Chapter 172 Are you sure he's short?
In a hotel room at night.
At this moment, Wang Hailong is leading the program team to review and reassemble today's recording.
This is somewhat different from the later editing.
Video assembly involves correctly combining most of the recorded footage according to timeline and sequence, and then performing a major screening.
After all the footage has been selected, it is then handed over to the post-production team for final editing.
Although this would greatly increase his workload, daily review and summary were essential tasks that Wang Hailong set for his team.
Of course, he has an even more important issue to discuss and resolve today.
That was after the first episode was recorded.
They need to select permanent guests to fill the vacancies in the staff.
The screen was showing clips of the guests playing games and interacting with each other, their witty banter and jokes making many of the production crew members laugh non-stop.
After a long silence, Wang Hailong asked, "Based on today's performance, do you think any of these temporary guests are worth keeping?"
Someone responded, "Director, I think Jiang Yan is actually quite good among the female guests."
"She received a very good response in the first season, especially for cooking. If she can team up with Jia Bing in the later episodes to make some delicious food, it might be a great segment."
"That's right. If we were to choose her, she would be very cost-effective, and her appearance fee isn't too expensive."
Listening to what the team members were saying.
Wang Hailong did not nod immediately.
To be honest, he would prefer to have more choices when it comes to female guests.
Jiang Yan is indeed a very cost-effective choice.
However, in terms of popularity and traffic, she is somewhat lacking. After all, with her current status, she is actually slightly inferior to Jin Chen before.
The main reason is that he himself is quite laid-back and not particularly willing to create hype. Moreover, his works in recent years do not seem to have been hits, and he has not filmed many idol dramas.
Therefore, considering the following factors...
Even if finding Jiang Yan as a regular guest would indeed save a lot of trouble and the cost wouldn't be high, Wang Hailong felt that the show needed a female celebrity with greater popularity and influence to balance the monotonous audience of the male guests.
Even paying a little more for the announcement fee is acceptable.
"As for her, let's leave it for now. We still need to make final considerations and talk about the others."
Someone in the team spoke up again.
"Director Wang, I think Shen Jian is a very good male guest. Why don't we make him a permanent guest?"
After this person finished speaking, the others all nodded in agreement.
"I seemed to have a great rapport with Shen Teng and Wang Anyu today."
"I think he's suitable to be a regular guest. Actually, our male actor lineup is already very good. There's no need to find a more expensive top star. On the contrary, Shen Jian, a newcomer who has just debuted and is about to become a star, is the most suitable."
On the one hand, they have some popularity, and on the other hand, they certainly won't care about the amount of the appearance fee.
Listen to the analysis from the crowd below.
Wang Hailong nodded.
After observing Shen Jian's performance all day, he already had his answer.
Whether Shen Jian can meet the requirements he previously set is not particularly important.
"Since everyone agrees that Shen Jian performed well, let's tentatively choose him. I'll talk to him after the first episode's recording ends tomorrow."
As for the female guests, we need to finalize the list as soon as possible, compile a shortlist, and then contact them within the next few days to ensure the recording schedule isn't delayed.
The meeting ended quickly.
Wang Hailong let his team leave first.
He stayed in the room and waited until everyone left before taking out his phone and dialing Li Kun's number from the content department of Tencent Video.
Soon, a sound came from the other side.
"Director Wang, is something wrong that you're calling so late? How was the recording?"
Wang Hailong responded with a smile: "Mr. Li, there's no need to worry about the program. The recording is proceeding normally. However, there's something I might need to inform you of in advance."
"Oh?" Li Kun sounded somewhat surprised on the phone. "Go ahead, what's up?"
Wang Hailong nodded: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that there are vacancies in the show's guests. I've decided to fill them in for the second episode. Of course, it's not a decision to be made immediately. We'll definitely need to see the response to the first episode."
However, it's definitely necessary to make some preparations in advance, don't you think?
"I see." Hearing this, Li Kun was somewhat surprised: "Then who do you favor?"
"I think Shen Jian is a good fit for the configuration of Departure 3."
"You chose him?" Li Kun asked in surprise.
Although he was somewhat pleased with Shen Jian's choice, since it was Shen Jian who had recommended him.
However, I was still quite surprised when I heard that Wang Hailong had actually made the choice.
After all, Wang Hailong was determined to choose a top-tier celebrity or even a top star.
At the time, he even considered signing Chengyi.
But to everyone's surprise, they changed their tune right after the first day of recording.
So Li Kun really wanted to know what reason it was that made Director Wang change his mind.
"It's really not easy for you to change your mind, so what exactly happened that made you choose again?"
Wang Hailong smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just think this Shen Jian is something, maybe he can become a big hit on my show."
Li Kun laughed: "Director Wang, your attitude is quite different from before."
"Really? I always try to be factual."
"Hmph, fine, anyway, I said before that the program will be entirely up to you."
Wang Hailong: "But Mr. Li, since that's the case, could you please provide the full budget for the subsequent announcements in advance?"
"————" Li Kun was speechless: "Fine, so after all that talk, you just wanted money from me, right?"
Wang Hailong: "President Li, you've misunderstood. I just wanted to tell you this news and, by the way, discuss the fees. Even if Shen Jian is a newcomer and his appearance fee isn't high, we still have to pay him, right?"
"He's less? Who told you that?" Li Kun retorted.
Wang Hailong was taken aback. No one had told him this, but he figured Shen Jian's fee probably wouldn't be too high.
"Nobody's saying anything. And what difference does it make if another newcomer comes along?"
Li Kun: "Director Wang, money is not a problem. I'll talk to the director later. But if you really decide to take him, you'd better prepare in advance. His appearance fee is quite high."
"Okay, then let's do this: I'll have someone send you a payment list."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Wang Hailong didn't pay much attention to Li Kun's reminder.
After all, Shen Jian is still a newcomer from a relatively unknown background, so his asking price can't be too high.
..
the next day.
The program was recorded as scheduled.
Wang Hailong also received a list of female guests from his team for reference: "Wang Yinglu, Zhou, Tian Xiwei, Chen Yao, Chen Duling, Guan Xiaotong—try contacting them all."
