It's only January now, and the plan is to wait until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month for everyone to gather and start filming Running Man.
Let’s not talk about Yang An and Shabei. They are great brothers in variety shows. Yang An is the first brother when he is present. If Yang An leaves the group or leaves for something, Shabei will definitely shoulder the burden of the whole team. He is the second brother, and the two of them work well together.
Guan's father rushed back from the studio to entertain the distinguished guests today, and Guan's mother is also a drama actor. Both of them put aside their work and paid special attention to Yang An's visit.
Guan Xiaotong screamed happily: "Thank you, mom~mua~"
In terms of employee treatment, Yang An is still an open-minded boss. Every year, his team follows him around. When he takes a break, the field team is still sticking to their posts. If he is busy all year and does not give a complete It’s the Spring Festival holiday, this doesn’t make sense.
But as a woman, Guan Ma had an intuition. She was worried that Xiaotong would like Yang An unknowingly, and that her admiration would slowly evolve into liking her. This was a normal change, and this was where she hesitated the most.
This is a very reasonable request. Yang An wants Hu Ge's variety show section. Hu Ge became famous by Yang An's program and dominated the TV set. Yang An will not be able to get the income from his huge increase in net worth in the future, so the variety show fees must be reduced. , both parties are doing what they want and are very sincere.
Yang An smiled and said: "That's right, ten years of Running Man is enough to create a national goddess with the healthiest and most popular image, Guan Xiaotong, are you confident?"
Dad Guan asked: "Can you tell me who is participating?"
Guan Xiaotong's grandfather is Guan Xuezeng, a famous performing artist in Zhongjing Qinshu and a retired teacher of Chinese Opera.
Yang An came to the Chinese Opera Teachers' Community, where Guan Xuezeng and his wife lived. In addition, Guan's father bought a house in the community belonging to another old teacher who went abroad, and lived with Guan Xiaotong. This way he had an independent space and could look after the elderly. Disturbed by Guan Xuezeng's disciples and grandchildren, three generations of the family lived happily and contentedly.
Yang An became serious: "I know what you are worried about. I have seen interviews with you in the media. You are more worried about kissing scenes and intimate scenes, right?"
Zhang Yishan still doesn't believe it: "How powerful can a woman be? I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child!"
Brother Hu is already a well-known actor. He graduated from theater and starred in a costume TV series with high ratings. He was named one of the "Four Big Students" by Gossip Magazine that year.
Guan Xiaotong shouted softly in surprise: "It was also an assessment at that time?"
Dad Guan said: "I heard the old man talk about this matter today, and we also discussed it seriously. I wonder if Director Yang has any other requests?"
"Let it go... What if Xiaotong falls in love with Brother Hu? Sha Bei is not bad, but he is a bit too old. This Zhang Yishan? Forget it, I won't agree even to death!"
Zhang Yishan said excitedly: "Why don't I give birth five years later? Then I will be a classmate with the Nortel school beauty. Maybe I can catch her!"
Yang An said: "Aunt Li, regarding Xiaotong's personal relationship issues, I hope it will be very natural. I will never interfere with her at will, let alone hype up scandals. But I have a request. For at least six years, Xiaotong must not If you reveal your relationship publicly, it is best not to get married within ten years. Even if you get married, it must be a secret marriage and not made public. This is why I signed the ten-year contract."
Guan Ma nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yishan, which made the hair on Zhang Yishan's back stand up.
Guan Ma laughed at the side: "Director Yang is really good at talking. Thank you very much for the delicious food on your tongue. You can see that Xiaotong is going crazy with joy!"
Everyone is happy that Guan Xiaotong is initially selected as the male and female lead, but whether she can adapt to the entire team depends on her performance.
Guan Ma thought to herself and nodded slowly.
Yang An smiled and said: "The ones who can be confirmed now are me, Sha Bei, Zhang Yishan, Jin Dabao, and Brother Hu."
Guan's mother hated these men who approached Guan Xiaotong on the pretext of being brothers and sisters.
Yang An laughed: "Pull me down, you were born five years later and you are not even a child star. With your monkey skin, it is a miracle that you can go to Nortel! She scored 552 points in the college entrance examination and got the first place in her major. You How many exams did you take?”
"ah!"
But what Yang An said in the morning is absolutely correct. There are few resources in the entertainment industry and there are many people competing for them. After three years, the new top four students come out again. The competitive pressure of male stars is no less than that of female stars. In addition, Brother Shang Hu has not produced any good works in the past few years and is at the low point of his career, so Yang An plans to invite him to participate in Running Man, and it is best to sign a long-term contract.
Yang An had previously contacted Mr. Guan through Li Qiankun and Qiu Jiuling, and persuaded him with his smooth tongue. It was not difficult in fact. Yang An was a friend of folk arts, and Mr. Guan had long admired Yang An. , I wish he could lead Guan Xiaotong into the entertainment industry, Guan Lao’s vote is definitely a sure one.
Dad Guan saw that the situation was a bit tense and immediately said: "I understand, Director Yang is asking this for the national goddess!"
The meeting was at Guan's home. It was an old two-room house with a small living room. After a day of intense cleaning, it was quite neat and clean. The host family welcomed them warmly, making Yang An and Zhang Yishan feel particularly comfortable.
He deliberately hinted Zhang Yishan not to go. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yishan knew that Guan Xiaotong was to be cast as the male and female lead in the morning. He has been excited until now and insists on following Yang An.
After a few polite greetings, Yang An was arranged to sit down in the host and guest position, and sighed: "I can see it from Xiaotong. Their family must be a very cultured, artistic, and well-educated family. Now as soon as they enter the door, they feel An artistic atmosphere rushes over my face, and I feel quite comfortable! I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but I have been busy with chores and have postponed my visit until today!"
This gap is too big, Zhang Yishan was dumbfounded: "I took the exam... 365 points..."
Guan Xiaotong sat on one foot of the sofa, holding her face with her hands, smiling like a flower, looking at Yang An and her parents giggling, without even looking at Zhang Yishan, which made Zhang Yishan very upset.
Two weeks before the Spring Festival, the outdoor reality show field team received year-end bonuses with thick red envelopes, and they were all on holiday. They could rest until the seventh day of the first lunar month, and then continue to work for a week to prepare in advance for the stars to record the show. .
Guan Ma asked: "What is the content of the program? Is there anything special... intimate..."
What does it have to do with me!
Early the next morning, Yang An took Zhang Yishan to Dongcheng and met the person Zhang Yishan couldn't forget - Brother Hu.
Yang An shook his head and said: "There are no other special requirements! It was physical requirements at first, but when I went to Nepal and the Himalayas last year, Xiaotong followed me throughout the whole process and didn't fall behind. She has proven that she can do it. It was at that time that I decided to choose Xiaotong as my first choice. If Tong doesn’t participate, I will choose the other three.”
After dealing with the people in Zhongjing efficiently, Yang An concentrated on going home and making preparations.
Zhang Yishan's scalp was numb, and he could feel the strong malice in Guan Ma's eyes.
At this point, Guan Lao and Guan Dad strongly supported it. Guan Ma was a little worried, but her daughter was so enthusiastic and Yang An was so sincere that she was unable to resist.
The semi-contract refers to the past ten years. In addition to TV series, movies and advertisements, all variety shows, as well as related interviews, announcements and other commercial activities, are arranged and contacted by Enron Film and Television Entertainment.
Yang An smiled: "Zhang Yishan also graduated from Nortel, so he will be a member of the Running Man as well. But don't get me wrong, Aunt Li, I am not forcing a couple. Our initial plan for the Running Man is six boys and one girl. , Xiaotong is the sister of all of us. We must take care of her and train her in the early days. However, Xiaotong must grow up as quickly as possible, become the ACE ace in the team, and become a model of independent and self-reliant female stars. , I hope the six of us will not regard you as a little girl, but as the most terrifying opponent!"
In the evening, Yang An made an appointment in advance to visit Guan Xiaotong's house.
These words explained a lot. Dad Guan probably knew what kind of show this was, and Mom Guan also knew that this was not a movie, and there was no kissing scene. Guan Xiaotong also guessed that she was probably going to be delicate on the outside, but full of energy in her heart and body. For a tomboy, it is very likely that after the adaptation period, she will have to face the same competitive pressure as male celebrities.
Guan Ma has a lot on her mind: "Are you going to use some scandals or the like to hype it up?"
Guan Xiaotong giggled, extremely proud.
Considering that TV dramas, movies and advertising account for the bulk of the revenue, Hu Ge Studio’s share of participating in variety shows such as Running Man is far lower than the market average, almost a friendly price.
Jin Dabao and Brother Hu are both well-known people, so Guan's father feels relieved.
Of course, she didn't forbid Guan Xiaotong from appearing on the show. In fact, she knew very well that Yang An himself had done quite well. He definitely deserved the title of National Male God. He was motivated, good at doing shows, and had zero scandals in the entertainment industry. , Keep yourself clean, everyone likes such a boss, Xiaotong will definitely have a good future by following him.
He really doesn't know Guan Xiaotong. Only those who have filmed "Adventures with Bell" with Guan Xiaotong know how powerful she is. Especially Yang An, who is paired with Guan Xiaotong and has the most contact with her. It is precisely because of Guan Xiaotong's excellence. Her performance made Yang An decide that she was her first choice.
Yang Andao: "Guan Xiaotong is not something you can control. She is very powerful. Let me tell you, if you two are in Running Man in the future, your performance may not be as good as hers!"
The meeting with Brother Hu was very pleasant. He had just established his own business and was eager to achieve results. Several film investors came to him, but the films were not ideal, so he did not accept them. When he heard that Yang An wanted to invite him to appear on the show, he was very happy to sign the contract. Contract for the next ten years and a half.
The conditions were a bit harsh, and Guan Ma was a little embarrassed. Yang An spoke too directly, and she didn't feel comfortable with it.
Guan Xiaotong went crazy with joy: "Yes!"
Every time someone's name is mentioned, the eyes of everyone in the Guan family light up. They are all powerful people!
Yang An smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Of course, Xiaotong, you are the best!"
