After the three of them joked about this matter in the car for a while, Su Yan asked Teacher Huang why he came together.
Huang Xiaochu has a really good temper: "I happen to have nothing to do today. I heard that Lao Hu is coming to pick you up. I have nothing to do anyway, so by the way, I watched all of Director Su's program last night. I laughed so much."
Already."
"What do you think?" Su Yan was concerned about this.
The other party should have already considered it and started talking about it directly.
"The creativity is good, especially in "Star! Foodie". The link setting is very clever and there are plenty of laughs." Teacher Huang paused and continued: "However, the shortcomings are also obvious. Audiences of fast food programs are prone to fatigue, but
I didn’t expect that you only published a few issues and then immediately revised it.”
Lao Hu chatted next to him: "He is so awesome. He sold the copyright to his own people, created "New! Refrigerator" and took off directly from the spot."
"Well, I also watched Refrigerator. It's a good show. It's completely different in depth and suitable for the whole family to watch together. But the ratings seem to be a bit exaggerated."
Su Yan gave a thumbs up: "Teacher Huang can clearly see that this is mainly due to Lao Hu. As a big star, it is very easy to attract the ratings of a show, especially since he rarely participates in variety shows. Everyone is curious.
The effect will come naturally, and I will be satisfied if I can get a third of it later.”
Hu Shuai was very proud on the side. Su Yan didn't want to see it, so he took a small pillow and pretended to throw it away, asking the other party to shout, "Is this how you treat your benefactor?"
Su Yan spat at him: "What kind of benefactor are you?"
Huang Xiaochu saw the two of them having fun: "Have you known each other for a long time?"
Lao Hu looked disgusted: "We only met him for the first time during the last recording of the show, but this person is shameless and has been entangled. There is nothing we can do about it."
Ignoring Hu Shuai's antics, Su Yan took out the copy from his bag and handed it over.
He didn't expect the other party to be so anxious, but Huang Lei took it over and started looking at it.
Hu Shuai naturally lowered his voice and chatted with Su Yan.
The whole copy was not long, and after taking a rough look at it for more than ten minutes, Huang Lei was not in a hurry to express his opinion. He was thinking about it, and the laughter of the two people could be heard from time to time in his ears.
It seems that their relationship is really good. Hu Shuai is a role model in the entertainment industry. He ranks among the top three in favorability. To be regarded as a friend by him is really not an easy thing for this director, especially in such a short period of time.
"Director Su." Huang Lei smiled: "I've finished watching it, but it seems completely different from your previous creativity. It's not an orthodox comedy variety show. I want to hear your thoughts."
Su Yan turned around and faced Huang Lei.
"Yes, when today's audiences talk about variety shows, in addition to traditional programs such as cross talk sketches, they also invite celebrities to do interviews and play games."
Hu Shuai and Teacher Huang nodded at the same time.
"In my opinion, variety shows are just like the literal meaning, comprehensive art. It is inclusive of everything. As long as it can make people feel happy physically and mentally, it does not necessarily need to make people laugh out loud to be called a variety show.
I call this form a ‘slow variety show’. It does not require special game sessions or tricks, but it still has the charm of allowing viewers to fall into it.”
In fact, what Su Yan admires the most is PD Luo Yingshi. His slow variety shows have really become classics, such as "Three Meals at a Time" and "Fantasy Travel". They don't deliberately make jokes, and the actors are not comedians, but they just make people laugh.
People can't stop, and Douban has a score of over 9.5.
Now, this is the first time that Hu Shuai and Hu Shuai have heard the term "slow variety show", and they both commented on it carefully.
"Modern people generally lead a fast-paced life, which can be said to be very hard. Can we create a program that allows celebrities to show their most natural state in a relatively relaxed environment?
I don’t deliberately set up scenes, but add more life-like scenes, so I think the effect will not be bad.”
Huang Lei thought for a while: "But your current program doesn't seem to fully reflect what you want?"
Su Yan nodded: "This is actually a combination of both. First of all, the editing must be one meal after another, but the various things shown in the middle are what the slow variety show wants to promote."
Hu Ge slapped him: "You mean to use Teacher Huang as an experiment?"
Su Yan rolled her eyes at him: "You have to eat one bite at a time. I'm still in the exploratory stage, but Teacher Huang's reputation will definitely be good if he participates in this show."
Huang Lei's eyes twitched twice, and when he said word-of-mouth, he suddenly thought of "Midnight Diner", which was so criticized on the Internet.
"Teacher Huang, I have studied some of your previous programs. From various perspectives, they are the most suitable for us, so I would like to formally invite you here."
This time and space is different from the original one. Mr. Huang's programs such as "Where's Dad?" and "The Challenge" no longer exist, but "Canteen" with a bad reputation is still like that, and now it's a little embarrassing.
Although big names have no shortage of resources, they cherish their feathers and are more cautious in choosing TV series.
That's why Su Yan took the initiative to propose at this time that Huang Lei would judge the quality himself. Even if it was not satisfactory, it would not cause too much negative effects, and it would also ensure exposure. It could be said that there would be no harm to him.
Seeing that the other party did not refuse immediately, Su Yan struck while the iron was hot.
"As for the remuneration, we will implement it at the highest rate. The shooting cycle will take about three months. The actual shooting is expected to be about one month. The program team can accommodate your schedule."
Seeing that Huang Lei didn't say anything for a while, he was thinking deeply, and Lao Hu came out to smooth things over.
"Ah Yan, don't be impatient. Even if Mr. Huang agrees, he has to talk to his agent and the company. He certainly can't agree to you right away."
Su Yan nodded, but he still felt a little regretful that he could not get the other party's verbal agreement.
The three of them chatted about some lighthearted topics, and as the vehicle continued to drive, they gradually entered the city.
"Teacher Huang, will you go home soon?" Lao Hu asked.
"It's okay. I asked for leave from my family. It doesn't matter if I don't come back today." Huang Lei was a little excited.
"That's OK, I'll ask someone to book more rooms." Hu Shuai picked up the phone.
"Is your trip over?"
"I have a cover shoot tomorrow afternoon, and I'll go back to Shanghai the day after tomorrow."
"Then there's no need to get a room. It's good to stay with you young people. It makes me feel more energetic."
Everyone in the entertainment industry knows that Huang Lei and Lao Hu have a good relationship.
When Lao Hu had a car accident, he was giving lectures in Baodao. It was his wife who notified him immediately, and she burst into tears on the spot.
Once a close friend of mine passed away due to illness, and Feng Mai stopped singing since then.
I heard that something happened to Hu Shuai, but I couldn't help him. I couldn't even rush to his side immediately. I felt very guilty.
Finally, nothing happened, and I felt relieved.
The letter written to Hu Shuai moved many people.
Especially the last paragraph, although dull, reveals the true feelings.
(I remember one time Hu Ge asked me if I still remember someone calling my name in the courtyard of the Shanghai Theater Academy one year. I recalled it and it seems that I did. That time I went to Shanghai to see the scenery and visited the Shanghai Theater Academy campus by the way.
I walked downstairs to the teaching building, and someone opened the window and shouted, "Hello, Mr. Huang!" Hu Ge said, the student who called you was me. I laughed and said that I still regret that I didn't remember clearly which window I poked my head out of.
