Yang An checked all his bank cards and wealth management products, and sadly found that the assets were only more than 10,000 yuan.

"Mom, I'll come back for dinner today."

My mother was playing mahjong, and when she heard this, she stopped playing the cards, and was surprised: "Son, are you coming back for the weekend?" Alas, you tell me honestly, are you out of money again? ”

There was a faint laughter from the players on the phone, and Yang An's face was feverish: "Mom, can you give some face?" Can we have a good weekend together? I really want to accompany you to Qingshan Reservoir for two days, how about it? ”

The old mother laughed: "You are my son, I know what you eat at noon when you fart!" Come back from work, I'll call your dad right now! Ladies and gentlemen, I want to go back and cook a big meal for my son! ”

Yang An's parents live in Hong'an, a satellite city of Hongfeng City, and it takes him an hour to take the intercity light rail train, and as soon as he got out of the light rail station, he saw his father waving his arms and calling his name.

Yang An ran over: "Dad, why are you here?" ”

Dad smiled: "It's not good to take a taxi during the rush hour, so my uncle and I will pick you up." ”

The two came to the parking lot, and the uncle was sitting in the co-pilot waiting, Yang An laughed: "Yo, uncle, your old driver accompanied the whole process?" ”

Uncle said solemnly: "You wear a seat belt, you don't know how scary your dad is driving, I can't wait to add a foot brake to the co-pilot, step on it at any time!" ”

Yang An laughed, my father just got his driver's license for a month, and it happened that my colleague's family had a domestic car that had been bought for less than a year and was eliminated, and he took over with great interest, but unfortunately he seriously lacked experience on the road, and it was now the rush hour after work, driving carefully, not much faster than passers-by on bicycles, and sweating nervously.

It was almost seven o'clock when the three of them came home, and when my aunt opened the door, she praised and said, "Yang An, why are you handsome again!" ”

Yang An called out to his aunt and said with a smile: "I put on light makeup in the morning, aunt, you are still so young and beautiful!" ”

My aunt smiled from ear to ear: "I'm almost fifty years old, and I'm still young and beautiful, look at your sweet mouth, like smeared honey!" Hurry up and wash your hands, your mom just made your favorite braised prawns! ”

Yang An washed his hands, went to the kitchen to help his mother serve food, and the five of them sat around the square table, poured liquor and drinks, and began to feast.

My mother handed over the disposable gloves for eating shrimp and asked, "My aunt said that you put on makeup, what makeup do you need?" Aren't you following the crew to do chores? ”

Yang An said: "I am now the chief director, and I am still the host of the show." By the way, did you watch last week's "Jokes"? I also showed my face on camera and played a small role. ”

Dad put down his wine glass and asked suspiciously, "Wait a while, you will be the chief director?" Still a host? ”

Yang An nodded: "Yes, I forgot to tell you." Since last week, "Jianghu Jokes" has been revised, and I am in charge of "Jokes and Slippery", and this week something happened to the program team, so I was ordered to become the chief director and the host. ”

Then he roughly told him what had happened in the past two weeks, and after his aunt heard it, she patted Yang An's shoulder and laughed: "Ouch, I said Xiao An, you are really out of breath!" There is even a director talent in our family, "Laughter in the Rivers and Lakes", right, I remember that this show is not very good-looking, but it can't be said to be ugly, how is the effect of your revision? ”

Yang An smiled: "The effect is so-so, the ratings of the last issue have increased by 20% compared to before taking over, and I estimate that there will be a 20% increase in this issue, anyway, the old tree has bloomed and been reborn again." Alas, are you my elders, you don't watch the show on Sundays, support my ratings? ”

"It's such a boring show, I'm too lazy to watch it!" Aunt and Yang An laughed and quarreled.

Dad asked, "After you became the chief director, how did you solve the problem?" Is it a contract worker to a permanent worker? Have wages gone up? What about benefits? ”

Yang An took off his gloves, put down his chopsticks, and said formally: "That's why I'm back today, I want to become an independent producer and set up a film and television production company, let me first explain to you what is the separation of production and broadcasting." ”

It is not difficult to set up an independent film and television production company, many old TV people who have worked in TV stations for more than ten years have more or less the idea of going out to start a business, especially those backbone workers with strong ability, deep connections, rich resources, as long as there is a good idea, coupled with a certain opportunity and courage, most of them can break into a little fame.

Yang An said: "Taili wanted to convert me into a career establishment, but I didn't agree. I have a few good ideas, as long as they are used in the show, I believe that in less than half a year, the ratings will definitely exceed 1%, what is this concept? The third-ranked variety show on Red Maple Satellite TV is "Happy Saturday", with an audience rating of only about 1.2%. ”

The uncle asked, "You mean, you want to set up a company, contract this program, and then sell it to a TV station for broadcast, don't you?" ”

Yang An nodded: "Yes, the compilation is like a tight mantra, which sounds good but has many restrictions." So I had to first terminate my contract, give up the editing, and really become an independent producer. ”

Uncle said: "I don't agree, you have no experience, director, host, producer, you have just started learning, how do you know if the show is popular or not, whether it is good or not?" ”

Yang An is helpless, he can't say, I do know what the most mature and excellent variety shows are, and I also know which ones are popular and which ones are not good-looking, right?

Uncle said: "Secondly, you are not famous now, and you have no connections, even if you make a program at that time, you have to say whether the TV station will broadcast your program or not, even if you work hard to get the opportunity to broadcast, in case the TV station pinches you to play, the production fee is not paid, the advertising fee is a yin and yang contract, or sues you for infringement or something, you don't even have a chance to resist." ”

Yang An is very confident in this: "Don't worry, a good show is like gold, it will shine." There are so many TV stations in the country, and Hongfeng Satellite TV doesn't accept them, so I go to other places, and there is always a TV station that is willing to accept it. ”

Uncle shook his head: "I still suggest that you work steadily, first turn into a regular worker with an organization, sit firmly in the position of director, make achievements in "Laughter and Conversations", and make a name for yourself." In the future, when you are ready in all aspects, your connections, funds, and experience are all in place, it is not too late for you to leave the TV station and go it alone. ”

My aunt chimed in: "Xiao An, I think what your uncle said is very reasonable. In these years, how difficult it is for you to get a public institution establishment! A colleague of mine, her son is going to enter the Red Maple City Meteorological Bureau this year, asking people everywhere to find relationships, and more than 100,000 yuan up and down, and finally got a monthly salary of more than 2,000 yuan, but everyone said that she earned it, because the meteorological bureau is idle, drought and flood protection, there is financial allocation, and there may be welfare in the future. Your Red Maple TV station is much better than the Meteorological Bureau, right? I dare say that you can't buy this position for 500,000 yuan! ”

After all, my mother is a woman, and I just want to see her son healthy and happy, so she also persuaded: "Yes, you are a director, with a monthly salary of nearly 10,000 yuan, and the TV station is a good unit, I don't know how many excellent girls are willing to associate with you." You will spend three or five years getting married and having children, doing a good job in the show, and when you become famous in the circle, it will not be too late to change jobs when the time comes. ”

It's three to one, Yang An has long thought about this kind of ending.

To be honest, half a month ago, his biggest wish in life was to be a small director, or a producer, with a salary higher than the average salary, and to find an opportunity to uncover the rules of third-tier and fourth-tier female artists.

But now it's completely different, he has too many variety shows in his head, and his memory is very good, some of the things he watched in his previous life, whether it's a show, or a song, he can remember it now, if he is still trapped in a corner of the TV station, it will be too worthless.

Especially the "Love Laughter" series, this is the first classic variety show that Yang An came up with, he really doesn't want the TV station to pick up this cheap in vain, and when he becomes famous in the future, in case it is rumored that the famous producer Yang An's first classic variety show "Jianghu Laughter" has a naming fee of only 1.5 million a year, he can't afford to lose this person, the start is too low, and it will be difficult to raise the price in the future.

There is still his father left, and Yang An is looking forward to his father supporting him.

Dad said: "The establishment of the TV station is not necessarily good, you are not from the government unit, and you don't understand how dark it is." Xiao An also mentioned just now that the person named Li Yang, as well as the group of people behind Li Yang, are not good people, even if Xiao An becomes the chief director, if the TV station wants to pinch him, he can empty his power at any time. ”

Yang An was overjoyed: "That's right, Dad, that's what I mean, no one in the DPRK is not an official, if I enter the establishment, an executive order can make all my hard work go down the drain." My show must be my master! ”

Dad said: "Let me ask you, how much does it cost you to open a film and television production company and run it?" ”

Yang An carefully calculated: "Close to 100,000 smaller." ”

Slippery, mirror house and dark room, these three are mainly prop layouts, and many props can be recycled, the first phase of the total is no more than 3,000 yuan, a month is 10,000, and other unit plays, stage plays, interview links, talk shows don't cost much.

The biggest expense is personnel salaries and equipment leasing, light cameras will be leased more than five, personnel salaries will be opened to forty or fifty thousand a month, invite artists who are not big coffees to come, a notice fee of up to 5,000 yuan, some third-tier and fourth-tier artists don't even have to pay, plus entertainment expenses, water and electricity rent, etc., so a small 100,000 a month is a must.

Dad asked again: "You want to be a producer, a director, and a host, do you have the energy to manage this company?" ”

Yang An said: "I've thought about it, let my mother be the general manager." ”

Mom squirmed: "Me? Don't be kidding, I'm a housewife, what kind of general manager, don't make trouble! ”
