The next morning.
In order to keep the promotional video confidential and the process of filming the promotional video confidential, Li Weijie and the promotional video shooting team took the earliest flight from Pengcheng to Kyoto.
Li Weijie was sitting on the plane, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, feeling like he was dreaming: How could a first-of-its-kind and unpopular variety show suddenly enjoy the promotional resources of an A-level variety show
Li Weijie dialed Chen Minhao's mobile phone number as soon as he got off the plane.
"Hey, Lao Chen, today is Saturday, so you don't have class, right? If you don't have class, let's meet in your studio."
When Chen Minhao arrived at the studio, he saw five people he didn't know in the studio hall, setting up lighting and photography equipment, while Kang Hui and Li Weijie were standing in the corner of the hall talking.
Chen Minhao stood at the door, looking at these busy staff, his expression was a little excited.
It seems that Li Weijie's efficiency is higher than he thought.
After Li Weijie and Kang Hui saw Chen Minhao, they walked side by side towards Chen Minhao.
Li Weijie said with excitement: "We will shoot the promotional video today and finish editing it tomorrow. In this way, the official announcement will be made on Weibo next Monday, and the preheating publicity will be officially launched."
Yesterday, Li Weijie said that he planned to use a simple interview as a promotional video for "My Concert and Me", so Chen Minhao felt a little sudden about the busy scene in front of him, but he was not surprised.
Chen Minhao nodded and said, "Okay, is there an outline of the interview questions now?"
Li Weijie nodded, opened the document bag he carried with him, took out a notebook, opened it, tore off a piece of paper, handed it to Chen Minhao, and said:
"These are some of the questions I listed on the plane this morning. Do you have any questions to add? The interview will take about half an hour. We will look for some essence based on your answers and finally edit them into a 3-minute short film. "
Chen Minhao quickly scanned the questions.
Most of these questions are quite conventional and revolve around "what", "why" and "how".
He raised his head, looked at Li Weijie and asked, "Do you have any suggestions on the answers to these questions?"
Li Weijie smiled and said: "You can make up your own mind about these questions. After all, this show is not to package you, so I suggest you show some true feelings. Today's audiences have seen too many clichés, but true temperament can move people's hearts the most. .”
Chen Minhao was silent for a moment, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Okay, let me think about how to answer first."
Chen Minhao can make his debut in the C position of "Artist Producer", so he naturally understands what is just right and true.
He returned to his office and mentally organized the words for a later interview.
After thinking for a while, Kang Hui knocked on the door and came in.
"Chen Minhao, the makeup artist is here."
The makeup artist is Chen Minhao's acquaintance, He Yu.
When Chen Minhao walked for Valentino at Fashion Week, his makeup artist was He Yu.
After Chen Minhao briefly greeted He Yu, he sat on the chair and allowed He Yu to do what he wanted. What he was thinking about was still the questions for the interview later.
He Yu's habit of applying makeup to celebrities is based on their occasions, so he wants to know what type of variety show Chen Minhao will participate in later.
Li Weijie's idea is to keep the program strictly confidential before it goes online.
But makeup artist He Yu also has a temper.
The two were in a stalemate, with neither one willing to give in.
In the end, Kang Hui suggested that Li Weijie take out a confidentiality agreement to solve the problem.
After Li Weijie saw He Yu's signature, he readily told He Yu about "My Concert and Me".
After He Yu heard this, he regretted it.
He Yu felt that he should have had a better attitude towards Li Weijie just now.
Most people behind the scenes in the entertainment industry have a little bit of a yearning for "showing up".
He Yu felt that if he were Chen Minhao's concert makeup artist, there would be some shots.
He Yu glanced at Li Weijie, whom he had just offended. He took a deep breath, put away his feeling of loss, and began to frantically hint to Chen Minhao.
He Yu adjusted his peaked cap and said seemingly casually: "I don't have any work plans next, and I plan to give myself a holiday."
Chen Minhao said: "That's good, a person should be able to balance work and rest."
A minute later, He Yu picked up the paintbrush and seemed relaxed, but actually asked nervously: "Chen Minhao, has the makeup artist for your concert been decided?"
He Yu's poor acting skills were naturally unsatisfactory in Chen Minhao's eyes.
Chen Minhao had a delicate heart, and of course he had guessed He Yu's actual thoughts. He was also willing to help He Yu. Chen Minhao smiled and said:
"I originally wanted to find you, but if you want to take a vacation, I won't bother you for now. If I can't find a suitable makeup artist in the end, you must come and help me."
Chen Minhao felt He Yu's hand holding the paint tremble.
He Yu suppressed his ecstasy and said, "I can do it after my vacation. It's rare that you open your mouth, so I have the nerve to refuse. Let's do this, I'll give you a 50% discount on the makeup fee."
He Yu thought his plan was successful, but no one in the room could see through his mind.
But in fact, Chen Minhao is quite willing to cooperate with He Yu, not because of his discount, but because he is very fast in putting on makeup.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Minhao looked at himself in the mirror and was very satisfied.
After putting on makeup, Li Weijie asked Chen Minhao in a low voice: "Can we interview now?"
Chen Minhao nodded.
Li Weijie called a middle-aged man to come over and introduce himself to Chen Minhao.
This is a man about forty years old, with a steady face but a smile on his face. After entering the dressing room, he took the initiative to shake hands with Chen Minhao.
Li Weijie introduced: "This is Zhang Wentao, the person in charge of the photography of "My Concert and Me"."
After seeing the two of them getting acquainted, Li Weijie said, "We will have plenty of opportunities to chat in the future. Now we are short of time, so let's shoot the trailer first."
Of course Chen Minhao would not object. When he arrived at the lobby, he found that the lighting and photography equipment were already in place.
After Chen Minhao sat at the designated seat, the staff looked at each other to confirm.
"Three, two, one" the director's assistant clapped his hands and said, "Turn on the camera."
There is only Chen Minhao in the shot, and the questions are raised in the form of voice-over.
"Why do you want to do the variety show "My Concert and Me"?"
Chen Minhao said: "This is my first concert. In the early stages of preparation, I realized that actually holding a concert is very different from my original idea. Therefore, I want to record the process .On the one hand, to share it with others, and on the other hand, to record it for myself.”
Li Weijie looked at Chen Minhao who was talking eloquently. He felt that he still underestimated Chen Minhao.
Whether it is his camera sense or his answers to questions, Chen Minhao is very sophisticated.
Since it was not a real interview, after Chen Minhao finished speaking some questions, he thought of better answers and asked to reshoot the interview.
The entire filming process lasted approximately 60 minutes.
After the filming, Li Weijie took Chen Minhao to find a small conference room.
Li Weijie said to Chen Minhao: "Before the promotional video is sent out, I will send it to you to confirm the editing content."
Chen Minhao nodded without shirk. He gave up cooperating with Mango TV and switched to cooperating with Penguin Video, just for the sake of autonomy.
Li Weijie saw that Chen Minhao was not polite. He coughed lightly and continued: "I have good news here, that is, the promotional resources for "Me and My Concert" will be arranged according to A-level variety shows."
Chen Minhao nodded calmly and said, "I'll leave the publicity to you."
Li Weijie gave Chen Minhao a strange look and asked, "Are you not familiar with the classification of variety shows?"
After Li Weijie saw Chen Minhao nodding, he explained the variety show classification in detail.
Later, Li Weijie said excitedly: "Now you should be able to understand what it means for my boss Chen De to designate the promotional resources of this variety show as A-level, right?"
Chen Minhao said: "This shows that your boss has good vision."
"oh."
Li Weijie felt that he could no longer continue chatting today. It was the first time that he had ever foreseen that when he praised someone else, he also praised his own star.
Li Weijie didn't want to chat with Chen Minhao anymore. He got up and left, deciding to edit a promotional video.
Chen Minhao was sitting in the conference room and was about to leave when his phone rang. It was Chen Jingye.
Chen Jingye has called Chen Minhao many times in the past few days, hoping to quickly negotiate the details of cooperation and advance the project process of Mango TV's "My Concert and Me".
During this process, he made three appointments with Chen Minhao, but Chen Minhao only attended the appointment once, and the negotiations between the two parties did not involve any substantive content.
Chen Minhao's lack of energy and salt made Chen Jingye feel a little tired.
But Chen Jingye did not dare to push Chen Minhao too hard. He was worried that if Chen Minhao was pushed too hard, Chen Minhao would give up cooperation directly.
Chen Jingye was afraid that Chen Minhao would go to complain to his big boss Kong Xian. In order to reach a cooperation with Chen Minhao, he even told Chen Minhao the company's true bottom line.
Chen Jingye made a calculation in his mind.
If Chen Minhao goes to complain to Kong Xian, he will definitely be replaced. So, no matter how well Chen Minhao cooperates with Infinite Time and Space Entertainment, what does it have to do with him
Chen Jingye thought about it again and felt that it was still relevant.
If he is kicked out, the more successful the cooperation between the two parties will be in the end and the more popular the variety show "My Concert and Me" will be, the more it will prove that he is incompetent.
Chen Jingye feels like there is a wolf in front of him and a tiger behind him.
He didn't dare to push Chen Minhao too hard, but his big boss Kong Xian wasn't afraid to push him too hard!
In the past few days, Kong Xian basically called once a day to check on the progress.
But now Chen Jingye doesn't dare to tell the truth to Kong Xian at all. He knows that once he tells the truth, there is no need to wait for Chen Minhao to go to Kong Xian to complain, Kong Xian will kill him now.
In order to appease Kong Xian, Chen Jingye could only use lies one after another to appease him.
"Chen Minhao has agreed to cooperate, and we will communicate on the details."
"We have almost communicated the details, but we are now communicating about the concert plan."
Chen Jingye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Chen Minhao picked up the phone and thought: Chen Minhao didn't hang up the phone this time, which is not bad.
He asked: "Teacher Chen, it has been two days since we last met. I wonder what you are thinking about now?"
Chen Minhao said: "I have almost thought about it. Today is Saturday and tomorrow is Sunday. I will definitely give you a clear feedback on Monday."
Chen Jingye breathed a sigh of relief.
During this period of communication with Chen Minhao, Chen Minhao was dragging his feet in various ways, but today, Chen Minhao finally gave a clear answer.
In Chen Jingye's view, Chen Minhao is just a spoiled kid with a pistol in his hand.
The reason why Chen Minhao is causing trouble now is because he is dissatisfied with Mango TV's tough instructions.
He was dissatisfied with Mango TV, but he could not retaliate against Mango TV, so he picked himself as the weakling.
Some time ago, Chen Jingye thought that he would coax Chen Minhao into cooperating with good words, and then there would be many opportunities to retaliate against him in the future.
But now Chen Jingye feels that as long as Chen Minhao can agree to cooperate, he can coax Chen Minhao with his good words for the rest of his life.
As for Chen Minhao's refusal to cooperate, Chen Jingye never thought about this possibility.
Because the variety show "My Concert and Me" is the first of its kind in China and even the world. Such a novel format will definitely attract a lot of attention, which will obviously improve Chen Minhao. This is a variety show that can not only solidify and attract fans, but also promote the popularity of his concerts.
Only a fool would refuse such a variety show.
Therefore, now that Chen Jingye heard Chen Minhao's feedback on Monday, he felt reassured.
He had not considered any possibility other than Chen Minhao agreeing to cooperate.
Chen Jingye has not slept well this week. He slept particularly soundly on Saturday night.
On Sunday morning, Kong Xian called, and Chen Jingye confidently told him: "The details of the cooperation will be determined tomorrow."
Chen Minhao also saw the edited promotional video in the studio. He was very satisfied with the content and agreed to officially launch the promotional video at 12 noon on Monday.
On Sunday night, Chen Jingye also slept very soundly. After getting up, he had an energetic breakfast, checked the normal time, and dialed Chen Minhao's number.
Chen Jingye asked: "Teacher Chen, how about I go to the studio to find you, let's sign the contract, and the profit sharing will be based on our company's bottom line?"
Chen Minhao cleared his throat and said, "I have thought carefully about it and will not cooperate with your company for this concert."
Chen Jingye thought he heard wrongly and quickly confirmed: "Didn't we all agree? Why did you say we won't cooperate if we don't cooperate?"
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment and asked: "What was agreed? Didn't I say that I have been thinking about it these past few days?"
Chen Jingye felt that his brain was short-circuited. He originally thought that Chen Minhao just wanted to make a fuss, but he never expected that Chen Minhao would really stop cooperating.
Chen Jingye thought that Chen Minhao was still angry with him because of what happened before, so he hurriedly said: "Don't be impulsive. "Me and Me Concert" is such a good opportunity. Such an opportunity is rare, you Bad because”
Chen Minhao sighed and said: "I am not impulsive. This is the result of my careful consideration."
Chen Jingye asked reluctantly: "Why?"
Chen Minhao thought for a while and said, "Just wait and see today's Weibo."
Chen Jingye asked: "Which one should I look at?"
Chen Minhao said confidently: "Look at today's hot searches."
