Chapter 52: The Red Wolves come to record the show
Just after October, the temperature cooled.
The autumn rain is dripping, and the Red Maple Cemetery in the suburbs is particularly sparsely populated and deserted.
Rong Feifei knelt in front of the tombstone and cried for half an hour, the yellow table paper in the brazier next to her had been burned through, the incense candles on the altar emitted wisps of green smoke, the autumn rain wet her hair and clothes, tears and rain mixed with dripping, and sadness spread around.
Her body is cold, and even cooler is her heart, it's been a whole year, her dearest parents, mothers and brothers, a year ago, the three of them left her almost at the same time, she once thought that she was abandoned by the world, she was the most unfortunate child in the world.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Yang An picked up Rong Feifei, took out a towel with body temperature from her jacket, wiped the water on her face and hair, took off her jacket and draped it on top of her head, and said pityingly: "Let's go, they are all watching from the sky, don't you want you to be happy and happy?" If they see you like this, they will be even sadder. ”
Rong Feifei couldn't shed tears anymore, she leaned weakly on Yang An's arm, and it wasn't until she got into the car and drank the hot ginger tea that Yang An handed over that she felt better.
After the anniversary festival of her parents and brother, Rong Feifei seemed to have been drained of all her strength, and she was listless, and she didn't want to eat or move for several days.
Yang An can only take the time to help her terminate the contract from Purple Moon Records, get out of the Heat Band, and hire a nurse to take care of her, as long as she has time, she will definitely bring the delicious food made by her mother to see her.
No way, Yang An has been too busy recently, working overtime almost every day, and the number of times he comes to see Rong Feifei is also very few.
"Jianghu Jokes" has changed a lot since it was recruited nationwide.
The host has increased by two, the fixed comedian has increased by four, and the screenwriter is also four, and the laughing brothers in Yang An's mind have finally been assembled, such a huge lineup is to make the "Jianghu Jokes" broadcast on Sunday night in prime time into a super funny variety show that is really popular nationwide!
The two-hour program is much richer in content, Yang An designed a part of it himself, and the new team thought of a few good ideas, and after everyone ran in for a few episodes, it was almost fixed.
During the one-month adjustment period, "Jianghu Laughter" only used two episodes, and the ratings stabilized to about 1.2%.
But if you want to go up, it will be very difficult, and Yang An obviously feels the bottleneck.
He knows very well that the problem lies with himself, because "Jianghu Laughter" is an incomplete "We All Love to Laugh", which only has a form, but no soul.
The laughing brothers in the genuine laughing conference room are the real core of the show, Da Pan, Jiajia, Sister Xu, Ran Ran, Debai, Feilong, and many more, they have created a lot of wonderful comedy programs, they support the entire program structure, and excellent actors are the real soul of a show.
Looking at this side again, the background of "Jianghu Jokes" is poor, Yang An can't even find a fixed comedian to play in the sketch drama, all he has is creativity, and the idea is quite fresh when it first comes out, and it will have no effect after a long time.
For example, "Laughing and Slippery", "Laughing and Talking about the Mirror House", how many TV variety shows are copying and plagiarizing across the country?
What is "God-level Imitation Show", that is, complete plagiarism, "Do You Dare to Learn from Me" is a little face-picking, the guests still have the right to learn or not to learn, "Anti-String House" borrowed Yang An's creativity, male guests learn the actions of female MCs, female guests learn the actions of male MCs, all kinds of similar variety shows have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, so many that Yang An can't count them, anyway, the audience can change a station casually, and the content they see is almost the same, and after a long time, the audience will get tired of watching it.
Although the ratings of "Jianghu Jokes" have encountered a bottleneck, in the eyes of industry insiders, they are still a new force that cannot be underestimated, and they are variety shows with unlimited potential.
Because of Yang An's catfish, the top three programs of Red Maple Satellite TV are all running wildly, and the invisible pressure brought by Yang An has forced every crew to be miserable.
The highest rating of "Wheel of Fortune" exceeded 1.5%, although only once.
The ratings of "An Date with Chen Yu" are stable at 1.34%, which is not a big increase, but the audience is extremely sticky.
The ratings of "Happy Saturday" remained stable at 1.31%, and the new revision also burst out with energy.
Other programs below 1%, as long as there are still self-motivated, they are all working hard, if anyone is lazy, others will laugh at them, saying: "Yang An has increased the ratings of "Jianghu Laughter" from 0.3% to 1.2% in three months, a full four times, can your crew rest with peace of mind?" Let's work overtime! ”
Enron Film and Television Entertainment Company, more than 30 employees gathered together and applauded.
"Thank you! Thank you! It is my honor that Duan Haishan can fight with you again! ”
Duan Haishan clenched his fists and saluted the surroundings, and everyone did not hesitate to give applause to the experienced old director.
Yang An walked out, holding a medal in his hand, and handed it to Duan Haishan with a smile: "Director Duan, what do you think this is?" ”
Duan Haishan became excited, how could he not know this medal?
"The ratings exceeded 1.5%...... Medals issued by radio and television media...... How could I not recognize? ”
Duan Haishan handed over the medal to Yang An when he left "Jokes in the Rivers and Lakes", and now that Yang An has returned it, how can he not understand Yang An's good intentions?
Yang An loudly introduced the origin of this medal to his colleagues, saying: "Now that Director Duan is back and is back at the helm of "Jianghu Laughter", my main energy in the future will be on the script. I am now announcing that tomorrow's episode will be recorded with a new program structure to strive for another peak of ratings! ”
The applause was thunderous, and the new colleagues were enthusiastic, as if they couldn't wait for this day.
After the others dispersed, only Duan Haishan and Yang An remained.
Duan Haishan smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Yang, are you determined to squeeze my old bones?" I just retired from the station yesterday, and I'm here to report today, and I'll record the show tomorrow? ”
Yang An smiled and said: "Capitalists are like this, if they can take advantage of workers, they will never miss the opportunity." The next guest is the Red Wolf Band, scheduled to be broadcast on November 11th, this is the biggest guest in November, whether our ratings can reach more than 1.3%, or even more than "Happy Saturday", it depends on this move! ”
Duan Haishan shook his head: "You young people, you are still aggressive in your bones, how long have you been fighting with Huangshan?" ”
Yang An sneered: "I have never taken the initiative to provoke one party, he is plotting my show, I just protect myself." Besides, there are so many TV resources, how many people are competing for it, how can we young people come out and not be fierce? Survival of the fittest, the law of nature. ”
Duan Haishan said: "Okay, I can't say you, you are the boss, I just do things!" ”
Yang An hurriedly said: "Oh, don't say that, how did you criticize me before, you will continue to beat and scold in the future!" ”
Duan Haishan smiled: "You Xiao Yang!" ”
The next day, Yang An deliberately drove Rong Feifei to the company and waited in the hall downstairs, this girl has been curled up at home for several days, and if she doesn't go out, she will be moldy.
"Hey, cheer up, you have to play in this episode of the show, the guest is the Red Wolf Band, Huang Xiao is most afraid of you, I still count on you to support me!"
Rong Feifei clutched her bangs and smiled reluctantly: "It's they who are coming, anyway, after recording the show, don't drink too much!" ”
Yang An said: "Do you think I like to drink? Hey, their car is coming, let's pick it up. ”
The Red Wolf Band and his party sat in a big business car, and the five people plus the agent were all there, Yang An smiled and hugged a few people, shushed the cold and asked for warmth, and invited people to the company.
"Yo, Fei Fei is here too?" Huang Xiao teased Rong Feifei, but his eyes were sharp, and he found that Rong Feifei seemed to be thinner than before, and asked with concern: "Feifei, you have lost weight like this, are you still losing weight?" Yang An can't like a skeleton, right? ”
Rong Feifei sneered, and Yang An explained in a low voice: "Feifei, she is not in a high mood these days, she has lost a little weight, but I solemnly declare, I don't like skeletons, a little bit of flesh, is my favorite!" ”
Oh oh oh ~
All the men suddenly realized and laughed ambiguously.
Huang Xiao knew a little about what happened to Rong Feifei, so he didn't dare to tease the little girl anymore, and covered up the past with haha.
Getting to the point, Yang An introduced the new team to the Red Wolf Band and said: "Today's recording is the program that will be broadcast on November 11, two weeks in advance, so I may have some adjustments when recording the program, so everyone can pay attention to it." Then, here's our recording plan for today, 2 hours of program, we have six parts, to record all day, everyone worked hard! ”
Huang Xiao waved his hand and said, "On your thief ship, our brothers never wanted to come down alive!" If you want to kill or chop, come on! ”
Yang An laughed: "Okay, let's start with the first part, the opening song, I want to rehearse a song with you, called "Wolf". ”
"Wolves?"
None of you have heard it, what song is this?
Huang Xiao was puzzled: "Whose song is this?" ”
Yang An pointed at himself, and then pointed at Huang Xiao: "I wrote it for you." ”
Song?
Songs written by Yang An?
A few people in the Red Wolf Band were stunned for a moment, and then immediately rejoiced, and Huang Xiao's eyes lit up: "The new song you wrote for us is called "Wolf"? It's the same as our band's name, Red Wolf, haha, Brother Yang, what do you mean by that? This is not going to give us a notice fee, and use the song to pay off the debt, right? ”
Yang An smiled: "That's right, as soon as I come, Mr. Huang will give face to participate in my show, I can't help but express it, right?" I don't have any money, and I still have two copper plates left in my pocket, so I can only write songs to pay off my debts. ”
Huang Xiao heard the taste: "What about the second?" ”
Yang An looked at Rong Feifei: "Second, Fei Fei has just terminated her contract with the Heat and flew solo, she is a very good singer, I want to ask Mr. Huang to help introduce a few more reliable people and form a band." We don't sign any record companies anymore, we just play by ourselves, sing our own songs, do accompaniment to the show, go out for commercial performances when we are in a good mood, and rest at home when we are in a bad mood, which is an employee of my company. ”
Rong Feifei was stunned, Yang An didn't tell her about it, but she didn't have to go to various places to run commercial performances, and she didn't have to be restricted by the record company, and she could also do shows with Yang An, she was very satisfied, Yang An had thought about everything for her, and she felt warm.
Huang Xiao gave a thumbs up: "No problem, this matter is on me, after the excerpt is over, let's go to Zhongjing to find someone." Come on, come on, "Wolf" right? Let's go, let's go! ”
