Chapter 218 217. Get ready to broadcast! Amazing variety show appearance fees!
Actually!
A few of them have some expectations for Jiang Chen to write novels, but their expectations are not high.
Because!
Although poets are also writers and authors, those who write novels are also writers and authors.
However, the two can almost be said to be two different fields. The more you are top in one field, the less likely it is to reach the same level in the other field.
Because, on the one hand, human energy is limited, and on the other hand, cognition is also limited!
Jiang Chen can be said to be at the pinnacle of ancient poetry and modern poetry.
So, they felt that even if Jiang Chen wrote novels, he would write something literary and youthful, show his literary talent, and pile up some gorgeous rhetorical sentences.
This is the style of most traditional writers, which mainly displays literary talents and thoughts, and the story is secondary. Therefore, there will be long sections of various scenery and associative descriptions, which will make the viewer drowsy.
But...
Jiang Chen’s short story, Rural Teacher, is obviously not the case.
The wording is concise, even simple. It is mainly about telling stories rather than showing off literary talent.
A few people watched it for a while before finishing it, and they all felt shocked.
Not only was this story shocking and touching, and it gave me a sense of admiration for the teaching profession, but it was also shocking that Jiang Chen had written such a touching science fiction novel?
Of course, in their view, science fiction is just the background setting, not the main thing. This novel does not have some science fiction settings that they cannot understand. It mainly uses background stories to highlight the greatness of the teaching profession.
After Yan Ruyu finished reading, she looked at Jiang Chen who was sitting there taking a rest and drinking tea, with some admiration appearing in her eyes again.
As a top student who graduated from the Chinese Department of Shuimu, she naturally has good appreciation skills. She knows that this short story is definitely an excellent science fiction novel and will definitely be welcomed when published.
Yan Ruyu came to Jiang Chen and asked curiously: "How did you come up with the idea of writing science fiction novels? I just heard that you wanted to write science fiction novels, and I thought it was very fun!"
Jiang Chen smiled and said: "I just want to write it. Every man has a dream of stars and sea. If I have some ideas, I will write them down."
Yan Ruyu gave a thumbs up and did not hesitate to praise: "It's so well written! Do you want me to help you publish it?"
Jiang Chen nodded: "Well, you can help me submit it for publication. Don't If you say it was written by me, just use my pen name.”
Yan Ruyu was curious: "Have you decided on a pen name?"
Jiang Chen: "Let's call it Chongzi."
Yan Ruyu's eyes widened slightly: "Chongzhi? Why is it called this? Name?”
Jiang Chen smiled: "You will know after you read my second novel!"
Yan Ruyu nodded slightly, looked at the stack of manuscript paper on the desk full of notes, and said with admiration: "Look Come on, you really have a lot of ideas. I’ve already written the second novel. So many, so awesome!”
Every student studying Chinese has a literary dream. Yan Ruyu has also tried to create before, writing poetry, prose, novels, some poems and Essays have also been published in school magazines and coterie magazines. She has also seen other students and acquaintances try their hand at creating.
However, there are really very few people who are famous for their writing.
People like Jiang Chen who stand at the pinnacle of history in the field of poetry and can write such shocking novels are truly unique in the entire history.
Han Qing and Chen Xiaojia also finished reading this short story, and their eyes were a little red, obviously they were moved.
Han Qing said: "Teaching is indeed a great profession, especially the teachers who used to guard the mountain villages. My dad said that when he went to school in the countryside as a child, there were only two teachers in the whole school, teaching one There are more than a hundred children, from first grade to fifth grade, and all the courses are taught by two teachers. There is no leisure time at all every day. "
"It is a pity that this is the case. Teachers are still unemployed, and their working wages are not high. When they are old, their retirement wages are also very low, which is just enough to live on. My father used to bring some food and gifts to his teachers when he went to the countryside. "< br>
Today’s young people basically grew up going to school in cities or towns. The villages are almost empty, so when it comes to rural teachers, most young people and children do not have specific qualifications. concept.
Only those who have experienced it know that rural teachers are the greatest group of teachers. They give the most and get the least, whether it is material or fame, but they are still willing to give and cherish the love. A true loving heart of a teacher.
Chen Xiaojia, Pu Yuexi, Li Wen, Wang Jing, and Yan Ruyu were very moved after hearing Han Qing's words, but they didn't have a deep understanding after all, because they had never seen it.
When the time came, Jiang Chen went back to his room to take a nap.
Han Qing, Yan Ruyu, Pu Yuexi and others packed up and returned to the front yard.
Yan Ruyu took the manuscript written by Jiang Chen and prepared to help Jiang Chen submit it.
But!
Han Qing said softly: "When you submit your manuscript, just input it on the computer and submit it electronically. I will take Jiang Chen's manuscript back and keep it for safekeeping."
After hearing this, Yan Ruyu nodded: "Yeah , I know that Jiang Chen's manuscripts are very rare. Although they are written in pen, they are still very rare. It is the pinnacle of hard-pen calligraphy.”
Looking at Jiang Chen’s handwriting on the manuscript paper in his hand, Yan Ruyu still felt a sense of pleasure. This kind of calligraphy can be said to be second to none among the hard-pen calligraphy in the past century. No other hard-pen calligraphy master can compare with Jiang Chen.
This is the difference in realm.
Jiang Chen has reached the pinnacle of history in the field of calligraphy. For the time being, he is still the second person in history, second only to Wang Youjun, but he is not far away from surpassing Wang Youjun and becoming the first person in history. With such a high level of calligraphy, it can be said that writing hard-pen calligraphy is within reach and is easy to master.
Although, in the field of calligraphy, hard-pen calligraphy has never been on the stage and is not recognized by traditional calligraphers.
However, Jiang Chen’s hard-pen calligraphy manuscript will definitely arouse the astonishment and recognition of all calligraphy circles.
So!
Yan Ruyu naturally doesn’t know how to hand it over to others when submitting articles. That would be like a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return.
After chatting with Han Qing and others for a few words, Yan Ruyu left with Jiang Chen's manuscript, quickly rushed back to Sichuan University, and contacted magazine publishers in the science fiction field to prepare to submit Jiang Chen's manuscript.
Han Qing, on the other hand, quickly informed the Internet that Jiang Chen would be broadcasting tonight.
The message will be sent out as soon as it is announced.
There was a shock in an instant.
The top hot topic on all major social platforms was instantly occupied by Jiang Chen!
“Lao Jiang, all the flowers I have been waiting for are about to wither.”
"Where is Lao Jiang broadcasting at night? Penguin Live or Douyue Live?"
"It's okay, Lao Jiang's songs are all new. I'm not tired of listening to them yet. Lao Jiang's songs are played on a loop every day. , it’s not that boring.”
“Oh, oh, Xiao Qingzi, why don’t we start broadcasting now?”
“Lao Jiang is taking a nap now, let’s wait until night!”
"I will definitely be there tonight."
"I gave up the dinner party in the evening and stayed at home to watch Lao Jiang's live broadcast."
"I won't go to work overtime at night!"
"Lao Jiang has been in seclusion for a few days. Will any masterpieces come out?"
“Lao Jiang…………”
…You can see news discussing Jiang Chen’s upcoming broadcast on all major social platforms.
Li Yumin, who was broadcasting on Douyue, finally breathed a sigh of relief. After seeing these news, his heart was relieved. If Jiang Chen really stopped broadcasting for a month or two, then what he had sent out would be Five percent of the shares are really going to be wasted.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen was only off the air for about a week!
Jiang Chen’s popularity on the Internet is even higher than before, and his popularity shouldn’t drop too much after the show starts.
Li Yumin immediately put the company into operation, preparing for Jiang Chen to start broadcasting in the evening, and announced the news that Jiang Chen was about to start broadcasting on Douyue.
Many fans and fans who are waiting for Jiang Chen to start the broadcast have remembered the Douyue live broadcast!
……
At the same time!
Guo Haitao also received a call from Han Qing.
“Director Guo, Jiang Chen said that we can agree to perform on stage!”
Han Qing told the result first when she opened her mouth.
Guo Haitao said happily: "That's great, can we do it next week?"
He couldn't wait to let Jiang Chen perform on the show as soon as possible so that the ratings would pick up.
As for whether Jiang Chen can beat foreign singers, he actually doesn't expect that much. At worst, he can just make a final move and force Jiang Chen to win. He will get both ratings and the championship.
Win-win!
but!
Han Qing immediately said: "Director Guo, don't worry. Jiang Chen has requirements."
Guo Haitao also quickly said: "Don't worry, just tell me what your requirements are. For appearance fees, we follow the top standards in the industry , based on the number of performances, the appearance fee for one performance is only a few dollars, which is already higher than that of all other top stars.” Millions, and top celebrities can approach tens of millions!
Variety shows are calculated based on one season, so they are not based on the number of shows. The contract for the entire season is tens of millions!
For someone like Jiang Chen, paying 15 million for one performance is absolutely sky-high. Four performances can cost 60 million, and other top-notch full-season contracts only cost this much.
Han Qing said: "It's not about money. Director Guo, Jiang Chen's request is that his work and rest time will not change. He needs to take a nap at noon and go to bed at ten o'clock in the evening. Therefore, before nine o'clock in the evening I have to get off work! As for the appearance fee, Jiang Chen doesn’t have high requirements, but as his temporary manager, I think fifteen million per performance is a bit low. Yes, twenty-five million is a more appropriate price.”
“You have to know that Jiang Chen’s income from a live show is at least hundreds of millions. I will only quote you twenty-five million. , It’s really not high.”
If she hadn’t known that the other party couldn’t afford it and knew the market conditions in the entertainment industry, Han Qing would have wanted to quote 100 million for a performance!
Based on the fact that Jiang Chen’s income from one live broadcast performance is at least over 100 million, or even 200 to 300 million, even if Han Qing quoted 100 million to Guo Haitao, it would not be high, and Jiang Chen would still lose money.
It’s just...
The Singer Contest program team cannot afford this price, and it is impossible for Xiangnan Satellite TV to pay such an outrageous appearance fee for Jiang Chen alone.
One show costs 100 million. How many more performances will there be? Doesn’t it cost hundreds of millions?
The entire show didn’t earn that much.
Han Qing is Jiang Chen's manager for the time being. If she thinks purely from the perspective of profit, then Jiang Chen should refuse a performance that only earns tens of millions.
With that kind of performance time, the income from a live broadcast is much higher.
However, Han Qing specifically checked the current news about the King of Singer Competition, and she also hoped that Jiang Chen could turn the tide, save the Chinese music scene, and defeat foreign singers on the stage, which would also bring Jiang Chen a better life. Gaining more popularity and exposure will be more beneficial to Jiang Chen's long-term development.
After all...
The live streaming circle is ultimately at the lower level of the entertainment circle’s contempt chain.
If Jiang Chen proves himself on TV, his influence will be greater and he will get rid of the restrictions of the live broadcast circle.
Jiang Chen himself can be willful and do whatever he wants, and Han Qing is also very supportive.
However, Han Qing was always thinking about Jiang Chen's long-term future.
Of course, if Jiang Chen really lives in seclusion, Han Qing is willing to live in seclusion with Jiang Chen.
And now that Jiang Chen continues to live broadcast and appear on TV variety shows, Han Qing will once again basically fight for the best interests of Jiang Chen.
Guo Haitao felt a little overwhelmed after hearing what Han Qing said.
Jiang Chen's request left him speechless!
The King of Songs Contest is a live broadcast, and it is broadcast simultaneously on a video platform and on TV. It is a prime time slot at 8 o'clock on weekend evenings. The program lasts about an hour and a half and lasts until 9:30, plus advertisements. It might take longer.
There is no problem in arranging Jiang Chen to perform before nine o'clock.
But...
Guo Haitao hopes Jiang Chen will save the ratings, so Jiang Chen's appearance time must be carefully arranged to maximize his popularity.
At the same time, this is also a singing competition variety show, and the order of appearance is also based on ranking, not arbitrary arrangement.
As for the price issue!
Guo Haitao's expectation is that he can negotiate for less than 30 million.
Because he also knew how much money Jiang Chen could earn from a live broadcast, so he was really embarrassed that the appearance fee was less.
And Han Qing asked for 25 million, so he could agree directly.
There may be four or five subsequent performances, each worth 25 million, and Jiang Chen can get more than 100 million.
This is an absolutely sky-high price for the entertainment industry. If other celebrities receive this appearance fee, they will definitely be suspected of participating in money laundering.
However, when Jiang Chen took this price, Guo Haitao knew that Jiang Chen really lost money, and other insiders in the circle would not think there was a problem.
So, Guo Haitao didn't dwell on the price issue and asked directly: "Han Qing, can you extend the get off work time by another half an hour? You get off work at half past nine, and Jiang Chen goes to bed at ten o'clock, half an hour should be Is that enough? We can order it for him. The best hotel suite next to it is only ten minutes away from the studio, and it takes ten minutes to wash up when you get back to the hotel."
If anyone else had such a request, Guo Haitao would just do it without saying a word. I hung up the phone, too lazy to talk nonsense.
However, the other party was Jiang Chen, so he could only endure it.
Han Qing said in a serious tone: "Director Guo, these are already the conditions after the concession. There is no way to negotiate. You should know it in your heart."
"So, don't You bargained with me, the conditions are like this, if you can accept it, you can cooperate, if you can't accept it, forget it!"
Guo Haitao was silent.
Since he became famous, no one has spoken to him like this for a long time. In recent years, no matter how big-name celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry speak to him, they are polite and considerate.
"Okay, I'll think about it and discuss it with others."
Guo Haitao said with a stiff tone.
Han Qing: "Okay, Director Guo."
Hung up the phone.
Guo Haitao's face looked a little ugly.
