Chapter 1127： accompanying reporter

Of course Dunn is helping.

However, this does not mean that he is willing to pay back the money to lose the interests of New Universal.

The Chinese side does not do a good job in intellectual property protection. Once the pirated mainland version of "One Bamboo of the Golden Mountain" spreads overseas, it will inevitably affect the income of the US version of "One Bamboo of the Golden Mountain".

There are two solutions.

First, CCTV increased its money.

Second, copyright should be distributed reasonably. After the successful cooperation of the project, the mainland copyrights of the mainland version and the US version of "One Bamboo Dingjinshan" belong to CCTV; the overseas copyrights belong to New Universal.

Even if there is a real organization in the future that prefers the plot of the mainland version of "One Bamboo Ding Jinshan", they can only negotiate with New Universal.

As for the DVD version...you can only use a larger scale to attract users. After all, although the mainland version of "One Bamboo Ding Jinshan" has a richer plot, the content is very healthy, and the pornographic and violent parts are missing.

On top of that, there's the contractual hassle.

Most TV actor contracts in the United States are paid on a per-episode basis.

For example, Jet Li, if he takes on the filming of "One Bamboo Dinosaur Mountain", the salary for each episode will be between ten thousand dollars.

Here comes a new problem.

This is the price of an episode of the US version!

How about the mainland version?

CCTV has not decided whether to edit 20 episodes or 30 episodes of the TV series.

After they get the shooting material, they will confirm it.

But no matter what, there will always be contract disputes in the mainland version of "One Bamboo Ding Jinshan". In order to resolve the dispute, the actor contract must be marked with "except for the mainland version".

An additional condition attached by the producer gave the actor and agent a chance to renegotiate.

Chinese actors who are not American unions may not be a problem.

But American actors will definitely ask for more remuneration to make up for the loss of profits from more episodes in the mainland version.

This in turn further increases budget planning.

In short, Director Zhao put forward the idea of ​​"unified shooting and separate editing", CCTV must increase investment and take more money!

Otherwise, the troubles will not be solved at all.

Mr. Han believes that it is very important to make "One Bamboo Ding Jinshan" a separate mainland version. The concept of "unified shooting and separate editing" will also open a new chapter for the film and television cooperation between China and the United States in the future, which is of epoch-making historical significance.

"Hero" is deeply loved by European and American fans because Harvey Weinstein re-cut the American version.

In order to succeed in China, "One Bamboo Ding Jinshan" must also be transformed with Chinese characteristics, and the mainland version will be launched!

Director Zhao said that large investment needs to be approved by the CCTV committee, especially the implementation of the strategy of "unified shooting and individual editing", which needs to be approved by the party committee.

However, he also said that "One Bamboo Ding Jinshan" is of great significance to CCTV, and he is confident to promote this cooperation. And the investment amount is not too low!

"One Bamboo Ding Jinshan" is not just a TV drama production.

If it was just a co-production of a TV series, he wouldn't be able to apply for so much money.

However, "One Bamboo Ding Jinshan" also has three other meanings.

First, it can enhance China's international influence, which can be applied to the Propaganda Department for international propaganda funds.

Second, CCTV talents can be cultivated, and talent training funds can be applied for on CCTV.

Third, you can go to Hollywood to study, and you can apply for more advanced overseas study funds from Radio and Television.

Add up all the money, and it's a lot.

Director Zhao vowed: "Boss Tang, I can tell you the truth, this drama... CCTV's investment will never be less than 10 million US dollars!"

Tang En shook his head and said disapprovingly: "Director Zhao, you just put forward so many conditions. If the investment amount is less than 15 million US dollars, it really does not reflect the sincerity of CCTV's cooperation."

Director Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, "The Standing Committee will be held in the afternoon. Wait for the evening... at the Wangfu Hotel in the evening, let's discuss it later!"

Tang En didn't want to drink big wine, so he quickly postponed: "No, I really don't have time. I will go to Modu in the afternoon and visit the Ninetowns Company, and I will have a meeting with the city leaders of Modu tomorrow."

Last year, "World of Warcraft" was won by The Ninetowns Game Company with a four-year agency fee of 13 million US dollars, and the operation right of the mainland region was won by 73%.

After limited testing and public testing, the official commercial operation was launched last week.

The results are very gratifying!

In just one week, the mainland has become the second largest market for World of Warcraft in the world after North America.

Because there are too many players, The Ninetowns has a series of problems in the operation. Blizzard specially sent an American team to help, and Dunn will also take advantage of the situation.

Mainly it's an attitude.

Let the city government of Modu see that New Universal's investment in Modu is not only the super project Universal Studios, but also the world's first online game "World of Warcraft".

Director Zhao failed to persuade him for a while, so he said he would stay with Tang En for lunch.

Dunn naturally agreed.

There was still some time before noon, and the office began to chat again and again.

The two beautiful hostess played their role again, smiling and enthusiastic.

After chatting and chatting, the topic turned a little bit, and he started talking about yellow jokes.

Director Zhao is handy and has deep skills.

Mr. Han blurted out, and the exit came in chapters.

What Huang Duanzi said is called a walk.

Not to mention the two leaders, the two beautiful hosts are not bad at all.

The hostess, Meng Shengnan, cleared her throat and her face was blushing. She seemed to enjoy the feeling of being focused by three powerful men in the office, and said with a tender smile, "Then let me say one, it's not a good one. Don't laugh at me. Ahem, there was a rich woman who went to the duck. In order to achieve the desired effect, she smeared the cooling oil in the condom. After a while... After the cloud and rain, the duck sighed, "Damn, the rich people are different, they still contain clothes inside." With the air conditioner, I almost froze to death, but fortunately the room is big!"

Immediately, everyone laughed.

Dunn was a little surprised.

Oh my god, the scale of this piece is not small!

At most, Zhao Taichang just said some harmless jokes like "five women and ten men bathe together, and they are colorful."

This Meng beauty is directly on the next three roads.

Fierce enough!

Qing Tian's pretty face was also a little crimson, she couldn't help but ask, "What is a duck?"

She burst into laughter again.

Tang En said with a smile, "Quan Jude."

Qing Tian pursed her lips and glanced at him, showing a little shyness, and nodded lightly, "Oh".

Everyone was once again amused by her "pure" appearance.

At this time, another beautiful host, Li Hong, was not to be outdone, and took the initiative to speak up: "A driver solicited passengers and asked them where they were going. The guest replied: The end of life. The driver was puzzled and asked again. The guest said: Fuck, the crematorium does not know The driver was displeased and scolded: "Thank you for going to the end of your life. If you go to the source of your life, where do you have to go?"

It's the next three lanes again, and it's still very fierce!

Compared with the restraint of Mr. Han and Mr. Zhao Taichang's dirty jokes, these two beautiful hosts are really open to each other.

Tang En made up for the knife again and asked in surprise, "Beauty Li, where is the source of this life?"

Unexpectedly, host Li was so pungent that he immediately folded his legs tightly, covered his hands, and said in a panic, "Mr. Walker, I don't have an air conditioner!"

The loudest laughter broke out in the office.

Even the sweetness that has been forbearing can't be put on anymore. "Puchi" smiled, both ashamed and embarrassed, and felt that their jokes were really over the line.

I felt a little sadness for them again. The upright and sunny hostess on TV didn't seem to be at all glamorous.

At this time, it was Dunn's turn. He smiled and said, "I really don't know how to tell jokes. Once, when I went to the White House, Bush Jr. told me a joke. I thought it was very interesting. You can listen to it too."

Everyone turned serious.

Did President Bush tell you a joke?

Enough cow!

Just listened to Dunn: "It is said that when Brezhnev, the top leader of the Soviet Union, went to Poland for a friendly visit, the secretary arranged for an artist to paint the visit and call it "Brezhnev in Poland". The subject of the painting is too big, how can I paint it? The painter was very embarrassed, and sure enough, after the painting was over, the secretary was furious and wanted to arrest him. Because there was only one bed in the painting, and there was a man and a woman without clothes on the bed rolling the sheets The secretary asked: What are you painting? The painter replied: Brezhnev is in Poland. The secretary pointed at the painting angrily: Who is the woman? The painter said: The woman is Brezhnev's wife. The secretary Question: What about the man? The painter said: It’s you. The secretary is all angry: What about Comrade Brezhnev? The painter replied: You told me, Brezhnev is in Poland!”

The level of this joke is much higher.

After laughing, I can still satirize the historical reflection of the Soviet Union and the absurd high-level politics The content of which makes Director Zhao and Mr. Han feel a little like a man on their backs.

Director Zhao coughed lightly, stopped joking, and said solemnly: "Boss Tang, it is not easy for you to come to China once. Can CCTV conduct an exclusive interview with you so that we can better understand your business ideas and The concept of cooperation with China.”

Dunn frowned slightly.

This is not convenient.

Director Zhao smiled and said, "Actually, it's not troublesome, you can record it as you go. We will arrange for someone to follow you throughout your itinerary in China. No video or audio recording will be done, and you can organize it in words later."

This is possible.

Director Zhao added: "Little Li and Xiaomeng are all our excellent young hosts. They have strong abilities, understand international relations, and can speak English. In my opinion, let them be in charge of this work. Are you two okay?"

Meng Shengnan immediately said, "I can."

Li Hong also smiled and said, "I can do it too. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the richest man in the world."

Tang En blinked, how could he still not understand?

The so-called exclusive interview is just a name, and accompanying is the point.

Sure enough, Director Zhao then said: "Boss Tang is unfamiliar with life here, especially in the afternoon to go to the magic capital for research. Xiao Li, Xiao Meng, your tasks are very difficult, not only do you have to be accompanying reporters We also need to take care of Boss Tang’s meals and accommodation. Boss Tang is our CCTV partner, so don’t be sloppy!”
