Chapter 740 Buy Some If It's Suitable
"Teacher Lu!"

"Hey, Mr. Sun, hello."

The person who appeared in front of Lu Yuan was a man with slightly gray hair on his temples, who looked to be in his forties.

But according to the information, the other party just celebrated his 36th birthday last month.

"Where" is a face-to-face conversation with a chatty nature. In addition to hundreds of spectators, there were also several official personnel in blue work clothes.

As the filming began, seeing that Sun Haiyang seemed a little reserved, Lu Yuan poured him a cup of tea and asked, "I remember you came here with your wife, where is your wife?"

Sun Haiyang thanked him and said bitterly, "After the child disappeared, she couldn't bear the blow. She searched for years and gradually couldn't tell reality from fantasy. She thought all the children were our sons. Just now, I saw a little boy downstairs. He was a little excited and wanted to go downstairs. I comforted him and didn't let him come up."

"How old was the child when he disappeared?"

"4 years old!"

Lu Yuan said: "If you don't mind, let's talk about what happened at that time."

"No, no." Sun Haiyang immediately put down his teacup. "That evening, after he finished watching anime and eating, he told me he wanted to go out and play in front of the bun shop. I agreed. His mother was busy chopping green onions in the shop, and I was too busy during the day, so I lay on the bed and fell asleep without realizing it."

"When I woke up, I found that my son had not returned yet, so I hurried out to look for him. Then a neighbor told me that the child was taken away by a man holding candy, who said he was my relative."

"I was stunned at the time. I didn't know where the relative came from. I followed the possible directions and chased him. Every time I came to a crossroads, I was in a dilemma. I didn't know whether to go left or right. I ran for more than ten kilometers in one breath, but still couldn't catch up with my son."

Sun Haiyang recalled the past, rubbed his cheeks and pursed his lips: "I reported the case that night, and the next day, I printed a missing person notice and posted it everywhere, but there was no clue."

"On the third day, I found a surveillance camera outside a small supermarket near my home. From the surveillance video, I saw my son, wearing a yellow kindergarten uniform, leaving with a strange man carrying a briefcase."

As they were talking, a photo of a child and a few seconds of video appeared on the big screen behind them.

A man in white clothes with a mosaic on his face is holding a little boy. The little boy is holding a lollipop in his hand. His well-behaved appearance is heartbreaking.

Lu Yuan was infected by Sun Haiyang's expression. Seeing that his eyes were wet, he took a tissue from the table and handed it to him.

"Puff." Sun Haiyang took it in his hand and blew his nose habitually, saying embarrassedly: "Sorry."

"fine."

"We tried every possible way to find him. We first changed the sign of our steamed bun shop to 'A reward of 200,000 yuan for finding my son' and published his photo in hundreds of media outlets, hoping that some kind-hearted person would provide clues."

"But it's not that easy. Some people called me and said they would pay me first before they would provide any clues. Some even sent me their children's nails, claiming they were my son's. Some even made the children cry over the phone. Although I was skeptical, I always did what they asked, thinking that it might be true."

"You've been looking for seven years?"

“Well, since 07.”

"Is the bun shop still there?"

"He's long gone." Sun Haiyang sighed, "The child is lost, how can I still have the energy to run the business? My wife cries whenever she sees a little boy on the street, and asks about the children whenever she sees someone coming to our door. After a while, people don't like to come to buy things after seeing our missing child notice."

"Then how did you manage to hold on over the past few years?"

"I sold the steamed bun shop and had some money left. I sold some things and later bought a second-hand car and started a taxi. While driving, I posted missing son notices on the streets and alleys. I would also give my son's information and photos to passengers. As soon as I received a call with clues, I would immediately drive to the corresponding place."

"Is your mother also accompanying you in the search? She also went missing once."

"Yes, my mother is illiterate, so she carried a bag full of photos of her grandchildren and advertisements looking for her child. She was reluctant to eat or sleep in a hotel, so she slept on the side of the road. She is old and has a bad memory. She can't remember the way after walking far."

"I advised her not to go out, saying it would only cause trouble for us, so she started crying and said she didn't know where to look, but only by going out to look would there be hope."

"."

"call!"

After the recording was over, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

His identity is the host, but he will subconsciously pay attention to the other person's expression from the perspective of an actor.

Because his next play is about to start shooting, the scene just now, Sun Haiyang's micro-expressions, small movements, etc., are the most real and best materials.

Maybe he was being pretentious, he felt that by doing this he was taking advantage of the other person and it was immoral.

I felt heavy-hearted and conflicted at the same time.

Sun Haiyang looked anxious and asked expectantly, "Teacher Lu, is there really hope?"

During these seven years, he traveled across most of the country and had a lot of business cards from journalists and criminal investigation experts.

They also formed a "Child Search Alliance" with many parents who had lost their children, and everyone encouraged each other and shared information.

There was no audio.

He also accidentally saw someone in the Missing Child Alliance group forwarding a public welfare missing person website established by PPS and relevant departments in Shanghai.

He said that the program team would invite big stars to meet face to face, so I signed up with the idea of ​​giving it a try and left my contact information.

I didn’t expect to receive a call from Shanghai.

After arriving in the Magic City, he found out that it was Lu Yuan who was facing him.

Even though he has been looking for his child all over the country in the past few years, he still knows where Lu Yuan is.

"Lost in Thailand", "Snow Leopard", "New World" and "My Love from the Star", it is no exaggeration to say that he is the most popular star in the country.

Lu Yuan was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Where" is essentially just taking advantage of the popularity of popular stars to get more people in society to pay attention to this matter.

As for the results and whether the program will be accepted by the audience, no one can guarantee it.

After all, this kind of public welfare variety show is destined to be boring and not as interesting as "Running Man" and "Happy Camp".

Even if it is accepted by the audience, it will only add a glimmer of hope on the original basis.

He couldn't comfort her against his conscience, as that would be easy talk. Sun Haiyang had been searching for his son for seven years and had heard all kinds of words of comfort.

After thinking for a moment, he said softly, "Mr. Sun, I can't guarantee you what the result will be, but I can guarantee that I and the program team will do our best to let people from all walks of life know about this matter and pay attention to you and your child."

At this time, the director and official staff of the program team approached.

The director said, "Yes, Mr. Sun, the Weibo post that Mr. Lu just posted has now received over 400 million real comments, setting a record for Weibo comments and ranking first on the hot search list."

"Now the whole network is curious about the program 'Where Are You?', and just a few moments ago, our official website received hundreds of messages from parents who have had the same experience as you, which shows that everyone believes in Mr. Lu's influence. When we officially broadcast it, not to mention other things, hundreds of millions of PPS users will help you keep an eye out for it."

The official added: "We will also actively cooperate and not miss any calls from netizens, please rest assured."

Sun Haiyang looked at the phone handed to him by the director, and the Weibo interface was displayed on the screen.

The first Weibo post was Lu Yuanfa’s promotional post for “Where Are You?”, with 465 million comments and still rising.

"Are you looking for a variety show specially made for children? Personally, I don't like watching such sad shows. I will cry, but since the boss has joined, I will definitely watch it on time."

“I can’t wait to see when it starts airing.”

"How can I register? My brother was lost on the street when he was three years old. My mom often cries when she looks at his clothes and photos. I hope he can be found soon." "Don't cry, the one upstairs. I'll give you my brother. I suspect he was kidnapped. He doesn't listen at all. He calls me sister when he has something to do and Ruhua when he doesn't. I'm so mad at him."

"He is worthy of being the man I have been pursuing for several years. Unlike other slutty girls who appear on any variety show that is popular, he chose a charity variety show."

In addition, Sun Haiyang found that many big Vs were reposting this Weibo, including some celebrities.

It seems that the entire Internet is discussing this variety show.

He couldn't imagine how many people would pay attention to his experience after the show started, and whether there would be a hope of finding his son.

Vaguely, I seemed to see my son running towards me with his schoolbag on his back.

"Teacher Lu, thank you." As he said this, he was about to kneel down.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Lu Yuan hurriedly held his arm, feeling increasingly heavy-hearted.

He had some selfish motives in letting PPS produce "Where?"

Being in the spotlight, popular actors have almost no privacy, and his situation is even more special.

The movies he starred in have accumulated box office revenue of billions, and the movie he invested in, "My Love from the Star", generated nearly 10 billion in revenue for Yuanfang Media.

Perhaps most netizens will not pay special attention to his relationship with Yuanfang Media.

But he received more than 100 million yuan in personal salary and dividends from "My Love from the Star".

It was a sensation.

Therefore, in recent years the media has been reporting extensively on the topic of his income, believing that his income is the highest in the entertainment industry, earning several hundred million a year.

Money and fame are in the eyes of the people. What is more worrying is the inequality of distribution of wealth. The nail that sticks out gets shot. He needs to do something to shut everyone up and make his own image more positive.

For example, making a public welfare film and donating all subsequent income.

These are all his selfish desires.

But when he really communicated with Sun Haiyang and listened to him retell those miserable experiences, all he felt was sympathy.

He decided that he would continue recording "Where" even if he lost money.

After finishing the recording, Lu Yuan planned to find Lu Jing to discuss the idea of ​​adapting the male-oriented novel.

Huang Xiaoming called.

"Hey, senior brother!"

Huang Xiaoming on the other side joked with a smile: "Hello, man who started the era of mainland traffic."

"Hey, why are you playing this too? Don't mention it, it's so embarrassing." Lu Yuan was speechless.

"Why are you embarrassed? In less than an hour, you have received nearly 5 million comments, and they are all real comments. You have completely refreshed the perception of the industry. I estimate that your commercial value in the eyes of major brands will rise by another degree. You are a typical example of taking advantage of others. Don't you know how many people envy you? Huanrui has spent all the marketing fees for Li Yifeng on you."

"Okay, okay, let's skip this topic and talk about the matter at hand."

"Then I'll be frank. How do you feel about 'Where Are You'? There's not much information online. How many episodes have you recorded? Are you still short of guests? I don't charge any fees. Yang Ying and I can both make time for it."

Lu Yuan secretly complained in his heart, probably mainly because of Yang Ying, but he didn't expose it, which played into the hands of the program crew and him.

He hopes that in the future the show "Where" will give the audience the impression that only the most popular male and female actors in the entertainment industry are eligible to receive invitations.

It has become a popularity test and barometer in the entertainment industry, and actors should be proud of participating in this program.

Your brother is a hotshot, and your sister is a popular actress.

Have you ever been on the show "Where Are You?" Has the program invited you? Have you ever helped abducted families?

Oh, nothing. Then why are you so famous?
"The program is pretty good. We are currently recording the first episode. However, there are many interested guests. Not to mention Huang Bo and Xu Zheng, the older generation like Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo also have ideas. You'd better hurry up." Lu Yuan said.

In fact, the program crew hasn't looked for anyone else at all. Artists in the circle are extremely realistic. They go on the show for two reasons: exposure and money.

As a newly established public welfare variety show, "Where" pays little and has not been tested by the market. It is still uncertain whether anyone will like to watch it after it is broadcast, so few popular artists are willing to agree to come.

But when he announced his joining on Weibo, things became different. Rather than saying that these people were attracted by the popularity of "Where Are You", it would be more accurate to say that they wanted to take advantage of his popularity.

Just then the director's cell phone rang.

He answered the phone and said, "Hello, this is Liu Dehua's agent. Yes, there are many guests who are interested, including Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, and Xu Zheng."

Lu Yuan gave him a thumbs up and then walked towards Lu Jing's office.

Lu Jing was slacking off in the office at the moment, with "Three Lives Three Worlds" playing on his computer.

After seeing the exciting part, she used her own account "Sister-in-law, don't move, I am my brother" to cast 10,000 votes for Liu Shishi, and once again became the number one on the voting list.

When he was feeling very proud of himself, he suddenly saw his cousin staring at him outside the window, and he exited the interface guiltily.

"Brother, why are you here?" she asked cautiously.

After Lu Yuan came in, he asked in confusion: "We are here to record a show in Shanghai today, didn't you know?"

"Oh, I forgot, I forgot." Lu Jing laughed: "Brother, I'll ask someone to make you a cup of tea."

"Don't bother, I'll be back soon. What is the current gender ratio of PPS users?"

Lu Jing answered fluently: "Female users account for a relatively high proportion, reaching 65%, male users account for 29%, and the rest account for 6%. The main user groups are between 24 and 35 years old."

Lu Yuan nodded and said without further ado, "The data for Three Lives, Three Worlds is pretty good. Don't you like reading novels? PPS can pick a few male-oriented novels to test the waters next."

"As for me, I watch men's movies, but I don't watch them that much."

"Your team should write a research report. The proportion of male users of PPS is too low. It cannot stand on one leg."

"Okay." Lu Jing agreed, but he felt that adapting the male channel was a thankless task.

Women are the topic makers, happy to share on social media, and are the main consumers. They are impulsive consumers, especially when it comes to paying for spiritual consumption. Men have no purchasing power at all, are very rational, and are always fussy.

"What do you usually watch?"

"They are all popular this year." Lu Jing pushed the decorative glasses on his face.

"Let me think about it. There are Joy of Life, The Legend of Chusen, The Snow Blade, and The Great Ruler. However, some of them are not suitable for TV series adaptation. The characteristic of male-oriented movies is that they are too imaginative, and the main idea is often rubbed out. The special effects are probably not good enough. And the copyright of The Legend of Chusen seems to have been bought by Huanrui last year."

"Well, buy some if you think they're suitable and save them for later. If film or TV adaptations don't work, then anime will do."

"Good!" Lu Jing thought the idea of ​​animation was good.

Compared with TV dramas, sports videos, animation, and e-sports events are more popular among male users.

Panda TV, which was jointly invested by my cousin, NetEase and Wang Sicong, is currently thriving thanks to games such as "League of Legends", and most of its users are male.
