Chapter 314: Master Pei's Paycheck
Why change?
Yang An said with a wry smile: "I will keep the brand of "The Great Challenge" first, and I think it is better to keep a low profile when the turmoil is on the cusp. In addition, I want to make an outdoor star experience challenge program. Note that it is a variety entertainment program, not a documentary. , I think it is very meaningful. But none of us have rich experience in outdoor adventures, so please call for expert protection, Bell and your father are both expert explorers."
Wang Ke smiled: "My father is an amateur explorer, and he is not at the same level as Mr. Bei. You invite Bell to come over, don't you feel like killing a chicken with a butcher's knife?"
Several people laughed, Yang An laughed too, and found a few reasons to prevaricate.
When Yang An's team contacted the Bell team, the other party quoted a price. Bell's single-episode salary was 10,000 pounds. His four accompanying shooting assistants, a team of security consultant experts, a field doctor, and a director team, the entire team consisted of 14 people, with their own adventurers. The equipment, package price is 100,000 pounds per episode, and Yang An is also responsible for everyone's food, clothing, housing, transportation, helicopters, air tickets and other expenses.
An episode of 100,000 pounds, plus air tickets and equipment, would require an investment of 2 million pounds a season. This is only for the Bell team, not counting other people. This show cannot burn so much money.
Yang An didn't agree, he didn't want the BBC's director team, Bell only wanted one assistant for filming, named Simon, and the security consultant had a chief, a former Navy SEAL instructor, there were only three of them in total, and the package price was 20,000 pounds per episode. Well, Bell and the three of them are now traveling to China. This kind of low-intensity adventure is just like scratching an itch for them, and it is not worth so much money.
But a huge logistics team cannot do without other people. Yang An filled the gap with his own cameraman and security team, and learned from Bell's team.
There are a lot of specialties in adventure documentaries, which Yang An’s team doesn’t have knowledge, so we invited Bell to come here, on the one hand, to take advantage of his fame in “Survival in the Wild”, and on the other hand, to spend money to learn from a teacher!
Yang An said: "My people have already contacted Bell, and after in-depth communication with his team, he promised to come to China on March 29 and conduct an actual route inspection three days in advance. What Mr. Wang has to do is, on March 27 Come to Sara to meet us on April 3, and get used to it for a few days. On April 3, we will go to the Ancient Tea Horse Road, enter Nepal, and explore the Himalayas all the way. Of course, there may be minor changes to the plan, and we will notify you in due course. "
Wang Ke said seriously: "I am most worried about safety issues."
"The logistics support team will explore along the road many times in the past two months. Please rest assured. Mr. Wang helped to introduce Fang Weijie, the chief alpine expedition coach of the Pathfinder Association, as the team leader. He has rich exploration experience in Tibetan areas, Himalayas The mountains are even more familiar like his home."
Yang An introduced: "Don't forget,
Our most powerful adventure instructor is actually Bell. In his wilderness survival team, security experts and shooting experts have arrived, and we don’t need such professional expeditions. We are all entertainers, not the strongest men, so the danger is not great . "
Then, Yang An asked the secretary to bring the electronic map and the first version of the itinerary plan, and gave a brief introduction to the three of them.
This program should be said to be similar to the ancient tea horse road and the travel guide of the Himalayas.
It’s just that the status of travel friends is a bit special. They are all domestic stars and entertainers, plus a logistics support team of dozens of people, adding funny content of entertainers to travel documentaries, and adding some intensity, but not too much adventure. The event allows the audience to see the real performance of the artists.
In Yang An's opinion, this program definitely cannot be regarded as "The Great Challenge", nor can it be regarded as "Two Days, One Night", or "The Law of the Jungle". It is the first time he has brought so many girls out, and he wants to challenge the Himalayas. This can only be regarded as an enhanced version of "Adventure with Bell", which is more dangerous than the parallel version he knows.
No way, the stars are very delicate!
And don't forget, this is a variety show, not an adventure documentary like "Survival in the Wild", and the points of view of the two are completely different.
If some viewers insist that the show with Bell participating must be the type of "Wilderness Survival", that would be too biased. Why don't you say that the game that Real Madrid participates in must be the world's top game? Real Madrid often come to China to play commercial games, okay?
After negotiating with Shenwan and Shenzhen Satellite TV, Yang An also started to pack his luggage and prepare to go to Sara.
At home, Rong Feifei had already prepared everything for him. Yang An looked at the neatly arranged suitcases in the living room and asked curiously, "I don't need so much luggage, right? Why are there three suitcases?"
Rong Feifei hugged her husband's face, kissed her hard, and said with a smile: "There are two boxes that belong to me. I will accompany you on this expedition! Don't worry, I have already taken the rhodiola medicine in advance." a few days."
Yang An was surprised: "What are you going to do? The Himalayas are not a fun place, they are high and dangerous."
Rong Feifei said: "It's because it's high and dangerous, so I want to take care of you. You have a bad stomach, and I'm worried that you won't be used to Tibetan food. Well, Sara is also a place I really want to travel. Can run around. And..."
Yang An couldn't help laughing, put his arms around her waist, and squeezed: "You can find a hundred more reasons, such as going to the plateau area to exercise and enjoy the pure air without pollution... Well, I agree with you, But every ten days, you still have to come back and see the kids."
My wife was thinking carefully, how could he not know? But he didn't tell the truth, the two played heartily all night before leaving, and in the end Yang An still had the upper hand, killing Rong Feifei begging for mercy.
The best way to enter Tibet is by train, because the speed of the plane is too fast for people to react in time, and many people will have altitude sickness as soon as they land.
Sure enough, after getting off the plane, Rong Feifei felt a little unwell.
Although the stewardess on the plane gave a reminder of the adaptation period in advance, Yang An also faintly felt uncomfortable. The production team doctor who picked up the plane was a little curious and blamed: "Didn't I remind you? Before entering Tibet, you must pay attention to rest. , no matter how tired you are at work, don’t stay up late, and you have to suspend physical exercise for two days. You can see that you haven’t had a good rest, and your physical exertion is too great.”
"No way, there are too many things."
Yang An said casually. On the surface, the two remained calm and accepted the team doctor's criticism humbly and sincerely, but in their hearts they were laughing. They were indeed a little too crazy last night.
The team doctor insisted not to inhale oxygen. After a simple treatment, he drove out of the airport and took the two to the training base.
Sara is about 3,500 meters above sea level, with fresh air and no pollution. It has the rare western style in the mainland. Not to mention all kinds of beauty, it can be seen in documentaries and travel photos.
The training base is on the outskirts of Sara, which is the active training base of the General Administration of Sport of China. The production team leased a small area for three months.
This time Duan Haishan was not able to follow. He was old and his body couldn't bear it. The chief director of Yang An's production team was still Sun Dapao, but it was the hardest work. The assistant director in charge of following up was Wang Zijun.
Wang Zijun has followed Yang An and Duan Haishan for more than two years. Duan has been focusing on training. He participated in "The Great Challenge" and followed the filming all the way. He is the best assistant director.
This time he had the opportunity to shoot a new show, Wang Zijun was full of ambitions, he had to carry equipment weighing nearly 20 kilograms, and follow the filming of the large troop of artists marching, sometimes he became the leader, sometimes he became a fixed camera, sometimes... Also climb the tree.
"Why should I practice climbing steel?"
Wang Zijun, wearing a heavy protective suit, was questioning the physical fitness coach loudly in the steel frame area of the training base.
Yang An and Fang Weijie, the leader of Pathfinder, walked side by side from behind. Wang Zijun heard the voice, turned around and gasped in surprise: "Boss Yang, are you here?"
Yang An smiled: "I just arrived. Why, do you have any opinions on physical training?"
The fitness coach didn't say anything, Wang Zijun was a little embarrassed: "I was just thinking, as a photographer, do I need all-round training?"
Yang An said: "Have you seen the film "Survival in the Wild"? The great Bell always follows another great photographer, Simon. Many of the wonderful shots we saw were provided by Simon. In a sense Speaking of photographers, Simon is greater than Bell. When Bell jumps, Simon will follow him. When Bell dives in a frozen lake, Simon will simultaneously dive in another ice cave 5 meters away. If Bell is dropped by a helicopter Rope up to the sky, Simon will..."
"Followed by being hanged to the sky?" Wang Zijun answered casually.
Yang An smiled: "No, Simon will climb up the tree to shoot the shot of Bell going up to the sky. This is what the cameraman has to do all the time. Everything is for the purpose of highlighting the protagonist, which is harder than the protagonist."
The team leader Fang Weijie said with a smile: "There are many trees in the Himalayas, you will have a place to use them!"
Everyone laughed, Wang Zijun was helpless, since he chose to be the assistant director, he should have such awareness, Yang An and the others never gave up when they received the task, and the cameramen also never gave up.
After condolences to the staff here, the two went to see the artist training venue.
Fang Weijie introduced: "The condition of the artists is not very good. They arrived yesterday and rested for 24 hours. There are still two people who are more serious, Sha Bei and Wang Luodan."
Yang An was a little surprised: "Sha Bei's physique is not as good as girls'?"
Fang Weijie said: "It's still up to the individual to go high. You see, other people can do adaptive training now."
Li Jingtian was leading the team to run at a low speed, Liu Yuxi and Zhang Junning followed behind him, the eldest brother Huang Bo was behind the hall, the four of them ran around, and after seeing Yang An and Fang Weijie, they trotted all the way over and stopped in front of them After getting off, he gasped for breath.
