Chapter 591 Mr. Wang’s Thoughts

If the entertainment industry wants to develop vigorously, capital injection is essential. Why are there so many excellent program producers in South Korea? Because the ratings of programs are closely related to the rewards of producers, so they rack their brains to plan some excellent programs. In China, people who work at TV stations are paid dead wages, so no one is willing to try to make excellent programs.

Once the show is done, they will receive so much salary whether it is successful or not, so why do they still have to do thankless things?

Therefore, South Korea and Japan are relatively smart. If the entertainment industry wants to develop, it is naturally inseparable from excellent producers. But where can you find excellent people? It's very simple. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!

In the face of high rewards, no one will be tempted. In the face of high bonuses, there will always be people who dare to try, and even if they fail, there will always be people who dare. And trying is the best training. Otherwise, like the "base camp", it will be the same pattern for more than ten or twenty years, which can only be said to be boring! !

So after Mr. Wang talked about the shortcomings of variety shows caused by fixed salary, Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "Salary is a problem, and TV station scheduling is also a problem. Chinese people are used to watching TV series at home at night, so the TV station arranges them every day TV dramas are broadcast in the evening, and variety shows may only happen once a week, so naturally they will not receive support for development. This is different in places with developed entertainment industries in Korea and Japan. The schedules of TV stations are very full, and TV stations are busy every day. There are different types of variety shows broadcast..."

Zhang Ping'an continued: "In South Korea and Japan, TV dramas only broadcast one episode every day during prime time. But our TV series, two or even three episodes, takes up all the prime time. They broadcast one episode, and the rest is The prime time was given to variety shows. Not only did the TV series whet the appetite of the audience, but variety shows also developed accordingly, but China cannot do that. So no matter how hard we as producers try, we will not change this situation. It is difficult for Chinese variety shows to develop.”

Mr. Wang smiled and nodded and said: "So, didn't your agency publish the news? I hope the online video company can also participate in the production of the program."

When Mr. Wang said these words, Zhang Pingan finally understood what she meant by the dinner date tonight. It turned out that she was interested in the co-production of the program sent by Zhang Pingan, so she wanted to participate. Come get a share of the show’s production!

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "We have announced this news, but for now, I have not thought about producing any programs in China. If you ask me if I am willing to come back to produce, of course I am willing. After all, domestic The market is much bigger, isn't it? But it's hard to say what actual benefits our company will get from the production here, because China Television likes to keep the copyright in its hands. Even if I watch the production on the spot, don’t I still have to listen to the TV station’s instructions? There are so many frauds in China. If I just want to sell the copyright, then I might as well produce it overseas.

When the time comes, I will sell the copyright back and make two profits. Jiangsu has already signed a copyright agreement with us for "The King of Masked Singer" that I produced. "

Competition programs produced by China often involve fraud. Even "The Voice"...well, Zhang Chenchen's problem was that Zhang Ping'an took the lead in the fraud. Through his mother's help, Zhang Chenchen got one. Because he knows that the TV station is linked to some brokerage companies. For a strong person, after entering some quarter-finals, if you are unwilling to sign a contract, then you will be completely reduced to a 'accompanying' person.

Of course, Zhang Pingan also knew that this was because there were funds behind the operation. If he were from the perspective of capital, he would do the same thing. Those people the program team is willing to praise are all willing to make money for themselves. If you are not willing to make money for me, then why should I praise you? What good does it do me to make you famous?

When Mr. Wang listened to Zhang Pingan's words, she frowned slightly and said, "You have no idea of ​​producing a program for the time being." In fact, what she wanted to say was, if you have no idea of ​​producing a program, then what are you doing out there? Doesn't it mean that you want to attract some market investment when you are venting?

She is right to think so. If Zhang Ping'an doesn't have much background and strength and wants to get involved in the Chinese entertainment market, he will definitely need some help. After all, the entertainment industry is not that easy to get involved with.

Zhang Pingan nodded and said: "Yes, I just have no plans to come back for the time being. This release is also to show the market that I have the intention to produce programs, but I need the TV station or partners to give me some permission...otherwise I will take it." If I don't have the production rights, I might as well sell the copyright. After all, when I was a program producer in Korea, the entire program team followed my arrangements for filming, and I didn't want China's interests to be involved. , it involves my production, because what I want is the quality of the program!”

Mr. Wang laughed when she heard Zhang Pingan's words, because she felt that Zhang Pingan was still a little too naive. She smiled and said: "But in China there is no capital behind it, and the entertainment industry here is more difficult to get into than in South Korea and Japan!"

Zhang Pingan said with a wry smile: "It's hard to get into the entertainment industry in any country. But overseas capital only pursues profits, and they never tell producers what to do. Because the program is good, the profits will come naturally. When I make a program, I am afraid of encountering some people who rely on me being an investor and my people must do this and that. To be honest, it's very annoying to encounter such things, so I would rather not do it."

Mr. Wang smiled and said: "But you are a person who eats this bowl of rice, saying that you won't do it? Isn't this too simple? .. Yes, you also have a very popular live broadcast platform. Your live broadcast is very popular now, isn't it? How many shares do you have in that platform?"

Zhang Pingan responded: "I still have a lot in my hand. I am contacting buyers recently. I plan to sell the shares in my hand."

Mr. Wang said: "Oh? How many shares do you have? I know a lot of investors here. I will help you find out?"

Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "No, I'm in contact with Penguin recently. They will take my shares sooner or later, no later than next year."

Everyone in China knows that there are two major companies in China that are not short of money. One is Taotao, and the other is the penguin in Zhang Pingan's mouth. Since Zhang Pingan was negotiating with Taotao, Mr. Wang didn't say much.

Mr. Wang smiled and said, "By the way, Xiao Zhang, what does your family do?"

Zhang Pingan smiled, and he started to investigate the background. Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "If you want to find out, you should be able to find out. I'm not here..." Before he finished speaking, the phone in Zhang Pingan's pocket rang.

Zhang Pingan was a little surprised when he saw the incoming call from 'Fat Di'. Because she rarely called on weekdays, the two of them usually used 'Weixin' to send messages and chat. You know, she is also very busy at work on weekdays. In order not to disturb her work, it is most convenient for the two to chat by text.

Zhang Pingan picked up the phone: "Hey, why are you calling me? Did you know I'm back in China?"

Pang Di on the other end of the phone was also very surprised when she heard Zhang Pingan say he was back: "Oh? You're back in China? Then why didn't you send me a message when you came back?"

"I just came back today, and I have something to do here, so I didn't have time to send you a message. By the way, why did you call me during dinner time? Invite me to dinner?"

Pang Di smiled and said: "Hahaha, you didn't eat? Okay, let's have dinner together at the Peninsula Hotel. It just so happens that I saw the 'Principal' is also there."

Zhang Pingan said puzzledly: "Peninsula? You killed the TV series Is it finished? How come you have time to go back to Shanghai? "

"It's finished. I'm preparing to shoot a movie with Sister Mimi recently. Last time, didn't you tell me to introduce Sister Mimi to you? Coincidentally, Sister Mimi is also in Shanghai, so I thought of introducing you to her."

So that's the matter. Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "Is that so? Let's talk about it when I return to Shanghai. I'm in Yanjing now. It may take a few days for me to return to Shanghai. Then I'll ask her to have dinner together. The principal... he is really... hahaha!"

Zhang Pingan knew that the principal liked Sister Mimi very much, but she was not only married, but now her child was born, so it was too late to say anything.

"You are in Yanjing? I may go to Yanjing to shoot a movie in three months."

"After three months... I won't live in Yanjing for a long time. Okay, I have something else to talk to you about." After that, Zhang Pingan hung up the phone, and then sent a message to Pang Di on his mobile phone, saying that he was having dinner with Mr. Wang of Eighteen Entertainment.

Xika listened to Zhang Pingan answering the phone. It was a female voice speaking Chinese. She asked in confusion: "Who is it?"

"Fat Di, you met him at Shilla Hotel last time."

Xika just said lightly: "Oh, I still have some impression."

Ms. Wang did not find out about Zhang Pingan's background, but she knew where she could find out, from the principal! Although she had no contact with the principal, she knew who had a good relationship with the principal.

After having this simple meal with Zhang Pingan, Mr. Wang also understood Zhang Pingan's ambition to produce a program. As he said, if he wanted to cooperate, the first thing he needed was the rights of the producer. Before he had the rights, he would never co-produce.

Now, variety shows from South Korea such as "Running Man", "Extreme Challenge" and "Let's Fall in Love" have achieved good results in China, and many actors have received a lot of attention because of this. So Mr. Wang also wanted to co-produce, so that he could reasonably arrange his own artists to Zhang Pingan's program. After all, people in the entertainment industry also know that they have to follow the trend!
