Liu Qingshan suddenly realized: "The phone ran out of battery last night. He must have failed to get through! Auntie, what program was he talking about? With his connections, there are so many big-name artists in Xiangjiang. Can he still find one?"
"The variety show called 'Prize Doorman', according to him, was no longer hosted by him as early as last year, but he still needs an album for the station's 10th anniversary, called 'The World's Invincible Gezi Special'" , the previous content was to invite foreigners to sing Cantonese or Mandarin pop songs. Guests must correctly guess the name of the song, and the one who guesses correctly wins. Due to the special nature of the tenth anniversary, the song guessing part was temporarily adjusted to singing, and the other Hong Kong The guests are all very big names, and this foreign guest also needs corresponding cards!"
Liu Qingshan knew something about this show.
This variety show series is a popular variety game show hosted by Zeng Zhiwei. It has been popular in Hong Kong and even the mainland since the first series.
Its novel program ideas and interesting program segments have been imitated by similar game shows.
This person has been working in the entertainment industry for many years, and is known as the Prize Men because of his high status. This program can be said to have been tailor-made for him ten years ago, and it has become the treasure of the famous TV station.
??????????????? He is well-known in the Hong Kong entertainment circle for his seniority, wide connections, quick thinking, quick wit and funny skills. He is also fond of playing in variety shows and game shows. Don't hesitate to tease the participating artists, it has been the number one show in Hong Kong's variety show industry for a whole decade.
Although the content of the program is to invite popular artists to play games and compete for bonus prizes, the style is "spoof" to attract the audience.
Eric Tsang's gags are commonplace, and he often makes fun of celebrities' scandals and negative news, even when the person involved is present.
What's more, the wide variety of game sessions are also talked about by the audience. In addition to the regular fun sessions, celebrities are also shamelessly embarrassed, which has become the biggest attraction in the history of Hong Kong variety shows.
Watching screen idols being pranked, the audience often laughs happily, so this program has earned ratings and huge wealth for the TV station.
Although Liu Qingshan didn't understand why this person gave up this gold medal variety show that he had hosted for ten years, he also knew that no matter how famous an artist was, sooner or later the contracted project would have to be put into action.
However, he didn't bother to understand the reason. After he understood what was going on, he immediately called Zeng Zhiwei.
The other party had obviously been waiting for this call, so there was no politeness at all and he went straight to the point: "Shanzi, don't worry, this program is just a matter of filling in omissions and a normal fulfillment of the contract..."
What follows is a flurry of explanations.
He had no conflicts with the TV station as expected, and even signed a long work contract.
Moreover, he is a very outstanding actor and has won many awards. He is considered a pillar of this old TV station that started out as a Hong Kong drama.
He also relied on his popularity to do variety shows and made many of his fellow artists popular.
Therefore, the TV station has always respected Tsang Chi-wai and is unwilling to go against him.
But he chose to leave this show after ten years of running. Of course, it is impossible for there to be no reason. According to him, it was because his creative inspiration was almost exhausted and he had some minor health problems.
There are reasons why this tenth anniversary special episode was not held last year. First of all, he had just taken over the position of president of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association and was very busy with his work, which took up a lot of time. Secondly, the guests he wanted to invite were due to various reasons. For various reasons, it has not been possible to gather together.
During the delay of more than half a year, he and his creative team came up with new ideas. They did not want to follow the previous ideas and create a series that packaged all the games played in the past and newly conceived games into one decade. Big celebration idea.
Instead, the theme of the past issue with the highest ratings was taken out separately, and the game links were interspersed with it. The relevant links were no longer set as the theme of the celebration.
After all, this is a ten-year celebration theme, and it is not suitable for a relaxed content setting with laughter, because the game can never be compared with the timelessness of high-quality singing.
Therefore, making it a special type that is closely related to the singing of the song will make it more memorable.
Moreover, it is much easier to invite singers than actors, so the idea of creating a star-studded ensemble is more likely to be realized.
As for why a foreign singer of considerable importance is invited, it is naturally to make a fuss about the international nature of the program. After all, Hong Kong is also known as an international metropolis.
???????????????Coupled with the special historical background of Xiangjiang itself, local people and entertainers are very familiar with English songs, and many of them can even speak fluently. English.
But how to choose foreign singers has become a big problem. Old musicians who are familiar to more people cannot be invited to a small local program. Moreover, in this special edition of the award show, the invited guests do not have much advertising fee. of.
Look for young people who have become popular recently. Lack of popularity and relatively unfamiliar works have become problems. Another important reason is that this program is entirely recorded in Cantonese. The reason why foreign guests cannot perfectly integrate is equivalent to ending early at the same time. Possibility of inviting several people.
So Taylor, who is currently gaining momentum in the European and American music circles, was brought into the spotlight. However, because the program team could not afford the advertising fee equivalent to Taylor's worth, there was a phone call from Zeng Zhiwei.
He was embarrassed to use Liu Qingshan's hand to facilitate this matter. After all, it was not easy to say that there was not much money to take.
So he wanted to use friendly kidnapping to get Taylor's attitude, and then directly contact Liu Qingshan.
Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that the two of them came to Hong Kong at the same time. It was an unexpected surprise for Zeng Zhiwei. Because Taylor was in Hong Kong and not an old American, the chance of a successful invitation was much higher.
But at the same time, Liu Qingshan became an unavoidable obstacle. His previous strategy of intending to bond with friends was useless. Otherwise, there was only one possibility, and that was to completely offend his relationship with Liu Qingshan.
After hearing this, Liu Qingshan actually understood the other party's plan in his heart. Therefore, even if this so-called ten-year celebration did not appear in his foresight database, he also knew how to deal with this old traitor. Dealing with the slippery Eric Tsang.
He even talked nonsense in front of Andilia, and she couldn't understand the conversation between the two parties anyway.
But before that, he still needed to show courtesy among friends: "Zhiwei Wei, you also know that I have certain medical skills. What minor problems can't I treat? Since you are ill, as your little one Brother, if you can't get the news right away, is it because you are incompetent as an elder brother?"
Zeng Zhiwei's duck-like voice is one of his characteristics. Even though he knows that it is Liu Qingshan's polite words, it is enough to feel that he has a face. After all, many of this man's abilities are not only mysterious, but also seem to be beyond ordinary people's understanding.
So his next laughter became much more sincere, but his tone sounded like an old Jianghu: "To be honest, my brother is not the only one you have good friends with in Xiangjiang. People who are far more powerful and famous than me are with you." You're very close. Isn't this mindless flattery? But there is still communication between us. Almost everyone has expectations for your medical skills, but this great favor cannot be used casually, including me. Everyone inside will stay to save their lives, do you understand this?"
"Hahaha, Zhiweiwei, are you interpreting it too much? I understand your point of view but I don't agree with it. Friends remembering each other is a matter of affection. Whether they can share things when things happen is a test of mutual understanding. I will do my best. In my opinion, there is no need to be so cautious, right?"
"Having said that, everyone has their own things to do. Friendship is also a must for friendship, right? There is no kind of love in the world that must revolve around oneself. This is the world of human relations! In short, brothers , we old guys can still make a clear distinction when it comes to looking at this issue, you don’t have to have a psychological barrier, it’s all human nature!”
"Okay, you guys have walked more roads than I have. As a junior, I won't be flirtatious, but when you call me from now on, I will I will try my best to do it!”
"Hahaha, I'm just waiting for your words! You also understand the cause and effect of this announcement. Tell me your opinions. Brother, I have been anxious to get a house in the past two days! But the ugly words are ahead, where is the money? It won’t be much, and it may be quite different from Taylor’s net worth.”
"Smart Viagra, let's talk about this. If it were me, I would still have to support my brother. There's nothing to say. But the problem is that Taylor's current agent is her mother. You also know that Taylor's acting appointment is in my hands. , but the brokerage contract doesn’t belong to me!”
"Are we brothers? If so, stop making such big circles in front of me. Let's be honest. The money is only so much. Do you want her to come?"
"Don't worry, brother! Just ask me more. I won't even take any of your advertising fees, but you are a local snake. Is there any advertising endorsement or something suitable for her in Xiangjiang? I'll help introduce you. I might as well have the face to talk to her mother!"

"Hiss... This is a good question. I haven't really thought about it before! And I understand what you mean. Taylor is currently in a stage of rapid development. The amount of the endorsement contract is not important. What is important is the overseas sales. Am I right that the contract will bring her the weight of an international star?"
"Zhiwei is still smart and sophisticated. I just revealed a little bit, and you guessed it 100%! Yes, it doesn't matter how much money the contract is worth, the key is the meaning of the contract itself."
"Shanzi, actually you can do this yourself, but it will take you a little time and make time to attend more local gatherings in Xiangjiang, such as auctions, business meetings, etc. With your current reputation and social influence, I guarantee that it will not take three days to get the first contract!”
"What you said is like saying nothing. How can I have time to run around now? I might as well say it straight for the next movie shooting. I only left myself one month. If this period is exceeded, it will affect the next drama. It’s done, and that’s an investment of hundreds of millions!”
In 2006, an investment of hundreds of millions was a huge amount. It cannot be said to be unprecedented, at least it was very rare.
