Great Artist

Today's meeting is a meeting between Evan Bell, Fremantle Media and Fox Television.

The sudden appearance of the representatives of the three major commercial TV stations is definitely an uninvited guest. From the look on Ken Burns's face, he also had a bad premonition. Deborah-Johnson, on the other hand, looked at ease, as if she had foreseen this situation.

It was just a moment of confrontation, and Evan-Bell's mind was full of thoughts.

Analyzing the current situation, it is not difficult to understand the situation. The co-creator of "Pop Idol" is Evan Bell and Fremantle Media. But Evan Bell not only has the right to speak on copyright, but also has a patent registered in the United States, so when the draft is popularized in other countries, it will inevitably involve the redistribution of interests.

The disadvantaged Fremantle Media naturally hopes to maximize its own interests, so it is not difficult to understand that representatives of the three major commercial TV stations will appear at the meeting today.

According to Evan Bell's guess, Deborah Johnson should have informed them, hoping to stir up the bidding and muddy the situation, so that the Fremantle media can take advantage of it.

However, the appearance of representatives of the three major commercial TV stations is not a big problem. Even if they appear, Evan and Bell will negotiate with everyone. Anyway, his interests will not suffer too much loss, but Fox TV is bleeding. That's it.

Delegates gathered here, Sam Reid from CBS, Lisa Canning from ABC, NBC

Representative Mark Bonet, and the first Fox Broadcasting Company (XPS) representative Ken Burns, including Nigel Leggs, who appeared with Deborah Johnson, actually knew each other. .

After everyone greeted Evan Bell and Teddy Bell, they all greeted each other politely, as if the presence of the representatives of the three major commercial TV stations was a matter of course, and no one mentioned it: this should have been Fox TV and Eleven. Solo meeting in the studio.

While everyone was chatting, Evan Bell looked at Deborah Johnson with a normal look. "Ms. Johnson, Mr. Legus should be one of the executive producers of the show." "Pop Idol"'s chief producer is Evan Bell, and Fremantle Media, which is in charge of the programming, naturally has an executive producer, and Nigel-Leggs is one of the executive producers.

Evan Bell will know Nigel-Leggers, not because of "pop idol" but later he became the dance talent show "Dancing Forest (E

One of the show's producers and one of the judges, who has appeared many times on the TV screen, as is Siméng Cowell, who is known for his venomous comments. Beyond that, Evan Bell doesn't know much about the producer.

Deborah-Johnson looked at Evan-Bell with a natural look on her face, and she couldn't help but look at Evan-Bell again, "Yes. If nothing else, Nigel will become the executive of the idol draft here in the United States. Producer." Speaking of which, Deborah Johnson gave a polite smile, "Since it's being organized in the United States now, you, the chief producer, can't continue to let it go."

The United States, different from the United Kingdom, has more development prospects than the United Kingdom in terms of market size and maturity of the entertainment industry. The prospect of the draft on this soil in the United States is also more optimistic. Therefore, not only Evan Bell, but also Fremantle Media itself attaches great importance to the US market.

"When it comes to execution, I'm just a layman, and there's really not much help I can provide." Evan-Bell also smiled politely. He couldn't practice such a professional smile, and he felt that his face was a little stiff. "After all, if I'm good at execution, Eleven Studio will also take the production in its hands and be responsible for the production itself." If Evan-Bell is really willing, he can completely hold the copyright in his hands. , and then outsource a production team, so that all the revenue is exclusively owned by Eleven Studio, and you only need to pay the production team to create a god.

Then, Fremantle Media is not necessary.

Although it was a joke, Evan Bell's words made Deborah Johnson glance at Nigel-Leggs subconsciously. They know that not only was Evan-Bell seeing through the act of notifying the other three commercial TV stations without Evan-Bell's consent this time, but he also appropriately expressed his anger.

The point is not how the participation of the three commercial TV stations will affect the outcome of the negotiation, but the fact that Fremantle Media has bypassed Evan Bell and arranged this unexpected meeting by itself. This is a matter of integrity and a matter of initiative.

Indeed, if Evan Bell, who has the initiative, really wants to break up with Fremantle Media, after leaving the UK, all the initiative will be in the hands of Evan Bell, Fremantle Media There really isn't any advantage to speak of. The only thing Fremantle Media can do is to completely mess things up, drag it on for a year or a half, and lose everyone's interests. But in the end, it was Fremantle Media that lost.

Nigel-Leggers, even if he didn't catch Deborah-Johnson's gaze, immediately said "Bell, I think Eleven Studios and Fremantle Media's collaboration in "Pop Idol, Season 1" It has been a pleasure to continue to have a harmonious working environment. It is definitely good news for Xianxiu. "Deborah-Johnson is a media executive, and her major is not in programming after all, so it is more effective for Nigel-Leggs to be a professional.

Nigel made the point immediately after Leggs: Fremantle Media now has experience producing talent shows. Experience is very important for the promotion of talent shows. The Fremantle Media, which has summed up the experience of the first season, will definitely be able to create a new level in the second season, and the thorough research on the market has also given them a head start in the development of the US market.

But all this, Evan Bell does not buy it. He doesn't need Fremantle media experience at all, because he knows all the experience of the talent show Mōsuo over a decade. Therefore, Evan Yibel smiled and replied, "Of course, our cooperation has always been very pleasant, including the copyright buyout of more than a dozen countries." The tone of this sentence is very ordinary, and the content is also very ordinary, but Evangelist At this time, Vember actually emphasized Nigel-Legger's words, which was very meaningful.

In the ears of Deborah-Johnson and Nigel-Leggers, it was an irony: Since the cooperation is pleasant, what is the situation today?

It's a pity that Evan Bell didn't give the old fox Nigel Leggs a chance to continue talking, so he turned his head and said to everyone, "Everyone came to me today, presumably not to invest in Eleven Studio?"

As soon as Evan Bell spoke, he attracted everyone's attention, and the content of his words made everyone laugh. However, Deborah Johnson and Nigel Leggs smiled at each other, but there was some helplessness in their smiles.

Naturally, Fremantle Media did not want to break up with Evan Bell, nor did they want to lose their own interests. It was indeed a bit too hasty. After all, judging from the copyright buyouts in the previous 12 countries, Evan-Bell has no intention of raising the price at all, and the cooperation has always been very pleasant. Now, because of the unexpected move of Fox TV, the plan of Fremantle Media has been disrupted, and the subsequent negotiations have also been complicated.

Evan-Bell looked back at Deborah-Johnson and said with a smile, "Pop idols, there is no doubt about their success, so the effects of landing in the United States are already obvious. I will miss this opportunity." After speaking, Evan Bell looked back at Teddy Bell and handed over the task of hosting to Teddy Bell.

Recently, Teddy Bell has been following up. He has a much clearer grasp of the situation than Evan Bell himself, so it is obviously more appropriate for Teddy Bell to talk.

After Teddy Bell stood up, there was not much courtesy. The unexpected appearance of the three major commercial TV stations today made the negotiation methods they prepared earlier invalid. In front of this group of experienced producers, Teddy Bell doesn't think he can do it, so he intends to be direct "for "pop idols, landing in the United States, our Eleven Studio will definitely It's great, and I think so is our collaborator, Fremantle Media. "This sentence made Deborah-Johnson feel a little relieved. After all, at this time, Teddy-Bell still mentioned them with the word "collaborator".

"But which TV station is hosting this audition, I believe it's not the point, everyone can definitely do it well, after all, which TV station is a giant, not a small family of ours.

Small Eleven studios can create gods to discuss. "Teddy Bell's words made the atmosphere in the conference room a little more relaxed." So, like all transactions, the higher price wins. Let's see everyone's sincerity. "

Such a simple and rough negotiation method, but direct and effective, made the producers of the four TV stations start to murmur in their hearts. Deborah-Johnson was a little stunned~www.readwn.com~ She has always been impressed by Evan-Bell's proficiency in the negotiation process, and the contact with Teddy-Bell during this period is also the same .

Prior to this, the contact between Fremantle Media and the three major commercial TV stations was carried out separately, after all, this was also designed with commercial secrets. Today, the four competitors gathered together, Deborah Johnson also imagined various situations, but did not expect that Evan Bell and Teddy Bell were in such a simple way.

Deborah-Johnson couldn't help but let out a wry smile, and now Evan-Bell made it clear that he had the upper hand, and planned to raise the price on the ground without setting an upper limit. Then, the previous negotiations between Fremantle Media and the three major commercial TV stations will not count, and the clampdown between the four competitors and Fremantle Media will no longer exist.

Presumably the final winner was decided from the simplest bidding. All conditions comparison and terms competition were put on the table, and the bidding was carried out in the roughest way.

Neither the four contenders nor the Fremantle Media were surprised that all tactics no longer worked. It has to be said that this simplest negotiation method is the most effective.
