After getting off the plane, Li Bai quickly got into the car.
"I heard from Sister Yu that Blueberry is preparing to start a new show recently. It was said that it was a song talent show, and the investment was even greater than running men.”Concubine Mi said meaningfully.
"Well, Blueberry doesn't want to put all his eggs in one basket. That's right. We just need to focus on filming our own show. As for the rest, Sister Yu will handle it.”Li Bai was very confident in Sister Yu's ability.
Running Man produced two seasons a year, with twelve episodes per season. The gap in between needed two programs to fill. Now that Blueberry had decided to spend a lot of money on a new program, it was obvious that Blueberry was very ambitious.
The reason why Sister Yu said all this was mainly to ask everyone if they had any thoughts on making a new show. After all, one season a year was the limit for talent shows. Li Bai and Deng Chao did not have any thoughts, but Li Chen was still hesitating. Having a strong girlfriend put a lot of pressure on him.
None of these things had much to do with Li Bai, but there was one thing that was related to him. The baby would definitely leave next season. Who would replace him? Li Bai had thought that there would be enough time, but Sister Yu thought that it would be best for the new member to show up as a guest in the first season. It would be too late if they were still dissatisfied after the new season started recording.
The Korean version of the male runner had also been recording for a few months. Lizzy and Song Zhongji had left one after another before the final cast was made.
Now, Sister Yu had picked up a small hoe and planned to poach the corner of the Korean version of the running man. The target was the only female member of the team, Song Zhixiao. This was interesting. The other side had just played Blueberries in the TV series, and the other side immediately retaliated.
The water here was very deep. Li Bai felt his scalp go numb just thinking about it. After Star You became popular, Blueberry originally planned to put together a few more episodes. This was very normal. If the viewership ratings were not good, a random ending could be considered the grand finale. On the contrary, if it became popular, he could add some story lines and continue filming. That was why you could find many TV series with hundreds of episodes in Seunmida.
However, because of the popularity of Xing Ni, she did not plan to bring Blueberries to play. The script would end after it was filmed, and then he would come up with a sequel. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what was going on, but the contract did not say that the sequels had to be done with you. This kind of thing had happened even in Hollywood. It was clearly a series of stories, but when the scriptwriter saw the box office sales, he felt that he had lost out and ended it directly. After that, he simply changed it and sold it to someone else. Morally, it was not justifiable, but legally, it was not wrong.
Blueberry didn't dare to publicize it either. That would be digging his own grave! He could only admit that he was unlucky. After Li Bai finished filming the first twenty-one episodes, he could take the money and leave. Seunmida would not use him as the male lead in the sequels. However, Blueberry decided to bid on his own. After all, when he was auctioning, he had already spent all the money that he should not have spent. Since it was according to the contract, Blueberry could also make a sequel. There was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't spend a lot of money to buy the rights to broadcast the sequels. With the current viewership ratings, the sequels would definitely cost a sky-high price to buy, so it would be better to film it himself!
The male lead was undoubtedly Li Bai, and the female lead of the sequel met Song Zhixiao when she was choosing the role. It was also because of this encounter that Sister Yu took a fancy to Song Zhixiao and prepared to use her to replace the baby in the future. If it was a foreign man, the audience might feel uncomfortable. If it was a woman, especially a beautiful woman, no one would object.
The meat would rather rot in the pot than let the fertilizer flow into the field. On the contrary, if a man went out and brought back a foreign woman, it could be said that he was bringing glory to the country. Therefore, Sister Yu was not worried that the audience would reject her. As for the other members, it was not a big problem. After all, Sister Yu did not chase Bao Bao away and replaced him. This was very important.
Li Bai didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It looked like Biby had fallen out of favor, but that wasn't the case. Since there were female guests every season, Biby was always destined to be a green leaf. Moreover, it was enough to have Li Bai pampering him. Why did he need so many people to pamper him? Did he think he was a pet?
However, Song Zhixiao was still a little hesitant. After Runningman became popular, she was badly slandered. One was because of her age, and the other was because of the works she had acted in before. There were restricted scenes in them. In addition, there was a girl who was more than ten years younger than her who was also a regular member. She later withdrew. With just these three points, it would be difficult for her not to be slandered, and it would be difficult for her to defend herself. However, because of this, she had to leave her hometown. She was really unwilling.
Sister Yu was very generous. Song Zhixiao hadn't even agreed to come, and she was already the female lead of the movie. What was this? This was sincerity. I'll invite you to appear on a few more episodes so that everyone can get to know each other better. After the filming of the sequels is done, the second season of the running man will also start filming.
This was how Li Bai was bribed, and Li Chen was about to be bribed. Deng Chao was the captain, so he didn't need to be bribed. With favors and benefits in one hand, it was always successful.
While Li Bai was exclaiming about Sister Yu's might, Sister Yu was also secretly exclaiming! No one had expected Xing Ni to be so popular. After seeing the new movie that Hanfang had sent over, she was more confident in the sequels. As long as Li Bai was around, he could at least guarantee that half of the country would not be lost. Recently, there had been a lot of topics about running men on the Internet. It was noisy and sometimes Sister Yu was helpless.
By the time Li Bai arrived home, the third episode of the Running Man had already finished broadcasting more than half of it. It was the scene where Li Bai was torn apart by Biby and was being taken to prison, playing with money.
Biby was so touched that he wanted to cry. When he saw this scene in the blink of an eye, he wanted to laugh again, but in the end, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You lied to me." Biby tried his best to pretend to be very angry.
Li Bai shamelessly sat down next to Biby with a smug look on his face.
Biby snorted coldly and continued to watch her television.
Li Bai became popular, and the runner also benefited a lot. Actually, it wasn't just the running man, but the entire Blueberry TV program's viewership ratings had also increased.
In this week alone, Li Bai received two calls from Yi Yi. One time was to help promote the running man, and the other time was to star you in the TV series. As the leading actress of Blueberry, Yiyi had to give him some face for the live interview.
The next morning, Deng Chao and Sun Li came over. Li Bai was still asleep when he received the call. Biby quickly got up to pack up while Li Bai went to pick him up.
This was the first time Deng Chao had come to Li Bai's new house.
"Xiao Bai, you bought such a big house without saying anything. You're too cunning.”Deng Chao had always thought that they had just bought an ordinary commercial house! Therefore, she didn't want to disturb the two of them.
Biby brought Sun Li to visit, leaving the place for the two men. They had something to discuss.
"Brother Chao, why are you making it so grand? It's like a secret agent meeting." Li Bai really couldn't think of anything between them that needed to be so formal.
"There are two things. One is business and the other is private. Which one do you want to hear first?”It was rare for Deng Chao to want to be more formal, but in the end, it was still so nondescript.
"Then let's talk about personal matters first!" Li Bai was also helpless.
"Hehe, big brother wants to film a movie, a comedy. How about helping big brother play a guest role?”As Deng Chao spoke, his face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. This was the turning point in his life. From then on, he would have another title, which was director.
"This is a good thing. Of course we have to support it.”Li Bai did not hesitate.
"Alright, it's settled then.”Deng Chao was very happy.
The two of them chatted about the movie for a while more before Deng Chao finally remembered that they had not talked about the serious matter yet.
"I don't know who released the news that the baby is leaving next season, but there was a huge response. Sister Yu wanted to put up a few smoke bombs to suppress the topic first.”Deng Chao said seriously.
Li Bai thought for a while and really didn't have a better way. He could only mix the water. Since the baby was going to leave, they might as well say that everyone was going to break up. Then, the production team would come forward to clarify, saying that they were trying their best to communicate with everyone and strive to maintain the lineup.
"Running men are popular. There must be a lot of people who use underhanded methods. What else do you think, Sister Yu?”Li Bai didn't believe that Sister Yu didn't have a backup plan.
"Then we can't do anything about it. It's said that many people want to take over the baby. They said that they don't have to pay. This person is too cruel!" Deng Chao's face was full of mockery.
Li Bai had heard Mi Fei mention it before. It was said that someone had analyzed the running man and made many suggestions. It didn't make sense to say that there wasn't a real singer among the seven of them. Ganggang and Wanwan weren't among the seven, so they weren't suitable. There was no official host among the seven of them. It was against the rules…Li Bai was dumbfounded. Consort Mi had said all this to remind him to be careful with his words when he went out and not to be tricked.
"Sister Yu, aren't you afraid that everyone will be scared?”Anyone would have a knot in their heart. Someone had been trying to squeeze you out from behind the scenes. If the program team did not express their stance, then people's hearts would be scattered.
Deng Chao laughed." What are you afraid of? Chen Chichi and Zheng Kai had already signed the contract for the second season. As for Li Chen, Sister Yu still needed him as the core to produce a new show. Master Fan might also join in, so Li Chen did not have to worry at all. Who else could it be? There was only one seat for the baby, so he was not afraid. Anyway, he was going to leave a long time ago.”
Li Bai really didn't know about Chen Chichi and Zheng Kai's reappointment. He had thought that they would wait until the end of the first season and ask for a big contract! It seemed that no one was a fool.
"Brother Chao, did you sign it too?”Li Bai suddenly realized that there must be a reason why Deng Chao knew about this.
"How smart. 30 million yuan is not counted as a bonus.”Deng Chao didn't hide anything and directly revealed the truth. If there were no accidents, Li Bai would not have less than him.
"Sister Yu is really fast!" Li Bai truly admired this kind of person. He was decisive enough.
"It's not that fast. Sister Yu knows how to poach people, so does she. If it weren't for the new members joining, Sister Yu would have planned to sign the contract for three or five years.”Deng Chao himself had received quite a number of invitations during this period of time.
"Have you decided who the new member is?”Li Bai only knew that Song Zhixiao was still hesitating.
"I haven't decided yet, but there are only four candidates, two men and two women. Song Zhixiao, Yi Yi, and two young hunks. Song Zhixiao was chosen by Sister Yu, and Yi Yi was chosen by Blueberry. Of the two men, one of them was the director's favorite, while the other was a little complicated.”Deng Chao didn't care at all.
