It's 2 o'clock in the morning on Sunday, and Fei Yanren is sitting at home laughing in front of the computer.
What is on the screen is the latest issue of "Infinite Challenge", the host's auction special.
This is very interesting. The eight members lined up and turned into goods. There was a professional auctioneer to preside over it.
The guests present were amazing, nearly 50 of them, from movies, TV series, other variety shows, and radio stations. They were all TV-related directors or writers.
What is going on is to purchase the membership for 24 hours, do whatever you want, and the final proceeds will be donated to charity.
This had just begun, and it already caused bursts of laughter.
There are two groups that attracted the attention of the members. The first one is from the assistant director of the movie "Gourmet" that is currently being filmed.
Among the members, only Huang Lei, Chen Chichi and Xiaozhu Yangdi have actually made movies. The other half have never even made a cameo.
When the film crew came over, everyone was very interested, ogling and playing emotional cards, and everyone wanted to join in.
The other one is the program "The Most Beautiful Minjiang" that everyone avoids. It is launched by Minjiang Satellite TV's own TV station, and it was originally nothing.
However, when the director of the show introduced himself at the beginning, he patted his chest and said that he must take away someone today, no matter who it is.
The theme of the recording is fishing at sea.
If you set out at 3 o'clock in the morning to catch specific fish in the open sea, seasickness is inevitable.
The four-hour sailing time and three hours of homework made the members feel dizzy just thinking about it.
Of course, other TV stations also participated.
But as the show unfolded, Xiao Sa was tricked out of nowhere!
The first auction item turned out to be a slap on his forehead.
Forget it, when he heard that the starting price was one yuan, Teacher Sa almost shed tears.
As an old player who has watched all the Chinese variety shows, Fei Yanren was still so amused that he couldn't help himself.
This number was forgotten. When the price was called, the staff did not hold back and joined in.
In the end, it was snapped by a makeup artist for a high price of 55 yuan.
Teacher Huang excitedly pulled the young lady up and asked why she worked so hard to get it.
"Because Mr. Sa doesn't care about his makeup at all. He has to reapply his makeup several times during a recording session, and his face tends to be oily, which is difficult to do."
The whole audience laughed, and Xiao Sa was very embarrassed.
After a sound of "Pa!", he fell to the ground and the official auction began.
Upon seeing this, Fei Yanren said that he was fascinated and had no idea about the passage of time.
In the end, everyone belongs to something, and the specific manifestation will be in the next issue, and then they stretch themselves out with unfinished content.
After closing the screen, the flashing QQ profile picture in the lower right corner of the computer made him instantly feel sorry.
"Brother? Boss? Are you ready?"
"Where are the people?" (poke)
"Oh my god, boss, aren't you asleep?"
"Are you there? Are you here?"
...
A total of nearly thirty messages scrolled upwards.
Fei Yanren quickly replied.
"I'm really sorry. I was fascinated by the show. I will suppress it and send it to you immediately."
"...Let's get a 360p first, otherwise it will be too late!"
"ok."
Feiyan skillfully opened the software on the desktop and started operating it, feeling extremely apologetic.
The person who contacted him via QQ just now is an overseas student from South Korea and one of his employees.
He himself is the webmaster of "Phoenix Elf".
Speaking of this website, Feiyanren founded it ten years ago when I was in college. The original intention at that time was to learn English. Someone suggested watching American TV series.
So from then on, I gathered a few like-minded classmates and started on a path that I didn't expect would eventually become a career.
After several years of changes, the main business has also begun to change. American TV series are still being produced, but more often than not, some domestic TV series and variety shows have begun to be exported abroad.
Of course, these are all genuine and were purchased with permission or money.
Especially in the past two years, Chinese variety shows have developed rapidly, with many exciting programs appearing, and "Phoenix Elf" naturally has to keep up.
Especially the program directed by Su Yan, he paid attention to it almost as soon as it came out, and then contacted Minjiang Satellite TV. After paying a lot of money, he also obtained the reprint rights in many countries.
But then the person disappeared for no apparent reason, which made him feel very regretful.
When Su Yan appeared again and announced that he was going to do a new show, he rushed directly to Qinghe Company and met with him.
Unexpectedly, after hearing the purpose of the visit, the other party agreed to let it go, and even offered money to support him.
As a businessman, Fei Yanren naturally understands what the other party means, which is to use "Phoenix Elf" to increase the popularity of the program overseas. In the future, whether it is selling copyrights or other things, it will definitely be more convenient.
In business, he is also accepting advertisements, but Su Yan's willingness to pay money is nothing more than his strong confidence in the program and his preparation for the future.
The two parties also signed a contract at that time, and one of the clauses stated that Qinghe would give the tape to him as soon as possible after the program was broadcast.
In the past two years, Feiyanren has also insisted on receiving the films sent by the other party.
Facts have also proved that Su Yan is right. They have contributed a lot to the fact that the copyright of Running Man can be sold so quickly. After all, the click-through rate of each episode is very high.
The normal process was originally like this. Around ten o'clock, Qinghe would contact him and deliver the high-definition film source.
After checking it myself and making sure there are no problems, I compressed it into versions with different definitions and sent them to my subordinates.
Because of the time difference, each place basically has its own habits.
For example, the friend I contacted just now is in Korea. Normally, the file transfer should be completed around 12 o'clock to ensure that all subtitles can be completed in the morning.
But I happened to have something to do here today, so I was delayed for a while, and then I should have fast forwarded to see the problem, but ended up getting lost in it, causing a lot of trouble to the other party.
After all, it was agreed upon when recruiting people at the beginning, and it would be best to set the time just like on TV.
People who watch this way also know that at 8 o'clock in the morning on Sunday, a certain program is updated to give the greatest convenience to viewers and fans.
Almost everyone is able to persevere very well.
As a result, today because of my mistake, I caused trouble to the other party, and I feel very guilty. The remedy is to upload an image with a lower quality first, so that regardless of the speed given to him, it is best to upload it faster in the future.
Replenish the essence.
Seeing that the progress bar was 100% complete, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry, I'm going to have a hard night!"
Feiyanren is typing on QQ.
"Okay, got it, let's do this first."
(Thanks to the corpse ghost and the lovely Xiaoba for the reward)
