I really don't want high ratings for my documentaries!

Chapter 410 The Bass in Distress!
"Louis, be careful with this bottle of red wine. This is Lafite. It costs 1 dollars a bottle. It's ordered by the distinguished guests of the presidential suite. If it breaks, you won't be able to afford it for a few months! "

The supervisor told the service staff who was taking the wine.

The blond young man who had just entered the hotel, when he heard the price, was so frightened that his hands clenched the wine bottle tightly.

I was afraid that due to my mistake, this bottle of wine that was more expensive than him would be knocked over.

The supervisor straightened his bow and smoothed his moustache.

With a white gloved hand, he knocked on the door.

After getting permission, I went in.

"Dear guests, the Lafite you ordered has arrived, and it has sobered up. Should we open it for you or pour it yourself?"

The supervisor looked at the two Asian boys sitting in front of him.

The slightly rubbish looking boy waved his hand directly.

"Just give it to us. By the way, I want another dozen of this kind of wine. One bottle is not enough."

"How much is a dozen?"

The supervisor froze for a moment.

The rubbish-looking boy smiled.

"10 bottles!"

"Okay, distinguished guest, please wait a moment!"

The supervisor was overjoyed, and walked down with the service staff respectfully.

Xu Wen looked at Xiang Wei with an explosive look on his face.

"You haven't answered me yet, why did you give me 30% of the shares? This is more than 1000 million dollars. Didn't you ask me to film "Walking with the Cardinals" and already paid me? "

"Do you really think Universal's $1 is for you? Stop kidding."

He waved to Xiang Wei and poured Xu Wen a glass of wine.

The matter of promising to produce a new program for Universal before.

Xu Wen was so busy that he forgot to mention the reward.

As a result, after the first episode was filmed, Universal Company charged Xu Wen's account 1 dollars.

It is almost 6 Chinese currency.

"One episode costs 1 dollars, and 10 episodes cost 10 dollars. Do you think our unscrupulous boss of Universal Company? This money is just a symbolic reward, and the real reward is here."

After Xiang Wei took a sip of red wine, he pointed to the contract in front of him.

"Yeah! This wine is really nice!"

"But it's a bit much! More than 1500 million dollars."

Rao Xu Wen is well-informed, and he has never seen a reward of [-] million at once.

The tens of millions of Xiangjiang before made him so happy that he couldn't find Bei.

And all of a sudden he became the most paid director so far.

Not to mention the current reward of [-] million.

Since ancient times, artists have always been paid much more than directors.

Xiang Wei shook his head.

"In addition to the remuneration given to you by our Universal Company, there is also the sincerity of our Universal Company. Since the bass incident, our company has also been chilled, and we must sign strict contracts for new recruits."

"But we also have great sincerity for a talent like you who rescued us in times of crisis. This contract is our sincerity. We hope to continue to cooperate with you."

Xu Wen smiled.

"Are you afraid that I will become the second bass?"

"You are much more valuable than Bass! Without Bass, we can still get Kadezhan. If you are gone, then we really have nothing."

Shaking his head to the front, he disagreed with Xu Wen's comparison of himself to a bass.

In fact, Xu Wen can also figure out Universal's plan.

Bind Xu Wen with Universal with shares.

In this way, the programs produced by Xu Wen make money, that is, the two families make money together.

If they lose money, the two will lose money together.

Making money for himself, maybe Xu Wen will be more concerned about it than before.

This is also the practice of many Internet companies, giving shares and equity to some top talents.

Short-term wages cannot retain people, and only a salary that the company can afford to pay can retain people.

"How about it, what other requirements do you have? If you don't have any requirements, sign the contract quickly. David sent me to supervise your signing."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Wen pushed the contract towards Qian Wei with a half-smile, picked up the red wine and began to drink.

When Qian Wei saw it, he became anxious.

"Hey, hey, what's the matter, just say what you want, why don't you sign it, it's 1 million!"

"I have not been dealing with you for a short time, but I know you as a person. For good things, you will definitely make a lot of preparations, making me feel that I am making a lot of money from this contract, so I am willing to pay the contract. Come out, and definitely not rushing over so early in the morning like today and impatiently asking me to sign a contract, I think you must have something to hide from me."

Xu Wen said unhurriedly.

Xiang Wei paused, and said in a sarcastic manner.

"What's the matter, I'm only eager for love!"

"Still pretend!"

Xu Wen became more and more sure of his guess.

Xiang Wei sighed, picked up the wine in front of him and drank it in one gulp.

"The company strictly forbids me to say these words, but you are too smart. I think it will be difficult for me to make a deal if I don't say it. You guessed it right. There is indeed something that we want you to sign so eagerly."

"I just know it."

Xu Wen chuckled.

Xiang Wei continued.

"From "Survival in the Wild" to "Walk with Kadezhan", our company has launched two hits in succession in the past few years, but apart from these two, the performance is general at other times."

"Those who are interested will inevitably come back to find the reason. Naturally, your name has entered the eyes of the entertainment industry in the United States. Knowing that there is a number one person like you, several companies have rumored that they will pay a high price to recruit you."

"Our company has just experienced the departure of Bass. How can we bear the loss of you leaving too, so we increased our bargaining chips and gave you 30% of the shares. At the beginning, we only planned to give 15% of the shares."

Talent is everywhere.

But top talent is still scarce.

Xu Wen's experience can be found online.

If there is one popular model is luck, two models are strength, and countless models are genuine top talents.

Xu Wen's resume can't be written on a single page in China, let alone now.

After all, Xu Wen had experienced too much when he wanted to poach people in Huaguo.

Hearing Xiang Wei's words at this moment, Xu Wen laughed.

He quickly picked up the pen on the side of the table and signed his name with a brush.

Take a step forward.

"You signed!"

"That's right, you are all so sincere, so naturally I have to be a little sincere."

Xu Wen handed the signed contract to Xiang Wei.

Xiang Wei held the contract, and David was happy in his heart.

Put it carefully in your purse.

"This matter is done, and my task is also completed, come and cheers!"

"cheers!"

Xu Wen also took advantage of the situation and raised his cup.

"Hey, you just said that someone wanted to poach me, and there are all those companies, do I know about it?"

"There are so many, there are Disney, Sony, Flying Net"

Xiang Wei began to recall.

Xu Wen smiled.

"Speaking of Feifei.com, what do you think the atmosphere of their company will be like now?"

"Hmph! I don't know, but it must not be very good. Although Bei Si's new program is not bad, it is still much inferior to that of the first season. His program has been copying your old routine. We Two seasons of Universal, plus one season of Flying Net, after three seasons, the audience will be tired of it."

Xiangwei has a lot of resentment towards Feiwang.

There are guns and sticks between the words.

"Although Nikaido has added some artists to follow the bass to challenge the heavy-tasting trip in this new season, I would say that the audience's aesthetics will be tired, and the ratings of the next few episodes will not last long."

Although Xiang Wei said a lot of unreliable things, but this time it really made his words come true.

The first episode of "Adventure with the Bass" got 4% of the ratings points.

But by the time of the second episode, it had slipped to 3.78%.

In the third episode, it dropped to 3.56%.

The overall trend has been going down.

In contrast, the ratings of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" were only 3% in the first episode.

In the second episode, it rose to 4.2%, and in the third episode, it came to 4.91%.

If the distance is broken by 5, it is also a thin line.

In addition, one is a paid TV station and the other is a free TV station, and the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger.

It's not really the bass's fault either.

The main reason is that I still haven't found my own position.

After three seasons of adventure, the audience's high point gradually increased.

After changing the company, the director became Nikaido.

Although Nikaido is a famous director, his fame has always been in the direction of documentaries.

And "Adventure with Bass" is a work between reality show and documentary.

It has both the documentary attributes of documentaries and a bit of entertainment attributes of programs.

He doesn't have such proficient switching skills between reality shows and documentaries like Xu Wen.

Of course, it will focus on the type of documentary.

As a result, the audience of this program is gradually decreasing.

And the problem that bass needs to face is obviously more than this.

When "Adventure with Bass" was halfway through the broadcast, a well-known whistleblower broke the news that most of Bass's "Adventure with Bass" was staged.

Previous shows may be the real deal.

But the new season of the program has a lot of ingredients that the program team bought ready-made from nearby supermarkets, including some overnight stays in the program for the effect of the program.

And the disgusting food eaten on the show is also fake made out of chocolate.

As soon as this revelation came out.

It quickly aroused huge controversy on the Internet.

Although Feiwang quickly refuted the rumors.

But this matter still caused a lot of discussion.

Netizens also expressed some doubts that had been hidden in their hearts for a long time.

"I've always been weird because I don't think a single person can really survive in the wild."

"It looks disgusting, but it turns out they are all deceiving people."

"Bai Si's colleagues said that Bei Si is just an ordinary elementary school teacher, how could he be so good at surviving in the wild."

"I liked him a lot in the first and second seasons, but now he's more and more a businessman."

"He who doesn't like cheating doesn't like it!"

It also caused controversy, and the effects produced in the two programs of "Walk with the Kadezhan Family" and "Adventure with Bass" are completely different.

In "Walking with the Kadezhan Family", the positive effect is produced, because what this program wants is public opinion and gossip, and then let the protagonist of the incident respond to this matter on the program to attract ratings.

But in "Adventure with Bass", what Bass showed to the audience was heavy taste and strong inner quality. Now that the public opinion came out, many people questioned the authenticity of the show.

Just like an idol building a collapsed house, even if some diehard fans will stay, they will still lose at least one-third of the audience.

Sure enough, in the next show.

The ratings of "Adventure with the Bass" have been declining.

From 3%, to 2.45%, to 2.11%.

Compared with the first episode, it is less than half.

Even two of the four TV stations broadcasting "Adventure with Bass" announced that they would not renew the content of the third season of "Adventure with Bass".

"I'm so pissed off! I'm so pissed off! It must be a conspiracy by Universal Corporation! It must be a conspiracy by Xu Wen!"

Bass was furious and dropped his wine glass again.

Become a desktop cleaner master.

It seems that whenever someone is angry, something is going to suffer.

"You can guess it's Xu Wen with your toes."

Nikaido sighed.

Miyamoto sat aside and shook his head.

"It's really weird. We poured dirty water on Xu Wen's new show, but it made the show more and more popular. But why did Xu Wen pour dirty water on us, but the effect was so different?"

"What to do now! What to do now!"

Bass sat down after venting.

Having just set foot in the entertainment circle, Bei Si can only give the right to speak to the two people in front of him.

Nikaido and Miyamoto looked at each other.

They saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Now say good things, send out press releases, and do public relations, no one will believe it.

If you continue to pour dirty water on it, you will add fuel to the fire.

No matter how you do it, it won't work.

He could only watch helplessly as things continued to deteriorate.

At this moment, even Miyamoto, who has always had many ideas, couldn't think of one for a while.

"Speak up! You are my director and producer! If my show is messed up, you won't be able to get it right!"

Bass became anxious and emphasized his tone.

At this moment, Miyamoto received a message on his mobile phone.

After seeing the message again, Miyamoto's expression changed.

"The company has given us an order. If our ratings can't rise to an average rating of over 3.5% before the end, then the show "Adventure with Bass" will be gone."

"Ah! The show is gone? That's not what the company said when I signed the contract with me."

Bass was shocked.

Miyamoto sighed.

"The company contract originally stipulated that if the ratings were not good, they would arrange you to be a guest star in other programs."

"What program?"

"Follow Jasmine to Move Bricks."

"Moving bricks?! I don't want to move bricks! I'm a big star, how can I move bricks!"

Bass refused without thinking.

At this time, Nikaido, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Actually, there is another way to save the show at present."

"any solution?"

"Please Xu Wen!"
