After finishing the talk with Director Liu, Chen Yiyang returned to the dining table to continue the discussion with the other party.
Earlier, Director Liu had given a rough price range for the components, and Chen Yiyang reported the price to the other party.
The other party had soone calculate it and felt the price was reasonable.
"You still need to send people over to help us build the factory, train the employees, and teach them how to assemble things." The other party raised new conditions.
"We can send personnel." Chen Yiyang agreed.
This would at most entail paying a few more salaries, and the cost wouldn’t be high.
"Then, let’s have a pleasant cooperation, may our friendship last forever."
Both sides finished the discussion happily and then shook hands to confirm the cooperation.
After seeing off these people, Chen Yiyang found Gena alone and talked to him about the ten percent share issue.
"You’re too generous, my friend." Gena hugged Chen Yiyang briefly, "But I’ve also taken shares over there, I don’t need yours here."
"That’s a different matter." Chen Yiyang deliberately put on a stern face and said, "These shares are all you’re due, without you, there wouldn’t be a chance for this cooperation."
"Haha, then let’s regard it as a symbol of our friendship." Gena gladly accepted the shares.
After talking with Gena, Chen Yiyang didn’t stay long in Moscow.
Honestly, there wasn’t much fun in this place, if traveling, one should go to Saint Petersburg.
Moreover, Chen Yiyang still needed to go back and discuss so details with Director Liu, helping both sides establish communication channels.
But before heading to the West Capital, he had to make a trip to the Imperial Capital.
Hu Lei from the Love Again program group invited him over for a talk.
On the phone, Hu Lei didn’t explain clearly, just said he wanted to have a face-to-face eting with Chen Yiyang.
Chen Yiyang naturally had to go over.
Mainly because the airing of the Love Again 4 reality show was nearing its end.
But its popularity was rising instead of declining on the internet.
If the show continued with a fifth season, it was estimated that the enthusiasm wouldn’t be too low.
The Luzon Food Factory hoped to continue signing advertising slots for the next season of the program.
Chen Yiyang needed to go over and settle the matter.
After arriving at the Imperial Capital, Chen Yiyang was still swiping through house buying deals.
This made him sowhat tempted to really buy a house in the Imperial Capital.
But for soone like him who could often spot investnt misses, the cost performance of buying a house was actually rather low.
After all, the potential for a rise in house price has noticeably hit bottom.
Second- and third-tier cities are seeing price drops, most first-tier cities have stabilized their housing prices, but further increases are challenging.
A large number of housing enterprises are now relying on governnt support to survive.
Chen Yiyang t Hu Lei at the ’Love Again’ program group’s office.
"Mr. Chen, when we previously cooperated with you, I hadn’t imagined your competence to be this strong; I must admit I underestimated you."
This ti, Hu Lei set a relatively humble posture when eting Chen Yiyang.
On one hand, it was due to the reputation boost from replacing the male lead of The Longest Day In Chang’an, a major project.
On the other hand, Chen Yiyang could see that Hu Lei had so requests for him.
"We’re friends, so just say what you need, let’s reduce ineffective communication."
Chen Yiyang sat down and watched Hu Lei pour him a cup of tea, casually holding the teacup in his hand to feel the temperature.
"Here’s the thing." Hu Lei saw that Chen Yiyang didn’t want to beat around the bush, so he simply closed the office door and sat beside Chen Yiyang to speak.
"You’ve seen the content of our Love Again program; so of the content there really challenges a normal person’s worldview.
Moreover, the discussion about the couple Ma Ling and Li Liang has been quite hot online.
When we were shooting the program before, we didn’t actually expect the show to be so popular, so we used material to create two endings.
One ending is Ma Ling and Li Liang suspected to divorce, and one ending is both of them reconciling."
"Wait a minute." At this point, Chen Yiyang interrupted Hu Lei.
"Isn’t this a reality TV show? The guests do have conflicts to be resolved. How can there be two endings? This isn’t a movie."
Chen Yiyang was a bit puzzled. Although he knew so reality TV shows do have scripts, and the stars invited perform according to them.
But this Love Again is a reality show focusing on couples’ divorce, with so internet celebrities or people from general backgrounds.
Like Ma Ling, who is entirely a regular person.
Chen Yiyang didn’t believe that Ma Ling, being an ordinary person, perford entirely according to a script on the show.
"Here’s the thing." Hu Lei explained to Chen Yiyang, "Our reality show does have a script, but the script is very broad.
Broadly it’s like telling the guests, we will have so activity later, then we need you as a couple to talk about each other’s conflicts, and so on.
It definitely doesn’t say it’s like a movie, where every word and every scene is designed."
"So, the two endings are?"
"It’s actually just a thod of editing." Hu Lei explained, "For example, normally you would say hello to a good friend on the show with a phrase ’forget it’.
But once the program group records this material, they can edit the material after another person finishes speaking, cutting to your scene. This will prompt viewers to think you’re insulting this person."
After Hu Lei said so, Chen Yiyang understood.
Previously, there was a trending topic about the charm of journalism science.
For example, a photo of workers learning CPR.
Cutting off the right half can portray the workers being punished to kneel for making mistakes.
Cutting off the left half can suggest a construction site covering up a large number of worker deaths.
Such techniques are not only common in journalism but also frequently employed in reality TV shows.
Ma Ling and Li Liang’s bizarre interactions are indeed real.
But life isn’t like a reality show; it doesn’t reach a conclusion quickly.
So, Ma Ling and Li Liang likely didn’t definitively announce whether they would divorce or continue living together by the show’s end.
But a reality show needs to provide viewers with an ending.
Therefore, the Love Again program group prepared two endings beforehand.
One ending is using editing to lead viewers to believe they have divorced.
The other ending lets viewers believe the couple will continue together, with no plans to divorce anyti soon.
"Then you just pick which ending you think is good, air it, what involves ?" Chen Yiyang wondered.
"Mainly because the popularity of ’Love Again 4’ is too high now. Many online are accusing our content of affecting national marriage intentions.
So people are even saying Ma Ling and Li Liang are normal people, and the content on the program is maliciously edited by us.
At this ti, if we release the divorce ending,
we may very likely face so social pressure.
I hope Mr. Chen could help contact the authorities above, ask which kind of ending we should broadcast."
"Is that so." Chen Yiyang relaxedly brought the teacup in his hand to his mouth and took a sip of tea.
