Chapter 178 Persistence
Came out of Chu Xiaoxiao with a dejected look.
Enron is in a dilemma.
When I told Li Wenyuan, I was full of confidence, but in the end, I didn’t even pass Chu Xiaoxiao’s test.
He knew that Chu Xiaoxiao was doing good for the company, but the money given... was too little.
In the past, if I didn’t do this variety show, I wouldn’t do it.
But it’s different now. Not only does he have to do it, but he also has to do it well, so that Chu Xiaoxiao can understand that he is not messing around.
Speaking of which, Chu Xiaoxiao really can’t be blamed for this.
In this world’s terrible entertainment industry, today’s variety shows are basically inseparable from singing.
Of the one hundred programs a year, ninety are singing programs.
Everyone only saw that a certain program became popular, but did not see that more programs were not popular.
Therefore, a stereotype has been formed in the mind, and ordinary people love to watch singing programs.
This is a good thing.
An Ran thought about it for a long time, and if he wanted to make this show, he could only rely on deception.
No one can be given any money to those who come to participate in the show.
This 600,000 yuan is not enough to pay for the program.
The Variety Show Department does have filming equipment, and there is no problem with staff salaries, as the company pays them.
But during the recording process, don’t we all have to spend money on transportation, accommodation and meals, and borrowing houses from fellow villagers?
Don’t look at these and think they don’t cost much. You’ll realize when you spend them that these places are a waste of money.
An Ran stood in front of the window and scratched her head.
Tangni came in and saw him looking out with a dull look on his face, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She has already heard about the fact that Sister Xiaoxiao gave him 600,000 yuan to produce a variety show.
The omnipotent Mr. An is now staring at the window in a daze, obviously at a loss what to do.
"What are you doing?" Tangni replaced the tea in his cup.
An Ran sighed: "Money... I'm short of money!"
Tangni added water to the cup, "Do you really want to do this show?"
An Ran nodded, "You don't understand. This program is bound to be popular. Look at how many programs there are now. 90% of them are related to music. Even if you are asked to watch it, you will be bored. You are tired of aesthetics. At this time, there needs to be a new format.
The entertainment program is guaranteed to be popular... It's a pity that Sister Xiaoxiao doesn't listen to me."
Tangni heard what he said made sense, took out a bank card from her pocket and stuffed it into his hand.
"There are 500,000 in it. I saved it. Don't let me lose it all!"
That's what she said, but her expression was very calm. In fact, she didn't care at all whether the money could be repaid.
An Ran was stunned.
Holding the card in my hand, I didn’t know what to say.
"What are you doing?" Tangni saw him looking at her blankly, "I don't have much money, I just don't have enough."
"Do you... believe that this show can be successful?"
Tangni said calmly: "I believe you!"
An Ran nodded and pointed to his car downstairs, "Take care of my Phaeton... that's basically enough!"
His Phaeton is a luxury customized model with front four-wheel drive and manual transmission.
When I bought it, it cost more than 2.4 million. After processing it, I should be able to sell it for about 1.5 million.
This adds up to nearly 2 million yuan. Basically, the cost of shooting is almost the same, and it may be enough if it is more difficult.
While he was thinking about it, Tangni grabbed his arm.
"The car cannot be sold!"
"Huh? What?"
Tang Ni said: "Your father bought it for you. You'd better find other ways, or borrow some."
An Ran said nothing.
That Phaeton was a birthday gift from his father, and he was really reluctant to sell it.
But in this situation, what can you do?
All the money on hand adds up to 1.2 million, and he still has tens of thousands on himself.
As for the money for writing songs...
What about dreams? Those are all recorded in the public accounts, and it would be even harder to get them out of Chu Xiaoxiao.
I have a headache!
Tangni held his shoulders and said, "Sit down and rest for a while. Since you want to do it, I believe you will always find a way. If you relax, you might be able to come up with a good idea."
An Ran nodded.
He really didn't expect that one day he would have a headache for the funds to produce the program.
No matter how you say it, I am a second-generation rich man. I used to spend money like water, but now I have to give up my waist for five buckets of rice.
Tang Ni saw him thinking about the problem and said softly: "No, you can find Hu Ge and the others to see if they can do anything!"
An Ran nodded.
Tangni quietly exited.
It is impossible to borrow money from Hu Ge and the others.
Hu Ge and the others promised to give it directly, but then the friendship between them would change. It was rare to have a few true friends in the entertainment industry, and he didn't want this relationship to change.
And there are a lot of worries about doing this, but it is not appropriate to do so.
An Ran took a deep breath.
In this case... I have no choice but to rely on deception. It depends on how good you are at deceiving.
If you come to participate in a variety show, you won't be able to get paid. As for other transportation expenses and so on... you have to take care of it yourself. No matter whether the second or third tier has standards, if he follows that standard, he still won't have enough funds.
All money must be spent on Blade Man.
As for the person you want to invite, it shouldn’t be too famous. You’ll know right away that you won’t be able to come.
It cannot be too low-level and lack attention.
Whose child can’t be watched? Aunt Wang’s grandson next door is cute and naughty, but I don’t know how to watch it! A stranger’s child who comes to watch TV?
All the criteria for recruiting people came out.
Celebrities who have a certain amount of attention, but are not too famous, and who are somewhat outdated and still have some attention are best.
Chen Han can’t run away.
That is for our own artists, let them make time to come, even if they don’t come, they will come.
As for other people, you have to think about it carefully.
An Ran lay down on his desk and started drawing circles.
After writing each name, I crossed it out.
In fact, after all this calculation, there are quite a few candidates.
People with children are slightly older in the entertainment industry, and many of these people have lost their former glory.
It’s not difficult to invite them...but it’s a bit difficult to invite them without spending any money.
His goal is to have a top first-tier star like Chen Han, bring along a has-been second-tier star, and supplement it with a third-tier star, and this can be done.
After shortlisting a few names, An Ran just did it.
The first call was to Chen Han.
"Brother Chen..."
"???"
Chen Han felt a little uncomfortable after hearing the call, "You suddenly called me brother? Why do I feel like there is a conspiracy... Tell me, what is it?"
An Ran said "hehe" twice, "There is no such thing as a conspiracy. Remember the variety show I told you a few days ago!"
Hearing this, Chen Han perked up.
"Remember, what happened? You have an idea?"
"Of course, I've done all the planning and everything, and now I'm officially inviting you to join!"
"I'm going, and you invited me to join? The words are getting better and better... Tell me, what kind of show is it?"
"Ahem!" An Ran coughed twice and said, "By the way, how old is your son? I think he is 6 years old!"
"7 years old!"
Chapter completed!
