The next day, Zhou Yanqing rushed to the company out of breath, and bumped into Song Yu and Meng Shiping as soon as he entered the door.
"Song, Mr. Song, I'm sorry, I'm late because of the traffic jam."
Last night he stayed up late reading a medical book on depression and overslept in the morning. However, the traffic jam was so severe today that he had to get off the car three stops earlier and ran to the company, but he was still late. He didn't expect Song Yu to arrive at the company so early.
Meng Shiping frowned slightly, and reproached: "Try not to have this kind of thing happen in the future, and your time should be fully coordinated with the artist, not the artist to cooperate with you."
"Teacher Song, I'm sorry, I won't do it next time!"
Zhou Yanqing apologized earnestly, thinking about renting a house nearby.
"It's okay, let's go together."
Song Yu replied softly, and lightly patted Zhou Yanqing's shoulder, signaling him to go together.
Since it wasn't the person Meng Shiping placed next to him, he had to take it for his own use first.
"Xiao Zhou is going too?" Meng Shiping asked after following.
"Isn't he my assistant?" Song Yu replied without turning his head, sounding a bit irrelevant.
It wasn't a meeting that needed to be kept secret, so Meng Shiping didn't say anything more.
Zhou Yan walked lightly in front of Song Yu, his heart beating wildly, and he smelled a faint fragrance that seemed to be absent from Song Yu's body.
The elevator just stopped on their floor, Zhou Yanqing turned sideways to let Song Yu and Meng Shiping go ahead, Song Yu hesitated for a moment before stepping into the elevator.
As the elevator went down, Zhou Yanqing stood sideways. He didn't dare to speak or look at Song Yu, and stared down at the ground.
Song Yu glanced at Zhou Yanqing, who had red ears, and joked, "Why are you blushing?"
"Ah? Yes, yes?"
Zhou Yanqing immediately touched his ears, feeling a little hot, but he didn't know if it was red or not.
Meng Shiping frowned and looked at Song Yu. Song Yu passed out with a high fever two months ago, and after waking up, his personality suddenly changed a lot. He will suddenly do some unbelievable things, such as joking with the little assistant like now. This kind of trivial matter is not special to others, but it would be puzzling to Song Yu, who has always been unhappy.
Song Yu glimpsed Meng Shiping's puzzled expression behind him from the elevator door, and his eyes became complicated and subtle.
The meeting place was a high-end Chinese-style teahouse. The program group of "Returning to the Garden and Farm" took Song Yu's intention to participate in the program very seriously. Director Chen Ke, producer Dong Cheng, and the head of the screenwriting team all came. After some introductions, everyone sat down, and Zhou Yanqing naturally entered the role of a small assistant making and pouring tea.
Dong Cheng first said a few polite words, expressed his love for Song Yu, praised his acting skills, and then got to the point. He introduced the program background and program features of "Returning to the Garden" in detail, and Chen Ke will make up for any mistakes and omissions in due course. The two spoke in great detail. The head of the screenwriting team also showed Song Yu the script of the first episode, and suggested that it could be modified within a controllable range according to Song Yu's request, which shows that the program team is full of sincerity.
Zhou Yan lowered his head and lowered his eyes lightly, and from time to time, he added tea and handed paper to the people present. On the surface, he tried to play a small and transparent role, but his ears were not idle, and he kept paying attention to the conversation.
In fact, he is very familiar with the program "Returning to the Garden" without listening to it, because this program has been popular since it was broadcast, and it became a national variety show two years later.
Zhou Yanqing is not very interested in variety shows, but Jiang Cheng likes this show very much. From time to time, he will forward some interesting clips to the four people in the dormitory. Zhou Yanqing watched a lot of clips intermittently.
"Returning to the Garden" is a "rural life experience" quarterly reality show variety show launched by S Satellite TV. There are 10 episodes per season, and each season has a theme. Every season, the program group will invite five regular guests to form an "experience group". They will go to a little-known small village in the motherland for real life experience in each episode. They will learn farming skills from local farmers to meet their needs. needs, showing the audience a picture of life of "self-reliance, perfect ecology".
In the past two years, various reality shows have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, some of which were very popular, and most of them died due to unsatisfactory ratings after a season was hastily aired. Regardless of whether it is popular or not, these variety shows always implement the eternal core of "funny". Whether the program guests are playing games, performing shows, or exploring in the wild, they must always maintain a high degree of enthusiasm, try to create dense laughs, and constantly show the audience lively pictures.
Of course, being funny is not wrong. Most people watch variety shows just to laugh and relax. But when the stalks are exhausted, the sense of variety of the guests is also uneven, so many shows mistakenly interpret the funny as loud and noisy, which backfires and makes the audience feel irritable.
At this time, "Returning to the Garden" does the opposite, avoiding the crowded and prosperous countryside and moving towards the quiet and peaceful countryside, satisfying the imagination of urbanites who are overwhelmed by life, and creating "poetry and distance" for the audience good life.
Such a bold retrograde made "Returning to the Garden" stand out from the crowd and become one of the national variety shows in the future. It is not the variety show with the highest ratings, but it must be a unique and indispensable variety show.
On the way to the tea room, Zhou Yanqing checked the information on his mobile phone. The draft of "Returning to the Garden and Living in the Field" has been publicized for several months, and it is currently in the stage of preparation for shooting.
"The format of the program is roughly like this. Originally, our program will officially start filming the day after tomorrow. Yesterday, we received a call from Meng's agent and urgently adjusted the shooting plan. We sincerely hope that Mr. Song will join our program." Dong Cheng made his final concluding remarks , with a sincere attitude.
The reason why the program group attaches so much importance to Song Yu is not without reason. First of all, of course, it is because Song Yu is very popular, and secondly, because Song Yu is not only popular but also has a good screen image, zero scandal and zero scandal. The most important point is because this is Song Yu Yu's first variety show will definitely have a high degree of topicality at that time, and the show can use Song Yu's popularity to achieve the goal of becoming popular before it is broadcast.
Although what the program wants to present to the audience is the beauty and tranquility of "Poetry and the Distance", but the TV station and the program group are not indifferent. What they really pursue are the ratings and advertising revenue.
Song Yu carefully read the implementation plan and the first script of "Returning to the Garden", and he raised his eyes to meet Meng Shiping's. Meng Shiping nodded slightly to express his satisfaction, Song Yu did not respond to him but focused his gaze on Zhou Yanqing's face.
Song Yu asked, "Xiao Zhou, what do you think?"
Meng Shiping's nose fluttered and he almost slapped the table to his feet. He didn't understand what Song Yu was doing, so he kept giving Song Yu his eyes.
Song Yu didn't go to see Meng Shiping, but looked at Zhou Yanqing with a slight smile and waited for his answer.
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment before he realized that Song Yu was asking for his own opinion, not only himself, but even Dong Cheng and the others could hardly hide the doubt on their faces.
Song Yu's gaze was too eager, and Zhou Yanqing had no time to think about why Song Yu would suddenly ask for his own opinion. He swallowed dryly and replied: "The name "Returning to the Garden" should be taken from the title of Tao Yuanming's poem. Judging from the detailed introduction of the director and producer just now, both the name and the format of the program are very suitable for Mr. Tao Yuanming's "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan" pursuit of a simple, natural, lofty and unconventional life attitude, I think so After the ingenious program is broadcast, it will surely save the souls of urbanites who are bound by impetuousness and pressure."
Zhou Yanqing spoke beautifully and tactfully, and Dong Hua smiled until his eyes became slits. He patted his shoulder with satisfaction, and couldn't stop praising: "The young man summed it up very well. I just babbled a lot. The words are not as simple and clear as you can summarize in these few sentences, where did Manager Meng poach the little assistant from?"
Meng Shiping's tightly locked brows loosened, and he agreed with a few words with a dry smile.
Zhou Yan took a sip of tea to hide his guilty conscience. He dared to raise the show so high because he had the memory of the next two years and knew that the show would become a big hit after it aired. He never thought of using this "super power" to cheat his own life, but he wanted to help Song Yu cheat all the time.
Song Yu calmly glanced at Zhou Yanqing, who was sweating from the tip of his nose, with a smile hanging from the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Meng Shiping's vision for picking people and resources was really good.
"The salary..."
Dong Hua saw that Song Yu's attitude was very obvious, so he brought up the salary. It was not easy to say this clearly, he made a point and waited for Song Yu to answer.
Song Yu tidied up the script on the table and handed it to the director: "Didn't you discuss the salary with Brother Meng on the phone yesterday, when can you sign the contract?"
Meng Shiping looked at Song Yu sharply, hoping that the other party would understand. Song Yu drank tea as if nothing had happened, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth hidden behind the cup.
Dong Hua was pleasantly surprised, fearing that Song Yu would regret it, he hurriedly said, "Can I bring the contract to your studio tomorrow afternoon?"
Song Yu: "Of course."
