The meal ended in a strange atmosphere, and Pei Shaoze took the initiative to pay for it.
While he was going out, Cheng Yiming frowned and sat beside his son in a hurry, and said with a sad expression: "Do you really understand what kind of person Pei Shaoze is? You are not afraid that he is just playing with you? He is after all. It's Tianxuan's boss, what kind of people don't you have around? Why are you so committed to him!"
Jiang Qiong said softly, "Xia Xia, my parents are also worried that you will be deceived by his sweet words."
Cheng Xia thought hilariously, Brother Pei doesn't speak sweet words at all, he only uses actions to show his concern for a person. His love for himself can't be fake, if it can be faked, then his acting skills are too good.
"Mom and dad, don't worry, I know what I know." Cheng Xia looked at the two of them and said seriously, "Time can prove everything. If he acts in front of me, he can't act for a lifetime, right?"
Cheng Yiming and Jiang Qiong looked at their son's firm expression, and they didn't want to say anything more.
After the meal, Pei Shaoze personally drove Cheng Xia's parents back to the hotel, while he himself went to the airport, and the plane flew to Rongcheng that night.
This time, the boss of Little Bear TV personally met with him, and wanted to talk to him about the exclusive broadcasting rights of the next drama "Gone Trace".
Pei Shaoze still remembered the last time their boss Chen offered a 3 million buyout price for "Folding Paper" with a look of disdain. Now, he took the initiative to lower his body and asked the big boss Jiang Zhi to come over in person, which could be regarded as giving Pei Shaoze enough face.
At the dinner, Pei Shaoze said simply, "I'm sorry for this drama, but I won't give you the exclusive rights to broadcast it."
President Chen's face was about to burst into a smile, and his tone was quite kind: "President Pei, last time I was blind, and I didn't see the great potential of our "Folding Paper", you don't remember the villain. This time, we are really sincere and want to cooperate with you, whether it's a high-priced buyout, box office split, advance on-demand, all kinds of methods can be negotiated."
Pei Shaoze is not a person who holds grudges. In business, he only talks about interests. The collapse of the last cooperation negotiation does not mean that he will not cooperate in the future. It's just that he really didn't want "The Traces of Disappearance" to be broadcast exclusively on Bear TV.
Pei Shaoze calmly took a sip from the teacup and said lightly, "You should know Director Zhu's reputation. His previous suspense dramas have always been ranked in the top three in the rating list. From my point of view, this "Traces of Disappearance" "Hopefully won the first place in the suspense drama genre."
Several executives of Bear TV looked at each other.
Type first, this is no joke! Once a certain drama wins the first place rating in a certain type of TV series, then audiences who like this theme will definitely follow the trend to watch it. Humans have a herd mentality. Click on the list of suspense dramas and see that "The Traces of Disappearance" is ranked first, then this drama does not need advertising, just relying on word of mouth, there will be a steady stream of traffic!
President Jiang's expression immediately became serious: "I believe in Director Zhu's level, and I also believe in President Pei's vision. Our Bear TV is the video platform with the largest number of members in China. You can make a satisfactory condition, and we will discuss it carefully."
Pei Shaoze's voice was calm: "You don't understand what I mean. I will not give Xiaoxiong TV the exclusive broadcast rights, nor will I give any platform-exclusive broadcast rights. I want this drama to be broadcast simultaneously on the entire network."
Everyone: "… "
The whole network is synchronized, that is the treatment that only popular IP dramas and well-known star TV dramas can get!
Where does a 12-episode suspense drama come from
Pei Shaoze followed closely and said, "Of course, if President Jiang feels that this drama is not eligible to be synchronized across the network, or if you don't want to share the pie, we can also not cooperate. I will continue to talk with other platforms."
President Jiang: "..."
At such a young age, it can be tricky!
The results of the previous drama "Folding Paper" are there. Linghu TV has made a lot of money. The newly registered members who are attracted by "Folding Paper" have increased by several million. The net profit earned by lying down has already It broke a billion. Now, who would dare to underestimate this President Pei
He was not yet 30 years old, and the first campus drama he invested in became popular and earned more than ten times the income of the entire network. When Cheng Xia was smeared, he remained calm, and after three days of dormancy, the Thunder attacked and reversed the situation in one breath. Such courage, the public relations companies in the industry should be ashamed.
Don't work with him? At that time, other platforms will have "Gone Traces" synchronously broadcast, but not Bear TV? Wouldn't that be watching a large piece of fat be divided up by the peers, and he couldn't even drink the broth? !
President Jiang was silent for a moment, then raised his glass with a smile: "President Pei, it's really a formidable future."
This old fritter is more than ten years older than Pei Shaoze, and Pei Shaoze didn't want to offend him. Hearing this, he politely raised his glass and touched him: "It's a pleasure to work together. In the future, the drama in my hand, as well as with him Your opportunity to continue working together."
Mr. Jiang laughed and said: "Then I expect Mr. Pei to invest in more high-quality products!"
The two simply clinked glasses and agreed on the broadcast mode of "Gone Trace".
After Xiaoxiong TV was completed, other platforms followed the news and threw an olive branch to Pei Shaoze.
President Liu of Linghu TV said with a bitter face: "Didn't you say that we should be given priority, we can offer the best conditions!"
Pei Shaoze said with a smile: "Sorry, I still think that the show "The Traces of Disappearance" is more suitable for broadcasting on all platforms, and Linghu will also be on the shelves. You can recommend more at that time. Anyway, every platform broadcasts it. , each platform has benefits.”
President Liu was helpless: "Then what is the split this time?"
Pei Shaoze said mildly, "Last time we scored 46 points, this time is not as good as 37 points?"
Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted: "It must be you seven, we three, right!"
Pei Shaoze nodded: "President Liu is right."
President Liu almost vomited blood: "...You are really an old fox! You are not yet 30 years old, and you are so cunning. How can you get it in the future?"
Due to the broadcast of "Folding Paper", the two have been very familiar with each other during this period of time, but Mr. Liu's joke is to the point. cunning? How can a businessman not be cunning, Pei Shaoze will only strive for the best interests for himself when negotiating. As a TV series producer, it is fundamental to have a good relationship with the video platform, but if the quality of the TV series itself is excellent, then he has the initiative.
Pei Shaoze raised his lips lightly and said in a low voice, "Mr. Liu has won the prize. Cooperation and win-win, isn't it good for everyone to earn together?"
President Liu: "...Okay, okay, I'll let the legal affairs go through the contract tomorrow, and I hope your next drama will do better!"
The bosses of major video platforms both love and hate Pei Shaoze.
He didn't give anyone the exclusive broadcast rights, but the lion opened his mouth and wanted to play on all platforms together
At this time, it is the platform's turn to be embarrassed. You must make time for this drama. You can't fall behind when other platforms broadcast it! The homepage of other platforms has a big push, your recommendation is not strong enough, and the income is not high enough, that is your own problem!
The broadcast mode of competition and win-win has made the major platforms feel like they have fought chicken blood, and began to prepare for the promotion of this drama early.
After all, Director Zhu is the leader of suspense drama directors. The quality of the episodes shot is exquisite, not to mention the picture quality. Each episode is like a movie if you watch it alone. Pei Shaoze found the best music studio in China to tailor the thriller-style soundtrack and theme song for the show, and the post-production company also found a first-class editing and special effects team in the industry.
The 12-episode drama is short and concise, the plot is tense and exciting, full of suspense, and the characters are flesh and blood. Pei Shaoze said that this drama can win the first place in the rating list of suspense dramas, not empty words. He has watched a lot of suspense dramas in reality, and Director Zhu's film is really good.
Cheng Xia's performance in it is also commendable. There is no sense of disobedience to the Alpha detective, and his acting skills have improved a lot compared to the first school drama. Pei Shaoze is confident that this drama will achieve better results than "Folding Paper".
***
The summer vacation is over soon, and the fiercely competitive summer vacation file has officially ended.
In the end, "Folding Paper" steadily ranked first in both broadcast volume and sales volume. Linghu TV's backstage sales exceeded 300 million, breaking the historical record of revenue for campus-themed web dramas!
Pei Shaoze was just a fledgling. The first drama invested 10 million yuan and made a net profit of 100 million yuan, a tenfold increase, becoming the biggest dark horse in the first half of the year.
In the same period, several big IP dramas with an investment of more than 100 million yuan failed to recover the cost. Netizens said: "The audience's eyes are sharp, and whether the drama is good or not is not just about money!" "I hope there will be more likes. President Pei is such a serious investor in dramas!"
Pei Shaoze also has more than 5 million followers on Weibo, and is dubbed by netizens as "the most popular president" and "a handsome boss who can make his debut".
In September after the holiday, Linghu TV invited the crew of "Folding Paper" to hold a celebration banquet, and all the main creators and leading actors of the crew were present. Cheng Xia and Pei Shaoze hadn't seen each other for half a month. When they met at the celebration banquet, they gave each other a tacit smile.
Cheng Xia knew that Brother Pei was busy with the production and scheduling of the next drama, but Cheng Xia was busy with advertising endorsements these days—
That's right, since the folding paper fire, advertisers have come to the door one after another. Zhou Yan has been busy recently and helped Cheng Xia screen out a few advertisements that fit the image.
Cheng Xia's hands are particularly good-looking, and the advertisement for the hand sanitizer was filmed a few days ago.
In addition, she also helped Cheng Xia pick up the long-term spokesperson of the car model splicing building blocks, and signed a three-year contract in one breath. Cheng Xia posted the car model that Pei Shaoze sent to Cheng Xia on his birthday, and Cheng Xia posted it on Weibo. After the manufacturer knew that Cheng Xia was a die-hard fan of his family, he wisely asked Cheng Xia to serve as a spokesperson, and promised to mail it to him as soon as possible. He made Cheng Xia happy!
In addition, there are some magazine covers, TV interviews and so on.
Cheng Xia's recent announcements were packed, and he was very busy every day. He gradually realized the busyness and fulfillment of being a star. The back of the neck was bitten by Brother Pei, so Cheng Xia specially bought a neck pad to hide the glands. Anyway, it is normal for Omega to hide the glands, and no one can see the tooth marks left on his neck. As for pheromones, he chose to spray his body with a light orange scent to confuse the audience.
The two are busy, but they make time for video every night, and their relationship is getting closer and closer.
On the night of the celebration banquet, Pei Shaoze generously distributed red envelopes to the main creators and actors of the crew. Director Liu was so excited that he burst into tears: "I have never received such a big red envelope!"
Actors such as Cheng Xia and Shen Kai also swiped "Thank you boss" in the group!
The school drama "Folding Paper" was not well-received from the beginning when the project was approved, to the questioning of the whole network when it was broadcast, and then to the successful conclusion of the celebration banquet - all the staff and actors who participated in the filming of this drama felt that this It was the most unforgettable experience of their lives.
After the celebration banquet broke up, Cheng Xia happily took a check of 880,000 yuan and returned to Tianxuan headquarters with President Pei.
The familiar president's office, the two face each other, this time they are already a couple.
Pei Shaoze lowered the curtains, walked to Cheng Xia, rubbed the boy's head habitually, and asked in a low voice, "Are you busy recently? There are more and more announcements, are you still adapting?"
Cheng Xia said with a smile: "It's good! I have something to do every day, which shows that I am a famous actor. If I stay at home every day, then I have to worry about whether I have been forgotten by everyone."
The young boy is full of energy at all times. Pei Shaoze hugged Cheng Xia on the sofa and said, "Zhou Yan's ability is not bad. The advertisements and endorsements I picked for you recently are all in line with your image. But the most important thing for an actor is Still works."
He picked up the folder on the table and handed it to Cheng Xia: "Look at it."
Cheng Xia sat obediently on Brother Pei's lap, opened the folder and looked carefully: "... movie?"
Pei Shaoze nodded and explained: "I have almost mastered the evidence that Vice President Cui privately transferred the company's funds. At the year-end shareholders' meeting, I will let the IRS intervene in the investigation and kick Cui Jue out of Tianxuan in one go. , I will slowly reform the company side. The first step is to establish Tianxuan Records and Tianxuan Films. The record company separates the singers for management, and the film industry invests in movies and expands the theater chain..."
Cheng Xia listened carefully.
His brother Pei is very capable, and when it comes to work, he is a blast.
Cheng Xia likes to listen to Pei Shaoze calmly talk about his work, which will make him feel that Brother Pei is not just treating him as a child, but is willing to let him know the next plan and treat him as someone who can talk and discuss. lovers.
Cheng Xia nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice: "Well, this is good. The Tianxuan Group is too big and messy now. If Tianxuan Films is established to invest in movies, Tianxuan will have more artists in the future. Road."
Pei Shaoze said: "That's right. I have a good brother named Qin Rong. His offline theaters are located in large, medium and small cities across the country. I will have a good talk with him about cooperation. When our films are released, we will have an advantage in arranging films. After the establishment of Tianxuan Films next year, I will officially enter the film festival. If you are interested, you can also go to the film."
Cheng Xia nodded excitedly: "That's great! I also really want to sit in the cinema and see myself through the giant screen. When that time comes, I'll buy VIP movie tickets, and invite my parents to watch it together, in a private room!"
Seeing the excited look of the little guy, Pei Shaoze gently kissed the boy's forehead, and a gentle smile rose on the corner of his lips.
I have you in my future plans.
And you will have me by your side in your future.
