I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 218 217. Ready to go on air! Amazing variety show appearance fee!

actually!

They all had some expectations for Jiang Chen to write a novel, but their expectations were not high.

because!

Although poets are also writers and authors, novelists are also writers and authors.

However, the two can almost be said to be two different fields. The higher one is in one field, the more difficult it is to achieve the same level in another field.

Because human energy is limited on the one hand, and cognition is also limited!

Jiang Chen can be said to be at the pinnacle of all time in the fields of ancient and modern poetry.

Therefore, they thought that even if Jiang Chen wrote novels, he would write something literary, showing his literary talent, and would pile up some gorgeous words and sentences.

This is the style of most traditional writers, which focuses on showing literary talent and ideas, with story as a secondary concern. As a result, there will be long passages of descriptions of various landscapes and associations that make readers drowsy.

but……

This is obviously not the case with Jiang Chen’s short story, The Rural Teacher.

The wording is concise, even simple, and the main focus is on telling a story rather than showing off the literary talent.

It took several people a while to finish watching it, and they were all shocked.

Not only is this story shocking and touching, and makes people admire the profession of teacher, but at the same time, people are also shocked that Jiang Chen actually wrote such a touching science fiction novel?

Of course, in their opinion, science fiction is just a background setting, not the main point. This novel does not have some science fiction settings that they cannot understand. It mainly uses the background story to highlight the greatness of the profession of teacher.

After reading it, Yan Ruyu looked at Jiang Chen who was sitting there resting and drinking tea, and some admiration appeared in her eyes again.

As a top student who graduated from the Chinese Department of Shuimu University, she naturally had a good appreciation ability and knew that this short story was definitely an excellent science fiction novel and would definitely be well received if published.

Yan Ruyu came to Jiang Chen and asked curiously, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​writing a science fiction novel? When I first heard that you wanted to write a science fiction novel, I thought it was very interesting!"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I just wanted to write. Every man has a dream of the stars and the sea. I will write down my ideas when I have them."

Yan Ruyu gave a thumbs up and praised him generously: "It's well written! Do you want me to help you publish it?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Well, please submit it for publication. Don't say it was written by me. Just use my pen name."

Yan Ruyu was curious: "Have you thought of a pen name?"

Jiang Chen: "Just call me Bug."

Yan Ruyu widened her eyes slightly: "Bug? Why is it called this name?"

Jiang Chen smiled: "You will know when you read my second novel!"

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly, looking at the pile of manuscript paper full of notes on the desk, and said admiringly: "It seems that you really have a lot of ideas. You have already written so much for the second novel. It's amazing!"

Every student studying Chinese has a literary dream. Yan Ruyu has tried to create before. She has written poems, essays, and novels. Some of her poems and essays have been published in school magazines and small circle magazines. She has also seen other classmates and friends try to create.

However, there are very few people who can write something famous.

People like Jiang Chen, who stand at the pinnacle of poetry and can write such a shocking novel, are truly unique in the entire history.

Han Qing, Chen Xiaojia and others also finished reading the short story. Their eyes were red, and they were obviously moved.

Han Qing said, "Teacher is indeed a great profession, especially for teachers who used to guard mountain villages. My dad said that when he was a child in the countryside, there were only two teachers in the whole school, teaching more than a hundred children, and from first to fifth grade, all courses were taught by two teachers, and there was no free time every day."

"What's a pity is that such teachers are not on the payroll. Their salaries are low when they are working, and their retirement pay is also very low, just enough to live on. My father used to bring food and gifts to his teachers when he returned to the countryside."

Most young people nowadays go to school and grow up in cities or towns, and the countryside is almost empty. So when it comes to rural teachers, most young people and children have no specific concept.

Only those who have experienced it know that rural teachers are the greatest group of teachers. They give the most and get the least, both materially and in return for the least fame. However, they are still willing to give, with a true teacher's heart of love.

Chen Xiaojia, Pu Yuexi, Li Wen, Wang Jing, and Yan Ruyu were all very moved by Han Qing's words, but they did not have a deep understanding after all because they had never seen it.

When the time came, Jiang Chen went back to his room to take a nap.

Han Qing, Yan Ruyu, Pu Yuexi and others packed up and returned to the front yard.

Yan Ruyu took the manuscript written by Jiang Chen and prepared to help Jiang Chen submit it.

but!

Han Qing said softly, "When you submit your manuscript, just type it in on the computer and submit the electronic version. I'll keep Jiang Chen's manuscript for you."

Yan Ruyu listened and nodded: "Yes, I know that Jiang Chen's manuscript is very rare. Although it is written in fountain pen, it is also the pinnacle of hard pen calligraphy."

Looking at Jiang Chen's handwriting on the manuscript paper in her hand, Yan Ruyu still felt pleasing to the eyes. This kind of calligraphy can be said to be the best among the hard pen calligraphy in the past hundred years. No other hard pen calligraphy masters can compare with Jiang Chen.

This is the difference in realm.

Jiang Chen has reached the pinnacle of history in the field of calligraphy. He is still the second person in history, second only to Wang Youjun, but he is not far from surpassing Wang Youjun to become the first person in history. With such a high level of calligraphy, writing hard pen calligraphy can be said to be easy and simple.

Although, in the field of calligraphy, hard pen calligraphy has never been up to standard and is not recognized by traditional calligraphers.

However, Jiang Chen's hard pen calligraphy manuscript will definitely attract the admiration and recognition of all people in the calligraphy world if it is shown to the public.

and so!
Yan Ruyu would naturally not hand it over to others when submitting her work, as that would be like throwing meat buns at a dog, nothing would come back.

After chatting with Han Qing and others for a few minutes, Yan Ruyu left with Jiang Chen's manuscript and quickly returned to Sichuan University to contact science fiction magazine publishers to help Jiang Chen submit his manuscript.

Han Qing quickly notified everyone on the Internet that Jiang Chen would start broadcasting tonight.

The message was notified as soon as it was sent out.

There was an immediate shock.

The top hot topic on all major social platforms was instantly occupied by Jiang Chen!
"Old Jiang, the flowers I've been waiting for are about to wither."

"Where does Lao Jiang broadcast at night? Penguin Live or DouYue Live?"

"It's not bad. Lao Jiang's songs are all new. I haven't gotten tired of listening to them yet. Playing Lao Jiang's songs on repeat every day is not that boring."

"Wow, Haruko-chan, how about we start the show now?"

"Old Jiang is taking a nap now, let's wait until night!"

"I will be there in the evening."

"I turned down the evening dinner and stayed at home to watch Jiang's live broadcast."

"I won't go to work overtime tonight!"

"Old Jiang has been in seclusion for a few days. Will there be any masterpieces published?"

"Old Jiang..."

… Discussions about Jiang Chen’s upcoming live show can be seen everywhere on major social media platforms.

Li Yumin of DouYue Live finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the news, he felt relieved. If Jiang Chen really stopped broadcasting for a month or two, then the 5% of shares he gave away would really be wasted.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen was only off the air for about a week!
Jiang Chen’s popularity on the Internet is higher than before, and his popularity should not drop too much after the show starts.

Li Yumin immediately put the company into action to prepare for Jiang Chen's live broadcast in the evening, and announced the news that Jiang Chen would soon be broadcasting on DouYue.

Many fans who were waiting for Jiang Chen to start broadcasting have all remembered DouYue Live!

……

at the same time!

Guo Haitao also received a call from Han Qing.

"Director Guo, Jiang Chen said he would agree to perform on stage!"

Han Qing told the result as soon as she opened her mouth.

Guo Haitao said happily: "Great, how about next week?"

He couldn't wait to have Jiang Chen perform on the show as soon as possible to boost the ratings.

As for whether Jiang Chen could defeat foreign singers, he was not actually that expectant. At worst, he could just make a final move and force Jiang Chen to win the championship, thus gaining both ratings and the championship.

Win-win!

but!

Han Qing immediately said, "Director Guo, don't worry. Jiang Chen has a request."

Guo Haitao also quickly said, "Don't worry, just tell us what you want. For the appearance fee, we will follow the top standards in the industry and charge by the number of performances. One performance will cost 15 million, which is more than all other top stars."

For a general first-tier celebrity, if calculated by the number of shows, the appearance fee for one performance is only a few million, while the top-tier stars can earn nearly 10 million!
Variety shows are calculated based on one season, so they are not calculated by the number of shows. The contract for the entire season is only tens of millions!
For example, Jiang Chen is paid 15 million for one performance, which is absolutely a sky-high price. He can earn 60 million for four performances. The contract price for the entire season of other top stars is also about this amount.

Han Qing said, "It's not about money. Director Guo, Jiang Chen's requirement is that his work and rest schedule will not be changed. He needs to take a nap at noon and go to bed at 10 o'clock at night. So, he has to get off work before 9 o'clock at night! As for the appearance fee, Jiang Chen doesn't have too high requirements. But as his temporary agent, I think 15 million per performance is a bit low. 25 million is a more appropriate price."

"You have to know that Jiang Chen can earn at least hundreds of millions from a live performance. I'm only quoting you 25 million, which is really not high."

If Han Qing didn't know that the other party couldn't afford it and also knew the market situation in the entertainment industry, she would have offered 100 million for each performance!
Considering that Jiang Chen’s income from a live performance is at least over 100 million, or even 200 or 300 million, even if Han Qing offered Guo Haitao 100 million, it was not high and Jiang Chen still lost money.

only……

The production team of the Singing King Contest cannot afford this price, and it is impossible for Xiangnan TV to pay such an outrageous appearance fee for Jiang Chen alone.

One hundred million per show, if we perform more shows, wouldn’t it cost hundreds of millions?
The entire show didn’t make that much.

Han Qing is currently Jiang Chen's agent. If she thinks purely from the perspective of profit, then Jiang Chen should refuse the performance that only earns tens of millions.

With that much performance time, the income from a live broadcast would be much higher.

However, Han Qing specifically checked the news about the Singer King Contest, and hoped that Jiang Chen could turn the tide, save the Chinese music scene, and defeat foreign singers on the stage. This would also bring Jiang Chen more popularity and exposure, which would be more beneficial to Jiang Chen's long-term development.

after all……

After all, the live broadcast circle is at the bottom of the contempt chain of the entertainment circle.

If Jiang Chen proves himself on TV, his influence will be greater and he will break free from the limitations of the live broadcast circle.

Jiang Chen himself can be willful and do whatever he wants, and Han Qing is very supportive.

However, Han Qing always considered Jiang Chen's long-term interests.

Of course, if Jiang Chen really retired from the society, Han Qing would also be willing to go into seclusion with Jiang Chen.

Now that Jiang Chen continues to broadcast live and appear on TV variety shows, Han Qing will once again strive to maximize the benefits for Jiang Chen.

After hearing what Han Qing said, Guo Haitao felt a little overwhelmed.

Jiang Chen’s request left him speechless!
The singing competition is broadcast live, and it is broadcast simultaneously on video platforms and television. It is in the prime time at 8 o'clock on weekend nights. The program duration is about one and a half hours and lasts until 9:30. It may be longer when advertising time is included.

There is no problem in arranging Jiang Chen to perform before nine o'clock.

but……

Guo Haitao hopes that Jiang Chen can save the ratings, so Jiang Chen's appearance time must naturally be arranged well so as to maximize his popularity.

At the same time, this is also a singing competition variety show, and the order of appearance is based on rankings and is not arranged randomly.

As for the price issue!

Guo Haitao expects that anything within 30 million yuan can be negotiated.

Because he also knew how much money Jiang Chen could earn from a live broadcast, and he felt really embarrassed if he paid too little for the appearance fee.

Han Qing asked for 25 million, and he could agree to it directly.

There may be four or five performances in the future, each with 25 million, and Jiang Chen can get more than 100 million.

This is an absolutely sky-high price for the entertainment industry. If other celebrities received this appearance fee, they would definitely be suspected of participating in money laundering.

However, when Jiang Chen took this price, Guo Haitao knew that Jiang Chen was really losing money, and other people in the circle who knew the situation would not think there was a problem.

Therefore, Guo Haitao did not bother about the price and asked directly, "Han Qing, can we postpone the end of get off work by half an hour? We get off work at 9:30 and Jiang Chen goes to bed at 10 o'clock, so half an hour should be enough, right? We can book him the best hotel suite nearby. It only takes about ten minutes to get there from the studio, and he still has about ten minutes to wash up when he gets back to the hotel."

If someone else had such a request, Guo Haitao would have hung up the phone without saying anything else, too lazy to talk nonsense.

However, the other party was Jiang Chen, so he could only bear with it.

Han Qing said in a serious tone: "Director Guo, this is already a concession, there is no room for negotiation, you should know this."

"So, don't bargain with me. This is the condition. If you can accept it, we can cooperate. If you can't accept it, forget it!"

Guo Haitao was silent.

It has been a long time since he became famous and no one has spoken to him like this. In recent years, even the biggest stars in the domestic entertainment industry have been polite and consultative when speaking to him.

"Okay, I'll think about it and discuss it with the others."

Guo Haitao said in a somewhat stiff tone.

Han Qing: "Okay, Director Guo."

hang up the phone.

Guo Haitao looked a little ugly.
