Lu Wen first went back to Nanwan, took a shower and changed clothes, and then drove to the company.
The building of Aijian Media stands on the west side of the road, towering and beautiful. Lu Wen took the elevator from the underground garage to the 25th floor. There are large and small meeting rooms on the first floor, which are dedicated to the docking and negotiation of artist work.
Sun Xiaojian had been waiting for a long time, chatting with the interns in the cubicle, when he saw Lu Wen coming, he hurriedly greeted him with the folder in his arms: "You came here on a shared bicycle at your speed?"
Lu Wen was wearing an Eisenhower jacket and a Bulgari pure black ultra-thin tourbillon watch. He raised his arm and took a look, coolly perfunctory: "I haven't been here for a long time, I don't know the way."
Sun Xiaojian was really in a good mood and said, "You go to the meeting room first, and I'll make coffee!"
Lu Wen was not in the mood, he wanted to finish the work and go home as soon as possible, so he walked towards the conference room with his arms around Sun Xiaojian's neck: "Isn't it just a variety show, you are so excited."
"Who am I for?" Sun Xiaojian emphasized, "It's not all for you!"
Entering the meeting room, without calling anyone else, Lu Wen sat down and flipped through the program information, opened the folder to see the title, and he understood why Sun Xiaojian was excited.
This reality show is called "Utopia", and it will be broadcast on the top five satellite TVs in the country. The focus is to adopt a new shooting mode, broadcast while filming, and it is claimed to be "no script, no random editing, the most realistic" reality show.
It was highly anticipated before it was filmed, and the attention was very high.
The theme is the popular slow variety show nowadays, but it is slightly different. The guests went to live in an ancient town, learned the local traditional crafts, and offset the board and lodging expenses in the form of apprentices, which is similar to making money and traveling poorly.
Lu Wen read a paragraph that part of the sponsorship fee will be donated to the local area for the protection and development of intangible cultural heritage and traditional crafts. He thinks it is good and meaningful.
Sun Xiaojian said: "Go through the recipe again."
Lu Wen turned back, there are two producers, one is the program center of Satellite TV, and the other is the Book Shadow Foundation.
"Book Shadow" is a foundation founded by Zeng Zhen and Wang Mingyu, which has been well-known in the circle for many years. Sun Xiaojian said: "If charitable organizations participate, the concept and reputation of this program will not be wrong."
As for the guests, the program team has negotiated with many artists, and the official news has not yet been released, but rumors have already spread all over the Internet. Lu Wen gossiped: "Is there really Jin Yanyu?"
"It's absolutely true." Sun Xiaojian said happily, "With Jin Yanyu here, the show has its own sailors, and his fans are the most likely to beep beep beep on the Internet."
Lu Wen asked, "Who else is there?"
Sun Xiaojian replied: "At present, there are actress Tu Ying, international supermodel Yi Chuan, and Xu Youke, a powerful faction with guaranteed ratings. In addition, Jin Yanyu, a traffic niche, and you, a total of two women and three men."
Lu Wen's head got dizzy when he heard it, the actress and supermodel are top-notch and powerful, plus an 18-line little transparent? He said tactfully, "Don't you think I'm out of place among these people?"
Sun Xiaojian said: "Any program needs a little transparency with no status, just like every class needs a thankless sanitation committee."
Lu Wen suddenly realized: "Am I going to work as a co-author?"
"Please." Sun Xiaojian knocked on the table with his knuckles, "Is it a grievance to be a coolie? You can get to know the actress, you can get on David TV, and you can brush your face with the coffee people you can't afford. You won't lose your blood."
Lu Wen was easy to coax and deceive, and nodded in conviction.
"Listen to brother." Although Sun Xiaojian is frivolous, he is still reliable at times, "You played the role of the leading man in Qu Wen, and your net worth has doubled, otherwise you are not qualified to participate in a show of this magnitude. You should cherish it, you know?"
Hearing the word "Qu" suddenly, Lu Wen was nervous and replied falteringly.
Sun Xiaojian noticed something was wrong with him, and asked again: "Did you hear that?"
Lu Wen shook the file folder and promised: "I heard you, I must use the spirit of variety shows."
As a result, Sun Xiaojian shook his head, took the information away, and handed him another document, saying, "You don't have to show off, work hard, don't steal the spotlight, don't seek success but stability, this is your script."
Lu Wen was surprised: "Isn't there no script?"
Sun Xiaojian was even more surprised: "You also believe this?"
All the program materials have to be read. If there is no problem between the two parties, the company and the program team will issue a contract according to the process and sign the contract at a certain date. Lu Wenlian left with a pile of documents, and sent Sun Xiaojian home along the way.
As soon as he stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the underground garage, the speed slowed down slightly. When driving on the slippery slush road, Lu Wen turned on the music, English songs, and habitually hummed along.
Sun Xiaojian's residence is not far from the company. The rented house was intended to be convenient for going to work. When it was an intersection away, he suddenly asked, "Where did you sleep last night?"
It just happened to be a red light, and Lu Wen braked a little hard.
As a manager, Sun Xiaojian didn't interfere much in Lu Wen's private life. First, Lu Wen was not popular, so he had fewer scruples;
The palm slipped from the steering wheel, and Lu Wen rubbed his thigh, showing a little weakness, the kind of teenage boy being questioned by the dean, he said softly: "I'm at home."
"Oh." Sun Xiaojian poked at the phone screen, playing match 3 games, "How did you get away after eating at the izakaya?"
Lu Wen's tone remained unchanged: "Take a car."
Sun Xiaojian scolded "nonsense". When he went to the bathroom after the show last night, Lu Wen disappeared. His mobile phone was out of battery, and he waited in the nanny's car for half an hour.
When the green light flashed, Lu Wen crossed the intersection with a kick, and asked nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"
Sun Xiaojian said: "Not really, just ask."
There were several apartments in front of him. Lu Wen turned the steering wheel to the side and slowed down. Without turning off the engine, he flicked the door lock. Sun Xiaojian quit the game, turned to face him when he took off his seat belt, and asked, "Aren't you in a relationship?"
"Damn," Lu Wen frowned, "talk to you?"
Sun Xiaojian said: "It's fine if you don't have one, let's put the relationship issue aside at this stage."
Lu Wen didn't have a romantic partner, or even an ambiguous partner, but he put the lock down in a serious manner, as if his precious rights had been violated: "Why?"
Sun Xiaojian explained: "You filmed this online drama very well, and the film studio is also satisfied. The company has already seen your value. So in the reality show arrangement, the "Wan Nian Qiu" you participated in will also be broadcast. When the time comes Simultaneously brush face."
The implication is that the acting career is on the rise and it is not suitable for dating. Having been on the 18th line without any scruples for a long time, Lu Wen felt that it was unreal when he was suddenly reminded.
"Of course," Sun Xiaojian said without saying anything, "If you really meet someone you like, the company won't stop you."
A few ordinary instructions from the manager, but Lu Wen was disturbed. On the way back to Nanwan, he even turned off the music. After driving around for a long time, it was dark when he got home.
The father and son had dinner together, and Lu Wen told Lu Zhanqing that he was going to shoot a reality show, but they didn't get any good words, so they broke up after a few words.
At night, Lu Wen turned on the light in the study to read the materials, including the recording process. The first two episodes of the show were filmed in Lanshui Ancient Town. He searched the Internet and found that it is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
Seeing sore eyeballs, Lu Wen put on headphones and lay on the imperial concubine's couch to listen to music, opened QQ, and shook his feet to send a message to the writer: Have you rested
I slept dirty last night, and Qu Yanting was changing the four-piece bed suit, and he replied: Not yet.
Unlucky Little Singer: I will be busy recently and have to go on a business trip. The reply may not be timely. Let me tell you.
Social Fear Young Writer: Okay, it’s okay, good luck.
Unlucky Little Singer: What are you busy with
When Qu Yanting returned to his study, there was an unfinished script on the lit computer screen. It was neither a project of the studio nor a debt of favor. It was an independent work completely belonging to him.
Socially afraid young writer: I am writing a story.
Unlucky little singer: Are you really a writer
Social Fear Little Writer: Otherwise, I made up my ID
Unlucky Little Singer: No, I thought it was exaggerated.
Social Fear Young Writer: How Exaggerated
Unlucky little singer: I thought you wrote an article on the official account.
Qu Yanting laughed out loud, but she didn't mind. It's normal to have doubts about her identity on the Internet. Moreover, Malloy Sandor once said that literature is more than the sum of masterpieces.
Social Fear Young Writer: Are you exaggerating
Lu Wen didn't intend to deceive, after all, he had indeed been in the music scene, and he was unlucky enough, so he replied: I'm really... a singer.
Social fear young writer: What have you sung
Unlucky Little Singer: Keep it secret.
Socially afraid of young writers: Well, I wish you a great album.
Lu Wen switched from QQ to music software. He has only officially released three songs, and the number of plays of the title song can exceed 10,000. The rhetoric and surging dreams of the past swept into my mind in the blessing of the other party.
Unlucky little singer: Wait for the day when I hold a concert in the Bird's Nest, please come and see it!
Qu Yanting was infected by a netizen whom he had never met in the middle of the night. With his fingers on the keyboard, he longed to use the hands that typed the script to write storyboards, draw scheduling diagrams, debug machines, and hold the walkie-talkie to forcefully shout stop.
He solemnly replied with the word "yes".
Two days later, he officially signed a contract with the program team. Lu Wenda arrived at the company early in the morning. The sports car was repaired. The red color of the gorgeous bag was too eye-catching, so he set up a low-key dark color system.
The two parties gathered in the conference room, and the legal affairs attended to conduct a final check on the details of the contract. The rules and regulations were not too detailed, because the TV program was full of uncertainties.
Lu Wen is sandwiched among a group of bigwigs and guests, and he is destined to not have many shots, let alone expect him to drive the ratings. The company's opinion is that the filming should be finished steadily, the person is handsome, and it is enough to impress the audience with a cool guy.
After signing their names eloquently, the agreement between Lu Wen and the program team was formally reached, and the company will follow up and take care of the specific affairs.
After the work was done, it was almost time for people to leave. Lu Wen smiled sourly, and threw two xylitol into his mouth to activate his facial muscles. Sun Xiaojian was wearing a suit in a grand manner, feeling exhausted, he pulled off his tie and said, "Go to celebrate at noon, please."
Lu Wen rolled his eyes: "It's time to be on camera, lose weight."
Sun Xiaojian changed his attitude: "Yes, although we are not popular, we cannot lose."
Lu Wen took out his mobile phone and searched for Jin Yanyu's height and weight. The official data was 1.81 meters, and suddenly found a photo of Jin Yanyu and Ruan Feng, which was at an event last year.
He was amused, like a naive ghost in the class who loves to expose classmates' shortcomings: "There is no little Ruan Gao, this person is false."
"Hey, be serious," Sun Xiaojian said, "Focus on the Weibo of the program group and other guests."
Lu Wen logged on to Weibo and searched for "Utopia". The first article that appeared was posted by the official Weibo of the program group. The copy was very long, and he successively @five guests, and he followed them one by one.
"Damn." Lu Wen reacted slowly, staring at the Weibo with tens of thousands of comments, "Is this... an official announcement?"
The promotion of the program has already been arranged in advance. Not only the program team Weibo, but also the TV station's official Weibo, major media accounts, and marketing accounts all released the news. In a short period of time, "Utopia" quickly rose from the internship hot search list.
It was the first time for Lu Wen to be reposted by @tens of thousands. Although most of them were forwarded by fans of other guests, and his name could not even be found in the comments, he was uncontrollably excited.
A few messages popped in, they were congratulations or teasing from friends. Lu Wen replied with his mobile phone in his hand. When he looked up, Sun Xiaojian had already gone to work, and he was the only one left in the conference room.
The surroundings were quiet, and the excitement in Lu Wen's chest gradually subsided. He quit Weibo and WeChat, and there was a person he wanted to share with most among the noisy news.
Lu Wen called Qu Yanting.
Three or five sounds connected, familiar breathing, tacitly passing the embarrassment of that day, Lu Wen said the opening remark clumsily: "Teacher Qu, the car has been repaired."
Qu Yanting asked, "How much is the fee?"
Lu Wen said: "You really want to pay, so don't worry about it."
"Of course." Qu Yanting insisted, "You tell me the number, and I'll pass it on to you."
Lu Wen joked, "Five twenty."
Qu Yanting paused for a second: "I'll give you about two fifty."
Lu Wen said: "Oh, I just asked my dad for money, but I couldn't tell."
"Then you send a WeChat message." Qu Yanting said, "I'm sorry, why did you call me?"
Lu Wen finally got to the point, fearing that Qu Yanting would think he was making a fuss out of a molehill, he retreated: "I'm going to participate in a reality show."
Qu Yanting has seen the news, good resources, Lu Wen is probably happy and looking forward to it, he pondered for a moment, and asked, "Are there any guests?"
Lu Wen was inexplicably alert: "Do you appreciate him?"
"I-"
"He lied about his height!"
No matter what, Qu Yanting said: "I want to tell you, don't provoke him."
