Chapter 232 Lu Man’s New Variety Show: Star Detective
After all, she is just an ordinary, unknown, temporary worker in the company.
The job is to knead mud.
I hardly touch upon anything else.
So, on the way, Yu Qiaoqiao didn't think there was anything wrong with Chen Yan asking her to attend the meeting. But when Yang Rou clearly listed the outline of today's meeting, Yu Qiaoqiao realized... these things seemed to have nothing to do with her. Why did she come to the meeting?
Perhaps noticing Yu Qiaoqiao's strange expression, Chen Yan just glanced at her, smiled, and said nothing.
He had a reason for asking Yu Qiaoqiao to attend the meeting...
Yang Rou was always serious about her work. Even though the two people at the main table glanced at each other, she didn't pay attention. Instead, she looked at the documents in her hands and said step by step, "Well, let's go over the first topic first. "
"The box office of Love Is Not Blind has officially exceeded 600 million. The first part of the early share has been transferred to us. Now there is still 200 million box office share that has not been received. It will be transferred to us in the next half month."
After saying that, she looked up at everyone, then started to applaud with an expressionless face.
Perhaps because Yang Rou was so powerful, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but applaud along.
After only two seconds of drumming, Yang Rou stopped what she was doing, looked down at the document, and said, "Let's move on to the second item."
Maybe it was because Yang Rou had no expression on her face from beginning to end, and she stopped clapping immediately, so her expressionless cuteness immediately filled the office with a strange atmosphere...
Is this an emotionless clapping machine?
It’s that simple, the first topic is over?
This will look very short...
Just as everyone was thinking this, Yang Rou slowly spoke up, "The second topic is that the plan for our new variety show has been finalized."
As she spoke, Yang Rou nodded towards Yang Nuannuan, who immediately stood up, took a stack of information, came to Chen Yan, and handed the information to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan took it, raised his head, and saw Yang Nuannuan's beautiful face with gentleness.
After Yang Nuannuan handed the information to Chen Yan, she began to distribute the information one by one.
Soon, everyone in the conference room had a copy of the document in their hands.
Chen Yan flipped through the information on this project.
Chen Yan knew about this project. It was an inspiration Yang Rou had gotten by chance before.
It all started when an employee of the company was watching a video introducing a new trend in foreign affairs while having dinner. The video talked about script-killing, a tabletop game that had just become popular.
Yang Rou had a flash of inspiration at that moment and thought this game seemed interesting.
After that, she began to study the game and found that this gameplay was particularly suitable for being made into a variety show.
Recruit some screenwriters and game planners, and then write detective suspense scripts. Let the stars draw a role of their own in each episode, and get the script of their own role to perform.
Among them are murderers, detectives, spectators, and suspects who wanted to kill but failed.
The killer's goal was to hide his identity and avoid being caught.
Others' goal is to catch the murderer.
From her professional perspective, this kind of variety show is very eye-catching and interesting.
It can also help Lu Man maintain his popularity.
So under Chen Yan's instruction, she started planning this variety show.
Now, after several months of revisions, the plan in Yang Rou's hand has finally taken shape.
Holding the plan for the new project in his hand, Chen Yan flipped through it while listening to Yang Rou's story.
"I have discussed this program with Mr. Song. We have the legal procedures for recording variety shows, so we can produce it. As for the broadcasting platform, we have already had preliminary discussions with our province's Qindong TV and Tengxun Video, an online broadcasting platform."
"They are very interested in our variety show and really want to cooperate."
"Except for some details that have not been finalized, there are almost no major problems."
"So there are only two issues left. One is the venue. Originally our company didn't have a studio to record the show, so we discussed with the two partners whether we could borrow their venues."
“But the results were not very good.”
"Now, we have a new office building, which solves this problem. The 3,000-square-meter site is completely sufficient for our initial use."
Chen Yan nodded slightly.
Yang Rou continued, "The second question is about the guests."
“I would like to divide the guests of this show into three groups based on the frequency of recording.”
"The first category is permanent guests. They will sign long-term contracts and will remain in the show for a long time, no matter how many episodes the show lasts. They are the core of the show and also the guarantee of the basic ratings."
"The second tier consists of guests who come almost every episode, but can also occasionally not come. They don't need to be tied to the show, but can rely on the show to constantly show their faces, or contribute to higher ratings for the show."
"The third category is the flying guests. They can be invited at will. It depends on the specific situation."
Having said this, Yang Rou paused, then stood up, looked around the office, tapped the table lightly with the pen in her hand, and said coldly, "Then the problem comes."
"Lu Man...how should we arrange it?"
"What level of guest will she be?"
"How will her future development direction be determined?"
“And this is the third topic for today.”
After hearing Yang Rou's words, the office fell silent for a moment.
Lu Man’s development has actually always been a big deal for the company.
After all, whether it is an agency, a film and television company or a distribution company, they are all built around Lu Man as the core.
When they were formed, Chen Yan pointed out clearly that these companies were all for Lu Man’s service.
Before, when facing pressure from the external environment, the three companies worked together to create the hit "Love Is Not Blind", breaking through the external pressure.
However, with the sudden decrease in external environmental pressure, the three companies began to feel confused about their future development path.
It's okay for someone like Sister Meili, who is helping Lu Man digest the benefits of the blockbuster movie and is preparing to win awards.
People like Yang Rou, who can't sit still, took out the finished product first, but were stuck with Lu Man and couldn't proceed to the next step. They were gradually becoming passive.
Song Chuang's publishing company belongs to the downstream of the industry. Because it has no products, it has completely stagnated.
After all, Lu Man is the core.
When her future development was not decided, several companies did not dare to act rashly.
This is the most important thing about today's meeting: to determine the development direction of Luman, and then the three companies will work together again and move forward...
Seeing the meeting room begin to fall into silence, even Lu Man was a little confused. Chen Yan coughed and said, "For Lu Man's development, I will first set a general direction."
Hearing Chen Yan say this, several people in the office looked at Chen Yan.
Lu Man also looked at Chen Yan with sharp eyes.
Chen Yan said, "Manman has always wanted to become a superstar. So let's work towards this goal."
At this point, Chen Yan paused, and nodded his fingers lightly on the table. "The first goal is to bring Manman to the forefront. It's that simple."
Speaking of the "front-line" position, Chen Yan couldn't help but think of the "career path" in the "game".
Last time, Yu Qiaoqiao's career definitely gave Chen Yan a surprise: he now had a second girlfriend.
Lu Man’s current career level has reached [Second-tier Star], and the next step is [First-tier Star].
If she advances in her career, will it surprise herself as well?
Could it be... that there will be another girlfriend? ...
…
After setting the tone, Chen Yan looked at Lu Man and said, "Man Man, I have set the goal. Tell me if you have any other requirements. Let us help you with your reference."
Since they are all family, Lu Man does not need to continue to maintain his own personality.
When she heard Chen Yan calling her name, she laughed twice and said, "Actually, I don't have any other requests. I just want... not to maintain my current persona."
Chen Yan said, "No more?"
Lu Man's little head shook like a rattle.
Just as Chen Yan was about to order the next person, Lu Man quickly said, "Oh, yeah, there's one more."
People in the office couldn't help but look at her.
Lu Man said, "Don't be too tired..."
"It would be best if I didn't have to do anything. You could just make me a superstar."
Hearing Lu Man's "true" answer, Yu Qiaoqiao covered her mouth and smiled softly.
Yang Nuannuan also smiled gently and wrote down Lu Man’s “request” in the notebook: she was the recorder of this meeting.
Chen Yan rolled his eyes at her and ignored her.
Chen Yan looked at Sister Meili and said, "Meili. You are Manman's agent. What do you think of Manman's current situation? What are your plans for her future?"
It is obvious that Sister Meili has not been doing nothing during this period.
She opened a document in front of her and said, "I actually made some arrangements for Manman's development direction. But because the main problem before was that she was banned, I never brought it up for discussion. I'll talk about it later."
She paused, then continued, "As for Manman's status."
"Before being banned, Manman's status was at the bottom of the second tier. After all, her popularity was a bit fake. Everyone knows how the popularity of traffic stars works."
"But now she is different. With her masterpiece Love Is Not Blind, a box office of 600 million yuan, and a short period of popularity, her status has already reached the top of the second-tier. With just one more step forward, she can touch the first-tier position."
“But this step is not easy to take.”
