Early the next morning, when Su Yan went downstairs, he found that Aunt Chen was already here, making porridge, meat floss, fried eggs, vegetables, and steamed buns made by herself.
Yoona has lived in China for several years and has become accustomed to this kind of breakfast. In Korea, porridge is basically eaten only after being sick or drunk.
"Aunt Chen, be more prepared. Teacher He Jiong is here. I'll ask Lao Hu and the others to come over and eat together."
"Okay, go ahead. The porridge is enough. I'll steam a few more buns. Is Yoona up?"
"Well!" Su Yan took a piece of clothing and put it on: "She is washing up and will come downstairs soon."
The rain has stopped, and the sun is shining down, which is very comfortable on the body. Taking a deep breath of the cool air, people's mood has become much better.
After ringing the doorbell for a long time, Lao Hu wiped his groggy eyes and went downstairs to open the door.
"Why so slow?" Su Yan followed in.
"After you left, the three of us drank some wine and went to bed after one o'clock." Hu Shuai yawned greatly.
"Let them wake up. Auntie has cooked porridge and handmade buns."
"Hey, that's great. You sit down for a while and I'll call someone." Old Hu was happy.
Not long after, He Jiong's voice came from the stairs.
"I'm so sorry, I have to invite the director for this breakfast."
"Are they still okay?" Su Yan turned around and asked.
"How dare I knock on the door? It would be very embarrassing if I did something shameful."
"Um..."
The breakfast was in line with everyone's appetite. More than a dozen big meat buns were divided among them. He Jiong, who was so skinny, drank two bowls of porridge and three buns.
Then he stayed until after ten o'clock, and then he said goodbye and left. A few days later, He Jiong would fly directly from Changsha to Dali, and the three of them would meet there.
Lao Hu and his wife didn't notice at all.
In the afternoon, after Su Yan took a nap with Yoona, he drove to the company. The filming of the show was about to start. He had to hand over what he had to the writer and hold a meeting. There were many things to prepare.
Qinghe's variety shows have become a brand, with more than a dozen shows taking turns, almost all of which attract great attention. However, careful fans or fans in the industry have discovered that the last time Su Yan filmed a full season was more than three years ago.
"Three Meals a Day".
Others, such as Law of the Jungle and My Knot, only got their start, filmed a few issues, and then passed them on to other people, and The Birth of the Family only made an appearance.
Over the past three years, some people have come and gone from the Variety Show Department, but when they learned that the company's boss, the legendary director Su Yan, was coming back to film the latest season of Running Man, everyone was very excited.
The show didn't perform very well last year. The ratings dropped, the audience criticized it, and I was under a lot of pressure because other people's programs still performed well.
Su Yan's return is like a shot in the arm, which greatly stimulates everyone's enthusiasm. I heard that many new directors, writers, and related personnel from other departments want to participate and learn from it, regardless of whether they have programs on hand or not.
When he arrived, he found that the conference room was full of people. It was originally just a meeting for writers, assistant directors, and props, but in the end, dozens of people came, with so many faces that he couldn't even name them.
The documents had been sent to Ah Cha in the morning, and she had already sorted them out. Although the two of them had not cooperated for a long time, what Su Yan wanted to express was basically clear, and they also talked on the phone on several points that had questions.
She was also the keynote speaker. The eight plans were divided among people, including who would contact the venue, what preparations should be made for the props, whether to shoot during the day or at night, obtain relevant permissions, etc., everything was down to the smallest details.
Filming a variety show is not easy. Think about it, a movie only lasts for ninety minutes. How do you fill up the time and make it interesting? That is the biggest problem.
Meetings like this will be held dozens of times before filming starts, but they don’t necessarily have to be in the conference room. They can be held anywhere and in a variety of ways. Su Yan will become very busy in the coming days, at least on the phone.
It will be many times more.
Fortunately, all the staff are experienced, so he doesn't have to worry about most things, he just needs to nod or shake his head at the end.
Two hours later, the meeting came to an end. Su Yan stood up and looked at the more than 100 people with a smile.
"Wow, it seems that I have been away from everyone for too long. Some people here don't know each other very well, but it doesn't matter. We have more than two months to get to know each other. It will definitely be very difficult in the next period of time.
, I hope you can persevere." Su Yan paced the crowd, patting a staff member on the shoulder from time to time.
"You have all seen several of my program plans, and here I make two promises."
He made a yes gesture.
"First, there are still vacancies for four episodes of the program. I don't care if you are a writer, photographer, post-production manager, or responsible for other work. Once you have a plan, just complete it and send it to my email. Once it is adopted, it will be included in the program.
Type your name, and as a special thank you, you will receive a bonus of 50,000!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were applause and cheers. Everyone is an expert. Although they may not be good at writing, the idea of imagination is probably more interesting, especially after seeing several of Su Yan's plans. What he wants, probably
I also know it in my heart.
Fifty thousand yuan is not a small number. When inspiration comes, typing a few thousand words in front of a computer can make much more than those street writers who started out.
Not to mention the right of authorship, which can be used as bragging rights with family and friends.
Su Yan was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.
"You have plenty of time. You can send it before June 20th. I will read every article carefully. The format is just like what the Acha writer just explained. If you can't remember it, ask her to pick it up later.
, However, you can only use your free time and not delay your normal work." He reminded.
"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.
"Second, it's about all the program crew members. As long as the program's ratings return to 5%, everyone's bonus will be doubled!"
Even louder cheers rang out, and morale instantly rose.
Several assistant directors were very envious. Only Su Yan and Chen Jianshu could agree to the salary increase and bonus, while other directors had to apply.
"Okay, let's all take action. If you have any problems, report them to Ah Cha first. If you can't solve them, come to me!" Su Yan clapped his hands several times and announced the end of the meeting.
As soon as I went out, Lao Wang's secretary stood at the door.
"Director Su, Mr. Wang is waiting for you in the office."
"Oh, okay, tell him and I'll be there right away."
After sitting there for two hours, I had to go to the toilet first.
"I signed a contract with CBS!"
The first thing he said after entering the door was what Lao Wang said.
Su Yan nodded, sat down, and waited for the next step.
"Maybe they felt the pressure from other TV stations, and since we haven't made a decision to sign the contract yet, they probably panicked. Plus, I've been here several times and I was doing Tai Chi and didn't give a direct answer." Mr. Wang looked very surprised.
proud.
"Then I accidentally revealed a few names. It seemed that they knew each other very well, so they invited me to the hotel in the afternoon, and William and I videotaped directly. Guess what the result was?"
"The contract is signed!" Su Yan patted the dust on his trouser legs and pretended not to care.
"Hey hey hey, 200 million, five years and ten seasons, prime time on Saturday, I'm going over to sign the contract tomorrow."
Rao was already mentally prepared, or was he shocked by this figure. He was speechless for a long time. It's 1.2 billion yuan. He invested hundreds of millions in that "The End of the World". After deducting 7,788, he didn't even get half of it.
Achieving this is a huge risk.
But "Survivor" is just a copyright. You don't need to consider other things at all. Just pay the taxes and that's it. It's just an old hen that can lay eggs, and it's still a golden egg. It's just the beginning, and it has already brought huge rewards.
As it becomes more and more famous in the future, I can’t even believe it. I think it can compete with the likes of “The Voice” and “The Talent”.
"But the other party had a condition, so I agreed directly. It's about you."
"What conditions?" Su Yan raised his head and asked.
"In the next few seasons of the show, you don't have to be the director, but you have to be the director, which means it needs to be upgraded, including gameplay, games and other things. I don't think it's a problem, so..."
"Well, you did the right thing, it's really not a problem." Su Yan had no objection.
"And the other party has already started to prepare for the second season. The filming will probably be around August. If you have anything to remind, you have to inform the other party then. This is the contact information." Lao Wang handed over a business card.
"Yeah." Su Yan took it: "I do have something to give them."
There are so many ways to play in "Survivor". Just add two variables to each season. The links are all fixed. You just need to disrupt the contestants' self-perceptions from time to time, and the show will be much better. As for the game links, I don't think I have to worry too much.
, but I have to remind you to pay attention to the scale. Overly violent conflicts can easily cause injuries to players. If you have to quit the game because of this, it will inevitably be a bit regretful and inappropriate.
"Then I'm relieved." Lao Wang stood up, carefully took out an iron box from the bottom of the drawer, took out a bag of tea leaves, and shook it at Su Yan.
"This is my treasure."
Su Yan wanted to laugh when he saw the other person's aching expression, but he would not refuse: "What kind of good tea?"
"You'll know after you try it."
Mr. Wang was so excited that he had negotiated a big deal. He accidentally dropped a tea stem and picked it up again. His movements were meticulous and careful.
The hot water washed down, and the aroma of tea came to his nose along with the smoke. Su Yan took a deep breath.
"How's it going? It's not bad."
"Well, it's really good. I'll take two pounds back to honor my dad."
"Two kilograms? I don't even have two taels. This is a gift from my friend. I only got half a kilogram in total." Lao Wang patted the table and said.
"Don't be excited, just forget it if you don't have it." Su Yan picked up the cup, put it under his nose and smelled it. It was indeed very fragrant. He took a sip, and it was slightly bitter but sweet. After swallowing, the fragrance left in his mouth.
The two of them just sat quietly enjoying a cup of tea.
