Chapter 802: New Year’s Eve (Part 1)

The environment of Taeyeon's community is really good, especially the green area. The community built on the mountain is rich in vegetation resources. The spaces between the houses are separated by abundant green shapes. There are even artificial viewing pools designed between some buildings. Of course, there are also indoor and outdoor sports fields, gyms, and other supporting facilities in the community...

The greening of this community is really much better than Zhang Ping'an's 'Lai Mei'an' apartment in Longshan District. After all, Zhang Ping'an's high-rise riverside apartment only has two buildings. The main focus of his community is the view and river view. And this community is... the environment within the community. The concepts pursued by the two communities themselves are different. Perhaps such a community environment is more suitable for raising dogs, right?

As for Taeyeon’s purchase of her next dog, ‘Jero Zero’, Zhang Pingan’s memory was at the end of 2017. And now Taeyeon is still feeding Kanazawa, uh, well, because of the filming of the MV, 'Kanaze' has been sent to Jeonju. At this time, there is no sign of him coming to Seoul, mainly because Taeyeon has only recently started solo, and she feels that she is too busy to take care of Jintaek.

Moreover, Taeyeon had just released her third album "Rain". It had not been two days before she received a text message from her manager informing her. The company is already preparing her new album, which is expected to be released in early summer. In early summer, the end of May and the beginning of June, it means that after the Spring Festival, she will start to prepare for the album. How can she still have the time to take care of "Kanaze" at that time?

So the last time she went overseas for filming, which was when she was about to start her solo, she sent the dog back and she still hasn’t thought about picking it up again.

Just when Zhang Pingan was staring blankly at the comfortable community environment here, Pani and his wife had already visited the bedroom and came out. While they were still chatting about the decoration in the 'static area', Zhang Pingan turned his head. He looked at the two of them.

Taeyeon looked at Zhang Ping'an's gaze, she smiled and said, "Have you eaten?"

Zhang Pingan looked at Taeyeon and responded: "I had brunch at the cafe earlier, didn't you two eat it?"

Taeyeon smiled softly and responded: "I just ate some bread in the morning, I'm a little hungry."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said, "Let's go and eat."

Taeyeon's new home has not been officially decorated yet, so it's enough to just take a quick tour. The three of them quickly came out of the house and went directly to the garage. The two of them didn't drive when they came here today because they had agreed with Zhang Pingan to meet here.

After the two got into Zhang Pingan's vehicle, Pani, who was sitting in the back, fastened his seat belt and said, "By the way, I just heard Taeyeon say that you are producing a new show?"

Zhang Ping'an started the vehicle and set off, while responding to Pani: "There is no production yet, just a preliminary idea. And I have so many things to do recently, how can I have time to do it?"

They also knew that Zhang Pingan was very busy recently, so Pani did not continue to bother about this new program. She turned around and said: "By the way, SBS launched the new program "The Three Heavenly Kings of Baek Jong-won" at the end of last year. Listen. It was said that you took the lead in planning it at the beginning, but why did you withdraw from it later? "

Zhang Ping'an's answer was also very simple: "Because that program overlapped with "IOI", and my focus was more on "IOI", so I quit in the end. I watched "The Three Heavenly Kings" The results of the show were very good.”

Pani said with a smile: "The investment in this food show is too big. It invites celebrities from all over the place to come to the scene, and also invites so many viewers to enjoy the food together. Now I want to participate in this show." "

Originally, the program also upheld Zhang Pingan's consistent large investment, but later he completely quit after the program was planned. The program team continued to follow up with Zhang Pingan's plan, organized filming, and also planned the program. The team also followed the 'luxury' route planned by Zhang Pingan for filming.

But Zhang Pingan knew that this kind of shooting would be very laborious without external funds and sponsorship.

Of course, this effort means that the benefits cannot be maximized, because the investment is relatively large, the return is not necessarily ideal, and there are a hundred spectators waiting for the meal. The cost for viewers to eat each episode starts at a million, which is still the lowest... If you order a beef patty or spicy crab soup, it will cost several million. This is just an investment in food and beverage, not including performance fees, staff, etc. This period will cost tens of millions.

You must know that the tens of millions of investment in variety shows in TV stations are all at the weekend ace level. As for the food program for the audience to enjoy, this cost still needs to be considered how to save it.

So Zhang Pingan smiled and said at this time: "This kind of shooting method... will definitely be revised soon. Well, this Spring Festival is the best time for revision. The program team will definitely not continue to shoot in this style after the Spring Festival." ”

"Since you think this shooting method is not feasible, when you originally designed this program, didn't you think about how to get back the money?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "Return on money? I have never thought about looking for any money back on food programs. And what I envisioned is to use a food program to lead a food documentary. My main focus is on documentaries! !”

When hearing Zhang Pingan's plan to make a food documentary, Tiffany shook her head and said, "So that's what you planned? It means that you are now intentionally withdrawing from this program?" Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, what do you mean by intentionally withdrawing? I really don't have time to cooperate with SBS. Otherwise, I wouldn't have worked so hard to make this program? Do you know how complicated it is to collect relevant strategies for food stores? Do you know that for every food store recommended by netizens, we ask the staff to evaluate it in advance? Forget it... I won't tell you this. You only see the eating, but you didn't see our program team visiting the store and being rejected by those well-known stores." The program requires the store to cook on site, and after arriving at the scene, they have to face the host to ask for the secret recipe of the dish, so it is very difficult to convince the store. So Tiffany looked at Zhang Pingan and said, "Uh, did you visit the store?" Zhang Pingan's answer was very straightforward: "No, I heard from the staff." The three of them came to a Western restaurant near Taeyeon's new home. Zhang Pingan didn't ask for food, but just asked for a drink and sat here to accompany them to eat and chat together. They talked about some ordinary work routines. Zhang Pingan also said that he would be back soon after this trip, and then he would set out to shoot "New Journey to the West".

In fact, after the beginning of the Lunar New Year, everyone around Zhang Pingan began to get busy. Taeyeon will be preparing for a new album soon after the Spring Festival, and Tiffany will also be filming a new female variety show after the Spring Festival. Lee Ji-eun's TV series has been filming, and he is also... Busy will become the main theme of the New Year chapter.

.......

On New Year's Eve, the plane landed in Shanghai, and Zhang Pingan came out of the airport alone... No one came back with him this Spring Festival. Of course, because he would not stay in Shanghai for too long, Lee Ji-eun's crew only had three days of Spring Festival holiday, and she was thinking of taking advantage of the rare rest time to spend some time with Zhang Pingan in the new home.

After leaving the airport, Zhang Pingan took a taxi directly to his parents' home. When the driver heard Zhang Pingan say that he was going to the luxurious villa area of ​​'Dan Palace', he couldn't help but look at Zhang Pingan twice. There was no conversation in the car. Zhang Pingan lowered his head and held his phone to send Spring Festival greetings to his friends in China. At the same time, he also sent 8,888 yuan to each anchor he knew. The anchors who were able to enter Zhang Pingan's phone book would not be ecstatic about the 8,888 yuan transfer red envelope. In addition, the live broadcast industry has become more lively this year, especially during the Spring Festival, their daily income is very good..

But they were still very surprised to receive the transfer red envelope from Zhang Pingan. Xiaoxiao quickly replied: "Oh, thank you for the New Year red envelope from Brother An, I wish you and your family good health and all the best."

The big star Da Mimi also received a red envelope from Zhang Pingan: "Huh? Red envelope?"

Zhang Pingan smiled and deliberately sent a message: "A red envelope for our little niece. I hope she can make money like her mother when she grows up."

Da Mimi replied: "...Thank you on her behalf, Happy Spring Festival!"

After receiving the red envelope, Pang Di: "Thank you for the red envelope from Boss Zhang, I wish you a big fortune in the New Year. Hehe, I will "eat" under your hands this year."

Not long ago, Zhang Pingan's company announced the New Year's production of "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", and also publicly announced that the drama will be invested with a heavy investment of "100 million" to create. After this news came out, many people were still amazed. After all, everyone in the circle is investing heavily in movies now, but companies that are willing to invest so much in TV series are rare.

Perhaps Zhang Ping'an's intention this time is to increase the production cost of domestic TV series in China. After all, TV and movies are things that have higher production costs and better effects.

Moreover, for directors, it is relatively easy for them to have such a sponsor who is willing to invest, after all, the crew will not be in a hurry to shoot with money. There are a lot of bad TV series nowadays, and from time to time, you will encounter bosses who withdraw their investment in the middle of shooting, which is what directors hate the most.

Of course, Zhang Ping'an will never have this problem here, because it is not the director's script, but the script of his own company. You just need to find a shooting director to produce it, and they will definitely not withdraw their investment in the middle of shooting.
