Chapter 491: Brother
Li Qian could understand anyone who said he was nervous, but Sun Ruoxuan said that he was nervous, which would make Li Qian feel a little weird.
To be honest, Sun Ruoxuan has a hot temper and acts resolutely. She has always been the kind of person who doesn't know how to write the word fear. When they met for the first time, Wang Jingxue and Xie Bing were both serious, but she was the first The first time they met, they directly joked with Li Qian.
However, considering that this is her first time as a host, and she still provokes the whole show by herself, especially when it is broadcast on a big platform like China TV, so it is understandable that she will be under pressure.
At this time, Xie Bing took her hand, busy comforting and cheering her up, Li Qian smiled and said, "Have you prepared your lines yet?"
Sun Ruoxuan stretched out her hand and handed over her script book, with a hopeful look on her face, "It's just right, if you don't tell me, I'll ask you to show me, you help me check, don't say anything wrong."
Originally, Li Qian had planned to help Sun Ruoxuan write the lines for the previous episodes, but Sun Ruoxuan volunteered, saying that this was her own program, and it would be best if she did it herself, so Li Qian simply handed it over to her with confidence. It's just that he didn't expect that Sun Ruoxuan would have such a lack of confidence at that time-in fact, although Li Qian didn't handle this line, Zou Wenhuai, Liu Mei, and Cao Zhan and others in the company all helped her. She passed the test, and she also specially consulted several hosts and producers of Huaxia TV and Shuntian Satellite TV. It can be said that the script book currently formed is unlikely to find any mistakes at Li Qian's level. of.
But Li Qian still took it very seriously.
The opening speech is not complicated, just a few simple words, it tells the original intention of this program, revealing Sun Ruoxuan's unique playfulness and self-deprecating style, very good style, and then followed by Bai Yujing, Zhu Qiang and Zhong Lingsan Outline of a chat between two guests.
Most of the questions that Sun Ruoxuan prepared were lukewarm. Basically, every chat program would generally involve them. However, there were still a few places. She dug a few questions for Bai Yujing and the others. A pitfall - this is Sun Ruoxuan's style, he seems to be joking, but occasionally shows his majesty, and his shots are still extremely pungent.
Talk shows are like this. As a host, all you can prepare is a rough outline. What will be discussed in detail depends on the performance of both parties on the spot. To be honest, that kind of on-the-spot reaction is the real test host's.
There are two pages of A4 paper in total, and Li Qian read it carefully from beginning to end.
He was reading the outline, and while Sun Ruoxuan was chatting with Xie Bing in a low voice, she turned her head to look at it with concern from time to time.
Li Qian is very clear about the role he should play at the moment.
After reading it, he smiled, handed the outline back, and said with a smile: "No problem, I may not be able to do better than you if you let me do it. This outline is very comprehensive. Be careful not to talk too hot when recording the program, after all It's the first issue, style is very important, but it's okay to be steady. And..." At this point, he turned his head and looked around, but he didn't see Bai Yujing, probably she had slipped out, so Xiao Said: "Don't look at the quietness of old Baiwen, in fact, he is not easy to mess with!"
Sun Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and immediately said: "It's best not to mess with it!"
Li Qian laughed haha.
Seeing that Sun Ruoxuan seemed to be more confident, with a high-spirited look, he ran to the stage hand in hand with Xie Bing, and then Zou Wenhuai came over and said: "This price is not good, after the first ten issues are finished , can you ask for a higher price?"
Li Qian rubbed his chin with his hand, looked back and forth in this recording studio, and sighed, "Be content, this is Huaxia TV, if you can break through this path first, it will be considered a victory, even if you don't make money."
After a pause, he said, "This is our mouthpiece."
Zou Wenhuai nodded, then nodded again, and then said: "In the future, we still have to build a recording studio by ourselves, and even the programs have to be recorded in other people's buildings. When it comes to the price, we don't have enough confidence."
This time Li Qian nodded his head, and said at the time: "This is really something that needs to be arranged in advance, but there is no rush, as long as the ratings are not too bad, we still strive to cooperate with Huaxia TV for at least a year. At worst, let's make the show completely independent after a year later!" After a pause, he said: "Anyway, the core of this show is our own."
Zou Wenhuai nodded upon hearing this, "Yes!"
Minghu Culture and Huaxia Television jointly founded "Ruoxuan is Coming". Because Huaxia Television occupies the channel, it naturally takes the absolute initiative in the negotiation between each other-in this era, the channel, to a certain extent , is still bigger than the content itself. Like "Legend of the New White Snake", it suddenly became popular on channels like HUNAN Satellite TV. To be honest, there are not many established examples to follow in the past ten years. Moreover, "Ruoxuan is Coming" is just a talk show, if it is done well, Li Qian is not too confident now, at least it is absolutely impossible to be as confident as he is in "Legend of the New White Snake".
Therefore, the final negotiation result is that Huaxia TV Station will provide the venue, and Minghu Culture will be responsible for the decoration. In terms of content, Minghu Culture will be responsible for it alone. The duration of the program is tentatively scheduled for 40 minutes. One and a half million——If you really want to calculate the cost and benefit, this is a price that will definitely be a big loss.
Among other things, like the first episode at the beginning, there are only three guests. Now that they are the most popular, you have to take the initiative to invite others to come to a new show, and everyone's appearance fee is less than 500,000. Don't mention it. Even now, many variety shows have invited Bai Yujing and Zhu Qiang to participate, and the appearance fee has been directly reported to 2 million!
Nothing to say, they are the most popular!
As long as they appear, the audience who are addicted to "Legend of the New White Snake" will love to watch it!
However, because of Li Qian's presence, inviting the three of them here was just a matter of saying hello—it could be done without spending a penny, but what was actually consumed was favors.
Therefore, Zhu Qiang didn't mention money at all. When he heard that he was asked to do the show, the host was Sun Ruoxuan, and he immediately agreed. Bai Yujing didn't talk nonsense, and he killed himself when he made an appointment. , only Zhong Ling, after all, the relationship is a little far away, so when Zou Wenhuai from Minghu Culture called her, he took the initiative to mention the appearance fee to her agent, and offered 800,000 yuan, Zhong Ling vetoed it. Insist on not wanting money, but in the end, Minghu Culture still gave the money.
To a certain extent, the guests of the first issue of "Ruoxuan is Coming" must be powerful enough to make all the current variety and entertainment programs envious, but its single episode investment cost is 80 Ten thousand.
To be honest, judging by the quality of the guest group, the cost is cheap, but even so, compared to the price of 250,000 for an episode, this show will definitely lose money over time.
Moreover, it is predictable that since Minghu Culture is doing the work behind it, in the music world, as long as an invitation is made to this program, few people will not give face, and the appearance fee is estimated to be a matter of giving some meaning.
For example, Zhen Zhen, Li Qian has written two songs for her, and after the release, they are all works with good response, but each time they only charge her a symbolic licensing fee of 100,000 yuan. Recently, she also fell in love with a work by Wang Nanhao, and Li Qian gave it without saying a word. These are called friendship.
With this friendship, Sun Ruoxuan wanted to ask Zhen Zhen to come and record a show, and it is estimated that Zhen Zhen must have come without saying a word, and it doesn't matter if the appearance fee is paid or not-at worst, I will ask Li Qian to make an appointment for a song later. , they all came back.
But in the end, these favors come at a cost.
In short, with 250,000 yuan for one episode, it is impossible to invite so many big names to record the show.
Therefore, in the contract signed by the two parties, in addition to agreeing to wait until the end of the first ten episodes, Huaxia TV will increase the subscription price according to the ratings, and also voluntarily gave up half of the ownership of this program.
In other words, regardless of whether the show is expensive or cheap, its brand "Ruoxuan is Coming" is 100% owned by Minghu Culture. Once the contract ends, Minghu Culture can choose another TV station to cooperate with at any time.
And what Li Qian valued the most was precisely this.
Others may not know or see it, but he understands in his heart how powerful the revenue-generating ability of variety shows is when the domestic society develops to a certain level!
Besides, even if it is to create a stronger and more popular Sun Ruoxuan, this program must be done.
In the future, a beautiful variety show that can span singers and hosts, as well as a mature variety show for the whole people, will not only be a mouthpiece for Minghu culture to the outside world, but also more convenient to share various stars in your hands. Resources are converted into ratings, and then converted into a large amount of advertising revenue.
Sun Ruoxuan enthusiastically pulled Xie Bing on the stage to explain the various facilities in the recording studio one by one, while Li Qian and Zou Wenhuai walked around and looked around. With an audience of hundreds of people, Li Qian would definitely ask if they have all been contacted. Zou Wenhuai replied at the time that there was no problem. It is said that all of them were selected from the Rose Power fan club. The fans who got the recording invitations were very happy.
When the venue was almost finished, Zou Wenhuai turned his head to look at Han Shunzhang who was silently following behind Li Qian, and then said to Li Qian: "You must know that Bai Yujing brought a young man named Liu Zhongxin here this time. Going to Zhu Qiang, I think it also means to get closer to our company, have you thought about this matter carefully?"
Li Qian nodded when he heard the words, and said: "I'll go chat with Lao Bai later, I've already made an appointment, as for Zhu Qiang... don't worry, I have to go back to school tomorrow to continue to ask for leave, and then I will meet and chat with him Bar!"
…………
The Huaxia TV station is considered their place, and Li Qian doesn't really like to talk to people here, so he finally made an appointment with Bai Yujing to meet in a coffee shop inside the hotel where she was staying.
After talking with Sun Ruoxuan, just as Xie Bing said that he wanted to have dinner with Sun Ruoxuan and invited Wang Jingxue together, Li Qian decisively walked away and asked the driver to drive him to the hotel where Bai Yujing was staying.
When we met in the coffee shop, sat down, ordered a cup of coffee each, and hadn't seen each other for several months, Bai Yujing looked Li Qian up and down several times, and said with a smile: "You are more and more like the boss now." son."
Li Qian shrugged, "I thought you would say, 'How are you, Director Li'!"
Bai Yujing laughed when he heard this.
The relationship between the two of them is a little bit special.
Although Bai Yujing was dragged into the crew of "Legend of the New White Snake" by his stalking, to be honest, Bai Yujing enjoyed playing the role of Bai Suzhen very much. Moreover, although Li Qian is a novice as a director, he has an relaxed attitude. It's low enough, and it involves actors' performances. He is willing to put down his airs to discuss, analyze, and ponder with actors. Therefore, although he is very strict when a scene is filmed, most of the time, He gets along relatively well with the actors of the crew.
Especially Bai Yujing.
The so-called kindness of knowing you, I made you popular, and so on, that's something later, and to be honest, Li Qian made Bai Yujing popular, but Bai Yujing may not be grateful because she doesn't feel that way in her heart. I don't care so much about whether it's red or not. The friendship between two people is more accumulated in the process of filming through the communication of one shot and one shot, one expression, one movement, one eye deliberation, little by little.
After the filming was over, Li Qian could already call her "Lao Bai" directly, and Bai Yujing could also call him "Qian" casually. Of course, it was the accent of Shuntian Mansion, with an accent of "er", Qian'er .
Basically, like a buddy.
Therefore, even if we haven't seen each other for many days, there is no strangeness between each other. On the contrary, it is the kind of non-speaking, and the kind of jokes can be made directly when opening.
While talking, the coffee was served, Li Qian took a sip and asked, "After finishing this show, where are you going? Back to Chang'an Mansion?"
Bai Yujing looked helpless, "Ah, why don't I go back?"
Li Qian frowned, and said: "Your younger brother, you have made trouble with me. If you don't stare at me, just walk away with your hands, can you rest assured?"
Bai Yujing glanced at Li Qian, "Come on, just speak up."
Frankly speaking, as beautiful as Bai Yujing is, her every move and gesture is full of charm, even if she rolls her eyes, she looks very seductive.
Fortunately, today's Li Qian can barely be called a person who "lives among thousands of flowers".
After a pause, he said: "It's nothing if you go back to Chang'an Mansion, and the store can't be opened. Why go back? Buy a house here to live in! If you have time, we can get together to drink tea and chat Chat, what's the point of you going back to Chang'an mansion alone!"
Bai Yujing looked up at him, but said nothing.
So Li Qian continued: "By the way, and also, don't do it alone, don't be afraid of other things, the main reason is that you take care of such messy things by yourself, it's too annoying! Sign the brokerage contract with my company, I can't guarantee anything else, but at least I can make you clean and clean, without so many messy things!"
I don't know if Bai Yujing was moved by Li Qian's simple arrangement, or she was just waiting for Li Qian's words. In short, after Li Qian finished speaking, she thought for a while, then nodded, Said: "Alright."
The tone was brisk, it didn't seem at all that he was discussing his brokerage contract with others, and he didn't seem to feel at all that he was already the hottest actor in the country at the moment, and it was necessary to discuss conditions with others.
A few simple words, one said you come here, and the other said it was fine.
Before finishing a cup of coffee, the matter was settled.
***
Dare to ask for a few tickets, but I can't promise what will happen for the time being, I can only wait for me to go back.
Also, ask for a subscription. I've never asked for it before, but this book has more than two million words so far. Those who can catch up to the present should really like it more. Therefore, I hope that friends who have conditions permit can support a full order. For you, a full subscription may only cost tens of dollars and a few packs of cigarettes, but for me, in the future, it is very likely that I will dare to bite the bullet and quit my job to write a book full-time.
Running outside is too tiring.
