Chapter 185 Great Changes in My Hometown: An Olive Branch from Yanjing TV Station
"Mom, it's so cold, why don't you turn on the air conditioner?"
Su Yang carried his things into the living room, which was freezing cold. His younger brothers and sisters were also dressed warmly, their faces flushed with cold.
"Oh, it's not cold yet. I'll go open it now. I've opened your room for you in advance. Yaoyao, if you're cold, go back to your room and warm up for a while."
Mother Zhang smiled and said, "I'm still worried about the electricity bill. Although I'm not short of money, I've saved money all my life, but when I think about the electricity consumed by the air conditioner, I can't bear it."
"Mom, I'm not cold. I'm wearing very warm clothes."
Qin Shuyao said with a smile. Qin Shuyao didn't look like she was wearing thick clothes, but she wasn't really cold. After all, her clothes were very expensive and had a very good warmth-keeping effect.
"Mom, don't save on electricity from now on. We're not broke, and it's so cold this winter. It wouldn't be worth it if you caught a cold. Besides, your health isn't very good, so you need to keep warm. I'll turn it on. From now on, we'll keep the air conditioner on whenever we're home. And in the rooms where the kids are in class, we'll keep it on too..."
Su Yang couldn't help but grumble. Now that he was making more money, his life had changed. He used to be poor, broke, and had to endure the winter. Now that he had money, he could live as comfortably as he pleased.
As for the idea that freezing cold makes you stronger, Su Yang thought it was all bullshit. The kids in Beijing had central heating in the winter and air conditioning in the summer, and they weren't in poor health. On the other hand, rural kids had to train hard during the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter. Many of them spent the winter battling colds and fevers. How could they grow while sick?
"Mom, just listen to Yangyang from now on. We don't need this little money, we just need to take care of our health. Besides, if you don't use the air conditioner you spent so much money on, it will just be useless. Let's just make do here for now, and it will be much more comfortable when we move to the school after the New Year. I've had central air conditioning and a ground-source heat pump installed there, and we'll have floor heating so we can be comfortable in the winter."
Qin Shuyao also advised Zhang's mother that this amount of money was nothing in her eyes. The money she usually spent on a bag could probably pay for electricity bills for many years.
"good……"
Zhang's mother was very willing to listen to her daughter-in-law's words. Besides, she knew that the family didn't need this little money. There was still a lot of money in the card Su Yang gave her. It was just that she was used to saving money and couldn't change it for a while.
The air conditioner in the living room was on, sending hot air blowing in. Although the living room was large, the air conditioner was quite powerful. Besides, although Sanshan Village was cold, the temperature wasn't as low as in Yanjing.
Soon, the room became warm, and the children's faces were full of smiles. The contrast between the cold and the heat made their little faces rosy and very cute.
Mother Zhang had already prepared the meal. She had been busy all afternoon when she learned that Su Yang and Qin Shuyao were coming back. The sumptuous meal on the table washed away the fatigue of Qin Shuyao and Su Yang.
To be honest, Zhang's mother's cooking skills couldn't compare to Su Yang's. But Su Yang ate with great relish; in his opinion, this was his favorite flavor. Qin Shuyao also ate quite a bit. She had been in the car all day and hadn't eaten well, so now that she was feeling energetic, she naturally ate more.
Seeing Su Yang and Qin Shuyao wolfing down their food, Zhang's mother's face was full of smiles. As a mother, don't you like to see this scene?
The whole living room became lively with so many people together. This kind of atmosphere is something that ordinary families would never feel.
After dinner, it’s the children’s favorite time to open their presents.
"Mom, try this down jacket..."
"Mom, this set of cosmetics is placed here..."
"mom……"
Qin Shuyao unpacked a bunch of things and took Zhang's mother back to her room to get busy. This time, Qin Shuyao bought a lot of clothes for Zhang's mother. Of course, the selection was made by Su Yang, who had a professional eye.
The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was so harmonious that Su Yang's face was full of smiles when he saw this scene. He did not care about it, but gathered a group of younger brothers and sisters together and happily opened their gifts. Seeing the smiles on their faces, Su Yang felt much happier and full of a sense of accomplishment.
Just when Su Yang and Qin Shuyao returned home to enjoy the warm moment, a meeting was still being held in the conference room of Yanjing TV Station.
The final of "Masked Singer" made Yanjing TV a hit.
However, after the finals of "The Masked Singer", Yanjing TV once again fell from the altar. The ratings of the program that took over "The Masked Singer" made Yanjing TV fall back to its original position.
As happy as "Masked Singer" was back then, as uncomfortable as everyone at Yanjing TV is now.
I can't go on like this. I can't go on the second season of "Masked Singer" right away. Besides, even if I go on the second season, the ratings may not be that good without the big devil Su Yang.
Therefore, seeking changes and planning better programs is the top priority.
The planners within Yanjing TV have already exhausted their talents. After all, they had already started planning the program to succeed "Masked Singer" a long time ago, and they are also unhappy with the current results.
With no other options available internally, Yanjing Television's leadership turned their attention to foreign content. Importing foreign variety shows has always been a popular strategy for television stations. However, the best variety shows have largely been snatched up by Mango TV and Blue Channel. Alternatively, the prices are so high that Yanjing Television simply doesn't dare import them.
In this situation, a variety show came into their sight.
"Super Boy" is a self-made online variety show created by Su Yang and Qin Shuyao.
This variety show made Wang Yunze and others famous.
Not only that, the popularity of this variety show on the Internet was quite good at first. And recently, this variety show has become popular again, and netizens have taken it back to re-review it. The reason is very simple. Su Yang is popular, and Dream Era is popular.
In Dream Generation, the most popular girl group in South Korea, there are three Chinese members, two of whom are from the show "Metamorphosis". Although the other one did not participate in "Metamorphosis", the reason why Qin Ziran became a hot topic in the public was originally because of Wang Yunze's confession.
All three of them are related to "Super Boy".
Qin Ziran, Yang Mengmeng, and Tang Tianyi are very popular in China right now. Many of their fans who hadn't watched "Metamorphosis" before have gone back to watch it again.
The Masked Singer made Su Yang a god, and after becoming a god, his fans also went to watch Wen Gu's Metamorphosis.
The popularity of Metamorphosis is very good now. It is precisely because of this that Yanjing TV has set its sights on Metamorphosis.
Went up there.
"Director, we can contact Qin Shuyao and Su Yang first. I think the soul of this program is Su Yang. As long as Su Yang is willing to participate, the popularity of this program will not be low."
Program Director Wang Xu's words made everyone nod.
Indeed, the team behind "Metamorphosis" had already thoroughly researched this approach. As for the model, it's actually not too new. This way of experiencing rural life has actually been around for a long time.
But why is "Metamorphosis" becoming so popular? Ultimately, it's all about Su Yang's character. The father he plays is a scoundrel. These spoiled city kids, when faced with this scoundrel, are completely subdued.
It's a simple case of fighting violence with violence. You are arrogant, but Su Yang is even more arrogant than you. If you are the little devil at home, then Su Yang is the big devil. No matter how powerful the little devil is, he will eventually be betrayed by the big devil.
This is the essence of "Metamorphosis". This is not "Metamorphosis". It is more accurate to call it "The Big Devil Takes Down the Little Devil".
"Then contact Qin Shuyao and Su Yang to see if they're interested in selling. We can sell the copyright, co-produce, or even separate production and broadcasting. But the prerequisite is that Su Yang participates in the program recording. Our biggest task now is to increase our ratings."
Director Yu Xiaodong said seriously.
Having experienced glory, one cherishes it even more. "The Masked Singer" brought Yanjing TV to prominence and gave Yu Xiaodong a broader vision. If Yanjing TV can boost its ratings under his leadership, his accomplishment will be significant, and his hopes for further advancement will likely be even greater.
"What is Yanjing TV?"
In Sanshan Village, in the bedroom, Qin Shuyao received a call from Tang Qing. When Tang Qing finished telling her what happened, Qin Shuyao was also a little surprised.
"What's wrong"
Su Yang asked curiously.
"Honey, Sister Qing said that Yanjing Television wants to collaborate with us on 'Metamorphosis.' We can sell the copyright to them, co-produce it, or even separate the production and broadcasting if we have the ability. But they said you have to participate in the recording of this program."
Qin Shuyao’s words stunned Su Yang.
“Why do you have to let me participate?”
Su Yang couldn't help but ask. He didn't really like participating in the show. It was too tiring. When he filmed the first season of "Metamorphosis", he wanted to promote his village. It was okay if it was a little tiring.
Now that my village has become so good and I have money, it would be so tiring to participate in the show again.
"Hubby, if you don't want to, I'll let Sister Qing refuse."
Qin Shuyao smiled and said that she now respected Su Yang very much. She also knew that Su Yang was lazy and liked to win by doing nothing. In fact, Qin Shuyao didn't want Su Yang to participate in "Transformation" because it was too tiring.
"Don't rush to refuse. Yanjing TV is looking for a good variety show, right? I don't want to participate in 'Metamorphosis', but I have a new variety show planned. Ask Sister Qing to ask Yanjing TV if they're interested."
Su Yang said with a smile, which made Qin Shuyao stunned, but Su Yang's face was full of mystery.
"Okay, I'll have Sister Qing tell them. By the way, do you want to write a copy for Yanjing TV to look at first?"
Qin Shuyao asked curiously.
"No need, wife. If Yanjing TV wants to cooperate this time, then we should separate production and broadcasting. Otherwise, forget it. At worst, we can just go with the online variety show model. In short, we must control the copyright. As for 'Metamorphosis', don't worry, I already have someone selected, and he will definitely be able to hold the stage."
Su Yang smiled mysteriously.
Qin Shuyao looked at Su Yang and didn't ask much, but she was very curious in her heart. Who was the person Su Yang chose? Who else could hold the scene better than Su Yang?
Qin Shuyao told Tang Qing the details, and Tang Qing quickly reported the situation to Yanjing TV Station.
"New Variety Show"
After receiving the news from Tang Qing, Yanjing TV was stunned.
The news that Su Yang was planning a new variety show was something the people at Yanjing TV couldn't take lightly. Although they were a little nervous, they didn't dare underestimate Su Yang. This guy Su Yang was too weird, and his talent was too incredible. "Masked Singer" had already proven Su Yang's talent, so now that Su Yang was talking about a new variety show, Yanjing TV had to take it seriously. They would wait and see if it was any good.
"Director Wang, you should leave tomorrow. Go find Su Yang in person and ask him about the situation in detail. Also, if the quality of Metamorphosis can be guaranteed, we can consider it."
Yu Xiaodong said seriously, and Wang Xu, who was sitting below, nodded. He wanted to go there in person and talk to Su Yang.
On the first night back in Sanshan Village, Qin Shuyao slept very soundly.
Covered with a brand new quilt, hugging Su Yang, Qin Shuyao asked Su Yang to turn off the air conditioner. Because this way Qin Shuyao felt more comfortable in the quilt, it was cold outside, but warm in the quilt. Hugging Su Yang in the warm quilt, the two of them were pressed together, which was really comfortable.
"Mom, I'm going to Brother Hai's house."
The next morning, after breakfast, Su Yang picked up two boxes of things and said to Mother Zhang.
"Well, it's time to go. Your brother Hai just came back not long ago. He didn't even make it to your wedding..."
Mother Zhang said with a smile, Su Yang nodded, picked up the things and took Qin Shuyao out.
When the villagers saw Su Yang and Qin Shuyao, they all greeted them warmly. Qin Shuyao also responded enthusiastically. She now knew many of the villagers.
"Yangyang really married a good wife. Look at her, she's a big star but she doesn't act like one bit arrogant."
"That's right, hey, I'm lucky..."
"Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating. I heard from my daughter that a while ago, these two released an album, and they made hundreds of millions just by releasing an album. Wow, hundreds of millions..."
Looking at the backs of Su Yang and Qin Shuyao, some people couldn't help but whisper about them, and the envy in their eyes could not be concealed at all.
Su Yang didn't care about that and took Qin Shuyao to a house. The house was a bit shabby and it was obvious that it was old.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Su Yang knocked on the door hard.
"Who is it?"
A rough voice came from the yard.
"Brother Hai, it's me, Yangyang..."
Su Yang shouted loudly.
Less than ten seconds after the voice fell, the door opened. A strong man appeared at the door. Seeing this strong man, Qin Shuyao took a breath.
In Qin Shuyao's eyes, Su Yang was already quite sturdy. But compared to the burly man before her, he looked like a tiny chicken. This burly man was nearly two meters tall, with a large frame, and looked like a humanoid bear. His muscles bulged, his skin was dark, and he was wearing only a vest in such a cold weather. It was quite shocking.
"Hahaha, Yangyang, I missed you so much. This must be my sister-in-law, please come in. I didn't have time to come back for your wedding. Sorry..."
Su Donghai said cheerfully and led the two people directly into the yard.
"Grandpa, Yangwazi is here to see you."
Su Donghai shouted loudly, and soon an old man came out of the house. The old man was leaning on a cane, trembling, and smiled when he saw Su Yang. His smile was very cute. The old man had no teeth and was not wearing dentures. When he smiled, his mouth was open, which looked very kind.
