The venue was very simple, nothing special was done, it was exactly the same as usual.
In addition to Su Yan, Lao Wang, and a note-taker, there is also an additional young lady to help with tasks such as serving tea and water.
I don't need a translator. As long as I don't talk about medical treatment or machinery, I can understand everything.
A man and a woman appeared at the door.
Su Yan and the two stood up to greet him.
"Welcome to Qinghe, my name is Su Yan."
Tom is a middle-aged man in his forties, with curly hair, a bit bald, and taller than himself.
"Oh, Director Su is younger than I thought."
He shook hands and said.
Su Yan smiled and turned to Jierui who was leaving.
Blue eyes, blond hair, unknown age, foreigner woman is hard to guess.
"Hi, Jerry."
"Hello, Director Su, nice to meet you."
"Please sit down!"
Su Yan stretched out his hand to greet, and the four of them separated on the left and right.
"I heard that Director Su is one of the bosses of Qinghe. He is really young and promising." Tom immediately began to praise.
"Compared with your country, Colombia, it's just playing house, not worth mentioning. Our company's CEO, Mr. Wang, told me that you came all the way from the United States to Shanghai to discuss business with me?"
The two of them looked at each other.
"I thought Chinese people were accustomed to talking about household matters first before getting down to business. It seems that Director Su is very anxious."
"No, no, I think the two of you came all the way here not just to do some family chores. You might as well spend your time on business."
"OK." Jerry opened the computer he had prepared.
"Director Su, you currently have more than ten variety shows that you have personally planned and filmed. Many of them have sold their copyrights in South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and other places. However, there seems to be no precedent outside of Asia. Could you tell me about others?
The market is not interested, can you tell me what the reason is.”
Su Yan's first reaction was that he was crazy and wanted to lower the price.
"It seems that Miss Jierui has a thorough understanding of Qinghe before she came here." Looking at this blond and blue-eyed foreign elder sister, what appeared in her mind was the little mouse.
"However, you may have forgotten that Qinghe is actually an economic company. Its main business is responsible for artist schedule management and investment in movies and TV series. Variety shows are just one of them.
Moreover, unlike CBS, which was founded in 1927, we have only been established for five years. In terms of the industry, we are still a baby. We are quite satisfied with our current results. As for the North American market, we have actually started to try, "The End of the World"
Just an example."
These words were neither arrogant nor humble, and Lao Wang smiled happily when he heard them.
The main reason is that there is no pressure on both of them and the company. Originally, the company's main business is in Asia. If we can negotiate more income, if we can't negotiate, it will not affect the established policies and strategies.
This was what they decided when they had lunch. They couldn't be led around because of their big heads.
Obviously, Su Yan's words surprised the foreigner, and what he said was well-founded and not easy to refute.
"Director Su may have misunderstood. The reason why we came here is because Vice President William admires you very much, and he has also watched many variety shows you filmed. The one he admires the most is "Zhu Jianjun's Law of the Jungle"."
Lao Wang's heart skipped a beat,
Coming!
"Especially the host, he is very strong, in line with European and American aesthetics, and the content is also true. The members are really working hard, the environment is terrible, and they have to spend the night outside even if it rains heavily. It is a bit American style.
What the president means is that he wants to talk to your company about introducing this program."
Su Yan hasn't answered yet, but the other person has already spoken.
"However, not all of them will be booked. After all, the cultural differences between the two countries are relatively large. We are also experimental and will broadcast it in the late night slot. Only three episodes are needed, and the specific ones have already been selected."
Lao Wang took the A4 paper, glanced at it twice and handed it to Su Yan.
No surprises, it was just the most tiring three periods.
However, Su Yan was confused. He just wanted three pilot episodes of the program. He could just make a phone call. Why would he come all the way here?
Even if you don’t give me money, it’s okay, it’s good to be able to exert some influence.
"There's nothing wrong with your request, but I have a question."
He said what was on his mind.
"Director Su, I'm starting to like you." Tom smiled and said, "I'm not tired at all talking to you. I went to an island country last month and talked about cartoons. Big question. Sorry, slip of the tongue."
"It doesn't matter." Su Yan nodded to show that he didn't care.
"Every little thing has to be discussed by Najiliguala for a while. It's like spending every penny, but it's so refreshing to talk to you."
Sister Jierui also smiled.
"It's definitely not free. Each trial broadcast costs US$3,000. Depending on the final results, the subsequent price will also be different. It could be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands."
"It's possible there won't be a follow-up, right?"
"Hahaha."
Several people were laughing.
When discussing business, it will be very comfortable if both parties are honest and honest.
"But you still don't seem to have answered my question directly!"
"Okay!" Big-nosed Tom spread his hands: "I think you, Director Su, are more American than me."
"No, I am a pure-bred Chinese, born and raised, a good-natured person, and I will not change my nationality in the future."
Su Yan's reaction was a bit big, and the foreigner was a little surprised, but he didn't go into details.
"William is very optimistic about your abilities. The main purpose of coming here is to know what you think of the American variety show industry."
"Me? To be honest, I haven't done much research, but haven't I heard that the ratings will be low even if you criticize the president?"
"The director was joking. I like the current president very much. At least his daughter is very beautiful, isn't she? Let's get back to the topic. William wants to know, if you were to direct a program suitable for Americans to watch, would you be able to do it?"
Su Yan thought for a while and looked into the other person's eyes.
"I can!"
"Actually, I understand what you want, and that is a real reality show."
Tom smiled: "Please ask the director to elaborate."
"China is a big civilized country. It values treating others with courtesy and peace is the most important thing. This is different from the thinking of capitalist countries in the United States. If we don't discuss who is good and who is good, we can't finish it in a day.
The programs I did before were all in line with the local market, acceptable to the audience, or within the scope of moral permissibility."
When Tom heard this, he showed an expression that said, "I understand."
"What the American people like is nothing more than reality, so I will give them reality, a cruel environment, a small island, a rainforest, no clothes to wear, no stable food source, and they have to rely on themselves..."
Su Yan spoke very emptily, but the eyes of the two people opposite him became brighter and brighter, and they continued to record in their hands.
The entire conference room was extremely quiet, except for his voice.
It wasn't until after eight o'clock in the evening that the four of them went out. The girl on duty at the door was very surprised. She had to refill the coffee several times. She didn't go out to use the toilet during this period, but her expressions looked happy. She must have had a good meal.
result.
...
On the other side, Lee Hyori and her husband also boarded a plane to Kunming. They were supposed to leave when the filming started, but the nanny they hired to take care of the animals happened to be busy, and the filming was suspended for the past few days, so they were pushed back again and again.
Fortunately, there were no major problems along the way and we reached our destination smoothly.
However, when she got off the plane, she was recognized by fans from China, which caused a small commotion. Fortunately, Nanyun made preparations in advance and sent several people to pick her up.
Lee Hyori is still very happy about this. She has been away from the entertainment industry for so long, but she can meet fans who like her abroad. The satisfaction is written on her face.
It's just that the couple didn't expect that after arriving in Dali, the writer came up and put on the microphone without saying anything, and actually started filming directly?
We communicated in the car for half an hour.
Only then did Lee Hyori realize that she was both a guest and a tourist this time, and she also had to learn from experience.
She yelled that the director of the show was just messing around, especially after knowing that the male host was not even there and didn't care, it was simply unbelievable.
In her opinion, although the name of the show is "Lim Yoona's B&B", Su Yan's status is definitely that of the leading actor. Can a drama be filmed without the leading actor?
The writer nodded affirmatively. In this family, Su Yan's position is that of the youngest, not as good as the alpaca, and higher than the vegetable garden.
After all, she has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and she quickly accepted this fact.
Moreover, experiencing it from the customer's perspective is also beneficial for future shooting in Korea. You can know what is needed and prepare in advance.
Ah Cha told her that Yoona and Iu were the only ones at home now. They knew they were coming, but thought it was tomorrow and they could give them a surprise.
Immediately, my mentality changed and I became very active.
We followed the navigation all the way there, not even bothering to look at the beautiful scenery outside the car. We grabbed Li Shangshun and started discussing how to surprise Lin Xiaoyun.
"Oppa, if we press the doorbell directly, the effect may not be good."
"Oppa, how about asking the staff to open the door quietly and let us go in?"
"Oppa, would you like to borrow a set of doll clothes to wear?"
"Oppa..."
Li Shangshun smiled the whole time and occasionally echoed a few words. After many years of marriage, he knew his wife very well. As for the final method, he could not say.
Soon the two drove to a location not far from the B&B, and were stopped by the staff.
Ah Cha walked up.
"Yooner is planting vegetables with Iu in the yard. You have to wait for a while before going in when they go to take a bath."
Lee Hyori nodded, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
"Are there no guests today?"
"Well, you are the first batch. The following guests will not come until Director Su comes back the day after tomorrow."
"What should we do now?"
The communication between Lee Hyori and his wife and the program team is also being filmed here, and it will definitely be edited into it when the time comes.
"Did you discuss the results on the way?"
Hyori shook her head: "It doesn't feel like a surprise enough."
"Actually, you are overthinking it." Ah Cha said very experiencedly: "Yoona and Iu are both Korean artists. You are a great senior in their eyes. They are very happy to be here.
I suggest you don’t do anything, just go in and sit in the living room with your back to me, what do you think?”
The two discussed it for a while and decided to deal with it this way.
Then it was time to wait, and everyone got back in the car.
About half an hour later, Achana received a notice from the staff inside and they went to take a shower.
So he opened the door quietly and let the two of them in.
Not surprisingly, when the dogs saw the stranger, they had no reaction at all. They just looked up curiously. Hyori wanted to tease him, but was afraid to make any noise.
Several people walked into the living room like thieves.
"What's going on now?"
Fan Qifeng waved his hand: "Don't be so careful. They are all taking a bath upstairs and can't hear anything. They started working early this morning and are very tired."
"Then we can just sit here, okay?"
Lee Hyori kept looking in the direction of the stairs. As long as she went downstairs, she could have a panoramic view of the living room.
"Just do it."
Li Shangshun felt a little nervous now and kept drinking water.
Not long after, I heard a slight conversation, which seemed to be in the corridor.
"Click, click, click!"
The sound of footsteps coming downstairs was heard.
