"Tucao Conference" can be regarded as officially entering the attention of the program groups of satellite TV and provincial channels.
Just after the first episode was aired, the ratings ranked seventh among satellite TV programs. As long as the quality of subsequent programs can be guaranteed, the ratings will definitely continue to rise. As for how high it can go, no one knows.
Because the first phase was still in the running-in period, the filming process was a bit slow. It only took two weeks to complete, which also caused the subsequent filming to be rushed.
Even before the colleagues from the "Tucao Conference" program team got over the good news of the first episode's high ratings, they were already about to start filming the second episode.
The guest invited in the second issue is Zhou Chao, a third-tier artist from Baicheng Entertainment.
According to the standards for inviting artists in the early stage of "Tucao Conference", Zhou Chao is also a has-been artist.
Zhou Chao was also very good back then. Although he did not become a first-tier artist at his peak, he was still at the forefront among second-tier artists. His status is equivalent to Zhang Ning, Qin Guangwei, and Qi Xue today.
But when his career was at its most prosperous, a lot of black material about Zhou Chao suddenly appeared on the Internet.
A big tree attracts wind. Most of the so-called black materials at that time are untenable now and are just rumors without even a picture.
However, Zhou Chao also had some problems of his own. At that time, he was young and frivolous, and his career was still at its peak. His personality was somewhat arrogant, which offended many people. This also led to the fact that when he was blackmailed by the entire Internet, few people stood up to speak for him. , there are even people behind it.
Things were quite big back then. Zhou Chao quickly went from a popular niche to a has-been artist who couldn't get any work. After all, it was boycotted by the entire network. Until now, you can still occasionally see some stories about Zhou Chao on the Internet. Disgraceful reports.
In Studio One.
"Click!"
"Okay, let's take a rest before continuing to shoot."
Zheng Guang put down the loudspeaker and looked towards Tan Yue on the stage.
Tan Yue did not rush off the stage to see the effect of the shooting. Instead, he walked up to Zhou Chao and said with a smile: "Teacher Zhou, what do you think? Do you think it is acceptable?"
Zhou Chao, who is in his thirties, no longer looks like the fresh young man he once was. His skin may have become a bit rough and dark due to lack of care, but it adds to the temperament of a mature man.
Zhou Chao smiled politely and said, "Teacher Tan, I have no problem."
After a pause, Zhou Chao grinned slightly and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I have heard words that are ten times more ugly than this over the years. I don't know how many times you complained."
Tan Yue nodded slightly.
He didn't know if Zhou Chao was really as arrogant as those reported in the news before, but now Zhou Chao standing in front of him was much calmer.
Moreover, from the moment they first came into contact, their attitude was very low. At that time, the first episode of the program had not yet been filmed, and no one was optimistic about the ratings of "Tucao Conference".
It can be said that discussing cooperation with Zhou Chao went more smoothly than talking with Li Ya.
After asking about Zhou Chao's situation, Tan Yue went to Zheng Guang's place to check the effect of the program he had just filmed.
"Boss, please drink a glass of water. Warm water, neither cold nor hot." Momo followed, very concerned.
Tan Yue waved his hand and said, "If you're not thirsty, go ahead and do your work. I'll call you if I need anything."
Momo stuck out her tongue. Although she was a little depressed, she was already used to Tan Yue's attitude.
Tan Yue nodded to the people greeting him along the way, came to Zheng Guang's side, looked at the screen, and said, "How is it?"
Zheng Guang has also been a director for so many years, and his abilities are impeccable. Moreover, after training in the first episode of filming, he already has a relatively deep understanding of this type of talk show.
Not only Zheng Guang, but also the entire staff of the "Tucao Conference" program team has gone through the two-week running-in period of the previous shooting. Now, the shooting efficiency has been greatly improved.
The number of retakes is also relatively small.
"I think it's okay. Although Mr. Zhou Chao doesn't participate in the show much anymore, he still has a strong sense of variety show." Zheng Guang said.
Tan Yue nodded and said, "After all, he was a talented artist back then."
Tan Yue secretly thought it was a pity. Both Zhou Chao and Li Ya were the mainstays of the young generation in the Chinese entertainment industry. If it were not for those negative public opinions, their future would be limitless now.
After watching the scene he just filmed, Tan Yue nodded and said, "I can pass it, no problem."
After seeing the results of the shooting just now, Tan Yue found that in terms of performance on stage, the planners of his program team could not compare to Zhou Chao.
According to Tan Yue's understanding, Zhou Chao has rarely been able to obtain high-quality resources in recent years, so he has been semi-retired most of the time, and may not be able to participate in one program a year.
However, not only did the business level not drop, but the typhoon was stabilized.
Tan Yuechong waved to Momo next to him and said, "Go and call Xiao Zhang and the others, and I'll hold a meeting with them to talk about the shooting."
Tan Yue felt that it was necessary to retrain the planners in the program team.
...
Two days later, as Zheng Guang called to stop, Tan Yue stepped off the stage and checked it over and found that there was no problem. The filming of the second phase of "Tucao Conference" was officially concluded.
Zhou Chao didn't bring his agent team with him. He came to Jishui for filming in his own car and with a young assistant.
I originally planned to have dinner with Zhou Chao in the evening, but Zhou Chao had to drive to Hangzhou for some business, so Tan Yue and Zheng Guang came downstairs to see him off.
"Teacher Tan, Director Zheng, thank you."
Zhou Shen said with gratitude.
After he knew the ratings of the first episode of "Tucao Conference", he also thought about whether the program team would kick him out and choose other artists as guests, but later he found out that he was overthinking it.
Moreover, during the filming process, Tan Yue and Zheng Guang both valued his wishes, which also touched Zhou Chao, who had been neglected by the entertainment industry for a long time.
Tan Yue looked at the rough middle-aged man in front of him and said with a smile: "We should be the ones thanking Teacher Zhou."
Zhou Shen shook his head and said: "Originally, I planned to slowly stop accepting shows. After all, I know how bad my reputation is. I'm tired of shows that ask me to be a clown. I'm thinking of officially quitting entertainment in the future. Circle. But now that I have participated in the "Tucao Conference", I feel that I can survive for a while. After all, I really like the feeling of being on stage."
After listening to Zhou Chao's words, Zheng Guang was a little moved, and Tan Yue also sighed in his heart. Has the popular young artist who was so high-spirited now fallen to this?
Tan Yue took a breath, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, happy cooperation."
Zhou Chao laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to shake Tan Yue's hand, and said, "Happy cooperation, Teacher Tan, Director Zheng."
