price with Ye Chen to see if the price of 300 million per episode can be cheaper.

After all, if you can save, you can save.

"Director, I think the price of 300 million yuan for an episode is already very cheap. According to the current popularity on the Internet, if I offer 400 million yuan for an episode, maybe some local stations will want to buy my TV series! "

Ye Chen spoke.

In fact, regardless of the price of 300 million or 400 million episodes, what they buy is not this TV series, but the traffic that this TV series can bring, and what they can earn from it is the sponsorship fees of advertisers. and some other advertiser-funded fees.

If this drama can bring enough traffic, let alone 400 million episodes, even if it is 500 million episodes, some local stations are willing to release it.

The director thought about it for a long time, and felt that what Ye Chen said was indeed reasonable. According to the current popularity of "In the Name of the People" on the Internet, maybe some local stations will really buy this TV series at a price of 400 million yuan per episode. Exclusive premiere rights.

So he didn't hesitate anymore, and directly finalized the price of 300 million yuan per episode to purchase the exclusive premiere rights.

After signing the contract with the director, Ye Chen happily shook hands with the director.

"Happy cooperation, Director."

Ye Chen spoke.

"Happy cooperation!"

The director also said with a smile, he knew that he actually made a profit from this deal. This TV series can not only attract traffic to the provincial TV station whose traffic has plummeted recently, but also earn a lot of advertising expenses.

"Now that the cooperation is over, I should go back to the company and continue working."

"Then I'll take my leave."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he was ready to leave.

"If there are any good projects next time, we can continue to cooperate."

When sending Ye Chen out of the office, the director preached to Ye Chen.

"Okay, no problem. If there are still good projects, I will give priority to cooperating with Lizhitai."

Ye Chen replied that it was nothing else, just because his future father-in-law also worked in this TV station.

Seeing the back of Ye Chen leaving, the director couldn't help sighing again.

"Sure enough, he is a very outstanding young man. It is a pity that our TV station missed such a talent."

At this moment, the director once again regretted the decision he had made before.

Now it is impossible for Ye Chen to return to work in the TV station, so in the future, he can only establish a good cooperative relationship, so the TV station is not at a loss.

……

After leaving the TV station, Ye Chen drove back to his company.

As soon as he came to the company and walked to his office, Zhang Guoqing knocked on the door and came in.

"Ye Chen, is the script you told me ready?"

Zhang Guoqing asked impatiently.

"Director Zhang, you are really impatient. I have already prepared the script. Are you satisfied after reading it?"

Ye Chen said and took out the script he had prepared.

He finished writing the entire script last night, and took the time to print it out this morning.

Zhang Guoqing took the script handed over by Ye Chen, and the first thing he saw was the name of the script printed on the cover.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", when Zhang Guoqing saw the name of this script, he had an intuition that this script must be very exciting.

After opening the script, Zhang Guoqing read it with relish.

And Ye Chen also began to prepare for his follow-up work. Now that the company has just started, he needs to decide the company's next course of action.

The current company lacks talents and artists, and if he wants to make the company bigger and stronger, then he needs to make his company good enough. A good enough company must have enough excellent works support.

Or there must be an artist who can be the head of the house.

But now Ye Chen's company has more or less a small reputation in the circle.

Because the recent popularity on the Internet is all about the TV series "In the Name of the People", and the director of this TV series is Ye Chen, and the company that produced this TV series is the company established by Ye Chen - Chuqiu Company, so When everyone sees this information, they will be very curious to search for this production company.

"This company seems to be founded by Ye Chen!"

Many netizens have seen that the owner of this company is Ye Chen, so they all made curious remarks.

"I'll go. Ye Chen is going to start a company now. What exactly does this guy want to do? Singing for a while, working for a TV station for a while, filming a TV series for a while, and now he has set up his own company. Can he focus on one thing and do it well?" ah?"

Some netizens also complained.

Ye Chen also has a huge fan base. When he sang, he had a lot of fans. After he disappeared, he went to work in a TV station, which caused his popularity to drop.

And now, with the popular broadcast in the name of the people, the popularity about Ye Chen has once again been stirred up on the Internet.

"Ye Chen, have you ever thought about making a comeback?"

After reading the script, Zhang Guoqing asked Ye Chen.

"Director Zhang, what does this mean?"

Ye Chen looked at Zhang Guoqing with some doubts, not understanding why he asked himself this way.

"Now that your company has just started, do you think that the company needs to have several representative works and an artist who can be the head of the company to take on the facade?"

Zhang Guoqing asked.

"Yeah, how did you know that?"

"Well, that's actually the original idea of ​​​​everyone who starts an entertainment company."

Zhang Guoqing replied.

"So the question you asked me just now was..."

Ye Chen still didn't understand why Zhang Guoqing asked himself like that just now.

"Look, now our company has a representative work, which is in the name of the people, and the leading artist is actually far away in the sky, and with your popularity on the Internet, as long as you come back, you will have How about a huge fan base, and you are the head artist of our company? Is that what I mean?"

After listening to Zhang Guoqing's words, Ye Chen fell into deep thought.

The truth is indeed this, if he comes back, he can indeed become the head artist of the company, but Ye Chen doesn't want to get involved in this circle anymore, or he doesn't want to get involved personally, he just wants to be a behind-the-scenes manipulator.

"I'd better train another one!"

After thinking for a long time, Ye Chen replied.

Zhang Guoqing looked at Ye Chen, and left the office with only one sentence.

"It is actually very difficult to cultivate a popular artist. If you are not cultivating a traffic star, but want to cultivate a very powerful artist, it will be even more difficult. In addition, I took this script away .”

After leaving such a sentence, Zhang Guoqing left Ye Chen's office. Now he needs to prepare for the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The crew can still use the company's crew, but the actors need to be recruited.

"Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell..."

Ye Chen was thinking about something when his cell phone rang.

I saw Ye Yuchen's name written on the caller ID.

"What is this little girl doing calling me?"

Ye Chen answered the phone with some doubts in his heart.

"Hello? Why did you call me suddenly? What's the matter?"

Ye Chen asked.

"Brother, in the name of the people, which was recently broadcast on the Internet, was it really filmed by you as the chief director?"

Ye Yuchen asked on the other end of the phone, his tone full of disbelief in Ye Chen's tone.

"Judging from your tone, do you believe that your brother can shoot such a TV series?"

"Believe it, believe it, how can I not believe my brother?"

Hearing his brother's voice asking back, Ye Yuchen spoke hastily.

"Tell me, what's the matter, if there is nothing, you won't call me."

"Brother, is this the image of me in your heart? Wouldn't I not call you if there is nothing to do? Can't I care about your recent living conditions?"

Ye Yuchen asked repeatedly, as if her brother had doubts about her, which made her very upset.

"Don't worry, your brother and I have a very good life recently. If there is nothing wrong, I will hang up. Goodbye."

Ye Chen was about to hang up the phone after speaking, when Ye Yuchen on the other end of the phone panicked and shouted hastily.

"Hey, wait a minute, brother, I have something to tell you."

"Let me just tell you, you little girl will never call me if you have nothing to do. Tell me, what's the matter? Is there no money to spend or what?"

Ye Chen asked, his tone full of concern.

"It's actually like this. Recently, I had an assignment that asked me to shoot a short video, but I didn't know what to shoot after much deliberation. Then I saw the people's nominal chief director who has been very popular on the Internet recently, and it turned out to be my brother. You, so I turn to you for help!"

Ye Yuchen spoke.

"Sure enough, you will call me if you need my help with something!"

Ye Chen spoke sadly to Ye Yuchen on the other end of the phone.
