Chapter 389 Running Man Invites Wu Yanzu
During Christmas, Yang An nominally brought his family to Hong Kong for shopping and leisure. On the surface, he also attended Wang Shi's banquet and sang a few songs. It seemed that he was participating in a commercial event and making a lot of money. The entertainment tabloid also published a few photos. In fact, he made a special trip to Hong Kong and Macau, and his real purpose was to cast a running man.
Those who say that Yang An still needs to go to the business to make money do not understand his wealth.
He now earns more than 600 million net income from selling advertisements every year. Good voice, comedian, I am a singer, If You Are the One, these are all money-absorbing tools. This is the bonus that variety shows can easily enjoy after brand awareness. Just lie down and collect money every year, and there is no need to go to the business to perform or something. The singing or something in the newspaper is purely entertainment, and it is regarded as KTV.
"Run, Brother" is an outdoor variety show that he attaches great importance to. His team is the original team of "The Great Challenge". To prepare for the program, the directors tried these games themselves, adjusted and modified them. In short, the preparation work of the team was very sufficient.
But no matter how full and detailed the thought is, Yang An is always worried if he didn't come to play and try it himself. After all, no one knows what kind of effect he wants, even Yang An himself doesn't know, What kind of effect can the running man he led to produce.
Yang An was always telling himself, perhaps, he should start with the most primitive milk nningman combination.
If we use a mature team and mature links from the beginning, I am afraid that even the artists themselves will collapse, such as tearing up famous brands. How can they tear up without a few episodes? Hehehehe after meeting, discussing and tearing it up? So don't expect a new program to be particularly mature from the beginning. A new car has to be driven for 5,000 kilometers for a running-in period!
It is hard to find suitable artists, this is the most troublesome point for Yang An.
Up to now, Yang An has not been able to determine the regular team of running men. He has looked for targets among mainland actors, actresses, singers, hosts, and sports stars. However, many people do not exist, and many people also come and go For example, Guan Xiaotong, who was born prematurely, and Gu Tianle, who was born late, if he wants to find a suitable one, and the other party is willing to cooperate, it is very difficult to meet one.
When he came to Hong Kong again, Yang An was full of emotions. Not counting the trip to Disney a few days ago, the last time he came to Hong Kong, he still sent Yao Beina here for treatment. Two years later, Hong Kong is still so bustling and lively, and the people are still so enthusiastic.
Under the guidance of Chen Luoqi and Zhong Weiqiang, Yang An met some celebrities in Hong Kong one by one. The first person he met was Wu Yanzu. This handsome man was the candidate he wanted to win over very, very much.
At this time, Wu Yanzu was directing his first movie "Four Heavenly Kings".
This film is a script written by him himself, directed by himself, and an actor himself. In his own words, it exposes the unknown side of the Hong Kong entertainment circle, and brings together the different lives of actors, singers, hosts, and Hong Kong stars. The operation process of the factory is unreservedly displayed, which is very documentary and full of Hong Kong-style irony.
Today's crew is in a bar in Yuen Long. The name of the bar is Mephisto, which is named after a villain in Goethe's poetic drama "Faust". The rebellious mentality of some young people in Hong Kong.
The bar business is very good, but during the day, it becomes a temporary set of "Four Heavenly Kings".
"Azu!"
Manager Susan yelled loudly, it happened to be a break in the set, Wu Yanzu heard the news and came over, rubbing his temples, he was dissatisfied with the scene just now, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he decided to relax his mind.
Susan pointed sideways to the sidelines, and quickly said: "Roky and private touch n are here, and they brought Yang An with them. Azu, tell me the truth, do you want to participate in Yang An's show?"
Wu Yanzu took the towel to wipe off his sweat, pursed his mouth and said, "I'm afraid it's not something I can decide, right?"
Susan breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you want to go, it's ok,
Leave the rest to me, and I'll help you get a good price. "
Wu Yanzu walked outside the set, and smiled: "I'm afraid this is not something you can decide, right?"
This guy! Talking to your manager like that, can we still play happily together in the future?
Susan was angry and followed behind, quite unconvinced.
Yang An had already communicated to them the idea of meeting, and also mentioned the matter of collaborating on a program together. Wu Yanzu didn't express his opinion immediately. Susan didn't know who Yang An was at first, but she saw all the variety shows produced by Yang An on the Internet. After learning that he is popular in the mainland, his attitude changed immediately.
The mainland market is countless times larger than that of Hong Kong. Now Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are trying to enter the mainland to act in movies, TV dramas, and run commercial performances. That means a lot of money and thousands of fans. The population base in the mainland is really too large Well, the total population of any slightly larger city exceeds that of Hong Kong. If you walk around the mainland, you can make money quickly!
As a professional manager, Susan is of course thinking about this aspect the most, appearance fee, filming schedule, follow-up commercial activities, publicity interviews, and all kinds of details. She wants to fight for Azu's interests as much as possible.
But Wu Yanzu was different. When he saw the three people who were chatting happily, he immediately burst into a smile, walked up to meet him quickly, held Yang An's hand, and only found time to high-five Roky and Private Touch n with the other hand.
We are all friends, and Roky also helped to provide him with the details of the band's operations in overseas markets. Wu Yanzu also liked the song "Half Moon Serenade" very much.
"Hi Azu!"
"Hello, hello, Yang Sheng has worked hard! Wow, I didn't expect you to be taller than you look on TV!"
"It's about the same as you!"
Yang An wanted to laugh when he heard Wu Yanzu's Mandarin. He is not good at Chinese, he speaks very slowly and has a very strong accent, so Yang An also slowed down when speaking, giving him more time to think.
Perhaps the biggest flaw in choosing Wu Yanzu to be a running man is here. For example, when playing brain teasers, others are scrambling to answer. He waited slowly for two questions. When everyone just got the key third question, He suddenly burst out laughing all by himself, and said, "The first question is so funny!", which can't make people anxious to death.
But apart from this shortcoming, Wu Yanzu is excellent in all other aspects.
Wu Yanzu once won the championship of the gossip magazines in Hong Kong and Taiwan [Most Wanted One Night Object], defeated the Taiwan supermodel Zhiling and won the first place in [Who Who Wants to See the Most Full Photo], and even won the [Most Wanted to See] with Takeshi Kaneshiro Kissing between man and man] Guiguan is enough to show how much the colleagues in Hong Kong and Taiwan dote on this handsome guy. Those actresses even think that he won these voting champions is what everyone expects!
So Yang An still plans to get in touch with him. After all, it is very difficult to meet a male god with 360 degrees without dead ends. It would be a pity to miss it. What's more, he heard that Wu Yanzu has a very funny personality outside the show, a natural variety show star!
Due to the tight filming time, we only had 30 minutes of precious time to meet. The four friends and one Susan simply sat in a corner of the bar and talked about serious matters. Anyway, there is no one in the store right now. The boss brought soda water, which is quite enthusiastic.
Yang An asked: "Azu, I will start a new variety show in the first half of next year, that is, after the Spring Festival. Are you interested in participating? Be a regular guest for me?"
"I'm interested, but it still depends on the company's arrangement!"
Wu Yanzu grinned at the corners of his mouth, revealing fake dimples. Obviously he was in a good mood. He turned his face to look at Susan, and the latter helped to answer: "After the Spring Festival is the promotion period of "Four Heavenly Kings", you can spare time, but you have to watch How long have you been filming?"
Yang An explained: "Intensive production will continue until May, that is, about three months. There will be at least four to five days of filming a week, and the remaining two to three days will be for the artist to take a break. Wait until June, July and August. There will be some work schedules, but maybe only two days a week."
"The time is too long, it will last for half a year, and the work intensity is a bit high!" Susan frowned.
But Wu Yanzu thinks it is acceptable. He himself is a workaholic. He has made 27 films in 6 years. Although many of them are small roles, at least he is willing to try various styles and hone his acting skills. Young people It is always right to love learning, and variety shows are also a brand new attempt, he is willing to do it, and can earn money and fame by the way, why not do it?
As an agent, Susan thinks this way. Azu can't guarantee that he will be on call. 345 shoots 4-5 days a week in three months. This is almost following Yang An. If you really want to return to Hong Kong, or participate in A certain TV station in the mainland is promoting a movie, I am afraid that Azu doesn't even have any rest time, and he is strictly restricted for these three months.
Susan asked: "Mr. Yang, I want to ask, are you giving priority to the time you mentioned?"
Yang An nodded: "That's right, there are 7 permanent staff in this program, some of them are contracted artists under my banner, and the others have their own jobs, so I hope everyone can spare as much time as possible to record the program. Instead of moving frequently, this will disrupt other people's arrangements, I hope Miss Susan can understand!"
Both Susan and Wu Yanzu expressed their understanding, but understanding is one thing, whether they can do it or not depends on the individual.
Wu Yanzu asked curiously: "Why do you have to record 5 days a week? Isn't your show broadcast weekly?"
Yang An explained: "At the beginning of the show, the 7 people need to adjust their time. Because it is an outdoor variety show, there is no ng, and there will be no reshoots. If there are not enough shots, we may extend the shooting time. In addition, we will try our best to arrange a day's work. It takes three months to shoot a program that can be broadcast for half a year. Although it is said to work five days a week, if I can really shoot three complete episodes of the program, I will be thankful.” (To be completed continued.)
