Chapter 236 "Suyang Show" settled: The strongest talk show is ready to take off
Overnight, Su Donghai became famous, and he became extremely popular. In one night, his followers increased by over two million, which shows how popular Su Donghai was at that moment.
"Man vs. Wild" is the first variety show of its kind in China and even in the world. Su Donghai is the first person to play extreme wilderness games on a TV show.
It is novel, powerful, exciting and thrilling, and coupled with Su Donghai's occasional funny personality, the audience enjoys watching it.
The comments below Su Donghai's Weibo are even more lively, almost becoming a kingdom of vulgarity, with a particularly unique style. Su Donghai and the young and handsome guys are two extremes, and their female fans are naturally different.
The younger ones all like fresh-faced boys. At their age, how could they understand how good Su Donghai is?
With Hai Ye's physique and physical strength, he can lift people up and do difficult moves with absolute ease. If you ask those young guys to try, they will probably be exhausted if they can't perform a single move.
Regardless, this was good news for Qingyao Media. The popularity of "Man vs. Wild" truly exceeded Tang Qing's expectations. She'd originally thought the show would be just fine as long as it didn't lose money, but who knew it would become such a hit? Su Yang's talent was once again proven. Although the show was produced by Su Donghai, it was Su Yang who orchestrated it.
Simply put, even if there was no Su Donghai, Su Yang would still be popular if he found someone else.
The sudden popularity of "Man vs. Wild" and Su Donghai was a good start for the newly established Qingyao Media.
However, compared to "Man vs. Wild", Qingyao Media's real blockbuster work is "Su Yang Show", which was urgently launched by Su Yang.
Many people gathered in Qingyao Media's conference room today. Representatives from major TV stations and several major online platforms had been invited by Tang Qing for one purpose: to bid.
The broadcast rights for television and the exclusive online broadcast rights were awarded to the highest bidder. The bidding process was conducted in a blinded format, with each bidder writing their price in an envelope and handing it to Tang Qing, who would then announce the results.
"Welcome everyone, let's not waste any time on small talk. This collaboration adopts a production-broadcast separation model. I won't go into much else, as you're all experts. Let's take a look at the work first, and then you can come up with the pricing..."
Tang Qing said with a smile, and then the large screen in the conference room lit up. Tang Qing clicked on the first episode of "Su Yang Show" that she had prepared and began to play. Everyone in the room fell silent, watching the show attentively.
Soon, many people in the room couldn't help but stifle their laughter. However, considering that their colleagues were present, many simply suppressed their expressions, trying their best to remain expressionless. However, this stifled laughter made Tang Qing almost laugh like crazy.
Tang Qing had naturally watched the first episode, and she laughed so hard her stomach hurt. Su Yang was adept at delivering all kinds of jokes, and his stage manner was very relaxed, like chatting with a friend, but a casual remark could make you burst out laughing.
Before I knew it, the first episode was over. The entire show was 80 minutes long, but it was packed with laughs. Based on current events, Su Yang offered sharp commentary while being amusing.
"Everyone, you've finished watching the show. I'll give you all the time this morning. I'll be in this conference room again at 3 p.m., and I'll be waiting for your answers."
Tang Qing smiled and said that she is now full of confidence in this program.
Su Yang's talent is still very reliable. Tang Qing's words made the people in the conference room disperse. After leaving Qingyao Media, everyone immediately got busy, making phone calls and holding video conferences.
A masterpiece, an absolute masterpiece.
This time, they finally saw how awesome Su Yang was. Su Yang had participated in Metamorphosis before, but in Metamorphosis, his talent and charm were never fully revealed.
The current "Su Yang Show" is where Su Yang's talent is at full strength. The 80-minute talk show is so captivating that I barely feel the passage of time. I laugh from beginning to end.
There are jokes, touching moments, as well as sharp comments and life lessons. In a word, it has a lot of selling points.
After everyone left, Tang Qing came to Su Yang's office, knocked on the door and walked in.
"Gone"
Su Yang, who was busy, raised his head and asked, and Tang Qing nodded.
“I don’t know what price they will offer.”
Tang Qing couldn't help but say.
"Why think so much? You won't lose money anyway."
Su Yang's words also made Tang Qing laugh. Damn, what kind of mentality is this? As long as the relationship doesn't cost money, it's fine. But thinking about Su Yang's style of doing things, it seems that this has always been the case.
As long as he didn't lose money, Su Yang was indeed very relaxed. However, Tang Qing, as the CEO, didn't think so. As the CEO, her responsibility was to make more money.
"By the way, which TV station do you prefer to cooperate with this time?"
Tang Qing asked directly.
"If the prices are similar, I'd choose Yanjing TV. After all, we've worked together before and are familiar with each other. And in the future, 'Longing for Life' will also collaborate with Yanjing TV. We both live in Yanjing, so maybe we'll be able to use each other for something in the future."
Su Yang said with a smile, and Tang Qing nodded. This was also Tang Qing's idea. The company was in Yanjing, she lived in Yanjing, and many of her connections were also in Yanjing.
Being able to collaborate with Yanjing Television is a good thing for both myself and the company's development. This isn't the first time the two sides have collaborated. The collaboration on "Metamorphosis" has been relatively smooth, and the previous collaboration on "Masked Singer" was also quite good.
Most importantly, Yanjing TV has ambition but lacks real power, a completely different approach from Mango and Blue TV. Its current policy is to sacrifice profits as long as it can boost ratings.
If Mango or Blue Channel were to separate production and broadcasting, they probably wouldn't be so readily accepting. Even if they did, they would likely lower the price. They're used to being the leader, and they have the qualifications and the power. How could they be willing to let a media company take the initiative?
While Tang Qing was happily chatting with Su Yang, the major TV stations and online platforms became lively.
Price. Now all they had to do was determine their lowest bid. There was only one bid, so now was no time to hide. Just offer whatever price you could. Whether or not you could win the bid depended on Tang Qing's decision. This was the power of a fine piece of work. If it wasn't a good piece, even if you approached them with your work and begged them, they wouldn't even glance at you.
"Director Wang, how is it?"
Yanjing TV Station, seeing Wang Xu coming back, the director of Yanjing TV Station hurriedly asked.
"I can only say it's incredible. Although I was mentally prepared, after watching 'Su Yang Show,' I was still shocked. My opinion is that it must be won and aired on Friday nights. I think this show has the potential to dethrone Mango TV and Blue TV."
Wang Xu's words made the station director swallow his saliva. "Metamorphosis" is very popular now, but its potential is indeed limited, and there are only a few episodes left.
The popularity of "Man vs. Wild" tempted the station director to reconsider the idea, but after a phone call, he gave up. The show can only be produced once a month, and if something unexpected happens, it could take longer. Such a show is definitely not suitable for broadcast on TV.
So, "Su Yang Show" became the key. Now that Wang Xu said this, the director was even more excited. Just thinking about it, he felt excited to see Yanjing TV top the ratings by crushing Mango and Blue Channel.
"It looks like there's going to be a lot of bleeding this time."
After hesitating for a long time, the station director couldn't help but say, "There are many competitors this time, and it's impossible to win this program without spending a lot of money. But if this program can make Yanjing TV reach the top, all the expenses will be worth it."
In China, competition between TV stations is extremely fierce. Although they are all state-owned TV stations, they have been fighting each other to the death for their own interests.
Yanjing TV held an emergency meeting, as did other TV stations. Especially Blue TV and Mango TV, whose representatives were equally discerning and saw the potential of this program.
If they cannot get this program, then this program will become the biggest competitor of their TV station.
Depressed, they were really depressed at the moment. As for spending money, they were reluctant to spend so much. After all, the programs on their current TV station were not bad, and they produced them themselves.
But if we don't spend money, a strong competitor will definitely emerge. No one knows what the outcome will be.
It's the same with TV stations and major streaming platforms. But they have deep pockets, so after watching the show, they went straight to apply for funding.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone appeared in the conference room of Qingyao Media again.
Su Yang still didn't show up, so Tang Qing presided over the meeting. The two of them had a clear division of labor: Su Yang was in charge of program production, while Tang Qing was in charge of company operations. Everyone worked on their own responsibilities.
"Everyone, I'm sure you all have a price in mind. So let's start bidding now. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can get back to our respective tasks. After all, everyone is busy, so I won't waste your precious time."
Tang Qing said with a smile, and directly asked an employee to pass the envelope.
Each person gets an envelope, and all they have to do is write down their price and hand it in. There's no need to wait for the result; it's decided on the spot.
After receiving the envelope, everyone looked at each other and finally wrote their bottom price on the envelope. As for the result, it was up to fate.
Soon all the envelopes were handed in. Tang Qing opened them one by one, and the assistants beside her wrote down their conditions on the paper next to them. Watching Tang Qing and the assistants busy at work, the people below felt uneasy.
In just a few minutes, Tang Qing had sorted everything out. After looking at the price, Tang Qing raised her head and the people below also looked at her.
"Thank you all for participating. Before announcing the results, I still say the same thing. Even if our deal doesn't work out, we still have a bond. If we can't cooperate this time, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Now I announce the results. The TV station that has obtained the exclusive broadcast rights for the first season of "Su Yang Show" is Yanjing TV. Congratulations to Yanjing TV."
Tang Qing said this with a smile, which made Wang Xu breathe a sigh of relief. He finally won. The other TV stations looked at Wang Xu with mixed feelings. Mango TV and Blue TV in particular knew that their competitor had arrived.
"Youku is the platform that has obtained the exclusive online broadcasting rights for the first season of 'Suyang Show'. Congratulations to Youku."
Tang Qing continued, causing the Penguin representative's eyes to widen after the results were announced. "Holy crap! What's going on? Did Youku offer a higher price than mine? That's unbelievable! When did Youku become so generous? Hasn't it been so stingy these past few years?" Seeing the Penguin representative's expression, the Youku representative laughed.
Damn, I finally got to be bold for once. This feeling is so cool!
