Chapter 590 - 590 577 The Central Bank's Olive Branch

590: Chapter 577: The Central Bank’s Olive Branch 590: Chapter 577: The Central Bank’s Olive Branch Yue Feng had never dealt with official media organizations before and lacked experience in this area.

After hearing the caller’s intentions over the phone, he did not immediately respond but instead said he needed to consider it.

The other party was a bit surprised by Yue Feng’s reaction but expressed willingness to wait.

After hanging up the phone, Yue Feng shared the content of the call with Doll.

Doll looked at Yue Feng with disbelief in her eyes, “You refused?

Are you kidding me?

That’s CCTV for crying out loud!”

Yue Feng scratched his head, “I didn’t refuse, I just said I needed to think it over and give them an answer!”

“What’s there to think about, of course you should do it!

You could even do it for free!

If our filmed pieces are broadcast on CCTV, then you’ll be famous, the big kind of famous!

Even if it’s just a few shots of you getting some airtime, we’d make a killing!” Doll said, very excitedly.

“Oh!

Then let’s give it to them!

But it seems a bit inappropriate to say I need to consider it one second and then call back the next second to agree, don’t you think?

Maybe I should call back in the afternoon?” Yue Feng scratched his head, a bit slow on the uptake.

“No need, just do as I say!

Here’s what we’ll do…”

Doll fully leveraged her wit in this area, arranged the talking points Yue Feng would need for communicating with the other party, and even seriously took notes on paper for him!

On the other end, Xin Kai, the program director who had hit a soft spot with Yue Feng, was baffled after hanging up the phone.

After all, he carried the prestigious badge of a CCTV program team member.

Usually, when he followed the director’s instructions and talked to people within the industry about collaborations, his presence was felt quite strongly—people were always courteous.

Many went through great lengths to get in contact with him, hoping for a chance to collaborate.

However, when it came to Yue Feng, who had recently risen to fame on the internet, he listened to the proposition but didn’t refuse outright.

Instead, he said he needed to consider it before giving an answer, and he didn’t even ask about payment or the exact details of the collaboration.

While Xin Kai was staring blankly at the video clips on his phone, his phone rang again, displaying Yue Feng’s number.

Xin Kai quickly answered the call.

“Hello?

Mr.

Yue, have you made up your mind?” Xin Kai asked, his tone a bit rigid.

Yue Feng: “Ah, sorry about that, I was a bit distracted by something else just now and didn’t have the chance to ask you about the details of our cooperation.

Could you please tell me what your program team generally requires as well as the length of the footage you need!”

“Well, let me put it this way.

I discovered your account through the short video platform, as well as the content of your sketches!

The quality of both the professional videography and the content is very high.

As far as I know, you have a full recording of a live broadcast, and our program team would like to obtain your genuine exclusive authorization!

After some post-production editing, we want to include some exciting clips from it in our program for broadcast on the television station!”

When Yue Feng heard the words “genuine exclusive authorization,” he glanced at Doll who had predicted this outcome even before the phone call, and what the other side said matched almost exactly.

“I have plenty of recordings; which segment are you interested in?”

Xin Kai: “Which segment?

Do you have many?

I’ve only seen the recent sketch about catching the giant bucktooth in the Amazon.

I haven’t seen anything else yet.”

“There are many segments!

You might have found out that I’m an online live streamer.

Right now, I broadcast fishing live all over the world!

There’s actually a lot of footage and scenes of big fish!”

Hearing this, Xin Kai was dumbfounded once more.

Actually, Xin Kai didn’t initially contact Yue Feng for a long-term collaboration.

He just needed Amazon fishing footage for a current episode he was working on and happened to stumble upon Yue Feng’s short video content.

That’s what prompted him to reach out for permission to use the footage in exchange for a fee.

But now hearing Yue Feng say he had many segments of similar quality material, if that was true, it would be an entirely different level of opportunity.

Despite Xin Kai’s polished appearance when contacting others, his actual situation wasn’t as good as outsiders perceived.

He had been in the program team for many years, following in his seniors’ footsteps, never achieving breakout success.

His dream was to independently plan and produce his own projects, becoming an excellent producer.

But while dreams can be grand, reality is harsh.

With little influence in his unit and no budget approval from the station, he could only helplessly scramble about, working as an assistant on various projects to gain experience.

“How about you send me the full footage of catching the giant bucktooth so I can take a look first?

Use our station’s official work email, you don’t have to worry about me stealing your footage!”

“Okay!”

“****@163.com”

“Alright, I’ll send it right over, please check it!”

It didn’t take long for Xin Kai to receive the complete footage from Yue Feng.

But after watching it only for a while, Xin Kai was completely engrossed.

Live broadcasting is actually a very good form of video and image sharing, with a strong sense of participation from the audience.

However, it has professional requirements for camera angles, use of lighting, and framing.

Photography and videography are professional disciplines.

Some close-ups, in particular, are hard to capture and demand high-end equipment and skills from the photographers.

An ordinary person without professional training definitely would struggle to get it right.

Yet, in the footage shot by Yue Feng that Xin Kai was watching, he saw none of these problems.

Although it was a live broadcast, the camera did not stay in a fixed focus mode, but magically and intelligently executed various professional maneuvers on some key shots.

When it was time for a close-up, it did close-ups; when it needed a wide angle, it showed the full scene.

The two-plus-hour periphery of fishing, the whole process of catching the fish in the raw footage, was impeccable to Xin Kai’s professional eye.

The entire duration had no dull moments.

This got Xin Kai excited.

With no budget from the station and difficulties in staffing, equipment, and various aspects, Yue Feng’s emergence completely solved these weaknesses.

Let’s put it this way, with over two hours of footage, if Xin Kai were to edit it personally according to his understanding, he could create at least twenty minutes or even half an hour of useful content for a program with a duration of thirty to forty minutes.

That’s practically half an episode’s worth of material!

Those not in the industry might not see the significance of these numbers, since it might seem easy from a viewer’s perspective.

But for industry insiders, it’s an incredibly impressive figure.

You should know that for some documentary content, a single regular episode requires hundreds of hours of raw footage, which is then cut and edited before it can finally be completed, approved, and released.
