Chapter 478 New Substitute Guest of "Running Man"

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 movie. As for Chen Chichi himself, it had nothing to do with him.

Chen Chichi came from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, had some connections with the Shanghai circle, and also had a close relationship with Wei Yang.

However, he could help him in his career, and everyone would benefit from it, but it didn't mean that Boss Wei was willing to clean up his mess.

Strictly speaking, Chen Chichi's boss was Huayi, and the second king should have been the one to take the lead in the incident. Boss Wei didn't take a penny from him, and had no reason or obligation to cover for him.

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

If he cleaned up his mess, he might help him again, but if he didn't, then he was sorry.

This wasn't because Wei Yang was realistic and ruthless, but because the rules were like this.

Otherwise, whoever had a little relationship with him in the future would make trouble and ask him for help, and he wouldn't be able to help.

The employees in the company will also be uneasy. After all, one of the main reasons why they hand in their share is that when something goes wrong, the company will try its best to help them.

If Wei Yang helps everyone without any bottom line, and treats everyone equally regardless of whether they pay or not, and helps everyone regardless of their closeness, then the artists in the company will definitely feel unfair.

In the final analysis, Chen Chichi and Wei Yang do not have a good relationship, their interests are not deeply bound, and they do not have high-quality potential value.

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

At the same time, this incident also reminded Wei Yang that the group of people in "Running Man" is not safe.

As far as he knows, Xue Zhiqian has a big scandal, Liu Feiren seems to have had some problems, and with Bao Qiang who was stabbed in the back, more than half of them died in terms of emotions.

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

"Running Man" relies on popularity to make a living. If there are a few more bombs, the show will be damaged.

So let me be frank. No matter what you do in private, if you hide your tail, if it affects the program, don't blame the program team for being ruthless.

In addition, there is another issue, that is, Chen Chichi will suspend recording this season, and what to do with a vacant guest.

There are no secrets in the circle. Wei Yang has made a statement, and those who are well-informed have found out the news and started looking for ways.

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

Several regular guests have all become very popular, with popularity comparable to or even promoted to the first-line ranks, and their careers have taken off.

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

Xue Zhiqian, one of the three live treasures, relied on the popularity of this program to feed back his music career. He has become a top singer in the Chinese music scene from an out-of-date singer, and his several new songs have achieved outstanding results.

The only female guest, Dilirouba, was originally Gulinaza's little follower, but now she has surpassed her best friend and become the most popular 90s flower, becoming a top star, and her popularity is even close to those 85s flowers.

Liu Feiren, who is close to retirement, has seen his business performance increase at the end of his career, and he returned to the top three in the Forbes celebrity income list last year.

The other guests have also benefited a lot. Even the worst performer has received a lot of advertising, business, and film contracts, and gained both fame and fortune.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current permanent guest position of "Running Man" is as attractive as the starring resources of top film and television productions, and in the eyes of some artists, it is even stronger.

Chen Chichi was temporarily kicked out due to an accident, which made many people overjoyed.

His exit can be said to have given up a ladder to climb to the sky and a road to fame.

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

"Running Man" is so popular that people are scrambling to be a flying guest in a single episode, let alone a permanent guest for a whole season.

Besides, who can say for sure that he can't stay after one season? Newcomers laugh while old ones cry. The audience forgets a lot. After one season, maybe no one will care about Chen Chichi who made mistakes. There are not many cases in the world where substitutes become the main players.

Under the turbulent public sentiment, even Boss Wei has to receive a lot of harassing calls every day.

"Mao Zijun?"

"Chen Chichi is known as the three live treasures in the program group, Xue Zhiqian and Sha Yi. The one who can top him must be more comedy-oriented and understand variety show effects. I have also seen this Mao Zijun, but he doesn't have this ability."

"Hmph, it's useless. I'll tell the program group to arrange a flying guest for your company. Forget about being a permanent guest."

"..."

Wei Yang hung up the phone and sighed tiredly. Even Fatty Fan couldn't help but call him and promised him a lot of conditions. It can be seen how tempting it is to be a permanent guest of "Running Man".

Back to the activity seat, Gao Yuanyuan glanced: "Who is it?"

"Friend."

"Female?"

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

"Who pried into each other's privacy? It's not okay for friends to chat out of curiosity."

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

"Who is Zhang Yunlong?"

"Newcomer? Are you kidding me? If you promote a newcomer for no reason, Lao Lei and Yang Tianzhen will come to me and slam the table."

"Be good, just shoot your play honestly, 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 because of her favor. She will have to deal with it when she comes back...

Wei Yang, who was tired of being harassed, returned to his seat and thought for a while, then 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 is bent over, which means bowing, 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 1 billion. Hualuo ranks first in the most popular variety shows 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 actually 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 talents.

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

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

Before that, the term comedian was relatively vague. Generally speaking, those who made comedy movies were called movie actors, those who made sketches were called sketch actors, and those who acted in both were called comedians. They were well-known actors and could 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 very few comedy actors who have 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 of comedy groups, and I don’t know how many comedians are envious of them.

Therefore, for some excellent 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 Le Huan Tian", 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 young actors from Deyun Club have also received a mainstream high-definition exposure platform.

The other one is "The Pit King Arrives", 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.

Especially in the three northeastern provinces and northern audiences, it is quite popular. Although this drama may not make a lot of money, it will definitely not lose money.

In addition, it is to cooperate with the core actors of the Zhao family class to make several online comedy movies.

The quality does not need to be very high. The main point is to be short, flat and fast, with low cost and short time as the advantages, to seize the online movie market.

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

IQiyi once led the video website and dared to use self-made projects as the core pillar, and was the first to make a profit among mainstream video websites. It relied not only on the high-quality dramas headed by Misty Theater, but also on a large number of "shoddy" online movies.

Most people in this world do not have such high standards for watching movies.

Many people think a movie is bad, but many people think it is okay or even like it. If the movie does not cost money, there is no need to be demanding.

Some people are confused. Why a comedian has acted in a lot of bad online movies and still has constant film contracts.

There is no doubt, because his audience is not you, and the website and the film company do not care about the reputation of your movie, they only care about traffic and clicks.

For PPTV, online movies are also a point that cannot be given up, and the core actors of the Zhao family will be good partners.

Not only the Zhao family, but also Happy Twist, Love Laugh Brothers, Jia Ling team, and even Deyun Club, as long as the work meets the requirements, can cooperate.

However, compared with 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 invest in movies, but he also arranged for its main pillars Shen and Ma to transfer some of their brokerage contracts to Coral Entertainment, and the packaging operation and team configuration were directly improved by several levels compared to before.

Today, a big pie fell from the sky, which made Shen Teng and the Happy Twist team members in the rehearsal room dizzy.

"Let me replace Chen Chichi in "Running Man"?"

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

"You heard it right, the boss personally appointed the general."

Yang Tianzhen's eyes were a little complicated. There was a vacant position in "Running Man", and he was also working on his own artists to get promoted, but he didn't expect Wei Yang to personally choose Shen Teng, who was not a direct descendant.

"Can I ask why?"

"The boss saw your ability."

Yang Tianzhen rolled his eyes. With your appearance, you are still worried that Boss Wei will do something bad to you. However, her words did not dispel Shen Teng's doubts. He counted on his fingers.

He and Boss Wei have only met a few times in total, most of which were when he played Senior Brother Leng in "Celebrating Yu Nian".

Although they have chatted and even had meals together, Shen Teng considers himself a small role. There were more than one person at that time, so how did he catch Boss Wei's eye?

But no matter how many doubts there are, you have to eat the pie, and you can't let it go even if it's too hot.

Shen Teng knows very well that "Happy Comedian" is a platform for him to stand out, and "Running Man" is the opportunity to soar to the sky. He seized the opportunity that will change his entire life...
