Deputy Director Cai took a sip, drank the tea slowly, and said: "But what we are most afraid of is the villain who stabs us in the back. Zhao Ke from [Qiyun Entertainment] and the guy behind him are both villains." , Zhao Ke's "Gold Medal Mediator" was expelled to China Beijing TV for broadcast, and my vote was included in it, so I would not be able to let go for a day until he died. I also have connections in the radio and television, so I said Just say a word and stare at this Zhao Ke."
Lao Cui couldn't laugh or cry: "Is this really "Exchange Life"?"
The longer An Yang spends time in the TV industry, the more things he is exposed to and the deeper his experience becomes. Personal connections and power relations are really important in the Chinese TV industry!
Ning Hao laughed: "Brother Yang, let them broadcast it, I'm not afraid of competition at all!"
Whether or not the secret is leaked does not affect his cooperation with Deputy Director Cai. After all, "A Bite of China" is a meat dish, and "Metamorphosis" is just a tie-in. After Yang An returned, he quickly reached an intention to cooperate with the other party, and what follows is Waiting for Deputy Director Cai to come forward and "purchase" the copyright of "A Bite of China" in the name of CCTV.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and Deputy Director Cai sent a big gift. At twelve o'clock at night, the main film of "Exchange Life" for review was obtained by Yang An!
Duan Haishan and Lao Cui both stayed in Hongfeng, and they began investigating after receiving the call.
Yang An had never heard of the name "Exchange Life" and felt a little baffled: "Why is it so interesting?"
The most powerful traditional local satellite TV stations such as Zisong TV and Blue Ocean TV are the most powerful in producing self-produced programs, but these two TV stations have a particularly good relationship with Yang An.
A week later, Yang An brought his professional team to Beijing and stayed at a star-rated hotel. They were warmly received by Deputy Director Cai and his party.
Yang An's mind was buzzing. He sat up involuntarily and asked seriously: "What's going on? Please tell me carefully. I have never heard of this program. Which TV station produced it?"
In addition, there is the behemoth CCTV. CCTV has the broadest platform and its status is unshakable. Compared with local TV stations such as Zisong TV and Blue Ocean TV, Yang An is more unwilling to compete with CCTV, so he chose to invest in Cai Futai Director, and have a good relationship with Deputy Director Cai.
"Don't worry, drink tea first, I'll tell you slowly!"
When it comes to independent production companies in China, there used to be four giants. However, Yang An stepped in and the four giants all abdicated. It was completely out of date. Only Enron Film and Television Entertainment Company was left as the dominant one.
"After the "If You Are the One" incident happened last year, as you know, there was a lot of commotion within CCTV, and there were also struggles at the top. Of course, ordinary people outside were completely unaware. In fact, no one wants to go to bed in fear every day. Everyone Everyone wants to do a good job in programs, build a career, get senior qualifications, and climb up step by step. To put it bluntly, it means getting promoted, taking power, and making money.”
He has been filming "A Bite of China" for more than a year, starting before "If You Are the One" aired last year. In the early stage, he only gave instructions to the field directors on how to shoot and wrote some rough scripts and outlines. The later stage was completely left to Lao Cui Zai. , Lao Cui treated it with all his heart, and it took more than a year to finally conceive it. Yang An asked to hide it in the snow, just for today.
Yang Andao: "It's not that they follow the trend, they should have been following us since before we started shooting. Maybe they can control every step of our progress and be one step ahead of us. They submitted it for review the day before yesterday, and it was broadcast on China Beijing TV , one episode a day!”
Yang An went to CCTV to sign contracts for broadcasting these two documentaries. In addition to focusing on the CCTV platform and thinking it was the best broadcast channel, he also took a fancy to Deputy Director Cai.
Lao Cui knew that something was wrong. This was a very serious leak of information. He said, "Don't worry. I'll investigate this matter and call you back later."
Just now Song Xiaomei asked Deputy Director Cai why he was willing to take the risk. He didn't say it clearly, but he knew what Deputy Director Cai was thinking.
On the other hand, CCTV will have a new leadership next year. Deputy Director Cai is very vocal, but his competitors are stronger. Yang An’s program is political achievement. It is far more effective for him to provide help at the right time than to wait for Deputy Director Cai to win the game and then add icing on the cake. Much more. As long as Deputy Director Cai wins, those so-called risks will almost disappear, the ban on radio and television will be lifted, and the honeymoon between CCTV and Yang An will begin again. This is a win-win situation for the TV station, Yang An, and the audience. situation.
After hanging up, Yang An was still worried and called Duan Haishan to explain the general situation.
This is the core secret of Enron. Why are there so few leaks in some of Yang An’s indoor variety shows? Why is it so difficult to find leaked content online? Duan Haishan has been a TV director all his life and is very shrewd. Together with a group of technical staff under Yang An, they can not only ensure the safety of group performances, but also the company's employees are under surveillance. Of course, the person in control is Yang An. An, Duan Haishan can only do it with his authorization.
Yang An doesn't have much hope in not reporting this. His monitoring network only includes company phone numbers, Internet, laptops, work chat accounts, etc. He is not crazy enough to monitor employees' private mobile phones. If the insider is smart enough, he can You must be careful when reporting a letter, and it is difficult to grasp the handle.
Yang An vaguely grasped the point: "You mean, Zhao Ke is plagiarizing "Transformation Plan"?"
Yang An felt serious and stood up: "Wait a moment, I will make a few calls to ask."
Including Ning Hao, the four of them held a phone video conference, watched "Exchange Life" online, and at the same time compared all aspects with their own "Transformation Plan".
As the boss, Yang An has few opponents. His company is sailing in the ocean like a behemoth. He has never heard of any news about the four giants of "Nebula Laser". Oh, last time on Shenzhen Satellite TV, [Star Culture] Guo Xingyang spent 2.5 million to buy the two creative ideas "China's Most Beautiful Children's Voice" and "Youth Goes Forward". He knew this news, but he didn't hear what was behind it
Yang An hummed: "I've asked Lao Cui to ask, and I'll see if I can get it here."
Deputy Director Cai was very satisfied with Yang An's performance. At this time, his vanity was bursting at the seams, and he thought to himself, Yang An is so great, but there are programs that you don't know about, and there are things in the domestic TV industry that you don't know about!
This is respect and responsibility for Deputy Director Cai, and also responsibility for oneself.
Duan Haishan smiled bitterly: "Why hasn't Zhu Xiaoming's level improved? It gave us a false alarm!"
Half an hour later, the four of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
People below were busy. Deputy Director Cai and Yang An, the two bosses, were drinking tea nearby. There was a laptop in front of them, which was playing "Metamorphosis" on pause. Deputy Director Cai came over and whispered Said: "I saw an interesting program called "Exchange Life" on the radio and television."
The episode of "If You Are the One" almost put him in trouble. Fortunately, Wang Shi cooperated with him and came to help. Several official media spoke for him. Zisongwei supported him, and Deputy Director Cai of CCTV also spoke for him. With his support, he was able to withstand [Qiyun Entertainment]'s blockade and successfully counterattacked once.
Yang An and Deputy Director Cai first had friendly discussions to reach a consensus and set the main tone. The people below were communicating closely, trying to finalize all the details and reach cooperation as quickly as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares.
It would take a few days to sign a contract with CCTV Documentary Channel, and the filming of "Metamorphosis" was about to be completed. Yang An planned to make samples before sending them to Beijing, and signed the contract for the two programs together to avoid having to make several trips.
Therefore, excluding the four outdated giants, Yang An's competitors are only left with the self-made programs of various TV stations.
Duan Haishan said: "Because you said it is 'especially similar', I think not only the frame was leaked, but the content must also be leaked. So secondly, all employees who have access to the frame and content of "Metamorphosis" are suspected. You don't care about this, I'll be responsible for finding him."
Deputy Director Cai nodded: "Although Radio and Television does not care about the specific affairs of local TV stations, they have supervisory power. They all know about the new program review of local TV stations, but they basically don't care. My friend saw Zhao Zhao through supervision. Ke's new program, he told me the general content of what he saw. I think it is very similar to "Metamorphosis"! "Exchange Life" is a large-scale inspirational outdoor reality show jointly produced by the four companies of "Nebula Laser". It was submitted for review the day before yesterday, and the accepting unit is China Beijing Television. They plan to broadcast it next to "Golden Mediator" at 10:45 every night, with one episode a day, 30 minutes per episode, and 40 minutes of advertising."
But his experience is very important. Halfway through Yang An's talk, Duan Haishan knew what was going on: "First, find a way to get their films and see how they are different from us and how similar they are."
Although Deputy Director Cai said, "It doesn't matter. I agree to "Metamorphosis" without watching it," but Yang An still insisted on making a sample first and showing it to Deputy Director Cai.
…
Why delay on purpose? On the one hand, the longer the ban on the introduction of radio and television is delayed, the weaker its influence will be. Yang An chose to enter the show quietly on the documentary channel, so that it is not easily discovered by others.
Arriving outside, Yang An first called Lao Cui: "Have you heard of [Qiyun Entertainment]'s new program "Exchange Life"? 'Nebula Laser' was jointly produced by the four of them. I heard that the content is a high imitation of ours." "Metamorphosis Plan"!"
Deputy Director Cai pointed to the notebook: "I am almost born to the same mother as your "Transfiguration Plan"."
Duan Haishan is now less involved in specific matters and has delegated a lot of power. He works as a consultant at Enron.
Lao Cui thought he heard wrongly: "What's going on? Our program hasn't been broadcast yet, and someone else has followed suit?"
Deputy Director Cai smiled and refilled Yang An's tea. Yang An quickly took the hot water bottle and filled it up for both of them.
