Gao Jun was dumbfounded. Xia Ruofei's drinking style really scared him.
Xia Ruofei had already downed more than a catty of white wine before they even started toasting. This was the limit of most people's alcohol tolerance, but Xia Ruofei was still talking and laughing as if nothing had happened. His eyes were clear, and there was no trace of drunkenness at all.
Gao Jun had seen many people with good alcohol tolerance, but he had never seen someone like Xia Ruofei.
Gao Jun had participated in all kinds of dinners, and there was no lack of people who were very bold when it came to drinking. In particular, some of the leaders had specially brought professional escorts to the dinners. They drank as if they were drinking water.
However, Gao Jun was very clear about the rules. Those who drank large glasses of white wine didn't even blink their eyes. Some of them were given a task by the leaders. Even if they couldn't do it, they would bite the bullet and go to the bathroom to dig it out. There were also those who were experienced in drinking and would use all kinds of tricks, such as not swallowing the wine after drinking and secretly spitting it into a handkerchief while wiping their mouth. There were simply too many of them to count.
In all these years, Gao Jun had only seen Xia Ruofei finish more than a catty of white wine in such a short time without using any tricks and with a calm expression and clear eyes.
Since Xia Ruofei was toasting, everyone naturally gave him face. Although Xia Ruofei said that everyone could drink casually, Xia Ruofei had downed more than half a catty of white wine in one gulp. Who would really drink casually?
Therefore, everyone, including Gao Jun, drank a small glass of white wine very quickly.
Xia Ruofei then sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and ate his first bite since coming to the private room tonight.
Xia Ruofei chewed the stir-fried shredded eel carefully and swallowed it before saying, "Brother Zhao, Gao Tai, since we are cooperating with the program team, is there anything we need to do in the early stages?"
Gao Jun smiled and said, "Generally speaking, we just need a mushroom house — this is also the standard for our show. In addition, we also need an attached building, mainly for some equipment and staff."
Zhao Yongjun added, "I have communicated with Yi Fan today. He will give priority to the design of the two buildings needed by the program. Later, the program group will send someone to communicate with Yi Fan. Yi Fan has promised to integrate the design of the mushroom house into the overall design of the clubhouse. In this way, after the program is recorded in the future, these two buildings will continue to be retained."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "That's good. I'm just afraid that this will cause unnecessary trouble for the club."
Gao Jun said, "Boss Xia, don't worry. We will communicate fully and make sure that the club will not be delayed."
Xia Ruofei had some doubts. "Gaotai, forgive me for being blunt! The recording of this program would last at least one to two months, or even two to three months, right? At that time, the construction of the club would be more or less affected, right? It was impossible for the background of the camera to be a busy construction site, right? What village life was there to talk about? It's all reinforced concrete … "
Gao Jun said with a smile, "Boss Xia, you don't know that the camera only shows part of the area. The construction of other places outside of the camera will not be affected. As long as the schedule is appropriate, the construction of the club will not be delayed."
Gao Jun paused and then said, "In addition, we will try to integrate the design of the show with the design of the club. For example, the place to plant vegetables will be chosen in the green space planned by the club. After the program is recorded, it will be easy to modify. In addition, I also plan to use a net to enclose an area by the lake for the program group to raise fish. These facilities can also be retained by the club in the future. "
Song Rui said with a smile, "Ruofei, don't worry. Gaotai has been doing variety shows for so many years. He has already thought of what you can think of. In short, you just need to know that introducing this program will not affect the construction progress of the club at all. It's a win-win for both sides. That's enough!"
"Well!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I really don't have any experience in this area. Please excuse me …"
Gao Jun smiled and said, "Boss Xia, you are too polite. The interests of our program producer and the venue provider are the same. As long as everything is negotiated in advance, and there is full communication and mutual understanding during the recording process, I believe there will be no problems! I will also greet the producer and director of the program. They will fully respect your opinions and will not make any unreasonable requests! "
Xia Ruofei was completely relieved when he heard this. Although Gao Jun's posture in front of them was very low, in fact, he was the absolute boss of the variety shows of Xiangnan Satellite TV. After he greeted them, he believed that there would not be any bullsh * t problems such as making all kinds of temporary requests and guests acting like big shots.
Gao Jun raised his glass and said to Xia Ruofei with a smile, "Boss Xia, I'd like to propose a toast to you. First, I wish us a happy cooperation in advance. Second, I'd like to thank you for your support!"
Xia Ruofei said, "Gaotai, you are too polite. If you say something like support, I'll really be ashamed!"
After Xia Ruofei finished speaking, he raised his glass to Gao Jun from a distance, then raised his head and drank.
This time, he used a small white wine glass.
Gao Jun also drank this glass, and then he said excitedly, "Boss Xia, I have some ideas about the next season of 'The Life I Yearn For'. I hope I can get your support!"
Xia Ruofei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Oh? What do you need my support for? Don't tell me you want to provide Taoyuan vegetables and Taoyuan Dahongpao? That's not a problem, is it? We've already agreed! "
When Zhao Yongjun and the others heard this, they all laughed out loud.
Gao Jun shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Xia, I hope to invite you to participate in the recording of the first episode as a guest. In my plan, you will be the only guest in the first episode!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He said, "Me? Participate in a variety show? "
Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei repeatedly waved his hand and said, "Gaotai, forget it … I'm not a star, and I don't have any acting experience. Aren't you afraid that I'll open the door and completely ruin the next season?"
Gao Jun smiled and said, "Boss Xia, why aren't you a big star? Don't forget that topics about you are still in the top ten trending topics on Weibo! In this era, if you have a lot of traffic, you are a star! Moreover, Boss Xia's persona is really too positive, and your image is also very good. You are definitely the best candidate for our show's guest! "
Speaking of this, Gao Jun paused slightly, took a sip of fruit juice to moisten his throat, and continued, "As for the stage performance experience that Boss Xia mentioned, that's not a problem at all. The purpose of our show is to restore the real leisurely life. You can just treat it as visiting a friend's house for a day. If Boss Xia has seen our show this season, you should know that we didn't only invite celebrities from the entertainment industry. One of the episodes included Olympic champions and Winter Olympics champions! That episode of the show was also very outstanding! "
Xia Ruofei instinctively rejected anything that would make him appear in the limelight, but he still repeatedly said, "No, no! I really can't do this. Gaotai, you should find someone else! "
Gao Jun said, "Boss Xia, in my mind, you are the best candidate to guarantee a good start! We pay the guests who participate in the show an appearance fee, which is not lower than the budget … "
"Gaotai, it's not a matter of money …" Xia Ruofei said helplessly.
At this moment, Song Rui said with a grin, "Ruofei, I think that Director Gao's suggestion is good! Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it! "
Zhao Yongjun also began to persuade Xia Ruofei, but his analysis was more rational. "Ruofei, you should consider Director Gao's invitation carefully. First of all, if you personally participate in the show, it will definitely be good for product placement. You are the chairman of the Taoyuan Company! The audience will definitely have a deep impression of you! Second, it will also be very beneficial for you to maintain the popularity of your fans. The Internet likes the new and dislikes the old. Although you are now unreasonably popular on the Internet, after a while, everyone's interest might change. When that time comes, if you participate in a variety show with such high ratings, and during the show, the host will definitely talk to you about the forced landing of the plane, which is equivalent to deepening the audience's impression of you! "
Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhao, why do I need to maintain the popularity of my fans? I am running a company, not an artist! "
Zhao Yongjun laughed and said, "Why don't you try saying this to Manager Feng in your company? Who says entrepreneurs do not need to maintain the popularity of their fans? Jingbei's CEO Liu, Tmall's CEO Ma, all these big entrepreneurs still need to show their faces from time to time! Now, because of the Qantas incident, you have a unique advantage. If you don't maintain this advantage, your popularity will die down. Will your company's team agree to this? "
Of course, they will not agree! If not, Feng Jing, Dong Yun, Guan Ping, and the rest would not rush to make a fuss about Xia Ruofei's verified Weibo account.
Xia Ruofei also knows this, and he agrees with what Zhao Yongjun said about product placement to deepen the audience's impression of him. He is also a little tempted.
It was just that Xia Ruofei was still repulsed by the idea of appearing on TV.
After thinking for a long time, Xia Ruofei said, "Gao Tai, let me think about this! Anyway, there is still a long time before the official recording of your show. Even if I can't participate, it won't affect your selection of guests. "
Gao Yongjun smiled and nodded. He said, "No problem, but I hope Boss Xia will consider my suggestion. I also think that Manager Zhao's analysis is very reasonable."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "I will consider it seriously."
Zhao Yongjun and Song Rui exchanged glances, then took out their phones and sent WeChat messages to each other under the table.
Song Rui: "Brother Zhao, it seems that Ruofei is a little indecisive!"
Zhao Yongjun: "We have to add fuel to the fire. How can we miss such a good opportunity?"
Song Rui: "Seriously agree! Actually, I already have an idea! "
Zhao Yongjun: "I have an idea too. Don't be in a hurry to say it. Let's type our ideas on our phones, then I'll eat a mouthful of food. When I put down my chopsticks, we'll press send at the same time!"
Song Rui: "Interesting! Let's do it! "
Zhao Yongjun quickly typed his idea into the WeChat input box, but he did not press send. Instead, he held his phone under the table with one hand, picked up his chopsticks with his right hand, and put a piece of black pepper beef fillet into his mouth. He chewed and put down his chopsticks.
At the same time, Zhao Yongjun and Song Rui pressed the send button almost at the same time.
The two first looked down at each other's answers, then looked up and smiled at each other.
Song Rui quickly sent a WeChat message to Zhao Yongjun. "Hahaha! Great minds think alike! Let's do it! I'll use the excuse of peeing to go out and do this! "
Zhao Yongjun replied, "Okay! Xiao Rui, the organization will hand over this glorious and difficult task to you! Don't let down the organization's expectations and trust! "
Song Rui replied to Zhao Yongjun with an Eighth Route Army emoji. In the emoji, an Eighth Route Army soldier was saluting, and in the blank space were the words "Mission guaranteed".
Zhao Yongjun grinned and winked at Song Rui, then quietly put away his phone. Song Rui naturally put his phone back into his trouser pocket, then joined in the conversation.
In an era where the mobile internet was highly developed and almost everyone had a phone with them, it was common for people to check WeChat or read the news while eating at all kinds of gatherings and dinners. Therefore, the two's actions did not attract anyone's attention, including Xia Ruofei.
The dinner lasted until nearly ten at night. No one noticed that Song Rui got up and left the room during the dinner. He only came back five or six minutes later.
Xia Ruofei drank a total of two catties of Drunken Eight Immortals liquor that night. Even Gao Jun, who drank much less than Xia Ruofei, felt a little dizzy, but Xia Ruofei still acted as if nothing had happened.
Gao Jun not only admired Xia Ruofei's alcohol tolerance to the point of prostrating himself on the ground, but before he left, he kept reminding Xia Ruofei to seriously consider his invitation.
Xia Ruofei naturally agreed. After sending Gao Jun to the car, the brothers went back to their own homes.
Song Rui and the others called for a driver, and some directly called for the price.
Although Xia Ruofei could use his qi to force out all the alcohol, he did not want his friends to worry, so he called Wu Qiang in advance and asked him to take a taxi to the Wang Fu's private restaurant to wait for orders.
Therefore, after sending Gao Jun off, Xia Ruofei quickly got into the Land Rover, and Wu Qiang drove him back to Liuhai Lane Siheyuan.
When the car drove to the entrance of Liuhai Lane, Xia Ruofei's phone rang.
Xia Ruofei looked at the caller ID and muttered to himself, "It's so late, why is Manager Feng calling me?"
With doubts, Xia Ruofei pressed the answer button and smiled, "Sister Jing, what's the matter? Tell me if it's good news or bad news! "
