Four hundred and ninetieth chapters fifteen million twelve days
"Congratulations, brother, the concert was a success!!!"
"cheers!!"
At half past one in the middle of the night, there was a lot of excitement in a certain hotel in Shanghai. People at several tables raised their glasses and stood up to make a toast.
Leslie Cheung, Faye Wong, Andy Lau, Qin Xiaobao, Hu Ge, Wang Bingbing...
The hotel was star-studded, not only the singers, but also the guests who came to see the concert, and the staff all gathered together to celebrate the successful conclusion of the first performance.
My brother sang for a full four hours. It was originally scheduled to end at 11:30, but it ended up being an encore.
After coordinating with the organizer and venue, the concert was postponed again and again.
Fortunately, Leslie Cheung had many songs, so I didn't worry at all. On the contrary, he sang a total of forty-three songs.
After getting off the stage, he simply collapsed from exhaustion.
To cheer myself up and come out to celebrate, I must express my gratitude to the three guests and the staff who have worked hard for a month to prepare.
Everyone was very considerate of him and knew he was tired, so they didn't make any special toasts. It just meant what he said.
The show will be on August 5th, and I will be singing in Wukesong, Beijing. I stayed for a week to recover.
My brother himself said that this concert was a real pleasure. Although he was tired, he was quite satisfied.
Faye Wong, who had also not started singing for a long time, seemed to be affected and said that she might also come out to sing.
The party lasted until after three o'clock.
Qin Xiaobao went home and had a good sleep. Yaya was still great. After washing up at home yesterday, it was almost four o'clock and she still got up early.
I simply made breakfast to eat by myself, mopped the floor, did some cleaning, turned on the live broadcast and took a look at the farm. After making sure that everything was fine, I went back to sleep.
Until Qin Xiaobao got up at eleven o'clock, the two of them prepared lunch together.
There were few people, so there was nothing to prepare. Just a small farm-style stir-fried pork, a vegetable, and clam tofu soup, which was perfect.
"I'm taking a flight to Beijing in the afternoon, and I'll probably have to come back the day after tomorrow," Qin Xiaobao sipped the soup. "You don't have to rush back if you have nothing to do. Let them exercise and get used to how they will work without you."
Yaya put down her chopsticks: "I understand, sister Lingling asked me to go shopping in the afternoon."
"It's very good. Do you have money?" Sister Lingling is my brother's wife.
"rich."
"Well, then remember to buy some gifts for the little girl. She will probably buy you some cosmetics, clothes and so on. You don't need to refuse. Our relationship is there, so it's okay."
"I understand, so what should I give to my sister?"
"I don't understand either. You can figure it out. It doesn't have to be too expensive. My sister-in-law won't accept it. You can ask Bingbing, she has experience."
"okay, I get it."
"The computer password is my birthday. If you're bored, just watch a movie or something."
"Okay, I'm not a child." Yaya was dissatisfied.
Qin Xiaobao smiled and did not continue.
The itinerary was decided two days ago. It was iQiyi who approached him. He had to prepare for his brother's concert, so it was postponed a bit.
The other party didn't say anything specific, only that it was a good thing.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaoming drove to pick him up. After talking to Yaya for a while, the two went out.
Arriving in Beijing at six o'clock, iQiyi sent someone to pick him up and went straight to the hotel.
Entering the private room, there were four people sitting inside, one of whom was the manager in charge of iQiyi Film and Television and the only person he knew.
"Director Qin, let me introduce you," the other party stood up and said, "This is Director Luo Jiarong. We are responsible for the online variety show at iQiyi. He has filmed many programs."
"Hello!"
"Director Qin, I have long admired your name."
"This is screenwriter Tian Rui."
The two sides exchanged greetings, and the sharp-eyed Qin Xiaobao sat down and pointed at the GoPro on the table: "What are you filming?"
Director Luo Jiarong smiled: "That's right, we are preparing a new variety show."
"No, do you want me to do it?" Qin Xiaobao was surprised.
"Yes!" Several people nodded at the same time.
"No way. Nowadays, the regulars in variety shows are Chen He, Deng Chao, and Da Zhangwei. My eloquence is not as good as theirs, let alone my sense of variety shows. Are you sure you have found the right person?"
"Because all the old faces appear in the variety show, the audience is already a little tired of the aesthetics." Luo Jiarong explained: "Our program is not required to be hilarious, but a healing type."
"Slow variety show?" Qin Xiaobao's first thought was that he had watched "Longing for Life" on Earth. Could it be that it was researched?
"Yes, slow variety show. If you agree, this shot will be used as material. It is expected to take about 12 days to shoot and cost 15 million."
Qin Xiaobao's heart was instantly moved. Damn it, it took at least half a year for him to make "Let the Bullets Fly" not counting the follow-up work, and he only got 5.5 million, not to mention the share of the money.
Sure enough, the platform is still rich, and it will give you 15 million in 12 days, tsk tsk tsk.
"Come on, tell me, what type is it?"
"Okay, I'll turn on the camera." Director Luo Jiarong was not surprised.
Qin Xiaobao is not a variety show star to begin with. The director has done a good job. Why don't you use money to impress me, feelings?
Do not make jokes.
So when the idea was first proposed and the leader asked him to select guests, when Qin Xiaobao was proposed, everyone thought it was unlikely and thought he would not participate.
Luo Jiarong said simply and violently, throw money at him.
It's easier from Qin Xiaobao's perspective. He won't refuse because it's too stupid, unless your show is so bad.
But being willing to spend more than 10 million to let him star in it shows that the plan must be good.
The screenwriter next to me stood up. There were GoPros placed not only on the dining table but also in several other places, so he came prepared.
"If you went to the countryside, what would you most like to do?"
Qin Xiaobao crossed his arms: "It should be to experience the local customs and have some rest.
When I wake up in the morning, I walk around the village and say hello to the villagers, something like this."
"Well..." The director nodded: "If you were asked to choose a male friend to go to the countryside with you, who would you choose?"
"ah..."
Qin Xiaobao understood a little bit. He gave more than 10 million yuan so easily. It turned out that he was interested in his connections.
He has been a director for several years, and he knows more actors than singers and variety stars.
As the other party said, the audience is tired of aesthetics. There are only a few guests on TV, but actors rarely appear.
If he were to star in the show, the guests he would invite would be his friends, so the effect would be extraordinary.
"How many people are needed for the show?" Qin Xiaobao asked.
"There are two permanent residents. Guests will come every issue, and you can invite the guests."
As expected, this Luo Jiarong had such a plan.
Totally understandable.
If he wanted to pick it up, Qin Xiaobao would definitely invite familiar friends. It would be more comfortable than coming with a stranger who he had never interacted with before and had to pretend to be particularly enthusiastic and generous.
