My documentary really doesn't want high ratings

Page 562

As soon as it was lit, a thick smoke ring spit out from the mouth.

"Things have to start..."

"Hi sir, no smoking here."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the waitress.

Zhou Huan stubbed out the cigarette in embarrassment.

Some complained that the atmosphere they had just established was destroyed by the young lady.

After putting out the cigarette, Zhou Huan continued.

"At that time you were filming a new documentary, and I received a call from someone from the central station. He is a director of the central station and is the default candidate for the next deputy director."

"He called me and expressed his interest in you. In fact, since your work "A Bite of China", the people above have noticed you, but you don't know it."

"The call from the central station is very simple. I just want to transfer you to the central station, but I... don't want you to transfer there."

Chapter 351 : Director's intention!

Inside the cafe.

Two figures, one old and one young, sat facing each other.

What the old man said at this moment solved a mystery for Xu Wen.

"I don't want you to transfer over."

After saying a few words, Xu Wen already understood a lot.

Any leader who sees a subordinate who can work hopes to stay by his side for a long time.

The words "loving talents" are not for nothing.

"At that time, the other party was the director of the central station. Although the position was lower than mine, the unit level of the central station was higher than that of satellite TV, so I was not too high to tear myself apart with him."

"If you continue to leave the people from the TV station to you, then he will definitely have opinions. In order to make it clear that you have nothing to do with our Jiangsu-Zhejiang TV station at that time, I can only call back the employees who belong to the TV station."

"But I never imagined that these employees have only followed you for a short period of time, but they have reached the point where they can stop working in order to follow you."

Recalling this, Zhou Huan not only smiled wryly.

According to his estimation, he should finish the filming of this documentary first.

At that time, it will be enough to call Xu Wen back. Anyway, Xu Wen's establishment is still in the station.

But this big guy forgot to count the word "humanity" after all the calculations.

Even people who are usually ignored are still "people".

Human beings have ever-changing ideas.

Have your own dreams and aspirations.

Not animals that rely on instinct to survive.

So people are people!

"I didn't expect that they would be willing to follow me. Because of this, I can't keep my clothes in a dignified manner."

Xu Wen took a deep breath.

Zhou Huan nodded.

"I know this. They treat you with heart, and you have to treat them with heart. Well, these are the antecedents, and the current situation of the TV station is also the consequence."

"But I didn't come to you today to explain. I wanted to ask if you would like to go back to the TV station?"

Xu Wen froze for a moment, then blurted out.

"go back?"

Xu Wen never expected that Zhou Huan came to him to tell him to go back.

Facing Xu Wen's shock, Zhou Huan nodded.

"Yes, there has been too much turmoil in the station recently, and there is a need for someone who can turn the tide. I also know that your current job is many times better than that on TV."

"No matter in terms of salary or position, you are far from being your own boss. I really don't ask you to agree to what I said, not to mention human relations. It is related to your own work. No one will do it here. The top is sloppy."

Then you know and invited me back.

Xu Wen slandered in his heart.

"Director, you know this is the case, so why did you invite me back?"

"I am not inviting you to join Jiangsu-Zhejiang Satellite TV, but to go back to work. There is an essential difference in this."

Zhou Huan chuckled.

He said something that Xu Wen didn't expect.

Xu Wen was stunned for a moment but did not respond.

"Not inviting me to join the job? But inviting me to go back to work? What's the difference...?"

Zhou Huan explained slowly.

"I watched "National Treasure" directed by you. As your first non-documentary program, you did it very successfully. You also know the situation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV. Among the programs produced by yourself, only one program has reached the top ratings. five."

"It's really embarrassing to be a satellite TV, and the reason why I let you go back is not to let you go back to make documentaries, but to ask you to help Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV produce a program, just like CCTV's "National Treasure"."

Xu Wen frowned slightly.

He didn't speak for a while.

Zhou Huan seemed to have known that Xu Wen would show such an expression, and smiled slightly.

"Do you have a lot of questions?"

Xu Wen nodded.

Zhou Huan folded his hands in front of his chin.

"Go ahead."

Seeing that Zhou Huan asked Xu Wen to speak up, Xu Wen didn't hide it anymore.

"Director, I don't understand the meaning of inviting me back. Even if I make a good show, what then? Can it help Jiangsu and Zhejiang change the status quo? Obviously it can't. What's the point?"

"Is it to impress the new deputy director? Or to look back? I think the current Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations cannot be changed by one program at all, but need someone who can be replaced."

Xu Wen said everything he wanted to say in one breath.

Anyway, I am no longer an employee of Jiangsu-Zhejiang TV Station, and it is rare to have such a time to speak freely.

Don't talk about it at this time, save it for the Chinese New Year?

Facing Xu Wen's doubts, Zhou Huan smiled.

"That's right, I agree with you very much. What Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV needs now is not one program, but a person who can produce multiple programs, but as long as you help me produce one program, then I have this people."

Ok? !

Xu Wen's eyes widened, and he pointed at himself.

"Director, the person you are talking about is not me, is it?"

"Pfft, you think of yourself too lowly. If you really stay in the TV station, our TV station may not be able to pay you, but I still don't mind if you come."

Zhou Huan smiled.

Now Xu Wen was even more curious.

"Director, if it's not me, who else is it?"

"You don't have to worry about it for now, you help me make the show, and I will tell you when the time comes, how about it, will you do me this favor?"

Zhou Huan looked at Xu Wen.

Xu Wen took a deep breath.

"Director, I know I'm very utilitarian now, but I'm half a businessman after all. Can I ask first, what benefits do I have?"

"There are two advantages. First, from now on, the copyrights of all the documentaries you filmed on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV will truly belong to you. Our Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV will compete for your works just like other TV stations based on price."

Zhou Huan stated a condition that Xu Wen could not solve.

Because of the conditions of the previous copyright contract with Zhou Huan, including the four documentaries "A String of Life", "Guarding the Liberation West", "Aerial Photography of Huaguo" and "A Bite of Huaguo".

For the follow-up works, the broadcast platform of the TV station can only be Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations.

Moreover, the fee given by Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV is not more than one-fifth of that given by Penguin Film and Television.

So now "A String of Life 2" and "Aerial Photography Huaguo 2" don't make money on TV stations, and they all rely on buying copyrights on online broadcast platforms to make money.

But in fact, when the filming of these two works was finished, many TV stations came to inquire about the purchase.

On online platforms, one copyright fee can buy tens of millions. Although it may not be so much on TV stations, it can be quite a lot.

At least in the future, Xu Wen no longer has to rely on online platforms to make money.

Thinking of this, Xu Wen was very moved.

He can't wait to squeeze the wallets of several other TV stations.

But this premise is to help Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations produce a program.

And Xu Wen can be sure that this request is definitely not that simple.

"Director, can you tell me the variety show you want first?"

Xu Wen definitely looked at the specific situation first.

Zhou Huan smiled.

"First of all, the ratings must be good. In the whole country, it is not the top five, but at least the top ten. Naturally, it must be the first in the TV station, and I am talking about the weekly ratings. Second, our budget is not much. One season The total budget will be several million, just these two requirements."

Xu Wen was a little speechless, and subconsciously wanted to rush out the door.

What kind of request is this?

It is simply difficult.

It also needs high ratings and does not have a high budget.

It's gone if you invite a few big-name stars for a few million, let alone make a show.

This is simply a fantasy.

"How about it? It's hard to ask, do you want to challenge it?"

Zhou Huan looked at Xu Wen.

There was a smile in his eyes, as if he was not afraid that Xu Wen would refuse.

Xu Wen took a deep breath.

"You wait for me to go back and think about it."

"Yes, no problem, but I have to reply within 3 days at most, otherwise I will retire if I wait any longer."
