Mei Zihan has almost no experience in variety shows.
The only time I participated in a small program on CCTV was similar to emotional mediation. At that time, Mei Zihan happened to play a second male lead who solved problems for the heroine in a TV series broadcast on CCTV. When he couldn't find a suitable guest, he directly replaced of.
Because he was a substitute, Mei Zihan was forced to go on the shelf, and he didn't get through much beforehand, so Mei Zihan could only play by himself.
At that time, Mei Zihan's EQ was lower than it is now, so the effect of the show was naturally bad. Fortunately, the show itself didn't have much ratings, and it was directly cut in the later stage, so Mei Zihan didn't lose face to his grandma's house.
But now, when he was suddenly asked to follow the crew to the highest-rated variety show in the country, Mei Zihan had already performed extraordinary without dropping his phone.
Being on a variety show is different from acting.
Mei Zihan felt that the pie that fell from the sky was really hot, so he didn't want to throw it away or eat it.
In his heart, Mei Zihan was still not used to presenting himself in front of thousands of audiences, and he was a little timid.
"My dear, what should I do?" Mei Zihan looked at Jiang Ying with grief and indignation, "I know that there may be publicity in the future, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. I'm not ready at all, can I not go?"
"Calm down." Jiang Ying pressed Mei Zihan's shoulder, "Don't shake."
"No shaking."
"You call Director An Yihao to ask for leave first, explain the situation, and then slowly calm down." Jiang Ying's voice was very calm, and this attitude also infected Mei Zihan a little.
Also... maybe as Jiang Ying said, it's not a big deal.
"Yes, I'm going to call Director An first." Mei Zihan sat down slowly, trying to calm himself down.
… No, no.
With so many viewers in "Between Love", he must have no guts if it was still live broadcast.
"An... Director An? It's me, Mei Zihan. Director Wen Mingjiang called me just now and told me that I'm going to temporarily participate in the recording of Blue Sky Satellite TV's variety show... Yes, our entire crew is going, so I want to ask for an extra day off , I will rush over after recording the show... Okay, thank you, I will definitely listen to you."
Mei Zihan hung up the phone, wiped the sweat from his head, and calmed down a little, "Director An said, tell me not to talk nonsense on variety shows, just smile when I don't understand, the director of the TV station doesn't would give me too many shots."
This is also commonplace.
The directors of the TV station are all good people. If the guests in the show are not in good condition, they will not give so many shots. Otherwise, it will affect the effect of the show. Isn't the director responsible for this
"Having said that, but you are the leading actor of your stepfather, no matter how few scenes there are, it will not be too few." Jiang Ying looked at Mei Zihan seriously and said, "Have you never performed on stage in public before?"
"No, I've always been honest." Mei Zihan shook his head again and again, "When I was in school, I was only responsible for the logistics."
"No way?" Jiang Ying frowned slightly, "Aren't you the one who should be pushed out to perform?"
Mei Zihan's face was absolutely natural after Jiang Ying's visual inspection. Even if he didn't know how to dress up before, his appearance was better than that of ordinary people. Mei Zihan himself always said that he was a school grass since he was a child. That being the case, he should be the face of the school.
"Our high school management is very strict." Mei Zihan said depressedly, "The old man in the teaching office said, when I'm not on stage, girls send love letters every day. They have a bad influence."
This is the reason
Jiang Ying, who has almost never enjoyed a normal high school in China, can't quite understand it, but this reason seems to be reasonable.
After all, studying is the top priority in the domestic environment, and ordinary high schools hate puppy love.
"Usually you can act freely in the crew, why are you afraid of variety shows?"
"Who, who said I'm scared? I'm just nervous." Mei Zihan said stubbornly, "I've never been on any decent variety show before, let alone such a popular show, can I not be nervous? ?”
"Really?" Jiang Ying looked at Mei Zihan suspiciously, "You were shaking all over just now, and you couldn't speak clearly."
"I was excited, excited!" Mei Zihan was a little annoyed, "I'm a majestic man, why would I be afraid of such a trivial matter?"
It was nothing more than a momentary gaffe before, how could he let Jiang Ying see him cowardly and scared one after another? Impression points will be greatly reduced, okay
"I can go with you, and I also want to meet Director Wen and screenwriter Zhang." Jiang Ying checked the calendar, "The recording time of the show is on the weekend, so I can make it in time."
"Great." Mei Zihan's eyes lit up, "Actually, you can go as a crew member. Director Wen has always asked me to thank you, saying that your idea is great, and the audience has always praised the opening."
"I'm just making a suggestion." Jiang Ying smiled, but didn't speak, "The most important thing now is to solve your problem."
"I'll just discuss it with the crew. With them around, I can always be more courageous." Mei Zihan said confidently.
... The words really can't be too full.
Jiang Ying held his forehead.
Mei Zihan and Wen Mingjiang were nervously playing trick cards.
This was originally a good way to calm the mood, but it turned out that neither of them would change their positions when they drew a joker card.
Jiang Ying was almost desperate for them.
Fortunately, he came. If he didn't come, screenwriter Zhang would be furious.
By the way, where is screenwriter Zhang
Jiang Ying looked around and heard the sound of water flushing from the toilet again.
…
This crew is not going to get better.
It's not going to the Oscars, it's just a variety show.
Today happens to be the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
Last night, Mei Zihan and Jiang Ying bought a plane for the night and went to the corresponding hotel. Blue Sky Satellite TV kindly booked a suite for them so that their crew could communicate well.
In the end, there was no communication, but the three nervous people collided together, and the effect was simply outstanding.
"Mr. Zhang, where are the three child stars?" Jiang Ying simply stopped looking at Mei Zihan and Wen Mingjiang, and started chatting with screenwriter Zhang instead.
"They don't live with us, but with their parents." Screenwriter Zhang shook his head, "Do you know what the ratings were yesterday?"
"I haven't paid much attention." Jiang Ying frowned slightly, "But I guess it should be above 2.2 steadily."
"At the end of the sixth episode yesterday, the ratings were a bit stuck and stopped at 2.99." Screenwriter Zhang looked a little numb, "There is only one episode of "My Stepfather" tonight, and the ratings are probably a bit higher."
When breaking 1 on the first day, screenwriter Zhang was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep all night.
When he broke 2 the next day, he went to the toilet twenty times a day and went directly to the hospital once.
Today is the third day, with "Love Each Other", the highest variety show in the country, screenwriter Zhang feels calmed down.
According to this trend, it is normal for "My Stepfather" to break the record, it just depends on what level the record can reach.
"Several online platforms have come to me to buy the broadcasting rights." Wen Mingjiang saw that the ghost cards returned to his hands, and simply threw the playing cards away, "My two brothers are very surprised, which platform to sell now is still up to you." Not sure, but the price should not be low. Teacher, Xiaomei, according to our contract, the fee for online copyright will be paid to your account on time."
Before Mei Zihan had time to scold Wen Mingjiang for cheating, he immediately shut up after hearing this.
The current online platforms and websites are all rich and powerful, and the prices given are not lower than those of TV stations. Now that the ratings of "My Stepfather" are so good, the price is estimated to double.
It is stated in the contract that this time the copyright can be divided into 30%, and the online copyright can be sold for at least 10 to 20 million, which is 30 to 4 million!
It's done, it's done now.
Mei Zihan tried her best to keep her smile from being too big, but she still laughed uncontrollably.
"It seems that we are still a blessing in disguise." Screenwriter Zhang smiled, "This is not a small amount. I have written several plays and have not had so many."
"Where. If it weren't for the contacts you helped find, teacher, TV dramas might not be able to sell now. Xiaomei's performance is even better. My two older brothers cried while watching it. They all said that you acted well, and they still want to wait for the Qingming Festival next year." I invite you to go to the grave together when the time comes, hahahaha."
"Haha, I must go." Mei Zihan would agree no matter what Wen Mingjiang said.
"By the way, this matter must be kept secret. Don't let the parents of the three child stars know." Wen Mingjiang curled his lips, "If the three of them hadn't raised prices temporarily, our budget would not have been so tight. This lens can obviously be taken better."
"Of course, how could I not understand the principle of not worrying about scarcity but inequality?" Mei Zihan assured her.
He swallowed the matter in his stomach as soon as he walked out of the door.
Seeing that Mei Zihan and the teacher were so happy, Wen Mingjiang was also happy. He didn't think there was anything, it was all agreed in advance, the two brothers invested several million together, and they could earn back several million, the profit was really not low. In addition to the network copyright, there are two rounds and three rounds, as well as some peripherals and advertisements, and there are still a lot of income!
Mei Zihan, as the leading actor who lowered his salary, got 30%, Zhang Ziwen also got 30%, and Wen Mingjiang and his brothers could still earn 40%! What's more, Wen Mingjiang later filmed a new advertisement for the TV station, and the compensation was second.
After this incident, the brothers also felt that this kind of investment was very profitable, better than their hard work in business, so they decided to only invest in the TV series made by their younger brothers in the future.
They don't feel at ease giving so much money to other people.
Some people make money and some people lose money.
They still see this very clearly.
As soon as money was mentioned, Mei Zihan, Wen Mingjiang and screenwriter Zhang began to relax, and Jiang Ying who was watching was amazed.
If he knew that talking about money could make them relax, why should he bother so much
