To be honest, if it weren't for exposure and the like, Wang Xuan would really be unwilling to hand over the script "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" to CCTV.
CCTV fully funded the filming? A buyout price of 1 million to 1.5 million per episode? Haha, these two conditions may be very attractive to some small and medium-sized producers, but they are not even remotely attractive to Wang Xuan.
Tianhai filmed "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" himself and sold it to other TV stations. After deducting various costs, he could still earn three to four million per episode. Wouldn't it be better?
Wang Xuan doesn't even care about the gains and losses, but CCTV actually dislikes his script, tsk tsk...
What makes Wang Xuan even more unhappy is that handing the notebook to CCTV was supposed to be a very private matter, but it turned out to be exposed. Whether intentional or not, this made Wang Xuan feel very uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, Wang Xuan moved to Li Tao's office, intending to ask him for the phone number of the person in charge of CCTV. The purpose is also very simple, to get an explanation, otherwise Wang Xuan would really be unable to swallow this tone.
When Wang Xuan walked to the door of Li Tao's office, he found that Li Tao was on the phone.
"Director Guo, what's going on?" Li Tao asked, with clearly suppressed anger in his words.
At this time Li Tao also saw Wang Xuan.
"Turn on speakerphone!" Wang Xuan whispered. As early as when he heard Li Tao's first words, he knew that Li Tao was calling the person in charge of the CCTV TV Drama Production Center, because that person's surname was Guo, and his name was Guo Liqiang.
This coincided with the purpose of Wang Xuan's trip, so Wang Xuan motioned to Li Tao to go hands-free. He would like to hear what the other party has to say.
Li Tao naturally complied, and soon the other party's voice came over the phone: "Please pay attention to your tone. Are you questioning me?" The tone was full of arrogance, giving people a feeling of superiority.
"I don't dare. I just want to know that our boss Wang submitted the script to you. How did it come out? Shouldn't this be a very private matter?" Li Tao said.
"You ask me this, how do I know? Maybe a staff member accidentally let it slip. Anyway, it's not a big deal." The other party said nonchalantly.
"Isn't it a big deal? This incident has already caused a lot of damage to our Mr. Wang's reputation. Director Guo can't see the rumors on the Internet, right?"
"I saw it, but I can't control it. Netizens are not under my control. If Mr. Li comes to challenge me for this matter, I'm sorry, but I'm a little busy here and may not have time to chat with Mr. Li."
Wang Xuan smiled when he heard this. The other party's words were all perfunctory. He said he was sorry, but he explained the two words "arrogant" and "arrogant" vividly.
Li Tao was a little angry when he heard this, but also helpless. He really didn't dare to offend Guo Liqiang.
It's not that he's afraid of Guo Liqiang, it's just that he can achieve the position of director of CCTV's TV drama production center. Guo Liqiang must have a back-up. What if he offends Guo Liqiang for a trivial matter, but affects Tianhai?
Wang Xuan motioned for him to come and took the phone from Li Tao.
"It is true that netizens are not under your control, but wasn't the cause of the matter that you said a certain staff member let slip? You can't control netizens, and you can't control your subordinates, right? Or are the staff of your film and television production center just like that? So unorganized and undisciplined?" Wang Xuan fired directly.
Li Tao had scruples, but Wang Xuan didn't. Wang Xuan is just the director of CCTV's TV Drama Production Center, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Do you really think that Wang Xuan has been living in vain for the past two years?
"Who are you? What does it have to do with whether our staff has organizational discipline or not?" Guo Liqiang asked.
Wang Xuan laughed again when he heard this, but Guo Liqiang's words were completely out of place.
Ordinarily, if Guo Liqiang can sit in this position, even if he is a well-connected person, his emotional intelligence will not be so low. When this problem occurs, it is obvious that the other party is arrogant.
"I am Wang Xuan." Wang Xuan said calmly.
"..." Guo Liqiang paused when he heard the words, and immediately changed his tone and said with a smile: "Oh, hello, Teacher Wang Xuan, I'm sorry, I didn't hear your voice just now."
Did you see it? It is obvious that Guo Liqiang knows exactly what kind of words to say to what kind of people. He just didn't take Li Tao seriously. When he met Wang Xuan, his face immediately changed, making Wang Xuan feel sick even through the screen.
"This matter involves me, so does your staff's organizational discipline have anything to do with me?" Wang Xuan had no intention of letting Guo Liqiang off like this.
"About this, I'm sorry, Teacher Wang Xuan, but I failed to discipline my employees. I apologize to you first. When I get back, I will investigate the matter thoroughly and give you an explanation. You see, if this were not the case, the script you handed over would still be the same. Not bad. Although you were ultimately unsuccessful, I can help you apply for a buyout. The buyout price for the selected script is 150,000/episode. How about I help you apply for 120,000/episode? You can also spread the word by then. Yes." Guo Liqiang suggested.
After I finished speaking, I felt a pain in my body. The script that Wang Xuan handed in, 24 episodes, 120,000 per episode, nearly 3 million... 3 million is just gone, can Guo Liqiang not feel pain? Mainly, Guo Liqiang had no intention of filming this TV series. This money is spent to calm people down.
In his opinion, Wang Xuan was holding on to this because he felt embarrassed because his script was not selected by them. Wang Xuan felt aggrieved by the ridicule from netizens, so he came to vent his anger on him.
In this case, he could only spend some money to settle the matter and give Wang Xuan a step down. 120,000/episode, he spent money to settle the matter, and by spreading the word, it gave Wang Xuan a step forward.
There is no way, who let the other party be Wang Xuan? He really couldn't afford to offend Wang Xuan, a great god. Even the director of their production center has to be polite when talking to Wang Xuan.
Guo Liqiang regretted that he was a little too forceful when he spoke to Li Tao just now. If he had been a little softer, the matter might have been over, and there would be no need to spend 3 million to settle the matter.
Wang Xuan was happy when he heard this.
120,000 per episode? Sending beggars away!
Let alone 120,000 yuan per episode, even if it costs 500,000 yuan per episode, it is impossible for Wang Xuan to sell the script of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".
"No need. If you don't like my script, I'll just film it myself. I will film it after I produce it. But... if I accidentally bump into your schedule, you probably won't think too much about it, right? ?" Wang Xuan said.
"How could that happen? Teacher Wang Xuan is just doing it casually."
"Okay, then I won't disturb Director Guo. Goodbye." Wang Xuan said and hung up the phone.
Li Tao saw this and asked hurriedly: "Brother Xuan, you are not planning to compete with CCTV, are you?"
"I have this plan." Wang Xuan nodded.
"Don't be impulsive, that's CCTV. Winning or losing won't be good for us at Tianhai," Li Tao said.
"Don't worry, I know it well. I won't go directly to the ring. The online time may be similar, but I will definitely miss the schedule." Wang Xuan said.
"That's fine." Li Tao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
As long as it is not released at the same time, if the ratings of Tianhai's TV series with the same theme exceed that of CCTV, CCTV will definitely feel uncomfortable, but at least it will not offend CCTV to death.
"The First Clan"
Who made them look down on Wang Xuan's script? The only thing to blame is their own poor vision.
Originally, Wang Xuan was still debating whether to shoot "Dragon" or "Sword of Immortal". Now he no longer has to worry about it. He will shoot "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" first because he really couldn't swallow this breath.
So next he was busy making the storyboard for "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".
On the other side, Guo Liqiang sneered after Wang Xuan hung up the phone.
Floating, floating!
Wang Xuan is really floating! Does this mean you plan to fight them in the ring? I really don’t know whether to live or die.
Shaking his head, Guo Liqiang didn't take Wang Xuan's words to heart at all. Not to mention that he himself felt that Xingkong's script "Special Forces" was better than the "I Am a Special Forces" submitted by Wang Xuan. The ratings of CCTV alone, and it was CCTV's set, were far from comparable to the ratings of local satellite TVs. of.
It would be good if the local satellite TV's daily ratings could maintain a rating of 0.7, while the daily ratings of CCTV are above 1.6. The two are not in the same order of magnitude, so how can they be compared?
It would be fine if Wang Xuan knew the current affairs, but if he didn't, he might have to learn a lesson.
