China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 170 168. Cooperation between the two parties requires sincerity
After dinner, Cao Yu and Zhang Yimou formally signed the filming contract of "Assembly Number", planning to build a crew after the Chinese New Year and start filming in April.

"Director Zhang, who do you think is suitable for the role of the leading actor Gu Zidi?"

While drinking tea, the two chatted about casting the film.

Zhang Yimou thought for a while and said, "Although the character of Gu Zidi is straight-forward, he is calm in situations and has a stubborn feeling. I think Jiang Wen is very suitable. What do you think?"

"Appropriate, so appropriate!"

Cao Yu was overjoyed. With a word from Zhang Yimou, he solved the problem he had been thinking about for several days.

As expected of the fifth generation master.

After thinking about it, I have too few network resources mainly in the circle.

Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou have cooperated not once, and being able to invite Jiang Wen also counts as an extra network for him.

"Maybe it's not in a hurry, let the bullets fly for a while."

After confirming the male number one, the rest of the roles will be easy to handle.

Zhang Yimou had a strange expression on his face, and said, "Xiao Cao, "Riding a Thousand Miles Alone" is scheduled to be released in December, at this point in time, let's make more publicity, even though he and I fell out, I don't want him to lose money on this film. "

"Director Zhang, no problem."

Hearing this, Cao Yu suddenly felt that Zhang Yimou was quite affectionate, looked at him with some admiration, and nodded.

After seeing off Zhang Yimou, Cao Yu returned to the company without taking a nap in the morning, and had to meet with Tomato TV in the afternoon.

At 02:30, a group of three people from Modu Wenguang News Media Group came to Feiyu Entertainment as scheduled.

Among the three, the highest position is a group vice president surnamed Yuan, there is also a director who is mainly in charge of variety shows, and the last one is a secretary.

Although Feiyu Company is not big, the three of them dare not take it lightly. This company has single-handedly created hit shows like "The Voice", and it is also a well-known presence in the variety show circle.

In the reception room, several people Cao Yu introduced each other and exchanged some pleasantries. Vice President Yuan went straight to the point: "Cao President, your cooperation with Lizhi TV this year has created a frenzy in ratings. I don't know what's good about your side recently. Variety show planning, I wonder if we can cooperate?"

"Actually, our company was forced to do variety shows."

Cao Yu didn't directly come up with his own idea, but said: "Last year's Super Girl show, our company's artists were treated unfairly, so I came up with the program "The Voice" and wanted to compete with Mango Stage."

Several people immediately understood the meaning of Cao Yu's words. This was to let themselves also express that they would target Mango TV. The interests of both parties were consistent.

Feeling happy, this Vice President Yuan immediately confessed: "It turns out that there is such a story about this incident. President Cao is indeed a man of temperament. Mango TV has always regarded itself as the number one local TV station in China, and there are indeed some stores that bully customers. If we cooperate, we will be fair and just.”

Nowadays, variety shows are weak in various local stations, but the profits in this area are huge, and everyone wants to make a fortune from variety shows.

Unfortunately, it is not an easy task to create a good idea.

Cao Yu echoed without any trace: "I believe, in fact, we have also cooperated before. The "Sword" co-produced by our company and Tang Ren was broadcast on your station."

Hearing this, the few people on Tomato Channel were a little embarrassed. At first they rejected Immortal Sword, but later the film got a good rating, so they agreed to broadcast it.

"Hehe, what Mr. Cao said is true."

After a few apologetic laughs, Vice President Yuan said, "We have always attached great importance to Feiyu's works, and we want to maintain a good cooperative relationship with President Cao."

"That's what I hope too."

Cao Yu nodded in satisfaction, and asked, "Which variety show is Mr. Yuan more interested in?"

Tomato Station is also among the top three in the region, and with the addition of Lychee Station, it is certainly not a problem to encircle and suppress Mango Station.

Finally getting to the point, Vice President Yuan hurriedly said: "Super Girl became popular in 04, and this year, President Cao's good voice sparked a wave of drafts. I think, of course, the variety shows in the draft category are the best."

Cao Yu said with a smile: "Although talent shows have been very popular in the past two years, the audience will always feel aesthetic fatigue after watching too much. Didn't your Tomato TV show "My Style My Show" last year?"

"Aren't you just adding salt to our scars?"

Vice President Yuan immediately put on a mask of pain, muttered something secretly in his heart, and could only keep an embarrassed smile on his face and said: "This show has been held for two sessions, but no matter whether it is influence or ratings, none of the episodes exceeded 2% Yes, our President Li decided to cooperate with President Cao."

"President Yuan misunderstood. I don't mean anything else. What I mean is that variety shows don't necessarily have to be drafted."

"No draft? Mr. Cao, can you explain in detail?"

Vice President Yuan immediately pricked up his ears.

"We can have a celebrity reality show"

Cao Yu briefly talked about the setting and rules of the show Brother Run.

"Let the stars experience traditional culture, pastoral life, farming skills, and sports competitions. This is Mr. Cao's idea? Can variety shows play like this?"

After listening to it, several people from Tomato TV had amazement written on their faces, and at the same time, they were curious. Does Mr. Cao think about this every day?
Nortel's screenwriting department is really a top student. Not only can he write scripts, but he can also write variety shows, awesome!

"How about it?"

Seeing the expressions of several people, Cao Yu felt refreshed and asked with a smile.

"Mr. Cao, this variety show must be given to us!"

Vice President Yuan couldn't wait. If it wasn't for his limited status, he would have grabbed Cao Yu's hand and signed the contract right away.

As long as this variety show is done, it will be a great achievement after returning home.

"Look at the contract first."

Cao Yu didn't agree right away, and asked the secretary to bring a contract.

Vice President Yuan scanned the contract carefully and found that most of the clauses were fine, except that the ownership of the program video belonged to Feiyu Entertainment, and the copyright and income from broadcasting on the video website belonged to Feiyu
"Mr. Cao, this seems to be the case."

Vice President Yuan frowned a little. It's no problem to share the income from the broadcast on the TV station with Feiyu Entertainment, but the income from the online broadcast belongs to you only?
Cao Yu laughed and said, "Mr. Yuan, it's hard to calculate the income from the main online broadcast, and according to the contract, the copyright of this program originally belongs to our company."

This point was also added to the contract by Cao Yuxin. "Run, Brother" will definitely become a hit. He is afraid that unnecessary disputes will arise in the future.

"CEO Cao."

"Ok?"

"Do you want to discuss the terms of your contract again? I can't explain this when I go back."

Vice President Yuan was a little entangled in his heart. He could accept a higher percentage, but the online broadcasting business also brought a lot of money, so he didn't want to give up.

"What does Mr. Yuan have in mind?"

"I think we don't have to take the income from online broadcasting, but after all, we completed the whole program together, and the copyright belongs to you, but logically, we should also pay us a buyout fee."

Vice President Yuan felt that his request was reasonable and there was nothing excessive about it.

"I can understand Mr. Yuan's thinking."

Cao Yu nodded seriously, then took another sip of tea, then smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan, can you return the contract to me?"

"Ok?"

Vice President Yuan is a little strange, is this about cooperation?
Sure enough, Cao Yu said, "Mr. Yuan, I'm really sorry. Since we have differences, we should cooperate on TV dramas in the future. It just so happens that Mr. Cai from Tang Dynasty will come to talk about a new drama tomorrow. If you are interested, you can pre-order the rights to broadcast it in advance. "

Cao Yu stood up and stretched out his hand as he spoke, with a bright smile on his face, but he obviously refused to cooperate.

"Mr. Cao? This is you?"

"Vice President Yuan, I don't dare to be the 'you', just call me Xiao Cao. I have something else to do. I will arrange for someone to take a few of you to the hotel later."

Such a good variety show, you don't want it, there are plenty of people who want it.

"What does it mean?"

The three members of Tomato Station were stupefied by Cao Yu. It was obvious that they wanted to drive people away. Couldn't they discuss it?

Even Xiao Wu, the secretary next to Cao Yu, felt that his boss was so awesome that he dared to refuse him so directly?
However, the boss looks very handsome.

The director in charge of the variety show who came with Vice President Yuan saw that things were going badly, and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao, we have something to discuss."

"Vice President Yuan, Director Chen, I am very grateful that you can come to our company, but this contract is our bottom line, and you all know that I haven't slept well for several months just because of this idea."

Cao Yu half-spoken, quickly pretended to be a slip of the tongue, and showed an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, these words shouldn't have been said, I just think that the cooperation between the two parties must be sincere, this variety show, you don't do it, I think Huaxia has a lot of TV stations I am willing to do it, Zhejiang Province and Taiwan contacted us a few days ago, but we haven’t had time to talk about it yet.”

"Zhejiang Taiwan"

Vice President Yuan's heart suddenly rose.
