Shennan City, the earliest coastal city in China that began to develop, is at the forefront of the country in terms of economy and construction, and many giant company headquarters are located here.
Tencent, an Internet giant founded in 1998 and one of the Internet companies with the largest number of users in China, is also developing and growing in this city.
Starting from the instant chat software QQ, it has developed social networking, payment, entertainment, consulting, tools, platforms, and various businesses, and has become a Fortune 500 company with a brand value of up to 500 billion. Compared with him, Qinghe, where Su Yan is located, is
play house.
However, the boss of such a big company, Lao Ma, wanted to see Su Yan.
To be honest, he was really flattered.
I meet a lot of officials, but because I met people like Jiang Shan very early on, I may be used to it.
But Lao Ma is different. To be honest, although he is reborn, if he wants to reach his position, he can only think about it.
After getting off the plane, we took a taxi directly to Tencent Building.
He has been to Shennan once, but he didn't stay too long. It was just for the show, so he was not familiar with it.
When he simply showed up at the front desk carrying a shoulder bag and wearing a hoodie, saying that he had made an appointment with Lao Ma.
The young lady even looked at it with a critical eye.
"Who made an appointment with you?" she opened her notepad and asked.
"I'm not sure about this, please contact my company directly." Su Yan smiled, not unhappy at all.
This is normal. People who meet Lao Ma are probably big shots, so suits and leather shoes are indispensable. If you dress so casually like me, anyone would ask a few questions.
"Are you Su Yan, Director Su?"
After checking the records, the young lady was a little surprised.
"Yes, it's me!" Su Yan showed his big white teeth.
"Mr. Ma is in a meeting now. He should be fine soon. I'll take you up first."
"Sorry to trouble you."
"Um..." The young lady stood up and hesitated for a few seconds, then asked in a low voice: "Director Su, I am your fan, can you help me sign your autograph?"
Thinking what was going on, Su Yan picked up a pen and paper and asked her name. The young lady's name was Lin Qingqing.
"Living with Miss Lin Qingqing, you will have a happy life and all your wishes will come true."
Then sign your name in the lower right corner.
After Lin Qingqing carefully put it in the drawer, she took Su Yan to the elevator.
"Mr. Ma is busy. I will take you to the reception room first. Now take a rest."
"OK!"
"Director Su, have you started filming the second season of Running Man? I've been waiting for a year and I love this show the most."
"Well, we are currently filming intensively. It is expected to be broadcast at the end of June. Please give us your support then."
"Don't worry, my sisters and I are loyal fans."
Soon, he was taken to a small reception room, and after being served a cup of coffee, the young lady said hello and left.
I looked at the time and saw that I had arrived a little early, so I wasn't in a hurry.
As for the purpose of the meeting, Su Yan did not speculate. You can't guess what the rich man thinks.
Just when he was a little bored, the door was opened.
Lao Ma walked in with a person who looked like a secretary, with a big smile on his face, and took the initiative to extend his hand.
"I'm sorry, Director Su, there was an impromptu meeting that delayed me for a while and kept you waiting."
Su Yan stood up and said, "Mr. Ma is joking. I've just arrived. It's a great honor to meet you."
After exchanging a few words, the two of them took their seats respectively.
Only then did Su Yan have the opportunity to take a look at this big boss.
His hair is meticulously combed, he wears glasses, he is full of bookishness, he feels quite easy-going, and he looks much younger than his actual age.
"Director Su, I am a loyal viewer of your program, especially "Three Meals a Day". I have watched almost every episode."
"Thank you, Mr. Ma, for your support. Your company and Qinghe are also in a state of cooperation. If there is an opportunity, you can come and participate if you are willing."
Su Yan originally wanted to be polite, but he didn't expect the other party to be interested.
"Really? Then don't forget to invite me in the second season. Then call another Mr. Ma and go and see it together.
We can't afford your other programs, but this kind of closeness to the countryside is quite interesting, and Teacher Huang Lei is familiar with it, so I think it's a holiday for myself."
This sudden surprise made Su Yan very happy.
"My shows basically have one season every two years, so when invitations are sent out next year, Mr. Ma will definitely reward me."
"Definitely." Lao Ma said with a hearty smile.
Su Yan discovered that the other party was really not a condescending and difficult person to get along with.
"Actually, there is another thing I want to do when I meet with Director Su this time. I want to work with you alone."
Su Yan was confused, cooperation?
For someone like Lao Ma, he shouldn't do it himself. He has a dedicated person in charge, which is too embarrassing.
The other party seemed to notice it too.
"This entertainment video is also an important part of Tencent. It has been a pleasure working with Qinghe in the past two years. Personally, I really want to meet you and see if you are a director who can produce so many excellent programs."
It has three heads and six arms."
Su Yan didn't even dare.
Lao Ma has obviously done his homework.
"Currently, the programs we collaborate with you are all in good development, but after all, this is the TV station's first broadcast.
In the past two years, platforms such as iQiyi and Youku have also produced a lot of highly clicked online variety shows, and Tencent has also been working hard."
Lao Ma smiled, not afraid that Su Yan would know.
"However, a lot of money and time have been spent, but it has not achieved the desired results. As the video platform with the largest traffic, it does not have its own flagship program, which is unreasonable."
Su Yan listened quietly, nodding occasionally and not interrupting.
"When I meet with Director Su this time, I also want to ask for your help in making a program for Tencent. You can mention whatever resources and conditions you want. As long as the program is good, everything will not be a problem."
What Lao Ma said was very domineering and confident.
"When does Mr. Ma want it to be broadcast and in what format?" Su Yan did not rush to express his position.
"The sooner the better. Given the current situation, the TV station's two-year season may be too long. I hope it will be one season a year."
“What about the genre and members of the show?”
"You are an expert on these things and you have the final say. If you need help with coordination, Tencent will help you."
After thinking for a while, Su Yan tried to ask.
"What if the general members are foreigners?"
"It doesn't matter. What I want is the result. Even if you take pictures of pet dogs, as long as there are people watching, there will be no problem." Lao Ma said very calmly.
"Then I understand, but we are currently filming the second season of Running Man, and the planning of the program will take time. It will not start until mid-July at the earliest."
"What type of director Su has already planned?" Lao Ma was looking forward to it.
"Yeah, travel show!"
"Traveling? Isn't it "Grandpas Over Flowers" on Shonan Channel? Can it be surpassed? I remember that the ratings set a record in the past five years, excluding the party."
"Although they are both tourism, the nature is completely different." Su Yan smiled: "I call it the most unorthodox travel program in history."
Seeing that Su Yan was so confident, Lao Ma didn't need to ask any more questions, and they didn't need to worry about the specific details of the cooperation.
After staying with Su Yan for a while, he left in a hurry, and Su Yan declined the offer of staying for a meal and hurried back to the Magic City.
