Chapter 468: Reconciliation
In fact, Bai Renzong also noticed the signal of "reconciliation" that Wang Bei mentioned.
When D station lifted his current limit before, Bai Renzong realized that D station might want to reconcile with him. He still remembered that the popularity of D station food matches fell into a low point in the third season.
Perhaps at that time, Station D felt that it could not hold on anymore, so it wanted to resolve the conflict with Bai Renzong.
However, Billy Chen should have finally convinced the executives of D station to give him another chance to launch "Food and Fight Season 4" to turn the tide.
The previous episodes did have a good effect, but after the Maowu platform dug up the black material for those people, this program once again entered the same dead end.
When the situation fell into this scene again, Station D finally made up its mind.
However, although Bai Renzong knew that Station D wanted to reconcile, he didn't know why Station D wanted to reconcile.
It was not until the next day that the Maowu platform contacted him and said that Station D wanted to purchase the broadcast rights of "Ode to Food and Joy" that Bai Renzong knew the purpose of Station D wanted to reconcile.
Although the Maowu platform can also watch videos after the live broadcast, as a live broadcast platform, the video viewing experience is naturally not as good as a professional barrage website like D station.
What's more, the popularity of this show is too high, and any website wants to come and take advantage of it.
However, the copyright is in the hands of Bai Renzong. Even if the Maowu platform wants to be sold, Bai Renzong must agree.
So, the executives of D station came to find Bai Renzong in person this day.
Bai Renzong met the people sent by D station on the Maowu platform. This time they sent a short-haired woman in her thirties with a temperament.
As soon as she saw Bai Renzong, she took the initiative to greet her.
"Hello, I am Li Zhi, the head of the D station operation center." The woman stretched out her hand to Bai Renzong and smiled.
"What happened to whom before? Billy Chen?" Bai Renzong shook hands with her and asked curiously.
This was a bit clear-cut. After Billy Chen took over the food pair, he played a good hand in this way. It was impossible for him to let him go after D Station D.
"Oh, about him, I want to solemnly apologize to you for some of his reckless words and deeds in the past." Li Zhi said seriously, "But his behavior was out of his personal wishes and did not represent the attitude of D station. We at the senior management of D station are not aware of the details of the matter. After learning the details, we immediately dealt with him, fired him and never hired him, so as to express our apology to D station."
The other party explained a little, and Bai Renzong knew what was going on.
If you want to say what Billy Chen did, the senior executives of the station D do not know? That's simply nonsense.
This program was the largest money tree on D station at that time. The profits created by this program alone accounted for 50% of D station's profits at that time. How could the senior executives of D station give full power to Billy Chen for handling without any responsibilities?
What's more, Bai Renzong is also the top up owner of D Station at least, and his popularity is one of the top in the entire station. Without the signing of the senior management of D Station, how dare the review department of D Station limit his flow?
To put it bluntly, D Station was also a little unhappy about Bai Renzong's disobedience at that time, so they let Billy Chen suppress Bai Renzong, which was very good at suppressing Bai Renzong's spirit. Anyway, the IP of "Food and Touch" was in their hands, so they were fearless.
Unexpectedly, Bai Renzong turned around and went to the Maowu platform, creating another better "Ode to Food and Joy".
However, D Station itself played the good card "Food Touch" so badly that it was a good player, and it made the IP bad in a few months.
So now the senior executives of D station regretted it, so they chose to let Billy Chen be their scapegoat and bear all the consequences, while the senior executives of D station pushed the blame completely.
On the one hand, Hemaowu platform purchased the copyright of "Ode to Food and Joy" and on the other hand, he also expressed his opinion to Bai Renzong.
This time the settlement was successfully made. Bai Renzong may continue to do the next food program on D station. Even if he doesn’t do the food program, he has such an up owner with 20 million fans and the creator of "Ode to Food and Joy", which can still bring considerable popularity to the website.
After all, no one will be unable to get over money.
Of course, Bai Renzong knew this very well. It would be impossible to say that he had no complaints about the senior executives of D Station.
The IP he worked hard to create, D station finally came to kill the donkey. Afterwards, he opened a new series and expanded the new IP. D station was still jealous and limited the stream of his videos to vent his anger.
Now that an executive is fired, I want to put the blame completely?
"Hi, there is no need." Bai Renzong smiled, "After all, if it weren't for Manager Chen, I wouldn't have thought of the new ideas in "Ode to Food and Joy". Although those were all the ones I originally planned to use in "Gourmet and Joy",... Just like that sentence, God will also open a window for you while closing a door for you, right?"
"Really." Fan Shiwei was also fanning the flames and sarcastic. "I want to thank this Manager Chen on behalf of the Cat House Platform for giving up such an outstanding talent. Of course, this may be God's will."
As he said that, Fan Shiwei turned to Bai Renzong: "Actually, we have already had the intention to cooperate with Lao Bai, but we didn't think about how to launch this program in the form of live broadcast. But at that time, Lao Bai took the initiative to come to us and then studied how to use live broadcast to better show the charm of food. So... Dada, "Ode to Food and Joy" was born!"
Fan Shiwei held Li Zhi's hand and shook it hard: "Thank you very much to this Manager Chen. With this program, the market value of our cathouse platform has almost doubled! Please be sure to convey my gratitude to him!"
This made Li Zhi's face darker, but she still kept a smile: "Congratulations to the Maowu platform for getting to the next level. Since that's the case, I hope you can hand over the video broadcasting rights of "Ode to Food and Joy" to our station. Many anchors on your platform will also save live videos on our website. I believe that the cooperation between our two parties will definitely create a brighter future, and we have many solutions to cooperate."
"Ah, this." Fan Shiwei's smile suddenly became old, "We have the final say. The copyright is in the hands of Lao Bai. At most, I can only give you a few good words, and it will be decided by Lao Bai in the end."
"Oh, this one." Bai Renzong smiled, "Oh, after all, he is an old boss, let's sell it."
To be honest, Bai Renzong was indeed quite dissatisfied with the senior management of Station D, but he felt that it was a bit despicable to vent his anger on a weak woman like Li Zhi like now, and it was not her fault. D. asked Station D to come over clearly to make her benevolent, and Bai Renzong did not want to do this.
The most important thing is that he started his career in D after all, with his largest fan base there and hundreds of videos he posted. These videos are the common memories of him and Han Jiayi, and he really can't let it go.
Therefore, Bai Renzong was preparing to reconcile not for the D station, but for his fans and Han Jiayi.
But reconciliation is reconciliation, which does not mean that he will easily overturn this account with D station.
"However, this copyright fee..." Bai Renzong turned to Fan Shiwei and frowned, "I don't know much about this, so the copyright fee is up to your Maowu platform, right? Give D station a 'reasonable' price."
Behind this "reasonable" is actually "compensation". During this period of time, he had to make up for the copyright fee for D station to make up for it, and he could be sure that the Maowu platform would kill D station.
After reaching a settlement with D Station, Bai Renzong was really relieved. His opposition with D Station was actually a situation of losing both sides, and all this was because some idiots wanted to take the ability to lay the golden eggs... for themselves.
In the end, D Station spent 20 million to buy the broadcast rights. The Maowu platform will broadcast live on Saturday night, while D Zhan will play "Ode to Food and Joy" in the form of a video on Sunday night to replace the previous "Gourmet Touch".
Although this fee is not low, the popularity of this show is definitely worth the cost.
However, because "Ode to Food and Joy" was still preparing for the food carnival this week, there was no program, so the D station contacted Bai Renzong and hoped that he would make a guest appearance in "Food and Joy Season 4".
Bai Renzong knew that this was the information that D Station wanted to disclose to users that "the two parties have settled".
"Are you sure?" Bai Renzong replied on the phone, "I won't read it according to the manuscript."
"It's okay." Li Zhi smiled over there, "Just tell the truth. Anyway, this is also the last episode of this show. Let everyone learn about their real cooking skills."
"Then I'm not polite." Bai Renzong suddenly became a little excited.
To be honest, since he started to perform Ode to Joy, he has not made any criticism for a long time. After all, all the chefs who come here are too excellent and there is nothing to criticize.
However, he believed that when facing these eight handsome men and beautiful women, there must be a lot to say.
"You really want to participate in "Food Touch"?" Han Jiayi frowned.
"Yes, it's just a cameo, about ten minutes to play time." Bai Renzong nodded and said, "I haven't squirted for a long time... I haven't criticized others, and my mouth is a little itchy. Didn't the audience say it? Lao Bai's style has changed recently."
"I can't go with you..." Han Jiayi muttered aggrievedly, "I also want to study the dishes for next week."
"It's okay, Xiaobei and I will go there together, film the show in the morning, and come back in the evening." Bai Renzong comforted.
"Then I will not see my husband one day..." Han Jiayi hugged his waist and hummed.
