After Wang Xuan returned to the company, he started editing "Shaolin Temple" to see if it could be released in time for the Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival comes relatively early this year. It will be on February 3rd. There are only 2 months left, so time is quite tight. Because what Wang Xuan has to do is not just editing. After the editing is completed, it must be submitted for review, and it must be reviewed before the Spring Festival.
One more thing, seeing that half of the semester has passed, Wang Xuan will have to go to Yanjing Conservatory of Music to give two classes to the students in a while. Last semester, he let go of the Yanjing Conservatory of Music for a whole semester, and there was no way he could escape this semester.
Otherwise it wouldn’t make sense.
Besides, he still has to report to the National Song and Dance Ensemble.
Isn't he now the chief composer of the national team? In fact, he is a member of the National Song and Dance Ensemble. Seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, Wang Xuan needs to go over for a meeting to discuss the details of the Spring Festival Gala.
Of course, the Spring Festival Gala is the responsibility of the Spring Festival Gala program team and is not the work of the song and dance troupe. When Wang Xuan and the others discussed the details of the Spring Festival Gala, they actually wanted to contact the members of the singing and dancing troupe in the past to see if they could come up with one or two songs suitable for the Spring Festival Gala and help the members of the singing and dancing troupe attend the Spring Festival Gala.
As the chief composer of the song and dance troupe, Wang Xuan is actually obliged to help compose music during major festivals. It just so happened that "Shaolin Temple" also had an interlude called "Shepherd's Song" that needed to be sung by a member of the national team.
Anyway, Wang Xuan will be busy next.
Fortunately, Tianhai now has Zhu Xu and Li Tao, so Wang Xuan doesn't need to worry about management. He also had the foresight to invite Gu Jiahui into Tianhai, so Wang Xuan didn't need to worry about composing.
Gu Jiahui has a very strong composing ability. Although he is not as mass-produced as Wang Xuan, if he really wants to compose, it is not a problem to come up with a high-quality song in a month. In November last year, the songs of the .Y group and Zhang Yaxin were composed by Gu Jiahui.
In December, while Wang Xuan was filming "Shaolin Temple", Gu Jiahui tailor-made a song for both the .Y group and Du Chengfei, asking them to participate in the new song list in January next year.
This is how December ends.
The War of the Gods has come to an end, and "Someone Like Me" has taken the lead, with 92 million downloads by the end of the month. Xiao Huihui successfully had the last laugh and got off to a good start after joining Tianhai.
Xiao Huihui also gained a lot of popularity with this song, with nearly 23 million followers on Weibo.
Yu Hao's "Distant Her" ranked second, with a download volume of 80.85 million.
Xie Lingxiao ranked third. Although the download volume of the new song is not small compared with the previous two songs, it is not low, with 71 million downloads.
Lin Jun ranked fourth and Li Kui ranked fifth. The number of downloads of the two's new songs is also not low, both exceeding 60 million.
Even the number 10 song has 50 million downloads. In other months except the golden months, this number of downloads would at least rank among the top three.
This is Clash of the Titans, and the exposure is truly amazing. This is probably why so many big-name singers have to squeeze in to release songs during the War of the Gods.
The War of the Gods has ended, and a new month has arrived, bringing with it a new year and a new atmosphere.
It’s New Year!
Judging from the new calendar, it has been two years since Wang Xuan came to this world.
In the new year, the New Year's Day party is naturally indispensable.
Many people in Tianhai have received invitations to the New Year's Day party. Lin Zhixiang, Chen Xueqi, Xiao Huihui, Du Chengyi, Zhu Xiaoxiao, Deng Ziqing, Ren Xuanran, Zhang Yaxin...
All were invited.
But it’s similar to the National Day Gala. Those with higher reputations can go to CCTV’s New Year’s Eve Party, while those with lower reputations can only go to the five major TV stations. Oh no, it should be the four major TV stations. Yanjing TV was directly excluded by Tianhai. Who made them embarrass Chen Xueqi last year.
Wang Xuan still remembers this.
Wang Xuan also received invitations. CCTV and the five major TV stations all extended invitations to Wang Xuan, but Wang Xuan chose to decline them all.
Except for the Spring Festival Gala and large-scale National Day parties, such as New Year's Day parties, Wang Xuan will generally only choose to accept them in the future. If you have time, take it; if you can't, decline it politely.
January is another relatively dull month. This month, Wang Xuan was busy editing the movie "Shaolin Temple". After a lot of work, he finally edited the movie "Shaolin Temple" on the 19th. Into pieces.
All that's missing is the theme song and interlude.
After the editing, it was already 9 pm. At this time, except for cleaning, all the staff at Tianhai had already gotten off work. But when Wang Xuan came out of the office, he found that the lights in the screenwriting department were still on. Taking a closer look, I found that several newly recruited ace screenwriters were there, including Li Tao.
Knocked on the door.
The people inside looked up and saw that it was Wang Xuan. They quickly stood up and greeted "Mr. Wang" and "Mr. Wang."
Wang Xuan motioned for everyone to sit down and asked: "It's so late, why haven't you got off work yet? What are you busy with?"
"This..." Several screenwriters were a little embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
"Let me tell you." Li Tao took over the words, "Mr. Wang, CCTV is currently soliciting proposals from outside, and plans to invest in the filming of a military-themed TV series, which will be broadcast on CCTV during prime time."
"Have we received an invitation? How come I didn't know about this?"
"No. CCTV has only issued invitations to large production companies, or first-class or above entertainment companies with relatively large film and television departments. Our Tianhai is now considered a first-class entertainment company, but the film and television department is average, and the screenwriting department is also average. There is no Invitation received.”
"Then you are not working in vain?"
"No. Although CCTV has only sent invitations to some entertainment companies, in principle it does not reject submissions from other people. As long as the script is good enough, it may be selected. So we want to give it a try." Li Tao explained.
Wang Xuan nodded: "How much does CCTV plan to invest?"
"If a script submitted by a pure screenwriter is selected, CCTV can buy out the script for 150,000 yuan/episode, and then they will be responsible for filming. If the script is selected by a large production company or a large entertainment company in the industry, Yes, CCTV can invest 1 million per episode for filming, and then send people over to follow up the entire filming process."
"What happens after the filming is completed? How will the dividends be distributed?" Wang Xuan asked.
"Buyout! As long as the quality is high enough, CCTV can offer a buyout at a price ranging from 1 million to 1.5 million."
Wang Xuan nodded when he heard this.
That’s it! It's not a small gesture.
The advantage of CCTV's investment in filming is that the producer does not need to take any risks. At most, it is a waste of time and energy without losing money. It is a sure-profit deal.
The profit of 1 million to 1.5 million per episode is not high, but it is not low either. It is really okay for producers who do not need to take any risks. The most important thing is to build a reputation.
Is CCTV’s prime-time exposure a joke? Generally speaking, TV dramas that can be shown in CCTV's prime time series are all TV dramas produced by the CCTV TV Drama Production Center and are rarely filmed outside.
TV dramas shot by outside film and television studios can generally only be broadcast on CCTV's 8 TV drama channels.
If the TV series produced can be broadcast on CCTV, once it becomes popular, the producer's reputation in the industry will definitely increase. The price of TV series produced in the future will at least be raised to a higher level.
So Wang Xuan was quite excited.
He has military-themed TV series, and not only does he have them, but he also has several good ones.
For example, "Soldier Assault", "My Commander My Regiment", "I am a Special Forces", "Bright Sword"...
Which of these four movies is not a masterpiece?
"Is there a time limit for submission?" Wang Xuan asked.
"Yes, the deadline is in one week, so we are rushing here." An ace screenwriter took over.
"Do you have any ideas?" Wang Xuan asked.
Everyone in the office shook their heads.
"We have all written scripts before, but after reading each other's, we all thought it was average. Now I want to combine several people's scripts and discuss together to see if we can come up with a decent script." A screenwriter chatted.
"Come on, but it's very late now. Let's go back and rest. Let's discuss it tomorrow." Wang Xuan said.
"Mr. Wang, please go back first. We plan to live in the company, so we must come up with a notebook in the next few days." Someone said.
"It's rare that you have such a heart. I promise you that if your script is good, even if it fails to pass CCTV's review, the company will invest and set up a crew to make it into a TV series." Wang Xuan encouraged, without hurting everyone. of positivity.
"Long live!"
"Long live Mr. Wang!"
When Wang Xuan finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers. Everyone is more motivated.
Wang Xuan smiled, said, "Everyone, go to bed early and don't stay up late" and left the screenwriter's office.
Of course, he also pulled Li Tao out: "Brother Tao, you don't know how to script, why are you joining in the fun?"
"Who said that? I was also a screenwriter before, okay?" Li Tao said.
"Really? Why do I remember that you are from the vocal music department?"
"Can't I take a double major?"
"Okay." Wang Xuan said with a straight face: "It's rare that they have such a heart. Brother Tao, please make arrangements and prepare two lounges and bedding for them in the company for them to sleep."
"I know, I have been prepared for a long time." Li Tao said.
"By the way, how much money does our company still have on its account?" Wang Xuan asked.
"I don't know the specifics, but it should be 1.5 billion. What?" Li Tao said.
"When I came to the company today, I seemed to see that the investment company above us couldn't stand it anymore. Is it renting or selling office buildings?" Wang Xuan asked.
"So you're not going to rent the floor above, are you?"
"I don't want to rent it. I don't do business at a loss. I want to buy it directly."
Li Tao took a breath when he heard this: "If I buy it, it will probably cost about 1.3 billion, right?"
"That's why I asked you how much money is left in the company's accounts."
"I don't know how much money is left in the company's accounts, but it will definitely be enough to buy the floor above us. But after buying it, there may not be much money left in the company's accounts. If I want to invest in something this year, It may be stretched," Li Tao said.
"Don't worry about this. When I first joined Tianhai last year, Tianhai had no money on its books. Now it has more than a billion, right? So you don't have to worry about having no money to do things after buying the office building. If you really need the money then, I will take it. You can just put the money in advance when you get it." Wang Xuan said.
"That's definitely not possible. The public belongs to the public and the private belongs to the private. No matter how rich Brother Xuan is, he can't use personal money to advance the company's money. If we really need money then, we can just go to the bank for a loan."
"Okay." Wang Xuan nodded.
"To be honest, we do need to buy another office building. Now we are all working on the first floor, which seems too crowded." Li Tao said.
In fact, it is not that there is crowding, but that the areas are separated.
The composition department, screenwriting department, program planning department, and artist department are actually not suitable to be mixed with the marketing department. The composition department, screenwriting department, and program planning department need a quiet environment to create.
The artist department is not suitable to be mixed with the general department.
There are also high-level offices, which are actually not suitable to be mixed with ordinary departments.
But now there is only one office floor in Tianhai, so it is difficult not to mingle.
This is the reason why Wang Xuan bought another office building. He wanted to buy it before, but no one was selling it. Now it happened that the company upstairs went bankrupt and the office building was sold, so Wang Xuan was tempted.
"Then tomorrow you and Brother Xu will contact the boss of the company upstairs. If possible, buy the upper floor directly." Wang Xuan said.
"What's the bottom line?"
"You directly make the decision within 1.3 billion. If it exceeds 1.3 billion, you tell me."
"clear."
The next day, Li Tao told Zhu Xu what Wang Xuan meant. After the two discussed some details, they immediately went to contact the boss of the company upstairs.
The company above is indeed bankrupt.
They are an investment company that has invested in two large-scale projects in a row and both failed. To make matters worse, the partner took the money and fled abroad. It is estimated that he will not be able to recover it in a short time.
After the problem was exposed, small shareholders withdrew their capital one after another, and banks came to collect debts. As a last resort, the company's boss Lin Shengcai planned to sell the office building to fill the hole.
This is how it is in the business world. If you are not careful, everything will be lost, and many people will go bankrupt overnight.
So the owner of the company upstairs does intend to sell the office building.
After hearing that Zhu Xu and Li Tao said that Tianhai was interested in purchasing an office building, Lin Sheng warmly received Zhu Xu and Li Tao. Lin Sheng became even more enthusiastic when he heard Zhu Xu say that Tianhai could buy the office building in full.
There are many people who want to buy office buildings, but most others choose to pay in installments, and few can come up with more than a billion in one go, so Lin Sheng postponed the meeting with others and negotiated with Tianhai alone first.
As a member of the upper and lower levels, Lin Sheng knew Tianhai well and knew that Tianhai had this strength.
Naturally, it is impossible for large transactions to produce results in one day. The two parties were in contact for a few days, and you, the lion, opened your mouth. I sat on the ground and paid back the money. After several days of negotiation, we finally negotiated a price acceptable to both parties.
1.26 billion!
After the negotiation results came out and before the deal was concluded, Zhu Xu made a phone call to Wang Xuan. Although Wang Xuan said that they can directly make the decision within 1.3 billion, it is best to report this kind of matter to Wang Xuan to show respect.
Wang Xuan naturally had no objection.
In fact, Wang Xuan's bottom line was not just 1.3 billion, but 1.35 billion. The fact that Zhu and Xu were able to reduce the price to 1.26 billion greatly exceeded Wang Xuan's expectations.
He is indeed his right-hand man!
After getting Wang Xuan's consent, the two parties drafted a transfer contract. After the lawyers of both parties checked that it was correct, they signed and sealed it.
Since then, Tianhai finally has an additional office building.
...
On the other side, while Zhu Xu and Li Tao were negotiating with Lin Sheng, Wang Xuan had been thinking about the CCTV book these days. In his mind, he was thinking about "Soldier Assault", "My Commander My Regiment", "I am a Special Forces Soldier" ", "Bright Sword" and several other books were chosen, and the final one was "I Am a Special Forces Soldier"!
