Chapter 69 Finally Negotiated
Chapter 69 The negotiation is finally completed
Fan Wubing originally planned to stay here, so she picked up Ziqi after recording the show and sent her home. However, after waiting here for less than half an hour, Old Chen called over and said that he had something to do and needed an interview.
Therefore, Fan Wubing had to drive back to CCTV to see what kind of monsters Old Chen was doing.
The station was crowded and very lively, probably preparing for a large-scale celebration on July 1st, so it seemed a bit messy. Actors from all over the world were discussing details of the performance with the reception staff, and also implementing their food and accommodation issues in the recent period.
Fan Wubing bypassed those busy people and walked straight to Lao Chen's office, but found that he had been waiting outside the door.
"Why are you polite today?" Fan Wubing asked in surprise.
Old Chen was speechless and said for a long time, "You often slander me in personality! But I am not concerned about it, right?" Then he said, "It's still about cooperation. This time we are talking face to face. Some things need to be explained clearly. If there are no other differences, I think I can sign the contract."
"Can you make the decision again?" Fan Wubing's words immediately made Lao Chen very angry again.
"I really have no common language with you!" Old Chen sat down on his own, then took out a lot of information from the table, and began to negotiate with Fan Wubing on several important issues mentioned at the beginning.
Fan Wubing took a chair and sat opposite Lao Chen, listening to Lao Chen's stern face and chanting the terms with a smile, feeling very satisfied. Of course, he would occasionally criticize certain terms and quit.
"We should not be too overdoing our own life. At most, we can get a satellite to launch it ourselves!" Old Chen felt very troubled by Fan Wubing's various additional conditions. It was obviously not a big deal, but he insisted on putting it into the contract to discuss it, which made Old Chen feel a little unable to find a focus.
For example, after the launch of the new channel, Fan Wubing has reached a consensus on the overall packaging issue of a column. That is to say, Fan Wubing's company has all the problems of the entire column from design to packaging to program planning to staffing to program material selection, and advertising.
Fan Wubing's company has obtained all the power and benefits of the time of this section without violating national laws and social morality. This is equivalent to Fan Wubing contracting a column on a certain CCTV channel.
There are not many objections to this in CCTV. After all, once there are more and more channels, the allocation of human resources will be tight. The best way is to conduct column contracting and introduce competition mechanisms. Columns with high ratings and high returns will continue, while columns with low ratings and low returns will be automatically eliminated. Except for some inherent columns that CCTV must adhere to, other programs should be carried out in accordance with this example.
It is not because CCTV leaders want to delegate power, but the team is getting bigger and bigger. The original management system is no longer able to meet the current actual situation. With the emergence of local TV stations, CCTV must make some reforms to cope with the increasingly severe situation. Therefore, the idea of the contracting column proposed by Fan Wubing provides them with a new way of work.
However, Fan Wubing's additional requirements are more annoying. He requires five actors to appear on the Spring Festival Gala every year.
"Your request is too much!" Old Chen shook his head repeatedly, "The Spring Festival Gala is a very serious matter, how can it be used to bargain? Not to mention five, just one is a very difficult thing. Don't you know how fierce the competition is for the Spring Festival Gala now? Many first-class actors in the country are not the turn. How could I make this opening for you? Even if I am willing to let it go, who will be the one who will ruin the show? Are you intentionally unable to get along with me?"
"Your thinking is too narrow!" Fan Wubing smiled and listened to Old Chen's venting, and then refuted, "Aren't you just making clear prices now? You can go to the Spring Festival Gala from hundreds of thousands to one million. Even if you don't give me a discount, the five people will only be five million. I will let you use three satellites for free. What a great sacrifice this is? Why bother calculating on these trivial matters? You have to see that the field of cooperation is very broad and the profit space is extremely huge!"
Old Chen then objected, "There is also the question of your resource sharing? Do you mean that as long as you need it, you can choose the hosts in our station? Do you think there is such a cheap good thing? If you want Luo Jing and Li Ruiying, will we agree to you too?"
"Brother, you probably misinterpreted my meaning!" Fan Wubing replied with a smile, "I wouldn't have to compete with the news broadcast for hosts, right? Besides, the hosting styles of the two of them are not very suitable for entertainment programs!"
"Then who do you like? I think your motivation for putting this condition is a bit impure!" Old Chen said tit-for-tat.
"I think your little niece is good, I want this." Fan Wubing said without any concealment.
"My little niece? Ziqi?" Old Chen glared at his eyes and shouted loudly, "Don't think about it! That's a good seedling that we focus on cultivating!"
"Who believes you!" Fan Wubing curled his lips and said, "You don't even pay the salary to others, so how can you say it's the key to training?"
"I'm cultivating her hard-working spirit. Is it appropriate for a child to spend so much money?" Old Chen replied with a stern voice.
The two of them discussed for a long time, but did not give in to each other. Finally, Fan Wubing slapped the table and said, "If it doesn't work, just go! You can set up your own satellites. Keep my satellites for yourself, and sell them to foreigners at most."
"You!" Old Chen was speechless when he heard this, not knowing what to say.
In fact, CCTV cannot wait to buy satellites by itself. The domestic satellite development power is limited, and in terms of the technical performance of communication satellites, the technology gap between domestic satellites and the most advanced communication satellites manufactured by Hughes is very large.
Due to the financial resources and material resources and the manufacturing capacity of communication satellites, it is unlikely that China will develop communication satellites that specifically provide broadcasts for TV programs in recent years. Therefore, Fan Wubing does not need to worry about the business being unanimous. Although CCTV may also realize its own program expansion plan by purchasing Hughes Satellite's communication satellite, Fan Wubing is very clear that Hughes has recently fallen into an acquisition crisis and may not be able to take care of itself. He may not be in the mood to talk about such a small business. At this time, their senior executives are probably considering where the future will be.
Fan Wubing looked at Lao Chen without saying a word, but just picked up the tea cup to drink tea. Soon a pot of tea came to an end.
"I'll go and change the tea leaves!" Old Chen took the opportunity to leave with the teapot, obviously he wanted to report to the leader.
After about ten minutes, when Fan Wubing was a little sleepy, Old Chen finally came back and poured a cup of tea for Fan Wubing, and then said, "Okay, Ziqi can use it for you."
"Why do I feel a little awkward when I say this?" Fan Wubing scratched his head, feeling that it was a bit unpleasant.
Although Fan Wubing's purpose was finally achieved, CCTV also put forward a requirement, that is, if the ratings of the column contracted by Fan Wubing are lower than the average ratings of CCTV for a consecutive month, the column will automatically disappear, and the income problem mentioned by Fan Wubing will be automatically invalidated.
"Haha, this condition doesn't matter. If the ratings are low, you will naturally not be able to attract advertisements. What else can you talk about? If it is really miserable, I, Fan Wubing, have no shame to live on CCTV! I agree with this." After hearing Lao Chen's request, Fan Wubing agreed with a smile.
What Fan Wubing doesn’t have to worry about the most is the ratings. In the early stages of the entertainment industry’s development into the market, it is understandable that other people don’t know what to do, but Fan Wubing knows it! It’s nothing more than the transition from serious programs to entertainment programs, professional entertainment programs to mass entertainment programs, and traditional elegant programs to vulgar programs. What are the difficulties?
Whether it is "The Same Song", "Lucky Fifty-Two", whether it is "Dream Theater", or "The Avenue of Stars", these can be regarded as the stage of the people. Although there must be some indispensable tricks in it, overall, these programs that have evolved from foreign entertainment programs are designed based on one principle, namely the principle of national participation.
As long as you have a mass base, will you still worry about not being able to increase your ratings?
However, Fan Wubing felt that these projects should be carried out based on the principle of gradual progress and could not expect to become fat in one bite, so there should be a comprehensive consideration in specific operations.
