Chapter 339 Conditions and Requirements
Wang Lei also knew very well that in addition to being an excellent variety showman, Chu Shi was also a qualified "variety show minister". If he was just a talented child, it would be impossible to run the variety show production department of Ice World Entertainment Company, and it would be impossible to have absolute control over the variety show production department, with all kinds of skills and vision.
In this case, if you claim to be the savior and give Chu Shi the variety show to her like a reward, it will be counterproductive. You can simply make it clear and you will not go around the corner. "Minister Chu, we are wise people don't say secret words. Putting aside the seniors in the variety show, we will talk about your new variety show as our juniors. What is going on, so you are willing to hand over this work to me to direct? I think since you agree to my invitation, it means you must have thoughts long ago?"
"This is natural! If I hadn't had the idea of handing over this variety show to director Wang Lei, I wouldn't have appeared here."
Chu Shi nodded slightly, his face as always full of respect, "I am a rookie in the variety show industry. When facing an old senior like you, I should be respectful, humble, and open the door to convenience for you. However, at the same time, I am also the director of the Variety Production Department of Ice World Entertainment Company. Every move should be responsible for all the employees of the company, so please don't blame me."
"This is natural! I can still distinguish between public or private or private."
Wang Lei has always had a good reputation in the entertainment industry. This is why Chu Shi is willing to work with her. She doesn’t say much nonsense and said bluntly, “If you want me to hand over this work to you as a director, there are three conditions. If you are willing, then there is no doubt that Chu Shi will present this work with both hands. If you don’t want to... I am very sorry. Although I have lost a top variety show director like you, I also believe that handing it to a variety show director who is barely able to pass. Just remembering this script by me alone is enough to make it into an extremely popular variety show.”
"you say."
Wang Lei remained calm on the surface, but she agreed with Chu Shi's words in her heart. If it weren't for this reason, she wouldn't have been so passive and let Chu Shi offer a offer here.
"First point! During the shooting of this variety show, you must strictly follow the script process! To be precise, this requirement is not for you. Xie Miao, Song Yu and Jiang Beichuan have such requirements! Of course, the independent creative ability of the three of them is slightly worse, which is different from you. I believe that with your strength, even if you make some changes, it will only make the quality of the variety show works better and not worse. Therefore, I allow you to make slight changes during the shooting of the variety show, but the general direction must not be changed!"
"This...is no problem!"
Wang Lei instinctively wanted to refuse. After all, during the decades of working as a variety show director, Wang Lei has always demanded extremely high freedom. It is indeed a bit difficult to have a requirement for filming the script according to the requirements of the script! But Wang Lei thought about it carefully, at least there was no problem in the script I just saw. Everything was very perfect and was very attractive to her. Even if she was asked to modify it, she would probably not find any place to change. In this way, this requirement was not too harsh, and Wang Lei also expressed that she could accept it.
"Thank you for your concessions. I hereby assure you that although I will serve as one of the seven regular hosts of this variety show, I will not point fingers at you during the filming of the show, but will only join as a regular host."
Chu Shi nodded slightly, and then said, "Second point, if this variety show is successful, in the future, when the second season, the third season and even more, you must strictly abide by the first requirement. At the same time, in terms of director's pay, you must also maintain the same market price as the market price. Isn't this a problem?"
"There is no problem with the director's pay, and I can even assure you here that when the subsequent series of the show is filmed, I can give you a 20% discount on my average pay basis, and there is no problem with these things outside."
Wang Lei decided that this variety show would be very popular. At that time, countless people would be eager to be the director of this show. At this time, they would naturally sell Chu Shi to the best of their status as a variety show director. But then, Wang Lei frowned slightly, "But... it is a bit inappropriate to ask me to still follow the first item when directing the subsequent series of the show!"
"I had read the script in the first season of the show and determined that the quality of this show was extremely high and the overall direction was not to be changed. Then I promised not to make major changes to the show during the shooting process. However, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems in subsequent dramas. If there is a problem, I will make some changes during the shooting process, what should I say?"
"This can be completely solved at the beginning of the script writing! If this program achieves good results as you and I expected, then in the subsequent series creation process, I will invite you to be the first screenwriter of the program and lead the entire screenwriter team to create, and everything is led by you. So there is no problem, right? Of course, when you make changes to the script, I will take time to supervise it myself. If there is any inappropriateness, I will also propose it in time and modify it. I hope that at that time you will not be dissatisfied with me."
"Absolutely not!"
Wang Lei quickly waved her hand and said, "From the age and qualifications, I am your senior, but I am just a variety show director. In terms of variety show screenwriters, you are definitely a top-notch player in China, and you have been much better than me. There is no doubt about this. If I am the leader of the screenwriter team to control the general direction, you will take time to supervise and guide it, there will be no problem! Even if you are willing, you will be able to create the subsequent scripts, and I am even more happy to see them, and there will be no complaints."
"This is probably unrealistic!"
Chu Shi smiled bitterly. As time goes by, his career will grow bigger and bigger, and his excellent variety shows will become more and more. At that time, it will be feasible to provide overall supervision and guidance. There is no situation at all. I have put too much time and energy into the sequel of a variety show.
Wang Lei also understood this point, and the two talked for a few words and completely finalized Chu Shi's second requirement.
"As for this third point... it is indeed a bit difficult. Even if Teacher Wang Lei, you don't agree, I will never say anything."
Speaking the last point, a look of embarrassment flashed across Chu Shi's face, "If our variety show can be successful and directly defeated Zhou Shuhai's new variety show "Jedi", won the 2010 variety show, and made a series of works, I hope Mr. Wang Lei can consider it and join our Ice World Entertainment Company! Of course, it is not like Xie Miao and Song Yu who completely join the company to obey the order. Apart from the shooting of this variety show, the other time has been mastered by you. What do you think?"
Chu Shi was quite nervous when he said this. After all, like Wang Lei, the top 16 variety showmen in China either created their own teams and studios, or worked with a top entertainment company for a long time. No one of them had completely joined a company and rashly proposed that there was a high possibility of being rejected.
But Chu Shi was also very eager for Wang Lei to agree!
If Wang Lei succeeds, he will gain extraordinary fame and his status in the entire variety show industry will also rise sharply. In the future, when recruiting outstanding talents, under the banner of Wang Lei, he will also attract many of Wang Lei’s former friends and disciples, and through Wang Lei, he will help the Ice World Entertainment Company to train his team. This is definitely beneficial and harmless.
But Chu Shi was really unsure of this request. He used himself to judge others. If he stood from Wang Lei's perspective, he would not have agreed to this powerless request.
Unexpectedly, Wang Lei did not refuse, but kept silent and thought quietly. Chu Shi, who wanted to soften and even took back this request, could only quietly wait for Wang Lei's final result.
After a while, Wang Lei's voice slowly came out, "If your new variety show can defeat Zhou Shuhai's "Jedi", win the 2010 annual variety show championship, make a series of variety shows, and I have always served as the leader of the program screenwriter team, ensure the quality of the program, and always let me serve as the director, and win the throne of the king of variety shows in one fell swoop, I am willing to join your Ice World Entertainment Company!"
Is this agreed?
Listening to Wang Lei's words, Chu Shi was also a little surprised, quite surprised by her happy decision.
Although Wang Lei offered many conditions, strictly speaking, these are not considered conditions at all, at least in Chu Shi's eyes, they are not considered matters at all!
First of all, just like Xie Miao and Song Yu, as long as she is loyal to Chu Shi and works under her command, Chu Shi will never remove their position as the director because of some small profits, let alone a veteran top director like Wang Lei? As long as Wang Lei doesn't make trouble, the director of the new variety show and the leader of the screenwriter team will always be her. There is no doubt about this.
Secondly, Chu Shi's new variety show was born early in order to defeat Zhou Shuhai, help him win the throne of the 2010 annual variety show championship, and achieve three consecutive championships in the variety show industry, and take this opportunity to win the title of "King of Variety Shows" in one fell swoop. If it fails, Chu Shi would not consider introducing a veteran top variety show artist like Wang Lei, but instead directly choose to hide his strength and develop in secret.
Wang Lei’s requirements for such conditions may seem slightly higher in Wang Lei’s own opinion, but in Chu Shi’s eyes, these conditions cannot be called conditions at all!
"So……"
Thinking of this, Chu Shi laughed and stretched out his right hand, holding it tightly with Wang Lei, "I wish us a happy cooperation!" r1152
