Chapter 144： draft proposal

Hasn't the talent show started production yet? After returning to the family business, Gu Luobei remembered the information he got on the show just now.

If Gu Luobei's memory is correct, the first season of "American Idol" on Fox (x) in the United States made the talent show popular all over the world. focus on.

Since then, including talent shows such as "Super Girl" in China, it has taken root all over the world and has become a new ratings giant.

But in fact, the earliest talent show was not "American Idol" but the British singing talent show "Pop Idol (l, which is the originator of the world's talent show.

Gu Luobei remembered that the launch of "Pop Idol" should be in one year, that is, in September or October this year, creating a new program format. The idea for the talent show came from British gold medalist Si méng, Fowler and Bertelsmann record producer Si méng... Cowell.

Si méng... Fowler is an artist manager, the most famous artist under his door is Victoria... Beckham in the Spice Girls group, and he also has his own brokerage company, Old Entertainment.

West Taste Cowell is a senior music producer, and the world-famous West City Boys (fe) are his disciples. He is currently serving as a music consultant for Bertelsmann Records.

The two producers came up with the idea of ​​a singing talent show, and Qianzhi found Fremantle Media (a), which was established by the plan, to discuss the matter.

Guanglimantel Media is actually a branch of Bertelsmann Group, which is also an important reason why the two producers will find Xilimantel Media. You must know Xi méng... Cowell is now working at Bertelsmann Records .

With the history of Limantel Media, it can be traced back to the old year. Its predecessor, lmAG, ufa for short, was established in Germany. It started out by producing TV programs. After nearly a century of development, it has become a European A famous TV show production company. In January of this year, the German media giant Bertelsmann Group? The L Group acquired the company and re-launched as Tuanlimantel Media.

The first program known to the world by Guanglimantel Media was the British "Pop Idol" and subsequently produced famous TV programs including Got Talent, Millionaire, etc., including the blind date program that was later popular in China" The idea for If You Are the One also comes from the show "Take Me (ut produced by the company. It can be said that Fremantle Media has been recognized by the world in terms of creativity and quality in program production.

Ximeng-Fowler, Ximengyouwei, and Pinglimantel Media, after discussions, made detailed planning and regulations for naming the show "Pop Idol". In the end, the agreement was signed, the details of which are unknown. However, the program rules are jointly owned by the old entertainment company and Fremantle Media. Xilimantel Media is responsible for program production and owns the copyright of the program; however, the brokerage of the program is Yizhile Company. After the production of "Pop Idol" is completed, it will be delivered to the British Independent Television Station (Khan V) for broadcast.

After the "Pop Idol" broadcast, it quickly gained a huge sensation. In the second year, that is, in 2002, Simon Cowell was introduced to the United States and signed with Fox Television (x) in the United States, and the production of "American Idol" began. The show's ten-year journey to dominate the US ratings has also pushed the talent show to an all-time high, setting off a talent craze around the world.

If "Pop Idol" aired in September or October of this year according to memory, the show should have entered the pre-production stage by now, or even put into production, but why Ryan... Seacrest and Oprah ...Wen Pingrui have no impression at all? Is it because the two people are not well informed?

Gu Luobei made a decisive decision and searched the Internet again. He entered several large British portals, but found no relevant information, including the British Independent TV Station, and there was no clue that the "pop idol" was about to start the audition. Gu Luobei even went to the official website of Xilimantel Media and the official website of Kouhua Group to make inquiries, but there was still no information so... Is his idea really correct? The talent show hasn't started production yet, Simméng... Fowler and Siméméng-Cowell haven't had the talent show idea yet! What's going on here? Butterfly effect or his own memory has gone wrong.

If you don't have a job, why don't you try to take this opportunity into your own hands? Gu Luobei once tried to write movie scripts and TV drama scripts, but all failed. After all, there were too many lines to write down silently. But talent shows are different. This is a question of the competition system. Whether it is "American Idol" or the "Super Girl Voice" who was popular in China back then, Gu Luobei is all too familiar with the rules. The last difficult thing.

As long as you hold the talent show in your hands, it must be a money printing machine that makes money! However, Gu Luobei clearly knew that the real money for talent shows was the copyright and factory complaints: advertising was very simple, it was the right of the factory to complain during the broadcast of the program, which was in the hands of the TV station and had nothing to do with Gu Luobei.

The so-called copyright is also very simple. Just like music copyright and intellectual property rights, it is the original copyright of the program. Fox Television paid $75 million in royalties to bring "Pop Idol" to the United States. In the past life, the copyright of "pop idol" was owned by Simméng... Fowler, Simméng-Cowell and Fremantle Media. The two producers proposed ideas, and Fremantle Media was responsible for it. Production, the three parties are indistinguishable. Because the distribution media of the income and dividends has not been announced, Gu Luobei cannot know the specific figures, but it is estimated that there will be slightly more Freeman Qiaoer Media in charge of the production.

Later, after two seasons of "Pop Idol", Xiying Cowell joined another production company to launch the "Unknown Factors" singing talent show, but the competition system was changed. Because of copyright disputes, Ximéng Cowell Er and Xi méng... Fowler also fought a lawsuit.

This shows that the importance of copyright is now.

In addition, after the end of the talent show, the peripheral income such as album release, authorized souvenirs, concert tickets and so on should not be underestimated. But these all need channels, and with the current capabilities of Gu Luobei and Eleven Studios, it is impossible to do it. Therefore, what Gu Luobei can hold in his hands is only the copyright!

No matter to whom the talent show Fang Jin is voted for, Gu Luobei must hold the copyright of the show firmly in his hands. As for the advertising rights, players' priority signing rights, and peripheral copyrights, they can all be released, not the key issue.

However, Gu Luobei has no way of knowing whether Ximeng Fowler and Ximeng's office Will have come up with this plan, so time is money, and we can only negotiate later if we hold the intellectual property rights of this plan first. Otherwise, these ideas are all in vain.

The problem mentioned in the radio program was temporarily put aside by Gu Luobei. After all, this is not something that can be solved in a short time. It is wiser to write the plan of the talent show first!

Back at home, it took Gu Luobei only two days to write the whole plan. For him, who has been writing projects for a long time, it is really not a difficult task. It only took a few hours to write down the entire competition system. That's it. The key point is to clearly write down the background, conditions for success, special charm, and possible effects of the talent show. Only when these key points are clear can customers be persuaded to pay for the program, and it is possible to temporarily I don't know if it belongs to Gu Luobei's copyright.

The result of two days of sleeplessness, that is, the ten U-papers for the thin hairpin, is not light: But who should this plan be voted for? Is it the Warner Records that has recently made a relationship with Gu Luobei, or is it Fremantle Media according to the historical track? Put aside the obvious distance problem, Warner Records is in New York, and Fremantle Media has only been established for four months, and there is no branch in New York. Either send it to Germany, or go directly to Bertelsmann's New York branch. company, but this is obviously not the criterion for deciding xìng. Do other measurements.

As we all know, Warner Music is a subsidiary of Time Warner, and another subsidiary of Time Warner, Warner Bros. Entertainment, is one of the eight major film companies in the world. Not only that, Warner Bros. is also a first-class TV production company in the United States. The American drama "Friends (Six People, which was popular throughout the 1990s, was produced by Warner Bros. Warner Bros. certainly doesn't have any problems making a TV show.

But the problem is, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Gu Luobei has only had a very good cooperation with Warner Records, not to mention that businessmen always put their interests first, even if Li... Kelleher is tempted by this draft plan, he may not be able to convince him Warner Bros. took over. Even if Warner Bros. took over, after passing through the middleman of Lee… Kelleher, how much profit would be lost, and a fight at the negotiating table would be needed again.

After careful consideration, Gu Luobei consulted Teddy...Bell's opinion. After all, Teddy...Bell still has more professional knowledge in the business field. Comparing the pros and cons of Warner Records and Fremantle Media, Teddy... Bell still gave his own professional opinion.

The plan was sent to Warner Records first, and if there was no response after 24 hours, it was sent to Fremantle Media, which was considered to have taken care of the good friendship with Warner Records last time.

After making the decision, Gu Luobei called Li... Kelleher's telephone number, and after briefly explaining the situation, he sent the plan in the form of an email. Twenty-four hours later, Gu Luobei sent the plan to the email address on the VV website of the Fremantle media agency.

Next, is to wait for the results! @.
