“It’s not Man vs. Wild.”
“It’s a new variety show.”
Wei Zhengrong’s voice was steady, as if he was very confident about the new program.
Song Qingyou flipped through the script in her hand. After confirming that her future filming tasks wouldn’t be too heavy, she agreed to let Wei Zhengrong take a look at the rules and content of the variety show.
Wei Zhengrong had mentioned a new plan.
It was a show called “All-Class Challenge.”
The show would invite singers, actors, or idols from the entertainment industry to participate.
They would randomly experience other occupations in the show.
For example, teachers, waiters, construction workers, environmental protection workers, and so on.
The program team would set up corresponding job missions according to different jobs.
Upon completion of the mission, one would receive rewards and points.
The person with the most points would receive a bonus from the program team.
The less points one had, the heavier the punishment one would receive.
In this aspect, it was similar to Man vs. Wild.
Song Qingyou read the entire proposal and had a feeling that the show would be a hit.
Because the entertainment industry on earth was developed, celebrities were always glamorous in front of the camera. Some people were even ‘ignorant of the sufferings of the world’.
Letting celebrities experience the work of ordinary people and experience their hardships would definitely attract a lot of viewers!
Song Qingyou’s gaze fell on the final bonus amount of the proposal.
“Man vs. Wild 3’s prize money was still one million yuan. Why is it only a hundred thousand yuan for this show?”
Even if the bonus was just a symbol, if it was too little, wouldn’t it seem unattractive and gimmicky?
Chen Lan looked at the proposal and replied,
“That’s because Man vs. Wild 4’s reputation has dropped again. The investors might think that Man vs. Wild 3 is supported by you, and Director Wei himself isn’t very capable, so they didn’t invest much.”
“I see-”
After Song Qingyou returned from the island, she had actually heard about it.
Because she had offended Shen Xiyan, many people in the production team requested to replace her, but Wei Zhengrong resisted the pressure and insisted on continuing filming…
And Wei Zhengrong’s new program idea was indeed good.
How bad could a person’s ability be to come up with such a good idea?
Thinking of this, Song Qingyou tapped her fingers on the table.
“Then we might be able to take advantage of this.”
“What do you mean?” Chen Lan was puzzled.
“I think that as long as the publicity and filming of this show are done well, the chances of it becoming popular are very high. Therefore, why don’t we get involved and invest a portion of our money in it?”
In addition, there might be sponsors willing to invest in the title sponsorship, so the bonus would not be so low.
Chen Lan frowned.
“But where did you get so much money? Liying Venture Capital only invested five million in ‘The Empress’, which is just enough for us to film this drama. There’s no way there’s any left.”
Chen Lan only heard about Song Qingyou and Jiang Zhihan signing a gambling agreement not long ago.
If Song Qingyou wasn’t her boss now, she would have scolded her!
Even now, Chen Lan’s expression was still very ugly.
“Sister Lan, you don’t have to think too much about this. You just have to help me discuss it with Director Wei… 1 still have some savings.”
If it really wasn’t enough, she would finish writing “City of Machinery” and earn a wave of royalties first.
Writing a book was for investing in movies, TV shows, and variety shows.
Whether it was the author circle or the entertainment circle, Song Qingyou was probably the only one who would do this.
“Aren’t you going to transfer your father to another hospital with your savings?”
Chen Lan still felt that it was inappropriate.
“Of course I’ll keep that part. I’ve been looking for a suitable hospital recently.”
Song Qingyou hadn’t been able to find a hospital that the Shen family couldn’t reach. She was already thinking about whether she should write a few more papers that would shock the world and then transfer Song Xingye to the hospital with the best confidentiality as a scientist.
However, this was not realistic. Once her personal information was encrypted, it would be inconvenient for her to become an artiste again.
Chen Lan saw that Song Qingyou was confident, so she didn’t ask where she got so much money. She turned around and contacted Wei Zhengrong.
Song Qingyou looked up and met Zhizhi’s gaze.
As soon as she saw her cat’s dark green eyes, she thought of Jiang Zhihan.
She could not help but mutter, “Zhizhi, what do you think?”
“If I use holographic technology to work with Mr. Jiang, will he be willing to introduce me to an absolutely safe hospital?”
Jiang Zhihan glanced at her and thought to himself, ’This isn’t a difficult thing. You just have to ask:
He would definitely agree to it if it was as easy as lifting a finger.
However, he really didn’t expect that Qin Xiuyuan’s revelation to the media that he would consider working with the Jiangyuan Corporation was actually Song Qingyou’s idea!
For such a big project, she chose to cooperate with the Jiangyuan Group without hesitation.
Other than returning the favor…
It meant that Song Qingyou still trusted him a little, right?
A strange light flashed in the cat’s dark green eyes.
A day later, Wei Zhengrong’s company’s program team and Shengshi Entertainment announced that they would be recording a new variety show.
The program team had decided on Song Qingyou, Jiang Xuyan, Yu Muhuai, Xu Xingzhou, Zhao Yingnan, Shu Ling, and Tang Zinian as guests.
Yu Muhuai was from New Moon Entertainment, a company with more singers.
Zhao Yingnan was from Jinling Media, the same company as Lin Siya.
Tang Zinian and Shu Ling were from Time Media, a subsidiary of the Shen family.
Of the two people behind, the former was a newcomer who had just debuted, while the latter had been sitting on the cold bench in the company.
Because the production team didn’t have the money to hire big shots.
However, with Song Qingyou and the other original cast members, those who had watched Man vs. Wild 3 might be attracted.
Song Qingyou’s fans quickly became even more excited.
[Sister Qingyou is finally going to record a variety show. 1 just want to watch Sister Qingyou’s variety show]
[ I hope Director Wei will select a more difficult profession, such as extreme athletes.]
[ Looking forward to it! Hurry up!]
Before this, there had never been a variety show on earth that had filmed a professional experience. Therefore, when the rules of the All-Class Challenge were announced, many people called it ‘fresh’ and ‘creative’.
However, the industry wasn’t optimistic about the viewership ratings of this show.
“Man vs. Wild has been played to death by Wei Zhengrong. This show probably isn’t that good either. The creativity is just so-so.”
“If a variety show doesn’t invite an A-list celebrity to be a guest for one or two episodes, no one will watch the show at all. It’s the era where traffic is king!” “How can Wei Zhengrong play with this kind of program? When the time comes, most of them will probably be scripts. There’s nothing to be afraid of!” “Isn’t Song Qingyou working with Lin Siya? Why didn’t she invite Lin Siya to participate in one episode? This way, it could still be a topic of conversation.” “The investment is too little. There won’t be anything good.”
Their disdain was not without reason.
This was because many variety shows in the industry had already proved one point: no matter how well they filmed and how much effort they put in, it was better to let Gu Xingchen or other popular artistes show their faces.
This was reality.
Just relying on Song Qingyou alone might not have that much appeal..
