Bear Grylls, a retired British soldier. But he is more famous now as a best-selling author.
His books were all about his various adventures. This year, he was leading a team on a hard-bottomed rubber boat across the frozen North Atlantic Ocean.
To Feng Yu, Bear Grylls is someone who will not die. Hmmm … he should be buffed by the protagonist's halo.
Today, Bear Grylls came to Hua Xia's Shanghai. He was invited by Amazon's Director, Mr. Ralph, to talk about hosting a TV program.
Bear Grylls's books are also selling well on Amazon, and he plans to release his second book next year, which is about his crossing the frozen ocean.
But Bear Grylls did not expect to be invited by Amazon's Director, and he even told him that he will like a job.
"Mr. Ralph, when will the producer you mentioned arrive?"
"He will be here soon. I can guarantee that he is someone you will never expect." Ralph smiled mysteriously.
Bear Grylls wanted to ask more questions, but Ralph is not interested in chatting with him. So, he waited quietly.
After a while, the door opened, and a Chinese man in his thirties entered without knocking.
Bear Grylls frowned. This man is too rude. There are other people in the room, and he did not even knock before entering.
Before Bear Grylls could say anything, Mr. Ralph stood up and bowed slightly. This is how a subordinate greets his superior. Who is this young Asian man?
"Nice to meet you, Bear Grylls. I am Feng Yu. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you. Are you the producer of this show?"
Producer? Feng Yu turned and looked at Ralph. Is this how you introduce me?
At most, Feng Yu can only provide an idea. If he wants to produce a program, he must know how to do it. No matter how many shows you watch, it does not mean you know how to produce. Many people had watched movies, but how many dare to say they know how to produce movies? They might not even know how to write a basic script.
Ralph added. "Grylls, this is my boss, Feng Yu. Do you think this name is familiar?"
Bear Grylls lowered his head. Feng Yu seemed familiar. He suddenly raised his head and shouted, "You are Mr. Feng Yu, the richest man in the world?!"
Feng Yu smiled and nodded. At the same time, he felt a little helpless. He thought that Bear Grylls didn't care about his identity, but it turned out that he didn't know.
"You want to make a show, hire my team, and let me be the host?" Bear Grylls asked again.
"Why? Are you not confident?" Feng Yu asked.
"I've done a show before, but I don't know if you've watched it. Maybe it's different from what you imagined," Bear Grylls said hesitantly.
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. What I want is different. This is a basic proposal for the program. Take a look and see if you're interested. "
Feng Yu handed an English proposal to Bear Grylls and leaned back on the sofa, sipping his hot tea.
Bear Grylls did not have high hopes for this program. But Ralph told him that he can sponsor a large sum of money for him to go on an adventure, and that's why he agreed.
But after reading the proposal, Bear Grylls's eyes brighten up.
This program proposal was just too much to his liking. He wants to host this program, and even if he can't be the host, he wants to be a part of it!
"Mr. Feng Yu."
"Feng is my surname."
"Mr. Feng, I am very interested in this program. Please let my team handle it, and I promise they will do a good job. But this proposal is a bit rough. Can I see the details? "Bear Grylls asked anxiously.
"You are interested? That's great. But did you notice that the filming of this program must be done by you all? I will provide you all with a HD DV, but the real HD DV is about the size of a shoe. I will also provide all your expenses, and at the same time, you all must provide me with authentic footage. I will get my men to edit the footage and sell it to some TV channels. "
"As for your salaries, I don't care how you all split it. The detailed proposal is still in production, and after you sign the contract, you can see the details of the first program. I think this program will make you even more famous. "
It's not difficult for Bear Grylls and his team to film the program themselves. Furthermore, it was mentioned that after every episode, there would be a certain amount of time to rest. However, the higher-ups said that all equipment must be approved by the producer, which made Bear Grylls rather unhappy. Those equipment are to be used to save lives, and how can they be sloppy?
"Mr. Feng, I will make a list of the basic equipment. You are going to promote your equipment, right? But my team must inspect your equipment and be satisfied with it."
Promote equipment? That's just a side benefit. Feng Yu wants to promote his HD DV. Although the DV's technology is not up to Sony's standards, it's good enough to film this program.
"No problem. If the equipment I provide is not up to your standards, you can tell me, and I will get my men to purchase it according to your requirements. Oh, by the way, if possible, your clothes need to have our brand logo conspicuously on them. Of course, we can discuss if you need to remove the logo. "
There are too many advertising elements in a program, and many of them can be used without leaving any traces. For example, in a movie, when the hero and heroine meet at McDonald's for the first time, no one will be surprised. But McDonald's advertising might be used in the movie, and someone might imitate the scenes in the movie to increase McDonald's revenue.
"Also, there must be some scenes where the logo appears clearly. I am not a philanthropist. I am a businessman."
"All these are not a problem. As for the price, I need to discuss with my team. But don't worry, Mr. Feng. I will surely film this program. "Bear Grylls emphasized again. He is afraid others will snatch this opportunity from him.
"I will wait for your good news. According to our Hua Xia tradition, we should prepare a banquet for you tonight. Ralph, bring him back to the hotel to rest. We can continue our discussion during dinner."
In Feng Yu's previous life, Bear Grylls is the man at the top of the food chain and dares to eat anything.
Feng Yu wants to see if Bear Grylls dares to eat Hua Xia's scary food. Hmmm … maybe I can prepare some raw food for him.
If this documentary is successful, then the documentary producers will notice Wind and Rain's HD DV. Although some of the features are not as good as the Japanese DV, it is smaller, more durable, and more portable. This should increase the sales of Wind and Rain DV.
