Chapter 4 Chapter 004 [What the hell? Alive...
After leaving the TV station and getting in the car, Xing Rui didn't dare to say anything. It wasn't until they drove a distance and the atmosphere around them relaxed that he quietly asked, "Did you have a bad time meeting the guest today?"
"It's not a matter of pleasure or not, I'm just going through the motions." Yan Nanxing's words showed a lack of interest, and he was completely different from the spirited man he was when he teased Nan Fei just now.
But he said so, and was willing to complete the work out of courtesy, which means he was willing to continue recording.
Xing Rui breathed a sigh of relief, the biggest stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he began to feel elated: "That's good, that's good. From now on, you can focus on this variety show, and leave everything about the company to me..."
Hearing Xing Rui mention the company reminded Yan Nanxing. He interrupted and asked, "Can you handle this by yourself? It's been half a week. Where are the orders given to you?"
Xing Rui, who was still honking a second ago, immediately shut up, but Yan Nanxing's eyes were fixed on the back of his head. It seemed that he didn't do anything just because he was concerned that someone was the driver. It was really embarrassing.
"Well... I've written a plan, but the feedback from the partners is a bit disappointing." Xing Rui laughed dryly. "After all, not everyone is as resourceful as you, President Yan."
Yan Nanxing was silent for a moment, not knowing whether she was speechless or angry. She ignored him and directly made a request: "Turn around at two intersections and go to the company."
The MCN company "Cai Yi Culture" founded by Xing Rui is located in a bustling area in the city center, but what is little known is that there is a special-purpose office on the top floor of the Cai Yi office building, which belongs to the Yian Medicinal Materials Company, and the registered legal person of Yian is Yan Nanxing.
Due to the special nature of the company, Yian's medicinal materials factories are set up in various places, and higher-level employees basically work nearby or at home. In addition, the scale of operation is limited, so only Yan Nanxing is needed to make decisions. For convenience, he simply occupied an office of Xing Rui, and went to write the order right after finishing filming Cai Yi's work.
When he was quite busy a few years ago, Yan Nanxing often couldn't take care of this side and had to ask his good brother Xing Rui to do it for him. As time went by, he understood Yian's business very well. But since Yan Nanxing started to take a break from the Internet, more than half a year has passed, and the focus of his career has slowly shifted to Yian.
The two entered the office. Yan Nanxing habitually turned on the computer and said, "Send me your plan."
Xing Rui sent it as he was told, jokingly saying, "Do you need me to pour Mr. Yan a cup of coffee?"
Yan Nanxing: “Yeah.”
He had already prepared himself to work on it until midnight, but when he received the document, opened it, and looked at the finalized document and the signed contract in front of him, Yan Nanxing stopped moving.
The regulations are clear and the payments are distinct. While providing the buyer with the greatest possible concessions, the profit margin is also maximized. After conversion, the profit margin is 1 point higher than Yan Nanxing's original backup plan. This is a perfect win-win solution for anyone who sees it.
Xing Rui walked over leisurely, holding two cups of coffee. "How is it, is President Yan satisfied?"
"Well, as expected of an economics major, you're really good at making plans." Yan Nanxing smiled slightly, "This is the best news I've received this week."
Xing Rui stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Congratulations, by reaching cooperation with these companies, Yian can finally become a well-known company in China."
Yan Nanxing rarely showed some sincerity. He turned his head to look at Xing Rui and said seriously, "Thank you."
The atmosphere was a little heavy. After all, they had gone through too many difficulties in the process. They started from scratch and came to where they are now, and they can be said to have made it through.
Xing Rui couldn't stand Yan Nanxing's serious look, so he rubbed his palms and changed the subject: "Hey, if Miss Yan could cooperate a little, I could have a smoother discussion. A few days ago, several pharmaceutical companies asked why Yian participated in the exhibition but the person in charge didn't show up. I was lucky to help you smooth it over and didn't let anyone know about the relationship between Yian and your family."
As soon as he heard about the Nanyuan Exhibition, Yan Nanxing snorted in annoyance: "The old man has called, how could the pharmaceutical company not know?"
Xing Rui was startled, but answered confidently, "Impossible. We were signing contracts with several companies that day, and the news just happened to report that Yian had won an award, so the pharmaceutical company mentioned it in passing. Besides, if people really think that Yian is backed by the Yan family, how could there be so many delays in the process?"
After he finished speaking, he finally realized what Yan Nanxing meant: "Your grandfather called to ask?! Didn't he say that he wouldn't care whether you lived or died from now on?"
Xing Rui is very reliable. He wouldn't be so firm if he wasn't 100% sure. Both of them are smart and they quickly realized where the focus should be.
Once he figured it out, Xing Rui immediately tutted and teased, "What did I say? Although Grandpa Yan has a bad temper, he is his grandson after all. He must have been paying attention to you."
Yan Nanxing raised his eyebrows slightly and just smiled without saying anything.
The two of them originally came to the company to handle this collaboration, but Xing Rui successfully completed it and gave him a surprise. Yan Nanxing no longer had any need to stay. He said casually, "I'm going back first. The recording will start on Friday. If there's anything, we can talk next week when I come back."
"Hey wait!" Seeing him about to leave, Xing Rui suddenly shouted, "Do you still remember that the variety show was recorded in Zhaoling?"
"Well, what do you want to say? It's very close to Huayang?" Yan Nanxing still had a smile on his face, but his mood was obviously cooling down. "You know, I won't go back even if I'm recording at Huayang."
"Oh, that's not what I meant. It's almost April now, and Zhaoling is in the rainy season, so the temperature in the mountains is even lower. Don't wear just a skirt every day. Take care of yourself."
I didn't expect Xing Rui to bring up this matter. Yan Nanxing responded nonchalantly, saying that he understood, and then left the company.
——
Due to the delay in the production process, "Taoyuan Cottage" has been frantically releasing various leaks in the past two days to warm up for the launch. Only one day later, the first version of the trailer, which was produced in a hurry, was broadcast on time at 8 o'clock that night.
Before the announcement was released, several guests received notifications from the program staff, hoping that everyone would forward it in time to increase the popularity.
At exactly eight o'clock, Yan Nanxing sat leisurely on the sofa, opened the official Weibo of Taoyuan Xiaozhu, projected the screen onto the TV, turned off the barrage, and concentrated on watching the trailer.
The trailer opens with a dazzling stage lighting. Nan Fei sings her hit song amidst the cheers of fans. Then, the scene shifts to the podium, where actress Tang Jingyun, winner of the Golden Leaf Award for Best Actress earlier this year, holds her trophy and delivers a moving acceptance speech. Then, at the airport boarding gate, actor Jason Cen bids farewell to fans with a smile, saying in fluent English, "See you back home."
The next moment, the background music suddenly stopped, and a line of words slowly appeared on the black screen: [Have you ever imagined that you would live a life like this?]
The screen lit up again, the sun was about to set, and traffic was surging. Tao Xi seemed to have just finished work, and she hadn't even had time to remove her makeup. She smiled with wide eyes and replied, "I didn't expect it at all. At first, I acted just for fun, and later it became more of a habit. Yes, sometimes I feel very tired, but I've adapted to this kind of life a long time ago."
Tang Jingyun covered her mouth with her hands and laughed heartily: "To be honest, I have always felt that I would become famous sooner or later, but the road in between is really difficult."
Sam Sham smiled gracefully and said, "When I was a young actor, I always dreamed of becoming a big star. When I finally became a big star, the pressure was much greater. But with the support and love of my fans, I can keep working hard and present better works to everyone."
Shen Yuzhe shook his head sheepishly: "For me, this is a complete surprise, but also an opportunity, so I need to work harder to be worthy of everyone's expectations and support for me."
When he arrived at Nanfei, he chose his words carefully and said, "I have thought about it, because I have always worked hard to live the life I want."
Finally, the scene flashed to a blank room. In the center was a table and a person in a red dress holding a pen. Besides the soothing music, the camera shifted again, revealing a line of sharp handwriting he wrote on the paper: "I haven't thought about it, but I must have liked it very much when I was a child."
Then, another question was asked: [If you were given a chance to experience a slow-paced life, would you be willing?]
Some of the guests laughed, some were surprised, and their ideas varied, but they all chose to agree.
After this round, the scene on the screen changed, and the aerial camera began to show the fresh and beautiful mountain scenery, as well as the interior and surrounding environment of the "Taoyuan Cottage" where the guests were going to record next. The fields, orchards, and the slow-paced but comfortable and cozy rural life were displayed one by one, which was very desirable.
After the emotional segment, the guests met and interacted with each other. Tang Jingyun chattered while packing her suitcase, speculating about the leisurely and comfortable life, full of expectations, while Cen Jiashu sat in the car, looking at the menu while sharing the small gifts he prepared for other guests. Then part of the content of the four-person meeting was inserted. The editing was a bit deliberate. Not only did it cut out the leading topics, but it also deliberately used scenes without Yan Nanxing. She only appeared in the few shots, and only part of her hands or arms were barely visible.
Then, the screen slowly changed, and the cursive logo of Taoyuan Cottage appeared in the center, with a line of small words written below: The show will be broadcast at 5:30 pm on March 24th.
As the screen goes black, the trailer usually ends here, but after five seconds of black screen passed and it still didn't end, Yan Nanxing realized something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next second, the text appeared on the screen again: [Thought the preview ended here?]
[Next! It’s Easter egg time!]
In the bright, warm-colored room, Nan Fei opened the door and greeted everyone in a polite manner.
Then, the obvious stunned expression on his face was perfectly captured by the camera, and as he moved closer step by step, the other camera moved to the direction of Nan Fei's sight at the right time, gradually revealing the true face of the sixth mysterious guest from bottom to top.
Exquisite and bright makeup, long reddish-brown wavy hair and a red dress make her look sexy and seductive. Even the distortion of the lens cannot affect her impactful beauty.
Nan Fei greeted politely, and the beauty smiled and replied with her name.
"Yannanxing, the Yan of Qi, Chu, Yan and Han, the Nan of Nanfei, and the star of the starry sky."
Yan Nanxing raised her eyebrows and seduced openly: "Do you like this name?"
The interface automatically pops up after the video is played, and the comments under the official blog pop up at the right time.
The top comments were all filled with shock.
[What the hell, what the hell, what the hell?]
[Ah? Ah? Ah?]
I thought Taoyuan was holding back by finding so many big stars, and then it told me it was indeed holding back!
[It hasn't officially aired yet, and the editing is pretty standard, but I have to say the overall effect is quite captivating. I'm really looking forward to it airing tomorrow night.]
Reply to the above: [Sister, you are so calm!!! Didn’t you see the Easter egg!!!]
The host replied: [I went to watch it again. WTF? WTF? WTF! A real cross-dressing guy?! ! ! !]
Yan Nanxing casually glanced at the comments. This effect was completely expected. The program crew put enough thought into it. The trailer clearly showed several discussion points, which could be said to have directly dominated the front row of tonight's hot searches.
The program crew cleverly took advantage of the gimmicks Yan Nanxing created intentionally or unintentionally, and directly utilized the guests who joined in the last few days to the extreme.
Yan Nanxing smiled, remembered the staff's instructions, dug out a small account that had not been used for a long time from a corner, changed it to his real name, and forwarded the trailer.
After doing all this, he turned off the TV and planned to pack his luggage to leave tomorrow. Suddenly, his cell phone rang. Yan Nanxing picked it up and saw that it was a call from the bartender at the "Wish" bar.
"Hello, Mr. Yan, you left your contact information on Xinyuan last weekend. Now a gentleman has come to see you. Do you need to give it to him?"
