The contract was not signed, and everything was in vain.

The reason, you can guess without asking, there are only two reasons for this kind of thing, one is that the asking price is too high, and the total budget of the program team is not enough, but this one can be ruled out first, after all, what was asked before is higher than what was finally set, Zhang Lan lowered his price in order to take Qiao Xiaoqiao with him.

Second, the program team has found better guests.

Can you say that Zhang Lan is not good? Definitely not. Especially the gimmick of "Zhang Lan's variety show debut" can earn traffic, Chen Xiangxi, the director of "Three Hundred and Sixty Lines", is considered to be the top variety show director in China, and the two variety shows he did before were great successes. He participated in the director's variety show, and it can be said that he has already booked the ratings champion in advance, and Zhang Lan is the icing on the cake for such a show, and it doesn't matter if there is not.

Therefore, it is only possible that other guests were found, and it is unknown whether anyone will make small moves later.

"It's okay." Zhang Lan didn't panic. "There are also two programs, the sports meeting and the creator, I'll ask the sports meeting first, the creator's words are relatively professional, and I can't bring Xiao Qiao."

Zhang Lan made a phone call, and the director of "Star Games" was very surprised and surprised when he received a call from Zhang Lan, but Zhang Lan's asking price was too high, and the highest price that the program team could give was twelve episodes in one season, packing 80 million, and there was one small goal missing.

It is impossible for Zhang Lan to agree to this kind of price, this kind of thing of big-name celebrities lowering their prices is like cheating, there are only zero times and countless times, this time Zhang Lan lowered his price, and then what show he will participate in in the future, the cost is not easy to discuss.

The three variety shows selected by Zhang Lan are currently the hottest and the most expensive, and the rest basically don't need to be considered.

"Why don't I go and create people?" Zhang Lan frowned and thought for a while before saying. "The offer over there is okay, but I can't bring Xiao Qiao."

"There's no need." Bai Lu waved his hand. "Since there is no suitable one, then we will create a variety show by ourselves and cooperate with our local TV station."

"Our TV station here?" Zhang Lan was stunned. "It's no problem to create a variety show, let's forget about our TV station, right? Didn't even make it to the stars...... Do you have any ideas? ”

"I have an idea." Bai Luxin said, we won't copy it if we don't have an idea...... Reference? "Sister Lan, do we have that kind of casual variety show now?"

Zhang Lan tilted her head to look at Bai Lu: "What is a casual variety show?" Can variety shows still have casual ones? ”

According to Zhang Lan's understanding of the entertainment industry, variety shows, either all kinds of drafts are more or less competitive, so that there can be a sense of conflict, and the audience also loves to watch, leisure? What is leisure? Grab a teacup and sit under a big tree for a day, it's casual enough, right? But the question is who is watching.

"Now, why can't there be a casual one?" Bai Lu said with a smile. "How fast the pace of life is now, the nerves are about to break every day, and I have to watch those shows that pretend to be suspenseful with scripts, and the audience will also be aesthetically tired."

Zhang Lan thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's true, what do you think?" Let's talk about it. ”

"My idea is to find a rural area to rent a yard, and invite a few celebrity guests to play for a day or two in each issue...... By the way, another guest with good cooking skills will be a resident guest, responsible for hosting, and also responsible for being a cook. Of course, what do you think of what the guests order, they need to use their labor in exchange for payment, and then use the remuneration to buy food? ”

"That's a good idea." Zhang Lan has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, although she has not participated in any variety shows, has she never eaten pork and never seen a pig run? Now the routines of variety shows are almost the same, and the one proposed by Bai Lu is very interesting, there is no competition, it is just a simple play, well, you can also send invitations to guests who have publicity needs, chat and work, and promote new songs or new plays, which is good, very good.

"Where?" Zhang Lan said. "Our place is definitely not good, it is too cold in winter, it can only be the south, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the most suitable."

"Well, that's what I thought too." Bai Lu agreed. "If you think it's okay, then let's do a variety show ourselves."

"Okay, I'll call a meeting to study it later." Zhang Lan said to do it. "By the way, what should the show be called?"

"Longing for life." White Road.

"Do you want to live?" Zhang Lan said. "That's a good name, it's apt, that's it...... Let's go, let's go to a meeting together. ”

……

A meeting lasted for three hours, and finally decided to produce "Longing for Life", the first domestic leisure variety show.

Generally speaking, the producers of a variety show are TV stations, and they can be broadcast on their own TV stations after production, which is an advantage that Bai Lu and Zhang Lan's company does not have, but to cooperate with TV stations, Bai Lu feels that it is better to cooperate directly with the website, after all, the broadcast volume of "Hulu Baby" has rushed to the second place in the animation area after a few days of fermentation, this data is very eye-catching, and it can be regarded as having the confidence to cooperate.

……

"Me, me, me!"

During dinner, as soon as Bai Lu said this, Qiao Xiaoqiao immediately raised his hand: "Resident guests who can cook, I'll do it." ”

"That's right." Bai Lu said with a smile. "But you won't be able to host."

"I will." Qiao Xiaoqiao said proudly. "When I was in elementary school, I was a member of the sports committee, and I also worked part-time as a member of the art committee, and I presided over the New Year's Day party of the third grade of our class."

Qiao Xiaoqiao's words amused the people at the table, Zhang Lan took Qiao Xiaoqiao's hand, looked at Bai Lu and said: "Okay, okay, our Xiao Qiao is quite talented in variety shows, just know how to cook, host, just find a resident guest." ”

Before going to bed at night, Bai Lu found that Qiao Xiaoqiao was looking at the tablet seriously, so he leaned over to take a look, and said hesitantly: "Don't be in such a hurry, why do you still see the recipe?" ”

"You have to prepare in advance." Qiao Xiaoqiao said seriously. "I know how to cook, but I haven't cooked some dishes, after all, we have so many cuisines in Huaxia, it's always good to prepare in advance."

"Are you nervous?"

"Don'......t be nervous," Qiao Xiaoqiao wrinkled her nose. Okay, I'll admit I'm nervous, have you discussed it with your sister-in-law? Who is the other resident guest to invite? ”

Bai Lu smiled: "I just decided today, how can I even set the guests so quickly...... So, if you tell me who you want to work with, I'll invite you. ”

"How is Fu Lin?" As soon as Qiao Xiaoqiao heard this, her eyes lit up. "I like him, I've loved listening to his songs since I was a kid."

"Baby, let's talk about being realistic." Bai Lu couldn't cry or laugh. "Fu Lin is the king of heaven, let's not talk about how much money it costs to invite him to be a resident guest, money is a trivial matter, but he is in his fifties and almost sixty, let him be a king of heaven to be the host for you, after all, you still have to work, no matter how tired you are, it is estimated that no matter how much money you give, people may not agree."

"Oh yes." Qiao Xiaoqiao was suddenly a little disappointed. "But you didn't ask, how do you know that people don't agree? You ask, ask. Besides, why do you have to have two permanent guests? Why not find a young resident guest to work with? ”

"Okay, okay, I'll ask." Bai Lu sent a message to Zhang Lan and asked her if she had Fu Tianwang's contact information, Zhang Lan quickly sent her contact information, saying that Fu Lin was on vacation in Europe, she had already said hello, just let Bai Lu call directly.

Bai Lu dialed the phone, and Qiao Xiaoqiao asked Bai Lu to turn on the speakerphone one by one.

"Hey, hello, who's that?" The phone was quickly connected, and Fu Lin's recognizable deep voice came from inside.

"Hello Fu Tianwang, I am Bai Lu, Zhang Lan's brother-in-law." Bai Lu reported his home.

"Bai Lu, haha, look up for a long time, you are very popular these days, and you are on the news." Fu Lin laughed heartily. "Zhang Lan told me just now, are you looking for me for something?"

Bai Lu said his thoughts: "Do you think you have time?" In terms of price, it's easy to say, you can open it casually...... The main thing is that my daughter-in-law is your fan, and she has to look for you, so I can't help it, so I will be cheeky and ask you. ”

"Thank you, thank you, that's so kind." Fu Lin hurriedly thanked him. "I have the time, you just look at the price, I heard you say it just now, this show is very interesting...... Well, I'll go back tomorrow, and we'll meet and talk in detail, how about it? ”

"Absolutely." Bai Lu said with a smile. "By the way, when you come back, I'll send you two songs."

"Oh? And this kind of good thing. Fu Lin smiled. Okay, then we'll talk about it when I get back. ”

"Yay!"

As soon as Bai Lu hung up the phone, Qiao Xiaoqiao jumped up from the bed excitedly: "Fu Lin, Fu Lin agreed!" ”

"Slow down, slow down, look at your daughter, how can you look at you." Bai Lu grabbed Qiao Xiaoqiao's calf, for fear that she would accidentally fall off the bed, and in the crib next to her, Bai Qiaoqiao opened two big black eyes, looked at her mother dancing with a confused face, and then grinned and giggled.

"The baby is happy for his mother, isn't he?" Qiao Xiaoqiao took her daughter out of the crib and kissed her pink little face, which caused the little guy to giggle again.

"Ma Ma ......"

Bai Lu and Qiao Xiaoqiao were stunned for a moment, and then became excited: "The baby screams again...... Bai Lu, did you hear me? She called Mommy. ”

"Well, I hear you." Bai Lu also turned over and leaned over to tease the little girl. "Call Daddy, call Daddy to listen."

"She called her mother first." Qiao Xiaoqiao coaxed her daughter and teased her. "Call Mom, call Mom again."

The little girl giggled: "Ma ......"

"Ah, look, she's screaming again."

Bai Lu hurriedly said: "Call Dad, Dad...... Baby, I'm your dad, daddy ......"

Bai Qiaoqiao grinned: "Hmm! ”

Bai Lu: "......"
