1008. Envy
Just when the girls were about to come to visit Ma Dong, Ma Dong had already been talking to Nie Wei for almost an hour.
Nie Wei came to the company before eight o'clock in the morning, because he had made an appointment with Ma Dong a few days ago to further discuss the content of "Where Are You Going, Dad", but Nie Wei had no time for a few days, so he finally had time until today.
Ma Dong came earlier than Nie Wei, and after determining that Nie Wei would come to the company at eight o'clock, Ma Dong was already waiting in his office at about seven twenty, and even breakfast was solved in his office.
So when Nie only entered Ma Dong's office, he asked for the smell of burnt rings and bean juice.
"I don't open the windows to let it smell. Nie Wei subconsciously fanned him, it wasn't that he couldn't stand the smell, but talking about things in this greasy taste, his thinking felt sluggish, which really made Nie Wei feel uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Ma Dong also hurriedly apologized, and Nie Wei opened all the windows in the office.
When all the windows were opened and the morning breeze outside blew in, the greasy smell suddenly dissipated a lot, and Nie Wei and Ma Dong also began to talk.
"First of all, the issue of production funds, at present, the investigation personnel sent out by the company first have been transmitted back to about 50 counties and townships in the country and have cultural heritage filming locations, if according to your previous requirements, the characteristics of the south and the north are taken into account, plus the number of episodes in the first quarter of the program, we may have to choose six to eight shooting locations. ”
"I've pre-selected a few here, so why don't you take a look at them first? ”
Nie Wei took a photo album handed over by Ma Dong, opened it, and the first page was a very familiar scene, Nie Wei thought about it for a while and recalled, isn't this Lingshui Village on the outskirts of Beijing, where the first season of "Where Are You Going, Dad" was filmed in the original time and space.
The photographer was obviously very careful, not only photographing the famous scenery of Lingshui Village, but also some characteristic ancient trees and various ancient temples were also recorded one by one, and even accompanied by a detailed introduction of thousands of words about the scenery and cultural heritage of this village.
Later, Nie Wei also saw the island that appeared in later seasons of the show, such as Mincheng Tan Island, leaning on the turquoise sea, with sandy beaches, stone-built houses, and fishing boats to fish.
There is also a village like Xingyi Village in Yungui, where there is a natural sinkhole, and the village has been established for hundreds of years, retaining many buildings of more than 100 years, as well as original farmland and fruit fields.
There are many similar ones, Nie Wei finished flipping through a photo album, and almost twenty minutes have passed.
"It's all good. Nie Wei exchanged the album to Ma Dong, and did not raise any objections to these filming locations, these locations that Ma Dong gave him already contained the customs and customs of all parts of the world, and the choices were also some ancient towns and villages that were not known to many people.
Since there is no repetition in the content and characteristics, Nie Wei naturally will not pick a bone in the egg, and insist on finding one or two dissatisfied ones, maybe some bosses will do this to show their sense of existence, but Nie Wei is not so boring.
"In the first quarter, let's choose eight filming locations, each shooting location will be cut two or three times, and I have a requirement that one of these eight filming locations should be abroad, whether it is in Asia or Europe and the United States, as the end of the first quarter, you should also remember to talk about this with the guests you want to invite. ”
"I was about to tell you, but I didn't expect you to speak first, don't worry, I'm ready. Ma Dong said with a smile.
"I'm going to talk about the cost now. Soon Ma Dong got the matter to the money, which was also the main purpose of his search for Nie Wei today.
"The first season is going to do about 20 episodes, and the invited guests are scheduled to be five groups, although the protagonist is a child, but the father is not very good if he is too famous, so including the child's performance fee, how can we invite guests The budget is 20 million. ”
"As for the filming costs in various places, we are negotiating with the local people about the issue of subsidies, but even in the best case, we will reserve about 20 million filming fees for this piece, and the program team must be equipped with an accompanying medical team, as well as vehicles and even tutors......
Ma Dong told Nie Wei every item spent, and finally told Nie Wei that the production cost of the twenty episodes of this show may be more than 80 million.
Hearing this number, Nie Wei felt that it was really cheap enough.
This money is mainly saved on the cost of guests, and the original time and space show is a terrible number just in the performance fee for inviting guests, but in this time and space, domestic variety shows, under the leadership of the stars, have not yet reached the point of deformity.
Especially the starry variety shows, which have always been based on variety shows and assisted by guests, unlike the original time and space, variety shows have not yet been established, and they must start finalizing the guests first, and they must be big-named, and then the program team will take the finalized guests to pull sponsorship, and those sponsors only look at the fame of the guests, and rarely watch the content of variety shows.
Officially because of this, the fees of those variety show guests in the original time and space are getting higher and higher, and they are all used to by the program team, so in this life, Nie Wei has been preparing to curb this unhealthy trend from the beginning, and Nie Wei of other companies can't control it, but the variety shows produced by his own company are all based on the benign standards set by Nie Wei.
This even leads the pricing standards of the entire industry, after all, no one wants to be wronged.
Therefore, if the performance fee is controlled, the overall production cost of the program has decreased significantly, but the quality has not decreased, but it is better, after all, Nie Wei has never been stingy in spending this part of the program team itself.
With Nie Wei's concept, only the most professional team can make the best program.
Therefore, the accompanying medical team, which does not appear in other program groups at all, is basically standard in the starry outdoor variety show, just to deal with some emergencies as soon as possible and ensure the life and health of the people participating in the performance.
Although more than 95% of these medical teams are idle, as long as they can play a role in those 5 percent, Nie Wei feels that the money is worth it.
"I can give you a quota of 80 million for the time being, and if there is anything else that needs to be spent during the filming process, we will talk about it then. Nie Wei nodded in approval of Ma Dong's expense application report.
The two sides have long had a tacit understanding in cooperation over the years, and since Ma Dong gave a production fee of 80 million, Nie Wei believes that he can use it in the show and make the desired effect.
Then the two discussed the issue of the guests.
Both of them agreed that Huang Lei and her daughter Duoduo must be finalized, first of all, Huang Lei showed an unusual variety show level in "Longing for Life", plus his cooking skills are also necessary, with these two points, Huang Lei is almost the undoubted candidate for the guests of this show.
"In addition to Huang Lei, there are also children like Jiang Wen, whose age is also very suitable, and Xie Tingfeng's children can also be, by the way, the age of the children of Brother Zhonglei's family is also enough, and when the time comes, I will help you ask him if he is willing to take his children to participate in this show. ”
The two were talking, when suddenly there was a knock on Ma Dong's office door.
"Mr. Nie, Mr. Ma. It was Ma Dong's assistant who came in, and he was obviously a little surprised when he saw Nie Wei, but he quickly came back to his senses and hurriedly said hello.
After asking, he said why he came.
"Mr. Ma, there is still a recording of the show this morning, the time is almost up, why don't you go downstairs first to put on makeup and change your clothes, and I will let the program team prepare. ”
"Okay. Ma Dong nodded and asked the assistant to go down and make arrangements.
Seeing this, Nie Wei also stood up and prepared to leave, but just as he was about to leave, he remembered one thing and asked Xiang Ma Dong: "What show do you want to record?"
"Super heart. Ma Dong said with a smile, hearing Nie Wei suddenly ask about the show, he thought he was interested, and immediately took the opportunity to invite: "Do you want to make a cameo?"
"Huh. Nie Wei smiled, not ready to answer Ma Dong's question.
However, when it came to "Super Heart", Nie Wei remembered it, it seems that the first variety show that the company's debut trainees selected in advance will be on this variety, but I don't know if it is the boys' side or the girls' side that will be arranged today.
"It's your new girl group called Red. Ma Dong replied, this kind of variety show has a script, and the guests to be invited must also have a good draft in advance, so Ma Dong basically remembers which one to invite, not to mention the new girl group launched by Huayi Company.
So when Nie Wei asked him, he gave an answer without even thinking about it.
"Then I'll go down with you. Nie Wei thought for a while and said.
After all, he already knew that it was his company's girl group that was going to record the show, and Nie Wei really didn't have a reason to avoid these girls, so it was easy for Nie Wei to go down to see them and say a good word or two, but it could make the girls live more smoothly in the show.
Ma Dong obviously guessed Nie Wei's thoughts, and his evaluation of this new girl group in his heart has improved by another level.
Obviously, this girl group is valued by Nie Wei, otherwise Nie Wei would not have deliberately stopped for a while to cheer up these girls, you must know that Nie Wei's time is quite precious.
Downstairs, Nie Wei followed Ma Dong to his exclusive lounge, where makeup artists and costume artists had been waiting for a long time.
Ma Dong's clothes are basically custom-made, after all, he has a special figure, after entering the house, the costume stylist has selected three sets of clothes for Ma Dong, Ma Dong casually pointed out a set and sat down in front of the dresser, letting the makeup artist touch his face.
Nie Wei refused the service of Ma Dong's assistant, and walked to the sofa on the side and sat down.
With Nie Wei's presence, the atmosphere in the lounge was obviously a little tense, whether it was the stylist who was sorting out the clothes on the side, or the makeup artist who helped Ma Dong put on makeup, or even the assistant who stopped Ma Dong, they all swept their eyes to Nie Wei intentionally or unintentionally.
Suddenly, Nie Wei stood up, except for Ma Dong, the rest of the people at the scene stopped their movements at the same time, and all looked at Nie Wei, everyone thought that Nie Wei was going to leave or have some orders, but they saw Nie Wei look at everyone strangely, and then walked to the refrigerator in the corner and took a bottle of mineral water from it.
"I'll leave in a moment. Nie Wei looked at these people with tears and laughter, there must be this, and his appearance seemed to make these people nervous.
When Ma Dong heard Nie Wei's words, he also understood the reaction of these people, and couldn't help laughing.
Ma Dong smiled and everyone was very embarrassed, but fortunately, the restrained atmosphere also dissipated a lot, seeing that Nie Wei really didn't care about his people, everyone could finally secretly breathe a sigh of relief, of course, they didn't dare to really relax like usual, they would always pay attention to their behavior.
Just as Nie Wei took a sip of water, and before he could tighten the cap of the bottle, he heard a knock on the door.
"Hello, we are Red from Huayi Entertainment, and I am Captain Song ...... "The people who entered the door were Song Qian, and the first thing they saw after entering the house was Ma Dong sitting in front of the dressing table, so under Zhang Dianfei's introduction, they hurriedly took a few partners to bow and say hello.
But just after introducing the name of the group together, Song Qian was about to start introducing herself according to the original design, but suddenly found a particularly familiar person sitting on the sofa in the corner of the lounge.
"Teacher!" Song Qian was so surprised that she forgot that she and Ma Dong were introducing herself, and called out directly, but startled a few people on the side who hadn't noticed Nie Wei yet.
Xu Jie had a terrible headache, thinking that this Song Qian was unreliable, and she was still the captain chosen by the company, why was she not stable at all, and what other teachers ...... Xu Jie resisted the urge to reprimand, but found that Song Qian's eyes were no longer on Ma Dong, but instead looked at the other side of the lounge.
Following Song Qian's gaze, Xu Jie was also stunned.
In fact, in just a few seconds, everyone found Nie Wei sitting on the sofa in the corner, and watching Nie Wei get up and walk over, everyone also understood the reason for Song Qian's gaffe.
"Let's introduce myself to Mr. Ma first. Nie Wei walked over, and the first sentence was said to Song Qian, and his tone was a little harsh.
But in the eyes of the rest, this is not a reprimand at all, it is completely to defend Song Qian.
If there is no Nie Wei's words, then Song Qian's gaffe just now is disrespecting her predecessors, no matter what the reason, if someone has a heart to say it, with Ma Dong's good reputation inside and outside the circle, I am afraid that Song Qian will recruit a lot of black.
But with Nie Wei's words, the relationship between this girl and Ma Dong was redefined at once, and the tolerance between the teacher and the student was much higher, which not only helped the girl group get closer to Ma Dong, but also rounded up the previous gaffe.
For a moment, everyone in the room looked enviously at the three girls standing there.
