Chapter 139 Feed me

Magic City TV.

I am the singer king column team.

"Why do you think our Director Ye is so obsessed with singing variety shows?" A middle-aged man with a big belly pushed up his glasses and complained to his colleagues next to him:

"With Director Ye's ability in talent shows and variety shows, coupled with the experience accumulated by our column team over the years, she can just sit back and get results. But now she insists on making some kind of transformation. Isn't she asking for trouble?"

"Who says it's not the case? Every few months during the preparation of the singing variety show, the bonuses of our column team employees have shrunk severely. When my family saw the income in my salary card, they would pick their noses and raise their eyebrows." My colleagues also felt the same way.

Words of suffering.

"Well, my family's status has seriously declined. When I was preparing for the talent show in the second half of the year, when I saw the huge bonuses in my salary card, the woman looked down on me and asked for help. She not only prepared a sumptuous dinner every day, but also pestered me to pay the public rations.

"

"But when I was preparing for the singing variety show in the first half of the year, I was immediately rushed to the study to sleep. Women are so realistic..."

"Then you should take this opportunity to change jobs. The second team next door is preparing for a talent show. You can definitely apply for job transfer." Assistant Director Feng Xudong said with some displeasure.

"We are all colleagues in the same TV station. If you want to go there, you don't need to say hello to Director Ye. I can approve the note for you."

These bastards, every time they were preparing for a singing variety show, they would whisper these gossips in his ears, didn't they just want to encourage him to discuss changing the program with Director Ye?

Although, he also felt that Director Ye's ability in singing variety shows was far inferior to her performance in talent shows, and his wallet was also severely reduced.

But he would not test the bottom line of Director Ye's "Iron Lady" just for these bonuses. Who in this conference room doesn't know Director Ye's obsession with transformation?

These guys just wanted him to go to the minefield. It was not easy for him to work his way up to the position of assistant director. He couldn't afford to go against that woman with a profound background.

"No way, no way, Director Feng, what are you talking about? We have all worked together for so many years. We are loyal to you and Director Ye. How can we think of changing jobs?"

"That's right, that's right, Director Feng, this is a bit jarring. If we switch jobs and go to the second group, wouldn't we be the white-eyed wolves who pick on the outsiders?"

Humph, what he said was better than what he sang. Feng Xudong had a clear conscience. How could he be so loyal if he was a working man?

If Director Ye hadn't received a relatively generous talent show bonus in the second half of the year, even he, the assistant director, would have considered changing careers, let alone the people below.

Because of Feng Xudong's reprimand, the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit depressing, but since they are all professionals in the workplace, they naturally would not put themselves in an awkward atmosphere.

A few people followed what they had just said and talked about the situations that middle-aged men have to face.

"You said that your wife drove you to the study during this period, is there a possibility..." The program planner stepped on the accelerator calmly:

"She wants to give you a buffer period to save food and grass. After all, even the donkeys of the production team need time to rest. What if you give up halfway if you don't recharge your batteries?"

The colleague next to him raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and also broke the news: "I heard that Lao Zheng next door has not entered the house three times this month!"

"Lao Cao, who did you hear such private news? Could it be..."

"Hey hey hey." The meeting room burst into laughter, and they all made teasing remarks.

At this moment, the rhythmic "ta-ta-ta" of high-heeled shoes sounded outside the conference room.

Chief Director Ye Qiuyan walked into the conference room with long legs. Her cold eyes glanced around. Everyone who was still laughing stopped talking in an instant, and the atmosphere in the conference room became serious.

There is no way, Ye Qiuyan, despite her beauty and plump and round figure, is the one that these middle-aged men love.

But the name of a person is the shadow of a tree. Chief director Ye Qiuyan is very strict with her, and her tough approach is enough to stop them from having unnecessary thoughts. Otherwise, they would not have nicknamed her "Iron Lady" in private.

Moreover, this chief director is extremely capable. If colleagues in the variety show industry were to select a few "variety show masters", then Ye Qiuyan, a beautiful and mature woman, would definitely be on the list.

Of course, this title is limited to audition and variety shows, but it seems a bit ineffective when it comes to singing variety shows.

Ye Qiuyan was wearing a slim-fitting professional skirt, showing off her round figure. She smoothed her skirt and sat down at the head of the conference table. She looked at the assistant director on her right and asked:

"Have they replied to the singers I asked you to invite some time ago?"

"Five front-line singers have given clear replies, but the front-line singer from Fengya Media has some scheduling problems." Feng Xudong quickly replied: "However, their company also recommended Bai Jie to us as a replacement.

singer."

"She seems to have a bad reputation." Ye Qiuyan frowned, obviously not satisfied.

"Her inspirational songs were quite popular in the past." Zhao Xudong said: "Moreover, her popularity has declined now, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to lower the price."

"Everyone has put so much effort into this show, but we can't just pass it off as a good one just because of the appearance fee." Ye Qiuyan thought for a while and said: "Since you mentioned inspirational songs, then contact Zhao Wanqi to see if she has any schedule.

.”

Director Ye, you have such a big appetite. This is not our talent show. You just say a word and the station will give you funds. Zhao Xudong complained secretly.

Although Zhao Wanqi is also a front-line celebrity, because she is currently popular, her appearance fees are several times higher than those of ordinary front-line celebrities. The current funding of the "I Am the King of Singer" column team cannot afford to hire such a big star.

Son.

"Why is there a problem?" Ye Qiuyan is a woman who pursues efficiency and pays great attention to the execution ability of her subordinates.

"There is no problem in contacting Zhao Wanqi, but the current funding for our program..." Feng Xudong hesitated.

"You don't have to worry about funds. I have already found a title sponsor. As long as the ratings can meet her requirements, this boss is not short of money." As if thinking of something, Ye Qiuyan made a rare joke.

"Director Ye, have we found the title sponsor?" Feng Xudong looked excited.

Ye Qiuyan nodded and replied in the affirmative: "The naming fee provided by the sponsor can be compared with the singing variety show on Mango Channel."

"Really or not, Director Ye, are you kidding me?" The employees in the conference room immediately exploded.

This is not to blame for them being impatient, this news is really exciting. You must know that not every variety show can sell naming rights.

Ye Qiuyan's talent show variety show naturally has no shortage of brand sponsors, and they even have the option to choose the best among the best.

However, as the old saying goes, good businessmen pursue profits, and these brand owners are also very realistic.

Although it is a variety show produced by the same program group, "I Am the King of Singer" has been aired for two seasons, but it has not found a title sponsor to take over.

The funds approved by the station are limited, and there is no revenue generated by the title sponsor. This singing variety show even has limited publicity funds for the program, let alone inviting popular singers.

If there is insufficient funds at hand, the program cannot be effective, the ratings of the program cannot be improved, and the funds approved by the station are even less. This is undoubtedly an endless cycle.

But now that we have found a title sponsor, we have undoubtedly found an opportunity to break the situation.

"Director Ye, I will contact Zhao Wanqi after the meeting ends." Feng Xudong was full of enthusiasm.

Then, he pointed to the guest invitation list and said: "Since we have found the title sponsor, there is no need to invite this layman."

"Although Wen Yan has been relatively popular recently, he carries the label of a talented songwriter, and the pure music he has released has also topped the list of new songs."

"But he is not a professional singer. Our "I Am the King of Singer" is now a professional singing variety show that can attract top sponsors. Don't be such a bastard who just pretends to be good." Feng Xudong straightened his back subconsciously.

With the financial support from the title sponsor, he is now confident and can no longer look down on laymen like Wen Yan who are not professional singers.

When he got the guest invitation list two days ago, he still admired Ye Qiuyan's eye for selecting people. No wonder she was able to become the chief director just after turning 30. You can tell a lot from this level of talent selection alone.

Come.

Look, look, Wen Yan has been trending frequently during this period, and he has a traffic aura, which is no less popular than the first-line singers. He can bring traffic to their programs, but Wen Yan is an outsider, so just give me some

The appearance fee is worth it.

But now that "I Am the King of Singer" has found a title sponsor and there is no shortage of program funds, he looks down on Wen Yan, an outsider, and feels that he has lowered the quality of the program.

Even if it is cheap, their program team is not short of money now!

"Substitution, a substitution is necessary. I can contact another popular first-line singer." Feng Xudong stood out with his fat beer belly and his eyes were burning.

I'm afraid you may have lost your mind. Looking at the high-spirited assistant director, Ye Qiuyan secretly cursed that no one knew better than her how this title sponsor came about.

If it were Wen Yan, there would be 80% chance that the title sponsor would blow it.

When the granddaughter of the Wu family asked her to come out to discuss the title sponsor, she was asked to ensure the ratings, but there was only one additional condition, that is, one of the seven starting singers must be Wen Yan.

Wang Luoqi would sponsor her show, which can also be interpreted as her belief in her ability. After all, the two have known each other for many years and belong to the same circle, so they naturally know each other's details very well.

But this additional condition is somewhat intriguing.

No wonder Mr. Wu introduced so many young talents to her, but she didn't like them. It turned out that he liked young puppies. The corners of Ye Qiuyan's mouth turned up slightly, feeling that she had discovered Wang Luoqi's secret.

She suddenly wanted the show to start soon, so that she could take a closer look at what kind of quality this little puppy was that conquered the "Flower of the Mountains" in Beijing.

It's no wonder that Ye Qiuyan thinks too much. In Sijiu City, thousands of miles away, only the Wu family knows about the relationship between Wen Yan and Wang Luoqi.

This was a hush-hush order issued by Mr. Wu, and even Wu Hao, that big-mouthed man, didn't dare to leak the secret.

"Director Ye, which front-line person should we invite?" Feng Xudong asked from the side.

"No substitutions." Ye Qiuyan said without doubt.

"But we have already secured a title sponsor, and now we are not short of funds. For the quality of the program, there is no need to hire an outsider like him." Feng Xudong continued to persuade.

The program planner also smiled and agreed: "Although his appearance fee of tens of thousands of yuan is indeed more affordable than other A-listers."

"Who said he should be given tens of thousands of yuan in appearance fees?" Ye Qiuyan said directly: "Give him first-line standards!"

Well, the little man of the sponsor is worth this price!

"Director Ye, you are not following the rules..." Feng Xudong couldn't sit still.

But just when he wanted to argue a few words, Ye Qiuyan added: "It's the appearance fee for a popular A-lister like Zhao Wanqi."

At this time, no one in the conference room spoke out to refute, but there was a strange look in Ye Qiuyan's eyes. Could this be the pretty boy the director kept outside?

Director, does he know?
