To be honest, Chen Ming really feels that three directors are not needed to make a TV series.
and,
Chen Ming didn't really want to pay for the extra invitation fee.
Budget is limited!
I hope Xu Jing can understand.
Seeing Chen Ming's thoughts, Wang Aiye explained with a smile: "He did have this plan before, but after learning that this TV series already had me and Xu Manke, he gave up."
Give up?
Very good!
Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Xu Jing would make this request in person and he wouldn't know how to refuse.
"Then what does he want from me?"
Chen Ming asked curiously.
Wang Aiye shook his head, he was not very clear either.
see the situation,
Chen Ming didn't ask any more questions.
The plane flew for several hours and landed steadily at Kyoto Cinema.
Same as before, not much has changed.
Chen Ming and others have been here many times and are not very curious about everything here.
But for Du Keke and Song Meng, Kyoto Cinema is definitely a novel experience.
On the contrary, Zhou Yike,
He still had a cold face, but occasionally when he looked at Song Meng, he would have a faint smile.
Anyone who is not blind can basically tell that there is something wrong between him and Song Meng.
However, these two people also like to play the trick of hiding their ears and stealing the bell. They always think that if they don't disclose it, others will not know that they are having a relationship.
What surprised Chen Ming was that Xu Jing was waiting at the exit.
See Chen Ming,
Xu Jing was extremely enthusiastic and gave him a bear hug.
"Brother Chen, long time no see."
It's been a long time indeed.
After the filming of "Fragrant Snow" was completed in October last year, Chen Ming never contacted Xu Jing again, let alone met.
Chen Ming shook Xu Jing's hand and said with a smile: "Director Xu, I haven't seen you for such a long time, you have become younger again."
Several people left the airport chatting and laughing. After staying at the hotel, Xu Jing took Chen Ming and others out to eat. It was easy to see from Xu Jing's eager behavior that he definitely wanted something from him.
On the dinner table.
After a few glasses of wine, Xu Jing started talking about today's business.
"Brother Chen, to be honest, I came to Kyoto Cinema to find you today because I was entrusted by someone."
Hearing the words,
Chen Ming put down the chopsticks in his hand.
Xu Jing seemed to find the next words a bit difficult for Chen Ming, so his tone became a little more entangled: "I have a friend who is a variety show director."
"Ever since he heard you singing "Nocturne", he has been chanting this song every day, hoping to have Brother Chen appear on his show."
That's it?
What did Chen Ming think was going on?
The next second.
Xu Jing then said: "I'm actually not too helpful with this, because the ratings of the show he hosted were not very good. Let Brother Chen be on this show, which is somewhat unworthy of Brother Chen's current status."
"What variety show is he directing?" Chen Ming asked.
"Rap variety show."
Xu Jing's answer stunned Chen Ming for a moment.
He seldom rapped. In his memory, apart from the song "Nocturne", he only wrote two rap songs for Xiao Fan.
Before Chen Ming could answer, Xu Manke asked softly: "Is this person Yu Kewei, Director Yu?"
As soon as this statement came out,
Everyone looked at Xu Manke.
Xu Manke explained naturally: "When I was a singing artist, I attended one of his programs. Later, I heard that his program was going downhill, so I stopped paying attention."
Xu Jing nodded: "That's him."
Chen Ming had never heard of this name, but for Xu Jing's sake, Chen Ming asked one more question: "What is the ratings of this rap variety show now?"
"...less than seven percentage points."
None of the people present are directors of variety shows, so they don’t have a deep understanding of percentage points.
But Chen Ming knew it very well.
This rating cannot be said to be bad, it can only be said to be extremely bad.
The previous ratings of "Survival in the Wild" and "Show Your Voice" were both upwards of 10 percentage points, and the ratings of some popular variety shows have reached 13 percentage points.
In comparison,
Yu Kewei's program is really terrible.
It is no exaggeration to say,
This kind of variety show has no income, and even has to pay for it. It is completely generating electricity for love.
Chen Ming didn't know how to answer for a while.
so far,
He has participated in three variety shows in total: "The Voice", "Survival in the Wilderness" and "Show Your Voice".
The ratings of these three categories are all above average.
Now if Chen Ming is invited to participate in a very low-quality variety show, Chen Ming will definitely hesitate.
But this was Xu Jing's request, and Chen Ming couldn't refuse directly.
After thinking for a moment,
Chen Ming smiled and said: "How about I get back to you when I go back and learn more about this program?"
Hearing the words,
Xu Jing looked happy. As long as Chen Ming didn't refuse immediately, this matter would still be successful.
Frankly speaking,
Chen Ming is not the kind of person who only cares about ratings, but the ratings of this show are so low that Chen Ming can't help but complain.
It's a miracle that such a bad show hasn't ended yet.
But this must not be said in front of Xu Jing, it would be too impolite.
After a meal.
Chen Ming called Su Rou and asked Su Rou to pay attention to this program called "The King of Rap".
Su Rou naturally kept it in mind.
On the first day of arriving at Kyoto Cinema, Chen Ming did not rush the filming schedule very tightly this time. He left a day for everyone to relax and rest before starting filming.
Today and tomorrow are rest times.
Chen Ming is rich now.
We should not be too picky about some areas where benefits should be provided.
For girls, coming to a novel place is definitely full of expectations.
that day.
Du Keke took Tong Ran with him, and Song Meng called last week to go shopping.
Chen Ming, Wang Aiye, and Xu Manke planned the official shooting scenes in advance. After paying the rent in advance, Chen Ming took the bus to Kyoto city.
It's snowing again.
The weather here in Kyoto is a little colder than in Yuncheng.
The tires of the bus rolled over the snow, making a squeaking sound that was particularly clear.
A few hours later, Chen Ming arrived in the urban area of Kyoto. After thinking for a while, Chen Ming did not go to the headquarters of Xingyu Entertainment first, but took a taxi to the national television station.
National television is still the same as in memory, unchanged.
The staff in the lobby were not surprised at all when they saw Chen Ming, and greeted Chen Ming kindly.
When Chen Ming came to Feng Yiping's office, he happened to hear Guo Dalei's voice.
"Damn it, if the dog is better than the author, I will go to Xizhou and chop him down sooner or later."
........
Chen Ming's hand knocking on the door stopped in the air.
I never expected that,
Mr. Guo Dalei is still pursuing novels despite his age.
listen to the sound,
It seems that the author of this novel is very dissatisfied.
After thinking for a while, Chen Ming knocked on the office door, and Feng Yiping's voice sounded: "Please come in."
Push the door open and come in!
As Chen Ming walked, he lifted up the gift in his hand: "Two old men, I'm here to wish you a happy New Year."
