An invisible dark cloud hung over the neat and bright conference room, which was so oppressive that it was almost suffocating. Everyone looked at Song Wenbin, waiting for his statement. Song Wenbin glanced at Bai Shou, his eyes swept across the faces of the executives in the conference room. Finally, he lowered his head little by little and whispered hoarsely, "Yes, I understand."
"Song Wenbin!!"
"Brother Song!!"
Huo Yu and Sutina shouted in unison.
Everyone else in the conference room burst into laughter.
Jiang Lu looked relieved. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with relief: "Teacher Yan, you really scared us, but don't worry, although the live broadcast will have an impact, fortunately our public relations team We have already been dispatched, don’t worry, we will resolve the public opinion crisis on this matter soon, but next time, you can’t live broadcast randomly, at least you have to say hello to us in advance..."
"Jiang Lu!" Huo Yu pointed at the expressionless Song Wenbin and said loudly: "Do you still think this guy is crazy enough in the show?"
"If possible, we wish that Mr. Yan would go crazy 24 hours a day." Bai Shou said with a smile: "To be honest, I also watch this show. If it weren't for Mr. Yan's wonderful performance, I might not even watch it." Click it."
"Little pretty face, what the hell are you talking about...?" Huo Yu asked fiercely with red eyes.
"Feel sorry…."
Baikari spread his hands and said with a smile, "Just kidding, of course that's unrealistic."
Then, he stopped laughing and said seriously: "For the sake of the audience, for this show, and for your future, Teacher Yan, please keep your personality and your craziness. Of course, only in the show."
Sutina asked softly: "What if he is in pain?"
Bai Qi curled his lips and said: "No one in this world is not suffering, it is everyone who is suffering, so probably no one wants to see a happy and empty travel program. So, whether it is true or false, we all want to see it I hate the pain of the teacher, but the market needs his pain..."
Huo Yu could no longer listen to such speeches, so he rolled up his sleeves and strode towards Bai Shou: "Bastard..."
Bai Shou was frightened by Huo Yu's actions and backed away, keeping a distance from Huo Yu. Seeing Huo Yu breathing heavily, people in the conference room couldn't help but stood up. Sutina quickly stopped Huo Yu.
Bai Shou said nervously: "Director Huo, what are you doing? We are all considering the future of this show, and this is also for your own good."
"Inhumane thing!"
Huo Yu said with red eyes, pushing Su Tina away.
"That's enough." Song Wenbin suddenly grabbed Huo Yu's shoulders and held her down.
Huo Yu was held down by Song Wenbin's shoulders, as if he was being recited a tightening spell. He remained motionless and could only stare at Bai Shou with wide eyes.
Song Wenbin took a deep breath, pushed Huo Yu away, and said calmly: "All living beings take pleasure in suffering. I have seen too many, and I don't mind. But if you want me to maintain my personality, do you have to pay a price for it? ?”
"The price?" Bai Shou was a little confused.
I saw Song Wenbin pulled up the chair and sat down, crossed his hands, and said in a negotiating manner: "The price you pay for one person is definitely different from the price for two people. Since you think Teacher Yan is another person, what do you think? If I want to invite him over, do I have to pay another salary?"
A group of people were stunned by Song Wenbin's incredible words. They all stared at him with wide eyes, but Song Wenbin was serious.
After a while, Bai Shou stammered: "Then...then what...didn't we give you fifty thousand..."
"No." Song Wenbin raised a finger and said calmly: "That's for Song Wenbin, not for Teacher Yan."
The people in the conference room looked at each other, obviously unable to understand these inexplicable words.
"Isn't Song Wenbin just tired of Teacher?" Jiang Lu was a little puzzled and asked cautiously: "Teacher Wei, are you not out of your mind?"
"My brain is not broken." Song Wenbin said: "I am very clear-headed. The fifty thousand is just the price for you to hire Song Wenbin. I also signed for Song Wenbin, but if I heard correctly, what you need now is Teacher Yan." .”
"But Teacher Yan is actually Song Wenbin." Jiang Lu still couldn't understand.
Such a chaotic conversation made everyone's cups in the conference room smoke. Such meetings were so rare that director Paulie couldn't help but took out his cell phone from his pocket and filmed it.
"No, Mr. Bai made it very clear that the market needs simple things, not complicated things. The simple one is Teacher Yan, and the complicated one is Song Wenbin, so these are two people."
Song Wenbin said seriously: "We have to pay more!"
Everyone was silenced.
They didn't know what to say. If this guy hadn't been so serious, they would have almost thought he was crazy, but he must not be crazy. After all, this meeting was just for him, and the program and the market still needed him.
In the end, Bai Qiu spoke, and he said: "It's no problem to add more money. I can still do this. I will communicate with the investors. As long as Teacher Yan can perform the show well, we will try our best to meet your requirements." .Well, what do you think of one hundred thousand a month?"
As soon as Bai Shou opened his mouth, everyone around him took a deep breath.
One hundred thousand a month, which is far more than the income of a normal white-collar worker. Even the executives here, even if they want to earn an annual salary of one million, don’t know how many years of hard work it will take. However, the 26-year-old gai kid in front of me was offered a salary of one million in one year after he came to Seal. This has to be said to be a miracle in the workplace.
However, in the complicated eyes of everyone, Song Wenbin shook his head and said calmly: "I don't want money."
Bai Shou went a little crazy and said, "Teacher Yan, what do you want? Don't be so confused..."
Song Wenbin raised a finger again and said: "I want to set Fruit Joy's products as the official sponsored products of Extraordinary Journey. Every episode of Extraordinary Journey needs Fruit Joy's advertisement."
Huo Yu and Su Tina were stunned.
They never imagined that Song Wenbin could still negotiate with Seal at this time.
"Unless you agree to my request, I refuse any future performance plans. If you sue me for breach of contract, please also sue Teacher Wei. As for me, you can take me to a mental hospital for evaluation."
Song Wenbin said seriously: "Let's see if Teacher Yan is my hallucination or yours."
Silence fell.
You could hear a needle drop in the conference room, but there was an unspeakable madness in the silence.
"The joy of fruit...what is...?" After a while, Bai Shou asked uncertainly.
"That's the juice we sold last night." Song Wenbin said calmly: "I require Fruity Joy to become the designated brand for Extraordinary Journey advertising and sign a promotion agreement."
"No, no."
Jiang Lu immediately refused: "We haven't considered that step yet. This matter is too big. If you ask for a salary increase, we can..."
"I'm talking to the investor's secretary." Teacher Yan looked at Jiang Lu and said, "Shut up."
Jiang Lu looked at Song Wenbin and shut up.
Teacher Yan looked at Bai Shou and said: "My appearance fee is very high. As we all know, I have many identities. Teacher Yan, the reincarnated Living Buddha of Jesus, and the King of Hijra, all of these identities are extremely valuable, and I am needed by the public, and if you want to fix me with a dead salary of tens of thousands of dollars, I will not like it."
"But..." Bai Shou wanted to say something else.
"Let me remind you one last time, it is you who need me, not me who needs you." Teacher Yan said calmly: "In fact, I don't need anyone. I came here, but I came here at the call of all living beings. You can contact your boss , whether you like to sign or not.”
A group of people looked at Song Wenbin as if they were seeing a ghost.
They couldn't understand how this guy could negotiate without fear in the face of so many executives and bosses. Didn't he feel the pressure? ?
Faced with such a clear request, Bai Shou nodded and said seriously: "I understand."
After saying that, he stood up, walked outside the conference room, and made a phone call. Soon, the call was over. Bai Shou opened the door again and came in with a relaxed smile on his face.
"Teacher Yan, our boss has agreed that as long as you perform the show well and never bring goods, you can insert any advertisements you want."
"Hey, Secretary Bai!"
The people at Seal Company were anxious.
But Bai Shou said firmly: "Producer Jiang, Director He, don't worry, we will let the professional team solve the regulatory issues. If you think the advertising space is valuable, believe me, Boxin will definitely give you a satisfactory price. "
Hearing what Bai Shou said, the people from Seal Company slowly sat down.
Bai Shou looked at Song Wenbin and said with a smile: "How's it going, Teacher Yan, do you think you're satisfied?"
Teacher Yan nodded and said: "Okay, I will no longer live broadcast to sell goods, and I will not consider transformation anymore. Everything is focused on the program."
Bai Shou nodded with satisfaction and said to Jiang Lu: "I am just here to help Teacher Yan solve his identity problem in this meeting. Now that it is solved, you can talk to Teacher Yan about future program arrangements. After all, the program is It’s the top priority.”
Teacher Yan tilted his head and spread his hands, "No problem, happy cooperation."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Lu and asked, "What, Planner Jiang, which country are we going to this time and what kind of mission are we going to perform?"
Jiang Lu hesitated for a while and looked at the others around him. Seeing that the problem had been solved, the people in the legal department all stood up and filed out of the room. When only the people from the Extraordinary Travel Program Group were left in the conference room After that, the director took out the camera and the photographers took their places.
Jiang Lu pulled out a piece of paper and said: "The last Arctic plan did have big problems, and we admit it. So this time, after discussing with the investors, we decided to give you a lot of freedom."
Huo Yu and Su Tina on the side looked at Jiang Lu expressionlessly, completely lacking the excitement and anticipation at the beginning of the program in the past.
Only Teacher Yan was very ambitious, and he said with great interest: "What is that?"
"This time we don't have a location or a method. We just have one mission. You have to find a person."
"who?"
"Musk." Jiang Lu said.
"The one who sells electric cars?" Teacher Yan asked in surprise.
"Yes." Seeing that Song Wenbin was not angry because of the meeting just now, Jiang Lu gradually relaxed and said with a smile: "To be honest, we did not achieve our respective strategic goals in the previous two episodes. Obviously this time It’s the fan season for ffjourney, but the second season is already halfway through, and the number of your respective fans is not satisfactory. The official account of Fjjourney has only 600,000 fans, so this time, no matter what, you also I need to do a big job to increase the number of fans."
After a pause, Jiang Lu continued, "Unlike the guests in the first two episodes, Elon Musk is one of the most famous people on the planet, and he has hundreds of millions of fans and followers around the world. If you can succeed Finding him and interacting with him on the show will be of great help to our overall strategy of increasing fans."
"There's no way Musk can see us."
Sutina said gloomily and repressedly: "Our program is incomparable with his field. Doing this to force fans will definitely make the audience feel disgusted!"
"This is where your abilities come into play, isn't it?" Jiang Lu said: "We must not only satisfy the audience, but also the investors, and the program must be effective."
“Have both and have both, the golden mean.”
Huo Yu said coldly, his voice a bit yin and yang: "Humph, Jiang Lu, you have really grown up. This was not the case when you first returned to China."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Teacher Yan."
Jiang Lu looked at Song Wenbin and smiled and said, "You really made me reflect a lot. You serve the public without complaining and put your own preferences aside. Maybe this is why you are welcomed in any country you go to."
Teacher Yan tilted his head and said nothing.
…
…
After the meeting, Song Wenbin, who got the task, silently walked out of the conference room and wandered aimlessly in the corridor alone.
When he stumbled down the stairs, he saw a few middle-aged people from the marketing department standing at the stairs smoking. They formed a small temporary group, while smoking, they complained about the unfair treatment of their immediate superiors and the difficult needs of customers. When they saw Song Wenbin coming, they immediately stopped complaining, greeted him with a smile, and said, "Hey, Teacher Wei."
"Yes." Song Wenbin responded: "Do you have any cigarettes?"
"Oh." A man quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him, and took out a lighter to light it for him.
Song Wenbin smoked a cigarette and passed by them. He followed the stairs to the top of the building. Standing on the top of the building, he looked down at the huge seal statue. The streets in S City had become very small, let alone the streets. Almost all of them have turned into ants.
He shivered, not because of fear of heights, but because of some unspeakable emptiness.
The smoke filled the air and disappeared hundreds of meters into the sky. Looking at the distant ground, Song Wenbin couldn't help but miss the past days again, those times wandering aimlessly on the street. Compared to such a high position, he was still Prefer the ground.
The moment of nostalgia was instantly broken by the intruder behind him.
Su Tina and Huo Yu rushed to the roof of the building.
Su Tina looked at Song Wenbin squatting next to the statue and smoking, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Huo Yu, on the other hand, walked over angrily, pulled the chimney off Song Wenbin's mouth, threw it on the ground, stamped it out, and asked, "Are you sick?"
Song Wenbin ran out of cigarettes, was stunned, and asked: "What's going on?"
"Why did you agree to those people!" Huo Yu lowered his head and asked loudly.
"Huo Yu, haven't you seen it yet?" Song Wenbin sighed helplessly: "We are very weak now."
Huo Yu said angrily: "You can bully the weak? You are who they say you are!?"
"That's probably it." Song Wenbin stood up, stretched, spread his hands and said, "Just take your time, it's still early to be free."
