Chapter 443 Who is playing with the bastard (Earth)

Although calling Mango Terrace a 'bastard', Lu Linlang also knew that this matter should not be rushed.

Then I asked Mr. Ting first.

Because Ting Jun currently has the specific details of communication with Mango Channel, such as the preliminary list of players, he must first let Ting Jun pass it on to Feng Zikai or Truman for the purpose.

"Has Mango Terrace communicated with you?" Lu Linlang asked Mr. Ting.

"After the pre-selection list came out, we communicated." Ting Jun sighed and said, "We think the acting skills of the contestants in this episode are not good, but Mango TV insists that they have enough traffic. If there is no traffic, there will be no ratings. They think that the ratings Rates come first.”

"This group of things..." Lu Linlang cursed in a low voice. She realized that Mango TV was using Truman's reputation to make money in a disguised form. She could understand Mango TV's intentions. After all, the purpose of doing variety shows was to attract money, but she was fooled by it. There is no understanding, only anger.

"Those contestants are really not good enough." Ting Jun didn't follow the recording of the first episode, but just saw the pre-selection list and rough cuts of the show, so he came up with this idea. As for the director, there is no need to say what kind of thoughts he is thinking.

"Brother has already said that we will only help with one episode, and we won't record the next episode." Ting Jun added, "It's a question of who else to invite. Mr. Truman doesn't know any mainland directors."

"Mango TV has their resources, and I heard that they plan to invite Guo Xiaosi." Lu Linlang said, "In addition, there are reports that they are still in contact with Dapeng."

"I think Director Dapeng is quite capable, but if Director Guo Si comes... Oh my God!" Ting Jun exclaimed, remembering the ignorant years of her youth, when she actually liked "Little Times" , Proper black history.

"I have to talk to Mango TV again. I talked to Mango TV last time, but it didn't work. These people are obsessed with money..." Lu Linlang made up a certain idea, and her mind relaxed. She said to Ting Jun, "Domestic Compared with foreign countries, these TV stations and producers are more difficult to deal with, right?"

"It's a bit difficult." Ting Jun admitted that the contradictions in the foreign entertainment industry are all contradictions of uneven profit distribution, but in China, it is mixed with human feelings and sophistication. With Ting Jun's knowledge, it is difficult to judge what to do attitude is appropriate.

How to solve the messy scene of the variety show "Officially Started Shooting".

……

To show her sincerity, Lu Linlang flew from the capital to Xingcheng to contact the management of Mango Channel. She met Wang Jian, the program director and host of "Official Filming".

Although they have not cooperated with each other a few times, they are all people in the circle, and they do not see each other when they look down. The scene is full of joy. The program director and Wang Jian entertain Lu Linlang at the most distinctive "Changshazhi" in Star City.

The focus of the conversation between the two parties at the wine table was naturally the follow-up to the "Official Shooting" column.

Wang Jian also knew that Truman was not satisfied with the quality of the current artists in "Official Filming", which would directly affect the progress of the filming of "Heroes" in Truman's hands. Artists are replaced by powerful actors.

"... Then there is no traffic." Wang Jian said, "The first episode of "Official Filming" last season had the highest traffic, and then the ratings continued to decline. Everyone just wants to watch something new, and if you want ratings, you have to be a traffic niche."

"Ms. Wang, the ratings of the first season of "Official Filming" are ranked in the top 10 in your TV variety show, right?" Of course Lu Linlang would not be fooled, she said: "The current contestants of the second season The level of the contestants is still there, but according to the trend of the first episode, you have to keep too many traffic stars, and the powerful actors are squeezed to the point that there is no room for survival, this is not acceptable."

"Mr. Lin Lang, you've gone too far." The program director said with a smile, "In the contract we signed, Mango Channel has the right to recommend artists and control the program process. We really didn't do well enough to show that I'm sorry, I'll offer a glass of wine, and I'll continue to work hard, and we'll finish this article."

Lu Linlang looked at the glass of wine handed in front of her, and then at Wang Jian, one was pretending to be a bad face, the other was playing a bad face, right?

She knew that there must be a lot of benefits behind "Officially Shooting". It is rare that Mango TV has a variety show that artists are eager to participate in, especially Wang Jian. Why don't they try to grab the benefits?
But don't forget, where is the root of this show.

Then, Lu Linlang suddenly laughed. She put away her bag, stood up gracefully, and said, "Sorry, Xingyun has a concert that needs to be prepared. I'm catching a plane to Pengcheng, and the time is almost up."

"Mr. Linlang, you are not mean enough. Why did you leave without eating a few mouthfuls of food, and did not drink any wine? It is our fault for poor hospitality..." The program director stood up and tried to stop Lu Linlang, but failed , Seeing Lu Linlang's hastily leaving footsteps, he was a little worried.

"Brother Jian, will she...?"

"She didn't dare. The contract was very clear. Our advertising revenue was also distributed to them. Recording a season of the show earned more than him making a season of a TV series. What reason does he have to turn against us?"

The "she" mentioned by the program director is Lu Linlang, and the "he" mentioned by Wang Jian refers to Truman. According to the domestic environment, compared with an artist or a studio, it is true that the TV station has an advantage at all times. Don't look at Truman as an internationally renowned director now, but in this one-third of an acre of land in China, a dragon has to be coiled, and a tiger has to lie down.

……

Lu Linlang called Truman on the car to the airport:

"I'm sorry, Truman, I underestimated Mango TV's greed and bottom line. They didn't regard us as a partner, but only as a resource. I'm afraid "Official Filming" can't fulfill the role I promised you before. It can't help it." Cast really good actors."

"What did you say?" Truman asked back.

Lu Linlang thought that Truman was angry, so she wanted to explain why this happened, the dark side of human nature, the greed and arrogance of the TV station, the ecology of the domestic entertainment industry...

"What is "Official Shooting"?" Truman continued to ask.

Lu Linlang was at a loss for words for a while, then she heard Mr. Ting explaining, saying, "That's the variety show where you selected the actors for the last episode" and "You even went to play with flower guns."

"Oh..." Truman remembered, and he said relaxedly, "If it doesn't work, just withdraw it."

"But we have signed a contract with Mango TV. If we breach the contract, we need to pay compensation..." Lu Linlang said.

"Let them sue us." Truman said, "We have to pay what the court decides. Yu Shao has money."

Lu Linlang thought of Wang Jian's appearance at the wine table just now, and suddenly felt a sense of pleasure, because she knew that if the two broke up, the mango table would be more injured. If this is the case, who wants to continue playing with the bastard? She smiled and said, "OK!"

……

Therefore, only the next day, Truman Studio released a message: "Due to differences in program production concepts with Mango TV, the producer of "Officially Shooting", it is now announced that the cooperation between the two parties will be suspended. The second season of "Officially Shooting" The broadcast date of the second episode will be announced separately, thank you fans for your support of Truman."

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the entertainment industry.

In particular, the top executives of Mango TV came to the capital overnight to meet Lu Linlang and asked what went wrong. The two parties clearly cooperated very happily...
