Views:

Li Yang said this, and others also hesitated. There is less than a week left. Adding a brand new game link means that a lot of work needs to be done from scratch. Can they complete it

No matter how slow Yang An was, he knew something was wrong.

Li Yang didn't believe it: "But you are just a field staff, not a professional, and have no comedy performance experience. Wouldn't it be better if we let the host Rock come on to lighten the atmosphere?"

Li Yang added: "Well, it seems that Zhang Mingde is free. You can ask him if he has time."

Yang Anhao finally asked the other party to help advance part of the payment. First, build an empty frame with a 22.5-degree slope. When the money is in place, when recording on Thursday, the floor will be laid and the props will be placed in one step.

Li Yang played with the pen and said distrustfully: "Yang An, first of all, I admit that your idea is indeed interesting. Adding a 22.5-degree slope at the bottom of the performance room to allow everyone to slide involuntarily may indeed produce laughter. But the key point is Yes, how can your participation in the show help?”

Yang An shook his head and said: "We don't need A-list stars, Director Duan, we just need handsome men and beautiful women to make the audience laugh."

Duan Haishan opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe it. He almost laughed out loud. He nodded confusedly and pulled Yang An back to the conference room.

Yang An confidently patted his chest: "Don't worry, I will make the whole process full of laughter."

Duan Haishan nodded: "Young people are scary, you go ahead, I'll say hello to the props team, you can set up the stage as soon as possible and have an internal audition."

Yang An quickly explained his idea. Duan Haishan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help but cheer: "This is an interesting idea! Come with me, tell Li Yang and the others your ideas, and strive to perfect every detail!"

Yang An is really angry now!

Yang An simply refused to leave. He said: "Editor Li, it's "Joking Talk Slippery", not Yo-Yo. I'm now preparing to find someone to review a pair of scripts, but everyone else is very busy. I wonder if Editor Li can help check it. one time?"

After everyone had finished laughing, Li Yang asked again: "Yang An, I have another question. Why did you invite male and female actors to star in the movie "Marriage Between Men and Women"?"

Yang An scratched the back of his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "Can you let me also participate in the performance?"

We are all colleagues in the same program team. Is there anyone who wants to cause trouble like this? Who said a field manager can't also be a screenwriter or a producer? I won't let you two get what you want, and I'm stuck with you guys today!

Li Yang still refused to give up: "No, I don't think it's appropriate for you to come on. Director Duan, if you don't want Luo Ke to come on, I suggest you choose someone from the host team of "Happy Saturday" next door. Their artistic skills The feeling is absolutely overwhelming and the effect is definitely very good.”

Also, is this Yang An a little too crazy, so confident that "Joke Talk Slippery" will definitely be popular? You are just a small show manager, and the ideas you come up with can make the ratings skyrocket? Where does this leave us as screenwriters? This is what Li Yang is most upset about.

Li Yang and the others were also happy after hearing Yang An's ideas about "Slippery Talk", especially since Yang An wanted to perform on the stage, everyone thought Yang An was joking.

Yang An was the handyman responsible for ordering food. After he finished making phone calls in the corridor, he happened to see Duan Haishan coming out to smoke. He quickly went over and helped Duan Haishan light the fire: "Director Duan, I have an idea that should be able to solve the problem of the show. dilemma."

On Tuesday morning, the crew of "The Marriage of Marriage" received a notice from Red Maple TV, and the two parties agreed on a recording time for the program, which was scheduled for Thursday.

Ask you for a hammer!

Li Yang sneered: "A small movie with a shooting cost of less than 2 million, and the male and female protagonists are all third-rate stars. How can this attract attention? And Director Duan, the style of our program has always been like this. A sudden change will make the host and guests If you feel uncomfortable, all the work arrangements for props, photography, lighting, screenwriting, and scene management will have to be changed, and the audience may also be at a loss. Director Duan, I don’t think we can bet on "Joke Talk Slippery", we can’t afford to lose even once!"

Yang An first went to the finance department to get funding, which was only 5,000 yuan. He was discounted and was only given 2,000 yuan. When he came to the props team, he unexpectedly ran into trouble again. They said they couldn't cooperate.

The person in charge of the props team said: "Xiao Yang, according to the design drawing you provided, the 22.5-degree bevel angle on the ground has the same effect as the normal scene. Then we need to use angle steel and channel steel to build the chassis, and then use special floor inlays. What else can you do? It takes a lot of money to fix the bar, tables, chairs, microphone stands, and set up the scene, and 2,000 yuan is not enough!"

Duan Haishan hesitated for a while, thought for a while and said: "In this case, the crew of "Marrying a Man and Marrying a Woman" are also on the backup announcement list, so I will choose them as the guests for this issue. Xiao Li, please find a way to add more lines to the script. Laughter Come on, Xiao Yang, prepare the "Joking Talk Slippery" segment by yourself. We will make two preparations and wait for the guests to arrive to see how the actual shooting is. If it is not good, we will cut off this segment."

Duan Haishan blew out a smoke ring and said with a smile: "Xiao Yang, you heard what everyone just said. There are so many difficulties that cannot be solved. What good solution can you come up with?"

Li Yang asked: "Xiao Yang, how are you preparing for your yo-yo show?"

Duan Haishan couldn't wait to pull Yang An back to the conference room. Yang An didn't move and said with some embarrassment: "Director Duan, can I make a small request?"

Duan Haishan asked: "The guests don't have a high sense of artistic ability. How can we solve the problem of laughter?"

Li Yang closed the notebook: "I have no problem!"

Duan Haishan asked: "Then let me ask you, how to solve the funding problem?"

Yang An rushed to the TV station early in the morning and handed the plan that he had rushed out overnight to Duan Haishan: "Director Duan, this is my plan."

Several questions in a row seemed to be difficult for Yang An. Duan Haishan finally paid attention. He put out his cigarette and said seriously: "Xiao Yang, tell me what you think."

Everyone laughed and expressed their support for Yang An. Li Yang did not argue anymore. He was instinctively seeking benefits for Zhang Mingde. Maybe Zhang Mingde didn't like "Laughing Talk Slippery"!

Duan Haishan chuckled: "Who do you want to choose?"

Duan Haishan looked through it and found that the plan was divided into three parts. The first part was the prop preparation plan, the second part was the game process and script, and the third part was the highlights and post-production plan.

"Okay, I'll ask!" Yang An dropped these words coldly, left the door, and went straight out of the TV station to go home.

Yang An opened the program plan that was just distributed, turned to the announcement list page, pointed to a line in the guest list, and said: "Director Duan, for this issue, I would like to invite the male and female actors from the movie "Marriage between Men and Women" The lead actor comes over as a guest, and then adds an interactive game segment to the show called "Slippery Talk". As long as you agree, I can guarantee that the budget is not a problem, the laughs are not a problem, and the ratings are not a problem, at least it will not be worse than It’s bad now, so I can definitely guarantee 0.3%!”

Yang An explained: "Because of the eyeball economy! What we want are handsome men and beautiful women!"

Seeing Li Yang's performance, Yang An suddenly realized and felt unhappy for a moment. I heard that this Zhang Mingde was Li Yang's good friend. He was only the third MC in the "Happy Saturday" program. Li Yang deliberately recommended his friend to make a guest appearance. I just want to take advantage of the opportunity to get the chance to be on camera.

Yang An shook his head and said: "President Luo has been on duty for half a year. I think he is very good at talking, but his image is not suitable for comedy. I'm afraid the final effect will not be very good if he forces it on. I think I am the only one here who can let it go." Don’t worry, I’m a newcomer anyway, so even if I say or do something wrong, I’m not afraid of embarrassment or loss.”

Yang An chuckled: "Director Duan, I think all methods are thought up by people. People are the most adaptable creatures. In my opinion, these difficulties are nothing!"

Then he went to find someone to rehearse in advance, but Yang An encountered another problem. Everyone in the program team was very busy, and no one was willing to help him.

Yang An secretly encouraged herself, let "Love Smiling Slippery" conquer the entire program team!

If you are paralyzed and can't speak properly, do you have to be so yin and yang

How could Duan Haishan not master these twists and turns in Taili? He smiled: "Let Xiao Yang give it a try. We at "Joke Talk" finally came up with a more reliable idea. Of course, we are to train our own people. Are you willing to watch people from other program groups eat it?" Our meat?”

Duan Haishan asked: "Who should we invite as guests? We can't afford A-list celebrities!"

Yang Andao: "We need someone to perform with the guests and mobilize the atmosphere. I am willing to recommend myself."

Duan Haishan praised a few words: "Not bad, Xiao Yang, I didn't expect you can even make a planning document?"

Another editor next to him came over and said angrily: "Xiao Yang, you finished it so quickly? That's great, you don't even need to ask us! If you really can't find someone to review the script, you can go to the "Happy Saturday" next door and ask , they have a lot of idle people there, our program team is so busy, even the field manager has started to take on the role of producer as well, it’s so busy!”

Duan Haishan actually took good care of Yang An, a small field manager. Every time he recorded a program, he would intentionally or unintentionally give Yang An a few words. On several occasions, he even asked Yang An to do the work of deputy director, such as stimulating the audience's emotions, handing out gifts, etc. .

"Okay!" Yang An had no choice. The ratings of the previous episode were 0.295%. If Li Yang, the screenwriter of this episode, performs at his best, it is very possible to return to 0.3%. Duan Haishan also did this out of stability considerations. Being prepared does not mean not giving him a chance.

Yang An said: "That's because you taught me well. I have learned a lot in the past six months. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity!"

Li Yang said: "Zhang Mingde!"

Yang An raised a hand: "This idea of mine will increase the budget by no more than 5,000 yuan."

Li Yang sat down, half-lying on the computer chair, took a sip of coffee and said, "I'm also very busy. I only have two days to write the funny points. The original script has to be completely overturned and rewritten. Really?" I can’t help you.”

At this time, he saw Li Yang coming from outside who was gloating about his misfortune, and Li Yang greeted him with a smile.

Duan Haishan asked: "What are the requirements?"

Duan Haishan smiled and nodded in support: "Xiao Yang has interacted with the audience several times before. I have seen it. He is quite good at mobilizing the atmosphere."
