Big Manga

While the Ninghai TV station was broadcasting the interview, a group of guests also came to Manga Island: representatives from CCTV. The person who led them here was Lu Xiang, the director of CCTV, and the team leader of CCTV animation did not appear this time.

Meng Huo and Ye Xiong entertained them in the meeting room.

"Teacher He Xi, we are here for the copyright of the live-action TV series "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department"."

Lu Xiang got straight to the point, and what he said was not beyond Meng Huo's expectations. The copyright of the TV series "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" comics is now being snatched by various TV stations, and the reason why Ninghai TV station interviewed Phoenix Building was actually for the sake of Showing his favor to Meng Huo, he wanted to take this opportunity to increase his bargaining chip for the copyright of the TV series.

"Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" is a very standard shoujo manga. The heroine was originally an unknown and ordinary girl. Because of an accident, she joined the public relations department full of handsome guys. Since then, she has been surrounded by handsome men. The rich son of the family, won the favor of female readers.

The subject matter of this shoujo manga is particularly good, there are not many unrealistic elements in it, the plot takes place mainly in schools, the difficulty of adaptation is low, and the filming of TV series is also very simple. Coupled with the popularity cultivated by the manga serialization for three years, if "Sakura High School Male Public Relations Department" is made into a live-action TV series, its ratings will be very good.

China's romance dramas and idol dramas aimed at female audiences have always been the top TV dramas, with a large audience, and are generally TV projects that TV stations will actively produce. Therefore, plots like "Sakura High School Male Public Relations Department" are good and suitable for adaptation. And there are also popular works in itself. There is no TV station that is not excited.

"Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" announced the end, and the end means that the story is finalized and has a complete story view. It will be easier to adapt the series... No one in the various TV stations wants to miss this TV series, so people have been coming to Meng Huo to discuss it during this time.

But Meng Huo refused: "Master Lu, whether the copyright of Yinglan's TV series will be released is still under discussion in our company, and I can't give you an answer for the time being. You can go back first, and when we officially announce the news, It's not too late for you to come."

"That would be too late..."

Lu Xiang sighed. Phoenix company has been using this reason to perfunctory the TV station for a while. So other TV stations have started to prepare chips, and Ning Hai's interview is one of them. There are many more stations doing shows for that manga. But if you really want to wait for Phoenix Company to announce the news before everyone comes to grab it together, it will be too late.

Lu Xiang, who is familiar with Phoenix Company, knows how much Meng Huo has the right to speak. "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" is his work. In fact, as long as he got his personal consent, he didn't need any extra favors, and he could get the copyright of "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department"—that's why Lu Xiang came over.

"Teacher He Xi,

If you give us the copyright of the TV series "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department", we can pay you the highest copyright adaptation fee of the same type. Lu Xiang took out his chips and said, "At the same time, we will also invite top actors to participate in the production of TV dramas, and we will definitely not shame the comics." "

He was very confident in this bargaining chip. With the highest fee in the industry and the best star lineup, it was impossible for Meng Huo to refuse. It is obviously the best choice to hand over "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" to CCTV for production. It has a large audience and can maximize its influence, and actors are also willing to cooperate with CCTV.

as predicted. Meng Huo and the others were a little shocked.

"Teacher He Xi, it seems that this is pretty good." Ye Xiong whispered beside Meng Huo: "You don't have to worry about the highest income, influence and quality. You can talk to him about cooperation. If they agree to that cooperation, "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Club" can be handed over to them for production..."

"But the specific content of that cooperation has not yet been determined..."

"In general, we have already discussed it. As long as they agree, it's okay to make some concessions on the specific content."

After listening to Ye Xiong's advice. Meng Huo nodded slightly, then looked directly at Lu Xiang.

"Mr. Lu. The TV series copyright of "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" can be handed over to you, but..." He paused and said: "We hope to take this opportunity to deepen cooperation with you. We want to rely on animation programs to Our company's other businesses to promote..."

Lu Xiang was surprised at first, it was so simple? But after hearing all Meng Huo said, he was taken aback again: "What do you mean?"

"Let me explain to you."

Ye Xiong stood up and began to explain a new strategy of Phoenix Company.

The TV version of "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" can be sold, but Phoenix Company wants to use it in exchange for in-depth cooperation with a certain TV station. The specific content of the cooperation has not yet been determined, but the general framework is to hold a column during the animation broadcast time of the TV station on Saturdays and weekends. This column is jointly organized by the TV station and Phoenix Company, and the form can be varied.

For example, invite several seiyuu from Phoenix Company to participate in the program every week, or let some cartoonists go up to visit, play games, hold some animation-related activities, etc... This column can strengthen the relationship between Phoenix Company, TV stations and animation audiences Interaction, and precious event prizes will be distributed every week, and the prizes will be provided by Phoenix Company.

"We can share half of the funding for hosting the column. We want to use this opportunity to change our image, increase our influence, and let more people know about it." Ye Xiong glanced at Meng Huo, and then added: "If necessary, why don't you?" Unfortunately, the teacher will also appear."

"This..." Lu Xiang and his subordinates looked at each other a few times, they all frowned, and Lu Xiang said bluntly: "I'm sorry, we CCTV is very cautious about adding a column, and every minute of the program arrangement is important to us. Very precious... I cannot make an exception for your company."

He was slightly dissatisfied, the Phoenix Company had such a big appetite that it wanted to add a new column. How can CCTV's programs be so cheap? Its advertising efficiency per minute is enough to make other TV stations jealous, not to mention other things, the copyright fee of "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" can't make up for the loss of random addition of columns-even if this column only airs two days a week.

"Don't rush to refuse." Meng Huo said: "We also understand that it is difficult for you to add a new column, but if you are willing to agree to this cooperation, our company will give you the first broadcast priority of all future animations ...As long as your bid is not lower than 80% of the highest bidder, you will get priority."

First broadcast priority, and this is not the first broadcast priority under the same conditions! Lu Xiang's heart was shaken. It is indeed a big temptation to win the animation of Phoenix Company at 80% of the price. If this cooperation is agreed, CCTV Animation will be able to form a long-term and stable cooperation model with Phoenix, which will no longer be a contract based solely on works.

Lu Xiang's heart was moved. The loss caused by adding a column and the benefit of getting the first broadcast priority of Phoenix animation animation were swinging back and forth in his mind. This is a balance. If the choice is correct, it may guarantee that CCTV will be in the animation industry for decades. Don't fall behind.

"Mr. He Xi, let me think about it!" He didn't dare to draw conclusions right away, but said cautiously: "I'm going back to CCTV for a few days of discussion. How about I come back to give you an answer after the discussion?" Meng Huo nodded, He shook hands with Lu Xiang and said, "I look forward to your answer."

This cooperation is a key step in the reform of Phoenix Company, and Meng Huo hopes that it will come true smoothly. If it succeeds, centering on voice actors, many departments of the Phoenix Company will benefit from it, and the slight loss in animation broadcasting will be replaced by other greater benefits.

Moreover, Meng Huo also wanted to stabilize a friendly TV station as soon as possible. He didn't want to make the mistake of Ninghai TV station again, and he didn't want to change the animation's premiere TV station in the future. In the past year, he was very satisfied with the cooperation with CCTV. Meng Huo felt that CCTV would have the courage to make a correct decision.

For CCTV, the loss of adding a column is only short-lived, but the benefits will be long-lasting. (to be continued)
