Huayu 2007: Starting with Super Boy!

Broadcasting Building.

The station director's office.

A gathering of outstanding individuals.

Wang Yihan sat quietly in the corner.

Listening to the crowd's eloquent discussions.

The discussion is not about the script itself.

The script was actually finalized from the beginning with director Shen Yi's approval.

Since they're unwilling to sell the copyright, let's make our own "Meteor Garden".

Yes, I'm talking about "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Together" written by Wang Yihan.

Right now, everyone's discussions are focused on: the production budget, the production team, the publicity team, and most importantly, how to package the lead actors in this TV series.

We'll strive to create our own mainland F4... wait, no, it should be called H4.

Yes, the key point is the word "star-making".

Looking at Hunan TV's actions in recent years, you can understand why they are doing this.

Super Girl and Super Boy – these two golden brands.

The traffic stars they created have made Hunan TV very wealthy.

Not to mention the significant increase in viewership.

Moreover, this growth is sustainable.

This is extremely important for leaders at the station who want to advance.

The meeting has ended.

Wang Yihan quickly slipped out.

The atmosphere here isn't really suitable for someone as insignificant as him.

I feel so stuffy.

But Danny Long called out to him.

"Director Long, is there anything else?" Wang Yihan turned around and smiled.

"Come with me!" Long Danny led him back to his small office.

He instructed his secretary to prepare tea.

Wang Yihan sniffed with her sensitive nose.

The tea is much better than the last time I had it.

interesting.

After the secretary left, she spoke up, "There are some things I need to warn you about in advance."

Hearing this, his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be... there's some other twist or turn?

Long Danny seemed to understand what he was worried about, and waved his hand, saying, "It's not what you're worried about. Since the leaders have given their approval, this drama will definitely be filmed."

That's fine!

Wang Yihan breathed a sigh of relief.

He shamelessly wanted to stay at Tianyu for a while longer, hoping to take the opportunity to make some more money from the TV series.

After all, this is the era we live in.

They want to be famous, they want to be popular.

Singing alone isn't enough.

The era of becoming famous overnight with a single performance is long gone. (Xiao Shenyang, who became an overnight sensation after the 09 Spring Festival Gala, is an exception; that was due to a combination of favorable timing, location, and people, and most importantly, a good mentor.)

Even if this is possible in the future internet era.

However, most of those online singers are famous for their songs but not for themselves. (The three giants on QQ Music are the result of countless hit songs accumulating fans, a quantitative change leading to a qualitative one.)

Now I want to become famous.

Just look at the most popular female celebrity, Liu Yifei, and you'll know.

We need to make TV dramas that young people like to watch and that have high viewership ratings.

Idol dramas are the best shortcut.

At this point in time, Hunan TV was basically the only domestic station capable of producing high-quality idol dramas.

"Please tell me! I'm willing to do anything as long as the TV series can be filmed and broadcast smoothly," Wang Yihan said, taking a step back to move forward.

Danny Long wasn't surprised by what he said.

I knew he was a smart man all along.

So he bluntly stated, "Your name won't be listed in the scriptwriter credits for this show, you understand?"

"I understand!" Wang Yihan smiled on the outside, but cursed inwardly.

Damn it, have I become a ghostwriter?

But then again, what's the big deal about screenwriters in the country?

Unless you rise to the very top tier, like Liu Heping, a screenwriter is just someone who ends up on the sidelines.

Whether or not he has this signature is not important to him.

Of course, despite this, he was still very unhappy.

I wonder which young master or young lady in the station needs this performance record.

"Of course, the station knows your grievances. They will include the screenwriting fee in your salary and settle it with you together. Moreover, the company will not take a share of this screenwriting fee."

Long Danny took a small sip of tea and said.

It shows some sincerity, but not much.

If you're truly sincere, you shouldn't even want a share of the film's salary.

After all, the salary is the main expense.

"Is there anything else?" Long Danny prepared to serve tea and see the guest out.

Wang Yihan didn't get up immediately, but instead asked, "Has the company already chosen the actors for this drama?"

Danny looked at him in surprise. "Why are you asking this?"

He's not usually a gossipmonger.

Could it be...?

She suddenly remembered the rumors circulating at the station and put down her teacup with amusement: "Forget about it. Even if I did agree, the station wouldn't approve it."

Why should I give up?

What did you promise?

Wang Yihan looked completely bewildered.

I just want to know if the actors will still be those familiar legendary figures.

I'm afraid I'll be implicated in the future and the TV series will be taken down!

"Director Long, I don't understand!" Wang Yihan cautiously probed.

"You're such a sly little devil, pretending not to know what's going on with me, huh?" Long Danny decided to give him a little warning, to keep him from getting too cocky lately, so he spoke bluntly:

"I know you want to get a role for your girlfriend, but let me tell you, that's impossible."

"Although she debuted from our station's talent show, so in theory she should be considered part of our family, she signed with another agency. We at Tianyu and Hunan TV won't do the work for someone else."

"This kind of thing can be summed up in three words: impossible!"

"Got it?"

Wang Yihan looked at the other person with a strange expression.

Did I mean that?

This is all just your imagination, okay?

Even if I'm stupid, I know that such a thing could never happen to Tianyu.

What kind of person Tianyu is, others may not know, but how could I not know?

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your explanation, Director Long."

What else can Wang Yihan say?

You can only go along with what the other person says.

Otherwise, the situation would be awkward.

Seeing that he didn't persist, Long Danny let him off the hook, "Alright, go ahead!"

"From now on, always remember your place and heed my advice!"

.......

Leave the Broadcasting Building.

I glanced back at the place where this dream began.

Wang Yihan let out a long breath.

This is ultimately not the place to continue pursuing dreams.

If given a choice, no one would want to be a double agent.

He used to enjoy watching basketball and football, and now he gets teary-eyed when he sees stories of one person and one city.

But he also knew that it was just a fairy tale.

Never empathize with capitalists!

Ordinary people want to move up in society.

Even if it were more than Lü Bu, who served three masters, it would still be worth it.

Of course, the premise is that you don't betray someone.

That's a matter of character.

Back to the hotel.

Wang Yihan first called his girlfriend.

I talked to her about what happened while she was away recently.

I told her everything, from recording songs to the upcoming TV series.

She also shared some interesting anecdotes about running around for gigs.

After a long phone call.

Wang Yihan thought for a moment and then called her good friend Su Xing.

"There's something I need to tell you."

"What's up?"

"I went to the station today, and this is what happened..."

Blah blah blah, Wang Yihan told him about the TV series.

"Huh? Is it a TV series like Shan Cai and Dao Ming Si?" Su Xing seemed very interested.
