Perhaps it was because he had been going smoothly for the past six months, but the sudden blow suddenly made Su Yan lose his energy.
The late-night program ranks first in the country, and its prime-time creativity exceeds 1%, which is a record for the TV station in recent years.
From an intern running errands to the person in charge of a program, from being unknown to many people who would say a few compliments even if they didn't know him.
Regardless of investment, personnel, or my own efforts, this program is unparalleled before.
The leaders and colleagues in Taiwan are also full of confidence and are rushing to win the awards at the end of the year.
0.079%, a simple data makes all efforts and all hopes shattered.
After sitting for a while, Su Yan forced out a smile and said, "You go ahead and prepare for shooting. I'll be right back."
Sister Hong also saw that something was wrong with the director, but no matter how much he said at this time, he might not be heard. After all, he was just a young man, and there was definitely no way to look away immediately.
So he exchanged glances with several other people and left first.
Sun Li took her children out to play accompanied by her manager, and the program team also called someone to accompany her.
As the host, Huang Lei is also concerned about the ratings. After knowing the results, to be honest, he was quite melancholy.
However, after the storm, he quickly adjusted to his condition. After all, he is an actor first, and it is a bit unrealistic to rely on variety shows to improve significantly.
After the recording started, he observed Su Yan's situation and found that it was almost the same as usual. Every instruction was still concise and straightforward, and there was no big difference.
It's just that when I was resting, I wasn't chatting with anyone, I was just looking out the window silently.
The familiar staff spoke much softer than usual, and looked at their bosses from time to time.
In the following time, although the work was relatively efficient, the atmosphere always felt solemn.
The next shooting location was relatively close, so the staff drove directly to move there.
Normally, Su Yan was supposed to stay and work overtime first to do the post-production work, but it turned out that he was carrying his bag and preparing to leave together.
Huang Lei's family had just left and did not return to Yanjing. They were preparing to set off with the group. Seeing this, he asked his agent to ask Su Yan to get into his nanny car.
When the car started, Huang Lei was not in a hurry, but handed over a bottle of drink.
"Director Su, let's talk casually. This is strictly speaking your second show."
Su Yan nodded and took a sip of the cold juice.
"I really envy you, a young man who has energy and drive and lots of time."
"Teacher, you are still young."
"Haha." Huang Lei laughed a few times: "I was admitted to the film school in 1990, and I acted in movies the same year. It's been almost 30 years now.
But in the early days, promotion and so on were not as convenient as they are now, and there were only a few movie theaters.
Basically, I rely on newspapers and radio stations, and the audience sees the posters when watching movies to know what movies are being released recently."
Su Yan nodded and listened quietly. Although he had two lives, to be honest, his previous status was incomparable to his current one, and his feelings were also different.
"After so many years, everything is changing, including people's tastes. There are so many people in China, and you can't satisfy everyone's needs.
All we can do is to explore and find the door that is most suitable for ourselves and the market through various attempts and failures.”
Huang Lei appeared and gave his own explanation.
“I’ve done quite a few TV series and movies so far, some of which were extremely popular, and some of which were scolded as shit.
None of this is surprising. You can't cater to everyone's needs, and you can't make 100% of your decisions right.
But, try your best in everything and learn from experience, that’s the most important thing.”
Huang Lei didn't say any big reasons, he mostly tried to comfort him, and Su Yan understood in his heart.
Just saying that the ratings are not good is actually normal. There are so many programs, and most of them are green leaves, used as foils.
But he is Su Yan, a new director whom Minjiang Television is favoring. The studio must be tolerant and say that things will get better in the future.
But those who have good things can be considered as finding opportunities.
The unknown director became active on Weibo again.
The ratings of "Street Food" were posted, without mentioning a word about the time slot or the content. They only said that Su Yanjiang's talents were exhausted, and his true colors were immediately revealed.
Some gossip newspapers and TV stations also took advantage of this opportunity to trample on it severely.
The big title says that the director of "Star! Refrigerator" and the chief planner of "The Masked Singer" encountered a waterloo, and a generation of new stars was wiped out?
Some talk shows on the Internet and celebrities have also caught on to the popularity and made special programs or special topics about this.
"Actually, I'm fine personally. I can hold on no matter what others say. I just feel that everyone has worked so hard, but the results are not as expected. I feel sorry for them." Su Yan expressed his thoughts.
"It's a good thing to be responsible." Teacher Huang was very smart and understood immediately.
"Times have changed. You have to put aside the past. After filming, releasing, and finishing, I don't know if it will be good or not.
Anyway, people around you say you are fine, and you have no way of knowing what other people think, so you naturally think you are fine.
But now, if there is a small problem, everyone will hold on to it, and if they don’t know how to regulate themselves, people will go crazy.”
Huang Lei calmed down and continued.
“Also, the most important thing is that we are a team, including me, so don’t put all the pressure on yourself.
Where is this? There are many examples of TV dramas and movies that start low and sell high, but you don’t even know the quality of our programs."
Su Yan felt very comfortable and didn't say anything. The other party already knew everything, and every sentence hit the bottom of his heart.
"Teacher Huang, thank you."
"Okay, don't be so polite. Talk to your colleagues later. Didn't you see how they have been looking at you these past two days?
As a director, you are the backbone of everyone. If you fall, you will be useless."
Su Yan was a little embarrassed. In fact, he also noticed this, but he was not in the mood to pay attention to it at the time.
After untying my knot, the conversation became more relaxed, and we talked about some interesting things in the entertainment industry, mostly listening to Teacher Huang.
The nanny car was better and drove faster. I waited at the hotel entrance for almost twenty minutes while other cars arrived one after another.
"Wang Yangyang, go and talk to the hotel first. The dinner price for the evening will be increased by 500 per table." Su Yan immediately shouted when he saw the little fat guy getting out of the car.
Wang Yangyang suddenly heard the director's angry voice and was stunned for a moment. Sister Hong next to him smiled and pushed him.
"Hurry up and go."
Su Yan didn't deliberately help with the luggage and equipment. He just stood there upright with a smile on his face.
Chen Jian was also a veteran of the martial arts world and felt that Su Yan seemed to be back to his original state.
"Everyone, hurry up. Director Su will have extra meals in the evening. Finish your work quickly and have a good meal to beat the rich."
Several cheerful staff members responded loudly, which made the little writer laugh.
