Chapter 3 Crew and Auditions

Two days have passed, Li Mu feels deeply powerless, in the past two days, he has gone to more than a dozen companies, none of them are willing to sponsor his program, and when others hear a program he has never heard of, it is tens of millions of sponsorships, and he will drive people away without saying a word.

Just when he was starting to despair, Xia Yun walked away, and I came over to him and said, "Muzi, I told you about your affairs with our family Suifeng. He's interested in your show and wants to meet you, do you have time for lunch? ”

Hearing Xia Yun's words, Li Mu was as excited as a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw. He grabbed Xia Yun's hand and said excitedly, "Sister Yun, are you true, thank you so much." I... I'm so excited. ”

"Look at you, you can't speak clearly, my sister can still lie to you, you can go to his company to find him at noon. I won't go if you talk about things. After speaking, Xia Yun gently withdrew the hand that was held tightly by Li Mu, and the blush on his face had not faded.

Tomato Video is one of the earliest video websites established in Huaxia. At its peak, it occupied half of the Huaxia video website industry.

But the good times didn't last long, and with the development of technology, more and more people are used to watching videos online. In the face of an increasingly huge market, more than a dozen video websites have emerged in just a few years. The situation of Tomato Video dominance no longer exists, and even now registered users can't even rank in the top five.

Xia Yun's husband, Li Suifeng, is the son of the chairman of Tomato Video and now serves as the general manager of Tomato Video.

At noon, Li Mu came to Tomato Video, explained his intention to the front desk, and was taken to a small conference room. The front desk MM poured him a cup of coffee and asked him to wait a bit.

Li Mu thanked MM at the front desk, and then thought in his heart, what to say to Li Suifeng.

About ten minutes later, Li Suifeng knocked on the door and entered.

It was the first time Li Mu saw Xia Yun's husband, and he couldn't help but look at it carefully. The man in front of him looked ordinary, but he looked calm and determined.

Li Suifeng was also observing Li Mu in front of him, last night Xia Yun told him about sponsorship and he was a little scoffed, what kind of good show can a young man in his twenties make, until Xia Yun told him the details of the program that he began to pay attention to it, and after thinking about it for a long time, he felt more and more that this show called "Who Can Be a Millionaire" was promising. At the same time, I was curious about what kind of person could come up with such a good idea, which led to today's meeting.

"Hello Mr. Li, I'm Li Mu." Li Mu took the initiative to stand up and say hello.

"Don't call Mr. Li, call me Brother Li. I'll call you Muzi like Xia Yun. Li Suifeng said with a smile.

"Then I'll call you Brother Li, I heard Sister Yun say that you want to sponsor my show, right?" Li Mu said what he was most concerned about.

"Xia Yun told me about you yesterday, I think your show is very creative, but I have one condition." Li Suifeng said.

Hearing Li Suifeng say that Li Mu was very happy, he would explain that there were some talks, so he asked: "Brother Li, if you have any conditions, I will try my best to meet them." ”

"I want the exclusive webcast right of the program, and I will pay a maximum of 10 million for the bonus of the program, and your TV station will bear the excess part." Li Suifeng put forward his own conditions.

Without the approval of the director, Li Muke did not dare to agree to any conditions, so he proposed to ask the leader for instructions.

Li Suifeng said that there was no problem, as long as he agreed to his conditions, he could sign the contract at any time. The two chatted together for a while, and Li Mu talked about some of the plans related to video websites in the other world in his memory, which immediately aroused Li Suifeng's interest. After chatting until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mu said goodbye and left.

Back at the TV station, Li Mu found Director Zhou and told Li Suifeng's conditions, and Director Zhou took him to see Director Wang after hearing it.

In the director's office, Director Wang called the directors and deputy directors of several departments after listening to Li Mu's report. After several people discussed for a while, Director Wang decided to agree to Li Suifeng's conditions.

"Xiao Li, you go and reply to Mr. Li, we agreed to his conditions, please ask him to sign the contract as soon as possible. You can start to set up a program group, you can choose any person from the whole TV station, and you can check Lao Zhou. Wang Taichang spoke.

The directors of several departments also hurriedly assured that they would cooperate.

Hearing that the director supported him so much, Li Mu was very moved, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the director's trust, I will definitely do a good job in the program and live up to your expectations." ”

After speaking, Li Mu went out with Director Zhou. Although he is now a producer, he doesn't know anything about directors, photographers, and gaffers, so he can only ask Director Zhou for help.

"Director, you see that I haven't been in the TV station for a long time, can you give me some guidance about the program team?"

"That's easy to say, I'll recommend some people to you, you just go to them directly." Director Zhou said and wrote the names of several people on the paper.

After taking the list in Director Zhou's hand, Li Mu did not go directly to find someone, but first called Li Suifeng and asked him to have time to sign the contract.

The sponsorship matter was completely resolved, and Li Mu took the list and began to invite people one by one. It took more than an hour to find all the people on the list. Except for the director of the program team, the others are all young people, and the director in his forties is also an honest man, because he is not very good at speaking, and many times he can only be a photographer. This also made Li Mu much easier to manage, and also made him more and more grateful to Director Zhou.

took the people from the program team, Xia Yun and Zhou Hui to the studio, assigned tasks to everyone and began to set up the studio. And I started to prepare for the question.

At this time, someone came to tell Li Mu that He Yimin, the assistant to the deputy director of Taiwan, was outside and wanted to see him.

As the assistant to Deputy Director He in charge of infrastructure, program production, personnel, and discipline inspection, Tang Feng has always been above the top. This time, Deputy Director He asked him to invite a small producer, and he had to be friendly, which Tang Feng was very dissatisfied with.

However, since Deputy Director He spoke, he still had to come, and it was not easy for him to sit as the assistant to the deputy director, and when he saw Li Mu come out, he immediately put on a smiling face and said: "Li Mu, hello, I am Tang Feng, assistant to Deputy Director He, I don't know if you have time now." ”

Li Mu hadn't dealt with Tang Feng before, so he said politely, "Assistant Tang, if you have anything to do, just say it." ”

"That's the case, Deputy Director He has something to ask me to ask you to come over, if you're okay, can you come over with me now." Tang Feng said.

"Deputy Director He summoned me, then I must have time, Assistant Tang, let's go" Although I don't know what Deputy Director He is looking for at this time, but everyone has come to invite him, and it is not okay if he doesn't go.

"Then let's go, Deputy Director He is still waiting, but don't call me Assistant Tang, just call me by name." Tang Feng said.

"Then I'll call you Brother Feng, you can just call me Muzi, my friends call me that." Li Muke didn't dare to call his name directly.

The two came to the door of Deputy Director He's office.

Tang Feng knocked on the door lightly and entered: "Director, Li Mu is here." ”

Deputy Director He responded.

Tang Feng motioned for Li Mu to come in, and then went out and closed the door himself.

Although this is just a small detail, Li Mu feels that this Tang assistant is not simple.

Li Mu walked in and said to Deputy Director He: "Director He, are you looking for me?" ”

As the No. 1 deputy director, He Yimin is just 40 years old this year, in the prime of life, coupled with a long time in a high position, he looks not angry and arrogant.

"Xiao Li, how is the preparation of the show, the station attaches great importance to your show, come to me if you have any questions." Seeing Li Mu coming in, He Yimin raised his head and said.

"Thank you for your concern, the preparation of the program is going well, if you have any questions, I will trouble you then." Some don't understand why Deputy Director He cares so much about his program.

"Is there a candidate for your show host, if it hasn't been decided, I'll recommend someone, what do you think of Chu Fei." He Yimin said what he meant directly.

Chu Fei is said to be the niece of Deputy Director He and the host of a music program in the station, and the program is nothing new, but with the existence of Chu Fei, the TV station's flower, the ratings have always been good.

It's hard to do now, this show is Li Mu's first show, he must ensure 100% success, and the host is ready to go on himself. But the second person on the opposite side of the TV station, if he refutes his face, it will be difficult in the future.

After weighing it in his heart, Li Mu still decided to refuse Deputy Director He: "Thank you for your kindness, but I am ready to be the host of the show myself, after all, I planned the show, and I know how to host to attract the audience's interest." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Mu cautiously observed Deputy Director He's expression.

"Oh so, then forget it, I just mentioned it casually, it's nothing, you go get busy." Deputy Director He said with an unchanged expression.

Seeing that Deputy Director He was not displeased, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, but he faintly felt in his heart that things were not so simple.

Li Mu said goodbye to Deputy Director He and went out. What Li Mu didn't know was that when he saw Li Mu go out, a trace of gloom flashed in Deputy Director He's eyes.

In addition to the office, Li Mu doesn't think so much in his heart, now the main thing is to do a good job of the show, and everything will be talked about later.

At this time, the official website of the TV station also published an audition announcement.

When Jiangnan TV released the announcement, it was immediately discovered by sharp-eyed netizens, and it spread throughout the entire network in just half an hour, causing a sensation. Various forums and post bars are full of posts discussing "Who can become a millionaire".

Of course, not all netizens believe it.

"Is today April Fool's Day, you can win a million prizes by answering fifteen questions correctly, anyway, I don't believe it."

"It's just a gimmick, looking at a million, when the time comes, there will be some perverted questions, who can answer them!"

"One million shouldn't let you take it so easily, but if you answer ten questions correctly, you'll get 60,000 yuan, which is my salary for a year."

"There's money upstairs, and it's rich to chase girls with a salary of 1,000.

"If it's true, I want to try, I'm going to get married or I'm renting a house, although my girlfriend doesn't care, I still want to give him a stable home.

......

The reaction on the Internet was mixed, and most netizens were on the sidelines.

Until Tomato Video and TV stations released promotional advertisements at the same time.

"Are you still worried about money, come and participate in "Who Can Be a Millionaire", the next millionaire is you, please send your personal information and contact information to the official email of Jiangnan TV within an hour after the advertisement is broadcast."

Simple and clear advertising, the audience believes it.

So, whether it's a TV or a computer, as long as they see this advertisement, they immediately sign up. Fill in your personal information and contact information and send it to the official email of Jiangnan TV.

Within an hour of the advertisement, the TV station received more than 60,000 emails, and the staff randomly selected five contestants of different ages and occupations according to Li Mu's request. Then they called to inform them that the show would start live at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday night.

"Wife, I'm chosen, I'm chosen...... As long as I get a million... Even if it's only 250,000 yuan, we can have our own house and never have to live in this small room anymore, you have suffered all these years! A man in his thirties in a third-tier city said excitedly to his wife.

Men who don't have a house are miserable!

……

Time passed day by day.

At seven o'clock on Saturday night, the live audience and contestants were ready. The program team is making final preparations, and the leaders of the TV station are here, and whether this program, which they have high hopes for, can succeed depends on tonight.

Time passed minute by minute, and after confirming that there were no problems in all links, Li Mu announced the start of the live broadcast.

At the same time, Tomato Video is also ready for simultaneous live broadcast, and under the gaze of countless viewers, Li Mu's debut show "Who Can Be a Millionaire" was officially launched!
