Chapter 684: The troubles of happiness?
The competitors are already taking action, so Wu Xiaotian and the others can certainly not be indifferent.
However, while they started to promote, they also contacted several domestic TV stations in China.
Now, what Wu Xiaotian is worried about is not the promotional matters, but about the actions of China Media.
Several of them have discussed that the most likely threat to Mingcheng is that China Media uses the connections they have established with major TV stations over the years and the massive resources their company has to make major TV stations boycott "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and not give TV series schedules, or rather not give good schedules.
Therefore, they decided last night that they would work hard in this area early this morning, and to reach cooperation with several TV stations before Yu Mingcheng of China Media takes action.
As for the choice of TV stations, Wu Xiaotian’s suggestion is that the first choice is a few larger TV stations, such as Beijing TV, Guangnan TV, Nanhu TV, etc.
Because these TV stations have a large number of viewers and a wide audience, as long as the TV series is played on it, it will inevitably spread rapidly in China.
In addition, Wu Xiaotian also emphasized the issue of playback time.
The prime time is 7:30 pm or 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm. This is also the best choice for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Of course, there are some other details on the negotiations.
However, Wu Xiaotian’s bottom line is that the above two points must be met.
As for the Hujiang TV station where Wu Xiaotian is now, it is actually one of the TV stations they are considering, but because Wu Xiaotian's location is relatively sensitive, I won't talk about it for the time being.
After lunch, I took a nap.
In the afternoon, news came out between Zhou Feng and Han Chen, and it was good news.
Zhou Feng called Wu Xiaotian and said with a smile: "Xiaotian, there is hope, there is hope!"
When Wu Xiaotian heard Zhou Feng's excitement, he knew that the matter they had negotiated with the TV station had already come to an end.
So he asked with a smile, "Has the agreement been made?"
Zhou Feng said happily: "It's almost the same. The person I'm looking for is the person we have been working with in Huaying Film and Television and Guangnan TV. That person is the deputy director of their TV station's film purchasing department. As soon as I talked to him about the name of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he immediately became interested."
"He said that the TV series on their TV station during the Spring Festival holiday has now reached its final stage and it just so happens that one TV series can be followed."
"He has also heard of our TV series. It is adapted from your novel and directed by Han Chen. Therefore, he believes that this is definitely of quality assurance. He said that he should report to the senior management of the TV station to see the purchase price."
Wu Xiaotian was also very happy after hearing this.
Guangnan TV, he is not unfamiliar with it.
When he was at Anyuan TV, he had angrily argued with Guangnan TV several times because of the production of "Where Are We Going, Dad?", and the two sides were not very happy. Unexpectedly, they didn't mind at all. They knew that this TV series was adapted from his novel, and they were also willing to introduce it.
Moreover, what was introduced this time was in their prime time. If Guangnan TV did it, then the threat from China Media would be declared to be a failure.
"Not bad, very capable, I didn't see it!" Wu Xiaotian said jokingly.
Zhou Feng smiled and said, "That's right, don't you see who your brother is?"
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
Not long after, Han Chen also called.
"Xiaotian, the negotiation is completed." Han Chen on the other end of the phone said frankly as soon as he answered.
"Which company?" Wu Xiaotian asked.
Because Han Chen is in charge of Beijing TV and Nanhu TV, he doesn't know which company Han Chen handles.
"Nanhu TV, they are very interested in our TV series and said that if it is appropriate, they should sign the contract as soon as possible." Han Chen said cheerfully there.
After getting the family done, he finally let go of his worries.
Early this morning, he saw the overwhelming news promotion on "The Legend of Wulin" and was a little confused at the time.
Although Wu Xiaotian comforted him in the end, he was still a little worried, so his heart was always hanging.
Now, his hanging heart finally let go.
"Where is the Beijing TV station?" Wu Xiaotian asked.
Originally, Wu Xiaotian planned to communicate with Beijing TV.
After all, before coming to Hujiang TV, he had a public service advertising cooperation with Beijing TV, and the two sides were happy to cooperate. He planned to introduce an acquaintance in the advertising department of Beijing TV and have a good talk with their film purchasing department.
However, Han Chen volunteered to communicate with Beijing TV.
Because Han Chen's previous TV series was played on Beijing TV, he had dealt with them.
Wu Xiaotian thought that when he was looking for Beijing TV, he had to go around through an acquaintance in the advertising department. If Han Chen went to communicate, he could communicate directly with their film buying department.
Now, he heard that Han Chen had dealt with Nanhu TV and didn't say Beijing TV, so it was a little strange.
"Ha ha……"
Han Chen laughed and said, "That's right. Their Beijing TV station has just launched a TV series recently and will not be finished in a while."
"Ah, there's nothing I can do." Wu Xiaotian nodded.
"Yes, when I said the name of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the person in charge of their side asked me specifically, saying that it was this TV series and whether it was adapted from your novel. After I answered for sure, he apologized repeatedly, saying that if we were willing to wait, we would definitely arrange ours later after the TV series."
Speaking of this, Han Chen sighed and said, "Xiaotian, I think you have acquaintances everywhere!"
Wu Xiaotian laughed a few times.
He didn't know who the person in charge of the film shopping department was there, but he seemed to know him and would have time to learn about it another day.
After hanging up the phone again, Wu Xiaotian was suddenly stunned.
Zhou Feng said before that Guangnan TV station has basically no problem, but now Han Chen said that he has done Nanhu TV station and that both of these TV stations have been done, so which one should I choose?
"Director Wu, Master Li asked you to go over."
I was having a headache, and someone suddenly shouted outside.
"OK!"
Wu Xiaotian replied, let go of his worries for the time being, get up and go out.
Soon, Wu Xiaotian arrived at Li Min's office and knocked on the door and went in.
Li Min was sitting in her seat looking at the documents. When she saw Wu Xiaotian coming in, she looked up and smiled, and asked Wu Xiaotian to sit down first. She also put down the documents in her hand and sat on the sofa next to her.
"Xiaotian, I just finished my holiday and I'm not used to going to work!" Li Min asked with a smile.
Wu Xiaotian nodded and said, "It's okay, I've completely entered the working state. If anything happens, Sister Li will just give instructions."
He thought Li Min had to ask him to explain what job he had to do.
Li Min looked at Wu Xiaotian and burst into laughter, "Okay, I just started working now, and there is not so much work for you to do. Now, the most important thing for you is to make the "If You Are the One" program well and record a few more episodes."
"Well, I'll do this in the morning. I guess it will be able to record it in two days." Wu Xiaotian replied.
"That's good."
Li Min paused, looked at Wu Xiaotian again, and said with a smile: "Do you have anything else to do next to this matter recently?"
"What else?" Wu Xiaotian was stunned. He didn't know what Li Min was talking about.
"Haha..." Li Min saw Wu Xiaotian's stunned look and stopped beating around the bush, saying, "You have forgotten what you did last night?"
"Oh!" Wu Xiaotian suddenly realized.
He finally understood that Li Min was referring to him at the press conference of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
"Sister Li, you are talking about this. Yesterday, the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" held a press conference. Because this TV series was adapted from my novel, I went there for a while." Wu Xiaotian explained.
Finally, he asked again: "Sister Li, how did you know?"
"You attended the press conference yesterday, and today there was a lot of news, so of course I knew it." Li Min said.
"Um!"
Li Min asked again: "The TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been filmed?"
"Yes, the filming was done a few days ago. Yesterday, I held a press conference and said that the TV series was officially ready to be released, and the time for promotion is the time for promotion." Wu Xiaotian did not hide it from Li Min and said clearly.
"Well, this is your novel. It's the first time it's adapted into a TV series. I guess you'll have to work hard for a while."
Wu Xiaotian shook his head and said with a smile: "What am I busy with? Now I am just a hand-off manager."
"Really?" Li Min didn't believe that Wu Xiaotian could get up free?
"Okay, I'll help a little bit in it." Wu Xiaotian said helplessly.
"I still want to lie to me, but I don't know you, a brat!" Li Min smiled with her lips. After that, she continued, "Xiaotian, I came to you this time, mainly to tell you about your TV series."
"What?" Wu Xiaotian was surprised.
"I know this is your first novel adapted into a TV series, which is very important to you. So, after I saw this news in the morning, I immediately communicated with the head of the TV station's film purchasing department, and asked about the broadcast of the TV station's TV series. I found that our Hujiang TV is in prime time next week, and the TV series that is now broadcast just happened to be broadcast, so I recommended your TV series to the film purchasing department, and they agreed. Therefore, if you are willing, go and meet with the head of the TV station's film purchasing department and discuss specific arrangements with him."
"If there is no problem, you will sign the contract. If there are some details that cannot be agreed upon, as long as it is not too much, I will help you apply to the director. After all, you are now from our Hujiang TV station. If your works are released, if our own TV station does not help you, who else can you help?"
Li Min slowly said her thoughts.
Wu Xiaotian was a little dazed when he heard this.
This is considered...
Are the troubles of happiness?
This was what he thought in his heart.
Chapter completed!
