Chapter 818 - I’m So Moved That I Almost Cry!
Chapter 818 I’m So Moved That I Almost Cry!
“Okay, we’ll take it.”
On the other side, Sister Li paused for a moment and immediately agreed.
As soon as these words came out, all of a sudden, the staff on the other side was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
She had just rejected but agreed as soon as she heard that Fang Qiu was there?
What was more, she had agreed so readily.
Judging from the sound on the other end, it was obviously Song Yaqi who answered actively.
It could be seen that Song Yaqi really had something to do with Fang Qiu.
“Beep-beep...”
On the other side the staff was still in a daze, but the phone had been hung up.
It was obvious that the staff was shocked. He didn’t expect that Song Yaqi would agree so easily, and she agreed when he was in desperation. At first, she had completely refused, but as soon as she heard that Fang Qiu was there, she immediately agreed.
This kind of sudden change was really unacceptable for a while.
“How is it?”
“Did she agree?”
“Will Song Yaqi come?”
The other staff around him asked one after another.
Hearing everyone’s inquiry, the staff nodded subconsciously.
“Yeah!”
“She agreed? Really?”
“That’s great. Song Yaqi actually agreed.”
“I didn’t even think about it. Song Yaqi, the Little Princess, is really coming to our show.”
“Fang Qiu and Song Yaqi are the best match for each other.”
“We have to prepare well for this episode. Don’t waste these two superstars!”
In the blink of an eye, all the staff cheered.
Although their show had a certain status in the variety show industry and its ratings were not bad all year round, they usually invited B-list stars. The probability of A-list stars coming out of the show was very low. One reason was that the fee of performance of A-list stars was too high and the production fee was not enough. The other reason was that A-list stars were too difficult to invite. This show was very tiring and the A-list stars were unwilling to come out.
But now, although Fang Qiu was not a celebrity in the entertainment circle, his influence and public concern had definitely reached the A-list, even stronger than some of the A-list stars.
It was more so for Song Yaqi.
When the Little Princess arrived, she would be the center of attention wherever she went. She was definitely the most famous A-list star.
In addition, the interaction between this kind of combination was definitely what all the audience dreamed of.
With the addition of Fang Qiu and Song Yaqi, if this show was not hot, it would be too unreasonable.
“But, but she didn’t even ask for the performance fee.”
Looking at the cheering crowd, the staff said with a blank face.
Hearing that, everyone was stunned.
In the crowd, the director laughed and said, “Doesn’t this mean that she is really willing to come to our show from the bottom of her heart? This is a good thing. Everyone must do well in this episode.”
Everyone nodded.
“Okay.”
The director nodded with satisfaction. He said to the staff who contacted Song Yaqi, “Next, you will take responsibility of connecting with Song Yaqi.”
“Okay.”
The staff immediately nodded.
As for Fang Qiu, the director didn’t say anything, nor did he assign tasks because he was going to contact him in person.
On the other side, Fang Qiu had returned to the Beijiang cultivation base.
As soon as he arrived at the office, the phone in his pocket rang.
“Hello?”
Fang Qiu took out his phone and found that it was an unfamiliar but domestic number so he picked it up very casually.
“Excuse me, is Fang Qiu there?”
On the other side, there was a kind inquiry.
“Yes, this is Fang Qiu.”
Fang Qiu nodded and asked, “Who is that?”
“Hello, this is Liu Guobin, the director of An Island Survival Record. I’m from Zhongzhou TV station.”
The director’s voice came from the other side.
“Oh, Director Liu. Nice to meet you.”
Fang Qiu came to a sudden realization and hurriedly greeted him.
“I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Liu Guobin said politely, “I heard from Director Li Huawen that are you willing to come to our show. Is that right?”
“Yes.”
Fang Qiu immediately nodded and said with a smile, “One episode will only take a few days. I have never tried this kind of program before, so I want to try it.”
“That’s great.”
Liu Guobin immediately said with a smile, “Well, let me introduce our show to you first.”
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu nodded.
“The thing is that the recording of our show will take three days and two nights and it is on an isolated island. It may take five days to finish the recording. If you are available, please be here the day after tomorrow.”
Speaking of this, Liu Guobin paused for a moment and then added, “Well, time’s indeed short. What do you think?”
“No problem.”
Fang Qiu answered immediately.
Since he had accepted the invitation on his own initiative, he was fully prepared.
Come to think of it, he still had five days available.
“It’s good that there’s no problem with the time.”
Liu Guobin answered with a smile, and then asked, “So... as for the performance fee, should I talk to you directly, or to your agent?”
“I don’t have an agent.”
Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “As for the performance fee, just treat it as a gift between friends. Don’t give it to me.”
“That’s not good.”
Director Liu was stunned and said in a hurry, “Then, how about three million yuan?”
Fang Qiu was stunned. “Three million? So much?”
There were five days in total, so the average was 600,000 yuan per day.
Fang Qiu really did neither know the fee of participating in the variety show nor that the hottest rating battle today was among the variety shows, so when he heard this number, he was shocked.
He thought about it carefully.
It seemed that there was no fee for him to participate in the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor.
However, at that time, Fang Qiu was not too popular, and there were not many people paying attention to him. Speaking of that, the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor had made Fang Qiu succeed, and Fang Qiu had also made the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor succeed. It could be regarded as mutual help.
On the other side, Liu Guobin was also embarrassed.
Just now, he thought that Fang Qiu said that he didn’t want the performance fee on the surface, but in fact, he was just negotiating the fee with him. But now, hearing Fang Qiu’s words, it seemed that Fang Qiu really didn’t know the fee.
After all, according to the current situation of the snatching of the TV resources, the performance fee of an A-list celebrity could reach three million yuan a day, and Fang Qiu just earned three million yuan for three days, which was already very low. After all, Fang Qiu’s current value was no less than that of those A-list young celebrities who were popular now.
“Not too much, not too much. If you think it’s too little, we can talk about it.”
Although he knew that Fang Qiu didn’t know the price, Liu Guobin didn’t dare to play dirty tricks with him. After all, there was Director Li Huawen behind Fang Qiu.
“I see...”
Fang Qiu touched his chin and began to think.
On the other side, Liu Guobin gave a wry smile.
He didn’t expect that his words would really make Fang Qiu want to raise the price. He secretly prayed in his heart that Fang Qiu wouldn’t add too much, even though he already had the idea that no matter how much Fang Qiu wanted, he would pay it to him.
“How about...”
After thinking for a while, Fang Qiu said, “Director Liu, you can just give me five hundred thousand yuan. I don’t deserve so much money. If you think it’s too little, you can consider that as a gift between friends. What do you think?”
Liu Guobin broke out in a cold sweat.
He didn’t expect that Fang Qiu not only didn’t raise the price, but also took the initiative to cut off the price.
This was simply beyond his expectation.
“Fang Qiu, how cheap do you think your value is? Didn’t anyone tell you?”
His mind was filled with questions.
Of course.
Liu Guobin did not ask.
As a director, he knew if other programs knew that Fang Qiu’s price was so low, they would come to fight for him even if they had to squeeze their heads out.
“Five hundred thousand?”
It was not enough to hold a press conference at such a low price, let alone to invite such a big star as Fang Qiu.
“Three million is better.”
Liu Guobin thought for a moment and said, “If you don’t mind, I’ll make friends with you.”
“I’ll take five hundred thousand.”
Fang Qiu didn’t hesitate and said directly, “If you feel sorry, please treat the rest as money for tea. There should be no problem with the time. I’ll go there the day after tomorrow. Well, I’ll book the ticket now.”
After that, Fang Qiu hung up directly.
Indeed.
The reason why Fang Qiu accepted this variety show was not to make money.
He was telling the truth.
The reason why he accepted this variety show was actually to make friends so as to pave the way to get to know more directors and celebrities in the entertainment circle, to get to know more people in the media, and to slowly accumulate social relationships.
With more social relationships, it would be much more convenient for him to publicize traditional Chinese medicine.
Now, he has completely paved the way for Chinese Medicine.
Director Liu Guobin was stunned again.
It was the first time he had met such a person.
He chose five hundred thousand yuan instead of three million yuan.
“What the hell is going on? Is there anyone in this world who thinks money is too much?”
Liu Guobin said with a blank face. Then he suddenly realized that Fang Qiu went to book a ticket. He immediately called back and said, “Brother, my dear brother, how can I let you book a ticket by your own?”
Soon, the call was answered by Fang Qiu.
“Hello?”
Fang Qiu picked the phone up.
“Please stop it.”
Liu Guobin said, “The ticket will be booked for you by our staff. What you should do is to record the show on time and leave after it. Don’t worry about anything else.”
“I see, okay.”
Fang Qiu nodded and said, “The tickets haven’t been booked yet. I was about to book when you called me.”
“That’s good.”
Liu Guobin gave a wry smile and said, “In fact, the performance fee of five hundred thousand is indeed a little low.”
“Not low, we are friends.”
Fang Qiu said with a smile, and then added, “If this is lower than others, don’t tell anyone. Otherwise, people will say that you have treated me badly. After all, I have a lot of fans.”
Speaking of this, Fang Qiu couldn’t help laughing.
Director Liu Guobin was so moved by Fang Qiu that he almost cried.
In the past, no matter what kind of star he or she was, as a director, he always treated him or her as his elders. He had never seen such a thoughtful star. He was not only thoughtful, but also paid back two million and five hundred thousand yuan for tea. Even if he lived in this highly profitable industry, he had never drunk such an expensive tea!
