3. Controversial program (II)
After the chief planner Jiang Lu truthfully informed everyone of the actual situation, the atmosphere in the conference room dropped to a freezing point.
I have worked hard to run so many countries, and I almost got into it several times, and in the end, the result was like this, and everyone was a little unacceptable for a while.
Song Wenbin didn't have any special feelings, anyway, he just took money to do things, and it had nothing to do with him after the show was broadcast, anyway, he had done his best.
"Because the number of broadcasts is not ideal, and the online reviews are not good, the scolding continues, just this morning, I received a call from above, and they decided to withdraw the investment." Jiang Lu said with a dark expression.
"Is that so?" Huo Yu, who was sitting next to Jiang Lu, had a bad face.
"But I think these situations are temporary." Jiang Lu forcibly clenched his fists and said: "As long as we keep filming, this show will always be popular." ”
Seeing Jiang Lu like that, Song Wenbin had a vague premonition in his heart.
"I called you here this time, in fact, I want to talk to you."
Jiang Lu said: "Recently, we are preparing for the filming of the second season, after all, the sentences of the three of you are almost full. It's not a way to keep it empty, but we may have to cut the budget of the show. ”
Song Wenbin immediately understood.
He asked quietly, "How are you going to cut it?" ”
"In the last season, our main costs were labor, the director, the film crew, and the rewards at the end of the show. Of course, for this season, we won't have the show's final cash prize, and we're going to have our salaries down due to the drastic budget cuts. ”
This sentence was difficult for Jiang Lu to say, and it took a lot of effort for her to finally say it.
Song Wenbin couldn't help laughing: "Okay, tell me, how much?" ”
"Ten thousand ....." Jiang Lu whispered, but she immediately said: "But don't worry, these are temporary, and when the profitability of the show goes up, I will immediately apply to change your income back, and it will be higher." ”
Huo Yu on the side was a little confused.
Sutina breathed a sigh of relief, she patted her chest and said, "Scared me to death.... I thought this show wouldn't be filmed in the future....."
But Song Wenbin listened to Jiang Lu's words, but sneered: "I said, we are such a big company, are you embarrassed to do this?" ”
Jiang Lu was silent.
Su tina hurriedly pulled Song Wenbin and whispered, "Brother Song...."
Song Wenbin dodged her hand and asked, "Drop 10,000, do you mean to give me 5,000 a month and let me play with your life?" ”
"No, I mean, it's temporary." Jiang Lu hurriedly explained.
"This is the show pulling the crotch, if it sells well, will you call us to give bonuses today?" Song Wenbin asked.
Jiang Lu's face was not good-looking, she said in an accentuated tone: "I didn't mean that, in fact, after the end of this season, there is already the idea of cutting this show, after all, the broadcast volume is not high, and the content is sensitive, and I don't know how many countries I will offend if I continue to shoot." It was my arguments that convinced them to continue filming a season, but because there was no national participation in this season, and naturally there was not such a big investment, we couldn't ...... like the first season."
Song Wenbin waved his hand, directly interrupted Jiang Lu's tirade, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your position in this show is the producer, isn't it?" ”
"Yes." Jiang Lu replied.
"Please tell me what the producer is responsible for." Song Wenbin asked.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Lu said with some difficulty: "Find investment." ”
"Yes, we're in charge of traveling, the director is in charge of filming, you're in charge of finding investment, that's how the show works. It's not up to us to think about the money, it's your responsibility. Song Wenbin said.
In the air, an invisible spark was ignited, and everyone could see that the atmosphere in the conference room had changed.
There is no doubt that the somewhat unkind tone of the male host of the show made the planning team very dissatisfied, and a male planner next to Jiang Lu was dissatisfied: "Song Wenbin, what do you mean, do you think you are the only one who will follow the downward adjustment?" Our wages are also going to be lowered, and Jiang Da didn't even ask for a salary, so he persuaded the above to continue filming. ”
"That's right, I'm tired of the teacher." A female planner next to Jiang Lu said: "When Jiang Lu learned the news, he would rather pay out of his own pocket to maintain this show, you can't ......"
"Stop, stop."
Song Wenbin raised his hand a little bored and said: "It's past the age of drinking chicken soup early next morning, you can tell these touching stories to whoever you like to tell, let me tell you the truth, before I came, I had already thought about it, I hope my salary will rise from 15,000 yuan to 30,000 a month, if you are not willing to satisfy me, it is impossible for me to shoot the next season with you." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Song Wenbin raised a hand, stood up, and said: "I think this price is completely reasonable, even very basic, before the first season, I didn't expect the danger of this show at all, in fact, in the filming of the first season, we faced the test of life and death many times, and such a test, such a salary, and such a big company, don't you think it's too low?" ”
His words were understood by a group of photographer colleagues, and the danger factor of this job did exceed many people's expectations, they felt that Song Wenbin was right, and their eyes became respectful when they looked at Song Wenbin.
Jiang Lu looked at Song Wenbin, his chest rose and fell, and said, "I understand your needs, but now the program team is in difficulty." ”
"Are we the ones who caused the difficulties?"
Song Wenbin said-for-tat: "Please, every episode, all my thoughts are about completing the strange requirements of your planning team, we are just the ones who implement your plan, and now the show is not popular with the audience, are we the cause?" ”
Jiang Lu stood up as soon as she pressed the table, her face flushed, and she said loudly: "This show is not welcome now!" It doesn't mean that you won't be welcome in the future! ”
"They don't welcome it now, they didn't welcome it in the past, and they won't welcome it in the future."
Song Wenbin sneered coldly: "I want to come to Jiang Planning You came back from studying abroad, you have watched a lot of foreign programs, and you have come into contact with a lot of their culture. But this is China, do you think the Chinese market is really like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Tomb Raider, Uncharted, is it your turn? ”
Jiang Lu's body trembled.
"No, my planner. The people of this land are not interested in those things at all, okay. What kind of bullshit sells second-hand cars bullshit wilderness survival undersea treasure hunting, who cares about that kind of thing, in comparison, I think your colleagues who shoot love defense battles are much more mature than you. ”
Song Wenbin's casual words stabbed Jiang Lu's heart like a sharp knife, and every time she said one more word, her face turned pale. The faces of the other planners were also ugly, and they kept their heads down and didn't say a word.
"Understand the needs of your audience and meet them so they can make a lot of money. But Jiang Dada, I see you, you don't understand the needs of the audience at all, or ....."
Song Wenbin's tone was a little gloomy, and said: "I think you don't bother to understand the needs of our local audience at all, you are just satisfying your own needs, and you can't find the positioning of this show at all, so even if you shoot 100 seasons of Extraordinary Journey, no one will watch it, even if I can live again, it won't help." ”
Jiang Lu's eyes widened instantly, and he didn't catch his breath, staring at Song Wenbin.
Someone couldn't stand it anymore, Huo Yu stood up and said loudly: "It's almost okay, Song Wenbin, they are all colleagues, they have something to say." ”
"I'm sorry." Song Wenbin raised his hand: "I just talked to our planner about my own opinions, and they all said that people are dying and their words are good, this is the last thing I want to say about this show, although I don't like it, but it is indeed what I want to say." ”
Sutina turned her head to look at Song Wenbin in astonishment.
But Song Wenbin had finished speaking, threw his badge on the table, picked up the car keys, turned around and walked towards the door of the conference room, this meeting seemed to him to have no need to continue.
5000 a month, called Hanako, can't even pay off the mortgage. Now that he has been unblocked, what to do is less than 5,000 a month, there is no need for him to hang himself on the tree of seals.
As soon as he reached the door, he heard a hoarse cry behind him.
"There is a disease in this era!
”
Song Wenbin turned his head in slight surprise, saw Jiang Lu with his hands propped on the table, and said excitedly at him: "There is a disease in this era!"
I don't want to make that kind of impetuous fast food superficial stuff, I want to make something with an ideal product to come out, is that wrong!? ”
Song Wenbin was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Of course there are diseases in this era, but there are diseases in any era, guess why." ”
He leaned against the door, threw the key and said, "If you are not sick and your soul is complete, do you still need to be a man?" Nonsense, how many people come to be sick.
The world seems to me to be nothing more than a large mental hospital. Money-hungry, lustful, drunkards, pretends, fame-seeking, murder-arsonists, and self-satisfied people like you, but so what, no matter how crazy they are, there will always be needs, they have needs, I meet needs, it's as simple as that. ”
Saying that, Song Wenbin's expression completely cooled: "Of course, I won't pretend to say that there is a disease in this era, because I am also sick, and a group of patients are together to satisfy each other, that's all." So, if you want to hire me as a patient, you have to pay enough for it, and if you can't get it, sorry, I won't do it. ”
Jiang Lu didn't speak, and sat back in his chair.
Song Wenbin saw Jiang Lu's eyes and saw that her face was already like ashes.
knew in his heart that this guy probably wouldn't be able to come up with a price that would make him feel excited.
"Love,, no,." She squeezed out a few words.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
Song Wenbin smiled, walked out of the conference room without looking back, pushed away the onlookers and strode towards the elevator.
This change was unexpected to him, but there was no loss for Song Wenbin, and now that he was about to complete his sentence, the seal also used his energy to unseal him. Now he can go back to live streaming at any time, which is exactly what he has always looked forward to. As long as he returns to the live broadcast, he will not be more than 10,000 yuan a month with his eyes closed.
Song Wenbin's sudden and unexpected departure stunned the entire conference room, and in the year-long filming process, he undoubtedly became an inseparable part of the three people, and those unbelievable crises during the journey were resolved several times by relying on him.
As soon as Song Wenbin left, except for Jiang Lu, who was slumped in the chair, everyone looked at Huo Yu and Su Tina, the two photographers pushed Su Tina, Su Tina stood up with a spirit, and shouted to Huo Yu: "Huo Yu!
”
Huo Yu opened his mouth slightly, sat on the chair with his eyes wide, and had not yet recovered from the changes just now. This guy... Is it really just a matter of leaving....?
"Huo Yu!
Su tina stomped her feet anxiously, she rushed over to grab Huo Yu, and dragged her outside.
Huo Yu hadn't come back to her senses yet, she asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"What!? Call him back! Sutina said angrily: "How will we shoot this show when he leaves?" ”
He ..... He..... Love to go...... Don't go ......."
Huo Yu stammered and said, "Can't you shoot without him, I don't believe it....."
Having said that, her body involuntarily stood up and followed Sutina, hurriedly chasing after her.
Chasing after them was also photographer Wei Ning, who caught up with Song Wenbin all the way, and took small steps beside him: "Disgusted..."
"Tell our people that I'm going to be out of the customs soon. At eight o'clock this Saturday night, I went to Dili Dili and started a live broadcast. Song Wenbin said without squinting.
The embarrassment on Wei Ning's face was swept away, and it was replaced by ecstasy.
"Good.... Good.... I'm going to ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was torn apart by Huo Yu.
Song Wenbin stood by the elevator and waited for the elevator, and when he saw Huo Yu and Su Tina appearing on the reflection of the stainless steel elevator, he couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart. After a year-long shooting, this period of life is also indelible for him. But since reality doesn't allow them to go any further, then he can only say goodbye to them here.
Su tina hurriedly took out her mobile phone from her pocket, put it in front of Song Wenbin, and said in a fast voice: "Look, Brother Song, look at this comment----"
Song Wenbin swept his eyes, it was a thousand-like comment on station D.
"I really didn't expect that China could still make such an incredible and fun show, it's amazing, it's so good, every episode shocks me, I'm tired of the teacher, Sutina, Huo Yu, please keep filming."
The elevator door opened, and Song Wenbin walked in with a blank face.
Su tina still didn't give up, pulled Huo Yu into the elevator with him, put the phone in front of him again, and couldn't wait to say: "Look at this, this..."
Song Wenbin glanced at it.
"This is really the best variety show I've ever seen in such a big life, real and wild, I don't even know how the six hours passed, it seems to have passed inexplicably, I can't describe it in words." I'm tired of the teacher, Su Su, Sister Huo Yu, don't be fooled by those negative comments, we all like this show very much."
But while Song Wenbin is indifferent to all the negative comments, Song Wenbin is equally indifferent to all the positive comments, and he has long passed the stage where he needs to rely on reviews for spiritual satisfaction.
"And this one, and this ....."
Sutina flipped out another one, but Song Wenbin was too lazy to read it.
Sutina saw that he didn't read it, so she directly helped him read it: "Thank you, extraordinary journey, you have given me the courage to continue walking as a depressed person, thank you, I hate the teacher." ”
The elevator slowly descended, and Song Wenbin's face was like a playing card.
"Also, there's this one.... I am a disabled person, my greatest wish is to be able to travel like a normal person, the extraordinary journey has fulfilled all my fantasies of travel, God knows how many times I have been brushed in bed, this is really the most amazing gift of life. ”
Sutina couldn't stop reading.
The elevator door opened, and Song Wenbin walked from the underground garage to his old Suteng, opened the door, and sat in.
Seeing that Song Wenbin was completely indifferent, Su tina was so anxious that her tears were about to fall, she stopped the car door from Song Wenbin, and said: "Brother Song, you look at their comments, there are still many people who like our show very much, I really think that our show still has the value and significance of continuing to exist, please, please stay and spend time with us, okay, you want money, I still have a lot of money, I can give it to you." ”
Song Wenbin looked at Su Tina, who was in a hurry to shed tears, and sighed, Su Tina may have just graduated from college and has not yet come into contact with society. He will also be moved by the ideals and pies in the mouth of the boss, but he really will not be touched by this kind of thing in the slightest, on the contrary, he is very disgusted with this kind of behavior. It's obviously just to do things with money, and you have to mix in some ideals and dreams.
"Sutina, that's not how things work." Song Wenbin said: "You can give in today, tomorrow they can sit on your head and, the principle and bottom line must be maintained by practical actions." ”
"You're right, but what should we do!
”
Sutina covered her face and began to cry bitterly.
"Did you say you wouldn't play if you didn't play?"
At this time, Huo Yu, who had been silent, spoke, she hugged her arms and looked at Song Wenbin coldly and said, "This is not like you, can't you bear such a little grievance?" What if this show becomes popular in the future? ”
Song Wenbin looked at Huo Yu, his expression softened, and he said sincerely: "Huo Yu, I didn't expect this show to be popular from the first episode, I came here for one thing, and that is to unblock." I've finished filming a season now, and you've really helped me unblock, so the contract between us is complete. As for their desire to take 5,000 yuan a month to make me die, it is impossible, and I will not pay a single price for your friend's arrogance and immaturity. ”
When Huo Yu heard this, she pulled away the crying Sutina and helped him fall on the door: "Then it's better to go." ”
"The mountains are high and the waters are long, and there will be a period in the future."
Song Wenbin pressed the window and said.
Huo Yu hugged Sutina, who was crying, and ignored him.
