Chapter 479 The new substitute guest of "Run"

Chen Chichi's incident caused quite a stir, but Wei Yang didn't pay much attention to it.

After realizing that no one wanted to attack "Detective Chinatown", Boss Wei became much calmer and used his energy and connections to protect the public opinion of the film. As for Chen Chichi himself, it had nothing to do with him.

Chen Chichi came from an acting background, had some connections in Shanghai circles, and had a romantic relationship with Wei Yang.

However, they can help each other in their careers, and everyone can benefit from each other, but that doesn't mean that Boss Wei is willing to wipe his ass.

Strictly speaking, Chen Chichi's employer was Huayi, and it was Erwang who should have been the one to take the trouble. Boss Wei didn't take a penny from him, so he had no reason or obligation to cover up for him.

Again, because of their friendship over the years, Wei Yang was willing to give him a chance later.

If your butt is wiped clean, you may give him another hand. If you can’t wipe it clean, then I’m sorry.

This is not Wei Yang's reality and ruthlessness, but this is the rule.

Otherwise, whoever has something to do with him in the future will make trouble and ask him for help, but he will not be able to help.

Employees within the company will also be upset. After all, one of the reasons why they hand over their share is that sometimes if something goes wrong, the company will try its best to solve it for them.

If Wei Yang had no bottom line and allowed everyone to help, and treated him the same whether he paid or not, and offered unified assistance to people close to him, then the company's artists would definitely feel it was unfair.

In the final analysis, Chen Chichi and Wei Yang do not have a good relationship, their interests are not deeply tied, and they have no high-quality potential value.

Wei Yang was able to retain his role in "Detective Chinatown" and was given another chance, which is quite elegant.

At the same time, this incident also reminded Wei Yang that the people in "Run" were not safe.

As far as he knew, Xue Zhiqian had a big man, Liu Feiren seemed to have had some troubles, and with Bao Qiang who was stabbed in the back, more than half of them were killed emotionally.

So Wei Yang notified the people in charge of Blue Whale and Coral Entertainment to pay more attention to rest in this regard.

"Run" relies on its popularity, and if it explodes a few more times, the show will suffer even if it is not disabled.

So the ugly words come from the front. No matter what you do in private, keep your tail hidden. If it affects the program, don't blame the program team for being ruthless.

In addition, there is another issue, and that is what to do if Chen Chichi suspends recording this season and has a free guest.

There are no secrets in the circle. When Wei Yang let the news go, the well-informed people found out the news and began to look for ways.

After two seasons of broadcasting, "Run" has replaced "The Voice of China" and has become the most popular variety show in mainland China.

Several regular guests have all become famous, their popularity is comparable to that of others, and they have even been promoted to the front line, and their careers have taken off.

Captain Deng Chao, riding on the momentum of the movie, has become the representative of young and middle-aged mainland male artists.

Xue Zhiqian, one of the three living treasures, relied on the popularity of this program to support his music career, and suddenly became a top-notch singer in the Chinese music scene. Several new songs have achieved outstanding results.

The only female guest, Dili Rouba, was originally Gulinaza's little follower, but now she has overtaken her best friend and become the most popular 90-year-old girl. She has been promoted to the top, and her popularity is even equal to that of the 85-year-old girls.

At the end of his career, Liu Feiren, who is close to retirement, has seen an increase in business performance instead of declining. Last year, he returned to the top three in the Forbes celebrity income list.

Several others have also benefited a lot, even the worst performers, who have received generous advertising, business, and film contracts, and gained both fame and fortune.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current permanent guest position of "Run" is no less attractive than the starring resources of top film and television productions. In the eyes of some artists, it is even more attractive.

Chen Chichi got into an accident and was kicked out temporarily, which made many people overjoyed.

His exit can be said to have opened up a ladder to the sky and a way to become famous.

Even though Blue Whale revealed that the contract was only for one season, it did not stop everyone's enthusiasm.

"Run" is so popular that people are clamoring for single-issue flying guests, let alone a full season of regular guests.

Besides, who can say for sure that after one season, he won’t be able to stay? The new ones will laugh while the old ones cry. The audience is very forgetful. After one season, maybe no one will care about Chen Chichi who made mistakes anymore, and the substitute will become the main force in this world. There are not many things to do.

Amid the raging public sentiment, even Boss Wei receives many harassing phone calls every day.

"Mao Zijun?"

"Chen Chichi, Xue Zhiqian and Sha Yi are known as the three living treasures in the program group. Naturally, those who stand up to him must be more comedy-oriented and understand variety show effects. I have also seen this Mao Zijun, but he does not have this ability."

"It's no use humming. I'll tell the program team to arrange a flight of guests for your company. Don't even think about permanent ones."

"..."

Wei Yang hung up the phone and sighed tiredly. Even Fan Xiaopang couldn't help but call him and promised a lot of conditions, which shows how tempting the regular guest of "Run" is.

Returning to the movable seat, Gao Yuanyuan glanced at him: "Who is it?"

"friend."

"Female right?"

Wei Yang spread his hands and said, "What did I say when your husband called me? We agreed not to pry into each other's privacy."

"Who is prying into privacy? Friends cannot just chat among themselves out of curiosity."

Gao Yuanyuan curled his lips. Wei Yang was about to reply when the phone rang again. He glanced at the caller and stood up helplessly.

"Who is Zhang Yunlong?"

"Newcomer? You are kidding me. You are praising a newcomer for no reason. It would be strange if Lao Lei and Yang Tianzhen don't slap me on the table."

"Be good, just keep filming your scenes, and don't worry about this."

"..."

Angrily, she hung up the phone call of Damimi. Although Mao Zijun recommended by Fan Xiaopang was not suitable, at any rate, "Legend of Wu Mei Niang" was also popular, which gave her some confidence.

Damimi immediately carried all the newcomers out, and it was like the three beauties of the fairy sword got into bed together - making Boss Wei laugh.

This little girl is definitely arrogant and arrogant, she will have to deal with it when she comes back...

Wei Yang, who was tired of being harassed, returned to his seat to think about it, sent a message to the "Run" program team and Yang Tianzhen, then threw his phone to his assistant and did not answer non-important calls.

...

Magic City, Mingguang Film and Television Park

A standard film and television studio has a statue of a stooped golden man wearing a half-smiling clown mask at the door, which is the symbol of "Happy Comedian".

It is worth mentioning that the shape of this statue comes from "Fame". There are slight differences between the two, but they are from the same origin.

In the movie, this statue is called the "God of Entertainment", which is a joke. In "The Happy Comedian", it is called the "King of Comedy". The shape of the statue bends down to mean a bow, and the half-smiling clown mask means It is to leave the smile to the audience and the sadness to yourself.

The same statue has different meanings, the pattern has become larger, and the influence is completely different.

Since its appearance in mid-January, the statue of "The Happy Comedian" has become popular all over the country in just over half a month. Also becoming popular is the program "Happy Comedian" and the major comedy groups participating in the show.

Currently, "Happy Comedian" has aired three episodes.

The average ratings exceeded 1.5, ranking first in the same period on Friday, and the cumulative online broadcast volume is approaching 10 billion. Hualuo ranks first in the popular variety show list on the entire network, with a Douban score of 8.3, making it the comedy variety show with the best reputation.

Comedians such as Song Xiaobao, Shen Teng, Ma Li, Jia Ling, Xiao Yueyue have also soared in popularity.

Before this, their reputation was not bad. Many people had attended the Spring Festival Gala, but it was limited to the Spring Festival Gala and extended to offline theaters at most. Only a few had a certain degree of success through the Internet, and everyone had a familiar yet unfamiliar impression of them.

And through "Happy Comedian", these people have been completely given the opportunity to get in front of the public and the mainstream.

This is crucial for these comedians who are born in sketch comedy and have limited talent.

Many people in later generations classified comedians into one category, as if they were comedians and could make movies and perform sketches.

This is actually a statement made after the rise of comedy power after programs such as "Happy Comedian".

Before this, the term comedian was relatively vague. Generally speaking, those who make comedy movies are called movie actors, those who make sketches are called sketch actors, and those who act in both are called comedians. They are well-known actors and can get along in any profession.

But even for comedians, except for a few people, as long as they are from sketches, it is very difficult to get into the film and television industry.

The entertainment industry has never lacked contempt chains. The film and television industry is larger than the sketch circle. The important reason is that the sketch circle has a small market size, a narrow upward channel, and poor liquidity.

It's okay for those within the system, at least the harvest is guaranteed despite droughts and floods, but those outside the system are trying their best to squeeze into the film and television industry just to make ends meet.

But the film and television industry is not so crowded!

There are only a few comedy actors with outstanding looks. Most of them can't play the leading role and want to play supporting roles. There are many experienced actors in the drama circle and they are familiar with them. Why should I use you?

Therefore, many comedians are deeply involved in offline theaters. The important reason is that they cannot squeeze into the film and television industry and can only find their own jobs.

People like Zhao Jiaban, who has a double reputation in the spotlight, are already the ceiling for comedy groups, and I don’t know how many comedians are envious of them.

Therefore, for some outstanding comedians, they do not lack strength, background, or team. What they lack is exposure and an opportunity for the outside world to understand them.

"Happy Comedian" is such a platform that has allowed many comedians to skyrocket.

Later in my previous life, a huge comedy market developed as a result, benefiting countless comedians. The boundaries between the sketch circle and the film and television circle began to blur, and they were collectively referred to as the comedy circle.

However, even though these comedians have emerged, few can see their potential.

But as long as it can be seen, the layout has been laid out, and the one who makes the quickest and most extensive move is naturally Boss Wei.

In fact, even before the broadcast of "Happy Comedian", Boss Wei had already started making arrangements, including investing in Happy Twist, preparing to produce comedy film and television projects, and PPTV in-depth tying up multiple comedy teams.

Just when "Happy Comedian" was on the air, PPTV began to promote two variety shows with Deyun Club.

One is "Deyun Music", which records the crosstalk performances of Xiao Yueyue and other Deyun Society crosstalk actors, and takes the essence and makes it into a collection.

PPTV has received high-quality cross talk content, and the young actors of Deyun Club have also received a mainstream high-definition exposure platform.

The other one is "The King of Pitfalls", a solo collaboration with Little Hei Fatty. It focuses on Little Hei Fatty's stand-up comedy. It can also win over and attract many crosstalk and storytelling lovers.

In addition to Deyun Club, PPTV has also cooperated with Zhaojiaban.

First, they are prepared to spend a lot of money to purchase the drama "Country Love 8", and they are likely to win this series for a long time.

Don’t think that the quality of this drama has declined since it was filmed, it’s smelly and long, and no one will watch it.

On the contrary, the fact that this drama has been able to produce more than a dozen movies and still has a certain influence shows that the basic foundation of this drama is still there.

It is especially popular among viewers in the three northeastern provinces and the north. If you win this drama, you may not make a lot of money, but you will definitely not lose money.

In addition, he collaborated with the core actors of Zhao Jiaban in several major online comedy movies.

The quality does not need to be high, the main focus is on short, flat and fast movies, taking advantage of low cost and short time to seize the online movie market.

Internet movies have always been a market that many ordinary people do not pay attention to, but in fact they have considerable benefits and have a good impact.

iQiyi was once the leading video website, dared to use self-made projects as its core pillar, and was the first to make money on mainstream video websites. It relied not only on high-quality dramas such as Mist Theater, but also on a large number of "shoddy" online movies.

Most people in this world don’t have that high standard for watching movies.

Many people think a movie is bad, but there are also many people who think it's okay and even like it. If the movie doesn't cost money, there's no need to be demanding.

Some people are confused about why a certain comedian has been in a lot of bad movies on the Internet, but he still keeps filming.

There’s no need to doubt it, because his audience is not you, and the website and the film studio don’t care about the reputation of your movie. They only care about traffic and clicks.

For PPTV, major online movies are also a point that cannot be given up. The core actors of Zhao Jiaban will be good partners.

Not only Zhao Jiaban, but also Happy Twist, Aixiao Brothers, Jia Ling's team, and even Deyun Society can cooperate as long as the work meets the requirements.

However, compared to other comedy groups, Wei Yang has more expectations for Happy Twist.

Many people have felt this.

Not only did Wei Yang invest in Happy Twist and produce movies, he also arranged for his main actors Shen and Ma to transfer some of their agents to Coral Entertainment. The packaging operation and team configuration were directly improved by several levels compared to before.

Today, a big pie fell from the sky, knocking Shen Teng and the Happy Twist team members in the rehearsal hall into a daze.

"Let me replace Chen Chichi in "Run"?"

Shen Teng was so frightened that the wrinkles on his face were flattened, and he spoke with a eunuch voice. Ma Li next to him was completely stunned, and Allen and others clapped their ears in disbelief.

"You heard it right, the boss ordered it himself."

Yang Tianzhen's eyes were a little complicated. There was a vacant position in "Run", and he was also working on the promotion of his own artists, but he did not expect that Wei Yang would appoint Shen Teng, who was not a direct lineage.

"Can I ask why?"

"The boss is interested in your ability."

Yang Tianzhen rolled her eyes. With your appearance, you were still worried that Boss Wei would be unkind to you. However, her words did not dispel Shen Teng's doubts. He counted on his fingers.

I have only met Boss Wei a few times in total, most of them when I was filming "Celebrating More Than Years" when I played Brother Leng opposite him.

Although they had chatted and even had dinner together, Shen Teng considered himself a minor player, and he was not the only one at that time, so why did he catch the eye of Boss Wei.

But no matter how many doubts there are, you still have to eat the pie when it’s time to eat it, and you can’t let it go if it burns your mouth.

Shen Teng understands very well that "Happy Comedian" is a platform for him to stand out in the industry, and "Run" is the opportunity to soar into the sky, seizing it will change his entire life...
