After more than two weeks, Chen Mingyi finally found Yang Yang.

"There were three brands interested in our show, but none of them had a lot of sponsorship money. Chen Mingyi looked a little sad, he really felt that if the plan in hand was done well, it would definitely catch fire, but the problem was that few sponsors were willing to take this risk.

A few years ago, there was a similar celebrity reality show, and it was really popular when it was first broadcast, but it was scolded by the audience after two episodes: "false", "made", "just watching the stars travel everywhere, boring". ”... The word-of-mouth explosion of the show even caused the sponsors' investment to lose all their money, and in the end it had to be stopped.

Chen Mingyi has analyzed the reasons, the key to the failure of the previous show is that the celebrity guests have participated in more indoor variety shows, and they are used to making money comfortably, so they are not willing to work hard in the show at all, and they even have to be substitutes to play individual strength games, so it is strange not to be scolded by the audience.

He told the sponsors all this, but still not many people are willing to waste their energy on it, to put it bluntly, it is because of one point - the investment is too high, the return is too small, and the risk is too great.

Yang Yang was vaccinated by Zhang Bai, but he was not too disappointed, and asked: "Then how much money is there now?" ”

Chen Mingyi said: "The TV station gave 1 million, and the three sponsors added up to 1.1 million, a total of 2.1 million. ”

"That's it?!" Yang Yang frowned.

Don't look at more than two million, there are not many at all. This amount of money may not be enough to pay the appearance fee of the star.

In Yang Yang and Chen Mingyi's assumptions, "Three Days and Two Nights" needs at least a pair of long-term fixed star hosts, and two different sets of celebrity guests in each issue, plus the production cost, more than two million may not even be enough for the production of one episode.

Chen Mingyi smiled bitterly and said: "No way, the sponsors with money are not interested, and those who are interested have no money." The sponsorship of more than one million is a few outdoor sports merchants, and the brand reputation is not very large. ”

Yang Yang thought about it carefully, and then asked Chen Mingyi, "Brother Chen, do you have confidence in this show?"

Chen Mingyi thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said: "I'll tell you directly, I already plan to pay for the first episode to be recorded first." If the response to the first episode of the program is good, there is no need to worry about the follow-up sponsorship, and naturally a lot of money will take the initiative to find us. ”

Yang Yang was really a little surprised this time. I didn't expect Chen Mingyi to be so decisive, this is the rhythm of success if you don't succeed.

"And how much money are you going to pay?"

Chen Mingyi hesitated for a moment and said: "I have almost one million in my own deposit, and then I can offset the house in the magic capital, and it should be no problem to make up three million." ”

"Otherwise. Yang Yang opened his mouth and said: "Brother Chen, don't move your house, you take one million, I will take one million out, plus the one million from the TV station." The budget for the first episode of the program is three million, which should be almost enough. As for the sponsorship of those small brands, it is not bad for their money. ”

"You're also going to pay for it yourself?" Chen Mingyi was taken aback.

Yang Yang nodded: "This idea was also put forward by me, in case it is really not feasible, you can't watch Brother Chen lose money alone." ”

When Yang Yang said this, Chen Mingyi was moved. In fact, Yang Yang's mind is not so selfless, in his previous life, outdoor reality shows were flooded, he could almost foresee that this was a feasible path, and he invested money with absolute certainty, in order to get a piece of the pie.

Chen Mingyi held Yang Yang's hand a little excitedly and said, "Okay, this million is considered to be your share." ”

Yang Yang smiled and nodded: "Then Brother Chen, tell me the details again, so that I can have a bottom." ”

"Oh yes. The budget for the first episode of the program is in place, Chen Mingyi is also a little confident, and the whole person's spirit is up, he said: "I plan to invite Liu Shi and Song Qingmiao to host the resident star." Liu Shi has hosted emotional variety shows for five years before, whether it is emotional intelligence or typhoon, he is very good, he can hold the scene, and his conversation is also very humorous, but his image is not very good. ”

"Song Qingmiao was born as an actor and has begun to develop as a host in recent years. This girl can play well, will be self-black, has no baggage, and is deeply liked by many audiences. ”

"As for the celebrity guests in the first issue, you count one, and there are another man and two women, because the budget has not been determined, I haven't thought about it yet..."

Chen Mingyi expressed his considerations, and Yang Yang read the information of the two people he recommended, which is still very in line with the temperament of "Three Days and Two Nights". These two people are not very famous, but their face familiarity in the audience is not low, and both of them belong to the kind of people who work hard in a down-to-earth style, and if they can be paid satisfactorily, they should work very hard.

"This Liu Shi is a little older than Song Qingmiao, and the composition of CP may not be very compatible, I think there is a slightly younger male host. Yang Yang proposed.

Chen Mingyi considered Yang Yang's suggestion for a while, and nodded thoughtfully: "I didn't expect this, but in this way, the budget will be increased again." ”

"You don't have to worry about that. Yang Yang suddenly smiled and said confidently: "I promise you, absolute big-name stars, and the budget will definitely not be exceeded." ”

Chen Mingyi opened his mouth slightly, his eyes blinked, and he was surprised like a fish out of water.

"Brother Chen, why don't you go to the neighborhood for inspection and choose a suitable place with good scenery in the next few days. I'll let you know when someone from my side gets in touch?"

Chen Mingyi nodded, Yang Yang is not like the kind of person who talks in the air, since he said that he has a way, he will be responsible for this matter.

"Then I'll wait for your call. ”

Yang Yang sent Chen Mingyi away, picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Brother Deng? It's me, Yang Yang. Have you been available lately?... I want to ask you out for a meal. ”

That's right, Yang Yang sifted through his circle of friends, the relationship is good, and his fame can keep up, so he can only be the group of people he met in "The Legend of Xu Shaolian".

Three days later, Yang Yang waited early at the hotel where he had made an appointment.

The first one to arrive was Wu Yi, he has changed a little bit recently, his skin has become darker, he has shaved a bright bald head, and when he saw Yang Yang from afar, he cracked his mouth and smiled, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, and the whole person looked a lot more sunny and confident.

"Yang'er. Wu Yi walked up to Yang Yang and shouted happily.

Yang Yang hadn't seen him for a long time, and he was happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Why did you shave your hair?"

Wu Yi touched his head and said, "Recently, I took over a monk's play, and the role is required." ”

"What is the male number?" Yang Yang asked curiously.

Wu Yi smiled innocently, stretched out his hand and gestured three fingers, and said with a little pride: "Male three." ”

"Not bad. Yang Yang was also happy for him.

"Well, I'm tired, but I'm earning a lot more than before. Wu Yi's eyebrows were full of satisfaction that could not be hidden.

"Oh yes, Yang'er. Wu Yi suddenly came up excitedly and said, "I heard that one of your plays has won awards abroad." ”

Yang Yang smiled and was about to speak, when a voice came from behind Wu Yi.

"What are you talking about, so happy?"

Listening to this hearty voice, Yang Yang could guess without looking at it that it was Deng Shao who came.
