Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 294 Running Group with Two Beauties (5k)

Huayi.

After the two Wang brothers heard the report from their subordinates, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother, that kid Cheng Xi is actually studying games?"

"He's really just a young man who has a lot of money. Instead of continuing to make movies and playing with women, he actually plays video games."

Wang Zhongjun also felt a little confused and said:
"It's true that Cheng Xi likes games. I see him posting his game results on Weibo all the time."

Wang Zhongjun is in his early 50s and Wang Zhonglei is in his early 40s. It is normal that they don’t understand the video game industry very well.

"He's making a lot of money now, but he's wasting his time on games. How much money is he losing playing games for an entire afternoon?"

"I heard that she often lives in the dormitory? Doesn't the villa want young models?"

As Wang Zhonglei spoke, he was actually a little envious in his heart.

He was fashionable once when he was young, but now all he thinks about is money, status and women.

I'm not interested in anything else at all.

Wang Zhongjun: "He fits my image of a young person."

"Look, Yu Ze, you're in the IT department now. See if you can get a job in the newly established mobile game department. Also, arrange for a few people to apply for jobs at Zuibai Entertainment. I have a feeling this is more than just a hobby."

Wang Zhonglei also agreed very much. After listening to reports from his subordinates, he found that similar projects all resulted in huge losses.

Would Cheng Xi be so foolish as to give away money for his hobby?

Although he didn't know what Cheng Xi was trying to do.

But my goal is to prevent him from accomplishing what he wants to accomplish.

a week has passed.

"Running Man" is also heading to South Korea to record the fourth episode.

Reba was the guest of this episode.

Cheng Xi also followed along.

After all, I am the chief planner of this program.

It would be unreasonable not to go and see it once.

Most of the Running Man team flew to South Korea separately because everyone had announcements to make when they were not recording the show.

So on Cheng Xi's side, there were Reba, Nazha, as well as a group of assistants and cameramen.

Looking at the cameramen who had been following Reba and filming her since she boarded the plane, Cheng Xi still felt a little uncomfortable.

Maybe Reba has participated in too many activities, so she is very generous in front of the camera.

Occasionally, he would interact considerately with the cameraman.

"Cameraman, are you tired?"

"How about I stop and everyone take a break."

But the cameramen at Yanjing TV are all quite shy.

They all smiled, shook their hands, thanked him, and said they didn't need it.

Nazha has long been accustomed to it. She and Reba hold hands and are as close as sisters.

He also kept telling Reba the things to pay attention to during the show and how they often trick people, asking her to pay attention.

But has she forgotten that they will soon be rivals?
Cheng Xi was not in the camera during filming.

He is half behind the scenes staff.

"Running Man" is actually a very profitable project.

Zuibai Entertainment has invested 3500 million yuan in the project and Yanjing Television has invested 2500 million yuan, but they are responsible for filming, venue rental, prop production, makeup, labor, and broadcasting.

Zuibai Entertainment is responsible for marketing promotion.

The biggest part of it is Deng Chao's appearance fee, 600 million per season.

The other actors were charged a friendly price, and the Zuibai actors were charged even cheaper.

Try to invest as much money as possible into filming.

Therefore, Zuibai Entertainment accounts for 70% of the revenue.

Now we have basically started to make money just by advertising and attracting investment.

After watching the simple editing of the first two episodes, many advertisers contacted Zuibai Entertainment and Yanjing TV in advance because of Cheng Xi's reputation.

Advertising investment ranged from a naming fee of 3000 million yuan to in-film advertising, including opening, ending, and corner banners, which also amounted to 2000 million yuan.

We have received quotations from five companies for brand implantation in the program, with the current price being 1500 million. I believe the price will be even higher after the show airs.

Many advertisements are also very simple and can be added in temporarily.

Therefore, Cheng Xi suggested that the advertisements in the next few issues should be put aside for now.

After all, people can’t see the effects now, so they are more cautious in making estimates.

Later, you can sell the online broadcasting rights and make a fortune.

What Cheng Xi knew was that the original operating company acquired the operating rights of "Running Man" for 1000 million yuan a year.

In two years, the company's valuation soared from 5 million to more than 20 billion.

The status of the actors in the series also rose, starting with the fifth season, before the salary cap order.

Lu Han has 4000 million, Deng Chao has 3000 million, and even Li Chen has 800 million.

This surge in sales also indirectly illustrates the popularity of Running Man.

But even though the actors' appearance fees are so high, they can still easily make hundreds of millions per episode.

And it can easily elevate the status of your actors.

Isn’t this much more exciting than filming a TV series?
Seoul Incheon Airport.

As soon as Cheng Xi, Ermei and others got off the plane, the photographer started to get busy again.

There is one in front and one on the side. It is quite a big scene when you follow Reba Nazha.

As we walked along, we heard a lot of "Smida" and "Anihasayo".
Even because she basically doesn't wear a mask when recording the show, many Chinese people or people traveling to South Korea have recognized Reba.

Some people also recognized Nazha.

Cheng Xi was in disguise and mixed in with the team behind the scenes, so no one recognized him and was attracted by the two beauties.

Watching the two beauties signing autographs for everyone, their two beautiful faces smiled together as they took photos with everyone.

Cheng Xi felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

Of course, some unknown dirty images also appeared in my mind.

Tonight, choose the left or the right.
Or should we just choose together?
Let's choose together. Cheng Xi really wants to.
After leaving the airport, I stopped filming for a while.

Everyone went back to the hotel that had been booked in advance and settled down.

Because everyone arrives at the airport at different times, we have to wait until everyone arrives today and then come back to the airport tomorrow during the day to continue filming.

Make a montage so that it looks like everyone arrived one by one.

In the evening, all seven members of the Running Man group and the guest stars were present.

In addition to Reba, another guest star is Yang Yang.

Yang Yang’s contract has now been transferred, and he is also preparing to start filming "Love O2O" with Nazha.

So one is to get familiar with the place, and the other is to show off and warm up for the TV series.

Cheng Xi simply asked him to come on an episode of Running Man.

It can be considered as mutual promotion.

Director Liu Feng arranged for everyone to come to the hotel's conference room for a preview meeting.

At this time, everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they all greeted each other warmly.

Everyone is curious and gossiping about the plans for this trip to South Korea.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Now, please welcome our special guests: Reba and Yang Yang. Welcome everyone!"

Following director Liu Feng’s welcome, Reba and Yang Yang also entered the conference room together.

When everyone saw that Reba was actually there as the guest star, they couldn't help but get excited.

This can be said to be the current emerging top star, and also the most famous flying guest so far.

Not to mention that she is a great beauty, the eldest princess of the Zuibai family.

It seems that Cheng Xi takes this program very seriously. I originally thought he only came once and had long forgotten about the Running Man team.

Obviously, not many people are familiar with Yang Yang.

But everyone greeted Reba and Yang Yang enthusiastically.

As the team leader, Deng Chao took the lead in applauding and welcoming the two.

"Welcome Reba and Yang Yang to join our lumberjack team!"

Reba also clasped her hands together and said modestly:

"Thank you, Brother Chao. I'm very happy to join the Running Man family. Please give me some guidance as a newcomer!"

Yang Yang: "Thank you, Brother Chao, thank you everyone, please give me your guidance!"

When Shen Teng saw Yang Yang, who was also the school idol of the PLA Art Academy, coming, he generously took care of his younger brother and said:
"Yang Yang, come and sit next to me."

He already knew that Yang Yang had signed with Zuibai Entertainment, and since the two were brothers in the same school, he would definitely have to take care of him and win him over.

After everyone arrived, Director Liu Feng looked at his watch and it was almost 8 o'clock.

So he ran to Cheng Xi's room, knocked on the door and said:
"Director Cheng, everyone is here!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xi opened the door and went to the venue with Liu Feng.

At this moment, everyone in the venue stood up at once.

Ermei didn't want to stand at first, but since everyone had stood up, it was not easy to make special arrangements.

But I was thinking:

My brother/senior brother’s style is getting more and more grand.

"boss!"

"Director Cheng!"

Cheng Xi pressed his hands and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Then we sat down in the main seat and the meeting began.

But everyone was just wondering why Cheng Xi didn't come.

Unexpectedly, this time, both she and Reba would appear directly.

So a pair of gossipy and curious eyes looked back and forth between the two of them.

Cheng Xi looked at everyone's expressions and coughed:
"Director Liu, let's start the meeting."

"Okay." Next, Liu Feng gave everyone a preview.

"Our plot this time is inspired by Detective Chinatown. Tomorrow everyone will follow the clues step by step to find the answer."

The original work was Zhao Youba and Lao Zhou in "Lost in Thailand". Due to copyright issues, Cheng Xi directly changed it to "Detective Chinatown", and it is even more popular than "Lost in Thailand".

The content inside does not need to be changed much.

They're all just skins anyway.

But when everyone heard that it was the plot of "Detective Chinatown", they couldn't help but get excited.

This is the number one box office movie in China. If it weren't for Cheng Xi's general planning, no one would have been able to get the authorization.

When the show is broadcast, it can also benefit from the popularity of this movie.

"Director, what's the case? A murder case?"

"Or the Golden Case?"

At this time, Liu Feng did not keep the secret, and said with a smile:
"It's Tang Ren's case, looking for important supplies, missing persons, etc."

Everyone has watched "Detective Chinatown" and knows that Tang Ren's missing persons are looking for kittens and puppies, and important supplies are delivered by express, so they all said with a smile:
"Director, let's do some difficult cases."

"Yeah, we're all so talented at logging, it's easy to solve two cases!"

"Yes, our famous Chinatown's top detective is here."

At this time, everyone looked at Baoqiang and smiled kindly.

"The specific case cannot be disclosed."

"Tomorrow we will divide everyone into three teams: Red Team, Yellow Team, and Blue Team, with three people in each team."

"But it won't be announced until tomorrow at the airport when we hand out the same clothes."

At this time, everyone looked at each other, guessing who would form a team with them.

Originally Liu Feng wanted Cheng Xi to say a few words, but Cheng Xi waved his hand:
"Everyone, just pretend I don't exist and enjoy the game tomorrow!"

But how could anyone really pretend that this person doesn't exist? That would be stupid.

The next day at 9 o'clock, everyone gathered at the airport.

It is now mid-April and the weather is nice and cloudless.

It's a good time to record a show.

After everyone finished putting on their makeup, they put on the team uniforms that were distributed.

Then I went to look for my teammates.

After everyone has found their place, they gather at the open space at the airport exit.

Red Team: Baoqiang, Reba, and Qiao Shan.

Team Yellow: Shen Teng, Jin Chen, Chen He.

Blue Team: Deng Chao, Nazha, and Yang Yang.

Each pair is assigned a female star, and their status is as close as possible.

At this time, everyone was looking at each other and silently evaluating their strength in their minds.

Variety shows are about camera sense and competing for the camera.

What kind of sparks can be created within a big framework, character settings and a general plot?

Sometimes I look at my opponents, sometimes I look at my teammates, but more often it’s about whether I can let go and whether I can get the camera.

If your shots are always boring and the program length is fixed, the boring shots will have to be cut.

Of course, if you are too cautious, others will be disgusted.

For example: I kept crying during the show.

But no matter what, black and red are still red. If you can keep crying, it means you have found the traffic password.

After gathering at the venue, everyone started dancing while waiting for the task to be announced.

You should know that there are three professional dancers:
Reba, Nazha and Jinchen.

It was very beautiful to see the three of them dancing.

Cheng Xi, who followed the team behind the scenes, also had a great time watching the show.

This shot is not easy to grab, it can't be done without some skills.

Liu Feng: "Director Cheng, this segment is great. The audience will definitely like it."

Cheng Xi: "Well, for natural dancing like this, we can give it more shots. The audience loves to watch it."

Liu Feng seemed to understand something after hearing this.

Then the tour guide came and brought everyone some bad news:

"Everyone has lost their passports. If they want to return home, they must first find their passports."

"According to the current intelligence, you must go to Gwangjang Market first if you want to find your passport!"

So the three teams took their transportation cards and took taxis to find Gwangjang Market.

Baoqiang sitting in the car:

Qiao Shan: "The taxi fare is 15,800 yuan. That looks scary!"

Baoqiang: "Master, how long will it take us to get there?"

Reba: "Brother Baoqiang, I don't understand Mandarin"

Baoqiang grinned: "Oh, I forgot this is Korea!"

The three people in the car and the photographer sitting in the front passenger seat all burst into laughter.

The three teams finally arrived at the designated location, which was the second floor of a restaurant.

Then I received my first task:
Snack Bingo.

Who can find and eat 25 kinds of delicious food with Chinese pronunciation first in the market?

After forming a line, whoever gets the passport clue first wins.

If someone else eats it first, it will be occupied in advance, resulting in failure to complete the task.

Everyone was really excited after this game.

At the beginning, everyone competed harmoniously.

But the yellow team led by Shen Teng was obviously several steps slower and failed to find many delicious foods.

I don’t speak English well, so I can’t communicate with the Korean aunt.

So just give up.

Shen Teng started to deal with the naughty Jin Chen, and the three of them reached a consensus with Chen He.

He doesn't eat his own food, but instead goes out to frame the Red Team and the Blue Team.

See which group eats two or three, and judge by looking at them repeatedly.

Eat the one in the middle immediately, and focus on the one you can't win, and don't let others win.

Cheng Xi saw all these scenes. It should be noted that the chemistry between Shen Teng and Jin Daxixi was very good.

Very variety show feel.

And what he did was not only not annoying, but also extremely funny.

This is a skill.

In the end, it was extremely difficult to win this game, as I almost finished eating all 25 kinds of food.

The mission is completed.

In the end, the directors gave them a break, otherwise I really doubt it would have collapsed.

Shen Teng and Jin Daxi also got the title of villains.

Cheng Xi also looked at Reba and Nazha putting kimchi into their mouths in big mouthfuls, and couldn't help laughing.

When women fight together, they can be quite ruthless.

As the saying goes, three women perform one drama.

The same is true in the show.

Jin Chen is a complete comedian, Nazha is a laid-back worker, and Reba is a strong woman.

They all have distinct personalities.

I believe that when the audience sees this episode, they will be impressed by the three people and find it very exciting.

During the three days, everyone was laughing and having a great time.

They each completed the handstand singing and recorded their own snoring
The paper boat is rowing, and Baoqiang's big boat is silent in the water
There are also games like rock-paper-scissors in the water on the beach, where losers are punished.

Cheng Xi has also been following everyone to record the show, eating, drinking and having fun for free.

In the evening, I also took my two beauties to have fun in South Korea.

Just treat it as a trip.

On the beach, after recording the show, Cheng Xi and Ermei, who was wearing swimsuits, sunbathed in the sun for an entire afternoon.

It really relaxes me.

The only drawback is that the two beauties have been living together, so I don’t have a chance to guide Teng.

You two are such a loving sister.

If we do this, Director Cheng won’t have a chance to invade.

Finally, it was the last day of recording, and the script was to compete with the Korean guests from the original Running Man in tearing off their name tags.

It can be regarded as a battle between China and South Korea.

No one was willing to give in to the other, and Reba, Nazha and Jinchen all performed very bravely.

She looked like a female tiger.

After all, it involves the honor of the faction, so everyone is particularly serious.

But Nazha unexpectedly overestimated her small body. When she was tearing off the name tag with the Korean, the fight was too intense and she fell down.

Cheng Xi watched as he hurried over to help her up.

I didn't expect that my knee was swollen and it hurt when I stood up.

She was limping when she walked, so Cheng Xi and several behind-the-scenes staff members sent Nazha back to the hotel.

However, her name tag was torn off at the end, so she was eliminated.

It doesn’t matter whether you record or not afterwards.

"Reba, I'm going to send Nazha back first, you guys continue recording."
