It was almost noon and I was woken up by Hu Shuai's manager. He had activities in the afternoon.
When the poor stylist saw the dark circles under his eyes, she was so anxious that she almost cried. The manager wanted to say a few words, but didn't dare. Su Yan overheard him complaining in the corner.
Teacher Huang Lei left in the morning because he had something to do and left a note on the table.
Looking at my phone, I saw a lot of missed calls, but luckily it was in silent mode.
Sister Hong had already sent her ticket information. Seeing how little time was left, she said goodbye to Hu Shuai and declined the offer to send her a car.
When we arrived at the airport, we bought some specialties and prepared to take them back.
When I got off the plane and turned on my mobile phone, I was still sighing that things had been going smoothly recently, but something unexpected happened.
Wang Jianguo's call came in immediately: "Director Su, have you arrived in Rongcheng? I asked Xiao Zhou to drive to pick you up. You should be waiting outside. I sent you my number on WeChat."
Hearing that Lao Wang was a little anxious, he stepped faster.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"The situation of yesterday's recording appeared on the Internet, and several candid photos of the scene were released. It can be confirmed that they were taken in a studio, and there was also some information about the eliminated contestants." Lao Wang was very worried. He was happy for a while because of the spoilers, but he would be embarrassed if he kept revealing the spoilers.
ah.
Su Yan comforted him not to panic and wait until he gets back.
In the car, I first looked at the Weibo post that was sent to me. It should have been taken while hiding in a corner, and I could see that it was in a hurry and was rather blurry. Then, the eliminated contestant did not name him by name, but only said that he was an actor or something else.
.
The person driving the car was the assistant director, who was familiar with the situation and told Su Yan what happened.
"It should have been posted on Weibo last night. Director Wang immediately informed all the participants not to express their opinions. The on-site surveillance was also checked, but nothing was found. The judgment should be the personal behavior of the audience.
Now, many media have directly interviewed the person involved, but they have not responded to their greetings in advance.
What Director Wang means is to find a way to quickly curb the spread of the disease."
Su Yan nodded. It was okay and not as bad as he thought. It would be troublesome if there were full-face photos of the contestants.
As soon as I arrived at the TV station, I first went to the office of "The Masked Singer". The conference room was filled with smoke, and several of the main creators looked bad.
Seeing Su Yan come in was like seeing a savior.
Wang Jianguo blamed himself: "It's all my fault. I originally thought the security was enough, but it still failed at the critical moment."
On the way, Su Yan thought of a countermeasure.
"Don't worry, Director Wang. Sit down first. The matter is not as serious as you think. Instead, it may be an opportunity for program promotion."
As soon as he spoke, everyone looked at him, waiting for the follow-up.
"New programs need to be exposed in various ways. Director Wang, you will probably have to divide this into several steps." Su Yan stood up and went to the small blackboard to write.
"First of all, no matter whether the contestants are exposed in the end or not, they are absolutely not allowed to release any statement about the program before the end. Everyone should be aware of this and do a good job.
As for the lists of rumors on the Internet, you don’t have to deal with them. Just hire some trolls, put some stills appropriately, make the effect vague, and randomly select some celebrities and say they are contestants to muddy the waters.
The Internet is inherently fictitious and real. This way, not only will everyone be confused, but it will also increase the attention of the program.
It is recommended to cut 2 promotional videos.
One is about investment in the program, including high-end equipment and so on.
The second thing is that the program is authentic. I believe I don’t need to say this. Just pay attention to the few unveiling moments and the reactions of the audience as they can be the focus of publicity.
Originally, the program was going to be broadcast next Saturday, so we were in a hurry for promotion. Now that we have this opportunity, we might as well take advantage of it."
Su Yan finally concluded.
Everyone who originally thought the sky was going to fall took a breath.
In fact, they are also concerned and confused. With many years of experience in the industry, how could they not have imagined that the authorities are just confused. After they figured it out, they knew exactly what to do.
The person in charge of the meeting once again became Wang Jianguo, and detailed instructions were passed down one by one.
Seeing that nothing happened, Su Yan said hello and left first.
Before my butt was hot from sitting in my seat, I was told to go to the director's office.
Jiang Shan, who was answering the phone, saw him and gestured with his hand to sit down first.
"How about going back and forth in such a hurry? Are you tired?" Director Jiang looked very happy.
"It's okay. I just drank some wine with Teacher Huang and Hu Shuai yesterday, so I went to bed very late." Su Yan replied.
"Okay, okay, Teacher Huang, please confirm that there is no problem." This is the focus of Jiang Shan's concern.
As the leader of a TV station, I am not afraid of spending money, but I am afraid that the money will be spent without value and without any return.
He clearly understands Huang Lei's status in the industry, not to mention that now that the "salary limit order" has been issued, it would be unthinkable to invite a star of this level to do 12 episodes of the show before.
Su Yan nodded affirmatively: "We are already in contact with the other party's economic company. You should hurry up and sign for help."
Jiang Shan laughed: "I've signed it a long time ago. I'm just waiting for you to give me a confirmation answer before allocating funds."
If other PDs saw Su Yan acting like this, they would probably be jealous and angry. Not to mention the huge sums of money, they would also have to spend some money and go through various procedures slowly.
"I see that the shooting is expected to be completed by the end of October in your plan. Can it be done earlier?"
Su Yan thought for a while: "Actually, the actual shooting time is not long. It is mainly preparation work and requires manpower. Although there are more people in the team now, there is still a refrigerator to shoot.
And it has to be coordinated with Teacher Huang’s schedule. As you know, celebrities are generally difficult to control."
Jiang Shan pondered for a while.
"I'll find the manpower. You can try to make it as early as possible. We can make it in two months and start it in early October. How about it?"
Su Yan didn't understand, so he shouldn't be so anxious.
"It has been decided from above that a TV festival will be held in December," Jiang Shan explained: "It is expected to be announced soon. This is for all satellite TV stations across the country.
Selection of outstanding TV programs and radio broadcasts is, to put it bluntly, an assessment of the independent operating capabilities of each satellite TV station, excluding the impact of the purchase of TV series."
Each satellite TV's own program will automatically enter the selection to compete for the final most popular program award."
As soon as Su Yan heard it, he understood that this was actually the Performing Arts Awards.
"You launched your new program too late, so you didn't have time to develop word-of-mouth." Jiang Shan would say this, and he was naturally very optimistic about it.
"I understand." Su Yan nodded.
It can be said that Minjiang Satellite TV has no other programs except Refrigerator, but "The Masked Singer" and new programs that will be broadcast soon will definitely be a dark horse.
What I lack most now is connections and qualifications. If I can win some important awards, it will be of great help to the development of future plans.
The two quickly reached a consensus and ended the conversation amicably.
