Chapter 320 of "Divas Hit the Road" airs.
Fu Yibai's days after returning to China were filled with various meetings.
He spends more time at the company than when he's filming abroad.
I arrive at the company at 8:30 every morning and don't leave until after 10:00 at night.
Guo Zhenni had his schedule packed full of activities: meeting with the publicity team in the morning, reviewing the edits in the afternoon, and replying to emails from various subsidiaries in the evening.
On the afternoon of September 8th, Fu Yibai was reviewing the edited version of "Lost in Thailand" in the screening room.
Ning Hao sat next to him, eating large mouthfuls of instant noodles.
After the screening ended, the lights in the editing room came back on.
Ning Hao turned his head and his gaze fell on Fu Yibai's face.
"I'm not saying this to be mean, but there's a cafeteria at the company. Why don't you go downstairs and eat there?"
Holding a bucket of instant noodles, if an outsider saw me like this, they'd think I was some kind of skinflint, exploiting even a big director like you.
Fu Yibai looked at Ning Hao, speechless.
"Slurp~"
"Why bother with all that trouble? Just eat some instant noodles."
This little thing is strange; if it doesn't eat for a while, it starts to crave it.
Ning Hao took another sip of noodles.
"I'm really impressed by you."
The film is almost finished being edited, but I suggest you cut some more and compress the length to around 100 minutes.
110 minutes is still too long.
"Cut some more?"
I'll give it a try.
Ning Hao nodded.
"By the way, what are your plans for the future?"
"What plan? You're not going to give me work again, are you?"
"I don't have any projects to assign you at the moment."
I think it's time for a sequel to the "Crazy" series. Why don't you go back and work on the script with Nadia?
"Part Two?"
"Yeah, the Lost on Journey series has already got a second installment."
I think the Crazy series has potential; you can look into it further.
"Um……"
Ning Hao fell into thought.
"The second installment in the Madness series..."
This really needs to be studied carefully.
Fu Yibai leaned back in his chair and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest twice.
"Okay, don't rush, take your time."
"Show me the script when it's finished. There's no budget limit."
Just as Ning Hao was about to speak, the door to the editing room was pushed open.
Lu Yang carried in a bucket of instant noodles, steaming hot, and the aroma wafted in with him.
He saw Fu Yibai and Ning Hao, then glanced at the now-blacked-out projection screen.
"They're done? I was just saying I'd come over and take a look."
Fu Yibai looked at the instant noodles in his hand, then at the untied bucket on Ning Hao's table, and couldn't help but laugh.
"You two planned this? You're both eating instant noodles here. Is the company cafeteria just for show?"
Lu Yang pulled up a chair and sat down, lifted the lid of the instant noodles, and stirred them a couple of times with a fork.
"I'm tired of eating in the cafeteria; it's the same few dishes over and over again."
Instant noodles are great, so many flavors, and you don't even have to go downstairs.
He picked up a forkful of noodles and put it in his mouth, mumbling something under his breath.
"Brother Ning, how's the editing of 'Lost in Thailand' coming along?"
"That's about it, just a few more minutes of cutting will do."
"So fast? My 'Cold War' is still a long way off."
Slurp~
"You finished filming quite late, so why isn't the editing finished yet?"
Could it be that he's slacking off?
Ning Hao teased with a mischievous grin.
"Don't talk nonsense. I really can't bear to cut it. Liang Jiahui and Deng Chao's performances were too good."
"I only have 120 minutes left to cut, and I can't cut any more."
Fu Yibai watched the two of them eating instant noodles while discussing editing, and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
"It's a good thing that you don't want to cut it."
Fu Yibai turned around and leaned against the windowsill.
"That means you've captured something truly good."
However, sometimes, self-control takes more courage than indulgence.
His gaze fell on Lu Yang's face.
"The pacing of 'Cold War' is very important; you have to be ruthless when you need to be."
If you really can't bring yourself to do it, then hand the task over to someone else.
Learn from me; I don't really monitor post-production anymore.
Lu Yang nodded thoughtfully.
"Alright, if you want to watch 'Lost in Thailand,' I'll have someone play it again."
You two keep chatting, I'll be going now.
Fu Yibai got up and straightened his clothes.
"Okay, I'll take a look at Brother Ning's masterpiece."
On September 9th, Fu Yibai, Zhao Qi, and Lin Wei held a meeting that lasted all morning, going through the entire preparation plan for the artist management company's IPO.
Financial standardization, business structure streamlining, and selection of listing advisory institutions are being carried out simultaneously.
Lin Wei's team has already contacted several securities firms, and the initial feedback has been very positive.
On September 11th, at 9 PM, "Divas Hit the Road" was broadcast simultaneously on Hunan TV and Xingyun Video.
The television broadcasting rights for this variety show sold for a high price of two million per episode plus a 10% commission from Google, while the online broadcasting rights reached one million eight hundred thousand per episode.
Chenxi Media's variety shows have been proven successful with multiple hit shows such as "Running Man," "The Voice of China," and "Go Fighting!", and have accumulated sufficient reputation in the industry.
TV stations are willing to pay this money for Chenxi's variety shows because they know that variety shows produced by Chenxi are a guarantee of high ratings.
