After the filming ended, Su Yan did not stay on the island for long. He flew to New York with some staff and twelve contestants.
Before he could take a breath, he was invited to the TV station. Not only was he greeted by champagne and flowers, but also Vice President William. The office was decorated in a party atmosphere, and everyone was smiling and applauding to welcome the heroes' triumph.
Su Yan was hung with a garland as soon as he entered the door, and they also prepared a gun salute and a buffet.
The ratings for the second episode have come out, 11.35 million! Not only did it exceed 10 million, but it also took a big step forward, becoming the overlord of variety shows.
This number is basically three times that of some other talk shows. It is on par with "America's Got Talent" and even surpasses many TV series.
CBS's bold decision paid off. The launch of "Survivor" not only allowed them to seize the Friday prime time and gain huge advertising profits, but also increased their influence in variety shows. In just a few days,
The TV station has received many plans for new programs.
The Rotten Tomatoes index increased instead of decreasing, reaching 93%. Two hot topics appeared in the second issue.
The first was that the Latin team and the Asian team caught chicken. Su Yan did not expect that such a small thing would make Americans crazy.
"Oh, it turns out that chickens can also eat coconuts!"
"Watching them happily sharing the roast chicken makes me feel inexplicably satisfied."
"I really want to order takeaway for them, they will definitely be very happy!"
"Players should keep chickens so they don't have to worry about running out of food."
"If it were me, I would definitely go crazy! Eating meat is the happiest thing."
Second, Billy has become the biggest highlight so far.
"Hahaha, this guy must be sick. He has no self-awareness at all. No wonder ozzy Pika chose to lose the game on purpose."
"I think Billy is pretty good. He's chubby and cute, although he's a bit lazy."
"I really want to know how Candace will respond when she finds out!!! I'm so anxious."
"The members' reactions were too real. Everyone was very disdainful. If it were me, I would be even more sarcastic."
"I can only say that people are so terrible that they would actually think of betraying their teammates. I don't think the Latin team can make it to the end."
Fat Billy became the object of rebuke from many viewers, but at the same time he also gained support from many people. Some small programs even invited him to talk about his idea of participating in the show.
In response to this, CBS's answer was to go ahead and describe it as exaggeratedly as possible. If the effect is good, the TV station can also give some bonuses.
Of course, this is only for Billy. The other contestants brought by Su Yan and those eliminated previously have all signed new agreements. Before the programs related to them are broadcast, not to mention the media, even family members cannot reveal anything.
A word related to content.
Su Yan doesn't need to worry about these things. CBS will naturally sort them out for their own benefit.
After a short celebration, he was invited to the office upstairs by William.
"Cigar?" William asked, taking out a box.
"No, thank you!" Su Yan sat on the sofa and crossed his legs.
"I have to say, I regret it now." William asked his secretary to bring two cups of coffee: "When we signed the contract, we should have negotiated for at least three seasons, no, it should have been authorized for ten seasons."
Su Yan smiled and spread his hands: "It's too late now, isn't it?"
"Of course, if Qinghe is willing to give a preferential price, such as a 20% discount, I think that would be good news."
"You know, I'm just a director and not involved in this."
"Of course, CBS has prepared the check, and someone brought it to the Magic City a few days ago. If the director returns home, he can meet with them."
The program was a hit, and the attitude of the TV station also changed. Previously, negotiations required Mr. Wang to come to New York, but now he has taken the initiative to go to Shanghai to negotiate.
The reason is simple. "Survivor" can bring fame and fortune to CBS. Qinghe's Party A is now very confident. Su Yan can guess that Lao Wang must have received invitations to negotiate from other TV stations.
This is why William said he regretted signing for only one season. It is possible that the broadcast rights will change hands before the contract is signed. The so-called preferential price is just a joke. NBC, Fox, and CW will definitely try to get away with it.
As for the subtext, Su Yan also heard it. People from CBS have been here for several days, but there is still no news. What does it mean?
Lao Wang is taking Qiao!
Even if other TV stations in the United States don't take the initiative to contact, Qinghe will definitely spread some rumors. I only signed a contract with CBS for one season. If you want it, then come to me!
Business is always business. Although the cooperation with CBS is good, Su Yan also knows very well that if the current ratings do not meet the expectations of the other party, let alone the welcome ceremony, he will probably not be let in. This is a characteristic of capitalism.
He would not naively think that his so-called fan wanted to be friends or something else. Interest was the only reason why both parties could sit down and talk so happily.
After sitting for about half an hour, Su Yan stood up and left.
"Wow! In such a hurry? I probably forgot to mention that there is a grand party planned for tonight. You won't want to miss it!" William tried to persuade him.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have been away from home for too long. My wife is waiting for me at home. Rather than partying, I just want to see her quickly." Su Yan shook his head with a smile.
"Oh, I'm just staying one more night to see the nightlife in New York. I think you'll like it." William was very sorry.
"Next time, if I have a chance."
Obviously, William wants to enhance the relationship between the two. Su Yan is a Qinghe shareholder, program planner, and director. If he can express his position, then the contract renewal will not be a problem.
However, the other party is also a human being and doesn't give him a chance at all.
"Director Su, I can honestly say that CBS is very sincere in continuing to cooperate with you. I hope I can think more about it after I go back." William held Su Yan's hand and said: "In addition, if we can cooperate again, I hope you can come over and continue.
director!"
"Let's talk about it then. To be honest, my wife is pregnant and may not participate in the last episode of the show."
"Oh, congratulations." William knew that he was talking about the one-million-dollar live broadcast, but it didn't matter much. It would be too embarrassing for such a big TV station to ask for his help with everything.
After leaving the TV station building, Su Yan and his assistant were quickly sent to the airport.
Zhu Jianjun didn't stay on the island for about a week before rushing back to China. The filming was on track, and there was nothing he had to do. Plus, there were still two programs waiting there.
After more than a month, Su Yan had already returned home. He wanted to know how his wife was and how Xiao Shi was doing. He originally wanted to buy some gifts, but he had booked the earliest flight ticket and had no time. Fortunately, during the filming, the locals
I gave a few wooden handicrafts as gifts, and I thought Yoona wouldn’t like them too much, so I bought a bag at the duty-free shop at the airport and put them in it. I wonder if I’ll buy the caskets and return the beads.
After a flight of more than ten hours, it was already past midnight when we arrived in the magical capital.
He didn't tell Yoona the news of his return, but planned to give her a surprise. On the way home by taking a taxi, his heart beat faster as the familiar street scene appeared.
The security guard at the door recognized Su Yan, so he let the car drive in and stopped dozens of meters away from home.
In fact, the noise outside could not be heard at home, but Su Yan was unreasonably worried about waking up the people inside.
Like a thief, he quietly opened the door and moved two huge suitcases in. The assistant wanted to come with him, but Su Yan persuaded him to go back.
Just turned on the light,
Aunt Chen suddenly walked out of the room, and both of them were startled.
"No, Xiaoyan, why did you come back in the middle of the night?" Aunt Chen came out to drink water and was stroking her chest. Her face was a little pale. Anyone who got up in the middle of the night and saw someone else in the living room would probably not be much better.
Su Yan was similar. He immediately trembled and made a silent gesture.
"I just arrived. I'm sorry, Aunt Chen, for scaring you. Is Yoona sleeping?"
"Yeah." Aunt Chen also lowered her voice: "I said I was sleepy before ten o'clock. Are you hungry? I'll cook you some noodles?"
"Don't bother. You've eaten on the plane. You can go to sleep now. I'll leave your luggage here and pack it when you get up tomorrow."
"OK."
Aunt Chen watched Su Yan walking up the stairs with a smile on her face. It's good to be young.
"Kacha!"
Yoona felt herself being held in a daze, and a familiar scent came from her nose.
"Oppa?"
She thought it was a dream and shouted something unconsciously.
"Well, it's me!"
"Hey, you're here. I miss you so much! I dreamed of you yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday. You're here again today, but today's dream is so real."
Su Yan used the faint light of the bedside lamp to realize that Yoona was mumbling with her eyes closed. No wonder she couldn't hear clearly. She thought she was dreaming!
He kissed her face gently, probably because she had just come in from outside, her lips were a little cold, Yoona shivered and slowly opened her eyes.
Their eyes met, and neither of them spoke.
Lin Xiaoyun carefully took out her hand from the quilt and rubbed Su Yan's face.
"Oppa, you've become a lot darker, and you seem to have lost weight."
"Um!"
"You're really back, right?" Yoona blinked.
"No, you are dreaming... Oops, don't pinch me, it hurts."
"Haha! If it hurts, that means it's not a dream." Yoona happily buried her head in Su Yan's arms: 'Oppa, I really miss you.'
She is finally fully awake now.
"What time is it now?" After half a meal, Yoona turned to look at the small alarm clock on the bedside table: "Why did you come back in the middle of the night? Didn't you say you have to wait a few days?"
"Because I knew you missed me, so I couldn't wait to come back." Su Yan hugged his wife tightly in his arms again, but found that her belly was pressing against him.
"Oh, my little ten, do you miss daddy..."
Lin Xiaoyun looked at her husband talking to himself, his face full of happiness.
