?g???Jt??#???|t?2x????3??]??????EX3???!??X??? time, Li Fanyu took the ride directly The cargo plane from the transportation company arrived in Colorado Springs. The comfort of a cargo plane is so different from that of a passenger plane. Sitting in a cabin full of cargo, feeling the outstanding skills of the retired Air Force pilot suspected of drunk driving, he almost threw up the dinner he had last night. come out. r
After finally arriving at the place, I changed to a truck and after more than four hours of trekking, I finally arrived at the base camp of "Topgear" - the abandoned airport near Splice. r
After the first episode of "Topgear" was aired, Sanguike started intense production. For "Topgear", each episode is one hour long and has a large number of outdoor scenes. The rhythm of weekly broadcast is definitely not very high. Generous production time. r
So even if the show’s investor and big boss Li Fanyu came in person, they didn’t have time to pick him up. r
Coincidentally, when Li Fanyu arrived at the base camp, they were filming the location part of the second episode. r
Because of the popularity of the show, the program team received many requests from viewers for on-site guests. So during the filming of the second episode, more than 300 car enthusiasts from all over the United States gathered at the scene. r
After Li Fanyu unloaded the F150 and parked it in a large warehouse originally used to park aircraft, he came to the shooting scene. r
At this time, the three cheap passengers were having fun on the test track converted from the airport runway,r
Director Mihir had met Li Fanyu before. When he saw the big boss coming, he stood up to greet him. Seeing him getting up, Li Fanyu quickly waved his hand, indicating to continue the rest of the shooting. r
The first episode of the show became a hit and many people associated with the show were very excited. Among them is Jones, the old rich man who provided the venue for the show. r
At this time, the old guy was mingling among the audience. When he turned around and saw Li Fanyu coming, he smiled and said hello from afar. r
"Hey, look who's here!"r
Although the venue was borrowed for free because Old Jones felt that he had taken advantage of it and wanted to repay the favor. But it was just a matter of friendship. Seeing Jones at the scene, Li Fanyu hurriedly greeted him. Accepted his bear hug. r
Li Fanyu was surprised to see this person at the scene: "Jones, why do you have so much time?" r
"Haha, have you forgotten how I introduced myself to you?" Jones patted his shoulder and asked with a smile. r
"Of course, besides money, the only thing you have left is time."r
"Haha, I'm afraid in front of you, I can only claim that I have time in the future, Li, but I heard Stewart talk about the show. After the first episode was broadcast, many websites and TV stations came to When discussing the exclusive broadcast rights for the second season, Stewart has already raised the price to US$50 million. It is said that there are other countries that are talking about program licensing. Oh God, that will definitely be a sky-high price. My friend, you will make money. My ability makes me, an old guy who has been immersed in the business world for decades, ashamed!”r
Faced with Old Jones's compliment, Li Fan waved his hand with a silly smile. But I was secretly proud; this is nothing, I just did it casually...r
The more awesome things have just begun. It's just that before the matter is settled, no matter how bad he is in his heart, he won't speak out and set a flag. r
After chatting with Jones for a while, he learned that this old guy didn't just come here because of his free time. r
The program team became famous so suddenly that before the first episode was aired, they were still worried about how to get a car for the program review. r
Clarkson had contacted Old Jones before and learned that this guy was a car collector. So I approached him early and borrowed several luxury limited edition sports cars from him for the show. r
The reason why Jones was at the filming site of the second episode this time was because, as an old car fan, he learned that this show was very popular and came to watch the fun. Second, he also personally escorted his luxury sports cars. r
Old Jones’s collection of luxury cars has reached an obsessive level. As long as it's something he's interested in, no matter if it's something that's not available on the market, this guy will find a way to get one and put it in his garage. r
During the chat, Li Fanyu was surprised to learn that this guy's private collection of luxury sports cars had reached one hundred. r
Even if calculated at US$500,000 per car, it has reached a terrifying value. r
This behavior is similar to that of a prince from a certain kingdom that Li Fanyu had heard of before. What a collection fetish...r
Take the three cars at the shooting scene as an example. One is the Alfa Romeo 5gt, the sports car that best represents Italy. The other is the Mercury IU100, which has the most American muscle car DNA. The other is a car that focuses on luxury and The quality is that of the old British sports car brand RF5118. r
These three cars are all valuable supercars, and they are limited editions. r
Just tell me how much money this old guy can spend,r
After straight-line acceleration, extreme obstacles and drift racing, the three bad guys had enough wandering in the venue, and then they ran to the director to see the shooting effect. r
On seeing this, I realized that Li Fanyu was there, so he quickly announced a break from work and came over to exchange opinions on the program with his boss. r
Does Li Fanyu have any opinions? r
The work of these three guys changing their tricks, judging from the first episode, has already made the show as good as his memory "topgear". With abundant funds and relative freedom, there is already a vague trend of transcendence. r
So he just expressed his condolences and turned the topic back to the right track - that is, he wanted to use the program to promote the F150. r
Clarkson and his friends didn't have any objections to him wanting to use the show to advertise. You must know that for any variety show, advertising profit is an indispensable means. r
What's more, Li Fanyu is the owner of this show and uses his own show to promote his own car. Is there anything wrong with that? r
No! r
However, Clarkson has his own persistence after all. After hearing what Li Fanyu said, he gave him a shot of vaccination: "Boss, you also know that this show can attract viewers who really like cars. Our interest is because of our objectivity and impartiality. So...even if the car you build is unsatisfactory, I will not show mercy.”r
Seeing this guy's serious face, Li Fanyu couldn't help but want to laugh. r
This is one of the reasons why he admires Clarkson; he has a bottom line and dares to speak. r
"Of course there is no problem, but first you have to understand the F150."r
Li Fanyu took several people outside the warehouse, and when he lifted the canvas covering the F150, he could clearly see the slightest hint of disapproval in the eyes of the three cheap customers. r
The appearance of the F150, to be honest, is just like that. r
Big, rough and square. r
Judging from these elements, the F150 is an authentic American pickup truck. For the three of them, who were born and raised in England, there was obviously little attraction. r
"Boss, how do you want us to promote this... this working people's car in the show?"r
The corners of Li Fanyu's mouth twitched twice...r
What James May said is actually correct... Since the birth of pickup trucks, they have been good news to the people at the bottom... America's enthusiasm for pickup trucks is because this type of vehicle is durable, has a wide range of applications, and is generally not expensive. r
But this sounds...why is it so awkward! r
After thinking about it, he spread his hands and said: "I will give you the specific data of this car in a moment. You don't need to brag about it. And you think that in order to advertise my car, I have to lower the entire program. Is it cool? ”r
Hearing what he said, the three cheap guests stopped talking...r
After a while, Clarkson asked: "Then do you have any ideas?"r
Li Fanyu thought for a while and said: "I need to let the F150 tow something during the evaluation process to reflect the excellent rear axle load-bearing capacity and towing capacity of this pickup! From this aspect, to reflect this The power and versatility of this car.”r
"Then boss...what do you want to delay?"r
Seeing everyone's curious faces, Li Fanyu snapped his fingers and said, "Can you help me contact a plane to come over?"r
Three cheap guests, Jones: "...
