"Sighing at the beauty of beauty and crying, heroes have died, and there is so much suffering in the world. Mountains and rivers are eternally silent, how can we be happy."
The cell phone on the bedside rang, waking Su Yan from his sleep.
At a glance,
It's Chen Chichi.
"Hey!" His head was still a little dizzy, he didn't sleep very well, and he kept dreaming.
"You're still asleep. It's almost five o'clock, so be ready to come over." Chi Chi's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh, where is the location?" Su Yan asked, rubbing his eyes.
"WeChat sent you your location. Do you want to pick you up?"
"No, I'll take a taxi there and wait while I wash my face."
"Okay, hurry up then!"
I put down my phone and lay on the bed for another ten minutes before my head gradually became clear.
After freshening up, I went downstairs, fed the pets, and the reserved driver just arrived at the door. I probably still need to drink something in the evening, so I won’t drive myself.
The driver was very good. After getting in the car and confirming the destination, Su Yan planned to give him a good review without saying a word.
After saying that he was on the way with Chichi on WeChat, he called his wife and told her that he would go to Wuxi tomorrow and bring Qixi and Pepsi with him.
Lin Xiaoyun was very happy and asked him to set off in the afternoon and not have any night scenes in the evening.
When we arrived at the place, we found a group of people who had been waiting for a long time.
"I'm sorry, the road is too busy."
"Can't you leave early!" Xiao Sa dragged down the chair next to him and motioned for him to sit down.
We are all acquaintances, so there is no host or guest, everyone is very casual.
This is an authentic local dish in the Magic City. It is quite famous. You need to make a reservation to eat on weekends, otherwise you will definitely not have a seat.
"You order!" Sa Beining handed over the menu.
"No way, don't you even order the food first?" Su Yan was speechless.
Huang Lei glanced at him.
"This is Xiao Sa's invitation to you. We are all here to eat and drink. How dare we overstep our bounds?"
"Okay." Su Yan communicated with the young lady who had been waiting for a long time and ordered some casually.
"Where's the wine? What are you drinking?" Yang Di asked.
"I want beer anyway, you can do whatever you want."
Everyone knows that Su Yan doesn't drink well, and he doesn't force it, but he probably drank a little too much last night. He didn't even ask for any white wine, but he was given two bottles of red wine with ice cubes.
The topic of conversation is still about the concert.
"Director Su, after so many years of filming Wu Tiao, there are only two concert specials in total. The response last time was very good, so why can't it be done once a year?"
Su Yan took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.
"Have you not noticed that no matter how popular Hollywood blockbusters are, no matter how popular they are, the sequel will not come out right away. You have to wait for a while. Although our program is not comparable to others, it still has the same purpose.
The first is the production cycle, how long did it take you to prepare?”
"Almost more than 4 months." Yang Di replied.
"More than four months, not a short time, not counting Director Chen, Sister Hong and the others, the preparation time in advance is at least a month. Basically, a large-scale production takes at least half a year from the beginning of planning to the final completion.
Your energy is limited, and you don't only do one job for half a year, so time doesn't allow it.
The next thing to talk about is the marketing strategy. Some brands of shoes will launch limited editions, making fans flock to them and spend a lot of money to get them. This is hunger marketing. I believe you all know it. It is not unusual, but as a program
That said, the interval cannot be too long, otherwise people will forget about it. Once every two years, this rhythm is relatively reasonable."
Huang Lei laughed when he heard this.
"Director Su, Minjiang contacted me and asked when "Street Food" was filmed. Four years have passed and the Olympics have come full circle."
Mu Mu became interested: "Yes, I was still an enthusiastic fan of the first season. When I went to Fuzhou, I even bought meat swallows to try. It was not bad."
"Next month. Is there any problem with Teacher Huang's schedule?"
"Well, my TV series will end in May. I won't be taking on any more dramas in the second half of the year. I'm going to take a break."
"It just so happens that Tencent has already called me. The members of "New Journey to the West" have their schedules, and they will be arranged directly until after the year."
"Then you will be very busy starting next month."
As the boss of Qinghe, Huang Lei naturally knows the next arrangements of the variety show department.
"Yes, I won't be able to rest until April at least." Su Yan sighed: "Three programs are terrible."
"Don't you have another project here that is cooperating with CBS?" Chi Chi asked.
"It's still early. American companies are not like ours in China. Even if the contract is signed, there are still a lot of procedures to go through. It is expected to be enough to start filming next year."
"But I heard that Lao Zhu's program was shown on CBS and the ratings were pretty good!" Huang Lei said.
"Well, I have completely forgotten about it, and Lao Wang didn't even mention it to me."
Su Yan really didn't know that Law of the Jungle was already on the air. It seemed that the other party bought the program twice and 7 times.
Others were also speechless. If their works were broadcast on foreign TV stations, whoever it was would probably pay attention.
"It was late night on Wednesday. It seemed that the number of viewers for the first episode was 320,000, and for the second episode, it was 630,000."
But after Huang Lei finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in confusion, because they didn't know what the concept was.
"So is this good or bad?" Maki asked cautiously.
"have no idea!"
Huang Lei's answer made everyone even more dizzy.
"Because there is no precedent." He explained patiently: "These large TV stations usually purchase copyrights from companies that are already influential around the world, such as The Voice and Talent. They already have an audience base before production.
"Law of the Jungle" is a first of its kind. The dialogues in it are all in Chinese, and neither the actors nor the guests are popular in the United States. It relies on the novel program format.
But judging from the other party’s reaction, they should be satisfied with the result, after all, some American dramas only have a few million viewers.”
When Xiao Sa heard this, he rolled his eyes and raised the cup in his hand.
"This is a happy event. Congratulations to Director Su for entering the international market. How about you come and treat me to this meal?"
"Get out of here!" Su Yan rolled his eyes at him: "If you want to go international, the movie has already been screened in advance, okay, so why don't you just pick it up? It's just a meal, that's all."
"Then I'm happy for you!" Xiao Sa said forcefully.
The fragrant delicacies such as fried turtle paste, large black ginseng with shrimp roe, fried shrimps in oil, and braised fish were served on the table, making everyone's mouths move.
Seeing that someone had already raised the cup, Su Yan quickly ate something to cushion his stomach, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable on an empty stomach and he would get drunk easily.
As a treater, Sa Beining naturally became a target. Even a small drinker like Xiaozhu raised his glass.
"Maki, when the time comes to film "Street Food", how about you make a guest appearance?" Su Yan asked.
"Eh!?"
Maki is a little strange. This is the first time I heard about it. Films, TV series, and guest appearances are common, but variety shows...
"It's just a few shots. If I hurry up, I can shoot it in half an hour."
"Okay, no problem."
"Does this variety show also need a guest appearance?" Chi Chi asked while chewing on the bone.
"Well, when I saw Teacher Huang and Mu Mu sitting together, I suddenly had an idea. I thought the result would be good." Su Yan nodded: "It should make the audience smile."
No one bothers to find out the details. It is common for friends in the circle to give face to each other and show their faces.
After they had had enough wine and food, they did not continue. They went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
