Chapter 527 The Blame Cannot Be Thrown Away

Okada Juri called Fujiwara Kei as usual to report on the progress of the work.

When I first arrived in Taiwan, I would only report once a week at most to talk about the filming progress and the ratings of the latest episode. But recently, I have reported much more frequently because the recent results are really gratifying. Reported by Juri Okada The purpose of work is mainly to claim credit.

Look, I made another hit drama, and it was still in the Taiwan area. Shui Bo's first overseas mission was successfully completed, and he lived up to his mission!

Now "Meteor Garden" has aired its eighth episode. This drama has a total of more than 20 episodes and is nearly halfway through the broadcast. With the appearance of the senior sister played by Hitomi Deki, it has gained another wave of popularity. The entire series The drama's popularity began to gradually reach its climax.

The ratings of the eighth episode also directly reached 6.3%, which is a result of a super hit drama.

The entire Central Television, and even the entire Taiwan Island, began to hold their breath and began to turn their attention to this drama, wanting to see what terrifying results this drama could achieve.

With the popularity of the TV series, further commercial operations in Taiwan will also begin. For example, F4's business endorsements and the sale of derivatives of this series need to be approved by Kei Fujiwara.

"Recently, there have been a lot of small commodities for sale in Taiwan under the banners of Popular Garden and F4, such as snacks, cultural shirts, stickers, children's toys, etc. These are all sold without authorization. Do we need to pursue these small commodities? What is the responsibility of the merchant?" Okada Juri asked.

"Don't worry. Cross-border lawsuits are not easy to fight. Even if you win, it won't cost much. First, find a local law firm in Taipei that specializes in cultural copyright lawsuits and let them represent you. Don't go to court first. Go to the court first. Let’s negotiate with China Television’s copyright operations department. After all, they are also the copyright holder of this drama, and they will mainly handle the warning claims.”

"Okay...but can't we just leave all these matters to China Television's legal department? Why should we find another lawyer to represent us?"

"Monitor them and protect their own rights and interests. Who knows whether these infringing merchants are the moths created by Zhongshi's own secret authorization, secretly benefiting Sanqi fans, bullying us into not filing cross-border lawsuits? The copyright of "Meteor Garden" is in The local operation can be handed over to them as an agent, and we can even make some concessions in terms of income, but the share of all income must be clearly stated with them in the sun. If we find that CTV has dishonest business practices, we will We will no longer cooperate with them. Anyway, we have all three F4 management contracts. In addition, we will also cooperate with other TV stations in Taiwan."

"Okay, I understand." Juri Okada said, "By the way, many local film distribution companies in Taiwan have also found me recently, hoping to represent the movie "My Sassy Girl"..."

Film distributors in Taiwan are belatedly aware that they are not as sharp and forward-looking as film companies in Hong Kong. When the movie "Confession" became a big hit in Japan, they had no response until it was released and released in Hong Kong, South Korea and other places. , all achieved pretty good box office results, and then they proposed acting as agents belatedly.

Before "My Sassy Girl" was officially released in Japan, film distribution companies from various countries and regions had already come to visit because they had sensed business opportunities. There's no harm in getting the agency first anyway.

And those film distributors who have obtained the agency rights have been so happy to see the popularity of this film in Japan during this period. Thailand has released it quickly. It has been released for three days, and the box office is rising rapidly.

Taiwan's film companies are only now reacting, and they are already slow.

"I will send people to Taiwan to negotiate with them about the movie. You should focus on the TV series first. Also, reiterate to China Television that we hope to complete the follow-up cooperation with Ms. Chai, even if we have to cooperate with other script projects. , and we don’t want to change the docking partner midway.”

"I understand." After hearing this, Okada Juli was also very happy. Because as "Meteor Garden" became more and more popular, some people in China Television began to develop pink eye and began to find fault with Chai Chiling.

For example, three of F4's agency contracts actually fell into the hands of Shuibo Production, and China Television did not get it; for another example, most of the revenue from this drama went to Shuibo Production, not Taiwan CTV, and even the script copyright was firmly held. In the hands of Shui Bo, CTV has no power to subsequently develop and operate scripts.

What does this mean? This shows that this guy Chai Zhiling is cheating, she is in Cao Ying but her heart is in Han, and she has shady activities and transactions with Shuibo Production in Japan! Although she clearly received the salary and benefits provided by China Television, she failed to obtain more benefits for China Television. This is not only due to her lack of work ability, but also her conscience may have been greatly damaged!

In fact, anyone with a little experience knows that this guy is messing around. It’s not that Chai Chiling didn’t fight for the interests of China Television, but the problem was that when the filming of this drama started, China Television didn’t pay attention to this drama at all!

The filming budget given was pitifully small. The missing part was the money paid by Shuibo Production and the investment brought in by borrowing the name Shuibo Production.

Shuibo Production provides money, people, effort, and scripts, providing almost everything that is crucial for a drama. The biggest contribution China Television made to this drama is to provide a broadcast platform and a reasonable time period. So isn’t it natural for Shuibo Production to get more profits?

Moreover, it is obvious to everyone how much CTV despised this project at the beginning. They did not even bother to strive for greater benefits. Many people just sat back and waited for this drama to be released with the mentality of watching a joke. He was also given a harsh cut-off line and was waiting to kill the show at any time.

Even after the ratings for the first episode came out, Taiwan Central Television’s publicity department was still further cutting the show’s publicity budget. It was like being raised like a wild child! Chai Zhiling became angry when she mentioned this matter.

The reason why CTV received less of this drama is because the company didn’t pay attention to it? The reason why I don't pay attention to it is because you guys are causing trouble, but now you are putting the blame on my head?

But those talented people don't care about this. I don't understand what you are saying. Isn't it because the company doesn't pay attention to this drama because you don't have enough highlights to make the company pay attention? Maybe you did it on purpose, just to numb our hearing and hearing.

Anyway, judging from the results, Shuibao earns more and CTV earns less, so you must have a problem.

"I propose that Producer Chai make an internal review and urgently change the producer, and make a request to Shuibo Production to modify the terms of the contract and win back all F4's management contracts!"

Someone proposed at the meeting and won unanimous approval from everyone, regardless of whether the request was feasible or not.

Chai Zhiling was so angry that her nose was almost crooked. Although Dong Changjie, the boss of CTV, did not approve the proposal, looking at the despicable faces of these shameless people, Chai Zhiling was still so angry that her blood flowed backwards and she felt that her aunt was about to get clotted. .

In particular, these guys continue to accuse Chai Chiling of being a "traitor" and "eating the inside and outside", which makes her fall into a vortex of self-proof. The TV series is not over yet, and the filming tasks are still heavy, which makes Chai Chiling mentally and physically exhausted.

And what Juri Okada said when negotiating with some senior executives of the company made Chai Zhiling's eyes darken.

"Producer Shiba has excellent work ability and is also a person trusted by our Mizuha Productions and President Fujiwara. President Fujiwara means that we have no plans to cooperate with other producers for the time being and do not want to change partners."

Chai Zhiling slapped herself on the forehead, and Okada actually said this... Doesn't this further confirm that she has a close relationship with Shuibo Productions? The blame can't be lifted!
