The host sent a voice-over: "So, your wife has a good personal relationship with our boss?"
Huang Zhizhong shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands in a foreign style: "No matter how good our relationship is, it's useless, and they can't take care of me on the show. I'm a long-established star in Hong Kong, and I don't get any special care from him, and I don't even dare to pay for appearance. If you ask for more, I have to give you this little face as a friend!"
"Aren't you afraid that our boss will hear these words?"
"If you hear it, just hear it. You can fire me right away. The contract is signed anyway!"
"Then do you think you can survive until the finals on this show?"
"Thanks to Ma Zu for not being eliminated in the first two rounds. My Mandarin foundation is very poor. Before, it would take at least more than a month to practice a Chinese song. Do you think I can perform it well in such a short time?"
"As far as I know, there will be Cantonese songs in every issue!"
"But there is also a roulette wheel to choose songs. I don't think I was so lucky to get a Cantonese song!"
"But our boss said that we will launch another music variety show in the future, and there will be a Cantonese show throughout the year!"
"Haha, he really said that? This is a good thing. It shows that we still attach great importance to our Xiangjiang artists. You know? Your boss is very influential in our Xiangjiang. I think once this program is approved, we will It’s easy to hire those big-name singers!”
"I'm looking forward to what you said!"
"And this guy is also good at Cantonese. Do you know how long it took him to learn Cantonese? I mean to the extent that he can communicate fluently!"
"Three months?"
"No, three days! Isn't it scary? This guy is just a freak. He seems to have not only the legendary photographic memory, but also ear and brain memory. Anyway, he is not a human being!"
After hearing what he said, the Internet became extremely lively, with all kinds of funny comments everywhere. A casual search on the Internet at this time showed joy everywhere.
But someone else said something that hit the core of this show: "It's obviously just a variety show, but even the off-site interviews that haven't gotten to the main topic are so interesting. My expectations for it are even higher!"
A high-rise building was immediately built under this speech post. Often, dozens of unread messages appeared before I even finished reading this post.
At the same time, the data monitoring room of Shanghai Satellite TV was also full of laughter and laughter, which put the station leaders who had been waiting in front of the equipment as soon as the broadcast started in a good mood.
Nian Ran, Director of the Variety Show Department, said: "Let me just say, Mr. Liu's planning projects have never failed. This data broke the ratings record as soon as it started broadcasting, and is nearly higher than the average ratings of "The Voice". one point!"
A staff member turned back and explained: "Our technical staff sent news. According to his experience, the peak period of the first round will be after the start of the main game, and there will be at least a double increase!"
Deputy Director Hou Taizhang was surprised: "Doesn't it mean that the first issue can break 4? It is higher than the average of "Taylor's Travel Diary"?"
The man nodded: "According to the normal calculation method, it is like this, and it is far from the stable period of the first wave of ratings, and the data is still skyrocketing!"
Station director Qi Liangzhuo, who was standing aside, suddenly asked: "Lao Hou, how are the negotiations with Mr. Liu about the second season going?"
Hou Taizhang smiled bitterly and said: "How can it be so fast? You have to observe two issues before you can get into the theme, right? But I asked Xi Shan on the side, and based on what she said, Mr. Liu still wants to maintain a good cooperative relationship with us."
"So that's a joke?" Qi Liangzhuo's voice dropped a lot without realizing it.
Hou Taizhang nodded and replied in a low voice: "My personal estimate is that it is unlikely to win the production rights at once, but Mr. Liu will definitely make a big concession. It depends on his attitude next year. But that’s not the case with The Voice. Starting from the third season, we can produce it ourselves?”
"Well, that's fine. Don't take too big a step. Mr. Liu has a project in hand. Don't push too hard and make people look for other channels!"
"Yes, according to my information, several TV stations have been keeping secrets with Mr. Liu or people around him in the past year.
Keep in touch, we really can’t go overboard with our eating habits! "
"But after all, we are one of the four major TV stations. We occupy a lot of resources and spend a lot of money accordingly. It is not easy to have such a top-notch production, but we are always being led by the nose. Even the higher-ups will have different opinions. of!"
"Director, I know this well, and I have never relaxed my personal contact with Mr. Liu. From his words, it seems that it is not surprising at all that we are worried!"
"Oh, he is a smart man. There are advantages and disadvantages to dealing with everyone, but overall it is still beneficial to us. Who makes us not have his program planning ability!"
"Don't talk about us. Even the Han Kingdom and the United States regard us as treasures. Such people have such great market influence, but they are still willing to maintain a good cooperative relationship with us, and they have not taken the opportunity to raise the price. , I’m afraid there are even fewer people who can do this, right?”
"Huh? After your reverse reasoning, this is really what happened. This person really hasn't followed the changes in his status in the industry, and he has made requests to us."
"So, our ideas will definitely be considered by him as early as possible. In this way, as far as we are concerned, we must not put pressure on him. This person is a very face-conscious person, and the harmonious situation on the surface is completely different. Can’t be broken! Let me reveal another little secret to you. Today he called me and asked how much advertising fee we would give if two Hollywood superstars came to make temporary guest appearances on this show!”
"Damn it!" The director, who has always shown himself to be strict and dignified, actually uttered vulgar words in a hurry, "Whose two people were not mentioned specifically? What kind of guest appearance is this?"
"He didn't name the specific person, but in my estimation, there is no Chinese who has seen more big stars than him. Since they are both superstars in his eyes, the background of these two people must not be small! As for the guest appearance The format, after all, is our own mainland program, and the most we can do is show up and say a few words to the singers."
"If you really want to die like you said, just promise him, one million for each person, remember it's a beautiful knife!"
"This price is too high. The superiors won't agree to it, and our high-level meeting may not approve it!"
"Lao Hou, you have to think about it this way. If they were real Hollywood superstars, how much would we pay to invite them to attend an awards ceremony or a wonderful ceremony? It would be more than one million, right? This number seems to us to be higher, but their worth Right there, even asking Mr. Liu to appear is more than this price!"
"Isn't that different? Even if you invite me, you may not be able to come over. Why would someone come all the way here just for a small business event?"
"I'm just giving you an example! Furthermore, if you look at other brother units, or even the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan that developed far earlier than us, have there ever been guest appearances by big Hollywood stars?"
"Not once in my memory!"
"That's it. Just because we have set a precedent, we have reason to pay like this. I also think one million is a bit low."
"Well, if you put it this way, our station will have a good appearance on mainland TV stations, and it may leave a deep impression in the eyes of our superior departments!"
"Yes, that's the truth. If you have the ability, go and invite someone like this. I'm afraid many units don't even know where to submit invitations, right?"
"Then I will give you a reply according to the number you said?"
"I want to wait and see. I'll hold a meeting to implement it. I guess it won't be a big problem!"
"I won't participate. You see, it's so busy here that your head is spinning. You represent my attitude!"
"Okay, don't worry, the results will be available tomorrow morning at the latest!"
Liu Qingshan knew about this scene that appeared on the TV station that night.
It was Nian Ran who revealed this to him, which is not surprising. With the cooperation of Liu Qingshan's three variety shows, Tomato Channel now stands out among the top ten local satellite TVs, surpassing the former variety show hegemon Xiangnan Channel in one fell swoop.
Moreover, the sustainable development of these three programs is stable, the future benefits are promising, and the huge market attention they have received makes Nianran no longer satisfied.
It's just that it has a bright future.
Not only has he been designated as a candidate for the next deputy director, but the General Administration also knows his name and has left him alone to talk alone several times during system meetings.
Especially what the latter means is self-evident, not to mention that now the entire Shanghai TV is getting closer to Liu Qingshan and Xueyu Entertainment, and it is facing the pressure of domestic and foreign advertisers as if it is breaking through the threshold. swarms of people.
Liu Qingshan was secretly happy when he got the news. Originally, he didn't expect to pay the announcement fee to the two guests. He revealed the news to you Nianran in advance just to show off. ..
He couldn't help but feel complacent because the status of the two guests he invited was a bit too special.
He knows that any Hollywood big name or beautiful actress may not have the same effect as two people, because their tough guy image on the screen will always bring people the first impression, which will always get more exclamations than that of handsome boys and beautiful girls.
They are synonymous with Hollywood movies. They are the image spokespersons of Hollywood in addition to high-tech movie special effects. They have a celebrity effect that goes beyond the category of stars.
More importantly, these two people are currently popular, and their impressions on Chinese people have always been positive. Their modest and rigorous character settings are also in line with the characteristics of Eastern people.
Even Dwayne Johnson has expressed his love for the Chinese and Chinese culture more than once in public, and he has never provoked China's principled issues in private.
There is another hidden reason that cannot be ignored, that is, Liu Qingshan's influence overseas is growing day by day. The so-called arrogance of foreigners caused by him is subtly changing because of his appearance.
Maybe people who have been in the mainland all year round don’t know much about it, but in the past two years, due to the emergence of the Internet, similar information circulation channels have become more and more open, and more and more people know about it.
Furthermore, his circle of friends overseas were quickly accepted by the Chinese people. This is also an indisputable fact.
