Chapter 568 A complete acquaintance game
“What are you advertising for?” Xu Qingsong asked Du Yunkai.
Du Yunkai explained to him: "Of course it is to advertise our game! Let me tell you, the recording time of this variety show is not long, it is recorded from early April to mid-May, and then from early June It will be broadcast until the end of August, and we are planning to have a public beta in September..."
"Wait a minute," Xu Qingsong interrupted, "With the current reputation of our studio, it seems that there is no need to advertise the game. Right? I think it’s just a matter of holding a game conference It can have a very good publicity effect.”
“It’s not like we’re asking you and Xu Xu to work for free and pay for the announcement,” Du Yunkai advised again, “The main thing is that it’s not easy to do programs now. There are all kinds of romance shows on the market, and all the tricks have been exhausted. As for my sister's company, the revenue of the show is also going downhill. The company wants to save it for the last time. If it succeeds, it will continue next year. If it doesn't succeed, it will continue this year. It’s the last season.”
After saying that, he looked at Xu Qingsong with great sincerity and expectation: "If your friend is in trouble at home, you won't just ignore him, right?" Oh, ask: "Tell me, what are your selfish motives?"
Let's start from last night.
Just after dinner at home last night, Du Yunxiang's assistant An Ding sent a program planning proposal, which was the romance drama "The Longest Love Confession".
Seeing his sister frowning, Du Yunkai asked. Du Yunkai also had a headache, so he simply talked to him and his parents.
What is "the longest confession of love" can be answered by a popular saying on the Internet at that time, which is "company". "Company is the longest confession of love" has always been the main theme of this romance drama.
Different from other romance programs, "The Longest Love Confession" does not have a director team to issue tasks, and there is no process control. The filming content is mainly based on the daily interactions of real couples. The program team gave the guests sufficient freedom during the recording, and it was up to the guests to decide what to do or not to do.
This actually tests the chemical reaction (or professional ethics) between the guests and the camera. Some guests are very good at it and will take the initiative to create program effects. Some may have never participated in a similar reality show before. In addition, The tension brought by so many cameras will be even more confusing.
The return homecomings of the first and second seasons of "The Longest Love Confession" are both very good. Whether the guests are acting or real life, they all let the audience see what the ideal of happiness looks like. There are poems and distant romances, and there will also be friction over daily necessities, but in the end, they will all turn into a stronger belief in walking hand in hand through mutual understanding, tolerance and support.
The five pairs of guests in the first season and those in the second season all received good news after the show ended. Some guests even took their children to participate in the children's show last year. While people were moved to witness their happiness all the way, they also cursed "The Longest Love Confession" a few times, saying that the program team had made enough money and stopped caring about the program, and it started to fail.
In fact, it's not the case, and the show team doesn't want to, but for some reason, starting from the third season, the guests they invite always have trouble. So far, they are taking the blame for a certain big-name singer couple.
The couple got married a year after the program ended. When the wedding of the century was heavily publicized, the most incredible thing was the program staff.
The program team spent a lot of time and money to invite these two people. Maybe the program team really gave them too much freedom. They didn’t have the consciousness to work for money at all. Not to mention that the show was seriously messed up during the recording, what is even more unexpected is that the love they usually show on social media is all staged, probably because the daily work constraints are too deep...
At that time, the relationship between the two was going on. Due to conflicts at work, people familiar with the matter said that they had already planned to break up, but the contract with "The Longest Love Confession" had already been signed, and they didn't want to lose the sky-high announcement fee, let alone compensation for liquidated damages, so they just held on. Nose to record the show. It was so messed up during the recording that even the millions of edits by the program team couldn't save it.
The two have many fans, especially CP fans. They immediately started to quarrel with the program crew after the variety show was broadcast. There were even rumors that the program crew took money from the other party and deliberately used underworld editing to discredit them.
With Du Yunxiang's character, he would definitely not let it go when the matter got to this point, but it was difficult to handle the matter because the woman was from Bay Province. At that time, the situation on both sides of the Taiwan Strait was serious. Du Yunxiang thought twice and told the director team to forget it and suffer the dumb loss. Then someone was sent to negotiate with the man, and they were asked to re-record in the next few episodes before the matter was resolved.
After this incident, the reputation of the program crew dropped a lot. The fourth season was not able to save it, and the guests invited for the fifth season did not cause much splash. Therefore, Du Yunxiang is considering the sixth season. Is there anything Ji needs to do?
Du Yunxiang wanted to cancel the show, but director Zheng Qingchuan didn't want to. After all, this was a show he had worked on for five years, five years of hard work, and he wanted to save it again.
Zheng Qingchuan and the program team racked their brains to come up with a new plan. Last night, he asked An Ding to send his share to the Du family.
Hearing what Du Yunxiang said, Du Yunkai took the plan and flipped it through, then threw it away in disgust: "What the hell? Sister, I think this program should be cut off. If this plan is... Showing up at my place, I must suspect that I am blind and have recruited the wrong person.”
Du Yunxiang had a headache: "I want to kill him, but this Zheng Qingchuan is too difficult to deal with. Some time ago, whenever I was in the company, he would find opportunities to block me, and he would start crying as soon as he saw me. I was just tired of his crying. , I agreed to come up with a new plan for me to see."
Du Shaohua and Yin Donglei took the plan that Du Yunkai left on the coffee table and took a look at it. Want to see.
Du Shaohua said: "Although I don't understand program production, I don't think I can save this planning case."
Yin Donglei also said: "I have watched this program, and I I think what was done before was pretty good. If this season’s program is done according to this plan, wouldn’t it violate the original intention of the program?”
Du Yunkai joked: “Sister, I don’t remember that there is a relationship. The show invited a couple from a wealthy family in Hong Kong. They are quite popular. How about I help you ask Mingyuan and the others to see who would like to participate?”
Yin Donglei smiled when he heard this: "Why bother looking for a few of them? I think you are quite good." Then she turned to Du Shaohua and said, "Yeah, our son needs good looks and strength, and you have This father also has a girlfriend who is both beautiful, talented and good at making money. Do you think he is a good match?"
Du Shaohua couldn't help but nodded while laughing. Chacha didn't understand but agreed positively: " Uncle is suitable !"
Seeing his sister's serious look, Du Yunkai couldn't help but stay away: "Are you kidding me, I'm paying you this little notice fee?"
Du Shaohua is very worried. Disagree: "Can you please stop talking about money? Your sister is in trouble now. As a family, shouldn't you help her from the bottom of your heart?"
Du Yunkai thought to himself, it's so difficult. !
Yin Donglei also felt that she suddenly remembered another thing and asked Du Yunkai: "Qingsong and Xu Xu are already engaged. When will you and Xixi also put their marriage on the agenda?"
Du Yunkai felt that his dear mother Is it really because he doesn’t want to pick up the pot? It’s Wenxi who doesn’t want to!
The next second, Yin Donglei continued: "Xiangxiang, otherwise, this show will be filmed in the same way as before. If you are short of money, my mother will vote for you, and let your brother and Xixi record it. He What kind of love have the two been in for the past two years? It's like online love. It's just right. Give them a chance to get along well. "
He looked at Du Yunkai and said, "Success or failure may depend on this."
When Du Yunkai thought about this, his idea immediately came to his mind: "Sister, please be patient. I will call Xixi right now."
When Wenxi heard this, was there such a good thing? Being on the show is equivalent to advertising her brand, and she can also eat, drink and have fun for free, so why not go? go! I agreed immediately.
Du Yunkai smiled happily.
Wenxi then asked him: "Can you invite Xu Xu and Lao Xu to join us? Let's form a game of acquaintances. Then we can have fun together."
"The Longest Love" She hadn't watched "Confessions", but she had seen a little bit of other romance dramas, which seemed to put several couples together for a trip, so she felt that this show was probably the same.
Du Yunkai thought this was a good idea when he heard it, so he threw the contract in front of Xu Qingsong when he came back.
Xu Qingsong was speechless: "So, you just want to fall in love at public expense."
Du Yunkai had already thought of an excuse to manipulate him: "Xixi already told your family Xu Xu last night, maybe She has already agreed. Besides, what’s wrong with dating at public expense? Think about the past two years—"
Xu Qingsong was unmoved. He worked overtime last night and Liu Wangxue went back. Already asleep, I didn't hear Liu Wangxue mention this matter early this morning, probably because he didn't want to participate.
He said proudly: "You know, I'm getting married. I have to prepare for the wedding in the past few months. I'm very busy."
Du Yunkai said: "You also know, the game It will enter the closed beta stage immediately, and the months before and after the public beta will only be busier, so you only have wedding leave when you get married, and no honeymoon leave.”
Xu Qingsong: "Are you threatening me?"
He thought, what a honeymoon, he doesn't even want it. Soon after the wedding, it will be time for Liu Wangxue to join the group - wait, if you take this opportunity Putting the honeymoon before the wedding? Seeing that his expression was wavering, Du Yunkai pushed the contract in front of him again: "Anyway, it's still a long time before the recording. You think about it slowly and go back to ask Xu Xu's opinion at least, right?"
After work, Xu Qingsong told Liu Wangxue about the matter and asked her for her opinion.
Liu Wangxue had just sent away Youyou, Xiaotao, Haohao and several other children, and was lying on the sofa to rest with the three little ones. Hearing this, he replied: "I don't want to go."
< br>
Wen Xi told her last night, and she also said she didn't want to go. She originally wanted to wait until Xu Qingsong came back to discuss it, but it turned out that he came back too late and she had already fallen asleep. So she decided to do this as soon as she got up this morning. I forgot about it.
She gave the same reason as she told Wenxi last night, saying that recording the program was very tiring: "Dear, I moved to Taojiacun just to live in peace and quiet with my parents. My plan at that time was to write scripts and sell them to make money. Who would have thought that once the work mode started? I can't help myself. I've been working hard for two years. Let me take a break. Now I just want to lie down at home. And your game is going to be in closed beta. Will recording the program affect my work?"
< br>Xu Qingsong squeezed out of the way, picked up Liu Wangxue, sat on the sofa and let her lean into his arms, He opened the contract and showed it to her: "Look, the program has a lot of freedom. It doesn't prevent you from continuing to lie down at all. It's just like normal."
Liu Wangxue raised her hand and touched his Face: "Do you really want to participate?"
Xu Qingsong nodded and used Selling his trump card, he said sadly: "You have basically been away from home for the past two years. We have spent less time together and more separation. Now we are finally getting married, but after the wedding, you will go to the crew again, and we will have a honeymoon together." There is no time, can you feel the sadness in my heart?”
Liu Wangxue was aroused by his sincere performance and felt guilty. She held his hand, kissed him, and reflected: "You are right, it's all my fault. I didn't consider your feelings."
Xu Qingsong continued his efforts: "Then let's go and participate in this love show, okay? It's like the honeymoon has been advanced. And Du Yunkai, the unscrupulous boss, has gone, no idea Although he is enjoying himself outside, I am still working hard in the office."
Liu Wangxue couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
No need. Xu Qingsong reminded that Liu Wangxue also knew that she had spent very little time with Xu Qingsong in the past two years. She originally planned not to go anywhere before the crew started shooting, but to stay at home and spend time with him. But she ignored one thing, which was the honeymoon after marriage! It had to be said that Xu Qingsong's proposal made her very excited.
After the two people discussed it, they talked to Du Yunkai first, then contacted the director team and signed the contract.
After Wenxi found out, he asked Liu Wangxue: "Tell me, what made you change your mind?" 】
Liu Wangxue: [Of course it’s my Mr. Xu. 】
Wenxi: [It’s true that you have the opposite sex but no friends]
Liu Wangxue: [It’s like you don’t have the opposite sex]
In the blink of an eye, it’s early March, and the game is official When the internal beta started, Xu Qingsong started the daily overtime mode, so Liu Wangxue went to the studio to accompany him, and also asked for an internal beta number to experience it in advance.
A few days later, I suddenly received messages from Ni Jia and Lou Rui. The contents of the messages they sent were similar. They both said that they would also participate in "The Longest Love Confession".
Liu Wangxue was surprised by this, and said to Xu Qingsong: "They are actually together?!" and then typed quickly.
Xu Qingsong thought about it and said: "There should be such a possibility..."
After finishing his words, Liu Wangxue raised his head and smiled and said: "Both of us have overthought it, but they have not Together, it was Director Meng who asked them to go on the show.”
Xu Qingsong also laughed and asked, “Is it for the role?”
"Yeah!" Liu Wangxue nodded.
She told Xu Qingsong that she had made a joking recommendation to Du Yunxiang before, saying that Ni Jia and Lou Rui should play the role of "the princess and her male favorite" in the drama. Unexpectedly, these two characters were really In the end it really fell on them.
There is real love between the princess and her male favorite, but there is only a "buddy friendship" between Ni Jia and Lou Rui. These two characters will appear at the end of the first part. They were filmed by Meng Huadong, who took countless shots before they were given.
Liu Wangxue said: "It's so funny. The two of them have quite a big role in the second part. Director Meng was afraid that they wouldn't be able to create a spark and delay the filming progress of the crew. After hearing about this variety show, he I packed them up and sent them in. The task is to hone their acting skills hahaha..."
"It's good. We have two more acquaintances. Then we can really form a group to play." Xu Qingsong also felt very happy. Funny, he asked again, "That means there are only two pairs of guests left. Do you have any news about them?"
Liu Wangxue shook his head: "I don't know. I asked An Ding about it, and he said he was still being invited."
Then just wait.
In late March, two days before Xu Qingsong’s birthday, the family went to Beijing with their three little ones.
Cousin Xu Qingsong’s friend came up with several wedding plans. Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong discussed and chose the relatively simple one.
Then it’s time to try on wedding dresses, choose jewelry, and choose a wedding venue. There were five alternative venues. After discussion, Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong chose Liang Xian's hot spring resort. They also wanted to advertise this place.
Because when Zheng Qingzhou, the director of the program team, heard that they were going to have a wedding in May, his eyes immediately changed. The left eye said "traffic" and the right eye said "fame and fortune". The two together were "money". So I actively discussed with them whether I could slightly change the shooting plan and help them record this happy wedding.
Xu Qingsong and Liu Wangxue thought that they were doing programs after all, and they must be more professional than wedding photographers outside, so they agreed.
So when choosing a wedding venue, Liu Wangxue did not hesitate to suggest that it be held at Liang Xian's hot spring resort. She said: "Since we are already participating in the show, let's make the most of each other."< br>
The next step is to take wedding photos. Xu Qingsong’s mother and aunt have also prepared all the alternative plans, and have communicated with Gu Xuelan online to select fifteen sets for the two children to take final photos. choose.
Liu Wangxue almost blacked out when he saw this number.
Xu Qingsong said: "My mother, your mother, and my aunt want to shoot ten sets. I suggest that they have already circled them, saying that they are for reference for the two of us."
Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong discussed: "How about five sets? That's enough! And the two of us plan to shoot while we are recording the show. There are too many to shoot in three days." If she hadn't worried about the mood of the three mothers, she would have really I want to say three things. Seriously, just thinking about taking wedding photos makes me tired. Three sets are enough!
Xu Qingsong understood her very well, but he couldn't suddenly reduce the fifteen sets to three sets. It would be too hurtful, so the two of them did their own ideological work for their families, and finally ordered five sets. set.
At the beginning of April, there was still a week left before the variety show started recording, and the other two pairs of guests were finally decided.
Liu Wangxue took a look and found that he was an acquaintance again.
One pair is Han Zhenhao, who previously played Lou Rui's brother in "Moon Halo Effect", and his amateur girlfriend, and the other pair is Shen Xun and his agent girlfriend.
This group was the brainchild of Zheng Qingzhou. He wanted to save this show before, and wanted to invite some big names to come over to support the scene, but after sending out many invitations, he did not receive any response, either. Just refuse. I was very sad when I was rejected a lot, and I felt that this program might really be hopeless.
The deputy director reminded him: "Don't we have Lou Rui! Think about it, Lou Rui's traffic is among the best in the industry, what else do you want for a bicycle!"
“But he and Ni Jia are playing a couple——” Zheng Qingzhou realized before he could finish his words that he was getting into trouble. So I suddenly had an idea and said to the assistant director, "Why don't we just have a complete acquaintance game and call me the planner. The recording plan for the middle and later stages of the program needs to be changed..."
New After the plan was made, invitations were sent out again. Han Zhenhao and Shen Xun happened to be scheduled, so they came to participate.
