The next day, fifteen minutes before the agreed time, Gu Xiao and Chu An arrived at Cherry TV’s premises. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎
After knowing who they were, the receptionist took the initiative to step forward and lead the two of them to the floor where the Cherry TV station director was. When the Cherry TV station director’s secretary saw the two of them, he hurriedly walked over and led them to the reception room.
“Please wait for a moment. Our station director will be here soon,” the secretary said with a gentle smile.
Gu Xiao nodded. “Sorry to trouble you.”
Gu Xiao and Chu An sized up the layout of the reception room. After exchanging glances, they sat down on the sofa.
The secretary had just brought hot water for Gu Xiao and Chu An when the station director of Cherry TV walked in. The secretary nodded at the station director and took the initiative to leave, closing the door of the reception room. “Hahaha! I’m sorry, I was in a meeting just now. 1 didn’t expect you to come early. I’m really sorry for neglecting you.” The station director apologized to the two of them sincerely.
Gu Xiao smiled. “Station Director, you must be joking. It was us that came a little early in the first place. It’s not your fault.”
The two of them chatted for a while before Gu Xiao took the initiative to get to the point.
“1 think the station director knows why we’re here.”
The smile on the station director’s face faded a little. “Of course. I’ve heard about the matter regarding copyrights of old films.”
Seeing that the station director had no intention of rejecting her directly, Gu Xiao knew that there was a chance this time.
“Yes, we’re here for the copyright of old films. Cherry IV is huge and has a lot of copyrights for old films. Even if it’s broadcasted repeatedly, there are probably still some remaining. Since that’s the case, why don’t the station director make use of the copyright of these old films for a second time?”
Gu Xiao straightened her back and looked very confident. There was also a hint of temptation in her words, tempting the other party to agree.
The station director had no intention of rejecting. When he heard this, his expression did not change much.
He did not answer Gu Xiao. Instead, he asked again, “I saw the news that the third season of Star Brilliance’s ‘The Vanished Beauty’ is ready. I wonder if Star Brilliance has any plans for the broadcasting rights of the edited version yet?”
When Gu Xiao heard this, she understood what Cherry TV wanted.
However…
“Station director, as you know, ‘The Vanished Beauty’ is a variety show that the Central Television Station thinks highly of. The copyright for the third season has already been sold to the Central Television Station.”
When the station director heard this, his expression changed slightly.
Although he knew that the Central Television Station had also been eyeing The Vanished Beauty, he did not expect them to sign a contract with Star Brilliance so early.
However, during The Return of the Crimson Child, Central Television Station had also given the Star Brilliance a lot of help Then, it was natural that Star Brilliance should repay them like this.
However, when he saw the Central Television Station’s viewership ratings rise sharply because of “The Vanished Beauty” and “The Return of the Crimson Child”, and how “The Return of the Crimson Child” directly broke the ratings record of the past twenty years, he felt a little ruffled.
Of course, most of it was regret.
If he had not decided so early back then, he might have been able to win The Return of the Crimson Child without anyone competing for it.
The station director restrained his expression. “Then, what are the plans for Star Brilliance recently?”
“If you don’t mind, station director, the rerun rights of ‘The Return of the Crimson Child’ can be handed over to Cherry TV. After ‘The Vanished Beauty’, we will also produce another variety show. If you don’t mind, after the broadcast, the copyright of the edited version will also be handed over to Cherry TV.”
The station director’s eyes darkened. “Then, is the variety show later also produced by Star Brilliance alone, with you as the producer, President Gu?”
Gu Xiao smiled. “Although I’m not the producer, the content of the variety show is also based on my ideas. It shouldn’t be too bad.”
Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, the station director was slightly relieved.
After all, as long as it was Gu Xiao’s idea, there was really no previous variety show that had not been popular!
If they could get the Star Brilliance variety show in advance… Cherry TV might be able to reach a higher level!
After the station director figured it out, he smiled even more sincerely at Gu Xiao.
“Then we’ll do as President Gu says. We’ll organize the copyrights of those old films as soon as possible and send them to President Gu.”
Gu Xiao stood up and walked to the station director. She extended her hand. “Happy cooperation.”
The station director laughed heartily.. “Happy cooperation!”
